Microsoft are selling an incredible suite of products and services. They are dependable, responsible and innovative. When I choose to use their platforms, I know they are taking me seriously, that they have a very long product support horizon, that they are embracing openness, have excellent documentation and integration with their tools (one fun exercise is debugging an Azure Function (their serverless lambdas) locally and seamless inside Visual Studio on your machine. Magical).

I would have thought they are a dying company just two years ago and today I have a completely opposite outlook of them.
Currently flights effectively have no room left anymore -- I have absolutely no idea why the seats on short-haul flights have the ability to recline. It's impossible to use a 15 inch laptop if the person in front of you moves their seat back.

If Delta removes that ability, I'll start flying with them exclusively. Have back problems? Feel free to pay more to sit in first/economy plus/whatever.

I'd obviously also support regulation for minimum seat space sizes, but that will never happen in America.

This is the reason I sadly don't recommend to customers that they run their own email servers, and instead outsource it to GSuite or O365. Being on the hook when emails aren't delivered for one or more of a dozen reasons that you can't control is no fun at all.
Email deliverability has been a hassle for a long time. 15 years ago, AOL was the juggernaut that made sysadmin's lives difficult.

I do agree that Google's outsize influence in so many markets is concerning.

You need to use the script for release mode.

Oh yeah but you legitimately can get more work done. It's just every now and again it causes a trucker to plow through a schoolbus because they're half awake at the wheel. This is why Truckers are hired as independant contractors to limit the liability of companies making them work unsafely. So they can argue they don't need to pay for little Billy's wheelchair.

Yet for the companies involved this arrangement is highly profitable. They don't pay any of the externalities. I'm not saying it's a good thing. It's merely a profitable thing.

You make it sound all economic-ey and free market, but it is anything but. This is nothing but a response to the insidious march of inflation destroying formerly viable markets coupled with airline greed. The rich don't have to suffer these indignities, they don't even go through a security screening. There's an airport near my house that caters to all the local muckey-mucks and the number of corporate jets going in and out of there is astonishing. I don't even think there is a single TSA agent at that airport or even a single metal detector or body scanner.
Organizations are often best modeled by an optimizing AI system. Often there is no intent behind behavior, simple that behaviors that result in propagation of the meme are preferred by the system. Never ascribe to intent what emergent behavior and individual's apathy can explain.
> If people who just memorize can outperform smart people, it just means that the one conducting the interview is not really smart, and so incapable of recognizing expertise.

No, it means that interviewing is a lousy way to select people and it's full of bias. We know this. We know that interviewing doesn't select the best candidate.
This makes no sense to me. Airlines are adding another option that is cheaper. How is that a bad thing? If I don't want the cheaper option, another airline will offer me a more comfortable one and I'll pay for it. What is there to be upset about here?
People vote with their dollars, many legs have multiple options and multiple seat options. Almost everyone goes with the cheapest option.

I've flow from NYC to Chicago $90 round trip. It's incredible how inexpensive flying as become.
Reminds me of Spamhaus. Are they still around? When I worked for an ISP we had to deal with them regularly. They'd happily hold you hostage over a single e-mail.
Having been recently "traped" insinde a plane at the gate for nearly 3 hours, that is my main concern. Personaly i would have no problem with such a standing seat for short 30-60min flights if boarding and deboarding plane-to-gate process is <15min.
I think your better comparison has reinforced my point that maybe I didn't convey clearly: If that secret spying doesn't cause any material harm to the individual, they are less likely to respond. Maybe some minor outrage of course, and some expressed displeasure for it to discontinue. Besides, going off of your hotel example, I imagine that if you explained to a Facebook group of parents that hey those videos you are all sharing of your little ones are being exposed to peeping Toms, you'd have a nice little outpouring of outrage.

Part of this is also the complete and utter failure of good journalism on tech issues. This is HN, we are all technologists here right? How many times have you read a NYT, WaPo, or some of the newer "media" like HuffPo reporting on some tech only to facepalm at the number of woeful inaccuracies and misrepresentation of the facts or situation, yet we are to trust them to report on complex privacy and security issues effectively? It's Gell-Mann amnesia over and over again.

They're saving that up for the next round of funding.
This may be a fair sentiment for an educational institution (you're not directly making money from email sending / hopefully admissions marketing doesn't have this problem), but as a candidate I'd be extremely concerned if a company I was going to work with A) couldn't deliver to gmail and B) held the view that it was everyone else's problem. As it is you're statistically leaving half the candidate pool at the door, which is recoverable. A biz that can't deliver to gmail is a terrible smell though.
Indeed, the spur for me to finally sign up for Fastmail was that I was applying for a job and I can't trust Google with crucial email. You get what you pay for.
I once interviewed with an airline (for an "enterprise architect" position). I had every single "skillset" they asked for (including the nice-to-haves), did well in the phone screen, they brought me on site for a four hour face-to-face interview. Then they asked me to come back again for another four hour face-to-face interview (with different people). They never called me back.
This is a nonsensical comparison. There's a difference between unavoidable risks and avoidable risks.

You take steps to minimize unavoidable risks like car travel (e.g. use car seats), but it ultimately you need to travel to function in society.

Measles is a completely avoidable risk. Vaccination and ultimately herd immunity provides a 100% level of protection against measles. We were close to eradicating it.
Cloudflare is a MiTM on the internet at large.
I don't think anyone suggested that all seats are going to be replaced by these.
I kind of agree with your point.

The way I foresee it is, if extracting every bit of value from manual labor becomes costly, for a business, that means comparatively the automation option is becoming cheaper. Subsidies / tax breaks etc for the businesses can ensure that manual labor in warehouses is not so easily replaced by automation. But that can only work until a certain point.

Problem is not with existing set of automation solutions. It is with making the future solutions for automation more attractive.

in future, if a fully automated warehouse is possible, then no one (from the society) get's to decide how a warehouse worker should be treated, because they don't exist.

It's like the elevator operators in the past (they dont exist in most countries if not any). That's how I see the current set of warehouse workers (they can get automated out even before truck/car drivers).
I'm also one of those oldfarts that insists on hosting my private emails for me and a few friends. I've owned the ip since early 2000's and have had zero "spam"/blacklist incidents. One trend I've been noticing is that Microsoft/Outlook have regularly started to block me. I have to contact their abuse which takes a day or so to get unblocked. To date, I've done so >10 times:

VPNs for everyone - literally the worst idea of all time
Haha this is a bit of an extreme reaction. I experienced the bug and yes, it’s frustrating. Though I don’t understand the mentality that “because I paid $X for this, I shouldn’t experience Y”. Bugs happen in large and small companies. People seem to forget that the device on their desk or in their pocket is an absolute marvel of technology and the fact it works at all is a minor miracle.
> if the two parties understand how to send encrypted messages over web clients, isn't that still secure ?

It is secure, except that metadata are open go Google. And metadata is the new data nowadays.
You can also take a look at the window_tab_rows example. It will allow you to modularize into isolated subcomponents which you can embed into the main component.
I'd suggest that regardless of your email provider, you should obsessively check your spam folder if you're expecting a job/internship/etc. offer. Every spam filter has false positives, and those sorts of messages can trip a lot of the heuristics tuned for actual spam.
I would want to try sitting in one sometime. Airlines might have a better time trying to push the idea if they can get mockups built that can be installed in terminals at major airlines. If it's actually not that bad, let people test it out. It looks terrible but so is sitting in a cramped airline chair with your knees jammed into the seatback. If the vertical seat at least gave the illusion of more room in the sense that you aren't physically pressed up against anything, it might feel more comfortable. Another issue with the vertical seats is that everyone is a different height and therefore a different inseam length, how do you accommodate shorter people and children while also fitting tall people in? Having the saddle/seat being able to move up and down like an office chair would help.
I fear this will lead to the same problem: If it’s interesting enough for Google, they will offer a free service, gobble up a large number of users, at which point they can hold the new protocol hostage, add their own extensions, and everyone else must follow.
Not that this is a good solution, but it is a semi-practical countermeasure: mashing the power button 5 times on an iPhone disables all biometrics immediately, starts an audible siren countdown, and calls 911 if not dismissed. Holding power + volume up for a few seconds disables biometrics silently. I long ago enabled the "10 failed logins in a row deletes the phone" toggle.

edit: There are two ways to disable biometrics for post-iPhoneX models, which are described above. Pre iPhoneX, there is no panic-mode-with-a-siren, but 5 clicks of the power button will disable biometrics.

I routinely do this before i go through the TSA complimentary-preflight-massage line, when i'm within about 50 miles of the mexico border, and whenever i'm pulled over at a traffic stop.

and i'm not even doing anything particularly interesting.

At least this case involved An Actual Warrant. It's not the best, but it's a whole lot better than the no-warrant scenario.

I wonder too if its also someone who wanted to avoid the confrontation of having to make the decision. "We've noticed you've been under-performing and you haven't been meeting your quotas for the past x weeks" vs "The tracking system has determined that you have been under performing and so we have to let you go." It may seem close to the same, but its always easier to say it was someone else or something that decided instead of you.

One can strongly favor vaccination (and favor prohibiting activities such as attending public schools absent vaccination without specific medical reasons) without favoring deportation for anyone who doesn't submit to forced vaccination--which I'm pretty sure would be unconstitutional for citizens.
This is really interesting (and horrifying - I'm sorry you had to go through that).

I find it very curious how much these neural-net-driven visualizations map onto human neurological experiences - for example, deep dream resembling an acid trip. That makes me feel like, at least on a cursory level, that neural nets are a step in the right direction to meeting "human intelligence".
I was all around the city and a little out into the countryside for about 5 days. That time did overlap with the major mid-spring holiday in China, so maybe they went all-out with cleaning it up before tourists from other cities poured in.

I did see shoddily constructed and shabby little shacks that line some streets, yeah, but in terms of litter, I saw nothing. Although I did see one guy throw a bottle on the ground and immediately have two police grab him.

Coming home to my city in Japan and I was made incredibly aware of cigarette butts, empty coffee cans, full bottles of piss, and discarded conbini food packaging everywhere. It's definitely not California levels of wasteland here, but it's also not as clean as my time in China.
Doh. My bad for being a dummy.

165kb is still fairly big for a minimal example, much smaller than 1.17MB though, compared to React for example. Are there ways to analyze what contributes to the size for WASM compiled projects? I guess wasm-bindgen contributes significantly to the size currently.

EDIT: It's 68KB gzipped and 165KB is the uncompressed size. One great benefit of WASM is that as described in "Making WebAssembly even faster: Firefox’s new streaming and tiering compiler"[0] it's much faster than JS to parse and execute.

> Apple's bad rep is probably due to high pricing, tech lock-in, horrible apple store experience, bad behavior regarding right-to-repair, pretty bad software overall.

How times have changed. It wasn't long ago that many of us (myself included) were saying virtually the same thing about Microsoft's product.
The conclusion is contrary to the evidence presented.

> companies untouched by scandal — including Microsoft —
> prospered in the eyes of consumers

Except that Amazon, which has gotten a bit of a black eye later (HQ2 + worker treatment + antitrust), has stayed steady near the very top of the cited poll. Apple, which has had few such problems, has sunk from near the top to #32. When you only have eight samples to begin with, and two strongly contradict your theory, your theory sucks. Microsoft in particular is doing relatively well for a variety of reasons, but not because of this one.

So is there, then, a market for an airline that offers substantially more legroom and larger seats (biz-class-size for the entire plane?) for a slight increase in price?

Aforementioned Delta Airlines had $1.3bn in PROFITS last year, so not sure about razor-thin margins.
Am I the only one who thinks standing for shorter flights of < 3 hours would be healthier and more comfortable? I work regularly at a standing desk, sitting for too long makes me feel lethargic and often causes headaches for me (it's much easier to have good posture, neck and back alignment when standing). For longer flights, people need a seat, but for shorter flights I would gladly pay the same price to be able to stand instead.
You sound like an optimist. My take is that airlines are adding a worse option for the price they currently charge, which lets them charge more for the current options.
You can if you want, but I don't usually bother. All of the solids will settle out to the bottom anyway if you let it cool down to room temperature before freezing. If you want to go the filter route, a cheesecloth would likely be good enough.
IANAMD, but after looking at the vaccination plan for children last week, my guess would be that there's so many vaccines to be taken in the first two years of life that they have to sort it by priority and space out to balance risk of catching a disease with risk of overloading the body.

Those terms don’t have the meanings you’re using. Being a data structure is not a distinguishing factor – try finding a common definition which excludes Git – and there’s no definition of the term which excludes modifications.

> Not having a file system raises the question of what data should be persistent and what shouldn't. But on a modern computer, it is feasible to just treat all data as persistent (maybe excluding the youngest GC generation).

I'd be concerned about the UX issue of ephemeral vs. permanent changes here. I doubt that files and save/revert operations are the best we can do, but I think there's a lot of value in the fact that some pattern for it exists that's common to most applications. Perhaps this has already been tackled in some system that doesn't natively use the concept of disk files. It could be as simple as having a pattern to assign names to persistent copies of objects, or something more sophisticated like assigning names to points in an undo tree that are then transparently converted into self-contained objects when the tree is pruned.
> Airlines are adding another option that is cheaper. How is that a bad thing?

No, they’re going to make this the new default setting. The regular crappy seat you enjoy today will become the “economy premium” option and cost more.

> If I don't want the cheaper option, another airline will offer me a more comfortable one and I'll pay for it.

Assuming they go where you’re going in the timeframe you’re expecting. And assuming they don’t just move in lock-step with their other competitors and make these new seats the default.

> Could it be done without crypto? Almost certainly. But I think the article's flyby description gives the thing room to sound much sillier than it really is.

The particular irony here is that blockchains are a giant waste of energy compared to non-blockchain approaches, so of all the things to say “Do X with blockchain” about, “Reduce carbon emissions” is an odd choice.

If it were me I’d think you’d want to put I extra effort to not have a blockchain based solution, but I have a feeling the idea cane about from “what can we do with a blockchain” rather than “what is the best solution to this problem?”
That honestly seems conservative. The times I've missed an entire night I've been essentially useless or an actual detriment.
