> The industry was very heavily regulated globally before Chernobyl and Fukushima, but look what happened.

Apart from Chernobyl which was poorly designed and managed to begin with, other plants have proven safe. Even Fukushima hardly caused any death while several thousands people were killed by a once-in-a-lifetime tsunami. Let's put things in perspective, please.
Probably not much for a brick and mortar store or a software consultant, but think about the vendors selling pizza or hotdogs on the street.

Alternatively, if you are involved in a few startups with losses, it can add up really fast.
Take care to understand your local law regarding automatic license plate recognition. Use of such software and/or data collected with it may be under regulation. IANAL, but see your state statutes here if you live in the US: https://www.ncsl.org/research/telecommunications-and-informa...
It’s interesting too in the context of History and Politics, which also tend to be mean reverting over time. As Nate Silver likes to say, people overrate trends (like GOP can’t have a political future due to demographics) and underrate mean reversion (political parties adapt, people have short memories, energy switches to whomever is out of power).
I earn more than my family or my peers earn, but living in London often feels like my money comes in and goes out again immediately. As a result, I currently live with my family in an extraordinarily nice house that I would never be able to afford myself. I pay them a nominal sum for rent; they refuse to take the market rate even though I am happy to pay it...

I look at the rental cost of a standard 1 bedroom flat in my part of London, and they want £1,200/month just in rent. It would be cheaper to get a mortgage, but I fail the "affordability" tests. Perhaps I am selfish, but I am not so desperate to move out to a relatively inferior property in which I possess no interest (since I will merely be renting) for that sum.

I don't believe I'll ever be able to afford a house, especially as wage growth allegedly stagnates and then seemingly declines past the age of 40. If these are my "peak earning" years, then I'm quite sad because at this rate I'll be trapped at home forever. It would be fine if rents were about the same as a mortgage: one could rent while saving.

At the moment though, renting while saving seems eminently unaffordable.
For error recovery, do any parsers have a notion of which tokens are more likely to be wrong?

For example, in an actively edited C++ file, braces are more likely correct than angle brackets which are overloaded. So it's reasonable to auto-insert closing > if you see a } with an open <, but not reasonable to insert a } if you see a > with an open <.
Even though the reporting can be very biased, Al Jazeera was one of the only news channels we watched in the military, along with BBC. I wish we had similar news agencies in the USA that show actual world news, and aren't just attractive people sitting around a table, gossiping about Democrats/Republicans.
Fortunately, public observation of the proceedings is allowed.

The current defacto situation involves millions of renters just being unable to pay. They can't be evicted in most of America.

Landlords are going to lose money.

>Flipping your final line around, how would the elderly widow relying on renting out her former family home handle receiving no income for a year?

She still will not get any income until the eviction moratorium is lifted. The only thing she can do is sue her tenants for money they don't have. Even in good times evictions can take months to a year.

It can be argued this is the risk of doing business. If tenants can't pay they can't.

The backlog of evictions ( which are one of the most stressful things you can experience) will clog courts. At least if we establish renters will not be able to pay, we can develop an alternative plan. Better to have a plan than saying everyone has to survive the best they can.

Someone with an economic degree would work out the details. Obviously I can't write a full relief bill in a comment
Well one day we all die. Leading up to that we live in a world that exists entirely in the space between our ears. I kinda wanna believe in a dimension full of benevolent machine elves that we are linked to spiritually.
The fact that AI was denied access seems like support for them being there. If the court behaved in a way that would be consistent with them allowing AI, then AI would not need to observe.
It's an old legacy mentality when you can't imagine web systems filling the role of regular applications. Please update your mental models accordingly.

That you happen to think of the web as being for this specific thing that you imagine is not a fair constraint. The web does not want to be excluded from becoming more, please stop placing it in the corner.
Would be interesting to hear more details on how they pulled that off. I would tend to assume the fast development speed involves using a bunch of existing tech instead of developing new. Maybe it's also unmanned, letting them drop a ton of life-support stuff and relax reliability requirements.
> I feel like taking an extremely cautious stance in regards to Microsoft is very fair

As someone who wrote their first code for Linux in 1998 (a research project, not upstreamed), the whole "Microsoft loves Linux" thing is almost exactly like "Magneto loves the X-Men". I mean, I'm glad they're not calling us a cancer anymore, but I don't believe for a second they're a fundamentally different company; and I don't trust them one bit.

But the great thing about open-source is that bitter enemies can collaborate when it makes sense to do so.

Thanks! The short answer is that I don't know, as it's only been run on EC2 instances, but given its current compute needs, probably not.

The longer answer is that this project has a ton of room for optimization, some of which is mentioned in the repo, and with lower latency requirements + optimizations, I don't see why it wouldn't work on less powerful hardware (I've never personally worked with the Jetson Nano, so I don't want to speak with any false confidence on it specifically).

Ask HN: Why do misclicks on Google take me to e-commerce stores?
I notice when I try to click an organic search link if I miss ever so slightly, Google is now sending me to e-commerce sites as if I clicked an ad.

For example, I was researching if the big 10 would play football this year and tried to click a news link and must have missed or something and Google sent me to a site for big 10 merchandise. There was no ad showing on Google for this at all. I just tried to click the newslink and it took me to an ecommerce store.

Is this a Google intended feature or do I have a virus on my computer or something?

> You're not getting it.

No, I think I am. Your comment actually misses my entire point and instead just explains climate change?

My point is that a common sentiment I see articulated in response to someone saying that the biosphere soon might not be able to support humanity is "Good, humanity is a cancer on this planet and we've shown we don't deserve it."

I think that statements like that should get a comparable amount of social ire to someone blithely stating that the Holocaust was good population control. It is unacceptable to view the death of millions or billions (after a long period of extremely impoverished living) as a good thing to me.
They could still be used for cargo shipping. I’m not saying that Boeing isn’t taking a huge loss on this because they 100% are but I can certainly envision scenarios that begin to mitigate that loss.
Technically, there is no difference. In a C corp, everyone is an employee. In practical terms, the founders might make decisions more jointly rather than strictly on a basis of equity.

It's worth considering that it is probably a red flag if this becomes a pressing issue because it smells of pettiness and/or ill-feeling. Who is a founder doesn't change the amount of hard work that needs to be done. It's just a distraction from it.

It's also a red flag if an early hire with equity resents not being a founder. There's no time for that. Good luck.
> The potential worst case fuckup is the most spectacular compared to any other energy source.

Just like plane crashes make for horrific headlines. Meantime, a lot more people die every year driving their car to work, and nobody talks about it. Your point is, we don't know how to grasp data?
Given recent events, it seems clear we need to rethink the role of the executive branch, probably to strengthen gov't services (e.g. cabinet-level agencies) and make them more independent of political agendas and misdirection. A more independent EPA, NOAA, FDA, law enforcement, military, etc that are governed by strict codes of conduct and missions that proscribe their misuse by either a careless/malignant POTUS or legislature could save many lives, make US policy more stable and sustainable, and upgrade the standard of living for more than just Americans.

I think we need to do more than just vote.
Yes. I prefer this planet in its habitable state.

Smalltalk too. I really liked it.

In practice, C compilers warn you if you try to take advantage of && having higher precedence than ||, so other than a few very simple rules wise programmers use extra parens anyway.
It's possible but so far Microsoft and AWS have not developed anything near as comprehensive as Netlify's solution. For example, Microsoft's static web apps solution feels very much like early days Netlify and I am not entirely sure how committed MS is to this product.

Honestly, I suspect that if any of the big players wanted to get into this space for real, they'd just acquire Netlify rather than try to recreate everything Netlify already has.

First of all, the complainers do not speak for me, yet they seem to be speaking for everyone, that everyone has this problem because of 24-hour notice of the release of iOS14.

Anyone that has a work flow, even a personal workflow having nothing to do with actual earning of income, that updates as soon as an update is available, is an asshole to themselves, and a compulsive one at that. If there are no security patches, bug fixes or features that I desperately need, I don't update. I'm still running iPadOS13.4 and I may never update.

The problem here is not Apple's. Apple can do as it wants, and is under no obligation to make things convenient for the egotistical developers. From my perspective, (and fallacy argument from authority here, but fwiw, I studied computer science, flunky career in systems administration, and I am perfectly aware I rarely did any computer science, but am also aware programming is not computer science, either... CS is just math, and that is all... I personally just liked the problem solving necessities that sysadmining provided me, along with a decent living... I enjoyed solving those puzzles), developing for iOS sounds easy as snot. Developing a killer app is more difficult in that it must be innovative, clever, beautiful, and useful. But 99% of the apps on AppStore, and including 90% of the games, are duplicates of stuff that has been around forever. Where is the innovation?

And I have very little sympathy for developers because most of them made my life a living hell for 20 years. It is that precious few that did the opposite that I love, nay, that I worship. What are the chances anyone in this group of developer blamers and complainers, borderline narcissist egoists, are among them? Slim to none.

Apple gave you excellent tools. You have your own source code. Get something done! It doesn't matter how long it takes. But with the tools Apple provides, seems to me it is loading the tools, loading the source, grooming the source for the update, clicking a few radio buttons, compiling, and publishing. Shut up and get something done, or bail and go develop for another platform. Jeesh. Make install not war.

You live in Amsterdam... sorry to say, but that is privileged as hell.

> in a way that would be totally socially unacceptable if you were talking about targeted killings or genocide

It is neither "cavalier" nor incompassionate to refer to the age of the planet and the history of life (e.g. humans). It's a scientific fact that we haven't existed for very long in geological time and that we could become extinct by our own doing... or by a suitably large cosmic impactor (among other causes, cosmic or terrestrial).

Real cavalier talk might be about the tobacco industry, the war industry, or the tens of thousands of people who die in motor-vehicle accidents every year in the US alone.

> Our society is so odd.

Indeed. Squeamish about the truth, comfortable in delusion.
Not for beta releases of Xcode, since they’re only provided through the developer site (not the App Store) and you have to download a full installer every single time.
individual-scale action is not a substitute for collective action. You can plant trees and sort your recycling every day for the rest of your life and it won't make the tiniest fraction of the difference that raising fuel economy standards or implementing a carbon tax or whatever would do.

individual action is often presented as a sop precisely because industry wants to divert discussion from the forms of collective action that actually make a difference.
I've set up Lubuntu (performance reasons) for an old laptop for a completely non-tech person and Ubuntu on a newer laptop for a rather non-tech person. Both have no problems.

I took an elective wildlife conservation class while earning my Master's. I had no right to be there, because I was surrounded by the brightest, most pragmatic minds I had ever met. The work that my classmates had done to stop destruction, or to sustain populations through novel solutions, was awe inspiring. We don't see it here, and there's an obvious reason for why that might be, but there are amazing people out there who are making the world a better place than it would otherwise be. The least I can do is not just give up. Thank you for doing your part. I really appreciate it.

The APL approach, which is mostly just simple RL-associative + grouping parentheses, works surprisingly well in practice - although that probably owes something to the simplicity of the syntax and the way idiomatic APL uses mainly the built-in 1- and 2-argument functions.

A Startup Takes ‘Investing in People’ Literally
The FAA's approval process was the outcome of ideology that government should not work the way it had been working. That there were too many regulations and too much oversight, and now it was time for businesses (Boeing in this case) to have a stronger role in certification and FAA a reduced role. Whether this ideology is about protecting corporate masters, supporting a sort of neo-feudalism where big companies are the new aristocrats, or whether it's sincere belief that free markets always produce better results - almost doesn't matter. The consistent theme is that public servants should not really have the final say on airplane certification. Say they have the final say but ensure they don't have the funding, political, or legal capital to consistently actualize it.

The reality is one party long believes in giving business a lot of slack, and then only speaks in grumpy platitudes about the limits of business free-for-all when people die. They don't want a bullshit idea to be seen as bullshit. They just want to profit as much as possible with a number of deaths that the public finds acceptable enough to not call b.s. on the system itself.

If any event involving hundreds of deaths at the same time could be pinned on a person, they'd go to prison. This system is expressly designed to spread the blame and obfuscate just enough that fines will be paid, and life goes on. Except for those who died.
He's being down-voted because it's a personal attack that could apply to 99% of people here and people just gotta defend the tribe.

thats not really true though, we have the numbers. In real terms, education, healthcare, and housing costs have grown at a much higher rate than inflation. It is more expensive to go to college, pay rent, and stay healthy now than it was 30/40/50 years ago.

I don't know if they're scummy. When I buy a typical corporate bond I expect that the company will pay until maturity. If I buy a callable bond wouldn't I expect to be compensated for the one sided exposure to interest rate risk I'm exposing myself to (rates go up I lose, rates go down I lose)?

With consumer debt we have different expectations of what's fair, but consider the bank's risk profile here - if interest rates go up those outstanding mortgages are taking them for a ride, and if they go down the customers refi... seems natural they'd want to minimize prepayments.
Snowflake more than doubles in market debut, largest ever software IPO
We have a problem and need to find the best way to fix it. Understanding the cause in order to find one possible fix is an obvious thing to do. So is looking for any other possible solutions. It is an unnecessary constraint that we need to solve the problem only by reversing its cause.

If the cause of the problem was a brighter sun but we could save the planet by internalizing the cost of our emissions, it seems like it would be wise to do that regardless of whether an earth umbrella might address the root cause more directly.
deforestation overall is not going down though.
I think this is only really true if Millennials continue to attempt to live like their parents.

First thing people need to do is stop fetishizing home ownership. It's not a magical object, instead of buying a home put your money in an index fund, you'll be better off financially anyway in 20 years. Owning a home is just a status symbol people are obsessed with for your quality of life it doesn't matter if you own or rent. Even better would be to share a space with peers. Not only does it make housing cheaper, it makes everything cheaper. Nobody in their 20s or 30s needs to be isolated in some giant house.

Education is predominantly getting much more expensive at elite institutions, but good public universities in-state are still affordable, or go and move abroad and get a degree in Europe if you're American. If you don't like to go to university, pick up a vocation, a lot of them pay well. In general be ready to move to improve your circumstances. Physical mobility in the US has fallen to extreme lows, it's one of the easiest way to improve your situation.

Being a millenial myself I'm actually not pessimistic about the generation at all, or at least not fatalistic. This isn't an economy any more where you get a job at 23 and then you're set for life and then live in a suburb with your labradoodle. To me that's a positive.
I'm sure their regular price increases will quickly make up for that discount. They charge what the market will bear. So it'll soon be more accurate to say they charge a $5 premium for the ad-free version.
Given that some 35% of global emissions this century have come from such unnecessary atrocities as the War on Terror[1] I am confident we have a good starting point for things to cut.
