You're focusing on the wrong thing here. It's not about whether he could have navigated a fucked up system to solve his specific problem, it's about the fact that the system is so fucked up that it violates expectations to this insane degree (man who lived somewhere for over 40 years peaceably and even contributorily is now having to leave).
She's telling you the time and weather. Depending on the circumstances she will add some tips like "Put on sunscreen", "bring an umbrella" or "put on a mask to protect against pollution". First time I heard the latter one I was like "I'm living in one of these dystopian sci-fi films I love so much...".

Solar and Batteries Could Help CA Manage Fire-Prevention Grid Shutdowns
according to a legal expert cited in the article what facebook did is a violation of the users privacy in India.

Secondly, in what world is it normal for a social media company to knock on someone's door for content they posted on their platform?

If I make a comment in the washington post online section, am I going to get 'business visits' from the moderators? This is entirely inappropriate, apparently not even legal in the country in question, and sounds like something out of a cyberpunk parody.
Dear 500 Karma Lords,

This kind of comment deserves the opposite of a downvote.

Definitely makes more sense in the tractor-trailer market, where the additional battery cost will be easier to account for. Doubling the price of a pickup is probably a no-go, so a few more years at least before the pricing gets acceptable there.
The reason a law exists and the way it's enforced are seldom kept in-sync.
Oh, so we're going back to the age of `/track_exit.php?base64_url=aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLm9yZy8=`?
The reason there should be 3 is likely because the odds of 2 failing are not unlikely enough from a safety perspective.

There’s no problem if one fails but what if both fail and both corroborate a bad reading?

Certainly the cost of 3 such sensors would not be as high as the cost of another crash.
I'm not so sure.

I think I'd lean more towards quantity if it were a choice - my kids are very young though so right now I just want to know them for as long as I can.
Wow. Amazing
I mean it is pretty true that most frontend developers do not have the inclination to go trodding into a C++ code base making syscalls without a wrapper. Even taken uncharitably seriously, that is all the comment was insinuating. Everything else is added by you the reader.

And anyway I'm fine with exclusively frontend devs staying out of systems stuff. Anyone that wants to read OS kernel and compiler source code has tons of choices. Most I've talked to find it dry and boring. They don't belong there... that's fine.
Jeff Bezos: To live a happy life with no regrets, ask yourself these questions
This is so wrong. “AI” could consist of super sophisticated flying drones with powerful lasers and the ability to self replicate and a mission to kill all detected life. If these were the only things it were capable of it would destroy most of us. Are we anywhere near that? Not now - but we are way closer to that reality than that reality would be to “AGI.”
> Well obviously enough thought it was the right option

While I voted remain, I agree that we have to respect the outcome of the vote. But politicians on both sides told lies and half-truths, and many voters really didn't know what they were voting for - and of course some were simply ignorant, whipped up into a xenophobic frenzy by the tabloid press. The whole things has been a shambles, and demonstrates just how fucked up out political landscape is.

> That how government works. You have the main party in power and the official opposition that tries to block bills it doesn't agree with.

That's not how it's working though - my point is that Labour will block bills based on political points scoring, not because they actually disagree with the bill.

While Labour is not in power you won't get anything out of them about what they would actually do in this or that situation - they refuse to have an opinion on anything (but will invariably spout "well, we've been very clear"), and seem to exist to heckle the Conservatives

Article brings up a good point, pigs are one of the most intelligent animals on the planet, yet pork production is increasing every year. More than half of grain also goes towards livestocks. Intelligence and consumption efficiency of other produce isn't really a good excuse for not being eaten as the markets have proven.

> or on the merit of their own games; they are buying exclusivity in order to succeed. [...] Epic is using their cash to complete, and are trying to replace something people love with something worse.

So? Guess how EA has so many "original" games to begin with? Sounds like people are disgusted because cash bribes sound icky.
The amount of whinging about this is disappointing.

Facebook has a very stringent identity verification process for political ads (I’ve gone through it multiple times). It’s not a joke. They actually really truly want to be sure you are who you say you are. To address the very problem that everyone has been complaining about. Cambridge analytica, influencing elections, etc. etc.

We don’t have all the facts in the story, but:

1. Facebooks clearly states that if you want to run any kind of sponsored posts relating to political content you have to get verified.

2. That verification can take place in many different ways

3. This person was under no obligation to complete the verification process and can simply say no (and also not be allowed to run ads on Facebook)

4. If anything this shows how seriously Facebook is taking political advertising transparency

5. Can someone please explain to me how this is in any way shape or form a privacy violation?
The problem is not that this is a big number of deaths in an absolute sense. The problem is that this is a big number of deaths to result from a chain of events that can ultimately be traced back to a strategic decision by Boeing to increase profits, and where an explicit component of that strategy was to cut corners on training. The whole point of MCAS was to avoid the overhead of having to obtain a new type certificate for the new engine design, and that lead to 346 deaths. That's the problem.
Well, the main argument (which still stands imho) was that the FAA would not be independent in this case.
>>I don't know how it works elsewhere, but the entire real estate industry in Florida is not capable of long term thinking.

They aren't incentivized to think long-term, because they are making money hand-over-fist. Whatever they build gets sold at very high margins because consumers aren't educated (thanks to things like Florida banning the term "climate change" from school textbooks) and don't have modern expectations.
New control technologies lower microgrid costs, ease renewables integration
Folks have mentioned Movies Anywhere. Some physical discs also include UltraViolet (UV) codes that are redeemable for digital copies. UV is going away, but the codes will still be available. This meets all of the authors needs...assuming the disc includes the code.
The MS-PL software license has a similar clause, but it's just if you make a patent claim against a contributor you lose the right to any of their patents immediately. It's a strange little MIT-esque license with a patent clause that I think makes sense. The Tesla clause sounds a little different but yeah it's a good thing. It means don't fight over patents if you're getting access to ours royalty free, then don't be a douchebag. But it's problematic if someone else uses your patents and screws you completely in the process.

And how likely, according to your estimate, is this to actually happen, vs. the target falling in the category of "I love deadlines and the whooshing sound they make as they fly by"?
Well you're not wrong, but not only is that in the article, it's literally the next line below the title.
No. I've watched a lot of tv. I realized one day just how many hours of my life i'd spent just watching entire series straight through, watching and rewatching movies, my entire childhood watching cartoons and tv shows. It's definitely at least a few years of my life cumulatively.

That's time I could have spent getting better at hobbies I enjoy, learning things, going out and doing things, making things.

I started thinking about it around the time I realized time is pretty much the only thing any of us has ever and once it's gone it's gone. I decided I'd devoted enough time in my life to passively watching things.

Don't get me wrong. I'll still watch things occasionally and I don't think people who spend their time watching things are wasting their time.

It's just for me, I didn't like the way it took up my attention and time, I didn't like the way my head was full of knowledge about countless tv shows and movies and I made a choice, helped along by the increasing lack of quality in content and complication of services, to just detach from it all, watch the odd thing that comes along that really appeals to me, and just avoid the rest.
What would be interesting is that we move away from domain blacklists (e.g. adblocks, /etc/hosts, pi hole, etc.) to domain/ips whitelists (like firewalls).
Assisted suicide is a completely different thing than "laws preventing family members from prolonging the suffering of their loved ones."

The first gives patients and families more options in how to deal with end of life care, the other takes options away.

I wonder if some of the people here, that like Typescript just fine, would consider less main-stream typed-js solution.

I.e. Elm, ReasonML/ocaml/bucklescript, Purescript, Haskell with ghcjs, Rust with web-assembly compilation, or even wasm from Go?

I am somebody who really likes to dabble, but is not a fronted person, so I am thinking, what would make you consider switching?
What bizarro world are you living in where failing to moderate a Reddit thread causes you to lose standing? At worst you won't be able to get as good a settlement because the scammer can't pay you extra to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

He is not required to leave. As stated in the text he is probably loosing his job as mayor as soon as the Brexit happens.
In Australia we are frequently reminded that scammers operate by posing.

In that context the correct thing to do is report the incident to police, that way the police can, if they get enough reports, raise an alert through their usual channels to advise the populace to be on the lookout for scammers operating in a particular manner.

Call me paranoid, but I always assume anyone claiming to be from <company> or <government> to be a scammer until proven otherwise, and I tell them that: “if I can’t authenticate you then we can’t communicate, and it’s up to your organisation to work out how to do that”.
My point is that if something goes wrong as things often do with laptops, it's very difficult to replace it when it's all on one motherboard. I've got an old Thinkpad which is a beast and mostly works, but it has a problem where the power supply stops occasionally and beeps at me. If it were a desktop I could simply replace the PSU, which is modular and standardized. Such is not the case with laptops, and there's very little interoperability except for some components. Since the golden era of ThinkPads, most machines have gotten more and more disposable and locked-down, with soldered-on memory and other longevity compromises to reach a smaller form factor.

To anybody living outside London, hyper-centralisation is the obvious problem. Govt has done little in the past two decades to stop every new HQ making London just that little bit more essential.

Whole industries need to pull out and other cities get a crack at fresh, planned-ahead growth.

Rebuilding London every few years to deal with the latest calamity isn't practical.
From what I've heard it seems like no, the double status is likely to be allowed to continue.
I watched the TV series and it was actually remarkably sympathetic towards the Russians involved. The Russian government obviously wasn't very pleased with it, but I doubt the EU were either (it portrays neither state in a good light).

The way America treats Russia (in TV, movies and the media, where it's the bogeyman du jour), on the other hand, is vastly different and arguably quite russophobic.
Hah, yeah. I felt pretty dumb when I realized that a 40" LCD is about as tall as a 29" 4:3 CRT (est. from memory), so SD video on the LCD is no bigger than I had 20 years ago.
He doesn't have to leave. He just can't be a mayor unless he's willing to apply to German citizenship (which he'd get in a heatbeat) because you're required to be an EU citizen for that. Have you read TFA at all?
I don't think seasteading would be an easy sell in an area susceptible to powerful hurricanes. Though, I do think seasteading is an underrated idea. I think the best place in the US for it is the western part of the SF peninsula
I don't see it when I inspect Google Search results. Instead I see a mouse down handler that rewrites the link's href to go through a google.com redirector. How did you spot the use of `ping`? Maybe they are running an A/B test.
I 100% agree with you. Though everyone should be able to make their own decision and because people are diffrent they will come to diffrent conclusions about what the right path for them is. We should not be trying to impose our path on other people.

That said I'm going to speculate that as a doctor being asked to do long series of futile actions while watching a person die has to be traumatic. So I can understand why many doctors like the idea of palliative care.
You also have to type, refactor, and test them. I work in multiple languages and the typed are definitely slower at the beginning, but pay off later. The strategy I outlined is the way to get the best out of both.

It seems like a wink-wink, hush-hush deal struck between Redbox employees and certain Walmart brick and mortar employees. I would venture as far as assuming that the three-copy-per-person limit was am arbitrary decision by another brick and mortar employee -- policies like these usually come from subjective decisions by well-meaning but uninformed managers in the retail world.

There's a similar scenario where the last Blockbuster Video in Bend, Oregon restocks its DVDs by buying at Walmart, but it's detailed in one of the documentary videos about it that the manager of said Blcokbuster has a special off-the-record arrangement with Walmart management.
Denial is the first stage... :)

As I understand it, Brussels is governed by a parliamentary system, not a direct democracy. The advantage of such a system, in theory, is that these representatives can have cooler heads than the mob of common rabble outside.
I have literally never done this in a job outside of interviews, and I haven't had anyone else do it either. They might draw class diagrams or concepts, but writing code by hand is error prone and pretty pointless.

Regardless, most modern offices have a projector or a TV in conference rooms. I just don't understand why you'd use a white board when you can easily project a text editor. The problem with writing code in handwriting is you can't move it, so you have to do it all linearly. If you need to introduce a variable or a new scope it gets messy incredibly quickly. When I code I almost am never thinking linearly, and I'm constantly adding things above and below, and doing that on a white board is a NIGHTMARE.
May she rest in peace.

You need extra functions in your window manager for moving between screens with multiple monitors. Depending on their placement the shortcuts might be non-intuitive. Different screen resolutions lead to unnatural movement of the mouse cursor between screens.

I've also found that such extra complexity impacts productivity negatively. It's an unnecessary distraction trying to communicate such complicated layouts.
And magnesium, right?
from a long distance away, and a few news articles, it appears that the politicians in Venice actually do generate quite a bit of money, and plans, and proceed to hoard it and play favorites and invite others to try to get it from them (wink wink) .. meanwhile, storm days in Venice can get rather exciting, in a negative way.. so that leads to more money, again.
I don't think it would be a fair assumption that rich people buy a bunch of crap just because you saw one rich family doing it in a documentary.
You seem to be very emotionally invested in this fight between two corporations. You make it sound that Steam succeed because of some heroic display of courage and selflessness while Epic would be a scheming thief set to destroy it out of spite. Poor Valve, let's start a GoFundMe to help them...

Steam popularized always-online DRM. They attempted to monetize mods. They wrote the book on in-game item trading with TF2 and CS:GO, even if it meant that a bunch of underage kids were effectively becoming gamblers. Steam is not your friend, Steam is a business selling videogames and offering online services.

Most importantly, Steam is more than perfectly capable of fighting back if they see EGS as a threat.
Disney doesn't want you coming in and taking up a premium parking space and expensive charger for a full day while you're at the park. That's a money loser for them.

As a counter on a much smaller scale, if I was setting up or redoing a midrange or better fast food place I'd absolutely be looking into the costs of having public paid charging stations in my lot. Drive in, plug in, come inside (and don't blink at the price of our current run of premium sandwich meals), order, eat, head out 20-30 minutes later having paid a few dollars for a fast charge plus $8-12 for a meal with a great profit margin. Not something you'd do every day, but I see people just sitting in their cars at the Tesla chargers in the parking lot of my local Meijer.

At least right now people with plugin EVs or hybrids are people with disposable income. If I have a business that I'd like those people to come to for 20-60 minutes a few times a week then chargers make a ton of sense.
Ask HN: What feature would you want HN to have?
Firefox will tell you that the tab you opened or are looking at or whatever has crashed, it will apologise and offer to try loading it again. In my experience that usually works, but in principle of course it might not.

I've used Mozilla M-series browsers back at the turn of the century and we crashed those "hundreds of times per day" but that's because we were DOM mangling back when that was new and exciting, not how everything works in every popular web page. Also the M-series weren't finished, hence the milestone number instead of a release version.

Sailfish OS had the same alarm clock widget since lauch (~2015), which is not surprising given that many ex-Nokia people who worked on the N9 created the Jolla company and started Sailfish OS.

I don't have asthma. My doctor says I have something milder than asthma. I have a puffer, and if you put me in the same room as a rabbit or guinea pig I will be struggling to breathe in about 20 minutes. I've lied awake at night coughing and hearing the accordion-like chorus of my wheezing windpipe. But it's not asthma. It has, however, made me very aware of what it feels like when lungs are not working well.

Nothing scares me worse than death, but idea of my lungs slowly giving out over years is a pretty damned close second.

Yeah, tell them 'no thanks', or just don't answer the door to people you aren't expecting. None of this is a police matter though.
