And CodeWeavers, who were the first to reliably support Microsoft Office in the early 2000s. [1] They used to contribute a lot back to Wine (they probably still do). I think that Transgaming actually forked Wine before it became GPL-licensed. IIRC they were also not really contributing much back (at least in the Cedega times).

[1] This was a screenshot of my machine in 2004, running Microsoft Office under Wine under NetBSD's Linux emulation:

Some of the ARCOs, Alliances, and other small labels are cash/debit only, and their prices are typically $0.20/gal less because of it. You're right, though, they're a tiny minority. All the majors (Chevron/Shell/Valero/76) take credit cards, and you won't have trouble finding one.

You're probably not thinking adversarially. Most of us aren't. Most of us love all the features of technology.

However, there are bad apples in society, seeking shortcuts through taking from others and harming them. And there are guardians in society, constantly looking for vectors that a baddie can cause harm to protect them.

One emerging vector is the combination of market data to target individuals for threat and harm. E.g. you piss someone or a group off, whether by insulting them, simply the act of driving or eating meat, supporting a political party they don't, etc. Then, that person or group purchases batches of insufficiently anonymized marketing data, combines them to narrow down to your profile and uses it to hunt you down.

E.g. restaurants. Someone could buy location, restaurant and driving data, filter by several clues they discover about you, then stake out locations where you'll be.

Now that I've explored the personal-revenge factor, consider a different type of threat: economic survival. An adversarial corporation could use details about your psychology gleaned from timing information, nutrition profile, age, DNA/race, internet comments to influence you and larger groups in unethical ways, such as encouraging you to live unhealthy lifestyles, presenting carefully selected news items - not to harm you necessarily, but to perpetuate their own gain at your cost.

And this doesn't even have to happen to you personally. It can happen to targeted groups estimated to have vulnerabilities in any domain: middle-class, new home-owners, teen-agers. And the baddies' efforts all increase in efficacy the more information we leak.

So stop giving away all your information!

I was interviewed in 2017 and treated like shit, and by that I mean the worst professional experience in my life.

Something is up with SF Bay Area corporate culture. There are many taboos -- things you just don't do -- which I only saw broken in my career once I arrived in the Bay Area.
Some people would, sure. You'd expect that in a free market, right? Part of the point of all this is that the market we have now is very, very far from free: vast areas of our cities are zoned exclusively for single family homes.

My 'job' could be working for myself. I could be my own boss farming my land. But that shit is hard labour and requires heaps of attention, knowledge, and early mornings. Right now it's easier for me to work for someone else, take a slice of my output (in currency) from my boss and then use that to buy the stuff I really need; food, energy, clothing, and so on.

You see, if I can be self sufficient I don't need a job with a boss. My so-called job could be farming my land and I could use automation to make that basically trivial and escape the desk job that consumes nearly every waking hour of my adult life.

This is just one simplistic way of looking at what I am talking about. My overall point is that having a vision of using automation to free up fractions of your workplace dominated day is missing a trick. We should be finding ways of freeing up that 8hr a day time-suck. Automating menial chores around the house is a distraction from the real goal.
If the public defenders had not somehow turned him against using them, he would have had at least one capital-qualified attorney from that office working his case in conjunction with the private lawyer. We're not privy to the details, but I think the likely scenario is that they were just telling him what they were going to do and ignoring his input. His input may have been cuckoo crazypants, but they still have a professional ethical obligation to take that into account. I.e. when the client says "no guilty plea", the lawyer has to discard all strategies that involve an admission of guilt.

It's probably all because his preferred strategy was 99% likely to result in a guilty verdict, with capital punishment.

As I have learned from movies and television, sometimes the defendant demands that all the obvious winnable strategies are completely off the table, and their attorney then has to be incredibly clever, to not only secure a not guilty verdict, but also uncover the real killer by forcing them to admit guilt on the witness stand. This guy's lawyer maybe watched too many of those shows, and thought admitting guilt was actually the clever courtroom twist that would lead to the happy ending?

The attorney has an obligation to act in the interests of their client. When the client is issuing instructions to the attorney that are apparently contrary to their own interests, does the lawyer do what they say they want or do what the professional believes they need?
I agree mainly. However, it really does improve everyone's quality of life if you buy your coffee from someone who is running their own little business and wants you to come back. It makes England (in my case) seem a bit more like France, which always seems to have had a society better balanced in favour of the normal citizen, rather than The Man. If it isn't an economically sustainable, then we should strive to change the rules so that it is.

All those things can be done locally on the phone only and without any server-side data processing. Without investigating into Google/Android terms of use I can bet they are NOT done locally (I might be wrong, this is a guess).

Ultimately it’s the consumer’s choice whether you want to buy your personal mobile device from a company that makes+sells phones for a living or from a company the sells ads for a living (no bad feeling against ads) and also makes+sells phones on the side to augment those ads.
I totally support this move by Amazon and Apple. My hope is Microsoft/Google/Facebook would follow. There is a desperate need for larger tech companies to move away from Bay Area/Seattle and expand into other cities which actually may have cheaper housing and where life may not feel such a challenge, specially for folks with dependents and families.
Mass transit is NOT needed. Flat land without rivers blocking flow of traffic is all thats needed
Similarly been using it on Arch for a few years. Looks like they only advertise downloads for Ubuntu and Fedora on their sites, but in the end they're just deb and rpm files. And in the end deb and rpms are just archives of files.

I guess snaps, flatpak, etc remove the step of needing someone to make a package or otherwise work out the dependencies and steps needed to install it on a given other distro, but chances are non-deb/rpm based distros either have their own maintaners that do these things, or the users are happy to work it out themselves.

Technologies like snaps do solve the issue of developers having to think about supporting different distros, but they add extra overhead too. I'd rather they just provide a tar and a list of dependencies and use a package from AUR myself.
Favorite bumper sticker: "JESUS SAVE ME (From all your followers)".

Just like with the beatitudes, if Freedom Market™ cultists read Adam Smith for themselves, maybe we'd have somewhat more productive discourse.

FWIW, what I gleened from this "rewriting" is Adam's warnings about 'spirit of the system'. Rings true. As a recovering methodologist and self-proclaimed agent of change, humiliated by repeated failures (a la Alistair Cockburn), I wish younger me had grasped this sooner.

Nothing new under the sun.

As a first-order approximation, all currencies in history have ultimately disappeared or stopped working as currencies, from Roman denarii to Italian Florins to Brazilian Cruzeiros to Rwandan Dollars to Venezuelan Bolivares.[a]

Currently there are 190+ countries on earth, most of which have their own currency. Only a fairly small number of those currencies are widely considered stable. The rest are probably destined for the dustbin of history.

What exactly is Flatpak?
That's not nearly enough space, the whole thing is 3m square feet with 2/3 of it leased out. Amazon currently has over 8m occupied in Seattle with millions more currently being built.
You stalkin’ me, bro? :-) You’re not wrong, though. I saved my allowance to buy 2112 on vinyl, and I bet it has been a good twenty years since I’ve seen an actual example of misconfigured terminals in the field spitting out ^H where a BS was supposed to be. (Though it just now occurred to me that more recent times when I’ve seen it, maybe the person posting wasn’t being facetious.)
I believe it might have something to do with sizing down/padding of the parent elements that attempt to contain the out of spec characters.
I have heard a theory that goes something like this: China spends massive amounts on propaganda yet everyone believes that China's economy is about to crash and the society is about to fall apart. Are they grossly incompetent? No. China wants the declining western powers to underestimate its rise and strength as cunning way of avoiding conflict until its outcome is certain. Make of it what you will.

Having travelled to China a few times over the past two decades, I have witnessed the economic growth with my own eyes and it is quite real. That of course does not mean that any number coming out of China is real and that there are not big inbalances whoes correction is overdue.

The cynical view on this is your currency to an extent is not only backed by your economy but also by economic resource you can take by force which in case of US is ... I obviously do not want to simplify this to a single factor of mil. power but it's definitely an important aspect.
If getting shit done fast is your goal, then you are gonna get burned, and I have very little sympathy for you. We should be focusing in getting shit done solid. If it's such a big deal that something works, why build unstable systems in the first place?

A Quick Update on Non-Blocking Hash Map
Why complete secrecy? The person whose vote you are purchasing doesn't even have to know which way their ballot is being used -- they can simply sign it and drop it off at the designated location, or, more feasibly, just scan the signed unfilled ballot and send it to the address they were given in exchange for some Bitcoins or something. The signature isn't a cryptographic one that contains a hash of the votes, it's just an image that can be copied.

Both Tammany Hall and the Cook County Democratic Machine extensively used vote purchasing in addition to ballot stuffing and voter intimidation. Those are just the best documented cases; there have long been rumors of ballot purchasing and intimidation on the part of large unions.

As for the relevant law, you sound more knowledgeable than I am in this field, so I'll grant that enforcing the laws is part of what made some forms of voter fraud less possible, but even a cursory glance at the text of the act shows that it is a mix of definitions of crimes and structural remedies, like keeping rolls of electors and permitting access to polling places.
Premiere Pro CC when? :(

This. Compiling C++ would be a lot faster if you made the developer manually expand all the templates into tedious boilerplate before starting the compiler, but it's not a good tradeoff to make.

As stated in another comment (which links to a transcript by the author with ~two dozen cited sources), this isn't staff on the train, but calculated by breaking down Amtrak's headcount of 20K people, and amortizing it over the number of annual trips and passengers.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16179794 Result is ~1 employee per 4 passengers per trip.

The author has some other really interesting (with cited sources) videos about many other transit topics, including how hub-and-spoke/direct played out in the aircraft marketplace, how budget airlines have such great profit margins, long haul aircraft economics, airline schedule methodology, etc.
As a millennial, incentives for me would be a well paying job market for my career, diversity of food options, accessible outdoor activities, and an efficient metro system. Though one could get all that by living somewhere cheaper in the suburbs but sacrificing time to commute to work in this dense metropolis. Also, I do appreciate having a reasonable front/back yard. Maybe its an outdated feeling, but owning land that you can do almost anything with is empowering.

I personally would not mind living in this hypothetical place while I am young, but I would definitely not want to stay there in the mid-long term.

If you can clarify some things, I'm happy to give it a shot.
1) What language is your project
2) After it builds, do you want to store a copy of the build anywhere?
3) Do you want to use any particular system for deploying the build to the servers?

Ask HN: Can my company sue me, if I use a patent I signed to them?
While working at a company, they patented one of my HackWeek projects. Now if I want to start a company that uses some of the elements of the project that was patented, can/will I be in trouble?
I remember being affected by this too a few years ago. It's not something I thought to check and update often. I was disappointed that I was never emailed or otherwise notified by the change.
maybe large companies shouldn't be able to own patents.
Needs "(1993)" in the title going on that use of "like".
So how does it work on ARM processors? Does it emulate an x86 processor, or does it only support Windows ARM executables?
The sad thing is, I'd bet that the developer first turned in something like what you've written, but was then asked to "make it more complex".

I'd like to see a satire done in a code-golf style: you think writing a line to a file in Python is easy? Think again, after you read this 400-character line of lambdas, string interpolation, and chained ternary operators!

Assembly code could be made to look like the sane alternative at the (il)logical extreme.
If necessary, it wouldn't be too expensive for Amazon to partner with an airline to sponsor/subsidize more frequent flights between Seattle and their HQ2 city - for airlines the difference between an axed money losing route and a money making route can be in the low five figures or even less. Airlines have done these kinds of deals before.
Wealthy people do that all the time. It is called "Living in downtown New York".

The high prices of living in the city prove that people actually prefer to live in high density places.

Why else would they be willing to pay so much money to live there if they didn't like it?
>Actually it's possible to represent 1/3 perfectly accurately

I'm curious, how?
Even from the perspective of personal preference, I think it's fair to say that, at least in the US, there is a wide variety of sparse cities for people to choose from, and only a few actually dense cities. This leaves those preferring density at a relative disadvantage.

Unrelated: it's unclear to me how self-driving cars can help pollution. They're a solution to the problem of the high cost of labor, and not much else. If anything, self-driving cars will make it cheaper for everyone to ride cars everywhere, and so people will more often ride cars everywhere, and more pollution will be the result.
It's really simplistic and naive of you to take what you hear on the media as truth. It's only "widely regarded" because Uber is under heavy scrutiny, because of the industry we operate in.

Right. It's not as if journalism has been a paragon of ethics and civic mindedness of late.
Well Amazon said it was needed in the RFP... "Direct access to rail, train, subway/metro, bus routes"
Ballots can easily be voided, and election officials are usually present at the point where the ballot is fed into the machine (at least in the states where I've voted), making it hard to maintain a video trail from marking the ballot through submitting it.

Still, clearly, if you are assuming that voters are lazy, then you can probably do fairly well purchasing votes, and there's some limited evidence that this occurs in modern elections, though it's hard to judge the scale.
Sadly, HN has a fetishe over Venezuela.
I don't think it is some decision or planning that leads to this. New York is so dense because it is geographically constrained, and as the city grew it had no where to expand out to, so it had to become more dense to grow. Los Angeles, on the other hand, was created as smaller cities grew outward and connected to each other.

They are both successful in growth for different reasons, but their density was determined by geography, not by 'what people enjoy'.

If face recognition all along every city street, and face recognition as a requirement to enter all buildings is cool, then I don't ever want to be cool.

Between the face recognition, and the "social credit score" shit going on in China, I really hope their vision for the future does not catch on.
If I can navigate to it using a normal Chrome instance, then a headless instance is going to have all of the same information (accept-language) as far as the server can detect. Chrome headless is Chrome and makes network calls in the exact same way. That's why client side headless detection even exists.

So the only way in which what you suggest would work is if the system is so aggressive that it actually blocks a normal Chrome instance, which is more hostile that most systems are. But this allows a user to change settings until they do get a correct response back, and then just have the headless browser use those settings.
El Segundo would probably make the most sense....exact proximity to LAX, friendly business climate, lot's of warehouse space being converted into offices already.
I'd guess because of the economy. The high paying/skilled jobs are there so people were forced to move. Outside of this strange vocal minority that shows up here, very few people would actually prefer to live in an urban area instead of a small town or suburb or whatever given the choice.
Sounds a lot better than the 2 seasons we have here in Pittsburgh: summer and winter. Especially with the deep-freeze we've have this winter.
There's far more risk in software not crashing when it gets malformed or otherwise unexpected input. If an application crashes, it's memory space has been relinquished and its execution process aborted. Yes, something could've been spawned, but... in general crashing when something unexpected comes up is more sensible, desirable behaviour.

(Or am I wrong? I'm not a professional programmer. I'm just reasoning from common sense.)
Theres little-to-no traffic and land is cheap, public transit isn't needed.

The population density is probably higher on average in New Jersey than in metro Raleigh..
Your "spin" is casting doubt on an academic app publisher. Your theory is just as plausible as the app publisher's. Effectively, both are "spins" unless verified as absolute truths
I thought from the title that this would be about how up-and-coming founders think the stereotypically SV way of doing things is bad (equity-rich comp, expensive catering for lunch, homogeneity of political views, etc).

Instead, it’s about how young Chinese entrepreneurs are underwhelmed by the lack of penetration of new technologies into daily life on the Peninsula. The whole thing reads like a submarine article artfully placed by the Shenzhen Economic Development Committee, especially given its ending quote: "China is like a startup. The U.S. is like a big corporation”.

One point within the article strikes me as especially bad. The author notes that, “Especially for those in their 20s and 30s, last week’s visit largely failed to impress. To many in the group, northern California’s low-rise buildings looked shabbier than the glitzy skyscrapers in Beijing and Shenzhen.” The clear implication here is that California’s relative backwardness is evidenced by the shabbiness of local buildings.

But that’s entirely the wrong conclusion to draw! The story here is that rich people don’t like new construction near where they live, and a lot of wealth has been created on the Peninsula in the last few decades. The NIMBY-zoning-driven damper on new office construction in the last few years has resulted in a lack of office space relative to demand, which means that it’s a seller’s market, which disincentivizes landlords from renovating buildings....and the onerous zoning makes it virtually impossible for property developers to build new ones.
When I saw Atlanta on the list, I felt that it's over. The rail system is far superior to what exists in Seattle & should support reasonable suburban commutes. Georgia Tech's talent supply makes it interesting, but I get the impression that Amazon hires people with more experience than just straight out of college.
I sincerely doubted that Hillary would lose the election, and we know how that went. You're probably right in that the majority of their customer base wouldn't care at all. However, even if 10% care, not an unreasonable guess, that would absolutely have a large material impact on sales.
