My point is not about pay. It's that I can only do so much, and the only way I can acheive more is by having a pyramid of engineers underneath me doing the coding.
Top Risks Facing the Hospitality Industry
Indeed and I think a further manifestation of this "privilege" is the constant honking of the horn by drivers at the slightest reduction in their speed or movement.

Not only do they want to drive wherever they want but they seem to feel entitled to take out their frustration on anyone they want. The noise pollution that invariably accompanies traffic seems to really only penalize pedestrians, the very people who aren't contributing to the traffic problems.
If I'm reading you correctly, your actual point of contention is “nonidentical icon/text without a much larger color/layout difference looks sufficiently similar in overall appearance as to be essentially identical for the purpose of conditioning users who aren't intentionally looking”. Except you've decided to incorporate this assumption into the definition of “same visual presentation” and frame it as implicitly true in such a way that anyone who might not agree with it is assumed to have misunderstood you. Charitably assuming that this wasn't deliberate, there's a lot more inferential distance here than you think.

I actually suspect you're mostly right (the EV color is green, not gray, in the Chromium I'm using, but I can imagine this not being easily visible under many conditions), but the way you've decided to talk about this has made me very hesitant to openly agree with you. But for those whose answers are meant as “it says ‘Not Secure’, therefore it's adequately different”, I might be skeptical on the grounds of “having the user know that requires clearing a higher attention bar first”, aka “users don't read”.
There is a nice place by the train station where you park and can walk into the little shops. The general speed limit is much lower than in LA and noise is much reduced. "Banned" is the wrong word. There are no roads in that area after you walk past the station but there is a parking structure by the theatre. I think in general, places like The Grove and and Irvine Outdoor Mall are like that in that you can walk freely but they still feel busy and overly commercialized because they are malls. I particularly liked the calmer area of San Juan downtown.
It's a town with a population of 90k. It wouldn't suck either way.

"I must strongly disagree there."

The article makes it clear what they did, and what conclusions they drew:

"Using a previously established, peer-reviewed technique, the team conducted more than half a million data traffic tests across 161 countries. From this data, the team found that internet service providers are “giving a fixed amount of bandwidth—typically something in the range of one and a half megabits per second to four megabits per second—to video traffic, but they don’t impose these limits on other network traffic.”

Moreover, the data shown directly below that paragraph reveals little pattern in the provider/app throttling rates. The data shows mostly that video is being throttled across the board.

Could there be other explanations for this? Absolutely. Peering is just one of many plausible explanations.
They do say "not entirely", implying that it can be used for some manipulation. Specifically, manipulation in the form of "cognitive bias in people's behaviors".

I imagine I couldn't manipulate someone into buying a product they have zero interest in by changing their breathing, but I could subtly influence/bias how they feel when first observing a product.

Is it manipulation? No, not entirely.

That being said, I would still be cautious about any sort of abuse.

How did you manage that?
How exactly is it unsustainable? Are we running out of something? Are we running out of electricity?

The idea that cars are unsustainable is ridiculous. Just because they may not fit into sonmeone’s desire for increased government control of mobility doesn’t make them unsustainable.

Every generation seems to think their generation will be the last, unless we “do” something. They were likely debating horse carts in England a thousand years ago with equal fervor.

I would speak with a lawyer, given what you have described you may have a case for various beaches -- an oral agreement is a form of contract, power of attorney has certain obligations that are required to be held (the agent has a fiduciary responsibility to act for the benefit of and in the best interest of the principal), and there could perhaps even provable fraud.

To use a free pass for the GENIVI TECHNICAL SUMMIT, use code GVIP.
Automotive software experts will present the GENIVI vehicle domain interaction strategy launched last October and the progress made on strategic projects including graphics sharing & distributed HMI, communication protocols and the use of hypervisors in context where safety, IVI and connected mobile device domains must interact.

Recent deliverables from three active domain interaction projects will be presented and event participants can engage in hands-on activities with APIs and code. Awareness and skills gained at this event will equip participants to understand the emerging, cross-domain architecture, the challenges posed and the solutions available to bridge functions across automotive software domains.
Is priming really bullshit? I watch batters go through all sorts of little rituals to get their heads in the game.

If you wash 5 times a day before prayers, yeah, washing your hands is going to put you in a mindset.

Or maybe I just don't understand what priming is.
To give an analogy, I feel a bit like a global warming scientist (I don't actually know anything about global warming-I just understand it's a scientific consensus with a really vocal but marginal minority).

It's not just me, it's me and 99% of cardiovascular scientists vs. a few people scattered around the world.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and this paper glosses over literally hundreds of contradictory studies, cherry picks a few that sort of support it, and wraps it all with some rhetorical flourishes. It's not science.

I usually take at least two Or three hours to review a paper. I'm not sure if I want to waste my time writing out line by line all of the mistakes. something like this will require even more time since I would feel the duty to to dig up dozens and dozens and dozens of papers which would contradict them.

If that would change your mind, I'll think about doing it.

Finally, I said it's "annoying" because I work really hard on all my reviews and papers to make sure what I am publishing is right. The goofballs slap some crap together with only a passing understanding of the evidence and get another line on their CV. Feel free to ignore this ad hominem but hopefully it helps to understand my perspective.

We're taking a sort of hybrid approach to this on https://threadbase.io, where you can get a subdomain for your community (or custom domain in the future) and put your own ads in (so moderators can make money). Eventually we'll create a shared homepage for site creators who opt in, and allow you to filter communities you want to see there.
Historically it was the most expensive approach thanks to the high cost of electricity and higher initial capital. Here is a pretty easy to skim paper on the cost breakdown from 1980: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1021/bk-1980-0116.ch001

The approach is quite competitive technologically and the efficiency is there but the problem is electric cost. Thankfully renewables are bringing that cost down so some areas with very cheap electric could support such manufacturing.

Push architectures are no panacea, they create problems all of their own. For example in an unregulated landscape like the Internet, it becomes difficult to impossible to control the flow of updates to any individual peer. Options are unsubscribing or dropping updates, resulting in data loss.

The equivalent scenario in polling land produces a better result: an oversubscribed producer that begins dropping requests will typically just cause a transient delay, as clients retry at a later time.

RSS feeds commonly don't include their full history - certainly this is true of the biggest providers like Blogspot.

Finally a good client will know to adjust its polling delay according to the traffic of a particular feed. This is a <5 line function, and something Google Reader was implementing a decade ago.

Pull-based systems of course suffer from latency, but they require vastly less centralized state and coordination than a push based system, and suffer from much less painful failure modes

Most exciting of all (in my opinion), is that pull-based designs can exist on top of all the infrastructure that already existed, rather than requiring dedicated active network components all of their own -- that's a whole lot of crap code we can avoid rewriting over and over again for the next decade.
It took scientific research to find that trans fats or smoking was bad. Does that mean that they aren't actually that bad, or even beneficial?
It seems to go for the "least interesting" result. eg: I gave it 363 and it gave me back 363 + 0 + 0, which while technically true, 121 + 121 + 121 would have been more in the spirit of it, IMO. Or even 242 + 121 + 0 would be a little easier than just reusing the original palindrome number with zeros.

I grew in a mountain pass area where there (used to, times change...) be heavy snow 2 to 4 months per year, and learned to drive there. Now I live in a city where snow happens regularly but much less and typically goes away in a couple of days, and when there's snow there's much less people on the roads, and for those who are, only a fraction know how to handle it, or even have proper winter tyres even though temperatures dive below the freezing point every year. People routinely flat out skip work on such days because "snow", which coming from where I grew up, is unfathomable unless you got a meter of snow overnight. On the occasional trip to Paris I've witnessed a couple events where emergency services are scrambling to bring water, food, and clothes to people gridlocked for hours (it was winter and many couldn't be arsed to take even a jacket, oblivious to their environment, living in their air-conditioned bubbles from house to covered parking lot to car to workplace); the entirety of the city streets was in deadlock because of a couple of millimetres of snow (obviously {rail,sub}way was unaffected). Pure madness.
The purpose of the EV cert (and the OV cert, really) was to tie web trust back to that same regulatory infrastructure.

Except the only way to get what you want using EV is to force literally every site on the internet to go through the EV cert process. Otherwise, somebody's going to go get a "less verified" cert, set up an impostor site and phish people.

Is that really the world you want? Is that the price you're willing to pay to get it?
The profit margins need to be high enough to justify investing in the product before you know whether anyone will ever want to buy it.

The margins of successful products also need to fund all the failed attempts at making stuff that ultimately no one wants.

I think innovation without speculation is impossible and speculation has a cost.
I think there is a big difference though. Theme parks are super over crowded and you end up having sore feet and wait in long lines all day and still having to hold on to your kids of fear of losing them in the crowd. I guess its still better than fear of death.
I don't agree with it.
There's plenty of stuff on the Moon, plus there's much less gravity. You can mine rocket fuel, water, or Helium-3 and then send it into orbit pretty easily, for example.

You're simply not being accurate in saying that there's nothing there.
I really like grapesjs, using it as a newsletter builder. Good luck on grapedrop.
Since GrapesJS is already open source I would seriously consider pointing users to that for the free plan instead of providing free hosting. Your service provides hosting; free is a little too much as it costs you money for likely little gain.

Alternatively you could put a time limit. "Free 30 day trial" or something.
Do NYC subway stops all have functioning elevators yet?

If not, then it’s not a “good” system. It’s a good system for single adults carrying their Manhattan Portage bag. Not so good for kids in strollers, carrying groceries for a family, people in wheelchairs, elderly with difficulties on stairs. It’s not a “good” system at all.

It worked in the early days of Smalltalk, because a Smalltalk environment is basically a blob of tightly coupled classes that all call and delegate to one another, up and down the abstraction chain, and when you want to load the application you just snarf all those classes into memory, all at once.

These days, if you're a good little do-bee, you will properly use the SOLID principles and introduce interfaces everywhere there's an identifiable joint between classes. Instead of having a class call into another class, you change the reference of the class's object to an interface reference and call through that. So now you've introduced more code, more concepts, and more complexity to do something like send a fucking email which is conceptually simple on paper (and you have a library to handle actually sending the email).

Congratulations. Welcome to software-architecture NASA.

It's not clear to me why we can't or shouldn't do both. Keep NN in place until we have followed through with making the broadband market is competitive.

That's not what "white flight" refers to. While the 1940s-1950s move to the suburbs consisted almost entirely of white people due to systematic racial discrimination preventing POC from moving, that is not "white flight".

The phrase "white flight" refers to a 1970s phenomenon where white people repeatedly moved from one suburb to another (often in circular patterns) in order to avoid POC after desegregation and civil rights legislation made suburbs accessible to POC for the first time. This was exacerbated by real estate agents engaging in a race-baiting, unscrupulous practice called "block busting".

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.[0]

What else would you have done in their position? If you were the health authorities? Do nothing? At its heart, I think this issue is the same one as social science experiments being replicated with lower strength results: We naturally want to handle information as if the truth value is binary, as in mathematical logic and and IF ... THEN statements, true or false. Wouldn't that be wonderful and easy? When the information is imperfect, it seems like we feel justified in targeting our emotions at the offender, but they are doing the only thing they can - acting under uncertainty. Was telling people to eat onions a bad choice, given their choices, and in foresight?

As everyone knows from personal experience, if you are giving medical advice, doing scientific research, or making a decision for your startup, the information and possible conclusions are not like in the textbook - they are unclear and messy. You can't wait for the perfect stuff.

Most languages in use today have had to extend from their core to the web, or mobile through a framework.

On the other hand, web or mobile first frameworks/platforms, are often high level, and have been a little ornery when digging into the weeds.

Our paradigm has shifted from desktop-first, to web-first, to mobile-first a while ago, but our frameworks are still often anchored from a desktop-first world perspective.

If there's examples that do, or do not highlight this, would love to see and discuss :)
6 weeks paternity is not very much. 6 months is better but we get 480 days in Sweden. Our children don’t need metal detectors or security fences at school, it’s a given that you take time off if your kids are sick and that the state finances it. University education is affordable for everyone. If you are raising kids 3x the pay sounds awesome until you factor everything in, then to me it doesn’t sound enough.
When Kennedy gave his moon shot speech, he set out a deadline. At that time, space travel wasn't even a thing and had to be invented. He could have said in our lifetime. He could have said someday. He said in "this decade".

Setting an arbitrary deadline is not a negative. It gives people goals to achieve vs infinite discussion/research. Even if the date does get pushed, it's not the end of the world. NASA is famous for its schedules getting pushed. When's the JWT launching? When did the Hubble launch? How far behind was the LHC? Yes, people complain, but I would rather have them late and working than rushed and not. Look at what Hubble has given us. Well worth the wait.

Not sure why Elon Musk gets so much hyper focused attention like this. He's not the only person to have projects run late. Look at the Red camera system. Look at Black Magic Design. Apple, Microsoft and pretty much any software dev has had to push back release dates. Any HN reader should be sympathetic as I'm sure everyone has had to push back release dates, or at the least not release every feature as scheduled.

For now at least. As mentioned in other comments it's hard, and expensive, to redevelop entire cities. Politically it's also probably difficult because it's such a big change. Makes sense that those with money to afford making changes privately would have them first.

However, it's also likely they will want this nice life in more than just their area and will push for that over time.
Totally agree with you. This is the lesson I learned.

Summarizing, pram is short for perambulator, which Americans call strollers. In Nordic countries, it's believed to be healthy for infants to sleep in fresh cold air. To the horror of outsiders, babies and toddlers in prams are commonly left parked outside of establishments in freezing weather while the parent is shopping or dining inside.
> Sure, though the article literally says that Jobs "called up Amazon", not Bezos.

Just metonymy --- when we use an inanimate thing to stand in place of a person (like "North Korea agreed to a cease-fire", which is metonymy because the abstract concept of a country doesn't "agree to" anything).

> what I was trying to say was that the private/direct phone number of Jeff Bezos is unlikely to have been on a public directory

Doesn't need to be public. These high-level people (CEOs, famous musicians, etc.) have easy ways to contact one another. They might have only met once and exchanged numbers "just in case", or maybe the story was a shorthand way of saying "Steve had his secretary call Bezos's secretary right then" (which is entirely possible to do spur-of-the-moment if Apple had ever had contact with Amazon at all). I think the spirit of the story --- that the call took a very short time, maybe a couple minutes --- is totally reasonable.

Tim Cook told a story once that he was unsure what to do at some point with regard to shareholders or something, so he called up Warren Buffett. Apparently they had exchanged numbers once in the past when they had been at some event together or something like that. It was a spur-of-the-moment call without any phone tag, at least as Cook tells the story.

I have not read that book. I am, however, a data analyst with very strong opinions about dark patterns. My perception is that you're seeing an attempt to misdirect where there is only, at worst, lax handling of data, and writing off a worth-discussing core concept as a result. (there IS one aspect of the chart I'd complain about but it's not the 50-70 bounds) Here's why.

1. If I wanted to lie with statistics, a single 50-70 chart doesn't really "do the trick." You want to have a 50-70 chart alongside a 40-50 chart, ideally without clearly labeled Y axes, or something like that. Really distorting the trend comparison is where the money is at.

2. The aspect I would have called out is the fact that they're citing a trend inversion with less than a year's of data. this could be a season effect, natural volatility, any number of other things, and this single trendline is not a hugely confidence-building piece of evidence on its own.

That being said, the facts of the article stood up to my understanding, and is something I've long taken issue with in our recovery from 08 (Highly uneven distribution of gains and recovery); so I'd hope that discussion at least not be lost in the noise.
You're right that rent seeking and corruption is a big part of the resource curse but another aspect of it is that having a large amount of natural resources makes your other exports less competitive (because all the skilled people go work in the mining/oil/whatever industry) and so it's hard to develop the educational and other institutions that a successful society has. That's why developed countries (e.g. Norway, Canada, USA) don't suffer from the resource curse. They have other options than exports for economic growth (in addition to better functioning governments).

There is an argument against aid to developing countries for similar reasons.
