> Alright, so you use VPN as your bastion server - effectively.

No, I apologise if I wasn't clear, the bastion server is accessible only after you are either also within the office or logged in via the VPN. It's an additional hoop to jump through, not a replacement. The point being, the bastion server is locked down in addition to the requirement to be logged into the VPN or being physically located at the office. IP locking is not a replacement, it's a sensible addition. I think perhaps this is why you think it's silly; you're misunderstanding that it's not a different layer it's an additional one.
I don't think HTC gets enough credit for their part in the smartphone revolution. Even when they were making windows CE devices they were pushing the UX and phone build quality forward, including making launchers that resemble what Android turned out to be.

The only piece they were missing was capacitive screens. With that they could have made history.

The certificate lists the registered organization as "GeoTrust Inc." Shouldn't it be registered to "Equifax Inc?" I'm not sure what other services (such as web hosting) GeoTrust might also offer, but I wouldn't trust this website actually belongs to Equifax.

I also tried it at Umami Burger, but mine was cooked medium. It dripped pinkish juice similar to a medium-cooked burger. I found it surprisingly close to the real thing. Most people would guess correctly in a blind test, but if you served it to an unsuspecting person, they'd probably think it was the real deal.

One caveat: I may not be the best judge of accuracy. I eat meat maybe once every three months (usually by accident or because my alternative is to go hungry).
For context for those interested, Article 3 of the Spanish Constitution says the following (translated into English):

"1. Castilian is the official Spanish language of the State. All Spaniards have the duty to know it and the right to use it.
2. The other Spanish languages shall also be official in the respective Autonomous Communities in accordance with their Statutes.
3. The wealth of the different language modalities of Spain is a cultural heritage which shall be the object of special respect and protection."
I think online analysis is the way to go, for those of us using non-google-sized codebases. Of the many tools I feel programmers are missing in order to clean up the mess we're making, Sourcegraph is trending towards several of them - keep up the good work!
I am glad I'm not the only one. It reads just like terrible undergrad papers I have to read because it is just simple sentence after simple sentence. I got as far as "That is why I decided to cover it in its utmost details" in the forth paragraph before I gave up.
Don't use the word 'force' when no force is involved. On the Internet, if you "attack", you send words or pictures. You send ideas. A bomb blows people apart. You do not have to, either intentionally or accidentally, train yourself to respond negatively to a bomb. A bomb blows you apart no matter who you are. An idea does not. Only you can control how you react to any given idea.

And I don't think it's likely that if everyone could cause indiscriminant destruction it would be likely to occur because that is already the case and has been for a very long while. Killing people is NOT hard. Just look at what people do with a car when they want. How many cars are there? How many angry, desperate people with access to them? And how common is it for them to drive it into a crowd and kill and injure people? Run the numbers. You're more likely to die from being hit by a meteor, so concern yourself with that instead.
Servings can have pretty different amounts of calories, and often people are looking for the cheapest way, rather than simply the densest way. I don't think this list is useful at all.
There are very few apps that require the latest OS to run unless they are 64 bit only. Even then, if there is an older version on the app store that was supported by your OS, you will be given the option to download an older version most of the time.

It is interesting that Tesla still maintains that cars sold today will eventually be self driving. That implies the remaining problems are mostly software related. Meanwhile there are still heavily investing in developing new replacement hardware. That continued investment is obviously the right move from a long term business perspective. However if I was a customer it would have me questioning the capability of and their commitment to the current hardware.
As another SAR guy, I'll second this. It's challenging, and not just physically. The cool toys and technical training you mentioned require a degree of analysis and problem solving, as well as getting into the nitty gritty details that many programmers love. There is also a lot of need of technical software types, as GIS becomes ever more prevalent and if you like the challenge of maintaining a network in an office building, try taking it to eleven by doing it in the out of doors.

The classic example of political correctness is the term "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas".

I answered this same question in another comment. Copy pasting:

As to when you stop with the right of self-determination, in the case of Catalonia, from a cultural, language, and historical point of view, there's enough reasons for a referendum to be held (given the discontent of the population). There's a similar situation with Quebec, for example. As far as I know, there's nothing about New York --language, history, or culture-- that would warrant a referendum, and there's certainly no reason for you as an individual to do so (you don't even have the basic political institutions).

>The only people who should be politicians are the ones who'd do it with no campaign funds and median wage.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

Representing people is full time job and must be paid living wages.

People competing to represent people deserve to get funding to support living expenses while they run their campaigns.

Do you want a factory worker delivering pizza at night to represent people like him? If so, then he needs funding so that he can put food on the table while he tries to get elected. If people don't crowdfund it then there is no other option but to seek lobbyist money. No different than soldiers and police and firefighters.

The problem is that there is not enough turn over of representatives. More people being able to get living expenses crowdfunded mean there will be more competition for representatives, competition to win and keep supporters, not a competition to seek and win lobbying funding in support of re-election.
Is one person offering their opinion a hundred times the same as a hundred people offering their opinions once each?

I would eat this (as long as the price is reasonable). I've been having to cut down on red meat due to health issues (gout). I find most veggie burgers to be pretty good (I'm not too picky) so this stuff would have to be extremely competitive in taste and price to make me even bother trying it.
You don't seem to understand the difference between zoning and use because your link proves my exact point.

A place zoned residential can fall under ADA compliance if the use is commercial. Exactly as that link states. So the first part of your statement "Houses are not commercial establishments" is correct for zoning classification, but you fail on the second half "as such are not covered under the ADA." - a residence operating as a business can be under ADA.

My comment "A residential structure can still be required to be ADA compliant dependent on use." - is 100% correct based on the very evidence you supplied.

At this point, why dont you just accept that this is a very complex topic and one that just maybe I've spent more time navigating than you.

It seems one of the "killer features" of this transmission is the ability to rotate in the same direction as the motor is spinning as well as the opposite direction the motor is spinning. I'm not sure if there is a lot of utility in "bicycling backwards while pedaling forwards". :-)

Still - I would imagine there are many uses outside of robotics for this transmission.
It's not so much a failure of urban planning as a difference in priorities. It's something that you think should be fixed because you're used to a different environment and have different priorities.

The most essential argument:

"I would like for our industry to be more like librarians. Librarians have a sense of who they are as a profession. They have a central ethical code around patron privacy. The current Librarian of Congress fought John Ashcroft and was ridiculed by him for the idea that people have a right to read what they want to read without it being reported to the FBI. When you go to library school, you absorb this. If you violate it, you’re shunned by your profession. And no one’s bringing in Ukrainian librarians to circumvent it—it’s not like they’re going to offshore library science to get around patron privacy.

You see this in other fields. Doctors say do no harm. Journalists—in theory, at least—are trying to speak truth to power. But we in the tech industry don’t have anything like that. We need some kind of professional identity about who we are and why we do what we do. It can’t just be about “moving fast and breaking things” or not being evil. "

Lots of "not quite lies" in the interface to generate false urgency where none actually exists. Like showing you how many other people "looked at this property", but not saying the timeframe...in the last hour? Day? Week?

From experience, there are two kind of cloud providers. The normal ones like AWS, OVH and Digital Ocean. And the shady ones.

What's interesting is we already have the political infrastructure in place to do this. Lose the presidency and let each member of the cabinet run their own section of government.

In addition to losing the single executive, you'd need to make some other constitutional tweaks e.g. deploying the military would require a consensus between the Secretaries of State, Defense, and DHS (and maybe Treasury?).

Something like that could end the imperial executive branch with a very simple distribution of power.
They will deliver some sort of slightly enhanced autopilot that will be able to drive autonomously in few areas and require constant attention in all others, and announce a major victory.

Garmins are generally much more expensive than smart watches (i.e., the relatively basic Garmins cost $200-300), but if you're an outdoor athlete, they're worth the premium.

A typical Garmin watch has better GPS accuracy than an Apple Watch (US and Russian geosat networks), mobile alerts if you really want them (but no reply functionality), music player controls, camera controls (for Garmin cameras), and multiple dedicated specialty sensors. The newer low-end watches (ending in 5, i.e., 235) and the higher-end watches have best-in-class wrist heart-rate monitors that are accurate to within 2 beats of chest-based straps even on dark-skinned individuals.

Almost all Garmins, except the new activity trackers, are "water-proof" and can be used in most water-based activities except for SCUBA diving (which voids the warranty since they're not rated for those depths).

Oh, and they literally last for 2 weeks on a single charge for normal watch use, or roughly 8-24 hours with GPS in constant use, depending on the model. My Garmin Fenix 3 lasted through a 16 hour hike with battery to spare, and that's before I even tried using the battery-saving features. (My biggest issue with the battery is remembering to charge the watch because I need to do so infrequently that it's not an ingrained habit.)

In another comment I noted some of the problems my friends had with their earlier-model iWatches. Basically: bad GPS, poor battery life (in many cases dying before the end of a marathon, i.e., <5 hours), essentially unusable during sweaty activities or during water-based activities due to the poor touchscreen functionality.

That is true, and it is a problem that each and every single human being has had to deal with since the beginning of time. It was worse in the past, actually, because the people saying mean things to you were right there and could actually DO things to you in addition to simply espousing ideas or opinions you found offensive! That's why people always taught children to respond with "sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me."

That's not an absolution of bullies, and people who interpret it that way are morons. It's a mantra. It is to teach a child that THEY have the control over whether those words hurt them, not the person saying them. By default, yes, we have mirror neurons and we are profoundly social. It evolved to perfectly fit our society of nomads travelling in tribes across a plentiful landscape, where anyone deigning to take control of others would simply be left behind as the tribe walks over the next hill. Wait, we don't LIVE in that type of society any longer. Which makes those evolutionary traits sub-optimal at best and downright dangerous at worst. I'd go with dangerous given the negative impact of cortisol and other stress hormones. Keeping them in check is a burden the modern world puts on us all.
Maybe a high percentage of young people go into a supermarket and are overwhelmed. Supermarkets need employees to tell people what can be done with the food they find on the shelves to remain relevant and buying a pre-packaged fresh mailed to you food company is trying to fix a symptom of that actual problem.

> Politicians should start Patreon campaigns to get livable wages from supporters and then just execute on what they stand for.

if somebody dangles 6-7 figure checks in front of many people, those people will find that their former concept of "livable wage" has suddenly been revised upwards.

If a politician is honest they can be honest within the lobbying framework or outside of it, the issue I think is making it so a honest politician with no access to extra funds can compete on issues against a well funded opponent (meaning getting people to know who they are without having to buy tons of ads): this can only happen if election campaigns are extremely regulated.

Doing that would mean things like no ads for anybody ever, only exposure via live debates, fixed identical travel schedule for everybody with access to the same rallies in terms of facilities etc. etc.

Even with all of this I am not sure it would work in the current social-media society, because as things stand now if you are well funded you could easily drown your opponent(s) on social media just by buying comments/influence and regulating those seems pretty much impossible (how do you distinguish between a genuine groundswell of support and a paid-for one?)
Reminds me of Andres Duany's presentation to San Diego local government officials[1]. It's very funny and very informative.

Ask HN: How do you handle multiple side projects/ideas?
I'm currently burdened with passion for multiple ideas at once - all have been started in one way or another. I've always been a strong believer that people can't really work on multiple things at once. That, to succeed, you need to put all of your energy into one thing.

I have a lot of trouble actually doing this, though. When I think of something, and truly believe in it, I start it. Once I start something, I have to finish or it will haunt me until I do.

I currently have 3 projects running right now in development phase, all of which are very complicated and require 100% of my attention.

Does anyone else have this issue? How do you approach it and convince yourself to scrap all but one? I'm going mad! :p
