Rent is cheaper in the suburbs, yes, but suburbs have their own costs. For example, you may need to use a car to go places, and car ownership is not cheap.

Various sites (http://www.moneysense.ca/spend/real-estate/city-or-suburbs-w... , https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/life/cost-of-living-in-city-... , https://boomerandecho.com/living-in-the-city-vs-the-suburbs-... ) discuss how sometimes it's cheaper and sometimes it's more expensive to live in the suburbs.

The first two point out other alternatives; the first, "many Canadians are opting for walkable communities that offer nearby shopping, work, transit and amenities. Known in city-planner speak as “complete neighbourhoods,” these walkable neighbourhoods can be found in both urban and suburban settings."; the secondm "you may find a lower cost of living in a small town.".

Personally, I think UBI is more likely to support living in small towns than living in the suburbs. There are many small towns losing population because of people moving to the big cities to find work.
I do feel you can distinguish between a front-end and a back-end developer. Each employ different tooling and mastered different skills. I don't expect a front-end developer to create a database model, or a back-end developer to work with photoshop.

I do expect them to know a little of eachother's work though. My comment was that you don't have to have mastered in Web Development when you have mastered in Java. But at least have some minor skill points invested in the one you didn't master. Think your average RPG: You've master sword, but not magic, and that's fine. But it's nice to have that basic healing spell ready when you just got chopped to pieces in close combat and that spellcaster in your team isn't nearby.
They lose much more than money. Rumors start going around; 99% of the cities in the world aren't THAT big that rumors aren't a thing -- they are. People start distrusting the company, it gets a reputation of "only work there if you're in danger of living on the street", qualified people recommend only their lower-qualified friends (or simply opportunists), etc.

It only goes downhill for these companies and they lack the maturity and intelligence to recognize they brought it upon themselves and maybe start trying to turn things around.

Oh well, screw them.
Okay, please write a proposal for how to select parts of this widget with CSS. Remember, it must be compatible with all major browsers and across all formfactors (mobile, desktop, 10-inch, automotive, etc.). I'll schedule an appointment for a review in 2020, since I don't expect you to be finished earlier than that.
It uses the locale of your Firefox install (which you can select when you download the browser). This isn't configurable within an install (yet).

None of which will really work without direct neural interfacing. And we're probably three or four decades away from that.

Glasses and screens are always going to feel clumsy for AR/MR. The technology would need to shrink/improve by at least one and preferably two orders of magnitude to become unobtrusive, and that's going to be extremely difficult to do.
I agree with this very strongly. I stopped donating to and recommending donations to Wikipedia when my edits were continuously reverted by an alt-right admin. I think we need to start coming up with alternatives, especially considering Wikimedia can't come up with a business model that supports their unnecessarily massive bureaucracy.

Since older rpi models can run NES games, I guess the rpi3 is more powerful than necessary. And if the game you’re playing is running smoothly, why bother? With the consoles, there are no graphics settings.
Of course it won't. Public service providers in particular need to provide compatibility down to the likes of IE 7.
I was not implying cronyism (alone). Human lives are deeply affected by relationships - personal, business, or lack of. For example, what if Jobs had not known Woz? What if Bill Gate's family wasn't super established in the way it was? What if Softdisk had not employed the crew that became Id software? Etc.

This does not mean an individual contributor can't come up with something groundbreaking locked away in some closet. But generally, that is million to one even in a population of over achiever engineers.

The ID number is used to identify us in all the government databases, it's an universal foreign key. If the police want to know my address then they use our x-road to connect to the API of the population registry and call a method to get my address using my ID number. If they want to see what cars I own and if I have done my yearly technical inspection then the use my ID number to get the data needed.

When someone wants a loan or anything like that then we have to show our real ID card or passport, or authenticate on the web with our smartcard and pin. So nobody can do stuff that's possible in the us - apply for credit cards and loans without authenticating properly.
I know many like me, who also just prefers the application language to be in English. From decades of using English I have no idea what many terms are in my native language, native terms are much harder to google, and many applications are also poorly translated. But that doesn't mean I want everything in English, especially not date/time formats.

Quite frankly, I think you give even the average HN user too much credit. We are awash in information and there just is no good method for properly vetting it in a timely manner unless you are prepared to devote a not-insignificant amount of time to doing so, and even reading the material presented past the headline is often asking too much of many readers; how many discussions here have gone on for hundreds of posts for hours as people who just want to get into an argument banter back and forth?

We live in a wonderful age full of lots of information, but we're all pretty poor at sorting it, and the informatoin we do receive tends to be less about informing and more about persuading. I occasionally see the discussion threads from our Marketing/Sales guys and I see the "fightcards" they pass back and forth with highlights for winning out over competing products; while I see the value in a sales situation, I can't help but see many similarities in think pieces and the fightcards, in that they don't aim to provide deep and indepth information on any particular subject, they're meant to be highly persuasive towards a specific idea while diminishing another. I understand this in a competitive sales situation, I suppose - you're more or less fighting memes and myths from someone else, so you fight back with the same since the audience doesn't understand the raw data anyways, or the raw data is incredibly subjective. But for Thinktanks or other such outlets, I think this is an incredibly dishonest way of discussing and presenting information, regardless of the source behind it. Infographics, ByTheNumbers, AtAGlance, all such methods are just coy tricks to avoid actual data and instead present an opinion as fact. We see it with various news media too where the authors conflate the number of references with validity, and you end up with news blogs where every other word is referenced or a link to a reference, and the references often contain so much information there's no reasonable way you could validate even one of them in time before the article has taken off as viral.

We are drowning in information and poor information sharing in general - even when you have the cognizance to know to check things like the history behind how a piece of information was assembled, there often is just too much data for any one person to sort effectively, and tracing such data to a reliable source is darn near impossible.

Our major media outlets failed us the moment they decided to try competing with clickbait headlines and rapid, poorly researched stories, and we failed them when we started falling for it hook, line, and sinker. Media outlets should be on the ball with cameras and people and concise reporting, but the actual information should be the result of slow, intentional, cumbersome, and concretrated effort. We luckily still see this a lot from magazines, luckily enough, but the rest is pretty dire.

There are so many lines in the post series that don't make very much sense if you understand the YC program.

> We'd aim to have 4 to 6 developers on the project within the first few weeks, and had a substantial budget to achieve this.

What budget?

> The hiring process began immediately with advertisements going up on social media

As the CTO, would you not be able to contribute more to this project?

> One of the huge benefits of the YC program is the ability to experiment with scaling ideas.

Talking about looking into scaling before having anything usable or users? Time would have been spent better actually building a prototype to prove the concept.

> As the first Demo Day approached, despite being a director and CTO, I was instructed not to attend due to not being part of the initial interview process.

I kind of suspect at this point in the post series, that the author wasn't really a "director" or "CTO".

After reading the lessons in the third post, sounds like the author just jumped at the chance to be part of YC without much knowledge of what he would actually have to contribute.
True. My point is that if you've worked 14 years on a project, I'd like to know what you've done in those 14 years. Did you upgrade your toolchain, did you upgrade your main language version (eg. java 6 to java 8), did you consider webdevelopment and if so why didn't you change (I'm not pushing for web here, I'm just curious why you didn't follow the trend/hype). And what kind of substantial features/improvements did you create in those 14 years? Or did you only modify existing screens based on business specs?

Java didn't really evolve in the desktop development environment. We would still create Swing applications.

Transpile comes from transcompile, (nicely defined as source-to-source compiling), which refers to a subset of compiling. It's a perfectly valid term from the 80s. (I've answered this so many times, I don't care to look through my history for the sources. Feel free to.)

You're fine to get upset when people say transpiling isn't compiling.

But getting upset that people use a more specific term than you are, is verging on the overly-pedantic, and isn't going to win you any friends on the other side of the fence.

Hi there,
(a) We support payouts till INR 10,000,000.
(b) We don't handle overseas transfers currently. Payouts can be sent to any bank account in India. If you are a overseas business and have a entity registered in India, then we can onboard you at our platform for payout services.

Reach out to us at care@gocashfree.com or leave your email, we will get in touch.
That's why they should have written the controls in Javascript and put it on their CDN, or include it in the browser distribution. Then using the controls would only require a simple include in the head of the document, and you could style the controls just like any other HTML.
The government already knows a lot about you, doesn't matter if you live in the US or Estonia or Germany. Having an ID number doesn't enable the government to spy even more on it's citizens.

The ID card and id number make it safer than the alternatives.
Why do you need to be able to control the look of the date picker (or any other input element)?

If every website used the same, it would be much more convenient than the current situation, where each date picker uses a subtly different mechanism to select the individual fields and then confirm the selected date. Most do not even support keyboard input.
Those are not mutually exclusive. Automation has made flying much safer, but currently, there are edge cases where human could fix issues if they knew what the airplane was doing and were able to take over. This is not an isolated case.
> all the infrastructure be fucked and ATMs don't work

Which is not that far away. A few months ago, in my town, underground workers dug in the wrong place and cut a central internet connection, and ATMs and other cash terminals in the better part of the city center stopped working. I luckily carried enough cash, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do my shopping.
IDK much about magic leap. That said, they do no appear to subscribe to the "ship something and let users drive" school of tech companies.

So first, the financing environment is different than than Generation Google's. By this size, Google had (arguably) the proven-best online ad business, the (inarguably) most impoirtant web page, and a big deal IPO. Magic have that kind of money in stealth mode, with no real reason to speak to the public. Regardless of the "how we build things" philosophy, Google's generation simply could not have got to such a scale before interacting with consumers. There just isn't a precedent because this environment is new.

I think what you're asking is questions that Google's generation would have got (based on previous generations' schools of thought): what is AR's "killer app," the lotus notes to it's personal computer. Before those existed in users' hands, home computers were pitched as ways of organizing personal finances and recipes.

Anyway, I think you're right. The hows and whys of AR becoming important are all very vague. I suppose that most of Magic Leap's pitch (to themselves and investors) is centred on the technology itself, not its application.

The article suggests investors think of them as an intel, not an apple.

Whether or not that's a mistake, it does leave the most interesting (to us) questions still open. What is AR for?
Termux is a great project, may it be for cli lovers, hackers, road warriors ...

However, I have little trust in mobile devices nowadays and I don't feel safe copying private ssh/gpg/vpn/credentials data on them anymore. Planned obsolescence, theft risk, vendor/hardware/firmware issues, general feel of lack of control, ...

As a consequence, I tend to use my smartphone as anonymously as possible, mostly as a camera, an actual phone and 4G modem, tethering via usb/wifi to my laptop. It's simple, it feels safe and obviously it's not as practical.

I'd love postmarketos --or something similar-- to succeed, so I could leverage the privacy/backup strategies I have already set in place on laptops and servers that actually make me feel safe.

> It is important that a Norwegian visitor with a browser configured to prefer en-US [1] would see the entire web page in the same locale. Why should _parts_ of the web page localize to a different locale than other parts?

Completely agree - that should not happen. Consistency is most important. So if a Norwegian user has an en-US browser and the rendering uses this control which uses default browser locale then all date rendering in all markup has to be en-US. That is: this control can't be used on a web site unless the site already uses browser locale for all date input and output.

If the web page already has custom date formatting (e.g. the user chooses locale/format in the site preferences) or if the page has elements rendererd DD.MM.YYYY already from the back end - then this control can't be used.

(Also: TIL Norway doesn't use ISO 8601 like Sweden. I honestly thought ISO 8601 was norm in Europe, but apparently mostly in Sweden).

What if this seperation of government and buisness exist only in your head? What if china was not a government, but a cooperation? Would you even notice?
Would you complain about a cooperation doing a deal with another cooperation?
Or is that thought damaging the reference frame? If a government and cooperation would be the same. The whole artificial antagonistic distinction would break down- and you would just stand there, a ranting peasant in the lower ranks of a pyramid scheme, played to hate the east side of the same pyramid..

As a specific example, best Microsoft's Hololens AR use case demos have been about construction and logistics. Those are not gimmicks invented by marketing but actual use cases that professionals in the field feel would be value adding.

The 'seeing the hidden pipes' is a good example.

Another is facility maintenance. The savings are not insifnificant if you could just guide maintenance teams to the problem spot using HUD navigation, instead of finding the broken gizmo after some search.
GM should be proud of the Bolt and the Volt as well; I own a Volt because it suits my usage needs much better than a pure EV.

However GM is still in the stone ages when it comes to OnStar. You get a short trial and then you are faced with 14.95 and higher per MONTH fees to access their services. Not a problem you say, don't need their navigation in a day of smart phones and the only real value is calling the authorities when you crash.

Yet the kicker is, the GM app which lets you lock/unlock, start/stop you car suddenly loses the ability to tell you your cars tire pressures and range remaining for both fuel and electric. Yep, GM gated that behind an OnStar subscription. Did not used to be, but they threw some switch recently which made the app near useless.

You can't destroy (melt?) a satellite with a ground-based laser. What you perhaps mean is to use a laser to slow down satellites such that they fall back to earth. Currently we don't have any efficient means to deorbit space debris. A laser is one possible method.
I'm confused, if the operating system is set to use some date format why not use that? You don't need to even reveal the format to Javascript since the input should work without JS.

Language preferences are a totally separate thing, although they could be used as a fallback if date format is somehow not offered by the operating system. E.g. de-CH for a swiss date format, de for a german date format.
Don't make my eyes wet, man.

I am 37, no kids (happily! I don't want them!), burned out, tired, with several health problems due to continued neglect, in a relationship with the most awesome and beautiful woman in the world, and as much as I love programming, my soul SCREAMS for a break.

As it is though, I've been extremely stupid and short-sighted most of my life and career and now that I make more money, I am compensating for a lot of mistakes in the past -- f.ex. I already must have spend at least 2500 euro on a dentist. Other medical bills will be rolling in shortly. Also upgrading tech, saving for good washing machine / refrigerator / oven. Started buying new clothes and shoes. Etc, etc. to infinity.

Maybe in a few years I'll actually have savings and will be able to take 1-2 years of break but I quite frankly doubt it. This "mini retirement" is a beautiful dream but our system is constructed so as to keep you busy 100% of the time and doesn't care about your human needs. Still, not only the system is at fault -- we as people have to be smarter about our future, which I wasn't.

Lastly, my woman can't support both of us -- for now, even though she really wants to. Maybe that will happen one day, who knows. For now though, most of the burden is on me and it's heavy.
You can use a tunnel like https://pagekite.net/ it seems they support Android.

Alternatively, you can DIY by connecting to some other machine using SSH and establishing a reverse tunnel.
Statements like this show how ambiguity creeps in:

All dates and times will be converted to ISO 8601 format, as specified in the spec, before being submitted to the web server.

Are you going to be appending a Z? Adding the browser's timezone? Adding T00:00:00Z to the dates? What? No clarity at all. You can't just hand wave and say 8601! 8601!

Also, we've had date and time pickers for over a decade now and this clearly doesn't meet the need.

It's such a shame that this is the standard they come out with.
