> If you don't need inter-process communications, you don't need ROS.

All I'm saying is, there are cases when you do need IPC, but you can do it without ROS... Surely it brings major benefits wrt. code reuse, but it can also be quite intimidating for a newcomer. I guess the best way of mastering it would be working on an existing project and having some experienced user walk you through it.

The degree of fault is determined through investigation, and it's not all or none. If the banks had negligently lax security that should have resulted in only 75% of the actual robbed monies being lost, they'd be on the hook for the remainder.
I feel like taxing proprietary software, or making it illegal would be awful. Many companies big to small run businesses off of proprietary software. You have the big players like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook. Not sure how some of these compare in size, but you also have Github, Shopify, Squarespace, Reddit, Atlassian, Basecamp, robo advisor companies. Then you consider not purely based online companies like banks or retail stores that sell their products online, or give you the ability to trade ETFs. Some of those they could use open stuff instead, as they make money off of trades.

I do agree that making DRM is a losing battle, and they are transferring that cost to legitimate customers. Really though I don't have much other options for streaming. Amazon prime has the same setup, and CraveTV probably does too. Though Crave doesn't have much for content that I'm interested in.

Not really. It's not that other debuggers didn't provide some of those features and were very good at, say, stepping through program logic. I've spent many years using other debugging tools for C/C++ and Java, and although there are some good IDE's out there, firebug's capability to analyze everything from logic to object models to network activity and visual presentation details, in such a well-integrated and user-friendly way was frankly unprecedented.
I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. The Amazon rules have an exception specifically for this case: if your pet can access the front door on delivery day. They've framed it slightly more positively and gently (I'd prefer, for my pet's sake, that they require the dog to be in a closed room), but that's exactly what it means.

I suppose some people might assume this means something silly like locking your cat in a broom closet of your one-room studio apartment, when many homes with dogs have a 'dog room' which is where the pet(s) stay when the owners are out of the house. Separating your pet from potential problems is a part of responsible pet ownership.

As the owner of a Newfoundland mix, I highly recommend it even without Amazon Key - not only does my dog appreciate having her own comfortable space in which she sleeps and to which she can retreat when there are too many people over, but it helps slightly contain the hopeless shedding and drool.

I like the UX well enough, but calling it just 7 actions completely ignores that you need to have an internet facing webserver with PHP, configured. Many of us here could arrange that pretty easily, but it greatly adds to complexity versus using an existing web-service.

If all you care about is the camaraderie of people who think like you, that is fine. But many people care about other things too.

For example if you believe that climate change is a conspiracy by the Chinese to weaken the American economy, then even if you can go to anti-climate change conferences and be popular among climate change denialists, you won't be very happy because you will believe that in the end the Chinese are still going to destroy your country.

You could gain some social power but lose all your structural power[1]. For the sort of people who care more about objective reality than about popularity contests, that is a bad deal.

If I had a house set up with a single room (foyer, mud room, etc.) with an external door openable with this, and an interior door openable only by me, I'd love to have the ability for Amazon to drop packages there.

But you can figure it out trivially easily based on which way the letters are flipped.
Well, not a serial terminal, judging by that ^c in the video! Worst thing about a slow baud rate is if you cat a big file you're gonna sit there and wait until it finishes flushing down the pipe before your ^c makes it up.

I think freneticfox said it best, but i'll add that there are sometimes non-financial costs to having your home sway too much to the custom side of things.

Example: Did you ever have to run out to your local hardware store to pick up a small widget (e.g maybe a few screws of specific size, length, etc.) late at night...only to find that the store doesn't stock that exact type of widget that you need...the hardware store doesn't stock what you need because most of their customers buy typical stuff, and your needs are too long-tail. Let this seemingly little annoyance happen to you a couple of times before you start hating that your home is "one-of-a-kind". And then you begin to buy parts/widgets that cost too much - either because you have to drive all over the place (and maybe you buy an extra widget to avoid repeated future searches) or because the widget costs a premium to begin with...Or, worse, you begin to use 3rd party repair providers - because they regularly stock weird widgets like what you need - and then you're paying them a slight premium to repair (which maybe you could have repaired if you only had the freakin' part/widget)!

Or...What if your property has trees on or near it...and your area goes through seasonal changes where the leaves fall? Maybe you care (or don't) about raking up leaves...Or, maybe your town has ordinances - or your community has local "rules" - about you needing to keep your land "neatish", and then "forces" you to clean up your area through fines, etc. Here again, you can pay someone else to rake/pick up the leaves, or you can do it yourself. Bam, you pay one way - either time or money.

There are countless other examples - no matter the home or location - where owning a home requires investments in time or money, and often both. And, if anyone tells you that "they love working on the house, or cleaning up their yard"...and that it doesn't count as money or time used up, then managing their home is basically their hobby...and hobbies cost money and/or time.

I understood that the numbers were made up, but this is a case where they need to be accurate, at least in their proportion, for the result to make sense.

As for relative cost, that’s a big reason why ICBMs took on such a prominent role: once the technology was worked out, they were much cheaper than bombers.

It’s hard to find precise numbers, but imprecise ones should suffice. We can look at commercial airports to get an idea of what base construction would cost. An asphalt runway won’t cut it here: you need sturdy concrete runways to hold large planes like this. I believe a B-52 needs even more strength than airliners do, because they have fewer wheels. In any case, the cost of constructing a single new runway at a large commercial airport is many hundreds of millions of dollars, sometimes over a billion. And that’s just the runway, never mind all the other infrastructure you need. Bombers aren’t cheap either. It’s hard to say what a new B-52 would cost, since nobody has built one for a long time, but it’s peobably hundreds of millions each.

An ICBM plus silo is tens of millions. Various sources online list the Minutemen III at a $7 million cost per unit, but that must be nominal dollars decades back. They’d cost quite a bit more now, but tens of millions should be a reasonable estimate. The silo adds significant cost, but it’s ultimately a fairly small construction projects relative to a whole bomber base.

If you can reactivate old bases, that would help a lot, but they probably need substantial refurbishment if they’ve been idle for a long time, and you still need aircraft to base there. And there are only so many old bases to be had.
Not sure if this in your wheelhouse, but I would love to see a good report on the cost breakdown for new housing. From my own research looking at NYC it looked like new construction was surprisingly expensive and stuff like https://www.citylab.com/equity/2017/10/why-is-affordable-hou... isn't exactly encouraging.

My basic gut feeling is that if we can't make housing cheaply we are never going to have enough in a city going through a boom.

You just described long-polling: holding the connection open until the response arrives or it times out.

Even if you just send push-promises and push-responses while keeping the original response stalled (and the browser accepts the response), the client-side JS still has no idea what those requests were or what was loaded.

SSE is the evolution of long-polling so that browsers already include the logic to keep a connection open with streaming updates so that you can avoid all this in the first place.
No, I mean the fee you need to pay on salaries. 30% in my country. So if you pay $100 gross salary you need to pay an additional $30 to the state. On the $100 the employee will pay normal taxes but the cost for the company will be $130. I'm presuming they "take out" the money as salaries here. Or is it done by dividends? 15% sounds low for that since you, in my country, need to pay corporate tax first and then taxes on the actual dividends themselves.
What? No? You're life's not exactly like mine? Yours must be wrong. /s
You're taking my comment out of context. GP said they would create an unsustainable business for $10 million, which kind of implies that they knew from the beginning that whoever bought the business would lose their investment. Buyer beware doesn't absolve the seller in a strictly moral evaluation. I was merely responding to the GP's hypothetical, not making a comment about the VC market in general. Also, GP never said fraud was off the table. :)

Actually you can change the extension from .csv (that Excel believes it can recognize) to something else and open it, the "import wizard" will let you choose the "separating character" and other settings that are very useful when importing Comma (or other character) separated values (such as forcing the "data type" by column).
A good idea, however is to use TSV (TAB separated values) that can be usually copy pasted directly, it still remains in many cases the "feature" that Excel has to auto-identify data types, creating a mess with a number of pieces of data (such as a columen with Hex values, half of which will be "text" and the other half "numbers").

It is actually very rare for dictatorships to turn into democracies.

No idea. Formal democracy is still in place, so there's hope.

Yes - that is true, and it seems like ZFS usage is much higher there because of that.
I was confused that the article fails to mention that UPS, at least, expressly prohibits drivers from crossing the threshold unless you’re taking a package from them with outstretched arms. They can’t even “set it down inside”, kindness or not - doing so is a violation. Or used to be when it last came up for me, anyways.
Totally agreed. I did mention "other job", which meant a job on the side.

Unless you were talking about the discussion here on HN? I haven't read most of the discussion here yet.

I'm smart, get things done, and communicate well.

I'm Yi Xiang, a full-stack developer looking to work for a remote first company with challenging impactful work.

Being remote, you want to hire self-motivated people who can communicate well in written English. As a freelance developer, I enjoy autonomy, know the vital importance of communication, and I prefer typing too.

I understand that time zone matters, and am willing to make sacrifices. But I do hope your company values work life balance and don't ask me to attend meetings at my midnight every day.

I believe you want someone passionate about their favorite frameworks, but can adapt to whatever tools your team is already using without complaining (as long it's not SourceSafe), because he is a professional.

I want to be in a team that values trust, between engineers, and between managers and engineers. It's the only way we could get anything done.
Except they have to get all of those millions of lawsuits dismissed individually by advancing that argument and failing in even a single of those cases through a novel argument on the part of plaintiff, sympathetic judge, etc could open an avalanche of lawsuits against the firms.

It also would force the courts dismissing the lawsuits to grapple with the sheer scale of criminality that the dismissals are being used to hide -- it's easy to hide it when you shut down a handful of lawsuits and the vast majority of your victims remain silent, but are judges going to be so accepting of mandatory arbitration when they've already, personally, dismissed thousands of suits because of arbitration clauses that are about the exact same kind of fraud perpetrated by the exact same people and have thousands more left on their docket? How many times do you believe that a judge can see the exact same crime happen from the same perpetrator and just go "Ho, hum, nothing to see here!" Sometimes, the key is just to be really noisy and annoying so they can't ignore the issue.

The act of filing the suits, particularly in a concerted bulk effort, and forcing the government to address and dismiss each individual suit is an effective form of speech and protest.

Your argument is shallow excuses for defeatism, which in turn excuses not actually trying.

Edit:

It also introduces a novel argument of "Uh, so this court has dismissed over 10,000 lawsuits about this exact issue -- clearly we're being abused by a corporation and petitioning the state for assistance. [Argument why the state is obligated to assist.]"

It forces the court to explicitly address the argument that the arbitration system is being coupled with a power imbalance to enable criminal action against entire states of people by documenting the scale via dismissals -- which are public record and can be used as evidence in subsequent cases.
Or to put it another way, the grandparent's analogy fails because tort law pivots on duty to others and negligence in carrying it out. Criminal law is about non-interference with others and intent in violating that non-interference, which is the polar opposite. Lawsuits (ignoring punitive damages) aren't about deterrence - they're about restoration to the plaintiff. There is no parallel in criminal law.

What's the best argument for this vote?
Because this would make the business less competitive and thus reduce both jobs and growth.

Density tends to increase economic productivity and spur growth. Being close to other businesses, services, and population essentially reduces latency.

"Using data on gross state output, the authors find that a doubling of employment density increases average labor productivity by around 6 percent. More than half of the variance of output per worker across states can be explained by differences in the density of economic activity."

This feels like an entirely unnecessary risk. Yes, it would be good to having plenty of iPhone Xs available for the holidays, but they're a year-round seller, and they'll sell a ton whenever they come out.

That's ridiculous. If I signed a statement saying "The file with this hash is malware: <hash here>" would you say that "you're basically vouching for that file" just because my statement contained the file's hash?

Similarly, if I sign a commit containing `parent 085bb3bcb608e1e8451d4b2432f8ecbe6306e7e7`, that says nothing about whether I consider all previous commits to be valid. It only says that the commit I just signed was created based off of that parent commit, and that in order to see the changes I actually made you'll need to diff against that parent. (Which `git show <my commit id>` will do automatically.)
