The maintenance is still happening and it's killing the airlines on costs too. There's one (of several?) small regional airport 2.5hrs north of Toronto where Aircanada parks a dozen large planes from canceled routes. A few times a week a whole crew of maintenance workers and trucks drives all the way up from Toronto, inspects the planes, runs up each engine, then shuts them down, does any maintenance work then drives all the way back to Toronto. Been doing that for 6 months.
>They don't have your best interests at heart by a long shot.

Huge shops like flight centre certainly don't, you're nobody to them. Their business primarily consists of selling terrible package holidays to clueless people. This is not what GP meant with "a good travel agent".

The incentives are completely different for smaller agencies offering a personalized service.
Great day to be Apple I guess.

I imagine there’s no better incentive to get people to move en masse to your new architecture than an exploit for your old architecture that completely and irreparably breaks its security model showing up weeks before it’s released.

> How can they truly be neutral on all these issues that are directly relevant to the business they do?

They most definitely will not be neutral on policy decisions that affect their business, and if you go read their blog post they said exactly that:

It’s funny how trends change but Apple users’ appetite for icons stays the same...10 years ago Apple made the navigation icons in iTunes greyscale instead of color. I wasn’t sold on it so I fired up ResEdit and quickly edited the old icons into the new sprite file inside the app package.

I saw other people complaining online so I posted the updated resource file on my $5/mo shared hosting and put a link on a forum...it was picked up on some blogs but I didn’t realize it had become popular, then I woke up a couple of days later and I’d blown through 10s of gigs of bandwidth and had my hosting account frozen (conveniently the day I’d planned a long roadtrip to test a gps/photo sharing app I’d been working on).

Years later people were still asking if I could help them change their iTunes icons, or even getting mad at me that I hadn’t updated the file to work with newer versions!

I wonder if there's some legal reason for this, like if they don't advertise the fictitious flights then they lose the airport slot.

A Revised Map of Where Working Memory Resides in the Brain
Traditionally, when working two part-time jobs, you aren't typically doing both part time jobs simultaneously. Like, you cant be doing counter-duty at Starbucks 10am-1pm while also be pumping gas across town at Exxon 10am-1pm -- instead you'd have to have shifts w/o overlap. Each company is responsible for paying a fair wage for their shift.

With Uber and Lyft, most drivers I've seen are on both apps simultaneously and choosing the best ride that pops up, which makes the standard interpretation obsolete for gig jobs like this which allow for parallelism.

While I support good wages for drivers, it is unclear who pays the good wage -- Uber, Lyft, or both, or half each, or some proportion as you clock-in-clock-out constantly. I'm sure there is a good answer that is fair to the driver, but I haven't heard it yet.

Social Media Shields Itself from Public Scrutiny
I do not think this would be practical but at least in principle one could build 10,000 by 10,000 transistors in a layer, deposit some material on top, and then start building the next layer. Repeat 10,000 times. When you are done, you would have a cube of maybe about 2 mm side length containing a trillion transistors.

It would be somewhat like 3D printing, you repeat a fundamentally two dimensional process along a third dimension over and over again. And to some extend this is exactly how chips are currently made, in many steps and layers to build up the different transistor parts and the interconnect.

But it could certainly be the case that this is not practical and one would have to look for fundamentally different processes to build up such structures, maybe some self-assembly process. But I really have no clue if and what has been considered, that is why I asked about it in the first place.
You've prescribed here numerous viewpoints that are each fiercely debated and you expect everyone to take it as a package or be on the "status quo".

Since it's a UI library, I'd say deep enough to take care of the actual UI. Whether it depends on system libc and the like is less about that.

I.e. imagine being able to use this library on something like RedoxOS, not just on Linux. That would fit the idea.

An architecture I've seen work is to have reads be direct from the client, but writes be through cloud functions. You can then do migrations and denormalization in the functions and the client sees the sync events as the write completes.

I do wish they'd add actual migration support though. Firebase has always needed some kind of document views like feature to allow backwards compat, but still allow changing the schema.
I'm sorry to tell everyone but this entire premise is insincere.

Sure, 50 years ago MAYBE this would have been valid, but I'm doubtful.

Are we going to ignore that companies in Germany were profiting off of the Nazi regime? Lockheed-Martin, BAE, etc pushing us into infinite war. Oil and gas companies lying about climate change. Coinbase is taking the side of those types of companies.

Climate change has been hijacked as a political issue. Lobbyists from companies are constantly arguing in favor of more damaging and exploitive rules for society.

So, no you can't be apolitical. Armstrong is being selfish and privileged. He's signaling to employees that they need to shut up and make money. If I was working there, I'd be glad this was exposed now instead of later.
Ask HN: How do you find Hungry and Motivated people?
Really not trying to be clickbait here and it is a genuine question. As a founder of a SAAS company that is not really a startup but very small and established, I am always looking for people who are hungry and motivated for success. Lately, I am finding a lot of young people who are just looking for a job and the ones that are motivated/hungry just want to do their own thing. When I was young, I was motivated like crazy. Not trying to blow my own horn but it is disappointing to see that almost 90% of young/recent grad/college candidates I am talking to, motivation/attitude is missing.

Since we cannot pay Top Dollars like FAANGs or even a relatively mid level company, how else can you attract hungry and motivated people even though I can pay close to average market rates in my area? I can offer equity but it's meaningless for a private company at the moment at least. Do I just make peace with the fact that unless I can offer FAANG level money, it's game over ?
Most airports have temporarily suspended their slot usage rules. At the beginning of the pandemic some airlines flew empty flights on regular routes just to keep their slots but that hasn't happened much for several months now.

While it doesn't entirely meet your specs you can get a T495 with 32GB of RAM [0] and Vega graphics. We're getting close, I am holding on to my T470 as a daily driver and it's one of the best laptops I've owned (I'm forced to use a 16" MBP for work as well - and I still prefer the T470).

One of these years we'll get a comparable AMD laptop. Fingers crossed.

You're right, I guess all of the heavy travelers I know are just stumbling around in the dark and don't know what's going on.

I've used a bunch of them for corporate travel, and at no point has it been a breeze.
Knowing what fares are available on specific flights, seat assignments, etc. lets me get exactly the experience I want, without 'hoping they got me the seats I like' or anything.

For hotel bookings I don't see what advantage they have over either the basic hotel websites or calling my status hotline for assistance in tricky situations.

In all cases the travel agency removes my agency to work directly with the airlines or the hotel to fix issues.
If Bitcoin’s Price Is Stagnating, Its Fundamentals Are Skyrocketing
From those who haven't come across it, buku is a powerful bookmark manager written in Python3 and SQLite3. When I started writing it, I couldn't find a flexible command-line solution with a private, portable, merge-able database along with seamless GUI integration.

bukuserver exposes a browsable front-end on a local web host server.

buku can auto-import bookmarks from your browser(s) or fetch the title and description of a bookmarked url from the web. You can use your favourite editor to compose and update bookmarks. With multiple search options, including regex and a deep scan mode (particularly for URLs), it can find any bookmark instantly. buku can look up the latest snapshot of a broken link on the Wayback Machine. There's an Easter egg to revisit random forgotten bookmarks too! Buku doesn't track you; no hidden history, obsolete records, usage analytics or homing.

Where and how do you see the T2 chip being the mechanism that Apple stops reselling of hardware?

Yes it could be used that way. But they have never even indicated that they've been thinking of using the secure enclave for that purpose.
I don't think we disagree. One of Unity's founders once compared what they did, making a game engine for Mac, to building a ship in the desert. Then the iPhone App Store came along, like a tidal wave through the desert, and they've been riding that wave ever since.
Don't feel that way, judging by your response it's clear you never progressed past childhood.
I agree, the substitutions are key.

I have found an amazing lasagna recipe on allrecipes.

The first time I made it, it was way too salty. The trick was limiting the amount of Parmesan.

The other great aspect of allrecipes is the number of reviews. People are really into leaving reviews and ratings. Its not uncommon to find a recipe with several thousand reviews.

Why would they pull out? Taxis existed before Uber and others. Either a) Uber at scale can't compete with local taxi service which will return pretty quickly, (so Uber would die anyway in a long run) or b) they will be completely fine with a few tweaks around scheduling / number is drivers.
In fact, the fact it's ubiquitous is no coincidence and can be explained by the anthropic principle. The human body is a chemical machine too.

Yeah. "Bitcoin", "crypto-", and "block-" are instant tab closers.
> Hamza [another victim of UK -> US extradition, for terrorism] is allowed to communicate only with two named family members, one of whom is one of his sons. In a letter, Hamza had asked this son to tell his one-year-old grandchild that he loved him. Hamza was charged with an illegal message to a third party (the grandson). This had resulted in extension of the SAMs regime on Hamza, which still continues. In cross-examination, Dobbin was at pains to suggest this “I love you” may have been a coded terrorist message.

Wow. How can anybody be as heartless...
The Secure Enclave on the T2 chip was used to store secrets that were supposed to stay inaccessible, even to someone with physical access.

If you use a strong password to encrypt your drive you should still be safe, unless Apple did something really stupid. The password is used as a one-way hash to generate the key.

However if you can login with Touch ID and they find a way to use known SE exploits, it's compromised. Your fingerprint isn't a secret that gets hashed – instead it's verified by the SE which also holds the secret key for the drive.
Gitter is joining Matrix
I don’t want to have to manoeuver and tiptoe around shit all day long. I don’t want to have to think about whom I might unwittingly offend today because of something that happened yesterday that I’m unawares of today. I’m not seeking to offend anyone, but I also don’t want have keep a twitterpulse of what’s woke today vs yesterday.

I want a predictable workplace where people understand we’re not perfect and sometimes make untacful remarks without meaning to hurt. I want a forgiving workplace one where minor peccadilloes aren’t picked apart by vultures looking to score points.

There are big issues we can agree on. Energy, climate, crime, justice, etc., from a big picture perspective rather than an activist perspective. Activism is tiring. People get exhausted. Long term, people just want to make a living and be left alone if they are not being negative. You can’t live in a world where activism is a way of life like Cuba. Listen to the “Commandant” brother no 1. We have to up bread production right after we recite the revolutionary manifesto one more time before we join hands in community work for the revolution”. No, let me be in peace.
It also slows down the launch of every app because you're launching an app to launch your app. The idea that people would pay money, do a bunch of extra work and make their device slower just to change the appearance of their home screen because a handful of people on social media popularize it blows my mind.
I'll agree here as well. While I'd love to get more AMD centric options without Nvidia - they're not as bad these days as it was years ago. In fact I use an Intel NUC (Skull Canyon) as my daily desktop driver. The kicker is I wanted to do some OpenCV with Nvidia and run the NUC with an eGPU on Linux. I've been doing it for years and it works surprisingly well. It's gotten even better with 'egpu-switcher' [0].

This is all a form of privacy arbitrage. Users are trading their privacy in return for access to content at no $$ cost. The problem is that the deal is not fully transparent to the end user. The amount of privacy they are actually trading is far higher than they imagine.

The Blacklight tool is great in that it gives a user visibility into the actual privacy cost of a given website. Whereas they maybe thought their general interest in a topic was the only thing traded, they can now see in how much detail the tracking goes. Far beyond what most likely anticipated.
Call this a meta-conspiracy theory if you will, but I'm not convinced that flat-earthers actually exist in any kind of meaningful numbers. It strikes me as the kind of thing that's designed to stoke the fire of people on social media, which causes the "fight against flat earthers" to feature highly in everyone's consciousness, and make everyone believe that there's actually a movement when there isn't.

Add that to the number of people who will use it to wind people up, and answer "yes" on any survey just for a laugh, and I think you have what we have here.

I have no empirical evidence to back this theory up of course. How ironic!
I'm sure they're sophisticated enough to be able to render the website properly w/ JS. Search engines aren't just regular simple crawlers (not that I condone the use of JS for what could have been a simple static HTML & CSS page given how minimal it is).

DuckDuckGo: Google’s Android search engine auction is ‘fundamentally flawed’
Well, yes, it's Free Software, but at this quality level it is be totally fine to sell the ready-to-run binary at a cost.
Though it could be how reality works. Maths things like pi don't seem to need daemons calculating it for it to have a value. And perhaps likewise EM fields.
Maybe they think they’ll kill their own hype if they delay again. This makes me think they sent Sony and M$ incomplete games and will require a massive day one patch to add the rest.

In any event, I’m expecting postmortems from defectors once the game ships. I’m curious as to why they’ve had so many delays. One obvious variable is COVID-19 but mismanagement sounds like a candidate as well.

What that person can do in order of difficulty is talk to the person/group that they are made uncomfortable by, approach their manager about the issue, take the issue to human resources, leave for a competitor that will likely win in the long run with a better work environment, or ultimately sue for being discriminated based on a protected class.

None of these options require a company to adopt a political platform.
