This reminds me of that robo company that you could text anything you wanted to and they would book/figure it out for you. Love that you are honing your focus in to Slack and Travel. Goodluck!
The meme that you can 'save up' or 'train' your mental reserves has seen a bit of a come-back lately. However, the scientific evidence of such a thing is scant to none. In general, people that claim you can train your focus and eureka-moments are not looking at the evidence. Brett at AoM has a good intro article on it here: https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/motivation-over-disc...

Tl;DR: Be disciplined, not motivated. Don't worry too much as well.
Turning off read receipts doesn't actually turn off read receipts, it just does't show the state to the user. Facebook still knows whether or not my message was read.
I did not read the full complaint, but it is possible that something fishy happened there even if Oracle has it's own interests.

Having more then 1 company that provides the service could help preventing vendor locking and provide better proces c in future.
It's really only an issue on mobile when you're collapsing larger threads. Try collapsing the first comment in this thread, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14656945

Not terrible, but there's a noticeable (maybe ~1 second on my phone) delay. My desktop is fast enough that it still feels instant.
I think the biggest risk is not the ride, but the vehicles on the roadway. Way back when I used to ride 6.6 miles from home to the university, but stopped after the second time
I got run off the road. The bus was slower, but safer.
Yep - I work on an email platform and tracking pixels are common.

However, the ones I work on only record the time that a given email was opened ... BY DESIGN they do not include WHERE that email was opened, the IP address of the reader or anything else, because a) that's just creepy and b) it's not necessary to measure the impact of a given campaign.
> One absolute doozy of a requirement kicks in if the app stores user data on a third-party server. Google will now require those apps to pass a third-party security audit, which the app developer must pay for. According to the company, the cost "may range from $15,000 to $75,000 (or more) depending on the size and complexity of the application." The message here seems to be "Don't store Google user data on your server."

They've surely paid for this. And, ironically, this is the sort of app that Google supposedly set up this gatekeeper process to keep off their platform, as this was meant to "safeguard user privacy."

Other than performance, was the developer experience any different? Just curious!
It's obviously a retro-modern take on the 1967 Honda N360. For what it's worth, most of the motoring press think that it looks fantastic.

Thanks Adhityaa! So cool that you found us on here!

You're so right, there are no solutions that focus on point A -> B door-to-door, and we've found that the reason for that is that most solutions don't know their end customer. They don't include information like home address and office addresses. The only solution that we can see handling end-to-end is Google Flights since they can easily integrate with Google Maps, for us, a very important goal is to help people manage their day of travel, not just their bookings :)

Bees are pretty good about 'live and let live', at least in my experience. Unless you step on a bumblebee barefoot or something of the like, of course...

I do want to be an ethical company, and I agree about all these decisions adding up over time. This article convinced me to deleted all of my MailTrack accounts and uninstall the extension.

I was using MailTrack for a while, and it's been a very valuable tool, but I can do without it.

I was also talking to some lawyers about GDPR, and they said that this kind of tracking is actually illegal for recipients in Europe, unless I explicitly ask for their permission to include a tracking pixel. So I was already planning to get rid of this, and I'm glad that my emails are now GDPR compliant (even for people in the US.)

Ethics is relative, what one person deemed to be ethical might be not be for other.
I mentioned in a child but I wanted to point out there are different species of bees. Solitary bees are growing in popularity and offer more effective pollination than the tradition honey bee and are non-(or less)aggressive.

Considering there are millions of people still using IE11, I'd say it will continue being a problem for a long time.

18% of my users are on IE11. Some industries (healthcare, for example) don't change if they don't perceive something to be broken.
You still need ventilation systems with electric vehicles. A lot of stuff produces particulates or vapors that need to be vented out.

Haha, people pay you to bid-snipe on eBay for them?

It just baffles me that manual/third-party bid-sniping is still a thing. eBay has had automatic bidding for more than twenty years. You'll pay the same whether you put in the winning bid a week in advance or 5 seconds. But people see that "you lost this auction" notice and they're irrationally convinced that it would have gone differently if they'd bid at the last minute, somehow.

The 40kw 2019 Nissan Leaf is broadly in this ballpark, sells well enough at a lower price point than the typical 200 mile+ EVs. This Honda is roughly price competitive with the Leaf too, but given lack of US announcement hard to directly compare. Worth remembering many quoted European launch prices will be inclusive of sales tax in the 15-20 percent region.

For sure it's not enough for absolutely everyone, but 95 percent of US commuters travel less than 40 miles to work. Its workable for a great many.

With rear wheel drive, I suspect this thing will be a riot to drive compared to the Leaf though!
Some facets can add strength to a panel, though so can the correct curves, but I'd agree too many are also a turnoff.
Scientists Are Giving Dead Brains New Life
I see two parts to its design.

The major form is just a generic small city car, which is clearly the target market for this design. The short wheelbase combined with maximized passenger compartment leaves little room for any other form, whether electric or ICE. As others have mentioned, it looks similar to many other subcompact economy cars.

The minor styling to me is not just retro but references the low-budget street racer scene. Flat shading and almost shaved appearance, not unlike second hand cars I would see among teenagers and twenty-somethings, stripped of their OEM trim to cleanse it of the stuffy practicality of its original owners.
I know what it looks like. You can have your opinion on it, but the primary reason this vehicle is making noise is for how it looks. That's style.
You're right, flights/travel is so mission critical that we don't see "AI" taking over this workflow anytime soon. There will be a real person verifying every decision for the near and medium-term future. The automation component helps these real-people make decisions faster (ideal case is 30 seconds or less once it gets really good)
30 Books in 20 Weeks? Why Reading Challenges Are Great
How does this square up with the advice not to "warm up" your car that seems pretty common from automakers these days?
Clean code is something you should arrive at through iteration rather than a minimum acceptable requirement to put something in production.

In general I would like to achieve the functional goal of the present in the most expedient way possible. If cruft and technical debt from being expedient yesterday is slowing me down, it's time to refactor.

Trying to write perfect code from the start is a fool's enterprise. Often times the full requirements and constraints of a problem will not make themselves known until you're halfway done solving it, or until you're on to the next related problem. Front-loading architecture and software design work often means solving problems you don't really have, or painting yourself into a corner when it turns out the problem is not exactly what you thought it was.
Sure, but the more expensive the home, the bigger a mortgage you can take.
Thanks for the correction, I don't know nearly enough about the situation.
Of course.

Then again, when some lunatic American colonists tried an alternative system of governance everyone knew was absurd and evil, it worked out surprisingly well.

I guess what I most of all am arguing against is unified world government.
Here's a killer feature everyone wants:

I want to put a date range and get the cheapest plane tickets.

Big range, I want to find the cheapest time of the year to fly and plan my vacation.

Nobody lets you do this.
I love that the design is vaguely reminiscent of the original Honda Civic.

Linking to their Calendar would be interesting so you can know their business schedule.
Or download the files from your "Manage Your Content and Devices" page using the "download and transfer using USB" link which gives you the older AZW3 format.
This is not whataboutism since the article explicitly discusses the role of the Western countries setting an example:

"There is an increasing trend around the world to treat borders as law-free zones where authorities have the right to carry out whatever outrageous form of surveillance they want," Omanovic said. "But they’re not: the whole point of basic rights is that you’re entitled to them wherever you are. Western liberal democracies intent on implementing increasingly similar surveillance regimes at the border should look to what China is doing here and consider if this is really the model of security they want to be pursuing."
Yeah, but then you look at a modern car, and there are plenty of electronics that are critical to its functioning, especially safety. We reply on those every-time we drive. The car industry is probably 1000x more risk-averse than your typical SV startup.
Wrong is a wrong.
Great questions :-)

> How much does this cost? I don't see any pricing information.

Carry is free for individuals and small teams. We don't charge for just booking travel, but we do have upgrades available for larger teams (admin panels, constraints, etc.). What are you interested in using Carry for? Seems like you work at a large company, feel free to email me at tejas [at] carry [dot] travel.

> Do you bill the charges directly to the customer's card or do they get billed by you and then you separately purchase the flight/hotel/etc?

At the moment, most of our transactions are done the latter way (get billed by airline/hotel/etc and then separately charge the customer), but we're looking into some ways to avoid this, particularly
- Tokenization: Spreedly/TokenX
- Using something like VGS, https://www.verygoodsecurity.com/

Let us know if you have thoughts here! Payments are a very interesting topic
looks like a civic cvcc, i like the round eyes too. looks retro, shame its not in FreedomVille USA.
That's a pretty big downside.
It's fun to dive in and "modernize all the things" - and certainly you can learn a lot in the process (perhaps at the expense of the business).

I don't believe that the only reasonable alternative to that is to "choose boring tech" though. Like so many things in life, it's very contextual, and this is where you need someone with a lot of background and war wounds who can discern valuable improvements from yet-another-CADT-library-rewrite. Sometimes they're hard to differentiate from an old crusty cynic though.

I'm resistant to either pole - I think there's often a 'middle way', where you can leverage proven, high-quality software (think PostgreSQL) while still benefiting from modern approaches (pragmatic functional idioms, etc). I'm old enough to remember when the industry was generally more entrenched in ossified approaches - it definitely has its downsides too!

The hard part is when a (supposedly) proven technology turns out to be a turd. Much of the job of choosing good tech appears to be using heuristics to avoid low quality tech with good marketing. I'd love to have better tools to guide that problem!
This is fascinating. Can I ask your reasoning behind this behavior?

They can stop searching, we're it.
It seems very vital to specify when records began to better understand the range of time being discussed.
They almost certainly did that just to keep the trademark active.
This thing would totally work for me, and I get both the Honda "small is better" ethos & the design aesthetic.

I live in the Suburbs, my driving is usually ~10 miles a day on work days. There are no busses that are helpful for commuting. I often have to pick up a kid or do an errand that makes bicycle commuting tough.

There's charging at work. But even so I could go a week or more without a charge. My use case is light enough I could probably get by on just doing slow 120V charging without upgrading the wiring in the garage most of the time.

Long trips that exceed the range of this or the leaf are probably < 10 days a year for me. There's got to be lots of other drivers who are in the same boat but don't really get it/understand.

Are you talking about Magic [0]? I've used it a few times for rather esoteric items and had great experiences.

I actually have already (replaced the AC compressor, which cost ~$1600).

Landscaping was about $500 for the whole year. Either way, that's only $2100, compared to something like $10,000 I would have paid in HOA fees in an older condo around the same area.

Renovations are not-at-all comparable, as they are strictly an improvement. I don't know of a single HOA that came in and renovated someone's condo for free.

1% of house/land value is still cheaper than HOA fees in 90% of cases.
It would certainly reduce it. With table-layout:fixed, the default behaviour is that every cell is the same width as the others. With the normal table layout algorithm it’ll attempt to rebalance as every new cell’s content is added. That makes for a very flexible layout that automatically scales to best fit the content, but have to flush and redo the layout for the whole table every time a column width is calculated to need to change.

Im sad at how much the design and look of the car that they're actually bringing to market deviates from the model at the car show.

I _really_ liked how the concept looked, enough to have started investigating the potential of importing one from Europe when they came out. With how the actual car turned out looking, I've since cooled on that.

As much as I'd love to have more people in amateur radio, and the ability to use encryption, I think both the licensing and prohibition on encryption are fairly critical to keeping things running smoothly.

The test includes lots of useful information such as requirements to transmit your callsign and using minimum power necessary.

The prohibition on encryption is pretty critical to enforce other rules such as only using it for non-commercial purposes. Encryption isn't actually necessary for any of the stated purposes of amateur radio (experimentation, recreation, training, contesting, emergency comms, etc). You can still use any digital mode, including digital signatures, but not encryption of the content.

I might be in favor of creating a class lower than Technician, and allowing taking the test online, though. You should still be assigned a callsign that you are required to transmit.
Targeting the process or behavior that lead to an event is far more effective than targeting the person that triggered it. Do not conflate the two.

Agree, this would be super useful! Have you tried Skyscanner's whole month feature? I believe they allow you to search for the cheapest tickets within a month and (if I remember right?) even within the year.
My thesis is that if you care about being tracked enough that you'd want to turn it off, you're also technical enough to do it.

I may be wrong.
