The city has no responsibility to counteroffer, or even to waste any time or money considering the proposal. It's up to Elonrail to make a realistic proposal to the city if he hopes to get approval for his boondoggle.

in the meantime: the region makes money from the project in the process.
Based on the submitted financial plan for the Elonrail, it would earn maybe $250,000 a year. It would several tens of millions just to tunnel, not including the hundreds of millions to build the many stations along the way that Elon has proposed, or the millions it would take to build all the carts.
I spent some time on this a while ago and it's not quite as simple as I'd hoped.

People typically need to be facing/laying along the axis of flight for the seatbelt to work. If you're laying at 90 degrees and there's a big (de/a)cceleration and you have a belt across your waist, you get folded in half hanging off the bed.

If you stack three people on top of each other then the you need egress (space one one or both sides of the beds) which takes up a bunch of space to get back/forward. Most seats have the aisle as egress but you need more mini-aisles for bunkbeds. You might want to divide it and say some people have egress forward and some backward to save the space... but if there's some kind of emergency you want people to be able to go whatever way they want.

If you think about roughly the volume of 3x3 seats (9 pax) then roughly speaking you could have three sets of three bunkbeds. But the curvature of the airframe means you don't have the same height near the window you do in the middle of the plane, and you may take away cabin baggage space. One way to get around this is to make the lowest bunk very low, like an inch off the deck, but that would mean a smaller market as you have to have pax who can get down low or climb up to the top.

All of this is assuming you're trying to go for the same kind of density of pax as a plane has today. If you just want two bunks and charge more, or you want to have a seat and a bunk (so you sleep only half the flight or something then someone else gets the bunk...) then the space requirements all change. You can also just have some bunks or just in the middle rows on a widebody and on the outside have seats.

Lastly, my memory is the flight computers will try to direct smaller aircraft movements in the vertical axis / pitch angle. Again from memory, but people get really sick if they have a bunch of movement side to side or at some other funny angle their vestibular system isn't used to. And with bunkbeds you might not have a window to look out of for a frame of reference to help. This is another constraint on how you lay people out on the plane.

It's all fixable kind-of but not just "put in a bunch of bunkbeds and make the same amount of money / same price per seat-mile". Someone with more knowledge can probably list all the reasons the FAA wouldn't allow it.

I still want bunkbeds though.
Local homeowners win. Property values rise and you have the option of monetizing your house.
What is the current status of this? The last time I heard, the OS fixes would impact CPU performance by 30%. Is this still the case? Will new iterations of Intel CPUs be immune to this, or is this an ongoing issue going forward because it's inherent with the architecture?

Russia doing shitty things to its neighbors and rivals is not Russophobia, that's just reality.

Standing up to russian meddling in our internal affairs isn't russophobia, and anyone arguing otherwise is intentionally playing games.
That is not necessarily true. Singair is supposed to run all business class on their new A350ULRs from Singapore to NYC. I do agree about faster planes. I am really rooting for Boom to become a commercial success so others will follow.

And in a distant land, someone is advocating change to increase productivity and wage growth, and to have more full time employees. Then someone will respond with a comment with "Nice sentiment, but that will invite behavior to cut costs by slashing benefits like paid parental leave".

Thinking this way is falling for the "default effect" (sorry, I don't know the proper name).

Of course enacting this will have effects. That alone is not a problem.

Don't assume a default (i.e. the status quo). Examine both options, look at the pros and cons of each, and pick one. Don't frame it as "If we go this route, this is what will change." That's automatically making the status quo as the reference point. There's no good reason it should be one.
> I've not tried it, but they also suggest you can compile your own binaries from that source to get around the untrusted binary problem.

You could... Except that, if I'm not mistaken, "All Rights Reserved" doesn't allow you to compile and use the code in any way, including diffing.

IINAL, is that an incorrect reading?
Well there's the portability of grep which is better for scripts. Besides that, most if not all times I do a simple `ag pattern file`, I'm interested only in the results and not in the location. I'm probably preparing the pattern to output something to provide to another command via stdin or substitution and at those times (which is also in the interactive command line), I want to see exactly what I'm going to pass in. To remove the numbers ag adds by default, I have to use --nonumbers, which is weirdly long given that one of the main benefits of ag is the brevity of the commands (ag is short and easy to type, no need to include options -r, -i, -P, or -n (when needed)). Instead of using that option, I just switch to grep. I really wish ag changed that default to be consistent with grep and ack or at least change the way its options are negated, like making it a short option and negating like +N.

EDIT: I just saw your comment where you stated you're the author of rg. I honestly haven't tried it before until now. It seems you also chose to output line numbers by default in that case, but it's nice that you have -N. If you don't mind me asking, do you have an option like ag's undocumented -W which allows specifying a max line width for which a matching line is displayed? Regularly when searching a hierarchy a match happens on a generated file where everything is on a single line and so my terminal prints the millions of characters line. -W displays an bracketed ellipsis once the max width is reached on a line.
> A380 promised it.

And they delivered it. First class on any of these planes is quite comfy even for extended periods of time. But it ain't cheap.

The problem is not that the service doesn't or can't exist. The problem is that it costs more than most people can afford. It's an economic problem, not a technical one.
Depends, it takes about 20-30 minutes to start a jet; do all the pre-flight checks, etc. Add to that boarding, cleaning, etc. and most planes would be on the ground for at least half an hour and probably closer to an hour in between flights. That's plenty of time to recharge.
I mean, it's not like your iPhone was made in Missouri.
Interesting, I was thinking you could use the pressure differential to flow epoxy into the hole before sealing pressure to stop flow and heating to cure, but makes sense that an epoxy bandaid would probably do just as well - probably good enough to just slap that over the hole.

Will they apply to both inside and out? Will epoxy cure properly if totally exposed to the cold low pressure of space?
I always enjoy seeing a list of programs that people recommend, and there are quite a few on here that I use myself as well as some that I will need to check out. In addition, there are a few noteworthy Mac apps that I would also recommend:

- Quicksilver - Similar to Alfred and Spotlight, Quicksilver is a free application that allows you to perform application functions with keybindings. I also use it to easily use search engines and create custom keybindings. It's beginning to show its age, but it's a great free alternative and still has an active plug-in scene.

- OpenEmu - Easily the best video game emulator suite I've ever seen. A clean interface, very easy to view and manage your games and installed emulator cores. I find competing products like Retroarch to be a nightmare in terms of UI, OpenEmu simply feels clean and easy to use.

- MacVim - A GUI Vim editor. Combines the versatility of Vim in a modern Mac application.

- Quiver - A note-taking app, similar to Evernote. However, Quiver also supports note taking in both Markdown and LaTeX, which I find very useful. There is also a phone app, and can sync notes via Dropbox between them.

- Aseprite - Drawing software focused on creating pixel art.

- PICO-8 - Create retro-inspired games in Lua.

There's also a number of more well-known applications that I would recommend, but are probably famous enough that I don't need to go into detail, such as Firefox, F.lux, and GIMP.
If your team isn't delivering on weekly sprints something is wrong. Perhaps you are over committing. If you are resorting to two week springs to forgo the useless double hour loss of the sprint plan / follow up demo, then sure, I get it.

In any of the two above cases it sounds like you have a weak team on your hands. When you push to treat the subject like a marathon it makes the business people nervous.

When you are on an incremental weekly delivery cycle, and things are late, it is usually only late by one or two of those weekly cycles. BUT, If things are late on a "marathon cycle" they are usually late by a "marathon length".

You sort of have to keep in mind that there's a rather large reason that there was a push by the business people to force faster cycles. You and your team are expensive. Weekly or bi-weekly goals show your accounting department that they are receiving assets.
Did your charter school have entrance requirements?
I don't see anything wrong with this - we're still so new in social media (it's only a couple decades old), so its constantly evolving no different than the "wild west" Internet days.

The only concern I have is the experience they are earning. In a "traditional" summer job (car wash, manual labor, cashier, etc.), you gained experience in something I'd call "grit" - harsh work conditions, people yelling at you, etc.

Being an Instagram model or YouTuber still deals with its share of internet trolls, but are people learning to handle when things "won't go their way"? I don't think that's the term I'm looking for, but just the overall "not enjoying the work" part of, well... work!

My concerns are because people are failure-averse, we hate negativity. A YouTuber/Instragammer can simply not read the comments, or selectively filter the comments. Are they getting the same "grit" experience as the more traditional work environments I mentioned above?

EDIT: As you'll see in my responses to comments - what about non-person "grit"? Does being an Instragram model or YouTuber develop the grit to push through the annoying/boring/tedious/stressful parts of making money? When you a digging ditches, you don't exactly get to "ignore" the negative parts of the job. When learning, you don't get to "ignore" the struggle of not understanding something. Grit or perseverance (pick which one you like better), is a necessary skill that more physical jobs teach. Being the center of some social network clique, does not.
> If my opinions applied to power production, I'd be proud to help decom a coal plant and install a brand spanking new nuclear or solar plant

Would you feel the same way if you went from making $100k /year to $50k/year doing this? That's part of the problem. You have to be okay taking a substantial paycut, or losing your job entirely, when you decomm the previous system. Not that same as doing so when you're a software engineer.

Single income in your family and having to start out from scratch? Of course people are going to cling to their chance at a middle class life by their fingernails in a fossil industry job.
My apartment in Westwood last year had a heater but no AC, used the heater a grand total of zero times. Makes you wonder why they ever installed it in the first place...

The primary usage us just a special case of its primary purpose. You're concatenating the file with nothing.
Actually, compared to a private jet, commercial first class is ridiculously cheap, like an order of magnitude less.
> It's totally common and perfectly innocent to casually mention that "you know, this issue we're discussing on this thread I also have a work, and why do you say this approach sucks and which do you then suggest".

The structure of the comment in question is also relevant:

"This is a real production issue for me, so could you [...]"

This reads like a demand if you parse it in spoken English.

If it helps, imagine working in retail and hearing a disgruntled customer ask you to hurry up and give them priority service. Their request might be structured like, "I need to pick my kids up from school at 3, so could you hurry it up?"

Your word choice is far less demanding than theirs. If they wrote their comment the way you just wrote yours, it wouldn't have struck me that way.

The entire reason I brought it up was because I was unsure of the intent. They clarified their intent. I believed them. Life moved on. You're still trying to litigate this.

But none of this matters. What matters is, they didn't intend it that way, and JWT sucks.

> In fact it happens all the time on HN, between regular developers, the occasional star scientist or programmer (from Alan Kay to Ryan Dahl and Dan Brown), and even far more important and busy pros than some security expert, and I've never heard anybody counting their lost pennies from what they'd have gained if they charged for talking to them...

To be fair: me neither. But knowing how humanity is, I wouldn't totally discount that it does happen somewhere on the Internet (maybe even HN).
> Is your comment 'the good kind' of word of mouth advertising - where it seems organic and there's no transactional gift voucher or discount code shared with the influencer's audience ?

Hey, it's just a free month (we don't offer that anywhere else) - we're currently going through the advisor track of YC Startup School and if we can help anyone out there (for free) in return for some feedback, we're happy to do so.

I should probably have made it clear that I meant 'the good kind' from the brand's point of view. Sorry.
Could you provide a few example questions you would do? Just curious what medium difficulty questions look like to you.
I agree. Why not write it "iPhone 10S", at least? iPhone X is supposed to be pronounced "iPhone 10", though we will apparently never have an iPhone 9.
I am not familiar with the soil under LA but in many cases it gets much more expensive to "stack" tunnels. The construction of the upper tunnel relies on the stability of the soils underneath for support. Constructing a tunnel underneath may require the lower tunnel to be much stronger to support the loads. Why not just build the tunnel larger in the first place?

If Musk wants to construct these tunnels, that if fine but I feel that the City of LA would be foolish to allow him to do it without ensure that the tunnels can be used for larger vehicles if the "skate" concept proves to be inadequate. This would come at little extra expense and would still allow Musk to test his concept but have a contingency plan if it does not work.
Paid parental leave is simply a disability insurance policy. You can use your wages to buy one. So it comes down to two things:

1) Can you keep your job after you go on leave? Yes, for 12 weeks, protected by FMLA (at least in theory)

2) Factoring in the cost of that insurance policy, are you satisfied with your income level?
In Norway the government will pay you 100% for 49 weeks or 80% for 59 weeks with a cutoff at $66k. (Slightly above national average).
Most/all tech employers will cover the remaining part of your salary.

My point is that affirmative action will stay relevant as long as there's no perfect equality. Which is not possible.

Even in today's situation affirmative action is wrong. We should accept people by merit, period.
Yep, it's not a very well known fact to the public, but most of the influencers with 5-10M+ followers you see are easily 90% fake accounts, especially if these people have no real fan-base to draw upon outside of IG. If you're Drake or Justin Bieber, you have real clout, people follow you around platforms because you actually are a legitimate celebrity. If you don't exist outside of IG, let's say you're just a hot model that appeared out of nowhere, then I would be very suspicious as a brand, about to pay him/her for posts.

In fact, that's what brands have discovered. They'll pay a 10M followers influencer for a sponsored post, maybe give them a coupon, and see barely any sales, the ROI is not there. They go: "Huh, that's odd, this person is SUPER popular", but it turns out it's all fake numbers, thus the influencers start getting paid progressively less and less.

Those people selling hair gummies and laxative tea are not living lavishly through that, no matter how hard they try to create that impression.

As I recall, for some consumer facing applications, the concern isn't about targeted attacks, but more about automated attacks that try to re-use passwords. In a scenario like that SMS is to slow down automated attacks.

Keep in mind that I don't endorse that approach! Just giving an example of a narrow case where that applies.

That said, I appreciate your feedback and will personally take your feedback to our product group.

Hi, this was back in 2009 and we used Insulspan, would imagine they are still around but you should check.

The good thing was that we used their structural calculations on the wall and the three beams that held the roof panels to have an Engineer stamp the plans at a reduced price (he simply checked that their calculations were OK). The RASTRA blocks to do the perimeter foundation was a great solution as we did the floor with OSB I beams, very fast and cheap!

This is why people believe their currency has value - just ask the people in Venezuela. There is no reason for an income tax if governments can simply print currency, except that jobs and associated income taxes prop up belief in the currency. This is one reason the US government started to tax the American social security (pension) recipients rather than simply print more money, if you pay taxes on the income then the money has value.
I remember when they promised a modding api... Not even the C++ has resulted in one... The fact that Notch went with Java might have been a blessing in disguise because it made the reverse engineering process semi automated.
> I guess my point is what adtech firm is going to be interested in a person who pays for electricity? Everyone does that. I pay for water too, but that's not going to help anyone sell me stuff.

If your electricity bill is big, they could bucket you into a group that's potentially interested in "energy efficient appliances."
Reason is an unserious publication with an ironic name. The author of this particular article has a financial interest in pushing untested medicine on the suffering. Cancer is a catch-all for a number of different diseases (having a few similarities) that require different treatments. The author chooses to ignore the average age of the population, the size of the population, the diet of the population, and obesity within the population when pulling out statistics. The regulatory framework surrounding medical treatment and drug testing exists BECAUSE people were being harmed by untested medicine.

Thalidomide is just one example.
California generally has a good track record of hitting longer-term environmental goals. 2045 is a long way out, but it is a length that will allow for unclean plants to see through to their end-of-life, rather than kneecapping current plants/projects. I suspect the intent was to signal to energy producers that CA won't make their current investments worthless (otherwise it would drive away developers who have put investments in to our grid).

In other words, this was a "keep investing, but new plants need to be clean" move.
Why would Intel be complicit in it?

Suppose they did this. Now, that the vulnerabilities are public, Intel takes the fall. Oopsie, huh?
Check the official documentation -- the wording doesn't say residents or citizens. It says "Individuals in the EU".

I guess we interpret this differently:

More critically, it's to protect that speech from the government. Because you don't really need protection from anyone else, as no one else has a monopoly on violence.
I mean, if you want to talk about safety records of power production, I'd like to point out that fossil fuels kill about 3 million a year, and biofuel (wood, dung) kills about 4.3 million a year. Those estimates are from 2012.

Nuclear is nowhere close to that over the past half century of use, even if you toss in fatalities caused by nuclear weapons, which is a whole different category.

Realistically, installation of solar and wind is actually more dangerous than Nuclear, because of falls.
Conservatives: Stop Crying Wolf on Tech Bias or No One Will Take You Seriously
Indeed. Don't give me an amazing goal plus a far-off horizon. If you want me to take you seriously, give me a concrete smaller goal and a very soon time-frame.

Instead say, "we will drop it by 10% in 3 years." Now you're telling me some useful truth to which I can hold you accountable (ooh, politicians HATE that). Incidentally, 10% in 3 years would be a perfect milestone to 100% in 30 years, so if these politicians WERE being honest (they're not), then they should have no reason to refuse the 10% in 3 years idea.
Just...go places.
> My concerns are because people are failure-averse, we hate negativity. A YouTuber/Instragammer can simply not read the comments, or selectively filter the comments. Are they getting the same "grit" experience as the more traditional work environments I mentioned above?

1) Should we aspire to that grit/negativity continuing as part of everyone's working lives? I'm not so sure...

2) Sure - and as a SaaS owner I can ignore customer complaints/support requests. But I'll end up out of business pretty quickly. Same goes for influencers and their audience. The difference is (perhaps) that a bit of negative press isn't necessarily bad for business in the influencer world...
