I think the death of net neutrality is an act of desperation (clearly someone is behind it, because...why now, why the spam comments, why so fast, etc), because cable was a medium of control, but broadband is a utility with little opportunity for resource extraction. Here comes 5g and lots of wireless bandwidth for even more price competition which will either put incredible pressure on the ISPs to violate net neutrality to extract value or create a proliferation of ISPs, ala the 90s that race to the bottom, some of whom will offer net neutrality as a feature of their service. Curious to see how the increase in bandwidth affects the market in the coming years. Wireless presents all kinds of interesting possibilities.
I'll bite, what are my options for moving distances that are too far to walk, too short to fly, and don't involve vehicles?
I'm glad the popular discourse has made it from "train employees better" to "design better interfaces" in this case. But as you point out, this is far, far from a new problem.

It's as if we lived in a world where bridges have been built for decades with structural engineers as optional, rather than required by building code. If your project had a budget for a structural engineer, you hired one, but if not, fine, you just had your construction contractor do their best.

And so now a bridge just collapsed again (fortunately everyone got off in time) and we're talking about how we really ought to design bridges better, but no one is suggesting the obvious, that we legislate building codes that require structural engineers as part of the bridge-building process.

I know this is a controversial idea, as it opens up the question of UX design certification and licensure (if you require UX for critical infrastructure, what are the qualifications?), which can lead to all sorts of unintended consequences of gatekeeping, exclusion, and administrative bloat. But I think Hawaii makes it clear that the status quo is unsafe and unsustainable.

Elevated walkways? Half my city doesn't even have traditional sidewalks today, who's going to agree to pay to elevate them?

Around my area, people don't walk for pleasure, mostly, they walk because they're too poor for a car and the public transit system is terrible. Forcing them to climb stairs (assuming they're even physically able; a fair number of pedestrians near here are in wheelchairs) to get out of the way of cars is a non-starter.
I saw (on Twitter) another image that was a dropdown with choices such as "Missile Alert" and "Test Missile Alert" right next to each other.

I don't know which image is real.
Reading this, I just realized that I bet we do more and more testing of cutting edge aircraft in computer simulations nowadays, waiting until later in the stage to actually build prototypes.

This might also explain why we've got fewer "UFO" sightings than we used to even 20-30 years ago, in spite of all of us carrying cameras in our pockets (apart from the fact that many of these were hoaxes to begin with).
A warning, whether mistaken or not, is not a death threat, and a death threat is not just a complaint.
The concept of jaywalking is great for busy roads with high speed traffic. 30MPH+ (50KMPH+) roads should become much better and faster by reducing the amount of pedestrian crossing significantly.

Slower roads (max 20MPH/30KMPH) should be bicycle and pedestrian-first. Cars there should be "guests" catering to the slower non-motorized traffic.

This way we have the best of both worlds: nice & livable urban roads and faster driving in connecting roads.
I have not been following prices that closely. But the odd thing is, double the money still gets you double the RAM but not double the CPU power or transfer.

Also, isn't it less costly for DO to provision 1 "large" server with 1 static IP address than it is to provision 2 "small" ones with 2 static IP addresses?
Recent project I worked on the dev cost ended up being about 10% of the total cost of the project. It's amazing how much effort it takes to move the institution any.
There is nothing about ncurses that prevents you from implementing the same crappy interface they have.
Several states already have laws preventing that requirement. In those states, location-tracking must be opt-in, and must offer an economic benefit to the policyholder.

No. People are people. They will make mistakes - even smart and experienced individuals.
And when the nearest home you can afford is 15 miles away?

Any realistic plan includes high quality public transit, with at least some of it at street level.
> If certain intersections or sections of road consistently confuse AI drivers, automakers will lobby for ways to change these roadways.

I doubt that attitude will ever catch on. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but it seems to me that there's a healthy suspicion about AI drivers.

So far at least, the attitude taken by, well, everyone, is that AI drivers are untrustworthy until proven trustworthy. If AI drivers can't cope with the various challenges of real driving, then the AI drivers are to blame, not the external factors.

If they work well, AI drivers will be permitted to drive. If they do not, they will not be permitted to drive. At no point will they get to dictate what other road-users may do. Our Ludditism will see to that.
Do we have most of regular users validating payments today? Not really, especially considering that most of the tx happen on exchanges, off the chain.
Well put! Thank you.

I was sort of trying to get to a kind of the same point - tragedy of the point must yield regulation. Well, maybe it's not the same point. But I was trying!
There have been massive increases in quality of life as a result of cheaper, faster transportation of people and goods.

Anything can be made to look like a massive net negative with the one-sided comparison that it's fashionable to apply to cars, social conservatives, and a handful of other topics around here.
Hmmm. Good point, I too hope ten years down the line we laugh at the ICO era. But the 'coin' part is actually more than a moniker. It has provided a PoC that value can be proved and transferred digitally. I hope governments actually continue research in this space, while effectively regulating this speculative fad.
I hates that so much, especially on mobile sites which load so slowly that a miss click takes ages to recover from.
This is crazy. I used to work on the engineering-side of this on phones (CMAS). The amount of requirements from the government and the carriers for the UI/UX were ridiculous (how the messages are precisely displayed to the users, requirements regarding data scenarios). To give an example, it took about 300 hours to verify each release.

How is it possible that they don't have standards while the OEMs do?
Seems like a reasonable way to pump air through a filter. It will be interesting to see long term effects and maintenance costs (eventually the filters need to be replaced as efficiency would go down with increased air resistance in the tower).

> Having the UBI conversation in the context of the US is frivolous. The US has no populist or labor presence. We'd need 5-10 years of building that presence before we could even begin to talk UBI, and even then there'd be a lot of obstruction.

(1) You are strategically wrong, in that having policy goals (e.g., UBI) and talking about them front and center has always been instrumental in building labor/populist movements.

(2) You are factually wrong about the current context, in that the US has substantially and political relevant populist factions (both the energization of the one on the right and the alienation of the one on the left were key factors in the 2016 election.)

I believe Scaleway has better options for this price and I have been pretty happy with their support. I have also tried OVH and Vultr, but Scaleway still offers a better bang for the buck.
We could end up with roads dedicated to cars being separated from roads dedicated to pedestrians or cyclists. You could imagine if a city was designed from scratch the vehicles could move around almost in tunnel-like back-alleys, with periodic embarkation points into pedestrianized open plazas and boulevards. If Musk's reduction in cost of tunnelling is more than just a pipe-dream, then you might be able to retrofit something like that into an existing city.

But I agree that if autonomous cars come to pass, there will be a lot of pressure to go down the route you discuss.
Or the rain...
The key part of that sentence is "in the 1930s".

Civil engineering has become massively mechanised, so the vast majority of jobs in the industry are highly skilled. A job that would have needed 200 men back in the '30s is now done by three men and a giant machine.

Make-work is make-work, however you slice it. We could choose to build bridges and roads like they did in the '30s and create millions of jobs. We could also impose vast tariffs on imported cloth and ban automatic looms, creating millions of jobs in the textile industry. Philosophically, it's no different to paying people to dig holes.
This is ageism plain and simple.

You clearly have no clue what was the predominant view in 1990s. Consistency wasn't just _a_ thing in the 1990s. It was a core dogma even beyond database systems. It was top of the agenda for a while until it sort of fizzled out in the early 2000s when distributed transactions hit a complexity wall.
Apple appears to have claimed just that. Moreover, that vulnerability should have been obvious to Apple. It was certainly obvious to the FBI.
If that confirmation window is on every message drill or not, then it would be completely useless. Users have been trained to click past/ignore pop-ups.

I say this as someone who watches people log in on PCs and click past a useless (for them) Citrix dialog that includes a "stop asking" checkbox. Citrix added that checkbox some time ago, so these folks have been vacuously ignoring the entire thing at least once per business day for at least a year.

Perhaps a captcha style prompt could be added (basic math with random values?) to critical/damaging operations but I'm sure that would get pushback of its own.

"You can't require that our people do basic arithmetic when they need to send an alert! It'll slow them down!" Suggested response: "Are you telling me that you're allowing this kind of operation to be done by people who can't handle single digit arithmetic?"

> It is awful design. The meaning is complete obscure to me.

It's fine. It's just not the kind of sign you are thinking of.

There are at least two kinds of sign.

One kind tells you what the rules are or gives you specific instructions. An example of this kind of sign would be one that tells you that you must wear ear protection, or one that tells you that you must wear a hard hat.

Another kind tells you that you are in a region where a special set of rules apply. Examples are construction zone signs and school zone signs. These signs don't tell you WHAT the rules are, they just tell you that you are entering a place where the rule set changes from one well known set to a different well known set.

From what others have said, it seems this sign is the second kind. It's telling you that you are entering a region where the streets are shared more equally between cars, pedestrians, and playing children than they are in most places, and so you need to follow the rules that apply to such regions instead of the regular traffic rules.
Not possible in short term. Many sites freak out when accessed with non-standard useragent.
I often have such OS-level tooling open during VC chats, but it's not natural to have to keep an eye on another tool, especially when you want the "last seen"/latency figure nearly instantaneously so you know the context for lack of signal (human vs machine).
I didn't say anything about speed though... I'm just saying prices have been artificially high, and the fact that municipalities have needed to take the matter in their own hands is a proof that the whole thing was pretty bad.
> read more about the underlying technology

And how do they do that really? Just to remind you, I see even some of the brightest mind in technology get confused with the explanations on cryptocurrency side. Specially when it comes with a healthy dose of made-up jargon - side chain, off chain, colored coins to name a few.
It was unwinnable not because of the tactics used but because the war was a hollow gesture: we weren't supporting a viable, legitimate RVN, but rather a corrupt government that lacked the support of its people (and, at times, actively persecuted important factions of its people).
Sidewalks found in suburban sprawl are purely decorative. Only the very unfortunate walk there because everything is miles apart from each other, making a car mandatory. Meanwhile, even super-dense cities, where walking is obvious, have to fight the ridiculous notion that cars deserve 80% of the street right of way and stupendously subsidized street parking.

Ah, maybe some assets were timing out because it was getting the HN Hug.
Probably not to zero - accidents will still happen. But I agree with all your points. I'll elaborate with:

a) during transition, human-driven cars must be instrumented. Automatic moving violation for speeding.

b) automatic moving violation for driving a non-instrumented vehicle in a zone where they are mandatory.

> That professor may never know even just one first-hand account of a person murdered as they looked away, and in turn may never know the life they actually lived. People don't like to hear that, but sometimes, who you think you are is just a shiny consolation price for being distracted from what you're actually serving.

The professor was a declared lefist since the 30ties, but, having witnessed Stalinism first-hand, he was very opposed to blind and brutal use of "revolutionary" force. Actually, by his account, most of the other professors were very conforimist in caving in to the anarchists' violence and appeasing their demands.
Also worth noting that the US is 1 of only 2 countries in the world which allows direct advertising of drugs and also is the #1 per capita spender on drugs.
Right, this.

I think cryptocurrencies are here to stay. I'm not convinced that's actually going to "positively affect the industry in the upcoming future".

I don't think cryptocurrencies are going to remove the need for some big middleman like Visa to sit between individual consumers and their partners. Things like reversible transactions and on-demand small loans are too attractive to the median consumer, so someone's going to be layering them on top of the underlying currency, whatever it may be.

I don't think they're going to have a big impact on the financial sector. They can trade and leverage and loan with cryptos just as easily as they can with fiats, just with a lot of the safety rails like bankruptcy pulled off.

I don't think they're going to impact most governments' ability to levy taxes and to borrow. There are dozens of governments that don't mint their own currencies, and by and large they still maintain taxing authority about as easily as they maintain the rest of their infrastructure and bureaucracy.

I do think it's going to prevent central banks from doing their thing, but I'm not convinced that's a good thing. Central banks have their issues, to be sure, but I'm pretty sure they're better than the huge boom & bust cycles they replaced.

Cryptocurrencies will certainly make the world different in meaningful ways. Different doesn't necessarily mean better.
Outlook is totally different, and I agree it works perfectly.

I'm talking about OWA Search in O365. I use mostly VDI these days, so PSTs are out. It's a frustrating issue to me because OWA search is better in many ways for more recent stuff.

> If employee panics they might easily fail to get that right resulting in a failure to warn in time.

It's not like the box goes away. You have plenty of time to fix your typing. Not only that, but bad UI is a bad UI problem. Not being able to operate a system correctly under stress is a problem often solved with a combination of tactics, including UI, but also stress management, response, etc.

People who operate ballistic missile systems, defense systems, etc. on a daily basis are pretty well versed with how to handle the situation from a stress level. Anyone sitting behind an Iron Dome console is probably pretty cool under high stress in this exact situation.

That's a very generous interpretation of how laws are created and passed in this country.
I've done mostly the same thing you describe and it absolutely works and works well. You throw much less money into hardware, you don't need to rely on vendor-specific experts and expensive certification training and you don't have to pay out the nose for vendor maintenance agreements and licensing. It also requires that your people have real understanding of how routing and switching protocols actually work rather than being glorified [insert vendor] sales consultants. Add some programming and you have SDN and an incredible amount of power and flexibility with very little siloed, non-adaptable expertise.
Gonna second this - as much as I dislike Java there are a enormous number of very stable and mature projects in both the opensource and commercial/enterprise world. Many times there isn't even a alternative.

You can use a vehicle that is small and slow enough that it won't kill pedestrians on a collision. For example, a bicycle or a segway.

There is also mass transit, which can go over rails away from pedestrians or even underground.
This is just my observation, but this is what you get when software is used in such critical situations and yet the entire software engineering/development field is completely non-standardized and practically the wild west. Again, this is my opinion, which I know a lot of people disagree with, but we're going to keep coming up against this kind of stuff until software developers become licensed and accountable for their designs.
Well, I think it's more proper to inform and educate friends and people instead of scarring them. For me what SEC and regulators in majority of other countries are doing is scarring people (with all the warnings) - I'd find education more effective.
