yes, CCP was funded by Soviets and it's not a secret. ideas always come from somewhere. according to your logic, USA would be impossible b/c all the funding fathers were brits, at the time. or, you were suggesting CCP is still under Russian influence? well, it's possible. besides, I don't support every move of CCP.

I'm pride not to use 'we' here precisely b/c I know I can't represent all Chinese. whom am I to claim to have that authority? I know whom I am, and I know I have blind spot in my view, and I happily to admit the fact. and I'll be even happier to know if there is any wrong with my logic. the question is, are you?

or, maybe you want to shield the light on the tactic about 'Red herring'?

Yes thank you. I’ve been saying this for a long time

My VW has an amazing UI where the centre console is a small touch screen but it has a bunch of tactile buttons around the edge that also interact with the console. So the only time you need to use the actual console as a touch screen is when entering precise details like an address into the sat nav or phone number to ring. Which, in both scenarios, I am more than happy to do at the start of the journey or pull over to do. Everything else, from the radio to the air con, is controlled via tactile buttons.

More over, any important announcements that come up on the centre console can also be displayed on the dashboard as well. Including sat nav. So it means I don’t even need to look at the centre console to glance at stuff if I don’t want want to.

VW have gotten a lot of bad press in recent years but when it comes to in car UIs, I’ve driven few vehicles that compare equally well.

> Second, part of the problem here is that these platforms are a) open and b) can push this content, including to minors. I'd probably be willing to have Youtube and twitter thave _no_ censorship but in exchange the platforms should be be dumb directories and/or not publicly accessible.

I'm talking about the Canadian hate speech laws, not YouTube censorship. Companies can refuse to host whatever they want.

> Third, hate speech can lead to violence. I feel that this point needs to be balanced against someone's right to listen (is that really a right?).

OK, so do you ban the bible or not? Religious texts are the biggest source of hatred of homosexuals, racism, misogyny, and antisemitism. If we don't ban them, then clearly the hate speech laws will only be used to silence unpopular views instead of harmful ones.

I strongly encourage you to listen to Hitchens's arguments, because he addresses every point you've brought up except for corporate censorship.
Touchscreen are so common because they're cheaper.
They also look great when you're buying the car, and using the screen while parked in the store.

It's simply not optimised for usability but for attractiveness (both cost and aesthetic wise)
The description of the jog controls sound a lot like those in my 2006 Honda.

The description of the torque "“Doing our research, when a driver would reach towards a touch-screen interface in any vehicle, they would unintentionally apply torque to the steering wheel, and the vehicle would drift out of its lane position,", doesn't make any sense. I doesn't matter whether you reach for a touchscreen, button, or bugle, it would produce the same effect.
I suspect you're being downvoted for the big shouty capital NO, and the fact you're trying to refute someone's opinion, when they were explicitly asked what their opinion was. This came across as being negative and confrontational. Reading your post more carefully I can see your heart is in the right place and are mainly just trying to provide context and comment but the initial confrontational tone drowns that out.

This is a very open and courteous community, where a bit of generosity in interpreting people's statements, and courtesy even to people we disagree with, is highly valued and it seems to me you have some very valuable views and experience to share.
I can't imagine reaching those without "applying torque to the steering wheel" (or straight blocking it which is much worse).
My touch controlled stovetop is a nightmare, I can't imagine dealing with a touchscreen in my car.
My daughter who is now 9 years old is just as excited as I was at that age when it comes to computers. We play with Microbit, Raspberry Pi and of course Minecraft. We also play code combat together, which is really an amazing and fun way to learn coding. Everything is on her promises, I never push her.
All "how to use tablet as development machines" I saw were just "how to connect keyboard to tablet and connect to remote computer".
You accidentally apply a global style, and your entire UI is broken.

You need a different styling inside a specific visual component? You need to fight specificity and override a parent ir a grandparent or a global style.

In most UI systems this is not a concern.
I have an old friend who’s been working with PHP for almost two decades. We’ve teased him a lot over the years “because PHP”, but the truth is that in 2019 PHP is actually rather relevant. Everything is becoming a web-app, even major enterprise solutions are turning into some sort of web-api and a MVVM JavaScript front, and PHP is actually rather suited for this. It’s fast, relatively safe and reliable and you won’t have trouble hiring for it.

I think one of the reasons you don’t hear too much about it is the same reason you don’t see a lot of JAVA or C# articles on HN, it’s old. If I look at my local jobmarket for development though, those three languages make up around 90% of the current open positions.
There is the old style JIT, RyuJIT introduced with .NET Framework 4.6, MDIL, .NET Native, Mono, .NET CF, IL2CPP, and the research ones from Singularity and Midori.

So while it is hard to state what each AOT/JIT compiler is capable of, naturally they aren't 100% all the same.

I have recently bought a 1 year old Seat Leon with their newer touch screen setup. I find it pretty well made - you still have all the dials and buttons you need for climate control and audio volume, but if you want to set up navigation you have the touch screen in a well reachable location, which is much more convenient than a dial. Best of both worlds IMO. The only thing I do on touch screen while driving is to play/pause bluetooth audio and zooming in/out of navigation.
> More here: Posts link from January 2016

lol.
I think the big issue is in a majority of vehicles, UI/UX is nothing short of atrocious. Navigating menus can often be totally unintuitive, even for techie users - now imagine older folks attempting to operate these while driving. In this case, if you can't do it right, it's better to not do it at all.
“I don’t think so” is not an argument.

Texas is a well-defined territory with a well-defined set of cultural characteristics. Its population has as much of a right to self-determination as Catalunya, Scotland, Croatia, Slovakia or Kosovo, should a consensus emerge in the region. This is hardly controversial.
Exactly ; I had a similar experience sometime back when I was lent a 2010 Audi A4 for a few months, there was a quite natural control knob placed much like in the article's pics. It really is night and day compared to my brand new Peugeot where you have to look at the screen -and wait for the interface to update on each action- to do basically anything that is not taking a call / moving the volume / changing the track or station which you can do from the wheel.
Hi ,
Interesting to hear this. Out of curiosity, what field do you work on which gives you the opportunity to do this?
> You can start to explain that if the researchers both flat out state their approaches and assumptions in interacting with their female subjects.

I would think that the foundation behind your argument - which I agree with - implies that this isn't actually possible. You have an infinite regress of biases.

Empirically, what you can do - to take your example of those menstruation researchers - is to get more data from researchers of different backgrounds to try and statistically isolate those biases. This is part of "standard empiricism". You also always have to live with the fact that data is sometimes too noisy to be meaningful.
How would this make the uBlock Origin project like Chromium? The lists work and if the bigger lists choose not to block everything you'd like, you can simply enable additional lists. It's just a data source.

> He just did not worry about reinventing wheels.

That is what annoys the fuck out of me with the software community. We actually reinvent constantly but everyone praises that we never should do it. It feels like a secret master plan of a hidden lobby that want to claim novelty and creativity for themselves.
Seems like the future is voice control. I'm pretty used to talking to my phone to do navigation and similar things while driving, but it can be frustrating because it gets confused a lot and often makes me push a button. (vanilla Android) But you have to imagine it will get better.

People are used to being able to do sophisticated things that go beyond the sort of controls you can operate by feel. You used to get by if you could adjusting the volume with a knob and pushing one of 5 preset radio stations, and maybe being able to operate most the heater/AC controls without looking. That's not good enough anymore.

Voice seems to be the only real option. Maybe by the time it they work out all the kinks the cars will all be driving themselves.
I am absolutely stunned that it's taken people so long to realise this. How the bloody hell could anyone have been so stupid to not realise that we need buttons with tactile feedback so we can keep our eyes on the road.

It's extraordinary.

I do not understand the sentiment on HK March.

No one bat an eye when a China citizen arrested on Canada soil to be extradite to US.

When China trying to pass a extradition bill on a China territory, the world goes batshit.

The reason that most journalist peddling is you may be trial unfairly in mainland China. You always get a fair trial. China law is fair in China. Shariah law is fair in the Islamic country. Plead the fifth is fair in US.

The problem comes when one thinks their own version of law is better than their neighbouring country law.

And those who comment about how hk democracy and China CCP. Democracy is not a be all system. In a Democratic system, the 51% will always dictate against the other 49%. I grew up in "progressive" multi racial country...so progressive that the majority race which have the Democratic power pass bills that give their race significant advantage over other citizen. Slippery slope system.

Disclaimer: I'm a 3rd gen Chinese descent grew up in a Democratic country and living in China now.
Aren't most of the controls on your picture not on the center console? The bloody hazards button is behind the driving wheel and inaccessible to the passenger.

For what it's worth I've pretty much always known the controls to be over the center console.

And the instruments being there as well has been happening for some time, at least for some vehicle classes e.g. on the C3 picasso anything but the purely driving-related controls is on the center console: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/citroen/c3-picasso/61746/used-...

Well the choice is less obvious when your two options are an iPad or a throttlebook with jam-happy butterfly switches.

In all seriousness, too many of my Mac-loving friends and coworkers are using laptops that're 4+ years old because Apple decided shaving a millimeter off the thickness was worth cutting key travel by 60% and having display hinges crack off the frame. Considering how long most of them have been buying Apple they deserve better treatment.
That's like saying child labor was never mandatory. If labor is your only possible source of income, [0] and there are heavy incentives to perform labor, then people will perform labor. It being voluntary does not change the fact that it is heavily coercive (especially when your work pool has the lowest legal rights within the citizenry—a similar situation with child rights in the past).

My experience with HAProxy is limited to maintaining https://github.com/ricardbejarano/haproxy, a HAProxy Docker image, which has both glibc and musl variants.

I haven't used HAProxy in any environments other than testing, but as far as I can tell both variants behave equally. In fact, haproxy.cfg for both images is the same, they only differ in their build flags.
So... some apparently tiny minority of activists --- in low-tier positions, no less -- is forcing policies of tech companies that they'd otherwise never choose for market reasons, or for reasons of values intentionally arrived at by high-level management.

That's either quite a coup... or an unlikely explanation. Possibly even a motivated one designed to work the refs, so to speak.

You know what's much more likely? That any political compasses involved in low-level decisions made at most tech companies are distributed in about the way that staff is. And that you could expect that to be normally distributed unless managing staff skewed it with an emphasis on some value. Which is another way of saying the composition of the company reflects management values. And since market incentives probably still matter, and shape management values, whatever we're talking about in general terms here that's is going on at these businesses, it's probably not just a function of a minority of activists.

> to the point of people yelling to have him mobbed and beaten in the street.

Welp, free speech, you know. Guess there's nothing we can do about that. If we did, we'd simply be using force to silence those people, and it really sounds like you're categorically against that, right?

> it is not the brand, but the behavior, the semantics, which is important.

Brand is semantics. If one is important, the other is.

So... what's a nazi? For that matter, what's "far left"?

> Who uses violence, intimidation, and vandalism to silence opposition and for political gain?

In spite of some of my challenges to the GP, they had some answers to this question you don't seem to have fully processed.

> Who dresses up in the same clothes, like "gang colors," and uses anonymity to get away with doing the above?

I can think of several answers that check at least 2 boxes out of 3 there, maybe even all three to the extent that bureaucracy confers anonymity. What's yours?

> We need to be skeptical of this authoritarianism masquerading as "justice" and "openness."

We also need to be skeptical of those who offer an pretense of concern of vigilance towards authoritarianism, but oddly seem only interested in looking one way -- "this" authoritarianism. Which, since it apparently consists of the tyranny of justice and the threat of forced openness, is likely about as consistent in its conception as the threat of far left capitalists.
Sensible interior design with hardware buttons is one of the main reasons why I opted to get a Mazda over other competition. Most infotainment systems were horribly janky and laggy and some companies even forced me to use them for things like HVAC controls (I'm looking at you Peugeot). Wasn't a great experience.

Having said that - I still like the fact that my Mazda has a touchscreen active while stopped. Entering Nav directions is way faster than with the commander knob.

The Night My Doorbell Camera Captured a Shooting
I have recently passed several technical interviews at multiple large companies. The first one I botched completely. Then I looked at some algorithmic courses from Princeton on Coursera and passed the rest of the interviews in a breeze.

My point is, there _are_ free and good quality courses out there and if you have enough experience with actual work then it is just a matter of brushing up on the foundation. In the end I’m glad that I did.
The result isn't the same though. With hate speech there has been an open debate in society and the media about what is acceptable and what isn't, and that consensus is not complete and is regularly challenged. Even the media that is censored, such as videos of hostage executions, is often discussed widely and the content described so people still know about it andcan often track it down if they really want to, it's just not propagated in it's raw offensive form. The state censorship in China is of a completely different order.

It saddens me that so many people draw this sort of false equivalence. All it does is provide comfort and support for the sort of pervasive state imposed news blackouts and retribution against individual commentators practiced in places like China.
I have a Mazda 3 (2016). There is a touch screen but the touch mode is active only when the car is not mooving.
There is an option to limit the maximum archive recursion `--rga-max-archive-recursion=` which defaults to 4. That is also needed to handle droste.zip [1] which is a zip file that contains itself. So for huge archives it will simply take a fairly long time, unless you limit recursion more.

Where does your plastic go?
Are there any kind of Semantic-Versioning like controls?
Assuming companies are omniscient..

I suspect it's really difficult to tell from within whether your bottom line is being hurt or helped by the interview process.

The effects are not immediate, and you rarely have the possibility to see how the numbers would've looked if you had done everything differently.. of course, that goes both ways.
All day interviews with no compensation are unprofessional bordering on insulting.
How Is BlockChain Useful for the Mobile App Developers?
Not really, no. The lists themselves are ultimately less interesting than the technology used to run them; there are other lists, and if easylist soured, a community-sourced alternative could be made relatively easily.
All the new high-trim VWs I've seen have pretty much touch-only controls with some capacitive non-tactile buttons though.
Same question: Who would take Ruby or Django for a new project when the language is not even existing in public discussion?

But honestly, the main reason is that you can find PHP developers everywhere and they are cheap. Given that you want to build a project that grows and advances, that is maintainable, for which you require a vast ecosystem to kick-start your ideas and a lot of very good tooling and free sources of knowledge, you won't find a better platform than PHP.

Ok, Perl might be an alternatively hugely developed language but it is really complicated to find new developers for it. In contrast, you will find a lot of developers, testers, sysops that have the knowledge for working and administering the PHP tech stack. Yes, you could use the coolest language but how would you be able to pay super expensive Go/Kotlin/Node developers once your company has left start-up mode and is there really any gain from that? The risk to be betting on a dying horse might be too high or, less dramatic, everyone is just cooking with water.

If you want to earn money from your company and not just sell your expensive personell at some point it makes sense to start easy and advance the people you have. If you are building API based systems you are not locking yourself in a technology anyways. Given how flexible and fast-moving technology is today one could probably also find a good argument that you absolutely should always base your projects on PHP.
But #3 is a reality that slowly blossoms, not something you're born into as a young person. We are also all judging each other to different degrees, and some of these judgments do matter.

Yes, slavery makes slave owner more rich. But overall yankees were the ones doing competitive capitalism. People having their own small businesses that competes and treating your own work as something you sell.

South society was more about everyone having his place and being supposed to stay there. Social classes, entrenched large plantations that work slaves instead of hiring people. Slaves dont competed in market by selling their work and whites would sell slaves work out of pride.

Large chunk of economy was in slave ownership, it made people rich. But, it was not as much capitalism the way north was as a result.
