I completely agree, although I like moderation here since it is actually very accepting and I might just have another definition for it than the author of the article.

Another example where moderation works well is stackexchange. I think a Q&A sites needs strict moderation to be able to stay on topic.

I think what Google is doing right now is reprehensible for example. Ghosting content because it is controversial and therefore coincidentally bad for advertising leaves a very bad taste.
Yeah I know the attack model, it was just amusing they took the cars that were worth less (at market value) over the newer car that was less cool but worth more.

We put our car keys in a metal tin near the door now which stops all this anyway.

Easy to say with hindsight now that it is massively popular and has a huge ecosystem of parsers for every conceivable language. At the time it was invented though, it was yet another data exchange format and I'm sure there were a lot of grey beards pooh-poohing it.

start stop for the engine when not needed is a welcome innovation though some brands handled it poorly when introduced. It does save fuel and when done well is seamless. I had this on a manual 2012 Z4 and loved it.

the wi-fi hot spot craze that manufacturers bought into never made much sense to me except as a revenue source for the same. I do know that GM though OnStar sells such services and they are seriously over priced, Onstar is near theft level just for monitoring services which is separate from data service!

As for keys, I love that my phone works as my key for my Tesla Model 3. For added security I can simply have PIN to drive setup in the car. Now some will say you lose security as all they need is your phone, well that is no different than just having your key too. I would be curious if the BT connection on the TM3 can be opened via signal boosting between phone and car. I do believe the optional key fob can be.

Now myself, though I had and tried it, I am not a fan of letting my phone take over the car UI no matter how dreadful a UI can be. I used it on my second generation Volt but in the end it really didn't not make much sense. First off, like I have found in my TM3 I really don't use much of the display or buttons while driving so any added features are moot. I did like that it would tell me my text messages, but some cars do that as well and let you voice transcribe replies.

The advantage for cars other than Tesla is that in those cars maps are never updated or only for money and infrequently. Let alone all other features.
Thieves don't want your car, they just want a car. If your car is too hard to steal they'll just take your neighbors instead.

That’s a valid question for the other victim, but I’m pretty sure cars are still occasionally stolen without the keys nearby by defeating the immobilizer.
This might be news to people not familiar with high tech job salaries, likely the Dice audience. So as general news it’s quite valid. On HN I doubt anyone is surprised by this.
I can't help but think that the extra wear and tear from start/stop cycles will end up exceeding the value of the fuel saved.

> I have a stopwatch function in my HP48 that I don't want using a local variable (avoid polluting my precious menu), or having to keep it in a stack.

The first thing that comes to mind is that there's a hidden directory at the root that the ROM itself uses to store stuff like this. This link talks a bit about how to get there:

https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-12986.html

This uses SYSEVAL to call into a normally-not-visible object that puts the name of the directory on the stack. From there, you should be able to read/write the variable.

You may also be able to do some hacky stuff with self-modifying code, but that's honestly something I'd avoid unless you want to try it for fun.

Why I Made Fairytrail - A Remote Dating App
I've only used it briefly, but I have also seen it used in DIY building management projects. The biggest issue I saw with it was power consumption: up to 150mA @5V is 0.75W, and I think it can take a bit of time to 'warm up' so you can't just turn it on for a few milliseconds every hour. But that should be fine if it's plugged into the wall.

It's also fairly expensive, on the order of $10 rather than $1 last I checked.

Yes and no. The price many cybersecurity pros want, is to be able to live in a place of their choosing and work remotely. Many will even take lower salaries than the market would dictate where the company is located to do so. While this is slowly improving, a majority of companies are still not willing to accommodate this in my experience.
I don't understand how Arena can be a platform for competitive constructed Magic when you can't guarantee what cards you have access to. In the old client and in paper Magic, if you needed a card, you could get it directly from someone. That's not the case in Arena. You have to hope to open it (or a wildcard of the right rarity) from a pack. This limits competitive play to mostly people who have the time and luck to collect every card they need.

Paying more for lower performance and higher TDP isn't a "chance".

Very conservative corporate customers could wait a short time for good BIOS corrections and sufficient supply for all the parts (not only CPUs) they need before shopping for AMD servers, but they would be buying different hardware from the same established suppliers even if they went with Intel.
It's unusual in the context of Britain, I’d say, usually there's quite a well defined pay scale, with grades of worker, skilled worker, management, senior management, etc. It's all very class based. The exception is for self-employed contractors, which can be higher. But in general the notion of non-management salaried workers getting paid £300k upwards would be very surprising for a lot of people.
I don’t know much about football but it seems to me that if this is true, then the metrics being tracked on paper are simply subpar. Probably all sports are an equation. Moneyball beinf the obvious example of this. If certain teams consistently win, then it’s not just an equation, but one with a theoretically relatively low variance model.

Portuguese are following a path of decriminalisation, which in a legal sense if a long shot away from the legalisation that the state of Luxembourg has just announced...

Production and sale are still criminalised in Portugal, and possession is still considered illegal, but with no penalties to first time offenders and considered a health issue for repeated offenders.

The major difference - Decriminalisation complies with their international obligations as per signed international treaties, Legalisation does not.

State of Luxembourg thinks they will get away with that, and I would bet this has been thoroughly vetted with their international partners.

> I’d be interested in hearing about the problems Make has caused you

The main problem that kept burning me was that I'd have a "dirty" build when I thought I had a clean one or an incorrect one when I thought I had a correct one. It was super hard to get the dependency graph correct because developers were creating files left and right but would only update the Makefile just enough to get it building (and forget to add new header files to the list of headers, etc) so I had little confidence in incremental builds and was always building from the ground up.

CMake's generated build systems always have correct dependency graphs (i.e. it will only rebuild the bare minimum when you touch a given file) and I've always had complete confidence that my build is clean (since I just created a fresh directory) and that my incremental builds are correct.

We absolutely have a canon. You show me someone who has studied Dikjstra, Turing, Hoare, who has taken the time to pour over the Art of Computer Programming and Structures and Interpretations of Computer Programs, and poured over Ivan Sutherland, is familiar with the early days of IBM, Fairchild, Xerox PARC, and hundreds of other classics we consider to be "canon" that I am surely missing (just shooting from the hip here), and you'' be showing me, more likely than not, a damn good programmer. We have a canon, we just don't have the same studios, detail-oriented attention spans we once had, and the technology we have built is partly to blame.

Maybe related, you were once considered an ignorant brut in this country and others if you haven't read a library of literary classics, now we have kids growing up who barely know Shakespeare, or the rich body of the writing of the abolitionists or slave narratives (how many people you think in this country that even know 1/100th of what Henry Louis Gates Jr knows?)

Steps to Successfully Manage Your Goals with OKRs
Ads. It's hard to make money in online news, so lots of sites feel the need to plaster ads all over the page. Every ad is going to bring along its own trackers to gather information on users but also to make sure the site is meeting guaranteed minimums for viewability.

Analytics. At a minimum, there's going to be Google Analytics but there might be some in-house tracking tool or some kind of audience statistics package too.

Paywalls need to make sure you haven't met the limit.

A/B tests on headlines, content, and even styling mean remembering which test group you fall into.
Articles like these make me wonder where these people find the qualified CTO replacements.

The echo chamber effect on HN is far worse than any comparable site, it's just not as obvious because there's zero transparency.

At least there are tons of 3rd party sites that allow us to see censorship in real time on Reddit. No such thing exists for HN.

Unfortunately Mark Rosewater(lead designer for MTG) has said that the booster pack model is basically what provides enough money that the business side is comfortable with providing the size of the budget the design side receives.

Sports isn't an equation

Tell that to Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland A's, who used statistical analysis and team interaction models (i.e. "equations") to turn propel the team into the top ranks with salary expenses of only 1/3th of the other top teams. The story was described in the book Moneyball and dramatized in the film of the same name.
HN culture or SV culture? I suspect it may be far more a reflection of a) which continents are awake/asleep and b) the increasingly international nature of HN compared to early years.

In its earliest years HN felt to me to be a decidedly American place, steeped in the politics, culture and views you might expect of its origins. Now, there's far more Europeans, Asians - and increasingly Chinese as HN apparently isn't firewalled. The attitudes to many things have moved to being more international, whether that's in terms of politics, healthcare and regulation, or simple corrections to the trivial but often fascinating things that are just done or viewed differently around the world.

Sometimes the split shows up quite clearly with votes going one way when it's mostly the US awake, and quite another once Europe and Asia has had a chance. Early GDPR discussions were probably the clearest follower of this pattern. :)

If a restaurant already has a contract with GrubHub and somewhere buried in the contract it gives GrubHub permission to do this... then it's still shady, but owners should also be reading their contracts closely -- and for owners who don't have a website at all, it could even be beneficial.

BUT... if GrubHub has done this (which they reportedly have, although they seem to be denying it) for businesses they haven't signed a contract with... then is that not highly illegal? There have to be laws against false representation in business, no? Whether cut-and-dried trademark infringement, or otherwise?

If that's the case, I hope they get a serious class-action suit against them with massive punitive damages. It's deeply unethical and anticompetitive, and basically smells of extortion.
The legendary Delta blues musician Son House is usually regarded to have been born in 1902, but comments he made about his own age would imply that he was born around 1886.

It has been suggested that he lied about his age when he moved up north in order to avoid being discriminated against when applying for jobs. Or he may have been born in 1902 and simply lying about, or genuinely mistaken about, his age.
