I'm curious about IP protection on a 3.5 second performance, comprising 3 notes.

What would appropriate "fair use" look like? And evidently, the fact that Yahoo made it their branding was something legally different than a local performance. Odd system we have.
Right now the system is that everyone gets a "we think you might have unreported income" and I don't see any problem with that.

What I don't understand is why we can't have the IRS running their own tax prep website. The government seems to be capable of running other websites just fine.

I do a little bit of fishing and trail riding in North Georgia. The only Land Rover I’ve ever seen was a 15-20 year old LR some high school kid had. He was with a couple land cruisers.

Land Rovers around my area look like the only off road they’ve ever seen was the overflow parking lot at the mall. Not to mention the tires they sell are not off road capable in the slightest.
Immigration is the obvious solution to this problem. (not claiming its the best, mind you)

If the fertility rate is around 1.7, then the country should accept around 20% of their population in immigration over a generation to achieve a stable number. Assuming a generation is ~30 years, that's around 60 million new immigrants in the US.

Assuming the immigrants are from underdeveloped nations, it will lead to changes to entire demographics of nations over 2 generations or so.
Hi Peter,

Congratulations! You're an inspiration. A few questions, if I may:

1. Do you plan to expand to other produce other than just the onions?

2. How did you arrive at your current business model (like min order quantity, areas served, return policy, shipping rates etc)?

3. How do you deal with customer complaints, in particular, with something as prone to decay as organic produce?

4. What significant part of the way you do this business changed after v1? Esp, as multiple customers would have inevitably given you comments and suggestions.

5. You mentioned you're registered as a LLC. You don't intend to raise VC money? For instance, YC prefers not to invest in LLCs.

6. What does the tech stack look like (Shopify? Weebly? AWS? Frameworks? Payments? etc)?
TIL the cloth bag I've been using for the past decade or so is "unrealistic". Still, interesting data.
Yes and no. While it's great in movies, barreling into water like that is a great way to hydrolock an ICE. Plus that thing was clearly freshly waxed for the shoot, water be running right off.

I happily read that rustc is split into a incremental parsing frontend and a supporting backend. This capability is key in modern compilers and editors. I read about this like 8 years ago in the C# Roslyn compiler project. Roslyn also aimed in supporting IDEs (here the language server) using the compiler frontend.

My question is: are there any compiler which predate Roslyn in this aspect? Anders Heijlsberg said in a video once, that this is modern compiler architecture (compared to the outdated Dragon and Tiger) but did not mention that the Roslyn team invented it.

> I still periodically eat meat

I have a friend who describes himself as "meegan". He's straight-up vegan in terms of his regular diet (not because of ethical issues, but because he feels better eating that way), but if he's eating out or at a friend's house, and they're not serving vegan fare, he'll eat whatever is on offer.

It seems like a rational way to go about it.

Related thread from 10 months ago, about a MSDN article titled "The Japanese Calendar’s Y2K Moment"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17430085

From the MSDN article:

> The Japanese Calendar has Japanese Era Names that coincide with the reign of the Emperor. For most of the modern age of computing that has been the Heisei era, however the Emperor is expected to step down on April 30, 2019. Which will bring about the beginning of a new era. Fortunately, this is a rare event, however it means that most software has not been tested to ensure that it will behave with an additional era.

> The magnitude of this event on computing systems using the Japanese Calendar may be similar to the Y2K event with the Gregorian Calendar. For the Y2K event, there was world-wide recognition of the upcoming change, resulting in governments and software vendors beginning to work on solutions for that problem several years before 1 Jan 2000. Even with that preparation many organizations encountered problems due to the millennial transition.

I swear there was an HN thread about a language-specific implementation (Java? Ruby?) of calendar, which included having to deal with the Japanese epoch change.
> but I bet the original creators would be the ones most shocked that it's still a thing in 2019.

Couldn't we say the same thing about bash or basically most tools in your typical Unix-based OS? Old code is solid code. If they're to be shocked it's for doing something so right that it's persisted all this time.
Those cars look 30 years old or more! No one is commenting on the absolute off road tanks Land Rover used to build. The new cars are purely luxury cars for rich people, as evident of Land Rover killing off the real off road LR models.
Yes, meditation could be called disciplined leisure. I'm not sure if the post you are responding to is getting at that. Meditation and minding wandering are very different things, even opposites. But I think both are very useful for that creative process. It would be interesting to examine the effects of these two things in the context of this article.
I am sick from looking at what my family tosses out each week--plastic packaging on top of plastic packaging. It's crazy how nasty packaging is in the US. Worse, producers have been putting less and less actual product in the package which just make more trash in the end. It's just cheap and lazy and we shouldn't allow them to get away with it.

The reason X11 got pushed through so quickly 30 years ago was that some vendors were threatening to standardize on X10. Maybe they should have just gone with X10, because it would have been easier to eventually replace.

This article seems to be mixing up languages, which others have pointed out but not in full.

wayland-rs does not wrap libwayland, but instead offers a pure Rust implementation of the Wayland protocol.

Sway and wlroots are both written in C, but wlroots-rs is a project which wraps the wlroots C library in a Rust wrapper.

There are currently no mature Wayland compositors written in Rust.

Also, this article mainly focuses on the problems with Wayland on the Raspberry Pi, which stem mainly from the old proprietary drivers and the slow pace at which Raspbian gets up-to-date software. For most users, the experience is much better.

"At my highest peak" is meaningless to apply to a running total. It must be some period of time. A year would be implied, given the context of the conversation.
I don't get it. If my neighbours didn't renovate their apartments by drilling holes or hammering on the walls I wouldn't even know that other people besides me live in the same building. Sound proofing isn't going to stop walls from vibrating. Just suck it up. 2 days of noise a year isn't a nonstarter.
Not to mention other genetic differences, such as physical health, attractiveness, height, etc.
I think it depends a on where you live. If you are living in a smaller city/town then you can benefit from the advantages that you mention without the externalities that I talk about.
Wayland is insufficient in and of itself to prevent keylogging.

https://github.com/Aishou/wayland-keylogger

At present Linux desktops aren't very secure against user installed malicious software. It is however fortunate that most software is installed from curated repos.

It's not clear that just switching to wayland is worth much at this point in time.
Purity is not enough to prevent timing attacks. A famous example is string equality. The running time of a typical implementation is proportional to the length of the largest common prefix between the two strings. To prevent this information leak the implementation must be written to always iterate until the end.

But spectre is even worse than that as it attacks at the hardware level. If the CPU does any sort of speculative optimization, through things like caches or branch prediction buffers, then it likely can be the target of a spectre attack. You can try to add spectre mitigations to your language's compiler but, as the article discusses, this approach is an uphill battle.

many cars have the same to show the sides of the vehicle using only the front and rear cameras without the need to have cameras also in the side mirrors. It creates a texture with the cameras and use it to render the surroundings when you move around. Pretty cool when I saw for first time.

But yes, if something moves where the cameras are not pointing you are not going to see, my vehicle only moves forward and rear, so it's pretty useful anyway
Ask HN: Autonomous Vehicles and Lidar?
So I watched the Tesla speeches yesterday, and I was surprised by the lidar assessment by Elon Musk. The main reason why I was caught off guard is that Waymo seems to be run by some really sharp people and yet they went with lidar technology. Does anyone understand the technologies to explain why Elon believes lidar to be significantly inferior?
> in the accounting world, "good will" is an acknowledged asset class that exists. It's not always a good idea to "monetize" all of it, even from a strictly homo econ[omic]us business shark point of view.

Is this true? I'm familiar with an accounting concept called "goodwill", but as far as I ever learned "goodwill" is just the label given to prices that are higher than the fundamentals appear to justify. By that definition, in order for goodwill to exist, it must already have been monetized.
Except that X11 isn't doing something so right -- it's still terrible, and it always has been, and we knew it was terrible at the time it was standardized.

But it's funny that you would bring up something as terrible as a shell scripting language like bash to compare to how terrible X-Windows is. Have you ever read through a gnu configure file yourself, or do you just close your eyes and type "./configure"? Who in their right mind would ever write a shell script, when there are so many real scripting languages that don't terribly suck universally available, that don't shit themselves when they encounter a file name with a space in it?

These quotes about X-Windows apply to bash as much as they do to X-Windows:

"Using these toolkits is like trying to make a bookshelf out of mashed potatoes." -Jamie Zawinski

"Programming X-Windows is like trying to find the square root of pi using roman numerals." -Unknown

Peter here (author).. happy to share a little more. I oddly enjoy the customer relations side the most. It's so old school - alot of my customers are surprised when a real human picks up the phone to take their order. The hardest thing to get right (and we continue to refine) is the logistics part. The pitfalls I encounter are the very tight margins. If I take my eyes off of operations, I could quickly go under water.
> Schoolchildren used to grow plants from seed as homework.

They still do, depending on where you live. My daughter brought home a sunflower seed from a field trip last spring. By the end of summer we had a 7ft tall sunflower growing next to our deck. This year we have several more already sprouting in that area.

It also had a side effect of really enhancing the plot of pretty terrible clay soil we plucked it in. Lots of herbs we attempted (and failed) to grow last year are already starting to flourish this year in that spot.
The framing of this headline bothers me. It implies the money always belonged to the children from the start. "Gave away" is also an interesting choice over "donated". At least in my mind, they conjure different thoughts. Donated implies a purpose, while "gave away" could mean that the money was lost needlessly.
I strongly suggest that this is due to being colleges that you can afford if you get in which directly correlates to your parents' incomes, connections, and support which greatly increases your odds to becoming a richer adult.
No it’s not. You’re thinking of the old models that looked like they were ready to go on a Safari. Land Rover killed off the old lines.

Could you send me a link to a new land rover you think a farmer would buy? I just can’t see a farmer cruising around in a posh Discovery.

Maybe the U.K. gets a barebones model?

> I'm sorry but you shouldn't call yourself a vegetarian.

I understand your point, but I don't entirely agree. I think if someone's primary diet is vegetarian, calling themselves that isn't unduly misleading even if they eat meat on occasion.

But it may be a difference between being "vegetarian" in terms of participating in a movement and being "vegetarian" just because you prefer to eat that way.

Indeed, I recall hearing that Roslyn was an inspiration for the Rust developers in this regard.

Soundproofing doesn't need to get better. Buildings just need to be built with it. (Annoyingly, retrofitting internal dampening appears to be very difficult, which is a problem)
I view these serverless cloud offerings as more of a business/staffing decision than an engineering one. It may not be less work overall, but it tends to outsource traditional ops work and replace it with work that ordinary developers can do. Instead of having an extensive in-house ops staff to support your development team, you can have a much smaller ops staff and grow your development team more quickly.
Yes! There are no serious moves. Nothing in life is really serious, not even death.

But I feel like I need to reach some impossible state of ego integrity or ego death or something to actually live by that line of thinking.

So instead, I'm moved by fear and contrived seriousness. I want to be successful, or at least successful enough that one day I can spend my 80s seriously and nostalgically navel-gazing to bewildered viewers outside of my social reality, convinced that I am extremely special. [0]

It can become a real problem if you pick a niche PaaS that say, gets bought out and closes up shop real quick. Probably wouldn't happen if you picked AWS, but I wouldn't consider this "fake work" in all contexts.

You have evaluate the probability of a risk occurring, and its impact to your business. Small-time service providers get bought out and close shop left and right.
What an incredible story. Encapsulates American entrepreneurial excellence !
That's good to hear.

I think the interest for EVs might be due to CO2 systems being capable of working as heat pumps as well, producing hot air. Otherwise you'd waste a lot of electricity in cold climates.
So is x11? There used to be a couple of commercial x servers available for Microsoft windows, for example.
Honestly paying for parking is an insult in the first place.

Here in MA to drive a car you have to pay.....

1. Sales tax, whether you bought the car out-of-state or not. This is calculated by the RMV and NOT by your bill of sale. So if MA thinks your $500 car is worth $3,000 you're paying 6.25% of $3k.

2. Registration fees that go up every year. This pays for the 4 hours you have to sit at the RMV watching people who get paid $30/hour help one person every 15 minutes.

3. Private insurance, which is required. Lots of out-of-state policies aren't eligible, so we see ads on TV for competetive policies from Progressive, Geiko, ect yet nobody in MA is eligible to buy them. It's worth it to note that state vehicles don't need insurance as they are "self-insured." So if you crash into a cop you or your insurance will pay 100% but if a cop crashes into you the town and its taxpayers get to pay 100%.

4. We have toll booths all over the fucking place yet we still have some of the worst paved road conditions in the country. Anyone who has visited Cambridge MA can attest to this.

5. We pay yearly excise tax on each vehicle to the town we live in.

6. Exorbiant state fuel tax (27th highest in the nation).

How much more can they charge us for infrastructure without actually having to invest anything on infrastructure? On top of property and income tax and sales tax and excise tax you've gotta pay $3 to park on a public street.....

I think that's an important point. For a lot of people in US politics it's more important to "win" than to have fair elections.
It depends on how you define "wealthy people" and also if you look at the most wealthy (in the US)

Sorry for the wall of text but this is an interesting look at the richest in America (spoiler: 60% inherited)

"In its just-released new report, United for a Fair Economy extends this baseball analogy to last year’s Forbes 400. UFE defines as “born in the batter’s box” those Forbes 400 rich who hail from poor to middle-class circumstances. Some had nothing growing up. Others had parents who ran small businesses.

About 95 percent of Americans, overall, currently live in these “batter’s box” situations. Just over a third, 35 percent, of the Forbes 400 come from these backgrounds.

Just over 3 percent of the Forbes 400, the United for a Fair Economy researchers found, have left no good paper trail on their actual economic backgrounds. Of the over 60 percent remaining, all grew up in substantial privilege.

Those “born on first base” — in upper-class families, with inheritances up to $1 million — make up 22 percent of the 400. On “second base,” households wealthy enough to run a business big enough to generate inheritances over $1 million, the new UFE study found another 11.5 percent.

On “third base,” with inherited wealth over $50 million, sit 7 percent of America’s 400 richest. Last but not least, the “born on home plate” crowd. These high-rollers, 21.25 percent of the total Forbes list, all inherited enough to “earn” their way into top 400 status."

I appreciate the analysis of the cocaine detection, and the torts, but the question was about the evidential legality of touching your rear tail light. That was not necessary to conduct the stop and (by supposition) there is insufficient evidence for a search (beyond what he can ordinarily see), etc.

Are you saying that e.g. the cop's fingerprint on the tail light could not be used as evidence, because it was an illegal trespass?

Half-offtopic: I find it very interesting that Rasbian sticks to LXDE. I thought that was going to slowly disappear, with LXQt having developer attention and there being no path forward towards HiDPI and well, Wayland (because neither GTK2 nor Openbox support these).

LXQt currently still uses Openbox, but you can replace it with KWin rather easily. I don't know what is then still missing to create a proper LXQt Wayland session, but it seems feasible.

I guess, one does not really need HiDPI on a Raspberry Pi, but yeah, Wayland would be nice.
The pleasures of urban populations have become mainly passive: seeing cinemas, watching football matches, listening to the radio, and so on. This results from the fact that their active energies are fully taken up with work; if they had more leisure, they would again enjoy pleasures in which they took an active part.

-- Bertrand Russell

http://www.zpub.com/notes/idle.html
I use it, so I could care less about your "it hands down lost to vnc/nx and rdp" assessment. And until Wayland has a mechanism that has the flexibility of X remoting, it is a strictly inferior technology - for my purposes.

That doesn't mean that I may not be forced to adopt it due to market forces, but let's not pretend that this isn't a glaring hole in Wayland for many people.
Thank you for sharing. Was using similar tools but this one does not even required to sign up. Love it!
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what issue you have with my initial statement. I looked up the possible meanings of pedantic and received this list from the web:

> overscrupulous, scrupulous, precise, exact, over-exacting, perfectionist, precisionist, punctilious, meticulous, fussy, fastidious, finical, finicky

Each of those words is positive, if not mandatory, when dealing with the law, with the courts, with court judgements, and with the Constitution. Could you be more precise (pedantic, even!) about why taking a 'fastidious' or 'precise' approach to this discussion of constitutional law is inappropriate here?
