A month ago I finally switched away from G Suite to FastMail and have been very happy. I also transferred my domains over to Gandi so I am basically Google free from a services perspective (with the exception of a Google account for YouTube subscriptions).

I have to say FastMail works really well on my Apple devices. iOS and macOS have worked perfectly so far for mail, calendar and contacts.

The only pain point was 'losing' my custom domain Google Account when I cancelled G Suite. Migrating mail, etc. wasn't an issue as FastMail has a pretty solid import tool. However one area that caught me out was export/import of my 800+ YouTube subscriptions (that number shocked me aswell).

Turns out YouTube has no such functionality so I ended up having to hack a semi-automated solution but even that wasn't straight forward as YouTube has limits on how many new subscriptions you can make in a ~6 hour window.

I wish Google had some kind of "convert my G Suite account into a consumer Google Account" function instead the moment you cancel the G Suite plan any accounts simply vanish and you then have to sign up again for a consumer Google Account. Quite the pain in the ass.

Anyway it is nice to be free from Google's core services and I am very impressed with how smooth migrating to FastMail has been. If anyone is thinking of doing the same and wants to know anything specific feel free to drop me an email, info in HN profile.

Where do most crashes overall occur?

As in all automation, the edge cases won't always apply, and the option to disable should be available.
It seems like a lot of the comments are here from Swedes, and probably that is the working definition here for what consists the common perception.

Is there a simple argument why it was not South African special police? I understand that the Swedish police decided it implausible, but did they explain why?

I think the amount of paranoia and turbulance in SA during the 1980's and the other operations of the special army/police factions make it a somewhat believable possibility. The other thing to keep in mind is that during that time a lot of people were already acting in a sort of "rogue" way. There are always people that go to the radical extreme before a change in power.
This tech exists. The navy seals use electronic bands around their necks to detect muscle movements, convert them to sounds and broadcast to the team.
Oh, sorry.. it is on Youtube. But I will never trust in any Google service again, as I did.
I don’t think they meant “ethics rules of just lawyers.”

It’s unethical because the only reason they are trying to unsurface the leaker is so that they can potentially punish them to discourage that behavior which revealed bad behavior in the first place.
I used to work for the UK's largest Supermarket Chain. In 2012 when an ALDI was due to open close to a store I managed, head office sent in a delegate from the small "Continental Discounter" (ALDI/LIDL) team who explain that the ALDI brand was a cleverly worked phallacy, it wasn't cheaper, the products weren't better and customers didn't like it as much as people made out.

Six years later, the impact of ALDI and LIDL have effected fundamental change in the giant, Supermarket Chain, the whole corporate strategy seems to emulate what ALDI does well and there is a pilot where some of the smaller stores are rebranded under a different name and basically modelled on a German discounter.

ALDI and LIDL have changed the UK supermarket landscape in a fundamental way and customers seem to love it.

It was their "cheaper than gasoline" milk that got us in there. The overall quality of their offerings kept us going there. There are some specialty items that we have to go to our local grocery for.

From what I remember of my first exposure to Aldi about a decade ago, they were cash-only and had a horrid fruits & vegetables selection. Some of their stores in some parts of the country still have the fresh fruit & veg problem. (They have a distribution center two towns over from where we live.)

You can google up various "best beers at Aldi" list and find differing opinions. It's cheap enough that if you're willing to try something and abandon it at a party if it's not to your taste, you can probably find something that you like. They don't sell a porter or a stout, but their "Holland" is a decent enough summer Bier. (I'm surprised that they don't have a Weissbier, though.)
Yes, youtube. Now I can't download it.
Unlike Singapore, most cities in the world do not have their own border control. Lots of people commute in and out of San Francisco for work. Are you going to check if every vehicle entering the city is carrying a "legal" person?
I live in Aldi's motherland and even if I could easily afford to buy groceries in other stores from major brands I usually go to Aldi first, buying the 10% they do not sell later somewhere else. Why? Because I blindly trust them. What they sell is usually good quality with a good taste (I even do not look at the prices). The juices they sell: perfect. The fruits they sell: mostly sweet (there is a fruit quality problem in Germany, as the country usually only gets second grade fruits because of the low prices eveywhere). Milk, joghurt, cheese: best quality. And I can actually remember where stuff is! So shopping is fast. This is in stark contrast to most other retailers who try to trick you into buying more by hiding stuff in unexpected places. Many years ago, someone told me something from behind the scene at Aldi. She was working for a producer of toilet paper and similar. She said: in contrast to other clients, we are not allowed to produce one lot without some people from Aldi being present. Before they produced for them, they had to call Aldi so they could have engineers at the factory to oversee everything that was done. She said no other customer did this.
This really reinforced my trust in their Quality.
Absolutely nothing about what you just wrote would be "simple", not even explaining why I think it's a moral failure to seriously suggest it.
In my area there are plenty of mental health care psychologists, but unfortunately none of them take my insurance (UHC, one of the biggest if not the biggest insurers). So I pay out of pocket since my out-of-network deductible is so high I'll never reach it. Neither UHC or my employer care about this.
I can play it on a small window on the youtube editor page. But I could not find a way to download it back yet.
I worked at a major third party logistics company from 2012-2015 and they were less than halfway through a massive project to rewrite their COBOL mainframe systems in Java, and I doubt they're anywhere near being done yet.

The industry also runs on FTP transfers of flatfiles and ANSI X12 EDI messages. The most "modern" partner API I saw was SOAP. No one I talked to had even heard of REST.

Meanwhile, on multiple occasions I heard senior managers express terror at the prospect of Amazon entering their market and competing with them. Rightfully so, given the size of Amazon's resources. Making money off a logistics network is an economy of scale game.
I don't take orders from you. But there are a few.
Closing streets can actually improve traffic. It many cities, you could close many side-streets to all but local traffic (residents). This would make the city much more bike & scooter friendly.

Electric bikes and scooters really change the game, you no longer have to be in great shape or sweaty in order to avoid taking a car to your destination. Really, safety is the main concern many people have.
What loss of privacy? In both cases the contents of your email and stored on a disk and read into memory for processing.
Yes, please throw the book at this person. We dont need these types of people in our society. He knowing and willingly lied to people and tried to cover his tracks when he was caught. This person will or attempt to do this fraud again.
To clarify, I wasn’t complaining about the name, just pointing out the oddity of the BS explanation. So I certainly had no torches as I don’t think this, or much else on the Internet, is torch worthy.

I’m old enough to remember when the Numa Numa video was only circulated as “gay Dutch kid” even though the person in the video wasn’t gay or Dutch and may have been an adult.

I like HN because it has diverse ideas and comments and opinions, not because it accurately eulogizes cats.

I think it’s pretty funny that Tard gets grouped with Mother Theresa and Ghandi.
In addition to being the cheapest, I'm often impressed by the quality of some of Aldi's pantry staples. Specifically, I'm blown away by their onions. I buy a bag of onions every 1-3 weeks. Since I can't individually inspect every onion in the bag, I'm resigned to the fact that anywhere from 10-30% of the onions will be unusable when I start to cut into them and find the rot. This is true of pretty much every grocer I've ever shopped at, with some faring worse than others (I remember almost half of the onions I'd get from an average bag at Target were unusable). Not so at Aldi's. I can buy a bag and every onion in the bag will have a nice, firm skin that feels fresh and tight when peeled, rather than old and slimy.

I suspect it's probably shelf life more than anything else--if they keep just enough stock of them that they're constantly being bought and restocked, they don't have time to sit on the shelf and wilt.
Unless you are any commercial mass email marketer available today?
I thought that this was an issue on the entire West Coast and not just California.
Journalists often use terms they don’t really understand in a context that’s not quite appropriate.
All it takes is one information leakage scandal, and customers will abandon Slack at the drop of a hat. It's just a chat app, so it's very easy to replace.
There is an ambiguity in the term "homeless" that can obscure discussion.

I believe the term "homeless" was adopted in part to avoid more pejorative terms like "bum" or "vagrant". However, there may be some differences. You may not notice the majority of the homeless. They may very well hang out in libraries, coffee shops, and park benches, but these folks may be people with no mental illness or addiction, victims of the economy, or a restrictive housing supply. Alternatively, they may be people with personal health (including mental health) challenges that do severely impede their ability to work (or just cope with the world), but they have no immediate outward appearance of distress or addiction, and they don't pass out on city streets or, worse, intimidate, berate, threaten, stalk, harass, or assault fellow citizens.

The term homeless has come in the vernacular to refer to the people I referenced in that last sentence as the "homeless", almost to the point where the word is detached from home and less. It means a severely addicted and mentally ill person who lives on the street.

I don't know which one is increasing. I've lived in SF my whole life (SF, not the Bay Area, I took urban muni routes home from middle school), I'm in my late 40s, and I've never seen it so bad. I've always been a big public transportation taker, but I'm less enthusiastic about it now. What were occasional bad moments in the 80s and 90s have become an every other ride experience in some locations, and the lows are starting to get really, really low.
You really can tell when you use their software that Omni has been in the Cocoa business since NeXT. OmniWeb used to ship with the OS, and IIRC OmniPDF did too.
It's unfortunate that the U.S. has such lack privacy protections compared to Europe.
No, it just blocked my videos where there were, at least, a few minutes of music on the background.
The QWERTY standard has lasted since the Remington 2, and most devices are based on it. That's what you should teach your children first. If you intend to teach them languages early, QWERTZ or AZERTY might be valuable. If you're thinking of teaching them Mandarin, teach them to use a Chinese keyboard as well as QWERTY.
This is hardly a trivial solution. You're suggesting we implement large scale concentration camps, and have a police force that demands, "Papers, please!" from whomever they judge as potentially homeless. And who is going to pay for all of this? Who is going to fund the defense against the civil rights lawsuits for this obviously unconstitutional law?
The numbers are suspect. There is a survey where the interviewer asks the question. It is in the interviewer, the interviewed, and the greater homeless industrial complex that the answer is yes I am from San Francisco and I previously had a home. The survey supports bad policy decisions and gives apologists a citation.
tbf I tend to agree and nearly put "sportier" as another reason why Tesla might have more driver errors than, say, a 5 series BMW (through more aggressive drivers choosing Tesla, or it being more tempting to manually drive too fast) but wanted to avoid a completely tangential debate on the extent to which Tesla was responsible for that (unlike young men on busy exurban freeway commutes having more accidents than the average driver regardless of car type, which definitely can't be blamed on anyone at Tesla). But the key point is that not only is gleaning statistically significant and properly controlled info from accident data hard, but also a lot of aggregate stats don't paint the rosy picture Tesla's PR figures do

There's so many variables, there's no real encompassing way to calculate this metric holistically.

Otherwise, every college application would need an addendum of "List every hardship or limitation you have ever experienced". It's not practical.
I'm sure different tools could help somewhat but ultimately anything replacing GitHub issues would still involve some kind of social, i.e. communication, structure and that's just a hard thing to build and maintain.

Beside the benefit that black removes any discussion regarding formatting, my favourite benefit otherwise is the speed-up it yields by having it run everytime I save a file. I don't have to care about line lengths or single/double quotes or stuff like that anymore, since black will fix it for me anyway. And if black fails to trigger, it means there is something wrong with my code somewhere.

This is what I've stuffed in my VS code settings:

"python.formatting.provider": "black",
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
The comment discussed reporting them to the state bar. The state bar only enforces ethics rules of the type I'm discussing.

If the original comment far upthread was contemplating reporting someone to the state bar for something that didn't violate state bar ethics rules, then that's even more egregiously inflammatory.
Can't this be done using an accelerometer?

Also, is this tech different from how a Wacom tablet works?
> This "jail" is actually a homeless zone outside of the city where homeless people are shipped too and given free food and shelter. They are also provided access to education and care and a dedicated team with the objective of data driven rehabilitation.

Look up the word 'gulag'
I'm well aware that this isn't healthy, but it is the norm within much of the US. There was some unfortunate use of "most" and "much". However, the point is that this type of behavior is extremely normalized.

The cited percentages don't mean much to me, except I will take your point that I should have used words more carefully. 17% might sound tiny, but I don't think it makes much sense to look at the total population here.

There are quite a few people who don't drink at all, or very little (to the point that I wouldn't call them "drinkers"). I should have specified that the populations I'm looking at are 18-35 year old "drinkers". The cited behavior wouldn't be shocking at all within this group, and would absolutely be considered normal. The problem is somewhat masked by the fact 16 oz or larger beers are common these days.

From what I've heard CA/UK/AU isn't doing much better. I'd highly recommend the documentary "Drinkers like me". It features a middle aged man in UK, who's not considered an alcoholic by friends slow realization, that his drinking might not be as moderate as he thinks; and that society may normalize alcohol abuse.
This sort of stuff, the general lack of interest in method in the drive to publish, has really killed a lot of my faith in the idea of a scientific method. It can't work, we can't produce good, useful knowledge if even the best scientists at top flight institutions just regard it as a shell game where the facsimile of a result is as good as a real result, as long as you can sneak it past publishers, who are playing the same game with the public.
You can still sometimes see groups of young (teen-ish to 20-ish) homeless people in Harvard Square, including with dogs sometimes, though not as much as you used to. There at least used to be a mobile health clinic that would visit "The Pit" area around the Harvard Square subway station, where young homeless kids would congregate. (Also, non-homeless kids, such as from affluent suburbs, hanging out and being cool/punk/real with the homeless. But some of them actually are homeless, maybe escaping from rough family situations.) I understand there recently is/was a dotcom-y charitable homeless shelter in Harvard Square (unless it already disappeared; sometimes projects fail, or are career steps).

Cambridge, Boston, and Massaschusetts are wealthy, and good about social programs and safety nets for the poor, by overall US standards. But the winters get cold, so a lot of homeless who are able might go to the SF Bay Area.
TikTok Is China’s Most Important Export
YMMV, but TP is one of the few things I don't buy from Aldi. We tried a pack and the wipes felt like they were rice-paper thin.
It looks like most of the comments interpreted what I said very differently than I meant it.

I didn't mean "invest" as in cash investment, I meant the educational investment -- our institutions are putting in time and energy to build skills.

Yes the students pay for it, and yes this makes money for the universities, I wasn't trying to say anything about that part.

Rather, drawing from my own life experience: I studied with a number of really sharp international students, who through their own talent and hard work in university acquired great technical skills. Many of those people then wanted to stay in the US permanently, but weren't able to get through immigration.

My point is that it seems very strange for us to be pushing high-motivation, high-skill people out of the country if they would like to stay -- even more strange when they came and acquired the skills here. Those people are going to be a great contribution to whichever country they call home, if they'd like to make their contribution here then I personally would welcome them with open arms.
Data migration is difficult. I'm sure there are a lot of very old databases still chugging along in some dusty office corner because no one wants to touch them since they've worked adequately for the last 30 years.
For the layperson, ethics is generally something we know when we see it. That's not in bad faith.

IANAL, but clause (a) looks potentially applicable.

> or use methods of obtaining evidence that violate the legal rights of such a person

I don't expect to see this prosecutor disbarred, but one can still call out the unethical behavior.
No. It is up to the proponent of a proposition to offer evidence of its truth.

Perhaps those with no legal training should be the ones Googling, since many here clearly have no idea what they're talking about.
Ask HN: Are there any startups that want to solve for food wastage?
Amazon probably won't get broken up as long as people continue to get the lowest prices from them.

As far as owning you in every sense, that won't happen until these companies start buying up so much property that they rival military bases in family services offered. At that point, once it becomes possible to live cradle to grave on a company's property, that's when you will be owned.
My 2 cents, at Facebook scale there is no framework that will handle all the "boring stuff".

I am not even sure what you even mean by boring stuff. But if you are like some of the devs I have worked with I have heard over and over why do we have to write all this CRUD for forms and dashboards etc.

There are no shortcuts, and no frameworks that just magically solve all the problems without introducing tradeoffs.

I could have worded it more clearly, but I didn't mean cash investment, I meant educational investment. I posted a further clarification as a reply to the original message.
Who else finds this really silly? FB is just a social network. It's where dumb people post dumb things. How does it deserve this much new press.
Indeed -- look at the popular street "con" known as "Three-Card Monte" -- a fraudulent card game which seems to be run by a single person, but in fact also involves several [or all] people in what appears to be 'the crowd.' The victim of the con has no clue that these other folks are working with the guy manipulating the cards.
To be fair, it's hard to get people excited without fresh branding.

Come to think of it, there have been previous campaigns to get people to reduce their screen time, but "Deep Work" seems to be the most successful yet. Perhaps because it focuses on what you stand to gain (long periods of uninterrupted focus) rather than what you stand to lose (dopamine hits from your smartphone). I think Deep Work succeeded because it doesn't just say "X is bad for you," it says "X is holding you back from being a better version of yourself," and therefore allows you to daydream about being super productive.
