> I mean that's just revisionist history. Yes everyone knew Facebook was selling your data.

The fact that they sell data is probably the only thing that hasn't been a purported scandal. Rather, what the media started claiming was a scandal in 2016 was that Facebook had an API in 2007. Which somehow became an issue as soon as FB kicked media companies out of the newsfeed.
There are probably hundreds of volumes of new city planning regulations that were added in most countries in the West in the past 50 years. Assuming this does not impact installing new equipment and facilities is naive.
Literally everything I see has Hangouts branding. And, not just for me or my events...I was invited to a meeting with someone from another company yesterday, and everything about it was branded with "Hangouts" and not "Meet", too.

Also, the Google Meet website is laughably useless. It has literally no content, not even a description of what it is.

I'm really curious what a simple algorithm would be? I know that penny stock traders usually operate within the first hour of trading mostly looking for stocks that are poised to gap open on some event looking to catch upward momentum, even if only 1% or 2%.

Growing up, we did not even have a key for our house. Lots of places around the US, there is no need for keys. It is really hard for some people to grasp the idea based on how and where they grew up. My wife grew up in a gang riddled area and will not abide unlocked doors if we are out and about.
Wars are coming at you, either you like it or not, because not everyone in the world shares your values, and some are willing to go really far to impose their incompatible ones over yours.
Yes, it's attacking their prosperity. That's the whole point of embargos: to attack the prosperity of countries that are doing bad things (like developing nuclear weapons). We choose to attack countries prosperity because it's drastically less harmful than attacking them militarily. For that reason it's crucial that those who circumvent embargos are held responsible.

To use an analogy, if the US is a cop the embargos are her taser and military intervention are her handgun. Outside of exigent circumstances she should prefer the former to the latter. While it's worthwhile to criticize unnecessary usages of the former, removing the less lethal option means plenty of bad actors get shot when getting tased would have resolved the threat.
It's actually Hangouts Meet, so you are both right. Or both wrong, whatever.
They're giving you their content for free. It's a transaction--you want something, you pay for it. In the case of free content from an excellent magazine, in the form of ads.

If you want to steal it, install an ad blocker.

You can also buy the magazine in paper form, but you'd probably get upset because there's ads in there too.

Why, yes, I'd rather we didn't do business with a country that has close to 1M people in forced reeducation camps. I am OK with not profiting from some things. A dystopian "social credit" police state, for example, is apparently very high on my list of places not to invest in, be associated with, or deal with at all.
That’s a great idea. I’ve just been playing with the implementation from the PEP, and it makes things really easy.

The speed of simply extracting a bunch of wheels directly in to `__pypackages__/$PYVER/lib/` is a huge benefit. It behaves well if you symlink from a global tree of extracted packages too, like an even simpler version of pundler¹.

Good question. The Model 3 battery[1] weighs 478 kg so 9x = ~4,300kg. 11 people on board is another 1,000kg (not including the golf clubs). MTOW[2] is 6,350kg so the airframe needs to weigh in at ~1,000kg.

I'm sure they can make a battery lighter than a Model 3 battery (optimized for weight rather than cost), but how much lighter???

Unlike liquid fueled aircraft, you won't be able to trade off fuel weight for passenger weight to stay under MTOW.

> Do you want to hurt US market/USD ? Because thats what use of your justifications will do.

That's not going to happen. China is also not going to over-react. They're going to under-react, because their economy and global political context is at a slightly precarious point. It's why the US has been able to apply such immense tariffs without China doing anything crazy so far: they still need the US more than the US needs China (which isn't the same thing as the US not needing China at all). It's also partially why China is relatively eager to find positive ground with the US on trade issues. For example the US is currently building a coalition to reform the WTO in a manner that is detrimental to China (it caused the recent surge in Chinese interest in settling the trade dispute). The US is running perpetual trade deficits with almost everyone (specifically of importance, the major economies), which leaves most everyone having more of an interest in going along with the US rather than China on trade modifications. To say nothing of the IP issues and market barriers in place in China.

China will find a modest way to stab the US over this, unless it's resolved relatively quickly. It won't be a big deal for China, arresting one executive is not something they'll care to shake the world over at all. This isn't Jack Ma we're talking about, which would demand a big response due to his prominence and popularity. This is a nation run tightly by a Communist party that at the highest levels (ie Xi) barely likes business executives to begin with, they merely tolerate them as useful tools to get from here to there in a process that China perceives itself as going through. Executives of that sort are pawns that can be thrown away or swapped out with little concern. Overall it may be nothing more than the US acquiring a small bargaining chip at a tiny cost, which it can then release to perceived good will when it does so. It's a relatively simple political move if that's the case.
That's an interesting statistic. According to Wikipedia, the Tesla's battery is around 500kg, so the aircraft is carrying around 4500kg in batteries. For comparison, the 10-seat Cessna 404 Titan weighs just 2200kg when empty and has a max take-off weight of 3800kg. So the battery alone weighs more than a similar Cessna, full of pax, luggage and fuel. Hm.

They list a MTOW of 6350 kg. Less 800kg for 10 fully clothed adults and the weight of the battery, there's only 1000kg left for the plane. Maybe that's possible?
>Wonder how they made it light enough to be able to fly...

You get a massive weight savings in the engines and all related components. DC motors are multiple times smaller and lighter than the equivalent powered turbine engine when you consider the entire system. On top of that you totally eliminate the need for variable pitch props and the related transmission parts since electric motors can adjust power instantly. You also negate a lot of hydraulic systems (and their redundant backups) without the need for things like fuel pumps, thrust reversers, etc.

It also seems they are not using anything like standard li-po tech. From their site:

>Utilizing industry-leading lithium-ion batteries and a proprietary Aluminum-Air system for range, we’ve surpassed the 400Wh/kg mark.

For reference this is nearly double Tesla's energy density. Of course the cells will be much more expensive, but that matters a lot less for a low volume, high usage application that can be amortized.

"It should not come as a surprise that Facebook — a giant, for-profit company whose early employees reportedly ended staff meetings by chanting “domination!” — would act in its own interests.

But the internal emails, a rare glimpse into Facebook’s inner workings, show that the image the company promoted for years — as an idealistic enterprise more dedicated to “bringing the world closer together” than increasing its own bottom line — was a carefully cultivated smoke screen."
I think you're mischaracterizing the costs a little. It's certainly true that Company level profit margin is not in the 80s, but operating income is certainly fairly high. The profits come from compensating the Company for the risk that they have taken, and not necessarily straight for costs. There's certainly room to argue that the pharmas are capturing a too-large slice of the pie, and I personally welcome the debate.

go make this UI with pure Win32 primitives

I happen to be both a demoscener and Win32 programmer, so I know exactly how to do those sorts of effects without bloat. That doesn't mean I necessarily advocate doing it, however.

It's ironic that you mention fancy progress bars, when the ones in the VS installer are even less fancy than the built-in OS ones. 2 colours, no 3D border, not even a gradient.

One of my annoyances is applications which reinvent standard OS controls and UI. The OS has (or unfortunately, more like had these days... but that's a different rant) theming and customisation capabilities for a reason. Don't try to be different just for the sake of being different, you'll stand out and not in a good way. It's an accessibility issue too: what happens when your custom-rendered UI is run on a system where the user has configured a custom colour palette (because he/she is colourblind, or just finds some colour combinations easier to use)? The OS UI widgets all have a consistent style and change all together, more than can be said of custom UIs.

(In applications like games, it often makes perfect sense to build a custom UI because it's part of the gameplay experience; but for a productivity application, a custom UI just gets in the way.)

If that's the case, it might be that a contingency approach of a small extension of the legs outwards (only a little) might help.
Hey there.

Can you point at something in my reddit posts that is inaccurate or plain wrong? I agree that my tone could be better but notice the difference between my first post to him and my subsequent replies. It's hard to maintain a civil attitude when I am immediately accused of being a shill. Nevertheless, I think I have provided enough useful information to him. Notice how he responds each time.

You wrote that you disagree with me regarding Chrome being inherently more secure than Safari. Fair enough. Do you have any additional information that makes you think so? I pointed to PWN2OWN when I made my point. I think it easily proves that Chrome is indeed inherently more secure than Safari. That does not mean that he has to move to Chromium, it was one suggestion. He could stick with WebKit and implement a sandbox of his own. Or choose not to do that but let users know, loud and clear, that this is the case so everyone understands the trade-offs involved.

To me, based on my interactions with him on reddit, it seems that jmercouris needs to revisit a lot of his beliefs and rapidly bring himself up-to-speed with the current state of browser security.

That's why I wrote Chinese have greater sense of their own history. Many Westerners can rattle off Bible quotes but not text from ancient Rome and Greece. I can tell you with certainty that most Chinese do know at least a few quotes from ancient Chinese books.
Interesting concept.

I’m curious what voltage the pack runs at and how long it would take to charge. Many of these types of aircraft operate in FAR Part 135 on-demand operations. Aircraft and crew utilization are crucial for the business model.

Expensive airplanes and pilots don’t make money sitting on the ground. Of course, if operating costs (fuel) are a fraction of a traditional aircraft then margins get better but do they get good enough to offset 2-3x more aircraft and pilots to operate those aircraft to be able to fulfill demand?

I hate to sound like the people who constantly naysay electric cars because of charging times but in this industry turn around time is crucial.

Ask HN: Is Apple's time server inaccurate today?
I am traveling outside the US and noticed my phone and Macbook which are always in sync timewise were off by 2 minutes today. I checked the US Nist server to find my phone is correct (accounting for timezone difference) but that my Mac is running 2 minutes fast. When I checked the apple time server setup on the mac to make sure nothing got changed it is showing 2 minutes fast, hence why my Mac is.

Even network latency wouldn't account for 2 minutes, so I am not sure what is up. Can anyone else confirm/refute this? Just trying to see what is going on.

A lot of the extraterritorial power of US jurisdiction is due to the fact that a lot of international commerce is denominated in USD. Matt Levine writes about this occasionally in his informative and amusing news letter "Money Matters" [1], for example [2]:

> The basic system of international trade is:

> 1. International trade is done using U.S. dollars.

> 2. Any trade done using U.S. dollars is subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. government: Dollars flow through banks in the U.S., and if the U.S. government doesn’t want dollars to be used for some purpose—to fund genocide or terrorists or dictators or narcotraffickers—then it can reasonably effectively cut off dollar funding for those purposes, and punish banks, including foreign banks, that disobey it.

> 3. The U.S. is a good and responsible steward, and only cuts off dollar funding for bad purposes like genocide or terrorism or totalitarianism or drugs.

[...]

> If other countries lose confidence that the U.S.’s decisions about who can use dollars are predictable, stable, constrained by the rule of law and responsive to the concerns of other large economies, then those other countries might look elsewhere.

Or the beginning of [3]:

> There was also a sense of uneasiness with the U.S. using the power of the dollar to enforce its foreign policy: Because all dollar payments are nominally processed through the U.S., moving dollars anywhere in the world effectively puts you under U.S. jurisdiction, even if the dollars are financing purely non-U.S. transactions. Lots of Europeans — bankers but also politicians and businesspeople and regular citizens — didn’t have the same antipathy to, say, Cuba that the U.S. does; they found it unfair that European banks were prohibited from doing business in Cuba not by European regulations but by American ones.

About 3.8 tons they say for the battery. They're relying on removing some excess structure from the battery.

Well, if one were to wake up one day and find that another nation had arisen, say, one that is world's large manufacturer and that a vast number of companies rely on and where a large number of powerful Westerners happen to wind-up at one point or another, well, however far-fetched this might seem, this situation might put a wrench in this idea of US hegemony.

Not that easy, as most international trade is denominated in USD, and nominally flows through the US, and makes it subject to US jurisdiction. Which is one reason there is a growing push for denominating trade in EUR or CNY instead.

CP/M, without a doubt the most popular OS for Z80 based systems with disk drives, and the main inspiration for MS-DOS, was an exception:

"Files in CP/M can be thought of as a sequence of up to 65536 records of 128 bytes each, numbered from 0 through 65535, thus allowing a maximum of 8 megabytes per file. Note, however, that although the records may be considered logically contiguous, they may not be physically contiguous in the disk data area. Internally, all files are divided into 16K byte segments called logical extents, so that counters are easily maintained as 8-bit values. The division into extents is discussed in the paragraphs that follow: however, they are not particularly significant for the programmer, because each extent is automatically accessed in both sequential and random access modes".
