> Then the pie has not grown. You're simply advocating throwing more people on an already broken system.

I'm not sure where you get this idea, but the growth of US GDP is evidence that the pie has grown. The reality is that corporations are keeping a larger percentage of that pie than ever before. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Secondly, I am not advocating for anything, I am just trying to understand your stance.
"Deliverance From 27,000 Feet" [1] in the New York Times really changed my view in a similar way. While the most successful and visible adventurers are consummate professionals there is an unseen tier of adventurers that take on more than they are trained for seeking glory without the required experience.

No. It's just words. Actions speak louder than words. Googles' actions in the last couple of days spoke pretty loud. No amount of words will change that.

Ask HN: Free or open-source methods to locally archive webpages?
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a free or open-source way to archive ... ideally to print a full-page PDF screenshot?

Native browser screenshot features (Firefox, Chrome) merely captures the page as an image -- no hyperlinks, and text isn't searchable by the system. The FirePlot Firefox/Chrome extension redirects (and occasionally breaks) the saved URLs unless you pay $40. Printing to PDF doesn't preserve the page as is and a site's printed stylesheet is often either non-existent or very wonky in terms of capturing page content.

I'm aware of WARC and WebRecorder, but that seems to not be local, and the process is also somewhat more excessively complicated than desired. Archive.is and other online archive copies are not local.

Mozilla's MAFF format didn't make the transition to Quantum.

Web-Capture.net is nice (no affiliation) but I'm hoping to find something that is not dependent on one person continuing to keep a service afloat.

Now I have a feeling that this situation is a real burden for my mind/brain and I consider using one; just trying to convince* myself. Up until this time, I was thinking that "it's a good mental exercise!", not any more. Maybe the reason is now I have too many things to ponder upon.

I'd like to hear (well, read) if any of you have ever been in the same situation and how was the transition like? :-)

IMO, even the translation of “a person fell to the ground” is representing someone who is overworked and tired. Of what, we may not know, but the feeling he is trying to portray to us is that of emptiness and loneliness.

Like the screw, nobody heard it and nobody noticed when he, or whoever it was in the poem, fell to the ground.

Yes, Android apps which want shiny modern features have to prompt on usage, but if an app says it is for old Android that couldn't do this it doesn't have to implement that behaviour (of course then it can't have new features since those didn't exist).

Google set a deadline for when no new "old" apps are allowed but I didn't pay attention to when that is.

I routinely tell (Android) apps that try to do too much that no they can't have access, but mostly I just uninstall them and use something better.
Yes but while horrible India and Pakistan lobbing nukes at each other would be on a different order of magnitude to the US and Russia launching a global thermonuclear war.

The graph of warheads per country is basically the US, Russia and everyone else combined is a distant third.

The UK had ~200 warheads about a quarter of which are deployed at anyone time, two US ballistic missile subs fields more than that (they have 18) and then the missile silos, the cruise missiles, the gravity bombs and on and on it goes...

You make a good point. Shackleton’s quirks are diminished in most histories. He could be a bit capricious in decision making. Scott was an utter fool, his reputation propped up after his disastrous expedition by the Admiralty and his widdow.

Roland Huntford’s twin biography of Scott and Amundson is a study in contrasts. In Antarctica, there are no preditors and no microbes. The only things that can kill you are bad planning and poor execution. Scott died with his polar party from bad nutrition and poor judgement. Amundson’s polar party got there first, got home again, and gained weight on the trip.
Crazy how of all the recommendations put forward in the article, none of them actually say what the article admits! That is, inclusionary zoning, or any other affordability mandate put on private developers, is a failure and cannot work. If you goal is to make lots of cheap subsidized housing, mandating developers to give away 30% of their profits will certainly cause a ton of other issues.

We see IZ popping up everywhere because politicians get to claim they are helping the most needy without raising taxes or really asking anything from the normal citizen. In fact, we can see here that the side effects are numerous and quite scary.

And yet, SF tries and tries to magically create more cheap housing by telling developers they must do xyz without any care or reason to the market realities.
It might be interesting to see a form of encoding that removes similar-sounding letters/numbers as well. No more "A" or "J", "B" or "D", "3" or "T" confusion. Just stuff with a distinct sound!
My comment wasn't with reference to the Bay area.
It's not trade, it's US facilitated trade via the Bretton Woods system which has enabled free trade between countries that previously went to war over resources (among other things). Much of global trade is facilitated and protected by US empire.

I'm not being jingoistic, and am very cynical about US intentions, practices and policies, but the reality is that without US military hegemony, countries that fought for resources, like on the NEP, might again.
This is correct. They write them, often years, in advance.

Because their cousin is sick. Because they want their daughter to go to school in the city and move up the socioeconomic ladder. Because their parents are injured and can no longer work. These jobs require sacrificing all of your personal freedom to support others. They require enduring human rights abuses themselves to so others don't have to work this very job. The reasons why farmers are leaving their fields isn't for their personal well being at all, it is altruism.

The intensity of farm work isn't even comparable. You aren't toiling in the fields doing the same exact thing for hours every day, every month, every year like you do in a factory. Most labor happens during harvest and planting seasons, maintenance labor throughout the year is focused on improving your living conditions or other local projects, something you can't do if you are working for the factory. Unfortunately, things come up that can only be fixed with immediate or continued access to capital, so you have to send one of your family members hundreds of miles away to work in a factory to fuel an emergency fund. The problem with farm work isn't the work, it's the lack of enough pay to deal with disaster.

I think a solution that generalizes and has the possibility of actually working is for the result of compromised hardware to show up in the consumers' bill.

We expect to pay a low, fixed, monthly price for unlimited bandwidth, but what happens when someone else gets their hands on that bandwidth?

It's nice to hold manufacturers accountable for their woes, like shipping routers with "admin":"" creds, but what about all the other reasons devices get pwned, like users downloading malware or falling for those fake download-button ads or using something like Hola VPN that turns them into an open relay?

Some ISPs will give you a phone call or shut you down entirely if they probabilistically think your bandwidth is compromised, but that involves a lot of complexity.

If ISPs weren't racing to the bottom with the meaning of the word "unlimited", they could be honest about bandwidth prices and service levels instead of using a complicated throttling system to maintain the facade that bandwidth really is unlimited.

Also, there would be natural filtering pressure against, say, insecure IoT devices that end up impacting people's ISP bill.
The presence of nuclear self defense is what keeps nuclear armed nations from engaging in aggressive wars with other nuclear armed nations.

The US and Russia are already in the midst of several proxy wars: Ukraine, Syria and Libya. In addition, Russia is directly destabilizing Europe by funding alt-right parties financially (AfD/DE, FrontNational/FR, FPÖ/Austria, Jobbik/HU, Lega Nord/IT) and by promoting their crap on Twitter and Facebook, as well as their "media outlets" that historically have spread alt-right propaganda (Sputnik, RT), but now have expanded to liberal/leftie propaganda (Inthenow, Ruptly, Redfish).

The Chinese seem to be playing the long game by strategically investing in infrastructure like roads and rail across Africa, probably both for strategic advantages (given Africa's large reserves of anything from rhino horns over diamonds and uranium to rare-earth metals) and economic advantages (the US and EU markets are saturated, South America is going down rapidly, but Africa can only grow and buy Chinese products in return - basically the Marshall Plan just without the war).

Also, both China and Russia engage in cyber warfare - the Chinese right now mostly for economic espionage, the Russians at the moment for destabilizing democracy.

What worries me is the shit some Arab countries are trying to play with Israel (esp. Turkey!) and the skirmishes between India and Pakistan, as well as Pakistan's problems with terrorism. Both countries are highly volatile and hell I don't want to experience the Taliban getting hands on Pakistani nukes.

So, there are LOTS of possibilities for nuclear-armed powers to go to war, and some not even violent. The key is that no power ever actively uses nuclear weapons, but there's nothing that prevents them from using conventional ammo. There's enough of that alone to blow the planet to pieces.

I suppose I am just used to a deeper keypress. I tried typing on one for about 10-15 minutes in the store and I just kept mistyping almost every third word. It's difficult to describe. I guess my fingers are used to needing to move further to successfully press the keys so they just overcompensate for the smaller range of motion.

Perhaps I could get used to it after awhile but I would rather not have to relearn how to use a keyboard when it is so different from the ones I use for my desktop and work machine.
With all due respect, I'm currently working with a bi-partisan group that is looking into this issue. While you may not agree with my interpretation, there are many who are more well versed with the intent (IE: know the people who wrote the original bills) and the law who agree with my interpretation. A concentration of power among a few tech companies is very worrying, but that along with the moralizing of these large pseudo monopolies is a major problem. IE: When your platform has 80+ percent market share, and is actively censoring people for espousing views expressed by the elected president of the United States. Now this does not explain the European situation, but their position does not surprise me. With all of the EU's flaws they do have better anti-trust provisions, and in this case it doesn't hurt that it is a foreign company...

Much of global trade is facilitated by the US military. If that support and protection is withdrawn, people will be more likely to dive into war over resources.

I'm not saying the US is _good_ because they prop up free trade. It's just empire 2.0, not some altruistic quest on the US's part.

I moonlighted / freelanced between 2005-2008, then have freelanced / had a small team from 2012-present. I'm not convinced it ever gets easier. I've been a long-time face at various networking events, I've sponsored conferences, I've cold-called - you name it, I've probably tried it. I've seen some very large companies grow on the back of a single large client, with all of the risk that entails. Nearly every long-term freelancer I've seen has had some scenario that would be very difficult for someone else to reproduce.

Assuming you are going to stay a freelancer, the best advice I can give is to find a niche and sell the heck out of that niche. The best overall advice I can give is to get the heck out of freelancing and move as quickly as possible to building a product, where you can use and hire traditional marketing channels.
I don't think there is anything that consumers could do when the entire market is supported by this model. This is something that will have to be driven by government regulation, not the market that benefits from this system. The best thing you could do is support politicians who care about these human rights abuses, and who don't care about angering shareholders.

Agreed. A slice or two of pizza (depending on size and heartiness) should be enough to fill up a healthy belly, without containing enough of any one ingredient for it to be unhealthy (provided it's made without any processed crap). Unfortunately for me, pizza is one of two foods that I have a hard time not eating until it's gone, with ice cream being the other.
When you respond with “Thanks for sharing!” or “Glad you enjoyed it!” or “Very cool!” to an email message, you are not responding as an in-the-wild human. You are responding as a human that has been prompted by a robot.

Exactly. I've been burned by the whole "it's free so just sign up and cancel later". Not that this is exactly the case here.

My email address obviously has monetary value to them, so I'm immediately curious as to why, exactly. When I can just pay money, it eliminates an entire class of concerns [0].

How much you eat, whether or not you work out, and how many calories you burn has nothing to do with whether or not pizza is a junk food.
Also, this MCM approach is a common Intel strategy. They did it for early dual core CPUs (Pentium D) and again with early quad core CPUs (e.g. Q6600 was basically two E6600 chips).
Generally, using yourself as a user proxy for most applications will be worse than using personas, unless you’re part of the core user base. Doing user-focused research and road-testing prototyping against users is critical, but impractical during the detailed define and design phase. So personas are an imperfect compromise, but a compromise that works well as long as you keep its pitfalls in mind.

Our practice is to define a taxonomy of user types that map to quantitatively-defined archetypes, with personas developed qualitatively to draw out specific motivations and viewpoints uncovered during ethnography. It sounds like the MSFT team got to archetypes and then dropped stock photos and a description on top of them, which isn’t unusual but is definitely not good practice. You can’t just create an “average user” and call it a day, because you need to encompass a pretty broad set of behaviors, intents, capabilities, and needs.

Be careful with extrapolation. People said the same thing about the USSR, Japan, and the EU.

Sure the US won't be as dominant as they are now forever, but extrapolating China's growth from a very poor developing country to their current level and assuming that means that they might make some kind of leap that allows them to take over the world is going too far.

One of the great things about browsers is the way you can trust them to be reasonably sandboxed from the rest of your machine. Features like this chip away at that trust model and open up new attack vectors against unsuspecting users. I get the usability benefits, but the security implications are scary. How easy would it be to trick my mother into uploading her profile picture and have the site change that file into a malicious executable without her realizing? At a minimum, I'd hope you would be restricted from changing file permissions or editing any executables.
It's starch, dairy and processed/cured meat regardless how you make it. Usually meetups serve from counter takeout chains which makes it even worse. There is no argument for pizza not being a junk food.
“Affordable housing” is just a coded way to avoid saying “subsidized housing”. So it should be no surprise that they run out of money for it, there is near-unlimited demand for subsidized housing and can sink any dollar amount into it that you could budget.

SF needs to build more dense housing. A lot more. Granting subsidized housing to a tiny minority feels good and maybe is alright as a bandaid, but isn’t ever going to solve the problem in the long run.

Build dense, everywhere you can. I sympathize with folks who worry about how it will change their neighbourhoods but not addressing the problems has produced even more negative change. Build build build.
