Classical piano music is stellar to code to, specifically composers in early classic and baroque eras like Bach and early Mozart. Music like that is great, because it does not usually have a large range of dynamics and does not have super exciting contrasting parts which can be distracting.

Jazz is good also, but that can sometimes get annoying after awhile or can be too exciting and distracting.

What? No. The fact that she's ex-military and runs a drone company is precisely why she should be on such a board.

If there is no one on the board with the relevant knowledge and experience to competently represent a given use case, then the board will likely be unable to produce results relevant to such use cases. For example, if I form a board to hash out software version control system best practices but actively exclude experts on distributed VCS such as git and mercurial, then the resulting "best practices" are unlikely to prove useful for anyone actually using a DVCS in reality.

My point here is that excluding her almost certainly won't actually do anything to prevent the development of militarized AI. Rather, it will simply reduce the likelihood that anything the board puts out has influence on such matters.
Ask HN: How much do you need to retire early?

Recall that at the same time it's taking the strength of both pilots on the yoke to keep the plane approximately level. You're saying they should both let go at low altitude and see if they can crank a trim wheel together?
It's pretty freaking safe, isn't it? We've literally had zero-fatality years in the US. That doesn't happen through good luck alone. Clearly the manufacturers, regulators, and operators are doing almost everything right.
It definitely can. Reasonable timeouts and redundant systems.
$68M doesn't seem like much compared to the billions of capital available. Lyft can burn 1 billion per year but a crucial technology like this for climate change can't get even half of that? Society's ability to allocate capital is really ineffective sometimes.

If this technology got more R&D and was refined, it could potentially be the solution for excess solar/wind. Why build expensive large batteries if all that excess solar/wind can suck CO2 from the air and produce fuel? Then cars running on such fuel could effectively be carbon neutral.
Flesh Made Wood: The Invention of Artificial Refrigeration (2014)
multiple economic papers have shown that Rent Control is a huge disaster for a city. As said in another comment, it rewards those that moved in early (and those might be super rich techies like most of my friends that like to brag about having a rent controlled 2000$ 2bedroom).
Rent control forces new units to be priced super high because the landlords know they will not be able to increase afterward. Probably one of the most failed policy in SF (and there are a lot of failed policies there)

News flash, in a capitalist society, scarce resources are more readily available to those with money than those without. Regarding “fair distribution of shelter”, what do you consider fair? How do you allocate scarce resources in a fair manner? You make it sound like having an apartment in downtown SF is some sort of inalienable right.

Experience sounds like a good thing on the face of it, but it also adds noise where all of these indications sound familiar enough, and yet nothing in particular stands out and tells you to leave flaps alone. That suggestion isn't even in the emergency airworthiness directive. And still at the time of this event there's no simulator that can be configured for MCAS upset so that pilots can experience it in various phases of flight.

Also, the priority in a flight control problem is to fly the plane, get it stabilized, understand the problem, and turning back to the airport is inconsistent with that. Fly runway heading is the proper thing to do, it's less complicated. A turn increases angle of attack, increases drag, it makes a high angle of attack situation worse, and if you're trying to climb it reduces your rate of climb.

You did just read our use case didn’t you? Yes we could overprovision a single server with 5x the resources for the once a week indexing.

We could also have 4 other servers running all of the time even when we weren’t demoing anything in our UAT environment.

We could also not have any redundancy and separate out the reads and writes.

No one said the developers didn’t need to understand how to do it. I said we didn’t have to worry about maintaining infrastructure and overprovisioning.

We also have bulk processors that run messages at a trickle based on incoming instances during the day but at night and especially st the end of the week, we need 8 times the resources to meet our SLAs. Should we also overprovision that and run 8 servers all of the time?

Firefox Send uses something similar.
They are held to a higher standard because the alternative Chrome is as bad as it gets in terms of usability and utilizing sneaky ways to subvert privacy. The sneakiness is not necessarily malicious - it is driven by Google's revenue model.

Firefox remains configurable and privacy-enabling to a large extent, but it is becoming harder and harder, especially for non-technical folks, to realize that default Firefox settings are not necessarily user or privacy friendly. See the ruckus last year about defaulting to Cloudflare's DNS servers.

Article says Google is closing down the Artist Hub feature, a feature I never used, and this suggests they will be shutting down google music and move to YouTube music. YouTube music is a very different service from google music. One is video focused jukebox and the other is a full music streaming service like Spotify.

My favorite features of Google Play Music are in Europe; (I’m not saying these don’t exist elsewhere)

1.Playing near you. Recommending music of upcoming concerts near my location

2. Pressing dislike skipped the rest of the track

3. Recommendations were good and included not so well known artists.

4. Automated playlists with themes like dinner time, morning work out.

Dislikes:

1. No podcast integration

2. I never got lyrics working

3. Waiting for them to cancel the service

4. Interface was plain and no visualizer

I recently made the switch from LP to bitwarden and have been incredibly happy about it. I can self host everything + the autofill and UI polish (browser extensions, mobile app, CLI) is much better. AND it's FLOSS ((A)GPLv3).

Even including the self hosting setup, my all-in migration time was <30 minutes.

I looked through a ton of other options like keepass and the author's own PfP. But mobile, web, and yubikey support are all very important requirements for me.

At least it works on all platforms well. 1password is a disaster on anything not Apple.

It's usability (last pass) has been getting worse though....
I've been using 1Password for a few years. It feels a bit over-featured to me. It has worked reliably though.
Nawh, it's definitely Nabiru ;) Thanks for the heads-up.
I don't get the hate. I've been a LastPass user for 5 years and it works for me most of the time. I've dabbled in 1Password, Chrome native password management, Firefox native, random Hacker News password manager recommendations. LastPass...still the best off...AND I got my brother and dad to use them and get excited about password safety.

What's so terrible about people using better and better passwords? It's not perfect but I am so much happier with my dad using LastPass versus the shitty password strategy he had before...it was post-it note password management.
Hmm, I would be a bit skeptical of that figure without observing incorporated city limits and how far out they extend. Sometimes population figures include the "metro area" as well.

So what do you think AWS services are running on if not Linux?

Netflix is by far AWSs largest customer.

From the horses mouth on why they decided to move to AWS:

You could also go to YouTube and watch any of the dozens of talks NetFlix has done at ReInvent.

Of course Netflix caches it’s videos in the ISPs data center. But caching is not the “heavy lifting”.
100M Car Sold every year and majority of them ( Until AV Comes ) don't require any more Silicon than a Smartphone. The 5G hype will hopefully move the market to slightly faster replacement cycle, although I doubt it will happen.

The only possible lift for the market is the SEA and India make major leaps and bounds in their economical growth. But that is unlikely to happen either.
I mean, I think we could probably conclude it's a mix of both. But one way to nearly know for sure would be to observe the turnover of housing supply in that area.
Thats not really how investing works though. I agree 100% on importance but in high risk unproven markets you dont just throw 100m over the fence and see what happens. This is a phenomenal outcome.
So how big is that compared to the life threatening issues facing trans people daily, and which do you focus your time on? To me, when people choose to spend time on this argument, it's indicative of priorities and how they value the lives of others, and whose lives. And yes, in an ideal world it's both. That's not the reality we have though.

I'd also generally challenge that one competitor in a field has that large of an effect on people's lives. Yeah, that first to second stings slightly. How about that 15th to 16th? And how many sports really have this problem right now? Let's again focus on this relative to its effects.
True. Luckily, most Go binaries can be upx'd ( https://upx.github.io/ ) for a fraction of their original size. Just put it into your Dockerfile as a part of the build process.
As a many-decades resident of Santa Cruz and San Francisco, and a as someone who has in the past been deeply involved in the street/drug scene and been associated with and friends with many dozens of people who have lived on the streets, I think this bizarre attempt at categorization missed the most visible and important group of people on the streets...

People who choose to live on the streets. Go talk to people. Ask where they're from. The people you're most likely to encounter (the ones being visible, doing drugs visibly, camping visibly) are travelers of sorts. Adventurers even. Sure, many are drug addicts or have mental health issues. But so do millions of people with jobs and homes. Unlike those people, these people choose to eschew social norms wholesale and live a nomadic lifestyle.

You see much less of this outside of the temperate climate of the West Coast. But here, it's a growing problem. They have plenty of food and can earn above minimum wage by spare-changing and are given adequate healthcare. And they shit and piss on our streets, block sidewalks, litter profusely and otherwise do whatever they feel like.
I assume you mean how null has to be compared with the IS operator instead of equality? I’ve wondered the same thing, but would making Null==Null have some strange consequences for left join operations? You could pretty easily and unintentionally return the Cartesian product of the two tables. Requiring a different operator for comparing to bill prevents that.

I agree with the 'ruiners' label though, especially living in SF, the vast majority of homeless are minding their own business and trying to get by. If you pass by 100 in your day and just one happens to be openly shitting in front of you, you might walk away saying, 'the homeless are really ruining the city', in spite of 99% of your encounters being neutral.
A professional gamer has to deal with so many more things as a result of their daily interaction with the game than someone who just loves the game. If a big weekend tournament is coming up, you can't just "take sick leave" because you're running a 102 fever. If you are in a slump or having a rough time personally for a few weeks, you bleed fans and have shoutcasters questioning whether you have fallen from grace or are no longer the best of the best. If you are just not in the mood to practice because it's a nice day out, but if you have a tournament net week, you can't skip your session. It becomes so very different when it changes from something you love doing purely because it was fun, to becoming a job you get paid for, to becoming something where it's your job to be the best in the world at scoring points in.
That said, the Air France Airbus dive into the ocean was caused by an equally stupid design decision that should never have shipped. Pilot and copilot were applying opposite force on the joystick, and instead of a siren going off, it just averaged them. Have they even fixed that yet? It was in ever Airbus.
That's one thing that might motivate me to set up CI/CD on a server.
I love bitwarden also. Having tried a few password managers, it has the most pleasant mobile experience.
Yes, when deleting an instance you can't reuse the same name for a week, so I'm quite sure it is there for at least that amount of time.

> Yes, I want a diverse set of views on such a council, representing multiple areas of the political spectrum

You may want it, but a lot of googlers definitely won't. A lot of people on the far left define ideological disagreement as "violence" and would be very vocally attack anybody that holds view they disapprove. And Google management is not invested in this project enough to spend a lot of political capital on it - plus they themselves are probably on the left side, so why would they battle for including somebody who they don't even agree with?
You used to be able to go to a username or password field, hit the down arrow, and it'd let you select through your various accounts. I hate touching my mouse and loved that interaction. Really wish that came back.

I'm going to wager that it's because Firefox has devolved into a Chrome wannabe that you suffer through for ideological reasons and little else. XUL addons were the reason to use Firefox; it's an otherwise mediocre browser that gets trounced by Chrome in every conceivable way but privacy (and even that might not be a guarantee). Mozilla started to get really into the whole ethics and responsibility arena around the same time they deprecated XUL, and them trying to act like they could do anything after giving their core competency a death sentence left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths, mine included. I say this all as somebody who has used Firefox for almost my entire life, and will continue to use Waterfox until the wheels fall off the bus. The best thing that can happen to Firefox now is for it dwindle into irrelevance and disappear so that people can see that good intentions don't make up choosing to create the inferior product.
Author here; yeah, helm is the part of our stack we’re least happy with tbh (it’s turned into a huge pile of templated yaml files for each project that seems like it might not be maintainable long-term).

Switched to it somewhat over a year ago from LastPass after I read up on LastPass’ ‘security’. The only thing I dislike about Bitwarden is that on their iOS app it sometimes takes a while (>30s) to load the search function. I love that their chrome extension has a dark mode!

Not you nor the OP said anything substantial other than "they do it". No shit. FBI is also working their hardest to gain access privilege through everyway they can in the scope of their capacity.
