Going further than this it would be better to implement a form of comprehensive road pricing, since as cars become more efficient and electric cars become more popular, the revenue generation ability of the gas tax weakens.
Yep, reading the HN comments on this one is surreal. I'd like to believe people are posturing and trying to convince themselves there's nothing to worry about, but I'm afraid that they're actually not worried. Reminds me of a comment [1] that I read the other day:

My generation has not grown to fear the bombs as the previous generation did. When someone of my generation is behind the buttons, I wonder if somewhere in the back of their minds there isn't a part of them that says 'perhaps in this and this situation it'd be okay to press the big red button?'.

I think the horror that war/these weapons cause will slowly drift from collective memory in mainstream western society. The warnings of the previous generation will be an endorsement of the destructive power of these weapons, instead of a deterrent of their usage.

Yep. We're down to Safari, Edge, FF and Chrome. Everything else is just a fork of one of those.
Eh, you can do the same as most of these features you mention with normal apps. At least where I live in SF, Google Maps can tell you all the different public transportation routes, times, and fares, as well as a notification for when to leave, etc.

The Transit app is also really useful for this.

It's just the public transit systems that need improvement, but the rider side isn't too bad.
When I see these things I'm always skeptical. I doubt LeBron did that himself, but there are TONS of hoax "hate crimes". Especially the ones that seem to be picked up by the news seem to end up being hoaxes.

We saw it recently in Canada with the girl who supposedly had her hijab cut, but it ended up being a lie. Who knows why she lied, perhaps for attention, maybe her mother put her up to it.
Psychohistory makes sense as a sort of statistical sociology. Probabilities of society as a whole moving in this or that general direction.
Ask HN: Are geocoding services to restrictive?
After Mapzen announced that there business will be discontinued. I started looking for a new API which offers the same flexibility and open-source vision as they did. Many geocoding services offer a service with a ToS which restricts storing the results.

Are those services allowed to restrict me from storing a longitude/latitude and a address since this kind of data is publicly available and to my knowledge cannot be "owned" by a company?

> As a result I'm a bit surprised that there aren't even more of these stories.

I'm not all that surprised. I can see people that stay a relatively short period of time just attributing it to a bad fit, or blaming themselves. Once you've established yourself comfortably and see yourself as an employee (and not a "new hire"), it's much more obvious that the choice is purely because you decided you wanted to change the status quo, and that might be something people feel better about talking about, or even feel compelled to talk about.
Wouldn't it be nice if there were some "Previously-Known-By" HTTP header or meta tag? This way, upon seeing an NXDOMAIN or a 404, browsers could ask $SEARCHENGINE, "Hey. Find me any page advertising that it was previously known by $URL", and browsers could then offer to redirect the user to that new location.

I wish Google gave directions like "take the third left" instead of "in 1500 feet..". I don't know what 1500 feet looks like, and the mile amounts I can only estimate when I'm going around 60mph and 1 mile=1 minute.
Unfortunately that search includes jobs which say "remote is not available at this time".
These are implementation details tied to low funding and car oriented infrastructure. For example a bus route becomes significantly faster when it has dedicated lanes and doesn't need to share the lane with cars.
These are exceptions. If they happen, they are your problem. And if they eventually cost Google money, then that's no problem because they are exceptions anyway. So that's how Google gets away with it.

I used to do this, as a software engineer straddle 2 departmental areas, and I was explaining it to someone on Twitter last night,, in regards to my sleep schedule.

I used to go in right before lunch to avoid the impromptu meetings associated with people coming back into the office. Coming in 11am-1PM allowed me to block off my productive time and work until dinner sometime between 6-8pm; and then come back to problem solving after dinner. This gave me one 6-8 hour stretch of time with little distraction vs a 3 and 4 hour stretch with lots of distractions in the first period.
A few reasons why you may want to use TimescaleDB vs other time series DBs:

1. For some developers, just having a SQL interface to time-series data (while maintaining insert/query performance at scale) is good enough reason to use TimescaleDB. For example, when trying to express complex queries, or when trying to connect to SQL-based visualization tools (e.g., Tableau), or anything else in the PostgreSQL ecosystem.

2 For others, the difference is being able to fully utilize JOINs, adding context to time-series data via a relational table. Other time-series DBs would require you to denormalize your data, which adds unnecessary data bloat (if your metadata doesn't change too often), and data rigidity (when you do need to change your metadata).

To quote a user in our Slack Support forums[1]:
"Retroactively evolving the data model is a huge pain, and tagging “everything” is often not viable. Keeping series metadata in a separate table will allow you to do all kinds of slicing and dicing in your queries while keeping it sane to modify the model of those metadata as you gain more knowledge about the product needs. At least that is something we have been successful with"

3. For others, it's some of the other benefits of a relational database: e.g., arbitrary secondary indexes.

One thing to think about with NoSQL systems (including every other time-series db) is that their indexing is much more limited (eg, often no numerics) or you need to be very careful about what you collect, as costs grow with cross-product of cardinality of your label sets (strings). We have heard from multiple people that they explicitly didn't collect labels they actually wanted when using [another time series db], because it would have blown up memory requirements and basically OOM'd DB. (Timescale doesn't have this issue with index sizes in memory, and you can create or drop indexes at any time.) You often hear about this as the "cardinality problem", which TimescaleDB does not have.

4. There's also the benefit of being able to inherit the 20+ years of work of reliability on Postgres.

There was no database that did all of this when we decided to build Timescale. (If one did exist, we would have used it).

As someone who lives in a building that is 70 years old, I can tell you pipes (brass?) only last about 70 years.. redoing piping in place is a major pain. If the location wasn't so good I'd be gone long ago..
Something about Robinhood just makes me uneasy - clearly their main target market is the small retail investor who is sensitive to a $7/trade fee, but the low friction, mobile-first no fee stock trading experience they've created mostly serves to encourage bad investor behavior i.e. emotional, irrational day trading among people who can least afford it.

Now they are "democratizing" margin trading (Robinhood Gold), options trading, and crypto...no professional investor who actually knows what he/she is doing is going to be served well by a mobile trading app - this is a play for the mostly uneducated retail investor (and small minority of knowledgable retail traders) who has no idea what they're getting into when they buy a call option in X or trade btc on margin.

I remember seeing on their social a now deleted tweet that read "Trade fast, die young." Ugh.
still going to run awry of the recent push by many jurisdictions to shut down or muzzle Uber. If anything many politicians will just see it as and end run / play of words.

Now the fun would come when participants are also in their local cities ride share program. We (Atlanta) have apps for Ride Share and Carpooling already. However the state did run car pooling / ride sharing incentives you could sign up for. I would assume other cities had similar, the key difference here is the driver was not charging. Also, be damn careful your insurance limits and restrictions if you ever do either method.
Where I see the difference is in the downside risk of investing in crypto-currencies vs. the risk of traditional stock markets. Maybe if you are investing in penny stocks there could be a compatible risk/reward at play, but if you are investing in stocks with a normal growth curve then it's unlikely for a properly divested portfolio to lose 90+% of it's value or gain 1000+% within 12-24 months.

I honestly don't even know how Amazon referral links work.

It was just easier for me to find the book on Wikipedia than it was to find the correct version on Amazon.
I work the over way (west side of the Atlantic, most clients in Europe). So I get up, work until lunchtime, and then my 5 hours working day is other if I want.

Of course it’s not everyday I don’t work in the afternoon, but it’s nice that you can spend the afternoon with the kids if you want.

Ok, sometimes duty calls in the middle of my night (last Tuesday I was woke up at 3am for an emergency on a client server) but in the 3 years I’ve been living this side of the ocean, it happened 7 or 8 tiles max.
To be fair, while it looks ridiculous that so much effort is spent trying to break into phones in criminal cases, given how much of our lives are conducted through them they are sources ripe with intelligence-- i.e. we can hope to find out who a terrorist received support from, where a school shooter obtained their guns, etc.

Sometimes it doesn't pan out, but such is the nature of criminal investigations.
Turns out, I did some research and found he could use the local Post Office as his mailing address for the ID. He went into the PO and the people there didn't want to deal with him. The basically threw him out (this PO has a guard, which is a little odd to me). I offered to go with him to the PO and sort it out, but he was unwilling, even after I made the offer multiple times.

But, the good news is that he ended up walking to the DMV (3+ miles from where I would see him) and he did get his ID. That's why he was able to get into that temporary home last year. It was a huge hurdle for him to get that ID. I can only imagine that anything that requires a lot more effort than that would be beyond his abilities.

I will say, too, that what drew me to him was that he seemed to never ask for money from anyone, but he was often present on the same block when I would walk to/from work. I started up a conversation with him and over time we became friendly, and I would buy him food when he said he needed it. It was clear there were other people helping him (much more than I was), so he often didn't have immediate needs for food. Shelter, though, that's the big issue and when I did Google searches for local shelters it was really hard to find anything I could take to him.
BlaBlaCar is actually a long-distance carpooling app, whereas Waze, Lyft Line and Uber Pool are all targeting the shorter-distance, daily commuters.

BlaBlaCar does have a product in market for shorter trips, it's called BlaBlaLines: https://www.blablalines.com/ - although it's unclear what the adoption has been since they launched last year in 2017 in France.

The challenge with shorter-distance, shared commutes is finding people who are leaving and arriving at the same location. This is because people are not very flexible when it comes to heading and coming back from work: they need to get there on time, without any detours or delays.

This means that typically, you'd need to get people working at the same company or in the same building to create a successful carpooling program. Making it work outside of the scope of a regular schedule is very difficult.

This is why companies like Uber and Lyft pay drivers to show up on demand, as in this model, you have more control over the supply-side of the marketplace, providing a more predictable experience for passengers.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes, as Waze has a very strong community of drivers. It's a challenge though, as some mentioned in this post, in that there is decent overhead in managing drivers, passengers, conflicts and everything that comes with building an online marketplace with a community angle.

Disclaimer: I'm the CEO and Co-founder of https://www.poparide.com, a long-distance carpooling platform of 75,000 members based in Vancouver, BC (Canada) and our model is similar to BlaBlaCar's, we aim to fill empty seats in cars on intercity trips in Canada.
The title is horribly wrong; this is not "Taking the Internet out", it's further entrenching it in the devices.

Like the other posters here, I'd like to see local-only devices that _don't_ connect to the Internet.

It's pretty hard to do this securely and easily, though:
- We can't reliably get proper HTTPS certs for local devices (think e.g. a router admin page)
- We can't reliably discover local services (I know about bonjour / mDNS, but it's flaky at best)

I think we as a community need to step up and provide a compelling open-source solution; the industry will follow. Look at what happened with 3D printers: Open-source moved first and established interoperable, open standards (g-code, STL files, filaments) and the industry had no choice but to follow, otherwise they'd be considered inferior. We need to do something similar with IoT.

... but also a very bad idea in practice, as most devs eventually find out. Using the Redux store in lieu of state spreads code that could otherwise be self-contained all over your codebase. It's a good way to make a huge mess and write some very brittle code.

That's incorrect. Firesheep performed session hijacking using unencrypted session cookies.

I have never met anyone who understands what cryptography is, and supports the FBI. As far as I can tell, the only reason they have any support at all is because they confuse people and muddy the waters.

Edit: What I meant by "supports the FBI" is "supports the FBI on this issue". If you understand encryption and support the FBI in a general sense, but think they are wrong on this issue, then you aren't a counterpoint.
I don't think there is a better possible illustration of losing focus than that.

You start with the goal of making it easier for people to deal with real world problems through unobtrusive programming, citing Excel as on of your key inspirations, build a unified browser and server side runtime on the basis of applying (and, if I understand some of the dev blogs correctly, perhaps significantly advancing from) cutting edge research in the space of implementation of rules engines / production systems / databases, you design and implement a simple, expressive, beginner-friendly language around the semantics of runtime, and your demo of how all of that comes together is...using an IDE property editor style interface to manipulate bouncing balls?
The US won't be able to force these rules on foreign companies selling outside the US. e.g. Huawei, Samsung, and Sony are not going to backdoor their phones for customers in Asia / Europe. So, corporate / governmental customers in those countries are going to shy away from buying American phones... I can't see how this is a good thing for American companies.

Of course you have to build things in steps. The idea is that you build something smaller/simpler first that delivers some value to the customer that requires way less steps than the complicated thing.

Building a car requires many thousands of steps/tasks, a skateboard requires much less. It's easier to estimate how long a skateboard will take to build, therefore making it more likely to be done in a reasonable time, giving you the ability to give your customer a better transportation option than walking. That then buys you time to work on the next more complicated option. And so on.

The other point that should be made about this process, is that it gives your customer a chance to realize they don't really need that complicated big thing. Maybe you build them the bike and they realize that's perfectly sufficient for their needs and then they just say the project is done. You'd never have that opportunity if in the same time it takes to build a bike, you're 25% done with an unusable car.

Most customers vastly overestimate the solution they need. Your goal as a product manager is to build incrementally and constantly challenge the problem definition.
Most of the large tech companies allow but don’t advertise remote work flexibility for senior staff. I know someone who works remotely at Apple on a team on the other side of the country.

This is what waze should do. It already knows enough to say "hey, there is a person living within 500m of your home that drives almost to the same place almost exactly the same time every day".
> Remote work was a medical requirement for me and even in those circumstances Google refused to consider it.

Certainly that must be illegal under the ADA, or something similar?
It also still increases the attack surface of the home by exposing your devices to a third party's network. You're now relying on the security of the network at the vendor to protect your device. What happens when they get hacked? The question doesn't really change just because there's an APN instead of being being a firewall on WiFi. What happens when there's a vulnerability in the network adapter? Ultimately Why do I, the device owner, want my TV on Samsung's network? Why do I, the device owner, want my microwave on GE's network?

And, no, "software updates" isn't going to sell anybody on anything because current appliances already work without getting software updates. The only new reason many of these devices would need updates is because they're insecure devices on an Internet-connected network that need to communicate with the Internet. So they're connected to the Internet only to get updates to fix bugs and vulnerabilities with their ability communicate on the Internet. Are they paying Joseph Heller's estate for this idea?

And what happens to bandwidth? Let's say it takes off and everybody has 20 to 50 NoT devices. So everybody within 30 miles of a cell tower has 20 to 50 devices that want to connect? Some those devices are almost certainly going to be excessively chatty or poorly implemented, given the quality of most software. What happens when Samsung and LG release the new firmware update for their newest line of microwaves, washing machines, and refrigerators? Suddenly 20% of all house holds are trying to download 2 GB of data over the air?

I think you're overestimating how much people can and do rely on Uber support when something goes wrong in an UberPool.

And underestimate people's willingness assume all the risks with carpooling with a stranger. I see people lined up for a shared carpool to the DC suburbs every day.
Working efficiently at your peak working time makes sense. Assuming everyone else shares that same peak working time does not. You either need to set up an organizations where all collaboration can happen via async mechanisms (possible, but difficult)... or you need to have some times where people's work overlaps enough to have discussions and meetings.

I've worked in remote jobs where, in general, people worked whenever they wanted, and we'd get on phone calls at agreed upon times if needed. I've also worked in jobs where we set aside a 2 hour window each day for everyone to be there, not caring if that window was the beginning, middle, or end of your day. Both of those scenarios felt more productive than "9-5".
> Do US democrats think inter-state immigration is bad?

Not at all. The US has a big problem with homelessness, and for a long time we've been sticking our head in the sand.

Cities like SF have been trying to do something about it for a while, but I don't believe any city can solve the problem. This issue is greater than one city or one state. It's a national problem that requires national solutions.
