I feel the same. The faq reads in summary “nothing is changing, for now” when it should be stating all of the changes that are about to come.

Knowing what I have learned over the last couple of years with changes at google ever since Larry page and pichai took over is that the fun is over and money should now be rolling in. And they are hiding the google effect of this acquisition.

In other words, the project is axed. But the enterprise management is cool. And where google will make their money on this bit.

Also we won’t support old hardware because enterprise does not like old hardware. And it stops people from buying better chromebooks.
I might be misunderstanding you, but doesn't lease signings being down support the argument that a large subset of NYC residents have left?
I've lived in a northern European city for an extended period. I paid higher taxes than in NYC. The difference in public transit, public schools, and social services (some of which I used) was night and day compared to NYC.

There are absolutely endless stories of NYC government incompetence [1] and corruption [2]. Here are a few recent stories that come to mind:

The politics of HN comes from where the users live. Most of the HN users live in tech hubs which are cities where most people who move there absorb the political views which helps them fit in.

Need to fit in is much more important to people than acknowledging the truth... mostly because the fear of being ostracized is one of the strongest and deepest human fears.

The only problem with downvotes is the rate limiting that HN applies to users who are frequently downvoted. Otherwise, I don't mind. I know these people are not downvoting me because they think I'm not adding to the discussion or violating guidelines or anything like that. It's precisely because I'm saying things they know is true but they have shadowed it in themselves and managed to convince themselves with other ideas just to try to fit in. So, when they see it out in the open, they feel very uncomfortable and want it to be hidden. I hope some of them will be inspired by by actions and see these things in themselves.

There's a real reason to do something similar if you're developing for a memory constrained devices with a API someone else will use.

If you have objects your API functions return that API consumers will use, you want to make sure the objects don't suddenly grow in size, since that would eat into the memory that the consumers expect to use. So, you'd pad those objects with unused fields, and then if you need to add a new field, you can just use that padding area.

Something similar applies if you're sending objects over the wire, since you may not want to increase the size of the message later.
Can you scroll to the bottom of that page and use the "Report a problem with this content on GitHub" link?

The raw content is not Markdown. It's HTML with some macros (called kumascript macros).

And yes, you can "host MDN locally" now. Before you had to write a web scraper, now you can just iterate over the files after a `git clone`. But you might need Yari to build the raw HTML to fully formed HTML that you can open in your browser.
For the UK, basic rules that cover residency for most are listed at <https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence>, with a link to the full rules for those not covered by the basic rules.
My suggestion for someone having difficulty keeping their speed in a 20% window was to aim 6 mph slower at highway speeds. That doesn’t constitute “far slower”.

In the Uk, if you are incapable of handling your car on a highway with other vehicles driving 12mph slower than the limit, then you are incapable of driving on highways - some vehicles e.g. HGVs are restricted to these lower speeds.
I haven't been to my office in the city center since March and it feels so much better to be spending my money on local businesses in my area than it does in a lot of the faceless corporate businesses in the city.

I've lived in this area for almost 3 years and feel far more connected to my area because of COVID.
I mean, the Adirondacks and Vermont are pretty amazing and are a weekend trip's distance away from New York. You can even reach them by daily Amtrak from New York. Poconos aren't very far either.

Ask HN: Former engineers, how did you transition your career to software?
Former non software engineers, how were you able to transition your career to being a software engineer/developer? I've heard of bootcamps, but are there better options?
Yes, one must see the most recent coverage to know the current story. ISTR someone had retired from CIA and was shopping a memoir around; apparently the only exploit he could mention on the record was that one time he got sick. Just his bad luck that in late 2020 we're mostly thinking about a different illness.

The only common element among USA facilities in Havana, Guangzhou, and Tashkent is the USA facilities themselves. Much like the situation described in TFA, those facilities were built by the most corrupt bidders. It will surprise no one when it is revealed that some corner was cut, and American personnel were exposed to harmful amounts of some ghastly chemicals, radiations, etc.

It is literally a conspiracy theory to reject this simplest possible explanation in favor of some outlandish three-way joint venture among the Cubans, the Chinese, and the Uzbeks, three nations not known for ever having done anything together.
It's weirdly weasel-worded, too, like... your company was acquired by Google. There is exactly 0% chance of there being no changes. Why even bother pretending otherwise? Does anyone actually believe that things aren't going to change?

EDIT: Like, it doesn't even have to be a bad thing! Sell it! Go hog with "we're integrating processes to make the product better for users" and "this will let us ship updates faster" and "you'll get more features now that we're an official Google product" (Android support, hopefully). There's no reason to go with this absurd premise that there will be no change (which nobody's going to believe anyways) when you could be saying "yes there will be changes and that's a good thing for you".
No, it isn't.

China's real threat is to any non-Han ethnic minority locked in the creepingly expansive orwellian nightmare of an empire that is gradually emerging.

Right now it's the Uighurs, and when the Dalai Lama bites it, and the false Panchen finds his false replacement it'll be the Tibetans too (or again).

America's ruling ideology is the almighty petro-dollar, and if you think the Chinese over-class is any less capitalistic or energy hungry than America's (albeit with a little extra corporate espionage and a few more paper dragons), you're mistaken and deluded.
They can and do still sell information about their customers, but they've promised that they have implemented reasonable safeguards.
You can be employee #2 of a startup, receive a lot of stock early on and then see it dillute to fractions of a cent. Perfectly legal.
> we’ve actually shown console footage, but never on the last-gen consoles. The reason is that we were updating the game on last-gen consoles until the very last minute, and we thought we’d make it in time. [...] That was not intended; we were just fixing the game until the very last moment.

This is absurd. They didn't hide console footage because they were sure they'd miraculously turn around the entire game at the last second; they hid it because they didn't want people to see it so they could have massive launch day sales. If you're going to apologize just apologize. Don't pretend it was some innocent oversight.
A tracking ID isn't PII, though?
thank you jesus
Shame I really liked this. I could watch stormy weather in the South of the USA, hurricanes rolling in. I even saw someone live streaming driving about in it.

The best ever use I got from it was watching the attempted coup in Turkey. I was able to see a news station get overrun, I saw bullets fired from helicopters against protests. The worse one was an armoured personal carrier getting surrounded and then other soldiers fire into the open APC after the occupants opened up.
> For me this is the single factor which has lead to so many of the problems inherent in the game.

This is absolutely not the case. The game was in dire straights long before Covid. (When did Poland lockdown?)

It's not clear to me that you can make the claim you made without providing some additional evidence as everything I've read about the project suggests that it has been in development for 8+ years, and has had a real rough go of things.
How interesting!

By the way, this brings back thoughts how astronomy used to be done with thin glass plates, doing wide area sky surveys. The plates would be placed into the plate holder, and some pressure was necessary to deform the plate to match the curvature desired.

They said you knew when you'd gone to far because you'd hear the tinkle of broken glass...

(they also baked the plates in hydrogen to increase their light sensitivity)
I think you have it backwards: Circumstances drive mindset, to large degree.

If I have a comfortable middle class job, and the assurance of keeping it for a long time, knowing I won't be laid off to pad 3rd quarter results, or forced to train my offshored replacement, yeah, I'll be much happier and satisfied with life.

The mindset change you describe is the direct result of a shrinking class and a generation of entrants to workforce with no expectations of permanence from the employer, and big expectations of being automated out of a job. It's hard to think long term when this is your life.
Carefully read through (bottom up--main, slre_compile, etc) this short implementation and all will be clear: http://slre.sourceforge.net/1.0/slre.c Also a great introduction to writing compilers.

>NYC is costly, but not as costly as people think

Oh come on, it's among the most expensive places to live in the world by almost any metric. Rent? Probably top 5 most expensive in the world. Groceries? Among the most expensive in the world. Restaurants? Among the most expensive in the world.
This is bare necessities. It's not as if people in Raleigh are spending massive portions of their budget on "Culture" that somehow NYC makes up for it.

>2. Property taxes are comparatively low to other states

Good luck buying in NYC... Not to mention some of the highest income taxes in the US.

> Why should my taxes go up to save your house?

Simple: because it is my house, not yours. Why should I lose my house so you can drive your car on a new road when there are other alternatives?
You can redirect to a commercial service as well.
So far on PC I’ve had a crash right after the character editor that caused the game to crash every time I open it. The next day a patch was pushed that fixed it. I could’ve even play on Day 1.

Dum Dum followed me around until I met Keanu’s character. He would move in front of people during cutscenes and I couldn’t even tell what was going on. Sometimes he would attack Jackie during combat and other times help us.

The first scene with the ripper doc was scrambled. Cutscenes played out of ordered or repeated.

Combat is like someone took Mass Effect 1 and combined it with a bunch of Bethesda bugs from Fallout and Skyrim.
I am very much a linux guy/tinkerer, and it is very very close to being a main phone. What really hurts me to not do it is lack of MMS (YMMV). (I would say for the average person, it is not there yet).

If you bricked it, I would be impressed. They made it very easy to flash, and made it easy to boot from an SD card.
I read through your source and it is non-obvious how it is relevant as a whole. It really just seems like a rationalization for a specific view point. The methodology is completely arbitrary. They just assigned seemingly whatever weights they wanted to a handful of loosely related statistical figures. I am not even sure WTH "wallethub" is anyway. It is essentially bullshit.

Also even if state X gets more federal $$ than state Y it is not useful information as each state is completely unique geographically, demographically, industrially, strategically, etc. So there are endless legitimate reasons money might be spent in one place over another.
To purist photographers though, it's a little deceptive to have computers modify the photo. It's hard to turn off all those ML augmentation settings on the iPhone. It brings back the old question of how much Photoshop is too much? Will phone photographers get disqualified from photo contests one day?

The Constitution is based on inalienable rights (speech, worship, privacy, etc.), but it's not a list of inalienable rights as such. There's nothing inalienable about presidential succession, bicameral legislatures, or the electoral college, for instance.
I've come up with what I think is reasonably relateble analogy.

If I want to build a 1000 brick wall and it takes a bricklayer 1 sec to lay a brick will getting 1000 brick layers allow me to build the wall in 1 sec?

If you analyse this analogy you see where you might be able to get some scale, such as pipeline and starting on different parts, but it highlights challenges there such as alignment and communication.

Hope you have a backup just in case.
I have never been on a busy motorway with everyone driving at or above the speed limit. Car drivers always vary between 55 and 70(+), and heavier vehicles are frequently as slow as 50. That is not a hazard. It would be a hazard were they to drive in the wrong lane, or fail to merge, but that’s a totally separate issue to the steady-state-avoid-speed-cameras which I was replying to.
> If you need more typesetting control than what Markdown allows, dropping down to HTML is always an option.

Is it? In the public setting? HTML comes with things missing from Markdown that you want, sure, but it also comes with a full scripting environment, the ability to arbitrarily inject code and so on.

If you can drop to HTML, you have to have a sanitiser process. So then you're dropping to some-unknown-subset of HTML if the process is automatic - or you've failed to reduce the amount of effort being put on the editors if it's a human one.
My favorite is the NY LLC publishing requirement. To start a business you must publish that you started a business for 6 consecutive weeks which costs thousands. Wonder what back door corrupt deal was made on that one.
The launch date for this game got pushed back multiple times. It was originally targeted for the then current gen consoles, and had many pre-orders on those consoles.
As quite a few googlers appear to read and write on HN, I'd really welcome an insider info on what's going on the last few days.

Sure there will be some internal turmoil going on right now, but isn't there some non-confidential info to share? Can't imagine this will hurt the image of google neither in the short nor long run, quite the opposite.
> The core of the game, the massive open world

Maybe it's just me, but I definitely wouldn't consider this the core of the game. For me the core is the single player story ("main quest" I guess). Maybe this is because I have played every CDPR game and The Witcher 3 is the only one so far with an open world and, and even there it was clear that the main story line was the crown jewel.
This is absolutely not what's happening here though. Facebook absolutely could keep the data within the EU, they just think it's more profitable to move UK user data to California. Now, it's a valid question as to why the UK would allow their constituents most personal data to be transferred out of their jurisdiction, but that's up to the UK government. Facebook exists in hundreds of jurisdictions, it's not rare for them to move user data out of a jurisdiction or intio a jurisdiction. It's almost unique that a govenrment encourages that by reducing regulation though.
I sincerely want to know who can afford to live in Tribeca on $140k per year. Let alone $84k.

I wouldn’t put too much weight into this data.
Be careful of abstract calls to action without specifics. Many calls to “reduce taxes” actually mean a subsidy for some industry in the form of targeted tax breaks. Reducing regulation just as often targets insiders as it does actually improve things.

Often after a dictator takes power they do a crackdown on ‘corruption’ which has popular support. What their actually doing is consolidating power, but if you call it a corruption crackdown then it sounds like a great thing.

What you want is someone that says something specific not platitudes which can mean anything, and are impossible to hold people accountable. Remove a single regulation and they can call it a win. But fail to go to the moon, build a wall, reduce spending etc, and they just failed.
Its fine that you are skeptic of FB. It is just that you seen unable to get that others can be very skeptical of EU regulations also.
Obviously the EU is a force against that, standardizing regulations across the whole EU. Facebook is changing how it relates to UK users because they have left the EU, of course.

At the moment there aren't really any significant contradictory laws/regulations I am aware of. Facebook could just choose to treat everyone as if they were protected by EU laws, but they choose not to. They didn't have to change how they relate to UK users, but they legally could and they chose to.
If only there were other choices besides progressive and conservative! /s
>> It’s less than 1% of the population.
>> How much of the tax burden did those people support?

That is really the question. One Elon Musk or Larry Ellison can leave town and carry away tax income equivalent to hundreds of other people.

Is there any breakdown of the class of people moving away? Specifically, i'd be curious if they are wage earners? passive income earners?
Sure, but their current industrial era infrastructure isn’t thousand of years old. Most of it is no older than the infrastructure in the US. Compare the size of London now with 200 years ago.
It is the country's third largest city. So by volume it may well be the murder capital. But the murder rate places it like 10th, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

I think that Apple is aware of how this has turned out and wants to change course. This is probably why in-app purchases are not allowed in the games in their new game subscription service.
They should be returning 421 for backend outages so that sending servers queue and retry the emails. 550 can be interpreted by some as deleted [1] or even banned accounts in some cases. Maybe someone here could convince them to change the logic that occurs during an outage.

Is there a modern alternative for bash that one can use to write bash script without having to write python? Something that looks decent if you are writing an if else, or for loop, etc.

Incoming Gmail is bouncing, but I'm still able to access all prior received messages.
They get shown ads that might be more relevant to them than just an ad picked at random, which might make them more likely to buy the product displayed in the ad. I guess that could lead to some extra harm to their wallets, but otherwise I am with you on this one.
Wiki says Cyberpunk started development in 2016. Wiki also says hardware design for Xbox Series X started in 2018.

Wouldn't Cyberpunk team have been developing the game for 2 years before rumors even surfaced about the development of a next gen console?

The time lines don't seem like they line up to only building it for a next gen console that didn't have hardware architecture planned out yet.
TL; DR:

> In this paper we introduce a new type of covert channel that exploits Wi-Fi to leak data from air-gapped networks. The AIR-FI attack introduced in this paper does not require Wi-Fi related hardware in the air-gapped computers. Instead, we show that an attacker can exploit the DDR SDRAM buses to generate electromagnetic emissions in the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi bands and encode binary data on top of it. We also show that nearby Wi-Fi receivers, such smartphones, laptops, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, can receive and decode the modulated data, and then send it to the attacker via the Internet.

No built-in Wi-Fi hardware required, only user-space access needed, and works with-in VMs.
They may be using the paid, enterprise G Suite/Google Workspace Gmail: https://workspace.google.com/products/gmail/.
This is also on the console makers. They brought PC fragmentation to the consoles by making different versions of the same console over the decade.

To make it worse, they will not let a publisher publish just to PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. Your game has to work on all versions of the console.

It's beyond idiotic and I'm surprised it took so long for the consequences to be visible.

I'm glad Sony at least seems to have backed away from fragmenting their own platform in this generation.

CDPR should have done their due diligence, obviously, but the platform owners have done them no favors by adding another dimension to the testing matrix.
