Likewise perhaps the next generation Apple TV.
At the time I was a sound guy and was regularly out 'till 2:00am+, drinking the whole time and back up for work at ~8:00. You clearly know how that changed. I still went out, both of my local spots had good N/A beers (try Kaliber if you have the desire) but that was another complete lifestyle change for me. I wasn't photostrobic sensitive so I lucked out there.
Devices with CPUs? Which would those be?
You say that as if we ought to present an alternative to jQuery and PHP, but they are perfectly good tools for what they do. You wouldn't want to use React for a simple informational website and neither should you want to.

I would like to see a backend framework similar to Laravel (/Rails/Django). I'm not quite sure why there isn't one in JS but it would be a big productivity boost. 90% of PHP development will be either Laravel/Symphony, Wordpress or Drupal.

I would have said it the first time, at least.

The House didn't pass HEROES dozens of times.
This is a cool idea. I had the brilliant dumb idea to do it for Melee, so Melee took my wrists and smashed them with a hammer. :(
I’ve been running two airbnbs for two years, with over 1000 nights hosted, and I’ve had none of those things. The worst that’s happened is a guest broke a chair, which they apologised over and paid for.

People are generally decent.
Might be a location thing. I see people (mostly high school and university students) wearing them pretty frequently.
"I'm not sure that explains the inability to swallow the new official line."

How official is it?

In the US, at least, the government spent many millions of dollars (hundreds of millions? billions?) on anti-drug education campaigns for decades, and there was mass media hysteria against drugs for decades.

There are still no comparable pro-drug education campaigns, and while there have been some positive research results and positive media coverage on some drugs, the message overall is pretty mixed, and there's still plenty of anti-drug hysteria in the media and anti-drug messages from the government today.

It's probably going to take a long time to change the minds of most people who grew up soaked in anti-drug propaganda.
When I visited Beijing I mistakenly referred to the exercise grounds in a park as kid's playgrounds... turns out they're actually there for seniors to use and they sure do... crowded every day. Sidewalk food vendors along every street also promote socializing.

Chinese friends of mine would like to bring their parents from China, but they're having nothing to do with it. They don't want to lose the active social network they have at home.
To be clear, I'm not arguing for a return to hunter-gatherer society. But we should certainly consider the environment that our bodies and minds were developed and optimized for, and that our species lived in for 99% of its history, as we decide how to structure our current environment.

To say that evolution is a "red herring" is absurd. It has literally determined every aspect of our being. You can't move forward without understanding what got you where you are.
I've had many bad experiences with airbnb. Also some really great (esp in the beginning), but usually those were huge places.

AirBNB is often more expensive, is a hassle with getting a key some times (other side of the city wtf), NO support in case electricity fails, some had dirty laundry. etc etc.
"Reasonable" is a perfectly good word for it - unfortunately I found it impossible to efficiently communicate with Bob. You raise a good point about others adapting to his needs. Apart from one other person, everyone in the engineering team had been there >5yrs.
They've done this before. They also hid messages in the noise floor from 1 to 30 Mhz as part of a challenge / game with the Soviet Union. They also hid messages in AC power fluctuations. Sorry I don't have any references.

If they're the pro-Apple lemming, how aren't you just the anti-Apple lemming with a statement like that?

How is this good tech discussion if, to talk about this gadget with you, someone has to work out how you were mislead to believe these things are paperweights in a few years and can't be serviced?

These topics always remind me of the Xbox vs PS2 debates my friends and I engaged on the internet at age 16. Just ridiculous claims in both directions. Funny how times never change.
It isn't really surprising when those foreign powers are actively hostile not only to your country, but to fundamental moral principles you hold dear.

To be clear, it's definitely not at all better in any meaningful sense for Google/the US government to have your data. But sometimes it's about the principle of the thing.

Older generations? I hope you aren't talking about the baby boomers who practically created drug culture.

My answer would be: The cost of distributing or running a software package is almost zero, same is not true for hardware, followed by an argument of how hardware manufacturing depends on the economics of scale, unlike software.

However, I soon realized your question is much deeper. It is not "Would you not buy an open source printer?", but "If you can buy an open source phone, would you not buy a printer?" - I think it's a good thought-provoking question. I'm not sure about the answer yet.
When my father's father passed away, my grandmother sold the house and bought a mobile home, which was put about 50 feet from her daughter's house. (This was in rural Pennsylvania.) It worked out great for more than 30 years. She could be alone, she could be with family.

We Call DNA a Language. Is It?
All you really to do to fix that is have the ammendment require the test study material (small book) be provided via mail upon request. Or some other means. If you have an ammendment that requires this, anyone targeted by manipulation can sue for their constitutional rights. Most of the past manipulations are attacks on older laws that were less specific and required judicial interpretation to determine applicability.
Gravitational Rebrands to Teleport, Promises Environment-Free Computing
The sad thing is that SN9 was meant to be moved to the launch pad on monday next week already. This is pretty certainly not going to happen as one of the rear flaps is damaged.

Maybe assessing and fixing the damage would not even be worth it since SN10 and successors are being built right now? (Parts belonging to prototypes up to SN16 have been spotted by a local SpaceX fan already.)
Also, why not make it so that they can be used passively? What's the downside?

If by passively you mean plugged into a headphone port, the answer is that they can’t because they need power. Their big selling point is supposed to be computational audio. That obviously doesn’t work without the compute part, which in turn requires power.
I have a surfaceBook- I never take off the keyboard. I would never use a touch-screen on a laptop as finger marks on the screen are not optimal for working.
Build on WeBase, Deploy to Netlify
A big part of Apple's brand is that things generally work. I don't need to do a ton of research on the exact pros and cons of other products, I don't have to make sure that a particular brand's model wasn't silently replaced with a cheaper version with the same SKU, that service options do exist (though expensive), and that there's a robust secondary market of Apple devices.
Refactoring as Anxiety Relief
Two arguments can be made. On the one hand, there are definitely more private places to be rented out then there are hotel rooms in those 5 chains. On the other hand, I'm not entirely sure that Airbnb can ever be profitable enough with all of those rentable places to justify the cost, especially since much of their stock is misused long term rental capacity that many municipalities are cracking down on now.

So yes, it is rather unlikely that Airbnb will grow enough to justify the market cap. This is tech bubble hype at it's epitome.

The best part about all of this, is that a company called PetCo recently IPO'd as well. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanverdon/2020/12/04/pets-are-...

So ya, we're probably going to get hurt real bad at some point.

Most machines with decent drivers also have flawless sleep. This includes NUCs, many Thinkpads, etc.

In general, Linux runs really well if you filter hardware a bit ahead of purchase. For example, an all Intel machine with Intel wireless card will rarely give any trouble.
That's weird cause here in Texas I see them a lot and the only places I'm going right now are grocery stores, walmart/target, and home improvement stores.

If you took public transportation or go any place young people hang out you would see them too. (Malls or coffee shops)
That's really interesting, I see it all the time in NYC. Where are you located? Perhaps it has something to do with urban v suburban v rural? Or a cultural thing?

Social media as it currently exists isn't going to substitute personal relationships. It misses the trees for the forest (personal vs tribal). To me, it feels like being at a party where I only know a handful of people and I have to shout to communicate with the people I do know. But, technology can connect people with shared interests and activities and facilitate one-on-one communication. People who are into baseball cards or bird watching can find each other. Technology has the capacity to enrich long term relationships. I think we're still figuring it all out.
No one really knows what is tolerated by public markets right now. Tech stocks are in a speculative bubble caused by zero rates and a flood of money from the Fed.

It isn’t as if Airbnb can’t sell more shares at $150 now in a secondary offering if they wanted to. The IPO is just one point in time.
I too appreciate the subtitles and I tend to have them on when I watch+listen to a DVD. You can even click on the sentence and the video jumps to that point. However ... a little proof-reading would help here. To get things started gets transcribed into Ticketing, sir.
yeah System 76 is a solid laptop, granted they do maintain PopOS which is the default OS on their systesm. so they do indeed have more custom hardware support which is why it's such a good marriage.
Lucky you.
Still, it's not a UK only tax, as you originally claimed.
Well I pay Apple for two devices now, laptop and iPad, rather than just one.

I think at some point they will eventually do it, but why rush it while you’re still raking in money.

I’m suspicious multi-user iPad support is delayed for similar reasons. Many spouses have their own iPad now, when they could probably share if there was multi user support.

> "a lying huckster"

Rather rude, don't you think?
I generally believe Facebook and other social media platforms are bad. I can also absolutely recognize that most people complaining about them don't seem to articulate their reasoning well or in some cases at all.

In the article, Matt claims

>There's a lot more that you have to do than just break them up. But the answer is, it would improve things dramatically if they were broken up, and you don't have to imagine it.

Facebook has been doing their practices that deserve criticism before they became a "financial conglomerate". If they are broken up, they will not stop poisoning people's news feed overnight. Things will NOT dramatically improve.

In fact I believe if Facebook is forced to break off instagram and other companies, things may get worse. They would need to try harder to make more revenue using less users / screen time.

Breaking up Facebook would most likely be a good thing, but I personally believe as long the news feed exists, the negatives that Facebook brings will be there.
Yeah, "no DOM in tests" is actually a pretty good mantra.

Code that is just inspecting the DOM to find elements, or to do stuff to them that is just working up to the state where you can actually test something, should be in some shared object/library, but that is as easy as:

import { Whatever } from '/foo/bar';

Having that kind of code outside of the test probably makes the introductory "test hello world" example more complicated, but I think it's definitely a good practice in the real world, and isn't documented well.
This is probably the most vapid argument I've ever seen on HN. Great job team

Interactive brokers currently has over 280k shares available for short selling, at a fee rate of 0.25%.
No, it is because of a demographic shift due to oversized non-workforce immigration. Due to this, there are more and more areas characterized as "special vulnerable" (my translation of a Swedish police term). This is partly explained in English on this wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulnerable_area

The page shows how they have evolved since 2015 but if you go back to 2000 or so, they were just a handful.

Basically, the immigration has been larger than the society can "organically" integrate, and the result are new structures in society which did not exist before.
Title should definitely have `dbg!` in it rather than "Dbg"
I don't even necessarily think its just leaving your baby alone with other people. Pre-covid with a <1 year old and a toddler we would have play dates all the time for a break. You stop being the source of entertainment and become a mediator, which is much less work. The baby then gets passed around to whoever has a free hand.

I suspect there has always been pressure to not leave your baby with someone else and go off and do your own thing. The difference is now people are physically more distant from everyone else (I blame the ease of transportation) so being around close friends and family is the exception and not the standard.
Ultimately, "disability" (the word irks me because it's a weasel word) is ultimately normative and teleological. That is, someone is disabled when they lack something they ought to. Pace Hume about is/ought, human nature is your reference point about what ought to be the case. Despite what teleophobic biologists claim, biology could not function without telos. Indeed, no science could because there would be no explanation for why a particular effect results from a particular cause.

In a mechanistic universe, no such teleology exists and nothing truly makes sense anymore. But for the most part, mechanists, like skepticists, exist only in highly rarefied environments like graduate seminars, or deployed selectively to rationalize some perverse desire. And when this mechanism does enter daily life, it does so to their detriment.

This puts me more at ease about choosing to have children later in life. If I wait till late 30s, perhaps then I could push the curve a bit farther toward the end of my useful life, and spend less time alone.
^^ this. Hard spending limits seem great until your app/service gets super popular and you have to explain to the CEO why you were down during the exact window you needed to be serving the demand.
I still wonder sometimes if someone could have successfully run against Mr. Johnson with a single-purpose campaign of "Stop Brexit" and the promise of holding a new election as soon as possible after a Brexit revocation.
So....why are you here at all? Why bother replying to any of these comments, if you're not actually interested in the discussion in the slightest? Like, I get it - you don't care. And? Not caring isn't some new radical stance you know.

This is absurd. Just stop using Facebook yourself. It's by far the most democratic reaction you can have. Arguing for bringing in the use of government violence against them is unethical to the point of being evil.
I don’t really know why you’re so caught up in this.

Airbnb could take advantage of their stock price and issue more shares in a secondary offering tomorrow if they wanted to and “screw” the investors who doubled their money in a day by diluting them. It’s not like this was their one shot of raising money ever again.

There’s really nothing for Airbnb to be mad about.
I find it interesting that he refuses to wear wireless headphones while podcasting because he can't tolerate the latency. But he's perfectly fine with it when watching a movie? Lip synch latency drives me crazy once I notice it.
There seem to be quite a lot of news about hidden cameras in Airbnbs though
My Thinkpad is the only computer I've ever had hibernate issues with.

At some point three or four years ago there was an article I saw where someone realized the way Linux handled memory layout during hibernate was way over complicated and they redid it much more simply. Ever since then I haven't had any issues with hibernate, either on my Thinkpad or my multiple Dell machines.

I did have a fun regression recently where my ~10 year old desktop machine started randomly hanging and it seems to be a regression of some sort in the nouveau drivers since reverting to a previous kernel version fixed the issue.
I would add that this is also related to "The 30 million line problem" aka massive OS complexity due to a plethora of heterogenous hardware.

The most honest answer is: we don't know if Apple will still service them then, because they've never made a product like this for comparison. We also don't know whether non-Apple service centers will be able to service them later, which might even be a more important question. (Once your device is out of warranty and AppleCare coverage, Apple's repairs are going to be pretty pricey even if they're still available.) But I don't think saying "well, they only support phones and computers for a few years after they stop making them" is necessarily a guidepost here.

> Also, why not make it so they can be used passively? What's the downside?

My quasi-educated guess is part marketing, and part technology. The marketing part: Apple considers these AirPods Pros that cover your ears, and insist that they have all the AirPods Pro features. The technology part: from what I can tell, these headphones are DSP-ed up the wazoo, more like HomePods than AirPods, so there's a good chance that passive mode will sound like crap.

I know a practical counter-argument is "so what, there are other active noise-cancelling headphones that let you switch them to passive mood and they sound like crap when you do that and everybody's just okay with it," but, that is not Apple.

(For the record, the AirPods Max are not on my shopping list.)
Native means you have access to the hardware through the kernel of your choice, it's not about performance.

If there is a hypervisor in between you and your CPU - let alone emulation - you lose direct access to things like performance counters (which I need to be able to do a lot of things I enjoy programming). On top of that you also now have to trust (this isn't even security, the implementation can be buggy) a hypervisor - they effectively have to mimic the behaviour of a CPU, they aren't perfect.
