> Why the unrelated note?

I’m calling it “unrelated” because I’m giving you the benefit of doubt — in other words, I don’t assume you’re an idiot. But, on the other hand, this is a fairly common confusion that was repeatedly made by the press and otherwise informed people over the course of the summer. So it’s not that unrelated. (And just to clarify, those people still aren’t idiots. But they’re wrong.)
A full stack is one push from overflow, I feel that sums it up pretty well :)

Silly walks is a masterpiece, and people think they're joking...
I've travelled on night trains in Europe a bunch of times in a 6 bed compartment, and the solution is pretty simple. When you book a ticket, you can choose your preferred bed (top / middle / bottom), and there's a checkbox you can tick if you absolutely need the bottom bed. Somehow it all works out.

It's really neat, because if you're travelling in a group and don't want to go to bed right away you can fold the top beds up and use the bottom beds as comfy benches.

The problem with putting the same thing on an airplane is that it needs a lot of space. Seats offer way more density than bunk beds.
I've used this a bunch! I found it invaluable to helping me think through the timing of FPGA components. The best part is you can embed it in your own web page: https://lkesteloot.github.io/alice/alice4/fpga-rasterizer.ht...
It’s actually really easy force research to move faster, but to do so people basically must throw caution to the wind, and gamble with the possibility of extremely unpleasant outcomes, on top of also not surviving.

Being less safe is as simple as operating outside the conventional protections that regulatory bodies use, in order to safeguard ethics.

If that’s not your priority, and you want to press your luck, feel free to take your chances, so long as you acknowlege your adoption of the risks that ride along with that decision.

Break the law, in favor of searching places others dare not go. It’s uncharted territory, out where there’s no lifeguard. Maybe it seems timid to shy away from risk in a dire situation, but honestly, push hard enough, and I’m sure enterprising people will ignore their own safety in pursuit of impatience.
When Krypton asks you to authorize an access, you can tell it to authorize that single access, authorize the host for three hours, or authorize everything for three hours.

I typically authorize the host for three hours, meaning for the next three hours I don't have to Touch ID in again.
And yet human beings still existed before developing written language, so the pertinent statement is still baseless:

For short haul what matters is balancing how much energy is spent getting up high vs. how much benefit you are getting from being there. With an electrical engine you'll go as high as needed to maximize your range. The energy cost is not really a consideration here, it's all about the range.

With a jet you will instead be optimizing fuel flow since that fundamentally drives your cost. That means taking the minimum amount of fuel you can get away with and the maximum number of passengers to ensure you actually recover the cost of the fuel you are burning.
That looks like an interesting app! Good luck moderating this though, as users can just shove each others and spam text to hide other people's.
Kinda interesting. Could you see this desire being rooted in the advertising of the truck you've been shown for years upon years? Ads for these types of vehicles show dirty, hard-working men doing hyper-masculine things[0]

Lack of compelling statistical evidence that explicitly shows otherwise when taking into account different environmental and societal backgrounds.

Sure that is a nearly impossible to accomplish considering how convoluted this equation is so we have to step back and it becomes a question of belief, and in this world of belief I can really only condense it into two categories.

1. If it exists, it doesn't matter
2. It exists and does matter ("does matter" in my mind precludes equality, one must be superior)

To me it is really a question of whether I personally choose be racist or not, racism being defined as "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior".

I'm going to cut this short at that I do not believe someone can both believe a specific race is superior and act without prejudice. Again a lot of assumptions, but if wanted to keep going down the ladder of explanations I'd write an essay or a book.
there would still be new land occupied for penstocks, pumps and power lines.

there is still the economic problem, nobody wants a line item on their bill that says "energy storage" or "premium for using as much energy as you want whenever you want".

pumped storage doesn't generate any power it just allows you to use 80% of it later. Who is going to put the money out to build something that nobody wants to pay for that we currently get for free from traditional hydro and fossil fuel plants. Those types of regulatory changes don't get sold to the public quickly.
There is a great flattening in what it once took to publish a thought or an idea and have it reach an audience. Unfortunately almost everybody is deluded, insane, stupid, at the very least totally uninsightful - or some sort of weird combination of all these things.

The web is a great place to be uninformed or even deceitful, I strive to be cognizant of this.
Not really an accurate comparison. A better one would be if people left their bikes randomly all over the street & sidewalks at scale.
For me the biggest letdown of RC is dirtying an otherwise constant pristine page of memory with unneeded updates. Every little usage of that variable changes the variable because it has to update the RC. You are also forced to use two-word values instead of just one (many having even more), with cache trashing and complicated atomics.
That's why usually a GC esp. a compacting one is so much faster than refcounting.

I still don't understand why half the threads on HN talk about how there's not as much work anymore due to automation, and the other half talk about how people are overworked and working longer hours. We can't have UBI because that would encourage people to be lazy, but all jobs are bullshit anyway. When are we going to rise up and seize the means of production?
You still need a crane to move the blocks from the bottom to the top and back. It might be a different type of crane, but I don't know that it would be any cheaper to maintain.
Exactly. Which is nothing but the pilot's report un-editorialized. You've been attacking some strawman editorial all throughout this thread that nobody linked or referenced here.
If that was the case they'd just put in height maximums for economy tickets.

I was really excited for 787s at Air Canada, and soon discovered over multiple trips that the seat back is too thin and light.

If the person behind me puts the provided a water bottle in the seat pocket in front of them, as they do almost every flight, it pokes, pushes, and rubs my back enough that I wake up.
i think your story is a great example of why open review aggregation sites are a broken model.

these reviews are not comprehensive. a lot of people only go there to post about a shitty experience or out-of-this-world experience. it's also broken in situations where reviewers are not familiar with the culture or standards of the place they're visiting, i.e. critiquing the service/cleanliness/decor of an authentic hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurant.
Schumpeter used this term in 1942 to describe startups destroying incumbents.

"In Schumpeter's vision of capitalism, innovative entry by entrepreneurs was the disruptive force that sustained economic growth, even as it destroyed the value of established companies and laborers that enjoyed some degree of monopoly power."

Not sure if you are a specialist who is nitpicking or simply not well informed, but lego technic is pretty much well-defined (mostly as "every part present in a set branded as `LEGO Technic`"). See [1] for part lists. The afol community has nerdy tendencies (no judgement, i like it) and everything is pretty much well-defined, even more for crucial questions such as "what parts are valid to use" or "how can we combine them". For the second question see [2] for a presentation on illegal builds.

As a non-crypto guy, I find it bit curious that "Hybrid encryption" primitive does not offer authentication. With the talk of being misuse resistant, that seems like bit of a sharp edge still.
That sounds absolutely terrifying. Iirc, the first rule of building rockets is, always assume it will explode - not even starting on all the stress it would put on the frame.
Booking.com, Yelp and Tripadvisor are pretty much the same thing to me, and the same low quality. I use them all, but I was curios how would someone do without them.
I think you're completely missing the artificial signaling that is at stake here. The scarcity is _by design_.

It’s not included anywhere, but PowerShell is open source and you can install it on *nix now! Obviously the things that integrate with Windows aren’t there, but the object-oriented pipelining sure is.

Yes. Unless op is spreading their flying all over the place, they should be at top-tier status on just about any airline/alliance they fly.

Practically, that should mean first or business class upgrades on nearly all their domestic travel, and a fair amount of their international travel.
>Why a website needs to know what fonts I have installed?

So it can render the website in an appropriate font, while avoiding unnecessary network downloads.

>Why a website needs to know my plugins?

Plugins used to be used for rendering applets. It made sense to see if you had Flash/Java installed before trying to insert one.

Thankfully, plugins are now going away.

In my experience, I've never seen anything useful delivered in 1-week sprints. That pace generates a lot of activity and a lot of stuff that looks like work, but it's mostly just people planning stuff that can't be done in a week and having meetings about why it can't happen this week and most items being tossed out as blocked.

2-week sprints aren't a whole lot better. I could see maintenance and bug-fixing teams being workable at that pace, but new development projects I've seen have always been a total waste of time on that schedule. Yes, it does keep the business side of the company happy because they see a lot of activity and feel like real work must be happening. But the actual situation is that nothing is really happening--just very loudly and energetically.
When in the near future are we going to need drone swarms for anything?
>I really don't understand why that group of people don't want to leverage their power to change the world.

Have you tried talking to such anti-union programmers/engineers?

I've seen both good and bad unions, so I'm fairly neutral on the topic, but some things to ponder over:

In a previous job, I would occasionally stay a little late to work on performance improvements (automating the workflow, improving tools, etc). I usually did it without management's permission - just on my own. They'd hear about it once I was ready to tell them.

Some of my coworkers were against this, for a variety of reasons, including the fear that my work would raise the bar. I strongly suspect that if they were unionized, they'd find a way to make sure I don't do this type of work.

Many SW folks do worry that unionizing will bring their productivity down to the median, and will make it harder for job growth. They don't want to be held back by a union.

(I wasn't even doing this to get ahead of them (I was paid about the median, and some who opposed were a full grade level above me). I just got sick of crappy in-house tools.)

Beyond that, there are the "usual" reasons: Unions can become quite political, and they can use as many dirty tactics/propaganda/misinformation with their own people as the company they work for can/does. Their conformity tactics can get nasty as well. My wife has a union job and the union is considering a strike. Plenty of attempts to silence/shame anti-strike voices from within the union. The paranoia within the union is quite high. Who amongst us is a spy for the employer? Stuff like that.

Unions can really increase the drama at a work place.

Again, I'm listing the negative examples. Not all unions are like this. I suspect, though, that unless the union actively guards against these, this will be the normal evolution of a union.
Nice Easter egg (I assume) for "chess" ;)
I do read niche travel blogs and websites, but they very rarely cover lodging, unless it's some exotic destination with special lodging requirements.
I look at TripAdvisor, Yelp, and other regional restaurant review sites. Tablelog is the only one with overall ratings that seem to reflect reality, but that's Japan only. Even though the big two are more noise than signal as far as reviews go, at least I can see pictures. Often I use these sites while sitting in the place to decide what to order. I'm starting to use Google Maps more because TripAdvisor and Yelp sites suck so bad and I refuse to install their low quality, spammy apps. What I wish existed:

- NO reviews. I want facts not opinions.

- Food photos only. No useless photos of people, random interiors, drinks, etc. Delete those and ban the idiots who upload them.

- Ruthlessly curate the photos. I want a couple of photos of each dish, only the best quality ones that are recent.

- Caption the photos and tag the food. I want the exact string on the menu neatly displayed on each photo. I want to be able to search "pizza" and get a stream of photos of the food.

- A clean set of photos of the menu so I can see the prices. OCR that into searchable text.

- Let me privately rate the food.

I guess what I'm describing is kind of Tinder for food. And no ads of course. Not gonna happen.. but hey I can dream.

Eric Raymond's The Cathedral and The Bazaar is probably the most famous piece of open source evangelism out there. You can buy it on amazon or read it on his website: http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-...

Apparently there's some debate over whether or not his ideas are really that great, though. I actually found this site just a few minutes ago from I-dont-remember-where-now by stumbling onto DonHopkins' criticisms: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7608563

You're the one advocating solving the privacy issue with "radical transparency for everyone." It's cowardly for you to expect others to take the risk and lead the way, especially people who don't agree with you.

You go first. We'll all then follow your lead. At least put your real name, phone number, and email address in your HN profile. But if you can't put up, shut up.

That doesn't seem to match the movies of ISS shown, where there seems to be no (or very small) gravity. In 80% of normal earth gravity water wouldnt stay up in the air for example, and cosmonauts wouldn't be floating around in the station as we see in the videos...
I've found fasd (https://github.com/clvv/fasd) to be the most featureful of the directory jumping tools, and it's much faster than autojump as well.

I'd be remiss not to mention pazi however, which is the tool I wrote to replace fasd in my own workflow: https://github.com/euank/pazi

It's similar to autojump, but much faster: https://github.com/euank/pazi/blob/master/docs/Benchmarks.md...

I agree with the sentiment but this is probably a more realistic goal. Germany, which is far more organized than the US in many respects, is failing to hit its climate goals for 2020.

It's just harder than people think. Same with public projects going over budget. The budget was never realistic in the first place.
I understand that employees are exploited. I don't think employee benefits helps the problem.
The issue is that many exchanges have dropped out of direct cryptocurrency/fiat trade -- if you have a FooBarCoin and you want to turn it into USD, for instance, you will most likely have to convert it to Tether before exchanging that for USD. A lot of trade between cryptocurrencies passes through Tether as well.

If something catastrophic were to happen to Tether, it would have a significant adverse effect on all cryptocurrency trade.
If you only study things your employer will pay you to study, you'll be an expert in things you need for your current job - you want to be an expert in things you need for your next job too.

If my current job is programming engine control units, they'll pay me to train in things relevant to that, like MISRA standards - but if I think my next job will involve blockchains, the ECU manufacturer ain't going to pay me to study those.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. To me, all these sites are the same quality as Tripadvisor. I use them all, but I assumed someone who would avoid Tripadvisor would also avoid these sites.

> If I'm staying near a business client or family I ask them.

That's weird. If they already have a real place to stay in some place, why would they know anything about hotels?

> Tripadvisor only ever came into the picture if I was visiting a resort area where I didn't know anyone.

That's pretty much all the travel my family and I do these days.
Bulk procurement, certification, software all affect cost, of course.

When a flaw was discovered in 4096-bit RSA ley generation, Yubico sent me replacements for all of my registered hardware tokens, no additional cost to me.

Good thing about a standard like U2F is reducing software and certification costs, and sure if you are clear to offer no post-sales support, then you should be able to get legitimate hardware for maybe $10.
Along with that I'd imagine that they're really invested in it with Azure and such too. If all their customers were vulnerable to this they could end up in a bad position. They could obviously work on their own patches but they'd have to get them upstream into distros without telling them what's going on because of the nda/silence desired by Intel. That would leave them in a terrible position.
