The motor controller has 3 settings, Low, Med , Hi - which correspond to 16 mph, 24 mph, and 32 mph. It has a soft start mode where it won't go full power right away but ramps up, one can disable this feature. Its pretty quick but not earth shattering, it won't really do a burn out. The 9, 10, 12 year old kids think its great and drive it well (well enough). The 6 year old kids are slightly too small and don't watch where they are going - but they love it. Its super fun for the kids and more than any of them can handle yet - which is the best part. Going electric was a great idea, the kids are louder than the Go Kart, and the battery is big enough to last for hours.
Thanks for pointing it out. That was not a abuse case I considered.

It's straightforward to create a list of restrictions based on types of information to prevent doxxing, at least from my understanding. Avoiding postings of addresses, employers, etc without the consent of the original person can be made an unambiguous rule. I don't believe such a restriction could be used as a weapon to silence legitimate speech.

My ultimate concern however, is the poor application of harder to define restrictions like "glorifying violence" being used maliciously. I could see pressure from various people that recent protest organizing would fall under the same category (not that I agree with such assertion). As Twitter has decided to filter some speech, bad actors are going to try to use that filtering to get opposing speech filtered.

Additionally, that's all assuming Twitter, Facebook, etc are acting in good faith. There are numerous ways the good intentions here result in dystopian outcomes.

> snarky sidebar, sorry: every editor and IDE has really good Vim key bindings, but terrible Emacs support. I used to feel bad about this until I realised it was a sign that Vim people clearly didn't use Vim that much, whereas Emacs people never leave Emacs

How could you emulate emacs? Just the keybinds would miss the point.
The problem is that it isn't a language tradition, it's inherent in the nature of "darkness" (i.e. the absence of light) as a concept. When it's dark you can't see, it's night so it's cold and there could be predators etc.

If we're going to make a change to language then it should be to stop describing people as black or white. Which was never particularly accurate to begin with, since "black people" are really varying shades of brown and "white people" are varying shades of pink to light brown anyway.

I assume it's too much to ask that we stop categorizing people by "race" entirely.

> If someone wrote an open source clone of Emacs that adopted some sane defaults, modern UI conventions, and dropped all the political BS it could be so much better.

Emacs does have sane defaults. Did you mean instead you want defaults that remind you of the defaults in other (younger) programs that people might be more familiar with? That can be useful to gain more users. But it doesn't require an Emacs "clone", just an Emacs package with the settings you want. This approach is actually pretty popular: many people use CUA mode, Evil or even a distribution like Doom or Spacemacs. There's no need to change Emacs just to change a few defaults.

There are also package that address the "modern UI conventions" part of your complaint too to some extent, and again, distributions like Doom and Spacemacs include some of these packages. (Personally I only care if UI is practical and efficient, not if it is modern, but I do understand that some people like modern UIs for their own sake.)

> Whose fault is it anyway? Simple: it's the consumer who copies and pirates software that forces the price down and therefore the quality to remain low.

Software piracy, by the consumer, at scale, is historically negligible. It's even more negligible now.

How can one pirate software like netflix or google docs, where there's a centrally hosted server that runs the actual software?

Apple's App Store is full of software that is incredibly difficult to pirate. How does a consumer duplicate a copy of paid iPhone app? Yet, the cost of an iphone app isn't significantly more.

I don't think consumers pirating software has as significant an impact on the price of software as more normal market forces. If I want to manufacture a paperclip and sell it, I can't charge a thousand dollars, even though the factory is pretty expensive to build, because others are able to charge less and profit.

If I want to make an iphone app to share short videos, I can't charge $1000, even if it's perfect code, because my competition can do the same thing for free. And if I'm sending video to other users, well, even perfect software will hit network errors.

The reality is, many software companies are profitable right now while selling software for 10s of dollars, so if I charge more, I won't be competitive.

Consumers don't pay for software that's better than a certain amount. Once it's "good enough" to solve their problems "well enough", that's it.

> The keyboard isn't that bad. It had reliability issues which suggest a failure of their stress testing, but it wasn't somehow obviously broken when it shipped

I had mine replaced twice, but the third revision (which according to Apple is an improved version) has been reliable (except for the key labels wearing off) though I still greatly prefer the 2012 design.

My biggest issue now is the trackpad and its incredibly broken palm rejection that causes the cursor to jump all over the screen. This isn't a settings issue (settings do not help at all) and it was never a problem on older Apple laptops or on the iPad, which has a huge touchscreen with flawless palm rejection. Unfortunately (for me and for Apple), wearing an Apple watch seems to make the broken palm rejection and random cursor jumping even worse.
You should ask Drew.

> Small steps are key

I have been working on NearBeach for nearly 4 years. I have always done it in small steps.

- Implement projects functionality

- Implement customer/organisation functionality

- Implement tasks

- etc.

I find this helps me keep myself motivated. That and I couple it with a set goal - a very achievable goal.

Currently NearBeach is a minimal viable product currently going through a UI/UX and backend refactoring, with the goal of improving UI/UX and backend readability of the code.

An anecdote on what you might be missing. There is nothing concrete that not using org-mode would cause you to miss out on, it is rather the possibility of being able to access one of countless workflows that have been built on top of it.

When I started to use org-mode it was because I needed to generate a gant chart and I wanted a text format. I haven't used that functionality every again. Since then I have used org-mode for a variety of things, but never all at once, always a little piece at a time. Typeset a thesis in latex? Execute analysis code in a reproducible way? Write DRY bash scripts and tangle (compile) them? Run and log the output of one-off commands on remote servers so that if you ever have to do it again you have a record of it? The list goes on and on.

Last week I was told that I needed to start keeping track of the time I spend working on different tasks. Despite keeping todo lists I have never used the org clocking functions, ye there they were there, just a C-c C-x C-i and C-c C-x C-o away. Integrated into my workflow when I needed it with all of 30 seconds of effort and two key combinations of overhead.

Emacs is useful because countless others have encountered problems the likes of which a single person only rarely dreams. Not only that but they have probably already implemented a solution that is fairly easy to find once you encounter the problem and in 80% of the cases can be used unmodified.

Yes, you and all the rest of us are missing something. It is impossible NOT to miss something and no tool can solve that for you. The question to me is whether you want to spend your time learning a tool and integrating with an ecosystem where you never have the possibility of benefiting from the things that others did not miss.
> Historically NASA hovers at around a 10:1 ROI.

I suggest you look at what was spent on the Space Shuttle, which turned out to be non-reusable (it was re-manufactured after each flight for up to a year.) No ROI there.

Fun facts: NASA knew from the very first flight that they were losing several tiles during launch, and no tiles were optional. Also, NASA managers were given photos of Columbia's damaged wing, which had a gaping hole in the leading edge, before re-entry, and sat on them. I wouldn't fly a Cessna 152 like that.)

I don't disagree. But this is the article's text:

> It is partly a product of colonial prejudices, and it has been exacerbated by caste, regional differences and Bollywood, the nation’s film industry, which has long promoted lighter-skinned heroes.

The article mentions "colonial prejudices" as the cause. It uses the caveat "partly" but doesn't mention any other origin, leaving the impression that colonialism created the prejudice, rather than reinforcing existing prejudices.

It's "weasely" because it whitewashes the history of racism in India, making it seem like something that is "the product" of colonial rule.

They're a really good source of protein, which is otherwise pretty scarce in fruit & veg. As cheese and milk are more or less defined by their proteins, nuts and legumes are pretty much the only viable alternatives.

> [Mac] also prevents you from examining your options without needing to click anything.

But it bundles selection-specific and system-general commands up in a remote menu bar that requires a lot of to and fro to operate. The beauty of right-click is that it gives a contextual menu specific to the object right there. I'd argue that it's fantastic UX.

Airbnb CEO: Travel may never be the same
Someone once told me: don't talk about your idea to others until you're done building it and have something to show (at least an MVP). Surprising how motivating this was for me to finish my projects even if they're not perfect.

That way you don't mentally feel like you're accomplishing things by just texting the idea around. The discussion bloats your senses and conflates self-reassurance with getting things done.

And secondly, sometimes its easier to communicate an idea by building it than to try to use words to describe your intangible hallucinations. Translation from your head to words to someone else's head is pretty lossy (esp on things like Twitter, though I do think its a great creative exercise)

They say the difference between a vision and a hallucination is that other ppl can see a vision (h/t Ben Horowitz). But no matter what, everyone can see cold hard product.

I agree that "until when" is usually a good caveat to keep in mind, but in this case branchless banks basically have to offer free services somehow, since banks with branches don't charge for any of those things. So in order to incentivise people to join, offering an alternative way to bank that is not any more expensive is a must. This is especially true for elderly people that prefer to bank in person. I never go into a bank unless I want to withdraw or deposit large amounts of cash, and prefer to hand cash over to a human than trusting an ATM not to stuff something up.
Not sure why an honest question is getting downvoted, but you do you, HN.
If their estimate this week of over 20mm true infections is accurate then the coronavirus has an IFR of 0.6% in the US. Comparatively the 2017-2018 flu season was fairly bad and saw 61k deaths from an estimated 45mm infections[1] for an IFR of about 0.15%. So this is about four times worse than a bad flu season, with significant skew towards far more risk for older people.

If you are using a precise mouse or trackpad, a menu bar at the top (or edge) of the screen is much easier to than a menu bar anywhere else on the screen, because it has "infinite" extent. This has been known for decades, and is why macOS places the menu bar at the top of the screen and the dock at the bottom or edge.
