On iOS I’d heavily recommend GrooveBox and (recently-released) Flip for creating tunes on the go. GrooveBox is synth driven, Flip is sample driven, and both are great at working on sketches in your free time. Before the pandemic, I spent many a bus-ride commute making short songs in GrooveBox.
In fact, it stops them almost all the time.
And supply chains aren’t necessarily constants. They can flip overnight when some distant vendor lights the contract on fire after the audit is complete by switching to a cheaper source, pocketing the difference. The most newsworthy instances often involve steel and catastrophic failure. People in this comment section saying that Apple executives should be held criminally liable have a very naive understanding of how long the tentacles of the supply chain go for anything made with more than a few raw materials.

We need legislation here where businesses cannot have all these hidden fees anymore. Right now the food deliveries like DoorDash take a cut from the restaurants, add a delivery fee, a service fee, a small order fee, a city fee (if the city caps their maximum commission), a tax and then try to guilt the customers into tipping the drivers 20%.

This nonsense needs to stop. All prices should include all the fees so customers can comparison shop.

Worst of all at some grocery stores I've come across POS devices that ask for a tip. It's annoying. These need to be outlawed.

I'm all for drivers and restaurant workers making more money but mandatory "tip" and various hidden fees is not the way to go.
The military and security services have deployed vast, illegal domestic spying networks, on the basis that if USians give up their privacy, they will be able to exchange it for safety.

Here we see that not only is that untrue, but also that even with tips they can't seem to get basic, non-surveillance policework right.

Remind me again why we tolerate these abuses in the name of safety? We and they now know they aren't being used for safety, if indeed that was even possible.

What else could and will these massive surveillance powers be used for?

As technology accelerates, it's going to become easier and easier for a crazy person to inflict massive damage. With a knife, you can only kill a few people. With a gun, you can only kill a few dozen people. With a bomb, you can only kill a few hundred people.

Eventually, the only way to solve this problem will be mass surveillance.

I've seen search warrants issued on a lot less. You seem to be unfamiliar with what judges consider sufficient for a warrant, in practice.

The idea that normal people are somehow protected from search warrants if they're not doing anything wrong is... not supported by facts.

Hello! Oregonian neighbor here. You mean fourty-eight other states, at least. In Oregon, we the people are delegated the ability to change the state constitution and statutes. Sometimes this is used for stupid things, but often it allows us to override a stubborn legislature. Recall that we have a problem where sometimes our Republican representatives like to take vacation in Idaho with paramilitary insurrectionists; nonetheless, we can still be leaders in drug decriminalization.

I agree that question is difficult to answer, but it still exists even if everyone lives in same area and earns the same amount.

The question is better backwards I think. Should your personal cost of living be factored into your wage for the same work?

And the truth is there is a market rate for labour (usually regionally) and that affects the viability of businesses where they fail if market wages are too high for them to make a profit.

So likely if you work for an established business, you're getting paid less than the value you're creating, and if you work for a startup that question has not yet been answered.

A very flippant "HN techbro libertarian" response. Pretty much everything that is not constitutionally protected as a right can be regulated, why would you possibly think that it couldn't?

Yes, you absolutely could lobby for someone to write a law requiring Google to respond to nuisance requests from their navigation services. That is basically what DMCA does, after all.

Hypothetical example law: OK, you have a good-faith presumption up until someone emails you a copy of a deed and proves it's their driveway, then you legally need to correct it within X days or penalties start to rack up.
That’s how our system works today, how it has worked for a long time, and how it should continue to work. The Fourth Amendment calls for “probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation”. If someone says they personally witnessed another person building a bomb in their car, that is more than enough grounds for a search warrant.
No, clickbaits are usually disallowed in the title. The rule is use original title, most of the time it's indeed an anti-clickbait rule (although some false negatives are unavoidable).

> Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important.

> [...] Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

My personal observation, there are three types of bad titles.

1. Clickbait titles editorialized by a submitter to make everyone know how great/important the article is.

2. Clickbait titles from the source.

3. Non-descriptive title from the source.

60% of the bad titles are Type-1 title from the submitters (as everyone who ever browsed Reddit would know). To prevent such behaviors, the "use original title" rule is implemented on Hacker News.

30% of the titles are Type-2 title. On Hacker News, if many readers loudly criticize that the original title is misleading, eventually a moderator will correct it manually.

10% of the titles are Type-3 title, non-descriptive title that contain little information, but it's neither misleading or clickbait. On Hacker News, usually, nothing happens. This article is one of them. Also, any attempt to change the title could be seen as Type-1 title editorialization, so the original title remains. So sometimes, even after the title has been changed by the submitter to be more descriptive, it could be reverted back to the original, non-descriptive one.

> This site doesn't allow comments without substance, but for some reason link titles don't have the same standards.

Whenever people compliant that Hacker News allows non-descriptive titles, please consider the fact that "use the original title" does more good than harm in general with a false negative rate of only 10%, which is a small price to pay.
No, not according to Wasabi’s incident page. It’s pretty funny though to see GoDaddy suspending domains for abuse when they can’t get their own house in order.

So one of my takeaways from all of this is we cannot wait long enough based on current methods anymore. This virus is just one and it is likely to get worse. We need to invest now into large scale computer simulation of vaccines or things will become much worse. There is risk here, however I feel strongly that if we do need to move faster or today will become normal and that cannot become the normal! I read that most of the vacancies only took a few weeks for the scientist to create, however the current testing methods are why we are nearly 9 months to delivery. We as a society have to invest on new methods to move forward creation to delivery faster.

> They did their due diligence

Police in the US have no duty or obligation to investigate, prevent, or respond to crime, or complaints of crime/potential crime in any way.

There is no such thing as "due diligence" when it comes to policing. It is a common misconception. They are not obligated to police.
They didn't just decide to "skip" long term effect studies. Long term effects can be studied only over a long term. No one wants to wait five or more years with the world in disarray.

Tesla IMO is just less greedy. They provide class leading safety, range, acceleration, and don't nickle and dime you. The battery packs have generous lifetimes and they have an Apple like good (rwd), better (AWD), and best (AWD performance) setup.

Try to buy a Lexus, BMW, MB, etc and you get a huge laundry list of incompatible features that bundle in the options you want into expensive bundles. So much so that to get even the basic safety things like rear view cameras and decent headlights laws had to be passed and companies embarrassed with poor safety ratings because their headlights were unsafe at highway speeds and much worse than a Toyota Prius unless you bought the many $k package with the fancy headlights.

Want a reliable car that's likely to last a few 100k miles, 353 mile range, is one of the safest cars on the planet to drive, has a great charging networks, great headlights, generous interior room, and low cost per mile? Get a model 3 AWD for $48k, it's a hell of a deal, and that's assuming your state, city, and country have no incentives. Sure it's one of the "slow" Tesla's at 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, but still one of the quicker accelerating cars around.

I'd be hard pressed to name a #2. There's a nice Porsche, but it's like twice as much. The ford Mach e is somewhat similar, less range, less accel (at the same price), not as safe, and nowhere close on the charging network.

Chevy bolt is embarrassing in comparison, doesn't handle, doesn't accelerate, not as safe, nowhere close on range, not AWD, etc.
But if this change occurred then likely more businesses based in different regions would end up being able to compete (it living costs and wages stabilised more across the nation over time) and you'd actually end up with more options of places to work including startups that might have an office in a place you specifically want to live rather than having to move to a giant hub city.

It doesn't mean all tech jobs have to be 100% remote.
Yeah it's the classic damned if you do damn if you didn't scenario.

I remember reading news about an old Indian man in America who was reported to be 'snooping around' by some concerned neighbors and then since he didn't understand English and comply with the police officers ended up in a hospital paraplegic (1). People condemned the police for being too harsh and making mountain out of a molehill situation.

The problem with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25541900 is that it reads like an ad. HN users hate that. They click on things looking for interesting content, so what you want to do is post the actual interesting content.

Newsletters aren't a great fit for HN in general because it's hard to link to them. When I look at https://markjgsmith.substack.com/p/mark-smiths-newsletter-26... I see a bunch of pointers to things, but HN itself is already a bunch of pointers to things, so that's too much indirection to count as interesting. More explanations about that here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

What you want to do is post something with a lot of meat on the bones, so people can get into it right away and have something specific to discuss. Blog posts are better for that, especially if they go deeply into a topic. Short few-paragraph blog posts can sometimes do ok on HN, if they make a clear point that strikes a nerve, but mostly they're too shallow to resonate. Blog posts that go deep are more the sweet spot.

> Should your personal cost of living be factored into your wage for the same work?

Debatable, do you see cost of living and food as a personal expense? To me they’re basic human rights that every person deserves, if you hire a worker in an expensive city, then the basic cost goes up. Likewise if you hire someone in a place where the cost of living is cheaper, then that basic cost goes down.

But now the question is, what happens when you hire a worker in an expensive city, but then allow them to work remotely from a cheaper city, should that affect his/her salary?
"The risk of long term effects is actually very small - almost insignificant"

Do you have sources for those claims?
This is what happens when you go spend too much time on a topic and start believing every remote possibility to bring life to your conclusion. So many unlikely things have to happen for this to work - US $ cash completely phased out, everyone moving to digital currency, fed/cbdc setting rules such as savings cap to discourage spending, fed trying to track every possible transaction etc. I mean come on. This is the USA. People aren't even willing to be tracked if they are COVID infected - let alone widespread payment tracking in general. And savings cap? Good luck with that. He needs to talk to more people to get a diverse perspective on alternate modes in which fed can work - vs. believing his own conspiracy theories.
> The police seem to have done what they could. We don’t want to live in a country where that would be enough evidence to invade and search his property without consent.

We need accountability. We are entitled to it. We are entitled to asking law enforcement to demonstrate the actual need for the tools they are given and the latitude we allow them, not a landgrab during a moral panic. Currently, we seem to have none of that.

Search warrants are not intended to be difficult to obtain, but there must be some reasonable basis for the search. A close associate of the person in question with information regarding illicit activity on the property in question is probably sufficient cause, but IANAL. It is likely the police treated this as a frivolous complaint. There have been cases that were clearly bunk that were followed up with excessive zeal because of questionable reasons and just as many valid ones have probably been ignored.

> $2000 isn't realistic if you're counting all materials from the ground up

Kitchens certainly don't magically spring up from the ground after the spring rain. You naturally would have to count every last input cost for any kind of meaningful comparison. The restaurants certainly are when pricing their food.

> Adding all that up and doubling it brings us to $6000 in construction costs.

For, say, a 150 sq.ft. kitchen (the average sized kitchen)? Which means if we theoretically placed 10 of those rooms side by side, totalling 1,500 sq.ft., you could build what is essentially an entire house for $60,000? I realize that doesn't include all the fixtures, but it still seems quite low. Labour must be pretty cheap where you're from.

This article misses the broader goal/reason to use DSLs. That reason is metaprogramming.

DSLs are very powerful and extremely effective when they simplify how some specific task or sequence must be configured.

When you do something repeatedly in a programming language where it seems like there is a lot of copy/paste, that is exactly when a DSL should be created and applied to avoid that sort of behavior.

In this sense, good DSLs are deeply related to the low-code movement.

When enough DSLs are made, need to write all logic in a general purpose programming language will be minimalized.

The place where this can most be seen currently is in process management systems and the DSLs used to configure them. Few are familiar with these because they are very expensive enterprise tools used to rapidly setup business processes and related interfaces.
