They don't charge all that quickly and I don't think customers want people plugging in battery chargers at their homes, at least I wouldn't. All it takes is one bootleg charger from amazon, or one bootleg battery from amazon (of which there are plenty of examples) and boom nasty battery fire. I would place money on that being a magnitude more likely than a spontaneous fire from combustables in the back of a truck.

EDIT: Let's downvote instead of actually having a proper response. I can't wait until the bubble some of you live in pops and all of this nonsense goes away.

Nice!!! I really hope Tokyo is next in line. And all the other cities in the world.

After all, the mains are never really far away in urban or suburban context, so ICE-powered tooling is meaningless.
Next step: ban the electric leaf blowers, too. Get a rake. Or, just stop being a lawn fetishist—also a good option.

The electric ones are pretty good (I have the Ego one), but it's the battery life that "blows".

Since I also have the Ego mower & weedwhacker, I have 3 batteries to swap through, but it is a pain during fall cleanup.

Absolutely no good for commercial or big jobs though.
Ethical AI seems to be a work in progress.

I recently purchased something from the official UK Nintendo Store [1]. I did not opt-in, and was not asked to opt-in, to marketing emails.

Several days after purchase I received a marketing email with an Unsubscribe link.

I submitted a GDPR enquiry and after a few weeks I get:

Having investigated this matter fully, we can see that you were opted in as a result of a small technical difficulty which we are now fixing. We have taken action to set your marketing permissions to "no" as requested.

I think we're so far past the GDPR "start date" that there's an apathy to it from companies and they're pushing the limits again. How Nintendo can have such a formalised GDPR enquiry process but such sloppy controls is beyond me. I will formally complain to ICO (UK data regulator) but I doubt it'll effect much.

Do games ever have the same name?
I know you’re being downvoted for the deep state comment, but for the most part you are correct: Federal Prosecutors routinely target high profile individuals and those that receive negative press.
This is the feline equivalent of the metaphor about the baby and the bathwater.
I think this has been banned in Palo Alto for years, but is never enforced and there are a lot of them running all of the time.

The suburbs are surprisingly loud because of this, louder than the cities I've lived in.
Integrating with the fridge itself I think is a losing game. But I think a personal inventory system would find a market. Just have one of those grocery store guns tied to an app that inventories your fridge and pantry, estimates expiration times, and has a little switch to switch between adding to inventory and adding to list. I think the killer feature would be speed though. It has to work in milliseconds and be completely seamless for it to be worth the effort.
"Give up all of these cool features because it's 'open'" isn't a winning argument with any consumer.

WYSIWIG rich-text documents are table stakes. Users have had them for 30 years, love them, and are never giving them up. Their layout (and thus their schema) are also incredibly complex by necessity.

Making the lives of poor people miserable in the name of virtue points is one of the bedrock principles of left-wing governments around the world. For example, European cities banning diesel vehicles.
This reminds me of an early ML study about detecting skin cancer from pictures with a high accuracy rate.

The problem was, that with the ML, they ended up building a ruler classifier, because most of the pictures with skin cancer happened to also have a ruler in them to measure the size.
Not if you're following IEEE-754.
I still really want to try third-person view, but I can imagine it would be really disorienting.
You mean developer or website manager who do not apply the law properly. All those deceptive patterns are not part of the GDPR, they should clearly label accept and refuse.
I think it will take time for people to stop gathering so much information from users. Once a competitors start to figure it out, users might start using them (i.e. New York Times & GitHub.)
I like the way he sounds. Sometimes anger is the correct response.
Most dont, sans a third party adapter that replaces the battery. It's also implying that a power outlet is readily available, which I imagine with a lot of landscaping it isn't.
Thank you for this! In Chrome it was "right click on UO shield, Options -> Filters, expand and find the ones mentioned."
Even if it only gets us to subluminal speeds, that's still promising for Solar System exploration; even 1% of the speed of light would get us to pretty much anywhere in the Solar System within days or weeks rather than months or years.
There's always a drop cord and non-battery options for almost every tool, which I prefer to the inevitable battery degradation (so that makes my leafblower coal and hydro powered). I have an electric leafblower and 2 dropcords. When trucks are electric, problem solved, this can run off the accessory power.
I believe it was WCII which had a framerate which was dependent on the speed of the processor. I remember trying to play it some years after it came out, and you literally couldn't understand what was happening on screen because it was too fast.
Real-world code very rarely models real-world physical objects like this. This project is novel specifically because of that fact. And as soon as you step outside of modeling physical objects, OOP's benefits start to fall apart and you find yourself contorting abstract ideas into "objects" by way of concepts like Services, Strategies, Providers, Controllers, Adapters, etc (a whole lot of -ers, for the most part, which really drives home the fact that many of these objects only exist to "do" something, not to represent something).
Same SSN or other identifier I would guess.

Okay, I'll bite: what are the other four?
While people usually complain about the noise, the far bigger concern is pollution. Almost all of the power-weight advantage in the lightweight two-stroke engines used in these machines is gained with partial combustion of lubricant-enriched fuel and no emissions control. With some pollutants it is something like two to three magnitudes of order worse per unit of energy produced, compared to a low-emissions car engine.

>the primary UI and software stack were very locked off

Nothing's really locked off. The filesystem is fully accessible, the file format is not obfuscated in any way and was easily reverse-engineered (there are several libraries for reading/writing the format now), and it's possible to interact with the main "xochitl" UI by intercepting/simulating events and drawing to the framebuffer after the main UI draws.

It is true that they haven't opened the UI framework behind "xochitl", but I'd guess that it's probably pretty rudimentary and not particularly general given how simple "xochitl" is. Most third party apps for the device just use QT or draw directly to the framebuffer. (And why not use QT?)

>It's clear the developer intends for the device to be heavily restricted by default

They want the UI for average users to be fairly restricted, but IMHO they're intentionally leaving it open to people to hack on it. The CTO even has a crosswords app up on Github.

I'm a Software Engineer living in NYC. My most recent project, Haven (https://haven-secrets.github.io/), is an open-source, centralized secrets manager that protects your application secrets through a combination of encryption, access control, and injection-at-runtime. To build this project, I collaborated remotely with three other engineers, using AWS, Node/NPM, React, and Redux. You can read our case study here: https://haven-secrets.github.io/case-study.
This is inspired by & using emissions data from the calculator I helped build: https://carbon.fyi

Sic transit "E pluribus unum"?

Right, which is exactly why we should have banned them 20 years ago already. Just look at what happened with combustion engine scooters: we have been grandfathering these shitty, loud things for 30 years straight now. Now there are hundreds of electric scooter manufacturers in China and basically none serious in the western world.

It's just a bandaid that needs to be ripped off. Like RoHS getting rid of lead solder; that was never gonna happen without regulatory intervention.
> This is book-banning, pure and simple.

Have you looked up the definition of the word "banned"?

"to prohibit, forbid, or bar;"

These books are no longer being published; this is a legal freedom that the publisher has. They are no longer sold on Amazon; this is a freedom Amazon has. They are still available somewhere in the US, they are still legal to read, and they are still legal to own. This isn't banning, this is becoming distasteful to the market.

They have simply become less convenient to acquire.
None of the reviews I've read have had any complaints. If crews do find these electrics aren't as good, hopefully the market can respond & build better ones.

I have no reservation about saying that the societal good far outweighs the bad.

This corrects this imbalanced market where 99% of stakeholders are held captive by old, polluting, loud, ultra-obnoxious, all-downsides-heavily-externalized persistent disturbances. Mandating electric options was evidently what it's going to take to get any change, to start to do the right thing.

The market, now that it was to do the right thing, can begin to adjust it's approach as to how it wants to do the right thing. It can improve it's designs, &c.
Quick unrelated question as you seem to be a subject expert. Are there currently any neural network models that deal with multiple separate networks that occasionally trade or share nodes? It might be useful for modeling a system where members of an organization may leave and join another organization such as a business or a church

I really hope not. 72% is impressive. But, when you're thinking of making any real world decisions based on it, 72% shouldn't really be considered much better than chance.

Some important context that I think that's missing here is that Amjad is the founder of repl.it

My participation in the start up ecosystem has been strictly as an engineer and advisor. What I've observed of founders and early leaders over the years is that they don't live in reality and this often by necessity. What people see from the outside is these strong, pervasive, bulletproof personalities that are leading, changing our way of thinking, and changing our way of life - often in a meta-sense very rapidly. These people, like anyone else, doubt themselves and are quite often doubted by a majority of people they come into contact with. Ordinary people in the face of such doubt and opposition would likely fold to this feedback; thinking something along the lines of, "The majority of people tell me this is a fruitless idea" and move on with some momentary pause. Start up founders can't afford such a luxury. Peoples money, jobs, and futures lie in their hands and their continued interest of chasing this dream. Something has to fuel that mentality and when I read a piece like this it speaks to me in the way I observed what those founders had to tell themselves every day just to get through the day.

One of my mentors, who also came from the startup ecosystem, recently reflected, "Great engineers deal in reality because reality can be defined, measured, and acted upon but perception matters too. That is the struggle of every great engineer." Amjad isn't wrong, he's just a founder, and he deals in reality but also has to dabble in perception.
This is it. I was expecting something qyestionable, or even mildly awful. Instead, they are quaint, and full of life. They are outdated only because of current UI trends, not because they are objectively outdated.

I miss the soul and work that went into sites of the 1990s where it was dense information with a point, not thousands of pixels filled with nothing.
One important point to me is that culture changes. We should accept it without banishing where we came from.

A lot of music is misogynistic and violent, same as old movies, books and so on. Sure, don’t frivolously add to it to cause pain, but don’t ban things that are today anachronistic but when produced were uncontroversial.

Let’s say hypothetically the Great Wall of China was built by prisoners of war, slaves and other spoils of war. Do we then not visit them? Are they denounced?
After antitrust action from regulators and lawmakers from EU and the US seems inevitable, the contributors to the Data Transfer Project now, suddenly, believe portability and interoperability are central to innovation.
This strikes close to home - in a good way. While details are a bit different (excluding the college drop out part) I guess the best investment my parents made was when they bought me an i386... it sure took me places and then some. Being 40 soon computers had been a part of my life for well over 1/2 of it and I still enjoy the grind :)
Please consider cribbing off of Oakland's ordinance and championing it where you live. The more locales where banned, the faster manufacturing of gas powered lawn implements dies off.
Agreed, good riddance, but the noise is not going to go away, it's going to become a high-pitched scream, rather than a lower-pitched buzz.
Nope ... real rotten tomatoes ... not virtual ones.
Your comment is way off the mark. You completely ignore the very real environmental and quality-of-life issues with small two-stroke engines and call it virtue points.
How can we humans progress morally if we systematically try to hide the history of our immorality from ourselves?

This is precisely the same logic that led the Conquistadors to systematically destroy the history of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
My electric trimmer was not much more expensive than the gas one, and it's much quieter and the battery can be used in any of my other Ryobi products (chosen deliberately for this purpose). The battery easily lasts for my entire yard, but if I had a bigger lot (like my parents, around 1 acre), I might need a second battery.
>Notice how the most successful startups in the world all have remarkable genesis stories.

I like this article and philosophy, but I had to scoff at this point. I've seen too many startups invent their remarkable genesis story to create a convenient narrative. The truth is usually mundane and largely/entirely money-driven.
They are still there : Rimworld, Space Engineers... Factorio is a fan favorite on HN. You can also count Minecraft and Skyrim as long enduring successes.

GP isn't talking about deceptive patterns. Point is that no one really understand what these popups are for and everyone just blindly clicks ok.

"There are good stories and there are good decisions"

I think most people want to be somewhere in the middle. Unless you have a very high risk tolerance or are trying to be a writer you probably don't want to optimize for stories. If you wanted to optimize for good decisions you'd probably be an actuary and marry a woman you met at church.

Edit: I am genuinely not sure why this is being downvoted.
Ask HN: How do I learn drawing?
I have been bad at drawing my whole life, but I think drawing can improve my career as an engineer. I want to be able to illustrate my ideas when writing blog posts and documentation.

Where do I start? I have an IPad and Apple Pencil for digital drawing. I tried to learn how to draw by watching videos on Youtube and by practising a lot on my own, but I feel like I'm missing fundamentals.

I want to learn both raster and vector graphics. As it turned out, drawing complex real life objects using vector graphics is not easier.
The gov is able to limit density within the office buildings, so it should be able to limit density within the county limits. I agree, though, that such an initiative would be against the interests of just about everyone, except the future workers who don't exist today and don't have the right to vote.
Well, pictures of faces could be considered personal data per GDPR. Scraping that data without each person's approval could be illegal regardless of any terms of use.
There's no definitive definition of "moderate".

People who want to argue most people are moderate say the political middle is the 75% middle of the bell curve, while people who want to argue most people are partisan say the political middle is only the middle 20% of the bell curve.

What is accurate to say is that political views in Congress have bifurcated (not a bell curve), and that people in America have "sorted" -- decades ago many conservatives were Democrats and many liberals were Republicans, but now Republicans are virtually all conservative and Democrats are virtually all liberal. And people's political identities have become more important to them.

But it also continues to be accurate that when people are surveyed according to their actual political positions on issues (as opposed to party affiliation), political views of citizens are still strongly bell-shaped -- they cluster in the middle. (Contrasted with congresspeople who cluster at two peaks.)
He's a liberal. Sadly, the Left is pushing out liberals and abandoning liberal principles.
Maintaining a stable API surface is a burden.

That said, I would agree with such a mandate, as the costs are probably worth it.
"controlling for ... ethnicity"

There's significant signal buried in here that is likely not controlled for, depending on how granular their controls are.

White-German and White-Italian are much more (10-13 percent) likely to be conservative leaning than White-Irish or White-British.

Hispanic-Cuban are more likely to be conservative leaning than Hispanic-Mexican.
I've been hearing about the California exodus on Twitter, but in the real world I've been hearing about as many people moving into CA as out of CA. This event has triggered a lot of turnover, but I'm not sure if it's a net loss for CA.

The narratives about Florida or Texas becoming the next Silicon Valley are mostly being pushed by prominent VCs hoping to start a movement around their own personal moves
This is the thing, doesn't even need to be battery powered, houses usually have external accessible power points (at least in the US and certainly in Oakland).
If we only catered to the little guy to protect their jobs, we'd still have horse drawn carriages as the main form of transport...
Wow, those figures are mind blowing but honestly also don't even seem possible. 10% of all CO emmitted from what?

Even 10% nationally? Including every semi truck, car and airplane? And then all of our national power generation system?

It doesn't seem like blowers could be 10% of that no matter how you slice it.
Respectfully disagree. I take delight in observing these artifacts, it's unfortunate you cannot.
I might consider something closed source but I find your offering quite confusing. Is the download a standalone auth server? I notice it isn't mentioned on the pricing page so I don't really get it. It would also depend what the minimum RAM requirements are.
Perhaps, but buy (including registration, 45 forms in triplicate, insurance, etc) and return with a week is difficult to do in practice. You are also at the mercy of the seller to accept the return, not argue the tires were used, the car was rained on, or any number of blocks.
I think there's a lot going on here. Some of it is just general maturity and experience. Things that were novel when you were a child wear off when you're older. Those achievements that you aimed for as a child (having 'perfect' gameplay) may seem less meaningful when you're an adult, especially in the context of other real world achievements.

The loss of "novelty", to me, one of the most challenging things about aging. You can't feel the excitement of certain things again as you did when you did them for the first time. I think this is why it's important to try new hobbies.
Exactly. If it's a noise ordinance, set time limits during the day. If it's a pollution issue, look at the problem from a wider lens and then slowly introduce standards as we have with improving emissions in cars. This is simply a knee jerk feel good law that won't solve the problem. The 60v blowers are just as loud, the generators just as loud.
Musk is incredibly high profile and regularly receives negative press.
The marginal cost of UK vs international viewers is less than the ad revenue collected, I expect. Since the ads are the same as CNN or other for profit news agencies it also seems odd that a non-profit, government (in the English language sense, not the UK part of government sense) would have more stringent ad controls than for profit.

Making a government news source profit seeking is a pretty bad plan, I think.
