How so? There was this reddit comment where someone listed all the ridiculous parking requirements they impose that torpedos apartment projects, regardless of how close to downtown or transit they are.

This is unhelpful. The whole point of the article is that both of those middle columns are also USB 3.2, i.e. you have this:

* USB 3.2 Gen 1 5 Gbps (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 1) (formerly USB 3.0)

* USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 2)

* USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps

Literally everyone that came up with this ridiculous naming scheme and literally everyone who approved it should never be allowed to participate in a working group ever again. This level of incompetency is just absurd. These people cannot be allowed to pollute critical standards with their terrible ideas.
Most people are only going to ever buy one or two things that are important enough to them to need to be thoroughly comparison-shopped. If there was a Consumer Reports-alike where I could pay "per report" (like paying for investment news "per report"), I'd pay. But I wouldn't subscribe.
> Franchise fees also benefits the taxi companies.

In the presence of a substitute service not subject to them, they do not.

Actually, since there seems to be both a non-automatic approval process and a franchise fee, they don't really even without such competition; the approval process shields them from competition, the franchise fee is a pure cost. (Of course, there is a linkage between the two, but as long as the process is in place, incumbent taxi firms benefit from minimizing the fee.)
The alternative: Target.com. Once you try it, you’ll never go back. Amazon is still where I buy a wireless mouse, or a phone holder for my car, but big electronics come from B&H or Newegg, diapers and kids toys and baby food comes from Target.

i don't think it matters because they __did__ fix the problem. maybe that would have been a problem in the past before the problem became acknowledged, but the thing is, that isn't the case anymore and so to me it really doesn't matter. but even if it did matter, i still probably wouldn't care. sometimes people need convincing to do a thing and when it comes to presenting a consistent and positive image to others, i think it's quite a generally good thing if someone is responsive to the criticism of others and actually acts on it. maybe they should have fixed it before of their own accord. but maybe before they didn't see the issue that others saw. people aren't perfect any they make mistakes. constantly.
It doesn't. I stopped using it when one of their default lists started blocking Microsoft.com. I get some people don't like Ms, but that kind of default is just plain negligent. Blocking updates silently is never ok in my book.
Does anyone know any alternative projects (that are still dns based)? I don't need all the web interface parts. I think I just want a good, recent dnsmasq config. If it does new crypto dns stuff, that'd be cool too. I'm not up to date.
You're entitled to your compensation because someone of your skill level is needed to get the job you do done. Yes, others may suffer more but the result is what creates value, and the results of their work are less than that of yours. And if your work required more suffering, it would probably pay more too.

Basically, your compensation is based on the face-value of the results of your work, as well as the difficulty necessary in order to be capable of doing such work. So for other positions that require more work-per-hour, they get less usually because a greater population is capable of that same work. (and so, someone somewhere can be found to do it cheaper)

I think that seems to be missed a lot in discussions of this nature, the value of training and the scale of populations with given skills and how more training generally means less people and therefore less who are desperate and will take a lower than standard wage. (while with unskilled positions, it's automatically a race to the minimum)

> It comes down to risk, cost, reward.

In theory I agree that there are trade offs like this, but in practice I rarely see them being applied properly. A small startup up using electron to build a cross platform app for instance, I can see how that's a good trade off, but then you see multi-billion dollar companies with hundreds of devs and millions of users building electron apps when they can easily dedicate the resource for native ones.

Security tends to be similar, giant (non-tech) companies with lots of important data are the ones that optimize for cost the most and don't care about the risk.
What about devices that don't have interet access ?

This seems like a very bad idea, the two technologies don't move at the same speed and are totally unrelated. I think it would be even more confusing for consumers.
The discussion, since about 5 posts up, has been about what is and is not a part of "stand your ground" - carjacking is only vaguely, incidentally relevant anymore.

Yes, in a carjacking, the victim likely has reason to fear for their life. At some point, that ceases to be true. Actions taken after that point (... in those circumstances where actions can be taken by the victim after that point) are what was under discussion.

(I did read Animats' "If you shot someone trying to steal your car [...]" as referring to more general auto-theft - if it was meant to refer specifically to car-jacking then amend my earlier comment to "That's still at least a question of defense of property [...]")

My personal theory is that they are doing this very deliberately... they view “selling stuff” as a lousy business and AWS as the real business, and are just maximizing short term retail profits to invest in AWS.
As a young adult, I studied in a country (had a flatshare there) and took the train (2hrs) at the weekend and during the holidays to stay with my parents.
I guess lots of people close to borders know family situations like that (parents, partners).

Now, I have a job with 90% business travel between two countries (but same cities). Have small apartments in both. It is just more economical and comfortable that hotel room living.

There are also often reasons not to completely move to a country, even if it's close (different tax situation, having to switch social security systems which affects your retirement, wanting to stay inside a certain social security systems which requires a place of residence..)

I love Singapore. My wife and I go through Singapore when flying to Europe (from Australia) and usually stay 1-2 nights. We'll do the same again on the way back.

It's super clean, well run, the public transport makes every other country look like a joke, the food is amazing, the laws are tied meaning it's a super safe place to live and wonder around, and everyone is lovely. We're considering a year of living there (and bracing ourselves for how expensive it is.)

Ask HN: What do you look for in a new job?
The question I receive most when job hunting is a take on "what are you most looking for in a new job?". As for myself, the answer has always been a solid team. This is such a big aspect that I'm willing to sacrifice on other compensation benefits just to work with great people.

How does HN answer this question? What aspects of a job do you consider valuable?

Ah, good to know, so you dump liability on the parent(s) heads, which is probably where it belongs anyway. I'm glad you aren't trying to do that yourself, especially remotely!

I'd be very surprised if a public school in the USA didn't offer such things, but I'm sure there is some school somewhere that exists just to prove me wrong! :). But I imagine it's a rare exception. Obviously charter schools and private schools are an entirely different mess, and I can't comment on them.

I know when I was a student (in a 80% people of color school) I had teachers sponsor my random events and things all the time, and it wasn't overly hard. You just have to have a good relationship with A teacher. I found my support in the "technology" dept, i.e. VICA and the other vocational groups. Even though nobody in that dept. did anything with computers, they didn't stop me from doing whatever I wanted. :)

Of course we never phrased the playing games event as playing games it was ... exploring 3d virtual worlds.. I believe we called it. :)

I happen to work in public education (90+% free/reduced lunch, so not a well off area) and I know the people that do the student finance stuff at the district level, they never say no, they just crunch the paperwork. I do know we sponsor all sorts of random stuff, including out of country travel for random things. So if a no is happening in "my" public schools, it must be at the local school/teacher level. But I agree I'm sure it happens. I'll have to go poke at them about that, see what I can do to help them get the local teachers/schools to say yes more often.

Public libraries are also a great way to get someone else to handle all the evil paperwork, but it's generally harder to get them to commit as they are always over-worked and not generally focused on school aged children, but if you happen to get lucky and can convince them your event/etc fits in with whatever their public outreach goals happen to be at the moment, they will do all the heavy lifting for you. Otherwise you can just rent out their space for your event (usually very cheaply) using something like what you do. Schools also rent space very cheaply, usually.
Even then, the same phenomenon means that the dominant source of damage to those streets is the delivery vehicles; smaller cars still cause a disproportionately small fraction of the damage and are overpaying via taxes. Ubers are not externalizing here.

Mostly because the dozen-or-so data-analytics services that AWS provides are all architecturally of the "scratching-your-own-novel-itch" shape rather than the "best-practices, well-known-standard" or "bug-for-bug-clone-of-the-thing-some-other-cloud-vendor-is-doing" shape. Amazon built DynamoDB, acquired Redshift, etc. to use them.
Sure, but the only reason I mentioned Go is because Russ Cox literally wrote the paper on this problem and also happened to write the Go regex library (as well as a large part of Go itself). I wrote an FSA-based regex implementation in Python some years ago[1] as a learning experience, but that's not really relevant to someone asking "what is a pathological regex".

I'm not usually an advocate of icons, but in that case, an icon of a cart would still be preferable. "Korb" looks like I can buy a basket and "Wagen" alone usually means car. These meanings may not even make sense in the specific context, but with Kruger's Fact of Life #1 in mind ("We don’t read pages. We scan them."), the first connotation is actually what matters.

You need to take a historical look at how technology is developed. Technology requires huge investments by a well maintained and organized society. For example, US government invested for 30+ years in computers before they became a mainstream product.

What happens when you take away organized human life (like a relatively well functioning government)? You won't get any technological improvement.

Technological improvement requires stable societies and climate change will disrupt all societies on earth. It's even completely plausible that organized human life won't be possible if we don't tackle climate change now.

So any hope of developing the technology you are talking about rests on huge efforts to solve the climate problem.

This is an argument towards rebranding to NEW USB 4! Which is ironically what we want at this point. There's a deranged lunatic in

Exactly. I could understand if the tax were tailored to the ostensible goals:

- No Uber taxes outside of rush hour, since they're not contributing to congestion then.

- Money is specially allocated to mass transit projects and subsidies for Uber pools/Lyft lines at rush hour where they are carrying multiple passengers.

But of course, that's not the proposal, it's just another golden goose.

From what I've been able to find, not even that is reliably true. Looks like the older connectors can be labeled USB 3.2 as long as they use the "x1" scheme in the label and are capable of reaching the speed of that scheme.

Thunderbolt is a horrendous piece of garbage. Not just in the sense of "we're making an internal bus external before ensuring security", but just in what it actually is:

https://twitter.com/whitequark/status/1097777102563074048

> Thunderbolt, uh, does not expose PCIe lanes directly. Thunderbolt is an MPLS-like packet switching network that can encapsulate PCIe TLPs over a PHY and MAC without a spec, chips without documentation, and software with barely any support. […] Ah, and let's not forget that the absurdly complicated MPLS-like system with topology written in EEPROMs in every node that, as far as I can tell, you have to bitbang via the half-configured packet path (what the actual fuck?), well, it's very general. You can describe a lot of different networks in it. But of course the Linux driver has two or three hardcoded ones, including indexes into the EEPROMs on the way, that it recognizes and loads a hardcoded configuration for. The entire thing is made -even worse than USB-, which is an achievement.

It pains me to hear people complaining about the lack of Thunderbolt in AMD Ryzen Mobile laptops, and wishing for it in the next generation now that the spec is no longer Intel-exclusive in some way. Lack of Thunderbolt is a feature.
This is a great idea! It's honestly long overdue
I mean, sometimes, it's justified. Should a negative review about a wireless-charging bug in a phone stick around once the manufacturer pushes out an update to the firmware that makes the bug go away?

This is why app stores only show reviews/scores for the current version of the app. There's no such thing as "versions" of a product, though. (Or, well, there are product revisions with distinct UPC codes, but an OTA firmware update doesn't qualify as one, and yet should be a new "version" for the purposes of reviews.)
> What people have wished for, since... oh, 2001 or so, is the ability to write web-app frontends without needing to grok and deal with the awful runtime semantics of Javascript

It was so even before 2001. Consider why the <script> element as the "type" attribute to begin with (and why it had the "language" attribute originally, before "type"). As I recall, W3C specs from that era gave examples such as Tcl! On Windows, you could use anything that implemented Active Scripting APIs - e.g. Perl. JS just happened to be the one that everybody had, because it was the first, and so it became the common denominator, to the detriment of the industry.
How I Prepared My Finances Before Bootstrapping
If you look at the results of welfare programs, it would be hard to argue that they reduce crime. Crime isn't just about subsistence money. For a certain segment of the population, it's the only way to make significant amounts of money and also to get some sort of respect, status and power.

If criminals could just be educated and get jobs and become ordinary members of society, then our social programs would work. They don't, because from a sober perspective, if you're already a criminal (or so inclined), then crime is more attractive and ordinary members of society appear as the powerless suckers they really are.
