> Kinda makes me wonder how much money is spent on road maintenance that we are not thinking as a cost while driving

Here in Japan all the highways are privatized and are supposed to be self-funded by tolls. Where I live pretty much any road trip over 45 minutes you're likely to hit a toll.

All tallied up (gas+tolls), driving 3-4 hours costs about as much as taking the 1hr 40minute bullet train (which isn't cheap - about $90 one-way). Driving only becomes economical when you're 3+ people in the car.

I imagine there would be riots in the US if the interstates all started charging tolls.
Perhaps not, but the rate of waste is 10x lower than distributing it through a government agency.

Good for you, you must be special!
To play Devil's advocate, keeping the originals isn't just keeping, it means a commitment to maintaining them in an environmentally controlled space, following all fire prevention standards, in an organized fashion. It's easy to see why they would be wanting to cut down those costs to zero, especially due to forthcoming digitization and storage costs.

On the other hand, it's also clearly an issue of controlling who has access to the material - I highly doubt it will be simply dumped online for free. So once you take it out of the live, high maintenance archive, you will not throw it in the rubbish or donate them to a friendly NGO, since that might limit your ability to control it in the future.

My 15 inch has the same problem and the touchpad is unusable. Has anyone else experienced this? For all the benefits people tout about the macbook touchpad, this really is a damper.
I've been a Flickr pro user since 2007, and I still think it's the only site and community that is truly dedicated to serious photography. I think the site languished at the advent of the ubiquity of mobile browsing (be it app or even mobile site), and suffered from certain trends that yielded a strange mix of infinite scrolling and wonky pagination (I still have trouble finding my own photos).

I'm hoping for the best, and excited for new blood.
Yvon Chouinard built his billion dollar business Patagonia with dignity. One of the best things I learned from reading his book, Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman, was to grow sustainably and only when necessary. It surprised me because it seems to be the exact opposite advice of mainstream startup culture, exponential growth.

The rights-of-way are shared with, and subservient to, freight rail, and the roads themselves are owned by the freight lines.

Top speed is limited to 79 mph, and is lower in many areas.

As with software development, delays tend to be additive, and not made up.

Any service disruption (track, equipment, weather, accidents, crews) means hours, occasionally (though fairly rarely) days of delays.
A Semantic Framework for the Security Analysis of Ethereum Smart Contracts
Yes I loved it too, and it is super relevant. I've had my fair share of team swaps, both from backend to frontend, and it is always very interesting to see how engineers who have been on a specific team/role for a while tend to lack empathy and forget that other engineers who end up using their APIs don't share the same context and knowledge (or worst, sometimes it just comes from laziness).
Holy hell, that explains my situation perfectly. My trackpad becomes unresponsive after a few hours use, but works perfectly fine in the morning. The battery must be expanding and interfering with the trackpad/haptic engine...
Linking non-finance audiences to paywalled WSJ stories is kind of annoying. I might snobbishly say that every intellectually engaged citizen should be subscribed to their city paper, The New York Times, and The Economist, but it's hard to justify WSJ's prices if you're not in the industry and are only going to read casually/intermittently. A-la-carte purchase options would be nice.

You just need hired help. Probably find a cleaner on gumtree or similar, and ask them if they will do this for you.

Ask HN: Would you donate directly to poor Kenyans?
Hi, all. After seeing the work of GiveDirectly (https://www.givedirectly.org), I started playing around with getting in touch directly with poor Kenyans and, thanks to the magic of Olx (basically the international Craigslist), WhatsApp, and M-PESA (Kenya's electronic money transfer system), I've managed to find and send money to a number of needy individuals.

While I haven't been able to reach the very poorest Kenyans, I've been able to reach Kenyans living on $100-$300/month, and sending them small amounts of money (low hundreds of dollars) has been absolutely life changing for them. Moreover, I've formed some really amazing and perspective-altering relationships. And it's injected a lot of meaning into my life to, say, send the single-mother $300 a month, so she can "live very comfortably" (her words) by renting a single room on a dirt road for her and her daughter.

So, would anyone of you be interesting in doing something similar? There's tons of obstacles here (not the least of which is protecting the recipients from abusive relationships) but, putting that aside, is this something you could see yourself doing?

Thanks so much!
Darn... I'm reading this on a 13" macbook pro with no touchbar, manufactured during that time. Guess I better find that product number.

Bitcoin mining centers aren't really setup for hosting, they don't need the bandwidth.
I had a thought that the left tries to divvy up what value already exists, and the right tries to create an environment where new value can be created.

In order for the left to justify their agenda, they try to make it seem that it's pointless to try to create new value because of things like cartels, monopolies, etc. They then present the conclusion that the only way for a person to improve their financial position is to take from others.
Yea, I've used http://www.webgraphviz.com/ for quite a while. Toss in a tiny script to click the button after every keypress, and voila: live-editing graphviz stuff. It's magical.
But it's not higher supply, since the network enforces a limit of 1 block every 10 min.

Bitcoin does not scale, it's just people reaching for a smaller part of the pie that, for pretty purely speculative reasons, still cost a lot.
This is a really cool idea. Too bad I already wear glasses. I wonder if it's bad for your eyes.

The news media has a way of using the "wave". The barrage of articles with FB caught with it's hands in the "cookie jar" will contiue piling up. And a lot of them are just trying to get on in the action but some - like this one here - are genuinely upsetting and need to be reported.

The issue here is not the business model of FB but the sneaky ways it tries to make it seem something completely else. While the audience here at HN and similar forums are more than aware of the business model, I'm pretty sure if I asked my mum about it, she'd draw a blank or would not be completely informed. It's to a population like this who are most likely to fall for dark UX patterns and other shady ways FB uses for getting an uninformed consent.

And that's not right. I think, the outrage is not about the business model as much as it is about (un)informed consent. Sometimes - like in this story - almost while cocking a snook in the face of regulatory authorities.

I did some tests of my own and xz turned out marginally better than lzip in most of them.

431740 freebsd-11.0-release-amd64-disc1.iso.zst 0m3.424s

Maybe xz is not good for long term archiving but it's both faster and produces smaller files in most scenarios. However, I'm sticking with gz for backups, mainly because of the speed and popularity. If I want to compress anything to the smallest possible size without any regard for CPU time, then I use xz.

I think it will be very important how they deal with the Flickr UI. Whether they will

- change Flickr to look more like SmugMug (if at all the platforms are not merged),

- or leave it as it is today (the slow, heavy, and glossy Flickr),

- or try to bring back something close to the blazing fast Flickr days when it looked so clean and minimal and was not at all glossy.

Many of us are pining for the latter.

Hi,

I always think having an anonymous discussion is so cool. People can be honest about they're thinking, or provide real opinions. On the other hand, I'm also curious about how to prevent inappropriate discussions or comments like violent, racist , etc.
At the Scala Center we’re working on addressing these problems. We now have working groups devoted to ease coding in Scala and make it easier for any dev to use any build tool.
Looks like people have a problem accepting the idea of 'counterpoint'...

This is just as valid an argument as anything else in this discussion. Large organizations do tend to collect dead weight, especially when the job's well paid, and more comfortable year upon year.

‘The investigation was opened about five months ago after at least one device maker and one wireless carrier filed formal complaints with the Justice Department, two of the people said. The device maker was Apple, one of them said.’
I'm not convinced a paper with a website and some proof of concepts would be considered the "best". You're throwing around a bunch of components in to a distro calling yourselves everything from "deep learning" to a file system. It's not clear what you guys are even trying to do here.
I entered my computer's serial number, but it's unclear if it is affected or not:

> The serial number you entered is not eligible under this program because either:

> • It's not in the affected serial number range.

> • Our records show that your battery has already been replaced.

> • Our records show it's no longer eligible for a free replacement under this program.

> If you have questions, please contact Apple.

If even they don't know which one of these three options apply to the serial number that I have, what hope is there to guarantee that my computer will not explode in front of my face while I am working? I bought mine during the time frame mentioned in this page, custom built (upgraded RAM and disk capacity), and never had taken it to an Apple store for repair (which means, option #2 doesn't applies). I wish there was a better way to double check if option #1 or option #3 apply to my device, other than scheduling an appointment with their "Genius Bar" which usually takes several days.

Ok I am not claiming that Western society is free from such things but fraction of people who care about such things is much higher in India.

As per your American/Canadian in-laws I cant comment much on that as I never lived / be part of those societies. I am married to a German and met his extended family including grandparents (now in their 90s) uncles and aunts on several occasions. Never once anyone had any such discussions (I speak German). Including when we were living together before getting married. There are so many things which no one cares about them here but in India they still do!

But there is one feature I notice that is generally missing in Cargo Cult Science. That is the idea that we all hope you have learned in studying science in school—we never explicitly say what this is, but just hope that you catch on by all the examples of scientific investigation. It is interesting, therefore, to bring it out now and speak of it explicitly. It’s a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty—a kind of leaning over backwards. For example, if you’re doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid—not only what you think is right about it: other causes that could possibly explain your results; and things you thought of that you’ve eliminated by some other experiment, and how they worked—to make sure the other fellow can tell they have been eliminated.

Depends on what you classify as relevant targets. All big hardware companies have been onboard since the begging and probably already have prototypes of fixed-function decoders. Chances are we'll have consumer hardware with such decoders sometime next year.

If you actually go on the AV1 spec issue tracker, there are issues (both closed and open) from people at Nvidia, ARM's hardware team, Google and Netflix.
Have you ordered the counterfeit products, inspected them, and reported them as counterfeit? There are many ways to tackle this problem and there are many people who abuse it on many sides.

Amazon has messed up the operations for a lot of companies so usually the burden is on you to fix whatever the problem is. For example, I currently have a problem where Amazon has virtually given me $10,000+ of product that I never sent in and even after months of contact, trying to get them to acknowledge their error and take back the inventory is like pulling teeth... That's my problem, the bigger nightmare is for companies that now need to document and tighten down on their entire supply chain for unauthorized vendors... .

I haven't had to deal with any counterfeiters yet but look up Cynthia Stine's Egrowth Partners or Ed Rosenberg. They deal with this type of stuff everyday. There's probably free advice floating around too. Best place to ask in my opinion are the Amazon seller Facebook groups. Seller Tradecraft and FBA private label high rollers might be a good resource.
This is the correct answer. Many times people feel trapped in their bank because it is a pain to move, but it’s not hard.

It depends how promising your company is. That's the high bit of whether you can get funding, not your immigration status.

On the other hand, when investors think your company is unpromising, it's easier to say that the problem is your immigration status.

But don't kid yourselves that being in your home country will help your company either. Look at the startups that have succeeded so far. The empirical evidence says there's no advantage to being in a cheap labor market.

The subtitle doesn't match the article's content at all! Bizarre.

I like credit unions, but I recently left one after they started adding various fees. CUs also often do not have the resources of a big bank. I have been stuck in Europe before waiting for the bank back home to open because they blocked my debit card even after I told them I was traveling. The contract 1800 number could not fix my issue.

IMO, the current best banking experience is Schwab. Hopefully they don’t make dumb changes and screw it up.

This would be more of a problem in a developed country, right? Sounds like these people are closer to self sufficiently, i.e. farming, foraging, building a roof for $40 etc. Where as in developed countries, with the cost of housing and without a job it will be tight. We'd need to helicopter some money, taxed from that automation, IMHO.
