I think the cancellation fees uber in particular charges are bullshit and I always dispute them with the credit card if uber doesn't give me credit. Every single one has been for a driver taking a trip that's way too far away, estimated wait time of two to three minutes becoming ten to fifteen minutes or more. If the driver who knows they are taking this trip and won't get there for over ten minutes but the eta is three minutes, why should I pay a cancellation fee when I finally cancel after waiting five minutes? That is total bullshit. Often the driver hasn't even finished his previous trip. I don't know whose fault it is, the driver's or uber's. The software should not allow a driver to take a trip with a short eta knowing that it'll take four or five times longer, sometimes before he even finishes his previous trip, but since it does, the driver should be aware of how far away he is and not take a trip he knows he's going to be way over the eta for. In this scenario, everyone loses.

> Inflation is not a tax: there is no government entity that collects inflation payments

Quite the opposite; when new money enters circulation it is spent (by those doing the printing) at the pre-inflation value of the notes.
It would have been nice if that guy had actually hit me. We could've replaced him with someone with manners.
The TSA employees did not care about Pre-Check. They said that it was an international terminal (I was flying domestic) so there was no Pre-Check. The only perk I got was to be able to go through the old style detector. I still needed to remove electronics. They did not care.

Also, the line I am referring to is the baggage check for customs. First comes the passport check, then you retrieve your luggage, and then you go through customs again with your luggage (which is never checked). Global Entry does not help you with that last line, which can be brutal at some airports.

Ask HN: Why don't I ever see any HN Polls on the frontpage?
I don't think there is a threshold karma for voting in polls, but I've never seen them on the frontpage. There is also no page like "Ask HN" or "Show HN" where we can see only polls.

Are polls not created that often, and don't receive that many upvotes?
Ok. FYI the site guidelines say nothing about downvotes. I had never heard the term 'downvote-baiting' before, and when I looked it up, the top result was you in some other thread on HN.

No such "active" decision has ever been taken by the UK citizens and simply never would be by any democracy I can imagine - and this is probably the next major problem democracy needs to solve.

Did you know the UK is self sufficient in strawberries? Supermarkets saw they had demand, and put strawberries on shelves from global suppliers year round, then started competing amoungst themselves on price which meant air freighted strawberries cost more than locally produced greenhoused food so we expanded our greenhouses - in a good stuff it's likely noone would vote for

I don't know quite how to solve this but I think a "backlog"

That doesn't sound right. Physical, non-video-game instantiations of tetrominoes exist, and Tetris Holdings, LLC presumably doesn't hold trademark over those.

It'd be like trying to trademark a d20. Sure, one with symbols/numbers on it, as viewed from a certain angle, stylized a certain way, might be trademarkable as a mark (i.e. a logo.) But isocahedrons generally? They're mathematical objects.

Which means that, presumably, you could make a Tetris clone as a board game (which would work a bit like Connect Four, I guess) without any exposure.
Just your standard human greed and selfishness. We're all trying to get more at the expense of other people. It's how we evolved.

Then he should have made it a lot easier to do so. The whole problem with DNS is the finicky configuration, it is about as tricky to set up properly as a mail server in spite of the outward simplicity. Mail, DNS and also WWW servers are the ideal components of federated systems but the degree to which you have to be a networking guru, security guy and systems administrator to keep all three up and running without issues over a longer period of time is such that many people will simply not take the trouble.
Lots of us had the same thought with those famously huge crowds at airport security just post-9/11. Cabinet member on one channel (we had channels then) telling us how sophisticated, dedicated, well-funded, and capable our adversary is, and how they're basically everywhere. Change the channel, story about massive lines at airports. Put two and two together, quick mental math involving how long air travel might be crippled in the entire OECD by a single attack at a security line and the economic damage of that—not to mention the, you know, terror of such a follow up attack, I mean it's right there in what we call this whole thing—then the cost of such an attack versus the entire 9/11 project (a fraction), and as the weeks pass and the obvious doesn't happen you start to go "hey wait a minute, that may have been a crazy fluke by some not-well-coordinated group and the cabinet member's just bullshitting me about this Bond villain terrorist organization thing."

I suspect having had that thought was a common differentiator between the folks who were on board with the plan at least until Iraq, and those who were already going "hey can we wait a minute?" before the invasion of Afghanistan.
I didn't miss the point, I only targeted the main one you brought up.

I think we need to evaluate public facilities. As for them replacing "trash bags" that's fairly tenuous.

All I can do is target problem areas. Personally, if I could make the rules, I would force all plastic bags to be industrial compostable so that whenever plastic is found, it can be put into the recycling.

We eliminated single use plastic bags in the UK, and there have been very few side effects, and your concept of homeless pooping in them is a new one. Though we may just have better facilities than you.

The rest are mitigated by forcing people to think about what they are doing in advance, in the same way they don't generally forget about putting fuel in the car.

What problems are? I suspect that there should be problems with spam as anybody could add their comments (although protocols seems to contain some countermeasures) and maybe some kind of DoS of anybody "posting" too many comments. But what other problems are?

I wish OpenSSH supported GSSAPI Key Exchange.

OpenSSH has for some time supported using GSSAPI for authentication. What I am referring to is using GSSAPI in place of the normal trust-on-first-use host key verification.

GSSAPI Key Exchange was standardized in RFC 4482 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4462); an updated version (using SHA-2, newer DH groups, and an option for ECDH) is in last call (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-curdle-gss-keyex...).

GSSAPI Key Exchange is great in environments where systems and are members of a Kerberos realm. They all already trust the realm’s KDCs, and it would be nice to be able to extend that to SSH.

It may also be possible to use this in an Active Directory environment, as AD uses Kerberos under the hood for some of its user and machine authentication functions.

PuTTY recently got support for GSSAPI Key Exchange, in 0.71 (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/..., it already has support for GSSAPI authentication).

The OpenSSH developers have confirmed that they will not implement this in OpenSSH (http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1242).

Precisely that, although the irony is that while the regimes themselves, anywhere in the Sunni Arab world, are friendly and cooperative towards Israel, their educational textbooks still preach for hatred and rejection of Israel and often times straight antisemitism.

Not necessarily, it depends on the type of regulation. Regulation enforcing net neutrality, and regulation to combat anti-competitive behaviour, are both examples that enable new entrants.

Opiates didn't really wreck many lives till they were made illegal. They didn't cause crime, they don't cause bodily harm, and most people used them and had normal lives. If we legalized them now we could stop wrecking lives immediately. So this worry is unfounded, uninformed, stupid, and dangerous. It is the real cause of the suffering and really, isn't much different than what the parent comment says. Not that addiction is ever fun. But try telling that to the idiot offspring of puritans.
There are 7 billion people in the world. That number is incomprehensible. When a large portion of those know who you are, you cannot possibly assume that you live anything close to a normal life. Everyone around you must be trying to blackmail or manipulate you... Heck, even the people manipulating you probably have other people manipulating them behind the scenes.

You can't trust anyone or anything. I already feel like this now as a regular person. If I was a billionaire, I would probably never leave my mansion and I'd fire all the house staff. You just can't buy real trust; people will only pretend to be trustworthy.

When you're a public figure, you become surrounded by the best actors in the world. These people are in a different league than what you see in Hollywood and they all want a piece of you.

>Are you trying to argue that humanity can keep its current quality of life in a less resource intensive manner by spreading out, or are you arguing that we should decrease our quality of life and go back to creating food and goods on our own?

Both. We should spread out, gain more local independence in terms of energy harvesting, and we should also change our lives to be not so dependent on massively energy-hungry activities .. like driving 4 miles to get a burger from a drive-through.

I'm a good programmer with a bad memory, but I went a completely different route to the guy in the article:

Better Tools

He talks about having to google things all the time, and memorize how to do things in his language. But that's the IDE's job.

Good tooling knows everything about the language you're using, and everything about your codebase and everything about every library you've ever used. If you want to do something with a File, you shouldn't ever need to remember anything more than the word "File". Type that, then ctrl+space, and the IDE will get you to the point where muscle memory can take over.

For other things, I just cheat. I have "\r\n" written in felt marker in the corner of my keyboard, because (since I'm also a bit dyslexic) I can never get the slashes in the right direction first try. This isn't my dev laptop, so I just got them wrong typing them out above, and had to google to verify. Despite having used them on a daily basis for 20 years.

But anyway, back to the point: Tools can and should replace nearly all the memorization that most people in this gig seem so proud to have done. So long as you're good at the problem solving bit, a bad memory won't hold you back.

So you have for each body position at time t, mass, charge, whatever. Then you calculate the forces, acceleration and speed and finally the position, mass, charge,.... at (t+1). Rince repeat?

The problem with this strategy is that you accumulate errors and the results are a function of the floating point representation. Your universe big bang simulation might give you a steady state for floats but implode for doubles aso.
Also, checkpointing your results and restarting from the persistent state might make the simulating go somewhere else (which is how Lorenz discovered chaotic systems iirc).

Anyway, proceed with caution.

Or some of the schedulees of the events move across time zones. There're absolutely other use cases.
> A correctly coded application does explicit normalization of datetime values the moment they enter the boundaries of the application... within the application there is no ambiguity

> This is 100% true... I built a time tracking application which has proved this true many times.

The potential for timezone rule changes mean that future events specified in local timezones are fundamentally ambiguous with regard to any absolute timeframe. Thus, normalization of such events to UTC can result in errors.

Consider TicketMaster. They have a database of future events around the globe, sometimes years in advance.

Imagine a band scheduled to play at 24-Jul-2020 at 8pm in Tokyo. Japan's government was considering reintroducing daylight savings time in 2020 so as to reduce heat stress on the 2020 Olympics athletes. In August 2018, they decided against it, but it could have happened. Let's pretend it did happen.

If you had stored this band's gig in a database a few months ago (before the decision to make the change), your UTC-normalized timestamp would be 2020-07-24T11:00Z (UTC+9). But the gig is going to happen at 8pm local time regardless of the rule change. The actual event time is 2020-07-24T10:00Z (UTC+10), an hour earlier than originally scheduled.

Normalizing to UTC makes sense in so many cases that it can seem to be a silver bullet for all cases. But there are definitely business cases that do not work well with this approach.

You probably don't want someone who steals your laptop to get access to your secrets after a few days. Also, how would you know your "brand new" laptop wasn't interdicted by a hostile party while it was "having problems clearing at customs"?

This is fundamentally a descriptive statistics question (how do X and Y go together) rather than a causal inference question. Descriptive claims still have value; it is clear that both self-assessed happiness and use of language have omitted causes not explored in this research. If anything, this is mostly useful as an exercise to critique operationalization of emotion as sentiment scores in NLP.
