When I say "preview" I also include WYSIWYG style.
IIRC (this is old and might have been wrong in the first place) iOS randomizes when it’s searching for networks but not when it’s connected to one.
Which contemporary examples (i.e. within the last 50 years) are you referring to? Journalists have been threatened with imprisonment for protecting sources from government subpoena. But the sanction is for refusing a court order, not because of the publication content.

And in any case, a publisher is different than a utility or a platform. Social media users are already punished for publishing illegal content (libel, copyright violations, etc). How does making Facebook a "utility" change that?
I think most people know how good financial aid can be, but they are realistic about how good financial aid is in practice.

Early 90's, I had just left the military and was thus able to apply for financial aid without recording my parents' income. So I was able to claim having made $15k the year before. I also accurately reported my savings. My total non-loan financial aid package consisted of $500/year of some state matching fund. I was also expected to contribute 100% of my savings in year one. I was told I had made too much money for a Pell grant. Something which remained true the next year when my income totaled $8k.

So in 2.5 years of college after the military, I managed to deplete my 4 years of aggressive savings and take on $15k in debt, over the GI Bill.

All of this is anecdotal, but as I prepare for my son to go to college next year, I have no realistic hope of him getting a cent. $200k for four years at Rice seems reckless.
Value is decided by the market. If Orion is leaving due to monetary reasons then it would seem that Orion has already been made aware of an opportunity which places a higher value on their work.

In this example, there are two markets to consider; RapidData and everyone else.

We know that Orion is worth more to everyone else, but that's no guarantee that they're worth 180% of their current pay. RapidData may be willing to pay out more in the short-term because of the opportunity cost associated with replacing Orion and keeping the business running in the interim.

So, I'd say it's mostly #2.

In practice though, if you wanted to leave before the raise; then you'll probably still want to leave after. The only difference being, that now your company is actively making sure they're not caught in this situation again. You will be judged more harshly and in the event that 180% does exceed your "everyone else" market value, you will eventually be let go or made to quit.
Why I'm not exited when I read about new makerspaces established at schools
Context: UFC Que Choisir is the biggest association for consumer protection in France.

They recently raised complaint that the Joy-Con of the Nintendo Switch where prone to early failure and that, when contacting Nintendo about defective Joy-Con, Nintendo would only propose a new one for 45€ or send the old one back for 15€.

This might be a violation of the current EU regulation forcing manufacturer and reseller to repair or change defective product for free for two year after the product was sold.

The association also argue that the new Switch Lite presenting the same issue despite being a new product show that Nintendo is unwilling to fix their product and is planned obsolescence (which is illegal in France).

I've seen that happen (on a 4-lane hwy): a drunk who apparently tried to jump under a bus, but reacted so late he nearly missed it; as it were, he stumbled into the side (and rebounded to the wayside). Quite improbable, yet there we were.

reddit has already a "spam level" slider. They should allow subreddits to turn off spam filtering completely - although of course it doesnt make sense. But if they want to be classified as a simple carrier they would have to .
Dutch guy here. Yes I was bullied in primary school and secondary school but not physical. It was just because I wasn't wearing the "right" shoes, etc.

I couldn't disagree harder. I'd go into detail, but a) I'm at work, and b) the fact that we disagree is evidence that there _is_ ambiguity.

With the layoffs, the quarterly earnings, and now this, it sounds like Uber’s having a bit of a tough time. Sentiment about the viability of Uber long term is quite negative.

Can anybody at Uber talk about what the morale and culture is like right now? I’ve received a job offer and I’m struggling to reconcile what I’m observing externally with what I’m hearing from the small set of people I’ve spoken to.

They expanded quickly but haven't reached profitability. Raising prices/shuting down growth still wouldn't be enough to reach that point.

If Lyft died and could raise prices perhaps as it stands now they are not worth billions because of debt/losses.

There is a mistake right there! This should read

Or, use Maybe/Option and have as many levels of nonexistence as you want.

Option[Option[Option[T]]]

Not that it would necessarily be very useful, but choosing 2 values of nonexistence is very arbitrary.

Usually zero or one level of nonexistence is enough.
Does anyone have a theory on what the "advertisers and trackers" want a MAC address for? If they're using it for anything load bearing, it seems like there is an interesting CCC talk lurking here for anyone who wants to visit that airport with a few hundred dollars worth of devices and stuff a few tens of million spoofed MAC addresses into the system.

I wonder if lockup agreements will ever be made illegal.

I doubt it, since they’re primarily there to ensure the original investors get an ROI, but they sure seem to be an overall negative incentive for the general public / retail traders to purchase stock with lockup agreements, given the earliest they can buy is right when the IPO pops.
Those bills both appear to be free petitions submitted by constituents that have been merely forwarded by their representatives. Notably they both come from small towns far away from Boston whose opinions on "jaywalking" should probably be disregarded.

You can delete your data fairly easily from their website. Takes about 30 seconds. Of course this assumes your data hasn't been leaked elsewhere, and that they are compliant.
alright, i dont want to keep you from work, but i agree they should be able to turn off spam filtering, even though it makes little sense. And they should be held liable if a court can prove that their spam filter is biased in some illegal way
Oh I see, thanks, no wonder I couldn't find anything on Winprog. Is it private? Can I join?
But it is a somewhat homogeneous region with similar laws, as supported by that Wikipedia article: in general you can cross roads anywhere unless it's a motorway or you are within 100 meters of a designated crossing (any closer and the laws diverge on what's acceptable). That's just how we talk about the US treating things a certain way despite the different states having varying laws with countless exceptions and special cases.
What's their cash on hand position, I believe I saw that there's 13B, after adding 8B in the IPO, that seems like a ton of cash on hand for a business that isn't showing any signs of turning of profit.

Could they not just without any further cash infusion continue to lose similar amounts for the next three years and be cash solvent. Does that then not give a big incentive to figure out how to become profitable in the near term?

One way or another, it’s widespread everywhere.

The exact degree may vary, but it happens everywhere.

Usually the laws and regulators allow prescribers tons of discretion, which is often subject to abuse that costs time/money/outcomes to somebody else.
Not only do you need a current browser, you also need an operating system version that supports variable fonts.

For example, even if you have Firefox 70 on a Mac, the operating system version needs to be High Sierra (macOS 10.13) or newer.
Yes, it can help, but do you think public school can provide its own 'cult'?
Yes, you can, by outsourcing it to someone or scaling up your team of one as others have mentioned. I am currently in the process of rolling out a service that does this. Hit me up if you are still keen.

A lot of these features are available in the Sencha ExtJs Grid (both for desktop apps and mobile).

Sencha ExtJs is a paid front-end JS framework, which I find extremely comprehensive. I have worked on this framework quite extensively and find these features missing even in most, if not all, modern JS frameworks.

Examples:

The interesting thing I'm experiencing now after having a similar experience to you is that now the same colleges have begun emailing me with graduate school offers. I've begun to identify which schools use which contracting company to send emails and mail by the style of these messages.

I enjoyed this sentence and will use it often: "You sound extremely junior by attacking PHP every second chance."
Why would there be? It tends to be the opposite; if you're coming back to school in your 30s, you're presumed to have some savings, and likely interested in school to increase your earnings.

That said, SF residents can get a Associates from City College for free. Elsewhere I know less about it, but there community colleges are still very cheap in some places.

I don't think they're particularly hard arguments to make.

Turing is the easiest:

What is a computer? What isn't a computer? If you can't answer that question, you don't have a computer. The Church-Turing thesis is the invention of the computer.

Lovelace and Hopper are notable for paradigm shifts (as much as I hate the term) in what computers "are".

Lovelace invented computers because the essence of the computer is the ability to perform computations, not just calculations:

Lovelace published the first algorithm (Babbage obviously had to have written a few to design an analytical engine) and was the first person imagine computers as more than just a flexible calculator. In particular, she was the first to use a variable to represent anything beyond the intermediate/final step of a calculation: she was computing the 7th term of a series, so she used series/loop indices.

Hopper invented computers because a general-purpose computer is a computation machine with a human-friendly interface. A "smart" lightbulb that runs embedded linux isn't a "computer" (until modified).

Grace Hopper conceived of abstract programming in human-aligned languages, and invented A-0, the first "compiler" (her term; now we'd call it a linker). Before Hopper, computers were only ever programmed directly in machine code; every step of a computer program was a specific operation. Before A-0, we just had computation machines, but no human-centered interface. After A-0, we had computers.

Zuse would be a perfectly excellent 5th name, as would Church, Godel, Herbrand, Bohm, and many others.
Well, once you go to low interest rates, you're effectively stuck with them.

See Japan. Low interest rates make it easy to take on more national debt, so you do. If Japan's bond yields would rise even to 2% (a still ridiculously low yield) then 100% of their tax revenue would go to debt service. They'd have nothing left to spend on actually running the government.

"Stubborn" Germany refusing to take on ludicrous levels of debt they don't need to "grow Europe out of their troubles" is the only thing keeping Europe out of this situation.

Our trillion+ yearly deficits can't go on much longer until we end up in a similar situation.

It's not like the central banks can just realize their mistakes and get out of low interest rates.

As a side note -- I'm very interested in how Japanese banks have survived this. US banks usually make more money the higher the interest rate is. European banks have REALLY struggled in the low interest environment, and US banks were looking pretty bad even when interest rates were only at 1%. Does anyone know how the Japanese banks are surviving?
Like the remote development addons, this is completely proprietary and designed to push people to Azure.
The limiting factor for ITER was the strength of magnetic fields that could be attained from the superconductors available at the time. The promise for ARC/SPARC at MIT is that the field strengths available have recently doubled, and performance goes something like the 4th power of field strength, so a smaller reactor can reach the conditions that only a larger one could have reached when ITER was designed.

These smaller reactors should be cheaper and faster to build.
Alerting a human (who wasn't even in the driver's feedback loop at the time) 1.3 seconds before the collision? That is equal to "hey, look at this unavoidable crash that we're driving into!"

Once the cat's out of the bag, it will be an arms race between biological attack and biological defense. Rich people and politically connected people will be vaccinated against the murder-viruses. And those are the only ones worth spending more than a brick of ammo to kill.

It's far easier to take an already-deadly disease that kills indiscriminately, modify it to have shorter incubation time and higher kill rate (so it burns itself out before going pandemic) and shoot it at a target on a spitball or with a Bulgarian umbrella, while they're on their way to meet with everyone else you want to kill.

Either way, that's still leaving biological evidence all over the crime scene, and has the potential to kill a lot of people you weren't specifically targeting. So the preferred methods of assassination will likely continue to be poisons, firearms, and explosives for a long time to come.

Is anyone really surprised? Years before the IPO we knew they were not profitable in the least. We knew VC cash was subsidizing rides. We knew that their future was purely dependent on a self-driving car fleet where they could ditch drivers (and their pay) completely. This on top of a horrible culture with pretty lousy ethics and morality.

This is how this was supposed to play out and everyone here (on HN) knew that. The only people suckered were public investors during the IPO roadshow.
On the contrary, adding binary would have been terrible. JSON is great because it is simple!

Nice, will check this out. I'm also currently developing a clockface for Fitbit OS but I did not go with Typescript but Ive been wanting an excuse to start using it so I might rewrite what I've done in Typescript.

I also just want to say that the whole developer experience working on a Fitbit OS clockface or app has been very nice and easy. Kudos to the Fitbit developers!
From Q3 results, it sounded like the company was profitable just on ride-sharing itself and was losing a ton of money on eats + cargo + autonomous vehicles R&D.

I wonder what a fair valuation would be for just the ride-sharing business if they were to spin off / shut down every other part of their business and essentially become Lyft.
Direct listings don't have lockups. Spotify and Slack have used this method to go public in recent years.

The stock prices of those two companies don't seem to have benefited much from the immediate liquidity though.
The problem with constantly shuffling MAC addresses is that they are used for device authentication on corporate/school/university networks. Does anyone know of a utility that generates MAC addresses as a hash of the SSID?
I understand your point, and I agree that it's easier to keep your television viewing habits hidden from your internet viewing habits, for obvious reasons, but I'm just pointing out that there are still ways to aggregate data to the point where they are able to determine, with significant accuracy, which ads are the most effective based on demographics, locality, cross-referencing social media, web traffic, consumer surveys, department store sales information, and probably tons of other details.
I don't think people would complain about a decent text editor vs. adding yet another text-like editor. I appreciate the new calculator...

notepad++ is one of the first apps I install on a new windows machine. VS Code is great for when you move into coding tasks but not as snappy and quick as notepad++ for texty things
I believe the phrase is a high "Personal Risk Tolerance"
If you want to keep your RAM usage light, go ahead and use vim. Other people choosing to use different apps is consuming their computer's memory, not yours.

I'm also not sure you can just assume that an Electron app will be a giant memory hog compared to the alternatives. I just decided to go and give it a quick look-see. Right now I've got both vscode and IntelliJ IDEA open at the same time. (For my purposes, they're at feature parity, except that I don't like vscode's Java plugin). IntelliJ, a non-Electron cross-platform app, is consuming 3 GB of RAM. vscode, an Electron app, is using 50MB. That's 1/60 as much. Meld, a GTK+ app that doesn't do nearly as much, consumes 100MB just sitting idle, which is twice as much as the Electron app does.

I'll come out and say it: I suspect that, deep down, this argument is not really about memory or anything like that. It's really a proxy war about JavaScript. Which, I get it, I hate JavaScript too. I resolutely avoid working on things with UIs at work, probably to the detriment of my career, just to avoid programming in JavaScript. But I've also got to concede that Electron has accomplished something that everyone else has consistently failed at: Delivering decent cross-platform GUI applications. And it's pointless to complain about people using X technology when it has no truly viable alternatives.
"The most glaring mistakes were software-related. Uber’s system was not equipped to identify or deal with pedestrians walking outside of a crosswalk. Uber engineers also appear to have been so worried about false alarms that they built in an automated one-second delay between a crash detection and action. And Uber chose to turn off a built-in Volvo braking system that the automaker later concluded might have dramatically reduced the speed at which the car hit Herzberg, or perhaps avoided the collision altogether."

Wow, dangerously and maliciously negligent engineering. Another reason Uber is a company to be wary and critical of. It's hard to say whether their rushed and corner-cutting approach has set back SDCs, but those engineers should change their ways now that a death is on their conscience.
As a Typora user, I'm glad that this editor includes a table of contents area in its sidebar. I had to dig into the docs to find that it does indeed have this. ToC navigation helps me so much for being/getting organized.
Since MAC address ranges are allocated to certain manufacturers, it is a simple way to track your device type. Additionally, all MAC addresses are unique so it is the easiest way to match/combine your data from different trackers.
I see what you're getting at, but there is a certain amount of cognitive dissonance at play here. If a person driving a car strikes a pedestrian, there may be a grey area as to who was at fault. What was the speed of the driver? Was the driver impaired? Was the pedestrian impaired? Was the driver's view obstructed, was the pedestrians view obstructed? Etc, etc.

But when a system that is designed to autonomously detect infinite, non-discrete, random variables fails prevent a collision/incident, you have a failure. There is no grey area, Y or N. The hope is, the system is smart enough to determine exactly 'why' there was a failure (i.e. the system recognizes the input, a pedestrian in this case, but was not able to prevent collision due to the constraints of physics, or without a nominal increase for concurrent accidents). Still a failure, albeit a failure with a greater snapshot of heuristics and causality.
Should they also be limiting it to elderly people? Or people who aren't overly buff? Maybe all passengers who ride after 8pm should be required to take a martial arts class?

The point I'm trying to get at is, if it's not safe for women, it's not safe for many other classes of people as well.
Have you posted/upvoted issues regarding these path problems? If so can you link to some?
