Interesting cause. I wonder how long we’ll need to manually specify what transitions. It seems like an optimization problem that the browser could solve on its own, but I guess not yet.
That's fair; different people have different experiences. I have a long history of setting things up so that downloads happen in the background while I'm doing something else, and that rarely took longer than arranging a trip into town anyway. My other complaints still apply though.
I’d be very interested in reading a legal opinion on this specific topic.

For example here’s one article discussing just CA for several pages [1] which includes a provision where you have to file if you have sales in-state in excess of $500,000 or 25% of your total sales, or paid compensation in excess of $50,000.

It’s frankly an absurd situation even if you just wanted to figure out for yourself where you should file and how much you would have to pay. Paying someone to “do it right” nationwide would probably be a six-figure proposition. This is why, mostly, it isn’t actually ever done until you get past a certain size — maybe by 8 figures of revenue you consider possibly maybe dealing with it.

Presumably the same laws apply even to international corporations “doing business in CA”, not just domestic US companies.

I'm referring not to a recursive nameserver, but to a caching one that simply forwards queries to an upstream resolver. Like the one in every consumer router. Usually that's dnsmasq, with this option:

-D, --domain-needed
Tells dnsmasq to never forward A or AAAA queries for plain names, without dots
or domain parts, to upstream nameservers. If the name is not known from
/etc/hosts or DHCP then a "not found" answer is returned.
There’s an old Jerry Lewis bit where the clerk has no ink pad so she just slams the stamp into the back of your hand so hard that it cramps up into a claw.

The claw is how the next clerk knows you’ve been through the other line. That could replace the slap part of the process.

Not gonna lie, this week I've read two HN postings about dope planes for rich people (boom, now this)......and news articles detailing a crisis of austerity for the NYC subway.

It's really sad to me that we can VC these wild bets on inefficient transport for the few, meanwhile perhaps the most efficient people-mover ever devised for the many is on an entirely politically-caused death bed.
except for killing an elephant

Let that stand as a symbol for all the other horrible things Edison did, like electrocuting a number of dogs and cats, and killing his assistant.

Tesla is not exactly overrated, but at least he never stole credit for inventions, and he never killed anyone, unlike Edison (his assistant, glassblower Clarence Madison Dally, who died a rather horrible death).

"Relatively unknown," is a better description for Tesla. Edison invented a few things, the telegraph... no that was David Alter. Edison invented something to copy telegraphs, and he invented the phonograph, which was truly revolutionary, a way to record sound... but he did not invent the record player... he made lightbulbs practical... but he did not invent the electric lightbulb, of course. Edison did not invent the kinetoscope, or movie camera (that was Edward Muybridge) and he knew very little about it, but he took credit for it anyway. Edison took credit for wax paper, but he had absolutely nothing to do with that invention (invented by Gustav Le Gray). He did not invent storage batteries, but he made a lot of money with them. Edison did not invent the power generator, though he is credited for it (his assistants, Charles Batchelor and Francis Upton, were the true inventors of this).

Nearly all the other great achievements attributed to Edison were actually invented by his rival inventors or unknown (to the masses) employees, the researchers he hired, (such as the electric chair, invented by Harold P. Brown).

Tesla was a lot smarter than Edison. He never wrote anything down, and was able to keep his designs in his head. He invented the Tesla coil, the Tesla Turbine, The Shadowgraph, the Neon Lamp, The Niagra Falls Transformer House, the Induction Motor, the RC boat, Alternating Current, and Radio. Tesla held over 300 patents across 5 continents, and all of then were his innovations. God knows how many of Edison's 1000-some patents were actually his.

I don't understand how you or anyone can believe what you wrote. Edison was a major douche bag, an obvious sociopath, which sort of overshadows what he actually invented, which actually number in the low double digits. Tesla's inventions number in the low-mid triple digits

Tesla is not overrated, quite the opposite, apparently, and Edison certainly is not better in any regard than Tesla.

But Tesla was weird, and not all that popular. Edison, like all successful sociopaths throughout history, was hugely popular.
Feel the same, rooting for them but website is still a bit light on actual data and a lot of startup speak, wondering how they would get that big of an improvement vs similarly shaped (Avanti EVO) or powered (DA62) aircraft.

Other question is how safe the simplicity of the shape is, no front wing / canard with presumably very variable CG, or if they’ll have to sacrifice a lot of initial specs to make it work. Also if one should feel comfortable about the only semi-redundant engine over long stretches of water.

> GPL goes beyond that, in particular requiring that if you distribute modifications you have made to someone else's GPL'd code then you must also distribute your own source code.

> > That's kind of the whole point of the GPL, to ensure that that stays true [even of future uses of that code].

Distributing a copyrighted work in a mangled, unreadable format to impede and discourage people from exercising their rights (to share or modify it) is basically DRM, and the GPL is right to prohibit that.

(And yes, this would apply to, eg, Photoshop project files, although even more so than video game source code, I don't consider prefered editing forms for primarily artistic works to be a particularly high priority.)
Mercurial is much more user friendly.

Also big companies such as Facebook and Google use it because it's more extensible.

That's basically how offshore windfarms work. Electricity generation firms place wind turbines offshore where there is usually stronger wind. Having windfarms specifically for hurricanes wouldn't be viable since hurricanes strike infrequently and in different locations.
What’s stopping you from just pulling d3 from a cdn or npm and just hacking away like any js lib?
If it's safe to say so - I don't wanna jeopardize your methods here - how did you obtain it? As far as I can tell, normal consumers can't buy them "legit", but they are "illegitimately" resold anyways, which makes rejection of their "validity" during activation a possibility (assuming Microsoft finds out, of course).
It is wrong to deny me the free choice of an ecosystem with only one store then. You wouldn’t walk into a town with only one grocery store and car dealership and demand a second one open “because freedom”. Maybe that town likes it that way and if you don’t then you don’t need to live there.

That’s just because you’re in a higher income bracket. If your family of four earned less than ~$50k/year you would pay about 10% that amount for healthcare premiums and have lower deductibles.

Having paid for something isn't a magical spell that wards this away. Having sunk costs makes it less likely that the users will migrate away after unpleasant, user-hostile changes, not more. Having a budget also allows for enough PR to bury the complaints.
"I don’t understand why people are so precious about their UI and workflow. They obviously managed to learn and adapt to the current UI. Why can’t they adapt to a new one?"

Why constantly adapt to a new UI that does the same thing in a different way? That causes a lot of mental churn without any benefit.
The synapse isn't the complex part of the brain. The synapse is just the part of the neuron membrane that is responsible for input and output. The complex part is how the synapse affects potentiality inside the neuron itself. The difference between a transistor and a neuron is that a transistor has discrete, digital states. A neuron is much less deterministic than that. If you want to try to find a part of the brain that may represent a transistor, it would be a network of a number of specific neurons that fire (or just as importantly, dont fire) within an even larger superstructure. Ultimately, you just can't draw a clean line between a transistor and the brain at all.
My original point was that the jobs unique to the CS major are converging rapidly to several in computer systems; do these other topics (e.g. theory of computation and esoteric algorithm D&A) lend themselves to employment outside of academia better than the domain-specific knowledge a chemical engineer has, for instance?

I agree with you that CS is more than coding, but the educational establishment does not. The CS curriculum in most American universities comprises architecture, networks, operating systems, software engineering, some algorithm D&A, and Java/Python/C++, at maximum. The fundamental issue is that a proper study of the other components of CS you bring up demands mathematical maturity. Consequently a 3 year course of study in algebra, analysis, and topology is likely much better preparation for advanced study in CS than a 4 year course of study in software engineering, which is what most American CS degrees are. It is one thing to debate how useful CS is as a field beyond programming, but a completely different problem to determine how useful the training offered in a CS degree is.

Additions are added without breaking previous UX even when a better flow is possible.

This is far lighter and significantly different from your usual diesel, though. It's an all-aluminum design and weighs 250-300kg. Heavier (for the same power) than competing turbine engines (like, say, the ubiquitous PT6?) Sure, absolutely. Crazy heavy? Nah. The entire thing probably weighs somewhere around 2000-3000kg (veeery roughly) if I had to guess. So the extra 100kg or so isn't a total dealbreaker, if they can make it up elsewhere.

Very interesting aircraft for sure. I'm still skeptical, but hoping it works out, and rooting for them!

> then passing most of that savings on to the customer is obviously going to save the customer money.

I see no evidence of Epic passing savings to the consumer in this scenario. Unless by customer you mean stock holder in which case the fight is about which stock holders get paid.

Edit: unless you are referring to a temporary PR sale where they were still paying the 30% cut in many cases.
Which wrapper library around d3 that's declarative would people recommend? I'm thinking something where I can swap the state in React between renders and it updates intelligently with animations etc.
They do, though it requires some conversion to meet reliability requirements and to optimize for cruise. Over the years the Subaru boxer engines have been a popular starting point.
i'd be interested if it comes close to covering the cost of the setup. It looks beautiful but I bet it comes at a price.

Nobody is saying Tesla can't match this, and given Elon's personality, I guarantee Tesla will have a Taycan style reaction and seek to reclaim the crown in short order.

However, that competitors are nipping at Tesla's heels is an absolute sea change compared to a few short years ago. They used to not only be ahead in every metric, but also improving faster than their competition further solidifying the lead.

Tesla sets a very high bar, but genuine effort is being made now to compete. It's fantastic, and great news for the EV movement. Reading EV news is finally fun again.
If a computer can generate something of equal quality without human input, I don't consider it art. Sure, CGI looks realistic. But realistic imagery is not enough for something to be art, and neither is random splashes of color. There is nothing here that points to beauty, higher values, truth, or anything. If it helps you zone out, sure, but again, not art. White noises helps some people zone out. This is basically white noise with extra steps.

And Im referring to Pollock's work. This website is arguably more artistic than his painting.

I forced myself to try and use nvi,
an (almost) narrowly compatible classic vi clone.

I thought of it as an exercise in constraint,
with the aim of getting better at vim.
Like vanilla vim without plugins,
but Nightmare Difficulty.

I've now completely fallen for it.
It's missing most mainstream features and still,
I... like it more?
I feel like a hipster typing this,
but there really is a difference in brainfeel
between using a ''huge'' editor I'll never grasp fully
versus a tiny one I can learn completely.
Tiny sparks joy.

I tried NewPipe. Sharing subscriptions and history between my desktop and mobile is a requirement it doesn't fulfil.
I wholeheartedly agree with the article. Software companies have created a culture, where (some) users deliberately do not want to update their software.

For the last few major Windows updates I've had to reconfigure my sound setup, because the update breaks it by changing default sound devices and what feeds into what. Recently, a Chrome update (silently) broke an add-on that allowed me to easily switch audio devices for a tab. There are tons of other problems like that that I've run into.

I dread every software update for software that I use frequently.

The CG question is really good, but considering the very conventional tail on the prototype, I imagine it has about the same acceptable CG range as a similar passenger aircraft. The wing just looks like it's way too far back since the engine's in the back instead of the front.

Hopefully it's not intended to do regular transoceanic flights, but it should be fine for shorter crossings (e.g. Great Lakes, Mediterranean north/south, etc.).
I have a Selectric II, bought for $15 at a second-hand store. It's a glorious machine for writing, the keyboard is second to none and words just seem to flow out of my hands when I type on the thing. It's wonderful.

The problem is, the whole house can hear it. Every keystroke, especially every carriage-return (those are like thunder). It beggars concerns about super-clacky PC keyboards disturbing people. I cannot imagine what typing pools and newsrooms sounded like in the 60s and 70s.

> I gather judges really don't like to impose technical requirements - especially in a fast-moving industry like this.

Yes, the court in the Microsoft appeal explicitly said this.

> Microsoft was convicted of monopoly abuse by simply bundling Internet Explorer with Windows

Not quite. As I explain in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24289455) Microsoft's problem is that they forced other companies (OEMs, ISPs, and Apple) to bundle IE at the expense of other browsers. Whether the sole act of bundling IE with Windows would have been itself an antitrust violation was not actually addressed by the court. Microsoft also had a much higher market share (95%) than Apple currently does.
Ha good catch. I think it's due to an incorrect raw radar point there. This is the reason why we need this tool: to quickly find these issues. There is actually an AR version of this where we have a human-size 3D point cloud - much easier to debug [1]

Unfortunately that doesn’t really help. We update an application about once a year but we get false positive alerts even months after AV programs have previously not complained about a binary.

What’s worse is that not all AV vendors on Virus Total have an easy way to submit a false positive report and of those that do, the majority believes getting a false positive report to be an opt-in into their marketing mailing lists.

I absolutely hate my about quarterly task of going from a name of an AV engine on Virus Total who suddenly decided that our binary which hasn’t changed on months must be infected to finding the actual submit-a-false-positive page to then writing the report and then unsubscribing from their mailing list I inevitably end up on
