I don't mean to derail this even further but I'm going to anyway. My gut reaction is...So what?

Landlords will absolutely hammer tenants over even the slightest thing in a lease (so will tenants, for certain). To require that the contract the landlord puts forward be actually legal and reasonable does not move me in the slightest. The landlord has almost all of the power, both economic and market-moving, and is under no requirement to fairly negotiate a lease with a prospective tenant. This might not be a problem in areas with a glut of rental properties but it is for sure a problem in areas with a glut of prospective tenants.

By way of example, I'm living under a lease right now that was presented on take-it-or-leave-it conditions but that I cannot ever fulfill due to at least four requirements I read in it. The most hilarious is the requirement that my pet be covered by a pet license "issued by [local county] for household pets" and failure to have such a license is deemed "a material violation of the lease," subject to immediate notice to vacate when the landlord so chooses. The problem is, I can't ever do that because the county listed happens to contain the city I am in but the county does not issue pet licenses to residents of my city. Only my city does, but the lease does not require a city license; only a county one.
If you were wondering how lasers are involved, this is from the abstract of the paper:

>Here, we give a proof of concept of a compact radio frequency transmitter based on a semiconductor laser frequency comb. In this laser, the beating among the coherent modes oscillating inside the cavity generates a radio frequency current, which couples to the electrodes of the device. We show that redesigning the top contact of the laser allows one to exploit the internal oscillatory current to drive a dipole antenna, which radiates into free space. In addition, direct modulation of the laser current permits encoding a signal in the radiated radio frequency carrier. Working in the opposite direction, the antenna can receive an external radio frequency signal, couple it to the active region, and injection lock the laser. These results pave the way for applications and functionality in optical frequency combs, such as wireless radio communication and wireless synchronization to a reference source.
I think people misinterpret Google's vision as neutral:

"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful"

They want to make Laplace's Demon real in the form of their publicly traded company. That's a breathtaking vision statement.

They explicitly want to collect every piece of information on everything that happens worldwide, and then influence how that information is used. "Useful" is in the eye of the beholder and is the wonderful escape command that lets them do anything they want.

If that doesn't inspire/terrify you then it should.
Intel to Launch 7nm Process in 2021, 7nm Xe Graphics, Ice Lake Architecture
I found this true as well.

However, the actual effects are nice. I did notice some flashing with the "bubble" animation on Mobile Safari (probably a browser quirk). Though others like "slide" appear smooth and sleek.
Yeah, anything was better than ISA and IDE. But a PC with PCI and SCSI was much closer to SPARC/Alpha/MIPS/etc. performance at 1/Nth the price.
This is a chief reason why urban agriculture is at best of limited viability.
Everyone could stand to learn the lessons of gcc.

Back in the '90s, when gcc really took off, it got a lot of attention for being faster and optimizing code better than anything else out there. It wasn't just free: it was _better_. Of course, the 'free' part helped too, but the only 'free' people cared about was as in beer, not speech. This was when Sun was charging $$$$ for C compiler licenses on top of the operating system. So you could buy Sun's cc for massive amounts of money... or get a _better_ product without having to shell out. No wonder gcc won.

And if you look down the road to the 2010s, when LLVM/clang is eating gcc's lunch, you have to wonder what went wrong. What went wrong was that gcc fell behind for ideological reasons. RMS categorically refused to allow gcc's frontends to output the AST on the grounds that proprietary tools could make use gcc's output. The developers of LLVM and clang, on the other hand, had no such qualms. Being able to get an AST out of clang meant you could have IDEs compiler-assisted syntax highlighting and real-time error checking, things that gcc will never have for ideological reasons.

gcc succeeded when it was better than the competition and faltered when it was worse, and freedom had nothing to do with it.
Absolutely needing a car sounds like a very US centric problem where public transport seems to be very underdeveloped. I know very few car owners who is in that situation but then again, in my country the public transportation network is amazing.
I think that the OP is looking for a standard/container based enterprise platform, so I would install both since only both provide the complete solution.

I.e. install and standardize on both, but start using features as needed (of course).

I.e. I would rather find out any architecture issues with istio sooner, than trying to bolt it on top of some kuberentes only app.
100gbps is a bit more than a PR approved statement! It wasn’t much too long ago that AWS guaranteed any kind of bandwidth beyond a gig.
Linux was built in an era of fierce resistance from the corporate world, so what is there to save today when everything runs or touches OSS in one way or another and most decent developers will make an OSS contribution, to claim on their CVs?
> Google collects so much absurd amount of data - that all the Proton-mail, DuckduckGo, Wire/Signal, Firefox (loaded with adblocking and tracking plugins) apps in the world can't keep you totally from it as long as you're on Android. You disable things, you opt out of stuff and it just keeps on collecting anyways.

There must be some kind of way outta here.

How about carving out a Google-free chunk of the web, and then only visiting sites for which you're somehow certain there's zero Google in them (no Google Analytics, no DoubleClick, no fonts, none of the other junk they use to track you). Otherwise you'd be slapped in the face by a dire warning akin to those for the expired SSL certificates.

Would that be crazy?
For one, it's single threaded (last I checked). It also seems to be built on a big heap of messy Java.

Check out Cuberite for comparison. It's a Minecraft server built from the ground up in C++ and it's waaaaaaaay faster than the official server. Advantages of a rewrite I suppose...

The State of the American Debt Slaves, Q1 2019
I think you & the parent are both correct, despite holding opinions that are poles apart.

Certainly in the kinds of things we are allowed to watch, we are more free than ever before. For instance, wikipedia says the adult entertainment industry is atleast 50 years old, but the kind of material you can access today without fear of repercussions is beyond precedent. For instance, any adult site will happily serve hundreds of atm clips. Even 20 years ago, the term atm was practically unknown, and certainly you couldn’t get performers to engage in atm, let alone film it & host it online.

At the same time, what is and isn’t permissible for discussion in the public sphere has narrowed rather sharply. Especially in academia, this kind of hypocrisy & doublespeak is so blatant & overt, it makes you wonder what else is being swept under the rug. We had an incident at the stat seminar a few weeks back. A Stanford professor was interrupted by one of our professors who simply said “i don’t like lasso”. This became full blown drama, statisticians thumping desks and saying “hear hear” & so forth. What should have been an educational lecture in penalties & their properties got shut down by the moderator! If one can’t even discuss harmless on-point topic like this in an academic setting, what is the point of freedom of speech & rest of the machinery ? Are we so scared of causing offence ?
Yes, HN does tend to have a collective bias towards logic and reason, and against wild conspiracy theories.
If someone blows up a reactor of this design, it will start shutting down. Meltdown shouldn't happen even if the core is badly hit, but additional cooling besides the pool may be needed. Safer than Fukushima which withstood a tsunami and operational failure with little environmental damage. (Though big economical.)

The more important risk is of theft of fissible material.
Please accept my apologies. I can see I've been unclear.

The situation you call for, depending largely upon income taxes for government revenue, is the status quo in California. As you correctly note there are property taxes. However, they comprise a lower percentage of state revenues than is typical among states. This situation has produced the aforementioned side-effects.

I do hope that is clearer. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
This article is uncritical.

In particular it doesn't mention the critical problem that Google makes its money from advertising, not from people who pay for premium phones or premium services. That is, you are still the product.

I recognize social positives from advertising, but there is a fundamental conflict when you are dependent on "free" services paid for by a third party.

Cruise will be a tech provider like Waymo.

While owned by General Motors, no. But with Softbank buying in, maybe GM is backing away from Cruise.

Is this another the Saudi Arabia sovereign wealth fund investment via Softbank? They seem to have become the world's largest source of dumb money.

Is there anybody, anywhere, yet who is deploying self-driving cars without "safety drivers" or insisting the driver remain active at the wheel? Cruise, no. Waymo, did for a while, then backed off. Volvo was supposed to be deploying by now but backed off. There are a few self-driving shuttle buses, but they're really slow, like 10mph, except when on dedicated pathways.

Companies that are claiming they will deploy in volume in the next two years are bullshitting. Nobody has Level 3 self driving working reliably in test yet. Let alone Level 4 or 5.
Probably depends on where you draw the line for "road" vs "emergent footpath" and "car" vs "wheeled vehicle".

tbh I really don't know, but if you argue for reinforced surface + moving people with wheels and pulled by an animal, you might have "cars" before "roads".
Rather what is considered good UI and ease of use is sub-optimal for people who understand tech, and those are the people who write free software for themselves and others like them. (Why would you spend months making some UI that in the end requires a minute of manual labor to do what some piece of syntax in a config file achieves in seconds, and which can be diffed to the previous version and so on.)

There are good examples of UI in free software. There are also terrible examples of UI in proprietary software. A lot of the peculiar user experience in GNU/Linux is that way because it was cloned quite exactly from a proprietary system called Unix. A lot of that bad user experience is standardized with an IEEE standard called POSIX, which isn't free.
This seems to be confirmed by the IOPS numbers in the documentation:

Every company has two mission statements: The stated one and the real one. Google's real mission statement is "make shitloads of money selling everyone's personal information to advertisers."

The noises Google makes about being "useful" are just cover for the fact that being useful is the only way they can entice everyone to give them that personal information for free. If Google could get a law passed that required everyone to have a grain-of-rice sized Android tracker implanted in their body, Google would do it in a heartbeat. And then the need for all that expensive "usefulness" would be over.
drastically at odds with Corporate nature and Corporate history.
There are similarities - but I don't think he works in adtech. (Based on this article, and as far as I can tell.)
I'm not accusing... but I'm struggling to see how this isn't just an ad.
Not a fan of paypal but can't fault them. Refund costs twice the work. There's the cost of the initial transaction, then the cost of a refund. If someone used a CC to pay and it went through the card's network, the card network will charge paypal for both the transaction and the refund. It's sort of like a physical return, if you shipped it, there's a shipping cost to and from the customer. Question becomes who should eat that cost? The payment processor, the seller or the buyer? Frankly. I don't believe it's the payment processor. If the buyer is the cause of the refund then they should eat the cost. If the seller is the cause, then the seller should. Unfortunately this is now how things are currently done, but that's how I personally feel about it.
Added: I really do not know why so many people are claiming that this piece of news have been censored in China, I saw the coverage at noon on May 7th on many mainstream medias, and every move from the U.S were also reported, along with every response from the press briefing of Chinese diplomat department. The latest coverage of it is also from People' s Daily about China' s retaliation response: https://weibo.com/2803301701/HtiphBxKZ , it was referenced and reported by all major mainstream medias i follow, so what did I miss?
> the converse could be Google using our data for malicious purposes. Has there been any evidence of that? I have not seen any.

You are right. I have not seen any evidence of this yet either. What frightens me is that IF something happens and Google is compelled or chooses to give that data to an entity to use maliciously there will be nothing we can do.

As I look at it: It is dangerous for that much data about that many people to exist in one place period.
I encourage you and people who share the same opinion as you to read alternative perspectives on the matter [1]. One should not be so quick to assume that Africans don't know what they are doing and don't know what's best for themselves.

I think there's also a distinction about what you get in return.

When I let Google track my location, I get useful hyper relevant results for searches. When I let it track my emails, I get useful flight reminders and package delivery notifications.

But Facebook doesn't really need to track my location to offer the service I want from it, the extra privacy invasion very specifically only helps advertisers. By giving it access to my contact list I can add friends more easily which is nice, but it also does so much more analysis of my extended offline friend network than I want it to, which feels like it hurts me more than it helps me.

Both companies are monetizing my private data, but with Google it feels like I get enough out of the deal that I'll (sometimes grudgingly) allow it. With Facebook I feel like it's an adversarial relationship where I have to constantly defend myself from FB. Obviously each person's valuation of the deal will be different; for some people there's no amount of usefulness Google could offer to justify the data they collect. But I suspect for many people Google is on the right side of the usefulness to creepiness ratio.

SoftBank was already a big investor in Cruise.
Many people do live there, just more spread out.

It's not degrading city centers, you still need trucks to stock your stores, you still need tourism.

If everyone that lived in the city centers took public transportation, the already built roads would be freed for foreign traffic.

As you say, there's nobody living in rural areas so they wouldn't have a huge impact on the roads. They can share it with the buses and trucks.

I see this kind of elitism of urban > rural a lot here.
No, I don't have that lifestyle. Except for house everything is paid off. Live relatively frugally except for eating out a few times a month (no expensive restaurants $12/person max)
> However, if you like it, you can create similar exclusion zone near to you. Just vote for nuclear power and wait until next nuclear disaster.

Reminder that coal has more radioactive waste over a decade than a nuclear plant does in its worst failure mode; and that worst failure mode is very unlikely with modern reactor designs (unlike Chernobyl and Fukushima)
The idea is that if you cut a tree down and burn it, the tree that grows in its place will just soak the carbon right back up again. When trees die and rot, the carbon gets released too.

From https://www.oaklandca.gov/resources/bike-to-work-day

Besides being fun, biking to work is good for your health and for the environment. Take a look at all the benefits of riding a bike!

Reduce air pollution: In the Bay Area, 43% of all car trips are two miles or shorter. For short trips, bicycling is an important tool to reduce air pollution: up to 70% of emissions from a 10-mile trip occur within the first mile.
Stay healthy and fit: Bicycling to work is a great way to get exercise every day. The well-documented obesity epidemic contributes to heart disease, cancer, stroke and type 2 diabetes, which together make up 40% of the leading causes of death in Oakland.
Save money: With gas prices unlikely to decline in the long-term, bicycling makes more financial sense than ever; a bike’s annual operating cost is estimated to be $120 (as opposed to. $5,000-12,000 for a car).
Ease street congestion: Twelve bicycles can fit in the space needed to park a single car.
It's not bikes, it's a moped.

For about the same money you'd spend on one of those scooters you can easily get a used motorcycle that will be far more comfortable and performant, it just requires a valid license.
OCI+k8s is the standard but Docker may not be the best OCI implementation for you. Choose which k8s distro you want then use whatever runtime is included with that so you don't pay double.
This company is really famous for selling really expensive "upgrades" that do very little for actual speed.

The resistance of the chain & pulleys is a very tiny percentage of the whole unless they're gunked up and not maintained/lubricated or are broken.

Pretty much all mechanical resistance on a bike is dwarfed by aerodynamic resistance. When the aerodynamic resistance is broken down the contribution of the bike is dwarfed by the contribution from the rider and his/her body position on the bike. When you start getting into the resistance from gear the helmet & clothes are more significant than the bike.

None of this stops them from selling $10,000 bikes to amateurs who are slow though.

It is free but hard work to go on a core strength + flexibility program that lets you access more aerodynamic riding posture. Working with a good fitter/coach will cost a little but help get there with less guesswork. Everything about getting fast on a bike is harder work than buying stuff.
OpenJDK is like 90% developed by Oracle with smaller contributions from other partners in the Java community, including the JEPs that bring Java forward.

I have a boosted board and I have been wanting to exchange it for a onewheel.
I am a bit more worried about the OW failure states though :

For example what happens if the battery dies ? since the OW balances itself, I fear it would be worse than a boosted (for which you are already potentially in a tight spot but you might be able to slow down manually) .
There is truth in the post, but I wish the author went into more-specific details.
What about them? Other than ads in public spaces, which I think shouldn't be permitted, they're avoidable.
Putting people on [existing, widely deployed and practical solution] makes no sense when [improbable and technologically infeasible thing that doesn't exist while also fudging the numbers].
So I shouldn't complain? You vote for a senator and that person does not do what they promised to do and acts against your interests. Would you not raise your voice against them even in private about the situation? I'm still going about my job but just raising awareness here.
The last couple of days I've been learning a little more about China's emerging surveillance state and while terrifying to think about and worse sad knowing they're building essentially concentration camps, I am wondering how effective are China's policies.

i.e. does China's investment and push towards a controlled society actually come out ahead compared to if they didn't?

Without looking at any figures, surely policing the internet, building large re-education camps, and employing a whole lot of social police gobbles up a lot of resources. The people employed could be doing something else productive right?

So would the safety gained from their extreme surveillance state increase over all productivity due to less violence or lower productivity because the net gain from a safer society is less than what would be gained if the resources were distributed to other societal needs like healthcare and infrastructure?
Still cool, but a repost :)
As a lifelong Android user, I'm pretty close to switching to Apple/iOS because of Google's gross surveillance behavior. I used to have the same qualms about the lack of features or components, but I recently began to see those complaints as pedantic.
