>I would always mark things up a bit more than what I actually wanted to get for it just so I had room to haggle the price down a bit.

I always thought that was kind of the standard way of selling things in an informal situation. I just assume everyone's going to haggle or barter so might as well just do it that way. I get the price I wanted, they feel like they got a deal and everyone's happy.

On an aside, my grandma came from travellers. She was probably the best haggler i've seen. She managed to haggle in Sears and places like that successfully. She had this story about being a poor old Scottish pensioner. They also drove across Canada years and years ago with some of her relatives and would set up a fortune telling booth where they stopped. Her sister would case the people waiting asking about their lives, then my grandma would 'tell their fortune'.
I honestly don't give a damn if my phone checks it's location occasionally, I don't think anyone does. What they care about is whether that data is logged and shared externally. Does Apple get this data? If not then to me this is a non-story.

It sounds to me like that's exactly the case.

China already de-facto does this in almost every market, so there's nothing new here, really.

It'd be nice to have WTO rules actually followed, but I don't think it will be this way.

The next generation of most developed nations will lean more left, and in the US vote Democrat for reasons entirely unrelated to birthright.

Simply put the boomers are currently the retirement generation, as they age out of the system, the system will skew less unfairly to the right. (Older voters naturally lean a little right despite most parties of the right having abandoned small c conservatism).

"Code should be primarily written for humans to read. Only in rare cases should the code be primarily written for the machine in mind"

In other words, don't doo premature optimization. Write the code so that it's readable, except on the chance occurrence where you need to eke out more performance.

The bigger issue is that if you want any app to get your location on iOS, you also consent to sending your location to Apple, and there is no way to turn this off.
> I strongly agree. Web developers and app designers should work to build fast, performant web sites that use bandwidth carefully because that's good for end users.

They should, but they didn't. Before AMP most of the web was unusable on slower Android phones and frontenders just laughed at you and told you to drop 800$ on an iPhone if you want to see their pages. Is it a surprise that Google shoved a technology to fix web on their platform down developers throats?

Nothing else before AMP helped. Why do you think those developers will suddenly wake up and start building lightweight web pages now? Instead of ad bloated, video playing monstrosities?

Web developers were slothful. This is how purgatory looks like. ;)

If you're writing a lot of boilerplate in Go, you're either doing it wrong or chose it for something wildly out of its wheelhouse (i.e., numeric computing).

If you're writing a lot of boilerplate in Java, you're either doing it wrong, chose it for something wildly out of its wheelhouse, or you choose frameworks or libraries that have either forced or afforded high boiler-plate code.

The latter is probably the major difference that is what people are feeling. On paper Go and Java are virtually the same language, but just a few differences in the spec and a bit of focus by the developer community means that Go just generally has less annotations, external XML files for this, weird build systems, and a whole bunch of other frippery.

Although I do think that it's easy to underestimate how much cleaner it turns out to be to do interfaces the way Go does rather than Java. It seems like such a small change, but it has a big effect on how much OO boilerplate you need. You don't have to guess what interfaces someone may someday need and write them all out in advance.

And, I mean, in both languages, let's not underestimate the amount of "doing it wrong". There's a lot of us whose exposure to Java is being on the receiving end of a pile of Java code that is not written with maximal skill and precision. That's not really Java's fault. (To the extent it is, it is not uniquely so; I can tell that story about a lot of languages.)
What if the IDE did not traverse a specific file during the global search and replace?

Are you relying on a correct and comprehensive project/workspace setup within the IDE?
It is not Java. It is how people over engineer enterprise applications.

- Annotations are overused.

- Design patterns are overused.

- Too many layers, too many abstractions.

- Using properties where a constants would be enough.

- Using concurrency when you don't need it.

Probably a cultural problem more than a technical.
I strongly disagree.

Companies make choices of who they partner with based on PR all of the time. GitHub isn't immune to this. I don't want to support companies partnering with organizations I don't like, whether it's ICE or e.g. Nazis or ISIS.
> just to browse the web.

I must be crazy because i never had a catastrophic issue with an iphone 8 - with an adblocker. If ads are the problem, well guess who is serving those ads.

AMP doesn't even scale anyway - it will bloat like HTML pages bloat over time, because web ppl have a bad habit of only adding things to sites, not removing. What happens then? We invent Amp-html2 to fix amp? AMP is a very-ill-thought bandaid to a culture problem that can be solved with simple nudges (have people forgotten what seismic changes happen to the web every time google rolls out a new SEO algorithm?). Amp s probably the silliest tech idea of the decade.
Apples to oranges.

King was fighting against non technical, publicly understood, explicit interpretations of laws carried out by local/state police.

Snowden was/is fighting against secret interpretations of laws dealing with highly technical subject matter carried out by secret police seeking national security on a global scale.

Moreover, remember that as soon as King spoke out against the national security state in his Beyond Vietnam speech, a great many of his supporters abandoned him and the secret police drastically ramped up their campaign to neutralize him; he was assassinated exactly 1 year later.
You're just incentivizing rich people to put all their assets in holdings companies and then giving their children ownership before they die. I wouldn't be surprised if this is how its done today.
If ICE goes off and deploys their own on-prem GitLab, or goes to sourcehut or something, what moral difference does it make?
Right, but at the same time selling arms to Saudi Arabia has been heavily criticized for example, even though that’s supposed to be just sales doing its own thing.
I’ve switched to Duck Duck Gonon my iPhone specifically to avoid AMP links.

And you know what? It’s not half bad.
I find it a bit disingenuous to call song lyrics Genius' "content." If anything the content here belongs to the artists who actually wrote these songs, not some website that puts a text version of songs other people wrote on the internet.

Also likely indefensible from any kind of legal standpoint as Genius' can't possibly claim any kind of copyright on song lyrics unless they've licensed these lyrics from their original authors.
You can still try Qwant (pretty good in my experience), Bing or Startpage (which uses Google in the back - but I never had any trouble with AMP when using it). It's not like there is no choice. And of course, there should be no reason to support Chrome either, Firefox is a great alternative.

EDIT: interesting, never thought such a comment would get a downvote... Google brigade?
Expecting a company to discontinue supporting another entity because you disagree with their policies is not a good mindset.

You have to consider the repercussions of bowing down to this way of thinking. Think about how many people would say Planned Parenthood is doing things worse than ICE. Would you want companies that support Planned Parenthood to stop because they offer a politically controversial service?
It really says something about the iOS App Store that I literally put in "craigslist" as a search term and this app doesn't appear at all in the results.
> Gizmodo first reported, the warehouse scored a 15.2 on its OSHA Incident Rate, which compares the number of serious injuries to the number of total hours worked among all employees at a given worksite.
That figure is five times greater than the national average for all workers, and substantially more than rates found in other dangerous workplaces, such as coal mines and sawmills. The average OSHA Rate for general warehouse workers is 5.2, or roughly a third of the injury frequency at the Staten Island fulfillment center.

I keep forgetting why I cancelled my amazon account but then I’m reminded
Hello HN! In June 2018, I unveiled a fictional podcast called The Program on HackerNews [1]. You can think of The Program as a historical podcast set in a future in which Money, State, and God became fused into a single entity. Each episode is a self-contained story focusing on ordinary people inhabiting this extraordinary world. And for them, it is not this future that is terrifying - it is our present.

The remarkable reception I’ve received on HackerNews (one person called the show "the best 3 hours of entertainment and critical thinking [he has had] in a long time") motivated me to invest even more time and energy into The Program, a labour of love for me and everyone else involved. So I have made ten episodes in total and officially launched the show two weeks ago.

Five days after the release, The Program has been featured on Apple Podcasts' New & Noteworthy list in Canada. Less than 48 hours later, it topped the Canadian Fiction chart, beating out heavyweights such as Welcome to Night Vale and Gimlet’s newest fiction offering.

This auspicious start owes a lot to the feedback I’ve received here (thanks to everyone who completed the survey back then!) and the general intellectual stimulation this website provides. There are full episodes that have been inspired wholly by articles HackerNews’ readers shared and discussions they provoked - in fact, some upcoming stories incorporate comments from the threads almost verbatim [2] [3]. So I wanted to share the show with you and let you decide if I’m right to believe you’ll find it interesting. You can find the first six episodes at https://programaudioseries.com or simply search for “the program audio series” (full title) in your podcast app.

Thank you all for making HN such a precious place! If you have comments or feedback, feel free to share them here so we can continue the conversation.

Which one are you talking about? The J-20 or FC-31?

The J-20 has appeared (and flied and demonstrated its weapon bay) on multiple public air shows where foreign medias were invited. I believe they also have a few squadrons in service already.
But imprisoning people for extended periods of time in unsanitary conditions, without a fair trial[1] and entrapping legally-resident students into violating their visa conditions by setting up a fake university[2] is not a legitimate nor ethical method of immigration enforcement. Being against ICE and their actions is not the same as being against the concept of immigration enforcement.

I’m curious about the outcome of this prelude to the US elections and whether problems will crop up.

It seems banning political ads on its properties will have a disproportionate effect on small parties and favor incumbents.
Sure, I visit non-AMP sites all the time, and here's what happens:

Reader mode comes up and shuts everything else down. I have it on by default, it's great. It blows AMP the hell out of the water and it's the only thing that makes the "unwashed" web (ie. anything that matches common search terms) tolerable.
Ask HN: When will drone deliveries become a reality?
It feels like I've been hearing "drone deliveries are right around the corner" for the past several years. Similar to "fully self-driving cars by 2020", this seems like corporate hypespeak with no basis in reality.

As an amateur drone pilot, I would expect wind gusts/inclement weather to present a major challenge to the small drones being tested by Amazon Prime Air and similar operations.

Does anyone here have reason to believe that normal consumers will be able to order an Amazon package delivered by drone within the next 5 years?
I agree. The banality of the way the company handles its relations with such a grotesque organization is pretty chilling.
Getting an exponential speedup on simulating quantum-mechanical systems (protein folding/binding, material design) is the killer app of quantum computing. Nobody is funding quantum computers because they want to break public-key crypto; that's just a somewhat unfortunate (though interesting) side-effect bringing a bunch of costs with cryptographic R&D plus transitioning systems to post-quantum crypto.

Quantum computing is not expected to have large impacts on machine learning at this time after Ewin Tang's paper. There's an especially large amount of fluff in this area, though.

Good overview of Flyte found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdUJGSP1h9U
It does appear to be quite similar, though it has native k8s integration and a central web-based UI for monitoring jobs. Flyte asks the user to turn on caching. I like that Metaflow does that for you by default.

Tell HN: Netlify is now charging for collaborators on existing sites
I love Netlify and would usually recommend it to anyone looking for a static site host, but I was just charged $90 for 6 collaborators across a number of old community sites that I helped to set up (and therefore "own") on Netlify.

If you have collaborators on any of your sites, you should have received an email around November 7 about the billing changes. I didn't manage to act on the email.

The charge for extra collaborators was apparently implemented in April, but I had the mistaken impression that my sites might have been grandfathered in or something, since I didn't receive any communication that I would be charged until November.

If you have collaborators on your old sites and don't want to get bill shock, you should consider removing them.
Are western junipers not suited for making gin?
This works for me most of the time. I use a program to generate the build.gradle, and then that file builds my project through my IDE. It’s meta all the way down.
It might be sound strategy for an endowment to give up upside in the most raging of bull markets that we’ve ever seen in exchange for lower drawdown in down markets. A low beta portfolio underperformed (by definition) in 2009-2019.

I’m a staunch proponent of passive index investing so I suspect we largely agree on philosophy, but the mere fact that someone underperformed in the somewhat historically anomalous market we’ve enjoyed for the last decade is not conclusive that they clowned it, IMO. If they outperformed 2005-2008 or outperform in the next bear market, that would be evidence again full clown performance.
People still read the news (propaganda machine)?
I sure do love clicking on a search result, clicking the tiny info icon in the top left, and then clicking the real link I wanted.
I think the code also has the option to read and store the address. However I also think it would have other problems. Heaps with less than 4GB size would put a limit on possible hash code values and object alignment requirements would make it even worse, so you never get use out of the full 32 bit hashCode. Then you have generational GCs and if I understand those correctly you could end up with a lot of objects that started out at the same address and if you call hashCode on them before they are moved to a long lived generation you almost guarantee a large amount of hash collisions down the line.

> The earliest of these hymns had been disclosed to seven great rishis (“seers”) in the remote past and transmitted with impeccable accuracy by their descendants. In seven priestly families, each generation had memorized the hymns of their inspired ancestor and passed them on orally to their children. Even today, when their ancient Sanskrit is well-nigh incomprehensible, these hymns are still recited with the precise tonal accents and inflections of the original, together with ritually prescribed gestures of the arms and fingers.

Purely from an information-transmission POV this feat is fascinating. Does anyone know where more information can be found about this?
Precisely! EJB used to be a nightmare (a lot easier now with annotations), but I would see people use them for web apps that had 10 users tops. It was insane.
> I get that many think that Americans are hugely too litigious. But there is the argument that there ought to be compensation for damages.

That point of view is rather unfortunate. Why does it have to be about damages? GP even ends his comment on a very postitive note about things that would help. Not every mistake needs to be punished. It was a false positive, and it was heartening to see that all the parties acted fast enough. Why not just move on instead of outraging over hypothetical concerns?

EDIT: I have no idea how to quote parent comments here.
But they are in my opinion really difficult to understand, test or customize. In the example above, the reified Option<boolean[]> can be passed around, transformed, inspected, invoked in tests, etc. The annotation approach weaves together the aggregate class (the overarching config class), the specific field of the class (`verbose`) and how that field should be parsed from command line arguments.
Convenient system services such as "Find My iPhone"... this title is dramatic.
Firefox for Android seems to solve this "issue" for me completely, after I started to use it, Google stopped to show AMP pages to me, even in News section all the links are direct. So use mobile Firefox, I find it too be very good these days, no regrets. I still have Chrome (just in case), but I didn't use it since.
A nuance here to tease out is that there are alternatives to github with low barriers of entry, unlike data analytic capabilities like google or FB.

At worst, ICE can mail around zip archives as source control like the old days. It doesn’t give them new capabilities like some signal processing service.

Basically, the devs here don’t have a compelling case - quit and start their own scm hub and pick their own customers. If they can achieve a business as such, then props.
Well the video chat thing actually makes a lot of sense, and was definitely predicted by a lot of sci-fi many decades ago, even in "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1967. I'm actually surprised that of all the things sci-fi predicted, that that one didn't pan out much. It turns out that, in the future, people prefer exchanging extremely short text messages with each other than seeing each others' faces, or even spending time in each others' presence. Futurists from a half-century ago would be shocked and disappointed.

The decision to continue to service specific entities is a political move, same as selling weapons to Saudi Arabia or Iran, or the stance the NBA has taken with China regarding its pro-HK player.
