If a critical mass of individuals migrate to a network which replicates the key functionality of the web but is designed with privacy and decentralization at the core, I believe it would be safe to say that it's not in the hands of gov, big corps, or any individual.
Thanks for the suggestion! This is on our product roadmap.

One way to track users is also to specify approve/reject redirect urls with random tokens (though we agree that private metadata is more ergonomic in this case).
Makes sense. I think this is a great way to slam Ceres into Mars and cut this whole terraforming thing to the chase.

> Pop ups are a code smell. They mean your application does not correctly match user intent with the action so badly you had to specifically get your user to tell you what they meant to do.

Not a rule. Do you really want undoable actions like "Delete" to just delete in a touch operated interface?
If it's a routine maintenance issue then yes but if they're trying to find a design defect then you may not be safer at all. I don't blame people for avoiding them for the time being.
Damn that's sad. I have found that if you keep headphones at the same volume, your hearing does not suffer. Always fix the noise isolation of the headphones or change your surroundings before just turning up the volume.
is it a misprint? 100%?

"100x" is laughable.
Very well said. I've often had trouble putting into words the exact sentiment you just described.

I straddle the communities of tech/startups an the "digital nomad" world, and feel similarly when I go to dense nomad hubs (particularly Chiang Mai).

Too much of one thing gets old really fast.
I don't see why you'd think I don't support that. It's pretty much my point.
Do you currently just use level 1 charging, or not at all?

Most EVs charge at about 3mph from L1, and if you're on-plug for 10 hours overnight, hey, that's longer than a lot of people commute in a day. Might be able to keep your SoC pretty high with that alone.

Of course L1 is too slow to be useful for sharing, but for a resident it often works out quite well.

> any stage of the request or the response L4-L7 at FPGA speeds

I also work at F5, and used to work on the FPGA. This is unfortunately not true for TCL iRules. The FPGA basically only operates on L2-4, L7 is all software.

There was some talk about doing L7/iRules in an FPGA but prototypes never produced compelling enough performance gains to make it worth it.

People who are saying Rubin should be rewarded for creating Android ... he was, many times over. He worked at Google for almost a decade, I guarantee that he vested a ton of GSU’s. Also, Google bought his company, Danger, which is how he got there in the first place, so he got a big payday for that.

Here’s more detail on how the whole thing shook out. Basically, he used the $150MM grant as a bargaining chip to settle for $90MM in return for resigning. This award was only given when he was already under investigation for misconduct - if this was really a reward for creating Android, Page could have handed it to him any time in the other 8.5 years that he worked at Google.

Not so much for free labor but to drive adoption. Lots of people use ES for free. When that use starts to scale, most folks end up needing to pay ES for enterprise critical features or support.

Agreed. I don’t need 1TB of space and I definitely don’t want to pay $10 a month. I’d upgrade for $2 or $3 for 100GB and unlimited devices.
I don't think that's actually rational, in the sense of minimizing loss of life. If you ground all these planes worldwide, what's going to happen? Either people will take older planes, which are in worse condition, or they'll take smaller planes / alternative routes, which are more dangerous, or they'll take cars, which are much more deadly.

Grounding the planes only guarantees saving lives if people stay at home instead, which isn't going to happen. If Boeing legitimately believes these planes are still no riskier than older ones (and it sounds like they do and that they have a reason for that belief), they're saving lives by keeping them in the air.

In german we even have a word for this: Verschlimmbessern [1]

Tim Berners-Lee is partly to blame, his W3C squandered all of its authority, partly through incompetence and partly through bureaucracy and corruption, and now it has little leverage to affect change.
We went to an early Sunday matinee of a kids movie and the sound was unnaturally loud so we asked the attendant and they said: "Oh yeah, we had it turned up for Captain Marvel last night. We'll go turn it down."

So, at least anecdotally you're not wrong about the superhero and big-budget action movies being louder.
Astranis (YC W16) is hiring electrical engineers to build cutting-edge satellites
> I built a front end serverless analytics pipeline from scratch with AWS that handles 30M events/mo. I've demonstrably grown revenue and margins in multiple contexts with my data products

When I'm hiring I care most about wins. These are wins. When I read 30M events / month I want to hear more.

The rest is fluff IMO and things that I'd expect you to play around with while you're self learning. Also, most hiring managers don't care about what you did 10 years ago in sales if you're applying for a data science role. It might be icing on the cake you can share if you get into a conversation about sales or marketing, but otherwise it can feel off topic.

I'd slim down your resume to focus on these two wins (plus any recent experience building or leading teams) and stay later focused on recent data science related work in production. That sounds like a good enough resume to get an interview at most companies. Good luck!
For the majority of EV owners who do have home chargers, the "time you spend involved in charging" is about 10 seconds to plug in when you park at night, and 10 seconds to unplug and stow the cord the following morning. That's less time than you spend at the gas pump.

This also applies to folks who can charge at work. Charge speed does not matter if charging happens while you're inside doing something else for several hours.
I recommend cardio. You can't be depressed or anxious if you are at high heart bpm.

Why do people forget RSS?

RSS was awesome. RSS was "feeds" but in your own hands and under your own control.

Of course, it was doomed since it couldn't be monetized.
Exactly my point -- we've just seen 346 people killed by (presumably) an anti-stall system -- when it's been a decade since we've had the problem this system is meant to prevent.
Anecdotally, I was speaking to a friend who has a pilot's license, and his thought was that a well-trained pilot should know how to adjust due to the failure, but the system seemed counter-intuitive. I think it does at the very least beg the question of whether this feature has already caused more problems than it would have likely prevented. Would commercial pilots have to report when a plane stalls/would the airline keep track of such data?
This is a paid advertisement. More like if a newspaper refused to run an ad encouraging you to boycott the newspaper. Which they probably would. A good newspaper would then report on the refusal to run the ad, and the recriminations that followed.
I think they could go with a copyleft license. Or they should just announce that they are no longer committed to open source.
Many chargers have wifi or bluetooth connectivity. Seems to me that there's an obvious integration here. Visitor's phone and charger authenticate each other, charging starts.

OpenEVSE could be a perfect platform for prototyping this. Our hackerspace has one on the wall right now, and we're adding another because so many members drive EVs now.
Seems like more work to apply and mentor a technical writer than just writing the docs...

Yeah, it is tough to assess without knowing the likeliness of a stall, and the likeliness a stall causes a crash. Otherwise, we run into the problem of having such a small sample size.
I wish I built this. this is a great idea. it's simple and useful it's something I could have built myself in a couple of weeks and it aggregates a lot of business useful functionality into one place. I'm putting this in my list of businesses that are good ideas because they factor out internal projects repeated across many companies.

Reading the comments here it seems a lot of people are triggered. instead of acknowledging the idea is good and they wish they had build at themselves, they are in denial dismissing it's utility by saying it won't work as a business, or they could build it internally. I say this in the Spirit of a good hn comment is something we can learn from and I believe people can learn from examining their own reactions. it seems the denial and dismissal simply serves to make one feel better about the realisation that they missed the chance to build this even though they could have and it is a good idea. so instead of facing that feeling and learning something useful they "alter reality" by downplaying the idea is good to limit the pain.

my point is that that's not a very useful response because it neutralizes the opportunity that could be something to learn from. and I guess if you do this pattern of behaviour enough then, you stop yourself learning many times miss the chance to create things you want and maybe get addicted to this reaction of altering reality to feel better rather than learning something to get a result.

imho the more interesting cryptopgraphic proof would be proof of address or bounding box. I feel that if you allowed third-parties to pay you for supporting a validation of locality via cryptographic features sent in postcard, then the rails would come off what was possible with digital systems. Knowing location will be increasingly powerful imho. Our opinions count most in a local spaces, at least with city-building. And I feel that third parties would be willing to fund the main cost of postage, if it allowed them to be assured of certain geographic bounds of users.

In order to cheat that system, people would need to engage in mail fraud or buy a PO box.

Happy to discuss, chris. Sidewalk Labs is setting up camp in Toronto, and I was speaking about the above at a local event, and they were really interested in the concept. I had a call with their head of identity, but was disappointed that he couldn't say anything of substance on _why_ it was relevant to SL efforts, at least not without my signing an NDA.

The USA is a bankrupt warmongering police state now.

The US used to love personal responsibility, freedom, morality, peace, and balanced budgets.

Americans are now embracing welfare, tyranny, immorality, war, and debt.

How could any American hate free speech, religious freedom, gun rights, freedom from unconstitutional searches and seizures, the right to silence, and the freedom from torture and extrajudicial assassination?

How could any American go through life without hearing about living in a free country, the Bill of Rights, Independence Day, the land of the free, and the Statue of Liberty at least once?

Why did Americans fight for freedom against the British and Hitler just to become a police state?

Do TSA agents who unconstitutionally grope, CIA agents who torture, NSA employees who wiretap, soldiers who carry out wars, movie stars who distract and brainwash, politicians who write laws enslaving Americans, reporters who push tyranny, elites who support the police state, voters, and taxpayers feel any guilt at all?

Do police officers who enforce unconstitutional laws, conduct checkpoints, kill unarmed Americans, seize property, confiscate guns, arrest protesters, smokers, drug users, gun owners, beggars, photographers, bank customers, farmers, dog owners, straw users, and business people say that they are not responsible for turning the US into a police state because they are just following orders?

Do Americans who love tyranny feel like traitors?

Do freedom loving patriots who stay silent and do nothing while the US collapses feel like they can take the moral high ground?
Considering we have had an entirely new paradigm shift in front end development, I have yet to see anything that has blown my mind for usability or UI. Usually it's the same site and design except now it jiggles about as stuff loads asynchronously or repaints. I see way more degradations than I do improvements.

Except that the term 'social justice bandwagon' is perfectly apt in the context of the article.

It's at the very premise of the argument.

Articles declaring that 'science indicates sexes are the same and anyone who hints otherwise is sexist' are taken at face value and published in the Guardian, CNN etc..

Contrasting opinions hardly exist in the mainstream.

The author is not trying to create a culture war, they are trying to negate it.

This is not a 'brains are the same' vs 'brains are different' argument. This is a 'let's look at the material evidence' argument. The brain same/different is just an example.
Yes, I use Google and the Internet. What's the problem?

> (40 food pills per meal x 8 meals = 320 food pills a day)

That's quite a large amount of pills to take everyday. Did you manufacture these pills? If not, where did you buy them or acquire them?

Did you think about doing an analysis based on the time you spent cooking before + cost of food vs cost of the pills?

I actually wouldn't hesitate to give this a shot. I am trying to lose weight and don't have time in the day to meal-prep, workout etc and I would try this, see what the results are.
I think Eben, rms, et al are 100% right when they observe that 'open source' hides the actual, important point -- even if the person you're talking to doesn't want to talk about freedom(s).

You used the phrase 'open source' 9 times in your three paragraphs, but didn't mention 'free' or 'freedom'. (Hmm, the F in FOSS may count as one veiled instance.)

Talking in terms of freedom for people to use free software however they want makes more sense than trying to dance through the forest of varyingly-free 'open source' licences.
