Why Diablo's Auction House Went Straight to Hell (2013)
Sky blue, water wet. I have seen this headline written in 1996, 2002, 2006, 2018...
Running the Slack client?
The inline MathJax editor with live-preview is nice, as is proper markdown parsing (you can put code-blocks inside lists! gives side-eye to Bear.app). And it's got a pleasing stylesheet. But I don't really see what this brings to the table to be honest.

It's electron so it doesn't feel native, and it takes over a second to open a nearly-empty document. OS-level key-bindings (Ctrl+A/E etc on Mac) are overridden or broken in weird ways, and some usual typing conventions don't work (double-enter to break out of a code-block). You can't click to move the cursor in a number of situations. The "type @ to insert something" seems weird - markdown by its nature is easy to type. The editor kinda supports tabs but I couldn't figure out how to switch them without the mouse.

All this said, my biggest gripe is that I can't change the font to a monospace font. Yes I'm writing prose, but I want to write in a monospace font. Always. I understand this is a personal preference, and the author lets you change the font but only to a small handful of pre-determined fonts - there is no option to use a custom font. That is just..weird.

This thing shows some promise if it can be made faster and made to support a more ergonomic writing environment. As it is it's just kinda a neat demo with some cool features but an overall unfinished UX.
Fair enough, that's a case of were it messed up because the guy was trying to pay his taxes and made an honest mistake.

But I don't think the whole law is bad because of a couple of mistakes. There should probably be a system to stop seizures from happening over honest mistakes, but the law itself seems like a good idea. We don't get rid of murder laws because sometimes we convict the wrong people, for example.
> So this is more like asking Africa to make the same pro-stability adjustments others have made already.

Notice that all of those countries are highly developed. So its less white countries, and more like countries that have made it pulling up the ladder behind them and telling everyone else that "its for their own good".
Looks like a compact sized pickup truck, to me.

> The system recently passed impact tests, where it prevented a 7,200kg lorry travelling at 32kph from penetrating less than five metres.

How about a 4,500lb (2,000kg) SUV traveling at 65mph (105kph)?

20mph (32kph) is a crawl. Even a slow passenger vehicle can hit that speed within 60ft (18m) or so. I think tests should involve vehicles going at least 40mph (65kph) if they are attempting to present realistic results.
Not open source, but also Actual, a personal budgeting app made by James Long, the author of Prettier.

> This doesn't seem like a good habit for Boeing.

While I like to bang on Boeing for being fucking dumb about 737MAX, the habit of copying an existing well-tested, approved design is something that should NOT be discouraged.

Re-use of existing validated solutions / components leads to faster development cycles and increased agility (financially) . This is achieved by making more critical components COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf - not one-off / custom) and re-usable as self-contained "modules" or "packages".

Reinventing the wheel for reinventing the wheel's sake is in most cases not a good use of resources.

That said, if the original design has issues, my above commentary is invalidated somewhat - you need to modify the design to fix the root cause, which should trigger a fresh round of validation and testing at the original specification levels or greater. And of course, you should always do fully integrated tests, even if all of the components were previously validated and approved. You pretty much always find stuff (maybe only in solution-integrated combination) - I believe that's what happened in this case.
Intel core constantly does this. They play dirty when AMD is consistently kicking their ass
The Zilog z80000 wasn't introduced until 1986, but was pipelined and was in some respects about 6 years ahead of Intel. Apparently they are still used today in embedded application, though there was one moderately successful machine based on them back in the day.
Horde [0] is a really interesting Elixir library for distributed, self-healing state using CRDT

HoAs are no different with their cancerous rentseeking behavior. Here in TX, they can place a lien on your house if you don't pay your dues.
In this case? Because they can then seize your property and make more money. In cases like income tax? Because tax prep companies spend money to ensure congress doesn't put them out of business. Perverse incentives abound.

Anything non-fabric would weigh too much. Many smaller parachutes means many more lines, which would weigh too much.

The rocket equation is cruel.
A good discretionary strategy for these sort of things is to do a long volatility options trade on the day lockups end. Either the market has overestimated the number of shares being sold or has underestimated it. Either way, you make money. Of course ATM options are almost always more expensive if they expire close after the lockup period ends. But even so, in my experience, you can make some money reliably using this signal and a little discretion.
Sell the property at auction, but use the proceeds to pay the tax debt and a fine large enough to cover the cost to the county of administrating the sale. Then send the remainder back to the owner.

This solves the problem without creating (too large of) a perverse incentive for the county government.
I live in London. It's not dense, but has (supposedly) good public transport... tons of busses, taxis, and probably better underground network than most other EU cities.

Uber is still a blessing. Cheaper than cabs, better managed (I can order it anywhere, monitor its progress, don't need to care about payment, ...).

Don't get me wrong, I think the company is pretty shit, but the service is extremely valuable!
Prices are so insane here they make Lake Tahoe (NV side) look rational, and appealing.
Poe’s Law is in effect. I can’t tell if you’re actually serious. A pocket knife carried by the average Joe harms nobody, so prohibiting carrying it is absolutely beyond reason.
You might not be aware of it, but Boeing moved production to Charleston to break the unions here in WA state. Just like they moved corporate HQ to Illinois to dodge taxes. These myopic greedy decisions are finally backfiring on them, and they richly deserve it.

Those incentives can't exist if any improvement in the quality of life must be distributed evenly among 7 billion people before it may be claimed.

It's true that most people are more interested in absolute quality of life than they are in the relative status granted by inequality, but the one implies the other.

You can make a case for less inequality, of course; but now we're quibbling about the price, as it were.

Scroll down to the table and many paragraphs in which they describe when the various scenarios in which the various mitigations are recommended. That wouldn't be needed at all if not having them was always 'the dumbest thing imaginable'.
By that definition you won’t find many non tech companies. What company that’s not super small doesn’t build internal tools and doesn’t try to automate things ? By your definition all car companies are tech companies, so are insurances, banks and pretty much everybody else.
Parachutes were supposed to be easy because they have plenty of heritage and other users. And in spite of the problems they likely still are easier. Any other system would need even more testing.
The market prediction of three hedge funds tracking flights (2018)
It isn't what happened here because that doesn't happen anywhere.

Putting more money into a currency makes it worth more. If a currency is backed by something else, you buy more of it as your currency is bought. That's how pegs work, the currency is an IOU for something else.

Insolvency happens when a financial institution says they have more than they do and someone withdrawals enough to call their bluff. You don't 'break' a currency or financial institution by pumping money into it.
Yeah, missed that you can now fit 64 8-bit entries in a single 512 bit register!

This feels like the kind of case that will be appealed up until the law is struck down.
Steve Ciarcia (Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar) – How it all began
My intended recipient doesn't actually have an iPhone (but I didn't know that at the time). In my contacts I have both their phone number and their email address, and I'm assuming that email is what's associated with their Apple ID.

I normally don't pay much attention to whether a message is being sent out over iMessage or SMS, and less technical folks probably pay even less, so it's a bad situation when those two methods end up going to different people.

That said, I'm actually not sure what the best behavior for iOS would be here - I get that they want to use the "best" transport and send over iMessage rather than SMS if it's available. Ideally there would be some kind of warning if the phone number I have in my contacts doesn't match the one on the device that's going to receive the message, but that seems finicky as well (what if I only have their land-line?).
I'm not arguing that it's a good situation, I'm just saying that's how it is and at least it's not worse. Betting your game isn't on PSVR either?

Have you considered putting it up for sale through itch.io? There are some Quest games on there, Air Brigade for example.
From a quick Googling, the heaviest Mercury capsule launched weighed 3k lbs, while Crew Dragon is 20k lbs dry. That extra mass makes the problem significantly more complicated.

As for later programs like Apollo that are more comparable, I'm not sure. Maybe they were comfortable with heavier systems or worse safety margins. Also, I expect that working out the parachutes for Apollo was not easy.
It’s not a totally fair analogy though.

Designing file systems for newer storage devices is an engineering problem that requires a lot of effort, but not a great amount of new insight.

Designing a new programming language that somehow exposes the concepts you mentioned more transparently while still being actually useful would require major, major breakthroughs and insights in PL design.
Clearly it's not flat-out impossible to have children without a vehicle if millions of people are doing it, by your own stats!

And those stats aren't suitable for this purpose (they're undercounting my millions more), as there are many one parent households, plus many parents who live in a household with others but who don't own cars themselves.
I mean, if no one was surprised the stock price wouldn't have moved a lot when the lockup ended. Clearly most everyone was surprised (including you), otherwise you and everyone else would have shorted Uber or bought some puts before the lockup ended therefore neutralizing any price movement.
Its close to as bad as civil asset forfeiture that the police use just to take whatever they want. In civil asset forfeiture they don't even need a court order to do it, they can just take it if they say they think it was related to a crime. Want it back and you have to sue. No public defender is provided if you choose to sue, meaning that people unable to afford an attorney just have to accept the police taking their possessions / cash.
One of the scariest books I've ever read. Still recommended.
In my experience there has always been a _deep_ culture of mutual respect between industrial aviation players and the NTSB.

Everyone knows that the investigative body is there to help figure out what went wrong and to provide guidance on how to avoid similar mistakes in the future. It’s not about assigning blame, and there’s an understanding that if it were to become about that then the industry would be worse-off as a whole.

(Slightly off-topic, but this is precisely why Tesla’s reaction to the NTSB investigation in their Model X crash was so concerning. Any player that defects here runs the risk of poisoning the process for everyone else.)
>Many people here seem to do so.

And many more are ardent that "I should not build a non-js version of my website just for the >1% of users who disable javascript".

Personally I do not disable javascript because it makes huge portions of the web inaccessible, in weird and frustratingly ambiguous ways. But I used to, and I am the kind of person who would again if it were a remote option.
If I remember correctly, SpaceX totally could have gone for propulsive landing, but opted not to because certification would have been a lot more work.

I would love to see more bollards deployed in Manhattan to protect pedestrians. Every day I see drivers making dangerous moves, running red lights, and intimidating people in crosswalks etc. There's one particular spot right in front of my apartment where I see people run the red light constantly, but the NYPD does nothing. Across the US, pedestrian and cyclist deaths are on the rise[1][2].

I've always thought it might be worth using retractable bollards in busy intersections to protect people from dangerous drivers, or to stop those who simply do not respect pedestrians. Traffic enforcement in NYC seems weak at best, and the NYPD appears to favour drivers over pedestrians and cyclists. Their enforcement activities involve ticketing delivery drivers (who have literally killed nobody ever) instead of keeping dangerous drivers off the roads.

Please stop comparing Tesla with car companies. Tesla is a tech company, like Apple iPhone branch (which outlived, say, Nokia and Ericsson and Siemens). Most valuable part of Tesla is their IP and datasets. And don't forget their supercharger network.

I'm not an HR person but it looks pretty look. I wonder why you came across that pricing model?

It does seem complicated, unless that's something you've researched? Have you tested with the usual "small/medium/large" company offering?
As a Brit, I highly doubt that Ian sincerely believes that vehicle is a "lorry" - having said that, pickup trucks are not common in the UK so he might simply be unfamiliar with them and thought "lorry" was the accepted term.

So build more houses?
And even in your example, the Cheetah can hit 65mph for a whopping 330 feet before risking total exhaustion. Meanwhile Pronghorns, Impala and Antelope can reach 55mph-60mph and maintain it for about half a mile, and vary their speed to increase distance.

So which would you consider faster? The one that can give you a few seconds of effort really quickly; or the one that gives you 90% of that effort but for hours?
SoftBank’s Son Defiant as WeWork Triggers $6.5B Loss

I don't know that it's more "unfair" to the younger generations to not increase property taxes than it would be to the home owners to do so. Why would someone who bought a house for 100k be expected to pay taxes on 2M years later? A lot of these people probably had normal jobs and incomes, they didn't chose for Google/Apple/Facebook to move into town and send the property prices sky high. Yes, they benefit as owners but this rule only takes effect if they don't sell their house and continue to live in it.

The alternative is that we basically force people out of houses they've bought by gouging them with taxes. That seems much more unfair than the alternative.
This is not a very descriptive title, and I almost skipped over what was a really cool article as a result.
> "They were warned. If you ignore the warnings, what else is the county supposed to do?"

But what you quoted:

> "In some cases, that's because county officials were mailing notices to unfinished homes or properties without permanent residents. In others, like Rafaeli's case, the notices were delivered to tenants who failed to pass along the information to their landlord, mistakenly believing that the county would inform the landlord separately."

It appears there are many cases where nothing was ignored. Notification wasn't received.

And that's without considering the perverse incentive where it's in the county's best interest to "accidentally" send notices to the wrong address.
A width change that causes reflow is the worst - especially if it happens on mouseover because at specific window widths a button can "run away" from the pointer, or get into a bistable flickering reflow.

That's why two tests drivers makes sense in the early days and not keeping extended hours.

Companies like https://comma.ai/ are taking a much better approach IMO by keeping it simple by first perfecting lane assist/highway driving + building a driver watching device which alerts them when they stop paying attention for x amount of time. Which Uber should be investing in for their test drivers.

Another important thing is being realistic about expectations, of course 100% paying attention is unrealistic even for normal drivers, accidents will happen regardless. Hitting jaywalkers on a dark multi-lane high speed road is a lot less bad than other possible scenarios and there really hasn't been that many accidents yet.
it diminishes the empathy and care you're willing to provide for others and maybe even worse it puts you into a never-ending rat race that you ultimately can't win, which is the point of most of these quotes. Greed just tends to cause more greed, with no tranquillity in sight.

It's not even a super deep insight or anything but it's still surprising how little attention it gets.

This happens all the time. I have a line of credit and I'll log on, view the current outstanding debt and pay it off in full. Some time later I'll log in again to see that I still owe $0.xx amount which is the interest I had accrued in the time it took the funds to move from one account to another. It sounds like this is the same situation this man faced, and yet he lost a $60,000 investment.
More houses? Not in MY back yard! Building more houses will depress housing prices. Home owners tend to value their equity more than ensuring housing is affordable for others.
Soyuz has a reserve parachute. Also, because Soyuz only has one, large primary chute, you're less likely (by a factor of 3 or 4) to see any failures. And a reliability of 142:143 is not terribly high for a safety-critical system.

No US orbital crew fatalities have ever occurred due to parachute failure, but parachute failure has occurred on at least one of the Apollo missions (Apollo 15). One parachute failure out of 61 parachutes for the US[0] versus one (or two, counting the reserve) parachute failures out of 143 (144) parachutes for Russia/USSR. The statistics here are effectively indistinguishible in any meaningful measure.

The challenge is these are new, pre-operational crewed spaceflight systems being developed from the beginning. New systems ALWAYS have a higher rate of failure for complex things like this, and also because there are not yet actually crew on board, there's a little bit lower level of mission assurance (which I would argue is optimal!). Nothing in particular special about SpaceX or Boeing.

And in many ways, we got lucky that there weren't more parachute-related fatalities. We understand the dynamics significantly better now than in the past.

Influencers Pay Thousands to Get Back into Their Hacked Instagram Accounts
> Sick of round-the-clock work emails and Slack messages? Here’s some hope.

This is exactly why articles about 4-day workweeks, 5-hour workdays, and the idea that productivity is inversely correlated to hours worked are so popular; Many of us are buried under expectations of around-the-clock availability and commitment to our jobs.

One of my employers made an official policy banning vacation statuses in Slack because, in their words, it implied that people were off the hook from responding to Slack messages. I was threatened with demotion for taking a 2-day weekend backpacking vacation out of cell phone range once (not an on call job). My management team just couldn't tolerate the idea that one of their employees was out of their control.

At this point, I'd gladly take strict 8-hour workdays, 5 days a week. These articles about 5-hour days or 32-hour workweeks feel like a pipedream.
of course everyone mostly knows this but for some reason the people making the rankings want a fig leaf of objectivity, so they come up with a weird formula. and then the formula can always be gamed.

In their defense, that wasn't Notepad's original purpose in life, hence it's name.

Microsoft unsuccessfully tried to supplant Notepad and Paint but met harsh resistance because there is a disconnect between what these Apps were originally intended for and how people actually use them day to day.

Snip & Sketch comes really close to replacing Paint for 80% of my needs, but I often use Paint to quickly mockup UI, something you can't easily do in S&S yet.

There's nothing from Microsoft that even approaches replacing Notepad for me. Notepad++ is my preferred editor but even it is overkill.
