The best free (and purchaseable) book out there for novices-to-intermediates is "Automating the Boring Stuff with Python". Not only is it well-written, it captures the main gist of why programming is useful in a variety of life's use cases: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

That transition happens at precisely the moment that the object rotates.

> I'm hoping that it becomes possible to run (sandboxed) flash apps in the same way that you can run DOS apps with DosBOX.

Firefox + adobe flash plugin still works (well, it works for me anyway... I'm on FF 56 still). Slap it into a container (firejail works) and you are done. No need to reinvent the wheel.

If you don't want the closed source solution and the Firefox dependency, there's also gnash. Slap gnash on a container and you're set. The only niggle is that gnash is... kinda bad. It's slow and a bunch of swf files I have don't work (some don't work at all, others have weird graphical problems).

If you want to contribute, gnash would be a good candidate, I guess:

You can also book rooms on some container ships (yes, container ship cruises are a thing!).

The downsides of such a cruise are readily apparent: Lack of amenities during the cruise, few to no people to talk to/with (unless you know the common language of the crew - which could be almost anything - but even then, they have work to do!), etc.

You are also limited on where you can travel from and to, and of course when you arrive at your destination, you probably have to get creative to gain transport from there to wherever.

There's also the fact that you won't usually have a set and known time for when to board the ship for leaving (it might be in port and scheduled to leave at a certain time, but might be held up for one reason or another outside of the port, or delayed leaving for some reason or another), or when it will arrive at its destination (like any ship, I suppose - but container ships are working vessels, and they may be held out of port for certain admin purposes, or some other law-related reason, or they may have to dock elsewhere for repairs - or who knows what else).

That all said, from what I have investigated, if you want a little (or a potentially a lot) of adventure, and don't mind the whole uncertainness of the experience, container ship cruising can be a very inexpensive (compared to a regular cruise ship). I don't think it compares to flying (but I never delved that deep into the pricing), but it certainly could be worth it from an "about my vacation" story perspective.

Mobility services will solve a lot of that. Not only do you spread the initial investment across all customers, you also spread out maintenance and depreciation, while getting economies of scale in fleet management.

I have a hard time imagining a fleet of electric Google self driving cars being more expensive per mile than even the cost of gasoline.

Of course gas will go down to $2 to try to compete, but they’re fighting physics.

Mobility services also have some unique benefits: you can get a 2 seater or a 7 seater or whatever you want for each trip. You can do one-way rides. You can be on your phone. You can be ill/injured, etc.

> Nothing in the GPL says you have to be provided with a copy of the source along with the program.

What did I say that made you think that? I said the GPL requires exposure of the source, and maybe some best practices could emerge if we're lucky that might amount to it being easily available.

> Always cracks me up how many people think the GPL means "I get everything I want, exactly how I want it".

Interesting, as it always cracks me up when people decide to interpret statements in contorted, narrow ways just so they align with a pet peeve and they have something to rail against.
Watch the angle displayed near the top of the screen. It passes 0° precisely when the object rotates. I say you're the winner.

(I think the speck would have to be on the lens itself though; a speck on the dome would stay fixed during gimbal rotation. Speck on the lens rotates by virtue of the DSP compensating for the camera rotation to keep the world level.)

I suppose also the "shape" of the object could be lens flare (or another imaging artifact) due to the object being very bright. At least some portion of such an artifact would track with the lens as well.
> Do you really think that they don't understand what problem they are solving?

Yes. Every single person who turns Windows Update off should be considered a critical bug, and their use case should be understood and fixed. The fact that they instead still use it to push anti-features means they still don't understand why people still turn it off.

If they started, today, focusing heavily on getting people to trust Windows Update again and leave it turned on, they'd have a massive uphill battle. But I've seen no signs that that's a focus at all.
I think it's valid question, the issue is just in the presentation.

If you ask it with the attitude of trying to find people who are 1000% in love with the concept of working at your very specific company then I think you're deluding yourself. Unless you're a world-famous company or your company has a very niche mission, it's unlikely that the applicant cares about working for you specifically.

If, however, you ask it in the context of "why are you looking to leave your current job and why does this one interest you" then there's a lot of room to figure out where the applicant's expectations don't align with reality.

I work for a small enterprise SaaS company in NYC. We get a lot of people interviewing who are coming from a long career working in banks. I always ask why they want to go from working in a bank to working at a company like ours. Sometimes it turns out that they won't get what they're looking for if they come work with us and that's a discussion worth having.

It's all about managing expectations

DON'T use LastPass. I just found this thread after posting a similar one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15962172).

LastPass is super buggy, and their support is like a broken record, sending basic debugging steps day long (Like "have you tried re-installing the extension and rebooting"). And on top of all that, you have to trust a single company to keep your data secure, on the cloud, where anyone could hack it.

Right now I'm trying out Enpass but am looking for others.
I use minikube locally for developing on, but so far I've not been able to get a production k8s cluster up. As I replied to the other poster, the last time I tried kubeadm, I was completely unable to get past setting up a cluster network, at best. This was some time ago, so I do want to spend time to try again soon, but so far my experience has been pretty negative.

telekube looks pretty interesting, but sadly I don't have the money for any commercial offerings; side-projects can be a pain like that.
The way I look at it, putting panels on the car is a good idea (because it reduces the need to charge frequently for people who don't drive long distances regularly) that sounds like a bad idea (because the power from panels is so much less than the power requirements of the car while it's running) that sounds like a good idea (hey, why not get energy for free!).

Not everyone will benefit or care about charging their car a few less times per year and adding panels will cost more, add weight, and probably change the appearance of the car, but I think it's an option worth exploring.
The problem is when tools that are targeted for rapid development start getting used for large, mission-critical applications.

> Sitting on property and collecting rent is clearly not working.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about that.

Even landlords have to work (and I say this as a tenant). There's tenants to screen, repairs to manage, regular safety inspections to perform. Land rents have volatility and risk as well. There's the possibility of vacancy or bad tenants which leaves you with a property that's not returning any value. A landslide could take away your property entirely and insurance won't cover it (don't scoff; I know someone this happened to). Maybe it's not as much work as running a small business, maybe it is, I don't know. But it's a non-zero amount of work.

EDIT: As I pointed out in a comment above, I think the top tax rate for unearned income should be higher, with more brackets overall. There's no reason for it to be flat 20% when the top rate for earned income is 40%. That unfairly penalizes small-time investors (who get taxed at 15% on an income that would be almost 0% if earned) as well as high-earning salaried people who pay 40% compared to the 20% someone making 20x as much in unearned income would pay.

> I have yet to meet a person who can cogently argue why handouts (e.g. land rents) shouldn't be distributed equally.

Taxing rental income at 100% would kill off the rental market completely. A lot of people like the flexibility of renting and don't want to deal with realtors and banks and mortgages every time they change their job. Many people can't afford the down payment to buy a house so they need to rent until they've saved up enough to do so (you might argue that property prices will go down because of no landlords and there won't be a need for mortgages, not sure that'll actually happen but it's another topic). Businesses also rent offices or retail space when they can't or don't need to buy. At the end of the day, landlords provide a service that's useful, by deploying their capital and labor.

> I'm of the opinion that unearned income should be taxed at 100%

Here's the IRS definition of unearned income:

"Unearned income includes investment-type income such as taxable interest, ordinary dividends, and capital gain distributions."[1]

So if you really mean that, you're going to be taxing average-Joe-worker-with-index-funds (that includes me BTW) 100% on his dividends. Maybe we need to start being clear on what the term "unearned income" really means before we argue further :-)

> whereas earned income should be taxed at 0%

So...CEO making $50 million/year would pay $0 in taxes?

> You really seem very keen on having the tax code encourage gambling over working.

Gambling implies the possibility of loss, the presence of real risk. And even property speculation is still a lot of work; you have to research lots and lots of properties, crunch numbers, line up funding, develop and market the property for rent or resale. Given that it's work with more risk involved than taking a paycheck, why is it a bad thing for the tax code to recognize this?
Wait, why did Latin have a word for gourd?
I hope something can be done to support a stronger software ecosystem on this platform. Every previous attempt has failed. HTML5 and even Android emulation aren't good enough either. I'll likely switch to this regardless, but there are some key apps that people want that just weren't around on any of these alternative platforms. Not even Microsoft could pull it off with Windows 10.
Don't know where the assessment "Msft, Google APIs accuracy still below par" came from. In fact this is just comparing 3 APIs.

I actually think it's perfect. Imagine they have future tech that absolutely crushes any current or next-gen competitors. The public is nosey and every year becoming more and more able to record high quality footage.

So let's drum up the "crazy" about UFOs. So when real UFOs are seen (the ones we created and want to keep secret) nobody can get a serious dialogue going because the UFO signal-to-noise ratio is awful. Everyone will focus on how crazy anyone sounds when they claim they have UFO footage. Especially when one of our military partners or adversaries manage to snag some airborne or satellite imagery of it.

I'm reading the paper, but the example on the webpage is pretty contrived. Yes, the resulting "nice looking" districts are mathematically simple to specify, but narrow triangle-shaped wedges won't pass the smell test for most people. Or any triangles!

The world underneath is full of other facts on the ground, like municipal boundaries, county lines, and the like. Districts that deviate too far from these other entities -- entities that are already being used for governance and administration -- then clearly some trickery is going on to deliberately cherry-pick people for some reason.

Tying districts to more closely resemble existing administration boundaries won't magically solve this issue -- packing, cracking, nonsensical groupings are still a danger -- but it's a sensible baseline expectation that can be used to build on. When applied together with nonpartisan redistricting, perceived compactness, and efficiency gap metric, as the article notes, it can produce reasonable results.

Compensation seems to be surprisingly missing from this list. If I work at a FANG company, and you're just getting started, chances are you won't be able to compete nearly as well as compensation. That's not to say that compensation is the only thing people work for -- though it is a large part -- but you must offer something especially unique to set yourself apart.

But most urbanists and community groups aren’t interested in the big-picture finances. They’re concerned with on-the-ground experience, and the personal car is not essential to it. Technology is providing car sharing and ride sharing for short distances, and airplanes for long distances. Just-in-time global supply chains that make tropical fruit affordable in the neighborhood grocery store, also provide anything else in the world to my doorstep. Emission control technology and tree plantings make urban life sometimes less polluted than rural life.

We live great lives without personal cars, and we don’t want to be forced into legacy environments that require cars.

With regards to Sam Altman, he is a clear Chinaphile, based on his essay before: http://blog.samaltman.com/china. He ignores the facts that China is a bad actor in the world, rules its citizens with iron fist, disregards human rights and freedom, and is a possible threat to jeopardize the future progress of democracy and freedom we have around the world.

People like Sam Altman are concerning, since he holds the top spot in the world's best startup accelerator. He alone can give China unlimited power in accomplishing their goals: silencing dictatorship critics, bankrupt other countries, etc.

On my mobile device, Conversations isn't a top battery user. Google Play Services are much, much higher, and there's another chat app that's usually in the top even though I rarely use it.

Push notifications aren't magic -- they also have to maintain a consistent connection to the server, and re-activate it after a sleep. What having a push notifications provider like Play Services does is let you keep just one connection open for all apps. But adding just a few more doesn't make a big difference.

I also have an IMAP IDLE connection open all the time (K9 Mail), and it doesn't move the needle, either.
The solution really is a revitalization of antitrust policy. The reason markets work is because participants in them are bound to a 'race to the bottom' with many other participants doing the same thing. When companies aren't forced to race to the bottom against each other, the conditions of authoritarianism rise. Authoritarian structures don't have to necessarily come from government - monopolies, oligopolies and implicit cartels are some of the authoritarians of today. The question is have we reached a point where technology and globalization provide such enormous returns to the economies of scale that we can't go back or is all this corporate concentration just due to a lack of government enforcement?
