I always cringe when one of these "we could have been driving electric cars" articles shows up. Cars are not bread and the vast vast majority of the planet's population (who even own a car) don't just go around shopping for new cars. It's going to take DECADES before electric cars have a significant impact on the climate change. That is an economic reality. (Not to mention that electric cars are only now starting to barely match gasoline cars in terms of usability and range.)
Unfortunately you seem to be in the minority. People are still happily buying VW.

Why did this drop from #1 to #89 in a few seconds? That was strange.
There are many other factors that can come into play. It is simply incorrect to draw the conclusions you do.

One example is earning prospects, which might matter more for men than for women. Personally, I was torn between studying maths and film making, for example. I decided to go for maths because of the better money making prospects (I thought), thinking I could still go into film making later.

If you don't worry about income prospects, maybe you are more likely to choose English literature of the 16th century over engineering.

Just one example.

I've been taking finasteride for nearly a decade. No side effects for me and costs $40 a year. Haven't lost an inch of hairline since I started. My hairline is frozen at mild temple recession that looks "age appropriate" now that I'm older.

Yes I do have to keep taking it but I'm fine with that. Can't even imagine being completely bald at 30 which I would be if I hadn't started it young
That's wrong though, the ICANN sees the whole domain, dissidents.github.io and replies with "I don't know, but ask the owner of .IO which is xx.xx.xx.xx"

Well, unless the servers implement https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7816, which is experimental and quite recent.

Unbound seems to support it, which is great (and that makes you right, actually, if the user installs this software). I don't know for others.
If hiring was the issue, there would have to be a pool of IT women who can't find a job. I don't think such a pool exists.
The commercial option tends to look like the better option at first, because companies invest a lot of money upfront to polish the product and buy market share by giving the product away.

Later, when the company is fully grown, customers are locked-in, and investors want to cash out, the commercial option often becomes the worse option.
Ok, then let me ask differently: if upper management in all companies were mostly women, and they would justify this fact with the argument that they are naturally better with people, would it be ok for you if these women would prefer other women for open manager positions?

Nobody argues against letting people make their own choices. This whole discussion is about equal opportunities. And it starts in kindergarten, not with grown-ups

From an engineering perspective, cars and trucks aren’t that heavy, because their weight is spread over a large area, and they can’t squish together like humans.

Roughly, you’re not going to get over 60psf with vehicle traffic or storage.

People jammed together can be 200psf, as can library stacks, and indoor pools are potentially even worse.
> It's known that CARB ordered the research due to discrepancies in US v EU numbers—but someone pushed them to look at the numbers closely.

This is revealed in these quotes from the article:

German and his colleagues at the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) in the US just wanted to tie up the last loose ends in a big report, and thought the research would give them something positive to say about diesel.
...
German’s group also forwarded the findings to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California’s Air Resources Board (Carb). “We were definitely scared. We wanted EPA and Carb to take over.”
A vast superficial knowledge, along with a good memory, the ability of making meaningful connections between far away domains is a scarcely distributed skillset and a quite valuable one in today's Western world.

In the Middle East there is absolutely societal pressure against women, I’m only saying there’s none of that in the West.

I’ve lived in Jordan, one of the freest and most tolerant countries in the region and I could definitely imagine that women would like to avoid atudying with men.

https://drone.io is open-source and works very well.

I personally can't stand Gitlab's interface and general slowness.

sh.rt (which kind of became https://sourcehut.org) looks much better but it looks like you need to be logged in to see most of the content.

About abuse on Github, I only had issues with posting email addresses in public gists (even if they are public ones), and saw repo owners editing other people's comments, which should not be a thing.

About Github's source code, it's not open-source but you can host it with Github Enterprise and actually look at the source code (it's a very simple encryption of the source code as far as I remember).

Anyway, since Microsoft's acquisition of Github I started to worry of the general direction Github is going to but so far they haven't messed up too much IMHO.
Speaking of Tarantino and low budgets, Tarantino apprentice (I say this tongue-in-cheek) Robert Rodriguez did his first feature film El Mariachi on a $10k budget.

I distinctly recall that he for instance had only one guitar case on hand, so if you pay close attention, you'll notice that our protagonist (an innocent mariachi with a guitar in his case) and the bad guys chasing him (sporting lots of guns in their case) use the same guitar case! Now that's props on the cheap...

"just a story" is still important if there's a lesson to learn. Whether we're discussing Aesop's fables or religion, there are a lot of stories with real-life application.

Reading the article made me feel deflated, powerless about the spread of disinformation. But mindcrime's top-level comment told me what to do (risk my life to help others), and the story made me imagine a situation when I could do that. Even though I now know the story isn't true, the way I would apply the lesson is still the same.

Having read the comment and thought about how my actions can change in the future, I now feel hopeful. I'm grateful for this community for providing that.

So, merely deleting a comment is enough? But that’s what we had before. Aren’t you required to have some kind of upload filter so that copyrighted material never ends up in your comments in the first place?
I have no gripe with gh specifically, but it's very disappointing that the first thing people do is flock to centralized services on top of the brilliant p2p scm that is git. You really don't need to look further to get a grasp of how things for the dweb will work out.

Also of note: github blocks indie search crawlers, contributing to search engine monoculture. Moreover, your user's clicks are captured by a company with an incentive to push for privacy invasion as a business model going forward. So, indeed, F/OSS projects using gh should definitely reconsider, if they haven't already done so when MS bought gh.
> I feel like if they know about my competitors they're bound to leave my software for sure

Who gives you the right to decide what a customer should want? If they are with you and they are happy with your solution and they stay with you, it's not in your right to think that they should be buying it from someone else.

This is why we don't have one car model for each car category, one kind of food for each meal. It may seem logical that everybody should just buy the product with the most bang for their bucks but people usually need the right product.

Sporks are more feature rich than spoons and forks but most people would prefer to use spoons for the soup and forks for the salad even when they are fully aware that sporks exist.

if everyone is leaving you when they learn about your competitor it may mean that you don't have a viable product and you should make changes.

At Google, hires had to be approved by the founders as of 2013. This was when the company was hiring a few hundred people per week, so the founders got a spreadsheet with links or something like that. And apparently they did sometimes say no to some people.

It seems like a bonkers practice to me. I understand that it is important to hire good people. But this could be delegated several levels down, at least for entry-level hires. I suppose the top dogs could worry about promotions and hirings starting at the level of the junior managers, if they wanted to.
However wordly wisdom can help you gain better models to process reality through.

IPSec is considered compromised by complexity. Your encryption shouldn't come with footguns, the UX should be designed in a way that just works.

Wireguard has a limited amount of configuration, a small code base and has been reviewed. This gives us a greater level of confidence in it. Obviously this needs to stand the test of time and you'd be connecting to a wireguard server.

There may be specific technical worries about the IPSec protocol, but I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable.
I don't want to trivialize learning modern frontend development with a clean slate, because it is a long process to get familiar with the tools. But I think those are the details and not the basics. Whether you use html templates rendered server side, or JSX in an SPA, the experience is quite familiar.
Ok, but, why?
Carriers don't even fully provide what 4G is capable of, yet still advertising so-called 5G. I would be okay with 50gbit 4G LTE with an unlimited plan for the next 5 years at least until they figure out their new gimmicks.

Don’t believe this socialist nonsense.

Comments on the article:

If profits resulted solely from land ownership, every landlord would realize the same ROI.

Secondly, if slum landlords made a better ROI, greedy capitalist bastards would invest in nothing but slums (as long as the slum premium persisted).

If there is some extra profit involved it may only be the result of government action - either shitty legislation that bastardizes free market competition or corruption (either internal, or bribes).

Maybe Postgres plays a part in this??
I used to have a business that sold Microsoft Dynamics ERP/CRM which required Enterprise version SQL licences, at truly insane prices per core ie $100k+ per server. At that time Oracle was even more expensive. When I started a business based on Postgres, I found it incredible that we could get a (much better dev platform for our needs) completely free!
Recently Postgres has added many Enterprise features inc parallel query, logical replication etc Enterprise db offer Oracle compatibility. This must be taking significant business away from Oracle.

I think it’s more like there are three tiers:

There is the budget tier with the 2018 regular “iPad.” It uses old hardware but is otherwise relatively cheap and capable.

Next step higher are the iPad Air and iPad Mini. They use current generation hardware and support all the same things the regular iPad does. Pick the Mini for something smaller, or the Air for a regular sized iPad. Bonus with the Air is that it can be used with a Smart Keyboard, so if you wanted an iPad Pro + Smart Keyboard combo before but couldn’t justify the $1000+ price tag then now’s your chance to get in with something a bit cheaper.

At the top end there is the iPad Pro in two sizes. They don’t have TouchID, have FaceID, and support Pencil 2 and USB-C. The non-Pros all support Pencil 1 and Lightning.
Ask HN: How do you find a good digital marketing agency to deal with?

So, how do I find the right one?

Last week was about Apple VS Spotify, now Shopify VS Mailchimp. I just can't understand why big companies can't get along while there is so much money to make or lose.

I tend to support opensource apps like Magento or WooCommerce. Shopify is extremely easy but I don't get how they can complain when they actually hold all the ropes of their clients and say something about another services' data collection. What's the logic behind it exactly? Users want to use Mailchimp, and it is not always e-commerce related.
I’m curious how this compares to pacemaker and corosync for core infra devices like a active/passive failover for SAN or a virtual IP. It doesn’t seem like they’re in the same category in terms of typical usage, but both can handle the notion of a cluster.

That quote was used in the article! I guess you missed it:

> If you’ve ever heard the aphorism about “ten years of experience or the same year of experience ten times,” the Expert Beginner is the epitome of the latter.

I agree with the factors you listed. As always I think company culture plays a big role too. If you're surrounded by expert beginners it's like an echo chamber where everyone thinks they are rockstars. Being surrounded by people who genuinely want to learn and improve instils the opposite mentality and drives progress.
Why is it less productive now? Doesn't make any sense. Even just the available tools and libraries today make every thinkable workflow orders of magnitude more productive.
Actually the only experience you can experience is your own, IMO. Reading a tweet is you having an experience involving someone saying something and you interpreting that and maybe imagining what they experienced, but it's different from actually experiencing what they had experienced from their perspective. The cost of experiencing from your perspective is still the same amount of attention, and the "innefficiency" is in not being able to experience more with the same amount of attention, it seems like; but on that; I don't think there is inneficiency or any making up for it, it's just about choosing which kinds of experiences to have (they still happen at the same rate of attention conversion).
They were 4G by definition because the definition of 4G is the 4th generation, and LTE is *clearly" that, despite what some idiots in the ITU may try and claim.

Well it is very clear now Apple wants the Air brand name to be Mid Range. So Pro > Air > Original ( MacBook / iPad ).

MacBook Pro > MacBook Air > Macbook

iPad Pro > iPad Air > iPad ( The Mini actually fits into the Mid Range )

It is similar on iPhone, where I expect Apple to drop the number from naming scheme and just go with

iPhone S > iPhone R > iPhone

Basically Apple is transition all of their product line into three different segment, each with different display size and prices. And I guess these transition will make a lot more sense once the 2019 and 2020 product are out.

ActivityPub: The Case for Blind Key Rotation
If I were in charge of creating a new prison system, I'd do mandatory schooling and psychological counseling. I know that's very very expensive, the thinking being here that you'd get recidivism so low that you'd really only have to have small prisons. I'm talking placement tests and actual schooling. Can't read, teach him to read. Community labor, get them attached to people. Get a job placement program.

We could actually work towards reducing crime, but we as a society want punishment too much to allow it.

I agree with this: after you know k8s, it is pretty darn great. Two more points:

1. K8s of 2019 is significantly better than K8s of 2017. With stable Deployments, StatefulSets and CronJobs and binaryData in ConfigMaps etc., I haven't missed a single feature in my latest setup: I just typed away helm'd manifests and things just worked. This is in stark contrast to the dance around missing features with initContainer and crond container kludges you had to do in 2017, when I built my first kubernetes setup.

2. People tend to conflate maintaining a k8s cluster to using it. Setting up your own k8s cluster with HA masters, is likely still a royal pain (disclaimer: my attempt at that are from 2017 so could be wrong, see point 1). But for a small company, whipping up a cluster from GKE is a breeze, and for big corps, company-wide cluster(s) setup by an ops team (OpenShift has been ok) is the way to go. The end result is that as a developer you just push containers and apply manifests.

A lot of what you need to do in your startup is actually just obbvious. Spending time thinking about competitors or other things that are out of your control is a waste of time. When asked how the amazon business will be different 10 years from now, Bezos often says the same thing - that 10 years from now customers arent going to wake up one day and say i want amazon to deliver slower, i want less selection from amazon or i want higher prices. so just focusing on those three things and not worrying about what your competitors do or dont do would put you much farther ahead. youve just gotta figure out what those three or four things are for your business - the core stuff that customers really want and just keep focusing on making those things better.
I suspect they will never feel very nice because they can't be glass.

Also, this is on X11. On Wayland you don't even have to do that, as non-hidpi aware apps get automatically scaled up.
