Exactly! What a stupid design UX.
Well, that's a big selling point for most vehicles, electric or not. You want people to recognize your car. Why would anyone buy a BMW if people wouldn't recognize it?

I think this is going to be a problem for the Audi e-tron. It looks just like a Q3/Q5. I'm not sure I'd recognize it on the road.

This reminds me: What happened to the markup rewrite that was announced almost 5 years ago together with the Firebase API? https://blog.ycombinator.com/hacker-news-api/

As far as I can see the markup never changed after all.
1. It looks years for gmail to copy boomerang

2. Gmail has no desktop app. It's reasonably fast, but not as fast as Superhuman.

3. Superhuman is a niche app, gmail caters to everyone. They can't reorient gmail around a tiny, high revenue portion of users

4. Gmail's iphone/ios apps lack the vast majority of desktop gmail's customizability features

The competitor to Superhuman would be a similar niche app, not gmail itself.
Nobody can afford to care about all of the bad things in the world all of the time. Unfortunate but true. When people do find the attention budget to care about a bad thing, why is that a bad thing? Why is it appropriate to be dismissive?

> The vinyl resurrection is mostly due to hipster cred, and a whole mythology that has sprung up around the (imagined) sound quality benefits.

I think that was the start of it, but at this point it's spread well beyond hipsters. One of my kids bought a turntable and they do the same thing I did when I listened to records 30 years ago - lie on the floor and examine the sleeve and liner.

Aside from the large format artwork, I wouldn't underestimate the appeal of building and having a collection. People collect vinyl toys to sit on a shelf. Is collecting records all that different?

> There are quite a few distributers that offer CD-quality downloads.

Not really and the ones that exist are expensive and have poor selection.
Sounds like an excellent edit: [ strikeout Linux] kernel bug report
In practice I've found it's not really a big deal, because if you google "sanic" neither this project nor that one shows up. My users will search "sanic tool" or "sanic build" and their users will search "sanic web" or "sanic python"

I guess it's sub-optimal that there are two projects with the same name, but I grew too used to typing "sanic build" over the years to seriously consider renaming it
Chrome's v8 Javascript JIT gets attacked all the time. I can only imagine the fun to be had attacking a kernel which uses JIT extensively.
Recently discovered that Google flights not only has a matrix when you're choosing dates, but also has an even better one after you've already chosen dates to view the price differences for +/- 5 days on both the departure and arrival.

Just click on "Date Grid" after you search for your query and it will give you a matrix. I can't believe I just found this!
> The battery isn't supposed to be impressive.

Range anxiety, cost and charging network are top 3 EV adoption hurdles. The first is addressed by a larger battery pack which in turn help address the cost via economy of scale. Giving the rate of lithium battery cost reduction, the same price point of 35kwh pack you can buy 60kwh in 2 years. In other words, for $35000 you can buy this E with 120 mile range or another EV with 60Kwh with 240 mile range, which majority of the buyers will choose?

Also EV efficiency matters - Tesla is the current king of efficiency. My Fiat 500e can have the same 120 mile range with a smaller 28kwh battery, which means Honda E is less efficiency or have a poor battery management system (BMS). This brings up the next point.

> This car is designed from the ground up as an EV, it is not an ICE car where the gearbox has been replaced with batteries - that is what the e-Golf is.

That's simply not true. If this car weren't designed as a compliance car why doesn't Honda bring it to the North America market or sell globally? Having 50%-50% weight distribution and strong torque are native characteristics of an EV, having less to do with redesign EV platform.

Honda/Toyota are known to be the two major Japanese auto makers that are EV holdouts. They poured billions of dollars to bet on fuel cell and hydrogen cars and invested heavily on hybrid technologies. Honda have never been fully onboard with 100% Battery Electric vehicles (yet) and NEVER develop a EV native car platform like VW Group's MEB[1] or BMW's i-Series[2]. Their last attempt was a compliance car Honda Fit EV in order for them to give emission credit in California.

Because there are plenty of platforms where Java runs and C# does not, the world is not constrained to Linux and Windows.

Copiers, phone switches, IoT gateways, SIM cards, military control units, drones, Intel ME and a couple of phones.

And all of them have libraries that work across all JVM implementations, regardless of the OS, not the hit-and-miss that still happens between Framework and Core, without a good story how to go cross platform [1].

As for Oracle, they rescued Java while no one else cared [0], kept Maxime alive transforming it into Graal, made several improvements to the language, while allowing jars from 20 years ago to still run unmodified in modern generations of the runtime.

I use both platforms since their initial releases. Each of them has plus and minus.

[0] - Only IBM did an initial offer, that they withdrew afterwards.

[1] - Naturally there is Xamarin, but it isn't without its issues and doesn't run everywhere where Swing, SWT or OpenFX run.
I've never heard of mdb before. I mean I've never actually used Solaris (OpenSolaris/illumos to be specific) for anything other than a few experiments here and there but nothing in production. But I've been intrigued by it mostly due to watching talks by Bryan Cantrill. It seems that at least Joyent bets heavily on it, and it seems that's mostly due to ZFS. There's also DTrace in this area, again haven't used it, but I've been itching to use bpftrace on Linux as an equivalent. Anyway, what I really came to ask is, who uses Solaris or illumos? Does it have a future? How relevant is it?
Yeah, that's another big problem. Rules are complex, but most companies in the space are taking a simple approach by defining static rules rather than ones built on top of market conditions that humans can easily reason about (eg "this non stop flight is $500 more, is it worth it? it's the only reasonable way to be awake during tomorrow's meeting"). It's all very broken, and we're hoping to solve it

Totally agreed that the diversity of technical innovation is how we got here and its fantastic. Hopefully we keep up with more innovations (such as npm alternatives :cough:).

Its easy to see why some folks would get riled up over this crap though. Like, if you don't like React right now, but want to do frontend development professionally, your job prospects get slashed in half or more. Really like Vue? That's awesome! But you might have a small fraction of the options your peers do when interviewing. Like a more exotic solution like Svelte or Elm? Hope you like working remote or are okay with relocating for that, because there's probably not that many places to work at in your area.

So people will try really hard to get the community to rally around their favorite choices. And the tools without cheerleader squads often fade away and die. Rock and a hard place.
That's a valid question to which I offer a hopefully interesting answer: given that Cryptonomicon came out in 1999, it would have been a prediction (or anticipation) of a future that was more and more true over the next 10, 15 and 20 years - especially if you were in the 99.9% of the population that was outside of the ultra-nerdy pre-crash tech bubble that we live and breathe in and take totally for granted today as HN members in 2019.

I'm reminded of "This Is Water" - the David Foster Wallace commencement speech where he started with an allegory about the frog making small talk with a fish. I paraphrase:

"The water is lovely today, isn't it?"

"What the hell is water?"

The downsides might be (I'm guessing) performance for very complex apps and lack of pre-built third-party components.

There is definitely a spectrum of simplicity among the frameworks. Angular seems to sit on the opposite side of the spectrum. It has many benefits, I'm sure, but in every aspect they've chosen the more complicated solution.
It is still actively developed and the problems you are talking about are long gone. It is a amazing framework if you know how to develop Mac OS X applications as they have been able to mimic almost all the functionality for use on the web. You can use the Interface Builder in the latest version of the Xcode and quickly create user interfaces. It has been around for more than 10 years and is very stable and mature.
I imagine a repo of “terminated stories” kind of like how clinical trials have to register their trial before knowing the results.

Probably not practical for NPR, but I’m going to try it out for my internal collection of projects.

It seems to be going pretty well so far. Despite some serious missteps in body design, they've managed to build one of the world's safest passenger sedans. If they were good at their jobs too, it would have been even better.

They've also managed to build out an entire supply chain for building more electric cars yearly than any of their competitors. That doesn't appear to be a feat that will be matched for at least a couple of years, even if Tesla were relatively stagnant. Instead Tesla is aiming to continue 50+% average annual growth for another couple of years at least.

Continue? Yep, their growth story is faster than that of any American car company in the world's history. I'm not sure if there are any worldwide that would compare, but it seems doubtful.

Of course, there are plenty of things wrong too, just as there were when the automotive industry was born and the Durant types ran the industry. But what they've done is absolutely remarkable.
> sounds less efficient since you'll need to re-print the entire page with every change.

Huh? No, not at all. As far as I understand, React has algorithms that replace only the html that changed in a dom subtree (and that is called virtual dom, not shadow dom, which is a different concept).

But if you already know exactly what has changed and where to change it in the page, there is no need for more complex algorithms to kick in. Just take the pointer to your div or cell and change the content.

Bottom line: React is written in vanilla Javascript. Can't do better than it.
The slow behaviour is mostly noticeable on mobile Chrome, but will have a look, thanks for sharing.
As an engineer, I get pissed whenever I see 100% uptime, or eleven-nines, nine-nines, or other impossible targets. Like, how am I supposed to design a system with numbers like that?
To be fair, if we're staying in the parameters of the thought experiment, we're targeting the HN user base, which I suspect isn't using IE11 at nearly that rate...
> Do you have sources to back up the claim that these people left because of safety or ethical concerns?

No, none at all, that was my point. The departure of three execs in a week does not imply that it is a fast paced work environment nor does it imply safety issues.
It isn't in their best interest to have a reliable status page. They want status page to contain information about failure only after people know about issues through other means. For the same reason cloud providers don't provide rebates on outages unless you ask for it explicitly.

I think the only way is to have status page operated by an independent 3rd party, but I don't think there's a viable business model for someone to provide such service. Perhaps there might be even a risk of lawsuits against you.
Many consulting shops actually use both, they see it as an asset instead of doing platform wars.

>How would it work. Do you get to 90 years old and they pull out your brain and put it into a newer body?

I don't recall the title but in middle school I remember reading a scifi/horrorish thriller about this exact scenario, the problem they ran into is that the brain still ages, and transplanting it into a younger body doesn't magically de-age the brain itself.
I find this sort of thing fascinating both for what it means about our own consciousness, but also what it means for emergent consciousnesses. We're not sure when a dying brain stops being conscious; and we're not sure when a once-dead brain that's revived starts being conscious again. Why do we think we'd have any idea when an artificial brain awakens to consciousness?

I feel like the same ethical concerns raised in the article about accidentally reviving a person into a sensory-deprivation nightmare could also apply to accidentally generating a thinking being that can only express itself though shopping recommendations.

We're a long ways off yet from a comprehensive ethics of universal consciousness.
For dynamic content, the only alternative to DOM manipulation is rendering to a canvas element.
I'm going to assume you've had some sort of vehicle accident in your life.

You know that moment when you can see the inevitable, but you can no longer do anything about it? That's roughly where I see humanity in 10 years. Maybe it will take 15 or 20, but it seems highly likely that we will be passing the point of "oh shit" quite soon. There are too many reports, of too many extremes, too close together. Far too many "sooner than expected", and "more than expected". All the consequences won't be home to roost, but they'll look inevitable... Maybe first phases of normal climate isn't any more needing a new normal or "no such thing as normal", or first signs of farming failures. Comparable to say 1937 appeasing Hitler, it all seems vaguely OK, maybe he's not really that bad, but it's very, very clear where it's going and soon. Some parts of the world will be fully living the nightmare.

If that's the case, we'll also have passed all the easy and affordable routes out that were available when people started talking about it 30 or 40 years ago. Several tipping points may have clearly tipped. All that will be left is emergency drastic action to try and mitigate. Fix or avoid it? Too late. Reverse it? Good luck with those tipping points.

I have children, I dearly want to be badly wrong. This decade's events makes me think I, and the IPCC may be at the optimistic end of things.

Case in point: I had scheduled a call yesterday with BibliU (who posted in the June Who's Hiring) for today, and their person was a no-show to the call. No email, no phone call, just a no-show to the video call. That could have been for any number of reasons, but the lack of communication on behalf of the companies posting in the Who's Hiring threads now has increased significantly.

Try talking to people with bee phobias, instead of acting only on your own experiences. I get a high percentage of people who were either stung as a child or witnessed it happen to someone else.

It's very similar to your wasp experience, and some people's experience with certain dog breeds. What terrifies us is when a creature lashes out and we don't understand why. If we understand we feel we have control of the situation.

Most of us [lack] that feeling of control with wasps (I like parasitic wasps, I still hate the hornet family). Some people have this with chihuahuas or pits (hard to read body language). A lot of people who fear bees have the same thing.

I have to show them that you can put your face right up to bees foraging and nothing happens because they are busy and have no opinion on your proximity (it's the hive they care about).

People won't 'show up' for things they have no feelings about, or things they have negative feelings about. I don't want to deal with another generation of suburban bee-haters when I'm old and grey.

Edit: tortured use of negatives

I'm a huge React fanboy, but if you try and step through the React code with a debugger, we're kind of a far cry from the days of Backbone and even Angular. For the common mortal, it has to be treated as a black box. Fortunately, its fairly stable, so it's rare you have to care, but...

If this is a problem, why is with Superhuman and not the client at the receiving end? How tracking pixels are handled is a client issue. If anyone's violating your privacy, it's your email client and not the sender of the email or the sender's email client/provider.

I think it's analogous with EU's "cookie consent". Cookies too are a client issue. Instead of annoying mandatory popups on every site, browsers should handle cookies better by default.
