I wish they instead built more airports within each city linked by short high speed rail lines. LAX is overcrowded and getting to it is a nightmare in any traffic (which is most the time). The traffic within the airport drop off circle is also ridiculous.

Imagine an LAX2 and LAX3 in different parts of the city with short high speed links between them.

Airports cost (only) about $10 billion to make. And each could be smaller with probably only 1 runway.

Ask HN: Mozilla Persona Post-Mortem
As far as I can tell, the demise of Mozilla Persona has left a vacuum in terms of user-controlled identity solutions. Why did Persona fail? What else is happening in this area? What's coming up on the horizon?
Maybe a bit of all the above! Like the Google Cardboard it also shows that fun can be relatively low-cost, customizable, and simple.

Perhaps. What I mean is, the session id as a bearer token for example can still be insecure even if sent via https. For example, if PHP scripts use $_REQUEST and session_start() uses the id sent in $_GET from GPC. So you can have session fixation attacks. However, if you additionally require devices to sign all requests with their private key (stored in IndexedDB for the domain and not exportable) then Web Crypto can help mitigate many classes of attacks, including session fixation and CSRF. (It can even increase security over http without https, even though it's an academic point.)

Today we wrote up an article about this, actually, referencing your guide:

It goes into more detail about all this.
If you or I decided we just didn't like the tax rate that applied to us and didn't pay our taxes for decades at a time on income we made overseas, what do you think would happen?

Corporations are treated as people only when it's convenient.

You and I don't have high-powered lawyers, lobbyists, loopholes, offshore accounts, subsidiaries, etc to hide behind.

This is an insult to every U.S. citizen...Apple wouldn't exist if it weren't for the U.S. and its tax-payers providing the environment that allowed Steve Jobs to create his company and become successful.

The rate they're being charged on this money is even lower than the new lower rate that they'll be charged on future income. Must be nice. Yay for corporate oligarchy.
Somebody clearly wanted to cut BSD out of things... And succeeded.

Also, while the Linux devs failing to honour the embargo ended up being a quite public and problematic thing, I _seriously_ doubt some of the other OS vendor dev teams didn't talk about the problem out of school - and I strongly suspect state-actors and blackhats have pipelines of information on security problems being worked on at Microsoft, Apple, Google, and many other big players. Overenthusiastic devs at local bars/cafes, boastful or bignoting devs online, or disgruntled employees/ex-employees, they are almost certainly targeted by both blackhat and state level actors.

I'm pretty sure a security problem of this magnitude, requiring remediation work my this many different teams, work which took six months or more of planning and executing - could not _possibly_ have stayed completely unknown externally right up to the agreed embargo date. People just don't work that way.
Every B2B company must ultimately increase their customers' profits. Every B2C company must ultimately create some desirable emotional state in its users. Whether or not you think of these as "problems" or not is an unimportant matter of semantics.
And what about Mitch "We'll oppose any bill put before us, even if it's good for the country (yes, he actually said that), in order not to let Obama have any victories" McConnell?

That wasn't a failing of Sales, that was an opposition who was willing to harm themselves, and the country, to not give any leeway.
Nintendo Labo turns homemade models into interactive toys 'like cardboard Lego'
Of course not, but that doesn't mean you should take a well-timed and carefully worded press release at face value.

Let's see what actually lands in whose bank accounts before we raise the praise flags.
I like that idea. The links between each could double as public transportation for all, just include connections with existing metro stations. It would encourage the city to build around each of those nodes: put one in West LA, one DTLA, and one in the Valley, improve the one in Inglewood. The 405 from LAX to West LA and the 10 from West LA to DTLA are among two of the worst stretches in the country.

Though, people in for eg. West LA would have fits over the idea of airplanes flying over their sacred lands.
> I very much doubt it would have survived as long as it has as a technology if it were a net energy loss.

Most of the assessments I have seen generally always show that bio-ethanol is a net loss. Only subsidies keep it afloat.

None of the bio-* will make any sense until we have a lot more renewable electricity on the grid. At that point, producing bio-* will basically become an energy storage solution and a way to soak up excess energy production that you couldn't store any other way.
He should have read one of the many biographies of LBJ where they go into considerable detail on his career of getting impossible things through Congress.

All he needed was to peel off a couple GOP Congressman - surely he could have found a way to do that given 50 of them. Political parties are never a solid block of commitment, there are always waverers and members who can be manipulated with the right carrots.

As I mentioned in the antecedent, he made serious persuasion mistakes in dealing with the GOP that pretty much guaranteed failure.

Obama's first step would be to accept responsibility for the task, rather than blaming the GOP. Blaming the GOP only served to diminish Obama's political capital.

(Remember Clinton outmaneuvered the GOP with the "Contract with America". Obama could have consulted with Clinton.)
How machine learning and computer vision will transform our cities
Maybe in the US. In Germany I've been stunned at how thriving the flea market is for used clothes, especially baby and toddler clothing. In my town, there are two major flea markets on a weekly basis. Every neighborhood in town will have at least one yearly "Hofflohmarkt" (courtyard flea markets) and there are countless smaller and specialized flea markets organized by local kindergardens and churches.

The amount of high-quality pieces of clothings bought and sold is staggering. For baby clothes, in particular, pieces that have been worn once or twice, easily worth 15-20 euros selling for 50c a pop.

I compare this to the experience of my siblings raising their kids in the US and the general difference in mentality to second-hand clothes is shocking. I'll admit to being (culturally) shocked when my partner first suggested buying "used" clothes on our newborn but we've must of easily saved 1000s of Euros on children clothing, without sacrificing quality. It blows my mind. This mass flea-market system should be much more prevalent imo.
I don't think it's that we don't want used clothes anymore. It's that the thrift stores are so greedy that we would barely save any money shopping there. It used to be every shirt that came through was $3 which should've been fine because the stuff is literally handed to places like GoodWill. THEN someone decided they could make more money if they marked up name brand stuff. Now they want $20 for an American Eagle t-shirt when I could go to American eagle and buy it for $25. Screw that. That's the problem it has nothing to do with us not wanting it. I shop there all of the time and I am constantly turning down stuff because it's too expensive now.
Apple to MAGA.
Yeah, pretty darn clever. With a camera you can do rotary encoders and all sorts of other awesome tricks too.

Nintendo really seems to be hitting their stride with the switch.

Fairly simply, many investors see corporate longevity, while paying smaller, more reliable dividends as their best interest. Doing so could easily be orthogonal to "maximizing profits".
As a native English speaker, we have the same problem. Piquant is used to describe the heat although most people aren't familiar with it. "Capsaicin feeling" is often referred to as well.

The other way around. The cost to use Amazon never works out once hit more than a handful of high workload systems. I write out the proposal for our C levels every quarter and the increased cost of going to Amazon is enough to hire 2 full time level 1 sysadmins.

Edit: This obviously is super variable. If you have a low load worldwide need AWS will win. Or rapid bursts of traffic. Or hundreds of other scenarios where it makes sense. It is not a one size fits all solution though.

This looks really neat, if a bit expensive. Despite owning a Switch, I can't see myself buying either kit. Maybe when more information becomes available I'll reconsider. Admittedly, I might not be in the target demographic. Although on the other hand, most Switch owners that I know are male adults.

I like anything that gets kids to play around with building stuff. Even when you're just following instructions, you get a sense of accomplishment. I'm sure after building a couple of these cardboard toys some kids will start wanting to experiment with their own creations too. Although if my limited experiences with kids are anything to go by, you'll probably need to buy a couple cardboard replacements in order to survive prolonged contact with children.

It's also a fairly innovative. I genuinely hadn't considered something like this as a possibility. Have other console developers done anything similar?
Make sure you load up on mathematics, in both pure and applied. Try to find work where you'll either be immersed in statistical models or have the freedom to experiment with them.

Capital markets such as equities trading will probably be the best place to look for work experience.

End of the conference era?
And, I'm going to guess, not having children.
Exactly. Essentially English co-opted umami as a stand-in for glutamate-y which, we can probably agree is an aesthetic improvement. It's at least arguably a subset of savory but as I commented earlier there are clearly meanings of savory in cooking/baking that have no relationship to umami as the term is used in English.
As far as I know expanding BART past Millbrae failed long ago because of peninsula communities not wanting it in their backyard (I guess NIMBY-ism..).

If it takes one thousand gallons of gasoline to produce 10 thousand gallons of ethanol, then it could be a net win by requiring less gasoline production later or something.

But I have no clue how the numbers actually work out.

Almost 20 years later, I'm still following and intrigued by the homebrew scene and I take my hat off in particular to emulator developers... but I get to do embedded/microcontroller development in my day job, and that's enough difficulty for me. ;)
> In fact quite the opposite since it just got a massive tax revenue increase.

Nah, they capitulated and accepted a far lower rate than they should have received otherwise if Apple (and companies like them) weren't permitted to play these shifty legal games.

If the U.S. gov was really looking out for its own interests and the interests of its citizens, it would have closed these loopholes years ago and told Apple to go pound sand going forward.

Pay your taxes or get slammed with massive fines and be barred from selling product in the U.S. until your tax bill is paid.

Not many markets can afford their products, see how they like it when the country whose resources and laws allowed them to become so successful becomes off limits to them.
economically a net loss or ecologically?

I sort of assume both, but I'd like to hope for one of them.
Oh, to be plagued by people showing you a zero-barrier-to-entry method to increase your revenue. The absolute rascals.
I can't argue with sunk costs and future constructions costs. You're right about those. I'm just relaying my experiences using Amtrak along the Northeast Corridor, which I find to be far superior to the equivalent air travel.

Your post lacks substance so it's hard to respond to (you criticize it as 'over engineered', not rally something I know how to respond to).

One obvious concrete benefit of serverless is not managing infrastructure.
You are right. Sorry about that one.
Partner worked in two s/h bookshops OZ/UK. The painful part is when they are amateur, and don't deal fairly with you over your own stocking and shelving policies. Leaving a trail of badly re-shelved books behind is trashing your farm. The good part is that you wise up and realize you have to do more input work on your stock to price it, if you don't want to become part of the wholesale chain. Or, learn to live with it and accept a different profit model.

Now me, as a customer? I walked out of one shop here in brisbane when I found a treasure (architects drawings from pugins practice, neoclassical sketches of British buildings) and they refused to honour the written price which was (I acknowledge) undervaluing the book, but none the less reflected what somebody had thought the book was worth, righ up until I decided to buy it. Yes, this is strictly illegal. its also impossible to police in practice. I should have reported them, I just decided never to shop there again.

Ex seller of huge numbers of books (we're kindle now. books are dirty and feed roaches in the tropics) -I salt the valuable ones in amongst the trash, because I want you, the book buyer, to buy the box not the ones you want of high worth. There have to be a lot of high worth books, to make it worth my time to sort them out, and I'm left with the remove-the-trash problem I was motivated with in the first place.

This is the deal: you buy all my books and I accept I get less than high water mark price for the jewels, but I do get my shelves emptied.
Take a look at European high speed rail prices. They act similarly to airline prices, increasing close to departure to high levels.

Oh, huh, I didn't even realize. I do wonder how far the two codebases have diverged (especially with the recent "Better Together" update on Bedrock). Kind of a shame MakeCode doesn't work on Java Edition, since that's where I invested my time.
That's not the difference at all, it is invested in corporate debt (much of it from US companies) and giant amounts of US Treasuries. Even the people that manage it do so from the US.

The difference is purely in accounting, they keep that money on a different line of their balance sheet and are unable to use it for domestic expenses without paying tax on it.

Most of the money isn't going to move at all after they repatriate it (they'll actually sell Treasuries to pay... the Treasury!). No part of "bringing back" the money will result in more money being invested in the US--it's already invested here!
I bought 10 or so of the original Trackman wheel back when I discovered it stopped my hand hurting (assuming, correctly, that they would stop making them at some point). I still have 2-3 of them new in the box. I have mostly switched to the wireless variant which as you note is ok. I don't like that it steals a USB port though: I would prefer it use Bluetooth, even if that made it 2x the price.
Guess what, downloading compiled executable code is even faster. Is that where we are heading to? Flash 2.0? Wouldn't it be great to save all the electric power that was used to compile very same code on millions of computers every day?
Thanks for your personal perspective. So slowly some picture arises in my mind that not being alone for a really long time per se is the real problem in solitary confinement (which I am still really sure that it by tself would not be a problem for me - which does not imply that this holds for other people, too), but rather the other additional circumstances of the "solitary jail life" which are mitigated for "ordinary prisoners".
You are confusing the Federal government with the CA state government.
Kinda sidenote, but I find it funny how an simple innocent question like "how much memory does app x use" has no easy answers. This is further complicated when the application in question runs in multiple processes
> there's no law, not even Canada that would allow me to choose a peaceful ending date for my own

Canada is getting there. Slowly. For those not in the loop...

Since 2016, medically assisted death in Canada has been available in some circumstances. (Previous to that, arranging or participating in such a death may have been considered homicide which put doctors and families at risk.) The "Carter case" helped get this through courts and parliament.

Our current legislation still requires patients to have a "grievous and irremediable medical condition" (this is not liberal enough, yet, for some), with more than one doctor supporting the assisted death (this is apparently not difficult to find), and a reflection period for the patient (seems reasonable).

So the next battle is apparently to eliminate requirement for a patient to have a "grievous and irremediable medical condition". That's being challenged by courts in BC by the BC Civil Liberties Association under the "Lamb case". https://bccla.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/2016-06-27-Noti...

So the Canadian situation has improved immensely in the last couple of years but not for everyone yet. I hope you (and everyone) will eventually find death on your own terms without resorting to feeling like you're doing something "wrong" and without having to criminally implicate supportive family and friends.

Aside: I've worked with the BCCLA in the past and IMO they have long been a challenger of unjust and uncivilized laws for all Canadians. So if you forsee their fight(s) benefitting yourself or your loved ones then I encourage you to volunteer or donate or otherwise support them. Moral advancement is the goal.

BTW, just as the Dems made a mistake in not getting any Reps on board with Obamacare, the Reps made a mistake in not getting any Dems on board with the tax cut.

Of course, dubbing the bill "Obamacare" was a virtual guarantee of no Republican support. The Dems should have worked hard to name it something more inclusive (and more catchy than "Affordable Care Act"). Marketing matters!
This implies to me that you never do anything besides walk from your air-conditioned home, to your air-conditioned transportation, to your air-conditioned destination.

Hobbies sometimes benefit from different clothing - playing sports, hiking activities, water activities, layers for UV protection or heat insulation, 'work' clothes for getting dirty in a garden or painting a house, etc.
Both your numerator and your divisor are incorrect. The 2 million number is "creating and supporting", i.e. not direct Apple employees. The 123k number is "full-time equivalent", i.e. "total number of hours worked by employees / 40", where 2 employees @ 20 hours/week = 40 hours = 1 full-time equivalent. So actual full-time employees might be a small portion of the 123k, due to the workforce ofApple retail stores, etc.
Assuming 640 billion passenger-miles of air travel, the railway still makes rational sense.

Once the land is purchased, levelled, and conditioned you now have a space that can have trains running on it for the next fifty, one hundred, or more years. Look at the UK's railway lines, some of them have been operating for two hundred years and counting.

This type of short term thinking is why infrastructure spending in the US is at an all time low. Instead of spending for tens of years into the future, we only evaluate the costs relative to the next five years and therefore make decisions more valuable to tomorrow than next week.

Once CA buys this route, they own this route forever. And in a state gaining more and more people every day, cutting out land for infrastructure is only going to get more painful in time.
The laws of thermodynamics alone lead me to suspect that that's probably not the case.
