There aren't many cases where having an X-ray done a little faster would be massively helpful. Emergency department physicians and trauma surgeons can read an X-ray for acute trauma in a matter of seconds, and doing the X-ray itself doesn't take more than a few seconds either. It's hard to think of a pathology that would show up on X-ray but not through the patient's presentation or physical exam. Going off memory, I can't think of a situation where an X-ray would be the crossroads that determines what I do next for the patient. Also, an X-ray done in a moving ambulance is probably going to be of fairly low quality. In most cases, they'd just have to redo it in the hospital.

The mobile CT scanner is also not super helpful for much other than determining whether a potential stroke patient has a grossly hemorrhagic stroke. In that one case, it is beneficial, but I don't think mobile CT scanners are used for much else.
You can tell, based on what we are badgered about in the UK at least, what stuff is presumably expensive to treat: drinking-related stuff (health effects, violence, general misadventure), smoking (esp. tobacco), eating shit food and not doing any exercise, driving too fast or carelessly and getting into an accident (see also: drinking).

I've never seen anything about martial arts, or indeed about sports in general. I'm sure it costs more than £0/year to treat the resulting injuries, just not enough more to make it worth worrying about by comparison.

Here's a 1 TB microSD card [1]. No such product legitimately exists [2], so it must be a data-destroying counterfeit.

It may come as a surprise, but I have used Amazon. Both on a professional and personal basis! (I say this tongue in cheek).

I know businesses that depend on Amazon.com as a primary sales channel were affected, but they don't pay Amazon to sell their product (maybe Pro merchants are the exception). I think they owe us Prime members an outage report even more on that basis.

In any case, I think it would be a good idea for them to write an incident report, but don't think it's comparable.

edit: I give. Like I said, I think it's different than AWS/GCP outages, but I think your point is great and I think it's a good idea they pubish a report on it. Look forward to seeing it someday.
Hmm I thought the throttling stuff was just affecting the 15" with an i9, but this article mentioned the i7 had problems, too. Is the i7 in a 13" affected?
bools can be silently converted to int. 1 + true is ok, but 1 + "true" throws.

Sometimes you do want to do math on bools, but it would avoid a class of errors if they would make you wrap them in 'int(the_boolean_variable)'.

The division operator was one of the things that changed in Python3. In Python2 the (/) with integer arguments is integer division, rounded down. Python3 introduced (//) for integer division and now (/) always does floating-point division.

People have been giving their money to Apple before they even flaunted a strong pro-privacy stance, and I have yet to see an ad from Apple that I did not opt in for (although their recent Apple Pay emails have been slightly annoying, given that I'm in a country where I cannot use Apple Pay but there's no option to opt-out from only Apple Pay related emails while still receiving offers for other Apple services.)

Every virologist I know considers viral replication to be a process of the virus. This argument is like saying "Humans themselves don't build porches, they just force their power drills to."

And while there's no rule that prevents that, I don't know of a single drug - or even the suggestion of a drug - that's capable of integrating with a bacterial host genome, producing the needed compounds, and then exporting them out of the cell.

Seems to me people that have a job title where the first letter begins with "C" and rhymes with "Reef" are given a much wider berth when it comes to the types of thing that would get the average worker thoroughly passed over in job screenings.
Not everyone would be off the same days. In one position I worked we did 12 hour shifts that included a paid lunch. The schedule was 3 days work 4 days off, then 4 days work 3 days off. In a two week period you actually worked 84 hours instead of the normal 80 hours in two week. The difference though was we accomplished a lot in the 3 or 4 days of work because there wasn't enough time in the week to procrastinate too much. Keep in mind this was a 24/7 team environment and it was organized so that your alternates (people on opposite schedule) would take over anything you didn't finish and vice versa.
There seems to be a sentiment that Python is a kids language - but I think of Python as a language that scales with your experience. You can do some really interesting and complex things and I’m really appreciative of my deep understanding of the language through a decade of heavy use, open source contribution, and project ownership.

Recently I released a package which allows you to dynamically create or change function signatures and went deep into `typing` and `inspect`, and found the experience rewarding.

That's not an implicit type conversion, that's just a different convention for what '/' should do on integers.
That's the conventional wisdom. I'm just saying I find that hard to square with poisoning folks in London and issuing dick-swaggering videos like this. Those look like actions taken to boost local popularity and quiet internal dissent: "Look how great we are! Also if you cross me I'll find you wherever you may be hiding and poison your ass."

I don't doubt that his position is mechanically secure. But he's still just one guy, and the oligarchs as a whole control more of the money, and they're all hurting right now.
These are all very good points. I recently visited the midwestern city near where I grew up and was AMAZED, as a longtime SF resident, at the spacious cafes in gorgeous brick and timber buildings that would cost millions on open in SF. At the craft bars where liquor licensing was no problem. At the super cheap houses you could drive to in 10 minutes where the biggest cost was probably renovation. And seemingly more young, progressive-ish people out and about in the city than I remember. Diversity definitely an issue but pretty LGBT friendly and solidly blue state politics.

But... This all overlooks the major draw to SF which is work. It's the center of our industry. With all that can be said about remote work, it's harder to find the right gig that way. And there is a lot to be said for the more diverse, cosmopolitan culture here.

It's written in a contract between me and the company, and cannot be unilaterally changed. The language is pretty clear, and matches the company's actions. It's not "graciously provided", it's contractually obligatory.

You're trying to remind me that the company is not my friend, it's a machine. I fully agree. But certain things, like not making me leave the company just to have a 3 months of vacation, are just profitable for the company. The same way paying me my salary is profitable for the company, and they won't cut it unless things would go really bad for the company.

I've been working with design patterns for about a year, I'd say the best way for me is to actually build something with a goal in mind.

For example, if I'm trying to design a screen that has an interactive inventory list, what kind of components do I need? A search bar? What would a search bar look like? What would it look like before it's typed? What would it look like after it's typed?

Then I usually like to go to https://material.io/design/ and go look at their components for guidance
Hello everyone! @olivercameron, CEO of Voyage here.

Drew is currently busy at our Testing Grounds shipping a new release, but if there's any Voyage or self-driving car related questions I can answer, I'd love to hear em'!

> Hence why I said (e.g. our communications satellites), which in English means communications satellites are examples of useful things with solar panels attached "floating" in space...

What you actually said was:

> You don't need to build the entire thing, just some solar panels floating in space an attached to something useful (e.g. our communications satellites) fit the bill.

Where the implication is that we'd attach these solar panels to something useful and that an example of something useful is the communication satellite. Whereas you wanted to infer that communications satellites were the entire enchilada, a solar panel attached to something useful. Which is also a bit disingenuous as the panel is a part of the satellite, the power source, not an add-on. Which pretty much led to the confusion.

> A Dyson swarm is an orbiting collection of artificial satellites, orbiting the sun.

That's a reduction as to what it actually is. A big part of the Dyson architecture is to capture and use the energy provided by a star. Simply having a satellite orbiting the Sun would not fit the bill.

And a space based solar power satellite does not exist. Because it's more expensive to launch and implement than it would return. All current solar power on satellites provide enough power to power themselves. That's it. What you are asking for is something different.

NASA themselves says that a SBSP satellite is decades away at the earliest. And any proposition to be speculative at best.

And yes, necessity is technically the mother of invention but it can't change the laws of physics. It can't change the cost of what's necessary.

> You're deluded if you think you can get random people on HN to defend their statements to a level you'd be happy with.

This is just a dodge. You've done nothing but say "It's not unforeseeable" and "It's inevitable". You haven't actually provided a reason as to why you think that. I'd be happy with anything more than a handwave in the general direction of the actual issues facing building a Dyson swarm.

> Honestly I don't have the time, and even if I did I don't care.

You do care, you just don't really have any answers besides the blind faith of "technology". Which is no better than blind faith in anything. Believing technology will get better doesn't actually make it better.
The original minimum wage laws were born of overt racism. I assume you don't mean to dismantle them with this line of argumentation? Or do you?

So far, I have heard that Prop 13 was really about landlords and corporations (different comment in this thread) and now it's about racism. In my neighborhood, disproportionately long term minorities would be effected more under your proposal of dismantling Prop 13 and landlords and corporations don't rent out of charity... they'd raise rents to cover taxes so ultimately renters cover that cost anyway. I wonder what other boogeymen and tropes we're going to trot out to rationalize opposition to Prop 13 rather than get to the heart of the matter.

It's very easy to speak out against something and to rally both emotion and self-righteous indignation against someone you oppose... but much harder to convince someone that what you stand for is right.

Tell you what; I'll join you in the cry to demolish Prop 13... but only is so far as it means paying for the infrastructural costs that a property tax might be construed to be proper to fund. So we take the operating costs of fire, police, sewer, water, roads... you get the gist, for the year passed and only their existing programs, add an amount the equal to the annual rate of inflation, and the charge me for the coming year my pro rata share of those costs on a square footage basis... which is more reflective of what my household consumes than its market value, arguably you could also put a head count in there, too. If you wanted to expand essential services, do that via automatic existing program expansion/retraction based on changes in population or a vote of the property owners that fund them. If you want to include renters in that vote, fine, but then measures like rent control or other protection of those renters from the financial reality they vote on the property owners is out: no skin in the game, no voice.

No? Then tell us really why you want this and really what you stand for.
The important things:

1. the smell varies from can to can (age etc). That’s why people have very different experiences when opening one.

2. The smell is not like the flavor. It tastes like salty anchovies with a bit more punch.

3. Other than a few hardcore fans, people generally don’t eat the fish alonelike you would e.g with pickled herring (the other Swedish herring staple). You have it (sometimes quite little, depending on how much you like it) on a huge piece of hard bread together with lots of other things like potatoes. The exact combination of things on the sandwich is the cause of family feuds. It’s like anchovies on a pizza vs eating a can of anchovies...

4. If you meet a Swede they will most likely have tried it, but probably don’t like it. It’s only commonly eaten in the northern half of the country, while most people live in the south.
> As soon as they cross those borders a different body of law applies.

Yeah, but declarations of war (whether with or without magic words) aren't really important in a legal sense in that domain. Alexander Hamilton observed that they were falling out of use internstionally before the US Constitution was ratified, and the post-WWII international order has essentially made them moot with the recognition of aggressive war as a crime against peace. Fighting a defensive war once hostility was initiated (or, perhaps, clearly imminent) has long been accepted as valid with or without declaration, so with aggressive war itself a crime, there is no war legitimized by a formal declaration.

The international laws governing armed conflict are operative based on the fact of such conflict and the identity of the parties to it, not declarations of war.
There is also a curry plant that is unrelated to all of this.

> When you're poor, you can't afford to buy massive bags of rice and store them airtight to keep out insects, so instead you buy small portions which are much more expensive. You can't afford the time to cook the rice, and you don't have anything decent to season it with.

This sounds like it was written by an alien trying to reason about poverty from first principles. I've been poor. Nothing prevented me from buying big bags of rice. I wouldn't have had any trouble keeping insects out of that bag. And, despite myths about the noble, ever-working poor man, I had more than enough time to cook it.

I mostly bought shit food because I liked eating shit food. There's no reason to imagine further impediments. That one's sufficient.

Can you give some feedback about how good the output is?

We design very customized websites with complex layouts (box titles that are off-canvas etc).

I would love to reduce the amount of time that the developers need to realize a design. Our designers are usually much faster than the developers and they become the bottleneck in most projects. If the output is usable for production (and not a position:absolute nightmare), I would love to use something like this.

I don't care about incompatibilities with Zeplin and studio-wide usage as long as it has a good HTML and CSS quality (responsive, modular and clean).

* Payment mechanism (Amazon Pay)

* E-commerce interface (Sell on Amazon)

* Services marketplace (Selling Services on Amazon)

* Advertising (Advertise on Amazon)

* Warehouse/logistics provider (Fulfillment by Amazon)

Amazon, eBay, or your own ecommerce website problems can cost exactly as much business as AWS, GCP, or your own data center problems.

That's a common misunderstanding. Python's type system is in the unit tests necessary to ensure the code is doing what it should. This is a boon because all of the behavioral rules are co-located for efficient reference. ;)
You're right. One of my motivations building this platform was to get people OUT of subreddits and discourse channels and get mixing in the open. You're right though. I'll be setting something up to pair with my newsletter for now.
Back when I was getting more serious about programming (2010-ish), I had to decide between Perl vs Python as those two were the most widely used in my domain (bioinformatics).

I remember one of the argument for Perl was exactly this: the vast number of libraries in CPAN. You would be able to do tasks much quicker because you would just need to install these libraries and go on with your tasks.

Still, I decided to go with Python because it made so many 'click' for me about programming in general + because of its REPL, among other things.

It turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made :).

In my opinion, I think GraphQL offers enough over REST to be a total replacement. Especially now that the vast majority of clients are mobile, IoT, etc, the benefits of GraphQL make outlier cases rare. This is natural, the GraphQL authors had the benefit of hindsight. I'm not disparaging roy's work, it's a stepping stone. But REST as a design pattern was rarely implemented as he envisioned it. When it was done correctly, you end up with much of the same benefits as GraphQL.

To me that would only be relevant if I'm doing super performance sensitive stuff, and if that's the case I wouldn't be using Python.

I've been programming in both C and Python for years and never once have I had to consider reference counting in Python.
