Taken to an extreme, this is UBI, and I think we would all benefit to some degree from a system like that if we could get from here to there. On the other hand, I imagine there's quite a bit of research that requires expensive tests and/or apparatus to get right, and I'm not sure how you feasibly come to a situation where you have a bunch of hobby physicists on staff and provide them with a particle accelerator, but just for funsies.

I think allowing people to explore their passions is essential to bringing new ideas into fields, and will likely bring a renaissance to some areas of study, and at least portions of other fields, but I'm at a loss as to how it can help at the forefront of fields that require a lot of investment. Rocketry, for another example. Can anyone make a realistic case that another 10,000, or even 100,000 passionate people could achieve what Space X has over the last few years? I don't doubt they come up with many or all of the same ideas, but the testing of those ideas requires a lot of money.

One problem with this approach is many streaming content providers identify known VPN egress points, consider them methods for subverting region-restrictions, and thus won't serve ANY data to you. Netflix does this w/ PIA (and probably others) for instance.
I plan to wait out the next recession - history shows most people lose more trying to avoid recessions than if they wait them out.

Of course if I was closer to retirement that wouldn't work out. However that is why financial managers suggest a regular plan of diversifying into less risky (but lower return) investments as you get older. Target date retirement plans do that for you.

Real estate is local, so I would be wary of any "system" that purports to be able to identify undervalued properties using a one-size-fits-all approach. I would not recommend buying a property that's far away from you.

As far as landlording a small number of properties, most of the knowledge involved is how to be handy, or knowing trustworthy people who are handy. One piece of advice I would offer here is to charge slightly below-market rent to get better tenants, especially if you're an amateur.

And something a lot of people misunderstand is the relationship between appreciation and cash flow. They're inversely related because lots of appreciation attracts more buyers who drive down rental margins by bidding up purchase prices. Rapidly appreciating properties in a place like Seattle may have lower cash flow than you would anticipate given the demand, and properties with very little appreciation in a state like Ohio may have much better cash flow. But as I said, you should buy a local property and just accept the market conditions. If you want to invest in real estate elsewhere just invest in a REIT.
Have some small sites that have generated a few hundred each month from ads that continue to do well. I don't have to do anything with them. But I have started to double-down on some of these successes by offering some paid SAAS options around them. After an initial push, I hope they will mainly be passive, as well. The free sites serve as the lead generation. So I am OK with them growing organically that way. It's slow, but easy. If one shows more promise or potential than others, perhaps I will put in more feature development or marketing efforts there.
Wasn't he talking about a "special mode" for places where WYSIWIG might be the better case? Not for ALL content, but for some web applications (complex CRUD apps maybe as a good example) I feel like there is still very much a case to be made for this.

Maybe the form it takes would be a good place for discussion, but really there is no reason things like this have to be inaccessable to screen readers any more than a native app would be.
the biggest thing to me seems the be the user experience of applying these 'smart' technologies.

for example, photoshop's liquify feature can now directly isolate eyes, noses, lips, cheek bones, facial structures etc without you needing to be good at using the liquify brushes

but ios is now doing this kind of thing automatically and integrates the editing right there either in the photo by default or in an integrated editing app
It's delivered alongside the webpage so there's no technical way to split the data logically... Unless they're using "rough math".
Good question. Sometimes Amazon does, and sometimes Amazon does not, even within the same product category. Or sometimes it will mix and match the unit. For example, sometimes they will provide the price per ounce for K-cups, and other times, it will provide the price per cup. Not very useful when wanting to do a comparison.

For each of these items that I list, I have manually audited the unit count (after usually automatically doing an initial guess). For many, there's not even an automatic guess, so I have to read the description, look at the photo, etc., in order to determine the unit count.
Only semi-related, but I wonder if owning the SIM card could be used as some sort of rooting mechanism?

However, browsers have played along with US legislation previously. (E.g., when long key encryption was restricted to US versions only.) I'm not sure, if Mozilla would be playing along nowadays, but you can't be too sure, either. Moreover, you could consider certificates installed by antivirus software as some kind of prior art to this. (While considered a security risk, at least by some, they are not delisted.)
> sometimes people will do extraordinary things without the motivation of money

Spending money and doing things will always be more fun than earning money. People earn money to spend it on pursuits like rock climbing, even if climbing the rock itself is free, buying the equipment and taking time off to climb it costs money, so those extraordinary things were done thanks to an earlier motivation to make money.

I have no massive love for Comcast, but are you seriously going to complain about 48.5 kilobytes against your data cap??? This person is desperately seeking something to complain about because they don't like Comcast, not because some harm has been done to them.

It's 50 kilobytes. Your cap is what, a terabyte? That is literally 1/20,000,000th of your data capacity.

It's also impossible to do over a secure connection!! The thing happening is your ISP (the people you give your credit card to) informing you of potentially going over your data cap, by using an insecure connection you are initiating. You already trust them financially, and they're only doing this to help you. They are in no way making you any less secure than you already were. The only "dangerous" thing happening is your use of an unsecured connection!

Oh, I'm sorry, are you a disabled user? Do you work on behalf of disabled users? Have you heard complaints from disabled users about this particular alert breaking the internet for them, because disabled people have never seen a pop-up before?

Yeah, the web sucks if you're disabled. This particular "attack" is no different than just the regular everyday experience on the web. Please write another post just about only this subject, and I would take this seriously. But in truth, you're just piling on anything you can to make this seem worse.

I think there are ways out, that depend on desire and belief that it can be done. Knowing one's own worth (infinite, really) is key, I think. The links I mentioned link to other things that can help. Here is another: https://providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/development-... ...off that main "provident living" page: https://providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng

And there is more at my web site. I have spent a great deal of time thinking about all these things, and writing. I have learned some things for myself.

(edit: a correction: the "development counseling" appears to be for Church members. The "immigrant services" and many other things like those online materials, classes done with the NAACP are not limited to Church members: https://providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/immigrant-se... . Etc.)
Depends how painful you make it to rent a car. If you're talking about a traditional auto rental where there is a half hour of filling out paperwork and doing checks with obtuse and baffling fees and gas options and everything then yes, that's an impediment.

A future where you have an Uber-like app where you summon an autonomous car that takes you to your destination for a nominal fee then who needs to own a car?
I'm not a fan. My iPhone X got burn-in surprisingly quickly, even though the screen was only on a couple of hours a day.

My work iPhone is a 6, so it's LED, and even though I keep its screen on eight hours a day, there's no burn-in.
I will! Thanks for the suggestion! I have heard that from some friends as well.

I think this is a great way to do it. I don't even give people take home assignments, but a small project coded on the applicant's own time, not in real-time with the interviewers watching is far superior to the alternative.

Live coding a problem you were just given, in front of strangers that are also evaluating you for a job is not a good way to evaluate candidates. Interviewing for a job is already a stressful situation, adding live coding to the mix takes it far into absurdly difficult territory. No real life job conditions match that type of situation, and if they do then there are other much bigger problems at play in that company.
I still prefer to carry cash on me for in the event I need to tip I just give the driver or person cash directly.

The other day when I was on a business trip to Florida my driver in pouring rain, loaded my travel bags into the trunk, opened and closed the door like a chauffeur and was very nice talking about various local things I may find interesting. Sure this may be the norm in order to try to get good ratings, but I hardly have to use an Uber to know how common this is.

Ride was $28, paid in app and then handed the gentleman $10 cash after her handed me my bags and he seemed very surprised. He said I could just tip him in the app, which I replied, "I don't want uber getting a cut of your good service". The smile and genuine thank you he gave back was easily worth that 10$.

Even through I agree that the culture of tipping would be better if it didn't exist, I am not going to fight the system by boycotting this individual who is just trying to make it.

Now after reading this article, to me what I assumed was a normal interaction/typical tip was a lot more uncommon than I realized which is probably why he seemed so caught off guard with cash.
The emoji keyboard may not be entirely using the IME API, but it does do some IME-like things even in English. The big thing I'm thinking of is the way it works when you type English words to search the emoji. I think it still most often defaults to passing the keys along to the application as well and replaces it with keyboard keystrokes or selection APIs, but I have seen it sometimes do the IME thing that the text you are typing is shown underlined and not sent to the application. Though in mentioning it, I don't recall the exact combination of app and emoji I was trying to find where I saw that happen or know precisely enough why it would vary in order to reproduce it just now, and maybe that was just a difference between early Insider versions of the emoji keyboard and current operations or something similar that I'm misremembering.

That said, even if it isn't using the IME APIs directly in most cases, it's still useful as a teaching tool/analogy tool/example tool to English speakers of what an IME can be like to use, even if a nice-to-have for an English writer versus a necessary required tool for other languages.
Changing the reality should absolutely change the terminology, though.

Almost nobody writes software where assistive accessibility is both legally required and discriminatory when it is not provided. That's an outrageous statement to make that you should back up with evidence, not just platitudes.

The software developers who write the systems that stabilize airplanes in the sky, track radio emissions from space, monitor the nuclear reactor cores in power plants, and encode raw YUV video into tightly-compressed packets that can be transmitted over the web, all lack access assistance code. Why don't we go ahead and take these horrible people to task for discriminating against people who need to have their damned screens read to them aloud by software?

Seriously, I and almost everyone else on Hacker News have never THOUGHT ONCE about assistive access in our code, and you are a shitty person if you want to call us all discriminators.
I would double check that the company owns anything you create outside of work hours.

At my employer in CA, they don’t claim that. Their only restrictions are that you disclose the nature of any IP you generate on your own time; they will only prevent you from working on it if it conflicts with their business interests or relies on info you could only get working at the company. Which is pretty reasonable imo.

Also, I think those moonlighting clauses are to prevent people from having multiple full time jobs. In practice they won’t care if you work on a prototype for a side project or run a small business, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your regular work.

It'd be interesting to see how they deal with unnamed heads.

git creates them in the background pretty frequently, and expects them to be invisible to user (for example during many rebases or when viewing remote repositories, or when pulling remote changes)

mercurial creates them in response to user action, displays them to user by default, and expects users to care about them.
I haven't read Andrew Roberts's book but picked up and enjoyed an even more recent bio by Adam Zamoyski also titled Napoleon: A Life. It's much less focused on the military details and is framed more like the story of an ambitious Corsican family, centered on its very successful son.
People gloss over things like building a turbine engine as easy - it is not - it's been done, yes, but for these guys to build, qualify, validate and get an engine flying on passenger planes is a HUGE undertaking even ASSUMING this critical piece of tech was perfect.

To also then build the plane? I'm curious to see what their re-entry technology looks like - feels pretty critical path to me.

What are these applications and industries that will be revolutionized? I'm serious - I've heard this will revolutionize hypersonic cars. OK.

The plane concept itself required a closed loop normal rocket engine - so you've got to have that AND the Sabre AND are doing single stage to orbit. I shudder to think of the mass fractions - how does carrying all this extra around make sense just from the physics - do you save that much in terms of LOX?

That case has not yet been decided. There has been no ruling. The only thing SCOTUS did by denying cert was to allow it to proceed to trial.

Robles hasn't really shown that Dominoes failed to provide a _reasonable accommodation_, which is typically the key phrase in the ADA. Depending on the business, making a site accessible can be quite a costly project for quite a small number of customers. Finally, that case is only up for debate due to Dominoes' _physical presence_; Robles is arguing that he's being denied access to the physical stores, which pertains to prior rulings.

Robles claims Dominoes failed to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. Keep in mind that this standard has been created by private industry and _not_ by the government.

Interestingly, if anything is going to get Dominoes, I bet it will be the coupons available only via the web site or app. Anything else they could probably make the case phone/physical options are fine.

We can go into the debate of how much inequality is healthy for a society to encourage innovation and hard work. However in many parts of the world and even U.S. I would say many talented and intelligent people didn't even get the chance to work hard to earn something because the society didn't provide them such a chance. Your personal experience is moving but the reality is many people are rich not because they worked hard and many poor not because they were lazy. Those (extreme) inequalities are a result of injustice. If a society is too unfair, that will surely discourage people to contribute to the society.

Camera, battery, durability. No flashy new features, but they hit a lot of important marks for things I care about improving.

Now if they can just make it smaller next year.

EDIT - I should mention that the UWB radios might be cool once there's a significant feature using it. In terms of future-proofness, it's a handy thing to get even if it didn't launch with any important functionality.

The existing values for "display" have long conflated "inside" and "outside" display models, so it can't really be separated now.

But at one point there was a proposal to add two new properties, "display-inside" and "display-outside". And "display" was then redefined as a shorthand which combined both. This have been removed (https://www.w3.org/TR/css-display-3/#changes-wd) with this justification:

Removed display-inside, display-outside, and display-extras longhands, in favor of just making display multi-value. (This was done to impose constraints on what can be combined. Future levels of this specification may relax some or all of those restrictions if they become unnecessary or unwanted.)

It seems this is to restrict combinations with "display:none" and "display:content" and the various "display:table-*".
