Ask HN: Way to access favorites of a user by HN API?
The API docs don't have user favorites listed as being accessible. (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) Is there a way to access a user's favorites by some type of API or through some other type of method? I find myself consistently using the favorites features to "bookmark" articles, so that I can read them in the future. I want to be able to search through the entries without manually going through each page.
This is false. If you had ever switched default browsers on Windows 10, you'd notice Internet Explorer not only still exists, but is on every Windows 10 PC. Most businesses which use Windows 10 still default to it.

Beyond that, Edge is definitely a fresh UI, but it's still based, at it's core, on the last version of IE. Some of the same particularly odd IE quirks (particularly with SVGs) still exist in Edge, though it's much more standards-compliant than older IE versions.
Dr Steven Greer of the disclosure project[1] recently made a dvd, called 'Unacknowledged'. It's been #one on iTunes documentary (apparently) for a while.
In it he talks about 'Unacknowledged Special Access Projects' (USAPs), which basically are illegal. The core of these USAPs is the UFO issue and he has countless witness testimonies from irrefutable military and private personnel, and has advised many people in Washington (CIA director, president elects) about them and they are generally amazed (apparently).
One of the things he explicitly mentions (and has been doing so for years), is that there is a secret agenda and that False Flag UFO encounters will be released, which will allow the military industrial complex to continue enslaving humanity.

To the point: recently, he's been vocal to state that all these UFO reports in the media over the last few days are just preliminary Flase Flag UFO events, designed to confuse and obfuscate the real problem.

Two reasons:

1. Google’s Material UI is a total dumpster fire and I use it only as a last resort.

2. Apple Maps integrates much better with everything else I’m using, so the experience is smoother (e.g., looking up an address on my laptop and then sending directions to my phone).

I keep Google Maps around as a backup, mostly for places of interest way out in the boonies, like hiking trailheads.

> BTC/USD alone has done $3 billion today.

Given those figures come from the completely unregulated, unaudited, incredibly sketchy exchanges themselves, I would take that with a huge grain of salt. Odds are good a vast majority of that $3 billion is trades using funny money or, for all you know, made up out of thin air. Easy to just trade with yourself all day...
I see your point. This is something I can imagine lawyers arguing over and there is no right/wrong answer really.

The cap table is interesting though. One could say it starts off at $0 but that isn't really true as there is a 'good will' value due to the public knowledge of the fork and that the coin will be worth something.
Cars obviously have sensors for real-time data capture. However, the question is how well they handle new signage/lights, road changes, construction, flooded lanes, etc. when those aren't in the database. It's fair to say that autonomous driving today is some point between "we run 100% off maps" and "we can handle things like a human could if we lost access to our maps." (And much closer to the former.)
The "culture that came out of northern Europe" is a meaningless term.
That's a really novel idea. But I suppose it would all depend on how modular the codebase is. If there's any doubt about where Adobe's code ends and company X's code begins you'd be back to square one-- especially given that company X could easily exploit any ambiguity to scare hobbyist developers from an effort to fill in the stubs.
I wholeheartedly agree. I think most people engaged in the subject would agree here [in Canada].

It's not completely destitute for mental health help. Ontario is improving coverage of pharmaceuticals for people under 25 and mental health is a growing concern.

Dental care is a sore spot for myself. I really hope we can improve upon that as it can cause life threatening health problems. Beyond that having dental problems that a person can't afford to remedy can relegate a person to a lower class, especially in business. It's a crucial aspect of physical well being, and should absolutely be considered! It's reassuring every time I hear the idea corroborated. While some dentists I've known are very empathetic and try to play to any insurance restrictions, others are quite the opposite and try to take advantage to their decided maximum and decry the idea of publicly subsidized dental health strictly because it might affect margins due to potential price changes in equipment. I look forward to attitudes on that subject changing.

I hope the moods and ideas surrounding the ACA and other, better, public health initiatives change in the US. It is an immense relief knowing that I'd never be turned away, can always see a doctor, can have blood work, urinalysis, x-rays, MRI's, ultrasounds, CAT scans, and emergency work done without a single worry about effects upon my life outside of the loss of quality due to any determined ailments. Every American I've ever met has never struck me as the kind to shun their neighbour by default—but for some reason when it has to be managed on the scale of a federal government program—some still develop issues with what they refer to as the burden of it.

I think we're on the right path here, in general, but I also think many Canadians underestimate the level of need outside of the cities, and in particular the northern and more isolated regions. There's definitely work to do.

I hope the current phase in the US changes, empathy becomes a larger influence in the spirit of the time and in policy decisions. It can do well for every aspect of society.

It's a long road forward—and no matter how much it improves, it can always improve further.
I've had the same experience, but is it Maps, or the continual use of GPS?

I don't have much to add, but I think you have an interesting idea and it is worth exploring further.
uMatrix is also great. It does a lot of the same things NoScript does, but at a greater granularity. I still use NoScript for its XSS protection features but have the main JS-blocking feature disabled because it's redundant.
And if it's organic. Organic does not mean they don't use fertilizers or have cleaner apples in general.

If you're worried about bad chemicals that can't be washed off then the core would likely be poisoned as well because it's going through the skin.

This kind of regret is exactly how you know it is a bullshit scam. No real-world investment behaves like bitcoin. It is massive, souped up penny stock designed to suck in libertarians and tech nerds.

Plus, who the fuck wants to adopt a "currency" where only the early investors get to be rich? Like, a vast majority of the BTC wealth is in a tiny, tiny fraction of people who were mining BTC way back in the day. How in the holy heck is that something you'd want in a mainstream currency?

Apple's forte is not high-caliber software engineering, or scaling huge infrastructure, as is the case at AWS/GCP. Apple's track record in recent years is pretty shoddy, and downright embarrassing in the last several months.

OpenRailwayMap shows the train lines on a geographic map.

I drew a train map where the distance between stations is proportional to the time it takes to travel that far.

http://peterburk.github.io/tra/

To do the project, I rewrote my own version of Logo, and scraped the train timetable data from the train company's website. It was quite satisfying because Logo was my first programming language (when I was about 7 years old), and I finally found a use for it.

To my knowledge, there's no other graphing tool that can draw maps like mine. Other subway maps don't have lines that are proportional to the time.

What are the claims from the other side about why "the Tesla battery will not work"? If the claims are "it won't provide enough power to matter", this data seems to support those claims, unless I misunderstand how the 9MW provided by the Tesla battery (the HPR) resolved the sudden loss of 560MW.
But they do have Android and all the smartphones that use Android or have Google maps installed and those smartphones also probably have GPS recivers and accelerometers.

Oh but this time it's different™

Seriously though, given all these trades occur on god knows what kind of sketchy exchanges for all we know half that stuff is literally random inserts in a database with no bearing in reality at all. Toss in "innovative" things like Tether and who really knows what the true value of BTC is.

This stuff is gonna fail, and fail hard. Hopefully for good. BTC and the whole crypto bandwagon is a massive, massive waste of energy.
It's surprising to me that Apple has 3D building data from Flyover already, but doesn't use it. They have reasonably good 3D scans of cities, with textures, and it doesn't seem that much of a stretch for them to differentiate between trees, cars etc. and turn that into building shapes - even if it requires human sorting, Apple does have billions of dollars. They could end up with more detailed buildings on their 2D view than Google.

That being said, they probably simply don't care. Maps is a means to an end for Apple, and likely not itself a direct money maker. People use it because Apple has a captive audience - you can't set your default Maps app on the iPhone to anything else. I don't get the feeling anybody actually likes it, altho I do enjoy using Flyover to see those 3d scans from time to time.

Minor criticism of this great article: a side-by-side view of the images would be better for comparison and more comfortable to the user than an automatically changing gif.
This Internet / Web software services weakness goes all the way back for Apple. Jobs was constantly frustrated at how mediocre Apple's results were in that area (in my opinion I don't think he was very good at cultivating that area in terms of his expertise or skill).

It's extremely difficult for a company to be good at many things. I'd be skeptical there's anything Apple can ever do to be good at their hardware object core (hardware + OS) and Internet services. iTunes has sucked for years, they either don't care or can't do anything about it. How did Spotify take the lead in streaming services? Why didn't they understand to acquire Netflix for streaming when it was tiny? Same fundamental reason, Apple isn't very good at Internet services.

Siri, iTunes, streaming (which is doing ok), Apple Maps, MobileMe, Ping, these are all the same problem. They mostly got the App Store right, to their credit.

Agreed it would suck to hold a bank account (Paypal, Coinbase) and then get deprioritized because your account isn't important enough.

It would be interesting to see what fraction of accounts have a "serious contention" with them on the order of not being able to move substantial funds. If any institution showed a figure even has high as 5% I would be seriously dissuaded.

Sure, by selling to greater fools. Every dime they made came out of some other fools pocket. Eventually the music is gonna stop playing and some fool is going to be left holding the bag.
But if there was a “good will” value then you would had to have paid taxes on the value at the time of aquiring the asset (when the fork happened). You can’t just be gifted something of substantial value and not pay taxes on it.
>Without context what you are saying is meaningless.

For example, it's beyond the pale to have a conversation about how demographics matter and that social science tells us that diversity is probably a net loss: http://archive.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/08/...

I don’t know. But 1000’s of people drawing pictures, saving their documents, uploading photos, trading files - that’s the problem. A few people doing a proof of concept isn’t a big deal.
Well suppose the CEO of ACME Pharma knows a major drug trial just failed. If she sold massively and pushed the price down, wouldn't that cause the lower price to be reflective of the actual real valuation of ACME (which is lower because they don't have a major drug now).

Of course, I wouldn't want to be the guy on the other side of that trade. But then again a casual grandma probably doesn't want to be on the other side of the trade of a multimillion dollar research team either.

Google also has a giant lead in trails / feature names. I hike a ton and Google has been adding trails at a brisk pace. I just checked the Snoqualmie Pass area about an hour outside of Seattle and Apple Maps has almost no trails, named mountains or named lakes (even quite large ones). A few trails show up as unnamed roads. There's also no relief shading to tell where the mountains are or a terrain view for contour lines.

If it's the type of autonomous cars that are prototyped today, they are definitely going to be dependent on invasive data collection.

Does it get sent back to the mothership? How is it processed? Is it discarded? Who has access?

When data is the new oil, these questions answer themselves if there is not legislation to prevent it.

Such data would be hugely attractive for commercial interests.

Hedge-funds and the like, use aerial imagery to get data like the amount of cars in parking lots at shopping areas.

With a fleet of cars with 360 degree cameras driving around, not only could the number of people on the sidewalks be counted, but it would be technically possible to identify most of them.
Interestingly, Apple maps seems to have more accurate maps in some places like Chiang Mai, Thailand. I've noticed locals there using Maps instead of Google Maps

I worked for a couple of years in a valley with only 2 access points.

Quite often, when it is time to go back home, the trafic would be jammed.

I was a Flash dev for a decade and I'm not sure I agree with you.

On one hand AS3 was a much better language 10 years ago than JS is today.

But OTOH when I was doing UIs in Flash I always missed HTML and CSS.

The good thing about Flash is that you could make stuff that was impossible otherwise, but once HTML5 was here why chose Flash? It was slow and a battery hog.

Steve Jobs didn't kill Flash, it died under its own weight or probably Adobe let it die. Maybe Adobe thought investing in AS4 didn't make sense considering everyone was moving to HTML5.

Discharging lithium batteries at a high C rate (C = Instantaneous Draw / Capacity) causes a different form of degraded life than storage at a high state of charge. And the major killer of lithium batteries is heat, which Tesla are known to manage well.

The biggest killer, though, is storage with the graphite electrode more than 50% lithiated - there is a gigantic step-up in capacity fade when batteries are stored with the State of Charge over around 90%, which Tesla are very smart to avoid.

Agreed. Yet this sort of sharing has happened in some fields - for example, with game engines. Which I never thought I'd see, way back when. The best of these now tend to be opened up (for royalties.) Perhaps that needs to have more regulatory or government encouragement; although like yourself I'm not quite sure how to do that and still keep incentives in place. Particularly where only one or two firms are really competitive.
