I don’t know their motivation but if their goal was “fewest layoffs with most money saved short-term”, it would be hard not to bias layoffs toward more senior people. Senior, highest-paid employees don’t have to be the oldest but probably are.

Of course, that isn’t necessarily a good idea for other reasons (losing all that ingrained knowledge and experience, etc.). It would mainly make sense as a desperate short-term cost savings.
The main issue here is that USB IF wanted to "please everyone" and had a very weak compliance process accompanied by a complex licensing scheme.

This is an idea created by their own hand. Hopefully there will be a Type-C 2.0 or something where everyone has to implement either all the specs or none of them. And all chargers and devices must be 100% compatible.
Good job. This is impressive. I don't see how parent link is better than yours. Maybe, due to neural nets?
Netflix pays for Netfix's bandwith, I pay for my ISPs bandwith, and w/o Net Neutrality, the ISP charges Netflix again for transport across the ISPs network.
Foxconn and similar manufacturers are always the favorite topic for western media. But the reality is complicated. The bottom line is that in most cases there's no slave labor taking place and nobody forces those workers to stay there. I have a relative who works in a Foxconn factory in Sichuan. She had a lot of other jobs before. She works there not because he's being forced like a slave or whatnot, but simply because Foxconn pays very good salaries compared to other options that she has (this manufacturer in Hengyang might be underpaying but this does not automatically mean that every factory does the same).

Yeah, the hours are very long compared to western standards. I also much prefer the way the Europeans find work-life balance. But that is because you are already a very rich society and you can afford that. Also there is also a cultural and historical difference. In China, or Korea, or Japan, wherever in East Asia, working long hours is very normal, be it for low-level workers or high-level executives. This is just a part of the culture. Without it, how could China which was so poor 40 years ago become rich and powerful again this fast? Even the US is much more workaholic than Europe, without the mandatory one-month holiday etc. If you imagine that Foxconn workers are subjected to slave-like treatments as if they were in a plantation or a mine, you can't be further from facts. Yes, I personally prefer to have a better work-life balance, but that's because I can already make the choices. For many underprivileged populace in China, working for Foxconn is the best possible opportunity they can get.

Of course I also do acknowledge that even though there's no essential slavery the work conditions can and shall be improved, especially now that China has got a lot richer already. In a sense the industrialists during the industrial revolution can also argue that they were not really forcing workers into "slavery", but the workers had actually no choice whatsoever since every workplace was the same (the modern Chinese factories are definitely much better than those places in the 18th century though). Anyways just wanted to offer a different perspective here. If you actually go there and talk to most of the workers I believe you'd hear a similar answer to that offered by my relative, i.e. they just want to save up some money when they can and this opportunity is as good as it can get under the current social circumstances. They'll likely return to their hometown to start something else after working such a job for a while. I do also believe that the accelerating social inequality in China is a problem that has to be addressed and there should be many more opportunities for the poor. But that's in a way similar to what's happening in the US and not something fundamentally/qualitatively different.
You have the same problem with people having parties and accidentally poisoning their guests.

At most, you can have a proviso in the license that they have to display a notice that the stand is not inspected or regulated by the health department.
I was talking about the Lebanese diaspora in Latin America, in case that wasn't clear. They were aiming for "America" and landed in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and the rest of Latin America. Well, this is America too, they thought, let's make a new life here.

"How is the regular guy supposed to figure out if a USB device is OK or not? I guess the easy answer is to say "Don't use an unknown device" but I don't think this is practical especially in the case of a charger."

I use a "USB Condom". My current USB Condom is this one:

https://www.amazon.com/PortaPow-Data-Blocker-Adaptor-SmartCh...

In fact, I sometimes even use it with my own, trusted, devices. For instance, I don't want my macbook itunes to know about my iphone so when I charge from my own laptop, I use the "condom".

I'm sure these exist for USB-C...
There is no limit - as I said, counting is pointless.

As an example, lots of projects have active bug bounty programs where they pay people to disclose vulns. This generates more CVEs than a competing product that does not pay for more vulns. Would we then call the project with a bug bounty program less secure? I'd hope not.

Alternatively, what about impact? Maybe 100 DOS's is less serious than 5 RCE's, or 10 privescs is more serious than 1 RCE? How do we convert between these severities to understand risk?

Counting vulns is pointless.
Noscript and/or umatrix kills that kind of crap.
Pixel 2 does actually do usb 3 speeds if you have a usb 3 host and cable.
Great talk.

I thought their approach to rain sensors was interesting. The vision AI wiper function seems like overkill when a different system is capable of performing it almost flawlessly. I'd guess that the AI has a dedicated circuit though and becomes upgrade-able.. so those are pluses. But the rain AI system is a good test case and learning task for both the humans and the AI. Hypothetically, if you can't recognize rain drops, how can you recognize cars? It sounds like they learnt a lot trying to make that function so hopefully a lot of the knowledge in building that system generalized/translates over to the rest.

Besides that, modularity is an important design principle. It would be interesting to see how people combine different NN modules and integrate them with 1.0 code. Do you have a NN 2.0 controller? Some kind of self learning system that you train? I would imagine you'd want to take feedback into account at some point probably in Bayesian way.
My milage varied. After 30 mins of banging on windows, half dead bees fall down and sting you if you stand on them. Don’t have open honey in your house in autumn, and the problem is much reduced.

Unito – Export GitHub issues to GitLab and Bitbucket and keep them in sync
You joke but I've come across many one line modules in the npm registry... usually when trying to figure out if I trust the tree of some prospective module i'm considering including in my code - It's a serious problem for module authors because most aren't even aware they are including all of this crap, they see the first level of dependencies looks fairly reasonable, but you have to keep digging and then you find all kinds of crazy ridiculous things just because one otherwise reasonable person in the chain didn't quite look closely enough at something they were depending on which opened up a doorway to hell.

My general rule is to just avoid trees deeper than a few levels unless there is a very good reason (unless i'm creating a public module in which case I aim for zero, usually end up with 1 or 2 one level dependencies) - most node modules are the unix philosophy taken way too far, every pattern is bad when incorrectly used.
How does it price out small competitors, no additional work needs to be performed to adhere to net neutrality guidelines afaik, as net neutrality is the default state after laying lines as I understand it.

It lessens risk, but doesn't eliminate it, so the original question still stands: what does happen when the $300 license holder poisons someone?
I finally broke down and bought a generic USB-C charger (Insignia from Best Buy) to keep in the shop, because enough USB-C laptops come through and nobody ever brings a charger.

But just because a laptop has USB-C ports doesn't mean you can charge using it, here's looking at you, Lenovo P51. This machine is a workstation and requires 130W, USB-C can only supply 100W so it won't charge at all over USB-C. Blah.

Also had no luck even trickle-charging smaller USB-C machines like the HP x360 using a phone charger.
Hi HN! OP here, and developer at Unito. We've been featured/mentioned a couple of times here (see our founder's Show HN at [1]), and this blog post felt like an appropriate occasion to pitch again our service. Two things:

1. We're more than the migration/trial use case of the blog post! We do one-way and two-way sync for {GitHub, GitLab, JIRA, Bitbucket, Trello, Asana, Basecamp, Wrike, Planner} tasks, covering scenarios from a simple one-way GitHub -> GitHub to crazy multi-provider dispatching & merging based on labels/assignees. Check out https://unito.io/ .

2. Ask us anything :)

If you're really keen on free speech as a philosophy, read up on John Stuart Mill's contributions. His take is that free speech is paramount except when it causes harm, which is missed by many today.
Yes, it seems very plausible that a cat might recognise individual kittens.

I think there are also documented cases of birds noticing if one of their newly hatched young is missing. In this case, because they're newly hatched, one might guess that the parent is not recognising each one. An experiment is called for: swap the young of two parents and see if both parents are happy with the right number. I suspect someone has already tried this, but I can't immediately find any reports.
Wouldn't there always be companies trying to sell the cheapest qualifier?

Wouldn't the expensive products you mention that "might work" become more affordable if they were manufactured at a higher rate? (But maybe they aren't because they are harder to sell)

>I am confident that Type-C's market penetration will skyrocket as soon as the difficulty and cost of actually integrating it into a product reaches sane levels.

Isn't the current market of so many low-cost Type-C devices evidence that the cost is already low?
Forgive me for sounding extremely ignorant. I know this is not my area of specialty and I admit I'm about to sound stupid. I want to admit this right off the bat.

Can't you just hook up the VCC and ground from any USB charging IC to a type-c socket? It's all +5v right? I don't understand why the type of connector dictates how fast a cable should be useful for charging. That seems like it should be up to the simple gauge and length of the wire and thus how much current it can handle.

From what I've heard re: that chart in OP's link that shows the different fast charge rates for different manufacturer's wall warts and cables, most of that is caused by proprietary ICs doing sneaky things like throttling the charge rate when it discovers it isn't connected to an official Huawei cable or whatever through some resistor value going to ground from one of the data lines, or some similar method. Couldn't the IC in the device read the resistance / inductance of the cable and determine through that how much current it could handle? I feel like this is all bad faith shenanigans through proprietary cable DRM. When charging is concerned, a conductor is a conductor assuming there's enough thickness to prevent overheating, right?
Protecting lazy and inattentive shoppers from accidentally buying a plant based product is sufficient reason for heavy handed regulation?

This is a non problem being trumped up by an industry that wants to use regulatory capture to make its competitors products less attractive and visible.
When compared to the majority of people in entire countries not having any internet access at all, this seems desirable.

> It's amazing that they were split almost entirely along party lines!

It's been split almost perfectly along party lines the whole time this has been an issue, with FCC votes exactly following party lines on each of the regulatory proposals (the 2010 Title I rules, 2015 Title II rules, and the current repeal of the 2015 rules).
I remember having to sit through Little House on the Prairie because my mom loved that show. There wasn't anything a penny couldn't buy apparently.
Abstraction and everybody...

That really depends on how you look at what a 'self' and what 'everybody' is, and how 'abstraction' interrelates the two.

> Apple with their stupid single port is just idiotic.

Not really. The entry-grade MacBook is designed to be tiny and portable. One port that does everything fits with this philosophy (makes the laptop thinner and smaller and less complex - yes, it makes a surprisingly large difference).

Want more? The MacBook Pro is for you then with 4 ports - all of which, as they are usb-c, are more multi-functional than usb-a (not b, that's like you see on printers).

You may not be the target customer for a single port but it is a very intentional design choice and makes a lot of sense as most tech people use now supports wireless communication.

In fact you can see you're not the target market - you want to plug in a mouse and keyboard to a damn laptop. Basically you're docking your laptop. Ok, so get a hub. You are an edge case.

Products not making themselves worse for a tiny fringe of the market is a good thing.
Gift cards and in game currency aren’t a loan. Your lender reserves the right to constantly evaluate your credit worthiness and restrict access to that credit at their discretion (and speculating on a commodity with unsecured credit is risky af).

When you say “why even have it”, the answer to your rhetorical question is “it’s still a useful, and some might say necessary, financial tool”.

And another dongle.
So basically if shit hits the fan then we're even more fucked than we would have been had we not used Googles and Facebooks?
That's the point. They don't want to book your action.
That's par for the course, for example you don't see Ford chipping in for the 275,000 street parking spots in the Bay Area. SF could easily remove one parking spot per block and make it parking for bikes and scooters. But then all the people used to the city subsidizing their parking will be in an uproar. It's only a subsidy when the other guy gets it.
> A dongle would be required in most cases to connect to an external display in any case

Is it? You'd need to be using a display that provides neither DisplayPort nor HDMI. HDMI tends to be available on even somewhat older displays, and most modern ones I've dealt with definitely have both.
How to Migrate Existing Microservices to Serverless
This would be fine if there were good USB-C port expanders. They're all terrible, even the Apple one. If you just want power or video, you're fine. But nobody can build a working, stable USB 3.0 hub into one.

So while you can charge your 12" MacBook at the same time that you're plugged into a 4k or 2560x1440 monitor, you can't use any damn external drives. They either run at turtle speeds or they randomly unmount or don't work at all.
uh, where do you park your bike?
I read the article and it do not see how it refutes my point at all.
I'm just relaying what I read when they announced the TR2. Which seems to be copy-pasted to amongst the tech news sites.

Unfortunately they just state "... some first-generation X399 motherboards may not be able to deliver enough power..."

And not specifically which.

For those of you who are worried this is a value judgement, just remember that banks are in the risk management business. They generally allow any transaction until they start seeing risk in it through their own data.

What this tells me is that there have probably been a lot of chargebacks related to cryptocurrency as the coins have fallen and people are trying to make up their loss by putting on "the evil bank".

I would actually give props to Wells for being the last major bank to ban it.
>By that logic they should ban gift cards and in-game currency too.

...those aren't money.
https://serverless.com/ - uses yaml or JSON or js. This looks like an opportunity for the community to grow some more which is almost always a benefit. A new filetype isn't always the best, but it CAN be useful in some contexts, I haven't vetted if this is the right one.
Everyone I know with a Pixel 1 or 2 has a loose connection to their USB-C cable, even nice aftermarket Anker ones. It feels as fragile as the USB 3 external hard drive connector type.

Bees communicate with each other to find nectar. They can let the other bees in the nest know what direction to travel and how abundant the resources are there, but they can also warn other bees to avoid places they didn't find nectar. It makes sense that bees would have evolved some way to determine a relative numerical value of something i.e. flowers and be able to act on that information at a later time, like when they get back to the nest. We just never quite known how bees figured this out. For example, one of the previous presumptions was bees used visual cues like variations in colors to determine what area had more flowers but what experiments like this imply is that bees actually have an inherent concept of numerical values themselves and can apply it to other situations, which is something we didn't think an insect could do.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Hell, I’d almost take some off his hands haha
Do you not think it's possible that the specification makes it hard to make a connector that is robust?
The one nice thing I can say about USB Type-C is that the physical connector is pretty great, especially when compared to Micro USB, which was awful.

Of course, even here I have to add a huge caveat, as I've seen devices that charge at different rates depending on the orientation of the Type-C plug.

facepalm
This is about marriage history.
I've seen an uptick in the city of different pedestrian-ish modes of transit: bikes, e-bikes, skateboards, electric skateboards, unicycles (at least near GT), roller blades, all kinds of other stuff, and now Bird scooters are part of the mix. Anything that helps Atlantans get from here to there without a car is a net positive in my book. The Bird scooters being electric also help combat the downside of navigating a hilly city in the summer heat. I really hope that Bird users can continue to be and/or learn to be good citizens: staying off the Beltline, not ditching the scooters on train tracks or private property, etc.
Free speech also doesn't mean you get a blank check to cause harm to others, like mobilizing your online community to stalk, threaten, and harass individuals.
Ya, the problem is that it's not "currency". The problem is that it's highly volatile speculative investments.
in 2005, the FCC unanimously adopted a set of what we would now call net neutrality principles to protect customers under the new "information services" regulatory framework. Verizon successfully argued the FCC couldn't enforce those principles under that system, so in 2015 the FCC reverted to the stronger "telecommunications services" framework.
Cryptocurrency definitely needs to be a cash advance, otherwise you can abuse % cash back and other benefits with it (reddit.com/r/churning). I don't think it's been possible to do it for a while though.

But TBH they probably do it because cash advance has a higher APR.
Immediately made me think of Halo Kid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPANByjqh8). I hope he found success somewhere.
You can easily get one that slips into a backpack.

They are not that light, but still vastly more portable than a bike and you don't need to worry about them being stolen from the street.
CCW means Concealed Carry Permit, in the US Southeast.

I’m assuming the poster was recommending legaly carrying a firearm when working alone in the streets at night.
Grayscale? Dunno, maybe if they are identical to some other stop light in meaning but have different colors you would include them their so hopefully the NN figures out blue or green (or something). You might be able to copy paste the traffic light over other images as well.
> Nothing guarantees the higher rent will come eventually

People in real estate are pretty satisfied with the current global monetary configuration that guarantees asset appreciation of most real estate over long enough (decades) time spans, over positions spread geographically wide enough (tens of millions of square feet/meters). At large enough capitalization scales, real estate starts to behave like passive indexing when set within our current monetary and legislative backdrop.
> Equal protection is far more important than ensuring 6 year olds access to the free market.

We don't have equal protection for children under the law. Children aren't culpable for many criminal offenses and have reduced culpability for most others.

> Would Starbucks be immune from health inspections and the other standard obligations of running a food business if they simply put a 5 year old as a figurehead CEO and had the COO run the ship?

The 5 year old wouldn't be able to perform any legal actions as an executive of the company, so that's not an issue.

Yeah, it’s hard to know what the bulk price of almonds is on the industrial scale, and given that “raw” almonds in the US have to have been pasteurized, they’ve already had some processing.

Another analysis is to compare with soy milk.

At a local wholefoods:

32oz Soy milk. $1.99
1lb Soy beans. $1.99
32oz Almond milk. $1.99
1lb Raw Almonds. $6.99

That doesn’t tell us where the problem is, any of these prices could be being artificially inflated, but it’s pretty damning.
I agree unique naming is one of the fundamental pillars of modern coding , or else we would have chaos with stupid generic completely unrelated names like

Python, C, Java, Go, Swift, Ruby, Assembly, Basic, JavaScript ...

It would have been chaos. Obviously none would like that, would they ?
