Global entry/TSA pre-check is the best $100 you can spend (or not since the application fee is covered by a lot of premium credit cards)

Keep shoes, keep laptop in bag, keep jacket on, way shorter line...I’m simulateously happy that not everyone is doing it and dumbfounded why anyone who travels more than a few times a year wouldn’t have it by now.
Can you please discuss the issue? because an Israeli company was involved we have the right to criticize it.
And you have no right to accuse us of not liking Israel or inventing stories.
If people with your reasoning are the only ones left to defend Israel, I worry about Israel...
The silver lining is that no built in support is better than poor builtin support as it opens the doors to interesting add-ons filling that need.

That said, I would love if Firefox had an excellent RSS experience, but frankly it was always a confusing afterthought.
21 cents per minute that you have a passenger in your car. With Uber, but not Lyft, you might get paid a bonus to drive some distance to pick up a passenger. But time you spend adding value to the company by working as slack capacity (and slowly burning down the value of your vehicle) isn't directly compensated.
There were articles last year that did not reference coincidence, but expanded range of the carriers for the bacteria. The first story is interesting because there's a bit about the scientists who are trying to disrupt the lifecycle of the bacteria on a small scale to find a solution.

So then, when you're in an evolutionarily unfamiliar situation where these instincts of yours don't work, does anything go? If you're a drone operator shooting missiles at people through a video game, and it's too abstracted for you to feel bad, is that perfectly hunky dory?

Or, I dunno, maybe you might want to work on figuring out a way to think about that kind of decision?
But when are we going to have the real discussion about security theater?
TMS is not done with a MRI machine.
Nice observation!

Yes, most of the tests come directly from the docs, that way, by having full test coverage, means that at least a big part of the functionality is not only tested but also documented somewhere.
Zuckerberg seems to like GDPR and wants more of it, but at the same time Facebook moved accounts (some 1.5 billion) out of their Ireland datacenter to ensure they aren't held to EU privacy standards.

I haven't seen a leader (of a company) or CEO being so obviously ingenuine, its worrisome. I am not sure if he really believes his own words at this point or if he realized the ship hit the iceberg and he is now frantically trying to safe it but the long, painful submersion is inevitable... and he knows it too.

Yes, they definitely shook up the market, which is great.
I have an A72, and an EOS R and have tried almost all the modern cameras in the market. I enjoy using the canon one significantly more than the A72. The A73 is slightly better but not overwhelmingly so.

Sony cameras are still meh, they still overheat. They are relatively frustrating to use. Their autofocus tends to hunt in low light (great eye AF notwithstanding).

They win at video, almost overwhelmingly in specs. Unfortunately, I am into photography, not video.
Your assumptions are wrong. PostgreSQL's time functions provide exactly the semantics described in the article. If you pretend the two types work the other way around, you will get incorrect results when using e.g. `AT TIME ZONE`.
This CDC study[0] looked into that question, the answer was inconclusive (with some workers receiving a higher annual dose than is allowed, while most received a safe dosage). The problem seems to be malfunctioning scanners.

Yes. I felt bad about giving TSA my money, but like you say, it's worth it, especially if you fly semi-frequently.

Global Entry is the best part because after a long international flight the last thing you probably want to do is wait another hour or three on some long passport line.
They aren't profitable because they're burning money on crap outside of matchmaking riders with drivers.
On the one hand it’s great. But on the other nobody should have to go through the security theater that is regular non-precheck TSA.

I’ve long believed the only solution is to mandate that Congress travel as regular citizens so they realize how slow and pointless the process has become.
It's called proof of work.

Maybe I don't know because I don't have a PS4, but aren't all operating systems like this? It's an optimization, holding some writes in RAM rather than immediately going to disk. The software needs to know you're powering off so that it can flush those first.

You can probably configure some OS's to disable this (so that if it looks idle you could pull the plug), but it seems like a fine choice for a PS4 that rarely needs to be powered off.
well basically running your own dns server, might be better for privacy, however security might be worse if you are lazy.
if you do not keep your stuff up to date you will be more in trouble and have probably less privacy. (the same with mail servers, etc..)
of course the more tech savy and time you have the less of an issue will it be.
If discrimination was disallowed for your personal opinions, then this might be a valid argument.
Exactly. They can turn on and off the app whenever they want. There’s no contract. If they want to stop driving they can. If they want to drive for Lyft and Uber at the same time, they can. If they don’t want to drive for 6 months, they can. They can drive one trip a day and turn it off, and they can. There is complete freedom.

The only thing these people are complaining about is that they want the freedom to drive for Lyft but they want to get paid more. That’s all it is. There’s no exploitation.

But if the wages are too low, find a better job. It’s really that simple.

Ummm, Anthony Weiner.

But more generally, how employers, insurance companies, etc trawl social media.
I'm not the one being disingenous here. And that's not journalistic integrity. They initially stood by their false slander and only changed it after significant backlash.

Journalist integrity would be the economist not lying and smearing someone who they disagree with in the first place. To call an orthodox jew an "alt-right sage" means the people working at the economist are lazy and incompetent or they are liars smearing a jewish individual for ideological reasons. You could follow the thread. You could probably also find the deleted tweets by the economist and their editor too if you want.

https://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/1111301001359904770

To label a pathetic smear campaign by the economist as "journalistic integrity" just shows the terrible state of journalism today. And the only reason the spineless cowards at the economist apologized is because Ben Shapiro has a big enough following to fight back. Otherwise, they would have stuck to their lies and slander. And I have to disagree with your last statement. The economist is most definitely one of the "rags that are purely motivated by partisan ideology.". But we are all entitled to our own opinions.
Moreover, `AT TIME ZONE` only works correctly when used following the semantics described in the article. It will do the opposite of what you think it should if you use `timestamp without time zone` to represent an absolute time, or vice-versa.
I don't see any decline in gigs for local bands that play live for weddings, high school dances, etc.
About a year ago I was at an airport (Boston? New Jersey?) outbound that had a sign or TV monitor saying "Great news, you no longer need to take your laptop out of your bag!"

I read this sign as a TSA worker shouted every 30 seconds to the shuffling line about how everyone needed to take out all laptops, "ipads", cameras, etc.

I wonder if it was a pilot program. Or more likely, just part of the constantly shifting fabric of pointless theater. I fully expect these new machines are primarily to sell machines, and not to fulfill any other purpose.

I've been running BIND9 on a raspberry pi powered off of a usb port on my wifi router. Sure 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 will know some of my households queries, but not how much they are being queried. It's actually surprisingly busy with redundant requests. Request that google et al know less about now.

It's also handy to review the DNS logs. I found out my off brand wifi cameras were phoning home to china every minute. Blocked that domain in a hot minute!
Just get TSA pre-check. It's so freaking easy and it makes airport security checkpoints not a big deal at all.

It's long settled that biochemistry affects mood, depression, and a host of other difficulties people encounter.

It makes no sense to me to exclude agents that affect biochemistry ('drugs') from consideration as having therapeutic benefit.
I don't buy precheck out of principal. You shouldn't have to pay extra for a less invasive security experience
Lyft and Uber allow you to tip your driver. If you feel like they're not payed a sustainable wage, why not voluntarily give them more money?

I suspect a significant number of riders are pretty well off. Why not be exceedingly generous? Tip the driver 10 or 20$.
Looks like a great product, I look forward to trying it out this month. Do you have plans to support notes from Google Play Books?

I don’t know why, but for me it’s the shoes. My laptop bag makes it fairly easy to take my laptop out and put it back in, but dealing with taking my shoes on and off really fucking bugs me. It’s totally irrational, I know.
Sounds like a pretty unsustainable business model to me.
I do not like the idea that tipping is required for sustainable pay.

tipping should be a bonus, for a job well done. Tipping is meant to be a reward for extra-mile service. Tipping is NOT for just merely doing the job.

By making tipping part of sustainable wage, you're just subsidising the wages that the employer should be paying. It's both unfair and unethical.
Ask HN: What are your ideas for rideshare security?
A young woman has just been murdered in South Carolina after getting into the wrong car while waiting for a ride. What security mechanisms or protocols can be implemented to improve safety and security of rideshare customers?

One possibility is to show the customer on their phone (before the driver arrives) a photo of the driver who will be picking you up, a separate photo of the car that will be picking you up, and a License plate number of that car.

Another possibility is a randomly generated passphrase (using ordinary English words as suggested by xkcd author and the diceware author) which is generated and sent to the driver and the passenger, would be helpful and would have prevented this woman's death. Eg. the driver is supposed to say a meaningless phrase to the passenger, and the passenger likewise is supposed to say a different meaningless passphrase back to the driver. This establishes that both individuals are the individuals that are known to the rideshare company.

If usability of passphrases is an issue, a thirdr possibility is to randomly generate a graphic and send it to only the phones of the driver and the customer. Both must ask the other party to see their phone, and if the graphics don't match or one of the parties does not have a graphic, you don't get in the car. By graphic I just mean something that maybe looks like an avatar in two or three colors with geometric shapes, but fills a phone screen. It should be bold enough to show someone on your phone from a safe distance. The choice of colors and shapes and their relative positioning should have lower probability of matching than the probability of winning a lottery, while being easy to match visually in seconds.

What are your ideas? Reactions?
Lets get it on the table.
Well, a font nowadays is Turing complete.
I've heard many stories of drivers who do it to help keep drunk drivers of the road. There was a German Rideshare website I used (8+ years ago) that had decent popularity without requiring payment within the website. In this case I think we'd need to define "a whole lot" to try and compare the two.

Is there an opportunity for startup which can give you a pay-call number and handle all legal requirements behind it? Then it would be easier to own pay-call number for everyone and give it out to everyone.

The company can give you option to absorb the cost by yourself instead of charging caller. Math wise, if cost to accept legitimate call is 3 cents and if you get 20 such calls a month then its less than a dollar for you each month.
> Addiction causes harm, and even death.

That's mostly because the drug they're addicted to can't readily be purchased. So they're stuck buying stuff illegally. Stuff that's expensive. And with unknown potency. Or even, for that matter, identity.
Yeah, it's always up to the whims of the underpaid TSA agent who happens to be there that day. Back when iPads were new, I got scolded for taking it out of my bag, and scolded for leaving it in my bag, by agents at the same airport on two trips a few weeks apart.
Well said, thank you.

> Please add a correction to your original comment, to prevent readers from being misled.

Corrections are for facts. I put forth a theory. People being misled by a theory are not something I have limited power to affect. People representing theories read on the internet as fact have larger problems that that will solve.

This discussion is the correction, and a better one than someone would be willing to read. Were it within the 2 hour edit window, I would through in an edit, I've done so numerous times in the past. I will ask Hn to amend it's rules so I can correct a statement I made about something I suspected.

> Of course, it's valid to question a measurement that looks strange but your comment went further than that -- your comment, without evidence, assumed a cause

This is incorrect. I had evidence, I had numbers that did not line up with my understanding of how things should have been given my knowledge of the subject. I presented that as a theory, by using the word "suspect". All I implied is that if that theory was correct, which I made sure to not assert as fact, then it might affect some other languages. I did not assume a cause, I assumed a possible cause, and presented it as such.

I am very particular with my language. I try not to state things as fact when they are not. I try my absolute hardest (and I believe I succeed) to always speak in good faith, where I'm trying to raise a point I think is worthwhile or ask a question where I think there is benefit. I'm actually rather bothered by how some people interpreted my words and intentions, and that includes you. I'm bothered by how you've interpreted my words. Since you're not the only one (although I do believe you're in the minority), I'll assume there's something I could have done better to represent my point. I don't think all the blame lays with me though. There should be some way for me to posit a question and advance a theory without people assuming bad faith, so my question to you is, what way is that? How could I have expressed concern over the results without triggering that interpretation from you? Because I don't think doing personal research on a problem is an acceptable prerequisite for raising a question. In this case, I could have spent hours looking into something I was unfamiliar with and come away with more answers, but many people may not have the knowledge to do so but have enough to think something is wrong. Should they just keep their mouths shut? Are we in a time where raising a concern that turns out to be unfounded (or in this case, just more complicated and slightly misdirected) is unacceptable under any circumstance? I refuse to accept that.
They already do the first possibility.

The second and third wouldn't help, because they are strictly more work than the first, and the first wasn't done here even though it was available.

There will always be people who are too drunk or tired or uninterested to do your protocol, and those are the people most at risk who need it.

Something that might work is a recognizable LED light sign that goes on the roof, like a yellow cab has. It would be hard not to notice that this is missing, since it's visible from almost every angle. Then again, if you're not sober, there's really not much that can be relied on.

Depends. Develop a good relationship with the proprietor and you'll often find yourself paying less than the price tag, especially on expensive, relatively high-margin items like musical instruments. Sometimes even less than online prices.
There definitely are vendors out there who want to really innovate in the OS field. Huawei for example is working on next-gen microkernel leveraging hardware-software co-design [1]. That's not about to bring the power back to the users mainly due the fact it doesn't seems to be particularly profitable.

What’s security theater?

The elephant deterrence strategy?
Read what I wrote carefully. I'm saying there is no way of figuring out a RIGHT way of making the decision because there is no real concept of RIGHT.

If I push an innocent fat man in front of freight train (the man is fat so he's heavy enough to stop the train dead, but he dies as a result) to stop the train from running over 20 people tied the tracks am I a murderer or a savior? Am I moral or am I immoral?

I'm saying the answer to the question is irrelevant because there is no RIGHT answer. Any answer a regular person or an ethicist comes up with is ultimately as made up and as arbitrary as the moral instincts that drive our behavior.

The hard questions have no right answer because the question is loaded to begin with. We never evolved a moral instinct on whether I should push the fat man or leave him be. This isn't physical law or logic. Morality is an arbitrary biological phenomena.

If the ethicist tells you, you should push the person to save 20 people, and another layman says you shouldn't murder an innocent, fat bystander, neither answer is more wrong or correct than the other. The difference here is that the ethicist spent years studying something that ultimately has no answer or meaning.

Thus the ultimate argument is, there is no need for a company to hire an ethicist for hard moral problems. Your layman judgment is as good as the ethicists because it's all made up anyway.

The only probable benefit an ethicist can possibly provide is logical consistency. Making sure your current decisions are inline with your past decisions. But is that really a benefit when each decision doesn't have an exact moral answer to begin with? It's not. If I encounter the train problem 50 times at different stages of my life, and I choose to push the fat man 25 times and ignore him another 25 times the question is still loaded and both decisions are still arbitrary and it's still unclear what decision was right or wrong.

Moral instincts were never meant to be consistent, the codification of morality into law was something we made up in attempt to make sense of our moral emotions but is ultimately irrelevant.

Keep in mind I'm not saying that we should get rid of all our morals because it's all pointless. We're human and ultimately humans are moral and we should act human when the moral questions are straightforward and easy. I'm just saying that when the questions become complex you don't need to create an entire field called "ethics" around it because it's all ultimately made up and meaningful study on a made up phenomena is fruitless.

Can confirm.

I often travel with a big Ziploc bag of stickers (life of a Developer Evangelist). Have started removing it from my bag for security because it usually triggers a search.
> if Uber pays drivers more per mile, you’d have more people that will want to drive for Uber. This would mean fewer rides (per driver), which would cause the average take-home pay for a driver to be lower.

How so? Uber can and does control the number of drivers on their service at any given time.
Directly using Unix timestamps is unlikely to save much space since most internal representations are likely similar. They're also difficult for mortals to read and change in human-significant ways (like 3 calendar days ago).
The trick today or to drive more during surge pricing hours. One of my drivers claimed to be making close to that. I suspect a large factor is also the city you drive in.
This was a financial function which calculated an internal return of return for a long series of uneven cash flows, essentially a python implementation of the XIRR function that spreadsheets have.

To get to the required two decimal places of precision, each call would recurse 50-60 or more times so this was more or less all that the server was doing.

A VERY low hanging fruit.
