And it should be far easier to do so with a self-driving car. There will have to be a mechanism for it to pay tolls, parking meters, etc. without human intervention. It's always been funny to me that inside a building on 5th Avenue it costs $1000 sq/ft but you can drive on the street outside that building for free.
No doubt, that's bad design. However, if you try-catch the code and return a custom error message, many frameworks would return a 200 by default if you don't explicitly set the status code.

Plus we can just tax empty vehicles that are driving around.

(similar to how we charge a fee to leave an empty vehicle in a public space)

I think this is one of the few areas where Twitter might be good.
My grandparents had it as well, and I recall a time they called my uncle because they'd gotten themselves to Menards but then couldn't remember where they where and needed him to get them back home.

I wonder if they could have brought a fob that had addresses saved under names ahead of time. Get in the car, tell it to take them home, and it reads the address of "home" off of the fob.

Of course, then there's the issue of payment and them needing to independently keep track of their money, but it's a start maybe?

I am almost never asked for ID when I buy liquor. Furthermore the liquor store does not record my ID after the purchase.
If the Thwaites Glacier melts fully, it would produce a 2ft rise or about 0.6M. If all of the adjacent glaciers it currently prevents the sea from reaching were to then also melt, then you would get an estimated sea level rise of 2.4 additional meters according to NASA.

So it's 200-1000 years for the Thwaites Glacier, and probably several thousand more for the rest of them assuming some other warming effect doesn't dramatically result in the speed up of glacial melt.

"About the size of Florida, Thwaites Glacier is currently responsible for approximately 4 percent of global sea level rise. It holds enough ice to raise the world ocean a little over 2 feet (65 centimeters) and backstops neighboring glaciers that would raise sea levels an additional 8 feet (2.4 meters) if all the ice were lost"
You assume I may like countries. I'm not against the concept of people freely associating around political systems they like.

However, I do not like the concept of imaginal lines drawn on a map to give advantage to some people who had a lucky birth.

It is no better than a caste system or nobility in Europe.

Technically the girl is (was at the time) a minor/underage:

so it is possible that they had a case about a minor that escaped her family (or that was kidnapped, etc.).
I recently came across this cool DYI laptop that is in the works:

That's really weird. Over here, the ING has quite stringent password demands, and require a password change every 6 months. Furthermore, 2 factor authentication via phone is required for every transaction.
For those interested in why - Japan always had very high tariffs on cheese (40% on WTO, 37.5% on EU). In comparison, the US has a general tariff of 10% on cheese, with many exceptions making it 0%.

http://www.customs.go.jp/english/tariff/2019_2/data/e_04.htm

https://hts.usitc.gov/?query=cheese

Similarly high tariffs across the board on most imports has been the norm in Japan for decades, with many agricultural products also having quota limits. This led to potato shortages in 2017.

Free trade is great when applied evenly. If it takes reciprocative pressure from the US to cause others think differently and change the status quo, so be it.
Ask HN: Why can't we uninstall multiple apps at once on any OS?
I have tried uninstalling multiple projects on Windows and Android. It only allows one uninstall at a time. Why so? Can't there be parallel processing for uninstall?
For a city like SF, probably more illustrative to show how many addicts there are for each programmer or Tesla.
I'm sorry, but how is your website worth $4000? It's a static Jekyll website. This website is 3 to 10 man hours of work. Are you seriously paying people $500/hr to `gem install jekyll` and pick a theme for you?

Honest question, because I'm either missing something here, or you're throwing money out the window and in which case: message me about developing something for you.
It's almost like we need regulations to counteract what are otherwise inevitable consequences of profit maximization!
It's even worse than that. The toggle they make you turn on in order to save an address in Maps is "Web and App Activity". This includes your search history, app activity (including third party, non Google apps) and most worryingly your location history.

So in order to have my home address saved in Google Maps, I have to let Google monitor my location 24/7, see how often I use my banking app, and which medical complaints I've been searching recently. This seems pretty excessive and I think it's designed to be so (as the article linked above suggests).

I appreciate the services Google provides but the cost is becoming excessive. A paid option (with everything enabled and no tracking at all) or at least more granular permissions seem like the bare minimum as people become more privacy conscious.

Instead of annoying the seals away from the humans, they should do something to annoy the humans away from the seals. The seals deserve the beach, and the humans do not. The humans are too stupid to keep their own government running, and obviously the seals do not have this organizational problem.
How will the newspaper companies pay their writers and website developers then? If their English majors were paid any less, they’d be on food stamps like most of Walmart’s employees.
Off topic but curious - How do you find events?
You can presumably still keep your own car even if everyone else is renting one for each single trip. It won't make sense financially, but it won't be more expensive than today. It will be more clearly a leisure expense, as in, you'll know which part is your transportation cost and which part is the extra you choose to pay for keeping your junk and having the filth be your own. Who knows, it may be a fairly popular alternative. I certainly value those things, just not enough to pay thousands of dollars extra for them.
Until they run out of fuel. Then you have them pay more for that as well.
Review of effects of cognitive biases on interpretation of rule-based ML models
> That said, there might be better ways of spending that money than on this.

True, but there are also much worse ways you could spend this money, like building a useless wall to throw out a completely random example.
Oh, I didn't know that, thanks for the clarification.

I mostly work with C++, Python and Node in my day to day, so my assumptions are biased.
This! I call this following a "sequence" of tasks, and whenever I get distracted -which happens a lot as I have ADHD-, the phrase "follow the sequence" pops up in my head (sometimes also using alarms on the phone), then I do whatever task/ritual I usually do at that time of the day. I have this list in the Notes app, so whenever I'm lost or overwhelmed on what to do next, I just check the phone. It works to clear my anxiety too.
Yea definitely don't take that as me insinuating anything about ProtonVPN. However _absolutely_ take that as me saying "just because you're behind [insert VPN name], doesn't mean someone can't derive your actual IP" (however that may happen). There are companies that sell this service. Again, I specifically mention this because this is how we at [large, known ad tech company] deal with user VPN traffic

Ask HN: Has anyone greatly reduced their OCD?
Hello HN!

I'm working on a project that helps people suffering from OCD. To do this, I'm sending out interview questions to people that have reduced/eliminated their OCD. I will tease out the patterns in this data to highlight the most effective approaches and the specifics behind them. This way, people still suffering from OCD can treat themselves faster and more effectively.

If you have successfully reduced/eliminated your OCD symptoms and are willing to answer a few questions about the specific approaches you took, please email me at arjun.madgavkar@gmail.com.

If you're interested in hearing more about the project, feel free to email me as well.

Thanks!

I imagine that on a more free market economy probably Ubers would have QR codes, username handles, or some other way for you to just scan your phone (or type a code) near the door of the ride-sharing vehicle and the driver agree to the ride in the spot. This would be very nice to reduce queues and traffic at airports or other agglomeration places. It just doesn't make sense to wait 5-10min at a large airport like SFO, JFK, LAX, or ATL for a Uber ride while you see just many people being dropped off in front of you. This only happens thanks to the taxi monopoly.

It'd be better for everyone if you could just walk in any car in these scenarios.

It is a city, by literally all definitions. Nearly 900,000 people live here, making it the second densest city in the United States. So there's a lot here to be found if you bother to look for it, or just generally know how to navigate a city.

Perhaps if you are coming here to conduct commerce and nothing else it will just feel like... a place to conduct commerce! But that's something you can say about every financial district in the world. The places that have "soul" are almost never the places dominated by office towers.

Don't get me wrong, SF has many, many serious problems. Not being a city is not among them.

And, welcome to the UK! We only had about three or four minutes warning time available, so when the sirens went off, that was all the time the population had to prepare/shelter, and obviously the authorities also only had that amount of time to decide on a response... This includes getting all your bomber aeroplanes started up, launched and in the air sufficiently far from the airfield to escape the blast radius of the weapons (probably Megaton range) used to destroy it!
Just photons zipping around in the far far future.
Using the roads is not free in the slightest!

There may be no fee to access (most of them) per use but you need to pay for a vehicle, jump through some expensive regulatory compliance hoops (insurance, registration, inspection/emissions if applicable in your state) and then pay for consumables (primarily fuel but also tires) and maintenance.

Congestion also imparts a cost though it is not directly monetary (time valuable, all else being equal people will choose the faster option).

If alternate forms of transit (subway, bus) are available people will naturally load balance to them based on their situation.

If you want to reduce road congestion without making people's lives worse then make public transit better and more available. Don't arbitrarily increase the price of the roads. Tolling all the roads to decrease usage is no different than a fuel shortage that drives up prices (something we can all agree is not good for anyone). Too many people depend on private cars for increasing cost to be a good strategy.
Basically yeah. You're on the right track. It will depend on your product. Here are three example methods I have personally used:

e.g. If you're starting a consultancy/dev shop, do you have people already trying to get you to do work for them or complaining to you about difficulties finding good freelancers? If so, there is clear demand for your specific services.

e.g. One of my most successful side projects was a web browser for the Roku that I developed after reading a bunch of people complaining there was no web browser in the Roku forums. The browser went on to get over 500k active installs (there are ~10mm active Roku devices).

e.g. Another popular way to do it that works great for local businesses (or SEO-based businesses like OP's Keto business) is to use the Google keyword research tool and see what sort of traffic your keywords get and how much people are paying for clicks on those keywords. If it costs a lot to buy search ads, the niche is likely too competitive.
Microsoft Azure data deleted because of DNS outage
Access to transit options is usually factored into the taxable value of building space. If the city isn't directing a portion of the taxes collected to maintain those transit options, that's the fault of the city. There's already gas and other assorted taxes that go into the roads, as well as parking meters and such.

The idea that "driving on the street" is free simply doesn't hold.
While the user might have issues (like cookies and other features) - I can guarantee you Facebook does all kinds of creepy stuff to identify who you are. Worse yet, once they think they've successfully identified you - they share your details with who they think you are.
Personal example:

Recently I wanted to have a look at a few ex coworker profiles (who are not my friends on FB). I didn't want to use my personal account because then it suggests me to them (something I wanted to avoid, as I'd not been in touch with them for almost a decade).

1. I created a VM (Ubuntu 18.04 + Firefox + uBlock -> enabled everything in uBlock).

2. Tried to create an Fb account -> asks for phone number. I didn't want to be identified so I could not continue.

3. Tried another way to create a new account -> success.

4. Fb obviously tried to figure out who I am -> was unable to do so at that point -> Forced me to post a picture of myself (and suspended my account until I did and they verified it).

5. Posted a made up picture and got past the first hurdle

6. Fb asked me for a phone number -> Logged out and used another means to log in.

7. Fb locked my account and asked for another picture (did similar in Step 5 once again)

8. Looked up my ex co-workers.

9. Until now, I've not been identified, I looked up a friend's profile (this friend is also my personal friend on Fb). FB immediately identified me and showed up my entire friends list as suggested friends).

10. I immediately tried to delete that profile (took 30+ days and they asked for Govt ID).

I've had multiple fake FB accounts, and FB's fingerprinting and data sharing is insanely crazy - I recently logged out of one my fake accounts on iOS via Safari Incognito (no FB app, Safari is always used as incognito) - it showed my personal phone number in the log in field.
