Countries such as Germany have banned certain kinds of hate speech (Holocaust denial, incitement to racial hatred, ...) for decades. There has been no slippery slope that this got more and more, it just has to be well defined and you need a serious judiciary and a healthy societal dialogue about what is and isn't acceptable. There is a far right party that everyone believes is pretty much the Nazi party, but it's not been banned as the evidence has not been strong enough. They didn't explicitly/provably violate any laws so they haven't been banned (yet).

That's a good, functional judicial process. It's a matter of professional judges and due process.
I think you're describing the distinction between chronic and transitional homelessness: https://endhomelessness.org/addressing-chronic-homelessness-...

> We now recognize that these patterns are indicators of chronic homelessness. Far from being the norm, only about 10 to 15 percent of people who experience homelessness are chronically homeless. But this relatively small group tends to be the most visible as well as the most vulnerable.
Oh, I hadn't noticed. Your service looks nice, and if spamgourmet is not taking new signups it does make even more sense.
The Unexpected Profundity of Curious George
No, I disagree with the rebate thing. For one thing, low-income citizens don't need to be flying domestically (if they are, they're not "low income"). And a lot of low-income citizens are living car-based lifestyles that are frankly luxurious compared to poor people in other nations, and is costing society a lot. These people need to move to denser cities and take public transit. The only thing I'd support is subsidies to help them relocate from their rural homes to places where they don't need cars and can get jobs.

All the other ideas are fantastic.

How can they know what the necessary level is?

Perhaps they should institute higher prices for those further away from the distribution point.
Well, to be honest, the free press is often its own source of misinformation, often simply parroting the government / big business position, for a variety of reasons - since way before stuff like Fox or Breitbart.

There is sadly no simple answer to the problem of obtaining The Truth...
Except Google is an advertising company and Apple is a consumer electronics and software company. Their objectives are different, and historically, Apple has been one of the most privacy-focused tech companies.

Not saying Apple can't use your data, but as far as auth providers go, I'd rank Apple higher than all the other Big Tech Cos.
It's also government artificially restricting supply to certain numbers. Asymptotic regulations are bad regulations. Variable regulations are better. For example, instead of saying that there can be N bikes allowed, they should instead determine metrics they want to achieve like utilization (rides per day) or complaints per number of bikes and let operators put as many bikes on the streets so long as the quality of life metrics they establish are satisfied.
But that's due to the average velocity being low, not the maximum velocity. Also, bikes have the advantage of weaving past traffic in those circumstances.

I've looked for fares like that and never see them at convenient times. At 4AM 3 months from now, sure. That's not convenient.

I tried planning out a weekend trip from DC (where I live) to NYC on Amtrak, and I couldn't make it work. The goal was to travel to NYC without flying, and without having to take time off from work (I work normal 9-5ish, flex hours). The only way to get fares cheaper than by airline is to take the train at 5AM or so. But the train station is downtown; I can't get downtown in time to catch the train by Metro (subway), because the Metro doesn't run that early. So I'd have to take a Lyft/Uber, which is expensive. If I go at a more convenient hour, the rates shoot way up, so it's more expensive than flying.

Sure, I could take a day or two off from work, but that defeats the point. If I wanted to travel between Frankfurt and Munich on a weekend without taking time off from work, or between Tokyo and Osaka, I could do it more cheaply and easily than DC-NYC.

I'd add to this, that your eligibility for housing benefits is not coupled to your eligibility for housing. You could be in the situation of losing your benefit eligibility because you got a new private income, and refuse to pay your rent (or squander your income as to be unable to pay).
If you don't like calling it an EDK (agreed!) just ignore its awful misleading nickname and call it an offset overhand bend instead.
That makes me feel even worse now.

The other day I stopped behind a cyclist at a red light on a major avenue in NYC. He was in the left lane and the bike lane is simply one more lane over.

When the light turned green he took forever to get going and even after 20 seconds he was still going dangerously slow so I honked him and felt like a jerk. I did not understand why he simply didn't use the bike lane.

The cross streets are a different story. The bike lanes there are basically non-existent and I have no problem sharing the road with cyclists there.
Also the huge number of developers over the last few decades that switched full time to macOS and claim having a Unix shell was a big reason. You could very easily see that at any major dev conference all the Apple machines (often with at least one GitHub sticker), including Microsoft's own Xamarin conferences (and now that they own GitHub too, GitHub conferences and sticker counts ;).

That's an interesting audience of developers for Microsoft to try to make happy again on Windows.
Apple iOS 13
Agree. It's what I wanted from them all these years. And they finally delivered.
True. I am just wary of the line being drawn on the conservative side.

Edit: wary not weary lol
Apple doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, monetize data, either through ads or selling it to third parties. I'd welcome a clarification if I'm wrong.
I was actually thinking about a designated shuffling area on the board. All cards moved to the shuffling area would be shuffled but the rest would be kept untouched. The area could surround the deck by default.

It doesn’t even have to be adversarial. Sometimes you have a fawning press. or the premier, President, prime minister, etc., can be very charismatic.
Are you sure that was the exact query? Of course it's hard to say anything conclusive these days, but I can't reproduce your results with that exact query. The featured result [0] is for migrating to firefox, and so are all the normal results, all the suggested searches, and two out of the three video results.

I can only see mixed results with queries like "migrate chrome firefox" or "migrate firefox chrome", which have no disambiguation about the direction of the migration at all. For those, the top result I see is migrating to Chrome and the second is migrating from Chrome. Given the ambiguity, that hardly seems malicious.

That's an interesting idea- I like it.
Planned economy works until they don't. For one it can only react to trends after they emerge by playing catch-up, instead of birthing run-away successes out of nowhere. I am against a completely unregulated free market in principle but that doesn't mean having to follow state-directed planning to the exact step.
There are inflation indexed annuities that you can invest in. Most 401ks don't have them directly, but when you retire I advise my friends to move some of your saving into them: enough to cover the basic life expenses (insurance, food, rent). Because they are for life they are typically lower return on investment, but they lower the risk of living wrong so they should ensure you can afford at least the basics of life.
Sure, it might be the highest % among iPhone holders - but for a website, what portion of your users are going to be iPhone holders, and what portion of the Windows/Android crowd have Apple accounts?
Something like 58% of site visits are from mobile browsers, and mobile Safari makes up over half of all mobile browsers. Of course, your mileage may vary, but that's a pretty large segment.

Apple Unveils All New Mac Pro at WWDC
Some thoughts:

1) pair up kids

2) Coordinate with teacher so every thing is ready before hand - you don't want to spend time in setup. (arrive early, scope out the space)

3) there is always 1 kid who is "smarter" than the others who is going to cause a problem - don't get distracted by them (or have a plan)

4) Have everything that you want to say in a powerpoint or something that can be displayed using equipment at hand - avoid wasting time writing.

5) Keep presentations short ( ~4min max) before activity.

6) More kids: more chaos; longer to get going. Cut in a third the time available - that is the actual time you will have for your project.

* They don't pay teachers enough. I can't stand getting my own kids to get work done. Let alone 30 other brats.
I agree, they are missing a major component. They need cycles of the light where NO motorized vehicle traffic is going through. When they allow right turns through crosswalks or straight traffic while people are crossing they are making it far more likely for pedestrians and cyclists to be hit. Some New York intersections already do this.

I keep seeing right turning vehicles blow through intersections and almost cream someone and then honk at them like they did something wrong.

The 6k screen is mind blowing. But, you know there is a macbook pro with a 6k screen somewhere deep in apple labs.

Hopefully in time for when apple does the switch to arm in 2022. Apple, my money will be ready!

So every Tesla you buy (that helps the environment), offsets a giant 12 MPG truck driven to get grocery's (and hurting the environment)? I wonder how the environmental buyers of Tesla would feel about that...
I built one myself with some spare parts. I love it, to the point that I wear my helmet for short trips when I otherwise wouldn't bother.

It's modeled after this one: https://www.efficientvelo.com/home/safezone

The key component is the flexible, stays-where-you-put-it arm. Safezone is repurposing an industrial product called "coolant hose" - a 1-ft length costs less than $5. Epoxy a small mirror to the end, and attach it to your helmet with zip ties or velcro straps.

Aren't seasteders of this sort just extreme use-based taxation proponents, when you get down to it?
They were called "Rooming Houses" and we should bring them back.
> Wearing a helmet increases your chance of death on a bike according to the statistics.

I'm not aware of any study that says this. The most I've ever read is speculation that wearing a helmet might lead to more accidents, but that's not the same thing, since accidents with head protection are less likely to result in catastrophic head trauma and death. Could you maybe drop a reference link or two for this claim?
At least it's not passive consumption.
Yeah, I'll admit that my mentality was flawed and short-sighted. Developer-time isn't free, of course they need a way of making money. I don't even blame the investors or Github for the acquisition; if I were in their shoes of course I would do the same thing.
The old cheesegrater look is back. Its almost like how the car companies bring back the old car with a redesigned look.
Sure, and I'll probably look into them, if, by retirement, the world doesn't turn into a Mad Max hell-scape. (Which I am not optimistic about.)

The thing is, all the same risks of Social Security (People living longer than expected, investment returns being lower than expected, a prolonged recession emptying out the fund, inflation turning your guaranteed returns into 'only-good-as-toilet-paper-money') apply to them, but even moreso (Because they cannot count on continued buy-in, unlike Social Security).
That was quite a while ago. My company has been using the O365 for the past two years and it is very reliable, plus you get the full experience and not a half baked Excel such as Google docs(talking about backwards comp, extensions...).
Sounds promising, because this is where Apple is really got at: taking something “at the fringes” and taking it to the mainstream.
kids aged 10 or 11 won't have facebook accounts.
I'm not going to reach, but there must be parallels to this in other industries.

In the US those JavaScript developers are probably paid enough that they should know more about the giants whose shoulders they are standing on (to the extent that it would provide us with better technology) but in general yeah, abstractions are a very powerful thing.
Adacado | Intermediate and Senior Software Engineers, FE and BE | Vancouver, BC, Canada | Full-time, onsite

You have over 3-5 years of coding and web application expertise, and want to do more innovative development and less mundane operations support.

“Creating Change is what we do.”

Adacado is looking for expert FE and BE programmers (ES6/CSS or Golang) to enrich our development skill pool and help take our application to the next level, innovatively and technically. You’re the type of developer that is never satisfied. You strive to create new technologies/design patterns, and/or completely abandoning current systems and undertaking complete re-builds, using all the latest technology. You thrive in doing something that has never been done before.

“Fail often, fail fast.”

The Adacado SAAS platform (and its roadmap) creates many interesting technical challenges. Adacado is built on Kubernetes, Golang, Vue, Node and ES6, and utilizes Postgres, Kafka, Aerospike, and ElasticSearch. We manage an ever growing army of microserviceswith special care in making our applications performant, available, and scalable.

As a developer at Adacado you will take part in designing/reviewing/writing critical application services, as well as mentoring and teaching other developers with your expertise. You will collaborate closely with teammates to implement and ship new functions in a fast paced environment where you catch errors and deploy same-day fixes on a regular basis. You feel a personal pride in the code that you produce and enjoy a culture of friendly coding ‘one-upmanship’. You aren’t afraid of spending time to try something and then throw it out all-together to start anew if it doesn’t fit the bill. You enjoy discussing design patterns and problem solving with your colleagues. We value expert specialists over expert generalists.

The Adacado Team

Everyone at Adacado believes in our product, making our group close knit. We live through our trials and tribulations together (often over great Vancouver craft beer or other libations). Our staff are our most valuable resource.

We provide our team members with competitive compensation with benefits and stock options, liberal time off, flexible work hours and telecommuting, and a generous skills-development/education budget. All developers also receive a standup-desk, dual monitors, and a nerf gun (yes, a nerf gun).

Adacado is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, close to public transit. Everyday is casual day in the office and we provide a fully stocked kitchen with snacks. We also serve lunch hot and fresh every Friday, and have in-office craft beer and wine parties and bi-annual company retreats.

How to Apply

Please send your CV and cover letter to careers@adacado.com, and indicate you are applying from Hacker News.

It is great to work where you live, what is terrible is to live where you work! :-)
Aside from the questionable industrial design, I think this is very close to what Apple really needed to do. Pro users don't just want modularity/expandability, they actively need it. While CPU performance has kind of stagnated, GPU design is still evolving and those that use them heavily swap them out often. I'm happy to see something resembling a "real" pro device for creative use. They have clearly rethought the thermal design a bit as well, and this feels like the true successor to the old Mac Pro towers.

I'm sure it will be exceedingly expensive, but IMO it is a bit of a return to old form. Now we can finally forget about the trash can.
> It's not just car companies but foreigners cannot own the majority of ANY company.

That was the case decades ago, but it hasn't been the case for a long time. For several decades, China has been progressively removing ownership restrictions from different sectors of the economy. It removed restrictions on auto parts in 1993. It removed restrictions on automobiles last year. Foreigners can actually own majority stakes in most sectors now.

Tesla is an example of this. They do not operate as a joint venture in China.
