Web apps are programs running on other peoples machines that you have no control over. If you enjoy the use of software and you don't even have the power to choose to downgrade when you don't like an upgrade, you're in a very poor position indeed. You're here on hacker news, you shouldn't be scared. This is just another reminder that Richard Stallman was right and an opportunity to form a community to create a replacement that respects user freedoms.
Based on recent political events, I would argue that it is getting more difficult in the US to be "tolerant of the intolerant". Should university students be allowed to take their grievances with speakers coming to their school not only to the streets but to the university administration when someone has viewpoints that are intolerant of LGBT, for example? I would say yes, it's an intolerable position.

At the same time, it is important to note that Devin Nunes, the congressman who runs the House Intelligence Committee, and a Republican, is from California. Thus, it can't be completely true that California is a monoculture.
> But it adds the C++ standard library as a dependency, which might or might not fly for GNOME.

You can also statically link C++'s standard library, just as you do now with Rust's.
I would take this with an even bigger grain of salt since Worm Capital who did the visit has Tesla as their biggest stock holding. And surely your judgement must be clouded if you think Tesla has the best in class self driving technology.

>Nor is California like say Germany or France, where substantially lower GDP per capita (relative to the U.S.) is balanced by a robust safety net and ample public services. California has among the worst public schools in the country: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2018/02/08/geog.... Its public universities are quite expensive. It doesn't have a leg up in healthcare like say Massachusetts.

It's true the public schools are lackluster, but I'm not sure the same is true of public universities and healthcare. California universities have a great reputation and student debt is relatively low [0][1]. Uninsured rates aren't Massachusetts-low, but their health outcomes are comparable or better [2]. California has made headlines for being one of the few states to lower mortality. [3]

> They also managed to all but ruin their computing product line, to the point where people prefer to use ancient machines over recent ones.

The unhappy folks are pretty vocal, but I'm pretty sure Apple have good user data about how the machines are doing: as you say they have a lot of money to spend on the marketing. And historically they have been pretty unromantic about abandoning things that don't do well (iPhone 5c is discussed in this article).

FWIW I am typing this on a 2018 MBP and it's pretty good -- well worth the purchase to me (I can understand if other peoples' mileage may vary). The touch bar is plainly not aimed at me (it would require looking at the keyboard to use, and as I'm a software developer I have never used a function key in my life) but I simply ignore it. And I don't post about it in prominent sites. I don't use the thunderbolt ports either but I also don't wrote about that.
This video is not. Linking to breitbart supports them financially. We should not do that.

I noticed that people have posted links to the video that Breitbart won't financially gain from.
Thus reinforcing Tesla's dominance. Until other manufacturers can match Tesla's price/range combination, Tesla will continue to dominate the market.

I'm no fan of big companies, but I feel we need both big and small companies. Mom and Pop shops can never tackle huge infrastructure projects or projects that require intense capital (space etc).

That said, celebrating billionaires (many of whom trampled on others to get there) leaves a bad taste.

I wish we had more cooperatives...

I disagree. Getting some pieces of paper, pens and people to count them does not require 60 days. We don't need fancy technology to hold elections. People have been able to hold elections successfully for thousands of years.
Medical marijuana is a part of Tony Evers official agenda[0], so we definitely have the Democratic party leader advocating for it. I think it would be difficult without some Democratic control of the statehouses, but I think there's a strong fiscal argument to be made as well, so I wouldn't rule it out.

When I had a corporate job, one thing became incredibly clear to me: I had no idea how my performance compared to other people with the same job I had, but people above me absolutely knew.

Take the job. Make sure you get clear performance metrics. Measure yourself objectively against those metrics. Ignore everything else because the reality is that getting perspective on yourself as compared to other people is one of the hardest tasks in the world and most of us outright suck at it.
I agree I probably didn't use the right language. You'll need more than 100 miles to both get out of harm's way, and also to ensure you're able to make it somewhere with accommodations available considering everyone else evacuating.

It is interesting they had "GOOGLE" printed on the reserved seat. Where in reality Sundar Pichai is the ceo of Google and Larry Page is the ceo of Alphabet. So the Senate committee was actually expecting Mr. Pichai and Bloomberg got it wrong.
On the flip side about electrek though, they seem to have the articles first about any Tesla info.

Journalists are also notorious for overstating and misinterpreting court rulings, to the extent that when actual monumental decisions are made it's often difficult to tell as journalists treat them the same as the extremely narrow and largely circumstantial rulings.

It's almost always worth it to find the published opinion and to read that. The language is not that bad.
They never got caught doing it. That doesn't mean they never have.
I'm 31 and I think I'm reaching that point, at least regarding smartphones. I bought the iPhone X and I think it'll be the last flagship phone I'll buy, unless a real great innovations appears in the horizon. Phones are getting expensive and kind of boring, they're increasing their price without offering any real innovation. I just don't see the value added to my daily life when I pay for the top phone in the market.
Modularity in C++ 17 – Bjarne Stroustrup
>both static and dynamic languages have existed for over six decades

For a long time however, if you wanted a mainstream (well supported, large ecosystem) language with static typing, you pretty much had to deal with languages like Java or C++, with their pretty limited type systems and other unrelated design choices that may not appeal to you. It was either that, or going full dynamic. Or some niche language with poor library support.

These days there are plenty of popular languages where you can get all the benefits of static typing with far fewer compromises (Kotlin, Swift, Rust, Scala, TypeScript, etc.) AND a more expressive type system. So the field has definitely changed.
> taller screen

The problem is that the taller screen is skinnier. And the width is most often the limiting size. For example, if you're watching a movie, a 16:9 image is limited by the width of the phone. So a skinnier screen means a smaller movie. Same for viewing photos. Basically most tasks result in a smaller viewing experience.

The taller screen really only buys you a better experience for reading long text (websites, ebooks, etc).
You can get less, too - in fact, you can tinker with it to get pretty much anything you want.
>Just FYI, electrek is consider very bullish on Tesla.

It's worse than that. The "analyst" is from Worm Capital. Every heard of them? Probably not. But their fund is 60% Tesla.

Why is it that "shorts" are criticized for talking their book and spreading FUD, but the "longs" are not criticized for all the stock pumping? Why are Worm Capital and the YouTube guy getting factory tours?

I disagree. I super enjoyed the UI of Windows Phone and only gave it up recently when MS formally dropped support.
Flow is already 100% compatible with PnP, through the use of the `module.resolver` configuration settings. We even saw some slight perf increases after switching in.

I guess the same could be done for other tools: the .pnp.js file can be easily interfaced with anything you throw at it without them having to care about the way the dependencies are resolved under the hood. Even non-js tools can simply communicate with it through the cli interface, which returns JSON data ready to use.
I don't see anything about sexual orientation, just sex which would be about being male/female (possibly transexual depending on the interpretation?).

[Edit] There is this, which seems to leave it to the nations:

Imagine you are a parent of two children, one 10 years old and the other 7. The two children are fighting with each other. What is the result of staying neutral in that argument? If you don't intervene the 10 year old is almost certainly going to win because they are likely stronger and more mature. By not intervening you are tacitly endorsing the 10 year old's power of the 7 year old.

The same thing applies in any fight/conflict/argument/debate when there is a power imbalance including in politics. This is most obvious in debates about civil rights. When it comes to those issues if you don't support an oppressed people you are endorsing the continue oppression of that people.

At this rate, I can see Mr. Page being the rich (evil?) guy from the movies that no one ever sees or has heard from in decades, and everyone is scared of. He will pull up in a limousine, slip you a piece of paper (with bad news on it) out of a crack in the window, and drive off again.
I don’t understand people on here complaining about the Senate demanding that the leaders of a business answer for its actions. Sending your lawyer or an underling is (1) a show of disrespect, (2) it shows you’re not taking responsibility for your company, and (3) when the person answering the questions isn’t really in charge, they can’t answer properly and they can’t commit their companies to behaving differently.

People just seem propagandistically pro-Google on here. You’re mostly pretty darn smart people. I don’t get it.
Amazing. Thank you for posting this.
At this point, though, such a public-relations strategy feels dated. On balance, the celebrity of even the most caricatured CEO (Zuckerberg) appears to be a net positive for his company.

I disagree totally with that point. The "superstar CEO" Zuckerberg is now ridiculed, hated, and negatively "meme-ed". He is now the face of censorship (for some) and a laissezfaire strategy threatening democracies (for others).

Even the previous paragraph stated: "Bill Gates had become a media caricature during Microsoft Corp.’s three-year antitrust lawsuit".

Page staying in the dark only generated this one article, not a real national scandal. 99% of people don't know him and won't know him after that no-show. Google's reputation is untouched.

Only loss is for the Senators not getting the spotlight.
Interestingly enough, vapers themselves seem to be the ones reinforcing this. Every vape shop I've ever seen is filled with thick clouds, run by teenagers or burnouts, and just generally a pretty low-class place.

On the other hand, I know several people who are successful professionals that vape. They order their stuff online, and don't advertise the fact that they vape.
"Is creating" has different connotations from having it already. That said not much that has been gleaned about their model is terribly impressive, and rolling their own hardware isn't going to make up for that.

We could go a long way to ending that by not subsidizing loans and making them dischargeable in bankruptcy. We could also better educate kids about cost/benefits of college and making sure they choose a degree that will be able to repay any loans they take out. Hopefully people are already catching on to that.

We did at one point in history have college that was affordable without having the government pay for it. It should be possible to do that again.

Consider that all data a company owns about you could be used against you. Now I'm not a criminal but I don't know what data Google (and other companies) collect about me and how that data could be interpreted to put me in a bad position. So I'd rather just avoid tracking as much as possible.

Thanks for the answer. Maybe, I'm being optimistic here, society learns how to better deal with diferent opinions in the future out of this.

Just for my understanding, it is more about the venue of where conservative commentators are allowed to speak and less about the fact that they speak in General? If it is that it seems to be kind of abusive of the First, trying to use to gain admission to every conceivable place for a Rally or talk.
> when economy isn't a factor, then academic prowess is a stronger predictor for who goes to college

I'd be interested in seeing data on that. Family income and "academic prowess" are often highly correlated, since higher income families tend to have better educated parents to begin with and are more able to pay for tutors and additional help.
How to hire a hacker
Though this is illegal, certain situations warrants hiring a professional hacker. Are you suspecting your spouse is cheating? Do you want to know everything your spouse does in his or her phone or social media accounts? Do you want to spy on a colleague or someone you have a crush on? Is someone blackmailing and you are looking for dirts on the person? Do you want to clear your criminal records?
Do you want to upgrade your test and exam scores? Do you need need to access something that requires the skills of an hacker? All these are situations where the expertise of an hacker is needed. When you finally decide to hire one, there is need to be careful so you don't loose your money to fake hackers. What I recommend is to go for only well recommended hackers. A lot of people must have patronised them and said nice things about them. If you need a professional hacker, there is a guy I know, feel free to contact hacktivistandre at gmail dot com. You will get good value for your money.

Ford is deprecating sedan manufacturing and only building trucks. Chrysler Fiat appears to be parting itself out. Volkswagen? I wouldn't buy a vehicle from them ever after their emissions scandal. Mercedes and BMW? Having owned both, I know what their out of warranty service costs are. GM has a shot based on their history of the Volt and the Bolt. Toyota? They were relying on Tesla for their EV drivetrains most recently, and still haven't given up the hydrogen boondoggle. This is before we even start discussing how legacy auto manufacturers are going to scale EV production up without their own battery cell/pack manufacturing (relying on OEMs instead).

I don't see any non-Chinese automaker besides Tesla and possibly GM taking EVs seriously.
Thanks for the answer. True, it is really difficult to draw the line between tolerance and tolreance of intolerance. Let's hope we all get better at that!
Imagine people trading in their horses for bicycles, for much easier care, less pollution, much smaller and flexible (it seems to me) alternatives.

You've just copy-and-pasted Columbia's ad text from the late 1800s. The problem was not that bicycles were too late, but that bicycles were out of reach for the common working man for quite a while. Multi-speed, shaft-drive bicycles with pneumatic tires were available in the 1890s. They were also priced like Teslas.

>if the U.S. wants to remain "the best"<

If.

The U.S. is fast becoming a retiree/senior citizen voting nation. Their top priority (understandably) is cutting taxes/costs to maximize their (poorly planned) retirements.

Being the best no long matters like it did when the boomers were young.

If the demographic shift you describe really does have the effect you describe, then most other countries are becoming even less interested in being the best than the US is becoming -- although I guess a person could argue that a country like China where the population cannot vote (on anything that matters much) will avoid the effect you describe.

Whonix vs. TOR middle box, which is more secure
Hi all

Was wonder the difference between running

a) Whonix workstation VM with wickr installed -> whonix gateway TOR VM

b) Ubuntu with wickr installed -> Rasberry PI TOR router

PI router made with this method for reference https://www.sbprojects.net/projects/raspberrypi/tor.php

Basically the goal is to use wickr as it is popular in many circles but in a way in which is trustless and wickr isn't able to see the real IP address.

I can't see the difference between these two as they both seem to serve the same purpose(isolation of applications from routing) but any help and guidance would be much appreciated
