> if the prices were raised to sustainable levels, would the market be big enough

It was big enough in tier-1 cities when it required someone at the restaurant writing down the order, hiring a delivery person and dealing with disgruntled customers. They have at least that market with economies of scale.
Nobody's saying you should be required by law to use HTTPS. Voting is a social duty too and it's not mandatory.

Show HN: A CLI to set up container environments in AWS
The user can do whatever they want. It's their machine. But you know perfectly well that almost everybody is going to take the default because they don't even know what the setting does, and end up disabling content blocking when they didn't intend to.

And in many cases the user is the network operator. What the browser is doing is taking away the mechanism to set local policy. Ordinarily you hand out the DNS you want your devices to use via DHCP, and they use it. If you move that from the OS to the application and the application ignores the DHCP setting by default, now you've lost the ability to set a uniform policy for all your devices and applications. It becomes an arduous manual process to change the setting in every application on every device, and then you probably miss half of them.
Fake it until you make it ;)
There is a lot to wonder about here like...

Should people be comfortable with Amazon tracking their drug purchases alongside all the other tracking they do of them?

How will Amazon use the tracking information from drug purchases?

Amazon has copied many patented products to sell under their own brand. Would they do that with drugs and use the same tactics?

I must admit I found the complaints about the license on my own project, which boiled down to you didn't make it freely available so we could steal it and use it for our own much better funded project without any cost, darkly amusing.
There are a ton of books that are inappropriate for use in the classroom. I can’t get too excited about that.
This seems like the common mistake of trying to optimise for individual efficiency at the expense of the rest of the system.

Yes, overhead will be higher, but since capacity also will be higher, cycle time will go down much more (non-linear effect) and you'll extract important value and feedback out of the tasks sooner, easily paying for further capacity improvements.
Are you serious? Bitcoin is not an inflation protected or anything-protected asset. It’s value goes up and down because of few large players including state. In other words, it’s anyone’s imagination what it’s value will be. A much better option for most people will be to open a free investment account and simply by SPY. They can do it using an app and it’s far less complex as well as safer than evaluating individual Bitcoin exchanges who no one controls and many are downright shady. Unlike Bitcoin SPY is technically US federal government protected asset because US government will always intervene if it’s values dip more than 20% as it affects everyone’s 401Ks and would cause removal of leaders in government. Unlike Bitcoin, SPY is truly inflation protected and ALSO delivers real dividends.

In all three cases I mentioned, as far as I know there was either immediate indication or suspicion raised within the 1st year, but took several years to reach conclusions.

The polio case was very clear very quickly, the others not so much.

There's quite a bit about long term autoimmune response that we don't understand. I'm not up-to-date on everything, but from what I remember, strep-A infection is associated with increased likelihood of RA decades later; Epstein Barr exposure (causing Giullan Barre in children and Mono in adults) is associated with higher probability for MS, and there are a few other such suspected causalities - autoimmune diseases are no joke, and it seems like they can be triggered by either a pathogen (virus, bacteria) or a vaccine (which is designed to provoke the same kind of immune reaction without letting the pathogen do harm).

On average to society, it is almost sure that if nothing becomes suspicious within a year, it is a net gain.

To individuals, the question is much more complicated - autoimmune diseases often appear in clusters; I think it is prudent for people with a history (or even family history) of autoimmune disease to hold off as much as they can - as it may take years or decades to figure out how it effects the unlucky ones (of which they are much more likely to be).

Coil micropayments platform leaks user emails in 'Privacy Policy' update
Coil has accidentally exposed some of its users' email addresses in a mass email announcement sent out today.

Ironically, the mishap happened within an email announcement related to the company's Privacy Policy updates.
Never use pull, always use fetch. You shouldn't merge changes into your remote tracking branch, it causes nothing but problems.
If you are worried about your ability to validate DKIM signatures tomorrow on emails you own today, you can work-around this by timestamping the emails via something like opentimestamps.org. This would prove that those emails and their DKIM signatures existed today. The next step would be proving that nobody has leaked server's DKIM private keys before the date of timestamping.
Ask HN: Which No-Code Mobile App Development Tool You Use?
Can you recommend which is the best no-code tool for developing mobile apps. I would like to build a basic app which will have authentication, sessions, Firebase database, etc.
Sadly I think you are right; but it's scary that we've come to the point where seeking privacy in itself is suspicious behavior.
"Maybe it's time to ask security questions during SE interviews instead of algos?"

I don't want to hear the answers. My faith in humanity is already hanging by threads.

I know this is my problem. It's really hard for me to not flip the Bozo Bit. To take both the good along with the bad every person has to offer.

Story time.

I worked near "Chris", a tech lead senior architecture fella. Same product group, different code bases, thank god. I disagreed with pretty much everything Chris said, but I accepted that we're all opinionated and it's more important to be consistent than to be right (correct). So long as his team kept shipping, Chris could do whatever he wants.

Until.

Because Chris was loud, large, older, and a boar -- exemplar of mansplainer -- he was influential. He convinced most of the people within ear shot (half of the floor) that password wallets were a terrible idea. I kept listening, to hear the rationale. Maybe he had a legit reason and I was the clueless noob.

Nope. "Single point of failure. If someone cracks your wallet, you're fully pwned."

Chris is why that product group could not, would not adopt any credentials (secrets) management strategy. It was all wikis and PostIt notes.

Reflecting back, it now occurs to me that hoarding the credentials may have been Chris' gatekeeping power move. Hmmm.
If it were a simple case of "here's a better option" there would be no need to ban it. If it were a perfect substitute, then teachers would just switch over to the other option, and if not then there's no reason that a class can't read two books dealing with racism. No, you don't ban a book to encourage the reading of another, you ban a book to suppress it.

>We won't progress to a world where flights become a luxurious rarity, rather we will progress to a world where flights cause less emissions.

I wouldn't be too optimistic on that. We've already reached a point of massively diminishing returns on fuel efficiency with commercial airliners. Boeing spent billions of dollars and a decade designing the 787 to achieve a fuel efficiency gain of <10% over the 30 year old 777 [0]. The reality is that airliners are just extremely carbon intensive by their nature. And there is almost zero possibility that jet fuel will be replaced by battery or fuel cell technology for a long long time to come.

> wouldnt keeping a fixed price solve the issue?

It depends on what “the issue” is. If the issue is that they want to allow some poor-but-lucky people to win the right to buy tickets below the market-clearing price, then keeping a fixed price doesn’t solve that issue.

If I’m understanding you correctly, that already exists as Square Online, although I think they’re a bit more expensive than that. A lot of restaurants near me use it.

I agree that Git is hard, but with the right explanation and a good graphical GUI like SourceTree, I've gotten non-technical team members up to speed on it!

I think the hard part is explaining the distributed nature of the tool, where your branches are completely separate from the branches on the server. When I'm explaining it, I usually talk about branches as work streams, and merging branches means merging work together.

What kind of things tend to trip people up when explaining Git? Maybe I should write a blog post or something...
Am I reading this right? Is the new mac mini competing with a Ryzen 5950X? The whole mac mini costs the price of that processor alone. This is insane.

This appears to a failure of the product management staff, who are either incompetent, inadequate, or nonexistent.
They state in the article:

> As we’ve had very little time with the Mac mini, and the fact that this not only is a macOS system, but a new Arm64-based macOS system, our usual benchmark choices that we tend to use aren’t really available to us.

I think most other benchmarks weren't compiled for MacOS on ARM yet.

Yes, but that's not available in generally available email clients. There are OTP extensions to IMAP.

> I don't trust webmail at all because I don't audit the JavaScript

This. We are working on one that uses no JS or just conditinaly for enhancements.

Glad I am not the only one thinking that =)

> A lot of people are using a weak password as first factor, btw. Do you protect against such?

No, we set a minimum 6 char password. However we think it is less secure to have a complex one you canot remember than one of average strength.

There's a ton of trusted roots across multiple countries. I think the odds are virtually nil that none of them would let you have a certificate.
The main problem I run into with git is communicating with my teams about editing history and how they shouldn't.

Particularly on teams that like to keep main clean and avoid reverts and merge commits in favor of rebasing. Thankfully my current team likes to keep their PRs clean and main is whatever works.

That and merge conflicts, especially on a stale branch. I use cli for most things and Intellij's merge tool for merge conflicts because I can get a clear view of what's what.
Both are evil from a woke perspective so what’s your point?

>How many criminals are the offspring of other criminals? To what extent could the crime problem be solved in a single generation by ensuring that teenage offenders are locked up throughout their reproductively active years (instead of forever dipping in and out of prison on short sentences) to ensure that they don't reproduce?

Maybe we should forcibly sterilize anyone we don't like? At least anyone we can't lock up and use for free labor.

Or maybe you could kiss my fat American ass?
I really don't see the issue. I've never struggled with git and it's already a muscle memory for me.
Intriguing. Nreal Light AR glasses provide a nicely readable 1080p at 2 meters, ~2 m ~45 deg wide, and 3D (but fixed focus, so long-term comfort suggests keeping that shallow). Which raises the question of what novel UIs for text are enabled by having a head-tracked shallow-3D display with laptop-like fov? Simply panning around a large virtual traditional desktop being meh.

I'm a bit surprised by their tagline "Integrated King, Discrete Rival".

I'm using an Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black 15" from 2016. On Aztec Ruins Normal Offscreen, I get 270fps. So my 4 year old $800 laptop is still faster than the brand new M1. It seems Anandtech chose a very Apple-friendly set of laptops to compare to.
Maybe the entire idea is too high level and just tries to do too much? This approach creates edge cases where the abstractions break down.

The ideal tool is good in the general case, and still reliable in the edge case.
Anyone who thinks that any tool will make systems administration and automation "simple" has drank the kool-aide of some sales pitch.

Systems administration and automation is complex.

That being said I've found Ansible to be the most useful tool for the job. It does the things I need it to and new modules are usually easy to incorporate into my work if I need specific tasks done. It has its shortcomings but it hasn't blown up into an unmaintainable mess like many of the other solutions I've poured hundreds of hours into.

YAML is not fun, but it's been good enough for the task of pushing parameters around.

> And you'll create a business model for all sorts of more efficient technologies. And you'll make green energy pay for itself so quickly everyone will be installing it.

History doesn't agree with your view, if anything it creates a perverse market wherein people who benefit from the status quo pay people who don't in order to skirt their supposed environmental responsibilities and commitments as they continue as they did before. Just look at the Carbon Credit model and the relationship Tesla had with the big auto manufactures [0].

> As a spokesman for Fiat Chrysler said: “Until demand catches up with regulatory requirements, and there is regulatory relief, we will use credits as appropriate.”

I worked for VW during Diesel gate, and I can tell you that this is standard operational procedure for the Industry and what made me quit in utter disgust. It will not change course unless dire, existential consequences are imminent. And it has to be more severe than what Diesel-gate cost VW.

You could argue this gave Tesla a lifeline that it otherwise wouldn't have had during its early years after the original Roadster was released and they were working on the Model S, but those are tertiary effects at best and consequential more than anything.

In short, no, nothing seems to indicate that is what occurs when you allow the State to create such a system as it will always allow for exemptions if their is profit to be made.

Making individual people at these corps responsible for things like Ecocide and have the dire consequences (actual prison time) for the infractions multi national corps currently get out of with political bribes (campaign contributions and fundraising) and lobbying would be a much better start.

Some VW execs got thrown in jail and VAG lost ~$12 billion from diesel gate, and yet the brand gained Market share in certain emerging markets that offset those losses. Incidentally, many other manufactures (Ford, Subaru, Mazda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Nissan-Renault, Harley Davidson) were all caught cheating emissions as well and weren't nearly as punished in the US. In fact Nissan was able to purchase Mitsubishi Motors US outright in the midst of the VW fall out with no scandal.

Right, the lack of understanding comes from bashing OOP from FP angle, without realizing that all FP languages that left academia and are actually used across the industry support the same principles in one way or the other.

I'm curious what other people think the informational value of these hearings are. It seems like it is either posturing and grandstanding, or reasonable questions to which evasive or non-answers are given.

A jump to conclusions, if you will.
Don't forget `rebase -i`, `reflog`, and `bisect`.

Rebasing is always a good skill to know for when someone inevitably commits binary files or secrets to a repo and you have to do a bit of surgery to fix it.

Bisect of course isn't required knowledge but by god is it one of the most useful git commands a developer could know.
