Yeah, bad way to make my point. I know that there is very clear adversarial search for and an adversarial amplification and adversarial provocation of all Elon Musk's flaws. This amplification involves a game of telephone in which their is mounting outrage which turns 'shove it where it hurts' into 'dared to critique the proposed engineering solution'. I'm trying to introduce reality again in the hope of stopping the mob mentality death threats toward Unsworth and the harming of the mission of electrification of transport. People are intentionally trying to help feed this system, to see what happens [1]. I've seen enough of what happens to know this is a bad idea.

Pretty sure the right thing to do is let the conversation die. Due process will bring much more justice than social media amplification.

Drugs are much different from gasoline. Gasoline is available everywhere and legal.

The cartels moving to gasoline is like the mafia moving from liquor during prohibition to other trades like racketeering, extortion, etc.

It perhaps signals that drugs are not so lucrative anymore.

The symbolic language they've added was the last straw for me. Gmail is the last Google product I'm using and I'm now working on getting away from it. I really can't tell what each button does now without a label, and I've lost a few mails due to it.
Does anyone know a good web based OpenStreetMap renderer? And a service that hosts tiles for it? I just wanted to make something like Google Maps Navigation but web based. Google Maps doesn’t really let you rotate the maps by heading, and more. We did some hacks but I would like more control!

You missed the point entirely.

The vast majority of the supply is owned by a very small oligarch.

The chances of Bitcoin becoming obsolete or failing catastrphically due to a glitch or bug in the protocol software - like what just happened a few days ago (luckily by someone who desired to fix it, if the bug was found by a malicious actor they would have destroyed the entire Bitcoin ecosystem), the cryptocoin software can not be guaranteed as a safe store of value.

Anyone who "invested" in Bitcoin at the start of this year has lost upwards of 50%, so that would qualify as inflation in your terms. Other cryptocoins have seen losses exceeding 80%-90%.

The way cryptocoins work is by early users dumping their supply onto new users to exit and extract real value from the suckers who then become bag holders, the new users hope to do the same but are at a severe disadvantage to early users who own the vast majority of the supply.
Oh come on. The article suggests disabling features altogether because of their possibility of becoming insecure? Then how about these things:

Claiming that we will not be able to solve the routing
problem on the lightning network is exactly the same as
claiming that we won't be able to solve the routing
problem on the Internet. Routing is a solved problem,
but is a difficult problem to implement, which is why
the clients are in BETA.

You clearly don't understand the architectural differences between how the internet routes packets, and what how the Lightening Network claims to be a decentralized routing protocol. Nodes in a decentralized network have no visibility to peers unless there's a map, the map needs to be updated, and in a payment network the complexity increases as nodes and activity increases. LN will not function for p2p decentralization, it is a design choice that creates Bitcoin banks and Bitcoin payment processors.

For digital payments I could skip the scam and use Venmo or cash.

I don't get why anyone would bother wasting their money on LN? You have to first buy the Bitcoins which is highly volatile so the risk of losing your money is always possible.

What's the use case? Why bother going though all the trouble and why is there a need to buy someone elses tokens which they basically made for free?

It sounds like you need to convince people to use Bitcoin because you own some and need more people to buy it so you can sell for fiat and make real money. Why else would you try to dismiss the inherent issue with race conditions in decentralized routing networks? Handwaving the flaw by saying "it'll be fixed in the future" is either your ignorance or a lie and an attempt to deceive.

You can't even claim it's the fault of beta software, because it's not even theoretically possible to solve the decentralized routing problem. LN is just another form of paypal/banking.

If calling max() changed the sequence,

max does not change a sequence, it consumes the iterator.

I would expect it would have to be declared as mutable

max takes self (and not &self), so the ownership of the iterator is moved to the max method. The new owner can decide to bind the value mutably. This is always the case when a value is moved and changes ownership, e.g.:

If I'm in the flow, I just keep going. My only hard-and-fast rule is that I'll stop if it gets to about 4am, because I find it very difficult to get to sleep if there's sunlight outside. I haven't always been this disciplined and sometimes used to go right through until I dropped from exhaustion, but discovered that was unhealthy.

Having said that, I almost never get started before midday, and often it's only in the early afternoon or sometimes even the evenings after a lot of online procrastination. I have some days when I'm extremely productive, and others where I really just can't get into the zone to do much of anything at all. In the latter case I'll just write the day off and try to make something of it in terms of relaxing. I make no distinction between weekdays and weekends, so I'll just work whenever I'm in a productive mood.

I'm also a remote worker; my client is on the other side of the world, and I bill by the day. So I have a high degree of freedom over which hours I work, and to a certain extent, the amount of days I work each month.

Butts in seats and meeting a quota of 8 hours a day is entirely pointless, and serves neither you nor your employer. The only things that matter are, in order: 1) your health & work/life balance, 2) the value you bring to your employer.

MapBox? It’s been a few years since I’ve used it but I guess it’d fit your needs: https://www.mapbox.com/maps/
Slightly off topic, however, I always wonder if there is a team of spooks out there producing propaganda in the comments for people on hacker news.
It had maps. No, seriously, you open up maps to use the maps and you can't because the map barely takes up any screen estate.

On slower hardware it goes like thus: Start maps, wait for all the bloat, dismiss the pointless bloat you just waited for, do this two or three times for the GUI to catch up. Now you have slow maps! A truly horrendous experience!

On fast hardware the UI is still very bloated but sure it works, it just isn't pleasant to use.

They should fork it, one clean version and one tourist version. But I guess the changes have not been to make maps better, it has been to sell more ads. So now when those two incentives are the on collision course we will never see a good maps application from Google anymore.
Saudi Arabia invested 45% of the 100B. It’s rare for a state to make such risky investments.

Either they have a lot of available capital, and the 45B is nothing but a line item, or they’re trying to dig themselves out of a hole and they need to take on big, risky investments to do that.

I'm aware of a nodejs script that is basically packed up with the node runtime and run on Windows as a "native application," which interacts with the filesystem, windows registry, and more. The packer is years old and nobody knows how it works.

It is deployed on very expensive, very important equipment in pharma labs and hospitals.

I don't mind the UI so much, besides the speed. My issue is that sometimes it just doesn't work. I click on an email to open it and nothing happens, even if I wait a while. I end up having to reload the page. It's somewhat frustrating.

I've found this to be true of every piece of Google software. The only app by Google I still have on my phone is Gmail, and that's because I haven't updated it in a really long time. Everything else I've replaced with some alternative.

I'm not sure why you think such a company needs to exist. Almost all apps run fine on my Samsung Galaxy S5, except for anything made by Google or Samsung. With Samsung I think their software engineering is incompetent, but I think with Google there's probably a lot of pressure to "just make it work" that the engineers mostly test on the latest and greatest Android. Plus I'm sure there's an unspoken rule not to allow older phones to be too useful for too long.

I think this response often comes up in response to complaints about UI changes. Sometimes it’s a valid response, and people are just being resistant to change. Sometimes the changes are genuinely bad. The point is - the fact that people complain about everything doesn’t mean that some of the things they complain about aren’t legitimate problems!
I think closures are linked to that.

Game houses are still shifting to casual mobile games and some fail to do so succesfully.
Interview with Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son (1992)
Sadly this is unlikely to happen for anything above indie/niche games, unless the newcomer has some sort of groundbreaking advantage: first, these platforms also act as ad/exposure for game studios with limited advertisement budget by giving them access to a massive existing audience, which you're just not gonna get at this point from a new platform, and second (and more pernicious) they all have some sort of price matching clause, so if you want to take advantage of lower fees to cut the prices on the new platform and attract more people there, by contract the incumbents can adjust the price of your app unilaterally, cancelling out this move. There is also the fact that not all 30% are equal, so to speak : for example, Steam gets a lot less bad rap than the others due to the amount of tooling/services they provide. There is no easy fix to this situation.
So the most elite software organization in the world could have made it even shittier, but they didn't.

I don't understand. We (at least the folks who are unhappy with this update) are the users of the application. The complaints pertain to issues which affect both "normies" and "us" alike. If I observe an unresponsive/lagging behavior, it isn't because I may be more technically inclined, but because my brain detected an unexpected delay between my input and the outcome.
Amazing how I wrote this post without typing anything in it, I bill by estimate so if something is estimated 40 hours and I do it in 2, I can get more work or just chill, I usually book my time around 200 "hours" a week and some good weeks I work 18 real hours and the bad ones around 70, pays extremely well but has very little margin for error so the bad weeks have to be rare. I had 18 straight months of good weeks and now I'm in a 6 week streak of bad ones, great/awful clients make or break this system.
I get your point, but I also think you're wrong about it only being harmful.

Even if the review is done incorrectly, it's a data-point on a misconception your users have, and it gives you a chance to respond accordingly.

The company I work for has to deal with performance complaints all the time, some very from very public and loud entities in our Market. A company deciding to move away from our product signals very clearly across the market and it shows in our renewals numbers -- yet, we've never considered saying "don't benchmark us" in our contract.

Every single time these complaints kick up, we treat it as a chance to prove that we know our stuff, we reach out and offer to assist with re-evaluating, and explain our position, and most of the time, it works. It also shows a big public commitment to helping instead of just hiding behind our Legal Team, and it shows we know what we're doing.

We're not a huge company by any means in terms of actual persons able to act, but we still make it work without the need to put out such terms. If your customers are frequently doing something to make your product less than ideal, then you have an education issue that needs to be resolved.

> It is fair to criticize the prospective Equifax system and the concerns around pervasive data collection are valid. But the Chinese system is in a whole different, far more evil league.

I think calling it outright 'evil' is unfair.

The Chinese model at least comes from a well-intentioned place. It's a ham-fisted version of the "nudge" programs you see in places like insurance plans, with a bolder underlying goal to create a better society. Their definition of "better" may not be yours, but the goal is not inherently malicious.

The American take of this will have the exact same flaws-- the data will eventually be mishandled, the models will have holes you can drive a bus through-- but it's justified in the sake of "we'll get slightly more accurate pricing for credit and insurance".

Mmm I’m sure you accept that’s an extreme minority requirement.

Anyway, what’s painful about setting up multiple clients?
Gitlab. Same thing, massively better performance, feature set, etc. And you have the option of taking it in-house should a project scale to the point where that's useful.

I migrated everything off BitBucket to Gitlab. I'm forced to keep a Github account because it's expected. As soon as enough people move away from Github to allow me to drop it, I'll migrate those too.
Also, .exe had a larger header, afaik 512 bytes, that was luxurious for some use cases.

Yes, the moving ratchet of web bloat. It will be a new normal, true. It will still be shit.
The folks at Google aren't idiots. They now that there is a vocal minority of complainers, most of whom will accept the new UI after a week or two. For a customer base the size of GMail, placating every complaint is just not in the interest of their business.

That is one of the downsides of dominant marker players. Microsoft had the same leverage with Windows 10 (this round of complaints feels similar, although the focus is different).

People who don't like it should use IMAP/SMTP (until GMail shuts that down), or vote with their wallet and go somewhere else. The world could do with more competition for email.

So it's Diaspora meets a CMS? I thinking the issue here will be the chicken and egg problem - how do you bootstrap something like this without a killer app to drive adoption? After a certain critical mass adopts a system like that, all web applications start getting pressured toward supporting it too, but how do you ever build that critical mass to begin with? The whole point of the system is to prevent vendor lock-in, so what's the vendor's incentive to help make it popular?

Actually, what you're paying for is probably "bursts up to 100 mb/s" rather than "sustained traffic of 100 mb/s," whether or not it's marketed that way. ISPs commonly "oversubscribe" trunk lines dramatically. Back when I did trunk management at a big ISP in the dark ages of the internet (the late '90s), we oversubscribed at about a 5:1 ratio: basically, we sold 5 times as much bandwidth as the trunk actually had. As long as there was free bandwidth available you could get your full amount, but the amount you were guaranteed was one-fifth of that.

Of course, those were business lines and all those numbers were actually in the fine print of the contract. As far as I've been able to determine, if your residential ISP is only oversubscribing at a 10:1 ratio, you're pretty lucky (I've seen some reports from industry consulting firms that suggest 50:1 is more common), and the chances are they're not guaranteeing a minimum speed they can be held to.
