One benefit of this Instant Ink subscription thing: you pay per printed page, not for ink usage. Doesn't matter if the page is white with some black lines, or a full-size photo.

But yes, if you don't need them now professional printing is quite cheap and you need to invest quite a bit to get the same quality at home.
There should be regulations, yes. We should be dramatically limiting the power of the government as it was in the past in the US.

If it is a problem that the government identifies you as a protestor, at that point it doesn't matter that there was a regulation telling them not to. The government needs to be controlled to the point that it doesn't matter whether they can identify a protestor or not, because peacefully protesting should not be a crime that warrants government intervention.

It should be hard for the government to imprison you or otherwise impinge your freedom, for only serious offenses, with a high burden of proof, in a public trial.

A minor example in my house that makes a massive difference during winter storms where we lose power: my gas fireplace is electronically, remotely controlled. Except you can manually start it up if needed. Makes the basement super cozy even if the furnace can't run.

My argument was that, if you want to keep a right protected from government, bundling it into a list (like the Bill of Rights) is a good approach.

I never said that the Bill of Rights covers all possible rights or that the founders were infallible.

Your question about slavery is misguided. The founders were forming a union out of pre-existing states. It was not the founders' intent to interfere with states much at all. Only certain parts of the Constitution prohibit powers to the states, and before the 14th Amendment, the states were not as tightly bound even by the Bill of Rights (e.g. the 1st Amendment starts "Congress shall pass no law...").

The idea that you can form a union of 13 colonies and also make demands of them at the same time goes against the whole idea of the Constitution. The Constitution is a framework, and it only protects rights that were already widely regarded as rights before the union (for instance, the right to bear arms wasn't just made up for the Constitution, similar things existed in many state constitutions already).

The Constituion is amazing not because it was perfect from day one. It is amazing because it expressly limited the power of the government that it was creating (the federal government), and because it turned out to be a surprisingly resilient framework. The Bill of Rights is amazing because it got a surprising number of things right.

Going back to the original article, the 1st and 4th Amendments are still radical after 200+ years.

We can re-examine the 1st, 2nd, 4th, or whatever Amendment you want. But they seem like a good list to me, and once one is lost it is unlikely to be regained peacefully (because losing a right grants power to the government, amd governments don't like to give up power). Majority opinions do fluctuate a lot and if a simple majority could give up the rights of everyone, the entire Bill of Rights would be long gone.

Murder rates have declined dramatically since the founding and still seem to be declining or steady. So I don't want to give up the 2nd Amendment just because we have more media noise about guns, nor the 1st/4th Amendment because police have a harder time decrypting messages now. I find it weird to call rights "untenable" when everything is getting better, not worse. Like, what exactly is the big problem with freedom that it was somehow "tenable" before but now it's not?

The Surprising Breadth of Harbingers of Failure (2019)
The most critical transportation infrastructure in NYC is sidewalks. They work really well because walking in a dense urban area is the rough equivalent of traveling hundreds of miles of hour in the suburbs. Manhattan‘s 1.5 million commuters very much depend on roads, busses, and rail to get to work, but the city can devote far less land to roads and build fewer and shorter due to the density. Subway + sidewalk = highway + local roads.

So try that comparison of a bus vs 100+x as much roads. Because, Manhattan has infrastructure for 1.6 million residents and 1.5 million commuters. That includes stuff like like office space and schools so your talking about a full state in under 23 square miles with 1.3 square miles of that being parks. Try doing that in the suburbs where most buildings have ground level parking lots and you need massive amounts of granted relatively inexpensive roads.

I'd argue what is being done with smart cities could be done with smart code bases.
For instance: any language's core library has functions that almost nobody uses. That would change if we had a measure of how frequently these functions are used, starting with why we write these functions in the first place: as I see it, this would lead to a more experiment-driven fashion of writing code, instead of idealising the use of these functions as we do nowadays.
The modern view of it seems to be that none of it is needed and can even be counterproductive. Compression can sometimes be useful to reduce swelling. Swelling can be unpractical, but is not bad in itself. Rest, ice and elevation will in general make recovery slower.
I don't know if the interest is driven by AirBnB. But, for me, luggage storage (and corresponding access to a front desk all day) is a major feature of conventional hotels when I travel. Many times a year I either arrive in a city early or aren't leaving until the afternoon/evening and need somewhere to drop my bag. And, in a lot of places, there aren't really luggage storage options available other than your hotel, especially at convenient locations.

Japanese train stations are great for this. But it's very uncommon in many/most places.

> Responsibility, and its sister concept blame, are distractions from solving problems. Responsibility and blame put the focus on finding who was responsible for the problem and blaming them, which then leads to the logical conclusion of punishing them. But this so rarely actually solves the problem. When someone makes a mistake, it's usually not intentional, and often it's a failure of training.

Responsibility and punishment are good because people make better decisions inside frameworks that recognize these things.

If it is true that Go is also played by other Alien species, there is no guarantee that they all play on the same size of board.

If earth is visited by Aliens some day, we should assume they play on larger board than us. It would be laughable that we get visited by 9*9 players.

Yes, you would. I am actually working right now on a way to use an ESP8266 or ESP32 as an interface between dumb switches and Home Assistant (via MQTT), but it requires substantial rewiring and, being all DIY, is probably not suited for something that you rent.

For Zigbee switches, depending on your lights it could also be power plugs. Ikea and Philips are again the easy choices if they sell what you want. Depending on where you are based you could also find something that fits in your existing switchboxes.

I check as well. However, the airline can/will change the aircraft at their discretion. Last time I didn't find out until I arrived at the gate. If you don't want to fly on the changed aircraft, I'm not sure what recourse you have at that point. Of course, ultimately you can not board, but there may be penalties.

If you had carry-on only, it might not bother them much. If you checked baggage, they need remove it, causing a delay. Although in principle, this would be "just as if" you missed the boarding call, I suspect if you tell them ahead of time (as in: "I'm not boarding this plane."), they'll try to persuade you there will be penalties. I don't know.

There must be fine-print in the contract of carriage, since the ticket ("product") purchase indicates the aircraft.

Perhaps one could verify the aircraft before check-in. If you don't receive a boarding pass, obviously there is no problem whatsoever, you just lose the flight unless you've paid top-dollar for a refundable ticket.
That was out of line, I apologize. Wasn't exactly at my calmest when I posted that.

I was trying to store my luggage at lockers in Tokyo Station, and I tried different locker clusters but they were all full.

There are luggage shipment services although the one time I tried to use one internationally I ended up with customs issues.

Ask HN: What career options can I pursue with do not involve full-time coding?
I am seeking career directions from HN community. I have a Masters in Computer Applications. Over the last decade, I have worked with various IT services companies which mostly involved writing code (apps, backends, scripts) as the primary activity.

I feel writing code as the primary activity is not that I am, or will ever be very good at. But, I love the domain and have a decent understanding about where my skills lie (highly interested in learning deeply about system/technology, self learning & mentoring colleagues, reading, and communicating with other people).

I am looking for alternate career avenues in the computer technology domain, which can best leverage my strengths along with my decent understanding of computer programming.

I have a really good understanding of Apple developer ecosystem along with in-depth knowledge of Apple and related hardware, software and services.

What are the career avenues that I can look towards pursuing? I am pretty flexible about options (on-site, remote, part-time, consulting). I am trying to understand what kind of jobs my skills can be useful in, where I won't be expected to doing programming as the primary activity.

Thank you for your time and inputs.
The universe is a little bit bigger that earth, especially outside our observable light cone. If there is alien intelligence out there, it is reasonable to assume that a game mathematically equivalent to go has been invented elsewhere. (Because I feel like if there are any other alien intelligences out there, there would be a very, very large number of them. The anthropic principle might explain a single intelligent species, but just 2 or even 1 million seems very unlikely given the quantities involved)
To be clear, there will be tsunamis: this is potentially a Tohoku-magnitude event closer to the coastline, but the Northwest ocean-front coastline is relatively thinly populated.

> This is more and more starting to smell a bit like this is the first time in a while when somebody is actually looking whether a plane fulfills the regulation

Of course it is. That's the whole point of MCAS, limited pilot training, and the rest of Boeing's "strange" design decisions to make the Max seem like a minor update.

Let me state this explicitly: The 737 does not meet current FAR part 25 standards. It did meet part 25 standards at the time the type certificate was issued 50+ years ago, but the standards have changed.

So how was the Max certified? Well, the FAA awarded Boeing an "amended type certificate" (that's a term of art) for the 737 Max, which means that it is certified on the basis of being a variant of the original 737-100 that flew in 1967.

That means aircraft systems can be grandfathered in, even if they don't meet current standards. Many of the 737's systems would need to be extensively redesigned in order to pass muster for a new type certificate. Boeing did everything they could to avoid a new type certificate for the Max, so as to avoid redesigning the entire plane.

Fun fact: Every Boeing 717 still has a placard near the main front entry door that proudly announces its Douglas DC-9 type certificate (from two corporate mergers ago).
I agree that Apple will eventually provide some sort of Xcode support. For now, Pythonista is a proof of concept that you can effectively write small Python programs on an iPad.

I plug my small iPad Pro into my USB-C interface large monitor and a few applications take advantage of dual screens to show different content.

For now, I find that I can code while traveling using a remote Linux server, Working Copy, Prompt ssh shell app, and Textastic for local editing. Not very convenient, but it works.

What is convenient on my iPad while traveling is writing. I use leanpub with markdown files stored in a github repo for each book, edit and do git stuff with Working Copy, and generate review PDFs on leanpub’s web app. This works fine. On rare occurrences I use Microsoft Word on my iPad, works great, but I prefer markdown and leanpub.
I'm not following. The universe is unbelievably vast, and likely has many, many more magnitudes of intelligent species out there than we have had cultures down here on this one planet.

I don't want to get into arguing Drake's equation here, but if you accept that aliens exist, then you're granting that there's a lot of them; it makes no sense why we would be, e.g., one of only two intelligent species in the entire universe.

Both came of academic roots (mit/ai, and prolog influences for erlang), to me it gave a very dry but highly structured conceptual foundations. I mean lisp is mostly tree recursion everywhere. Unlike simpler languages that were use-case driven, and iterated over the absorption of better concepts over time, waving between fads.

"It could only be invented by humans" is a very different statement to "no aliens will have invented it". That's making an ought out of an is.

The intention of the GP was - given that Go was not invented again on Earth, there's no real indication that it would be invented again at all. That doesn't imply that it cannot be invented again because it is too complex.
But I mean you can 'make up' new content. That's literally what they do for 'fake 3d'! They 'make up' new background content for areas uncovered by the shift needed to create the parallax, using either machine estimation or manual drawing. How else did people think this worked?

- some simple 1d plots to illustrate your points would be very illuminating; without them, i'm not very convinced by your arguments

- 'generalization-agnostic' is very frustrating as a term, i'm sure you can think of something clearer

- i'm not sure that your argument 'a BNN is only as good as its prior' is any better than 'a NN is only as good as its initialisation', yes any NN model is for sure a victim of local optima, but for most practioners this is good enough
Retention Futility: Targeting High-Risk Customers Might Be Ineffective (2018)
The social media companies might be able to buy some good press by suing this company, its founders, its investors, and its employees into oblivion for terms of service violations.

On the other hand, it would push copycats into developing alternative business models to capture the demand while still hiding from civil legal action.

And there’s wider societal costs from potentially chilling innovation like this through the social media companies acting like a trust.

Personally I’m rooting for Tesla’s vertical integration approach. Tesla doesn’t need to be the best, just good enough to make a component of adequate quality for less than what the supplier would charge for it. I do think they’ve figured out some places where they can get to that level.

For commodities like semiconductors it would be insane to try and open your own fab: those players are so much more sophisticated than anyone else. For mechanical components I think they logic is a lot more complicated. In a phrase: it depends. I’ve been working in product development for a few years and have been to overseas factories to help set up assembly lines. Some suppliers are fantastic and we won’t beat the quality / price. Others just don’t seem to get it and we’ll spend months and many engineering hours basically teaching them how to build what we need. It’s those cases where I would personally prefer to be more vertically integrated.
