I would consider a Tesla if it offered CarPlay. And I would prefer tactile controls instead of that hideous tablet.
The "highest and best use" being those with enough money to afford it?

This is just the neo-liberal mantra of "the markets are always right". That's fine when it's just rich people playing with their spare change. But when markets impact the whole of society it becomes a moral problem, currently we are letting city traders and investors make moral decisions for entire nations.
You are presenting this argument as if people do not get worried about getting sick when traveling to the US. I can assure you that most people are extremely worried about that because of the insane costs involved and the problem of dealing with insurance.
1. Electric cars become the norm. All cars are fully autonomous on highways. A driverless highway transport service will go mainstream in some states. (California)

2. China will undergo a major recession, as manufacturing moves to Africa and US maintains its trade war with China across Govts.

3. The best performing stock will be a meat substitute company

4. VR will take off big time. Concerns about VR porn being too realistic will be raised in serious circles.

5. Intel will continue its downfall, and a new Chinese SOC company will rise to prominence

6. Water desalination will become a major industry

7. Towards the end of the decade, Nuclear power will begin picking up again

8. Canadian economy will start flourishing with improvement in weather, massive skilled immigration and the establishment of new Arctic ports. Also, Toronto/Montreal will become the Silicon valley of Canada, as skilled immigrants move to the Canada knowing they will never get greencards in the US.

9. Messi will move to the MLS at 36, and usher in an era of Soccer to the US, slowly eating into college football's popularity.

10. Cargo pants will become popular again.
You need to ignore the horizontal resolution and count the blank areas as well: PAL = 25 * 625 = 15625, and NTSC = 29.97 * 525 = 15734.25.
The build quality of the Cr48 was pretty decent, especially for a machine they were giving away. The only part on mine that really failed was the display hinge, after I dropped it. The keyboard is pretty decent.

The atom processor and the 2GB max of ram is what really was the problem with it.

All that said, they supported the Cr48 for a long time after it was sent to people, especially considering it was basically public beta test hardware.

1. Ultra-fast internet connection, from nearly everywhere in World (5/6G, Satellites)

2. China's Aircraft future giant will be born

3. More tensions inside Europe, people will get defiant against the EU (for good reasons)

4. WYSIWYG app builder will be better and actually produce decent code.

5. First brain-computer interface

6. AI and computer science will continue to help all other fields without disrupting them

7. First real-world experimental attacks using quantum computers
True. We are required to pay taxes to support insurance schemes we can never use ourselves. So, in a sense, it's worse than what I stated. Payment is compulsory, but coverage is optional (and extra cost) for the majority of working Americans.
- Firefox hits 20% market share on the desktop, prompted by Chrome's nerfing of extensions in Manifest v3 (e.g. uBlock Origin won't work on Chrome anymore, forcing nerds & privacy-conscious people to switch). Firefox on devices gets a tiny boost as a consequence. ETA: 2021-2022.

- Tesla implodes as soon as a major manufacturer releases a high-performance all-electric car affordable by people on modestly-good salaries that actually ships on time. Shame, because the Cybertruck is badass. ETA: 2023.

- In other EV news: Electric vehicles will dominate in unrestricted motorsports (drift racing and some classes of drag racing come to mind). ETA: Rule changes to allow EVs will come in 2021. A couple of big-name drivers switch that year. Domination is established in 2025.

- We get a real, viable open source Linux-on-phone with all the apps we need. There's that Purism thing already, but that's flagship money; this will be boosted by the Pinephone (and whatever follows) being cheap enough that almost every hacker will buy one (Android and iOS will continue to dominate the mainstream). ETA: 2021.

- Attacks in the Spectre/Meltdown genre (side-channel attacks on CPUs) get frighteningly good, and impossible to defend against. By the end of the decade we may need to either simplify processor design massively (and take the performance hit) or abandon the idea that processes can be effectively separated at all. ETA: new attack at least once every year of the decade. Complete rethink of processor design before 2030.

- A data breach on an unimaginable scale will happen. The Big One will be a tracking or analytics or advertising company. Equifax was bad, but this will be everyone's personal preferences, porn preferences, and (subset of) browsing history, which will easily be linked to identifiable people. ETA: any time now.

- House prices in the United Kingdom collapse. This causes global ripples similar to 2007-2008, in which we find out just how much of the financial system is betting on an asset price to keep going up, forever. Massive social unrest over the attendant bailouts. "That which cannot go on forever, won't". ETA: 2025. (I have hilariously mistimed this one in the past!)
Ask HN: What should I do with the latest.dev domain?
I bought latest.dev last year. What do you think I should do with it? (I'm going about this Vidalya Onions style.)

My general idea is to consolidate the places you need to go to find the latest dev-related things, whether that's third party API changes, package updates, language updates, etc. It could be also salaries in your area, job postings, etc. But I don't know exactly what to do or where to start, and I figured I might get some good feedback from HN readers on what they would expect/hope to find from that domain, as well as what pains you experience trying to "keep up" with the latest.

Also, I'm a web dev so things are frequently changing in my field, curious if the need is felt beyond that.

Fwiw, I agree about supercompilation.

Some have noted that JIT systems perform many of the same things as supercompilation, and it seems reasonable to consider that JIT is part of the equation for optimising performance when systems are pushed to production. We've been doing that for decades now, with increasing sophistication in the details. Profile driven, multiple stages of specialisation and optimisation.

Not quite to the levels of proof systems (and therefore supercompilation as envisioned) yet - there's plenty of room to get better at it - and we need to go there if we want those "zero cost abstractions" across modules that aren't designed for it, often with significant impedance mismatches.

I’m curious... what kind of car do you drive? I’d like to look up the safety data.
There are always options, like rationing food and water, which is what you do instead of letting multibillionaires with printed currency buy it all out of the ground leaving nothing left.
* Self Driving Cars become a reality. All Cars have self-driving capabilities.
* IDE's become better and assist programmers further and programmers continue to enjoy programming.
* Learning becomes easier assisted by computers. Kids benefit a lot and become equipped to solve harder problems.
Before getting to the "perfect size portion", US restaurants can start by cutting the portion size in half. Really, you guys servings size are really crazy.

Maybe offer free refill for customers really hungry (AFTER they're done with their initial serving).
I got a model 3 after 3 months in the UK. If you want a performance one and don't care about colour you can get inventory ones quicker than that
>The Acer C720 used a 3.8 Linux kernel, as documented at [1]. Updating to a new kernel would have required a full QA of the hardware to make sure that the device drivers in a newer kernel still worked correctly with that hardware.

Thanks for taking the time to explain.
Can you even submit to Digg anymore? The basic functionality is broken and it's unclear why the site is floundering? Are you serious?
That assumes that an EU factory will find economies of scale and efficiencies to counter the higher real wages in EU compared to the US and China. And that Tesla won't simply add those efficiencies to their bottom line.
That's a great thing about having different states with different laws. Cultural norms around the country vary.
The only "out of control" Teslas I've heard about are people misusing autopilot.

I could engage the cruise control in my 2011 VW Scirocco and drive straight into a concrete barrier, I don't see any material difference.

In fact I'd imagine that this is happening all over the world on a pretty much daily basis but we don't hear about it because it's not Tesla.

So... you want a high end laptop? Those are available, even with ChromeOS installed. But they're not any cheaper. Hardware is hardware.

When people talk about price being an advantage for Chromebooks, they mean at the low end, where the OS can operate well on hardware that Windows doesn't tolerate, and where the windows license fees become a significant part of the selling price.

Try a comparison of devices around $300US, that's the sweet spot for ChromeOS.
Also mine is basic. More than £35k though.

Premium brands can charge premium prices. Part of that is their relationships with doctors. It's not great, but at least if there's a generic option that is truly affordable, people who are cost-conscious have an opportunity to pursue it.

Yes, there are multiple problems with the healthcare industry, and I'm aware what I'm describing doesn't solve all of them.
That is the thing, it doesn't sell at all outside US School system, as the article points out.
That's not the same thing. Other "hard working" people are paying into private ins along with you. The poor don't because their hours are capped at 30 so they'll never get health insurance. Therefore they're not contributing, therefore they don't deserve it.

Note: This is not my position on the matter. Just trying to explain the difference.

Edit: Regarding Medicaid and Medicare - believe me, people would love to see Medicaid go also. I think they're OK-ish with Medicare because they know they'll get old at some point.
I agree about the frustration of having my flow disrupted, but my like of daily standups is related to my experience that they create an overall reduction in interruptions.

Of course, that's my experience. Others may have had different experiences and I respect that. If you formerly had 0 interruptions per day and now you have 1 interruption per day, that would be frustrating. I would also like to work where you work!
>CEO that makes a forecast the company ends up coming short on they're gonna get pretty busy pretty quick...

Would you be shocked to learn that when a company realizes they are going to to materially miss a forecast they are obligated to notify shareholders? This is how it works.

You know, the exact opposite of Elon saying "profits from here on out" then losing $700MM the very next quarter.
Are you also happy that your mum's stuff lives on Google servers?

'Cause I steer my folks away from such stuff.
I just did something similar. Maybe others will benefit from my experience.

For Dercuano I mostly just used Markdown (in Emacs and occasionally Vim, with Git) but then at the end I wrote a janky HTML renderer that outputs PDF in order to have a format people can read on cellphones. If I hadn't done such a rush job on the HTML renderer, I think it would have come out pretty well.

A couple of aspects that did work well were Latin Modern Mono Condensed Light (lmtlc), a TeX font derived from Computer Modern Teletype, page-number links, and Reportlab. lmtlc made it possible to produce a PDF that can display 80 columns of fixed-pitch text on a cellphone screen at a readable size, although I had to fall back to FreeMono for characters outside lmtlc’s repertoire and for boldface. And page numbers make it possible to follow links in Google Drive’s inept PDF viewer, which otherwise lacks any such ability and is disappointingly the Android default, with about 15 seconds of focused effort. Not great, but not bad for a 3700-page book. And Reportlab, a PDF output lib for Python 2, is just a pleasure to work with, which is a phrase very rarely found near the word “PDF”.

The PDF renderer is at https://github.com/kragen/dercuano/blob/master/genpdf.py but probably it would have been a better use of time to figure out how to do it in pandoc, which has an actual box model, even though Petersen isn't enthusiastic about his experience with it.

Readability on cellphone screens is really difficult, demanding a lot of compromise, and I'm very happy with what I was able to achieve there. With another couple of days I would have added hyphenation and justification, which would have made it considerably better still. The result is at http://canonical.org/~kragen/dercuano.20191230.pdf.
Somewhat off topic, but it's very odd that the US won't let him visit, and the reasons aren't clear. https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2018/07/28/administrative-purgat...
I suppose open source projects could change their license such that big FAANG companies have to pay for their use, and individuals and small business could still use them for free.

I see no downsides: if my company ever grew to FAANG proportions, I'd be happy to pay a few million dollars (then pocket change) to open source projects I used.
Is this what the URls look like normally? (not from UK so I would not know)

Why not just https://ee.co.uk.billing.info/jan-02 ? I mean if someone does not notice it is a domain name and not path would they really notice where the info part is?
There was a lot of drama when Musk made this tweet, and we don't know what sort of discussions or agreements have been made behind closed doors.

Musk hasn't made similar tweets since then, so it seems plausible that SEC did indeed give some sort of warning, or that the parties have had some sort of clarifying exchange regarding their agreement.
First off it's a VM, not an emulator. Second, they're charging for the VM, not for iOS. The VM is purely their work.
I hate big numbers without context. You can just replace whatever number given with "a shocking amount", and get a more honest statement.

A common one these days is "X tons of CO₂", which means absolutely nothing to 99% of people.

If you want to inform, there are ways to put numbers in context. How many % of some relevant emissions are these tons of CO₂? 480 million animals out of how many total?
Of course when it comes to the web it's three languages underneath. Per the standard, you can't escape that. Now look at apps that are built to run on an OS using MVC. It's usually all in the same language. Why?

Separation of concerns doesn't imply separate languages. There might be some merit to the idea of a DSL for each concern? But if the end result of that experiment includes CSS, I would call the experiment a failure.
You're not looking for a Tesla based on your criteria. Tactile controls are antithetical to updating the UX with software updates. It doesn't appear either complaint is inhibiting sales.
Don't you even dare. C is near-perfect in the simplicity of its core. You want bells and whistles, you hook up a library.
Good thinking. I'll be happy to supply expertise recovering data from old disk images if this is the case :-)
> Are you also happy that your mum's stuff lives on Google servers?

Incredibly.
> government should be compelling businesses to make these sort of changes

That's exactly what governments do all the time. Every regulation on food safety, or pollution standards, etc. came from them. Because left to their own devices most businesses would settle on the same "maximize profits regardless of consequences" path.

P.S. Well you can "ask/demand" anything. But with no authority the process would be painfully slow, if even moving at all. Voting with the wallet works only when we have many good alternatives, which we usually don't.
Dabbawalas – Mumbai's lunchbox delivery and return system
I have been driving my model 3 for a year now and I don't think I can go back to a gas car, a car that doesn't receive OTA updates, or a car that doesn't have a driving assistant similar to Autopilot.

I'm happy that a new car company is challenging the rest of the auto industry on what a car should be and forcing them to drastically improve their products rather than incremental changes every year. Now we are seeing new car companies pop up ( Rivian ) that are following Tesla's footsteps. It is all very exciting to me.
Yeah, I feel the same way sometimes regarding the timing. I don't think they should be in the morning. The older I get, the more of a morning person I am... that's my productive time.

I personally would rather do those meetings in the early afternoon, like before or after lunchtime.

Pretty sure there are plenty of studies that show early afternoon is our least productive time anyway.

(TBH, and I'm being completely serious here, my ideal schedule would also involve siesta time in the early afternoon)
For me the selling point of Chromebooks is that it's a stateless computer, so not much can go wrong.

Also updates are really smooth: done in the background, just have to do a quick reboot and you're done.

Since I migrated my mother to a Chromebook, she no longer breaks anything and I no longer have to do tech support.
You would need to pay more in the short term when transitioning, but not in the long term. You spend far and away more on health care per capita than any other country in the world.
Sorry, I removed that and the next part of my post about 20 seconds after posting it exactly to avoid getting into pointless fights like this. We had bad luck with your refresh time...

But, you are still messing up your dates. He did not violate the agreement because the original agreement was in effect at the time and it did not require running this past his lawyers.

This has run out through court already, the SEC did not win.
Xcode provides simulators, software that looks like iOS but works completely differently on the inside.

I'd say within 10% fulfills (if barely) "about X".
You're likely right that it's PR spin, but the answer for that is responding to the spin, not ignoring the content of the article like many comments were doing at the time.
His opinions were not that rare. The socialist mainstream of his time was libertarian and "Anarchism" was just the name of this current. In fact, leading up to his coup d'etat Lenin himself published quasi-anarchist pamphlets. The Bolshevik's rallying cry was "All power to the soviets!" - "soviets" were (libertarian, socialist) workers' councils.
The state doesn't have to tell you how, just to mandate it. See pollution standards where the point isn't to come up with a technical solution but with a measurable expectation.
A lack of EV certificate is not a decent proxy for legitimacy, because most of legitimate important sites don't have an EV certificate - so people can't be trained to think that they should think twice if an EV certificate is absent.
It isn't. Simulators are still a thing, but they're not like Corellium. They may look like iOS but they can't run iOS apps or iOS binaries (apps have to be compiled specifically for the simulator). That's because the simulator is just an app that looks like iOS, but works completely differently on the inside.
The Swiss system is reasonable because there are government set limits on deductibles and co-pay. Insurance providers are also prohibited from discriminating based on previously existing conditions.

The services are also much cheaper than the US in general, even though Switzerland has some of the highest costs of living in the world. A routine visit at your doctor will cost at most a couple hundred dollars. Your deductible may be ~1000-2000 dollars and co-pay 10% up to ~7000 dollars after which your insurance must cover everything.

Swiss insurance will only cover you outside of your home canton up to twice the cost of having the procedure done in that canton, and only in emergencies. For that reason Swiss people are warned about needing emergency procedures in the US and Japan because it can bankrupt them.
Does the agreement apply retroactively?
Hmmm, So how much carbon was re-introduced to the atmosphere from those rotting carcasses ?
I agree, but that's orthogonal to the question of whether we should ask/demand businesses to do better.
Yeah, a family plan at my employer (a big corporate) with the same limits is about $5000/yr to the employee. And that’s on top of the fact my salary is already 25-50% higher than it would be at a small business. The deck is seriously stacked against smaller employers right now.
