They recently changed the lower limit of the down payment to 15% in Sweden. But yes, you'll generally get a better interest rate if you put more of your own money into the purchase.

As a Swede in the middle of buying a house in the U.S. I have to say it's surprisingly similar.

The big differences between Sweden and the U.S. is the loan terms. Here in the U.S. the terms are extremely long, you'll typically get 10, 15 or 30 years with a locked interest rate. In Sweden you'd normally lock your rate for 1-5 years up to 10 years depending on your financial situation. When I owned a condo in Sweden I went for 1 year locked rate and then month-to-month once that first year passed. What you have instead of a fixed term is a fixed amortization. By law you have to pay back 2%/year until your principle is down to 70%, 1% until it's down to 50% and after that you can just pay interest if that's what you want to do.
Groundwork has been there for years, called 'Shared iPad' - but its for Education use only... Via an enterprise or education MDM solution you can restrict and configure the iPad in many, many different ways; again, its not for the consumer.
iOS allows remote wipe functionallity in the standard mail client. Hopefully this doesn't enable any spying... Personally, I'm happy for my employer to have this functionality (trusting them not to abuse it)... My personal data is backed to the cloud anyways, so if I lose my phone I want it to be wiped.
Eh. . . . yeah? I'm not sure that's a very strong criticism. We're much more similar to other mammals than we are different from them, so our understanding of human behavior provides a very strong basis for understanding other animals' behaviors.

There's a whole book about that sort of thing, by a fairly well-respected scientist in the field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expression_of_the_Emotions...

The Venice beach bike path is a "standard" mixed-use path. Wide enough for bikes to pass in opposite directions - total width is a bit wider than a full size pick-up truck. It's fairly twisty and bordered by sand on both sides, so if you run over the edge, you probably fall on your face.

As for appropriate speeds, a jog is about 5mph. That sounds reasonable and safe for a small-wheeled scooter. A townie/cruiser bicycle will do 10mph without too much effort, so that could be the upper bound too. Much faster with those small wheels seems dangerous regardless of location.
Other than stability, none of those applied to Raytheon while I was there.

The 401k match was 6% which, while good, didn't even come to what my wife gets from her non-profit. I was paying 25% of my health coverage, which is the highest proportion if any of my five employers. (I will day, though, that Raytheon had the best family coverage rates of any of them.)

I was salaried, and other than a few times was required to record no more than 40 hours in my timesheet regardless of how much time I needed to put in. The work/life balance was highly dependent on the program you were on, and I got trapped on a bad one.
> Is there any benefit to duplicating the implementation of business logic for each micro frontend

Im not too sure what else I can say that hasn't already been said. No coupling between the frontends means the complexity of the overall system doesn't go up with the amount of them you have and your organization can scale to infinity without increasing coordination. The architecture is best suited when you have a lot of distinct things (so duplication exists, but is kept to a minimum). You can still share stuff to avoid duplication in key parts. Injecting scripts, iframes, deep linking. Those are the frontend equivalents to backend microservices "service boundaries".

The Vancouver Aquarium went through this at a municipal level several years ago, ultimately moving its belugas to Marineland (they’ll now be moved to Spain). This wasn’t an issue of targeting a single park so much as finalizing in law what was already a growing consensus across Canada that had already ended several other captive cetacean programs.
That's not fair comparison. Servers are lower speeds because they have far more cores. AMD's desktop processors have more cores than Intel, so you'd expect the clock to be lower.
I'm pretty sure there were multiple comments about being able to make an AMP-alternative with regular HTML that's just as fast from the very first AMP-related post on HN. It may even have been the top comment for some of the first posts.

The one that people who make poor financial decisions use.

The service providers didn't automatically drop your monthly rate after you the subsidized phone was paid off, so people felt like they might as well get a new phone since they were paying for it anyway.

Nothing except that people don't know any better.

> And then the conclusion is that the most bicycle-like one is best because it's more bicycle-like. Seems like a category arbitrage rather than a fair analysis of mobility options.

And refusing to take bike paths with not-a-bike is apparently eliminatory rather than making the device shoot up to the top of the ranking.

Give the article opens up with

that'd be hilarious if it weren't so maddeningly lacking in self-awareness.

fucking great, because if there's one thing I want more than an electric moped doing 30km/h on a bike path, it's that moped blaring shit music.
The sites themselves are opting into AMP, I believe. Google isn't just converting the site to AMP automatically. The owners of the site themselves have to add code to their site for it to work with AMP...
I think Google is only going to play this "incompatibility" card more and more now that Chrome is the dominant browser.

We need more pushback against Google doing stuff like this, even when at first glance what they push for seems "positive."

So the #1 scooter is not a scooter?

Also, some cities are banning those pedestrian focused areas. In Austin, they banned ebikes and scooters from our waterfront area that has a 10 mile walkway around it.

I ride scooters in austin, tx every weekend. Its half as cheap as a lyft and there are lots of competitors. Here’s my top two:

1. Bird - cheaper per mile and pretty reliable

2. Lime - often faster than the others, but more expensive and sometimes have minor defects (braking issues, throttle delay, etc)

What would you legislate?

Your location is not private information and never has been. Not sure how you could even legislate to make your DNA protected private information- under HIPPA for instance, considering you leave it everywhere you go. Your fingerprint is not private, your face is not private, and your DNA is not private. I'm not sure how they could be.

There is a distinction between your identity(who you are) and your legal identity(who the governments papers say you are). Your legal identity is created with your birth certificate and ends with your death certificate.

Legaly you agreed to act under this legal identity when your birth certificate was created but since you where too young to give consent its not legaly binding.

Thats the argument but it would need to go through a judge who wont care about technicality of law as the law itself is a technicality to justify government.
The sibling post did a good job at outlining some techniques. I’m going to give you a simple example that might help with “ahhh you can get stuff under the noise”

Let’s say you have a noise source made up of random numbers from -1 to 1 (mean 0). And a signal that represents a binary 1 as 0.1 and a binary 0 as -0.1. Our binary signal gets added to the noise.

With one bit and one noise sample, we don’t really get much out of it. 0.567 - 0.1 = 0.467 and 0.567 + 0.1 = 0.667. Looking at 0.467 and 0.667, we can’t really make any judgement of whether either of those samples is a 1 or a 0.

If you extend your bits out though so that, say, one bit gets transmitted 100 times, then you can take 100 samples on the receive end and take the mean of those. Because the noise source has mean zero, the noise component of the (noise+sample) mean should come out around zero. So you get a mean of maybe -0.075, or a mean of 0.083. At that point, it’s reasonable to say “it was likely a -0.1 or 0.1” that was transmitted.

All of the fancy techniques enhance this process, but at its core that’s fundamentally what’s happening. Some of the techniques spread things out over different frequencies, some spread out over time, but it’s all roughly the same idea.
No tinfoil required. When in doubt about such issues think about whether or not the "bug" or "error" that people found in Google's solutions benefits Google. If it does, then it's much more likely than not that the "bug" was intentional.

At best they wanted to test user reaction, or at worst, they were hoping it wouldn't be discovered (see Wi-Fi scanning, Safari cookies block bypass, tracking Android users' location at all time, even when "disabled", etc).

Don't attribute to stupidity what can easily be explained by profit incentives (did I just invent a new saying/law?!).
There’s also this to consider: Google knowing enough about you to know you’re a human, and then wanting to use you to train. That’s why in some cases you can get away with just spamming whatever the hell you want in the picture grid. Because it trusts you enough to train it.

>I see the advantages of not being encumbered by ‘stuff’ but some possessions help define our personal history and are simply a pleasure to own.

Indeed. I have one of those giant wooden spoons you hang on a wall that I got at goodwill for like 3$. Most people would go "that is hideous, stupid and is just taking up space, throw it away" but I go "we carried that thing around all summer one year like a scepter being incredibly goofy with it in public, I'd never throw this thing away, we had a lot of fun that summer, I haven't even seen some of those friends in a few years now".

Then you get the reddit minimalist types that are like "Then take a digital photo of it and throw it away". No humanbot, I'm not like that.
I regularly ride my e-bike in SF but have also dabbled with the rental scooters. I have a hard time understanding the scooters' popularity, compared to a rentable e-bike like the Jump or Lime bikes. In my experience e-bikes have the advantage in top speed, stability, comfort and safety. Other than taking up marginally more space when parked, I can't think of any downsides. This matches the article author's conclusion. Can anyone explain to me what I'm missing?
Renting everything means you go from managing dozens of objects to dozens of contracts. Imagine managing acceptable use, wear and tear, cost depreciation, return dates, rate increases, and of course your time to manage this is counted as zero in the cost model. Sounds like a nightmare.
How is this confusing? What's not clear to you?
Oh, I see. Never mind then.
I've never used AMP so thought it was automatic for all or most websites on the internet.
Perhaps, but the Vancouver Aquarium had the belugas currently at Marineworld, and were prevented by municipal bylaw from allowing the them to breed (which was aimed at avoiding a different loophole where aquariums could maintain a captivity-bred beluga line for research purposes).

The aquarium argued it was a pure research program, and it was a legit research program that had been going on for decades at least, I think. But public opinion swung against them and they made arrangements to end their program. Mostly their position was untenable because the aquarium supports itself with visitor ticket prices and donations, and the simple sight of belugas doing neurotic laps in a relatively tiny tank was enough to cause ticket sales to drop once it was publicized that their living conditions were inhumane.

The good news is that it wouldn't even suck. I don't think so. We are being brainwashed (sorry, being informed about products and services via advertisement) that car ownership is the best thing since the pill, and that flying to a tech conference is a great experience. There are better (and much less polluting) ways to have fun. I believe without the fossil industry we will flourish and our quality of life will skyrocket.

Cars are more complicated to engineer than airplanes or Space Shuttles (2010)
It was not my intention to argue that the entire concept will never fly (I'm nowhere near qualified for that), nor that it shouldn't be researched. It's just that the post by bollu that you've responded to specifically asked if this is physically possible, and the paper you linked quite clearly answers "we have no idea yet".

Personally, I wouldn't be actually all that surprised if mathematics and computer science ended up solved some day by a system of chemical membranes, since, to put it extremely crudely, it was developed by systems of chemical membranes in the first place ;) That would raise some serious philosophical questions, though.
This article makes the bold claim that: ""Cars are far more complicated to engineer than airplanes and Space Shuttles. [Airplanes] don't have to be subjected to the same conditions customers subject cars to."

I work in the automotive industry and I would say this is false, Aero and Space are an order of magnitude more difficult conceptually and in terms of the organisation required to produce one.

A $2000(!!!) sofa should last you a major phase of your life. If you have three newborns then it should take everything they can throw at it for the next ~20yr. If your kids just moved out for good it should be the last sofa you ever buy.

That said, you don't get what you pay for, you never get more than you pay for. Not being an expert in evaluating sofa quality I'll take the cheap Ikea sofas that last half as long.
I think the justice system needs to be reformed to a rehabilitation modal and before it's able to investigate one's genetic family tree for any crime.

> this really seems like a case of prioritizing your organizational chart over the end user experience

No. It's case of being able to give the user more things they want, with each individual ones being built faster and optimized for their specific tasks without having to worry about the others. This comes at the cost of optimization of the whole (local maxima vs global maxima.).

If your product is something like, let say, Slack (one specific app that does one thing with a lot of features), it's a horrible fit.

If your product is something more like G Suite (several completely distinct apps that are semi related under an umbrella), that is where it shines. Other situations are things like internal apps where being able to DO something (at low cost) is often the priority.

There's a lot of ways to mitigate the UX impact, but yes, it has a UX impact. Its a tradeoff. Let's not forget that if you free your org of some burdens, they end up with more time to solve other problems, so it's not completely at the expense of the user.

What would it even mean to be better RSS? The idea is sites can preload an AMP page safely so that when you click on it, it can display to the user instantly.

In that specific case, isn’t Barb correct, no chills needed?
True, but it's also a pretty obnoxious form of nickle and diming for a company selling $1,000+ iPhones, and well worth complaining about.

It’s also yet another way that locked-down devices allow manufacturers to advance their interests at the expense of consumers. There’s a Jailbreak tweak that enables multiple profiles...
I will give you the benefit of the doubt, because what you've done here is a kind of microcosm, so intrinsic to the way people behave today that it dominates whatever passes as "public debate" in the United States. I did not say, nor do I assert, that it was not possible for the woman to have been raped. Given the circumstances, I also think it's likely to have been rape. But no one knows the facts, and it is not a foregone conclusion. And certainly not factual historical record. It is historical revisionism by someone pretending to be a journalist for monetary (and likely political) gain. If "obtuse" and a Wikipedia link is the worst I get for "calling out" this lying wannabe-journalist mass-media clickbait creator for publishing false claims as legitimate news, I'm okay with that.
Innumeracy isn't about the poor. I know a lot of people who play the lottery especially when the prize is big.

My concern with the poor and the lottery is exploitative. It believe it is akin to a gambling addiction and a false hope. It is a government run institution that exacerbates a mental illness or exploiting a mental disability.
I'm surprised I haven't seen more discussion on the actual bug in the comments. In the screen capture the user shows, the AMP header shows the link icon in the upper right corner, and when you click it it should show the real URL and let you navigate through (but that's not happening, hence the bug).

However, in my experience the header is totally different. There is an (i) icon in the upper left corner that shows the link when tapped, and the upper right corner shows the share icon and tapping it opens the share dialog. Note this changed for me recently (I used to get the link icon like the poster).

So Google is clearly testing different behavior, which probably led to the bug. In any case, I'd note the version I got that I think the (i) is much less clear than the link icon, and I'm sure the end result is people clicking through to the source site less often. Fuck Google and their aggressive attempts to hijack the web even more than they already have.
