If you're riding hybrid or electro, you should be already fitting it.
If you want to work on a refrigeration system that uses R-134a, there are all sorts of laws about properly collecting and disposing of it, not just venting it into the atmosphere, etc.

But if it's not used as a refrigerant, the exact same substance is labeled as HFC-134a. This is what is in most of those "compressed air" duster cans.
I think I'm not the only who wished Tree Style Tabs was integrated as a default feature of Firefox. It's a primordial configuration to your browsing experience but it's been constantly stabbed and fixed at every update of Firefox.
Retirement is a bad word choice. In this case maybe it's better to blur the subtle distinction between retiring and resigning. At least appear contrite.
That seems more a failure on LastPass's part than Firefox's.

I say this as a LastPass user, they clearly don't give a rat's ass. They've known about the WebExtension requirement for, what, a year now? Somehow they're among the first apps to support Android Oreo's autofill API, yet they can't be bothered to update their Firefox extension.

It's a real pity. I like LastPass. I pay for it. I use their Secure Notes feature ALOT. But I may still have to switch if they can't get their act together.
Looking just at the installed capacity isn't a great way, if you do not control for overall area. Better to compare the relative space dedicated to cars, trains and bikes.

Couldn't find data for Stockholm, but here is a NY-Copenhagen comparison: black lines are the relative NYC allocation spaces, orange bars is Copenhagen. Relatively speaking, Copenhagen has much more biking space: https://whatthestreet.moovellab.com/newyork/results?bike=0.1...

Hi folks!

Fanout founder here. Though we've been around for years, we are excited to finally submit our root URL on HN!

If the name seems familiar, it could be because you've seen our blog posts or the Pushpin open source project. Fanout is the company behind Pushpin, and we monetize it as part of a cloud service, effectively a "push CDN". Our goal is to become the Akamai of data push.

For some history, here are the other two Fanout submissions that have been made:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7567417 (TechCrunch article when we went public beta, 2014)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3701703 (Tell HN, no URL, 2012)

As a Show HN, this post is about everything we've built since that ancient Tell HN. We hope you find Fanout intriguing and we look forward to any and all feedback.

If you want to get right into it, here's the dev guide: https://fanout.io/docs/devguide.html
I'm using VCS for some time now (and was at the time of the previous comment), but it's still slow when compared. They did a great job and left Atom (I ment Atom when I said Code, lol) behind, but there is still a huge room for improvement.
ChexSystems does not have salary information. They contain information on bank accounts that have been overdrawn, bad checks, and checkbook orders. They also contain information on accounts in good standing, and the usual information like aliases, addresses, SSNs, and driver license numbers.

Lexis Nexis long since moved beyond newspaper and courthouse archiving. They have dozens of intelligence products and databases aimed at marketing, debt collection, private investigators, and law enforcement. They collect massive personal consumer (and business) data, including retail purchases and returns, and salaries, and associate it in a Facebook-style graph, loosely associated with SSN and DL#.
It's already possible to chain subreddit just add a + between the names in the url or use the search.

High-output of research papers from China is not surprising at all: considering they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per paper published in a prestigious journal[1].

Actually the article points to the fact that other studies have shown that bikes have either no effect, or improve traffic speeds, because one of the biggest misconceptions in traffic planning is the solution is to increase roadways, when in reality, the answer is usually to reduce.

Actual relevant reasons may be the growth of Uber, the change of speed limits, and/or the increase in population.
I was planning to create an account to try, but if these will be the color - I think I am good with pen & paper.
Is the idea here that they'll just keep switching out pieces written in C++ for Rust until all of Firefox is Rust, rather than launching a new product?
So how would you have proposed changing behaviour on a massive scale?
Hi. Afraid I don't have time to dig into the actual behavior of this myself, but I do have links to a number of articles on optimizing React perf at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master... .

Maybe he doesn't need to attract people who haven't heard of his software before because his software is literally the default for data science. It's like complaining that someone didn't define what jQuery is.

Idea: The Histogram as the Image (2007)
The going stereotype about Tinder is that most men (all but the most attractive) match poorly while most women (all but the least attractive) match well - but that (again, most) women nonetheless experience a lack of communication post-match.
Erm ... Well, I admit it's somewhat confusing.

factor(x = character(), levels, labels = levels, exclude = NA, ordered = is.ordered(x), nmax = NA)

[...]

levels
: an optional vector of the values (as character strings) that x might
have taken. The default is the unique set of values taken by
as.character(x), sorted into increasing order of x. Note that this set
can be specified as smaller than sort(unique(x)).

labels
: either an optional character vector of (unique) labels for the
levels (in the same order as levels after removing those in exclude), or
a character string of length 1.

This way, you can do something like that:

> x <- 1:3
> factor(x, levels = 1:2, labels = c("foo", "bar"))
[1] foo bar <NA>
Levels: foo bar

But this actually is:

> factor(as.character(x), levels = c("1", "2"), labels = c("foo", "bar"))
[1] foo bar <NA>
Levels: foo bar
Uber's License Woes – Round 1 TfL
Still no live javascript editing, like Chrome scripts tab? This is a major setdown that prevents me from using Firefox. Chrome has that since so many years that I can't believe Firefox still hasn't got it.

I think the latest Firefox releases are fast and good as browsers.. but as a developer, that's a showstopper.

As I understand it traffic has gotten demonstrably worse in NYC over the past few years at least in part because there are so many cars on the road driving for Uber et al: http://nyc.streetsblog.org/2017/02/27/its-settled-uber-is-ma...

There have been some pedestrian safety changes made in Manhattan but traffic is really the biggest impediment. Most cars are moving less than the speed limit much of the day because of all the traffic.
NYC is not a bike friendly city at all (some parts of certain boroughs might be). Biking in NYC is also a quick ticket to ER room. I have already eye witnessed multiple altercations and accidents of bicyclists in this city. Scary.
Great worksheet. I really like to hear your feedback on what I can do to the app to make it be able to replace the pen and paper.

Last time I tried I was still unable to create the file '.gitignore' on Windows 10 using the file browser. It insisted that I enter a file name and did not consider '.gitignore' an acceptable file name. It is possible to create that file using other tools such as an editor so it's a user interface shortcoming and not a filesystem shortcoming.
ChexSystem is bank accounts and contains very, very little information compared to credit bureaus. Just accounts you've opened (and attempted to open) recently and any negative information. You can (and should) request your report here: https://www.chexsystems.com/web/chexsystems/consumerdebit/pa...

Early Warning, however, contains way, way more information about bank accounts. It lists most of your accounts plus dates opened, dates closed, and other stuff. (I don't have my report on hand, so I'm going from memory) You can (and should) request your report here: https://www.earlywarning.com/consumer-information.html#instr...

I request both every year. (Because I churn bank account bonuses)

LexisNexis has a whole crapload of consumer reports. The big one is the CLUE report on insurance claims. They have employment databases as well and probably others, I'm not as familiar with them. You can request a copy of your CLUE report here: https://personalreports.lexisnexis.com/fact_act_disclosure.j...

I have to admit, I've never requested my CLUE report.

I've mentioned this in another comment but there's actually two more credit bureaus, SageStream (request report here: https://www.sagestreamllc.com/consumer-report/) and Innovis (request report here: https://www.innovis.com/personal/creditReport) I've never requested either myself but I am in the process of requesting both right now.
Wow. Wow. Wow.

Did they sell your house or do you still have it?
It is - but anyone who thinks that it can be solved right now for all eternity is a fool - all we can do it keep it stable for 500 years (which is doable) and then let our descendants figure it out from there.
Ah, I assumed you read the article. So sorry..

Good? Bad? It's just... a thing from that era. Another go-round of "I know, if it reads like English, it'll be easy to use", which in the present day manifests itself in stuff like Cucumber.
It doesn't happen more often because in an environment like that, the mere threat is enough.
So that benchmark video I assume shows loading from local disk (because if network then not a fair benchmark)? If that’s the case, most websites seem to take 8+ seconds and often around 30? Doesn’t this seem insane? It also doesn’t seem to match my daily experience but I’m not using a stopwatch.

Yes, so given this, do you (i.e., people optimistic about AI) believe that computer programs will be able to generate meaningful, novel computer programs, given that even the most cursory subproblem is impossible? Obviously I don't just mean metaprogramming, but the sorts of things people want artificial intelligence to be able to do, the singularity and so forth.
If the intentions behind doing this weren't derived from anti-car sentiments

New York City isn't nearly anti-car enough! It's the only place in the U.S. that has any chance of reclaiming its streets for pedestrians and it should absolutely do so. Those who like to drive can choose literally any other U.S. city and, without exception, it'll cater to that preference.

But New York City should be implementing all kinds of car-hostile policies, including an all-out ban on private vehicles in some parts of Manhattan.
There are multiple; I forget which one is "real" WebRender and I'm on my phone so I can't check.

Last I was looking at this, the big WebRender flag wasn't expected to be faster due to the specific way it was integrated, you need the more aggressive setting to get pure WebRender.
I agree with you but I would suggest that texts with thin fonts and low contrast are always a bad idea.

They def. don't care about Tree Style Tabs which is the reason number one a lot of people use Firefox.
That looks like a nice way to add support for other libraries or optimize certain operations. But I'm more interested in a comparison between dynamic languages for quickly writing game logic. It's a pattern that seems fairly common (e.g. with Lua or Python bolted onto C/C++) and Godot's implementation of that idea is very unusual. They claim benefits for it, I'm curious if those benefits actually pay off in some quantitative fashion.
Thanks for mentioning Bitwarden. I didn't know about them, but I've had the same concerns about Laspass/Logmein. Yubikey functionality is important to me, which many alternatives don't have, but I see Bitwarden does have that. Their GPL v3 license on all of their software is nice to see too.
That is indeed the next feature I'm working on :l

1 pedestrian death by a cyclist in about 8 years.

I’d say that’s pretty good regard for human life.

OTOH, cars kill a pedestrian almost daily in the city. Funny you don’t complain about them.

Also this is despite bike lanes being adjacent to the sidewalk and actually protecting pedestrians from the actually dangerous cars by providing a buffer (pedestrian deaths on avenues which installed bike lanes, such as 2nd and 8th dropped after installation, and in comparison to avenues that did not.)
You must decide for yourself. Remember that the only constant in life is change.
> most bikers observe the traffic laws

Funny, this is the exact opposite view from mine. Just last week I was hit by a bike crossing a street with a walk sign. Those assholes wouldn’t stop for you if you paid them.

Citations? Forget about it. The streets will just get too dangerous for peds and cars.

The majority of bikers I know freely admit, and even take pride in, blowing through stop signs and red lights. “You’re not supposed to stop!”

Ok, go stand in the street and I'll hit you with a bicycle. I can come to the emergency room later and you can tell me how it didn't hurt that much.

> This is why concealed guns are banned in most states

False, by the way. They just require a license... like a car.
I installed that nightly and it really feels fast and modern.

They even got rid of that search bar, haha.

Only fonts and the scroll bars seem a bit old school compared to Chrome.

On the Nintendo Switch there is NVAPI, which provides even more low level control.

Awesome experience, but I do wish you could do some level of sorting.
If you glance over the whitepaper, it's obvious this is a completely ridiculous model. Trying to predict intraday price movements with previous day volume numbers and open interest as features? Please. Also, selling the "model" predictions for $365 a year is the real scam -- if he had any confidence in the model, he'd get a private backer and be trading size out of his own account rather than making $50 bets.

How much employment is generated by all of IT? TCS is the largest employer employing ‎385,809 people as said on the wiki.
Assuming ALL of them are in India. Assuming there are 10 TCS like IT companies, it gets you to 3.85 Million people employed. That's not even a dent in the # people affected by IT living where ever.

Yes, but in VimFx's case it's more a matter of the developer not feeling like it considering Vimium is available, which for me has been a drop-in replacement of VimFx. I just assumed that as you mentioned Vimperator, you wanted the complete, somewhat more invasive, experience.
To be fair, Elon Musk has done a lot while 'manning the desk' for Tesla (he wasn't involved until after he led their Series A round).

It's tough to distinguish who 'created' a company in situations like those — do we define it by the original incorporation papers, or by who had the largest effect on turning the company into what it is today? Where do we draw that line?
Informative, thanks.
Cool idea, but it'd be nice to be able to click on an image to take you back to the comments page for it.
How does everyone feel about Susan Mauldin(Equifax Chief Security Officer) having a music degree?
A bike lane is just paint on a road. Biking in Manhattan is still perilous, because cars and people routinely occupy the parts of the road with that green paint on it. A bike lane is an improvement, I guess, but it's the minimum a city claiming to care about cycling infrastructure can do.
Honestly, just by

• living in an apartment in a city

• eating less meat

• getting to work via bike, walking, public transport, or telecommuting

• using renewably-sourced energy for heating and cooling

a lot of people could cut out the vast majority of their personal emissions and live very comfortably. The above changes also mean far, far less land dedicated to asphalt, which means we can leave more land in its natural state (or rewild it if need be).

It's sad to kill Earth no matter what, but it's especially sad that we're destroying the world not to keep 7 billion people alive, but to keep one or two billion in profound decadence.
Since i would learn more about electronic engineering, someone would advice a nice forum/site for reference?
All urban or exotic problems.

No mention of how people in the rural U.S. are stuck with DSL.
Then perhaps the risk of allowing this kind of business - period - is too great.
Yeah, it does imply a software update or the satellites are upgrading rather than a completely new chip in a new phone.
React Native Game Engine – The Handbook
If the Metropolitan Police write a letter complaining to TfL about Uber's policy of refusing to report certain crimes and obstructionist approach towards police investigations (specifically, refusing to provide information except as formal FOI requests) then this is clear evidence that in the opinion of somebody who has considerably more first hand knowledge of Uber's actions and expertise in police/minicab co-operation than HackerNewsers who like the app, Uber is refusing to report crimes and acting in an obstructionist manner towards police investigations.

What is extremely dishonest is to respond by pretending those claims are an untrue invention of mine, using a line from Uber's press release which in no way refutes the police officer's specific contentions about information not being reported to the police appropriately as justification.

As for changing my mind, I'd probably start with the need to refute that basic prima facie evidence that Uber isn't viewed as respecting a minicab firm's obligations by the relevant police official. You can't really counter that by pointing out circumstantial stuff like them having their own investigation team or passing inspections of how they comply with other regulations, that's not how proof works. And yes, an extraordinary claim like "actually it's the regulators who've repeatedly refrained from using many possible excuses to shut down Uber over the five years it's spent deploying Greyball and suing them over regulations it doesn't want to follow who are the ones most likely to be wilfully misinterpreting the letter and spirit of regulations here" probably needs evidence a little more extraordinary than their self-exculpatory press release.

In the mean time, Uber has taken the uncharacteristic step of apologising and acknowledging they "need to change".
Are you kidding? It's like "Blackberry is better than iPhone once again, finally losing the keyboard".

The main and only distinctive feature of Firefox was programmability (XUL, XPCOM), and now it's gone. There are forks like PaleMoon and Waterfox though but for how long.

Firefox had to take that app-platform niche (thanks to XUL, XPCOM) that now occupies Electron, but failed on that chasing after Chrome.
Interesting about both, thanks. I suppose it's just a matter of time before both of these are compromised. In fact is surprising that they haven't. I wonder if this is just because they aren't as well known as the big 3?
Are these receivers available for drones? (I guess the right question is, where can you get one of these standalone, since diy platforms like mine have separate components)
Thank you. Just reading the headline I thought it might be something about a firmware update, or perhaps new satellites being launched, but no, it's pure clickbait.
I agree with the post except for the feelings part. I don't feel guilty. People try to make me feel guilty, but it doesn't work. That's the problem - nobody is feeling guilty. They look at what they have, they like it, the alternatives sound terrible, so they don't go for the alternatives.

Most of us just aren't buying what you're selling, that's all. From an energy standpoint, we want a certain amount of work done. We don't care if the energy generation is CO2 producing or not. Make it cheaper and more plentiful. We want to live in the future, not the stone age.
