Self driving cars will eventually be much, much less expensive to own and operate than cards of today. That's assuming there isn't a massive per-mile tax imposed.

I would also guess public transportation will evolve as well. I could see small and medium sized cities getting rid of buses, fixed schedules, and fixed routes and instead deploy a fleet of van-sized vehicles to pick up people on demand. I could see this as being something that gets outsourced to Uber and Lyft. Maybe it will be less expensive and better to just subsidize rides from private companies.
I don't buy into this line of reasoning, because it inverts the relationship. Of course Apple has to hand over access to authorities if there's a lawful reason behind it, just like e.g. a private person has to oblige to a search warrant. But in this case they hand over their infrastructure to an untrusted party in order to conduct business in the first place.

Again, it's not so much about what the firm can actually do with the infrastructure (ideally, it's a black box that only the user can access with the correct key), but what compromise they're willing to make in order to conduct business. Privacy has become a selling point for Apple, and actions like these signal how serious they are about it.
The S&P saw extended significant bear markets in 2007, 2000, 1987, 1980, 1973, 1968. It's naive to think that it won't happen again.

What you are saying is that if I put my money into S&P 500 10 years before I was born, it would match the gains on the same investment in cryptocurrency from 1 year ago.

I think the ultimate goal is to make the "acceptable entry points" so numerous and the variety of acceptable wordings so broad that you can approach the assistant with pretty much any goal you have in mind and it'll walk you through how to accomplish that.

Imagine if this was a realistic conversation with an assistant:

> "Hey Google, I'd like to order a pizza."

> "Sure, what kind?"

> "Let's see... cheese, pepperoni, sausage... and maybe some green pepers?"

> "Alright. What size?"

> "Hmm, so I need to feed 4 people..."

> "Sounds like a large?"

> "Sure, let's go with a large."

> "Alright. There's a Dominos nearby, I can order that for $8.99."

> "Sounds good."

> "Alright, I've ordered your pizza. Expected delivery in 15 minutes."

No need for the human to understand what the "entry point" is, because you can approach the assistant with pretty much _any_ entry point and it'll give you a useful response. We're still not there yet, unfortunately, and I think it'll be quite a while before we are.

Around Istanbul cats everywhere are a common sight. There's the Kedi documentary that was recently showing internationally that talks about them at lenght. I can't read the article because of the paywall (and no I won't subscribe for reading one single article, why these sites do not have the option to buy access to one article only?---even though I'm not really that interested in this particular one), but can kind of guess what it is about. Cats in public spaces adapt very nicely and usually do not make any trouble. They also attract many people, giving the cafe an image of a nice, cozy place. If I was running a cafe, I'd definitely have a couple of them.

Is it use it or lose it type flights?

I didn't even notice the private terminal stuff (didn't get that far). I thought it was some type of group buying thing on big carriers like Delta, etc.

Private terminal is a huge win. I know some friends who want to live in LA but work remotely in SF. 1-2 flights a month in a private terminal for this pricing seems like a steal especially when you can shave off terminal/travel time at big airports.

This could be awesome for companies and employees. I could see a company having a remote employee in LA but wanting have a face to face meeting in the next 24 hours. Tickets would be super expensive but if you had a plan like this you could just fly them in fast. And if you needed more flights you could always book commercial.
Here's some of my recent thoughts on this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15481143

I feel that visual programming as it exits now is merely scratching the surface of possibilities. I want to watch my code come alive as I write it.

Granted, I realize this is as much of a tooling problem as it is one of language/compiler design. Then again, I tend to view the blurring of the two as inexorable in such a context.

>Or should I just give up on language design and compilers and get a life.

These don't have to be mutually exclusive. That said, prioritize yourself first.

>If most of your experience was with statically typed systems, it's just logical you would have very little experience with bugs that are prevented by statically typed systems

And then, when I used a dynamically typed language (Python) for serious stuff for the first time, I didn't miss those checks. Sincerely, the great majority of those "bugs that are prevented by statically typed systems" are bugs that only a novice programmer would make.

Moreover, a dynamically typed language with strong typing (Python & and many others) would prevent those bugs anyway; the only difference is that the check is done at runtime, not at compile-time. You do need to test the system at runtime anyways (no matter what language), so it isn't a big deal.

It's only dynamically typed languages with WEAK typing the ones that give "dynamically typed" a bad name. (In)famous examples: Javascript and PHP. Perhaps your experience of dynamically typed languages has been with Javascript?

On the other hand think about the positives: all the terrestrial traffic and distributed refueling and service infrastructure that might no longer be needed; it would revolutionize everything from personal transportation to shipping and logistics. And yeah it would require a vastly enhanced and much more autonomous traffic control system.
> The problem is it's really hard to shrink concrete.

A better summary in one line than most essays on the topic.

We've put together a system that's unstable in the face of even modest shrinkage - and in some cases a mere failure to grow. The result is that even non-crisis change, like people moving to take better jobs, creates crisis results in shrinking cities.

In the short term, promoting growth is probably an inescapable part of the solution. But if we keep up the pattern of debt-financing expansion by planning for growth, we're never going to do better than deferring the crisis.

Long term, we need to build financially-stable cities and work out actual strategies for managed decline. 'Shrinking' and 'failing' are equivalent today, but that pattern needs to be broken if we're going to get out of crisis mode.
I've always thought that with dogs being domesticated is like a job. Sometimes it's a good job and you get to hang out with good people doing fun stuff. Other times it's a crap job and the boss will either forgot to pay you or beat you with a stick.

With cats on the other hand domestication is like a room you rent out at a house when you're college. The people there might be cool - the rent is so low it might as well be free and most of the time they don't care if you steal their food. In the back of the cat's head (and I think this is true for the most pampered domesticated cat in the world) is the knowledge that it's a place to crash and if things get too weird they can always bail out.

From that point of view I tend to give cats a lot more leeway. I mean a cat doesn't really have to pop over onto my lap and let me scratch it's head. It's the one putting itself out there in a reasonably genuine way.

Dogs though I'm always a bit suspicious of because popping over to have their had scratched? That's their job. Maybe they like me but it's like when you go to McDonald's and the person behind the counter smiles and asks you if you want fries with that as if you're the best person in the world.
Size is nice but I see nothing to support claims of performance improvements and React performance is rarely a problem in most apps anyhow (data manipulation and JSON serialization are usually an order of magnitude more impactful).

Also understanding why it’s better vs Preact/etc would be useful. The readme is quite lacking on why it should be used other than it’s React compatible.

Seems clever though.

Would you please stop posting political rants to HN? Assuming you're 100% right, it doesn't justify the damage of taking HN threads into flamewar red. Moreover such discussions are always all the same, which means they don't gratify intellectual curiosity, which means they're off topic here.

It's complicated, of course, when the topic is itself politicized. But it's possible—and because possible, necessary—to discuss it without getting either generic or uncivil.

You've posted some excellent comments but I also see quite a few in which you've taken swipes at the person or comment you're replying to. That's against the rules here. We have these rules because of long experience with what fosters discussion quality and what degrades it.

Over 25 years in front of screen so here is my recipie:

* flicker-free matte IPS screen

* keeping optimal room light and screen dim

* flux or redshift on linux

* doing frequent breaks and finishing work earlier when I feel eyes may suffer, also intentionally blinking more often to rehydrate them naturally.

* try to not rub eyes with hands, if you need then wash them first.

* habit of changing position and looking at the distance while in thought process

* keeping healthy humidity in the room, especially while room heating or air-con is on.

On TODO list:

* some intelligent audio notification once some long running terminal command finishes or screen updates, possibly paired with webcam to detect my absence.

* switching between dark IDE/terminal theme and usually bright browser pages hurts my eyes, therefore I usually stick to bright themes. Maybe color inversion limited to browser would solve that.

Europe’s problem with tech investment isn’t because of existing big tech players.
Sorry if this is OT, but these types of contests exist! I went to one of these[1] maybe two years ago in Stockholm and I had a blast. I think the format was 32 people competing, 8 on stage at a time being shown a design which they had 15 minutes to mimic without previewing, then the crowd voted for winners using their smartphones. Two winners from each group of 8 went on to the finals. The competitors screens were mirrored on screens facing the crowd, so everyone could see how people tackled the problem in real-time. One guy did an ASCII representation of the design, which the crowd enjoyed enough to send him to the finals.

A large audience, smoke machine and lots of lasers, hard techno, and free beer. They did an amazing job setting the mood. They even have their own IDE[2] that everyone competing is required to use (with combo-counter and cool rave-y visual effects).

Maintaining your detached building isn't free, and condos are typically a feature of denser, closer-in land where a similar quality detached house would cost considerably more.
It not only saves time, but it conveys importance and eliteness - access and precious time. I don't mean that in a bad way, I think it's a good thing.
First, we didn't do that.[1] Second, the telecoms were already privatized, so what the 90s were about was deregulation, which is different. Third, while it's true that privatization (as well as deregulation) requires oversight, it's been quite successful in other countries in the transit sector. Japan's transit sector is highly privatized, for example, and mostly unsubsidized. The EU has called for deregulation of rail service by 2020: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-strike/rail-strike....

This is also the behaviour of the App Store preferences in version 10.13.1
The chance of a personal project building a large community are quite slim regardless of the license.

Chances are a personal OSS project will only attracts a few dozen users and maybe a handful of contributors (contributing mostly small bug fixes) with the creator as the only real developer/maintainer.

There is also a good chance that the maintainer will only contribute from time to time after the initial "dev sprint", if it doesn't abandon the project all together.

Basically the bus factor for such projects is 0. If you are relying on one of them, you should be aware that you may have to maintain a fork on your own in the future.

Given this state of things, I prefer having permissive licenses (ex: MIT) on my projects. It's a way for me to give complete freedom about what you do/want to do with my piece of code (piece of code that I may have abandon but is still useful to you). You can fork it and keep the fork OSS or you can include it inside the source tree of your product and maintain it that way, the later being generally easier.

And they are somehow managing to do so currently without licences.

One thing to consider is how much effect licensing has on car safety anyway. Mexico city has no test requirement at all, you just pay for permission to drive rather than sitting any test, while Peru has more road deaths per capita, despite needing a practical test, written test and medical certificate before you get behind the wheel.
I'm constantly tempted by Surf Air as I've lived as close as 2mi from San Carlos airport (KSQL!) and now live 6mi from it, and my parents live 2 miles from Palomar Airport (KCRQ) which is a good 30 minute drive (in GOOD traffic; their commute traffic often puts the Bay Area to shame). Even with the slower flying time it would save me hours. Unfortunately, I don't "commute", so it's hard to justify a price nearing $2k a month.
I like that these options exist, though, in case (god forbid) we find ourselves in a family health situation where regular trips become required.
You are correct in pointing out that it doesn't have much to do with the rest of my argument. I posed it as a question because I think a lot of the opinions around this issue (like many or most issues) stem from emotions. In this case I think this argument comes from a sense of fairness: motorists have to pay tax / have insurance / pass a test; so why shouldn't cyclists? I think if you consider whether we would even be asking that question if there were no motorists, you can get around the "fairness" point of view.
The Airtrain is the worst though, it's slow, and narrows to one lane while crossing the freeway (so you have to wait for trains to pass), it's excruciating to take if you're worried about being late for a flight. And it costs $5.50. Which is about what a taxi from the NJT station to the airport should cost.
