To add to this, many of the most popular airports with business travellers (LHR, JFK, HKG) have restricted capacity. They'd have to use the same number of slots for a small supersonic plane as for a widebody flying that route otherwise. That can significantly increase cost per seat.
The problem with not using the services is that stalking becomes ubiquitous.

You can choose to not use Facebook, but when every single company starts stalking you (like your mobile carrier) you no longer have a way out. This is why we need regulations to make sure this doesn’t spread even more.
Merchants don’t typically pass data about items being purchased to merchant providers.

Merchants rely on cc info to track consumer behavior.

Projects like ShopIn.com give me hope that blockchain may decentralize this data and put control back in consumers hands.

I have to agree with Veedrac and idontpost.

My first thought is, "This looks like a snippet of code completely made up or taken out of context and then anonymized by renaming variables. I have no idea what it's supposed to do, I have no idea why I'm looking at it, and I have no fucking idea what the interviewer wants form me, and I don't play guess-the-rules type of games." If this were real code, I'd have context. Not just a snippet. I'd see the things I don't see in the snippet, and I'd know why I'm looking at it and what I'm looking for. In real work, there is always a motivation for everything you do. In this case, there is none. You might as well show a sequence of bits. "What do you think of these bits?"

So by your prejudice, you'd probably categorize me in the first camp. Congrats, you probably turned down someone who's been coding for 20 years. Then again, if this really is the kind of line of business code you regularly deal with, maybe it's for the (my) best.

This is a pattern I see all the time. Interviewers come up with their games with their arbitrary rules and a bunch of prejudice about how a good or bad candidate should react. They think they came up with something clever, they always do. They have no idea.

I get the impression that good people get regularly turned down because they didn't guess the rules of the game right, or they don't even play because they got an offer at some place that doesn't play these silly games. Then there is so much complaining about talent shortage, and complaining about terrible interview practices, and complaining about having to deal with a stack of 1000 job applications.
in the long run it's guaranteed to cost more than just self-funding any repairs or replacements

If you're talking about home insurance then this is certainly not guaranteed. The primary purpose of home insurance is not in any case to safe you money on small repairs but to protect you from a total loss, say from fire.
This us by far the biggest criticism that I have of the structures within the EU: far too often the Parliament takes up a position that is friendlier to the citizens themselves, but they are not heard or overpowered in the decision making process by the Comission or the Council of Ministers. Complex processes also help direct attention away from this.

If anything, I wish that the EU structures are reformed into something that resembles a "standard" modern democratic government with a clear balance of powers. But it seems people are preparing to tear it all down and plunge Europe into the next war instead of fixing it.

Oh, and just to finish my rant: even RMS calls for the dismantling of the EU! His argument is exactly that it is too friendly to corporations in his opinion. I came close to walking out of the room in anger when I heard him advocate for that. Don't throw good things away as long as there is a chance to fix them.

The trouble with scheduled services aiming to competing with private jets is that the private jets are much, much more flexible. If the next three hour flight to the relevant area of US is six hours away to a different city, any rich person in a rush is better off taking an nine hour bizjet flight to their preferred airport instead.

I see many people see this as backwards and top to bottom approach while I consider it utmost bottom to top approach

in all the teams I worked most successful were ones that insisted on writing wiki / readme pages for each feature and task...

why?

1) project manager (person knowing why we're building) has to do fair amount of explaining to the developer
2) it's easy to verify that developer understands what he/she needs to develop
3) everyone else in the team can easily update themselves

my template was something like this

1) what has to be built
2) for whom - who is the typical user and scenario
3) who will built it and which branch on git
4) what app parts will be changed
5) any information related to deployment (database changes and similar)

doing it upfront meant a lot to the team, discussions and clarity... I would just call this more Wiki development then readme :)

Ask HN: How do you deal with production issue PTSD?
I work in a small team, in a large company, with big responsibilities. Downtime can be fatal for our company.

I've had a few experiences waking up at 5 AM (in our time it's when the US has peak traffic and most issues arise) checking alarms and having to fix large systems on my own. This has left some non-negligible PTSD. I often wake up in semi-panic in the wee hours and check my phone for system status. It gets quite exhausting.

How do you deal with this?

Very much related to the culture around the various framework hype machines, the “changing the world” startup (corporate) trope, and more distantly, FOSS mythology.

There’s something very central about the trope of technology-as-toy-cupboard. It’s been a huge influence on the Internet and on Internet startups, not just in terms of how offices are accessorised and cultures are defined, but in the kinds of stories developers and business owners tell themselves about what they do and why they do it.

You get some very curious blends when it cross-feetilises with mainstream corporate capitalist class values.
> I end up having to use !g in half my searches.

I googled this, but couldn't find the "!" operator as a google operator. What does "!g" do in search? Or are you trying to say "I end up leaving Google for half my searches" which is not only shorter, but more clear than what you said.

Edit: Ah, that makes more sense, thanks guys. I completely misinterpreted that comment in two different ways.

DDG is super super bad. I don't know why people recommend it at all. Now that you mentioned !g I remembered all my DDG experiments... 1) change my default search engine to DDG, 2) use it for some time, 3) use !g in half of my searches, 4) use !g in all of my searches, 5) say "fuck it" and switch back to google
!g is a bang or whatever they call it. If you put "potato !g" in DDG, it redirects you to google search

> It’s similar to the General Data Protection Regulation that went into effect in the European Union last month, but adds to it in crucial ways. Under the GDPR, businesses are required to get users' permission before collecting and storing their data. But the way most companies have designed those opt-in pop-ups, "you really don't have a choice," says Ashkan Soltani

Those opt-in dialogs that don't actually leave you a choice are not legal under the GDPR. So, you cannot add to the GDPR in crucial ways and somehow make these more illegal.

In fact, the GDPR even requires that revoking once given consent is just as easy as giving it. So, companies that have no problem interpreting a single click as consent for something that you need a team of lawyers and tech experts to actually understand the implications of, will have to also somehow present users with a one-click process for revoking this consent.

Companies like Google and Facebook just don't adhere to the GDPR and there's no reason to assume that they will adhere to this new law either. They've placed these clearly illegal dialogs and are now waiting for lawsuits to follow through, requiring them to actually adhere to the law then. They're gambling for the punishment to not be as high as the profit that they'll turn in the time that the lawsuit is not yet settled.
but a good image compression algorithm could find these repeated patterns and store them only once. If anything, I would expect that this image compressed by a modern algorithm would be much smaller than the original game.
It seems to me a lot of the people making a living out of art or other "commercially challenging" occupations have cultivated a passion for the business part of it as well.

I don't mean that in a cynical sense. If you view business and making money as a "necessary evil", a taint on the face of your pure artistry, then you're probably going to be miserable trying to make a living. I prefer to think about it as finding a way to create value for others through what you like to do.

Technically this means limited-data mobile connections should be the best in the world, because the carrier has an incentive to build good infrastructure?

Let me check. IPv6? Nope. Public IPv4? Nope. HTTP interception proxy? Check! Peak bandwidth? Only a handful of mbps over LTE. And this is in markets like the UK and France where there is supposedly “competition”.

This model doesn’t work, the carriers will still do the bare minimum that they can get away with.

The difference is index funds actually hold the underlying basket of assets for the index they track.

Does Tether actually hold one real United States Dollar for every USDT they issue? If so, they sure haven't convincingly demonstrated it by continually lying about being regularly audited (they have never published a real audit) and refusing to allow anyone to redeem their USDT with Tether to get back a USD.
Consider what happens when people are mostly energy independant, efficient, and have open source software to turn this into quite a lot of different things.
I've found that usually when people say they're "passionate" about something, what they're really saying is that they have a deep yearning for the high social status they would attain if they were great at or well-known for that thing.

Also, that they believe their status is higher because they're passionate about that thing, and they wanted to remind you of that.

Half the time it's something they don't even devote very much time to, and aren't even that good at.

That might be why these "follow your passion" speeches are so effective. Everyone in the audience can have a different high-status activity in mind, and the word "passion" is like a global variable that maps straight to whatever every individual believes is the best way to achieve high social status. So you get the whole audience, and everyone can start daydreaming in unison.
Linux Mint 19 “Tara” MATE Released
Most of the UI animations are laggy in my browser (Firefox 60).
We routinely grab a highly complex operating-system kernel for free, build it repeatably from source, and deploy it on machines. It's called Linux.

Kernels are extremely complex software blobs with crazy race conditions, and tons of device-specific hacks. Somehow the world goes on with Linux going open source. Nobody is claiming that a single person will bang out a USB 3.1 block, but building up these "IP"s over time through the community would be a huge first step.
> I wish that the EU structures are reformed into something that resembles a "standard" modern democratic government

The problem with that is that it would give democratic legitimacy to the EU parliament and commission. This would then place them in conflict with national parliaments.

The EU is by design a "Union of States", preserving national sovereignty, rather than a "Union of people".

Slack is clearly the wrong tool for the job. You should be answering questions on a persistent Q&A system and force all questions to come through that channel. Larger topics that come up all the time need to be documented on Confluence or something. Remember, everyone thinks that they are special and will come to you directly on Slack or whatever if they have the opportunity. It will waste your time so just close that channel.
Do you have a source for that?

"Mulan" are Advancing A.I. Research(2017)
Here is some of the latest science, an invited review from the Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11481-018-9782-...

Here is a good quote from the discussion portion of this review:

<blockquote>
As described in the Koob and Volkow model (2016), most drugs of abuse result in the hyperactivation of the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic reward pathway in the binge-intoxication stage of addiction. This hyperactivation seems to be present in cannabis addiction but to a lower extent. Acute THC administration elicits striatal DA release in animals (Bloomfield et al. 2016) and THC challenges were shown to increase striatal DA transmission in humans (Stokes et al. 2010; Bossong et al. 2015); although other studies have found no THC-induced increases in striatal DA (Barkus et al. 2011; Urban et al. 2012). Additionally, there are no baseline differences in dopamine D2/D3 receptor availability between cannabis users and healthy controls (Volkow et al. 2014c; van de Giessen et al. 2017), a finding that does not parallel addiction to other drugs of abuse (including cocaine, alcohol, methamphetamine, nicotine, or heroin) which is associated with substantial reductions in D2R availability in the ventral striatum (Wang et al. 1997; Volkow et al. 2001, 2014c, 2017c; Martinez et al. 2012; Albrecht et al. 2013; Tomasi et al. 2015a; Wiers et al. 2016a; Ashok et al. 2017). Nonetheless, as with other drugs of abuse, chronic cannabis use still results in blunted dopamine reactivity to a stimulant challenge (Volkow et al. 2014c; van de Giessen et al. 2017).
</blockquote>

furthermore (CUD = Cannabis Use Disorder):

<blockquote>
Interestingly, chronic cannabis use is associated with a downregulation of CB1R – THC’s target receptor – that is restored after 4 weeks of abstinence in humans (Hirvonen et al. 2012). This pattern of abstinence-induced changes in target receptor density is also seen after abstinence from other drugs of abuse such as heroin, stimulants, and alcohol (in humans and animals) but with some caveats: the changes found are not consistent across brain regions for every drug and abstinence periods are not congruent between studies (Wang et al. 2012; Seip-Cammack et al. 2013; Ashok et al. 2017; Volkow et al. 2017c). Future studies should examine to whether changes in target receptors after abstinence are comparable across brain regions and if they follow the same time course in CUD and other SUD.
</blockquote>

Basically, Cannabis is a little addictive, maybe, and abstinence makes most people somewhat cranky and sleepless for a few days.

Personally, I've been a constant consumer for 25+ years, vape all day and grow my own. Quit a week before leaving for a three week international vacation that I'm almost done with, because I was intrigued by the 4 weeks of abstinence quote above. Not much in the way of sleeplessness or crankiness. Plenty of weird dreams though. Just like all my usual abstaining vacations and visits home, which usually don't last a month. YMMV.

IMHO the real addiction is buying seeds. I think I have enough in my fridge to last me the rest of my life :-(

It's hard to understand everything that a shell encompasses (at least for me). It's a language interpreter with a repl. The language is designed to make running programs, working with output, passing arguments, etc... easy. It's not [as] easy to do that in Python or C. We're used to Bash, and there are some fun projects out there trying to modernize the experience of what you can expect from a shell. Things like displaying images/previewing files, etc. I also love the ones that try to reveal deeper information about a running process - hooking into syscalls to show progress/completion/activity.

All very cool.
I’m searching for information, not the “owners” of that information. The point of a search engine is to actually find what you are looking for.
What is interesting is to look at the breakdown in increases of non-hydro renewables:

Non-hydro renewables	149,652	+10.8%

- of which wind	104,801	+10.5%

- of which utility-scale solar	18,510	+33.6%

This equates to:

Type	2017	2018	difference

Non-hydro renewables	135,065	149,652	+14,587

- of which wind	94,842	104,801	+9,958

- of which utility-scale solar	13,854	18,510	+4,654

In other words, utility-scale solar is increasing faster, but it is still falling behind. The increase in wind power is almost the starting point of utility scale solar.

I would love to know how the residential scale solar numbers fit into this, but that isn't reported here.

Especially, canvas would become useless in an opt-in scenario and would just foster permission fatigue (people just clicking "Allow" because it makes those dialogs go away).

Another option might be to define closely (pixel-by-pixel) how a canvas should look like after a specific action. That way vendors would have less room for 'their way' of drawing things but the result would look equal and would be useless for fingerprinting.

Similarly, one could define a list of fonts which every browser should bring and all other fonts should be loaded from a server. It would eliminate the 'you have special fonts installed' problem completely.
Well I must be using it wrong. Very wrong.

I find it better than Google for code / technical searches, and all things work related

I find it better than Google for historic or old content as Google barely acknowledges such content is possible any more. Admittedly DDG is "least worst" in this respect but it hasn't entirely thrown the results out with the obsession with recency and update frequency (I consider this to have essentially ruined Google). Google were better at this and dated searches in their first 2 years than now.

Google then ruined themselves further by feeling it can overrule my keywording attempts and gives a page of results featuring no result with the must have term. Adding insult to injury they proceed to heavily promote brands over small companies and blogs, or anything really.

Once a week I'll try !sp and not find what I need on Google either. The rare times I want video search Bing is orders of magnitude better than Google.
