Yes, while crucially, making your plane safe enough to fly.

From the HN rules: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

I'll have you know, I'm Nth generation American, never lived anywhere else. My American identity, however, is emphatically not wrapped up in this one particular company. I can be honest when it's faltering and not doing well without feeling like I'm letting down my national identity. Can you?

This storied history you're referring to is the old Boeing. The new Boeing (the one taken over in a reverse merger by McDonnell Douglas business people) isn't doing so great.
My parents used to run a produce market agency in Sydney. Their clients were banana farmers and their customers were national supermarket chains.

From what I remember, not much was ever wasted and trashed out of their warehouses. Any bananas that couldn't be sold in supermarkets due to quality or size issues, were sold to bakers and smaller market retailers, and anything left after that was sold as animal feed.
As a white male whose gone genetically bald at 25, I'm pretty sure I've ended up being a "diversity" hire multiple times.

And NO, I do not have plans to pay for products or scams to "get my hair back". Oddly, since flat out shaving my head I've gotten much more respect and positive looks from women compared to when I was still "in denial". The world is indeed a weird place.
Police shootings in the U.S. do not happen because Nazis get to speak in the U.S.
Here in Europe the official government propaganda in February/March was that masks were entirely useless. Like you, I thought that was nonsense.

Now in May one is required to wear toy masks in supermarkets (scarf is also allowed). The official propaganda says they are effective.

Government at work. The bailouts have already begun.

@ericax, Thanks for this product. I have a lot of notes in Jupyter notebooks that contain chunks of markdown. Would be great if your product works with Jupyter notebooks.
Ah, I see - the "inferred/omitted type parameter" is the part I was missing. Really no different than Arrays.asList in my previous comment. Thanks!
Generally speaking, I find that at most supermarkets dairy, eggs and meat is at the back, because they are intentionally designed to make you walk through other things to try and squeeze in more purchases when things catch your eye. And this was true when I've lived in the NE and in the PNW.
I believe that was a bit on South Park.
I was sad to discover that the “negotiable cow” story is fictional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Inland_Revenue_v_Hadd...

The principle is true enough though: a check is just an order to pay a certain amount of money from a certain account to a certain person: https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/3/3-104 It doesn’t need to be in the standardized form found in a checkbook.
> Let me get this right - you're saying everyone should have the freedom to spread lies, half-truths or misleading statements, but that noone should have the freedom to call them out on it?

Twitter should decide what business they're in. If they're a platform for people to discuss ideas, they should stay out of expressing their opinion, absolutely. What's next, is Microsoft going to fact-check what you're saying while you talk on Skype and add a message over your voice?

> The only difference is that people trust Twitter more than the current POTUS.

That's so cool! Perhaps you've found who can beat Trump in 2020—Twitter. I thought there was no hope, but maybe...
The struggle is not always real
> In my view, the most powerful person in the world unilaterally shutting down companies he disagrees with is much closer to tyranny.

If he succeeds, it is definitely a step in that direction.

Let's compare the basic 16 inch Macbook Pro to some random gaming laptop I found on walmart.com.

16" vs 17.3"

Processor: 4-core i7-4870HQ vs 6-core i7-9750H, MSI is much better https://technical.city/en/cpu/Core-i7-9750H-vs-Core-i7-4870H...

GPU: MSI's is better https://www.notebookcheck.net/Radeon-Pro-5300M-vs-GeForce-GT...

Same RAM

Same disk capacity, not sure if the MSI's is an SSD but that's less than $100

60Hz vs 144Hz

So I'd be getting an all-around better laptop that doesn't need dongles for everything and gives you far more control over the system and runs far more programs for $900 less.

How to validate startup ideas? No how?
I have read around the subject fairly extensively, lean startup, running lean, the mom test ect.

Set up a landing page, do not focus on the solution, only focus on the problem. Find out where your audience hangs out online, ask questions like "how do you xyz ......", "do you use any software for abc ......."

Try and redirect them to your email list. Build up a list of 100 interested customers..... launched product, while still building your list and refining the product. Still do interviews whilst building the product, you have to nail the product/solution, problem/market fit.

However....... It never really works for me. I usually get banned or my post removed. No self-promotion allowed on Reddit, Facebook groups ect. And you can't start the post with.... I have an app idea.....Or the users catch on, sounds like you are launching an app? I have tried paid advertising using Facebook lead gen. This just burns through cash.

If I go direct add 100 people on LinkedIn I am lucky if I get 2 or 3 feedback, never mind scaling to 100s of pre-sale signups.

How do you actually validate and grow to your first 1000 email sign ups. No really?

How do you actually do it, has anyone got real examples? Especially those people who get 1567 signs in their first week.... Please do share.
Penetrating analysis. I am grateful that the journalists at The Verge have graced us with the singular insight that can only be borne from their evident engineering genius.
I recently read "Man's Search for Meaning", written by a psychologist who survived several years in concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Frankl's main thesis is that humans have a deep need for meaning in their life, which he defines as producing some kind of work, caring for others, or having enriching experiences. This strongly resonates with me. I believe America's consumer culture undermines this need. Many work "bullshit jobs" only to be able to afford to consume things — the work itself is not for anything more meaningful than a paycheck. Mass manufacturing lets us care of most of our material needs ourselves so there is less culture around caring for each other than there used to be. There are an infinite number of "experiences" available, but most are simply consuming a thing created by someone else and endlessly reproduced. There is nothing particularly enriching about watching the latest Hollywood spectacle, nearly instiguishable from the previous ten movies in the franchise.

Frankl observed about his fellow prisoners that people could survive anything if they had something to live for. But when our lives are meaningless and we fill that void with shallow pleasures and distractions, we are ill-equipped to have the resilience needed to get through something like the current pandemic. When something bad enough is going on that Netflix no longer takes your mind off it, then to what do you turn?
> Marginal gains is the name of the game for airliners. A 2% increase in fuel efficiency is something airlines drool over.

It's not if the resultant airplane isn't safe to use. 2% improvement over nothing (because you can't even fly the damn thing) is nothing.

Most of the success stories you're referring to are the old Boeing, from decades past. The 787 had lots of problems but they did eventually get it dialed in with fortunately no fatal crashes, just having lost many billions of dollars in overruns. But their most recent plane is an absolute disaster. They can't keep coasting on the successes of the past without making more successes in the future. These layoffs are prove of it. On their current trajectory, they are failing.

Just as predicted :)
Ooops, thanks again. You're absolutely correct.
Twitter deserves our respect for stepping out of their lane (marketing/advertising) to ensure that all information on their website is 100% scientifically accurate. Thank you, selfless heroes!
Is the hash symbol the best? It already is used within classes to mean private. Syntactically for the machine parser, I assume it will work just fine for these other things. But semantically for my human brain, it is mildly incongruous. If for no reason but elegance and developer delight, I ask for a reconsideration of other punctuation.
Thanks, that was interesting. And counter-intuitive, I generally worry more about injuring my knees than my shoulders.
On the plus side, if you catch a bad case of Covid then a birth this year will probably work out as free because you'll be hitting your out-of-pocket max anyway. Just make sure you time it so the birth doesn't hit on the next year or they'll get you for double.

(yes, for international folks, people in the US who've thought it through really do base their family planning in large part on when their annual insurance limits reset, because the difference in costs can be thousands of dollars even with pretty good insurance, if you accidentally land most of the prenatal care on one year and the birth itself on the next)
It must be utterly exhausting to believe the vast majority of other humans are conspiring against you.
I've been looking for something like this for... so long. It's like tiddlywiki but with first class & local markdown! Thank you!!!

Add a separate GUI for a workflow-y like list-editing (that saves as a markdown list format) and you've got a serious competitor to Roam as well as beating out more traditional competitors like Notion, Boostnote, etc.

What are you talking about.

We've been levying tariffs against China in a carrot and stick approach for the last 3 years. We're basically extorting the rest of our NATO allies to block Huawei hardware from being used for 5G implementation. The US is currently trying to get their CFO extradited from Canada to stand trial for bank fraud. We continue to support Taiwan militarily, with arms sales and joint training opportunities and have been since the Cold War (the first one, that is). Looks like we're actually giving them Main Battle Tanks now for the first time ever, if this wikipedia page is to be believed.[1]

I hear you, that I'd like a harder stance taken on China as well - but that probably means going after US companies that do business there. I'm fine with this, but it's a much harder pill to swallow for many. Otherwise your only option is overt military intervention in Hong Kong. And that doesn't seem worth it for Americans.

Thanks for your support in the middle of this.

To answer your question: our dev environment is iso to staging and production with AWS accounts for each developer. The cost is close to 0. Deploying and testing a code change takes seconds. Deploying and testing a config change however is still a little bit longer for sure...
Yep, I did use inline images in my days with org-mode, but I found it to be rather hacky. It's possible, I just found it unpleasant.
Your personality is changing all the time. You've already lost yourself from 5 years ago.

Even putting aside the question of whether one can lose one's self, what is so special about you that you can't bear to lose it? I don't understand this romantic ideal of self.

A lot of Americans think they can make it themselves without help from others. Smart people don’t believe that and make the government subsidize their stuff left and right. Often while deluding themselves into thinking that they are “self made”. And then you have the people who constantly vote against their own interests while enduring the hardships the system imposes.
Consider using Aerospike. I think it beats Mongodb in every aspect. TCO is very low, very fast read/write. IMO is the best document store out there.
I think the actual conservative pain point is that they (correctly) observe that freedom of association (i.e. businesses get to choose their customers) only seems to apply when it benefits progressives - contrast Google evicting milquetoast conservatives from Youtube with no legal repercussions versus that baker in Colorado getting sued a bunch of times for not wanting to bake gay, satanist, etc. themed cakes. There are plenty of examples along these lines.

In general, the last 50-60 years have seen private individuals and businesses stripped of their rights to turn away customers, in the US mostly under the guise of the CRA, FHA, etc. YouTube finds itself remarkably (and unsurprisingly) unrestrained by these kind of (progressive) laws.
aha! So he IS a human afterall :p
I most definitely do have an opinion on him, and a very negative one at that. However, I try to keep that as reserved as possible for a number of reasons, including:

- Manifesting my like or dislike of the man immediately places one side or the other of tribal warfare, and that is precisely what I’d like to see less of;

- In my experience Americans are extremely testy and sometimes downright hostile when foreigners express opinions about their governance (the whole foundational process, at least as it is taught today, was of a rejection of ties to the Old Wolrd and its old, flawed ways)... I’ve even had people berate me online for being a condescending neo-imperialistic foreigner meddling in their affairs ‘proving’ that the Democrats are traitors who sell out America’s interests to foreigners (because if foreigners prefer Democrats, it must be because they get something in return);

- I sometimes get somewhat annoyed at others when they bring up “pizza, pasta, mafia” caricatures of my own home country (Italy) so I always wonder how much of what I think I ‘know’ is simply stereotype.

For all these reasons, I prefer to be as impartial as I possibly can.
Am I the only one that sees the irony that

A) Twitter, a private company, was merely adding a warning to his tweet which doesn't restrict his speech at all, and has long been defended by conservatives that private companies restricting speech is not a violation of the first amendment

AND

B) Trump threatened to use the powers of government to stop someone from violating his speech that is not protected by the first amendment is ACTUALLY VIOLATING THE FIRST AMENDMENT?
This amp nonsense has long annoyed everyone and I'm puzzled why it's still around.

It makes everything harder and confuses deeplinking, sharing, identifying sites and general navigation between pages.
Thanks for your permission to provide my view.
Two books that have been useful to me are "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "When I Say No I Feel Guilty".
> You'll only ever retrieve Google AMP cache results from the Google search page, where they were already able to track if you made such a request, since the link you clicked has trackers in it.
So from that perspective, nothing changes.

I am not affected, I don’t use Google search. The problem is for individuals who use Google search and now don’t have an option to avoid in deep tracking. The difference between regular pixel trackers and multiple data points associated with every resource a site serves is immense. I work in ad-tech, not particularly in the identification side, but I started multiple projects in that end. From experience, a regular tracker can be fooled, but you cannot fool every resource request. One of the things I did to identify ad fraud bots was actually drive them to a site in which I controlled every resource. The resource request fingerprint for bots was easily distinguishable from real people. Moreover, some humans exhibited navigation patterns that were distinguishable from other humans. I remember I caught a QA person doing a shoddy job of testing the front end once due to it. That is the kind of power that Google is acquiring as more and more sites choose to use AMPs. It is scary to think that a single identity has that power.
That would be very premature, you’d need much stronger political union first. The risk is the joint Intelligence agency would end up as leaky and compromised as the most leaky, most compromised intelligence agency of the individual countries. That would make the sum equal to the weakest of its parts.
"The worst thing I've seen recently is amp URLs for reddit threads."

How can I see this very specific example ? I would like to understand exactly what this looks like ...

I am not a reddit user and I don't consume much web content on a phone, which is using Safari on an iPhone ...

Would I need to download google chrome onto my iphone, then do a google search for a reddit thread, then click on that search result ? Or would I see this result in Safari as well ?

Genuinely curious as I would like to recreate this specific result ...
Well, maybe, unless providing this new alternate method of transit decreases congestion and pollution, improves mental and physical health of its citizens, and by extension their productive capacity and the amount of income or other taxes that they might pay.

While it's laudable that the City considers funding sources for various projects, particularly so given its many budgetary issues, it is flawed to think that the cost benefit analysis in considering whether to invest in a given project is as simple as "will this project pay for itself directly through fees that it generates".

Money is fungible and the City has the ability to issue bonds. It should consider the effects of what it invests in on the overall health of the urban system at large.

We do this for things that are considered "social projects", but not for infrastructure, but this is an arbitrary distinction, and as always, it's all connected!

Note: I don't intend here to argue that any of the what are called "social projects" are worth or not worth their expense , just calling attention to what I see as an odd disconnect in how we determine what is worth funding.

...as a sidenote, your point also only holds if all of these trips are replacing previously vehicular traffic going over the bridge. Also note that you could have alternatively chosen to focus on the decrease in wear and tear on the bridge!

Otherwise known as the "democratic means of production" which can be measured by how many US citizens own equities (almost 50%).

Moreover, twitter has demonstrated its inability to do this already. From their repudiation of the claims made about mail-in ballots:

>Trump falsely claimed that mail-in ballots would lead to "a Rigged Election.

We don't know if the claim is false; it hasn't happened yet. It could have said unlikely, improbable, whatever. Making this statement, however, is just as charged as the one it opposes.
>What would happen if there was a massive conspiracy to just plow through with the plan despite the injunction?

In real terms, what are you imagining here? Trump having the NSA execute a DDOS against Twitter? I feel like you have to get to some pretty fantastical action-movie type plots to make this happen.

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for the tips. Watched all trailers, not my cup of tea.
The word you're looking for is overoptimization. We built and optimized a system around the "happy path" but in doing so we cut off our fallbacks for less optimistic scenarios.

This is market capitalism unrestrained. Any measures in place to account for "black swan" events get optimized out of existence in the name of short-term efficiency. And why shouldn't they when the government has shown that they will bail out companies over and over?

Boeing deserves the overwhelming majority of the blame here, not one of their many, many customers. Southwest did not want a plane so unsafe that it cannot fly. If their wish list desires were not all reasonable, then it's Boeing's responsibility to let them know it.
Complex structures are easier to get right in Rust than in mosy other languages, because the compiler railroads you into a subset of possible solutions that work correctly.

That being said, those structures are a subset of all possible structures and may feel roundabout. Sharing does end up being even less obvious, but it also steers you away from bugs which would be difficult to spot in other laguages. I think it comes out even here.
I don't think food shopping, at least for produce, dairy, and meat, aka perishables, is something that even should be online. Why does it need to be, anyway?

I can see groceries, i.e. shelf stable items, moving largely online. That's already more convenient for bulk items (e.g. 40lb bag of cat litter).
Not sure why you're being downvoted - my experience mirrors yours. I've just swapped from a 2018 MBP with the last (final?) iteration of the butterfly mechanism to a 2020 13" MBP with the new keyboard and in all honesty I preferred the butterfly.
