I mean that’s how it happens, right? The refrain is always: forget that solid blue states do a miserable job with things like education, transit, and housing, which are almost completely within state jurisdiction. Look over there some redneck in South Carolina wants to keep confederate statues! Accountability of government is something we’ll get around to once we’ve purged society of all “isms” and “phobias.”

Democrats are so resistant to the idea of holding Democratic administrations accountable that the police killing of George Floyd in a city that had zero Republicans on the city council, but two socialists, in a state that hasn’t voted Republican for President in half a century, somehow became a referendum on the evils of a Republican President that has almost zero power over the operation of police departments.

I understand why party leadership operates this way. I don’t understand why rank and file voters put up with it. There is nothing that poisons the pro-government agenda more than the fact that Democrats don’t have a single place they can point to where they can say: “see, big government works great and the higher taxes you’ll pay will be worth it.” They’re reduced to pointing to places like Sweden and Denmark. Meanwhile, Republicans can point to New York City, etc., and say “see, big
government doesn’t work.” And that’s not an unfair criticism!
There's no open API which is a problem when things are E2E encrypted.

What are concrete examples of "US government to take a lead on building charging infrastructure?" The feds leasing street-side right of way and installing chargers and payment infrastructure and also somehow increasing grid capacity? Spray and pray tax/borrowed money on whatever company has the best connected lobbyists? Something in between?

More to the point: to meet a climate change goal, why continue to subsidize the overprovisioning of transportation capability in the form of largely unused, quickly depreciating equipment with low watt to work efficiency? Is doing the same thing as before really going to move the needle to the goal? If asserted true, what proof or precedent is there?
Honestly, I just used ESPHome for all of this (https://esphome.io/).

I mean, I've written code for microcontrollers before, but it's hard to beat something where all the building blocks are already done for you; leaving you only the job or assembling them in the product you want.

If you know "normal" programming (I do web dev), it's relatively easy to get an Arduino and start copy-and-pasting example code until you've got something cool. The syntax itself isn't too complex, and most of the really hard stuff already has a library built for it.

Arduino code can also be used on the ESP8266 / ESP32, which is an amazing, <$2 (shipped!) microcontroller that's Wifi-enabled.
Here is Twitter failing to protect a sex trafficked child despite multiple written requests. Twitter just signed a very big contract with AWS.

Shaquille O'Neal is the perfect example of this. He hit the genetic jackpot. Being 7' feet tall is a one in 1 million shot. Being 7'2 with that type of frame is like a 1 in a billion shot.
I think everyone is different. But, for me, to live a happy life, I have to balance my relationships, work, and exercise. I try to make systems that keep my working while at work and keep me focused on people when not at work. I think a lot about making sure I am enjoying the journey and not just focused on the destination.
Yes, the way tesla handles this is by having batteries at their charging stations to average out the current draw from the grid.

The term "open source" is used every day to refer to software that is not released under an OSI approved license. I'd bet that 99%+ of the people who use the phrase have never even been to OSI's website.

The existence of OSI's definition doesn't mean that colloquial use follows that definition.

I think to know all of that is a bit of a stretch. This same exact list could be used for a mid or a senior level.

As a junior I would expect you to be roughly aware of some of those topics. Certainly knowing AWS, SSL, JWT, firewalls, FTP, SMTP, HTTPS3 are not necessary for a junior role.

For juniors I am much more interested in seeing how eager they're to learn, what they've built and what excites them. In fact, I've hired people who didn't knew python, linux or git working as a backend developer in a python/linux/git shop and it worked pretty well.

> but I am pretty sure my chances of getting a mac in the future are zero

Why?
Anecdotally as someone in a family all of whom are thriving financially during the pandemic, here are possible reasons it could be true.

* My student loan payments are frozen, I believe the total balance of student loans that are frozen is something like 85% country wide.

* People working remotely = low transit expenses.

* No live events = low entertainment expenses.

* Raging pandemic = low travel expenses.

* Investment = stock market has been very profitable since march. I made 100% last year just on random long term investment.

Basically, if you have a job that was exceeding the minimum threshold of living expenses, any of the extraneous things you were spending money on, other than eating out maybe, have evaporated.

Obviously there is a notable segment of the population that is not doing well, can barely if at all cover day to day expenses, and unemployment has gone up, but that segment isn't necessarily a majority.

That's all just speculation though, I'm not claiming parent is correct.
The poorest X% not showing up in any statistics used for policy making is probably a longstanding problem... and it's probably hard to estimate by how much X has changed over the past year.
I am just commenting on the data posted in the blog. Apparently, 40% of surveyed founders said that their companies will be fully remote. Only 6% will have offices in Austin and 1% in Miami. In that scenario, none of the emerging hubs will be able to create a cluster.
Clickable Wireframes Hosting
Hello All, I have created few simple jpeg wireframes to portray a UI user-flow. These were created as successive slides in powerpoint. Now, I am doing customer demos using Invision for showing the "click transition". Invision does not feel like a true software UI and my potential customers have a slight negative feeling that what they are being shown is not a software.

https://arvis203334.invisionapp.com/console/share/C924FRR2A6 How can I make it look more authentic? I had heard of hosting wireframes on virtual servers, but have not been able to understand this. How to host clickable wireframe on virtual servers to make it look like software for demo purposes?

Thank you!

I've had this thought, but it's a thought experiment that I kinda don't want to go engage in. I've also been wondering if the death toll in the US is so high because, well, Americans are just really unhealthy and overweight and that increased morbidity in a way that was unique in the world. Non-compliance with stay-at-home and mask wearing obviously didn't help, but I can't shake the feeling that the structural problems with health in the US set us up for failure years (decades?) before the pandemic even started.
I saw 3 different doctors, they all just figured I was depressed. I then started reading and searching online like crazy, most helpful resource I've found so far is at http://brainhealthbook.com (also easily pirated), that author is both a naturopathic doctor and an MD.

edit to add: You said 'diagnose and fix me' ... even if they can diagnose you, they won't be able to fix you. Just a warning. Best you can do is to manage the condition.
I created a modern alternative for creating user interfaces in Javascript. Longwood can be summarized with these three principles:

1. It's just JavaScript
This view library does not invent a new syntax for templating — you can use traditional Javascript without any build tools.

2. Beginner friendly
No magic. Longwood does not introduce complicated concepts that you'll need a PhD in computer science to understand.

3. Strong Typescript support
When you're ready, jump in with Typescript and have clear and strong types there to help you.

I really don't think the author is fluent in C. They consistently put semicolons after brackets, and they have off-by-1 errors in array indexing, etc (the first search_ok looks past the end of string; the second search_ok won't see ok in the string "ok"). That's part of why I read it that way.

I understand the concern over excessive pedantry.
Oh damn, Pidgin. I LOVED that app.

15 years ago I had ONE messaging app that logged me into MSN, ICQ, QQ, Zephyr, Gtalk, Yahoo, AIM, Facebook, and Renren.

On that one messaging app I had either written or downloaded plugins for:

* End-to-end encryption (receiver needed the plugin as well)

* Automatic two-way human language translation via online translation APIs so I could have a conversation with someone who didn't share a common language with me

* Automatic two-way conversion between simplified and traditional Chinese. (I can read both, but traditional is faster for me, so I had it auto-translate all simplified to traditional for me, as well as auto-translate all of my outgoing traditional to simplified on a per-user basis for the receiver's convenience.)

* Ability to create conversation groups across networks, with my account serving as a gateway.

* Automatic rendering of in-line LaTeX math equations.

* Controlling of IOT devices, and allowing access to my dorm room for guests by having them send me an instant message with a certain secret word.

* Cloud-based logs of all of my messages.

* Online gateway that allowed me to access all my message logs from anywhere on any device and any OS with a web browser.

I feel like we've gone backwards. I now have a dozen different closed-protocol, walled-garden messaging apps, some of them even actively try to PUNISH you for trying to decompile and edit them, translation is not automatic, cloud logs only exist on Facebook messenger, E2E encryption is skeptically touted and paraded as some new thing even though I personally had real open-source E2E encryption 15 years ago on ALL my messengers, and everyone is siloed into their own apps and there is no way to send messages across networks.

Sigh. Tech in 2021 sucks. I honestly felt my messaging was way more advanced 15 years ago.
> Also, a Toyota Corolla for example only weighs 2,910 to 3,150 lbs according to google.

In terms of size, the Model 3 is closer aligned to a Camry than a Corolla. The Camry is ~3300-3600 lbs.
There are CURRENTLY very few climate related deaths. The person you're responding to is wondering if more lives would be saved in the long run, maybe the next 1000 years.
Funny that there is a mountain (Matterhorn) because that's exactly the question on a mountain, you should push as hard as possible to come back safely to your bed and not the top, and that my friends is the answer to the question, on a mountain that is 1.Survive 2.have a great adventure 3.stand on top...
> Also don't underestimate the convenience of leaving from home at any time in the day or the night and returning there vs driving to get the rental car, go through the paperworks, and again when returning it. It can easily add a couple of hours of friction.

There are some car clubs in the city I live in. You sign up in advance, give them your details/card, and use an app to book the car. They're scattered all over the city, and you book it by the hour and pay for mileage. You get a fuel card, and are asked not to leave it back empty. If you pick one up empty, fill it up, and tell the app and they'll nag the previous person about it (but I only had to do this once in the 2 years I used it). It's great!

When I signed up at first it was great, there were 5 cars within 1/2 a mile of me. 2 years later, there were still 5 cars within 1/2 a mile of me, but the number of people using the service had increased so there was no availability on a weekend.

On my current street there's ~100 cars parked on it, and at least 10 of them haven't moved in the last week (my own included). If we replaced (even) half of those cars with for-hire cars, it would be a perfectly usable system for me.

> 1. I already paid for my car, so I use it kind of for free, except gas.

If you're not using your car for work, then this doesn't apply really. Even assuming you own it outright, maintenance/checks/cleaning/washing my current car are in the region of 30-40 bucks a month.
You are moving goalposts. There may be people who misuse the term. But that doesn't mean it isn't well-defined or agreed-upon by a majority.

Indeed, and that is why I use it.

I certainly have no wish to have five different clients open, many of which not even scriptable when I can have all my contacts in one list.
Fewer articles shown is probably correct. But more clickbaity sounds more likely to me.
"Source" is no poor people use HN.

Edit: this was not meant to disparage the poor. Quite the opposite. HN tends to have a blinkered worldview and part of that results from the filtered audience. Sorry, we just don't have people showing up here who got laid from serving bar, or single mothers with four kids, etc. Poor single mothers don't save money by skipping trips to Greece or not going out for Wagyu A5 twice a month...
> ...but I believe most regulations against big tech only establish their domination. These companies can likely invest more resources in legal analysis than the goverment, so they will use most of it to their advantage.

If that were true, or true to the degree suggested here, I don't think these companies would fight regulation as hard as they do. Rather, they'd embrace them and encourage more.

IMHO, this kind of thinking is an interesting bit of free market propaganda, to the effect of convincing people that they're helpless in the face of domination by some corporation or other, and their only option is to wait patiently for some market-driven "creative destruction" to occur in the (perhaps far) future.

> But then I realized how much I struggled to get my Android UI the way I wanted, until I installed Nova Launcher that gave me Linux-levels of tweaking. The average user does not do this.

No. Stop, please stop with the paternalism. I cringe every time someone talks about "the user" in third person, like they were laboratory specimens. We all are mostly average users. There is not really any difference between your father and you. My mother wants to play with things like everyone else. But we, the developers, don't allow them, and we put them into walled gardens without ever giving them a choice. Because we are smarter and we known better, and we are doing it for their own good. Apparently. And all of this reeks of paternalism and elitism.

The silver lining will be when all those developers receive the same treatment in 30 years. Sadly, it will be too late by then.
Yeah, back in university I've really only learned the version that is presented in part 3. I mean I feel like the prefix table is just a more succinct representation of the DFA but I do find it interesting to see one way that that approach could've been arrived at.

Districts themselves are the problem. They can be more "fair" than they are currently, but they can't overcome the fact that common interests and voting alignment are not exclusively geographic.

Removing districts, or enlarging them so the borders barely matter, and implementing ranked choice voting and proportional representation is a far, far better solution.

A Review of “So You Want Your Child to Be a Genius?”
Because in nature there is no push, just survive or die.
I think the answer for everyone is different. Never pushing yourself enough that you don't know how you respond to that type of stress is clearly too conservative if you're hoping to accomplish things that require hard work and dedication. Once you know how you respond it's important that you account for that. If your stress response is extreme, it's important that you dial things back. If your stress response is quite manageable then you can probably push yourself harder than others. There is a lot of individual variation in how people respond to stress so the right answer is different for everyone. For instance, if you respond to stress by becoming paranoid you may want to dial things back dramatically as you might be at risk of developing mental illness from prolonged stress. Similarly, if you respond to stress by having illnesses become hard to shake you might want to dial things back or at least design your environment where you can turn off the stress when you get sick and focus on getting better. Being self-aware is an important skill and I think it's probably the most relevant variable in stress management.
What is, or is not, an Assault Rifle is clearly defined, whereas a lot of the confusion comes from the use of the similar term Assault Weapon which is less well defined/defined by cosmetic characteristics.

Perhaps using something like Military Rifle would allow you to refer to such without being technically wrong?
That's not a fair representation in my opinion. Appeal to nature is saying cyanide is healthy because it's natural.

But when it's our own evolutionary biology, I think appeal to nature makes perfect sense. It's what we were born to do, literally. Antidepressants and stimulant drugs allow us to bypass this evolution, but at some cost.
The relative value of future deaths is interesting, right? To be honest you have to discount them a little because if you kill a guy today before he has kids, you've killed his kids too.
Software isn't particularly important (at least the kind that Tesla's most visibly writing). The key is getting to low cost motor control electronics and batteries (along with accompanying electronics and safety systems). The battery especially is the current barrier to an affordable EV with the range of a typical IC car.
for (unsigned i=0; i<len; i++)
{
if (s[i]=='o' && s[i+1]=='k')
return i; // found
};

The last iteration of this loop, it accesses s[len-1] and s[len]. If the string is null terminated, that's OK. If it's really just a length qualified string, that's not OK.

The later implementations treat len differently.

EDIT: It's worse than I said. The later version won't detect "ok" at the end of the string, because they are off by one in the OPPOSITE direction.
Official Messages app/process. And we do connect to the SQLite for reading stuff.
They absolutely do. The animals that don't push themselves are the ones that get eaten or end up without a mate and so fail their biological imperative.
Neither is there for iMessage or WhatsApp.

Most WhatsApp clients rely on scraping the websocket channel used by the official web client, but that requires your phone to be online to send and receive new messages.

I'm assuming iMessage scraping happens on macOS, requiring your mac to be online as well.

I do not know whether it accounts for a negative savings rate, but the graph does show that people with disposable income were saving more this past year during the pandemic, which means they were spending less on consumer goods. There were probably two driving factors behind this: fear of economic instability due to the pandemic, and a lack of availability of paid activities due to the same. Presumably, consumer spending will rise again, as will travel and hence fossil fuel consumption per the original post.
