Electric motorbikes – the future of affordable shared transportation?
I find it really interested to hear this sort of thing - how two people experiencing the same thing have completely different views. For context, I moved to near San Jose from Cambridge (UK) and love where I live.

I have friends in SF paying the same rent for way less space. I can drive to surf or mountain bike in 30 mins and it’s not too bad to go ski. I can keep a motorbike in my garage along with my car, and a desk and computer to hack about with electronics. I’m six miles from work and can ride a motor or leg bike to work, or drive, or get a Lyft if I’ve had some beers in the pubs that are near my office. There’s tonnes of restaurants of all sort nearby and a number of bars and restaurants 10-30 mins walk away. I can get to SF in about an hour, thought most concerts I want to see are in Berkeley which is a bit further. If even that’s not enough, I’m 15 minutes from SJC so can get to anywhere in the world about as easily as it’s possible for anyone to. Houses are low and flat, but the diversity of styles and the care put into people gardens (the smell of the flowers!) is wonderful. There are three free libraries where people have installed book shelves and benches in their front yards for people to stop by. My town has a few parks that are always full of people, and I can bike to others if I feel like it on the weekend. There’s a store for anything I want within 20 mins. Despite what the article says, towns do have a sense of there and identity, it’s just more diffuse and less obvious.

I’m not trying to take away anything from people who prefer to live in SF, but there’s a lot of us who live in the valley proper and love it here. The meme that there’s nothing of value here and fun comes to San Jose to die seems very popular on the internet.
That's a stage race, that happens a lot. Help me win my war and I'll let you reap the spoils of the battle.

But in a 1 day like the national championship I really do not think that such verbal agreements are valid at all. Ok, I've never raced, but I've watched a lot of racing and have literally seen this scenario happen multiple times to just one rider alone (Peter Sagan). He was/is often the strongest rider but was on a bad team and was prone to tactical mistakes when he was younger, so he would do a lot of the pulling and get screwed at the end. Nobody wanted to see Sagan lose, but nobody called the winners cheaters either.
It's an ongoing reminder that the Silicon Valley point of view isn't the only—or best—one.

I grew up dirt poor in the Deep South. My wife is diabetic. People need the perspective. If that's flamebait, maybe I'm not the one who's in the wrong.

Also it seems like you're ignoring your own "don't post shallow dismissals" rule.
Diving usually happens to me when I resume coffee consumption after going dry for a few days :-)

Right now I am staying in the python world, that I know well, and appreciate its introspection capabilities. I play with OpenGL and PyQt to display in 3d the code of objects loaded in memory. It was surprisingly easy to do. When I first tried, 15 years ago, that was more of a mess.

Now I mentioned CRDT but I was not thinking on raw text but using nodes of the scene graph as characters. I like the idea of insertions and deletions that keep invisible tombstones available.
So, lots of open-source UIs that use closed-source servers for collaborative editing?

This figures. This is one of the ways 'open source' companies can make money.

So, the author sets about making an open-source collaboration server that inter-operates with the existing open-source editor?

Kudos!

But now the company can retaliate by adding features or inconsistencies to the closed source server and its integration into the UI, making the open-source server forever out-of-date and playing catch-up.

Ouch.

Mvfst: An implementation of the QUIC transport protocol from FB
This is an interesting question. As another poster said, to do this we would probably have to rebuild most of modern civilization. Leaving instructions to do that seem almost impossible.

I honestly think though that leaving behind a detailed record of what is possible and how things used to be would be very valuable in this situation though. Just letting people know computers did exist and did require electricity and what electricity was and that we used to burn something called coal to make it would for sure speed up a future civilizations research dramatically.
See, speed was never my issue - terminal is plenty fast enough as I tend to not output more than I can mentally process. What matters to me is consistency of function and ease of use. And I pointed out pretty much all the reasons why for me Terminal was best. I never tried anything else on MacOS because I didn't have any need. Another thing I didn't mention is security - MacOS comes with integrated Keychain out of the box. Even Linux servers are still annoying in that regard with ssh-agent, as it doesn't unlock Keychain with SSO. On Windows I just gave up and use password-less id files on an encrypted drive.
I think "cultural wasteland" is stretching it a bit. A big part of culture is food, and SV is anything but a wasteland when it comes to food.
Interesting — this article was posted earlier today (was up around 9:30 AM PT) and was quickly flagged/dead. I assume this is because of the very clickbait-y title, which you can see in the URL ("alexa has been eavesdropping you this whole time"). I guess WaPo's A/B testing system for article titles is working, since this poster chose a different title.

What confuses me is why it's not duped or just funneled into the prior flagged/dead article (which I cannot find via the algolia search either, for some reason.
I hope I'm not being offbeat by self promoting but I currently am working on v2 of Unreplied, a Mac app I released two years ago that uses a status bar menu to show you iMessages/SMS from people you haven't replied to yet (including messages you've already read). The elevator pitch is imagine someone asking you if you want to hang out sometime. Depending on how busy you are at the moment you may not have time to check your calendar or reply with a confident answer, so you push it off till later. Inevitably you forget entirely and end up accidentally ghosting whoever asked you.

Slack and some email clients seem to do a good job of avoiding this by offering "remind me in X..." options, but those are solutions that users actively have to seek. Unreplied works passively in the background so there's no input required to generate the list.

Obviously there's no iMessage on Windows, but the concept behind the app remains unexplored on all platforms IMO. I think it would be very useful if all chat clients implemented some sort of "left on read" filter.
Something about this whole article is bullshit. In fact, it could be a planted story BY NSA.

The Shadow Brokers released source code and the USA still doesn't know how it was leaked. There's no source code in an "interception".
I really can’t understand this. Even if they actually fired her for being pregnant, what’s wrong with it?

Where’s the freedom to work with whoever I want to?

Say a women works for me and her work entails lifting heavy stuff. I only have her as my employee and she gets pregnant so she can’t do the job anymore.

Am I required by law to employ someone who can’t do what they were hired to do?

I’m not saying this is good behavior on Amazon’s part. Actually it could even be called despicable, but I don't think that forcing people to do things against their will is good and, as a matter o fact, legal.
In the context of Riot games and software engineering salaries, wages are still higher than many jobs. According to Paysa Riot games software engineers still make $155K TC on average (https://www.paysa.com/salaries/riot-games--software-engineer). This is lower than FAANG and Unicorn start-ups, but calling it so low it'd be hard to bring in scabs is a stretch at best...
The only thing the state has control over is if it observes daylight savings time. Changing to a different time zone requires the Dept. of Transportation to approve of the change.

This is one of the things that makes this so complicated... most of the bills are “asking” the state government to petition the federal government to make a change. And it isn’t guaranteed that the DOT will approve the switch.

Even more complicated... the state can only control whether or not to observe DST. It can’t control the start/stop of DST, so if California wants to always be at UTC-7 (the current PDT), it couldn’t just decide to always be in PDT. It would need to petition the DOT to be moved to MST and then to not observe DST.

This is pretty dumb. In what world should Boston and New York City be in different time zones? And Long Island in a different time zone than Connecticut.
Thanks for the feedback! I haven't actually looked into doing things in the actual video overlay but I think this could actually be doable (on desktop at least). The scrubber and all controls are handled via videojs (on desktop) and even if I couldn't add things to it I could just alter one of the existing action options that are available and restyle the icon.

Haven't actually looked into the videojs UI options at all, mind.
Microsoft, just take iTerm2 on macOS, and do the exact same thing. Splits, tabs, everything. And then use that for WSL as well. Here, you can fire your PMs, I told you exactly what you need to do.
With Tim Duncan retired, I can't think of a center or power forward with enough moves to post up and score reliably. Guys will talk about spending their whole offseason refining their post-up game, and that just means they learned a drop-step...

The high pick-and-roll and four-out sets everyone runs now are pretty monotonous.

The worst part is the style spills over to the way ordinary people play in pickup and rec ball. Not many with the requisite talents at that level, but boy do they try.
This is off by default afaik - it can be whitelisted via group policy in an organization (like already today).

Windows environments can be managed pretty well centrally via group policies- it's actually one of the reasons Active Directory is the defacto standard.
I've interviewed with Riot a couple of times and it's always been an interesting experience. The first time I interviewed the recruiter basically hung up on me in the phone screen after 20 minutes because I hadn't played League of Legends.
What do you mean by a white list? The connections are coming from local host (from your browser). The fact that they were initiated by code which was downloaded from malware.com is not knowable to docker.
Ah, yeah, looking for something for my home office (hence the preference for no screaming 1U fans), so I wouldn't have very long runs. But I have heard that 10 GbE RJ45 can be finicky.

Aside from a bit of apex, I only use Ubuntu and chrome on my cpu 99% of the time. The fact that I can boot into windows and then press three keys (win u enter) means there's effectively no overhead (if we pretend windows doesn't just upgrade against your will). But I can still play apex. Afaik I can't do that on Linux and thus windows is justified.

I don't see this as a loss for Linux. I see it as Microsoft bridging a gap (albeit a gap they deliberately created) that Linux hasn't yet. If I could do it the other way around (Linux running windows) then maybe I would but when I created this setup some years ago I couldn't so... Yeah idk this way Linux at least gets to be a part of my life.

What an awful article. It completely ignores the ground truth of most suburban and urban environments -- in many places you can be heavily fined for not upkeeping a lawn. Even if we ignore that, the "numbers" don't prove themselves out for having anything but a lawn. I would never make back the time invested in growing anything agriculture related.

Not only that, I would limit my kid's (already limited) space in which they could "run free" by having high grasses growing. I too have two small kids, I don't water, feed, or otherwise treat my lawn other then cutting it and still spend more then an hour per week with less than half and acre. Now the author wants me to invest time or money in agriculture that will never pay back and take more time out of my life?

This is coming from someone who studied the advent of lawns both in an academic and professional setting.

Microsoft have been very good at figuring out which features they need to add for developers, but the actual experience of using Windows is not great.

Part of the problem is that they are adding stuff without taking anything away. My Windows development machine manages to be both overstuffed with multiple shells, run-times etc., and have quirks or issues with almost everything that I care about. I just want a Bash shell, Python, SSH and a package manager that all work.
In a case like this when you can’t go in and arrest someone who is attacking your country and lives are at stake, there’s not a lot of options besides dropping a bomb on them.
... and when you get down into the details, there are significant differences in what Rust is doing as opposed to these languages, even if the high level idea is roughly the same.

Ask HN: How do you communicate with customers?
Hello guys
I'm sure you must have faced similar situation in your start-ups as well.

Me and my partner are doing a small online e-commerce business that is mainly done via social media.

In a single day I have to talk and message with nearly 30-40 people and I find it difficult to communicate and focus on other work and my day job at the same time.

How are you guys managing your time in talking to customers and focusing on other tasks of your business?

The problem we fear is that if there is a delay in contacting the customers they might go to one of our competitors.

I'd love to hear from you guys in how you deal with customer messages.

Cheers
Interesting implementation. How did the buffers survive process crash? Is that a side-effect of get_user_pages or did you have a userspace daemon?

>We can't trust Amnesty international not to toe the US party line on China...because the US government thinks they're biased against the US government.
>I've been on HN since 2011. This is without a doubt the single worst argument I have ever seen.

Well yes, that is a pretty bad argument. I wonder who would claim such a thing? I certainly never have.

Anyway, this is not a very substantive post and it feels as though you’re just struggling to get the last word now.

I’m going to copy and paste my previous comment because everything I’ve said still applies here and you have still failed to address it:

> Again with the arguing against straw-men. Show me the part where I say Amnesty International is biased towards the US. I simply state that there is precedence of bias, and my source [2] clearly demonstrates this. The purpose of that reference was that these are not organizations which are 100%, indisputably neutral and without bias. It's unproductive to put words in my mouth only to argue against them.

If you require further clarification to aid in your comprehension, I will do my best to break it down for you.

> r/iamverysmart is that way.

I like how you came back 15 minutes later to add this line. That was a great comeback. I liked it, why delete it?
Don't install k8s. Use it managed. It's best that way. Too many moving parts for a small op to manage.
Thanks for responding! That totally makes sense. I am a bit wary about these sorts of things because even my small-time (under 100k users) Chrome extension has had offers for data collection/infiltration. So when I read a privacy policy that doesn't disclaim browsing history monetization, I figure it's probably because it's happening. Glad to hear that's not the case!
How to Install Oracle VirtualBox 6.0 in OpenSUSE
Parent probably was referring to reading it on a laptop or similar, which many people do. (I also read it this way).

I use the SimpleComic reader on OSX, first removing the menu and then fullscreening it. This requires me to download the manga beforehand. It works for me since I don't read that much manga.

Now that I have an ipad I wonder how well it could work.
It would cache data off-machine into fault-tolerant storage.

If the machine broke I would like to go to any other machine and resume work within a few seconds without losing any data.

If my machine was stolen I would like it to be totally unusable after a short time - so nobody would bother to steal it.

I would like the machine to recognize me, through some mechanism (fingerprints, retina scan, DNA - who knows) so I don't need passwords.

This seems to be a combination of what‘s possible with chromebooks + smartphone (not stolen much anymore because of Find My iPhone etc.) + Touch ID on the macbooks.
How so? I live on the West coast of the US. I want to call my friend on the East coast of the US. It's 9 PM (21:00) where I am. What time is it there? Is it too late to call them? Thanks to time zones I look up what time it is on the East Coast, 12:00 AM (00:00). When it's 12:00 AM (00:00) on the West coast I know it's really late so that means it's probably too late to call my friend on the East coast.

Now in a world without time zones.

It's now 21:00 where I am (AM/PM doesn't make much sense anymore). What time is it there? It's 21:00. It's 21:00 everywhere on Earth. Does 21:00 mean really late on the East coast? Not sure. Time zones help us answer "What time is it?" or maybe better put "What time does it feel like right now?" with answers of (usually) "morning, the sun is about to rise or has risen recently", "midday, the sun is at it's highest point", "evening, the sun is about to set or has set", "night, the sun has set or hasn't risen yet". Time zones make it easier to know "Where is the sun right now?" in any area of the world.

Yeah, with one global standard time we can always just refer to a day night map (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html) to figure out if it's too late to call someone or schedule a meeting but I feel like it's easier with our current time zone system. I can easily remember if it's too late to call someone somewhere if I remember what their time zone offset is compared to me. East coast is +3 hours, so it's 12 AM there, too late to call. London is +8 hours, so it's 5 AM there, too early to call. Bangkok is +14, so it's 11 AM there, I can call!
