I don't know why they left it out, it's the best news I could have hoped for from 1.10. All this after I set up a semi-complicated series of make targets to compile these plugins in Docker containers and use volumes pipe them out.
They update in real time, but Waze predicts traffic, which is better. For example, in the Bay Area, if you are coming from Sunnyvale and going to Berkeley, you could go up the peninsula side or the east side. GMaps might tell you to take the peninsula route, because right now, the bridge is clear. Waze however will predict that the bridge will be crowded in 40 minutes when you get there, so it will take you up the east bay side.

GMaps may notice the bridge is crowded when you get there, but at the point it can't reroute you, because you're already on the wrong side of the bay, so it will just update your ETA.

What I've found is that the Waze ETA is almost always accurate when I start the trip, whereas the GMaps one keeps updating as I go.
Aren't you afraid of being hacked? In my case, since I use the phone for 2FA access to bank accounts, I bite the bullet and keep up with the phone upgrade threadmill solely for security purposes.
> Despite lower gun ownership, urban areas experience much higher murder rates.

A gun advocate may say the rates are lower because more people own guns. Probably false, but the whole article seems quite flawed.
> if they can pervert our democracy with a few million dollars

They didn't "pervert our democracy." They illegally interfered with it, stealing Americans' identities and fraudulently opening bank and PayPal and cryptocurrency exchange accounts in the process. Law enforcement is enforcing the law against willful lawbreakers. This isn't that complicated.
Lemon juice works as well as deodorants. A couple of drops under the arms, and it works all day. The bacteria that cause the odor doesn't grow in the acidic environment.

Lemon juice is not an antiperspirant, though. Just a deodorant.

A bottle of concentrated lemon juice will last a very long time.

I had a run-in a few years back where a company claimed rights on a screenshot of work I did and tried to shake down bloggers who reproduced the original image saying that it was a derivative work of the screenshot. It turned out to be a completely innocent mistake, but with no disincentive to making such a mistake it will no doubt keep happening.
Good comment. I think it's important that we examine our reliance on conveniences but people have been warning us about life becoming too easy since the ancient Greeks.
> Imports need to be supported.

I don't really agree. I have seen so many wrong imports and I have seen imports demotivating individual mappers.

With a good data source an import can be a good start, but it's not a silver bullet.

I agree to your other items, though.

What about Correct The Record?
Hi Alyson,

Thanks for the link! It looks like the video covers using timestamps to implement replicated mvcc correctly from primary to other replicas.

The interesting next step is how you go from there to multi-document across different primaries. Or is this limited to documents in a single shard?
I think this article is unfair in dismissing Robert Anton Wilson offhand. RAW was an interesting character who created a body of interesting work. He definitely punches above his weight in cultural impact, and was certainly 'open to experiences' which the writer seems to be somewhat astounded about. Indeed, some of his best work could be considered as a guide to how one can programme oneself to become more 'open to experiences' whilst developing a healthier sense of scepticism and discernment about those experiences.
>Image search is one place where Bing actually beats Google.

Video search too in some sub-domains.
That's one way of looking at things.

Another way is: Google is good at things it wants to be good at and, as most corporations, it wants to be good at making money.

I can't speak to Google Fiber but if you were running AdSense (a self-serve ad buying and publishing operation at a massive scale), you would also be "bad" at customer service or you would loose all your money trying to help not-so-bright people that can't be helped or engaging in good faith with very bright people who want to defraud you and will use every trick their smart brains come up with to con you.

You have to understand that the bottom worst 0.1% of AdSense would-be customers is still a massive number of people in absolute sense. They want help just as much as a savvy digital marketer running ad campaigns for McDonalds but will cost you more in support than they will ever spend on AdSense. And if you're dropping McDonald's budget on AdSense, you get assigned account rep.

Google's customer service for AdSense is exactly the kind of service that is needed to make money in that business.

A taxi service will require a different kind of customer support and Google will excel at it, just as they excel at so many disparate things like writing search engine that can search unimaginable amount of data in millisecond, designing and building their own data centers, laying their own fiber or running a cafeteria that serves excellent food to their employees.
Banning anything without changing society's view of the subject never works. The grand example is Prohibition. A very influential group of people were able to ban the manufacturing of liquor by adding the 18th amendment to the constitution, something that's extremely hard. Yet instead of stopping the use of it, it brought it underground and a whole criminal industry was born since there was a big section of society that didn't agree with the ban.

If there's to be any change in the production of porn, minds need to be changed first. This can be done primarily with education and the help of the porn industry to police itself. Banning does nothing, it just makes people feel like they have accomplished something but ultimately it makes the problem worse since it festers in the dark corners of society. There are no simple answers to problems where people have a natural interest.
while I love Vim and enjoy using Vim..... facepalm
But that's just a single instance, and by definition not harassment.

FA doesn't always show ground data (they must do some sort of filtering), but it is available via ADS-B. If you visit sites like www.adsbexchange.com or look at a receiver's raw data, you'll see ground data.
What point are you trying to make here? That the public only cares because the interference was successful and may have influenced the outcome? Seems to me like something the public should care about.
> [like] OSMAnd on Android, they are awfully slow

On my Galaxy Note 2 (2012), you're right. I've ordered a new phone yesterday because it's getting quite bad after five years of daily use.

My girlfriend bought a phone for €300, and the one I ordered (now, a year later) for €250 actually has the same chipset. It runs great on that.

I consider ~250eur to be the bottom of the smartphone market unless you're going for a potato to call and text with (not even browse the web). Given that it runs smooth on that... I'm not sure what you're running OsmAnd on with expectations of fast rendering.
My cynical view is that it is a voluntary "breakup" of their monopoly. Google & Waymo are under the same banner iirc. That means that essentially the only things that can make money/matter to alphabet are still business as usual

I'm not sure how I feel about this; you had the power to not auto update; you exercised it; the company had the power to not allow out of date apps use the service; they exercised it... seems right to me. You put yourself in that situation.
Man having a comment upvoted and scrutinized really makes me wish I had written a more thought out post. Sometimes you write something in 2 minutes, in a language that isn't your first language, and only later come back to realize it was voted up and now had an expectation of actually being insightful.

> expresses the belief that what someone does anonymously does not reflect their character or their underlying attitudes towards women. It's just an "asshat" "short anonymous interaction". Boys will be boys. This isn't real. Don't read too much into it! Women, a bit too sensitive are we?

That's not at all what I was trying to say! I genuinely do believe that the attitudes expressed are genuine. My point was that the anonymity is what lets these guys get over the treshold of expressing them (so why anonymous chats seem more full of misogynist assholes than elsewhere). And I do believe their attitudes towards women is so bad that they don't even understand how bad it is. And that's a sad reflection on society. I didn't mean to express that as a "boys will be boys"-excuse on their part.

> What you do when you don't think twice is a reflection of some truth about you (your character, your biases, your raw attitudes, your inner values, your insecurities and inadequacies) or about the culture you are a part of. It's usually both. The comments Julia received are not random insults. They are misogynist. Misogyny doesn't appear out of thin air.

Yes. This is much closer to the point I'm trying to make. This should be the top comment. Were were you earlier?
(I have not missed the irony of my parent post being written quickly and anonymously and obviously without afterthought, so it must reflect my character and biases then...)

> Many comments claim that Julia's experience is the result of some small number of trolls, not reflective of the vast majority of men, or of male tech culture.

Whether these interactions were in fact a small number of people I think wasn't clear from the article but I'm willing to bet that statistically it would look the same if repeated. You could make all kinds of statistics (like were the bad guys more willing to interact at all, etc) but I don't think it makes a difference to the point of the article.

I think there are huge problems with male/tech culture. I'm going to argue that the vast majority of men would never behave like this regardless of what beliefs we hold. But the fact that even a few behave like this is of course a problem that not only lies with a few. All of us create a culture which in turn creates these assholes. So even if we think we aren't assholes ourselves, we more than likely are part of making a culture of assholes.
I've been using one of those salt deodorants for awhile (just a block of salt that you wet and apply). Seems to work great though I've been fortunate to have never really had to deal with bad body odor so it's hard to say if I'm just imagining its effectiveness.
Someone explain to me please
So my husband attended 3 court days and there was another court day on dec he was supposed to attend, but he missed it. Around Dec he went to another court, but that court date was moved to March because his defendant wasn't able to make it. A week past and the bail bond guy calls and said he had miss court which at that time we was learning about that missed court date. So the bails bond guy schedule a court day for him to attend and he did. After the court dismissed his warrant(for traffic) the bails bond guy calls us and said his down stairs and we need to pay 300$+ which was confusing. I thought everything was gonna be ok since he showed up. Someone explain to me what it the fee for?

Considering school shooters actually happen, and quite often at that, I'd say it's a bit more scary than a nuclear drill.

Nuclear drills don't really do anything anyway, if a nuke is coming you're going to be dead regardless of you hiding under your desk.
That doesn't mean anything until SCOTUS sets an actual precedent showing that such concerns can supersede election laws involving foreign agents.
It's not a normative argument.
It's an interesting (but mostly depressing) problem. The insistence that "others must be in control of what you own" doesn't really sit well with me, at all. I won't drive a phone without root, for instance. Otherwise the plethora of updates I have sitting around not being updated would do nothing but eat data with garbage updates with naught but a new roll of advertisements and, if you're unlucky, new garbage access requests. Update the os? Yeah, no. Not on your watch, at least.

A firewall, for instance, is a basic necessity. Even the crude android flavors. It includes the ability to lock out your "vendors" selectively and accurately.

My build is, hm, approaching it's fourth year, I think. No auto updates save for select apps. No complaints. No surprises. But I'm special, I don't do "phone for fun" and so have a fairly limited and hardened short list of requirements.

The most annoying thing on android is Google XXANY - by a wide, wide margin. I'll be itching to build a google-go-around on my next handset, for certain.

Save all those apps you like, for sure, I still depend on side-loading quite a few that have since gone by the wayside. At this juncture I have to take absolutely every bit of control that I can get my filthy paws wrapped around.
you do realize that using a picture for any purpose without the owner's permission in not legal, right?

while you may not be using it for commercial purposes for a kid's party invite, it's still not right/legal/moral, nor does it qualify for fair-use. just because an image appears on a website does not mean it is free for the world to use for whatever/however the viewer wants to use it. if it has been done correctly, the site has been granted permission (free or paid) to be able to display on that site. using it as a personal desktop wallpaper is also not legal if you do not have permission. it's great that you think it is an awesome picture worthy of being on your desktop, but that's not how it works. same thing for use in a powerpoint presentation. you might get in less trouble if you actually credit the site/photographer in the presentation, but it's still not a legitimate use. i'd be surprised if corporations don't have a policy against it. the fact that you are suggesting printing an image you've just ripped off of a google search is legit, suggests you're just poking the troll.

please, list the countries where it is free to just rip something off of the web for educational/school uses. i really would like to know.

I'm American and I remember doing these in school. If people from other countries could weigh in here, is this common where you're from? Even though school shootings are far less common in most places, do you still have the drills?
That isn't my point - I wasn't trying to be dismissive. My point is that anonymity amplifies and reveals genuine beliefs.
The author is correct. Maybe he should start by stopping the use of a computer to write articles and columns. I mean what is more convenient that typing an article into a word processor that makes it easy to edit and change words and checks for grammar and spelling mistakes. Also, did he use Google to look up any facts? How awful!

Once Tim Wu goes out cuts papyrus, pounds the papyrus into paper. Gets a feather from a bird and fashions a quill with that, then makes ink, and rewrites his column until he gets it perfect, then hand copies his column and walks to my house and delivers it to me, then I will take him seriously.

Until then, by response is "bug off hypocrite!"

I'm the opposite. When it was just me I didn't mind running my own mail server and putting up with my self-inflicted downtimes. But when I started adding family members it added more pressure on me to ensure good uptimes etc. So for me, family members were the reason why I migrated to FastMail. I don't see it as being very costly for the quality of service they provide but YMMV.
Since you were replying directly to me, I couldn’t downvote you. But your use of “newsflash” made it come across that you weren’t interested in a civil discussion. I frequently downvote comments that make a point in an unnecessarily hostile or patronizing way. I suspect others do as well.

As for full IDEs, they absolutely have a place. They can even infer things about the structure of your code fairly well. I still find the productivity of being able to work deterministically and consistently with my code at a structual level a pleasure.

I’d appreciate that even in an IDE, if for no other reason than that the structure editing could be done efficiently and leave me some extra system resources for other things :-)

I like the idea, as I also want to write everything in Vim. But I (obviously) always have Vim running, and can get to it from anywhere with one keystroke. Once there, opening a buffer and copying its contents after writing stuff is just a few more keystrokes; so I don't see the need for this, at least for my setup--and I'm thinking that other hardcore Vim lovers have things set up similarly.
How many people do you know who have been injured or killed from gun violence? How many do you know who have been victims of nuclear violence? I know for me personally I've witnessed gun violence, and know people who've been injured because of it. For me at least gun violence is much more personal, and thus more depressing and terrifying.
Like what, tag proposals where people vote yay or nay? We have those. As an active mapper, I very rarely find two ways of tagging the same thing, so the process seems to work fine.

And if you do find a situation where there are multiple options, it takes only a quick check on taginfo to find the more commonly used one. If you go with that, it should converge soon.
> Using analytics "indiscriminately"? What does that even mean?

It's up to you to unpack the bucket of "analytics, IP addresses, etc." you introduced.

Indiscriminately in the sense of "all visitors", not necessarily in the sense of "all data".

The internet doesn't have ideals, and if it did, anything, people like Stallman would represent them more closely than marketing eels.

While you're making up more stuff, note how not a word of the initial comment was addressed; instead you just launched into a diatribe against straw men, of dreams of a golden age of digital privacy and whatnot. But yeah, those people salivating at the mouth out to hurt their "enemies" at unfathomable costs to themselves must be stopped ^^
I figured the reader could easily infer that there was a different group of people who did believe in predatory pricing.
Clothes washing machines do seem to be one of the unmitigated "goods". Machines use less water, less energy, are gentler on clothes. Reportedly, manual clothes washing is also very hard on the body- physically laborious combined with scalding water and caustic chemicals. There was some article here on HN a little while ago in which the authors were surprised that women of decades past voted the clothes washing machine as the single greatest invention & engine of their emancipation, instead of planes or semiconductors or medicine or-

By all means though, gardening, cooking food, human-powered travel, repairing & making things of all kinds, etc I do believe can have great value.

The Internet itself makes world legal convergence a necessity.

Disagree.

I reject your premise, and the false dilemma it leads to.

The actual answer is the same as as the answer for international travel, which doesn’t necessitate global legal convergence: if you go to another country, you’re bound by their laws. If you come to America and something happens to you here that’s not illegal here but is in the EU, or you do something here that’s illegal here but not in the EU, you may feel your rights have been violated, but it doesn’t matter. You’re held responsible for the actions you take within a jurisdiction, whether you’re a guest there or not. And by contrast, that jurisdiction isn’t responsible for enforcing your home country’s laws just because you came.

It’s the same with the web: if you want better protection for your data than the US provides: do not send your data to the US.

Obviously companies in the EU should comply with EU law, but the GDPR asserts that a citizen can expand the EU jurisdiction globally by sending a request to a company anywhere in the world, and then demanding that the request be handled according to EU law under penalty of fines.

Ludicrous, and I seriously doubt that most countries are going to play ball. If you seriously think that the US government is going to let the EU fine some US-based business without any EU presence millions of dollars because Brussels passed some law, you’re headed for disappointment.
I know it sounds strange, but if you can make it through the first month or two of not using body soap or shampoo regularly you'll be better off in all ways. You won't need styling product for your hair, it will have a natural oil that works. You won't need deodorants or perfumes. And, if you can switch to cold showers, you won't need to use moisturizers either.

I know 10 or 15 minute cold showers are less pleasant, but they wake you up and make the rest of the winter less hellish. I actually love the cold at this point.
