I've always wondered what sad life Linus leads to make him communicate like every developer I've worked with that I don't want to work with. Clearly he has deeper issues that lead to his blooming sarcasm and condescension, that our community already struggles with. This behavior is not normal, nor sustainable.
Eh. I know the tradeoffs. If I really cared I could get a new one put in for relatively little money. I may but it's a pretty old phone at this point.
Are you from the USA? I'll assume so, because I've often seen this on HN/Reddit: a lot of people there seem to use Waze or other traffic info sources for getting around traffic. I want to know whether I'll be delayed so I'll check before a trip (and also during a trip if it's >2h), but I can recall driving around a jam maybe once in my life. It usually isn't faster, and that's assuming the byways/B-roads aren't congested as well, in which case standing in the jam is definitely faster. It sounds like spreading the load over multiple roads in the USA is a must.
postscript is the cutest language i have ever learnt. I'd love to be able to use it more.
As a developer, I would be extremely hesitant to partner with someone unless they 1) either had deep domain experience and/or had already made sales of the concept, and 2) had worked with technical folks before.
Why not start solo?

You can found a 1 man SaaS app... burn is halfed, and your code per day rate is about the same as a pair with a business guy.

If you find business lacking down the road, you are in a position of power to pull someone in.
I started a tech/leadership podcast
Show HN: Group mail – create email groups from forwards
You are missing my point.
I really always wanted to talk to leaders within tech about what they are doing in innovation but also about their visions on the future so I started a podcast!

More episodes are rapidly coming through and I would like to know what you guys think.
It's usually really precise IME (speaking as someone who does online ads and checks this all the time).

Google Maps is pretty bad without fast, reliable data, I remember trying it on Sprint, no joy unless I could pull at least a megabit a second.
I recently read, and very much enjoyed, this author's article on the em-dash: https://themillions.com/2018/01/regarding-the-em-dash.html

(Why yes, it was tempting to use the mark in place of those commas. But I prefer the style of putting spaces around the em-dash, and I fear being downvoted into oblivion by any pedants who strongly adhere to the no-space norms. So commas it is.)
Reviewing the difference, OSM actually puts the street name where I can find it. The first thing I want with maps are street names and for whatever reasons, google maps makes that very difficult in some cases.
It's frightening because this is a the work if students with consumer hardware.

Video material can be produced at will if a wealthy nation or corporatiom wants it and the model will be significantly better if they train it on specialized hardware.

I don't think that the average person has to worry about his face being stolen. I think that it's possible to produce extremely good footage if somebody is sufficiently motivated to fund a smear campaign. It won't hold up in court, but it doesn't have to either.
With the added element of, if you happen to toss a quarter into said jar, it might fire it back and break your laptop.

No thanks.
What Elon Musk Should Learn from the Thailand Cave Rescue
To content publishers; It's not the ads I have a problem with, it's the spy-ware tracking behaviour associated with the ads you show is the reason why I'm using an "ad" blocker.
I wasn’t just talking about the whole vegetarian thing. I was talking about the idea that the HN community would be in support of any extreme idea like this. If you look at Twitter, for example, almost everyone that commented on this issue thought it was absolutely absurd. Yet here is HN, mostly supporting it, simply because it’s left-leaning. It shows how out-of-touch HN is with the rest of the world. No wonder people are starting to block access to their articles when HN is the referrer [1].

One of the rescuers said it wouldn't have got 50 ft and that Musk had no clue what it was like in the cave. Pure PR, just like a bunch of us said in many threads about his submarine heroics on this site.

Sorry you couldn't see through it.
Trust me, if it's culture you're interested in, Europe has more established cultural differences between white peoples from completely different language groups within small European countries than between African Americans and non-African Americans, and we didn't even have to impose Jim Crow laws to achieve this.
Even better - a detachable ottoman. It fills the hole when you want a sofa, and becomes a footrest when you don't.
Absolutely.

Segregation is probably a more chronic problem there than it is or was ever here.

But Saint-Denis is not a rich neighborhood.

It's what the French call a "banlieue."

Literally translated, the word means "suburb," but
it has come to be associated with the depressed, mostly
immigrant neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city
where unemployment is high and opportunity scarce.

"If you look at the situation of people, you
understand the path they have taken to become a
terrorist or whatever you call it," Villain told
CBS News correspondent Vladmir Duthiers. "Exclusion
makes the terrorist, in my opinion."

.
.
.

The French government does not keep statistics
based on race or religion, but surveys have found
unemployment is as high as 30 percent in these immigrant
neighborhoods.[1]

In high school, we were taught to use semicolons in place of the word "furthermore"; they also tend to be more specific than em-dashes -- which can be used haphazardly.
Dunno, I just didn’t get the sense that this had the ring of truth to it.

It reads more like fiction.
I also really enjoyed this book, despite being born in 89. But, at the same time, it felt like the book was just him writing out lists of references, and just saying what was happening. The author is not the best "writer". That being said, the book is good, and ridiculously addicting to read. I read the whole thing over two days and couldn't put it down.
I mean, that's also an interesting question to ask, and a reasonable answer.

But it's not quite my original point - which is that if I don't know my SBUR rate, that would put me off ever starting to use this service. Though of course your competitors may have similar rates I'm just not aware of.
How desperate are you to defend this guy that you repeatedly post the same information which, hilariously, contradicts a rescuer on the ground. So much astroturfing.

Francesca Abagnale :)
The last year, in reverse chronological order:

- Captain Spirit (PS4, the demo of Life Is Strange 2, promising)

- Detroit: Become Human (PS4, a bit repetitive sometimes, a great game nonetheless)

- The Last Guardian (PS4, now my #1 all time favorite)

- Life Is Strange (PS3, an adolescent girl simulator with a—dark—twist)

- Heavy Rain (PS3, is that even possible to get a "good" ending?)

- Destiny 2 (PC, just like Destiny but more of it)

And Twenty on Android, which has made my daily commute feel like teleportation for two years.
Well, at $5/sq ft/mo. for average real estate (Manhattan, e.g. a 600 sq ft apt is $3K/mo), and if a parking space is 180 ft, then that's $900/mo., or $30/day, plus overhead/access.

So $30-50/day seems right, especially considering parking garages tend to be underground, no plumbing, etc., so the space is presumably cheaper than residential/office.

That's funny as first adblockers on Firefox used to just hide divs. Browser was still downloading flash object and images, but was not displaying them
> This behavior is not normal, nor sustainable.

I can't speak to how Linus's personality has changed over time, but for a 27 year old software project, I'd say it hasn't impacted sustainability.
Unless the place you need is "unavailable for download".
One thing though is that the “nice” maintainers of popular open source projects burn out (see Guido’s recent retirement as BDFL). Linus seems to be going strong. I would rather have a mean, effective Linus than a nice, burned out Linus.
Yeah, the title here is extraordinarily misleading. I literally thought that physical custom tile work had been discovered in the Pentagon 9/11 wreckage, which, unbeknownst to the craftsman, was mathematically novel.
You can keep your minivan. Or you just hire a vehicle that has the room you need only when you need it.

Uber already is pretty fast. I just used it in upstate New York north of Albany and there was hardly any wait. Any wait that exists will go down once robotic vehicles becomes dominant.

And pricing will also be important to make that happen. People who want less than 5 minutes wait can pay more, but that will be pretty reasonable priced. It's cheaper to pay for a vehicle to wait for 5 minutes or even 20 than it ever could be to make it wait for 3 hours or 12 hours.

And that IS essentially what we do when we have a vehicle on constant standby. We are paying for the fixed costs of having it wait around all the time. There's a daily cost to tie up that capital. It's 1/30 of your monthly payment. And an hourly cost.

In any case, individuals will be able to choose the option that suits them. And go back and forth. Some days you may value immediate pickup and you could rental a vehicle by the day. Other days you may not care and want to save money. Or you use your vehicle to care around tons of stuff and it's better for you to own. It's all good.
Same. Especially with ideas I have a mental map. For instance I find myself revisiting the topic of type systems every 3-4 years (don't me ask me why - I just am a sucker that way) and each time I find it a lot easier to revisit my last mental breadcrumbs rather falling back on books or notes I may have taken. I think laziness has honed me this way.
This might just be because I'm european, but phillips head screws really are the worst. They are so easy to strip because it is so easy to use an over- or undersized screwdriver. Torx or Hex screws are good because you can't really use the wrong sized screwdriver and the screws doesn't get stripped as easily.
what if they decide to draw the border between countries wherever they want

This seems a bit tin foil hat to me. Has Google been caught doing something like this before with malicious intent?
And the big thing is dangerous misinformation and misconceptions get passed down without professional instruction - you see it all the time.
I think it supports the conclusion very well. If you can microtarget ads at segments of voters, you can find a way to tell different types of people exactly what they want to hear. You can quite effectively prey on their fears and weaknesses, pit them against each other–divide and conquer.

Facebook has long promised more visibility for users into ads, and that would go a long way to fighting this kind of trickery ... if it ever materialises.
2017 blog post.

Gross. The author explicitly brags about being "a terrible human being."

Aside from the sociopathy and embellishment, I get unease about the legality of the means used, considering the agent was contracted.

I could've audited the security controls and arrived at the same deficiencies without abusing people.
Even when smoking is conclusively proved to cause cancer and grotesque pictures of what your lungs will look like are displayed on the pack, people still ignore it and just smoke anyway. I think this effect is partly why people ignore or try and dismiss any possible evidence that this technology could indeed be causing harm. The NTP study has taken a lot of flak in the name of 'discerning' science,but as far as I can see none of it is deserved. (Original authors have responded thoroughly - so much so that they have done video presentation- on youtube)
Probably is, considering it's vice.com.
Is it in the developing world? Mobile is very limited due to small devices and more importantly crippled by design OSes. I've thought for a while that mobile's adoption in the developing world would be a gateway drug for computing and that PC adoption would follow after wages rise and/or PC prices drop.
You underestimate the loss.

It isn't just that businesses lose customers when the parking is full. People don't want to drive there and then have to turn back, so many won't take the risk. The lots may only be 70% full, but the chance that they might be 100% full is enough to make people go elsewhere. Customers expect dependable service.

It's the same with operating hours. If you make your hours completely random, with a decent chance of being closed when customers show up, nobody will bother to make the trip.

I simply wouldn't be able to remember or refer to Russia if it was always called Русский, but I do agree that we shouldn't translate as much as we do. Be it names in translated books, cities, countries, software... For example, the number of translations for a small city in Belgium called Liège/Lüttich/Luik is just confusing, and it's not even a popular tourist destination (everyone drives through it on their way south, but nobody goes there because it looks very ugly when you only drive through it on the highway).
Is Russian mathematical education among the best in the world?
I think they went a little overboard on gifs for this article.
We all remember what peaceful Antifa reform looks like from the Hamburg G20 pictures.
I recently read The Hidden Life of Trees and found it fascinating, even if I left not entirely convinced. There are certainly characteristics of some tree species that look like pro-sociality. I'll be interested to watch where the research goes.
I think you are overthinking the Bay Area?

The Bay Area was built when America was great.

Jobs were plentiful. You could be a hippie, work a chit job, or union job.

You bought a house, and had three kids. People were more spiritual. People didn't know about other cultures because we didn't know about them.

They just built homes.

One of the priciest places to live is Marin County. In the 70's, it was mainly blue collar workers. Before that it was a vacation spot for San Francisco residents. Now--the price of a average home is far from the reach of most Americans.

My point is they just built a bunch of single family homes without much planning.

Tech took off, and made the place some utopia?

You all came here, and look at the place.

In all honesty, I'll be glad when tech money dries up. The traffic is just terrible. Along with too many people who didn't fit the part of a tech worker are homeless now, or have to live with a bunch of strangers.
As a BDFL, it's the only way to survive, unless you're on sedatives your whole life. You very frequently come across ideas that are so unexplainably stupid that the only way to fix them is to stop them in their tracks. Opening a friendly debate about the advantages and disadvantages is just a huge waste of multiple hours, because you'll never end up convincing people that their pet ideas/projects should go back to square one (or square zero in programming). His aggression has turned contributers away from the project and made negative relations, but the end goal is to maintain the Linux operating system, and his aggression, strictness, and blows to self esteem have had a proven effectiveness 10x more than soft discussions.

Think about it this way: A dictator has to be extremely assertive because if he said "No, I don't want that in Linux" with no basis, he'd eventually lose his dictatorship power as people would form their own "unions" to try to change things, making several directionless forks of Linux. If he instead said, "This is a completely idiotic approach and anyone that thinks it's okay is braindead," nobody would question it and most people would just take his word for it. Most heated debates have an equal number of supporters for each side, and it takes someone with a strong voice to remind them that one decision must be chosen regardless.
Interesting that, while the rest of the market is still significant, it's shrinking pretty rapidly compared to the leaders.

The Apple numbers are always a useful reminder of what a bubble I'm in. While 7% isn't trivial, any event I attend has a lot of Macs (and more of the other laptops are probably running Linux than Windows).
I keep a personal knowledge base with notes on people (SOs, colleges they're from, etc.), a todo list with notes for improvements to my process and workflows, passwords and logins, one liners and snippets (though the only one I use frequently these days are SQL snippets), notes on specific projects, ideas for blog posts in progress, various writing drafts, and old bios, CVs, and copy for personal promotion. It's al orgmode, so not much of a distinction between planning and creating, which I enjoy. You can as easily do literate coding in orgmode as write a blog post or keep notes.
I mean, the company pays them to do this. Thats the whole point of pen testing.

Nobody is going to pay attention to a 10 page report. They are instead going to pay attention to the fact that the person successfully got into the building.
Working without a network is niche now?

Anywhere you go far from a city will lack a network.
Sad but true. What's coming post-Vice?
There're accelerators that take in applicants pre-idea, pre-team pioneered by Entrepreneur First(https://www.joinef.com/) from the UK. The cohort size is about 100, and the founders come from diverse industries and backgrounds. It vastly increases the odds of finding a co-founder - a person who has complementary skills, is committed, and wants to start the company at the same time. Though the thought of starting a company with a stranger can be hard to fathom, you have 3 months to test out the working relationship with different people before committing.

Disclaimer: I found my co-founder from the EF program and completed the program.
Theft and other crimes seem to increase the more you remove or disrupt community. In other words, it's not about hostile communities, but the absence of community. In the absence of community, the default is hostility. Or, community is the establishment of non-hostility. Almost by definition. Community is people with common interests in a common location doing favors for each other and looking out for each other. When you have that, crime decreases.

There's also a generic version of the word "community" that people throw around, that can mean almost anything: a town (which isn't automatically a community)... gamers ("the gaming community")... "the Native American lesbian sportfishing enthusiast community"... and so on. I don't mean that.

Anyway, something "community-hostile" would therefore be anything that creates separation and alienation. Among other types of separation, there's separation in the spatial realm, such as through sheer distance (things are far apart), or through side effects of physical barriers that are part of the infrastructure, e.g. walls built to block traffic noise, or streets themselves, especially when wide and dangerous; or through other physical barriers that are more subtle such as the windows of your own car, through which you can see, yet you could easily drive right past your friend coming the other way without knowing it, whereas that would never happen if you were both walking or on a bike or scooter. Well, you say, I can just text my friend on my phone. Exactly, and now you're dependent on the phone maker, the carrier, Apple/Google, etc. for that communication to take place.

Umm, yeah...

Other than pure rent-seeking every single thing under the sun could be considered a "socialist cudgel" by this logic.

I honestly don't understand how they are trying to further their argument by using this quote in the article.
Q&A with Elon Musk – 13 July 2018

Jon Blow's Design decisions on creating Jai a new language for game programmers
The distance traveled will be a bigger part of the cost of robotic travel. That's what happens when you are sharing the capital cost with many other users.

And that is a big part of why AVs will be cheaper. Paying 1/10 of $500 a month is better than paying $500.

The cost will also depend on how big a vehicle you need. For many people going to work, they only need room for one person and a little space for cargo. Paying for 1/4 of a vehicle is cheaper than paying for a whole vehicle.

So even the variable cost of your transportation will go down.
There are many assumptions in your comment - maybe I can provide some anecdata: My mother is from india (so I know what you mean with the problems for foreigners) and my parents were not wealthy for a long time. They still aren't extremely wealthy and I can make more money than my parents combined (but without that job security).

All they've told me was how important education is. But I've dropped out of college anyways. I wasn't very good in school. I didn't care.

I agree with you in general, but not everyone who's able to achieve something got it naturally. My father works 50-70 hours a week and he was the best in school because he had no other chance to study otherwise (he wasn't allowed to get a degree and needed the best grades to get an exception; GDR was a hostile place for intelligent people). My grandfather worked since he was 13 (this was shortly after the war; his father died).

I'm not the type of person who thinks that the world owes anyone anything.

I've learned about how the system works in economics classes in school (we had a very good teacher who showed us the BS in the world) and through psychology books.

There are many money-poor people who give their children the opportunity to grow. As I've said: Many times, it isn't about money and privilege. It's about attitude and mindset - a specific mindset can lead to privileges. Not taking anything for granted, for example. Not immerse oneself in self-pity.

- - -

I still agree with you in general, because the numbers are very clear about it: Social mobility is very low in Germany.

Most poor people have other problems holding them back e.g. some parents were abused in their childhood, so they're unable to give proper emotional support. Many are jealous of the opportunities their kids have (not because they're bad people, but because they never felt loved). Escaping those vicious cycles is extremely hard and we're currently not doing enough to change it. But I still think that our current system enables people who value education and have a certain mental health to move upwards - much better than the system in the US. You don't need to be rich to get good education here or accumulate big debt.
This reads like some bootleg Mr. Robot episode.
"Most people are fine using iPads..."

Tablet sales have yanked though, and touch keyboards suck for writing anything longer than, say, this comment. (Actually, even this given the incidence of typos... Count them!)
