Would you please stop posting acerbic swipes to HN? You've done this a ton, and it's against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

(Taking a bit of a leap from your username: there's no bigger fan of wicked British wit than I, but you can't routinely do it here. The container is too fragile to withstand acid, and all that happens if you breach it is tidal waves of internet shite in your wake. Following the rules is a bit of work and a bit boring and bland, but not nearly as boring as it'll be if HN ends up in that state, i.e. dead. Blandness is the cost we have to pay to have a public forum.)
General Electric migrating 330,000 employees away from Windows to Apple
Paragraph breaks would be nice, yes.

But I’m willing to be more forgiving when it comes to younger people who may not have had the opportunity yet to learn the wisdom of years.

So, for example, if you are 50 or younger, I would be likely to be more forgiving of your response to the high schooler.

Open source is a huge part of what makes programming appealing to me. I like to build things that will last, and that I own completely. I don't think that Microsoft or Apple have a positive influence on society and prefer not to support them. You can call that unreasonable all you want, but already my approach has paid huge dividends as far as picking technologies that have staying power and are continually gaining traction.
Yes, but I was asking specifically about things other than the hardware and individual apps, like is there a flavour of Windows specifically for the HoloLens and how significanly different is that UI?

Notes and Analysis from Dockercon Europe in Copenhagen
I own a chevy volt and it never felt as good as it should be. Initially it has a burning smell on gas mode. I took it to the dealership for maintenance and they said GM's official solution is to install a "carbon filter" to the venting. It has an integration with Apple CarPlay that works most of the time but has some small glitches.

It all felt like... Nokia - you know the times when you buy those smartphones expecting them to be really intelligent but they turn out to be awefully hard to use... until iPhone came along.
"Sorry, we don't recognize this email id."

This doesn't sound good. Should you not be doing 'If we recognize this email we will send you a verification code' with a timing randomization / delay if you're doing anything on the request pipeline such as the SMTP send.
> I imagine people like the way it tastes plus it's extremely cheap and takes very little time to prepare.

It's true to some extent but not the end of the story. For one thing, water is cheaper and more easily available than sodas.

As for marketing:

http://fastfoodmarketing.org/fast_food_facts_in_brief.aspx

"In 2012, fast food restaurants spent $4.6 billion in total on all advertising, an 8% increase over 2009. For context, the biggest advertiser, McDonald's, spent 2.7 times as much to advertise its products as all fruit, vegetable, bottled water, and milk advertisers combined."
LCY has a short runway and particularly strict noise limits, it’s not especially obvious that fast aircraft would be able to operate from it.
I think the idea is that UBI will come without the grift, corruption, and other issues from the communist bloc.

A world where you have UBI, but can still work for Google and make truckloads of money is very different from communism.

I assume gp is referencing the necessity of training the spam filter.

I didn't have big problems with it, except for a monthly student loan payment confirmation email that fastmail refused to classify as not spam no matter how many times I so marked it.

In general, I found gmail's spam filter to be the best. If, however, you don't need to regularly interact with lots of new email addresses, fastmail will work fine for you.

Do you have links to your analytical work?

Bonus for links to your thoughts on how to fork and expand another order of magnitude. This is something I'd love to work on at some point.
I'd love to comment more specifically, but as one of those people from the "poorer South" - by all means, do it. Those 5000€ have historically never been actually routed to the actual regions, anyway - mainly they get lost in a maze of entities and small time orgs that disappear just after they get the money, often with the implicit acknowledgement by politicians of both places.

In exchange, I have just one request - please ask your local MPs to stop saving the ass of our corrupted politicians who foster such behavior, instead of giving them parliamentary immunity or "institutional benefit of doubt" every time some anti-corruption or anti-mafia investigation gets them. It would be a nice start.
Interesting that HN tend to swing between two extremes in this: "it is meritocracy, all is just about work" and "everything is corrupt and based on who you are friend with" (plus some who attempt to frame latter as former through it is not).
As a layman I don't know what consensus geologists have about your questions. But I think the answer to the last of your questions would be yes. The colder/solid slab is showing up in data gathered about seismic wave propagation speed.

I have the model in mind of an ice cube in water, except with higher viscosity and of course more heat. There would be a penumbra of cold water surrounding the melting cube until a point where there would just be cool water, vaguely cube-shaped. Plus the motion would smear the penumbra but not the remaining solid. Also my guess is there aren't a lot of precise measurements, so the usual blur from that. Like an ice cube in water, if you test the solidity of the cube you find that the cube hasn't softened, just shrunk.

I looked at a few of the plots but only the Cocos plot clearly suggested a 'slab' to my eyes, and probably for the wrong reason: The plot looks like it is divided in half by the blue area. Looking more carefully and reading, I think what I'm seeing is two depths of the same object. The plate subducting under the West coast of the Americas is apparently appearing as an anomaly or slab at two depths.
1) Of course
2) Autonomy doesn't allow the type of independence you are looking for
3) It is very much, and for different reasons, but if your problem is redistribution of wealth on a national level, but not on a local it just means that you feel that southern Italy isn't Italy as much as Veneto is. Which isn't really a great thing in 2017
4) Rome and Naples have longer and definitely more impactful histories. we should be moving toward the future, instead of still grasping toward a few historical myths of the past (la serenissima fell on the 18th century).

It really sickens me to see people supporting segregation, separation and justify their ignorance with some historical fact that has no ties to the present.

For what I personally care, Veneto and Lombardia could become their own countries, but let's just call things with their names instead of finding silly justifications.

UBI has to be extremely aggressive to be effective. We're going to have to stop wasting resources on wars and militaries. With the obscene amount spent on the US military to maintain an empire could we instead give every US citizen a 100k income? Not once the dust has settled, we're in debt for generations and looking at 70-80% income tax on the small amount of people left working not to provide income for those pushed out of the economy but to provide income fr the rentier class who pay hardly or no taxes and live off the labor of others.
First released in Opera 10 in 2009, it seems odd that this feature would take 8 years to develop, considering the proliferate JS+DOM implementations in the wild. I wonder what kept it.
In this situation (4 kids, 2000 PLN per month from working) only the first child gets 500 PLN per month conditional on not working. The remaining 3 kids get 1500 PLN per month no matter if you work or no.

So it's a decision between 3500 per month or 2000 per month and free time.

So 500+ (3500 or 2000 and free time) is something between communism (2000 or 2000 and free time) and UBI (4000 or 2000 and free time).

Also like 90%+ of society has 2 kids or less, so it's tuned for 2 kids, not 4, and that's where the decision is more interesting (2500 or 1000 and free time). And there's black market for jobs, especially in poor areas, so there you can have both (and only the state loses, because it pushes people not to pay taxes).

Yeah in conclusion I think 500+ is even worse than UBI, but thankfully it's only 500 PLN per child, so around 25% of average salary.
> Note that there is no picker for <input type=time>. We decided not to support it since we think it’s easier and faster to enter a time using the keyboard than selecting it from a picker.

I wasted about 2 minutes trying to figure out how to input seconds in the embedded example. Turns out it was am/pm. Maybe the picker can be a simple drop-down list.
Don't you think that's exactly what the headline is trying to convey?
FWIW, you can use the binary protocol for SELECTs too.
Yeah I'm listing the differences. Still both communism and UBI eliminated the negative consequences of not working.

This has been brought up so many times that it would be off-topic just for bone-crushing tedium if it weren't already off limits as ideological trolling. Feel free to search HN for the countless flamewars we've already had about it. It's a perfect example of the kind of unsubstantive, inflammatory discussion we don't want here.

Honestly - how long more can Lombardy help the South. The freaking dogs on the street know about the Cassa Del Mezzogiorno. My father emigrated from Naples in the 60s and found a job in Lombardy, where he met my (Lombard) mother. I emigrated from Lombardy to Ireland. Not advocating emigration at all costs, but certainly governments of the last 50 years have advocated centralization and unfair redistribution of wealth to the detriment and frustration of the North. The South of Italy has so much potential (between UNESCO/POIs sites and wonderful landscape, tourism alone would get everybody employed year round), how it remained poor all these years is a mystery that goes beyond reductive punts on organized crime.

This doesn't sound like a very good way to gain a deeper understand of technology. I'm not sure if you can really compare religion and spirituality with technology.

Most other developers and hackers I know, myself included, have some of their best ideas and insights when they are NOT focusing on technology or the problem at hand. Also, anecdotally, the majority of these people are not the stereotypical hollywood portrayed geeks who care about nothing other than hacking technology. They are usually well adjusted people with lives that go far beyond their work because most successful developers understand that to be good at your job also requires you to have a healthy and non-obsessive relationship with your work.

So unless you have Aspergers or something like that then this is likely to be a pretty unhealthy way to live your life. Humans require social interaction, time to unwind, physical exercise etc.
Why instantly quit? UBI gives you more negotiation leverage because the consequences of being fired are much less severe. You could probably negotiate better working conditions or fewer hours in exchange for less pay.

There's a whole range of possibilities between low pay, maximum freedom (nothing but UBI), and high pay, low freedom (continuing to work as before). That's one big advantage of UBI over other benefits schemes: there are no breakpoints where working makes you worse off.

I think the idea behind a native datepicker for <input> fields is good. But the fact I can't customize the design and UX of the datepicker interface, it always ends up being replaced by some javascript library where I can.

Same goes for the <select> input. The native one is usually always replaced by a custom designed one.
It might feel empowering demanding taxes to be spent in the richer areas instead of helping poorer areas: Zaia, Governor of Veneto and member of the anti-Europe, anti-Euro, anti-italian nation Lega Nord party, promoted the referendum demanding that "taxes in Veneto should stay here, not helping Sicily".

It probably is, at first. But in an economy of different parties, who produces more needs some buyers to keep growing. If there are not enough buyers, overproduction and economical collapse will knock at the door. You can see this trend internationally: we seldom see a country be an outlier in the yearly growth. Either all countries grow, or all countries decline. It is the % that changes. We saw this during the 2008-2012 crisis in particular.

It is in the interest of the richest areas to help the poorest. By doing so not only the average quality of life of a country increases. With less economical inequalities between regions, the once poorer regions are buyers of goods of the once richer ones.

While you correctly associated Lombardia and Veneto to Germany, you forgot to mention that after the WWII, Germany went split politically and economically. When it got re-united in 1989-1991 East Germany was economically very diverse from the more developed West. Our fathers were wiser: instead of doing referendum demanding taxes to be withheld in the West, they demanded to be taxed to help the East. [source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_reunification#Cost_of_r... ] After 20 years those differences are still somewhat visible, yet they do not constitute a problem for Germany's growth and quality of life as a nation.

On the historical side it has been confirmed that 2/3 of the gold resources in Italy came from Regno delle due Sicilie [source: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regno_delle_Due_Sicilie in Patrimonio e finanza section ]. Those lands are today's most rural parts of Italy, yet contributed the most to the wealth of Italy as a nation.

I highly suggest a read on this last historical matter: Terroni by Pino Aprile. You might find a different point of view. [ https://www.amazon.com/Terroni-Ensure-Italians-Became-Southe... ]

Brexit "let's get back european money and put them into nhs"?How is that going not the same?Oh the rest was about the immigrants.

Catalonia is literally the same, with just more political madness to it.

The reason behind all of this is that we are living in a harsh economic era, politics failed in providing a guidance and unity (since a while) and people don't feel empathy towards other side of their countries and blame them for their country defects, as if you could just point the finger to a specific region or group of people to blame them for the economic tragedies and corruption of modern politics.
> a supersonic service charging say $2500 round trip (this would represent a 75% saving over Concorde)

FWIW Concorde ticket prices were so high because they were expected to be so high. By clients. BA raised their prices significantly in the early 80s to match what customers perceived the prices would be:

> Market research had revealed that many of Concorde's existing business customers had their tickets purchased by their employers, and thought the cost of a journey on Concorde was more expensive than it actually was; thus ticket prices were progressively raised to match these perceptions.

Nice, but why <input type="date"> expects U.S. format 'mm/dd/yyyy' instead of native format used in my system?

If it falls back to default format, at least the default could little bit more universal/stanard, e.g. 'yyyy-mm-dd'.

Edit: Even after switching my preferred language from English to Finnish in browser settings, the format stays 'mm/dd/yyyy'. I'm using Finnish region in my OS settings as well.
Just wish that compact 5 row would get some more love.

Switching it to anything but english to make use of dictionaries makes potential special characters vanish from the long-press popups...
Hi, Both the approaches are correct. However, first one is more helpful to registered users who want to reset their password. Sometimes, they forget the email id they registered their account with and the "Sorry" message helps them think harder and try alternative email addresses.

In the latter, they will wait for the code for a minute or two and then realise they entered an in-correct email id.
Corruption in communism was a consequence of centralization and lack of democratic control of the government (here UBI is different), and of money losing their value (here UBI will be most probably similar).

If you get money no matter what - money are worth less and less compared to what you can buy for them, and to stop that they might introduce rationing, and that's just asking for corruption.
