That's the whole point of Waze: if you weren't trying to frantically get somewhere as fast as possible, no matter the cost (I mean, this app is even trying to warn you about police cars so you can get a lower risk for constantly speeding...) you would download a more mainstream app.
> But if their algorithms took the road's capacity into account, everyone would benefit

The people getting extra non-resident traffic on residential streets don't benefit.

But let's ignore them and look only at current drivers. It's quite possible for routing even one car through shortcut neighborhoods to be a net negative, because they have to spend time leaving and merging back with the main traffic flow.
I am not trying to change the behaviour of the Guardian, merely pointing at its virtu signalling.
Letting kids help with cooking works very well. Food that you prepared yourself always tastes better than when someone else did it. Kids get exposed to learning a useful skill, and they eat better. The only downside is that parents have to adapt their usual cooking routine.
I would say so. You can’t even launch a vanilla Linux instance on AWS and connect directly to its desktop, at least without going through lots of hoops.

I blame the KDE vs Gnome fragmentation, and over-customisation.
so keyboard binding vs spendings weeks trying to get drivers to work on your machine properly ?
Are you sure you’re using microservices?
The tragic thing is that there's this idea you have to live life as an austere pioneer hippie to address this. You really don't.

A world of mostly-vegetarian people living in modern, timber (for carbon sequestration) flats in mixed-use environments, using renewable electricity to power their heat pumps and AC, traveling primarily via bike, walking, and public transport, and owning less disposable crap would go a long, long way.

You could hire an EV for a weekend excursion or take a slow, internet-connected ship to travel for an overseas holiday.

I don't think living that way sounds especially terrible, to be honest.

Also, make 3 months' vacation the minimum. Turn off Slack at 5 PM. We have so much material crap it's hard to fathom, but many people are horribly starved of time. If I had more time I know I'd cook more and work in the garden more instead of ordering takeaway.

A huge amount of human endeavour is spent helping a relatively few rich people suck a bit more of the Earth before it implodes.
It's the potatoes that are saving them. Potatoes have basically everything you need to be healthy, in the proportions you need them. Carbs, protein, vitamins - you name it.

There are people who have lived for years on nothing but potatoes without seasoning. Their health is outstanding. I'm on mobile but you can google it easily - potato diet.
Maybe the desktop hasn’t moved because it’s at its peak? My kitchen knife hasn’t seen much innovation either, works well though.

more like a function of driving in a place that physically can't accommodate the sheer number of cars. the city could be very livable if public transport was the better option than a private car.
Humans have a history of occasionally choosing bad fitness functions that predates computers, for example look at the awful things we've done to persian cats or chihuahua dogs.
The problem with a post like this is that it tries to guilt the individual and their consumerism - but individuals cannot have enough of an impact. It's up to our chosen representatives to e.g. ban the import of soy and beef from Brazil. The net effect to the individual will be that beef is either more expensive or simply no longer available - and that's fine, there's plenty of local and renewable alternatives.

No, focusing on and guilting the individual is, pardon my conspiracy theory language, what They want. They want you to buy more expensive organic produce, They want you to buy a new lower-emissions car at a premium price, and most importantly, They want to blame you for what They are doing - They don't care about the amazon in particular, They care about profits, and if you're too distracted with changing your own lifestyle, They can push forward with their own policies to make more money.

If a whole country stops e.g. consuming soy from Brazil, there's going to be ten others that will buy it anyway because profits or deals will almost always beat morals.

And even if a country bans importing soy from Brazil, there's plenty of produce laundering going on - China will move their products to e.g. Malaysia and rebrand it as "made in Malaysia" to avoid trade tariffs or quotas.

And it doesn't stop there. A country can claim to recycle plastic in a renewable fashion for example, but what they aren't aware of - or turn a blind eye to - is that the recycling company they trust just bales up the plastics and ships it off to Asia, where they just burn it or chuck it in landfills. As soon as it crosses the border, it's no longer their problem. (Trash exports should be banned worldwide)
I read old HN comments quite regularly. When I need insight about some topic, my first search is always through HN comments.
> The main difference between Waze and Google Maps is that Waze uses real time traffic data.

Do you mean that Waze uses real time data provided by 3rd parties? Because I have always had the understanding that Gmaps uses location and telemetry data from (the Google maps) mobile apps to determine traffic conditions in near real time.
The point I am making, which is clear if you read previous comments I was answering to, is that travelling for a whole day in a train is not in any way an equivalent, productivity-wise, to travelling 3 hours by plane and then working the rest of the day in an office or a home.

There might be other reasons to take trains over airplanes, but "so I can comfortably work on it" is a very questionable one.
Well, you can chalk the first 737 MAX crash up to greed, hubris, bad design decisions and a generally rotten culture in a once great, engineering driven company.

Not grounding the plane after that, despite the fact that Boeing must have had the knowledge of what have gone on is corporate mass murder for profit.

you take the point of view that nothing is good enough because it could have been better?

Yes, it would definitely had been better if 346 people wouldn't have been killed by a greedy corporate behemoth, which very obviously cares much more about profits than about the people they killed. This point is pretty obvious when you listen to their mealy mouthed pr bullshit.

I trust this answers your question.
Good point. I can only say that where I come from they are seen as something distinct, perhaps a category of food entirely their own.
> Memories are essential to the sense of identity that emerges from the narrative of personal experience.

That, for me, is one of the main ethical issues. No matter in which society you live, a very large part of its identity is derived from memory and/or common history. If you can manipulate that, you can manipulate society. And we already have so many subconscious levers pushing our perception of self (social media for one), we shouldn't have another one.
This might be defeating the point. I guess the reason here is not just to have nutrients but also to give them good habits for their adult life. Otherwise you could just give them soylent or something and be done with it.

The idea is probably that one would have to pay for commercial usage, which absolutely is compatible with open source.
Remind me of Robin Hanson's Age of Em. Ems are human minds copied into computers and executable there. Being easy to copy, you can spin up as many Elon Musks as you need.

Keep in mind that Apple's iCloud services in China are not actually provided by Apple. They are provided by Cloud Big Data Industrial Development Co., Ltd., and allows Apple to, "continue to improve iCloud services in China mainland and comply with Chinese regulations". [0]

This service even has different terms of service, than the standard iCloud offering (though I haven't done a diff to see what's changed).

The effect of this is that the encryption keys for the service for Chinese users, are in the hands of a state-owned company (not Apple).

I'm a big support of Apple's approach and ethics with respect to privacy generally, however if you're in China, or a citizen of China, then it's probably safe to assume that anything on or passing through iCloud, is fully accessible to the state, without requiring Apple's involvement (e.g. via subpoena).

Create a "beginner" tag and then let people annoyed by beginner questions filter them out. Or allow people to filter out questions from askers with less than N reputation.

These solutions probably have their own flaws, but if there was an appetite to be more beginner friendly geberally you could probably road test them a bit more.
I would measure socialism not by the number of people who call themselves socialists. Europe is farther to the left on the spectrum, so today’s moderate are yesterday’s core socialists. Look at the tax burden, state role and involvement in business and personal lives.

It's a British cultural thing. People who aren't physically or mentally disabled go on benefits, as if having applied for welfare (despite being capable of work) is reason to reserve sympathy. Children drink Fanta for breakfast. The bus reeks of marijuana at 7AM. If a referendum doesn't go your way you complain until it's overturned. There's simply a lot of people with a lot of entitlement and no motivation.

Responding to the downmods: I don't mean to imply that everyone in the UK acts this way. However if you've spent time here, particularly if you're from overseas where these things are not common, the experiences above should be familiar.

This kind of work requires a supply of power though, which is something of a catch 22 if the battery you are rejuvenating is your power source.

Personally, 2019 was finally the year of the Linux Desktop for me. Proton from Valve has totally changed everything for me. It runs AAA titles such as The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto V and even Final Fantasy XIV (with a little tweaking) out of the box at 60 FPS! That was my final holdout and it freed me up to just run Manjaro outright :)

Sometimes it just needs carefully sussing out the secret ingredient.

My wife has been trying to make green curry for years, but it was never as good as the Thai stuff. Then she followed the advice of a professional chef to not replace the kaffir limes by just any limes and actually try to obtain kaffir limes (which are bitter and not useful except for their peel). Boom! Her green curry is now as good as any in Thailand. Just changing the limes made a world of difference.
I used new thinkpad x220 back in the day, the only annoying thing was that lan required some driver download from vendor(realtek, if remember correctly), did not work out of the box.

There’s always a way, although the most convenient are third party. After all, it’s a 'nix! Recommend Karabiner for keyboard specifically, or BetterTouchTool for all of your inputs / Window management. “Contexts” to replace Spotlight, and Shortcat for mouse-less GUI control.
That reasoning is problematic, as it amounts to reviving the concept of "original sin" to apply it to anyone who happens to live in a developed economy. By throwing blanket statements such as that, it is discouraging even the small changes that may help (for we are all "sinners" regardless), and diffuses responsibility from those who truly could make an impact.

I believe a lot of hand-wringing on these topics comes from positions of economic privilege, usually in the richer end of developed economies. I see little awareness of the lifestyles of individuals of mid-to-lower socio-economic status in the developed world, how little their share of impact is compared to those of the middle and upper class, and how little room of manoeuvrer they may have to make a difference even if they had the time and energy to.

You also dont have to go far and dont need much cash. In Germany the last generation of the Red Army Faction is still on the run and from time to time makes it into the news for robbing a money courier. The other former members of RAF, RZ and co who were caught a few years ago lived rather ordinary lifes in the French countryside. Once you severed all ties to your former life and your looks changed over time you are good. Bulger was only caught after someone recognized him due to persistent media coverage and alerted the FBI.
The Guardian is giving a voice to people who are at a disadvantage. This is not virtue signaling, this article is written by an indigenous brazilian... they don't have the money to buy ad space like e.g. the brazilian farmer lobby has.

Not even that far. Primarily vegetarian diets and less driving would make mountains of difference for the world. As someone who is fairly new to adulthood I dont really see why we work so much - there just doesn't seem like there is much to "get".

> I blame the KDE vs Gnome fragmentation, and over-customisation.

Fragmentation is one of the double-edged swords of all open-source projects. It leads to greater innovation, at the expense of duplication and wasted efforts.

I would still rather have the freedom to choose and contribute to a fragmented ecosystem, rather than have to be forced to deal with issues in a black-box propitiatory OS with "unclear" motivations...
Ponzi scheme for me the reason of our greed and endeavour of money. And these people are just selling hope that's all.
I lost my uncle because of it. He was a jeweller and didn't care as well as he should about the finance and found himself lots of debt.

Sometimes I remind myself we're so much oriented about the money we forget why we need to earn it.

I call it infinite loop problem let me explain very briefly.

Let's say you want to open the door of your house but your keys are in the car so for that you need to open the car first. But car is locked and you're thinking about where did you put the keys then your wife opens the house door.

Some of us still focused to open the car to get the keys although it's unnecessary anymore. They're in the infinite loop.

Excellent question here is, sometimes it's extremely hard to find our own defects, if I would have been Ponzi would it have been possible to realise my way is going down.
You even see stories about those officers going to jail, there was a pretty prominent case in the UK.
> But with some types of food it's pointless. He will try them if we are insistent enough, but it makes him gag and regurgitate.

Ha. That never stopped my mother. Her approach (in the 70's mind), was, "You won't eat it your lunch? Fine, you'll get it again at dinner (cold). You won't eat it at dinner? Go to bed hungry, and you can have it for breakfast in the morning".

I learned to suppress my gag reflex. My sister learned to smuggle food out in her pockets and dispose of it in the garden.

Then I hit puberty and for the life of me couldn't remember why I was being so fussy. I ate everything over four meals a day.

When I became a parent we both swore we wouldn't do that to our kids. We were sensitive to the fact kids often don't like strong flavours, or certain textures, and the only rule we had was, if you didn't eat a minimum of veg and fruit, you'd get no "treats" (which were always doled out in small quantities). The kids are now adults and have a good sense of what a healthy diet is.

I don't know what happens under their hood, but I know for sure they source some data from third parties. Makes sense to, considering TfL provides a lot of data - e.g. live bus times etc
This is partly because drivers aren't actually paying there way, and are subsidised by others a ridiculous amount.
Yes, the same thing happens in Belgium and the Netherlands. Waze, Google Maps et al. will route traffic through any road they can find if it saves times.

But neighborhoods are left with all the negatives. Is it really worth it to route hundreds of vehicles through a small street with a school just to save drivers 1 minute of their time?
I’m pretty sure they’d have a lot more to lose by intentionally causing a crash, right before launching a whole constellation of the same satellite.
> "right to be forgotten" type of policy

The right to be forgotten is a right, as the name suggests.

What's the difference between deleting my social timeline and burning my pictures or my diary?

One of my favourite books is "The Late Mattia Pascal" (Il fu Mattia Pascal) from Luigi Pirandello, it was written in 1904 and it's the story of a man who's unhappy and one day discovers that his wife and mother in law found a body and declared it to be his own, so he becomes officialy a dead person.

He takes advantage of the fact to escape his true identity and create a new one, settling in Rome, far from were he was born.

The story is fascinating and a masterpiece about what's really "identity", how we all wear masks and how we all are different (sometimes very) people depending on who you ask.
