Cars are not a common subject on HN, so it probably caused some anonymous readers with knowledge or opinion on the matter to create an account so they can chime in.
The idolization of privacy undermines American economic progress. Especially the new virulent variation which defends privacy in public.

1) Privacy in Public is impossible

Besides being a contradiction in terms, imagine what an ideal society of public privacy looks like: a society where everyone is masked, where voices are obscured, where names are anonymized, where everyone is isolated from everyone by a wall that says, “why do you need to know?” It is patently absurd to promote privacy in public. And ultimately the winners are those who don’t follow the law — those in power in the first place. Do you really think governments and corporations are going to follow their own laws, or fail to ensure loopholes which only their and the cronies can fit through? Yes, look at China. The solution to advanced technology is not to pretend it can be stopped. The solution is to make it available widely and freely. Technology can’t be stopped. But it can be monopolized and misused.

2) Privacy in Public is economic sabotage

Economically, the more corporations know about their customers the more that their business decisions — both strategic and tactical — will be made upon data rather than intuition. The less they know about their users — as any HN reader should know — the more their business is at risk of dying. The presumption of corporations as evil is simply unintelligent. It is especially galling to see such knee-jerk stupidity in a forum dedicated to making corporations. The greatest engine of wealth mankind has ever invented are corporations unhindered by market manipulations. The one exception being rules against monopolization and labor-abuse — i.e, practices that undermine the existence of corporations.

3) Privacy in private is overrated

I received an amber alert on my phone a few days ago. If even one child could be saved from abominable acts of evil, even if it meant privacy was abolished in public and private, I for one would be willing to make that sacrifice. Yes, I’d be embarrassed. Yes, it would put an enormous weight on me to know that anyone could find out about anything I’d ever do or am doing. But for me, a society of truth is a society without a place for evil to hide — whether that evil is kidnapping or corporate corruption.

3) Privacy is going to be lost.

The war is over. We shouldn’t pretend that those who stand most to abuse privacy — the powerful — are the ones best suited to control their own behaviors. Laws won’t stop those passing the laws. Only unhindered permeation of technology will.

I recognize I’m saying something unconventional if not provocative. But when people are scared they make irrational decisions. I’ve never seen so much irrationality among the intelligent as when it comes to privacy. People’s “thinking” on this topic is akin to religious devotion, and that’s what scares me the most.
It does make me wonder if people from equatorial regions might have a different circadian rhythm than people from the extreme north. Might this dovetail with the (perplexingly simultaneous) perception of daytime "laziness" and an overactive nightlife of the global south?
Famines were mainly a result of British mismanagement of resources. This mismanagement peaked when World War 2 was the top priority (read: Bengal famine). The British were indeed sloppy when it came to the welfare of Indians and did enact some evil policies. They were imperialists after all. But there's no evidence that the British wanted to "wipe out" the native population.
> Working hard while thinking hard and taking risks has made me wealthy

I'm sure there are plenty of people who did the same and failed.

There are always many factors to consider but I would say the key one is luck. With a bit of luck you can easily miss one of the others (working hard for example) and still become successful.

> the majority of humankind is no longer poor or vulnerable to falling into poverty

This isn't a definition of middle-class I've ever encountered, the bar is surely a bit higher than simply 'not poor'.

They've used $11 PPP as the lower bound. That's totally ridiculous, in most of Europe that's not even liveable. Perhaps they mean discretionary income? That would make a bit more sense.

Otherwise, it seems like they've chosen figures such that middle class ~= median global income, which is a circular definition.
> But the software is awful. It's not poorly designed, necessarily, but it's buggy as hell.

Seconded. It was always crappy, but I recently switched to a 2019 model and expected it to be better. It isn't.

I'm amazed that in 2019/2020 we still have problems with keeping track of two driver profiles (yes!) and their phones. It's not rocket science!

A phone can stop working for no reason and require un-paring/re-connecting. The UX is crappy, Spotify integration works or does not, depending on the phase of the moon.

My car also came with Apple CarPlay, which was somewhat better but after a couple of weeks both phones stopped working with the car. The dealership told me I never had a CarPlay subscription (!), which means it must have been a demo. From the point of view of the user: phones worked nicely, until suddenly they stopped working, completely. Wasted time on dealership visits and unparing/re-connecting phones again.

Oh, and the much-touted feature that lets you unlock the car with an NFC card or your phone? Only works with Samsung phones.

I'm not sure if manufacturers get the fact that for a certain segment of customers phone integration is one of the most important features in the car. After my lease expires I will be shopping with that in mind.

> Starving fat doesn’t exist. If people choose to eat bad food that’s their choice.

We can't place blame fully on consumers. "Food deserts" are spreading while quality, variety and abundance of fresh food is decreasing. Meanwhile fast food is cheap, heavily marketed, and engineered for its addictiveness. In many areas poor people don't actually have much choice.

I have a related problem.

My tween son and I have been listening to Jack Benny radio programs for approximately two years. They're funny and clean, and mostly not problematic. And they're guaranteed to knock my son out at night.

The sad part is every single person associated with the show passed decades ago. We literally have no one to thank.

So, thank you Jack, Mary, Dennis, Rochester, Phil, and Don. You too Kenny, even though you kinda sucked.
Because those alternatives, while better at syntax + semantics part, are still quite immature at IDE + libraries + eco-system part.

For example, try to use Rust to implement a UWP component callable from .NET, interacting with the Visual Layer, while using mixed mode language debugging inside Visual Studio.
> Is there an explanation of how the project bridges the gap between dynamically-typed Ruby and statically-typed MIR?

My understanding is that MIR doesn’t tackle this problem, so the code does stay pretty dynamic when compiled, just like its sister project YARV MJIT.

They both need an intermediate profiling mode to specialise and monomorphise but nobody is building that as far as I know.

It's not really "their choice." Try eating well when you live 2km away from a grocery store, work 2 jobs and have to consider a bus ticket's impact on your budget. Unless you're very determined, you're going to have fast food.
This is where statistics are important to consider. If you do a task with a 20 percent chance of success but you do it 10 times, your chance of succeeding at least once becomes close to 100 percent. Many people balk at their first or second failure and stop trying, when the key is to keep trying over and over, learning and improving the entire way.
Acting/SAG is a pretty disingenuous example as everything is incredibly individualistic in that industry. Not to mention the fact that SAG doesn't negotiate individual contracts, just cast minimums. Not a single technical/profession union outside of Hollywood operates that way. Some will negotiate geographically but that's it.
>This is 90% of science these days, just keep tweaking numbers in the model until it fits with what you want to see.

If the result is immediately applicable to real world problems, like in this case, that's a perfectly valid approach.

In this case we just need the model to produce answers we can use -- how we made the model, what's in it, etc, we don't need to care.
I evaluated a bunch of team password managers last year.

Lastpass was really buggy and had a confusing UI. Dashlane also had odd limitations.

1password had a good UI but the "master key" system is difficult for users to use. It was also more expensive.

I ended up recommending Bitwarden. Surprisingly the open source option had a great UI and great clients, with the bonus of being open source on both ends.

A local-only storage solution with your own syncing is by far the best way. Also, storing low security passwords (eg Netflix) in chrome / iOS keychain seems like a pretty safe trade off to me.

People in academia are doing research in this area. Let me know if you want a PhD, I am hiring :)
I agree it will probably be use case based, but maybe not. It could be that at least one state bans using software to recognize faces. I believe San Francisco had to amend its facial recognition ban to allow the use of iPhones.

I also think a lot of people calling for a ban have not really thought through what would be banned. Do we ban models trained with triplet loss over any biometric data? Is it just specific entities that are banned from using it? Is it ok for Apple to build me an album of pictures of my wife and I? How do we define face recognition?

This is an incredibly complex and nuanced topic and it seems like many people discussing it just wave their hands without considering what the ramifications of any overly broad definition might lead to.

Luckily I'm technically minded, so it's not too hard to manage my GPG keys or manage syncing the git repo every now and then.

What it lacks in swish UI and automagically-configured browser extensions it gives in configurability, privacy, control over data, and freedom.

I wonder if there was a time in history where financial debt was not well understood. This would have to be either before the invention of algebra, or possibly also during a time of very poor education.
> enough discretionary expenditure to be considered “middle class”

I don’t think money makes you ‘middle class’. You can be a millionaire but working class, or destitute but upper class. Class is about things like background, education, tastes, social status and connections. Not cash.
It sounds like you would have preferred your community to stay poor? I think you need you need a dab of humility - let people make their own decisions. If they choose to eat crap and get fat, that’s not a reason to delay economic progress and take away individual freedom.

I would assume they charge you for extradition as part of your court fees. Similarly to my knowledge if you get deported or have to leave a country for visa reasons you have to pay for your own travel even though the date of departure is enforced by customs and/or law enforcement. Though fortunately I have never been extradited and I hope to keep it that way.
I don't know the specific detail of OP's position, but (all?) post-docs in the UK are members of the same pension scheme as all other academics in their institution. Your fundamental point is quite right--short-term contracts are a lousy and difficult game to play into middle-age.

Yes, agreed. You're creating a resource to do the orchestration built with particular rules, rather than creating and applying those rules directly. I'm not sure the distinction is significant though - ultimately the rules in CF determine your scale-up/scale-down behaviour, directly or indirectly.

Perhaps more to the point of the other poster: autoscale groups existed pre-containers and microVMs exist after, orchestration being orthogonal to containment tech.
>People find this stuff, it gets leaked eventually, with a law against it in place stopping it legally is a lot easier.

But my point is that government agencies can and do ignore these kinds of bans. Will passing new laws make any difference? Particularly if no one is held accountable, which is invariably the case.
Why Elixir Isn't Ruby
If you want to read a bit more from the mathematician himself on this very topic he wrote an accessible "pop-math" book about it, "Meta Math!: The Quest for Omega" though you'll need to look beyond the author's rather strange choices of metaphor (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/249849.Meta_Math_).

Fellow solo SaaS founder here. Congratulations! This is a fantastic milestone to reach, and not an easy one, in spite what many people think.

I am doubly impressed, because your product is B2C. I honestly don't know how to make money on B2C, it always turns out to be a money-losing proposition unless you have a huge market. I hope you will be able to make it work!
> Isn't the entire point of a community to have rules on how to behave inside or else we are kicked out?

We are typically talking about nations and states (which aren't necessarily the same thing). You are born into it and typically normally stay within it for the majority of your life. Community is one of those words that are commonly abused these days to the point it doesn't really mean anything.
Even with structural sharing you need to cheat. The program needs to feed that data structure into a black box that is mutating the actual hidden game-state.

Somewhere in the entire game pipeline there are mutations happening at 60 FPS, and pure FP languages hide this from you by "cheating" while other languages make this fact explicit.
I second Bitwarden. I have >130 120-character auto generated passwords stored and can rotate / regenerate my passwords with little hassle. Also love having the self hosting option available.
im not sure the "amateur" needs changing, it could be used to point more users to middle tier, we have something like that, where we call our first tier something that like that, and the second "smart" and people take the second one. also there is a decoy effect. we push our middle tier like that without "fake" most popular tier badge.
we don't have a free tier.
Check out the annual proceedings of conferences like POPL, PLDI, and CC.
I thought that too. Dials were more irritating because you had to move it juuuuusst right to get the time you wanted. It didn't help that it had acceleration, and that as you got higher it used bigger increments.

The best UX I've ever experienced on microwaves are restaurant microwaves and Danby microwaves.

Restaurant microwaves have programmable buttons and a space beside them to write what time is programmed in (or what recipe it is for). If you want a different time than the preprogrammed ones, then you press a time button and then punch in your time.

Danby's work similarly, you press a digit and you get that many minutes and it starts immediately. You press the +30sec and it adds 30 seconds. Simple, efficient, discoverable. Admittedly anything beyond the basics is a bit of a train wreck, but I'm okay pressing 1 instead of punching in 50 or 55 and then start when I want a bit less than one minute.

My current microwave only starts when you press start. The +30sec button will save you at MOST 1 button press ever, unless you want to add 30s to an already running microwave, which is more than I can say for my last rotary, where +1min would only work if you used it to start the microwave. If you used the dial, it didn't work.

Appliances have TERRIBLE UX, and I could go on about the good and bad things I have seen and been frustrated by.
If the flight termination system had been activated, the upper stage would have been unzipped by the same detonation cord. Since it hit the ocean intact we can presume the FTS was not activated.
While I fully agree that financial debt is easier to measure, and some forms of it are very easy to measure, I don't think it is always very easy to measure. Perhaps it may be a difference in what counts as debt, but I see many people engaging in decisions that require future payments without considering those payments at all, much less viewing them as debt. For example, getting a pet dog can have numerous costs associated with it but people don't always consider these as debt. And the average person (fully based on my own personal anecdotes) isn't going to be willing to give up the dog just because it is costing them money. So while there isn't a legal due that you can be taken to court for, I still think it counts as a form of debt.
>Many people balk at their first or second failure and stop trying

Or they run out of time or money.
a bit off topic shot in the dark here, but no one seems to be able to tell me so far. what kind of machine code a quantum computer would execute. is it a instruction set like any computer or does it contain a lot of weirdness (instructions mapping to insane kind of micro-op sequences or something?) is there any information out on that topic at all? i am assuming it would still be mapping some electrical 1/0 kind of values to machine code up to higher level languages, but the concept just makes my brain fart a bit when i think about it. it would be super interesting to learn about or read up on

Companies/event organizers ( this is treated as an event ) pay for this at the half day or day rate per police officer involved. The rate is different for patrol, sergant, lieutenant, captain, etc. There's a minimum number of s/l/c that must be present based on the number of patrolmen.
Fun color-theory fact for those not familiar: the print primary colors are the inverse of the light primary colors.

Cyan is white without red (#00FFFF), magenta is white without green (#FF00FF), and yellow is white without blue (#FFFF00). We use these colors because pigment absorbs different wavelengths of light, so we start with white and absorb (i.e.subtract) different amounts of red, green, and blue (the components of human eye-sight) instead of starting with black and adding them!

As an added bonus fact, black is all of the pigments at the same time, so we can just add black ink to the lowest of all three numbers then add up as needed. The actual math is waaaaaay more complicated because sight, pigment, and light are are bananas more complicated, but that's the gist.
If the "throttle down" before MaxQ fails? I would assume that Dragon would detect the anomaly and abort immediately, before the extra acceleration had time to increase velocity enough to cause an issue.

Dragon doesn't need Falcon 9 to throttle down to abort, the Falcon 9 needs to slow down a bit during MaxQ, but the instantaneous acceleration of the Falcon 9 during abort isn't supposed to matter.
This doesn't really seem worth it by any measure: "In return for 60-hour work-weeks, an operator might take home 5-7% of revenue (around $150-$250k per year)." That comes out to around $50 - $83/hour, a nice wage but isn't going to bring any vast amount of wealth
> Interesting to read this to see the Netflix perspective.

This isn't really a Netflix perspective. This is standard movie making 101 kind of information that Netflix just happened to have written down in an accessible way (at least for well funded productions where you can properly staff the required roles). This document writes down the basic conversation between a DP/DIT/editor/colorist should all have before the first frame is ever shot/cut/graded. Sadly, this doesn't always happen. How many Netflix productions must have had issues that they felt the need to produce this document?

It is interesting that the movie studio that is paying for the production is a very technically savvy studio and it is clear that they are trying to future proof their content. Based on this article alone, I would also assume that they have other articles dictating minimum resolutions/frame rates/etc that they will allow their content to be shot.

825 days is the limit. It's enforced in, for example, Chrome, if a certificate claims to have been issued after this rule changed and it lasts longer than 825 days Chrome considers the certificate bogus immediately.

Certificate Authorities use the difference between 825 days and two years to offer certificate renewal weeks prior to the expiry date while keeping your "extra" days. e.g. your certificate expires 17 February 2020 but you renew today for two years, they can issue a cert which expires 17 February 2022 because that's less than 825 days in the future, if the rule was a hard two years they couldn't do that.

As to how you'd fix this: One option is firmware updates. After all a device which goes two years without firmware updates is also not in good shape, so you could arrange with a CA to bake certificate renewal into the firmware update process. At scale it would totally make sense for a CA to offer to issue renewals at say 10¢ per device renewal for up to ten years from inception date.

The certificate issuance does not require knowledge of the private key, that stays on each individual device, renewal just issues a newer cert periodically to the same device for use with its existing key.
Yep, I saw this and immediately felt vindicated for the move to BitWarden.

My only fault with it is that it's missing the "icon" in the inputs to click-and-fill as LastPass has, but I believe that's on the BitWarden backlog.

Still, I'd take having to press Cmd+Shift+Y over not being able to see access keys or er... any of my passwords.
