And surely a bed would be way more than double the price of an economy ticket, considering that business class is already often 5 times more expensive for long international flights.
Trump definitely speaks like a lunatic, and I can't parse if any of his opinions come from a place other than feeling slighted, but I see the issue with big tech is that they keep buying up or copying and exterminating competitors. Yes, we derive a lot of value from them, but who's to say that we would not have gotten greater value from a proliferation of social services or from Google not directly harming other specialized search products.

That line of thinking falls on the EU end of the spectrum, where they value market competition versus the US where they look at things just through the consumer lense. It's hard to say which is better.

(under the guise of "safety")

There's no need for scare quotes here. There is a legitimate safety concern: airlines have packed their aircraft with so many seats that it's not possible, in an emergency, to evacuate safely and quickly. The usual certification procedure for a new type of aircraft calls for simulating an evacuation with half of the doors inoperable, and requires everyone out (literally out, not merely "queued up at a door waiting to get out") within 90 seconds from the order to evacuate.

And the argument is that while this is achievable in test conditions, the test conditions tend to involve cabin configurations less dense than what the airlines fly, which means the 90-second evacuation target cannot be met with the planes as they're actually flown. Enforcing changes to return to compliance with the 90-second evacuation does not require enacting any new seat-width or legroom regulations, which is why it's an attractive option for people who want to get something done ("enforce this existing thing" is easier than "draft and enact a new thing").

There are also concerns about survivability of high-density cabins, based on lack of room between rows; flight attendant seats are the place to look here, because they're designed to have a certain minimum amount of space available for a flight attendant's head to swing in the event of a sudden jerk of the body (as in a collision). The high-density passenger seating doesn't have this, and would almost certainly produce head and neck injuries in a real emergency due to everyone's heads smashing into seat backs.

How do you unGoogle? They have my phone, my email. Amazon now follows my grocery shopping at Whole Foods. I doubt Visa and Amex are far behind, it's free money for them so there is no point in canning Master. What a disaster! Ad supported Internet is the root of the problem.
On the other hand, most credit cards already sell transaction data to third parties.
The article doesn't claim that there isn't marketing agencies set up, just that most negotiation is done over DM. And from my impression that's still the case.

How often do you work from a coffee shop? Ever wonder if anyone else in the shop has a minimized wardriver or "blue-driver" sniffing wireless connections? Or maybe their device is infected with a trojan, and a remote attacker is using their device to sniff a random network, which you happen to also be using.

Trump isn't jealous of these companies because of the money they make, he's a billionaire himself and probably owns more stock in them than you or I could afford. He believes they're part of a liberal conspiracy to silence him and is using antitrust as a pretense to threaten them.
Considering in my experience most debit cards are typically MasterCard, good luck.

I wonder if there is or could be a good standard way of providing decoupled tools and their coupled interface.

Last year I wrote a friendly script to search content on YouTube, which prints human-readable content if plugged to a terminal and URLs otherwise, and another one which applies a pattern to turn such YouTube URLs to the underlying video or audio streams using youtube-dl. (I don't think this plays along nicely with YouTube's ToS but whatever I'm the only user.)

The obvious use case is to look at the output of the first command, and then pipe it to the second after choosing what to watch, and find a way to feed that to mplayer. So you'd want to provide a shortcut script, maybe make it interactive… but when does it go from an alias to a new program altogether? This interaction is very intuitive in the browser and I find trying to reproduce it with a CLI tool is quite challenging.

Btw I love ripgrep, it made me look very hip in front of colleagues a couple of times.
People are right to be wary of the very monopolistic nature of the web today. Unfortunately, the powers that be are lead by someone who neither understands the law nor is motivated by honest reasons and isn't wise enough to hide it.
re: Whole Foods, I've never heard of a place that was a food desert but for Whole Foods. You should take your business somewhere else if you don't want Amazon to have data on your grocery purchases.
"Travel is the new materialism."

I wanna argue with this -- I think some portion of the population has a deep-seated psychological personal need to travel for their own internal well-being rather than to perform travel for an audience as a status symbol. But I think there's a pretty strong case that especially with the rise of social media, travel's become much more tightly linked with attention and status.
> But is it right to just remove people because they made a mistake, even a slightly grave one? [...] this post doesn’t seem to explain what went on behind the scenes

The apology omitted the details in an (in my view wise) attempt to take the high ground, but Kyle has been having a full fledged meltdown lately, and that includes a lot of bullying and harassment on both twitter and github (and perhaps on other platforms).

> if there were no other resolutions available or considered.

Even if there was, Kyle hasn't been a contributor to Lerna for some time, and he stated during the controversy that he'd abandoned the project in favour of a competing project Bolt. In the circumstances, keeping Kyle on the team would seem to have no benefits, and removing him has no costs. Even if there were other resolutions (like, I dunno, giving him a stern talking to and telling him not to do it again?) why would that be preferable?
Most people travel to relax, explore and feel better, not to brag.

Why do you think people consume porn instead of having the real thing?

Society still treats travel and vacations as an extravagant, frivolous activity to be "earned", rather than one of the fundamental joys of life which should be regularly experienced.

Also, visiting fictional places will only be possible through virtual tourism, or fantasy tourism if you will.

The main problem is often geoip, and properly using the results of said GeoIP.

Routing the client to the faster one and scaling up to local demands while optimizing given bandwith price is not trivial. Because not everything is Digital Ocean, for example what about Japan? Or Brazil?

Very impulse driven. People usually browse Instagram casually like people browse HN - for general tips, interesting videos and content, and the lifestyle of people they are interested in.

So if you can get someone people look at every day to promote one of your products, and it happens that the person is looking for new shoes / jewelry / style, you can convert those into purchases.
Coastal trees also participate in this ecosystem. Oceanic fog condenses on their foliage, it's often raining under a large tree on a foggy day, and they also create fog. When conditions are right you can see the trees exhale and mist rise up and become fog. Apparently, I've been told, the oxygen isotope ratio changes from oceanic fog to tree-produced fog. (Not by transmutation, of course, but by interchange with isotopes the trees have metabolized from other sources.)

That’s actually a fascinating point because I both in one sense am not denying the device’s generality whilst in another sense indeed defending it’s generality: it might be said that I’m actually saying it’s general because you can run those grids upon virtually any engraved backplane while at the same time since reading off the backplane is all the device does I’d be arguing it isn’t general at all.

There are a lot of people who can only afford one "computer" and so they choose to buy a smartphone with the largest screen. It's their laptop, phone, tablet, tv and gaming console.
That's free market for you; meaning people with more money than you set up a system so even handling money itself costs you money and they also try to squeeze even more money doing shady things such as tracking your shopping patterns.

This is the kind of stuff where the government should have a heavy hand on regulations (unfortunately the members of the government like anyone else are incentivized by money so guess who has a lot of it to "lobby" them.)
Personally, I often use grep to filter results of a pipeline:

some | commands | grep ERROR

In fact I do this so often that I have it aliased to g:

Maybe I could achieve the same with ack/ag/ripgrep, but I somehow mentally associate these tools with searching over a filesystem.
The Boring Company's own FAQ is a pretty damning citation. There is about one question on tunneling [1]. Most of the page is itself devoted to discussing Loop, and even then, it doesn't actually ask any hard questions, such as how they handle capacity or routing, given that the evidence of earlier such systems (e.g., automated baggage handling; PRT systems) is "this stuff doesn't work well."

[1] And there's quite a lot of facts on the page that are misleading or just plain wrong, particularly in the one question on tunneling.

Properly justify it? Read his YouTube page and video list. I didn't even get into the racist shit. I'm going to let you guess what "Who's killing who, by race and gender, FBI statistics" and "Black Son of a MULTIMILLIONAIRE, STILL the SJW victim!" are about.

Before you say "ad hominem:" no, that doesn't apply here. He's not a credible source.
Never get tired of re-reading that short story.

The story also re-stipulates the quote very likely misattributed to Stalin, but likely is from Thomas A. Callaghan Jr.:

Quantity has a quality all its own.

While provenance of the quote is tricky [1] [2], it is generally accepted the US leans towards the "quality" side of the spectrum. This shouldn't be an issue with the purported ideals of the US, unless the US finds itself precipitating a hot war by the MIC and neo-conservative foreign policy establishments with a numerically superior foe.

I'm personally for a "tick-tock" release schedule into a Swiss defensive posture: ratchet up quality in one period, then in the next period distribute the quality gains into a massive materiel and training dispersal program focused on defense of the nation's land itself.

Even that interpretation contains little useful information. It's like some hobby-kit auto engine maker saying "The majority of drivers use our engine kits or they buy a brand name car." Sure, that might be true, but it doesn't say anything about how often that case actually is. In the example I put forth, it's obviously minuscule, and Debian is likely much more common that that, but how much?

It feels like someone at Debian is trying to avoid realy numbers or relative comparisons to make their case sound more important, but all it results in is statements like this where you look at it and go "WTF are they saying, because what it kind of sounds like seem highly unlikely..."
>And they are all in Cupertino

Do you have a source for that? I'm 99.9% sure this isn't true. I've had apps rejected where the screenshots had non-english characters in the status bar, and rejections because the app had no daily content because they were testing at like 3:00 am our time and we publish our daily content around 10:00 am.
I hope that many reviews help having a better idea of the place before going, but I don't trust them too much, for they can be not authentic, or driven by personal feelings. I rely more on qualified reviews like lonely planet guides, 8 out of 10 times they work well for me, and the remaining times are just average, nothing too bad.
That is absolutely correct, but you would probably agree that he also wishes to use his political power to bring that revenue stream to an entity or group of entities that are alligned to him in some way. He wouldn't just destroy that revenue stream and let someone else swallow it up.

I'm not joking, don't be surprised if some consortium of right-wing businesses start getting subcontracting rights over this stufff
The most comparable laptop on the market with the 1050ti Max-Q that I can find are the Dell XPS 15 9570 i7 UHD (tapering width 11-17mm) and there are no reports of overheating in that frame.

Lenovo also chose to go with a monohinge design for two fans and rear heat dispelment, so temperatures should be in control for the most part. Time will tell.

The parent is correct. std::vector is a value type in the sense that everyone else is talking about... All types in C++ are, as their members are not inherently stored on the heap. C++ (and C, and Rust) has types that behave like what other languages call value types, even if there is not any other sort of type.

The mention of array in the parent was referring to the dynamic storage of a vector, not std::array.
While I love software, I was a LEGO head first. Seeing this today just shows what an awesome era we live in. Here's the URL where I found the video--it has more details on the car:

https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news-room/2018/august/tec...

From the article: "The model is the first large scale movable construction developed using over 1,000,000 LEGO Technic elements and powered exclusively using motors from the LEGO Power Function platform. Packed with 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels, the engine of this 1.5 tonnes car is generating 5.3 horse power and an estimated torque of 92 Nm."
Oh dear - the FUD is strong with this one. You’re only required to buy a commercial license if you use Oracle’s JDK beyond their free public updates timeframe and if you want the subsequent security patches etc from Oracle.

While I agree that completely dominating a given platform is probably concern for anti-trust investigation and/or heavy regulations to ensure //regulated access// to that platform, I actually disagree that Google is a monopoly.

Microsoft is still pushing Bing, and I think Yahoo exists; and both of those providers also provide free email services (some under different brand names).

Apple competes on entire phone platforms, and Android as an operating system for phones is provided free to enable a market place across several different manufacturer's devices; that is likely what's saving //Apple// as a monopoly for mobiles.

Amazon for shopping... the Whole Foods horizontal integration may be problematic. I think it depends on how different platforms and services are broken up. It would probably be OK with the correct kind of regulation to ensure that it isn't used as an unfair competitive advantage. In that respect I think Walmart might also have issues.

What I think might improve things is more consumer protections, particularly in the form of requiring reasonable cost access to paid support (even for products that are otherwise free). We've heard of users being locked out of their contact address and account data far too often, even for paying or previously paying users.
I am not so sure. The problem is that you probably would have to rearrange the entire airline industry. You could for instance just run long haul flights from a few places per continent. Then you could engineer an airplane model to just go back and forth in comfort between two places in the middle of nowhere and optimize the hell out of everything. Today everything is so "unorganized" that airline can't even offer a good experience on the ground, which would be the far easiest innovation you could make.

Hey at least the credit card companies are fully transparent - all that is clearly outlined in the 20-page size-3 font terms and conditions you signed up with! /s

It's ridiculous that credit cards, the primary mode of online purchases and strongly preferred by physical retailers, is dominated by just two/three companies... all of which freely sell your purchase histories to other companies.
Alex Jones was kicked off of all these platforms. Trump is decently close with Alex Jones. It's not a coinsidence that when AJ was kicked off a week or two ago, Trump suddenly came out to say that someone could consider breaking up these companies via Federal action.

This is the second time I've seen an article about this, and I still can't understand why people think this is related to net neutrality.

The closest anyone seems to have got is that under some unrelated rules that were changed at the same time as net neutrality was repealed, it's now harder for the firefighters to complain to the FCC that Verizon is breaking some entirely different unrelated rule. Except 1) no one seems to think Verizon is actually breaking that rule, and 2) even if they were, nothing here is related to net neutrality.
