"They could be testing this for any number of reasons."

Are they testing how to get maximum outrage from HN!? I kid.

I think the suspicious attitude is justified given Google's recent history; and it's better to make our opinion clear before Google does something stupid.

As for "a month ago", some other people in the thread also see this, so I guess Google is still "testing" it.
That's true, of course. However, every source I can find says that the company was founded in Shanghai, but ended up being more successful in the American than the Chinese market, and opened up offices in California. Most of the engineers are supposedly in Shanghai, though. One more detail is that the founders appear to have worked in Silicon Valley before founding the company.

Whether any of this makes any difference, as far as US law goes, I don't know.

That’s already too complicated. My phone uploads photos to the cloud (which my computer is hooked up to) automatically. Needing to attach a piece of hardware to my camera to achieve the same thing is arcane and absurd.

While current DSLRs typically have baked-in WiFi functionality, the idea of having them auto upload "to the cloud" seems a bit absurd to me. You're looking at ~50 MB per image if you're shooting raw. While you may want to auto backup the images to a nearby device it's unlikely you'd want to wait for that much data to be sent out over the internet.
> There are very few things as bad as real estate negotiations

I can think of, literally, thousands of things. And I've negotiated commercial and residential real estate several times.

Child sex abuse, human trafficking, the death of a spouse, or child, or parent, genocide, murder, negotiating a contract when you are a startup and your customer is a Forbes 50 company that insists on Net 120 terms, war crimes, wage theft by multinationals, cannibalism, pointless Hollywood reboots, HackerNews posters bragging about how they never enable JavaScript in their browser, etc, etc.

Is it really necessary to exaggerate to the point of being ridiculous to make the simple point that there's room for improvement in commercial real estate negotiation in the US?

It's not just this post: Americans seem to need to turn everything into "worst ever" or "best ever".

The most important part of psychedelic therapy—as opposed to a psychedelic experience—is unsurprisingly the therapy.

In the studies at Johns Hopkins and other places, the protocol always includes a number of therapy sessions before the trip, and an often smaller of sessions number afterward to foster integration of the experience. In addition, there are two therapists present during the trip itself to monitor and assist the patient as needed.

That therapy plays a big role in the positive outcomes. I think these substances should be legalized for recreational use, but it’s important to decide why you want to take one of them and frame the experience properly. I can imagine an iteration of the story where psychedelics are fully legal, with the result being that those competing businesses seeking cash cows don’t make as much sense. In that world, psychedelic therapy is just another form of therapy, and doesn’t also serve as the gatekeeper of an otherwise-unavailable controlled substance.

I don't think it's fair to characterise this as some sort of 'trick'.

A high quality item, regardless of cost, is generally going to be far more useful and long-lasting, than a low quality item in a different category which costs more.

I would rather own, or buy myself, a $45 scarf than a $55 coat, assuming that the scarf is actually better in its' class and not just a scam (like some designer nonsense with a label on it).

Canon and Nikon and I'm sure others already have a WiFi adapter you can plug into the SD card slot that does exactly this.

You're probably thinking of an EyeFi, which is a third party product. First party WiFi support is typically either baked into the body itself or a dongle you'd clip to the side of the camera or flash shoe.
> have "safety of environment" as a clear and unambiguous incentive

That's non-trivial to do in practice.

It's already incentivized, via inspections and fines. What you're presumably talking about is prioritizing it above other incentives.

Which gets into how much risk is acceptable and how much risk mitigation is reasonable to pay for. Hint: never enough that risk approaches zero.

I absolutely think fines (and especially inspections, or likelihood of catching violations) should be increased, but the world economy is still transitioning off oil.

It's easy to forget that we can absolutely put such a premium on risk that energy prices spike, that suppresses downstream consumers and economic activity, that causes worse outcomes.

IMHO, accelerating the shift to clean renewables, while simultaneously continuing to raise fines and regulation on oil pipelines as the actual energy mix shifts is the optimal choice.

To your latter point, industries with this sort of externalized risk should be required to issue real stock to stakeholders (Such as the neighbors of the pipeline, the downstream water users, upstream water users as well, groundwater users, etc)

You're assuming that no innovation is possible in this space.

Besides, "every node" is not true of Bitcoin even today. Neither my desktop nor my mobile Bitcoin client save a complete history. Miners need history, but maybe there can be a different model of mining. I'm not a customer at all the credit card companies out there, only one. Maybe I could also be only be a customer of only one fixed "miner" in some future system? Possibly a new but fixed one I can pick per transaction, rather than today's essentially random assignment of who gets my fees? Yes, this wouldn't be Bitcoin anymore, but as I wrote above, I don't think Bitcoin is what we need anyway.

I have relatives who live very close to this pipe spill. That these pipes leak was well known to everyone locally back when it was laid.
Forcing companies to internalize the environmental costs of spills and leaks would go a loooong way toward achieving the second goal.

I think that just expressing our opinion, and doing what little we can will have an effect in the long run. Google is far from invincible - it still needs to answer to shareholders, and has (or will get) competitors and legal scrutiny.

Eventually, like previous major computer companies, its monopoly will weaken, and it will have to play a bit nicer.

> I just explicitly affirmed at least two of four "racist, misogynistic, bigoted" statements of fact.

Well, that's how you're characterizing your actions, okay. But just so you know. Your employer is free to retain you, or fire you, on the basis of opinions that you express in public or private. Wicked tyranny, that freedom of association.

> Presumably now you'd like to...

Well, that's certainly a chain of assumptions you've made. Why would you, say, "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize" when you're out in public? Oh right, that's a quote from HN guidelines. In any case, you're not changing minds by acting this way.

> because this is how you tyrants prefer we genuflect to avoid guilt by association.

Oh, no, the tyranny of public criticism! Hey did you know something? You're free to disagree with me. And criticize me. In public! And others are free to agree with me, or you, or even both of us, even if that makes zero sense!

> This is profoundly idiotic, but I again refrain from arguing because my audience has proven itself very unthinking and vicious

A personal attack, how droll.

> I hope you're not an American,

I am! And as an American I've got the freedom of association -- that means that I'm not legally obligated to verbally support or denounce anybody; nor is it unlawful for me to verbally support or denounce anybody! Funny thing about freedoms; we've all got 'em and it doesn't mean we need to agree on a damned thing.

Who said C, Vim, IRC, and command-line interfaces were simple? They're visually minimalistic, out of necessity originally, but behind the spartan UI (which is appealing to many people), there is enormous complexity in all of those things. No one has ever called Vim simple.

The article never addresses the "anti-intellectualism" point in its title. It's absurd to think that these products--with enormous learning curves, few visual aids, and powerful-but-unintuitive features--represent anti-intellectualism. If anything it's the opposite.

The cost of crypto transactions has always been known, it just used to be paid for by the userbase as a whole when the block reward was more substantial, whereas right now the user pays for their own transactions.

I actually think the Lightning network is a semi-viable solution, it essentially overlays a "credits" system onto the original network that's especially appropriate for micro-transactions.

Fourier series and plasticity are very broad fields. They're almost top-level classifications in the MSC subject index. Remak's article mentions topics that are much more specific. Although to the uninitiated it may sound just as obscure, saying someone worked on complex multiplication fields tells a mathematician much more than saying they worked on Fourier series.

Hmm, I paid $50 for one (Canon DSLR, which is one of the most common). It fits in the hot shoe and is 70mmx50mmx30mm. I don't consider that extremely bulky (I'm sure there are smaller ones that cost a bit more).
This one will probably take longer to reissue because it is both underground and in a sensitive natural area
wasm is only a new phenomenon and those APIs were designed without wasm in mind. Note that wasm is also slower and thus more resource (battery) consuming than a native C++ implementation. Also, Chrome is already adding audioworklets to WebAudio so it will become customizeable. Last but not least, browsers are at least a central place that can be patched. Compare this to a possible future where vulnerable wasm libraries are being used in web apps, allowing third parties to run cross site wasm based exploits. Websites can't even switch off sms based 2fA, would you expect them to keep their wasm libraries up to date?

>That isn't practical. The PEP process is already exhausting and we aim to solicit feedback before the PEP is decided. By the time a beta is out, we're already in feature freeze and it is somewhat late in the game.

Isn't it the case tho, that a PEP is usually just a document + discussion? I've seen someone having a PoC sometimes, but iirc it's not often readily available for use.

Unless a feature is available to try (in alpha, beta, whatever), people can't really evaluate its ergonomics and how it affects or integrates with their use cases.

I know that at least a few languages, including Go and Rust, don't commit to a feature after the relevant proposal is accepted, but have version you can try, that they might change and/or revoke.

As someone in the Python community often says, "there must be a better way"!

Maybe a PEP could include the stage where there is something like a "from __pep_proposals__ import new_feature".

This might slow down the PEP rate (if every new candidate feature needs a trial implementation), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Or it could just be required for larger changes to the language.
