I don't follow your logic. AirBnB will be fine even though nobody wants to use their service, but Bird/Lime won't be fine because nobody wants to use their service?

I'd be much more comfortable using a scooter because I can just wipe down the handles. I have no idea what's going on in someone else's house, and in my experience AirBnB hosts are pretty shitty about cleaning up their properties even though they make you pay for it.
One thing that would be helpful to me is to get a list of the re-stocking times for my local stores. I know that my local City Target gets restocked at 11am every day. And that a Walgreens down the street gets restocked on Tue and Fri nights so Wed/Sat mornings are when to get in line early to get some of the tough-to-find goods. This could be crowd-sourced like the rest of the app or an appointed business owner could be verified or introduce a superuser/moderator role for people to get karma based off of verified submissions.
My point was that hard and fast startup tactics don't guarantee success (WRT the starship project), and mostly have little to do with whether a project succeeds or fails at all.
>Designing a new internet is counterproductive to Chinese international sales of telco equipment and therefore also to building Chinese influence. And as far as domestic internet is concerned, they have a pretty firm handle on that already, without designing a new one

I dont want to derail things into politics. But that sentence is clear thoughts of not understanding what the CCP actually wants. It is not counter productive to sales equipment to a new standard built and owned by Chinese, they will get a upper hand on that, and new equipment sales, not to mention internally they will be very loud about how they built the new Internet.

i.e It is exactly everything the CCP wants.
Gotta throw on one more to the pile here. My wife and I have had one episode left for a while now, not sure if/when we'll watch it. Mostly I'm wondering why they didn't just shrink this down to 1.5 hours of content. We basically knew about all the crazy stuff from the trailer.

Unfortunately this isn’t true. This is what it looks like when the cartel (OPEC) isn’t artificially constraining supply.

My general attitude towards web scraping is that if I, as a user, have access to a piece of data through a web browser, the site owners have no grounds to object to me using a different program to access the data, as long as I’m not putting more load on their servers than a user clicking all the links would.

Obviously, there may be legal repercussions for scraping, and you should follow such laws, but those laws seem absurd to me.

Oh yea I've heard plenty of horror stories with clothing shops too; I worked at a chain very similar to CVS, one of the smaller stores in the district but some of the highest foot-traffic. My only solace from and during those times was that many of the people that I worked with and met through there were truly amazing, and I remain great friends with most of them today--it's definitely an environment that can evoke a brothers-in-arms type of feel
The damage in that case is real though. People and businesses are impacted by price shocks and preventing them is an important thing for the government to do. As for the pricing signal, it's not like the businesses in question would just leave their pipelines broken, they're bleeding money from not being able to sell.

Certainly blocking pricing mechanisms without any additional government source of supply (I'm looking at you, preventing scalping during disasters) is potentially harmful, but I don't see the harm when they government can step in to meet demand.
I’ve been wondering about this. It would be especially interesting if, after we come out of lockdown, we could sample sewage at many points as the sewer comes together. You might be able for example to identify an infected block and then go around to give individual swabs to each resident if the block came up positive.

Yeah, I lost a bit of respect for Stross' intelligence when I read that part about elite panic.

Not screen sharing, something equivalent to Windows Remote Desktop Services or X11 forwarding, where your device acts as a thin client for an application running on a remote server. It's expressly prohibited by the Apple guidelines, presumably because any such client would allow someone to compete with the app store by using remote apps. But it's also useful for other things, like keeping all your data on your company's trusted servers instead of on a device that could be lost or stolen.

There is are existence proofs that you are wrong.

Should I continue?

It doesn't use a service because the entire point is to not have all your data in the hands of a service. On Android it stores the backup in the filesystem which you copy off the device via USB

You know Apple supports standard USB storage devices now right?

There should obviously be a permission required to do that, but if the user wants to use the app to view their files, they should be able to use the app to view their files.

They can. It’s called the “Files” app. It’s built into iOS.

This is the problem with Apple deciding everything for everybody. Some people have really stringent security requirements and don't want their data leaving their device, someone else wants a copy of all the data from every app to be backed up to some third party cloud service. But Apple restricts things to such an extent that you can't choose to do either one.

You mean you can’t attach a standard USB device to iOS and the App Store data on it? You know that feature was added in iOS 13?

Which is a fully generic counterargument, because you can make any app a web page and then do whatever you want on the web page. That's total cheat when you're asking for things there are no iOS apps for

I thought the favorite Anti-
Apple talking point was that Apple forced everyone to create apps instead of using the “open web”?

There are plenty of Android only games, like Doom 3.

There is no official port for Android either. There is an unofficial port for iOS and Android....

You must realize the equivalent to this would be Google apps for Android that don't exist on iOS, which there are several of

How is the equivalent of anything? Microsoft has been writing software for Apple platforms since the original AppleSoft Basic in 1980.

Every news source does sensational reporting and gives us conflicting information day by day. They do not report anything useful at this point. It's mindless. It's Orwellian. It's different depending on the network you listen to. The opinions change every day, all the leaders and corrupt, in every nation, and all we get are pieces of bullshit.

The truth of all of this won't be known until at least two years out looking back, studying the news from this era. I do not think history will look kindly back on this moment. I think the future will hold 2020 as a cautionary tale, of how even when the dangers are real, we can still be susceptible to hysteria on a truly global scale.

Is It O.K. To Be a Luddite? [1984 Thomas Pynchon]
My way of learning and exploring something new (to me) is to ignore the bizarre and tedious system specific stuff that you mention. I have never even seen COBOL code before. Toy programs that I can easily run on my own computer are more than enough to satisfy my casual (and short-lived) curiosity.
Here are a few notable solutions that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

- https://getpolarized.io/

- https://www.zotero.org/

- https://archivebox.io/ (+ Pocket/Pinboard/bookmarks for aggregation)
Site standards would play a huge part, you can write code without using GOTO in COBOL fine, and some programmers loved JSP (Jackson Structured Programming), yet modifying that code would make things open to whoever modified it and so the nuances and quirks of the programmer play out and code that has had many years of evolving standards and programming styles can be a right nasty mess that always begs a rewrite but the budget is for the change and no time for the rewrite. So the legacy snowballs.

Hence not all code equal and the site standards and that history as well as knowing that can make an almighty difference.

Never had copybook issues with ICL or Honeywell BULL platforms ;). That would be an IBM thang, but then, is there anything else still running - probably.

You could write a script called, say, "," that does this. ", sc" could invoke the second "sc" command in your $PATH, and ",, sc" could invoke the third. (What to do if there's only one "sc" in $PATH is left as an exercise.)
A widely spread and aged idea doesn’t make it any less wrong.
If anyone is interested in this type of exercise, you may want to check out Scott Sonnon and his club bell work outs. The company is called RMAX, and the programs are called “circular strength training”. I am not affiliated, but I knew someone who was a big fan and customer.

My friend was really into it many years ago (he has since become less active). He taught me a few basic things, and I really enjoyed the workouts.

Fair warning — RMAX is a typical modern workout marketing company — you will get lots of e-mail, so you might want to make a unique e-mail address for any products you buy. Some folks sound like cultists when they talk about him and his workouts, although that may be more their issue than his. All that said, the materials I read seemed to have some historical references (India, Iran, lots of strongmen around the world, etc., but I didn’t check the accuracy). The workouts were very good for me.
You can absolutely raise a family in the SFBA on less than $300k of household income. (Source: me). You think everyone with kids in this region of 3.6m people is pulling down that kind of money?

Things are significantly more just in time than they were then. Companies hold debt, minimize cash, and minimize inventory, optimizing for efficiency and not robustness and this is an event well outside the likely operating parameters of even the most conservative and careful finance teams.

My grandparents used to do their shopping monthly, they had a store room, they had a crazy amount of food. Until recently I went shopping a couple times a week.

Companies have been doing a similar thing -- once all the inventory is gone, the cash has paid salaries and you can't get a loan to rebuy (your suppliers are in a similar boat anyway) what do you even do? That's going to be the issue with getting things rolling again if this goes on long enough to kill off a large percentage. Right now, the weakest/newest companies are being culled and people arent really noticing - the BKs will get bigger with each passing week - most companies just aren't set up to run like this and starting back up could be a challenge. (I fully expect another massive stimulus/SBA program to be needed after a solution to this exists, I think they shot their shot on companies too early and should have focused on individual relief and just allowed the normal debt/BK cycle to play out - were just making the bubble a bit bigger in my opinion).
Many Lisp REPLs require you to prefix REPL metacommands with a comma. This helps distinguish between metacommands and variables to be evaluated, because the comma is the unquote operator to the Lisp reader, and is unlikely to occur in a Lisp expression outside a quasiquoted sexpr.

This is not true.

Go to any city or border crossing in Colombia, Ecuador, or Peru and you will find masses of Venezuelan people, many of whom are fleeing their country after having spent years selling their belongings just to have enough money to pay for food. I met a former central bank economist who was running a hamburger stand in Ecuador. I met a former marine biologist who was selling hawking at events in Peru. I met a baker who told me that his family decided to leave Venezuela when they discovered that someone broke into their bakery through a ventilation shaft just to steal some bread dough, and took nothing else -- not even cash.

When I was in Caracas five years ago, I couldn't even find a single bottle of water for sale in the airport. They just didn't have any. Believe it or not, the country has gotten worse since then.

At the time, I wondered why the US is so happy to wage simultaneous wars in the Middle East, yet would not declare a no-fly zone over Venezuela and fly airdrop missions to put food and medicine into population centers.

Venezuela is run by a bus driver. The state oil conglomerate is run by his political party, and headed by a military officer with no formal engineering, geological, or business experience.

I don't blame you for thinking everything is about oil, after what has happened in the Middle East. But Venezuela is a latch point for US adversaries like Russia to operate in the Americas, its people are starving, and the leader jokes about how Venezuelans are on the "Maduro diet" of eating nothing at all while he himself travels to Turkey to smoke cigars while Salt Bae serves up steaks. It's not a socialist country; it's a place where the government steals everything that isn't nailed down while throwing some table scraps to the military, the police, and the poorest of the urban poor...three groups that can incite fear in the rest of the citizenry.

You are quick to accuse people of distributing propaganda. However I would not be surprised, given the timing of your comment several days after this submission fell far off the HN front page, if you yourself are engaged in some kind of state-backed info war. Almost all of your comments on HN are about political positions. If you don't like accusations of nefariousness being leveled at you, then you should be mindful of your own accusations.

If in fact you are just a regular person, then think about whether your ideology is really brought to fruition in countries where kleptocratic authoritarians have unchecked power. Venezuela is not an example of socialism. Rather, it is a cesspool of cronyism.
