ffs, the video is an example, you really think anyone ties it that loose in practice? are all of your arguments going to be strawmen?

Your link is broken. and if all you are showing is a tightened version it's pointless.

> You definitely do not know how a bowline works

Based on what? your disagreement? you assuming i tie it loose like an example video? I really don't care what you think anymore, i've explained and reasoned in great detail (and i'm far from alone in this reasoning)... but you don't argue against my reasoning, all you do is accuse me of not tying correctly and then don't give specifics, you've never even seen me tie it so it's a massive assumption based purely on "I don't agree", you obviously can't be reasoned with. I've tied this knot probably over 10,000 times, and all of your arguments are very troll like, goodbye.
If you absolutely need a joint to not fail before the wood, use epoxy, mix in some glass fiber cuttings. It's indestructible to the point I wasted considerable amount of sandpaper sanding off a joint I needed to remove. Nothing else would so much as cut it.

Sure. But would they have done this without the recent publicity about third-party app tracking? I suppose that they must have been working on this for some time. And maybe they deserve some slack.

But there should at least be an apology for not acknowledging tracking by third-party apps. For years. While they were touting their privacy stance.

And it's not just about behavioral ads. Some repressive governments have used iOS apps against dissidents.

Yes, but phones that Apple swaps out generally do get recycled.
You can tell people how to subscribe outside the app.

> Something is not working with this carbon credit market, the article says demand for electric cars is not there so the auto makers can't generate their own credits.

Just low quality articles - most other car makers have long delivery times for EV due to demand, 6 to 18 months in some cases. Their real problem is that they can't or don't want (negative margin?) to produce in quantities.
That might not be their main motivation, but still it is a conceivable outcome were Tesla to collapse. Not sure that leverage is quite the right word though - there’d be others that would want it (or rather the capability) to survive
"Dominant player" isn't especially relevant in European market law. Essentially the test is that you are of sufficient import to materially affect pricing in that market, which Apple definitely is.

You can, but if Fish's value proposition is ease-of-use, then people who can't withstand that need to be able to use fish easily still. Not being able to run `PORT=5000 yarn start` or `make && ./a.out` or whatever snippet you copy-paste from the web without understanding are going to be a big pain point for newcomers to fish.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a happy fish user myself. But breaking backwards compatibility with shells from the past 40 years and then saying "you're doing it wrong" is not how to make easy-to-use software.

Agree with you entirely.

When the British left India, there was officially a transfer of power to the congress party. The first prime minister was appointed by the party. The constitution, the police, the bureaucracy and the court system was inherited by the people.

Unlike the developed world or China or Vietnam, India did not go through a bloody revolution. What that meant is that systems that were explicitly meant to harass and exploit the people is what we have inherited.

India runs two parallel systems, the official system and the traditional system. In the past [up until recently] urbanites [directly or indirectly worked for the govt] who were also the elitists suffered the official system but also benefited from it. The rural masses [80+%] were out of the official system.

Today with greater urbanisation, more and more people not used to the official system and forced to deal with it in their own way. First generation urbanites out number the original city dwellers.

There is a need to have a small government, lower red tape, hopefully the new government which has an overwhelming majority can carry out the overhaul necessary to set things right.

In a way Trump and his trade war can be a good thing and push Indians to realise, that they can not continue being the "source of raw material, cheap labour and a huge captive market" - exactly how the colonist always wanted us to be.

I normally agree with concerns about security through obscurity, but I disagree here: this isn’t a security feature. It is spam protection. Everything that creates more work for any attacker here helps reducing spam, on top of that Google itself uses code obsfucation (”Security through obscurity”) in their Captcha for precisely that reason.

It won’t scale, because it mustn’t scale. It is a dead simple solution to a complicated problem and works as long as it works, without selling your user data and brainpower toone of the biggest tech companies there is.

If it should happen that the spam bots overcome it or your site becomes big enough to be targeted you just change it for something stricter, stronger or more sophisticated.

> and you have people driving over 200 km/h on the left. When you're stuck behind a truck, you have to be very careful before switching lanes since you need time to accelerate.

Indeed, you really need to get used to expecting some crazy BMW driver stuck in your back and flashing wildly when it was clear behind seconds ago as you switched lanes to overtake at 150 Km/h or so. But those who drive 250+ on the left lane are used to these situations already.

One problem I think HN has in the way it views comment quality is the assumption that the only reasonable metrics for "quality" in a comment are novelty ('adding something new') or information density. Comments are conversations. The deeper into a thread you go, the less relevant that conversation becomes to the general audience, as the context shifts from the broad subject to some more fine-grained tangential minutiae between fewer and fewer people.

Expecting all comments to provide intellectual merit or brilliantly quotable nuggets of insight, or considering those that don't to be harmful grossly misjudges the intended use of a forum. We're not here to post theses at one another.

I also disagree that humor and brevity in a comment are implicit signs of low quality. One can find many examples of brilliant people with a well developed sense of humor, and of its employment in intellectual discourse. Indeed, the lack of a sense of humor is seen more often than not as a sign of intellectual deficit. I suspect there is a correlation between HN's distaste for humor in comments and the growth of meanness in comments over time - humor as a virtue signal is suppressed, so its opposite becomes encouraged.

Of course, there is a legitimate reason to want to police and reduce obviously poor comments, trolling, etc. But I think HN tends to cut its own nose off to spite its face in its efforts to engineer quality beyond what's actually necessary.

I don't think it's a conscious choice, I think that since the US has been a magnet for talent for so long, a lot of politicians, and a lot of people, have normalized it and think it's the natural order of things. They think that talent will keep coming, no matter what policies they implement, and that is simply not true.

> The German autobahn brings out the worst in people. Road rage is a thing

Road rage is a thing everywhere, it has nothing to do with the Autobahn. It's arguably more dangerous in cities where people stop their cars and get out to display physical violence. All over the world there are people who don't honor speed limits and want you to bugger off from the left lane, at least on the German Autobahn it's usually a crystal clear situation since the slower driver doesn't have the excuse that it's illegal to go faster anyway.
> 30% ... Apple’s angle? ... inclined to think it’s incompetency

This 30% number is accurate but hardly all tax.

First, companies attempting to compete with Steam have found it costs 12% to 18% to just run a digital store, without all the app review, customer discovery & acquisition, hosting and delivery, and ecosystem integration Apple and Steam are doing, much less human support.

Second, just a credit card transaction can cost 2.5% - 5% depending on the customer behavior. On a percentage take versus value provided, that seems much worse than the store cost, and it’s a huge chunk of the store cost.

Third, Apple lowers the recurring publishing, hosting, transaction, and support fee in year 2+ to 15%, still including the credit card processing.

It’d be incredibly difficult to operate a trusted digital app sales ecosystem (with human app review and support, refunds, etc.) at scale with less overhead.

warning, I ramble quickly

Because the market isn't there. I know we like to believe otherwise but the majority do not care. They will reply to a survey with what the expect the person asking wants but at the end of the day they have no reason to change their buying habits.

I really enjoy my Tesla 3 but I am a fan of sedans and coupes. The Y will make it more useful to some but even then it won't solve the immediate issue. That for all their supposed warts petrol powered cars don't require you to change anything you are currently doing. The habits we have established over generations are so ingrained that the time spent fueling and maintenance is not an issue. Now of course they could just plug in at home but people see the costs for charging station installs and say screw it. Infrastructure won't fix this. EV's just don't match petrol cars in common capability in the eyes of shoppers.

Finally, there just isn't enough coverage of the type of vehicles people are buying let alone at any reasonable price. Don't get fixated on the average selling price of cars to determine where an EV should be priced. Vehicles not clean sheet designed to be EV show their failings right up front and cause people to price compare to the petrol version; this includes the Chevrolet Bolt, the Hyundai and Kia cars, and even the Audi and Jaguar cars. Those last two are both incredibly disappointing on range.

Range also is only considered valid for fair weather or better. Get into the 40F/4C ranges and watch your range go goodbye. I can travel anywhere in the US easily with the 3 without concern but not in winter, I do damn well better than any other maker's EV in that regard. Range needs to be much higher to offset any concern owners have, to let them be lazy in charging. Charging speeds aren't too much of an issue but will be once range comes up.

Another option in the range category is, get mid one hundred mile range models out but get them as close to 20k without tax incentives. that might get some of the local only crowd to jump but that is a very price sensitive area.

To the downvoters, I'm curious why you think America weakening its largest tech companies wouldn't help China?

That sounds kind of comparable to one of the reasons why gesture interfaces (the waving-your-hands-in-the-air type) have such a hard time catching on: no haptic feedback and not a reliable enough success rate compared to real buttons, or even touchscreens. It doesn't matter if it's 99.9% accurate, it's the 0.1% failure rate that will prevent adoption.

It has been a long time since I used Visual Studio but I remember it as the best IDE I have ever used for C++.

I am now working on Linux with Sublime Text, Makefiles and the command line. I am most comfortable with that setup but there are many features that I miss from VS: the debugger, online help, code navigation, ...

Not that these features don't exist in other editors and IDEs, but with VS, they worked reliably and out of the box.

Note: VSCode is completely different. It is a multi-platform text editor, one of the best in town. A bit lacking in the performance department though, that's why I am still using Sublime Text.

This is just cover to prevent any political speech outside of what the two political parties approve of getting any outlet. Remember that politicians have near unlimited means to get their message out and loathe the idea they cannot control others from not doing the same.

That is neither required nor recommended and potentially dangerous. The correct protocol is to ignore pushy cars behind you and stick to your overtaking maneuver. But it is also questionable to even engage in overtaking if the car on the middle lane is so fast that overtaking takes such a long time.
