> How much does it cost to personally transport a car across the pacific ocean to the westcoast of the US/Canada?

It's expensive.

Import duties, plus having to go through the hassle of compliance with US vehicle standards.

At your own peril, you may chose to ignore either or both of these, with the risk of:

Jail, punitive fines, confiscation of your illegally imported vehicle, and basically be on every federal criminal importation watch list imaginable.
D500 owner. Clearly the original post was directed at the high end and reads much like first world problems and to the extent that much of his wish list is not on all cameras can be attributed to profit margins.

I agree with the raw stuff and perhaps the focus as well (though what he asks is just a function of modern day laziness).

I disagree with the wifi and usb issues. I can count how many times I have used wifi. And only at home. Really do not want to be having to set up wifi access at every location, do not want the security risk of wifi, and most imporant - do not want the battery drain of wifi.

As to USB - give it a couple years and the usb connections will be type C. Camera companies are very conservative and won't punt on the traditional until they are certain it won't be a hardship. USB 3.0 is already available on the d500 and d850.

The d500 and d850 for sure have UHS-II, I'm sure similar Canon models do as well.

Which brings up another point - I don't transfer files over USB either. For the most part, I take the card out and use a reader with laptop or desktop. The USB is nice to have when using other equipment but I find it no inconvenience to use the card manually.
> No, to be clear, if you add up all the companies using all the CDNs you mention you only get to about 1,000 that are doing so at any meaningful and interesting scale. That's a shame. There should be 100x that. That's what we want to enable.

Emphasis mine.

That's exactly what it looks like to me, more so when I look at it in context with the rest of the comment they made?
Is there any documentation?

This looks like it might be good, but I don't know how to tell whether it is. The "Codemap" is just links to repo directories. The "Abseil Introduction" link leads to basically to another version of the README. It does have an "Abseil C++ Quickstart" link, which tells you how to get the package, but doesn't tell you what's in it.

I see things about design philosophy, compatibility, etc. But what about: what functions can I call, what do they do, and how do I call them?

Is there any way to find out what's in this thing, other than reading source files?

Stocks have underlying value even if they could no longer be traded, in other words, non-zero use value, in the form of dividends. What is bitcoin's use value? It doesn't even have commodity applications like gold.
yes! this is actually something that i'm slowly hacking away at... and you've described the architecture pretty well!

https://www.heropunch.io/roadmap.html#finally-relax

site still has a few bugs (it isn't officially "out" yet, but its topical so why not).

the sandbox VM is a docker container with a standard interface for storage (relax/vfs), display (wayland), messaging (relax/pub).

vfs supports torrents and partial replication, so you're pretty much always streaming. we try to cache things to keep it fast, but different systems have different storage limits so we have to assume that we're always going to be fetching from the network.

applications can actually consist of multiple docker containers with different capabilities that can be scheduled on any host that has been paired with your user key. these can be updated individually or in tandem.

docker registries have to be explicitly trusted before you can run anything. we realize that docker isn't a security boundary by default, but we are attacking that problem from a few angles.

we implement a lot of this functionality as docker engine plugins. so you get anon overlay routing and distributed storage transparently from the perspective of the application.
>And what about saying "bless you?"

correct answer to that is "not in your lifetime" (from the joke about a very old very rich grandpa who sneezes and his relatives :)

Careful. The top venture investors are also disproportionately likely to back only companies with a clear argument for a billion dollar valuation. That argument is accompanied by commensurate risk. The VC doesn't care that the startup is far more likely than not to fail; failure is accounted for in their portfolio math. But you might!

Depending on the structure of your comp package, the interests of the top investors are not necessarily aligned with those of a software developer.
Sure, he and his wife clearly worked for what they have. Doesn't mean there isn't survivor bias (luck) and privilege at work. For example, anybody who can pay for their own college from jobs they worked as a teenager is privileged.

Take a look at his own story: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/04/08/mr-money-mustaches...

He doesn't say he grew up in a family without a ton of money. He grew up in a frugal family. In Canada, with a number of social support systems that simply don't exist elsewhere. He could attend a local University on his teenager job savings and had a good job waiting for him upon graduation. He and his wife found a fixer-upper they could afford to fix up. And so on. These aren't things that happen to or for most people. The suggestion that his experience generalizes is terrible.

Got it. I first thought you wanted that content to disappear altogether. Thanks for clarifying.
I would also add that hiring people seem to think you are always supposed to hire people away from other jobs. And they think they are supposed to contact you, and if you contact them instead, they don't quite know what to do about it.

OK, maybe that last claim is a little exaggerated, but it seems like that's not how the hiring pipeline is supposed to work, and as a consequence, the process doesn't run as smoothly.
Any decade now...
Software? I don't care so much. You want new stuff, buy it. I've had to explain to clients that the internet is a living ecosystem of standards and protocols, and when old, insecure protocols die off (often because they're insecure) and are banned (say in newer iOS versions), you have to upgrade from your shitty Windows 2003 server running Exchange 2003 because that's why your iPhones won't connect anymore. I had to break it down because most big whig types don't understand that even though "I haven't changed anything" doesn't mean it can't break when the other products across the internet DO change.

Now DRIVERS? I've gone out of my way to NEVER buy a Creative Labs product anymore (not that it matters these days) because they refused to update their drivers for my expensive soundcards for operating systems that came out RIGHT AFTER the card release date. Like, "Vista only" when Windows 7 is out. You guys can go to hell if you think I'm gonna buy another product with a usable lifetime of 6-months.
> ...the first filter...

Yeah, sending resumes to a web portal is basically a shot in the dark because of that "first filter". If you can find a way around that you get more hits.

Like the article says, older folks fare better if they exercise their professional networks. Actually, that works good for young people too.
I think your comment is underrated, and hopefully doesn't go unnoticed. You aren't the first one to say it, either.

As a whole the experience people are trying to explain is far closer to A Brave New World. The US government isn't doing this. (though it's currently trying to with Trump's "Real News"[0] and constant dismissal of heritage journalism outlets)

This is the after effects of being sedated and corralled and along the path to the end-game of saturated materialism, if it's anything at all.

I'm not so convinced. I think both Orwell and Huxley were brilliant guys, but they had nowhere near the full picture. Present reality is far too complex to tie it up in a little bow and designate an overarching bad guy.

> You would be crazy to write a UI-heavy app in rust. (note: I'm talking about high level DOM-like manipulation, not about rendering engines)

I think the jury is still out on that one. I agree with the current state of things but the potential to ease and facilitate this is tremendous through the use of syntax extensions (procedural macros) which can dramatically simplify that use case. In general I think procedural macros add a _lot_ of versatility/flexibility to the language. I anticipate that there will be a huge boom in that area once they stabilize, and it will catch many people by surprise.

An example of the versatility that they enable is the work-in-progress async/await [0], whereas in other languages they would usually have to be implemented in the language itself. Note that this does not preclude their implementation in the language itself, but since it's a work-in-progress they're able to experiment with them without having to implement them in the language from the beginning.

According to wikipedia:

> The decentralization aspects of the protocol reside in the theoretical support of any identity provider service, while in practice it seems to rely mainly on Mozilla's servers currently

So we'd be putting all our eggs into Mozilla's basket, and we'd be screwed if they got hacked.

There are also websites that do not use email addresses as identity, HN for instance.

They said in the keynote the chance a random person could unlock your phone with FaceID is 1 in a million.
Very possible since this is a managed account. I am terrified of doing anything in the stock market, unfortunately.
But they admitted that was a scary thing and prompted discussion about said slippery slope. Seems quite responsible to me.
Which recent app would that be? My understanding is that v4 was originally released in 2014.

Either way: no. Your product supports a platform, you update it to be compatible. If you don't want to support the new version, that's your choice.
I've had a remarkably difficult time getting this kind of thing to register when I try to take screenshots -- probably an issue with my case? -- so it is probably worthwhile to practice doing this ahead of time.
Someone getting a credit card from Wells Fargo under my name has nothing to do with me.

All it is is fraud. Someone defrauded a credit issuer. That they opened an account in my name has nothing to do with it - they could just as well had defrauded the bank by claiming to be John Doe. Will the bank blame me for them leaving the barn door open, and the milk out, too?
And the Apple Home? Does Apple has a record of terrible customer relationships?

What's more likely here - That Amazon was worried about customer relationships specifically with the companies Apple & Google, or that Amazon wanted to block competition from it's store to force users to buy Amazon's streaming products?

This is also a far cry from your original assertion that Google was blocking Amazon from developing on chromecast. You seem like you have an axe to grind here - why is that?
Except software engineers are often placed in subordinate roles because "WE WANT ONLY THE BEST". If you aren't given the authority to change the design, caring about it is an unnecessary source of anxiety and stress.
Oh, Microsoft certainly helped sink them, but I'm of the opinion that Netscape was gleefully poking holes in their ship at the same time.

I never did figure out what Communicator actually was meant to do. Someone likened it to ActiveScript (I think that's what it was called, IE's proprietary scripting stuff that required hosting on Windows).

First, I want to say that I have great respect for you and everyone else in the Rust community. It's now my second-favorite language (after Go).

I've been learning Rust over the past months and I don't think the borrow checker stuff is as scary as people make it sound, match is amazing, so are traits, enums, cargo....

But, I can't, for the life of me, wrap my head around Rust's "concurrency" story. Yet.

Go concurrency is as close to trivial as one can get - channels, goroutines, select. That's it. And they compose nicely. I was doing concurrent networking stuff in a matter of days.

Rust has channels, select (kind-of?), but then I discovered it has futures, and something called "mio", and now something called "tokio", also read something about generators and coroutines, saw that C#-like "async/await" stuff is also being worked on, and I'm not sure how these things interact with each other.

I get the .NET async/await story, and always felt it was (good) syntactic sugar on top of "raw" JS-style futures, but how do all of them play with the CSP-style stuff like channels that's in the std. lib already? Is one being deprecated?

I feel in general Go's CSP model is more "powerful" and more "generic" than futures - you can even emulate futures/promises with Go's primitives, but I don't see how you can do what I do in Go with bare futures - "streaming" type stuff is especially hard with the futures' "all-or-nothing" approach.

I think Rust really nailed down the "one-thing-at-a-time" story - the docs, tutorials - all great. But for me it broke down quickly on the "easy concurrency" end - and maybe it's just a question of better tutorials/docs?
If you use an opaque machine learning technique to detect fraud, for the purposes of probity some kind of "parallel construction" could be employed to give a public exlanation; it's surely important to explain and justify to the humans involved. The analogy is with the person of a particular ethnicity who is always getting pulled over by the cops. This must be made transparent.
The article implicitly conflates salary with age. In the case of hiring or layoff, this is often the focus, not the person. I'd like to see this discussed, even if age and the inevitable salary increase over career are inseparable.
Repeating myself: you want more than the binary answer. You want to know the company's number. What's their revenue target this year? Do they generally hit targets? Is this the first year they've actually had a cash money target?

Unlike runway and percentage ownership questions, which you are always entitled to, companies can be justifiably squirmy about providing these numbers to candidates. If so, can you get a commitment to get the numbers once you accept an offer? With that commitment in hand, can you talk in generalities about their numbers? Do they have targets? Does everyone know what they are? Do they change often? What happens when they miss?

We talk a lot on HN about cap table questions, but not so much about the nuts and bolts questions of what makes a business successful or not. I'd start with those before getting to the equity numbers, as they'll inform a lot of your negotiating position. "How much risk am I taking? How critical is my role to the performance of the company? How sensitive is the company likely to be to performance, including mine, in the next 9 months?"

I'd be really hesitant to take a job at a company that (a) should at this point be thinking in terms of revenue rather than metrics but isn't, and (b) has a number that management knows about but rank-and-file employees don't.

It is very likely in the next 12 - 24 months time, every Smartphone shipped will have paid the HEVC patents. So while the PC industry may be a little different, all mobile phone will have HEVC support soon.

Now whether the software for HELF support will catch up is another question.
That sounds like a cool feature, but probably applicable to 0.0001% of the population. Think of all the work app developers would need to do to make their app "duress compatible" in the very rare chance someone is being held at gunpoint and the person is asking to see their emails.
Agreed. The Alpha software reeks of "design by committee" for the entire mass of camera users to allow anything to be controlled with equal weight. It's a major problem.
Check out www.enterpriseready.io to get a deep understanding of the standard features that enterprises require (ie SSO, RBAC, audit logs, on-prem deployment, reporting etc). Happy to talk through any of the features, I contributed about 80% of the content. We also built Replicated.com which powers the on-prem delivery for other applications like Travis CI, npm, CodeClimate, Circle CI and a bunch of others. We think about these problems all the time and how we can best help solve them. Happy to share what we've learned there as well.

I feel lucky that the stuff I pursued independently in my 20s (but wasn't paid to work on) has started to become more professionally relevant in my 30s.

My natural inclination is to double down on those things (e.g. ML, Actor Systems, FPGAs) and allow myself to be excited about finally working on what I find interesting, but I worry that I might be missing out on up and coming ideas while even those skills gradually become commoditized or outdated.

Identical twins aren't identical down to every last detail. What I'm curious about is if Face ID can pick up on any details that are different that humans wouldn't notice.

Also regarding the "evil twin" thing, evil twins came from another dimension so, aside from the goatee, they really were literally identical down to every last detail. It's unclear to me if that joke was meant as "your identical twin will be able to unlock your phone, so hopefully they aren't evil", or was just meant as "someone who looks like you might be able to unlock your phone". Probably a bit of both. But this is why I want to know what the actual probability is that an identical twin can unlock the phone. Maybe it really is 1 : 1, but maybe it's not.

Absolutely. Some people definitely do have it a bit harder than other people. But, outside of medical/mental issues, or just a stream of bad luck, people generally make it harder on themselves due to certain choices in their life.

My parents came to America without a dollar in their pockets. My dad's income was running a convenience store which barely made enough to pay his bills. So both parents worked, effectively minimum wage jobs, and saved for years so they could build their dream home and send their children to college.

We never went out to eat, rarely went on vacation, and parents don't drink. So, they were able to fulfill their dreams.

When people say they want to own a house, but are unwilling to find a cheaper location, stop drinking, stop eating out, drive older beat-up cars, well, then they've made their choice. The system has its issues, but no one deserves anything, and the system is not the problem here.

Can you expand on your process for using TLA+ in web development?
The reasons are complex.

Younger people really are faster and have more "energy". On a certain level this is just basic biophysics.

Particularly the kind of "energy" most immediately associated with the modern dev grind (i.e. to work long hours, and pick up toolkit X at the drop of a hat, etc). And you know, to just "believe" (in your company's mission; in whatever your stack is made out of this particular microsecond; in "Agile", or whatever).

None of which I'm knocking. A lot of times I feel I could still use that kind of energy.

But there are other kind of "energy" - e.g. the energy to resist learning too much about toolkit X (very likely to be obsoleted within 3 years). Or to get to wrapped up the latest architecture "debate". Or for that matter, in your company's "mission" (before it's at least halfway baked). Or, when people in your company start bragging about how many hours they "work", how no one really takes vacations and all... the energy to speak the intuitive and well-documented truth about where that strategy inevitably leads.

Both kinds of energy are needed. They aren't opposites; they're parts of a larger (necessary) whole.

The mistake lies in thinking that only one kind of energy is valid and sufficient to get your "mission" off the ground.

That's the whole basis of social science. As much as HN shits on social science for being unverifiable, the entire point of the domain is that some things (namely, economic understanding) are not verifiable through observation and comparison.
The only way to really understand potential impacts are through economic concepts and modelling. Sure, there is plenty of bias thrown in, but there's also a million different economic models to choose from. There's a lot of noise, and it actually takes specialized knowledge and domain expertise to wade through all of it. I don't get why there's the misapprehension that economics is inherently intuitive.
