That's really false. They are professional drivers, it's much safer to bike around them as opposed to regular people who don't understand how NYC streets work.

Could you please explain how you add that (those?) rules to uBlock Origin?

I use UBO to block js across the web by default and would like to include twitter but their "no-js" site is garbage.
Well, I didn’t mention a particular phone, but since the worldwide penetration of adult smart phone users is close to 90%, don’t you think you might be the outlier? Obviously most people find a use for them.

And since smart phones can run different apps, it’s not about the “one true phone”.

It’s like the old Slashdot feigned ignorance meme “Do people still watch TV? I haven’t owned a TV in 10 years”.
Because when you import stuff to the U.S. it has to have the country of origin clearly marked somewhere. That's why it says Made in China.

It's as much a communication tool as physical violence is. It conveys zero information. Not having this "tool" would require people to think and argue, which is far from pointless.
Amazon has a voluntary program called project zero where a manufacturer can serialize every unit they send in. I'm not sure how widely it's used. For a lot of A-list brands it's almost certainly better if consumers lose faith in Amazon (and buy directly from their sites instead).

I’d love to take a look at your list
Cities are becoming expensive for two main reasons. People with unlimited funds buy them up because its an investment you can actually use, and dual income couples cannot move to smaller places where it is possible that only one of the two can get a well paying job in their chosen profession.

The internet has created an environment where it is incredibly easy for landlords to find tenants and dramatically decrease the cost of tenant churn for them. This allows them to raise rents much more aggressively, and quickly, than they could have done in the past.
Awesome story. Always good to get a reminder that running your own business is not the same as being good at doing what your business does.

A friend of mine once told me that there are three equally important things for a contractor/consultant/small business owner to do:

* find the work

* do the work

* get paid for the work

All necessary.
I agree here. Second freezer and lots of space for storage is a must. Not for tiny apartments. A suburban phenomenon mostly.
It’s really easy to be cash flow negative when you do not have to be cash flow positive.

Even with the rates being inline with competitors and cost of real estate, they have an incredible amount of corporate overhead vs a localized management company. Honestly I can’t see this business model ever working out as short of travel locations there’s nothing they’re bring to the table vs the added costs. It’s a shell game and the third shell is being lifted.

> According to Mayumi’s notes, all of that had been an elaborate ruse. Now, it appeared, they were doing it again, this time for an audience of one.
Not exactly. Such camps certainly exist, but they're not for everyone. I was tinkering with Linux at 7, but only because I had a technical parent who put it on the family computer. I'd say the important part here was that I wasn't given a coding bootcamp course to go through, I just got to play. Eventually, I figured out how to use single-user to re-set the root password and play as much supertux as I wanted. This probably shaped my passion for technology and "solving puzzles" of a technical nature more than anything else.

I'd say if you really want youth interested in technology, you basically need a "montessori model" for computers. I don't believe that's likely to happen in school; you need funding, which requires measurable results. There's also too much bad stuff on the internet for schools to run that risk at that scale.

There are two rough classes into which I would break "tech guys". The first is the sort who enjoys it for what it is. Shaves yaks configuring his system, tries out new languages for the heck of it, that sort. The second has a perfectly respectable career in software, and enjoys other things when he comes home at five p.m. I'm not saying one is better or worse, but at seven years of age, you'll only have the few of the first type _really_ interested. Type two will often switch to a different toy once frustrated (i.e. upon a serious bug). You can't expect everyone to derive the same level of marginal benefit from just playing with tech.

Type twos necessarily better or worse, but we don't put kids into "plumbing boot-camp" at seven expecting them to develop life-long passions. Maybe a few will, but not many. To put it another way, you'll get a lot more kids into architecture letting them play with legos free-form than handing them a kit and saying, "Build this model by following the instructions."
That is exactly my experience too. My parents just kept calling me when they were using Android phones. I bought them iPhone to get my free time back.

100%. From the one time I saw layoffs it looked like an excel spreadsheet calculation. (I wasn't laid off, survived two during the dot bomb era.)

I actually have sympathy for folks on both sides of the table. I can't imagine thinking you have a job and being told you don't. And I can't imagine having to go through a list of team members (some of whom you might have recruited or worked with) and telling them the same.

If you compare nuclear to traditional coal-fired plants, nuclear plants are a fucking god send from an emissions perspective.

If that's really the case, we should stop worrying about global warming.

I don't agree with this position, for what it's worth.
> > Lowest death toll in the best-case scenario,

> I'm not calling our history the best case, it's a bad case, but it's not the worst case.

Well, in our "bad case" it's still orders of magnitude better than the alternatives...

> it's worse, because of something we didn't foresee, and we regret it for the rest of human history.

Or this is hyperbole, because nuclear plants just aren't that scary in potential worst case harms. You have less harm in 70 years than one typical year of coal power does-- perhaps less than one typical month of coal power inflicts.

Also I don't think your list is fair: counting deliberately nuking places, mining accidents, and radiotherapy accidents.

Again, while nuclear is scary-- it at least is self-limiting. There's plenty of shit we do with chemicals and industrial processes that could be bad forever.
Man, I wish I had a crappy Fry's in my area, all I have is Best Buy, and they overprice everything and don't care a good selection. I miss living near Fry's. I miss being able to want X and have it in the same day and also have a place where I can do a swap in the same day without dealing with postage.

I've been trying to limit how much I buy on Amazon because I don't want to worry about getting something different than I ordered (among other reasons), or have to worry about getting counterfeit stuff. So I'm basically down to Newegg, and while they're fairly prompt, I don't buy enough to make Premier worth it, so I don't have 2-day shipping, which makes it even less convenient.

I'm really quite sad that these stores seem to be going away.
This one got me in the feels man. Same.
When nice places for people become too expensive, the obvious thing to do is to make more nice places for people. In America, however, it is only legal to make more nice places for cars.
I started playing with FutureSplash when it first came out and loved it. It was so easy to use and just a lot of fun.

I was pretty heartbroken when Macromedia acquired it because I knew they'd muck it up. It was hardly anytime at all before they added huge amounts of complexity, and bugs with it, and jacked the price up to a painful point.

I never did buy anything from MacroMedia and I quit buying Adobe software around ten years ago. I don't miss them a bit, but I do still miss FutureSplash.

Regard all of math as a tree based on essentially depth. Right, this is an over simplification since really have a directed graph of dependencies. But cheat a little and get a tree.

Then study the main trunk and larger branches.

For the deep roots, that is, the foundations, go light on those or will get confused, discouraged, and generally stuck-o. E.g., do some axiomatic set theory if really want; see some of the axiom of choice, but go light on the latest material on model theory and forcings.

Then with the trunk and larger branches, will be able, as circumstances require, get to nearly any of the leafs fairly quickly as required.

For that ~2000 page PDF, there, too, try to find the trunk and larger branches and mostly skip over the leafs. Maybe 80% of that book is leafs.

Finding the trunk and larger branches in that book could be challenging. So, instead, just stay close to the commonly recommended undergraduate math major texts and topics. For each such text, at least glance at the 2-3 leading competitive texts and, then, take what is in common as the trunk and larger branches. Also for each topic, pick the best looking treatment and then glance at the other treatments.

If you can, find a really good math prof in a really good math department at a really good university and try to chat with him about your progress for a cup of coffee (you pay) hopefully 4 times a year. If you can find more than one such prof, even better.

Some departments publish their old copies of their qualifying exams; might get some of those!

One more: Don't let yourself get stuck or discouraged. It's a fact of life that not all the materials are good. So there are some actual errors. Some exercises are just too darned hard, need material presented later in the book or not at all, or are just tangential curiosities not worth the trouble. Some of the writing can be obscure. Often there is not enough motivation to let you figure out what is important and what is not: If really obscure definition X or theorem Y seems not to be used in the rest of the book, then find some good reason to study X and Y or maybe delay them or just skip them. Sometimes obscure X, Y actually are important; sometimes not. There should be motivation, but commonly there is not.

If you can't after a good effort understand something or solve an exercise, don't assume that the difficulty is you or that you are leaving a dangerous hole in your knowledge. If later you decide you need that something, then return and give it another shot.

Generally for a really good, mature view of a book, just need more than one pass through it; so don't seek everything on just a first pass. Even given a really thorough first pass, you will notice significantly more on a second pass, e.g., some later material on the first pass will help you better understand the real points and importance of some earlier material on a second pass. And do glance at some alternative treatments.

One recommendation is to chew on a proof until you really see it thoroughly. A counter recommendation is just to notice that we are all short of time. Net, use some judgment.
Europe too. It'd surprise me if it isn't more common than not, globally.
We rarely buy chicken at Costco for just that reason. Chicken at our local grocery store is comparable quality and it's frequently on sale (loss leader perhaps?).

Haven’t taken over images but have sold into oem equipment on ebike stuff before. It’s pretty cool because you get sales you can’t from an independent listing of the same product.

When I’ve done it, it is legit the same thing and verify it, but I can easily see scale or greed causing people to do the wrong thing with this.
Once again you see that back then, the porting game programmer had no access to the any of the original assets, art, code or assistance. I was doing the same work back in the late eighties and it was part of the job to master the game you were porting and then reverse engineer everything.

I love this idea — it really just needs to be expensive enough to make commuting by public transit a better option than by car. There are too many one-off cases where you’d need a car (for one anecdotal example, having to drive a family member home after surgery was an uncommon case where I drove into Manhattan, instead of taking public transit) to make a total ban workable without seriously disrupting people’s lives in other ways.
Percentage of overall devices is going to slow down just as a rule the more devices Android sells though... as an extremely simplified example: it's easier to hits 100% of devices when there are only ten of them to update.

Showing the total number of Play Store devices used to calculate each percentage would be useful to compensate for this, but Google is probably reticent to divulge such information.

The problem is that large organizations like government agencies and corporations don't want alternate opinions, except in the rare cases where they specifically have a devil's advocate position to test the validity of ideas.

Better performance isn't an argument that sways these organizations that care more about preserving the status quo than about success in their stated goals.

ETOR probably stands for Estimated Time of Restoration, i.e. the time at which the power will probably go back on again. A quick search of ETOR led me to https://www.torontohydro.com/how-we-restore-power, which explains how ETORs are calculated and even has a nice video on it.
I can't find it now, but there was a very impressive story posted to HN about a kid who reverse engineered and patched an arcade game in the 80's and sent the code in to the company that made the game, and they wound up flying him out to meet its developers. I think the game was Robotron, but it might have been something else.
Grey market items may say things like "not for sale in [your country]" on the box. They may contain labeling that's not consistent with the standard labeling for your country. They might not have certain disclosures that your country requires for certain types of products. Certain features may not work. Stuff like that. They aren't always identifiable though.
Thanks. I actually do the doorframe thing, and you’re right, it’s not enough.

Ehh, no; and frankly, it's like you've not even read my comments at all. If you have please speak to some specific argument they bring up. Otherwise, repeating the opposing argument serves no point.

It's almost always about money. On the defensive side, there are enough ways to stall that you can almost always outspend someone to win. On the offensive side, you can spend more time investigating and almost assuredly turn something indictable up. Have you really never heard of this?
FYI: The SEC can issue an "administrative subpoena" on its own authority, created by Congress. They're only tested in court if you refuse, at which point the SEC (or similar agency) can go to any court of competent jurisdiction.

This is not an unusual state of affairs; something like ~300 federal enforcement missions can independently issue subpeonas.
>We've sunk untold billions into nuclear, a very small fraction of what has gone into renewables.

It’s the other way around. If the money poured into renewables had gone to nuclear there would be no climate crisis.

>Had California and Germany invested $680 billion into new nuclear power plants instead of renewables like solar and wind farms, the two would already be generating 100% or more of their electricity from clean (low-emissions) energy sources

There are 9 countries with nukes and 31 with nuclear power. The idea that nuclear power plants were build to acquire nukes seems unlikely.
Should be deductible at least. Unfortunately, I did Google it, and they are not, though they were before the recent tax law (though they were counted employer expenses which meant almost no 'normal employee' would be able to do so).

That being said, we're a smart group. We should easily be able to find some loophole just like all the big corps do. Couldn't we form a LLC, all become members, and use the fees as an investment loss each year? When it pays out a severance, pay taxes on the income as you would with employer provided disability insurance.

But yeah, even a $100 / month would be enough, I think, to start it off.

Let's get 1000 members * $100 * 12 and that's $1.2M a year. To start, hire two very good lawyers at $250K / year and a few other auxiliary staff, create a union-only forum that's easily searchable, and start populating it with anecdotes.
i agree, but the rumor consensus seems to be that apple is abandoning the 4-inch form factor (which makes sense, as they don’t want to invest r&d into the low end of the market).

the $399 price is what caught my eye. it will replace the iphone 8 and SE as the low end iphone. hopefully they call it the iphone 9 and not SE 2.
I agree with much of what you say, but I disagree that RoR was "beginner friendly". It had/has a steep learning curve.

From personal experience, and from the (continuing) weekly HN "Hiring" posts that are looking for Rails devs, Rails is popular because it allows you to build an MVP for an entire product or company over a week. It gets rid of all the distractions when it comes to assembling the perfect stack and just works. It's not perfect by far, but, like Flash, it allows you to shortcut the technical work and get right to the creative work.
When I regularly printed my favorite photos in large sizes, there was a Costco in my area well-known in the photography community for having a well-calibrated printer and knowledgeable staff, and their large sizes were crazy cheap (I think perhaps $3 for a quality 12x18 photo).

Much easier than keeping my personal printer running properly.
Costco is the saviour of small islands like Iceland, and Vancouver island.

I actually quite liked the changes in AS3, and it being more programatic, I think it paved the way for what I do now.

After AS3, I remember switching to Flex, and basically using it like any current language. Although I absolutely hated the MXML syntax. I was pretty sad at the time, since AS3 was my main language, but looking back at it now, I think it was for the better.
I don't know why it isn't already in place. Once you go through cashiers and pay, you should be ready to leave, nip it in the bud and design the building exits for that purpose.
I agree, LA has no center. But if you live in either - Los Feliz/Eagle Rock, Sherman Oaks/Studio City, West Holywood, the beach cities, you can make friends who are local.
Totally agree. The creativity is still there, it just shifted to the latest medium that's easily available. Nobody could make cheap quick videos back before iphones and certainly couldn't view them easily on the web until YouTube came along.

And on that point it seems that Flash helped to kill itself by accelerating ubiquitous web video.
I guess this is what they call a "hot take", but it's simply impossible to preserve a neighborhood's character and keep it affordable. You either have to build the same type of residences upward (in the city), or adjacent (in the suburbs), or have prices go through the roof, or have a period of crisis and collapse clear everyone out.
Flash was a perfect example of "this is why we can't have nice things". As a platform for web mini-games or self-contained interactive animations, it remains unparalleled.

As a tool for building whole websites meant to convey information, it was always shit. If lazy web developers hadn't collectively abused flash to make annoying websites and dumb ads, perhaps we could still have fun flash games on the web today.
