If you're talking about VS Code, I tried it a few months ago, and while it was faster than Atom, it also aggressively took over file associations, which is pretty irritating, TBH.

I'll have to look into the plugin API, though. I'd have to convert a lot of custom plugins, but that could be a fun weekend distraction.
It would be difficult to get FAA approval to offer cargo delivery services with a large drone due to the risk it would pose to manned light aircraft flying under VFR. They would have to carve out controlled airspace in a specific area and temporarily ban VFR flights there.
"I want to retain my own identity. Therefore the thing I’m most anxious to avoid is any kind of work that can be considered ‘interesting’ in its own right. I want something that can’t possibly touch me. I want some big, swollen corporation that’s been bumbling along making money in its sleep for a hundred years, where they have to hire eight guys for every one job because none of them can be expected to care about whatever boring thing it is that they are supposed to be doing. I want to go into that kind of place and say, Look. You can have my body and my nice college-boy smile for so many hours a day, in exchange for so many dollars, and beyond that we’ll leave each other strictly alone."

- Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road, 1961

I don't wanna go dig through my copy to find it right now, but there's also a pretty long bit where he describes how most of the "work" that most of the "workers" at his (the character, Frank Wheeler's) firm do is making brief comments on various proposals or memos or whatever then sending them off to other people for their comments, trying to avoid being caught with the hot potato and actually having to do whatever's being proposed. They're all very good at it.

Again, written in 1961.

Then you aren't comparing like-for-like. Value in bitcoin represents a disagreement with your consideration of who is "good", in the same way investment in a currency might be seen as confidence in the institutions that back it. You could just as well argue there should only be one monetary currency.

How much effort do credit-rating, fraud etc agencies make? A centralized currency requires trust, which crypto-currencies don't. To compare value, you need to add a price tag to this liability. The lower cost comes from the savings made in not having to secure against the central authority itself.
>They knowingly ignored basic security practices to maximize gain.

Never assume malicious action when inaction gives the same results. It's more likely that the Struts vulnerability was not addressed because it would require development time and effort for a stable, functional system and all resources were dedicated to new features. That's pretty much the default mode in any company without management emphasis to change priorities.
The EU is not "putting down" the UK economically.

And the UK can't really become a major tax haven (too many citizens, it would draw way too many resources from every big country... and too much attention).

Also, 30 kph is practically the top speed for a majority of cyclists - there's a level, narrow, short (200 m), 30-max-speed, all-traffic (except pedestrians) tunnel on my usual route. Do I temporarily reach 30 kph there, in order to be polite and get out of there as fast as possible? Yes, with some difficulty. (Do drivers honk at me for being unbearably slow while going the max legal speed? Yes.)

So, I'd say a typical city scenario is <20 kph, more than halving the estimate.
The UK govt spends a lot of its time rubber stamping EU legislation, which is largely corporatist, not individualist.

I don't have time to give this reply the attention it deserves, but consider that it is now illegal to sell your home made jam in your local charity shop, and it was almost made illegal to tinker with your own motor vehicle. Then there's the never ending torrent of health and safety legislation.

These things aren't intended to destroy individual sovereignty, but that's what they end up doing. Perhaps this sort of thing matters more to the British than other nationals. An Englishman's home is his castle, as they saying goes.

Baltimore wouldn’t give Verizon a cable TV franchise, which is necessary to make the business model work when cable companies sell broadband/TV bundles. A number of buildings in Baltimore actually have FiOS (my apartment did), so Verizon is clearly interested in building there.

In a way, cable cutting will be a huge boon for broadband deployment. Municipalities’ right to regulate technically only extends to cable television service. Historically, most people have wanted cable television as part of the deal. (Almost nobody in my Baltimore apartment actually subscribed to FiOS because they couldn’t offer TV.) But if everybody switches to streaming, that dramatically restricts municipal authority over deployment.

That is the choice made by the company you're doing business with, not the CRA. It's up to them whether or not they feel the need to use CRA info.

> other actors that collect information about me without my permission are advertisement and social media companies.

So those notices from web sites about cookie tracking, or the Terms of Use from social media companies, aren't enough to warn you about information collection? They can't collect it if you don't visit their (or affiliate) sites.

It may have been true in the past, but nowadays pretty much any reputable company has explicit terms and policies related to collection and use of personal data, and you have agreed to those policies by using their services. And non-reputable companies wouldn't care what you wanted one way or another.

> Is that an efficient use of their time in terms of creating value for each other?

Yes. Value is largely subjective. This underpins supply and demand. Things that are in demand are valuable to us, and what's in demand is often subjective.

So although you or someone else may not value things like Snapchat or Facebook, society in the aggregate does. Much in the same way that gold, bitcoin, or a rare painting is "valuable". It's valuable because someone is willing to pay for it.
While I don't think your wrong that these are better solutions, I feel you missed the "Extremely easy" part. Keepass is significantly less user friendly than LastPass/1password. VPSs can be very inaccessible for non-computer savvy people also.
That’s only how it works in right-wing propaganda. In the real world, regulatory agencies closely follow the rules which Congress gives them. When something is delegated to a regulator it’s because Congress didn’t want to deal with it — fast changing, requires a lot of specialist research, etc.

That last is why you need an office in the first place: for problems which are important enough to care, you need experts who are familiar with the field and aren’t working for a party with an interest in the outcome. Experts like having health insurance, paying their mortgages, etc. so you need to be able to offer them jobs, somewhere for them to sit, funding to support research and analysis, etc.

In terms more familiar to HN, your question is like asking why your company needs an IT department when you can hire consultants. I mean, yes, you could just let Gartner and Oracle tell the CEO what to do but it wouldn’t be cheaper.
When starts the ICO? ;-)
Yes, but everyone is aware that we would normally get one vote no more frequently than every 20-30 years on the subject. It has to be after the outcome of Brexit is clear. Which may mean short-term disastrous exit from the EU.

(e.g. while Scottish fishermen have a noisy anti-EU contingent, the fish processing industry relies on EU workers and also mostly exports to the EU due to differences in UK and Continental preferences in seafood. People will need to see the actual consequences resolve before they will change their view.)
So you narrowly redefine theft to not include intellectual property or any non-physical good.

IANAL - but I don't think this would fly in any jurisdiction anywhere. Is this definition specific to a country whose laws I'm not familiar with?

To clarify: I'm surprised this article is on the front page because I find it unlikely there's genuine interest in this (relative to some of the other stuff that's usually on HN) for a number of reasons.

First of all, it's a very short article that pretty much just consists of a list of fairly simple and specific trivia.

Secondly, it's an obvious promo for the author's commercial training services.

And finally the information is not very helpful: the cheatsheet is entirely irrelevant if you understand the React lifecycle because the lifecycle makes it obvious why you can or can't use setState:

* constructor: this is where you initialise a class instance, so obviously this is the one place writing to `this.state` is allowed (this is also the one exception you may want to memorise)

* componentWillMount, componentWillUpdate, componentWillUnmount: these exist to notify the component that rendering/unmounting is about to happen, so it's too late to make any state changes (also componentWillMount is generally discouraged in favour of constructor)

* shouldComponentUpdate, render: these should be side-effect free, so setState is obviously verboten

* componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate: these exist to notify the component rendering is finished, so state manipulation is now acceptable again -- but having setState her is still probably a bad idea because you just finished rendering the current state and it's weird to change the state because of that

* componentWillReceiveProps: this is the one place where it's sensible to call setState in the lifecycle because you have something sensible to react to (i.e. prop changes) but this likely means you have state that is just a representation of props, which again is discouraged

So in other words, you generally should avoid calling setState in lifecycle methods (rather than callbacks or directly setting state in the constructor).

The cheatsheet doesn't provide any of that information. In fact, for the people who would benefit from a cheatsheet of this level of abstraction, a simple picture with the following text on it would be far more useful:

DON'T call setState in lifecycle methods.

DO use this.state in constructors.

EDIT: One exception is componentDidMount because it can be used to make sure the code only gets executed on the client (rather than during server-side rendering). But again, the "article" doesn't include this information either.
A good currency has a stable value, and is fungible. Bitcoin is neither:

The dramatic surge in Bitcoin's value is awful for real commerce. In contrast, a dollar or euro's value changes very little on a day to day or year to year basis. (Inflation is about 4% a year.) You know what a dollar is worth without needing to follow currency markets.

I can exchange a dollar with little overhead. (Hard currency, Visa, Amex, or check.) The time it takes for Bitcoin to settle, and the fees, means that I can not conduct any real commerce with it.

Bitcoin is an experiment. The limited supply made it useful to demonstrate how a cryptocurrency may work; but that ultimately makes it a poor replacement for real currency. The best thing to do is to learn from it and re-apply blockchain elsewhere.
One of the things I don't think it accounts for in talking about the downfall of something like jQuery is that as time goes on, the questions have already been asked.

So of course there's going to be less questions asked about jQuery in 2017 versus 2009, because if I need to figure out how to select elements based on an attribute rather than a class or id, it's already there.
So you're saying there's a chance?

Ask HN: Does the 9th Court Ruling Imply That a Public Endpoint Is Truly Public?
The recent ruling by the 9Th CAP states that a user is not legally (criminally(civil maybe?)) bound by the ToS of a website operator. Does that make a public endpoint that doesn't require authorization (or maybe even one that does) open for use as a user sees fit? That was my reading of the situation now, would you agree disagree?

Most car owners today could save money by owning a different car, reducing the cars in the household or using more public transport.

Owning a car is (for most) not just a necessity, it's an expression of freedom. Being reliant on a car sharing app is not ideal for everyone, esp. families.

> plane ticketing, only works well when limited to North America

And when limited to text. I once saw a demo for a voice chat for ticket orders. It took a full minute for it to tell you the multitude of options for flying 'from the Netherlands to New-York next Monday'. A human assistant can reason on what an acceptable flight may be based on a small set of parameters. A chat bot would need to know every preference in detail, like destination airport, time of day, budget, etc.

No, that's not how it works, sadly. HN is explicitly curated, so some posts get bumped/nerfed by moderators. Also the "natural" rank seems to be a lot more complicated than just upvotes over time.

There are a lot of companies trying to game HN to get more eyeballs. If it were as simple as "number of upvotes per hour" HN would be full of blogspam.

EDIT: Case in point: the link just dropped off the frontpage extremely quickly. I'm guessing a moderator penalised it.
