This is awesome! And soon to be updated/integrated into FastAPI, with all the new features.
This has got to be one of the most interesting things I've seen in a while. Fun idea, what could hackers do if we had such a map? Just imagine the new tools we could make.
How easy is it to migrate these days?
You can have an Apple developer account without paying for it, there’s a free tier, and I think that is allowed for what your parent is referring to.
So why the sunset?
Ask HN: How developer friendly is APIs with cursor based pagination?
I see companies like Shopify deprecate their existing pagination in favor of cursor based pagination. As a developer, I always hated cursor based pagination because it restricts me to serially move from one page to another. Is this developer friendly? Why do companies migrate to cursor based pagination?
> If the next generation is rebellious - and they end up being like the last rebellious generation - we are looking at 22 years of deep technological developments that will lead to the next big things in two generations from now.

Or quite the opposite. They’ll be anti-tech, like: let’s break up and impose limits to tech companies and research.
React/Redux? Also there seems to be plenty of TEA clones in various compile to JS languages.
It's not quite as bad as an analog water simulator made of water. They have built a programmable machine that can run any quantum problem it can load into its qubits. The problem is, it has so few qubits that it can only load tiny problems. The claim is that it can still beat classical computers on some subset of these tiny problems.

There are a lot of different types of cities. European cities tend to be more dense and walk-able for historical reasons. Not everyone has the luxury of living in such nice environment or even moving places.

Even as a walker, cities would be so much nicer to walk into without the threat of cars and the pollution that they generate. Imagine walking in the middle of the road, fresh air, you have the space to cross people, some space could be reclaimed for plants and benches. Why not create the ideal environment if we can?
It depends on your definition of "wealthy".

If you're worth less than 12 digits, you can easily "stash" your money in 3-month US treasury bills. They currently yield about 1.63%. https://www.bankrate.com/rates/interest-rates/91-day-treasur...

Granted, if you're a Russian Oligarch or similar, this might not meet your definition of "a safe home". Otherwise, they're about as low risk as possible.

I agree with your take on sovereign funds etc. The whole world can't just park its excess cash in T-bills.

But unless you're talking about the dumbest of this money, it should be very broadly diversified: worldwide stock markets, bonds, real estate, natural resources, and smaller amounts to things like venture capital.
I'm not sure about that area, but pedestrian bridges are safer and more efficient, especially when traffic is heavy.
You need the small subset of people who actually understand how the software works to fix the bugs, lest you just end up playing whack-a-mole and introducing new bugs.

Ideally, it wouldn't be like this, but we don't live in an ideal world, and there's always some unintended consquence when you start pulling the string on anything nontrivial. And there's never sufficient automated testing, especially for the things that haven't been a problem yet.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, shipping outside of the US is pretty much all we can do at this point, I’m sorry to say.
Podcasts can also be uploaded to services that intersperse advertising (or place them at determined points) on their own, even if the host doesn't read the adverts during the podcast.
Midroll is the big name in that business.
To put it into perspective, 8th street is an 8 lane street at that intersection, with cars driving past 50 and 55 mph all the time. Not to mention that there are several on/off ramps for the Florida Turnpike right next to it. I would be scared of crossing the street there to be honest. If I remember correctly there had been several hit and runs of students too.

The bridge was connecting FIU with a large student residence. Negligence during construction notwithstanding, to say that a simple crosswalk was enough is disingenuous.

But this means you have to install 10 different extra plugins, 1 for your webconfrerence progrtam , 1 for screenrecording, other one for the other screen sharing that you need for the other project, other binary for some hobby you have that needs that feature.

The solution is to use a browser you trust and ask for browsers to have this modules off by default, maybe have the option to compile without pdf, webcam support, I am sure there will be people that would compile this browsers with the things they do not like out.

In Linux you could probably sandbox your borwser so it will not even see your real webcam or other hardware. So I prefer installing a full featured open source browser then 10 closed binary executables.
This is the first time, and maybe it's just because of the length of the interview; that I've noticed Snowden's being slightly untethered from sensibility. The first 10 minutes in particular was a little worrisome.

I imagine that being stuck in Russia, with the pressure he's under has contributed to this. I do wonder how much of this personality bubble was in place when he made the decisions he did.

Nevertheless, I do have a love hate relationship with what he did.
How is the post anti-Trump?
There is a --daemon option but do not know if it includes this behavior, maybe give it a go. I prefer to keep it in the foreground so I can kill it easily.

If you are using ssh keys you can at least use a bash while loop without incurring any password prompts:

> Almost all countries have ample space that will still be habitable for their entire population in 2100, even if climate change is left unchecked

That's a really dubious one. There's multiple issues with global warming, drought and desertification being one of them (and it probably will not affect a whole country) but the second one is just the max temperature the human body can, withstand especially with high humidity. When this threshold is passed, you can have thousands of people dying at the same time in your country. When every summer, heatwaves take a few of your neighbours you start reconsidering how nice your country is.

Remember, we're going to have more than a 2°C increase in mean temperature by the end of the century, and maybe 4°C. 4°C is the difference between now and the last ice age when the whole Europe was covered by huge glaciers.

Also, many people live near shores, which will be damaged frequently as the see level rises… How would India, who have a borderline genocidal tendency (fantasised mostly at the moment buy still frightening) against Muslims nowadays, react to the massive arrival of Bengali people coming from Bangladesh after a typhoon destroyed their land?

> Italy is a tiny country in terms of land area, so why would they need to take so many?

Because that's where they arrive… I'm not speculating when I talk about Italy, this is happening right now (not 10 millions, but hundred of thousands).

> Anyways, my core point here is (a) we won't need to deal with this migration anyways, because we will solve climate change way before it becomes necessary, and (b) even if we didn't lower our emissions, I'm confident we can solve the migration problem without millions of deaths.

Regarding (a), you should probably read this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissions_budget

Regarding (b), I admire your confidence, but it sounds delusional in regard of the whole human history.
I run a popular Quiz website. I make around $6,000 per month from Google adsense. I work between 2-3 hours a week usually posting quiz links on my Pinterest page. My only expense is hosting which is around $20 per month (Digital Ocean). I have never advertised my website and it gets all the traffic from Pinterest Organically. Compare to my salary, I'm an IT Administrator in my day job and make $400 per month. I live in Ethiopia :) I thought this inspires my fellow HN. Good day.
Might as well ask here, but why do bicyclists always seem to blow past stop signs and red lights? Whenever I am on a motorcycle, I always feel more endangered by a bicyclist coming out of nowhere than a car. Can anyone give me insight into this behavior?
So in NL, this is tackled with a tiered classification, in which the lowest tier (<25kph) is a bike, middle tier (25-45kph) is classified scooter (under certain circumstances and in certain cities such as Amsterdam you must use the car lanes) and 45kph and up is indeed a motorcycle, which means helmet+suitable clothing and car-lane only (but not highways).

This is not ideal, as the (fast) electric bike is new, also in NL, and people will misanticipate them (which I've experienced first hand). You're right, mixing speeds is a bad idea. This will improve with better infra (wider cycling paths, bike highways) and getting used to this new vehicle. On the other hand, the problem is similar to the scooter, which also doesn't fit the car or bike class, so perhaps with time a new type of lane must be invented. Some cities/political parties in NL are thinking of lowering the car speed limit from 50 to 30 (in urban area), which will facilitate mixing in scooters and electric bikes with car traffic.

Another important fact is liability: heavier vehicles are more liable (weight makes responsible). So in any accident between, say, car and electric bike, the car will be at fault by default, unless there is proof to the contrary. This leads to more cautious driving.
You should see JRE#917, Steven doesn't really care about the whole marijuana issue and Joe completely bullies and flames him for like thirty minutes.

That one was not well-reasoned or patient, but other than that, I've found almost all of Joe's podcasts to be very good. He's definitely one of the greatest interviewers on the planet right now.
That’s interesting. We too run ads on Instagram and Facebook and Google, but we’ve only found customers via Google Ads.

Government owns the prefix that is rented to businesses who wants to start their phone company (well at least in Europe).

Also the prefix in the phone number is exactly like a domain.

Even if there were no prefixes, one way or another you need a governing body that ensures no clashes occur and has power to decide on disputes. So no two companies try to assign same number to two different customers.
> Apple's 30% cut is completely orthogonal to their human review.

Several billion in income allows them to hire more staff. It's up to them to view this as orthogonal.
It would be great if they could start to publish benchmark results for Shor's algorithm if the conputer is able to run it, even if the results are not exact at this point.
Boxstarter makes it even easier, as you can just do Win+R, and type https://boxstarter.org/package/nr/{packages from choco separated by commas}. It bootstraps chocolatey and installs everything, and I can be running on a new system in 10 minutes.

You're not really nitpicking, the parent comment has stretched democracy somewhat to encompass a lot of what I assume they associate with a good government.

They really haven't.

At this juncture, yes.
The domestic political processes of the United States, even when they amount to a civil war, are not binding on other states, however similar or dissimilar they be. I can imagine California would be prevented if they asked for independence today, but Scotland looked pretty much free to go if they'd wanted it recently.

Their IMAP implementation is terribly broken. It will most likely just create brand new messages and not delete the old ones. It's one of the many reason I moved off gmail (to self hosting) in 2012. Another being domestic spying .. which everyone has forgotten about apparently.

I'm working on FormAPI [1], which helps developers fill out PDF documents. I started working on this around 2 years ago. I was mostly working on it part-time, and I took a few breaks while I was doing freelance work to pay the bills. This year I raised some money from Earnest Capital [2], which has allowed me to go full-time and hire some contractors.

I used to think that I wanted to build a one-person company and stay very small, but I wasn't able to pull that off. I picked a niche that was too small, and I also didn't have the skills to execute very well (especially in marketing, sales, etc.), so growth has been quite slow. So I've exploring some new features that could increase the number of potential customers, and the new scope is going to be way too much work for one person, so I'm looking forward to building a small team of 5-10 people.

Earnest Capital has been really awesome, and I still think the SEAL is a good deal [3]. My experience has been similar to an accelerator program, but with a bit less pressure. I've had some really helpful calls with mentors, and the weekly update calls are also great for accountability. So I would recommend Earnest if you want to raise some money while building a sustainable company.

To me there's a big difference, in terms of urban transport, between a pedal bike and an e-bike

Sure, the difference can be substantial depending on model, but my point here was that I interpreted your comment as the latter not being a bicycle anymore.
> Regardless, Joe's getting so many good interviews in the past two years.

Joe has been a better journalist than 99% of real journalists. Makes pretty much everyone else look like an amateur at this.
I am glad you're willing to educate yourself. I hope to give you at least a starting point and will try to address the points you made.

1) Regarding the correlations: The reason why you don't "see" the correlation (i.e. the lines don't perfectly overlap) if you plot CO2 and average global temperature is because there are other effects that obscure the correlation. For example, on the scales of 500 million years, the power coming from the sun (solar luminosity) has increased [1]. Milankovitch cycles are also important over longer timescales. Albedo changes of Earth's surface, etc. I have already cited the principle control knob paper. If you don't agree with the results, we can discuss that but, if so, please give some arguments instead of "I don't believe it".

2) "CO2 lags temperature": this is true in some cases. Vostok ice core is often cited and indeed the authors point to a ~1000 year difference between CO2 and temperature [2]. A more recent analysis [3] goes into more detail on a global sample. They find that on average, CO2 leads temperature but in the southern hemisphere, temperature leads CO2. This lag can be explained by ocean circulation changes.

3) "multiple periods of warming and cooling in the last 1000 years, that were just as bad or worse as what we're in now": A landmark paper was released this year reconstructing the global temperatures in the last 2000 years [4] and they concluded the current warming is global and warmer than ever. Other warm periods in the last 2000 years were simply a) not as warm AND/OR b) not global. One image says it all [5].

4) Record cold not reported? I get a lot of search results from mainstream outlets when searching [6]. Of course, one cold/warm year does not disprove/prove global warming, but you know that. Also, weather and climate are different but you also know that. Popsci did an article explaining how this cold can be interpreted [7].

The fact that the people in the other group see it differently doesn't mean they're right though. It doesn't mean either group is right, but at the end of the day one can still take a step back and evaluate the two sources/modes of informing oneself and decide that one is good and the other is bad - with respect to what we agree it's good to optimize for (forming more accurate mental models, being well informed in general and not being deceived either by others or self, etc).
Google is just as bad at this and have many of the same issues of too many things being built at the same time. Googlers often lament that fixing bugs is never a priority to new features which is pretty much Apple as well. Perhaps too much complex technology is hard to do.

I work for a non-tech similarly big company that uses a lot of software (that we make ourselves as well as integrating vendors) and our processes and quality are even worse than Apple and Google.

Ask HN: Was quitting your job to work on your project worth it?
I've been working on a Saas product from the past year and it's making around $500 per month now. I've been working on it while working on a full time job. I've reached a point where it has become really hard and stressful to do both so I'm thinking of quitting the job to give the Saas product a try.

I have savings to live off for a year. I'm still not sure if this product can be successful because it is something new and needs a lot of work and validation and that's the risk I need to take.

But at the same time I'm finding it very difficult to quit my job and take this risk because I'm not sure if it is worth it. I wonder if anyone here has had similar expereience and how it paid off.

In the Netherlands there's a distinction between hi-speed e-bikes (45kph) and regular ones (many speed-limited to 25kph).

The latter count as bicycles and the former as mopeds which are very often not allowed in bycicle lanes and have other rules to comply with.

Pretty much. Which is why it is beyond silly we aren't using DNA more. Its a ternary encoded program. We have trillions of species. Ffs, lets train a generative model on the distribution of DNAs among all possible life. Then grow it.

GANs for generating random organisms anyone? Human 2.0 can probably come about after some of the feature vectors are figured out via PCA on the activations. Just boost feature vector for intelligence.

Anyways, yeah! Real matter is already programmable. As programmers its easy to forget that physics says this whole thing is all a monism of information and computation. Code and data. Yin and yang. Even the prime numbers come about as data because of self modifying code. P(0)=2 but all future primes are defined by not being divisible by P(x<n) - think snake eating its own tail and yet growing while doing so.

In fact, the most beautiful part about the prime numbers is that they are defined sequentially yet alternative constructions exist which are `atomic`. It is odd that something defined in such a sequential process would form a beautiful structure that can be reduced to direct construction. Relatedly, we see this all the time with recursive functions being turned into procedural ones or functional style data pipleline transformations.

The ordering is actually irrelevant to the chaos that the primes display between multiplication and addition. That is, if you defined the first prime as 3 you would yield an entirely different set of primes. For example, 4 would be prime. Beurling figured this out and a lot more through what he called Generalized Primes [1].
