Indeed, most airlines around Europe that fly E-jets have less legroom in economy because normal economics are in play (cost sensitive customers, maximise number of customers) as there isn't the same mainline/regional split (where European airlines have regional arms, they're typically fully-owned subsidiaries and essentially differentially by type of aircraft rather than capacity limitations).
Having had two major surgeries due to "unkillable" intestinal infection, I can advocate for the efficacy of VSL#3. My GI actually prescribed me a high-dose version post-op, and two years later i can say it has been life-changing. Other common "store shelf" probiotics are not the same for whatever reason (supply-chain refrigeration and cost might explain that somewhat).
Yahoo! Japan was a joint partnership of Yahoo! and SoftBank. From what I could tell while working at Yahoo!, Yahoo Japan was able to use whatever software they wanted from Y!, but whatever they developed wasn't accessibly by the rest of Y!

So, they had their own installation of geocities, and didn't need to take it down. Yahoo auctions is also big in Japan, but was killed everywhere else. (Edit: change was to is)
I haven't crunched the numbers but I'd say the lack of hassle also has value. I'm not sure where to even get that data. If you know where it is, I'll do some math.
As someone who doesn't develop for the Apple ecosystem, I can't quite find one place that articulates well what the Swift development philosophy is and what it brings to the table besides just being modern language with shims for interacting with legacy Apple APIs. Why would I use Swift on Linux?

Most of the posts that I see related to Swift are RFCs evaluating solutions to problems in other languages. I rarely get to see the actual solutions being integrated into the language. Is this just a result of HN readers caring more about language design than learning to leverage the Swift language?
> This point might've come across as "you have no choice." ... that you have choices. You can pay a premium for a better seat, .... You can fly a cheaper airline and forgo checked baggage or in-flight meals/snacks.

Oh for sure. I didn't mean "you have no choice", I meant "everything in your life is optimized to make more money, so don't be surprised when they change to move towards that goal.

Packages of food are getting smaller, you check yourself out at the supermarket, you don't get plastic bags for free... the list is endless. It's the way the world works, so don't be surprised, and certainly it's not "news".
Huh, I knew I had a zombie bitcasa account that I assumed I'd been paying for but was too lazy to cancel, and was surprised to see it on your list! I think there's a market for a product that individually curates a person's miscellaneous accounts (say it watches your bank/credit card accounts or whatever) and alerts them when fees increase or the company goes bankrupt or it looks like a zombie account (and maybe offer to close it for $10 ($30 for comcast)).

And Google has done that -- for instance, they use Binder for IPC instead of dbus/kdbus on Android. But every time Google does that, they pay a price for using Linux, as they have to maintain anything in the kernel that doesn't make it upstream.

The reason Google cares about this, as noted elsewhere, is that there is no stable kernel ABI for drivers, so vendors who release drivers-as-blobs, fail to release the driver source code (yes, it's a GPL violation; yes, it happens anyways) or otherwise pin their driver to a specific ABI need to release new drivers every time the kernel changes. Google would love to release Android versions independently of drivers, the way Windows works.

> I would consider a chat client one of the 1%. Although there are many chat clients, and other examples that we could think of, there are thousands of websites and apps of the "small to medium" size that SQLite might be a good fit for.

The issue with those is still that if you have a too high writing load, SQLite will become a bad fit. It’s perfect for any low writing, high read situations, as many websites are, but for more dynamic applications it seems to be less usable.

Also, the FAQ of SQLite still lists

> SQLite supports an unlimited number of simultaneous readers, but it will only allow one writer at any instant in time. For many situations, this is not a problem. Writer queue up. Each application does its database work quickly and moves on, and no lock lasts for more than a few dozen milliseconds. But there are some applications that require more concurrency, and those applications may need to seek a different solution.
Youtube is constantly on the knife-edge of being sued en masse by large media owners, as they were by Viacom. It's why their copyright strike system seems "broken," when it's really operating as intended, giving copyright holders arbitrary power to remove content they feel is infringing (without regards to fair use) because anything less would probably lead to those companies to simply prefer to sue Youtube into oblivion.

Technically speaking, of course Youtube could have a download button, but if they did, as far as the Viacoms of the world are concerned, they're just enabling piracy, and taking control away from content owners.
Yes! I now exclusively use Google Flight Search because of this (and as a result routinely and happily pay more to fly on airlines that have sane seat pitches)

yikes... I'm conflicted. Not a huge fan of Torba, first of all. I checked out Gab a few times, and while I think intentions were good, there is a lot of hateful stuff there.
That said, Gab as a platform and app doesn't itself promote hate, so I'm not sure I agree with removing it. That would be like removing Telegram because terrorists have been found to use it.

Holy crap that is weird. Well I won't be using Google Fi. I was reading Fi's Terms of Service and came across this gem:

We take protecting your Customer Proprietary Network Information or “CPNI” very seriously.

Using CPNI without your additional approval is limited to specific purposes. By using the Services, you allow us to use, disclose, and permit access to your CPNI without your additional approval only for the following limited purposes:

It's better to think of it as a hard forked upgrade. Normal BTC won't exist in any meaningful manner after this fork. Just like other coins hardfork all the time to upgrade. The previous chain could still exist if you wanted to run it, but no one does.

Losing anywhere near 90% hashrate means that chain of Bitcoin has no point in being called Bitcoin anymore.
Much of it depends how public it is. For instance something like whisper needs to remove nudity/hate speech else they'll be kicked off iOS/playstore. But, you can still send it directly without issue.
Where do you get that idea of the moral superiority of the modern left (is that not what you meant?) from? Isn't it quite strongly related with cultural Marxism, which is related to Marxism which (I hope) we can agree has been been the most genocidal ideology of human history, birthing Bolshevism, Stalinism and Maoism?

This is both a segue and something tightly related; do you think the genocide of white males is hypothetically possible, and do you have an opinion on the relation between the Armenian genocide and the modern-day "alt-right" notion of "diversity = white genocide" in relation to (re/dis)placement migration as promoted by the European Union, Sweden, Canada, Germany and France?

(I just noticed the combination of overwhelmingly (Islamic?) male illegal migrants and "diversity" as in the promotion of ethnic minorities and non-males, I think that might result in some interesting conflicts re: normal non-Western attitudes regarding women, but perhaps there is no conflict because of some dynamic I'm underestimating or overlooking?)

the tone is consistent throughout the article. The author is reflecting on the tragedy of his cousin's life, so the tone is searching and tragic.

Not a lot separates the experiences of the two cousins, at least at first. By the time of his cousins' conviction and release, there is a much wider gulf.

So the tone is tragic-- that seems justified. Isn't this a tragedy?

The idea that governs the phone systems the modern internet was born from. That providers of network access must provide access to other networks equally. That the networks are neutral to the content flowing across them. This is about preventing monopolies of the physical lines.
I am mostly moving on from an LG G2 to the new Essential Phone. For the past year I have been running AICP, currently at Android 7.1.x Prior to that I had about a year of Cyanogenmod.

Granted, third party roms are not for the average user but it amazes me how few on HN seem to run them and instead whine about why their 3 or 4 year old phone is no longer getting the latest greatest. People here like to point to Apple/iOS but really, how many of the iPrecious users are still on an iphone 4 or 5? Seems that crowd rolls over every 12 to 18 months so what difference does it make?

I get there's ugly stuff on the internet, but when did all the platforms decide to start being the moral center of determining what's acceptable speech. Hate speech is still protected speech (in the US anyways)[1] no matter how horrible it is.

> A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government’s benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

Assume positive intent, but set boundaries. The first part sounds like wishful thinking but it merely reflects the fact that there are no bad intentions, only mistaken ideas about what is good. The second part reflects the fact that some people know more than others.
Let's take Torba out of the equation and just say innocent Dev A wants to create a truly free speech platform, where anything goes and only illegal things get removed. Like voat, per se. We all see how that turned out.

I'm kind of curious why we can't have an uncensored platform that represents both sides. Is it because good people prefer censorship?
This is the issue with any "unmoderated" or "anti-censorship" network/project. We see it over and over again. If this is your mantra, you're going to be used by unsavory characters, and that toxin will eclipse your entire brand/project. Tor is a good example of this, and to some extent, it has happened with Reddit.

We need censorship-resistant networks, but they should not be advertised that way, because that will attract entirely the wrong type of early adopters. As if the chicken-and-egg problem needed additional complication.

So incorporate public peer review into the public domain papers site, and have universities base tenure on number of 4/5-rated reviews of other's published work, and number of independent replications of published papers, rather than number of original papers published?
Maybe it's because the "first impression" of Gab when the reviewer uses it is that it's a bunch of trolls; while for e.g. Tor you have to dig a bit to find the drugs that everyone is using it to buy.
How to Sell Elixir
Being poor must in part be not knowing how not to be poor or having felonies or depression holding you back. I failed out of college and barely scraped one month of rent for an apartment. I got a shit job working the dock in a light bulb warehouse. I made friends with the truck driver who picked up orders who told me about an opening on their better paying dock. After half a year my hard work caught the eye of HR who put me through driving school. And a few months later I was making $45k/year driving trucks and working the dock. I had rough times and missed a day or two of food every once in a while, But working your way up in trades is doable and straightforward. After paying back my $18k in school debt and seeing much of the country while driving, I went back to the cheapest college I could find and got a degree, from which it was all downhill from there.
For me it's the push notification "how was your stay at Starbucks" .. so creepy
Do you find my statement idiotic, badly reasoned, unproductive or just "wrong"? I'd love to know, seriously.
Maybe a better angle would be having a place / tab / section where it's contained or marked as such? Marking vile content is one thing - wholesale censorship is another.
Great talk for technical team leaders evaluating options for the business. The lessons apply to everything, not only Elixir IMO.
Linux "enterprise" distributions update things for a long time without requiring support from the hardware vendor.

The "funny" thing is people who aren't poor but who have experienced one or more of these things once or twice tend to sort of double down on the "being poor is people wondering why you chose to be" item. They don't "get it" long or hard enough to understand how for most it's not a choice.

I'm surprised that async/await is the preferred idiom.

Having worked with async/await in Node.js a lot, it is of course a significantly better solution than plain promises, but it is also quite invasive; in my experience, most async code is invoked with "await". It's rare to actually need to handle it as a promise; the two main use cases where you want to handle the promise as a promise is either when doing something like a parallel map, or when you need to deal with old callback-style code where an explicit promise needs to be created because the resolve/reject functions must be invoked as a result of an event or callback.

Would it not be better to invert this -- which is the route Erlang and Go went -- and make it explicit when you're spawning something async where you don't want to deal with the result right away? In Go, you just use the "go" keyword to make something async. So the caller decides what's async, not the callee. If callers arbitrarily decide whether to be async or not, a single async call ends up infecting the whole call chain (which need to be marked "async" unless you're explicitly handling the promise/continuation without "await").
The WebRTC stuff was based on libjingle originally. We built that as part of the Windows Google Talk client. It was all based on XMPP and not SIP.

Does Google still stand for "free and open Internet"?

"Our values remain the same: The Internet should be competitive and open. That’s how it works today and how it has always worked. It’s a level playing field, where new entrants and established players can reach users on an equal footing. If Internet access providers can block some services and cut special deals that prioritize some companies’ content over others, that would threaten the innovation that makes the Internet awesome."

Reading those references... you basically admit inflammatory, hyperbolic, and inaccurate characterization of the GOP? Not a single one targets any ethnic group or minority.

I'm not a GOP supporter, but you are not helping the situation.

Make a reasonable argument with supporting evidence in clear language if you want to change someone's mind. Stop contributing to the bipolar political bullshit in this country.

By your logic one could easily argue that the Dems target minorities for repression as well. They want to keep some minorities in poverty (progressive taxes for higher income) and steal from other minorities (rich people).
