Oh sweet baby Jesus they're doing digital transformation. Look for a billion in losses over the next few years from poorly executing a DevOps transition.

Also there's this:

Opening up the App Store seems like it would make this problem completely intractable forever, rather than just bad as it is now.

At least Apple can be pressured to get better on this.

Once you have multiple app stores, the game is over forever in terms of protecting apps from duplication.
Tech companies have been using this kind of rhetoric since the early 2000s. Back then, people were sympathetic to helping keep websites online, especially blogs and such owned by individuals. The line has lost its charm when it's turned into an inescapable global surveillance apparatus.

Congrats Michael! Great to see the success with TinyPilot, glad it's working well for you.

Just some questions/thoughts about your revenue/expenses breakdown: sales is sales of course, but what does materials mean? Is it the cost-of-materials-for-what-you-sold, or cost-of-everything-you-bought (including both sold items and inventory you're still holding?)

The reason is that it's usually more common to only count the former (cost of materials for what you sold) when tracking profit/loss. Materials you used for inventory that are not yet sold are counted as assets on your balance sheet, since the expectation is that you'll be able to turn that into cash at some point.

The other practical reason (besides the potential benefit of seeing "profit" in your revenue/expenses breakdown) is that you can better see:

1. If you need to raise prices (and I'm sure patio11 would say "yes")

2. How to handle your inventory, especially if there is a shelf-life. Eg: doing a sale to clear things quickly, or when you need to invest in more materials to build more inventory. You'll start tracking "turn", how quickly you sell out an existing batch, and can better plan for purchasing more to keep a healthy level that is in that Goldilocks-zone of enough-to-fulfill-orders-quickly, but less than holding too much that ties up cash.

Congrats again and looking forward to the next update.
What would happen if legislation were passed to ban all tracking, across the board? Perhaps also inclusive of limits on targeted advertising also (to reduce the incentive to gather personal data).

It seems this kind of universal disarmament (so to speak) still leaves FB in the same dominant position from an advertising perspective. It has the same huge audience, and it’s advertising product is the same as everyone else. If so why wouldn’t FB be actively lobbying for this right now?

(I’m just putting aside questions of monopoly, etc. Purely from an FB self interest stand point.)
Bad incentive structures prevent this ... root cause is in many scaled up systems of people, optics (appearances and visibility) are what you are judged by, as there is zero accountability or metrics in place other than how you make the decision makers feel about you, so focusing and delivering results is actually not what is rewarded! Basically all human systems at scale have this problem, consider politics. And you don't even get a seat at the table if you opt-out of the game. You either have to play or you can create your own bubble universe, like a startup, and do everything yourself, unless of course you want investors ...
Apple users will defend its behavior to the bitter. No matter what you post about Apple, it will either be excused or praised.

Does anybody know of a firefox addon or monkeyscript to filter articles on Hackernews? At this point I just want to hide any article with "M1" or "Apple" in it.
The included query for finding which indexes in your database could benefit from a partial index is amazing. Thanks for putting the extra effort into this post.
Can’t FB incentivize this a bit? I understand that they can’t gate the app with ad tracking approval, but what if they promised to provide you with discounts on the merchants this tracking promotes or something like that?
Right, I mentioned cross-reactivity in another comment. A term to google for if you’re interested.
Older cars can sometimes accept upgraded radios with carplay/android auto.

My '07 got a Sony head unit that does both, along with a nice 6.95" capacitive touch display for ~$400. It was worth every penny when I was commuting. You're missing convenience: Siri is nice, maps on the screen are nice, sharing the screen with passengers, quickly choosing a song without risking a cellphone use ticket (at a stop).
> Contracting COVID-19 may lead to long term health issues.

It’s certainly possible but to put that in perspective, here’s a study showing 98% of people (self-reporting) were symptom free after 12 weeks.

Is that any worse than other respiratory viruses?

It was rather a project by then Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to make sure he had a nice retirement fund and was indeed hired by Russian Gazprom right after he left office. Now the question is whether Germany honors these arrangements or not.
let (model', cmd') = state.update msg

In order to write that you have to pin a reference to the state. But state is something that has to flow.
Sure you can pin it to a ref, make it mutable and change the state but then nothing prevents you to change the state
arbitrarily e.g. from a command. I believe yes the answer is because we want to stay on the FP realm. FP imposes some restrictions to keep our sanity. So not having a reference
to the state and making it immutable is one of those restrictions.
Tesla owns the entire car and bears full responsibility for virtually everything in it, including the software that steers clear of reliance upon Google and Apple technologies.

My opinion: The split responsibility of Google and Ford on the entertainment system will inevitably result in the same early obselesence of the software as compared to the car hardware. We have seen this in much Android phone hardware (a year or two of updates, usually not including a major version), and I see it in my Android TVs (Sony). Even Apple, which IMO has a track record of longer support, has done it with Apple TV recently, and Sonos threatened it with perfectly fine working old hardware until outrage forced them to change plans.

All in all, I prefer less integrated things with clear responsibilities that work together under well established protocols. I want a dumb TV with good HDMI and other specs, to which I can connect whatever display device I want (or many). I want my car to be perpetually supported (unlikely beyond Tesla) or a simple display (Android Auto or Car Play or whatever) so I can upgrade the thing doing the display whenever I choose.

Of course, if Ford committed to having a computer module that could be upgraded occasionally for the price of a mid-range phone, and commit to supporting it for 25+ years, that would be okay too. My Acura is in its 12th year and because it is so "dumb" I haven't felt any urge to upgrade it. My (2020) Tesla gets updates probably monthly via WiFi. It changes too much IMO; I want stability from my cars and devices, but honestly the changes are almost all improvements in my (software engineer) opinion.
Do pods support queries or just HTTP GET/POST/PUT/DELETE?

Queries are important for performance. They avoid transferring all data over the network from the pod to the application.

Although it's possible to define an open index format (metadata built from the actual data), it's probably still less efficient to access and also tricky to update without race conditions, data corruption, etc.
Here is my secret to success. Projects are only successful when somebody knows how everything works together.

The person you feel comfortable approaching with a problem knows about problems nobody else knows about. If the problem turns out to be severe, they have more time to come up with a reasonable fix. They look smarter in the emergency meeting. If the problem is malingering, like architecture problems, they're constantly inoculated with details about broad parts of the system they might not otherwise be looking at.

If you are being helpful, your goal should be to get promoted into a mentoring or a leadership position. That gets you something concrete to put on your resume for the next place. Nobody knows how big your story points are so feature count tells them nothing at all.

You know only the infortainment system will be handled by Google Auto?
Title is misleading, they're not charging you to keep your address. They're charging you for going over the storage limit, and you can still keep your address. You're just not allowed to send any emails until you clear the space or buy more storage.

Phones are not automobile rated. For example, while driving in the summer, I've had issues with my phone overheating and shutting down. Infotainment systems are rated to not do that.
> It puzzles me how people still think Robinhood can remain competitive knowing they sell user's order flow to hedge funds

Many brokers do this. They get better execution services from hedge funds / electronic traders than they could possibly build themselves. Given rules like NBBO for equities, this can really matter. It saves them money in engineering a hard problem AND makes them money from the other side.
You mean ancient Greek, right?

Good post thanks for sharing. It's true, the market grows more often than it shrinks and I could see how that skews the distribution in favor of lump sum.
Every now and then this gets shared again and every time I am struck by what a terrible job the front page does of explaining what Solid is and why anyone would want to use it. Like, okay, yeah, "control my own data" is a nice pitch in this day and age I guess, but... what can I do with it? "Any kind of data can be stored in a Solid pod, including normal files like you might store in Google Drive or Dropbox" - that sounds kinda useful, where's the link to SolidFile? Is there even a SolidFile app or is that just a thing someone could make with this protocol?

Hell, where's the front page link to check out the list of any apps using Solid? It's like two or three random clicks to find this page (https://solidproject.org/apps) if you are curious, and it's super uninspiring - why does one of the apps in the "Showcase" section at the top not even have a description?

Solid always just feels like a solution looking for a problem.
I work on critical services, similar to this. While nobody likes the overall business impact of events like this, I love being in the trenches when things like this happen. I enjoy the pressure of having to use anything I can to mitigate as quickly as possible.

I used to work in professional kitchens before software, and it feels a lot like the pressure of a really busy night as a line cook. Some people love it.
So the alternative is a free for all?
Thanks for the encouragement!

I would say that the industry is already trending towards more of a third-party reseller model with companies like Arlula, UP42, Astraea, and numerous others. While we do see the benefits of being able to offer multiple sources of satellite data (virtual constellations combining high-res, low-res, SAR, hyperspectral, etc.) we want to limit our attention to doing one thing extremely well: providing high-res visible imagery.

To your point of developing our own tech-stack for "table stakes" - we certainly hope so. Planet has done a lot of fantastic work here as far as developing robust imagery pipelines but stopped short of removing salespeople from the process. We're hoping to take their approach a step further and remove that manual (human) component from both the sales process and delivery pipelines.

Hope that helps!
It really seems like you could squeeze IP and thus (D)TLS in there instead, definitely something to eye up if ever you do have to do this again.

For TLS you can use pre-shared key mode so there's no extra gubbins like certificates, but you get all the same guarantees about whether what you're doing is actually safe as the big guys.
How would querying the data work? Will a pod provide querying capabilities as well? Example use case would be finding all pictures around a certain location. It "seems" unavoidable that certain data still has to be at a service
provider since they enrich the original data. How would that work?
So that the ads are more personalized. I know this sounds weird, but if I'm going to get ads anyway, I'd like them to potentially be products I'm going to maybe have a use for and might make my life easier.

I get the privacy implications, but asking "why would anyone agree to this" is kind of narrow-minded.
Such a great movie!

I keep wondering what would happen if Disney were to do a live action remake. I don't think it can be improved upon, though.

Shame about Sting, though; really feels like he got the short end of the stick.
I’m not on Facebook so I can’t speak to what you personally see. However, I think the “support small business” angle is going to be somewhat compelling. I have, for example, two friends who are starting a niche business, offering a good and ethical service, and reaching people in that niche through Facebook and Instagram ads. The customers they find love what they’re doing and happily paying. If I had Facebook, I could see doing my small part to help them find a few more of those types of good businesses succeed.

I also kind of despise Facebook, hence no account, so I don’t mind if this permission screen fails. :)
I might. One of the target groups for one of my web sites is people who are browsing on a low-end phone in basements and underground parking garages with poor cellular connectivity. (It's very geographically specific, but the users still number in the tens of thousands.)

"this value also allows the browser to determine whether the custom font is even used at all, using the user’s connection speed as a determining factor where slower connections are less likely to receive the custom font."

Wells Fargo literally opened accounts for people without their consent, pushing balances below critical thresholds and causing their customers to lose money they had no right to lose to fees. BoA foreclosed on homes they never should have foreclosed on.

These weren't one-off incidents (Robinhood has not, yet, established a trend), these were systemic issues with these banks. And people still go to them. They're getting new accounts daily, not subsisting off of legacy accounts.
not quite the same as whatsapp, you're isolated. you dont need your friends to move, it's something you can do on your own.

"reports" that i'd read said that fidelity were getting something like 600% increase in signups (who knows if thats because of this movement or because people hate RH).
Disclaimer: I work for Google, not on AA, all opinions exclusively my own, etc.

Yes, you are. I had nothing more advanced than Bluetooth, drove a rental car with Android Auto support for a week, and immediately went out and replaced the head unit in both of my vehicles with one that supported AA and Carplay.

The most obvious benefit is navigation. You get the full power of Google/Apple maps in real time, and you never have to pay your car OEM for updates.

Navigation is also integrated with everything else. It knows that I have an appointment on my calendar in half an hour and suggests that as a destination without me having to retype it. It knows that in the mornings my most likely destination is "work" and my most likely evening destination is "home". It knows what brewery I like to go to on Saturday afternoons and suggests that too.

Voice control is another huge one. I don't have as much experience with Carplay, but with AA I can use Google Assistant for nearly everything and keep my eyes on the road.

It makes the connections trivial. Most modern systems should support wireless Android Auto - when I get in the car it connects over WiFi automatically without me doing anything. Even on older vehicles I plug in one USB cable and am good to go. Compare this to my bag of hardware I bring on trips where I'll have a rental car - you need to find a mount that works (sometimes a.dashboard suction cup, sometimes a vent clip), get the phone in a good angle where you can see it and it can get a good GPS signal, go into the car and pair it to Bluetooth, attach the charging cable and make sure it's not getting caught on anything, and so on.

For calls and texts, it just works. I've fought with Ford Sync and other proprietary systems just trying to get it to recognize names. The stock unit in my Subaru was so bad that it couldn't keep "Firstname Last name" and "Othername Last name" as two separate identities because they sounded alike, so I had to map half my family to Harry Potter characters. With Google/Apple, no such problem - just say "Call Firstname Last name" and it works every time.

The system integrates with whatever background noise you want - music, podcasts, and so on. It makes everything automatic and painless.

Android Auto gave new life to my old cars
How do you safely use that phone mount to switch from Spotify to a PocketCasts podcast while driving on the highway?

Because on my Mazda I can do all that with the physical builtin car controls. Or I can just tap the voice control button and say it.

Also the navigation on a 7" dashboard mounted screen is significantly more glanceable than squinting at a small phone screen.

It's all a great benefit for the 8+ hour highway drives I need to regularly do.
I was talking about this movie the other day, and I hypothesized that it was so successful (most people I know have fond memories of it) because it struck a cord with those of us who came of age with Disney movies. In other words, this movie felt like it was addressing a teenager generation that was OK with watching a cartoons movie.

I presume that, if this is correct, the article hints that this happened by accident.
"- The CPU in the node isn't important. The binary format for IBM mainframes is a virtual machine language and has to be just in time compiled on the node where it will run if a binary wasn't already cached from earlier transactions."

Maybe I am nitpicking, but this sounds more like the System/38 and AS/400 rather than the mainframe. Is the author referring to some particular technology which runs on top of the mainframe?
Using a domain name would have been enough, e.g.

secret-token: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

vs

secret-token:sendgrid.com/wQsmLe_tnOiByt8JUO4Kro.S_kyH0U2yBC54LHXoUoI4ppe3T5SFsiNmcWiu4xaVt0

Then you could even standardize that scanners should use sendgrid.com/.well-known/revoke-token to notify of secret tokens found in the wild.
I’d love to see an opportunity cost side note in here. I.e. how much is the author not making by being solo instead of still working at Google. That, of course, is the reality for the large majority of solo developers: if you include opportunity cost you’re probably losing massive amounts of money and need to be sure the trade off is worth it to you personally.
That's very kind of you to remember :)
Companies aren't, but this is a relatively small community, especially in some niche languages. That conversation with a coworker might lead to a job years down the line. As a manager, I may not always be a manager. The next job, I may be a manager or engineer and knowing someone on another team that might be the right person for the job - and that conversation might start at a happy hour.
Fidelity opened an account, took my money and I was able to trade this morning w/o restriction.

Robinhood,on the other hand is still tumbling thumbs on their ACH transfer I did last monday. No margin was accessed.

Going to close the RH account, I see no value in it. I do most of my trading on another platform, but felt like playing with fun money to see how it'd be.

Not fun at all.
Afaik, the images are signed by Volvo and pushed by Volvo.

> Paying for a product in advance

From the other end, someone is accepting payment in advance i.e. selling a product that doesn't exist.

If you intend to purchase that product (or constituents of it) from third parties, then that becomes selling a product that you don't own (the third parties you intend to buy it from currently own it).

Now you can say it doesn't yet exist, or isn't yet bought, in order to fulfill the order - but the argument for selling stocks you don't own, is that you don't yet own them. I see no reason to say a genuine intent exist when fulfilling a purchase order, but not when returning a stock; kick-starter provides enough evidence against that..

Please stick to the arguments at hand and don't attack the person/character.

Sure, you could rely on account age and post history to determine if you "believe" what somebody says.

The other option would be to actually read the sources/source code and come up with an informed opinion about falsifiable statements yourself. Although this might be more exhausting and has a risk of changing your opinion it might be the more rewarding one long term.

And since it has been some time since you created your account, I'd like to recommend to brush up on the HN guidelines. I'm out.
