My favorite summary of this entire pattern is that VCs would happily fund a company which sold dollar bills for $0.90, figuring they could get users now and raise prices later. (After all, they already raised the price from $0.70 and nobody complained!)
I do agree with you. Now that I think of it I rarely write "use it once and forget it", because as you said it will come back to bite.

Maybe open-source software is today's standard, but I imagine it wasn't back when those airliners were first designed.

Now, imagine they did open-source their code: I imagine those codebases are humongous and it would take months if not years for security issues to be found by the community. How do you make sure that a bad actor doesn't find a flaw before the community does and uses it?

So open-sourcing sounds totally unrealistic to me.
Not sure that's a bad thing. It probably hinges on the unit economics of their ticket obligation to the studios.

For example, if subscribing induces people who like going to the movies enough to do it at least monthly to go more often--maybe 2 or 5 or 10 or 20 times a month--the main liabilities seem like: subscribers displacing people who buy full-price tickets, turning frequent full-price purchasers into subscribers, and hard-core min/maxers who refuse to buy anything else at the theater.

I'm not sure how the plans work, but the first is probably mostly-fixed by things like not letting pass members reserve seats, and no-pass stipulations for new releases, etc.

There's not much you can do about the third, but I'd guess most people are more likely to get a snack or drink if they aren't explicitly paying for the movie, and even more so if they know they're watching 8 movies a month for $13.

If the profit on those exceeds the studio's cut of ticket sales, and if the majority of subscribers are attending more, they might come out better the higher the average number of subscriber-monthly attendance goes?
tl;dr after reading Google's blog post (https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/advanced-prot...):

Google Chrome will now detect, if you have sync turned on, if your account is enrolled in Google's Advanced Protection Program (https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/), and in case you are, give you stronger protection from malicious downloads.

The ZDNet article adds a lot of fluff around this, and weirdly calls the Advanced Protection Program "Gmail Advanced Protection Program".
Because there's a lot of 'progressive'[1] governments that have committed to stopping climate change that are currently:

1. Not committed to turning down existing fossil fuel extraction.

2. Are actively committed to expanding fossil fuel extraction.

They need to be called out on their charade, as frequently, and as loudly as possible.

The answer to the first question is excellent. More of that could be applied universally, especially to this board.

Seeing how, I KNOW I have been 'shadow banned' on this board by some admin who may have 'thought they were doing what was best' when in reality, they are doing just the opposite.

Not one of my posts contained any vitriol or mistruths, yet someone, somewhere, just couldn't handle just that.

The truth.

Thanks HN admin(s) for showing me your true colors for the second time.

This boards and it's admins are nothing but a joke. A sad lot.

Nobody is building anything unique with the same tool. I get your point though. The more handholding these frameworks do, the less we learn it seems.
it's not like people haven't thought about this a lot over the years. I've worked in both industries (solar power and on the electrical engineering side of automotive) and have seen these calculations over and over.

On space: the car may be that size but the roof is smaller. The car tends to get dirty, be in absurd orientations, etc. Plus don't you want to park in the shade if possible? Ever driven in a city?

You're suggesting multi-junction cells which cost an order of magnitude more than mass production polysilicon cells. For a vehicle where they are trying to trim the BOM by pennies (e.g. resorting to 8-bit CPUs in the ECU).

I mean, great, more power (ahem) to them, but I can't make the math work.

It's like the BIPV roof that musk keeps promising for delivery by 2016 or sooner: people have been making them for years and year and yet somehow they don't get deployed. Why? Well physics and economic factors like labor to start, as well as safety (which is the killer issue for me) and, quite significantly, aesthetics, which a lot of people seem to care about (I don't). Having the idea, and even making them, is the easiest part of getting them deployed.
Really? No C++/C/Python developers ever over-engineer anything?

I mean, you only need check out all the vulnerabilities in said C++ software for verification of that fact :)

I think what you're trying to say is that you don't consider 'webdevs' to be "real" developers.
Thanks for the insight and for wading into the firestorm here.

From the screenshots in the article, it appears there is zero indication to the user that this will be going through Grubhub when they tap that button. Was that discussed? How do you feel about that in terms of it being sufficient notification?

Would you agree that in addition to the limited tech savvyness of restaurant owns, there may also be limited business savvy such that they would have been aware of a term that would allow Grubhub and Yelp to do this? In this case, the restaurant owner seemed to have no clue it was occurring. So presumably if the user and restaurant owner are clueless, and Yelp and Grubhub are taking a cut they may not have otherwise received, I'm a bit unclear as to how that could be viewed as any sort of positive.

Do restaurants receive any reporting of "Grubhub via Yelp" orders/calls?

It's becoming so complicated that I'm struggling to come up with ideas for how to get my 13 year old nephew interested in web development.

When he was born I used to dream of having him look at a button on a web page and him asking me "what actually happens when I click that button"

I shudder to think where I would even begin to answer that today.
There's lots of faulty reasoning going around society:

* There is no climate change.

* The temperature charts are rigged.

* Scientists conspire to get more funding.

* Dissenting opinions are suppressed by the mainstream.

* Taxing CO2 is a way to control the economy and stifle growth.

* CO2 is actually good for plants.

* CO2 does not cause climate change.

* If there is climate change, CO2 is only a minor contributor.

* Humans do not cause CO2, nature does that.

* Climate change is not caused by humans.

* Climate change is not bad.

* If it is bad, there is nothing we can do.

* It's only bad for other people.

* It will only hit us hard in the far future.

* We cannot make compromises in our lifestyle or risk our economy.

* We have invested much too much in fossil fuel technology to give it up.

* Renewable energy is not feasible. It's a joke. Don't even think about it.

* Solar cells cost more energy than they produce.

* Batteries produce lots of CO2 during production.

* Windmills will never harvest the energy that was needed to produce them.

* Our electric grid will fail if we add too much renewable energy.

* We cannot store enough electric energy.

* Renewables can never work because they cannot produce energy on demand.

* Even if renewables were feasible they would be too expensive.

* Why don't we just build more nuclear plants?

* Thorium will save us in time, so no hurry.

* Fusion is only 30 years away, so why invest in renewables?

... this is only what came into my mind spontaneously and some points are really hard to argue, especially with non-technical people who do not see scientific facts as something solid but something that can be negotiated.
>>It's a crude way to put it, but the reality is that you can build bad websites in any framework

The point of (well-designed) frameworks is that they act as “rails” and make it difficult to make bad decisions.

They also make it easier for people on a team (or people who maintain the project after you leave) reason about your code.

Therefore, as far as I’m concerned, not using frameworks is a huge red flag.

US list for work-life balance
This is probably a popular opinion on HN, but I actually agree. I’ve made things with PHP back when PHP was cool, and then when it wasn’t. I’ve build things with ASP classic, I’ve made my own ASP extensions, then moved to webforms then to mvc and now to core. I’ve made things with JSP and still have nightmares about beans. On top of all that I’ve used the JavaScript necessary to make it actual functional.

It’s true that you can create a MVVM app feeling with a MVC framework and a little Ajax, but really, I’ve never been more productive than I have with react.

I don’t think it’s really that much more complicated, but I do think 99% of the learning resources are outright terrible, and that was certainly a hurdle I had to overcome. Which is hard, because learning new things while you have a full time job is already hard.

I'm always amaze at how many computer screens/keyboards are visible from windows. It would be so easy to plant a webcam with some good optics on an opposite building and just get the passwords of the victim quite easily. you could have easily a few dozens of victims on a single company with a single camera.
For what it's worth, I can confirm that a lot of backend developers look down to frontend developers, but if you dig a little deeper you often (not always) see that frontend development is simply intimidating to them and they rather stick to what they know. At least in my country/region this leads to a lack of good frontend developers; good developers being those that apply well-known and established (backend) practices to the frontend.

Yea, I agree the coloring they present in what I linked is quite... ugly. But what I was trying to get at is that it does seem that, at that point, the Greeks could distinguish between the color of wine and the color blue. And that therefore Homer's "wine-dark" is in reference to something other than color.

(I had seen that video before, it's very enlightening.)
That doesn't imply that things like Boyer-Moore suddenly stop being effective. Without more details (which regex engine? what regex? what corpus? which programming language?) it's impossible to state the cause, but it could be as simple as the regex engine not being smart enough to use a literal searcher in that case.

We should stop and consider that Hyundai engineers know the energy math behind this design, and they know it's ridiculous, but management chose to pursue this line regardless. This says a lot about their perceived market.

Most people say they are, but when you actually measure it you find engagement metrics are better for SPA sites, especially for ecommerce and social. Quite simply people spend more money if they can click fewer times. And thus we have things like infinite scrolling and ajax.

There is no position from the perspective of beings that don't exist, let alone a neutral one. It's always the beings that exist that make decisions, and it's always their perspective that counts.

Really, it doesn't matter if an animal that doesn't exist would 'prefer' to exist in suffering, because that's a purely counter-factual fantasy to begin with. All that matters is whether we should prefer such an animal to exist. Anyone who prefers they wouldn't based on vague moral arguments has to reconcile that with the fact that killing those animals for food is right in line with correcting the 'error' of their birth.

A better way to make the argument is to appeal to things we do actually care about in an ethically consistent manner: how inefficient and wasteful it is to raise animals for food. If you have something that is more efficient, tastes better, and is healthier, then it becomes harder to justify that waste, regardless of anyone's moral position on suffering. Anything else is just an reasonless appeal to emotion.

> MoviePass proved the demand.

Well yea, they lowered the price of the supply - OF COURSE there's more demand.

But they lowered the price of the supply at cost to themselves. I believe the idea was that once they had enough market share they're be able to negotiate ticket prices and actually turn a profit.

But yeah, there's a demand for unlimited movies @10$/mo when single movie tickets cost 12$+ :P

I don't doubt that this is true. I guess the complete ridiculousness of it astounds me. Maybe that's why my initial reaction was to say "why should Amazon spin it off to satisfy external interests?"

It seems totally unreasonable for someone like Walmart to make that demand. At the same time I don't doubt they have that power.

It's like...if I worked for Sylvania, and I was told not to fly on the Boeing 777 because GE, the lightbulb competitor, made its engine.

Not only expensive, but I recently wanted to get a sperm quality test done and the labs I called flat out refused to do it without a referral. Even though I was willing to pay cash and forgo all of the insurance nonsense. It is apparently impossible to just get a test done because you want to unless you pay a doctor to refer you.
> they are not considered “real” developers by the rest of the community

Well, a lot of them aren’t - until recently, a lot of front-end developers were actually graphic artists who were more skilled in photoshop than software development (not to knock that skill, it’s a useful one!). It doesn’t help that 23-year-old MBA “unicorn startup” founders have bought into this pipe dream model of software development where a couple of eggheads in the unlit server room develop algorithms that the $10/hour mcweb-developers cut-and-paste into beautiful templates.
The streets are usually empty aside from the homeless encampments.

Objectively false. The homeless camps are in Skidrow and near City Hall.

It's a cultural and recreational wasteland compared to the rest of the city.

There are nearly a dozen museums in DTLA including 2 world-famous art museums, an opera, 4 operational Broadway-style theaters that are still regularly in use, around a dozen smaller performance theaters, more than 200 restaurants including one of the world's busiest/most profitable restaurants, 3 bowling alleys, 3 karaoke bars, more than a dozen nightclubs, 3 arcades, 3 higher-ed schools (not including USC, which is technically outside of downtown in its own neighborhood), more than a dozen parks, around a dozen breweries, 2 large movie theaters (including one used to premier a number of Hollywood movies), events every weekend in the summer. Oh, and the food-cart phenomenon got its start in DTLA at the corner of 9th and Hope, where some of today's most famous restaurateurs got their start slinging fusion tacos to FIDM students.

If anything, there's too much stuff jammed into DTLA compared to the rest of the city.
Echoing some of the other comments on this story, we've reached a point where the marginal return on value for upgrading your phone is very low at the moment. From a design perspective, the thin bezelless/buttonless slate makes it difficult to differentiate your product. The apps you use will be the same and will more or less run the same, since mobile applications are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU. Any improvements in camera quality are almost imperceptible. Same with screen/display quality. What is the incentive to upgrade?

It is possible that the "smartphone" form factor has become a commodity and the market is overly saturated with products. I think we won't see another consumer electronics explosion until other form factors start to become more ubiquitous (smartwatch, smart AR/VR HMDs, actually smart TVs, smart speakers, smart automobile infotainment, etc.). Specifically, I think smart HMDs are going to be the future once chipset and battery technology are advanced enough to make them sexy.

I don't really care to comment on the topic at hand, because the answer was excellent and needs nothing further from me.

I could very much see how he might not be for you, but he has really struck a chord with me, mainly by pointing out my own wrong thinking and not "how do I deal with assholes in my life?" (turns out, I'm the asshole). Bookmarked for binge reading later.
