That kind of prohibition is nice if:

- You are rich and can buy a new electric/hybrid car.

- You live in the center of Madrid and are allowed to use your car.

However, if you are "poor" and work in the center of the city:

- If your car is not a low-emission vehicle, you are limited to go to work (only can by public transport).

- If you are a deliverer of packages, you'd have to buy a new car that fulfill the emission restrictions without any kind of tax-exemption from the government.

This low-emissions zone creation has been a show without any kind of planning and without consulting the citizens. i.e. there has not been any type of car renovation plan or tax exemptions that could have helped citizens with this restriction.

I understand the ecology and health-care point of view, but tell that to somebody whose work depends on reaching to the center of the city to deliver some packages (for example).
The article also mentions new tools for building cross-device apps. I hope that induces a non-superficial commitment to PWAs but sadly I wouldn’t bet on it.

> Apple has pushed the iPad as a laptop replacement for years. But many pro users have noted that while the hardware is capable enough, the software is still behind.

As other HN users have noted in the past, until Apple gives me access to a terminal where I can run the command line tools required for my work, I have absolutely zero interest in replacing my laptop with an iPad.
It's most likely that modern techniques are too "perfect"; the horribly impure coloration and janky glass composition (the texture of the glass chunk in the literal sense) as a result of technological limitations; in contrast to the "new" glass of the 19th century, which was already experiencing the first industrial revolution and thus could produce quality glass a lot more consistently.

At least that's the impression I got from googling "medieval stained glass vs modern"
Money will be taxed from citizens no matter what. The question is whether inflation is better or worse than the alternatives.
I don't know what the term for this is, but it's a common issue with trying to get people to stop doing something, if you make it a fiscal penalty, they're almost always more likely to do it because now you've made it OK as long as the penalty is paid. Best example I can come up with is child card services and care takers arriving late for pickup.

I've seen studies that show adding a monetary penalty, even per minute at pretty high rates, results in even later pickups because there's no guilt for being late, as long as their following the rules (pay money) vs just being late, where there's some amount of guilt for not honoring the agreed upon rules.

I'm guessing this has to be a similar situation. These companies can now comfortably play within the rules by just paying money. Until that amount of money is greater than any ongoing costs plus initial risks, I think we'll see companies just "paying the tax".
I'm not sure what can be done. The entire software industry is threatened by Orcale's greed at this point.

I agree that when people talk about writing, it seems like they value it. But in practice I believe it's undervalued. I essentially don't know anyone that, given the choice of leveling up their writing skills vs their job-specific skills, actually focused on writing.
Minority here, I never understood why music players shifted towards iTune-ish style of owning and re-categorizing everything in their own way... I mean, OS has a file system, why not just rely on it? Throw some searchable tags in, and you get the same abilities but without obscurity.
Ask HN: Why the gig economy is so effective
Here is my thought, the gig economy is so effective because smartphones makes humans more productive in general. The phone is a great force multiplier, especially in a service based economy. Adam Smith introduced the concept of division of labor, what's more specialized than being an on demand driver?

The problem is that the cost of buisness (car ownership, etc.) is not factored into wages, and that labor is weak, so workers are being exploited.

When productivity is this great human labor becomes more like a commodity.
The main factor keeping me on Deezer instead of switching to Apple Music since getting an iPhone has been "Oh god, I'd have to use iTunes on desktop". So this is a positive development.
It is widely understood that the featured one off car is for Ferdinand Piech, the former boss of VW group who also introduced his own luxury car brand at Geneva this year.

The lifetime of these cars is pretty limited, the Veyron no longer is where it is at, it is an old car but not a classic old car, it just says 'eugh' to some people that have seen it before. A technical marvel when new, now quite passe.

The Bugatti brand value is an interesting exercise in make believe. It is a revived brand, there is no common heritage. But they pretend there is and nobody points out the flaw to this thinking. At least VW's Lamborghini brand is a bit more credible, there is some thread between the old and the new. The Lamborghini style is spot on for consistent lineage, with Bugatti they have to have the horseshoe grill even though it makes no sense from an aero or other engineering relevant reason.

In theory VW could bring out a 'Tucker' car and pretend that there was some link between the three headlamped effort their designer comes up with and the original:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_48

They could sell the thing with faux American heritage and have it churned out of their Slovakia plant with a few Bentleys. If there was novelty in it people would buy it just because nobody else had one yet.

Meanwhile MacLaren are making cars that are ageing gracefully. There is no fake heritage and there is no horseshoe grill or other legacy novelty that goes with resuscitating a badge engineered image. They are also in the business of doing extremely expensive one off projects but that seems okay as the tech filters down to the cars affordable by lesser multimillionaires.

Returning to VW, the original brand proposition was 'the people's car', something that could bring motoring to the masses. Plenty of other marques had this starting point. But right now we need some reinvention of that with some humble electric car. I think something could be put together with enough range to get you to work and to the train station for longer treks, with a modest sized battery, super-capacitor and humble seats for less cost than a cheap hatchback. But we haven't had that, we keep getting these absurdly expensive cars that are not for the masses.
the good news is that if we use inflation, most citizens won't complain because they think it's because of "capitalism".
> Don’t want to spread ourselves too thin too early.

I certainly understand that, but I wonder since CockroachDB is essentially Postgres, if it wouldn't be easier to ensure compatibility from the start. It seems like it'd be easier to just avoid using special Postgres features that aren't in CockroachDB than to go back later and re-write all your code that relies on those features.
You have to fix the hypotheses to test before you begin the experiment, as otherwise you will stumble upon a lot of spurious correlations. That your birthday is the same day than someone's in your class/work group is a rare event, that two people have the same birthday in your class/work group, not at all uncommon. This is the birthday paradox. In the same spirit, with a drug you'll always find groups where it works because of spurious correlations, specially if you don't fix beforehand the group where you want to test it.
I understand his argument - in many cases, leakage of information Facebook is simply the web working as designed.

That is, people use Facebook as a web publishing platform and anyone in the world can access it. The same argument applies to Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest, whatever.

The problem is that when users do want to control how their information on Facebook is shared (which Facebook tricks you into thinking is possible) they have to fight against Facebook's labyrinth of anti-privacy settings.

Facebook also doesn't work as expected since nominally "private" information is routinely leaked to advertisers and users of Facebook's social graph API.

Facebook also systematically misuses private information, for example requesting mobile numbers for 2-factor authentication and account recovery, but then using those same mobile numbers for a unrelated purpose: linking you with businesses that you had to give a phone number to for a credit card purchase.

KrispNet – Voice Playback with Deep Learning
As someone who prefers to own music and organize it how I want, this is incredibly disappointing. I have no doubt that Apple Music will include only a fraction of the features I've come to depend on.
Isn't this covered by:
> The bill prohibits a provider from refusing to serve a customer...if the customer...does not consent to the use, disclosure, sale or access [of their data].
?
First world problems is a real thing indeed! Haha.
PS.: I’m off Apple Music for the exact same reason.
> It’s unrealistic to expect this of a tiny startup.

I could not disagree more. There's a right way and a wrong way to do this, it's trivial to do it right, and the risks of doing it wrong are enormous.
OS level doesn't have enough metadata. I remember tirelessly starring and categorizing my music to make smart playlists -- AFAIK you can't do that in the OS without some weird file naming schemes and a lot of extra work.

You're describing someone that's good at managing money, which runs counter to the idea of having a big pile of uninvested cash.
The topic is having a single tech partner. If the partner is large enough you can have a high level of redundancy by utilizing their cross-zone/geographically distributed services (e.g. US East, EU West, Asia Pacific, etc).

How you got from "single tech partner" to "have no disaster recovery plan" I don't know.
iTunesFS sort of gives you this. You get a read-only disk that maps to the iTunes database. Playlists are their own directories, along with artists, albums, etc.
Let me see if I get this straight...

Developer has a Python script that takes 1 second per record to execute and he has 500,00 records to process, so he spins up 10 distinct VMs each running the same Python script to parallelize the task.

The provider shuts him down and cites a section of the EULA that says "You shall not take any action that imposes an unreasonable... load on our infrastructure." Basically saying "Hey whatever you did, don't do that."

Developer gets his account restored and then proceeds to do exactly what he did to get it locked out the first time around.

Also Developer has all his eggs in one basket.

I disagree. The often unstated sentiment under such thoughts is always "hmm, this sounds way too crazy, we probably shouldn't do it because it feels too much like 'Playing God'!".

It's a form of concern-trolling: deep down inside you are against something, but don't want to say that openly, so instead you pretend to side with the proponents, but choose to play the role of "concerned citizen" and invent scary scenarios at the extreme ends of the probability spectrum, with the suggestion that "we should probably research this thing more before we try it!"
CFAC has ended "methods of operation" where software is concerned. The phrase no longer applies.
Why would DO be upset about spinning up 10 VMs then spinning them down again? Isn't this exactly the point of cloud providers? This is what they bill me for, right?
I have a lot of friends who do literally all of their work out of their "Downloads" folder - I don't know how they survive that way, but they love music players which they can just point at a directory and say "index this and make a neat library" and know that everything lives in one place.

Personally, I'm in the camp who kept a manually-organized directory tree for music for years, and would still prefer that mode of working, but even among my technical friends I think I'm in the minority there. Presumably Apple was right that this is what most people prefer.
I'm describing someone who values stability and liquidity over returns.
What are you asking for, specifically? iTunes lets you organize music how you want on the filesystem, or you can let it organize the music for you. The only thing it doesn't do is present a view of the filesystem, but the Finder already has that.
My personal experience such questionnaires is that the questions can be vague, redundant, or not even really ask anything at all. But, even when the questions are concise and precise, it's all to easy to "word smith" an answer that seems to give the desired answer without every actually saying anything. And the person administering said checklist may not even know enough about what the checklist is checking to vet the answers.
> Imagine a visitor has handles not tied to their real name. (Maybe they don't feel comfortable criticizing their government under their real name)

I have used at least 100 personas over the past decade.

But I've gone out of my way to avoid associating any of them with my meatspace identity. I compartmentalize by VM, Internet connection path via VPNs and Tor, contacts, activities, interests, and language.

> Should the visitor be forced to list these sensitive identifies in order to enter America?

I wouldn't. Because I'm confident enough that they couldn't be associated with me. Not without concerted effort by the FBA and/or NSA. Also, I have retained no records of all but ~10 of them, so I couldn't disclose them if I wanted to.

So bottom line, if you have sensitive identifies that you wish to keep private, they had better be thoroughly compartmentalized. Nobody who knows you in meatspace should know anything about any of them.

Why is killing accounts part of the way they do business in any way, EVER?

That's what destroys company reputation.

I may be wrong but my understanding is that the gold standard - Amazon Web Services - will only ever suspend your account until an issue is sorted out.

Whoever runs Digital Ocean needs to stand up and say very loud and clear to this community that they will never, ever delete accounts - if he doesn't then he can live with the business destroying reputation of Digital Ocean being "one of those account killing companies".

What company would ever host on "an account killer" - the risk is way too high.

There's a clawback provision in place in most major auction house contracts that states that the funds for any sold item (or the item itself) can, at any point in the future, be recouped from the buyer/seller if proven to have been stolen or fraudulent.

Basically as the seller of such an item you'll be sued, so be sure proof of provenance is sound. In this case the letter was part of a government archive, so back to Massachusetts it will go...

My Lenovo X1 yoga is way more durable than my phone. My kindle reader is too. The multimedia head unit in my car is rock solid compared to my phone. My keyboard, desktop PC, printer and scanner and screen are all more durable than my phone.

perhaps many of those are less water resistant than the phone, but the most common failure point I see in smartphones is their screen glass, and the second is the stupid glass in the back, where applicable.

Not long ago I consulted restaurant reviews in front of a restaurant on my then new phone. Country side, Italy. A big insect landed on my hand and instinctively I dropped the phone on the pavement. The degree of damage that incident left on the device is way beyond what is acceptable for common usage of any other commonly used object. Even my sunglasses are more durable.

Typescript is essentially just javascript with types. The compiler just checks and then takes the types out. So with typescript, if you need to migrate away, you just take your compiler output, and ditch your .ts files. The output is generally just as readable as the input.

The node label (e.g. "5 nm") no longer represents a physical dimension and hasn't for some time -- it's simply a continuation of a naming convention.
