>My fear is that ultimately the market values news too little.

This is a fate that could befall music/movies as well. News media is too "woke" for its own good (for lack of a more accurate, more complex, longer explanation), and people are abandoning it in droves.

The type of media that will survive is the kind you see in India that's overly nationalistic. It's upsetting, but that's clearly what the market wants and will pay for.

That's mostly because computers got cheap.

The diminishing ownership of ones's computer only makes your data more linked into your device and the device's manufacturer. We are lucky in that desktops are still free enough that this isn't a problem, but there is severe loss of data when one loses mobile devices, for example.

That's not the argument. The argument is they're evil because they're doing pretty questionable things that have massive possibility of abuse. And that they intentionally used a name that seems to describe the exact kind of moral problem with their technology is just, like, lazy writing.
Real estate has a lot of room to be more efficient for sure. I am curious to know if there is any way to sell my shares after investing? Also, how do they securitize these assets? Seems like such a new model. Super interesting, though. Curious to try them out.

Instacart is dropping these positions because they are trying to trim down and look like a good buy.

Instacart is Homegrocer 2.0; and by that I mean an abysmally managed top-only company that only takes and does no re-investment. From what I can see their business model is, minimal investment, maximum unsustainable sort-term profit, and sell or go bankrupt while floating upon pool-in-yacht.

Their "customer care" staff are assigned multiple shoppers and customers to deal with simultaneously, and they are out of country NOT trained in English or US culture, as such they are clearly unable to communicate effectively; queue lines in the thousands.

I spoke with one once who told me they were NOT ALLOWED to communicate the fact they were dealing with multiple customers, with people just constantly spamming them because they could not keep up; a system which will obviously bottle neck at any load increase. Oh, and, according to her the entire system is "managed" by "If" statement masquerading as an "AI HR" software.

Once the vaccine comes out in full, Instacart will most likely be no-more or sold off.
Which is approximately their parent company's yearly operating income. And then they sold 33% of Jio for $21B. (e.g. Google owns 7.7% of Jio for $4.7B).

I'd say it was a really good investment for them.
“I have asked why he did not just write T t; and be done with it. He said that he is used to the T *t = new T(); syntax. Then I pointed out that he has a memory leak. He replied that the runtime will take care of that. Too bad there isn't a runtime in C++ ...”

Yikes! I don’t know if I’d call this a “not using RAII” anti-pattern, it’s just sheer ignorance / incompetence of how the language works.
I noticed that instead of responding to my examples of actual leftist governments, with a series of your own examples of major leftist governments that are "not super evil", or are more fair examples, you instead responded with general ideals.

Yeah, no. If someone is going to call AOC or Bernie Sanders as "centrists", then I am going to need you to point to an actual, real life example of a true "leftist" government to understand wtf you are talking about.

Examples are needed so you can't make a bunch of stuff up, and wash you hands with the actual, real life examples of how your "ideals" turned out in real life.

> unwilling to actually engage with what leftism means

Hey, I did try to give examples of actual leftist governments, so we can evaluate how those real life, not made up in your head, examples actually turned out.

When talking about this stuff, the only actual thing that I will except is real life examples of your ideal government. Because, if I don't do that, then leftists will just make a bunch of stuff up, that is not grounded in reality.

Unfortunately the gap in what a leftist will claim that they want, and how they claim things will turn out is miles and miles away different from how actual leftist governments attempt to implement their ideals.
Fair enough. But that revenue would still be missing if everybody would switch to EV and it will have to be made up by taxing electricity used for charging car batteries.

Also, a Toyota Corolla for example only weighs 2,910 to 3,150 lbs according to google.

Is there a way of overprovisioning the physical car endpoints compared to the resources available to the group?

Within a parking garage is there a method of metering/constraining individual charging nodes so that the overall consumption does not exceed the amps available to the garage?

Say for example, all my neighborhood household electric meters have some zigbee coms that allow the electric co to snoop on individual usage closer to realtime. Do EVs not have a method for the charger to understand the EV's % of full charge?
Would this be a good stepping stone for someone wanting to learn more about microcontroller type stuff?

You pay your ISP for their transit and peering blend. The same as I pay my Web host for access to their transit blend.

This is a seprate issue from what most people see as net neutrality. If true net neutrality was enforced, then there would be no caching boxes for Google,Facebook or Netflix and they would have to rely on public peering with the congestion that comes with.

Perhaps partly, but the UI was also useful compared to WMP. WMP was slow, bulky, and took up lots of screen real estate. WinAmp, while it was themed, was slim, but also packed far more control into a tinier space than WMP.

(The blue/grey theme that came later was far less performant; I mean the original dark green/black theme.)

And WinAmp would open & play literally any format under the sun. WMP was limited to something like MP3 and WMA. (And maybe WAV.)

FB/Google don't always or even usually do CD, either (unless you're talking about to some kind of staging or QA environment). There are always tradeoffs and different business requirements that need to be satisfied, and different approaches will make sense to address them.
Possibly, yeh.

Tbh, there's a part of me that really doesn't want to try and productize it. I really love the idea of building an icon service that pulls in as many developers/designers as possible. OS has been a huge part of my career, and being able to give back can feel pretty fulfilling on those down-days.

So prevalent in Texas that a now-popular building architype in North American real estate is known as the 'Texas Donut', whereby a midrise apartment building 'wraps' around a parking structure in the middle of the plot.
>The same goes with the RISC-V as well - the law could be written to allow only certain countries to use it freely.

Luckily, the people behind RISC-V were smart enough to protect it as well as they could against politicians using this open technology as a political tool. Not only it uses an open license, but also IP is owned by entity registered in Switzerland, so people and organizations all around the globe can collaborate and use results without being afraid to fall under yet another sanctions, which more often than not are simply a salvo in an ongoing economic warfare.
Gas stations in cities are being converted to apartment/condo complexes, not EV charging stations. The economics just don't allow wasting prime real estate on something like a EV charging station.

How far is your commute? $200/mo for any decently efficient car is quite a bit. We use around $150/mo for a 2012 CR-V and my spouse has a 45 mile commute round trip in city traffic. This is Texas, so I guess I should mention gas is 30% cheaper than California. I suppose that could make up the difference...
in general you just try to find an open space near where you live. some neighborhoods have "permit parking" where residents are entitled to a permit that allows them to park in the general area where they live. if you don't have a permit, these spaces are paid parking and/or limited time parking (eg, 2 hour max).
>Why does that validate the idea that people need a better quality camera?

I feel it validates the problem/needgap because this is the 4th time in <30 days I'm seeing someone complain about the lack of good quality webcam (3 on HN, 1 on needgap) plus DSLR makers (e.g.cannon) rushing to enable webcam support for their cameras using firmware/software and releasing it while still in alpha.

Market share with stagnated technology has never stopped a new product with better technology disrupting the market before, otherwise we still probably would have been using Nokia brick phones.

2016 was the last time I was on a team I consider not to be doing CD, in the sense that you hit merge and it goes to prod without manual intervention if automated tests pass.

However, I'm sure some people would argue that some of these teams are not CD enough due to items like the following:

- One team had very long (4+ hour) test suites. End result, devs hit merge in the morning to see their changes that day, and didn't if a test failed (and of course there were flaky tests). Eventually there was a project to pare down unneeded tests and address flakiness, but by the time I left it was still a 2 hour (though more reliable) time from merge to deploy. No human intervention needed to.

- Release windows. The release pipeline on one team only ran 9-5 monday to thursday. If you merged after 5 it kicked off the following morning. If you merged friday, it kicked off monday morning. I'd accept a claim that the team was only doing CD 4 days of the week, but not doing CD at all is overstating it.

- Code reviews as requirements of merge. I still think this doesn't disqualify it, because the developer still has the option of when to hit merge after review and go to production without anyone else's intervention. On 2/3 teams the CI pipeline ran on branches also was sufficiently reliable that if your branch build passed, you were pretty sure the release build also would.

But you don’t need fast charging on public streets, you charge while parked.

I did not intend to imply anything in regard to your positions, my intention was only to argue my interpretation of, and issues with, the current system and discuss why I think alternatives are better. Apologies if any of my posts came off as a personal attack.

I am in full agreement that proportionate representation (e.g. Maine and Nebraska) is a step in the right direction, but my personal feeling is that the presidential election should be the one place that every citizen's voice and vote should be equal. I can't imagine another situation where that should/could be the case and I think it's important to have that one place where every voice in the country can be equally involved and every vote equally weighted.

The short version of why I don't think any vote-per-district approach makes sense for the presidential election is that it will always reduce the election down to the "swing" districts that actually decide the outcome and get the most attention from the candidates. It can come down to very few votes, and a candidate pandering to the more extreme fractions can flip those sometimes-tiny margins.

I'm left-of-center in a very Blue state, but it bothers me that more conservative voices in my state have no impact on federal elections. They can't swing the state for the presidential election or congressional representatives, so they are provided little voice on the national stage. I think giving more influence to right-leaning voices from left-leaning areas, and visa-versa, could help bring the whole nation much more into balance and away from extremism.

You can try to minimize the issues I'm describing, but I think they're inherent to any vote-per-district approach such as the Electoral College. So I am seeing the two options as vote-per-district, and popular vote. Are there other solutions you're considering that I'm not seeing here?
> they haven't gotten any of that value.

Agreed... and I think it's even more the case in that part of the value of that car is the price tag itself and the exclusivity it brings to your purchase. The used car doesn't have that (and it does have the associated downsides of the expensive and complex car).
I would suggest they never knew how to use computers. Computers are general purpose devices, which is lost on the general population who only ever need to check emails and post on social media. Smart phones fit this perfectly.

Let's leave the general computing devices for people who actually need that power, just like the early days.

I mean, you fundamentally "pay" with your private data already in the sense that those services use your "payment" in order to offer you the service in the first place.

You could force businesses to put a number on it. But in general websites don't just sit on the money they make from ads - they spend it on hosting costs and whatever other business expenses. Note that I'm not arguing whether some of them are still making a fortune with it - but requiring that users are paid for using a service that incurs costs for the other party is... backwards?
This article is focusing on user customization in the wrong places. OS window chrome is mostly invisible to most users nowadays. The places where customization happens is within apps. Custom emojis, sticker packs, browser themes, slack themes, whatever else.

IMO "theming" and customizing visual appearance is alive and well. But it's moved to higher layers.

Arbitrary customization of color schemes may be useful as an accessibility feature for certain conditions.

However nobody has explained how they offer an accessibility benefit for any actual condition that isn’t covered by the existing accessibility features.

It would be good if someone could actually point to an example of this. Otherwise it really is just speculation.

General configurability of themes is definitely not a substitute for bespoke accessibility features, even though it might be a workaround in some cases.

>their role is at least in part to hold power to account

And they suck horribly at doing that. All most news sites ever do is constantly pander to uber-elite "woke" moral sensibilities and pearl-clutching. That's why people don't view them as important and don't want to pay for them.
Doesn't it go both ways though? If there's a financial cost for Google to show links to articles, wouldn't it then be in Google's best interest to decrease the quantity of shallow articles that all more or less say the same thing with ever clickbaitier titles, in favor of showing fewer authoritative/comprehensive sources?
Given property tax rates, charging times have to drop pretty drastically, and they'll need a massive increase in power supply to handle the 15-20 cars supercharging simultaneously.

Gas stations currently make very little to almost nothing actually selling gas (something like 5-25 cents a gallon last I had heard). Almost all of their income is from also acting as a convenience store for snacks and drinks. They need people in and out as quick as possible, not loitering around for half an hour.

Basically, if charging time dropped to the 5 minute range, sure. I would hate to have to use one, though, given how busy gas stations already are during the day around here.

While I enjoy HHGTTG, I've long been of the opinion that the Dirk Gently books are Adams' best works. HHGTTG originated as a radio show, and while they're fun, they meander, almost a loosely connected series of vignettes rather than novels.

> Learning to live with all the labels from a chronic condition is one of the hardest parts.

If this isn't the truest thing. It's very difficult when you have doctors--who society tells you to deeply respect--calling you a lazy liar.

I don't think I would have been diagnosed if I didn't have a supportive family who insisted it wasn't "all in my head" and that I needed to keep searching for answers. It's very easy to start believing what the doctors say, no matter how loudly your body is screaming otherwise.

And then there's the opinions of general people... It's surprising how ignorant highly-educated engineers can be about medical issues. Again, I credit my family and friends for having kept my sanity all these years.
Its not too terribly expensive to have a decent mobile production setup that also fits in a camera bag, nowadays. I've always felt like, if you can afford a $2000 laptop, you can afford a $500 camera, a $50 ring ling, and a $100 microphone.

Even the best phones and laptops won't match a DSLR, so I don't try to.

First, ochem is good and there are aspects of cas proteins that you need ochem to understand, but you'll probably want to take biochemistry as well since it deals directly with proteins and nucleic acids (though I assume ochem is a pre-req wherever you are anyway).

I really need to sit down and be thorough about this, but off the top of my head, here are some things I frequently see misunderstood:

1) not all diseases can be cured by changing the genome, even in principle

2) delivery is an unsolved problem! we can't get CRISPR into every cell, or necessarily any arbitrary tissue. This is probably the main roadblock right now for CRISPR therapeutics. For some genetic diseases this is fine. For example, there are some conditions where fixing only 20% of cells is enough to get a clinically-meaningful improvement, but for others this won't work. There are ex vivo techniques, where you remove some cells, modify them in vitro, and transplant them back, but that can't be done with all (most?) cell types.

3) Most traits aren't controlled by a single gene, and those interactions can get very complicated.

4) We don't know what every gene does

5) Even when a gene has been thoroughly characterized, we don't necessarily know what effect a particular modification will have

6) Biology is complicated af. Every change could potentially have unanticipated side effects.

7) Even if God descended from the clouds and granted us the ability to modify any genome in any and all cells of our choosing without any negative side effects, we wouldn't be able to cure every disease even when there's clearly a genetic component. Aging comes up on HN a lot but it's probably the least tractable disease I can think of.

I could go on, but I'm going to stop here and save it for the blog. To be sure, the technology is being developed rapidly, but there are some problems where it's just a matter of iterative engineering, and others where it's going to take a century of dedicated effort.
