Yes. When speaking and writing, I constantly struggle with the fact that a lot of things that are eye-rollingly last year's or even last decade's news for some are eye-opening new concepts for others. It's easy to assume that what's almost cliche in your specific circle is as well known everywhere.

This has been discussed a couple times here in HN recently regrading the integration of Kubernetes into Docker EE.

Besides limiting your time on HN, what would a developer digital assistant do to make you more productive?

What kind of platform would it exist on?

could it exist in VR?

Is an IDE a developer digital assistant?

could command lines be improved?
I just hope it won't end up like in Cambodia, which has had something like O(10^5) deaths/amputees over the years. Of course, this would be more of a problem for North Korea, which presumably has not properly informed its citizens of the danger. It will probably take many years because of how isolated North Korea is likely to remain.

A code can be both too strict and too loose but for different aspects. The article makes clear that the building code trusts skyscraper developers much more than makers of smaller structures. E.g., "A five-story building has the same strength requirements as a 50-story building."

The obvious counterproof to your argument is Millennium Tower, a 60-story skyscraper, which has sank at least 16 inches so far. Most of those one 1 side, so the building now tilts at least 15 inches at the top:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-01/who-will-...

They are still trying to figure out how to fix it. Doing so could cost well more than it took to built it in the first place. One proposed plan is to anchor it to bedrock on the low side, then let the tower sink further until it's about even before anchoring the other side: https://sf.curbed.com/2018/4/16/17242450/millennium-tower-si...

I honestly think it's reasonable that the building code gives skyscrapers a lot of leeway. Traditional building codes are very prescriptive, and that works better with (common and similar) houses than (rare and varied) skyscrapers. But the ongoing clusterfuck that is Millennium Tower makes it clear we can't just trust developers to get it right. As mabbo says, they have a strong financial incentive to cut corners.
Reminds me the first time I got to touch a word processor. We were supposed to insert a picture with the "clip art" feature. I made a mistake and inserted a "graph" instead. An empty graph, with grey hashed borders, that I didn't know how to delete or undo at the time. So I asked for help.

Chinese owned a big chunk of Italian textile industry for quite a while. For at least 12~14 years, a big portion of made in Italy stuff were Chinese made.

Owning a factory in Italy can be quite cheaper than to do so in China, to a lot of people's surprise. An added benefit to it is that you can claim "Italian quality"

For more on topic stuff, if you are a Vancouverite, you can visit an Italian cafe by Gastown Starbucks that is ran by a lady from Wenzhou who speaks decent Italian.
I will just kill the email address. Due to the tracking on internet I am using a customized email address for each site where I register to (for example sha1(news.ycombinator.com-secret)@mydomain.com) while my personal address is never used on any website so my antispam quest is quite simple :) You send spam, you are redirected to /dev/null

As a side effect, I know when my address is sold to anyone and by which site, I am already sharpening my papers, after 25. of May, every website that will give away my address is going to get serious papercut.
It's the latter, 10% collapse in a 1 in 100 event. I used to do similar work in floodplain management. I don't even know what a 1 in 500 event is in earthquake terms, is it even possible to build something that withstands that level of quake?

As a foreigner I must say Americans are rather blinded in their thinking about ideology from having a political system which doesn't allow for more than two parties.

Yes sure legally speaking there can be more parties, but due to the winner-takes all form of voting, there is no practical way for a third party to ever enter politics.

The existence of the republican and democratic party in the US for such an exceedingly long time has created a very ingrained sense of what politics and ideology is in the US.

People naturally have a much wider spectrum of ideologies than those represented by democrats and republicans. Yet there is no way to express that at the voting booth. Hence whatever people vote wouldn't really reflect the ideological divide.

Seen from my Norwegian perspective, if Norway was a city in the US, then Hillary Clinton would likely have gotten 90% of the vote. However that doesn't mean there is a lack of ideological diversity in Norway. There are 9 major parties in Norway and several much smaller ones, representing quite a diversity of opinion. The democratic party would have been quite an outlier politically in Norway, yet Donald Trump and republicans are even more extreme that people would naturally vote Hillary.

That a diverse set of people vote on some common lesser evil doesn't really make them all that similar.

I'm a former iOS developer and even I don't care enough to save a couple dollars by compiling my own app, when I could get auto updates from the app store. I don't suspect it'll hurt your sales with customers too much in that sense because they aren't making this choice.

I'd think more about other developers taking your code, slightly theming it differently, and selling it in the app store for a dollar less than you.

If you're ok with that, then go ahead. And no license in the world will help simply because you actually have to mount a legal challenge, and who's going to pay for that?

I'd say a better strategy to scratch your OSS itch is to make the underlying libraries OSS, but not the UI, that way you have some kind of value proposition you're offering.

North Korea proposed a peace treaty as far back as 2016, but the Obama administration rejected it for not addressing denuclearization. Now that Trump has been putting real military pressure on them, I think they're more willing to give up their nuclear arsenal.

Of course, these European prices already include sales tax, which the US prices don't, but even then it would still be ~250USD without BTW.

I'm thinking web page builders especially, but also various attempts at graphical programming. At the same time, there are in history some (more or less) successful examples, like HyperCard.

When I was in Amsterdam I chatted with a guy. His job is to fly to Amsterdam and Milan, go to all the bespoke stores, buy up all their goods, and then take them to a shop which clones them for production-scale. I'd have thought the designers would be working with the producers at scale, but that's not how it works.

If USA would use nukes against NK, (which borders China AND Russia) I have the feeling that the next nukes would have gone off to NY, or CA (or somewhere equally painful for the USA).

Horror/WW3 scenarios apart, it's most likely that USA-originated sanctions have absolutely nothing to do with this, as if Russia and China want to support the continuation of NK-regime, there is no way to force them to stop.

I'd say that pressure from Russia and China are pushing for the permanent resolution of this conflict. It's a tiny/annoying thorn in their sides, and sooner or later they will remove it.

So 270USD on sale sounds like a decent savings!

It's probably less relevant than it was, due to Google's aggressive internal linking. Google now surfaces more and more information (sports scores, directions etc) without you having to leave Google. If you run a service competing with Google in one of these areas - good luck.

Similarly, AMP has kind of changed the game in terms of publisher traffic. Users seem to be assuming that results that do not appear in those carousels are more outdated / less relevant.

It's probably a question of whether the privacy features are separately charged or are bundled in a standard plan that's a bit higher priced than "bare" registration.

Since control panels, reputation, policies and other services like DNS are also things that can be bundled together, it's going to be difficult to say whether or how much you're paying for just the privacy component.
> I'm curious as to why the motivation now?

North Korea has nuclear weapons.

That is the difference. Some might suggest it's President Trump, but the reality is, he's only made it worse for the US. North Korea can negotiate without the US because of the weapons, and Trump's push against China and reckless and weak foreign policy (see the latest Russia sanctions going up in flames) makes him a non-actor. China will take this opportunity when the US is at it's weakest to help solidify its hold in Asia, and is already working to help the Koreas. With us backing out of the TPP and now signaling our intent to join back in, this puts us at a severe disadvantage in the region.

As for North Korea, they see a way to join the rest of the world with a major ally (China) who will in effect have the most influence in the region.
These are very different actions though, I doubt they would be seen as equivalent to any of the parties involved.

I mean sure someone can say this but you can build an ethical existence around things that we believe to be right.

This will exclude certain people. For example it might exclude arms manufacturers. It might exclude the Weinsteins of the world. But that's the point!

If your ethical standard doesn't exclude behavior it's hard for it to have much teeth

I think I stated an obvious fact.
There is no paradox: Plastics have really only been around for less than a century. Modern plastics are all synthetic, and sufficiently distinct to all naturally occurring biopolymers. So bacteria only had ~100 years to evolve this capability. Compare this to the ~60 million years it took to evolve wood-digesting enzymes efficiently.

The situation isn’t entirely comparable, since these enzymes wouldn’t have to evolve “from scratch”. Hence why researchers may have found rudimentary capabilities in the wild. But evolving this from the basics to an efficient food source naturally would take a very long time indeed.
Exactly. Here in Norway e.g. the non-market oriented political ideologies would be represented by at least 5 different parties: communists, socialists, social-democrats, social-liberals, and liberal-Christians.

Although the social-liberals and liberal-Christians are not usually considered pro market, although they don't seem to be the American sense of pro-market. Like they are not actively pushing privatization as a major focus. Rather they are more against state infringement on individual rights.
