These articles are indeed often hyperbolic, and many of your points are fine and neglected by proponents. However, "higher bandwidth" probably refers to the number of people per second that can be transported through a certain lane width. At most speeds cars require roughly 2 seconds minimum between them, and they mostly are single occupancy, so they can't do more than 0.5 persons per second per ~12 foot lane.

Bicycles can do more on account of less spacing front/back and side to side. (This is sort of surprising given that bikes have a slower top speed, but it's really the time-spacing between vehicles, not their top speed, that matters when you're operating at capacity.) Bus can do more on account of being more passengers per vehicle. Trains are denser yet. All these have drawbacks on other metrics, of course.
They do. But more commonly, CO2 is intentionally produced in greenhouses by burning natural gas (or propane) for no other reason than to create CO2 for the benefit of the plants:

The fact that the racist Sarah Jeong still works there weighs against this theory. The Times is depressingly “woke.”
Chicago is good for run-of-the-mill / noir crime stories, but the audience for those is limited. LA is a weird place in that pretty much anything crime-related is actually plausible, so the potential breadth of stories is a lot bigger. You could make a story about a group of Croatian street dancers laundering dirty Persian money through Venice beach dispensaries using couriers on electric scooters to move cash around and I would actually believe that's a thing that could be happening right now.
It doesn't. Instead, you install WireGuard for iOS for free and take a photo of the QR code supplied by your sysadmin, which just encodes a simple text configuration file with an ed25519 key. Then your sysadmin can route all your iOS traffic however they want, whether you are connected to the public internet by cellular or wifi.
I’ve been super annoyed at some bugs in iOS Safari. In particular, double tap to zoom on web pages is completely broken. It’s a really old feature that just suddenly stopped working in the new iOS release.
I can only surmise (hope) that their resources are diverted towards Something Big. Could be ARM macOS and/or AR glasses. Not that this excuses the bugginess of their current core products.

Bringing up comparisons to Steve Jobs must be the tech equivalent of Godwin's Law, but if there was one thing about him, it's that he actually was a user of his own products, like us.

It feels like there's no one at Apple (or other companies) like that anymore. They can only try to guess at what it must be like to be a user, so they can't nitpick all the little things that annoy us.
Are they that buggy? They seem very stable to me and I’ve been running them since the betas.
+1, or use any other log-based replication mechanism (e.g. Logstash). The point is that instead of having two independent systems that can easily go out of sync (if not using distributed transactions) and become permanently incostistent with each other, you'll now have the database as the primary source of data (commonly referred to as the system of record) and Elasticseach as a secondary, eventually consistent search index. This approach sacrifices read-your-writes consistency though, but for a search index this can be tolerated.
Most of the VPN I've used have as much bandwidth as I originally have.

But the connection is not very stable to say at least, it sometimes drops to zero (but recovers quickly).
This is an exaggeration, literally one type of data is necessarily collected. Your fingerprints don’t factor into your college admissions.
In its proper use as setting a few words of foreign languages in a mostly Chinese text, the fonts succeed in their job.
It’s simpler than all that. They’re buggy because Apple inexplicably decided they need to ship a new OS every year rather than when the features are ready. Reap what you sow.
Well if you casually observed the last two generations of my Hispanic family, you would say we made it work too. But that is because the culture pushes the youngest daughters to not get married and have no children. So now we have multiple women in our family who are bitter, boring, poor, and have destroyed their careers prospects because "it works" for the rest of the family.
What a myopic viewpoint. ISP's can and do sell customer data:

www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/03/28/congress-clears-way-for-isps-to-sell-browsing-history.html

It's doesn't take a logical leap to infer that a company whose entire purpose and business model is to provide anonymization as a service is less likely to sell out its own customers than the ISP's.

Yes VPN's can log despite claiming they don't. But the well known ones are highly incentivized to do as they claim because lying would destroy trust and would ultimately destroy their business. Governments are also more likely to target giant national ISP's than some VPN provider whose servers are in some very liberal and consumer leaning countries outside the US. Also securing your own VPS on the internet and managing it without getting pwned is well outside the expertise of most people and is probably not recommended.
'Too Big to Fail' means that the government steps in to bail out a company because its failure would be a threat to the economy. Private companies have been saving each-other from liquidity crises for centuries, because bankruptcy destroys a lot of value.
If I were elected to city council, I would work to reduce bike lanes and convert them to motor vehicle lanes. The more cars, the more economic activity, the more CO2, the more plant food, the more people who can be sustained by agriculture!

One day power will be taken from the biking vegan green fadboys, and that day will be glorious!
Most trips are very short. West LA where I live, biking is my fastest commute option (4 miles) because I don't get stuck in traffic.

Pushing people out of cars would probably speed up the cars that are used by reducing the traffic around them. Families can handle more than you'd expect, and I regularly ride the bus with elderly and disabled people, but even if you have someone that needs a car, they don't necessarily need a parking space at each end.
Libra reportedly could peg its cryptocurrencies to national currencies
In cities, bikes are often faster than cars because they just don't get held up by traffic.

In Manhattan or Brooklyn on normal streets my bike goes the same speed as cars when everyone's moving... but I don't suffer any of the bottlenecks. A delivery or moving van or garbage truck might be blocking traffic for two minutes but I go right by. At each red light there might be ten cars stopped but I go straight to the front and cross first when the light turns green. It's significantly faster, in congested Manhattan streets I'd estimate often twice the speed of taking a car/taxi, certainly during rush hour.

And higher-bandwidth if you've ever been to, say, China. When you see 50 cyclists crossing an intersection taking up the space that would fit 5 cars, well it's pretty obvious.
The confidentiality protection is not really absolute - the encrypted VPN traffic is susceptible to traffic analysis[1]. For example, your traffic pattern fingerprint could be correlated and matched to your online identity if your ISP and an ad network or another globally positioned middleman actor colluded on it.

L.A. County made us drive FOUR 8 foot ground rods into the ground, no less than 8 feet apart, for our ground-mounted 13 kW solar array.

This is ridiculous beyond description and it is NOT in the N.E.C. at all.

The problem you run into with places like L.A. County is that incompetent plan checkers just want to play "cover my ass" and make up rules. There is no practical way to challenge them. They are the absolute authority (unless you have millions of dollars and YEARS to fight them).

I checked with contractors and the recommendation was "just do it and don't complain or they'll make your project a living nightmare".

So, we did.

They still made the project a nightmare to complete. They added a massive chunk to the overall cost and it took six months longer than it should have taken to complete it. Their interference made it such that this solar system will likely never recover the construction costs. Well, maybe in 30 years. It's a shame. Had I known the nightmare it is to deal with this bureaucracy I would have invested my money elsewhere.

California is sucking more and more with time. L.A. County is even worse.
Where would that end? Do we hold consumers responsible for purchasing things that use materials that were mined? For better or worse, justified or otherwise, people choosing violent rebellion against law and order are responsible for their own actions even if the greedy corporations are bringing infrastructure, wealth and pollution to their island. A remarkable number of people have successfully not started civil wars when Rio Tinto opens a mine nearby.

I don't know anything about blood diamonds and don't care to learn; although I think it is something to do with Africa. I refuse to work in Africa because everything I've heard suggests it is too unsafe. I think lab-grown diamonds are cheaper and of higher quality so we should go with them instead. Or Rio Tinto's pink diamonds sourced from the Argyle mine in Australia.
A director position is a managerial role, not a security engineering role, moreover a director is typically a manager of other managers, who in this case has at least one more security manager above them before the change. I am not a fan of measuring a firm's commitment to security engineering by counting the number of managers in this role, rather than looking at the quantity and quality of engineers. This could be a flattening of a hierarchy or it could be something else.

I often get really slow download speeds from the GitHub CDN, which my ISP must not peer with or something. My ISP has faster routes to most of the rest of the internet, including some VPN endpoints, so a VPN can be used to cut out the bottleneck and allow me to download large binaries off GitHub at 2 MB/s instead of 80 KB/s.

>It's not a matter of 'viable'. It's a fund raising exercise.

As it stands there are very few usable PPC laptops, just like there are relatively few usable ARM laptops (although that is improving quite rapidly). The development of a modern PPC laptop would go pretty far towards making PPC a viable general purpose computing architecture, albeit one likely always reserved for enthusiasts.

>You don't need a PPC box to try out "Windows, MacOS, Linux, and a handful of BSDs".

I'm not saying that I need a PPC box to switch OS's, I'm saying that doing things on a different architecture is a good exercise and helps you learn things that can be improved your current one / shows you things that it does well that you should appreciate. It is a good exercise if you want to have a greater understanding and perspective on things you might ordinarily ignore.

The specs of their proposed laptop are indeed fairly weak, and last I checked PPC support was not particularly great in linux. There's also the issue of hardware bugs on a complex new system.

I completely understand people not being excited by this device, and even wondering why anybody would care. I care because it's different, and because I've seen significant value for myself in sometimes doing ordinary things differently.

why not just "spyware"?

Yep just noticed this today. Why remove this feature ? Did people complain about this during beta and Apple ignore it. Although zooming in by pinching and then double tapping reverts to original size which is nowhere near as useful. Fingers crossed for a point release that brings this back.

Your bias appears to be showing as well.
The unemployment rate is the short term metric which is exactly what I’m taking about.

A long term perspective means preventing future recessions too, not just fixing the short term problems. Creating new moral hazards, negative incentives, behaviour and careers which would have been tarnished and discredited normally are allowed to continue, often with the same people and companies.

If we were serious about preventing recessions our policies should not only be measured in how they deal with the fallouts but also addressing the things that cause it in the first place, and balancing what’s lost by not letting the markets naturally correct themselves.

Yup, between being able to move past traffic, occasionally being able to bypass rules of the road (e.g., even if you don't actually bike the wrong way down a one-way, you can still legally walk your bike to the end of the block in less time than it'd take a car to circle), being able to take the subway, and parking, I'm often as fast and occasionally much faster on my bike than a car would be. (My experience is also Manhattan/Brooklyn, though this was often true in SFBA too for short trips.)

When I moved apartments recently, I easily beat my movers' truck via bike-subway-bike from my old place to the nee one because there was some temporary congestion on one of the main roads but the subways were fine.

The famous calligraphers' styles were used in early woodblock printing, but the Song/Ming style you see nowadays are more rightly said to be influenced by the constraints of printing.

A way to think about this is that Western serif typefaces come from unical script, but their present standard forms are more rightly said to be influenced by the limitations of metal type.

An idea i have is bike tubes.
They seem to have at least a fair bit of effort devoted to reversing earlier maligned decisions, given the new Mac Pro, thicker iPhones with larger batteries, and the rumors about ditching butterfly switches on the laptops.
The key word here is "urban". I ride my bike around the city core sometimes just for fun and I can easily keep up with cars because they are going so slow. Now imagine how many bikes you could fit on a two lane road vs how many cars. Obviously if the car is coming from the suburbs its going to be faster.

> Also, serious question: if electric SDCs became widespread, would it still make sense to advocate things like bikes?

Yes, absolutely yes. The cars would still have to go somewhere after they have dropped off their occupants. Hopefully we will get on-demand carpool services that allow us to have vastly fewer vehicles on the road, which would free up space for bikes and other public transit.

> You can't transport a family of three or a baby as safely in a vehicle smaller than a car

Not everyone can use a bike of course. Some will have to use public transit, and yes some will have to use a car for various reasons. The streets don't have to be car-less, we just need to get enough cars off the road to ease congestion and be able to turn existing lanes into bike lanes or public transit lanes. Once good reliable and quick public transit exists, there won't be such a strong incentive to own a car.
Guess we are dealing with purists here. Mind you that Chromium is free and open-source just like MySQL. A strategical move by the community to fork MySQL to MariaDB to ensure it remained free and open from the tech giant after it was acquired by Oracle. How Brave is any different? It made a similar move. Some people hate crypto. Fine. Personally I've never used the Brave crypto. Perhaps FF 70 has completely fixed its performance problem, sure, happy to switch. But before that really happens Brave is still a viable interim solution.
How is this inefficient?
I am also finding text selection in iOS 13 hit/miss. I either cannot activate the text selection or I cannot select without the cursor jumping all over the place. Also, I miss the magnifying glass for text selection. Did Apple remove that?
A good way to stick to deadlines is to tell people that you have something to show them on a specific date, then you feel obliged to meet that deadline (to avoid embarrassment). It also forces you to accept trade-offs in technologies and stops you falling down rabbit holes...

I'm on the second-latest MacBook Pro. I completely erased my disk and installed a fresh copy of Catalina when it was released. It's been patched with the post-release update.

Almost all settings are at their recommended defaults, there is no third-party stuff that modifies system behavior, and I mostly only use Apple's own apps and services for stuff like music, books, cloud, mail etc.

And boy yes there are bugs. Not outright crashing/rebooting, but bugs there are.

I've been using macOS since Lion and I can't recall such a dismal release as Catalina's.

To some extent this happens, but it's rare.

Much of the sexism I experience in the tech industry is ignorance. Guys assume their female counter parts will work the same way they do and then dock them when they don't line up with expectations, sometimes firing them, despite that they were successfully getting the job done.

I've had managers hire me just for my looks. I've been the lead engineer at multiple companies, and one of those companies management refused every single bit of advice I gave, refused to let me attend important meetings, and when I finally was able to I was intentionally talked over. However, if I convinced other to make one of my suggestions on my behalf, their response was well received.

Around 44% of females in the tech industry who are in their mid 30s leave the tech industry. It's that bad.

When there is a decade+ of unhelpful and often harmful behavior, it results in wanting to leave and have nothing to do with it. Some do start a business. It does happen, but they're far from the majority.
The irony here is that the bikes aren't slowing traffic, the endless road works are. Also Chch is basically one giant Wilsons parking lot now.

Personally I find these gorgeous but I’ve seen some scrutiny on HN for apps that use such illustrations. I’ve considered using them for my app, still in alpha release so I haven’t felt confident to post here yet, but I worry usage of stock material may bias people to feel the app isn’t original cause the illustrations aren’t.

That being said I expect that people outside the tech-space wouldn’t be exposed to such designs often and would find then as lovely as I am :).

Have I misread the sentiment?
