How valuable? $50 billion is enough to create a fund that pays out $2 billion annually in perpetuity, or about $15 for every BART ride. That’s not counting ongoing operations and maintenance. Does BART generate $15 in positive value per ride above and beyond ticket cost, relative to driving? I’m skeptical.

$3 I’ll believe. Which is why the constant factors kill us relative to Europe. It costs us 3-7x to build the same infrastructure as Europe. That pushes the required value per ride that needs to be generated to unrealistic levels.
"everything else over DoH"

I have local DNS servers set to resolve both our intranet and all external queries. Some external queries are blocked for various reason. Either a browser uses the local network settings or it gets banned from the network. This is not a discussion because the real world intrudes on what browser vendors think is best.
This is especially apt since altera is now owned by Intel, and they're the one this generation that put out a dud.
Server-side Includes or Edge-side includes, which would include either statically generated (but routinely updated) or dynamically generated (but cached for a short while) assets work just as well if not better, but they're "old" technologies, I guess?
Buzzsumo Report Shows Content Marketing Is Dying
DNSMASQ lets you luckily whitelist certain domains from dns rebinding protection (like Plex, which relies on resolving to internal IPs). I'm still not comfortable exposing internal network details to the internet however.
Isn't Zen 2 adding support for AVX512?
They did not own it from the start, but they did have a special privacy agreement with Pocket regarding user data. Also, the acquisition was a result of user feedback, something Google would likely ignore.
Oh, that Teller! I thought it was Edward with so-far unrevealed manuscripts.
I am in the same boat. I try to use the same basic look and feel and interface everywhere. I just use whatever formatting the framework comes with and then I might ask someone else to step in and give me css and logos etc later.

Indeed, the median works better in general, even on degenerate distributions. The Cauchy distributions has no defined mean, but still has a median.

We need to upgrade the FAQ to be more specific with the methods we use.

To be quick: The price come from many exchange. We exclude suspicious points. Then we do aggregation function like the average.

Averaging may not technically be the best method, but it is simple, and it has a wide support. And with the number of data points we have, we assume the Law of Large Number apply.

Still it could be interesting to use the median. I need to think more about it.
I've multiple solutions:

0. Use a css framework like Bootstrap or Bulma, it's not difficult to put together a website/webapp with a bit of CSS skills (you don't need to know a lot of CSS to create a good experience)

1. Team up with the UI/UX designer who you've worked in past and offer them your backend expertise for their project.

Good ol barter has saved my ass multiple times by now.

2. If you don't want to get someone from your workplace, you can go on upwork etc...and hire a freelancer, it's a paid option.
Hashes do.

Institutional archives do.
Avx512 is very new, especially to the server market. There likely aren't many people absolutely relying on it yet.
The point of per-user salts is to avoid common passwords from revealing themselves, so that an attacker can't limit his brute-force attempts to just the users with shared passwords that will be easy to break.
Unfortunately the choice isn't as easy now, personally. I'm stuck having to use an older, non-Quantum version for my daily browsing following Mozilla's decision to obsolete their previous addons as of v57 (and having since deleted them from their servers).

Previously Firefox was a no-brainer choice for its deep customizibility and functionality it afforded addons, which primarily distinguished it from Chromium, however since the move to Quantum I have too many addons without an equivalent to switch, with a couple favorites that did migrate to WebExtensions offering an inferior experience.

Vivaldi would be my second choice should I be forced to switch since its integrated features more closely match Opera's original features, albeit less extensive.

Mozilla felt the need to do what they did in that regard and I understand the various reasoning for the decision however the way it panned out didn't make for a browser I'm currently interested in upgrading to, sadly.
You can look at piece value as a heuristic for the strength of your position. The problem with purely positional play without regard for material is that you could miss some tactic that forces exchanges and suddenly you're down three pawns and losing. As humans we miss tactics a lot, which is probably why we value material as much as positional advantages.
If you want to talk about it, feel free to contact me

Edit: I am a UI/UX designer, would like to talk to anyone on this matter. I would actually like to team up with someone to work on some project (but not necessarily). I'm kinda a perfectionist, I don't like WordPress or ready-to-use themes/CSS-frameworks and I like things original, optimized, useful and beautiful from both inside and outside
Epidemics != disease. See my other comment to a similarly confused poster.

Even if you believe in transhumanism, I don't see how forcing others into that believe system would be "awesome". I like Chocolate Chip ice cream, yet I would oppose a law making it the only allowed flavour.

Other than that, I don't get what souls have to do with anything. I don't believe in God, or souls, or even dualism. Yet dignity, defined as each individual being worthy of respect (as opposed to being a collection of molecules expendable in the service of any other goal), would seem rather fundamental to our code of ethics.

I think by "souls" you're actually just referring to morality in general. And yes, if you subscribe in anything-goes nihilism, then I have nothing to answer you. Except that I'll be coming to rob you of your soul as soon as it becomes beneficial to my narrowly-defined interest.
The reasons for doing so are more practicality and having more to lose. If the baby would have risked some sort of horrifying genetic disease like say the one which causes your flesh to grow back as bone the risks would be totally justifiable.

It is an irony of medicine that dire circumstances make what would otherwise be recklessness permissible since they have nothing to lose.

That said once the technology is ready it would be outright immoral and stupid not to use it. Like not vaccinating against smallpox because it is unfair to those who aren't or not providing education because it would make the educated better off than the uneducated.
>Be the change you want and keep talking about it.

The OP already talked about the problem with this approach to things:
>"...it's very unfair for the minority trying hard to make things better. They pay a high price, with no thanks, and little benefits except the hope the others won't screw up things more."

The people who stick their necks out trying to make a change usually end up sacrificing a lot and not getting anything in return, even if their efforts are successful. Basically, they're "taking one for the team".

Luckily, with browser choices, it isn't nearly that bad; it's not that hard to switch browsers on a whim, after all, but for bigger issues (like political change, as the OP was referring to to a point, with his mention of protesting), "being the change you want" is usually not a winning strategy at a personal level, and a much more successful strategy is to simply go where the grass is greener.
Doesn't it matter more if those beliefs are correct?
For side projects, I always try and get as far as I can with a CSS UI framework, then ask friends for help. It's much easier to brief people if you have a woring prototype.
Lol, awkward faux pas are my speciality. Thanks.
"""It's fine to use a thesaurus to look up an alternative word for "clever" because you already used "clever" a few sentences ago. Just don't come back with "meretricious"."""

Good grief. I don't have a thesaurus, but do they really give those as equivalents?
Brand value, I guess? All AMD hardware (CPUs and GPUs) I've bought in the past was crap, I'm never buying anything from them again, no matter what they do. It's always the same: on paper they are better and cheaper, but once I have them at home they are worse and, in case of the GPUs, they have pathetic drivers. I've always felt ripped off after buying AMD, it's never worth it just to save some pennies.

This has been my experience, I wonder if others have felt the same.
Do you find you get as clean? That's been my only hesitation, I wasn't sure that cold water gets shampoo out as well or cleans odours as well.
In the 35 years since I bought my first one, I’ve never heard of anyone getting electrocuted. That would be quite a feat. First, the vinyl bladder has to leak. The electrical insulation of the heater has to have worn through to bare metal. That’s a trick because the heater lies pressed down by a few hundred kg of water. Finally, the vinyl “tub” the mattress sits in (in case the mattress leaks) has to have leaked, too, in order for water to get to the heater. Even then I think the odds are slim because it’s just a big resistive element. I suppose if both wires some how got exposed. Did I mention the several hundred kgs of water lying on it?

IOW, file it under “Things I Worry About When I am Done Worry About Killer Bee Attack’s”. It ain’t gonna happen.
It was sending off URLs visited by the host machine.

What if I chose Opera? Personally, I've never liked Firefox; it has always felt clunky.
Based on the shareholder reaction at HCL, nobody.
The killer feature for my switch from Atom was the built in terminal. Enough to let me be ok using a ms product temporarily to try it out. I appreciate their energy behind it - the update schedule, the changelog write ups, the listening to the feedback from the users.

I really liked the json config of atom. the code gui isn't my fave but it's ok.

Two other things helped me transition easily:

- click a button to edit `PATH` or whatever so that `$ code` opens up the editor from the terminal

- atom keymapping

The coffee script use in atom was unfamiliar territory for me too, so that part seemed distant.
I know a bunch of UI/UX folk, and I tend to just ping them if I have anything to design. Works quite well - many people will do a lot of short term work in exchange for pay.
If we're talking webapps, I tend to go to https://themeforest.net and buy HTML themes developed by professional designers. The cost is MUCH cheaper than hiring someone to develop the UI for you, and a lot of them are extremely high quality.
Mozilla made their choice to become Chrome in spirit if not engine. I don't see how picking Firefox is going to help. Maybe pick a browser that doesn't target tech ignorants that need to be protected from themselves by violating software freedoms. No browser that has a walled garden should be used.
Pocket used to be 3rd party for a moment, later Mozilla integrated it in Firefox and enabled integration for everyone by default. Some people didn't like it, but others love it. Pocket now belongs to Mozilla and is covered with the same privacy policy as other products and services from Mozilla (GDPR compliant before GDPR was a thing). There are plans to open-source Pocket the same way Firefox-sync is open-source and can be self-hosted. Some people just still think that browser is a stand-alone app that works without 3rd party code or integrations, they just never inspected network traffic of Firefox or any other browser.
Small claims courts have very low limits. So he would need to sue in a federal court ( unless it is a state chartered bank ), which takes time and costs a lot of money.

This is why one should have multiple bank accounts spread all over jurisdictions as well as keep some cash and credit lines ( also spread among different banks )
Genes don't work like that. Popular conception has it that DNA is like source code, but the reality of how genes and biological systems work requires a few addenda:

* The source code is completely undocumented and is written in a variant of Malbolge.

* We don't actually have a reference for that variant of Malbolge, so we're guessing what half the instructions actually do.

* The compiler is buggy and will only rarely compile your code correctly.

* The code itself is not modularized in any sane way. The code for left-pad, for example, also contains code that scans for bitcoin-stealing attacks and automatically removes them when run.

Any sort of idea such as "edit genes to make people taller [or more docile]" is well beyond our ability to understand, especially since a fair amount of those phenotypes are not driven by actual changes in DNA (welcome to epigenetics).
I've worked on a product that was built using "Front-end Microservices". Probably one of the harder development platforms I've ever run into.

It takes a lot of diligence and uncommon knowledge to do it successfully. For instance, when I started on this project, each "microservice" was deployed individually, meaning if you went from /account to /product you were loading an entirely different app. This gave users an initial page load several times during a typical workflow.

I currently work on a massive monolith which ties our entire backend and frontend together in one app. It's a little clunky but overall it makes it a lot easier for my team and me to ship reliable code.
Use a service like http://draftss.com/ or http://manypixels.co/
They provide a good value for the price. Alternatively, hire a designer accordingly to your budget
Well, given the installed base and utter pain in the butt to move off the platform, a company can make a good living supporting it for a long while.
Ask HN: How can I find links to download my personal data from various services?
Does anyone know of a website that links to all the ways I can download my personal data from various services? Basically a list of URL's such as takeout.google.com, facebook.com/dyi, etc. I seem to remember such webpage existing (perhaps seen on HN), but I can't seem to find it. Thanks
I have to say, one reason I've stuck with Firefox for so long is because of memory usage: Chrome/Chromium is a memory hog.
"The U.S. still makes — or at least, designs — the best computer chips in the world. China assembles lots of electronics, but without those crucial inputs of U.S. technology, products made by companies such as Huawei would be of much lower-quality."

The accusations against Huawei are coming at a time where this is simply not true anymore. Huawei are making their own chips under the HiSilicon brand. Just like Qualcomm chips, their CPU part is based on ARM IP, and ARM are based in the UK and owned by SoftBank. The current Kirin 980 is the fastest non-Apple SoC available on the market and as power efficient as the A12.

Why Team Management by Fear Is Bad for Any Business
If that's the case (which clearly it is), then limiting immigration is a bad move. Historically, the most powerful nations have been those with a free-wheeling economy and open/liberal attitudes. The U.S. needs to continue to attract the world's bright, ambitious, and hard-working people.

Now, I don't think the U.S. can afford to provide much of a safety net, in regards to basic income and healthcare if it's going to have open borders and a great deal of economic freedom. It will be expensive enough just to deal with the enviornmental problems of a dynamic economy.
Firefox Nightly lets you set the DoH server in network settings: https://i.imgur.com/wBAtJ7Z.png.

>> and the grounds for believing that human life begins at conception.

> How are they harmful?

Because it doesn't stop there.

It starts by banning abortion or restricting to some line (heartbeat, 4 weeks, etc..).

Doing abortion then turns into murder, and is charged by the state as such.

As the radicals (this belief is primarily christian) get more entrenched, then this window slides further into conception=life

Then miscarriages and 'intentional miscarriages' itself becomes a crime of murder. This has already happened in Virginia, Tennessee, and other locations around thw rodl: https://www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/a44552/when-a-m...

Having this belief takes away women's agency of their own bodies. It turns them into second class citizens by making their body worth less than the similar male, solely that they can have a baby.
I assume that most books must contain some false sentences. They are certainly worrying in a serious scholarly work, but not in the case of "Two Hundred Years Together", which is an informal essay that nobody is expected to use as the ultimate reference on historical facts.
^^ The fact that this is a government website makes it particularly egregious.
For UI problems, grab or buy a UI toolkit, it's better than you trying to write one from scratch.

For UX, read about UX research and show your work to potential users, make them talk constantly and just listen, see them struggle. It's priceless.
I have an extension that blocks audio per site already (mute sites by default). Awesome stuff, but blocks only the sound. It shows a little mute icon on the tab if it mutes. I simply unmute when I actually want sound and the setting seems sticky.

I was talking about video auto playing (with the sound off) by default. I don't want that ever, unless I allowed it before. I want to block html5 content from activating at all unless specifically allowed. I'm on the beta channel. As far as I know there are no plans to address this and extensions that have tried to implement this are running into some limitations that make this hard apparently. Hence a lot of variations of flashblock extensions that simply set the about:config setting instead of having per site policies with whitelists and blacklists.

Private browser containers would be nice to have even if they are not yet default out of the box. I'd simply make this an option on all containers (including the default one and default it to off). I agree the ux for this would need a bit work to be discoverable/intuitive.

China's ambition is to "rejuvenate the nation" to its past glory.

What kind of glory? Who knows. Certainly it's not about simply replacing the USA. China has no wish policing the world. (Maybe dicking around but certainly not busy installing democracy everywhere)

The reason China appears to acting against US is because it looks like the biggest abstacle for China's development is the island chains and the technological gap. Chinese are somehow extremely affirmative of their belief and power structure.
I think it could be done with iframes but it wouldn't be pretty.
Does blogging to keep from repeating yourself count as for yourself or for others? That's why I've kept a blog since 2000 or so. I'm no extrovert, but I still have to deal with people and I often end up making the same observation or explaining the same thing over and over in different conversations. When I catch myself doing that, I try to frame that thought in the clearest way I can as a blog post. Then I can point people to it in chat/email, or people I don't even know can find it themselves. In some ways it reduces the amount of direct interaction I have to be involved in.
I have a problem in this area and it has prevented me from moving back to Firefox. If I run Firefox on my 13" MBPr with the panel resolution (Scaled->More Space) then the battery usage goes through the roof. I'm following https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404042 and hope this issue gets fixed soon. It seems that Apple changes may have made this issue more apparent to users in general.

I can obviously follow Bugzilla, but does Mozilla have anyone working this from more of a support angle and provide high-level updates on the top issues like this?
Owned a small record label with two bands made it "huge." They made $7,000 a year on average while touring the world and selling a ton of merch and records.

Not sustainable for two reasons

1) Sadly this is only available to a small percentage of your fans. I still think it would be best to have a Donation/Patreon

2) Touring is EXPENSIVE! It is grueling and is the second biggest reason why bands break up. First reason for breakups is recording sessions and man some people are pig headed and others are lazy and it just goes boom.

Just get a donation system going. Think online busker. One of my favorite bands "Waterdeep" is a husband/wife band they basically travel around to do in people's living rooms concerts and they rest is paid for by donations. They both do a bunch of different things to get paid including recording engineer. https://www.waterdeep.com/about/

This is a similar issue to my own one; I'm way too easy to distract with the promise of neat tech or extra features, so end up spending longer coding the site than actually writing anything on it.

Wonder how many other developers end up falling into that trap?
If you're a PHP dev looking for a good solid CMS framework that (in my opinion helps you out tremendously while also staying out of the way). Check out kirby at https://getkirby.com.

Has a very large plugin eco system and a no database CMS system similar to jekyll/hugo.
ZTE was close to breaking point while they were blocked from US components, until that sanction was lifted (after the big fine). According to the Bloomberg article there may be a similar deal for Huawei - pay a huge fine or get locked out.
What will obviously happen is that the Chinese will not, can not, accept that they're depending on US components when they could get locked out from them at any moment. They will therefore accelerate, by whatever means (research, hack, steal, invent, anything) their own ability to produce all the parts themselves.
In short, putting the squeeze on China will only hold back the tide for a moment, and then backfire.
We are split on that.

We would like to offer historical API to paying customers. We have a lot of data.

But we want to retain customers. We do not want them to leave after dumping our data. At keep keep paying us :-)

So we came to the conclusion: you get data from when you start to pay us, and we add a little extra (last 2 months) but no more. It is in the FAQ.

Historical API, we must think more about that.
