I'm considering the same thing and switching to iCloud Drive as my family is heavily invested into the Apple ecosystem. The next versions of iOS and macOS will support shared folders, which was the one thing holding me back.

Also really annoyed about the price change. It seems to me like they know most people don't use the full 1 TB, or anywhere near it, so it's practically meaningless to extend to 2 TB. You really have to want to use all their collaboration tools to make paying $12/mo worth it. Otherwise they're just sucking up more margin.
I still remember when I helped a friend at another "famous company" not to get kicked out due to incompetence and wrote some program for him overnight. His colleagues weren't able to understand what it was doing for over a month, it made it to the software core of devices they shipped and he received a yearly innovation award for it. A year later I met him and he was sarcastically pointing out a small bug in the code he found (well, since then I try not to help).

Yet, he would have far higher chance to land in your company than me, because he would be super happy to pass FizzBuzz, whereas I would just walk away the moment you give it to me and make myself off for a month on Bora Bora to wash away the disgust I felt over your arrogance and pride you demonstrated on the interview.
Then don’t use the service. Nobody is forcing you. You want to use a service for free and have other people pay fir it.

You can also start paid versions of these services and show them how it’s done. People who don’t want ads are sure to flock to your services.
>> Put them in the drunk tank, sober them up, suggest or provide rehab options, and let them out with a small cash fine.

That is Hollywood, not reality. Tossing happy drunks into cells to sober up overnight is not a thing.

(1) There are no happy drunks. The drunks cops arrest are loud and aggressive. Often the physical act of arresting them results in more violent behavior.

(2) "Drunk" is not a thing for cops. They don't know if the person has had too many beers or had just taken LSD, or both. If they assume a person is simply drunk, and that person dies in the cell of an overdose, the cops will be responsible because they isolated that person. Cops are forced to treat intoxicated persons is more like patients than a 'drunks'.

(3) Mental health problems can look like, or at least exacerbate, intoxication. Cops cannot casually lock people up under the assumption they are dunk when in all likelihood they may be a non-drunk person in the middle of an episode. So cops must test people, evaluate them to determine what is at play. That takes time/money.

(4) Police cells are not happy places. They aren't private 8x4s with a soft cot. Spend a night in an LA lockup. You will not be getting much sleep. Casually throwing hundreds of drunk people into that mix will not help.

Assuming this is just about happy drunks, businesses that get people drunk and let them loose on the streets share the responsibility. We cannot allow bars and liquor stores, and their patrons, to rely on a pleasant police force ready to keep drunk people safe after the bar closes. If a bar is going to serve someone to the point of arrest-worthy intoxication they must contribute to the cost of keeping that person safe.

I saw a BBC doc yesterday about drinking in the UK. They have stores selling 3-liter bottles of 7.5% cider for four dollars. That is ridiculous. 3-liter bottles of dirt-cheap alcohol, cheaper than coke, are not bought by happy social drinkers. Any store selling those knows what it is doing.

Ask them,

How similar is this to auto allocated Docker container names?

Could it serve as a better alternative as you can hash some useful state attribute(s) for easy identification?
> Unfortunately I just haven't been able to figure out how to do a left outer join (or if that's even the right approach in Prolog :-)

That is probably my main issue with SQL: That the names of some of the keywords are very table-ish and not very semantic; like LEFT OUTER JOIN. I mean, if we have some facts, like how old people are, and what they like to eat, then what does it even mean that any of those facts is to the left or on the inside of another? I can't fit that into my brain.

But let's take an example. We have these sets of facts (which, if they were in SQL, would be in two different tables):

age(alice, 20).
age(beatrice, 30).
age(charlie, 90).
likes(alice, carrots).
likes(alice, chips).
likes(charlie, crumpets).

Then an INNER JOIN would probably be like:

age(Name,Age), likes(Name, Something).

This can be read as "What is the age of anyone, who like something?" (or more absurdly, "What does anyone, who has an age, like?", depending on what variable we focus on.)

I'm probably getting this wrong, but if we wanted LEFT OUTER JOIN it would be more like:

age(Name,Age); likes(Name, Something).

Which is more like "What's all people's ages, and what does anyone like?"

In Prolog, the comma means 'and', and the semicolon means 'or', so in the second query anyone, who has an age but doesn't like anything, will still be included. In this query, that would be Beatrice. That's a bit like a LEFT OUTER JOIN, isn't it?

> I find the idea of a simple Prolog, like a Datalog, very intriguing as a potential simple query engine for apps in mainstream languages–not having to worry about the maps, filters, reduces, flatmaps, and all the other operations we have to do to coax data into the right shapes in line-of-business apps.

Seen DataScript?[0] I think MiniKanren has also been implemented in most languages. I like how Prolog "forces" a declarative style though.

To be honest, it’s obvious that we’re already too late for “reversing” anyway: there is no practical way to dramatically change how 7.5bn people live and work, in just 4 years. Even if we all dropped what we’re doing this very minute and started looking for other ways to live, in 4 years we would’ve barely scratched the surface of the problem. At that point, whether we have 4 or 2 years before the tipping point, is fundamentally irrelevant.

Maybe we should just accept that change is coming, and brace for it.
I do a lot of UI/UX design as a part of what I focus on, both at work and for fun. This page is a juxtaposition of well thought out elements and things that make me go `???`.

Like:

- Good product marketing messaging
- Well done images and GIFs that get to the point
- News-site like past first article scrolling, I bet it drives more engagement. I even like how the UI elements change color when you go to another article.

What?:

- Huge spinning circular thing at the top
- Content not taking the whole size of the page but strangely taking the right 2/3rds~
- Non-retina images

Would love to see metrics on:

- Tweet highlight integration. Does it drive valuable KPIs?
- Font: They are using https://sharptype.co/case-studies/dropbox/ . The case study from the foundry that made that font has a section with color `rgb(181, 208, 230);` font on a `linear-gradient( #d20b28 , #d20b28 );` background. That's light blue on somewhere between scarlet, crimson, vermillion or venetian red color space. My brain slightly breaks reading it. Does having your own font drive engagement? What do the KPIs on that look like?
The difference is the UI. They all use the same* database format underneath.

Thr original Keepass was at first a Windows only app, so KeepassX was created as a cross platform reimplementation using Qt. Nowadays Keepass uses .Net and also is cross platform but Linux users prefer Qt because it feels more "native" than .Net.

KeepassXC is a more recent fork of KeepassX, which added a bunch of extra features. Notably, it added support for version 4 of the keepass database format, and it also allows you to use a browser extension to enter passwords inside web browser forms without needing to cut and paste.
And this gets back to my main point. If you wrote code that no one can understand, you wrote unmaintainable code that was a net negative to the company.

Is walking 10-15 minutes (especially in a generally nice climate) really a big issue? I hear scooters and bikes mentioned a lot for those cases where people might need to travel a mile. Most of the time, I'd consider having to walk a mile or so to get from Point A to Point B a feature rather than a bug. Certainly I had to regularly walk that sort of distance around college campuses and never considered it a particularly big deal--and I didn't attend schools in nice weather locations.
>Accumulation of a lot of UI clutter over the years.

Wow. I literally never see UI clutter, because I never log into the site, and only rarely use the iOS apps. DB is mostly just multi-system sync & versioning for me, and in that regard it works GREAT.
You can't disconnect that bit of Newspeak from what really happened, a hostile takeover of the Navy Department by the Army and Air Force that previously comprised the War Department (all this a couple of year before publication).

There is no such thing as absolute rights and privileges in nature. Just like any other laws or norms, they are a human invention, used as a tool for facilitating large group social organization.

Thus, it makes no sense to ask what is or is not a "privilege that can be taken away", since this is a question with no logical or scientific meaning.

The only thing you can ask is "given a specific set of criteria we are trying to optimize for, is it better or worse for this to be a privilege that can be taken away". Which, of course, depends on the criteria.
You're not understanding the article, and you are making the same dramatic predictions ("even more mass extinctions". The prediction is that we're heading for catastrophe, something that we'll never be able to handle. It ignores the geologic temperature record (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/65_Myr_C...).

You mention mass extinctions, but you don't mention that previous mass extinction events were due primarily to asteroid impacts and volcanic eruptions.

The thing is, most people want the least friction in viewing your Resume/CV and the best results I get now is from a public link to a Google Doc. This lets anyone view in the browser, copy and paste is not an issue and the can export it as doc/pdf directly if they wish.

+2.5C will not render the World uninhabitable, but it will do nasty stuff to the weather patterns in many parts of the globe, and it is expected that this will result in decreased food production and rising sea levels.

Most of the people on HN will be fine; we'll be alive, we'll still have jobs, and we'll have food and energy albeit at a higher price. Our societies may end up a bit poorer and the standard of living will probably be on a level that your grandparents had in the 70s.

Hundreds of millions of other people will be less fortunate.

To be fair, at the times you've mentioning US _was_ "lynching negros".

This is a crucial point. The huge changes to the ecology will make some places difficult to inhabit and destabilize food production, which will destabilize economies, which will lead to large social disruption and conflict.

It is the poor who will be least able to protect themselves from this destabilization. Not just because poorer/tropical countries will be disproportionately effected, but it's because it's the rich (globally or locally) who have the resources to protect themselves. With technology, with mobility, with "security".

Some who are now rich (globally or locally) will also find themselves less so.

When I see the standard the U.S. is setting for how refugees are treated, I'm terrified, even on just a self-interested level. Many more of us will be refugees in the future.

Well, you can cleverly hide FizzBuzz in some list/DP-related operations; that would probably make me laugh and I'd give you creative plus. Still, the original one (I read the original article that started this silly trend a few years ago) would make me think very low of you.
Pretty sure we've considered sulfur dioxide or similar, which has in the past been released from large scale volcanic eruptions that have cooled the earth. One such event was the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, which caused global crop failure due to low temperatures.

But water usage is absolutely throttled based on usage when there's a drought. I mean the police rather than the pipes is the enforcement mechanism but you will definitely be fined for using more water than necessary to water your lawn.

I think we can all imagine examples where this would get scummy but using network management to in good-faith give a better experience to everyone isn't really what people should be worried about.

I feel like the ISP throttling debate needs to be taken out of the realm of hackers where the mentality is "being allowed to do X is logically equivalent to being allowed to do X unrestricted for any purpose whatsoever" and into human territory where intent matters.

After reaching a certain critical mass, maintaining additional features and functionality to reach potential customers is counterproductive.

Besides the aforementioned gov/mil sites that archive.org announced a changed policy on, I noticed during the TurboTax controversy [0] that archive.org seems to have disobeyed robots.txt (2008) [1a,1b] and NOARCHIVE (2006) [2] for TurboTax as well. It wouldn't surprise me if Archive.org retroactively changed this because of the controversy, since they manually changed display settings during the Jo Reid [3] controversy. But the latter case involved a webmaster who set robots.txt to wipe out old pages, whereas Turbotax have had robots.txt + NOARCHIVE as a policy for years. I had assumed Archive.org wouldn't even originally store such pages during the crawl, but that seems not to be the case?

Humans could be fine. We've got the capability to turn energy into food in a purely artificial environment. (Google vertical farming). The price of food would go up significantly and society never does well when that happens, but our economy is big enough to feed 7-10 billion people that way if it actually had the will to do so.

Rats will probably also do well; they're pretty urban adapted.
