It's kind of brilliant at letting you rediscover many of these concepts, and also just a great sandbox for demonstrating these ideas. Nice tool to have on your phone.

Definitely need that font size option! ... or, better, just good dynamic autoscaling based on f(text_length, box_size, zoom_level) and maybe a font size override option for static association.

Also need a drag feature for increasing island size, not just click. I would like to be able to create a large island quickly, like using a paintbrush almost. Even if I don't have notes to populate it with anytime soon.

Really love all this though.
Interesting. We didn't look at this closely since we liked the numpy/scipy/sagemath tools, but we should have realized this put clojure ahead of java. Especially java's 2009 features and syntax.
We have some really great stories here. When we were first testing the model, we had a phone number on our site that said you could store your stuff in locations all around the city. Someone called and asked for a location in the Upper East Side. I said we have some spots scheduled to open there next month but let me see if they can open earlier. Can I call you back in 30 minutes? Then I called stores in that area until I found one that said yes. Then I'd connect the dots, onboard them to our platform, and off we'd go. That's how we got many of our first locations.
Why not just go to your local library and print for $0.10/page or whatever? Our library is super small and still supports WiFi printing (I assume with a credit card to release print jobs). For photos, I go to Costco or the local pharmacy, which seems to always have decent photo printers.

If you can plan ahead a little, you don't ever need to actually have a printer on hand.

However, if you print frequently, a B&W laser printer is probably a worthwhile investment. I bought one when my wife needed to do immigration paper work and it has been great. We still use it quite frequently to print out coloring sheets or whatever for my kids, as well as for sending in the occasional form. I haven't needed to buy a new toner cartridge, and I have printed around 1000 pages and it still prints as clearly as the day I bought it. I think we've spent about the same as printing at our library, but from the convenience of our home, and I've used the scanner function several times, as well as the bulk copy feature (insert stack of paper and it copies them all).

If you only print occasionally (1-2x/year), check out your local library or office supply store. If you print more frequently, a laser printer is most likely what you want, especially if you only need black and white. If you print a lot of color, maybe getting a color inkjet is worthwhile if you like the look of ink over toner. Most people shouldn't own an inkjet printer.
Bacteria in a sealed container will reproduce until all resources are consumed. Then they drop to anemic levels or die out entirely. Humans live in a relatively closed system. And modern technology sits atop a very fragile foundation. All that to say past evidence does indicate technology generally gets better, but not necessarily forever.

> ...the National Guard would just steamroll right on through them...

Even assuming that they could do this (which is plausibly quite wrong, as defense tactics can be very effective), what's the incentive? The people who serve in the National Guard are citizens themselves (who have sworn to uphold the Constitution) and every bit of effective defense makes it that much easier for them to defect while keeping plausible deniability. By contrast, if you've confiscated all the guns away (or bought them back) that dynamic just can't happen, at least not nearly as easily.

The presence of an armed citizenry does make for a huge difference in this scenario. No doubt about it.

Well, TCAS works great in an ideal world.

When you mix civil and military planes, and ATC and pilots who are non-native English speakers, and when your TCAS can be broken, then you get accidents like the German or Brazil collisions.

In the military regime, you must follow orders. In the US civil aviation world, the pilot in command is the final authority and can deviate from any ATC order, with possible paperwork and/or consequences.

Although English is the official language for international flying, local ATC and pilots use their local languages.

There was a scandal in Hawaii when one flight school targeting Japanese students was issuing FAA licenses to pilots who couldn't understand English.

Does the Trump administration and the rest of the US have a policy? To me it looks like chaos. US government is directed by a real-estate and tv guy. He would have difficulties locating Russia on a map and at the same time claims to be the best expert in military, strategy, trade, health care, basically everything.

If it is not clear, the US for the last two decades is not moving forward, but backwards in international politics. Trump has exposed this even more.

Trying as a strategy to contain Russia is simply not going to work and the US really needs a massive upgrade in political brains, and not more weapons.

Not for software development. I'm sure there are plenty of industries where this is true. Software just isn't one of them. In fact, I'd argue the opposite for most software companies. They suffer from poor work and poor working conditions due to locating everyone in one location.

Interesting. Choosing languages to get work done in the 2010s has insulated my team from a lot of these historical forces; interpreted and garbage collected has always been more than fast enough. I can see how earlier businesses would choose a different route.
Yes, I agree! I merely think you overvalue C++ in this case. There's lots of C/C++ code that most people can't understand either -- and not for lack of knowing the language.

Apropos of nothing, I found Peter Naur's "Programming as Theory Building" [1] an enjoyable read on the topic of maintaining software after the original developers depart.

Their pricing page really bothers me:

> Therefore, we really can't afford to spend time and figure out the best way to take money from you.

I really dislike this trend of "formulating a business plan for our business isn't important for us". It's supposed to come off as "we care so much about delivering a great product that we don't care about money" but once you remove the stigma about making money (you're a for profit business, you should be making money. It's a good thing. There's no shame in that) it just comes off lazy. Designing a pricing system and monetizing strategy is just as much a part of making a product as designing the frontend or the tech, and all that directly affects me as a user.

It doesn't really inspire me to try it if I have no idea if their pricing will be something I'm ok with or if their product won't exist because they didnt think coming up with a business plan was important.
If you destroy a yield sign, the system will immediately know because all the cars previously recorded it.
Experiences tell us, when someone makes a comment that something may __never__ happen, she probably is wrong. Our current transportation infra is designed for our current transportation tools. Full self-driving cars require a revolution of urban design and transportation infra. Long-term wise I think these will happen for sure.

>> If it was that easy to make a superplant, evolution would have already figured it out.

Dont be so sure. It seems like nitrogen fixing plants could get out of control, and evolution hasn't produced them yet.

Sexual reproduction allows improvements from diverging lineages to combine in a single offspring. But only if they haven't diverged too far. Genetic engineering may bring beneficial feature from vary different species, or in this case kingdoms.

If a nitrogen fixing plant took over the world an obvious way to target it would be to aim at the nitrogen pathway, but then we might kill most of the bacteria our food supply depends on.

Having said that I think this work is a good idea, but if I can conceive of a way for it to go wrong I'm sure nature could come up with many more.
Great points, but can't you tweak the idea somehow by also buffering individual participants? I could imagine a service here could be worth a lot more than ~$10 user.

This is only needed for micropayments so a buffer of like $5-10 could be fine if you could somehow otherwise otherwise verify the user / monetize the relationship. Best way I can think of that preserves privacy is to serve image only ads through the payment network in an appropriately boxed window every time you add a tip to the randomized micropayment scheme.
A good way to jump over the low level implementation details is to look at Factor. Forth style but much better library and most of the low level constructs are baked in.

I can't say the documentation / tutorials that I've found are the best but it's definitely something.

I think you'd have to hobble Forth pretty badly to make it stand on the same level as Lisp. Lisp has too much hidden machinery- a garbage collector, environment structures, etc. You couldn't even represent forth's "/mod" without resorting to packing results into tuples. Forth is good because every piece of the compiler/interpreter is exposed, usable, and extensible. Lisp wants to keep its innards sealed off and abstracted from the hardware.
Which university? I've never been on a major college campus where it was even possible to park near the classroom buildings, much less practical.

I assume there are some baseball fans here on HN ...

This is, in my opinion, a watershed moment here for how Baseball is going to deal with technology. After the Moneyball "revolution" lots of people, both in the game and casual fans, talked about how technology would again "revolutionize" the sport[0]. Things like player evaluations and injury prediction + prevention were what was mostly talked about (this was back in ~2014-2015 or so). There really hasn't been much talk about this since then, as far as I can tell, or it's been kept as a trade secret by teams. What's happened with this Astros scandal is something else entirely. This was not the future of the game we wanted, and there will need to be a philosophical discussion had in short order about what we're going to allow in the future (what they did was not).

Complicating all of this is that Houston winning the last game of the season in 2017 was largely viewed as a "victory" for the stats nerds over the traditionalists[1], and was predicted in 2014[2]. So the idea that the "technology" they used to do this wasn't just learning things other teams couldn't about their own players, but essentially a gimmick to steal signs not only casts a shadow on the integrity of the game but also calls into question the methodology itself to a certain extent - though to be honest I think the argument is pretty much over at this point on stats vs traditionalists.

Depends on the airport. There are plenty of uncontrolled fields out there which definitely rely on inbound aircraft to sort themselves out.
That airport is part-time towered, so air traffic control does own the airspace but only when the tower is open. When the tower is closed, it reverts to an uncontrolled (or pilot-controlled) airport with insanely high landing fees (so few airplanes actually land and almost no one would land at 6:55 rather than wait the extra 5 minutes).

So, while it's pilot controlled, we self-announce and negotiate with the other airplanes and plan our pattern so as to be on a 1-2 mile final when the tower opens. (Think of it as the aviation equivalent of a four-way stop sign or rotary which drivers self-navigate every day.)

"Attention all aircraft, Bedford tower is now open; class Delta airspace in effect" "Bedford Tower, Bugsmasher 1234 2 mile final, Runway 29" "Bugsmasher 1234, Runway 29, cleared to land." "Tower, Bugsmasher 97Victor, 3 mile left base for Runway 29" "Bugsmasher 97Victor, #2 following company traffic over the numbers, Runway 29, cleared to land."

Meanwhile, everyone who insisted on the curfew had to hear the bug smashers circling for 5-10 minutes previously.
I think it's pretty clear that mass transit and (e-)bikes--not cars--should become the primary modes of transportation, at least in urban areas, if for no other reason than that they're inherently more sustainable. I would be concerned that self-driving cars will only arrive after Peak Automobile has already come and gone.
But cars will recognize that something changed and validate it.

I still don't really understand. Unless the 737 was about to crash land right on top of the 330, it must have turned right well before the airport. If the 330 took off, it would have been a few kilometers beyond the airport before it turned right itself. I just can't visualize this 800m thing. If the 737 was so close it's go round intersected a plane that took off, this story really should read "737 narrowly averts crash landing into an airbus that was mistakenly let onto runway". Smells like a coverup to me.
At this second, I'd have to say that Microsoft is incredibly appealing to me.

Why? Microsoft has somehow turned its image around after being loathed by developers and users alike forever. None of it was a fluke either. They became a far more developer friendly, open-source friendly company, and they've also done a ton of things no one would have believed 10-15 years ago.

Linux on Windows? A browser based on Chromium? OSS collaboration and support? Providing the best damn code editor on Earth for the price of 'on the house'? These are all insane when you consider Microsoft of the past, and these are just a few things they've done to win back developers. They're doing the same thing in the Xbox division and Azure.

They're heading in a positive direction while it seems like everyone else is going to the dark side. I hope the trend continues because I'm really enjoying seeing Microsoft using their resources for this sort of thing. Not to mention, they're making cool shit like xCloud and Hololens.

It just seems like a really great place to be currently.
Train definitely does not go "everywhere" in Japan, and one of the problems he mentioned (late night) is especially relevant there even in Tokyo.
Reasonable concerns but I don't think we offer anything inherently new for terrorists. They don't need our service to carry out attacks today. There are easier ways to leave a bomb, drugs, etc without your ID / payment info attached.

Agree. By the numbers, there are about 500 airports in the US with control towers (some are part-time). There are over 20,000 airports without control towers in the US.
They reach out to people, but those people end up in the same bucket as everyone else.
