I don’t quite understand the desire for friends or family traveling together to exit the airplane at the same time and hold up others as a result.

Airports have waiting areas between arrival gate and passport control, probably precisely to let passengers traveling together catch up with each other. Even the worst possible airport would have a bathroom, and toilet entrances are implicitly a waiting (queueing) areas.

Unfortunately, introducing any sort of rigid structure and order into airplane disembarkation process sounds like an impossible task.

Let's say we have machines that will produce an unlimited quantity of any good that is currently on the market today. We put one in every house, since that machine can also produce copies of itself. Does this mean nobody have to work?

You still need doctors. You still need police. You still need yoga instructors. Plumbers. Somebody to fix your internet. And the need to pay those people means you will still need to find a way to earn money. Plus, land is still expensive because physics, and now that people can afford to pay more, landlords will charge more. Want higher density? Zoning is also not free. Nor are architects and builders.

All that happens is that goods are excluded from the economic system, but the system will keep going. The prices for still-limited services will simply go up to the point where you will still need to work 40 hour weeks to afford them.

I don't think I can really do this question justice in an off-the-cuff comment on Hacker News. Your framing of the question suggests to me that there would be a great deal of ground to cover to try to get you to see the problem space the way I see the problem space.

I've made a note of it in a draft. Perhaps I will find the words someday and address it, at least somewhat, in a post on Street Life Solutions.

PWAs won't work for every use case, and can make some more difficult. However, ChromeOS _tends_ to support Android applications, so they're where the replacement lies.

But, to answer some of your questions:

> - run offline (probably yes by caching ServiceWorkers)?

Yes. And that's how. Mostly via storage mechanisms for data, like localStorage or IndexedDB, or network mechanisms like the Cache API.

> - use compiled code through WASM? (I assume of course yes, and so I don't need PNaCl)

Yes, and you have been able to for a few years. I can't find the day the switch went over for ChromeOS in particular, but since at least 2017. There doesn't look like any plans to remove it, and that wouldn't make sense at this point.

- access the network? or only protocols like HTTP that you can get to on the normal web? (again, what if I distribute my app as an extension?)

JS tends to only speak HTTP/S and WebSockets. So far as I know, you don't have access to a raw socket with extensions. There are some ways to get FTP working, and other text-based protocols, but they're not guaranteed to always work, because they are workarounds.

It's generally phrased that a decrease in alkaline is due to acidification (an increase in acid) and vice versa. The average ph is not specifically relevant.
The pilots probably screwed up. But just as a point of order, it's possible that they thought they weren't going to need to dump fuel at this time early on when ATC asked about it, but then the situation deteriorated on the way in to the airport and they had to lose weight quickly to get a safe landing. It's not possible to find out whether the pilots' actions were justified without actually talking to the pilots and knowing what the plane was doing.

ATC are not the air police and it is possible to perform many actions in the name of landing safety without their knowledge or permission.

(When I read that 60 people were injured I imagined something horrific; in reality, no-one had to go to the hospital, they just had to wash with soap.)

One curious guy had repos with seemingly auto generated daily commits. Just text files, no code. It may have been class notes I guess, but it looked suspicious I reccommended not hiring. Company hired him. He was awful and had to be let go after a few months.

> The compilation target has nothing to do with the relative safety of the language

Yes, obviously. Almost as though the fact that all languages end up as x86 or ARM opcodes at the end of the day has literally nothing to do with the merits and demerits of their respective type systems, but people keep bringing it up like some kind of gotcha when type systems get criticized.
The guy who works for the Turkish aviation company claims that he was threatened with his family being harmed if he doesn't participate in the operation. Considering that he is in jail for his participation, it is fair to assume that he is not one of the well-paid-identity-protected people in the operation and he did what he did to protect his family.

I am not very comfortable with glorifying this story, why exactly this guy's life and family is more important than the airline professional's?

Although I would watch the movie about it, this whole ordeal feels wrong as it resembles a story where justice is only for the wealthy and collateral damage to unrelated people's lives is O.K. as if those people are not real humans but NPC that just vanish when you're done with them.
Not necessarily. They may have no knowledge of the smuggled cargo on their vessel. Without knowledge or intent it's hard to argue they are guilty of smuggling by mere ownership.

Multiple implementations is a great way to highlight issues in the spec vs reality (assumptions, unspecified behavior, etc). If you only have one implementation, the implementation becomes the spec and you end up with people targeting compatibility for that rather than a specification.

This happened with Cisco routers back in the day, Juniper had to add a flag to make a routing protocol compatible with Cisco because Cisco implemented it wrong but had so much dominance that Juniper had no choice if they wanted to get in the game.
Do you think it's an effective and economical way to get free-trial signups?
You have your organic and paid channels in place and the flow is like;

- You create a message, post or push it through channels. The channels give impressions to your messages.

- The impressions could be paid or on the opportunity cost (organic). Then it serves traffic (heterogeneous) to the product. They may signup for the trial or not.

- Still, you get charged on the basis of CPC or CPC either for new or repeat users with different email addresses created just to avail of free trials.

- The traffic then signups for free-trial (activation).

- Then you get subscribers (25%-30% of the free-trial signups) converted after activation.

Why SaaStraQ?
1. You are visible to a niche audience without any cost.

2. If users are interested they directly try your products through OneClick (API Integration needed) feature. That means you get a pre-verified product signups.

3. It minimizes the repeat trial signups through different email addresses created to game the system.

Many source routed networks work fine, including Tor. All MPLS usage is source routed. Source routing isn't used for _IP_ (generally) but for reasons which have nothing to do with 'scale'.
And the guys that implement smart pointers are what, exactly? Uberprogrammers? Is there a certificate to get into that club? What about compiler authors, that deal with, gasp, optimizations of these bare pointers? Kernel developers? Embedded system engineers?

* Firefox has a comparable reputation for their browser engine.*

Is this really true? someone posted somewhere(can't find it) where it shows Firefox has a worst security record compared to Chrome.

Why he would be caught when the others are not? The guy was not caught in a police chase, they simply looked at the records to see who is involved.

If he was getting his fair share of the money and protection he would have been boarding the plane with the rest of the team as it is obvious that the authorities would be coming after him.

Why they are coming after him? Because Ghosn entered Lebanon legally, exposing the plane he came in, thus compromising everyone in the logistics of the operation while protecting the reportedly well-paid organizers.

This Ghosn guy looks like the kind of a car company CEO that would crunch the number and decide not to do a recall of the fatally faulty cars if the legal fees are less than the cost of a recall.

When I said small I was thinking more about <$250k a year in revenue. At that size I think the companies would be small enough that their lobbying wouldn't matter.

If you're in the millions a year in revenue then I don't see how understanding and complying with GDPR would be a large barrier. Even $250k might be too high.

This happened in 2011-2015 when Google was investing looooooooots of money in Chrome and Mozilla was betting the farm on FirefoxOS. Since then, Mozilla has improved Firefox a lot, but it's hard to compete with a company that has a way larger budget on essentially the same product.

Is it really glorifying it? The article doesn't exactly make Ghosn sound like a hero to me.

> But as Ghosn’s speech went on, entropy took hold. He jumped rapidly from allegation to allegation at a pace that was difficult to follow even for observers versed in the latest Ghosniana. At one point he committed the No. 1 faux pas for foreigners in Japan, comparing his arrest to the attack on Pearl Harbor. There were flashes of arrogance, with Ghosn describing Nissan as “in the dirt” before he arrived and boasting that “20 books of management were written about me.” He devoted a significant stretch of time to a relatively minor issue—whether his comped use of a room at Versailles for his 2016 wedding celebration constituted a sort of kickback for Renault’s sponsorship of the palace—providing a convoluted explanation that he later summed up with, “If I had thought there had been an ethical problem, I wouldn’t have done it.”
Have you looked at how apps on the app stores are monetized? The only ones with a lot of success that charge upfront are big existing names or rare exceptions.

This is a classic example of we vs. them, I guess there will always be people with kids who think the same as you so it might not only be about perspective. My conclusion is that kids are their own beings and they are prone to behaviours that is not the norm in society, we all just have to adjust to that, you can't really reason with children.

I find that being sleepless and being hungery affects my mood a lot, I believe these are things that families can have a hard time regulating, so my bar for the expected behaviour from families is set a lot lower than for young adults. Just because I know they have a hard time.

Sure obnoxious people get families too so there is always a chance that they really are entitled.
Of course there are. They also pay next to nothing and you're likely limited in scope in networks. Even then you need to be able to figure out that the ad network is actually keeping their promises. Remember that we're not talking about operations where you an just hire someone to do that. We're talking about operations where essentially you would have to figure all of that out and often take personal responsibility that you did figure it out properly.
The irony here is you both talking about "Microsoft and Apple" as if the famous difference in their text file structures, newline conventions, was not there, and that we lived in an alternative reality where there were "portable raw text files" enabled by Microsoft and Apple.
I just don’t see how you get to dictate to people what products they are allowed to develop, what terms they are allowed to sell them on and how they are or are not allowed to make money. As long as the customer has a range of choices and understands what the deal is, it’s up to them whether to accept it or not.

Im all for consumer protection from harmful or misleading, or abusive products but I just don’t see this here. It just seems like you are upset that someone didn’t develop their product the way you want them to, and resent how popular they are. Tough. Develop one that way yourself, or pay someone else to. I don’t get to tell Ford what kinds of car they are or are not allowed to make. As long as they are safe and perform as advertised, that’s up to them.

As fro consoles, even a $100 price difference in the price can kill a product, they are incredibly price sensitive. Trippling or quadruping the price of consoles would almost certainly kill the category, putting them beyond the financial means of huge swathes of consumers that can't afford such a steep up front cost. But apparently that's your decision to make.
> And the guys that implement smart pointers are what, exactly? Uberprogrammers? Is there a certificate to get into that club? What about compiler authors, that deal with, gasp, optimizations of these bare pointers? Kernel developers? Embedded system engineers?

One cannot do any of those things safely by hand. Compilers, kernels, and embedded systems do indeed do these things; they also have bugs.
unique_ptr does not have any memory overhead. (unless you use a custom deleter, but even then you could use one which does not use memory)

Anyone want to take a stab at how malloc actually works? What’s under the hood? What data structures and algorithms does it use?
Like I have said elsewhere, Haskell and Rust and other such languages actually force you (to varying degrees) to write programs that are soundly typed at compile time. TypeScript explicitly doesn't, and instead treats program types in a way that's far more like Java or C# (which rely on both compile time and runtime type checking to enforce a program's types, and even at that are not entirely sound) without the runtime type checking to back it up.

> Typescript could do the same if they desired, and in fact I think they offer the option.

They very explicitly do not and have stated severally that it is not within the goals of the project to do so, which is something anyone actually familiar with the language should know.

> Compiling a language with a type system to a language without is not a knock against that language's type system

When you don't cherry-pick statements out of context, the point of what I said becomes rather obvious; if a language doesn't actually guarantee type safety at compile time, having a primary compilation target that takes a fascinatingly lax approach to data types is objectively worse (wrt type safety) than having one that's more strict.
