If he just continues on and loses one or more stars then, no matter how public he is about the restaurant's change of direction, it will be widely regarded as a demotion. Opening a second, more informal eatery might not appeal to him for any number of valid reasons.

It seems reasonably clear that the ongoing cost in terms of anxiety and, to some extent, the freedom to change or loosen up things is simply not worth the accolade to him anymore. The article states: "because of the huge pressure of being judged on every dish he serves... and the anxiety over Michelin’s anonymous food judges, who could arrive at his restaurant at any moment... “You’re inspected two or three times a year, you never know when. Every meal that goes out could be inspected. That means that, every day, one of the 500 meals that leaves the kitchen could be judged. “Maybe I will be less famous but I accept that,” he said, adding that he would continue to cook excellent local produce “without wondering whether my creations will appeal to Michelin’s inspectors”."

So, he's quitting on his own terms. Assuming it's not a rash decision borne from burn-out or some temporary phase or state of mind then I think it's admirable.
NYTimes: Amazon ‘Reviewing’ Its Website After It Suggested Bomb-Making Items
Looks like I live in a not so bad place afterall

In Italy we have 28 days off plus national holidays

Mortgage are cheap as in other European countries and if you avoid the city center you can buy a very decent apartment for less than 250k

20km from city center you can buy a villa for the same amount

Rents are generally a bit high in larger cities (Rome, Milan, Bologna)

Salaries in tech are not that great, but there's little if no competition, if you're good you can find good deals

Banks and insurances are investing in innovation and new technologies

You get to live the Italian life style

CONS

Nobody is actually investing a lot in Italy, roughly 150.000 people are leaving every year

That leaves a lot of jobs vacant but it can't honestly be considered a plus

It's not yet a startup ready country, things are changing, but it'll take time
That sounds ridiculously cynical and half-arsed to me.

This accomplishes nothing.
You don't deserve the downvotes but, honestly, it's a pretty techie view of the world in which everything everywhere should have a zillion customizable settings to tweak and tune every aspect of interactions/user experience.

1. Priceline (this includes Booking.com, Kayak, Agoda, and others).

2. Expedia (includes Hotels.com, trivago, and others).

3. Smaller aggregators (such as lastminute.com).

4. Booking directly.

The dark patterns described in the blog post are used by everyone, including many hotels themselves, so you're never going to avoid them.
so it make absolute sense to leave in that case.

That's one way to look it at it. Another is to take the result and say there is no clear majority either way, and since there is no clear public majority for either option it should be up parliament to decide since that's their job.
I'd say so. Imagine a worm which could spread itself to any phone within WiFi signal range. I'd guess at a worm like that covering a whole city at a really rapid pace. If you're stuck with infecting networks then the main transmission vectors would be offices, homes and cafes/restaurants etc. I think it would be much slower and much less far reaching.

> Why is it a shame about Apple's direction?

Because it's too easy when you see a company that once dominated this space with Jobs' legacy.

It's easy to be the good guy. It's morally reprehensible even to advertise yourself as such. Jobs' legacy of thinking differently has been recently misapplied with idiotic decisions like no headphone jacks, removal of fn keys, removal of magsafe power etc.

It would seem that the "innovation department" Apple would rather settle for difference BY DEFAULT.

That's the shame.

Or a paper wallet, which is free, although it involves jumping through some extra hoops.

Here's the steps the steps commonly advised for Ethereum (also works for storing ERC-20 tokens):

Look up "My Ether Wallet" (be extremely paranoid and treble check the URL so you don't get scammed with a fake duplicate website). If you follow the steps below, your wallet is as hack-proof as a Nano/Trezor (just store the paper wallet securely, because it's the same as cash when the wallet is loaded with Ether).

1. Create an offline MEW wallet, on a secure PC not connected to the internet (e.g. boot Linux ISO from a read only DVD)

2. Print out the wallet details (will have the private key, a QR code for the wallet address, and another QR code for the private key).

3. Send a small amount of Ether to test that you have the correct details (if you bought on Coinbase, use their app to scan the QR code of the paper wallet). The Ether should show up in the wallet within a few seconds (use etherscan.io to check your new address).

4. If the test went ok, send the remaining Ether from Coinbase -> MEW.

5. (Optional) Backup a digital copy of the MEW wallet on a clean USB, that you exclusively use for that purpose. Store the wallet details in a password manager on the USB, e.g. KeePass, Keeweb, (any open source password manager that is kdbx compliant). This is convenient for when you wish to do transfers. Make sure you don't accidentally copy these details to another PC, upload them online somehow, etc.

A lot of (the initial, e.g. Belgium / France / etc) EU countries haven't even figured out how to deal with a potential increase of interest rates, let alone pensions. And even with declining interest expenses, they're running (ever increasing) structural deficits.

The only advantage that the US has over the rest of the world is that generally the dollar is still seen as the global reserve currency, meaning demand will at least be there for various reasons.

I've generally not been a big believer in cryptocurrencies, but perhaps Bitcoin could be a decent store of value if the world stays hooked on things like QE and the likes.

> The last election for the POTUS had the declared winner elected by an overall loss of 3mm votes.

Well, one way to address the problem of the tyranny of the majority is to make minority rule plausible. :b

> to say that that you require a "supermajority" in most western countries isn't strictly true.

A supermajority isn't necessary for many things; a plurality will do for a lot of operations, including becoming POTUS. But in the US there's also some legal concepts that you can only do away with via a supermajority and one spread out over different branches of government at that. Doing away with any of the bill of rights is not happening with a plurality in an election.... because the US already is a republic with a democratically elected representative government based on rule of law set down in a constitution that can't be changed without supermajority buy-in.

Most western democracies that I'm familiar with have some similar sets of principles that aren't up for democratic election (at least, according to the stated rules of the governance game -- unofficially, any principle is always vulnerable to contention and falling out of value, that's a reality of governing human beings, not a flaw in a system of government).

Designing good controls for the web is really hard. Spend 10 minutes testing any set of well known components, and you will find multiple bugs (especially if you know how to exercise the parts that are hard to get right).

Virtually every calendar control for booking a date range sucks. Airlines, Airbnb, hotels, whatever.

Having someone work full time on making an intuitive calendar control makes sense to me, and I personally have spent months on single components, and we are just a tiny company...

I did get chills when listening to specific songs when I was in my 20s. Now 37 I havent really had it happen to me since.

Funnily enough, it was a song from the swedish band Kent. Which some say is inspired from radiohead. And a radiohead song was used as an example in the article.

I actually listened to the Radiohead song, and immediately felt it was a bit familiar to the kind of music that used to give me the chills.

There's a (British?) phrase for the general phenomenon, especially with recreational sports: All the gear, no idea.
Technology is only neutral if built to be neutral. People build non-neutral technology all the time, either intentionally or unintentionally.

If you take a huge random data set and train an algorithm off it, the algorithm is going to reflect the biases of the data, even though the algorithm - and the technology used to run the algorithm - is completely neutral in theory. If you accept this as a problem and try to solve it, you're taking an explicit stance of non-neutrality - something is wrong with the output of this algorithm based on my criteria, regardless of whether it is implemented correctly.

For many real-world situations, neutral technology is the opposite of what is required to solve problems. Which is a real bummer, since it means that you have to make difficult decisions in addition to building a good piece of technology.

Governments are already using "neutral" technology to make important decisions about people's lives [1]. But how neutral is it, really, if the data we feed into it for training is biased or incorrect?

If a company is not making money but there are lots of people trying to keep it around it probably means that the company is making money for these people but it's not reflected to the books directly or the payment is due for later time.

It's bit of like building roads that on the books may look like unprofitable venture but the utility they provide makes possible for other businesses to flourish so the roads are kept build and maintained.

Do we really want to see Twitter gone? It's service is invaluable but it feels like they should be state-run or non-profit run or run by a company like Apple that makes it's money from directly selling something to it's users.

First: yes I am absolutely saying that Muslims in Myanmar are not engaged in a vast conscious conspiracy to change the demographics of the country. Yes, different cultural groups can have different fertility rates, but to say that this is an attempt "to take over the country by means of rapid reproduction" is when one crosses the line from making factual demographic observations to genocide-inciting hate speech.

I regret that I couldn't capture the full quote in which the monk analogises Muslims to African Carp (there was no way to pause or rewind the video, and that's the most I could remember with accuracy). He goes on at length about how they are violent, selfish, attack other species as well as their own kind, pollute the ecosystem, are a foreign invasive species, etc. These kind of analogies are designed to dehumanise their subjects, and to lead to an inevitable conclusion: for the health of the ecosystem, invasive foreign species must be eradicated. Of course culling always feels a bit distasteful, but in the long run it's the best thing to do.

This kind of rhetoric puts my hackles up because I've seen it before. In 2001-2002 I lived in Ahmedabad, India, and I saw at point-blank range how these kind of Islamophobic sentiments culminated in the massacre of thousands of innocent Muslims. So it's something that I take very seriously.

(By the way: this isn't a matter of tribal allegiance. I'm ethnically Jewish and my spiritual practice owes more to Buddhism than anything else -- but somehow it's still not difficult to recognise that the Rohingya are human beings, not African Carp. Anybody who says otherwise can fuck the hell off.)

From the blog post announcing they bought Motorola:

> We recently explained how companies including Microsoft and Apple are banding together in anti-competitive patent attacks on Android. The U.S. Department of Justice had to intervene in the results of one recent patent auction to “protect competition and innovation in the open source software community” and it is currently looking into the results of the Nortel auction. Our acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google’s patent portfolio, which will enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies.

Indeed. Do you think it is possible that you are mislabeling yourself? From this thread, I'd say most people would label you a social democrat (and no, not because you reject Ayn Rand).
Using ML/DS to de-anonymize people is very definitely evil.

You'd get different people drawn to politics if it looked like a move up the career ladder.

Imho, I think you got it wrong here.

I don't think you are supposed to make a production RN app out of the bat, by just using 3rd party dependencies.

RN isn't wordpress where someone can employ you and say I want this and that and then you go off install 50 plugins and thats it, your project is completed.

If you are installing a lot of RN 3rd party dependencies for a production environment then you are doing it wrong.

The best thing RN has to offer is being able to write React for parts and write Native code for heavy tasks.

You do need to go down and write your own components natively, sure if someone has done it before and its well maintained and you tested it and works for you then fine use that library, if not then don't install it but make your own.

For js components only components, then again if its very well maintained then use it, but nothing stops you for making the component that works for you.

RN is a bit less work than writing a Native app, but not too far apart. It's not meant to be for webviews and for people that just want to make a complex production app using 3rd party dependencies in very little time.
Its meant for dev teams that JS is their main language but do have someone that has an understanding of native code.

Ask HN: International payroll services
Hi!

As a fairly distributed open source project, our team is spread all across the European Union, some in the US, and some in Canada. So far, most of our team work as contractors/freelancers, but we are investigating employment options.

It looks like what we want is an international payroll service, but that market turns out to be quite annoying to research.

At this point, our team is small but highly distributed. Specifically, we would want to potentially hire one developer per country, in France, Italy, Spain, and the US.

Our company is based in Germany.

HN, do you have recommendations?
I'd say the biggest problem is "fraud". Once you make it accessible for the average person to invest and the sophisticated fraudster to advertise and raise money, what you get is ... ICOs.

IPOs do have fraud but at least it is controlled a lot. To raise capital you need to be a specific person/company and you have a set of responsibility toward your investors.

For ICOs? Not really.
You can do it in Windows with something like glasswire, or on OSX with Little snitch or equivalent.

So whilst it is handy for technical users (who are willing to put in the effort to check all the various processes that make network access) it's not likely to work well for the wider user population

lol

Booking.com and AirBnB have different markets: fixed-overhead operations competing on a commodity, and owners selling a unique-experience short-term let. There's some overlap (owner-operated B&Bs), but they're insignificant.

AirBnB's real value is that they created a market, not that they're going to eat hotels. Booking.com will be fine as long as 2+ giant hotel chains exists.
