Agreed. All the credit arms of the manufacturers will be hit hard. I didn't mention this in my parent comment but you alluded to another great point. 60+ month loans can mean that those who drive more than 20k miles can use their car up before it's even paid for.
I don't understand how you see AMP pages representing a standard web? AMP represents the complete opposite of web standards and anything to remove it from the web leaves us all better off.
You can't guess the internal state of a CSPRNG based on the output. That's what makes it CS. The only way to get the internal state is to break the OS protection and look at the memory directly. And if the attacker can do that, then they can do it for the multiple PRNG version too.
Indeed. I'd say more, but spoilers.
MY favorite are the exorbitant salaries paid to sports faculty, even when the sports program is loses money.
Not really, the #1 reason is that came out at a time the most common explorer was IE8, and IE9 which was an improvement over 8 but still slow and clunky as hell (and no ad-blocking). The story would be different if Edge had existed back then, but then again Edge exists as a response to Chrome (before Chrome, browsers didn't even auto-update silently)
You assume the primary purpose of college/university is to teach. No. In America anyway, it is mostly a credential. The prestige and exclusiveness of your uni serves as a marker of intelligence in a society in which it can be legally treacherous to give potential employees IQ tests.

I will agree that for a significant minority of students the learning and learning to teach oneself are important. I doubt the top universities do a better job of this. From that perspective I think the main advantage of the sorting is that it is easier to teach if your students fall into a narrow band of ability

This is cool. I periodically have a related idea that coincides with my isp downtime. I once had 3 straight weeks of downtime.

It's an app to monitor a connection for downtime and give exact reports for when the connection is down. Then treat the data collection server as a quasi political group and use the data to push the FTC, ACCC, etc to force ISPs to give pro-rata refunds for these downtime and or substandard speed periods. Nothing would speed up a fix like lost $$.
> he seems to view very different aspects (purely cosmetic ones, such as the indented line in a first paragraph, or heavily usability-oriented ones, inserting a TODO note) as equally important.

er.. and why shouldn't they be? I want all the features I want, and they are equally important, unless they are mutually exclusive and I'm forced to choose between one or the other.

In the case you point out, indentation isn't "purely cosmetic" and enhances usability, and in any case, cosmetics and usability aren't mutually exclusive so one can desire both.
It's phrased combatively because wording like "self-assembled clock" plants an intentional picture of naivety. I'm okay with HN readers pointing out when it happens.
Consider donating time or money to underfunded public schools or community colleges. A lot of these programs are chronically underfunded and teach those who are most likely disadvantaged in the first place.
Not AMP per se but just how Apple make sweeping changes by fiat without soliciting feedback that affect how standard technologies are used throughout the web. This is just another move they've made that will force whole industries to adapt for no reason other than Apple wanted to do it.
The FTC is so weak.
My understanding is that the latest development on Whalesong is dependent on a somewhat old version of Racket at this point.

I believe a more up-to-date (but less complete?) effort is Racketscript: https://github.com/vishesh/racketscript But, with Racketscript, I believe only a subset of the language is supported.

IIRC, Clojurescript was able to make traction because they succeeded in mostly porting Clojurescript to Clojurescript. With the work to move Racket to Chez Scheme, they are writing more of Racket in Racket, so maybe that'll make Javascript an easier target?

Of course, with Web Assembly, perhaps things will be even easier still.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Indeed really small sizes like 11px, distinguishing factors are few and even San Francisco and Roboto start looking like the same font, at least as far as most people are concerned. The goal with Interface is not to create a unique-looking typeface, or even to try to make something different in terms of style, but to create the best possible small-size, computer-screen, user-interface oriented font, even if that means that some characteristics become very similar to other typefaces. For instance.
Thanks, Florin! This is great! Very clear!

Hi,

I actually work in the GSuite support organisation you refer to .

Firstly, I'm sorry if you feel that you weren't provided with an appropriate level of support. Or that troubleshooting took inordinate effort/time on your part.

Secondly, you probably know this, but there are multiple tiers of support - and there are meant to fairly well defined paths for escalation. Obviously the front line is very much basic initial troubleshooting for the average user - the products cater to a fairly wide range of technical skills/background.

Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you want - my HN username at <company that makes Chrome> dot com.

One of the most underrated aspects of getting a degree from one of the top universities is the
prestige and network that comes alongside the education. Depending on your field of study, those
"extras" can be more important than the education itself (i.e. in finance)

Perhaps the purely academic aspect of universities can be replicated using YouTube tutorials but
unfortunately, a self-thought person won't have the same employment opportunities as someone
who holds a degree in the same field from a top university.
I do agree that admin costs are too high. However I think most of the tuition growth is due to decreases in state and federal funding.
You make the mistake of thinking Apple cares about market share. Their philosophy has always been to take the largest share of profit [1], with their phone market share hovering around 10% depending on country. Similarly their computer market share hovers around 5%, but it remains highly profitable.

Pair automation with a small, likely stylish car and demand from city-dwellers would be enough if Apple released something compelling.

Yes, you have possibly valid use cases. I should have clarified that my objection is to Internet connectivity specifically, although I am not yet persuaded that a 1% efficiency gain for my refrigerator or other appliance (regardless of connectivity) justifies the additional expense and complexity of using a microprocessor.
> Sadly I think lots of my countrymen think of green fields being the default state of rural UK and don't realise it's the legacy of deforestation by stone age man..

Much if not most of the deforestation in the United Kingdom took place in the Middle Ages and later, to extract resources during the Industrial Revolution. For example the Caledonian Forest in Scotland experienced massive destruction following the Highland Clearances in the 18th and 19th centuries. William the Conqueror had large tracts of forested land set aside as protected parks that were later destroyed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_forests
The pointless admin is from services given to the students. Universities (that aren't household brand names like the Ivys) compete on services and facilities. And because most students are young and using other people's money (their parents or their future selves) they will choose schools not because they have the best deal educationally but, because they beautiful grounds, newer, swankier dorms and all of the social clubs and facilities for those like sports fields, etc.

It's a market problem with misaligned incentives and payment structures that has slowly grown worse over the past 40 years. No one actually says no because competition favors those that fatten themselves up with attractive but functionally useless things.

It's more like peacock feathers than malice or greed by administrators.
"(long)pow(a, len_s - (i+1))" is both inefficient and inaccurate. You should store the current power in a variable which you multiply by 'a' and reduce by 'm' on each iteration.

Also, your double hashing scheme has a bug. You identified that it's problematic if hash_b returns 0, but adding 1 to the result doesn't actually solve anything, because now you have the same problem if hash_b returns num_buckets-1.

While that can be a bad thing, in this specific case it is curtailing a similar abusive overreach by google, and IMO a good thing.

You can use exactly the same arguement you made against AMP, I don't see negating AMP as some great evil.
Stanford is building a new "campus" in Redwood City. 35 acres. 2,700 people on site. None are students. None are faculty. No teaching or research will occur there. It's all administrators.[1] "School of Medicine administration; Stanford Libraries and University Archives; the major administrative units of Business Affairs; Land, Buildings and Real Estate; University Human Resources; Residential & Dining Enterprises; and the Office of Development", says Stanford's FAQ. ("Development" in university-speak means fund-raising, not building construction.)

Now that's management bloat.

Stanford has only 2,180 faculty members.

It's difficult to design an education system without the following property, but nonetheless I find it an unfortunate one:

You do better at university when you already know the material, not when you use the university to learn the material. Your well-being (tied directly to gpa) depends on you not making mistakes during your coursework.

I don't know about you, but mistakes are how I learn.
I agree. After seeing how my mother has been ravaged by dementia, I would prefer to not know 15 years in advance. She was in relatively good health and exercised, etc, and took medication to help slow down the disease but it didn't help. I would rather just not know and commit suicide once I am in the moderate stage of dementia. It really is that bad.

That combined with the relatively high false positives makes this a pretty bad investment so far, in my opinion.
Sadly, digits have a different width, so if you have e.g. a right-aligned, increasing numerical value in your UI, the left digit of it will "wiggle around" if the last digit iterates through 0-9, and if you have numerical values, they won't align.

This may be OK for text, but specifically for user interfaces, this is the very first thing I check when considering whether a font is usable.

With a good font, it will be immediately obvious which of these amounts is more, while this font would likely mislead you:

$ 100000

$ 111111

Ironically, Roboto seems to get it right.
If 1) Amazon let me buy the groceries online and pick them up at the store and 2) started carrying "normal" brands, they would have my business. I don't want to pay $8 for a gallon of milk, and I don't want to see a sign that asks me to let the cashier know if I'd like the conveyor belt wiped clean in order to preserve the organic integrity of my produce.

Basically, just get rid of the attitude where you expect someone to pay $6 for asparagus in water, and we're good. (https://www.eater.com/2015/8/3/9090797/whole-foods-asparagus...)
I was responding to "I don't know why Bolt sales are so low"

The reason is that people don't really want electric cars per se, but they do like the idea of owning a Tesla. And yes, the Model 3 is a status car still, because of the Tesla name and relative rarity, even though it's more mainstream in pricing.

If people wanted electic cars, Bolts would be selling better. Chevy sells tons of regular cars.

Google created it to consolidate control of content on their platform to get people to get used to a specific UI provided by Google. There are other companies that hold caches, but the design and implementation is essentially chosen by Google (note that the fact that the AMP privacy policy just leads to the Google privacy policy). I can completely understand why Apple would want to get rid of it -- it adds a Google UI to the article that otherwise wouldn't have it and it isn't necessary to see the content.

Edit: clarified about AMP usage and Google's involvement.

As a tenure-track professor, obviously I'm biased, but tenure doesn't mean you don't have to work. Professors still have to pull their weight around the university and department. If nobody takes their classes or they aren't bringing in research dollars, that would be a problem that would be brought up in their performance appraisals.

The vast majority of tenured professors make about 1/2 to 1/4 of what their value is in industry, and at research institutions most work 60+ hours per week. On average, I work far harder now than I did as a PhD student or when I was in industry.

An interesting alternative tenure are renewable five year contracts, which are used at some teaching universities and some prestigious research institutes. About a year before the contract expires, a professor at these places has to document their successes and convince the institute to renew their contract. The idea is that a professor basically would be "going up for tenure" every five years (but not receiving it, just getting their contract renewed for 5 more years). If they start getting lazy, their contracts don't need to be renewed. Going up for tenure requires putting together about 100-200 pages of documentation describing your research, pedagogy, service, etc.

> Why don not zoho encourage startup ?
Assuming you ask why they don't employees to? Why should they? They are a business.

> Why do zoho employee salary is lower than others who works in same kind of product startup ( Chargebee, freshdesk, etc startup ) ?
Why zoho did not give share to early employees who helped zoho to raise billion dollar company ? or did zoho raised to billion dollar company in single handle ah ?

Probably it works for their business model. As far as I know, they are a private firm and have stated their intent to remain one. Hence no equity.

> If zoho don not have value degree then why do have package variation based on colleges (NIT, IIT, sastra)
May be Zoho has observed a pattern in candidates from institutes being successful, and want to have a more attractive offers to attract these folks.

> Why do people leave zoho and Can you reveal the recent attrition rate ?
No idea, but perhaps the reasons are not too unusual - Better pay, quality of work, growth, impact, bored ...

> Why do zoho new product development is very slow, why they don't develop product like startup product.
Too generic a question. Why do you think its slow? What do you think needs to be done to churn out products faster? And why does it need to be faster?

Remember, in the end of the day, your renumeration is dependent on how "irreplaceable" you are to the company, irrespective of your background. Know your worth and negotiate respectfully. If this doesn't work, you can always leave and find another job that you may find fulfilling.

You are part of the organization. Use appropriate channels to let higher management know what needs to improve. If nothing improves, and if corrections are beyond your scope of duties, leave. There is no stopping you ;)

The hyperbole is strong here. Most people is > 50%, it will most definitely not happen, the car arena can not be compared to the smartphone arena in any way because smartphones did not exist in significant numbers.

Tesla is at best going to end up as a solid player once the replacement cycle kicks in, until then they are super fragile and could just as easily die as make it big.

Let's wait with calling out the milestones until they actually happen. For now Nissan/Renault is actually the biggest seller of EVs.
