There are plenty of small villages like that. You can even expect DSL from 1 to 6mbps, and 3G depending on the size of the place. Some of them even more.

The vacuum is mostly in Castilla y León and Castilla-La Mancha. As some of you may know regions in Spain have state-ish status, and Castilla y León actually does a surprisingly good job on education, healthcare and pretty much every social service. I'm sayin this because they have been ruled by the good old corrupt party since I have memory, have tight budget and is sparsely populated.

“Telemetry” in this case is the entire uplink functionality. You are severing the entire connection with the mothership, so of course you lose all the cloud functionality that goes with it.

I actually really like that they offer the option to run the car totally dark. Of course you don’t get your GPS maps, or streaming radio, or software updates in that case.

I would assume software updates could still be installed by a service tech using a direct connection if the remote uplink is severed. Obviously automatic updates are a non-starter for a system which you are not connected to.

Keep in mind this opt-out is separate from the auto-pilot opt-in which lets your share short video clips and associated sensor data with Tesla to help them improve their lane tracking and feature detection algorithms.
What kind of phone do you have? I get 2 full days use on a charge. Surely you need a new battery instead?
No, because couple of hands holding each other doesn't represent "Rainbow Flag" (combination of "Waving White Flag" and "Rainbow" glyphs) in any way, so that's a clear spec violation.

However, if they decided to show a "rainbow painted on a white flag" instead of "rainbow-colored flag", it would be well within the Unicode spec. Of course it would have additional meaning and you can disagree with such decision on other grounds (I probably would), but it still wouldn't be "breaking Unicode", just like toy gun as "pistol" or toy car as "car" isn't. Hell, you can even make a font where every single emoji is depicted by toy cars doing silly faces and carrying things around.
Comparing ARCore and ARKit
Ah, good point. We already do so it's just a matter of not sending the email address to Stripe. Thank you for the suggestion. Added this to our roadmap: https://simpleanalytics.io/roadmap#109207
Dogs have been shown to detect certain cancers at later stages (which greatly limits use as a screener.. not to mention how does the sensitivity/specificity compare to state of the art). This is not surprising since as cancers advance they cause gross biochemical changes.

The further issue diagnosing cancer/no cancer or epilepsy/no is an easy problem. But train a dog/machine on 1000 or more rare diseases. Now selectivity is an actual issue. And unless you manage to overcome that, how is all this scent stuff clinically useful?
For those who have no resources rate limiting still works better and easier than captchas. You shouldn't do rate limiting per IP though, do rate limiting per /24 subnet, /16, /8, /0 per http method per URL, etc. Typically it takes just a few lines of nginx configuration.
Interesting, but untrue.
Well, it's inconvenient but in many regions you can call for a doctor visit, for example. The Castilla y León healthcare system has rural doctors that visit this places periodically.
Yes, a good example being the radio show “Round the Horne”. Polari was used to smuggle all sorts of innuendo past the BBC sensors
At least for US companies, I do see a lot of remote positions that specify that candidates must be US based. Not sure why...

Ah, yet another "open-source if you follow my principles" license. It should be an uninteresting fact at this point that yes, you can in fact put whatever clauses you want in your software license.

Note that this is a license restriction addon, not a standalone license. To use, ammend to and reference by another license. Note that this removes "open-source" status from the original license if it is open-source, according to OSI's "No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups" definition.
Thanks for the wonderful explanation! The idea of a charging mat with multiple overlapping coils seems to be a hard wall.
Yes, from europa.eu site:

> A "directive" is a legislative act that sets out a goal that all EU countries must achieve. However, it is up to the individual countries to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals.

But as far as I know there is no time limit on this, although there will be political pressure from other member states but they have their own issues, and it can turn out into you blame me I blame you kind of match. So I guess real answer is - it depends.
To quote a comment on reddit:

“It is monumentally ironic that the Member State planning to leave the EU because they want to make their own decisions, can't take any decision on leaving the EU.”
I think the words "accidental vote" in the title say enough.
Personal devices were taking over from built in entertainment units long before the ban was lifted on portable electronic use below 10,000ft. Having an extra 20 minutes to use your own device doesn’t make that much of a difference.

The whole point of the "lump of labor fallacy" is that growing the workforce will increase both the supply and demand. This is why unemployment is comparable across 1900 and 2000 America, despite the population exploding.

The answer isn't always somewhere in the middle. If someone tries to convince you that the Earth is flat or that climate change isn't happening, I would hope that you will lend more credence to the experts instead of believing the answer is somewhere in the middle.

Perhaps they do not. The rule that slower traffic always has the right of way should be observed.
I don't know anything about WP7, except that it was completely different from WP8. Searching for screenshots shows some basic design similarity, but it ultimately looks nothing like the OS I used. It is one of the reasons that the WP platform was floundering, since WP7 apps did not work on WP8. Either way, remembering a poll can be a tricky thing.

> And please don't be condescendingly academic about WP/W8 distinction. The "ugliness" of UI people here talk about is present on both platforms

I googled "Windows Phone 8 review". This is typical of the results I get.

https://www.cnet.com/reviews/windows-phone-8-review/

Windows Phone 8 makes significant changes while remaining true to its core. It's sharp, colorful, clean, and simple, but also hip and a bit exuberant. New features include a surge of NFC actions, greater customization, and a heavy peppering of more-minor additions and adjustments; yet it's the tile-based interface that continues to be the operating system's most distinctive and defining characteristic.

The UI is virtually always called out as great and great looking, even if the reviewer ends up not liking the rest of the package.
Off topic: Does anyone know why Coordinated Universal Time is abbreviated in this order - UTC? None of the languages seems to have that order.
There'd probably be too much metal / electrical interference for a regular compass to work.
I think people overestimates how "remote" those "ghost villages" are. They are very small settlements (the article mentions six houses) which may be a few hundred meters from the next inhabited place. It's likely that there are at least ten thousand people living in a 10 miles radius. (I'm refering to the regions that the article talks about, population is much more sparse in other regions in Spain.)
This license excludes any company that practices a 10x4 (10 hours for 4 day a week) work schedule which positive things have been said about previously. Also excludes companies with hourly jobs that work more than 45 hours but get paid 2/3x for extra hours. A lot of government agencies with unions have employees that love doing that since it gives them a lot of money.

edit: Hospitals as well since employees work odd shifts such as 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off for ER doctors, or 6 days in a row for lab technicians (with more days off every other week), etc.
I know music isn't a typical HN topic & am happy to find another source. Thanks for posting this.
I use Anki for improving my memory on different topics; philosophy, geography, etc. I'm currently using it to prepare for the french motorcycle exam and that's the first time I had to write my own cards.

I'm a software engineer and I feel like I'm forgetting a lot of things that I learned during university and during my carreer (algorithms, architecture models, design patterns, etc.). This feeling is very frustrating. I never thought about using Anki professionally and I'm gonna start to add some algo-related cards to Anki right now.

Note: I also recommend "learning how to learn", https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn/ - give some simple techniques and tips to be better at learning (spaced repetitions is one of them, learn by chunks, force yourself to recall, etc.).
Don't worry, it looks scarier than it is

Heck, just look at the thread on the cancellation of Apple's wireless charger. Part of me wished I could post a gif of the daunting and terrifying task of putting a phone in a docking station.
I've worked at two non-profits in the education sector and it's quite a change from having worked at for-profits, mostly in the IT sector. Things are way more relaxed (deadlines, SLAs, etc) and there's a constant worry about running out of funding so they make very conservative choices regarding buying equipment or using public clouds, for instance. I find it's hard to measure things as well when you're working with subjective metrics (e.g. are users "happy"? how do we define that?). Either that or these things didn't get communicated down the chain properly.

The mission is usually a big boost to your morale and engagement, but it's not the same for everyone.
The key with documentation is knowing where to look. If you are Googling for documentation every time you need something, I think you're doing it wrong. I always go straight to the source documentation and often I go to the source code itself if the documentation is ambigous. JS is probably the only language where I don't know a "true source", so I just go to MDN.
Without disagreeing with you, the diagrams from the linked page are pretty much reproductions of the ones from an official VT100 technical manual, https://vt100.net/docs/vt100-tm/

It appears to me that the rise/fall graphs are just graphs of ideal RC networks, while the whole true CRT system will have lots of other factors such as inductance going on.

When it comes to comparing what you might recall of CRT TVs and 80s micros to what a dedicated monochrome CRT would show, well, the dedicated CRT was much better and sharper, particularly if your color display technology involved a "composite" system like NTSC or PAL, where horizontal luminance (Y) bandwidth was SEVERELY limited to "make room for" the color information (I/Q).

To get an idea of how much Composite video encoding degraded picture information, take a look at modern videos of "RGB-modded" classic consoles such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpdpAxzjmA8 -- As far as I understand from the video explanation, both signals are video-captured, so this is not a "CRT effect", it's a "composite video effect" that makes the right-side image so smeared. There's also the palette difference, but that's more a matter of preference.
Probably great-circle distance.
I've actually recently tried Anki when I was forced to learn Javascript and knew I would be using it so rarely that I knew I'd end up regoogling, re-researching, relearn Ing the same facts/solutions over and over and over again. It was a revelation. Suddenly I could, in a systematic way, codify whatever new thing(s) I learned in a way that I knew I wouldn't forget it again. It was incredibly freeing and I noticed the difference it made day-to-day when I did have to use JS.

The important thing is that these cards aren't static. As your knowledge improves, as you gain practice, you'll notice the cards that aren't written in a way that are conducive to flash card learning and (ideally) you end up pruning and refining the process until it works. This requires a non-insignificant amount of dedication though.
Similar to this post, Jack Kinsella has written how he used Spaced Repetition Software to learn and keep programming knowledge in the following articles:

https://www.jackkinsella.ie/articles/janki-method-refined

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JCHkqVoX598Ob_111khrGoJ5cpe...

Derek Sivers also has written on memorising a programming language using SRS software: https://sivers.org/srs

One important thing in the original article is about flow, or the feeling of being in the state of flow if you don't need to remove yourself from the task for looking up documentation. I think that is a worthy goal to aim for but I am amazed at the amount of cards he has created, nearly 10,000 over a period of three years. He has put in lot of effort and reaped the reward.
The mammal mentioned in the article was a marsupial, so not in our ancestral line. Marsupials have split from the eutherians (to which we belong) long before the C-T boundary. At C-T there were already early primates, which is our closer family.

A fascinating story about this is in Baxter's "Evolution" book which starts with a little primate at the CT boundary and traces the history of the family to modern humans.
Nice try.

Just a few hours ago there was a news that they will "extend their list of (five) promises" in a way that will "give them access to an unexpected electorate", and now it's there. Thanks, but no thanks. It's easy to see where your opponent fails (some PO deputies voted for the directive) and just say "we'll do the opposite". I'm afraid it has no substance whatsoever, other than trying to capitalize on anti-EU emotions and to get young people to vote for them, as there's the least support for PiS in that demographic group.
No, that's not true at all. Please read the Spanish Civil Code, starting at Chapter 3 ("De la sucesión intestada") to see what's the order of heir prevalence in case of "unwritten inheritance".

Only in the case that there isn't any relative, or widow, or widower, the State will get a 'abintestato' inheritance.

You mean the (IMO) inferior 30-pin? In order to make the phone smaller, they had to ditch it. Also, they were running out of unused pins to assign to new functions
We're already risking that. The regulatory limits aren’t a 100% guarantee of safety, they’re just an effort to make a good tradeoff between safety and utility.

There’s no guarantee that all pacemakers will accept interference that falls below the regulatory limit, nor is there a guarantee that every certified device actually complies with the limit. Manufacturing defects or gaps in testing mean you can never be totally sure. If your standard is to not risk even one pacemaker failing due to outside interference, you would need to eliminate all other electronics. (And you’d still have the unlikely but non-zero risk that one pacemaker would emit interference that causes another one to fail.)

Anki really is a great tool.

Tip for people looking to use it: you can find premade decks (collections of flashcards) on various topics on the Anki website. For example, here are decks that are available under the 'Programming' topic: https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/Programming

Not all of these decks are great, but there's a rating system, and this can sometimes be a helpful starting point for your own decks.
Just for the notice: you keep using "we" through the article, yet your home page tells that you run it solo.
Listening to people that voted for Brexit has shown me that they voted for it for many reasons. This is one of the reasons that people have given me. Furthermore this is a reason that many remainers were not able to push the case for remain strongly enough.
> Yes, I tried Dash

I'd be interested to hear what your problems with Dash were.

I also have the problem of an extremely bad memory (and I feel the more time I've spent thinking about abstract concepts the last years, the worse it got), but I've never really felt that this held me back. Looking up API documentation makes up a negligible portion of my time working, and especially with Dash, that has been reduced to a non-issue.
I think it just boils down to we all have subtle differences in how we use products so while some features are a revelation to one person, they are pointless to another (always on Siri on the AirPods or wireless charging on the AirPods is pointless for me, I'd have simply preferred longer battery life as an example).

Wireless charging is incrementally nicer based on how I use my phone. Would I be fine without it? Absolutely. But getting an extra 2 inches of legroom on a flight costs more than a wireless charging pad so the bar for incremental benefit is pretty low for me.

The small incremental benefit for me is that I often randomly wake up in the middle of the night with something on my mind, if I don't look it up, I won't get back to sleep. Reaching over and grabbing my phone off the nightstand with a cable means possibly knocking things off the stand if I leave it plugged in (I keep a glass of water there usually), if I unplug it then I have to find the plug and replug it in all while trying to not wake up too much. I'm also always anxious about the cable bending too much at the connector so I'm always guarding that carefully. If I get a high gauge cable so I don't worry about it bending too much, then it's even more prone to knocking things over and possibly just pulling the plug out of the wall. Stands aren't much better, when trying to get the phone back on the stand in the dark without getting up it takes both hands usually to try to line it up correctly. The pad is simple, the phone is on the corner of the nightstand, I grab it, look up whatever, drop it back.

As I mentioned it is definitely a small incremental convenience based on my particular use of the product. For less than the cost of economy plus on a single flight, I don't keep knocking crap off my nightstand. Seems worth it (for me). I've definitely paid more for less tangible benefit.

Indeed. Spain is the size of California, so that may give some perspective...
> Many people are not like you.

Wrong.

> I personally don’t plug in at my desk even though a cable is there, as it’s one more thing to do. [...] It’s also tethered meaning I have a loose cable now dangling in my way, which aside from functional issues is also ugly to look at.

I face palmed after reading that. You certainly are Apple's target audience. Arrogant and lazy. Besides, most of your complaints are rectified using a stylish cloth covered cable with a length of >=3 m and good old fashioned human muscle power to plug them in. It won't hurt, I promise.

Apple (and every other gadget/accessory maker) love taking advantage of human laziness for profit. AirPower offers a marginal amount of convenience for a substantial amount of money. It might not sound like much money to you but that's exactly what Apple is counting on. So you and millions of others drop your hard earned money to save what, 5 seconds of plug in time and "ugly" wires?
I certainly had plenty of drivers casually and negligently drive through crosswalks occupied by pedestrians (done it myself too when I shouldn’t have)

Or did you mean the “eye contact yields right of way to the vehicle” bit?
There's communal property in Spain, but That's tipically for shared land, forests and so on. I don't think you can build on that, so that would be a private property, yes.

PhD Research: Learning to Fail
The French proposed TUC (temps universel coordonné) and UTC was the "compromise" with CUT.
I'm not sure this is helpful. I know exactly where to look. I still end up having to break my train of thought and the mental model that I'm in by opening the browser and navigating to the precise location where I know the information I need is. Then I need to refocus on the task I was doing before. Multiply this by hundreds of times throughout the day and it seems to me like a huge productivity loss. I used to be against rote learning of any kind, but nowadays I'm not sure. There's too much meaningless minutia that we need to learn or use while programming.
It's in the Wikipedia page linked here, under Etymology:

> The official abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time is UTC. This abbreviation arose from a desire by the International Telecommunication Union and the International Astronomical Union to use the same abbreviation in all languages. English speakers originally proposed CUT (for "coordinated universal time"), while French speakers proposed TUC (for "temps universel coordonné"). The compromise that emerged was UTC, which conforms to the pattern for the abbreviations of the variants of Universal Time (UT0, UT1, UT2, UT1R, etc.).

You’re right that it’s silly - from an IP topology layer Iceland might as well be mars. There was a bunch of news several years ago that Iceland was awesome because geothermal but a) there are other grids that are just as good if not better (Norway for ex) and b) doesn’t erase the otherwise terrible trade offs in network and dc options that are available.
I'm interested to learn more about this. Can you point to some sources?
I had an accident like this.

I was hauling ass down a one-way, two-lane street in the bike lane (shoulder). A woman in a sedan pulled in from a side street on the left, crossed into the right lane, then swerved across my lane to make a right turn into a shopping plaza.

I had no vector for escape, it was too sudden. I believed I would go through her right rear window and wind up in the car. Instead, the bicycle and I slammed laterally against her car and flew forward at her angle, my sternum striking her passenger-side mirror. As it happened, I thought it would kill me, but the mirror just exploded into a hundred pieces.

I landed on the ground with my bike next to her now-stopped vehicle, solar plexus aching but otherwise almost unharmed.

She was very apologetic. She said she had many friends who were cyclists, and she was aghast at the idea of hurting any of them. She told me if I was unhurt, and agreed not to request the police, she would happily absorb the damage to her vehicle (it was really badly damaged by my bike scraping over 4 feet of her paint).

After I caught my breath and realized I was unharmed, I told her it was a fair cop and we were good. But I will definitely never forget the terror I felt as I slammed into her.
I'm pretty sure the point is that you are likely picking up the phone to use it, so during that time it's not charging.
