We’ve empowered local bodies with veto power. This raises costs because of the holdout problem translated to regional politics. Add to the mix trade unions (not wild speculation, see NY MTA paying $1k/hr for non-existent jobs), large project fanboys, and exceptionalism (“this line will have a signaling mechanism that’s first in the world”) and you have sheer economic suicide. And that’s not even counting that there’s no project management expertise on this scale still present in America.

In the decades between now and completion, you’ll see the price rise continuously. Each time, you will be subject to the subject cost fallacy and people will say things like “but isn’t 150 billion worth it?”, “isn’t 200 billion worth it?”

People were told the 46 billion was not going to happen and all the way up to today’s 97 billion they’ve pulled these tactics. Many of the fans will think it’s worth it at 1 trillion for no reason. They won’t admit it now, but as the price rises you’ll see that no price rise will faze them.
Beyond minimizing being tracked everywhere you browse, separate environments for office, personal, and client accounts — Google, Fb, IG, LinkedIn, Twitter, PayPal, banks, brokers — are useful in many cases.

your education influences how you think. universities and colleges invariably have political stances and the provision to learn the good/bad of the same. i shudder to think what a company will do to kids straight out of highschool with the same amount of time

unions bad! does work life balance really matter? are conservative ideologies really better fundamentally? these are viewpoints you can EASILY inculcate in a teenager given the right amount of motivation(responsibilities,perks,money,being treated as an adult etc etc)

i can't see how a company would NOT abuse this. it's a golden opportunity to create drones that work perfectly ONLY in your culture

I've read thousands of CV's, and completely agree with this. Just mentioning you've got leadership skills doesn't say much, but if you show you've lead a tricky project/situation, it starts making sense. Same for tech skills.
I find it a bit of a strawman. "Untyped" is not a very common term for programming languages. "Dynamically typed" is much more common in my experience. I'd call something like CSV untyped.
Qualys is used by O2 which has the ability to manage certificates - see their website. Most large IT systems use centralised monitoring using feeds from several sources. Did someone forget to monitor this data or was the feed from this data either ignored or out of date?
Sounds like you’re talking about the price elasticity of demand. You describe airline travel (at least for personal economy class flights) to be fairly inelastic, meaning that if the price rises even a little bit, a lot of people will just drive or not take the trip. That certainly rings true to me. I recently bought US domestic flights home for Christmas, and I certainly chose the absolute cheapest flight that fit the schedule and had less than 2 hours of layover. The price was already brutal, and I felt like I was very near the top of my price tolerance.

But I feel like the Lyft/Uber mode of transport is generally more spontaneously and is therefore generally more elastic. Sure, there are undoubtedly some inelastic use cases, like regular commutes, but there are also some very elastic use cases, like a ride home from the bar or a rescue from the rain. I am definitely interested to see how the breakdown of these different use cases turns out to be, but for me and my friends and peers in the SF Bay Area, the latter use case definitely dominates.

> the difference in UI performance is astounding

I could not agree more. I've made numerous attempts to embrace the new hotness that is VSCode but I just cannot get over the performance. Yes, it has some cool features, the plug-in ecosystem is booming, and it sure looks pretty. But at the end of the day none of it is compelling enough for me to put up with the constant lag.

It's funny because after several of these experiments I have literally wondered to myself if I'm getting stuck in my ways or becoming a so-called "greybeard" due to my long term adherence to Sublime Text, but is constantly getting annoyed with how slow an editor is really a hallmark of old age? I'll wait for your web page to load, I'll wait for an ssh command to return. I will not wait for my bloody text editor. I have no patience whatsoever. Now god damn it NOW!

Another thing I wonder is how many of those VSCode users have simply never used anything better. If all you've ever known is an iPhone 5, you probably think it's pretty great - maybe you think that's just how phones are! This impression will be totally ruined of course when you try an iPhone X...

Generally speaking anyone can create malicious software disguised in various way, so FOSS project included.

However instead of creating a "antivirus" vs "virus" classic scenario, that we all know it doesn't work my lines is: all must be open (hw, sw) and developed in a FOSS way from the start.

For instance if you are an hw OEM who want to produce a new GNU/Linux phone? Ok, start work on it in a public repo. If your project interest others, many with valuable skills came to help. Perhaps including some bad one. But the community will protect you, because you publish from the start the rate of benevolent and interested individuals that follow your project from the start will likely detect any bad guys, far better than any software, heuristic and even "AI" in general terms. After you know that community give credit so if the project will be successful people will buy your product, paying you back for your part of work and physical production. Other, of course, may use your schematics and software for free but if they add competitive features you get them back for free because of FOSS licensing, if they do not respect licenses you'll get backed by FSF&c that have a firepower and advertising capability normally superior to any new company/startup. Otherwise if there is only a price competition many will go for the cheap, many, not all. And if you and the community keep innovate the project you keep gaining money, no different than pharmaceutical industry that do research vs pharmaceutical "generic" industry.

Long story short: I can't trust closed sources extensions nor more nor less than closed source security software, I can't trust a company no more than another (only reputation can lead to small percentage variations). So I do my best to avoid inoculate in my systems software that I can't trust... Good assessments are still needed but they are IMO not really much valuable without the openness at the base: the need of trust is a weakness, so we need to being able to trust each other with the power of verify trust at the core, not only at the skin.

> all languages I've worked with will handle a "small" line width of 80 character just fine most of the time

Guessing you don't write Java? While you could do it, you'd have so much line wrapping that I imagine it would be much more annoying/difficult to read.

I think most people on HN don’t realize one thing, though: most Americans are very much in favour of this sort of pork barrel funding. They may say otherwise but when it comes down to it the operative reasoning is “everyone else will get the pork barrel but me so I need to get in on it”. Revealed Preferences are pro-pork.
VSCode is only on the rise because alternatives are really bad. Meanwhile, it offers good defaults, and decent latency on modern hardware but for me it is just a glorified syntax highlighter.

VSCode becoming so popular should not tell us it is a great product, but that most modern alternatives suck.
I can imagine it. I’ve lived in San Francisco since 2011, and I remember using Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar. I have had long periods where I was “loyal” to each of those three, with Lyft being the current and longest-lived loyalty. At various times in the past I would comparison shop between all three, looking for the cheapest or quickest option.
I understand your points, but I would suggest to consider a different point of view:

1. When you're experimenting with a seriously new technology or approach, the most likely outcome is that you'll fail, especially at the market adoption level. Being able to conduct your experiment at a lower cost is still a net positive, except for one point: having invested less, you are more likely to abandon the experiment early, because of the sunken costs fallacy. That doesn't necessarily need to be the case.

2. Developer velocity/productivity is something that you can demonstrate - as long as the difference is consistent, like, not 10% faster, but 80% faster. Other social/political concerns are a different thing, but really, gaining market adoption based only on those is VERY difficult - if that wasn't the case, I don't think we would be having this discussion at all, because Firefox would have a much higher penetration.

So, the point is, how is having a completely separate codebase going to help with having success? It could attract a higher number of idealistic developers, but the additional work required is very likely to negate that advantage.
i don't remember now and it seems impossible to find an article with my list of complaints but:

1. feature parity wasn't there. i already have whatsapp,you're asking me to move. feature parity would be minimum requirement

2. it didn't auto discover people like whatsapp does(or atleast it didn't when i tried it initially), people needed to sign up for it adding friction to an already unpleasant process of getting people to switch

3. duo wasn't in allo and allo wasn't in duo. if there had been just one app it would have had a greater value prop(at the time) of chats with video chatting. instead there was a whole 'nother app to manage. once whatsapp announced voice calls(followed by video) getting anyone to "allo/duo" was absurd

4.i remember number porting was buggy in some way, just flat out didn't work for 2 days

can't remember the rest but i remember something about the emojis bugging me(google implementation different from whatsapp) and being unable to send pdfs

it needed to compete from day one not "find it's feet" gradually. i find this to be a problem with all google products really
Is it these ones? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fxk6x2eqDo
I have sympathy, debugging is hard! But it's weird that across hundreds of threads no one from the dev group has anything to say, or that there is not disclaimer or "ask for help" or whatever.

"Yes we are aware that a certain percentage has severe performance problems on osx, we believe this has to do with the Retina displays blah blah" - instead it seems like no one from the dev group has been following this problem when you ask them. Despite weekly threads, just like the posts here on Hackernews in every FF thread.

I didn't work for Apple, I worked for UniSoft who did the Unix port to the Mac2 (we got half of the original batch of Mac 2 proto boards, I got to debug [and fix] the hardware).

After we handed it over the group who did the UI work were pretty small within Apple - I think it was mostly politics, my view of Apple in those days (and the few years after) was that everything was politics, I remember the firewire guys coming around and shilling for supportive developer comments to try and keep their project afloat at one point. I'd guess that 2/3 of every cool thing designed at Apple got shelved, people who had poured several years of their lives would walk.

A/UX died more slowly, switching to the PPC killed it, Apple decided not to do a Unix port (we probably could have done one faster than getting the MacOS working)
I would switch in a heartbeat if the audio issue for sped up videos is solved...
It definitely is true, these are electrified lines and rolling resistance is low. For equivalent distances elsewhere emissions are 80-90% lower with rail over air transport. With the potential for solar in SoCal there is no reason this could not be even better.

Dividing the landscape is a separate issue. It can be mitigated against (tunnels, habitat bridges, route planning), but alone it's not an excuse to stick with emission heavy modes of transport.

Definitely not an edge case, our whole company uses MacBook pros with retina display and all have the same issue. Fans spin like crazy, usability is abysmal. The moment that is fixed I'd switch. I've also reported the bug to Mozilla.
Chrome flags though die out so fast there's virtually no point in exposing them at all, it's disappointing and frustrating almost every release.
I’ve definitely been turning more and more towards the concept of mindfulness and being in the present moment. Although I’ll say that while it helps, I find it far from fulfilling regarding all this. It scratches the itch sometimes in a small way, but there’s still a lot of agony left over. I’ve also though more about boxing/martial arts but again I’m hesitant to jump in and try it when similar efforts have left me empty handed.

I’d love to hear more if you have the time to spare.

Interesting comment. I think if you were to read one of the gospels you'd pretty quickly get instructions on what God wants:

1. Love God

2. Love other people as much as you love yourself.

You'll find the second one in Buddhism, but not really the first.

That makes rather a lot of difference, because it focuses someone on being grateful for the world, rather than attempting to ignore it.

You seem to be assuming there would only be one main line, and that this is a proposed reduction. I don't see it that way at all. Assume the line is two tracks. Add two more at each station, for a total of four, but just at the stations.

It's like with cars: we pull over to the side instead of just turning off the engine in the middle of the road.

At a station that uses island platforms, from west to east you have: southbound through traffic, southbound stopping trains, the platform, northbound stopping trains, northbound through trains.

At a station that uses separate platforms, from west to east you have: southbound platform, southbound stopping trains, southbound through trains, northbound through trains, northbound stopping trains, northbound platform.

Of course, in reality the line may have sections with different numbers of tracks. It could be 1, 2, 3, or 4. There could even be gauntlet tracks.

There is always bias in something manmade. The tests might be slightly unfavorable for certain kind of developers.

In some comment here it was mentioned that the C#-tests are not good enough and some others mentioned that this company seem to favor dynamic languages. Maybe there is some truth to that.
Yes it would be fairly easy:

1. Start in one city only and concentrate on that.
2. Get your service listed in Google Maps.
3. Gradually expand.

Job done. The only real defence against that is that Uber/Lyft could probably afford to undercut you until you go out of business, Walmart-style.
You are implying that ads are mandatory part of life when we know that they aren't. I agree with the analytics part, however I would not use Google for that either. For me AMP is pretty useless and it is another way for Google to hijack the web.

Kubernetes only accepts very limited forms of auth by default.

Typically, it's limited to client certificates that have been signed by the private key the apiserver has access to.

Client cert auth over tls is pretty damn secure. I expose my kubernetes cluster's apiserver to the internet and have, to my knowledge, had no issues yet.
The individual use-cases don’t matter. What matters are the points of contact between AI as a concept and the fundamental economics of human life as we know it. AI will change the economics of life in very fundamental and very negative ways. Why does it matter or help to be active some branch of AI in particular? It won’t change this!

The only solution to this problem is the banishment of AI. There is no other way to preserve life as we know it. AI might not provoke these changes within my lifetime. But people are very happy to protest and march for global warming even though it also will not end the world within our lifetime. There is a strange cognitive dissonance there. The logic is very similar: even if there is a small chance that it could end the world, better to err on the side of caution. The consequences of AI will be indescribably worse for humans than global warming, so why not exercise caution?
