It sounds like you are blaming pedestrians for not being "vigilant" enough, when in reality it is the cars that are not stopping and giving way to pedestrians on a crosswalk like they're supposed to.

>these crosswalks give people a false sense of security that they can cross without vigilance at any time

I'm Australian so I'm not sure if a crosswalk is exactly the same, but the whole point of what we call a "pedestrian crossing" is that a pedestrian can cross at any time with as much or as little vigilance as they want.

It is illegal to not give way and it is illegal to drive across the pedestrian crossing if there is a pedestrian already on it.

I very much doubt you'll be able to locate a study showing that jaywalking is safer than crossing at a pedestrian crossing.

> or the prioritizing of thinness over battery life.

Apple’s current MacBook lineup starting in late 2017 (i.e. the thinnest laptops and with butterfly keyboards) have the best battery life of any Apple laptop ever made.

I don’t recall Gruber ever complaining about the battery life of Apple’s thin devices. Do you have a link?
It's definitely not 'extra-legal'.

Espionage against a country that has 1000 nuclear warheads pointed at you, and practices using them, is a very responsible thing to do, and very much sanctioned by government.

Well it wasn't exactly unprecedented. Far from it. Every Chief Executive election, from the very first, has had some smell of corruption about it - threats of finding trouble makers, or Beijing interference etc. Not forgetting Beijing immediately threw out the system and produced their own electoral college, and IIRC required votes to be public before casting - how perfect for applying pressure. Carefully built an electoral college to be pro Beijing but that appears independent on the surface. They are show elections.

Lam, like all Chief Execs before her, was Beijing's choice, but now HK is not as outsize an economy compared to China, Beijing feels able to breach the spirit and letter of the agreement they signed with far more impunity. So they're pushing more, harder, from relatively gentle interference in the 90s and early 00s. It's not an isolated one-off. Whether a technical breach by putting Chinese border and customs for the bridge in HK, or kidnapping and getting show confessions on TV of HK booksellers and publishers. They've got into the habit of interfering more and more, and being fairly crass about it.

I'm not nearly as well informed as I was back around handover, but my few HK friends still there are now thinking (not sure how seriously yet) about emigration yet again, just as they had after Tiananmen, and after handover. What Beijing does seem to have done is wake up the younger generation who were generally more accepting of the system they grew up with until 14's umbrella protests.

The volume of any pointy thing is the area of the base times the height divided by three. It’s not necessarily the most useful thing I know, but I do use it from time to time. (Disclaimer: I did math competitively in grade school, so I have a lot more formulas burned into my head than I’d expect most other people to know. That doesn’t mean I don’t think people should forget how to do simple math like solve a linear equation in one variable, calculate interest, etc.)

> Apple and the fanboys calling it a "Legacy" port are completely out of touch with reality.

It is now a legacy port on Apple laptops. I think it's the correct term to use in context, regardless of fandom. It is referring to ports that existed in the past, and are being phased out on the platform in question.

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer – that the designers are handed this box and told, “Make it look good!” That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

In your opinion, what are the main factors or thresholds (impression volume, RPM, etc) where a self-serve solution starts to make sense for a publisher? Ie. what framework would you use to determine viability?

Separately, in your opinion, what sort of stack should a publisher consider if they want to be privacy-friendly? Obviously if certain values are left out of the bid request, fill RPMs will suffer, but that may be acceptable for some publishers as the cost of striking a better balance between privacy and ad revenue.

I realize there's a lot to unpack, but feel free to get technical with me, I'm on both the buy and sell side.
I don't understand how publishers are going to continue pushing DRMed media if they have to keep every sale as a liability on their books.
I guess this is another instance of Alan Kay's "computer science is pop culture". We don't remember our history because reinventing it is so much fun.

People will say to you "sir/ma'am" in a customer/representative situations, e.g. retail salespeople will call you sir, and so will often clerks in government offices. Outside of these, not really.
and they don't need to if they don't want to but switch employers, branch offices are a thing.
Sir and ma’am are simply polite ways to address any man/woman. It isn’t a formal title and you address anyone you like using those words when you want to be respectful.
I would be jaw-on-the-floor shocked if you were banned for your comment, and I think the suggestion otherwise gives your ideas a "too hot for HN" cachet that they haven't earned. There is no evil empire hunting down the renegade free-thinkers who dare to say that LGBT activism is disproportionately influential. If anything, that's the whole point.

"We're here, we're queer" isn't just a catchy rhyme, it's a statement of purpose: the problem isn't just discrimination and violence, but marginalisation. If you can treat a person as an outlier and the group they represent as a rounding error, it's easy to justify mistreating them. I mean, there are always a few angry weirdos who show up at the town hall, right? Just ignore them and they'll go away.

So why throw huge flamboyant parades? Why make flags and shirts and bumper stickers? Why force us to think about them? Well, I can probably name a bunch of groups that you aren't forced to think about, and are doing far worse because of it. That's activism. Being aware of something is a prerequisite to caring about it.

But you can not put a tzar bomb on a rocket, that can be fired from a silo or even from a submarine. And to threat America and Europe your rocket need to flight 10000 miles or more and reach Mach 5 or even faster. All possible only with high yield, compact warheads, which the Chinese do not have yet.

I don't disagree, but other factors are dispositive. There need to be visual signals that the community doesn't support a post. Fading downvoted comments and displaying [flagged] provide such signals. Internally, this is important because it gives the community feedback about what kind of posts are wanted here. Feedback is the best way to regulate a complex system. Externally, it provides a check against people passing around links to dreck that showed up on HN and claiming that it represents the community. (For example, people sometimes do this on a popular twittering site that shall remain nameless.) With these visual signals, visitors to such links can see when the community immune system has rejected the comment.

Do these mechanisms get mis-applied to some comments that are unpopular but don't break the site guidelines? Yes they do. We do a pretty good job of undoing that in the case of flagging, but there are still some comments that end up getting downvoted and faded undeservedly. I don't know what to do about that, other than urge HN users to give such comments corrective a.k.a. compensatory upvotes. I don't believe that it would be good to reduce the power of downvotes, e.g. by not fading the comments. The bottom of the internet barrel gets ugly. We need those white blood cells.

You lose a lot of velocity with the air. So, you’re initial velocity can significantly exceed 8000m/s while still hitting a distant target.

This loss of velocity applies to all rounds costing long rang shots significant energy. However, a larger issue in anti ship combat is travel time. A WWII round fired at 820m/s at a target 24 miles away spent almost 90 seconds in flight. Higher velocity means flatter trajectories and vastly less time in flight.

A couple of years ago I did a drive from Port Headland (Northwest Western Australia) to Perth. When we got onto Nanutarra road (Near Paraburdoo), the maps decided we should take a road that was actually the Lyons River - if we were foreign tourists it would have led us into a spot where we could easily have died.

Unfortunately in outback WA, many tourists have experienced this and succumbed to it.
It's good that it's happened - will raise wave of criticism Apple deserves.

It's good that Apple will remain the main client of Jony Ive - we all make mistakes, but he did a lot for devices design and I'm sure he still can push it forward. Maybe new position will give him more freedom, maybe Apple need more freedom :)
>I feel like these crosswalks give people a false sense of security that they can cross without vigilance at any time.

Yes, if the walking-person symbol is on the thing, I expect to be able to walk without dodging these megaton deathtraps who want to be one minute earlier to the job they hate. I especially despise that cars are even allowed to turn into a street while pedestrians are crossing. What's the point of the walking-person symbol light if you're gonna allow cars to go through anyway during it? Dumb.

The largest non-Apple player in the industry, Samsung, continues to ship flagship phones with a 3.5mm jack and with waterproofing that has been consistently ahead of the iPhone. Samsung Galaxy has been IP68 since the S7 in 2016. Something the iPhone didn't achieve until the XS & XS Max.

The idea that this was about waterproofing is a fabrication.
Did grep treat the input file as ASCII or UTF8?

I remember another story where someone claimed to be faster than grep. Turned out the comparison was unfair because if this distinction. I believe LANG=C is enough to turn grep into ASCII mode.
Ignoring the provocative/trolling part, studying digital design from a cultural-historic PoV might turn out to much harder than reading books written centuries ago because of lost sources, formats, and devices.

Everything here could have been similarly said about the change from horse-drawn buses to internal combustion. Wah - you can't just have a stable-boy feed them hay! Wah - you can't just clean up after them with a broom! Wah - you'll need to train people used to dealing with horses to deal with engines.

I don't think moaning about having to get new tools or training is particularly helpful in the grand scheme of things. If you are going to spend money on new buses, spending money on new tools is a given.

Buses seem like such a no-brainer for electrification, I'd hate to think that we're carrying on with diesel polluting our air and killing us just because the mechanics are losing their shit over having to do something new. Please wake up.

We add those terms to the end of a phrase in lieu of a person’s name. As in, “How may I help you, sir?”. But the usage referenced in the article was putting the word before the person’s name to indicate that they’ve been titled by the British government (or the crown, perhaps?). As in, “Sir Jony Ive has announced that he will be leaving Apple.”

Very different things.
When managing a special territory like Hong Kong, I think Beijing's goal is to promote its interests as much as possible, at the lowest possible cost in terms of instability.

What is the reason we observe seemingly the opposite policy: irritating people in silly ways, for little if any gain, and at a large cost in public discontent?
Textual type annotations and static type checking tend to go hand in hand. There's no point in using type annotations if the language doesn't do anything to validate that they are true.

Ajit Pai's Silence on Phone Tracking Abuse Is Eroding Faith in His Competence
while i understand the general sentiment, this type of outcry and little quip is kind of silly, because it's too late. everyone knew what they were signing up for, and people still know what they're signing up for with kindle, itunes, netflix, and every other "you're just buying a temporary license" service. meanwhile, libraries in the u.s. are struggling despite being one of our greatest ongoing services. libraries are awesome, but they are having to redefine themselves (not necessarily a bad thing along some vectors) because people aren't using the books that are there. so in effect, the books already stopped working, but that doesn't make for good twitter hype.

and as far as killing off services go, giving full refunds is pretty rare and should be applauded.
The problem with frameworks like this is when you try to do something which isn't strictly standard, or lack understanding on whatever the framework is actually doing. Things will no doubt break, and then you have a 15 layered framework stack trace to try to debug.

You can't dodge knowledge with frameworks, only use frameworks to effectivize your knowledge.

Neither is the demand for Uber's services.

If prices for rides go up to pay for mandatory drivers' vacation and sick pay and dental insurance, the reality is they will, as a group, have even less money than before because customers will switch back to cabs, public transit, or worse, driving drunk.

I think his point is that Python developers often do wish that they could have type validation written into the language, rather than having to litter code with assertions.

I certainly feel that way.
UK TV and movies use "sir" and "ma'am" (or "marm") pretty frequently.

In the U.S., they're not so commonly used outside of very formal service situations (e.g., military, customer service). Friends don't call each other "sir" or "ma'am", except perhaps as a joke.
I have to say this has happened increasingly over the last 2-3 years ... or lets just say I've only just noticed this then, as I moved to a new city and was a digital nomad for a bit, so I had to rely on google maps in new and unfamiliar cities more often than I normally would have.

Before that I could pretty much rely on Google maps to get me to my destination without any trouble at all.

I wonder what changed? or if its been this way all along.
