More room for passengers and items. General versatility. A Honda CR-V with the rear seats folded can pack around an amazing amount of gear. A Honda Accord can carry much less stuff.

A CR-V also has AWD which not every sedan is available with, giving it all season capability.

Also, the CR-V has acceptable fuel economy. 30 MPG on EPA's combined cycle...the same as the Accord.

Also, many of them drive very well. The new CR-V is a capable vehicle at highway speeds. No less so than an Accord.

Ask HN: Status of HTML5 Contacts API
Hi, I would like to know the status of HTML5 Contacts API. I remember it's been added to the specification. I couldn't find any status about it and I don't see it listed in caniuse.com. Can anyone update here?
> I feel this is what I'd like the modern web to be: crisp, clean, high density information, using colors only where it is relevant.

Take a trip only 10 years back. Browse with a Wii, or a series 40 Nokia phone. Or even Lynx using a color terminal. The experience bears considerable resemblance to the one you describe.

Everything pulling the experience away from this is a cultural problem. On the technical side there's the increasing tendency to see the browser as a weird VM/runtime first (or, worse, not to think about the browser much at all, and instead see the web primarily through the lens of several popular technological hammers to which every problem looks like a nail). On the business side there's various legal, economic, and marketing incentives. Not all of these are trivially dismissed concerns, but it's still possible to do what you want in simple enough circumstances or with some careful thinking/work in more complex ones.
There's another story - the Japanese Curry was invented by the British to prevent scurvy [1]

The earliest recipe for "raisu kari" is from the "Beeton's Book of Household Management" [4] which in turn uses "INDIAN CURRY-POWDER, founded on Dr. Kitchener’s Recipe"

The Brits got curry from India (duh!)

One of the leaders of India's freedom struggle against the British - Rash Behari Bose - escaped to Japan and created the "Indo-karii" Nakamuraya curry [2] . You can still eat it [3].

the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force still serves curry every Friday as a tradition. And each ship has its own recipe [5]

There are alternatives to Amazon!

For general household stuff, my go to store is manufactum.com

They only offer very few things, but the things they have are very high quality. If you buy something from Manufactum, you know it'll last for the rest of your life.

The stuff there is of course outrageously expensive compared to the plastic crap from Amazon, but for me that means I really think about the purchase. Do we really need two of those metal baskets for the shower that hold your shampoo bottles? Not if it costs 100€.

For tools, there's dictum.com, which follows a similar philosophy. They don't offer a million choices; they make a very deliberate choice which products they sell, so you don't have to make the choice. You can rely that something you order from them is a good choice.
> Most people buy things based on marketing.

There is a difference between buying Channel products based on marketing and buying your power tools based on marketing. The difference is that one is marketing for actual spec and durability the other for status and gimmicks or worst outright lies.

The sales number speaks for it self, along with TSLA Financial Results.

Not sure what you're getting at, people who would not buy low range and specially lower performance cars somehow would prefer go-kart like feeling and handling?

Calling Munro a marketing consultant is a poor effort.
I would start in the city where I grew up and currently live. Giving back to your local community is important. Especially if you have a new trade or know something that is currently not there.

Biggest plus points:

- No car required. Everything could be bikeable

- Your network is already there

- It's probably cheaper then moving to a 'big' city.

If you are looking for money, and money only. Go to the default startup hotspots and cities. But if you are looking to find personal happiness, I'd say doing that in a place that's more quiet and less competitive would be much more rewarding.

Upvoted comments are directly related to the user's comments, and thus the user, so that makes sense. Articles are not related to the user* posting them. It's basically random unless I'm missing something.

Ask HN: Know anyone who's side project IP was legally challenged by the day job?
On this post here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20019975 - and many others like it, I've seen folks get quite worried about working on side projects while working for the man.

In the comments I asked the question "Does anyone have any anecdotes about companies enforcing this rule and coming after a founder that started a side project while working for the company?"

I got 16 upvotes even though the question was quite far down the page.

Since I've never had that many upvotes on a question so far down I am thinking maybe other folks would be interested to hear about real world cases like this.

Does it happen often? Does it ever happen? All anecdotes welcome!
>Unless you are deliberately trying to obscure the facts. Sam Boyer et al are no unanimously elected community leaders whose solutions somehow must be included with main distribution.

Unless you are deliberately trying to obscure the facts, this is irrelevant.

Their project seemingly had the blessing of the core team, it was touted as a community effort, it was adopted and tested by the community at large, it was presented and critiqued in public discussions, and so on.

And then it was shot down, unilaterally, and replaced with no discussion by a never before seen implementation from a core team member.

>This is exactly same for all open source languages, if core maintainers do not like the your change either fork it and implement or use any other language which gives you feature you wanted.

Not really, many open source projects give the community a chance to vote on such things, have core team members that are voted into place, and go out of their way to adopt popular community extensions (as opposed to implement their own core-team only versions).

The real cost isn't in the money needed to pay off farmers to not grow things, it's to the consumers that won't have their favorite foods available. Americans love their corn, rice, beef, almonds, pistachios, and avocados, all of which are very water-intensive crops.

The high agricultural water consumption is basically consumers saying "I value my beef more than my lawn", which is pretty accurate. We hear about residential water conservation (which, as you mention, is a literal drop in the bucket) because nobody's seriously suggesting banning meat, but given the choice between water shortages (as long as it doesn't get to the point where drinking water is endangered) or going without favorite foods, most people would take the water shortages. Chances are, even a significant portion of vegans would rather go with the water shortage if everyone was a vegan and it was no longer an effective way to signal cultural values.

This interview with MIT weapons expert Theodore Postol is compelling viewing. He comes right out and says that the leaked report shows overwhelming evidence that the attack was staged and that the official OPCW report was fraud. In previous interviews I've heard with Postol, he's never come close to saying anything that unequivocal.

He also makes some interesting remarks about the tension between technical experts and bureaucrats.

There's no managing an asshole. It's very rare for an asshole to become a nonasshole. It's common for assholes to become bigger assholes over time as they get use to shitting on you. Either drop the project or leave the firm. You're in an unstable situation, working with assholes can take years off your life.
See the technique Apple uses to gather aggregate data about their customers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy

If this technique became widespread, advertisers could compare users A,B C, and … Z to filter out the “random clicks” (since they would all just as equally click these advertisements). This will leave A’s extra clicks still in the data sets letting the advertiser build a profile for A.
- Document all the communications
- Record responsibilities for each party and mark any delays from their side as well.
- Make them aware of quality vs quantity scenarios
- Make sure that they understand your commitment to the project.
- Finally, considering that the project is about to go live and that the client is also eager for it, it's needless to say that they need you as much as you need them.
I think it is worth pointing out this new CPU possibly landing in Flagship Android in late 2019 or early 2020 would still only be equal to or slower than an Apple A10 used in iPhone 8.

Assuming Apple continue like they do in the past, drop iPhone 7 and moves iPhone 8 down to its price range. They would have an entry level iPhone that is faster than 95% of all Android Smartphone on the market.
1) few parties can collude to sell or buy at the price they desire.

2) Index fund must balance their portfolio. If stock A goes down and B goes up then they must sell off A and buy more of B to re-balance. At least that has been my understanding.

Above two in combination means that you can cause chain reaction which is to be expected because much larger dollars is simply trying to imitate much smaller dollars. So later gets to control the former.
It’s not a threat model that advertising systems care about. If it becomes widespread, the filters will be smarter.

I'm glad to know that you and your customers have no problem with docker. But do they really have none? For example if you do have some close source, how did you convince customers that your image is secure/trust-worthy?
Graphics Programming weekly – Issue 86 – May 26, 2019
I really like this. Is it maintained? I am guessing the main repo is this one? https://github.com/caub/im-optim

If not, can people point me to another out of the box solution?

My use case is that I don't want to build an entire image preprocessing/thumbnailing pipeline for image uploads. But if I serve the raw image that the user uploaded, they are typically not optimized for the web. Since I am letting the user upload anything anyway, it doesn't matter whether the image processing is secure (e.g., he can totally reverse engineer the js to upload a non-compressed image, but so what). Client side compression is a pretty elegant solution since you won't even have to pay for cpu cost to process the image. If you don't care to keep the original, it will even speed up the image uploads since they are now smaller. I really see no down sides to doing this?

My point is that json is always “fast enough”. Either you don’t care about parsing speed and can use what is most ergonomic or you do care and you’ll use an optimized library.

Is this true, though? Looking at the ICD-11 draft [0], burnout appears in chapter 24 which lists "factors influencing health status or contact with health services" but no proper disorders. This has already been the case since the release of ICD-10 [1]. So there doesn't appear to be a change.

Sense of pride and loyalty is generally not a problem. For many (most?) people working remotely allows them to better balance work and life. It often makes it easier for them to do things that are important to them.

One of the ways people "pay that back" is with loyalty and engagement. Also if working remotely gives them opportunities which they can't get elsewhere they might have a higher attachment to keeping the job.

Taking responsibility for work and work hours also comes with the territory. If you can't do this, you can't work remotely. The more common issue that remote employers have is prevent overwork and burnout.

Feeling connected to each other is a bit more complex. Remote companies need to be deliberate about this, especially as they scale. It depends a lot on the way they are constructed. A company that is remote but all within one region can have a synchronous culture. This influences how workers interact. If the company is spread across many timezones they are more likely to have an asynchronous culture and need different ways to interact and build bonds between people. It is possible, just requires effort. I talk about how we do this on the Collaboration Superpowers podcast https://www.collaborationsuperpowers.com/232-getting-to-know...

I think the most public remote companies are also companies who are quite thoughtful about why they exist and what they want to be. Which are good places to start when creating vision and objectives!
For Northern Europe at that time I would think that kale would be the best source. You can harvest fresh kale for most of the year. No idea how the vitamin c holds up when you dry it. I'm unsure if sea buckthorn was growing in Northern Europe at that time, but if it was it would be a near perfect source, save for the trouble of picking them. Today you could eat Rosehip too, but that plant is so invasive that it needs to be seriously kept at bay.
Robot is able to write and trace like a human being
I've been the sole "tech guy" on a few campaigns over the years; it was mind blowing to see call time, my first time around. I spent several days asking other campaign officers why I couldn't just automate it; dialing, doing the money ask, collecting donation information, all totally automatable. I was told a number of reasons, with the overarching theme being that the more human effort went into it, the better the outcome would be. The people doing the calls had been at it for years, had a system, and didn't want the disruption caused by automation. They would work better if it was their job start to finish.

It is a bit Ludite in nature, but when I beta tested an autodialing system, the person making the calls seemed more surprised, less ready for the call, and had less immediate knowledge about who they were calling. The act of scrolling through the list, identifying the next viable name (and reading all of the information we had about that person), dialing the number, etc, gave the caller time to mentally prepare and digest what they knew about the person they soon would be speaking to. They were more engaging during the ask, and overall were more successful.
On Unix I much prefer using symlinks to hard links. Hard links are super confusing when you don't know/remember that they're there. AFAIK there's no easy way to get ls to display them for what they are. If you suspect that something is a hardlink you have to squint at the inode numbers and see if you have duplicates. But if you use symlinks, ls will just tell you, and give you both the link name and destination by default.

I suppose you could use ls_colors to colorize hard links to make them more visible, but then you have to configure that on every server you ssh to.

And what of it? Node makes building CLI apps accessible to an ever wider audience. I'm just putting my "glowing review" out there to counteract all the naysayers who like to piss on Node because it's JavaScript, usually without even _attempting_ to make an argumented case against it.

Sure. Is it ethical to force a sentience into this world (without asking it), then forcing it to live strictly by your rules for the next 18 years? To bring that sentience into a world which it will inevitably wither and die and lose everything dear to it, because it exists in a frail organic shell?

Consent is critical, and I don't think any life-event breaches consent more than existing in the first place. I do not think having children is a good thing, morally speaking. It is not possible to obtain the consent of a being before it exists - as such, the best route is to not bring said being into existence in the first place.
