"Some will abuse this." LOL, yeah I'm gonna deal with 9 months of pregnancy, and then several months of recovery, and then raise a kid for 18+ years just so I can get that sweet, sweet leave.

Do people not realize that leave benefits are necessary if you wish to attract high skill workers?
They be arbitrary, but at least SI units are logically scaled. 1 km is 1000 m. Unlike miles to feet, which have no logical scaling.

How is it that the logic is flawed? There are real-world examples of undersized tunnels limited the growth of a subway network. London was specifically called out in the article.
This isn't Bulldozer anymore. Intel has faster single thread performance on some workloads, but the difference for "most workloads" is modest and for the same money AMD is offering more cores, more memory channels and more I/O. For threaded (i.e. server) workloads it has been a solid choice even before these mitigations started eating into Intel's single thread performance lead.

They need more than permission, they need the government to give them exclusive use of property (including, if necessary, acquiring property for them by way of eminent domain.)

Most developers won't just apply and interview at a single job.

I usually interview with 3 or 4 companies when job hunting, and I would hate to have to spend a day at each.
the problem with using a plugin for something like this is that as soon as the plugin becomes popular enough, a third party purchases it from the original developer and adds a bunch of telemetry. stylish is a recent high-profile example, but it happens to small, benign-looking extensions even more often.

the problem has gotten so bad that i no longer use the plugin "store". i only install plugins that are open source, and only by building the source myself... meaning i miss out on automatic updates (but at least i know my plugin isn't spyware!).

it sucks.

The Wikipedia page you linked says she's a "media critic, blogger, and public speaker." It seems to me those are her credentials.
Indirectly: AirBnB can make buying a house more affordable by providing passive income to the home owner that could in theory be used towards mortgage payments etc.
Another anecdote time:

I went to a school that was majority (97%+) Black and wasn’t zoned to any “wealthy” neighborhoods. But out of the top students, the majority were teachers kids, one was the child of a lawyer (now s judge). Only three or four were children of blue collar workers.

There has been a severe brain drain from the city. Most of the minorities (I am one FWIW), that were honors students left after graduating and never came back.

While the school isn’t crime ridden by any means now, it definitely doesn’t have any standout high achievers.

“White Flight” happened shortly after integration in the 70s. High income “Black Flight” happened after all of the children of white collar parents left.
The TOR browser simply blocks access to the canvas itself. Seems like a good addition to the "would you like to grant access to" list.
or you can compile it yourself, or am missing something from you comment?
Yes, I'm aware of the general comments, I was trying to get to the core/specifics. For example, you mentioned multiple times that hardware breaks, can be stolen, the interfaces aren't standard. But all these things are actually true also for your phone: it breaks, it can be stolen (probably much easier than your keys), and chrome extension+push notification I wouldn't really call it more standard than USB.

Again, I'm not trying to downplay Krypton, I like the phone solution a lot, I think it's much more usable than security keys. I use push notifications all the times e.g. via DUO. But I still think we need physical security keys against online attacks, for example as a mechanism to secure your phone itself.

On the topic of large cars, what is the solution here?

I can imagine forcing people to replace A/C units won’t be so objectionable, especially if it’s free to do so, but there may be some real opposition to requiring people to drive different cars. Nobody gets attached to an A/C.

I don’t drive right now - I take public transport everywhere - but I’d love a large car (a Dodge RAM). If I try to buy something small to be conscious of my carbon footprint and energy usage, I think I will end up buying the large car a few years later.

Is there anything at-all I can do to drive a large car while not being part of the problem? I’m looking into carbon offsetting, but that’s all I am aware of for the time being.

I wish Dodge would make an electric RAM 1500, that could make this much easier.
I think it absolutely is hard. Almost everything in life is more complex than most people think. Even in-state vs out-of-state tuition. Kids don't have control over where their parents choose to raise them. Why should Kid A have to pay twice as much to get the same education as Kid B just because Kid A happened to live 3 miles on the other side of the state border? That can make you feel trapped, like you're stuck in whatever little hellhole you were born in (especially if you have non-supportive parents). I can understand why a resident discount makes sense, but at the same time, sometimes I feel like it should be backwards -- give out-of-state residents the discount -- just to encourage new young adults to get out of what they've known their whole life as "normal", and see that things don't have to be like they are. Move the example just a little bit to kids from Brownsville, TX vs kids from Matamoros, Mexico (also < 3 miles away), and tell me that the issue isn't hard.

To not be purely depressing, I'll present an example of something I think is a step in the right direction: At least some universities are good about giving out scholarships to low-income students that offset the difference between in/out-of-state tuition.

Well, we already know that U2F comes "built-in" in some laptops (which I think defeats the purpose of U2F, but that's another issue).

And phones makers are starting to adopt "hardware security modules" (just Pixel 2 so far, not sure about the new Samsung ones) and Android 9 is giving app developers access to them via API.

So I guess in theory one could turn the phone into an actual "U2F security key," for all intents and purposes?

> I find it incredibly interesting that a company can make these sort of demands for a change that the determine is better for society. Wonder if people will consider this a grass roots change for worker good or the unwanted imposing requirement of a a mega-corporation.

Not just any company; Microsoft, a huge multinational.

If its a positive change, it is warranted. The first year of a child is very important for the connection with his or her parents. [1] Also, the first 3 months are very hectic (our baby is half a year now so I can attest). With paternity leave a father can support both the baby and his/her mother. So it is a win-win for men and women (and, in a way, feminism).

I think there is also a psychological effect. Knowing you're getting paid while vacationing is a lot more comforting than thinking about all the hours of pay you're not getting. I think this would fall under a similar effect to how JC Penney removing their sales pricing and just pricing their clothing accurately caused a decrease in sales because people didn't get that feeling of victory that they're making a strategic purchase.
I like a full day interview because it allows me to get a good look at the office, the environment of people around it, and meet 4-5 prospective coworkers and get a fuller assessment.

However, the day is truly grueling. I interviewed @ Google Cambridge a few years ago (spoiler: did not get the job) and was exhausted by the end of the day I could barely think. My throat was parched from basically performing some sort of stream of consciousness dialogue so that my interviewers were able to assess my problem solving technique and going through corner cases. It's a marathon for sure..
So it should be okay for your use case but not others?
That's why parental leave should apply to both parents/all genders. I believe one of the Nordic countries has a law on the books that gives a fixed period of time per child and parents can split it between parents as they wish.
> I really don't get the hate this is receiving

It seems Musk went the usual hype wave way. Once it was cool to like things he does. Now it is cool to hate what he does.

It's not helping that his behavior on twitter reinforced that trend but it was one already before that.
I doubt that any single solution would work for your entire country.

It works fairly well here in The Netherlands. The country is flat but it does have cold winters (two weeks of snow/ice and two-three months of close-to-or-under-freezing temperatures).

Whenever I have worked within cycling distance (15km or somewhere with a viable train connection) I've cycled all year round.

It would work in a city such as New York (which has a similar climate to here); the metro is already great for the bulk of the journey and bikes/e-bikes would work great for the last part. You'd just have to replace the cars.
Get a clue and do the math. (Seriously, this is a one-to-two hour google for info and apply third-grade arithmetic back-of-an-envelope project.) Batteries are NOT the answer - the quantity of batteries required is astronomically beyond the world's battery production capacity, even in Musk's most fevered dreams. Seriously - the mining impact of REALLY trying to build enough batteries to stabilize an area the size of CA would increase mining pollution worldwide by an order of magnitude or more...
> the tunnel would complicate any possibility of rail under Sunset connecting Hollywood with Downtown

Which I'm sure is right around the corner, guys.
The way Europe deals with cars is they tax the bejezus out of them, and gasoline also.

In some countries, half the price of a new car is tax.

That is why people drive little toy cars there. Everyone would like a nice big comfortable car but they are unaffordable for most.
These sorts of transitions take a lot of time. There's a lot of infrastructure to build and a lot of infrastructure to decommission.

In addition to the political problems, extensively noted by others here, there are also the social problems.

Power plants and the associated industries are full of low-skill/education workers. Some can be re-trained into other industries, but some cannot.

An example is happening right now in Arizona. With so many coal plants being shut down, the Navajo Nation and other nearby tribes are being devastated.

These are already people who were dirt poor, living in a place that few want to go. There's few opportunities for employment. The one industry they had was supplying coal to utilities as far away as California. They even built a pipeline to flush coal clear across the state to Nevada.

Now all those jobs are going away, and there's zero industry left.

They're trying to build solar farms, but companies like Southern California Edison aren't interested in buying the power because solar plants can be built closer to home, and don't need new transmission lines to be built.

So a bunch of left coast technocrats get to pat themselves on the backs for saving the environment, while further marginalizing the people who saved the environment for them for a thousand years.
The same thing happened with the West Atlantic cod fishery collapse in the 1990s. We had a mechanism for excluding people from fishing (Catch quotas), markets had global visibility and insight, and speculative financial instruments, which by that point were quite well developed.

We went from having record-breaking harvests of cod to no cod, at all. There was a collective agreement, to prevent over-harvesting of cod - and all the participants in the agreement lobbied the Canadian government to lift its restrictions (Which it did, contrary to the advice of the scientists studying cod.) A few years down the road, the fish was gone, and the fishermen went broke.
Authoritarian governments don’t have to answer to individual communities so long as the overall population has their basic needs covered and only minorities are dissatisfied.

California is one of the more democratic (small “d” is the relevant one here) of the States, and that generally means compromise, transparency (making horse trading more difficult), accountability and compensation for the dissatisfied, no matter how small of a minority they might be.

If San Francisco and Los Angeles could just dictate terms and agreed that it is better that the 4 or so largest population centers in the State have a direct high speed rail line with each other, you could eschew all of that and get it done in a few years.
==I’d be guaranteed to not get hired.==

The "hole" is that they think construction costs are too high based on "engineering literature". While the literature does undoubtedly say this, Musk's MO with SpaceX is doing things way, way cheaper than competitors, so I'm interested to see how he handles it.
> But if some party starts threatening someone with 'That's not what "Slack" means! We're the authoritative source on the meaning of "Slack"', a hacker should resists.

Okay but they didn't do that. Slack is concerned about someone using their name in relation to third party, unaffiliated software which is obviously related to their own software. Slack the messaging company doesn't care about the use of Slack outside of that niche.

If you wrote a browser extension called "BetterSlack" that emulated Slackware in your browser, Slack wouldn't care. If you wrote a browser extension called "DontSlackOff!" that automatically restricted the time you could procrastinate on Hacker News or reddit, Slack wouldn't care.

Slack cares about its brand, not being the canonical authority on an English word use of that word in products. The idea that Slack cares about uses of the word that don't have anything to do with its own software seems like a willful misinterpretation of the point. This is a pretty mundane legality and has nothing to do with hacker culture or "resisting" anything.

New construction of nuclear plants is constitutionally limited in California and has been since well before I was born. Existing capacity is just leftover from before that era.
Another super-negative article. Let them try and pay for it I say. As a fellow nobody, I'd never think to stand in the way of folks attempting to improve things.

The route is good. I've often thought the Red line itself should go a more direct route down Sunset. The Vermont leg could be reused as a north/south from Exposition to Griffith Park where traffic is also horrendous. The Purple line uses the rest. Unlikely in my lifetime, however.

There are a few errors in the article as well. The red line turn where the map shows it connecting is an open plaza in the middle of a three road intersection:
Hollywood-Prospect/Vermont/Sunset.
Errr... reading your points I presume you've never really done that (notifying a service provider).

> Why don't you contact police or the site owner instead?

Police? Seriously? My police here in germany or the italian police? What do you think will happen? Right: nothing.
Site owner? If you can tell me the site owner from an IP... I will do that.

> You risk prosecution.

By telling a service provider that they host malicious content and should do sth. about it? Now that's an interesting view.

> If it's a brazen criminal using their own host [...] No customer support required.

The customer support was the only way to contact the provider. It doesn't matter if they are housing or hosting malicious content. They are at least partly responsible, especially if someone is telling them.
One of the main reasons they say they'll build tunnels cheaper and faster is because they plan to make their tunnels half the diameter of other tunnels. It's like someone saying they can make cheeseburgers faster and cheaper than anyone else, but when you order one they bring you a slider instead of a normal full size burger.
"Technically correct" is actually an issue with alternative energy. A lot of tax credits out there for stuff that meets some legal standard but doesn't accomplish anything.

Or you could realize that natural gas is a far superior energy storage mechanism, and the cleanest fuel available. Fracking, and the consequent reduction in natural gas prices, is directly responsible for the US dropping its CO2 production faster than any other major country...

> vertical-drum washing machines (!!!)

There are a number of issues with front-loading washers. While they use less water, they are also worse at cleaning clothes and much worse at sanitizing them. There was a recent post here on HN where a biologist did several experiments in her own washer to show how poorly they sanitized things compared to her older one. They also tend to trap water in the bottom and it gets musty and moldy, which with my spouses allergies is a non-starter.

But I whole-heartedly agree with your other issues. Moving from the Midwest, I can't believe how poorly insulated things are in CA. Our first apartment in Santa Monica had windows that didn't even seal properly when closed. You could very easily stick a sheet of paper through the gap between the window and the frame when it was supposedly closed. Some people even have glass louvres instead of windows in their bathrooms here!
Hopefully "market forces" will cause this to occur as a by-product of this legislation.

>The only difference between the F-35 program and the Fed's quantitative easing programs is that the F-35 program provided significant benefit to main street businesses and households.

You got that backwards, QE prevented (at least temporarily) a Depression, which would have impacted mainstreet businesses and households far more than whatever benefits they’ve gained from the F-35 have (nothing imho).

The jury is still out whether the Fed can unwind QE with a soft landing or not, but so far it’s been far more beneficial to Main Street than the F-35.
This is why you need parental leave to not just be possible for both parents but actually used by both parents. If it’s actually called maternity leave rather than parental leave that’s a warning sign.
