That’s where all the profit margins are in publicly traded companies due to low marginal costs, infinite scalability, low liability, and huge barriers to entry.

Even if it crashes, since so many voters are invested in it, they’ll just get a bail out at the cost of reducing value of USD. Which isn’t a problem as long as the US stays relatively powerful in the world.
They really did look better, it's just that the vast majority of people didn't think so.

Sounds like someone who worked at all the wrong things to "improve" because they don't listen to feedback.
they say that they managed to add 0.1 million people at once. If you're after a group of people and getting only one of them is enough, the limits look pretty feasible to me, even more possible especially in small communities.
They no longer kill the fish to extract the caviar. They can now drain the caviar through a form of cesarean, basically, and release the fish back.

They charge money for it...

Note that I'm not saying all of the test suite should be open source. It's clearly a valid/cool business model and SQLite is, for a lot of use cases, an excellent piece of software that I have often used myself. The criticism was honestly more directed towards the cherry-picking of facts that sometimes happens in discussions on hacker news, especially those related to SQLite.
Cognitive Bias for Consultants – Helping Clients with Loss Aversion
I would consider the ability to reject a job offer from a reputable company at age 18 over the tone of someone's voice to be more of a marker of entitlement than anything else.
Get a card from a decent & modern bank so no need to deal with similar bullshit ever. I heard Monzo is planning to launch in the US.

Its existence relies on formal documentation such as a deed declaring its existence as a city.
Proving it doesn't exist would rely on proving the absolute absence of the documentation, and absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. This is a logical proof of non-existence fallacy.

But surely the German city officials would not make a mockery of such things by frivolously asking for something they know would be logically impossible. So thereby the only conclusion that we can draw is that the proof of non-existence does both exist and yet by logic can not exist.

This would have been a curious case of a macro superposition had it not been for contest communication from Bielefeld insiders leading to an observation of the phenomenon collapsing said superposition were it not that with the collapse a new instance of the superposition is created without delay out of the logical fallacy and the now created instance of the past communication which makes this an even more curious case as we are now facing an endless series of both collapsing and superimposing states of Bielefeld's existence.

We thereby incontrovertible proved that the only possible state is that Bielefeld does in fact perpetually both exist and does not exist fulfilling and exceeding the requirements for claiming the offered cash price.

We realize that this proof could be refuted if the city officials were able to proof the absence of the offer's communication as in that case the superposition of Bielefeld's existence could remain intact and unobserved, in which case I will gladly refund them their $1.1M minus expenses.
In portuguese those would be: compota, geleia, conservas (preserved in sugar syrup) and marmelada. I think compote and jam are the same thing.

Don't see why it would. Maybe I am reading too much into that one sentence, I don't know. The whole "talented... for a reasonable price" bit stuck with me though. If all of the talented people want a certain rate, then guess what? That's the market rate.
To be honest, it's much more a ban than anything else.
Sometimes we spent too much time in our own ecosystem. In 2019 most sites globally still use php and jquery.

Web 2.0 refers to the use of ajax. This refers to the early 2000s sajax, jquery..

If you want to separate angular, react, vue maybe it's web 3.0.. but wasn't web 3.0 referred to as mobile?
Are you really implying Google Sheets has killed Excel?
> ICU, the linux kernel, etc.

It seems unlikely that either of these are more widely deployed than SQLite, especially the Linux kernel.

Probably the vast majority of deployments of the Linux kernel include SQLite. Add in all the non-Linux devices (e.g. the billions of iOS and Windows devices) and that's probably far more than the number of Linux installations without SQLite.

I don't know much about ICU, and perhaps you're right that it's one of the most used bits of software. But I can certainly imagine embedded devices that never communicate with users and wouldn't need ICU but do need to store data.
All due respect, but you are deeply deluded.
I didn't mean to get into the Nazis too much, just pointing to them as an extreme example. Certainly, they did research that wasn't unethical (think climate research, material science, architecture etc), but it was still done by Nazis.

The OP talked about Minsky, and I assume nobody thinks that whatever he did in connection to Epstein has anything to do with his scientific work.

I think there's a somewhat good argument to sever ties with a scientist that behaves unethically outside of science (but then again: do you -hypothetically- disregard a cure for cancer because the researcher is racist?), but to reject the results afterwards? Should we throw out everything that Tim Hunt ever worked on (and everything that cites/is based on his work) because some people perceived remarks he made to be sexist?
I can't help but think of the movie How High.
The unknown attacker made a subtle change to a Webmin script called password_change.cgi. The change gave attackers the ability to send a command through a special URL that an infected Webmin server would then execute with root privileges. In version 1.890, which had more than 421,000 downloads between June, 2018 and last weekend, the backdoor was turned on by default. ... Backdoored versions were distributed on SourceForge, which is the primary distribution source the Webmin website points to.

Those strawberries were your aunt before she was born. Did you know strawberries and other foods go into producing humans? And when we die we, if given a natural death, we can go into producing foods again? It's always been that way. If you want to make the argument that @spinach's view is poisoned by futurism, you ought to take a look at yours which I'd argue is poisoned by modernity. You are the earth, you are of this earth and you'll go back into this earth eventually unless you opt for some expensive astro-death where you'll eventually land into some other material planet into that dirt. And shared memories are immaterial, detached from that person once they die. That's the beauty of those memories, that's what makes them special, the fleeting moments in the nows and thens knowing none of this will last forever. I get that it may make you nauseous as it does me to some extent but OP's view is far from "fucked up".
Any features in this library you'd like to see standard library's sqlite3 [1]? Maybe a PEP [2, python enhancement proposal] could do it.

This is a weird critique.

Even in Phoenix, the need for air conditioning can be reduced by designing houses well. As the article notes:

> Even in exposed, hot and arid climates, cooler temperatures are never too far away. In Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan state in northern India, daytime temperatures regularly reach upwards of 40C in the summer months. But just a few metres below ground, the temperature of the earth in the region remains a much gentler 25C, even through the fiercest summer heat.
The ALH version of the Jetta TDI is a pretty good example. I personally owned two ICE vehicles that lasted well over 15 years and 250,000 miles. I have a 2017 Civic with 44,000 miles now. I average over 40 mpg even just driving around town. When we travel extended distances I can some times hit 45 mpg if traffic cooperates. The math behind the ICE vs electric isn't familiar to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're closer to right than most people want to admit. I do fully believe the math will slide greatly into the electric vehicle's favor eventually.
I think you miss the scale of strong storms. Updrafts and their corresponding downdrafts can commonly reach 40,000 feet with severe storms far higher than that. Many storms, especially in the central US can exceed 65MPH in forward ground motion.
Performance was always going to be better is it more you're surprised it is that much better?

The point of the video is that products don't fail for lack of developers
Part of the SQLite test cases are open source (the logic tests), but indeed unfortunately the biggest part are not. You can purchase a license for these tests though, so saying nobody has seen them is likely incorrect.

Either way, the fact that it is DO-178B certified for use on aircraft should tell you something about the reliability of it. It is certainly more reliable than most other software, OSS or otherwise.

I am curious what practical problems you encountered with SQLite. Could you perhaps expand on that?
Or relative to time (litres or kilograms per hour).
This. There are also several optimized versions of python, other that stock, allowing you to increase performance based on your needs. I've shipped with many of them over the years.
They edited the article after I left a comment there. The original text stated they spent $500k to run all the hyperparameter search experiments to replicate OpenAI results. Only after they did all that work you can run their code for $50k.
This is extremely useful! If the product is solid, this would easily replace 4 subscriptions that we already have. Good luck with the release. How do you plan to price this?
Using someone else's card is a pretty stupid crime, most of the time it won't even work if you try to do so from another country. A less stupid crime is using some else's identity. A scammer is probably more inclined to use your information to open other accounts. They don't want your money, they want your credit.

Talk to your bank about freezing your credit (the credit agencies do this but a bank should help) and they will probably tell you to wait until there is fraudulent activity. With the inadequacy of digital privacy, nearly everyone's identity has been compromised and we will all have it stolen at some point, just know what to do when that day comes.
China’s assault on Cathay Pacific
> Actually it erodes the court's decision-making ability as all the court can do is judge whether the request meets the legal standard, not whether there is any merit to it.

Hong Kong has extradition treaty with 20 other jurisdiction did it erode its judicial independence?

> Patronising

It isn't patronising I have yet to see a manifesto with legal details why extradition treaty is ok with 20 other jurisdiction not with Taiwan and China. Below is a brief on it.

"Upon receiving a request for extradition, Hong Kong’s Department of Justice first determines whether several conditions are met, including: the crime is one of the 37 listed categories and punishable by seven years or more in prison; the offence in question is a crime in both Hong Kong and the requesting jurisdiction; the offence in question is not of a political character, and the offence is not punishable by death.

If the justice department determines that the conditions are met, then it goes before Hong Kong’s chief executive, who can decide whether to veto or proceed with the extradition request. At this point, the suspect can apply for judicial review, with a right to appeal in the city’s highest court. If the request proceeds, an arrest warrant is issued, after which the subject is immediately barred from leaving Hong Kong. Once the subject is arrested, the case moves to the courts, where a preliminary hearing is held. Once the court decides that there is no political motive behind the extradition request, and that there is sufficient prima facie evidence that there is a possible case, it can then make an order of committal. At this point, the suspect can appeal.

With the judicial process over, the request goes back to the chief executive, who can again decide to deny the extradition request on humanitarian grounds. Here, the subject can petition the chief executive to oppose extradition. Should the chief executive decide to proceed with the extradition, an extradition order is given. At this stage, the suspect can again appeal to the courts to stop the extradition. If the suspect decides not to appeal, or if the appeal is unsuccessful, the suspect is extradited. The process could take years, which is typical of extradition proceedings."
I've been a fan of David Koch since he and Ed Clark were the Libertarian Party's presidential ticket in 1980. That was my first time voting. To me he was an American hero. That position has not gotten much more popular in the intervening 40 years. But there are a few of us out here that will celebrate the life of this great patriot today.

I think the argument here though is sit in the car with the vehicle's emissions from non-existent to end of life.

I do agree that point-source emissions of the electricity being generated is a big advantage. Nothing sucks more than being exposed to vehicle emissions in traffic/city/etc.
Just to add to the cultural variety, in Romania, the eastern end of latin influence, "marmeladă" is one of 3 common kinds of fruit preserves - made by boiling fruits with no or relatively little sugar (maybe 1:10 sugar to fruit) until they harden into a paste. Apricot and plums are the most commonly used fruit for marmelade.

The 2 preserve is "gem" (jam), which is similar, but made with some more sugar (say 4:10 upto 5:10), and ending up as more of a mush than a paste - coincidentally, this is the most common way of preserving quinces.

The third one is "dulceață" (which translates ad literam to "sweetness") which is made with 1:1 sugar to fruit and ends up with whole fruit floating in a fruity sweet colored syrup (sometimes the fruit are dipped in calcium hydroxide before boiling to ensure they stay firm) - usually for strawberries, forest fruit, apricots, even peaches.

We also make a quince jelly called "peltea" (a Turkish word), a clear, stiff, extremely sweet gelatin. This seems to be the exact equivalent of Portuguese marmelada.
With the exception of actual XHR requests (which should ideally be for dynamic resources, and as such somewhat outside the remit of saving a webpage), I was referring specifically to JS loading JS, etc. solutions. React, Angular do not recommend/advise you to do this. This isn't a requirement in Web 2.0 or Web 5.0 or anything else.

In terms of React at least, fetch requests are not a part of the framework in any way and any present would typically be done in custom code in lifecycle methods. Even Redux, is—by default—client-side only. Stores are in-memory, actions populating them would make fetch requests with React/Redux-independent logic.

Other JS frameworks are, typically, the same. And all of that is just considering dynamic XHR. Loading scripts is much less typical, and never required. The most common application of this I've seen is the GA snippet, which mainly does it to ensure the load is async without relying on developer implementation: it's 100% unnecessary to do it this way.

So yes, unless you're distributing a tracking snippet that you expect non-devs to be blindly pasting into their wordpress panels and still have it work efficiently, generally speaking use of this method is never necessary, and commonly a red flag for poor architecture.

To add to your examples, in portuguese (and no other language I know of) the word "exquisit" (in portuguese: esquesito) means something odd, awkward. In all other languages it means a delicacy or something really delicious. I'm sure we were the ones to corrupt the meaning, perhaps for the common folk those delicacies were so rare or unattainable that they would be "odd" food.
Ask HN: Has becoming more of a computer scientist made you a better engineer?
Rather than technical details, I'm more curious about in what ways each application is better than what is currently on the market.

At the bottom of the page, it is mentioned that Burnout replaces Asana, Trello, Jira, Google Docs and more. In what ways is Burnout better than Jira? What does Burnout offer more than Google Docs? Asana and Trello tackle task management differently in its own way, and how does Burnout differ from both of these?

Also, if you add an e-mail feature, this would be the perfect example of Zawinski's Law (“Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail...”).

To be honest, I am still wondering if this is a satire page because of such overstuffing of features and there is a lack of details about the product.
I'm also thinking here of Telltale games. The original Telltale wasn't ever going to take over the world. But they had figured out a niche where some people (largely, admittedly, a nostalgia crowd) liked what they were doing enough to send a little beer money their way every time they put out a new episode. It was sustainable.

And then at some point they had a moderate mainstream success, and that got them thinking that maybe they could grow into a much bigger game company, and so they started pushing hard at trying to grow. That was the point where me and a lot of other fairly loyal Telltale fans stopped buying their games. The effort they put into other things meant that they were no longer putting as much care into the things that earned them their original fan base. And, at the same time, they found out that breaking into the mainstream market is a lot harder than it looks.

And now there's no more Telltale Games.
Well yes, but not really much different from memorising openings from a book. Personally I find all kinds of professional sports and competition a bit boring, it was more fun when people were amateurs.

> But just a few metres below ground, the temperature of the earth in the region remains a much gentler 25C, even through the fiercest summer heat.

That can be a risky bit depending how it's used specifically e.g. london's underground was pretty much freezing when it first opened but the clays have a hard time shedding heat so these days the walls warm up the undeground.

I wouldn’t have minded if he had been a backer of republicanism, what I can’t accept is his steadfast support for neoconservatism and their fetish for reshaping the world. He thus brought about GWB and all its consequences and its continuation through a nicer lens in the Obama admin.

Amazon fires being called 'serious threat' but misinformation going viral
I don't understand the critic about subjective criteria, people commenting here seem to assume that the list is supposed to be an objective and complete comparison of GUIs. The author evaluated the solutions for their own needs, of course it will be subjective. If they find something too ugly for the UX they want to have, that's a perfectly valid reason to filter something out.

Replying to self as I can no longer edit:

Tesla released an update in 2017 giving users the ability to disable keyless entry. That paired with OTA I wonder if it would be wise of them to push an advisory to all cars with keyless entry still enabled advising the customer of the risk of keyless entry and asking the customer if they would like to disable it? If you have made it explicitly clear that keyless gives a convenience bump at the sacrifice of security but the customer still decides to leave keyless enabled that is a choice the customer willingly made.

Just thinking outloud.
