> bahn mi che cali

They have _the_ best bread of any bahn mi I've ever had. I'm far from an authority, of course... But, my wife is Chinese-American and both of her parents grew up in Vietnam, later fleeing to the US with their families right after the war.

My mother-in-law still eats and cooks primarily Vietnamese, vacations to Vietnam almost every year, and their Westminster location is the _only_ place I've ever seen her get bahn mi. Not to mention it's a 24/7 spot and they're like $2.50 a piece. I stop by there just about every time I'm driving between LA and OC.
True, but it used to be a crime in many jurisdictions and i you're open about it you can be forcibly placed in psychiatric care in many places right now.
In the US, it depends on which state you're in. Many states (including mine) have a law entitling employees to time off to vote. Some states mandate that time off be paid up to a certain limit, commonly ~2 hours.

IMO voting day should be a national holiday. Eight US states have already gone ahead and declared it a civic holiday.
Exactly. This is why I'm always hesitant to use 3rd party services. Whenever I use a new app, I make sure there is an exit strategy. It needs to either be open source and self hostable or have a way to export data easily.
Mitfahrgelegenheit was the previous market leader, money grab happened, Blablacar became popular, Blablacar ended up buying them later.
Sorry to hear your family had this horrible experience.
The worst-case scenario has not yet happened. We can't call it that until it's actually built and we know how much it REALLY cost.

Mandatory voting is a violation of the First Amendment.
> "Touch first" is still great for mousing (especially as screen DPIs keep rising and more setups involve monitors in multiple DPI resolutions)

WPF is based on vector graphics just like XAML, and high DPI is available for a long time. Per-monitor DPI support is also available for more than a year, they did that in .NET 4.6.2 released in 2016.
I didn’t know this was not already mandated by law. I wish I could say I’m surprised, but it seems to jive with the general theme of other US policies.

To contrast, in Canada:

“By law, eligible electors must have three consecutive hours to cast their vote on election day. If your hours of work do not allow for three consecutive hours to vote, your employer must give you time off.

Employers cannot impose a penalty or deduct pay from an employee who is taking time off to vote if required by the Canada Elections Act. An employee must be paid what he or she would have earned during the time allowed off for voting.”

Edit: happy to see similar laws do exist for some states!

Internet definitely has changed subculture dynamic, in a way I'd call narrower and deeper. On one hand internet has allowed subcultures of all sorts to flourish by allowing like-minded people to connect beyond geographical (and also social) boundaries and form their own communities. The flipside being that as more of the interaction happens online in those communities it also spreads less outside, even more to meatspace. Another aspect is that because internet allows everyone to find their own separate sub-culture and community, there are less such stark generation-defining sub-cultures happening. There is sort of filter bubble effect going on.
In the article it says the cost for the entire project is currently $64 B. I can't fathom that kind of money
My name is Molly from United States, I’m sharing this article to give thanks to Dr.Adams Joseph, who helped bring back my EX lover that broke up with me 2 months ago. I have been searching for advice on what to do to get back my EX lover back and i came across a post of a woman in USA called Irene Moore giving thanks to dr. osimu, for helping her get back her ex-husband. I contacted the spell caster for help due to the fact that i needed my EX lover so desperately because he is my lover and my life. To God be the glory, my EX lover came back to me within 48 to 72 hours after dr. osimu finished preparing the Reunion love spell and i want the world to join me thank him for helping me. Anyone reading my articles that also need his help should contact him, with his below details…

Because the US is not going “down a path that neglects its obligations”. In fact quite the opposite since it just got a massive tax revenue increase. So comparing it to a situation where the US decided to just stop levying tax doesn’t make sense.
"Moving forward, he said, the authority will not start construction on future segments until all the land is in hand, a practice that outside experts have long said is prudent project management."

Seems like they believed their own optimistic outlooks.
why add complexity to a simple problem?

Everyone can use a paper ballot - not everyone can use a computer - and I dont see this changing in the future.

Not every problem is best solved by adding technology - some are much better served by removing some.
There are a lot of very generic domain names out there that were worth millions in the late 90s and never got used, and sit parked today.

Businesses are more willing to spend to have "their" domain name, perhaps, but the overall value of a "hot" domain name seems lower.
At work we also use a monorepo that consists of subfolder of services. We use Kubernetes and we store the config files of each service (and each environment dev/staging/prod) inside the same repo. The k8s config files are placed in directories following this pattern: `<service>/deployment/<environment>/<service>.yaml`.

To avoid rebuilding all services on every commit, we use Bazel to help determine what services need to be rebuilt. Note that we don't use Bazel as build system but just a tool to see what services are changed -- essentially we only use `filegroup` Bazel rule. After a push to git repo, we basically do (1) `git diff --name-only <before> <after>` to get changed files, (2) run `bazel query 'rdeps(..., set(list of changed files))'` at both `<before>` and `<after>` commits, and (3) combine the results of `bazel query` and look for the affected services.

Once we know what services need to be rebuilt, we trigger Jenkins jobs of those services. Each service will have its own Jenkins job and Jenkinsfile (we use Pipeline). Here we also package the application as Docker image and push it to the internal registry.

We keep track of what is released using "production" branch for each service. Once we have a build to release, we (1) create a "release candidate" branch from the commit of the build, (2) update the k8s config file, (3) apply the k8s config, and (4) merge this branch to the production branch of the service if everything is ok. Then we merge back the production branch to master branch.
You can interpret wasm if you want, but considering the motivation for wasm is performance that kind of defeats the point.
I hate this argument. "Property", as in land ownership, does not exist outside of the State. You "own" land only by the consent of society. Conceptually, land ownership is inseparable from the State.
Announcing TypeScript 2.7 RC
Implementing a Go lambda is already more complicated than writing a function. It requires binding to a TCP port and receiving gob encoded values. AWS released a library that abstracts that into

// main.go
package main

import (
"github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/lambda"
)

func hello() (string, error) {
return "Hello ƛ!", nil
}

func main() {
// Make the handler available for Remote Procedure Call by AWS Lambda
lambda.Start(hello)
}

lambda.Start is the abstraction wrapper.
Except those trillions of dollars were already benefiting the US economy by acting as collateral for huge loans and investments taken out by Apple stateside. Even with the deemed repatriation the money will most likely still sit in Irish bank accounts, and in certain cases escrow and PE funds, as it makes no sense to spend the time and effort to wire the money over to a US bank since taxes were already paid on it and renegotiating the banking deals alone would probably be more money than it's worth.

In general, from reading a lot of your comments, you seem to act like an authority on this issue when most of your statements sound like a freshman who just finished his macro midterm. If you actually read the lobbying documents and testimony from many corporations, this deemed repatriation wasn't at the top of their lists, and in many cases was completely unwanted. Even further, the republicans actually ended up with a much higher tax rate than what was originally agreed, 15/8 vs 10/7. Of course, this was offset by long term corporate tax decreases but many large multinationals vigorously advocated for no repatriation and just a tax change, or at the least a very soft repatriation holiday and absolutely no deemed repatriation.

Fortunately, due to things like "balanced budgets" and "deficits", the Republican caucus was quite literally forced to enact a "deemed repatriation" on offshore funds to make the corporate tax changes viable in the least. "Deemed" as in mandatory, which you so incorrectly refuted above in a different comment, because again, without it the corporate tax changes would have made the government unable to follow up on current monetary obligations. Some would, justifiably, call such a lenient deemed repatriation analogous to a soft holiday, but the overall point is that corporations actually took a small loss on this facet of the tax bill to gain a huge win in other parts.

The whole fight over repatriation was mostly a sleight of hand trick to captivate the public while making changes that actually matter to the more permanent corporate tax code. After all, Apple even stated a couple years ago they were using the money sitting in Ireland to help finance their upcoming (now finished) campus. Where the money is matters very little compared to where it's spent since dollars are fungible.
I don't know why this comment is down-voted. It might be harsh, but quite frankly the quote is just wrong on a technical level.

All of theses "features" were present in the 80s and 90s...
What part of my statement makes you think I said anything to the contrary of that?
What about a $20 tax credit for voting? Would that also be a violation?
why not change the voting day to Saturday/Sunday?
Are American auto makers once again going to be behind the curve when gas prices shoot up again? I assume someone in the executive suite has an ace up their sleeve this time. The canary in the coal mine will be GM bringing back Hummer. :-)

I dunno, “the market is going SUV and not looking back” makes me think they are once again being short-sighted. If nothing else, it means we won’t be getting much in the way of innovation from the U. S. makers.
I still don't understand why the air controller needs the trackball. The article makes it sound like they select planes on screen, but it also says that before selecting the plane, they enter the code of that plane, which to me sounds like it is already selected.

1. Election on a Sunday. It’s not controversial, it’s bloody obvious. No one should even be able to find an argument against moving it.

2. Automatic registration. Registration is just increasing the barrier to vote.

3. Remove all disenfranchisement. All adult citizens have a vote. Pretending you can somehow forfeit that right in a democracy is laughable.

Now: there is one party that would rather not see either of these changes.
In Norway we can vote in advance before the election, at a convenient time. Problem solved!
Now nice that he linked to my simh installation instructions :)
The best way to use ancient UNIX is to tell your terminal emulator backspace is BS and delete is DEL, then just use stty (you don't have to use caret notation btw, a literal BS/^U/whatever works too).
And of course if you use a "real" terminal like an ADM-3A (of vi fame) you don't even have a backspace key and have to actually press Ctrl-H.
Plenty of ways for the initial segment to not be completed in 2025, too.

Strange that they would announce this now, after having already built a huge campus in Austin: http://fortune.com/2016/09/01/apple-austin-campus/

Austin is where many of their support workers are now, as well as engineers. Apple's main Cupertino campus is 2.8 million sq.ft., but the Austin campus is also huge at 1.1 million sq.ft. for the main set of buildings and another 216K for a smaller campus in southwest Austin.

So is this announcement for a third campus, or another expansion in Austin? I guess time--and incentives--will tell.
I see mandatory voting suggested a lot, and I'm not at all convinced that it's a good idea. I can see how it would look good (100% voter turnout!), but how would you ever ensure that voters actually take time to consider their choice? They'd see voting as an utter chore and pick whatever means they get out of the door the quickest.
I only skimmed it but my impression was this article seems to be confused about distinguishing cyberpunk-dystopia works from cyberpunk works that aren't also dystopian. But they're separate things. Same with post-apocalyptic.
Not meaning to be ignorant here, but how?
That alternative interpretation of the ending is well-known. I'd definitely prefer for it to be true. However, it's non-canon and there's no indication the scriptwriters actually intended for this interpretation to be true (it'd be awesome if it was).

Even with this interpretation, the ending would be completely at odds with PKD's story. In the story, Anderton (Cruise's character in the movie) wants the system to work; the conspiracy wants to undermine Precrime. Because Anderton wants Precrime to go on, he actually commits the crime he was accused of(he indeed shoots his victim), thus showing the world Precrime works. Notice how the message of the movie is "Precrime is wrong" while the message of the story is "Precrime must go on" :)
> there would be more than one framework up on github

That's annoying, and something I hate about Javascript. There's no standard way to do it, so everyone has a different way of doing it.

I prefer that Lambda has sane, solid standard ways of doing things so if I have to move between projects I know what the heck is going on, rather than having to figure out which of the many homegrown ways of doing things people decided to use.
I can't imagine any blog being important enough to put e-mail in my main inbox.
For those also wondering:

> This would be a world of decentralised eco-cities, 3D printing, vertical farms, solar glass windows, wild or inventive forms of dress and design, and a vibrant cosmopolitan aesthetic; where technology is no longer used to exploit the natural world, but to automate away needless human labour and to help restore the damage the Oil Age has already done. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualise themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; and driven by an overriding ethos of compassionate rationalism, where science and reason are not seen as antithetical to imagination and spirituality, but as concepts which bring out the best in each other.

In case you're not aware (and for anyone curious enough to look), the extension was changed dramatically within days of when the story hit the fan. It's really hard for someone as inexperienced as me to tell what was actually run! https://github.com/mozilla/addon-wr/commit/7d4e422bf573f675b...

I believe it did technically run enough code to decide whether or not it was enabled, and I'm not sure whether or not its installation was avoidable (I believe enabling SHIELD studies is opt-in [perhaps part of opting in to analytics?]).
It’s fine - as long as I can write in “Darth Vader”.

I remember this dude putting a bunch of materials to the test with a direct blowtorch flame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NC79e0oztM. I was hoping he had a demo of denim; it's mentioned in the video description, but skimming the video I couldn't locate it in a reasonable time.

Most companies are owned by people who hate taxes. They most certainly wouldn't want all their employees coming in and voting Democrat.

If a cynic is just a disappointed idealist, then we might look at the cyberpunk of the '70s/'80s/'90s/today as the cynical reaction to the idealism of the jet-age future of '50s & '60s speculative fiction.

I can't read the article, did they find something idealistic in the speculative fiction of the last few years to feel cynical about? Or is this a new coat of rust slathered over the old Gibsonian grit?
Especially when the network is open, because for instance Android devices automatically connect to networks like that
Oops, I wasn't clear. I'd meant that, if I recall correctly, the HotSpot team initially experimented with combining the 'client' and 'server' JITs for tiered compilation, but decided it was a lot of complexity for little gain, and didn't commit.

Only a couple years later did they re-attempt it and stick with it.

I could be mistaken here, and I wasn't able to find anything online to support me.
In Georgia we have early voting for basically a month before the election at a number of gov buildings.
That affects voters disproportionately.
The rest of your list makes sense, however I don't see you make an actual argument against electronic voting. Why are you opposed to it?
Voting is political speech. The right to say nothing is as important as the right to speak.
While we're dreaming, how bout the following?

* Strict maximum limits on campaign spending

* Ban paid TV advertisements

* Campaigning is limits to 3 months before the general election
> The company plans to establish an Apple campus in a new location, which will initially house technical support for customers.

Key word being "initially."
Here we have Consignment stores which work a little differently. The "donor" and the shop split the proceeds from the sale. Things start at a higher price that is still a good deal, maybe 1/3 of retail, and then the price falls on a weekly schedule. The shops are picky about what they'll take, but the selection is usually great. Also, it might sound weird, but the clothes tend to be of better quality because they're the ones that stood up to a couple of washings (stuff that just falls apart never makes it there).
Voting is a form of speech, so you can’t be compelled to speak or not under threat of punishment.
Yes, although Free and/or "Freemium" services seem to be the worst offenders here.
I think I didn't explain myself.

What you say is true, but even if your program doesn't see any input, you can (the kernel n_tty line discipline) edit the input (delete it).

So if I do print() read() print() read() the reads will only be able to edit what has been input since that particular syscall.
Ok. Would you mind clarifying/elaborating on that?
Now divide by the # of people who will benefit from each of those programs and see how they look.

My theory is that drastically reduced sentences using solitary confinement might be more useful than sticking people in jail cells for longer periods of time.

For example, for minor offences have 1-2 days of solitary confinement, and increase it meaningfully as the violence of the crime increases and for recidivists.

The benefit is that you can isolate the prisoners completely, so that they don't engage in gang activity, drugs, etc. It's also much safer for prison guards and you can get by with less. You can also pack in a lot more convicts into a small area, but also the turnover will be much quicker, so you can handle more convicts.

Solitary confinement is much much harsher, so for first-time-offenders, they will get scared straight, but they also can't get indoctrinated into more criminal activity from gang members, etc. First time offenders will get scared straight much quicker (spending only a few days or a week in solitary) vs much longer sentences.
Is it (as in, is there case law)? You can always leave your ballot blank.
But in the story the protagonist chooses a fate, whereas in the movie (under this interpretation) the fate is chosen for him.

I will grant, this movie interpretation does make it more Dickian than the more common one. It is still a different message than the story.
Wrong.

SNI has to be sent without any previous negotiation. Therefore the client does not know if a site will require SNI or not.

Assumption 1: browser vendors do not want to break sites relying on SNI

(Confirmed by WHATWG)

Assumption 2: at least one major site will continue to use SNI

Conclusion: browsers will continue to send SNI.
I see no such thing. I'd suggest checking your browser extensions or something to make sure nothing is injecting content.
Serious question: How does increasing voter turnout make anything better? Doesn't that just increase the likelihood of politicians using unscrupulous techniques to fool voters?

A huge problem is actively ignorant voters in my opinion, this would make the problem worse.
A bad benchmark is something everyone can understand and use as criteria to disqualify a technology.

A license that prohibits a public benchmark is something only a few people care about.

Having seen hordes of developers on IRC, Reddit, and HN develop outdated gut reactions that they still invoke years after the fact has led me to believe that benchmark prohibition is easily worth it.
You speak with so much conviction about living in a shoe box with 3 dogs!
I think MVPs are another casualty, having a server spit out html is surely the minimum viable approach?
Nah, people are objecting because they don't want to hear facts that contradict their preferred narrative. They want to believe that construction instantly lowers prices, and any information that contradicts this narrative is voted into the dirt on HN.

I grant you that 2008 was exceptional, as recessions go...but it's not rare to see projects abandoned. I saw it in Seattle in 2001 as well. It just depends on the state of the projects when the recession hits -- you might not get "holes in the ground" unless the decline hits quite suddenly (as in 2008), but you definitely see projects abandoned. That's universal.
