Well, it might happen as part of a quid pro quo deal. China also has plans in this space: http://www.ecns.cn/news/sci-tech/2018-09-19/detail-ifyyehna1...

If China wants access to the US market for Hongyan, SpaceX and the FCC might be able to negotiate some form of access for Starlink to the Chinese market. Likely this would involve access from China relayed through Chinese ground gateways.
This makes no sense to me. After driving around an extremely inexpensive Ford Fiesta (14k MSRP for a 2019) you purchase a 40k Tesla then think, "Maybe I should get rid of the Fiesta"?

So you could have easily afforded a more expensive care but thought, "na, I'll go with the Fiesta. I don't like spending money on cars" but then said, "oh hell ya, I'm buying the Tesla" because you've got 40K burning a hole in your pocket?
I live in the midwest and there's a Frys up by Chicago. I drove up there during the holidays in hopes I might be able to snag my wife a nice monitor off the floor.

I was absolutely gutted to see the state of the store. It's immense, which makes its hollowness even more shocking. I remember when the store opened during my highschool years (2004'ish?) it was a pilgrimage to go there and see double-stacked shelves of every part you could imagine.

The employees (probably a 15-20 in the huge 400K sq.ft. store) looked shellshocked and didn't seem to have any inclination to ask me how they could help. I talked to a security guard who was maybe 17-18 and he mentioned something about renegotiating contracts with vendors or something, but I could tell even he didn't buy it.

I don't think there is any question of whether Fry's is in dire trouble.
Any plans to add reply notifications? Forever ago I used a chrome extension that had both karma and reply tracking and I quite enjoyed it. I've written code to do this personally and I also use HNReplies to get them in my email but It'd be nice to get at least reply notifications in the app. That said, especially since I've done it before, I know this is no small ask and adding push notifications to an app can greatly increase the complexity.
The chances that 100% of their cultural values/ideas are better is probably pretty slim. And most people are moving for economic reasons, not cultural ones (though the two are often tightly coupled).

Take a move from the US to Canada. I might prefer Canada's nationalized health system to America's every-man-for-himself system. But, I might also prefer American's highly interventionist foreign policy and take that preference with me when I move. [Not claiming I believe in either, just an example]
The Fry’s in Burbank won’t even keep all their lights on during the day. I’ve had to bust out the flashlight on my phone while browsing there.

I just think they’ve got too much crap in there at RadioShack prices. It’s hard to find something I’m looking for and when i do find it, have to make the mental choice to pay twice as much for it in store or wait 2 days for Amazon Prime to deliver it.

So just anecdotally as a guy who shops there, I’m not surprised they’re struggling.
I think the joke-inside-the-joke is the assumption that every language seeks to be a GP language. Which is not true, but sure tends toward truth as time approaches infinity.
Huh, thank you. I hadn't known that. I tend to go with the monetary argument first, since it helps to convince people who are primarily self-interested. I definitely think that there is a moral argument for option G, and will stick to those arguments overall in the future.
1. Another attempt will be made to have national healthcare in the US. We will still have employment based health care to some extent.

2. Lab grown meat will be sold for public consumption. There will be a lot of hit pieces about how it's less healthy or organic than "real" meat.

3. Autonomous cars will never quite be ready for public use as cabs or personal cars but will revolutionize the shipping industry.

4. We will have a treatment for Alzheimer's.

5. Streaming services as we have then now will be the same (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+) (that HBO one will hopefully stick around) and are the unmovable juggernauts of the industry.

6. Online etiquette is something people will seriously teach to children. Don't dox, "cancel" others etc.

7. Instagram or WhatsApp will be broken off from Facebook after an anti-trust investigation.

8. Wales will vote to leave the UK for the EU. It will be an even more difficult transition than Brexit.

9. Humans will go back to the moon, but not land on Mars.
Zip ties also have hard corners which can cut into cables in high-vibration environments. Even with correct tensioning (using a cable-tie tool[1] of some sort) they're a potential hazard. Wrapping the cable with a shielding material first can mitigate this, but cable lacing is more reliable.

You're welcome to wear whatever you want while riding your illegal whatever-you-call-it. Don't scold the rest of us.
AC can be controlled by voice as well. Both the temperature and the direction of the vents.

I mean, I think it's more of a party trick honestly. I set the AC vents once when setting up the car and haven't touched it since. I set the temperature once a season, roughly.
Vote with your wallet and ask an amount of money that will make up for the nightmare. I don't mind working on shit if I am compensated well enough that I only have to endure it for a couple weeks to be able to take a long holiday.

If they decline, leave for greener pastures. The market will eventually fix it; the high turnover will force the company to either pay more or fix the problems with the code base so they don't have to pay insane amounts of money to retain talent.
I think you missed the minus sign there ;)
The were far more serious about it - is wasn’t just a casual claim.
How is the Micro Center in DFW doing? I see other electronics retailers doing ok, so I think Amazon is just the coup de grace.
1. Climate feedback loops will intensify.

2. No actions of any great consequence re: #1 will be taken.

3. Scientists will rename the planet "Uranus".
I think biologically, mothers have a naturally stronger bond with their offspring for the simple reason they were a physical part of them for so long.
A father, likely being less emotionally involved (at least initially), might need a little bit more guidance. I don't think you have to be automatically offended...
Yes, agree.

A few weeks ago I had an argument with a few engineering students is one of the 30 top schools in the world, whether you can send an email form Gmail to Outlook or not!!

They thought it was like Messenger and WhatsApp not being able to talk to each other.

The concept of Open protocols and clients have to be taught in school.

Oh, how puzzled the looked when I showed them my Outlook email on my phone's Gmail app.

I was agitated.

I just acquired a IBM PS/1, and it's been really fun tinkering with it and learning about it. The next article is about PC-DOS, so I'm looking forward to it.
Haha. I see what you mean. Lack of market is the #1 killer of a startup.

I think the bag bans are more about the litter clogging up sewers, trees, streets, and breaking down into microplastics outside. I also think your number is cherry picked.

Here in the states, most grocery stores sell woven poly polypropylene, LDPE resusable bags, not cotton totes. The study you cite says it only takes 4 reuses of an LDPE bag to beat a single use plastic bag, and 11 for the woven PPE kind, an order of magnitude better than cotton. That's only a month or two of grocery trips, and they last for years. I know I've reused the same ones for the past decade.
C has many rough spots too, especially in organising large and complex programs. There is always scope for innovation and improvements.
Who said I was offended? I'm more bemused.
My living situation, for one: I have no easy way to charge the thing while living in an apartment complex. That anxiety alone keeps me from going to a dealership. Range anxiety doesn't bother me, just the ability to keep the thing going every week without going way out of my way.
Totally agree. I honestly think the research is way too limited, but the entourage effect looks promising. But you are right, when we talk about the entourage effect we usually only think about THC and CBD.

Not sure if you have seen these reviews (below), but they might be a good place to reference from. Ethan Russo seems to be the major authority on the subject. Although he is associated with GW pharmaceuticals, the producers of Epidiolex (CBD) for seizures.

Not sure why someone would use map like that (which would unnecessarily generate and return a new array of 'corn's) instead of just forEach.

I'd also probably recommend using Array.from instead of a spread (for clarity) but less concerned about that part.
No, it’s the price you pay for trusting concepts that are not intended to be trustworthy. No matter what you come up with, as long as you train people to do things wrong there will always be a way to fool them.

No company should send messages containing a url that requires login, payment data or the like. People should go to these places by typing the url or by using their own bookmarks.
"Indeed. It's reasonable to assume no belt = no survival, but not always.”

That’s not “Indeed” at all. I claim that “belt ⇒ survival” isn’t true (as confirmed by the fact that 2/3rds of those dying in traffic did wear a seatbelt)
Same, the Plano store is same story.

I won't be going back. Microcenter, Best Buy, or an online retailer for me..
I assume large employers have already done the math and decided keeping the status quo (locking in employees via health coverage) is a net positive (vs a nationalized system of some variety).
Not in that post, but there is another post from a year later saying his visa application still hasn't been processed, and even a page to track how long it has been which is approaching the 2 year mark:

I'm sure the authors have heard of Lisp. And I suspect the authors are making a dig at the fact that Lisp is now over 60 years old and its popularity has been dwarfed by many, many "worse" languages (partially because Lisp has several properties that are checkboxes in this list ;) ).
Making tiny WebAssembly graphics demos
Having the same apps on your phone available on the media display in the car is quite compelling. For someone in the Apple ecosystem, that means CarPlay.

Would you ever seriously consider an Apple iPhone? Given comments you've made regarding iOS and Apple in the past, I suspect not, which makes the whole point moot in your context.

Different people value things differently. That's okay, and you don't need to agree with their value judgements. Refusing to see that other's value judgements are okay for them—while not necessarily the same as yours—is important.
This works so long as entire build is your own code. Once you get to libraries written by someone else who happens to have a different “wish list”, I would guess this flags idea wouldn’t work well.
Perhaps Cocoa development, though it typically used a GUI tool for the UI layout, so not really.

Smalltalk, but Smalltalk MVC is different from what MVC typically means nowadays.

FWIW, WPF uses MVVM, not MVC. The differences are as subtle and pedantic as they are important.
I think ebikes are limited to 25km/h (15mph) across the EU. That's a speed a commuter might reach on a regular bike on flat terrain, the motor just helps making it effortless and terrain-independent. It's still advisable to wear a helmet since cars drive faster than that.
> If by value you mean political value, yes. If by value you mean return to the company for the compensation, that has nothing to do with anything.

I experienced this reality check in grad school when I summered as an associate project manager at one of the large U.S. automotive manufacturers. I sat in on hiring as well as meetings deciding a firing.

In one case, two final round candidates for a position were both female. Both were highly competent candidates with equally impressive resumes. The less attractive candidate performed markedly better though. I'll let you guess who was hired. (What was surreal was the discussion that took place when deciding between the candidates. Everyone wanted the more attractive candidate, but of course, saying so would be crazy. So, instead, the pretext became 'cultural fit'.)

In one case where someone was let go, the rational given was merely one that presented itself as a means to get rid of someone that a director had wanted to fire for awhile.

Any language that compiles to JavaScript.

Any day now, I suspect some fools are going to want to write web apps, but they won’t want to use raw javascript and they’ll create some ridiculous custom language to javascript compiler. I can only hope they have the good sense not to tell anybody about it.
The market exists to serve us? Cool. But who is providing this service?
I would blend in with the crowd while doing my best to make enough money to escape. There's no point taking any risks in a jurisdiction that doesn't even understand basic human rights, and you ain't fixing that either, at least not from the inside.
Check out the Versatackle[1]. It's very similar, but self-locking so it's easier to tie off at the end: you don't need to maintain tension on the working (free) end for it to maintain tension on the load!

http://useknots.com/other/versatackle/
the news release does mention that the research was published in Science. I agree that it wouldn't have taken much to add a link, but here; https://science.sciencemag.org/content/367/6473/71
Just stopped in my local microcenter (Wayne, pa) after not being in for a year or two and they had blocked off a third of the store with ugly shelving, Hopefully they are using the space for shipping or something, but I'm somewhat worried as they are the last physical store with a decent selection in the wide area.

Multiple aisles of cheap cellphone accessories aren't a good look either, but there were a bunch of Anker boxes - whose cables I like.
I would counter that all currencies in major countries will become digital but that blockchain will not be behind any of them and will have died out.
You're right that A/C and heat is a big factor; forget being able to shower there, no one likes exercising in one hundred ten-degree heat. Distance is a problem too, though: in cities lots of people commute 40+ miles to work each way, which isn't really feasible by bike. Thinking about when I got started working as hourly, I would never have spent two or three times the time because that would have a serious opportunity cost, so probably never an option for hourly workers.
Caffeine seems like a stretch, but I wouldn't be surprised. We're becoming more aware of the health implications of insufficient sleep, and the socialization of medicine has governments taking on the financial burden of people being irresponsible with their health.
>To stay under +2°C in 2100 we need to reduce our CO² emission to ~2T/year of CO² per human. We are at 15T/year in the US and ~10T/year at the OECD. We are currently aiming at +4°C or more.

Seems to be busy enough. They always have new cool products and lots of new inventory. If he's in Irving that's pretty far from him so he might not visit.
I have been binging on Darknet Diaries (https://darknetdiaries.com/) Each episode deals with various aspects of infosec. The description given on the website is:

"This is a podcast about hackers, breaches, APTs, hacktivism, cybercrime, and all the things that dwell on the hidden parts of the network."
The only way this comment could be more cringe is if you weren’t paid by Tesla to post it.

I had three responses, take your pick:

A.) At least those activities take place in meat-space.

B.) Because those are the only options, right? Phone or delinquency?

C.) You think that's it? The parents are druggies who had unwanted
children and so they are content to let the phone raise them? The 60's
did it?
The past was extremely poor.
People should state predictions where their view of the probabilities differs from conventional wisdom. EG, if most people think there's a ~20% chance that level 5 SDCs will be available in 2030 and you think it's a 1% chance then that's a valid prediction, even though it's not that exciting to predict something won't happen. If people think there's a 0% chance of hoverboards and you think it's 10% then that's an interesting prediction, even though you still expect it not to happen.

Any serious prediction should include a probability estimate that differs from conventional probability estimates. Almost not one actually does this, because everyone is doing it wrong.
1. Google loses significant market share.

2. Fusion research breakthrough.

3. Software is more complex, slower and buggier.

4. Nothing major is done about climate change. Countries that try to do something, suffer economically.

5. Sea level rise continues the same trend as in the last 200 years. [1]

[1]: According to NOAA, only about 10 tide gauges in the world indicate sea level rise more than 5mm / year. I predict the situation will stay approximately the same. https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.html
The store in Phoenix not only had bare shelves, but the extra warehousing space in the back corner was all empty.

I went there on Black Friday this year to find the shelves still empty.
people tend to make optimistic predictions. A lot of predictions were correct, and many of them were right on subject, but predicted the positive instead of the negative turn of things. Interesting views regardless, but i cant help to notice that tech progress was nothing like 2000->2010.
Yes, and that's fine, but it's also somewhat a different problem. One that is better solved with a deposit scheme, redesign, or some other method than tax and ban. (Edit: or the obvious- using biodegradable additives in HDPE at a marginal cost.)

Make them twice as thick. Melt a weight into the seam of each one to prevent flying and floating. You'd still be a magnitude ahead of the alternatives. There are alternatives besides banning.

They have their problems, but people don't realize what a damn miracle of engineering HDPE bags are. And other disposable paper and plastic items, to a lesser extent.
That seems surprisingly coherent actually. Freakishly so

Everything else the brexit crowd has produced is a steaming PoS of low quality lies.

Maybe they're better at playing the fool than I gave them credit for
Frankly, I don't think the AR/VR market is going to get much bigger than it is right now. For consumers, adoption might go up by a factor 2, but probably not a factor of 10 with a few exceptions. For example, I think HUD systems in cars will use a lot more AR ideas.

There are a lot more opportunities in the commercial space.
Can't you track state in a "stateless" way ? For example having the job write it's progress in a file, so that if your app goes down, you can just re-read the file and know the state of your job?
That whole shopping center is getting remodeled and the management has been arguing about renovating the space.

It's just a bunch of back and forth on who will pay for what, since they only lease half of that building. I have heard they are doing quite well.
Part of the issue is that their quality of service has gone down. 10 years ago, most people who worked there were knowledgeable in their respective departments, but now it is quite often the opposite. I don’t exactly blame the workers, it could simply be that circumstances have caused training to become nonexistent.

I remember the holidays at that time with the checkout line being so long that they couldn’t keep up with even 30 registers open. Now, they have maybe two registers open at any given time and the checkout line is never more than a few customers long.

I find it sad and disconcerting. But I have to admit to being part of the problem: I haven’t bought much at Fry’s since I built my last PC 2-3 years ago. Every time we go now, it’s depressing and we end up only buying a cable or a memory card.
I think this has more to do with the fact that there are (generally speaking) only two sexes. So if we talk about one lagging behind, then it is obvious that we are comparing one to the other. On the other hand, if you were to speak about underachievement of the Hmong immigrants in the US, the conversation usually gravitates towards how to help narrow the gap, etc.
