> "Is it worth to include this kid in my skit if it will reduce the revenue by 10%?"

Yeah, that answer is easy—it's not worth it. I'm more interested in what happens if it's accidental.

You mention vlogs. If a "vlogger" is recording themselves walking down the street, and a kid passes into the frame, what do they do? Do they need to scrap the clip and start over? Do they attempt to edit out the kid? Do you just never record in public anymore? Actually, that last option seems the most practical, but it robs the whole piece of its intimacy.

If Youtube elects to take the stricter approach to this, it's going to have unintended consequences that I'm not seeing anyone else talk about right now. I almost wonder if it would be better to remove public commenting entirely.
Huh, interesting. My Credit Union was willing to finance a loan for a new vehicle while waiting for any documentation that the existing auto loan was totalled. They just said "Make sure that you have the settlement check to us within 60 days, please", and that I paid off the remaining $1,200 "in a timely manner".
It means having two X chromosomes is associated with particular behavioral traits, just as it's associated with physiological traits.
The Chipotle example is news because it is precisely not working as intended by the employer - it is preventing Chipotle from mounting a single deep pocketed defense for all of the cases together, and forcing Chipotle to address the claims one by one in small claims arbitration, which will may cost it more than just paying out.
I would gladly remain alive for both of you. Would not be easy but somebody must make a sacrify and do the job.

You haven't been a driver, have you? IMO, I think it was a pretty great incentive to bring up quality of service. Sure, I was never going to make as much in tips as, say, some pretty women, but I don't feel entitled to any of that.
That is really sad
You've probably seen their blog post from other comments, which doesn't directly address the issue. They essentially made a visual editor for developers - this is the crux of the issue. It's easy for developers to add, preview, and edit components without a purpose-built visual editor. They appear to suggest that following some of the "technical lessons" in their blog post is what these devs really need - not a visual editor. Having said that, a visual editor would be great for designers who don't want to get their hands dirty with coding.

You are correct. I apologise for the inadvertence. What I meant to say is that access would only be affected for post-2018 publications. The only comment at that time was one suggesting UC staff would be turning to alternative sources for access. Aside from post-2018 publications, generally they will not need to do that.
Just have someone buy it across the boarder for that

To the average base model buyer a 4 cyl means nothing when it’s paired with a silky smooth transmission, soft handling is a plus, the “tiny” (very crisp and responsive) screen is modern, and I’ll take wireless CarPlay over Tesla's Bluetooth integration any day.

And for the rest of us there’s the 340i which is still only as expensive as what was the only Model 3 you could buy before 2pm today...
Hmm. Not this time, but in 2015 when I bought an Audi, they let me have the vehicle (once I showed I was serious about buying/considering the vehicle, but without money or signature anywhere) from Friday evening til Sunday afternoon. Only thing they said was "Don't drive it to California and back, please" (from Seattle).
Common Lisp seems like a fine choice. Just to add to your Racket comments...

Some of the ways one might do this in Racket are also doable the same in most any Scheme variant/descendant of the last couple decades (and more ways, for Scheme implementations that provide `syntax-case`). So you could write it "in Racket" in such a way that you can also try out performance of the same code with various other Schemes (Gambit, Chicken, Bigloo, etc.).

Some ways in Racket, however, have no equivalent in any other platform right now. For example, having a `#lang quilc` that uses the Racket module&phase system and syntax objects&transformers to turn the language into Racket code behind the scenes (preserving things like source location, and source IDE support), and let you mix&match with modules implemented in other `#lang`s.

An optional addition to this idiomatic syntax transformation-based approach in Racket is that you could could also write the code to make it simultaneously spit out some native/assembler or IR for LLVM, CUDA/OpenCL, C, etc., like a traditional compiler. Perhaps the expand-to-Racket "backend" is initial rapid prototype as you figure out your language's syntax and semantics, and the IR-writing is what you do later. And you can keep both backends, and test the tricky one against the original simple one that's easy to analyze. And your compiler is bootstrappable from a nice language.

(The Racket universe also has some hands-on PL people, who you can still talk with directly on the email lists, thanks to Racket still being a relatively small and strong community. Without the temptations of money confusing things. :) And it has some nice related PL tools, like Redex.)

Eligibility for tax credits is unaffected by witholding rates or how large your end-of-year refund or liability is. And anyone who can afford a Tesla is sure to be paying enough income tax to get the full value of the EV credit.

This is exactly the kind of change that should not get someone hired: a lot of the UX concerns he highlighted are valid, but the net result of his work looked like "complete redesign" to most folks and hides some pretty important information in the process.

The amazing designers that you really do want to find are the ones that will give you the smallest set of improvements that fix UX issues without changing the visual language of the product. If done right, most people wouldn't even notice that the site had changed at all but their daily frustration with being able to find things would decrease.

For example, the nested tab mess can be a real annoyance. It's worse on mobile, too, but the designer managed to tweak the design and completely forget about anything other than desktop dimensions. This is not really forgivable in 2018. The least possible change might be: let's try placing all the tabs together on the screen so that people don't go looking in one list for an item that's in the other. Then, making all the pages have the same navigation group containing both sets of tabs makes sense. At this point, stop!

Certainly, if the company thinks a design looks "dated", it could be updated at some other time, but ideally there would be zero change in information architecture to go along with it. Again, most people wouldn't notice the colors had changed subtly and information would be in exactly the same place it was, but ideally you'd be able to measure things like "number of users reporting that the site gives them eyestrain decreased by XX%".

GitHub certainly isn't perfect, but their UX people do seem to be fairly good. I've been using the product since it looked as it did back in 2013, and without side by side images, I actually couldn't point to any one point in time and say "that's when they redesigned the product and everything changed!".
That's the noise of outside + wind. The materials used for insulating external noise add non negligible weight to the car. You can make it quieter, but at the cost of reducing MPG (or MPAh?) :(
I missed your comment, it's better reasoned than mine and I think I agree with it.

I was just saying on another comment that I think the problem is GitHub, while maybe it shouldn't be, is the de facto project page for many projects, and is a major use-case.

There perhaps can't be a good solution - it's convenient enough that most small developers can't be bothered maintaining two different information sources about their work, and GitHub certainly has no reason to dissuade people from using it that way, but to prioritise the readme would make actually using the site harder.

Just one of those awkward things you live with, perhaps.
Insurance describes properties of the system. A fund is simply an account for settling liabilities. A private insurance company also has a fund for settling liabilities, regulated by law to ensure there are enough assets to cover expected liabilities according to very conservative risk formulas.

An entity that assumes liabilities without maintaining such a conservative fund isn't an insurance company--it's just a business venture (high risk) or a bank (low to moderate risk).

It's not worth nit-picking because Social Security is a hybrid system. Though structured much like a private insurer, it has a significant progressive element (certainly for its time) and is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. in the sense that it only holds U.S. bonds and also in the sense that the national government is expected to either cover funding gaps or adjust the benefits formula. And there are other programs, like SSI, created later and administered by the same departments. It's a complex picture.

But if the question is why isn't Social Security better--more progressive, funded differently, etc--you have to look at the history.
This sounds like a recipe for being sued. You're maintaining a record based on potential libel and slander.
If FB only wants to enable cross-border commerce, they could use an existing open, distributed, independent cryptocurrency.

Instead they're creating their own token.

That tells us all we need to know about whether it will be open, distributed or independent.
I can confirm the same. Had 16k loan that was being paid by Liberty Mutual due to their driver totalling my car. Check was in flight and my Credit Union processed close to a $30k loan for a new car.
Unfortunately, tesla does not provide the paperwork to import the car, so you can't import a us tesla into canada.

Probably to protect that margin your seeing.

If I'm wrong, a friend of mine would be interested :D
Agreed. Their main value is as a deterrent presence, a chilling effect on criminal conduct. They do gather evidence, etc, but the vast majority of their work is driving around and being seen.
Good luck with this, it looks great! Thanks for making it.

Some feedback on the demo:

- There are no tooltips for the little buttons in the blue border-tab on the top right of the selected element. I hate clicking things to find out what they do.

- The first thing I tried to do to adjust the height of the selected box was to drag the bottom border. I wish that would have worked.

- When I adjusted the height in the properties panel to the right, I tried to press the keyboard-up arrow. That should work, just like in chrome devtools.

- When I clicked the up arrow inside the property input to move the height off of `auto`, the first place it went was to 0px. Instead, I think it should have calculated the current height and used that as the starting point.

Sorry I didn't take the time to enter all of these on GitHub.
This is one of the reasons I think anonymity on the Internet is a bad thing. Not that I am saying it should be banned, but it should not be the norm. Much of the toxicity simply would not happen, could be prosecuted, or could be filtered if a "real person" attribute was widely available.
What about logic that favors the aged?

When only intellectual ability and wisdom are the criteria, the aged are chosen because of a record.

Think athletic coaches, generals, admirals, business executives.

Civilizations have universal mechanisms such as incremental promotion and seniority that favor the aged for positions of great responsibility.

You're being downvoted, but honestly this is great advice. I recommend this to anyone that can do this when buying any car - it's so much better to live with the car you're thinking of buying for a day or two to see what it's actually like. Are the seats comfortable on a long drive? How good is the visibility really? How well does it fit in your parking spot/garage? What's it like to drive on your favorite road? You can't really answer any of these questions with a 10 minute test drive with the salesman right next to you.
Any car has a delivery fee, around $500 in my state.
Is the entire question becoming obsolete?

I'm something of a command-line wizard (well, given enough time, if I'm honest! I always have to re-remember things like awk syntax), but in interviews now, no one asks core Linux shell-type questions (or even theoretical kernel-type questions). They primarily ask:

- coding (70+%)

- diagramming infra type questions

- experience with keywords ("CI/CD" and "containerization" being the biggest keywords).

Recently I interviewed with a 'startup' that's in the real estate space and I was told by a manager, after touting my Linux infrastructure skills, "Oh, I don't even care about that anymore. I can teach all there is to now in a couple of days. It's all AWS and tooling here."

This is in the DevOps space.

Sounds like the new generation can give 0 craps about the command-line?

You mean, "If you think you can safely escape".
I’m guessing it’s different in the case where the check has already been cashed and the loan has been secured (ie. they have a title)

In my case they hadn’t secured the loan yet. I doubt they’d be so flexible even if the car had been totaled as I drove it off the lot without the loan being secured.

Now, that's a very interesting response...
So true, I have seen total beginners create nice looking pages with the tools you've mentioned, but if they stay in it for the long haul they find themselves limited by these tools - after which they either gain the technical skills required and move away from the page-builder or hire a dev. That's why I personally won't use such tools. They make it quicker to begin with, but I'll inevitably find myself fighting against the tool.
I had been a consultant for a long time, started my own business, built teams, etc., but mostly independent. I decided to move down towards Silicon Valley & to do that I took a full-time job, rather than consulting.

The problems for me were the chaos and ambiguity, coupled with pressure.

I took on responsibility because there was nobody else to do the work & the work had to be done, but also because that's been my work experience: part of being that Principal Developer or Architect is being the backstop, to catch all the crap that the team can't handle.

I was told to 1) design and execute an ETL migration from the ERP system that they've purchased (and we're already about 6 months late), and 2) do an upgrade on a fragile system that'd been a piece of shit for the past 20 years, and which they expected to get done cleanly in a couple weeks.

I tried.

I worked over a month without rest, fun, friends, blogging, fiction reading, sex, church, or music ... waking in the middle of the night to start again, nap, repeat.

Naturally, while I was doing that, I was feeling like shit. But, I wrote it off as maybe just something off with my diabetes meds (repressing the issues rather than dealing with them). I developed gastritis. I had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, hoping to find some physical reason for this rather than this being me working myself to death.

There were more than one of me, at one point, and I'm still feeling like someone got into my head with a blender and just stirred it all up. For weeks, I was trying to figure out (at home) why the fuck I was so weird at work, and at work I was trying to figure out how to access information that I'd apparently decided I shouldn't have because it would upset me. I had compartmentalized, and created a persona to endure the misery that was work (but, hey: because it was made of me, it had some sense & started wondering why it was a fucking idiot).

I've been out for a month, on medical leave, seeing a therapist. I have chills, night sweats, hot/cold, tingles. My memory wanders. There are huge chunks missing, or ... hiding (and I'm letting them be, in hopes they'll come back). I have random panic attacks and - bonus! - I get one with every single meal, because of course the vagus nerve is in there somewhere, as is gastritis still (healing), and the vagus can do that sort of thing to you.

I get distracted and have to tell myself that, no, I'm not looking for a new job right now, that I need to take the time to heal.

I wake up at 3 in the morning in a panic and have to tell myself that, no, I don't have any work that I should be doing.

To come back from this? Lots of therapy, I fear. And time. And to figure out how not to be a workaholic.

Oh: the projects failed, of course. That's part of it, as well, because naturally I'm a perfectionist and an overachiever and a people-pleaser. So, yeah.

Nobody could have broken me more thoroughly.

Oh. Because I use different mental states to code, and I've built those to be triggered by music, I've helpfully got a whole music collection full of pain and misery, on tap!
Yeah, no one in the computer industry ever does anything to trade one for the other!

Oh, wait, cloud. Server leases. I guess we do it all of the time.
The post was making an example from just finding attack vectors. This is just one of many attack vectors, but it's still a viable vector for attack. What if it's a small business that might have important trade secrets, but doesn't meet the strict requirements for HIPPA/PCI/etc?

It's still one more vector that doesn't need to exist, because there is no reason what-so-ever that you need a Wi-Fi chip inside your light blub!

> It's not difficult. It's just people have been trained to have a strong aversion to learning, where it comes to computers. Everything must be easier to use than your hair dryer, or it's garbage.

Damn right! It's crazy how much people are against learning even a little bit.

I don't know if it's either that greater adoption of computers is exposing this, or if people have actually become less willing to learn, maybe because of what they call "information overload" from consuming so much more information day-by-day through the web.
Thank you! Really nice article btw, I like that you go into that much depth.

I’m going to say something that will likely get me downvoted like crazy here on HN, to salvage some karma let me first say that I love the first amendment and free speech.

Now, as a parent I am absolutely disgusted that there was recently discovered a YouTube “gang” pushing comments that were promoting pedophilia, in plain sight, tagging comments so algorithms could pick them up and other folks could easily find them.

Secondly I am disgusted by the fact that there are videos embedded within Peppa pig videos on YouTube, in the middle, pushing kids to harm themselves and it is impossible to detect them. Google these things they are all real.

Look I get it, I’m a parent, I’m responsible for my child so the YouTube app is gone, she will not get access to it until she’s old enough. That still does not make this stuff ok, these are terrible human beings creating this stuff. I applaud YouTube for stepping in but I still won’t install their app anymore, this does not mean it is ok for their platform to become a great place for that sort of stuff no platform should ever serve that.

When folks on here comment and say one parents voice outnumbers 100 others, why the hell not if this content is targeted at our kids?

Edit:

myself a few days ago.)

That’s part of it, but then you have to account for the role the event horizon plays, and inherently complicated things like wave packets scattering off of it. I can’t pretend to understand the process well enough to talk about it without resorting to heuristics.
This was also my experience. It's a fine language if you can't (or more usually "won't" for spurious reasons) use a garbage collector. However a lot of things are just easier to do using a GC, and I suspect in many, not all, of the use cases of Rust, a GC would be just fine.

(Also I have to rant here a bit: Yes I know the GC you used in Java or Emacs in 1997 was terrible, but modern GCs are very good indeed)
The objective of the comment was not to compare outcomes. I am not sure we even know the eventual purpose or outcome of surveillance because we are still in the nascent stages - it is very much a work in progress.

The objective of the comment was to address the author's deceptive use of the term "pointless".
I think you did a great job at identifying issues, but a poor job at presenting better alternatives. The end result is harder to navigate IMHO.

"Test yourself, see if you can find Releases tab without an icon and if it was harder than before? It wasn’t, was it?"

It looks like at the cell level, they're close to $100/kWh and expect to be there at the pack level by 2020.

> In a rare disclosure of Tesla’s battery prices, Musk said in June that his company’s costs for battery cells—the small cylindrical components of its battery packs—had dropped to $110 per kilowatt hour (kWh) and would reach $100 per kWh by the end of 2018. That compares with an average price of about $127 per kWh industrywide.
Yeah, I was totally with the author for steps 1-7, but I have problems with the last four steps.

Personally, I think step 9 shows exactly where the author is a bit out of touch. He seems to see GitHub as a sort of code social media site where statistics about the repository are just as valuable as the code itself. In some cases (especially open source), I can see that being kind of true, but I think GitHub gets far more use as a private internal collaboration tool in the work place. In that case, the code itself is far more valuable than anything else and deserves the majority of the screen space.
So if they're all in on being all evolutionary and measuring TCO, they mention depreciation on the car's value, right?

Didn't think so.

Or the cost of installing a 240 line to your garage?

Hmmm.
