I thought I knew Emoji, but there was a lot I didn’t know. Thank you, a very enjoyable and enlightening read. Also, “dingbats”! I rarely seen that word since I was a kid (when I had no idea what that voodoo was but loved it).
I think his question is: what's the point?
There are comments further down explaining how the containers likely weigh substantially more than the lift capacity of heavy lift helicopters. They'd have to partially unload the contents of each individual container first.

And if you're unloading, the human labor cost to unload the whole container is probably cheaper than the cost of running a fleet of helicopters for weeks to months.
> Then they should simply charge the higher amount.

Then, to make things go smoothly, you will have to pay the higher amount as well as a bribe.

> This even goes higher up, as paves the way for higher levels of corruption where things needs to be at scale and yet hush hush, exposing whole nations to political risks(from money laundering to terrorism).

I think you have it the opposite way around. Where there is an effective government that makes sure that laws are written and enforced fairly, and wealth is distributed somewhat evenly, corruption disappears.
I've ceased using Google. DuckDuckGo, Yandex and Bing give better (less curated) results, track less and obviate the need for Google.
This is a very cool idea. I love to see more worker-owned takes on big-tech ideas.
If dang criticizes a comment, it is inappropriate for this forum. He is never wrong. You are wrong.

Dwell on this, repeat it to yourself, and internalize it deep within. That “a bit off” feeling will pass once you truly understand this truth.
Wow, I wonder how do they manage to cover the expenses of running a tech startup? We know that software business is capital and intellectual property heavy. How do these people do it?
Seems like a great method to social engineer people into copying to clipboard something that will install a trojan, get them to open a command prompt and paste it, in the general concept of curl piped into a shell.
Judges talk about it all the time, usually in less direct language, when they give the jury their instructions. The solution is: judges talk about it, but can't really stop a jury from doing it.

I don't think it is accurate to define it as 'mob rule.' Generally, in mob rule, the mob decides who is guilty and punishes them arbitrarily. In jury nullification, the mob decides who is technically guilty but unjustly punished (because the law is bad, because the punishment is too severed, etc..)

I won't lie to a judge or to anyone in court. But I won't ever convict someone if the death penalty is on the line. I expect to be excused, but if not... That isn't 'mob rule.' That's a power granted to me as a juror by the system. Presidents and Congress have grasped far more power than that without explicitly (and sometimes without even implicitly) being granted that power.

It’s not a separate tank (in any of my bikes at least) so it gets disturbed every time you refill the tank?
It’s stressful but it serves a purpose. In the west, we use “sliding scales”, or “surge pricing”, or “suggested donations” to charge people different prices according to their means. The rest of the world has very similar mechanisms. The main difference is the sliding scales aren’t published, even if they are well known.
Simple and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Well, 90% of the world is doing just fine without the jury system. What is so great about it anyways?

I’m not the person you replied to but I believe the “question” of jury nullification they were alluding to was whether or not it can be argued by the defendant. I’m not a criminal lawyer but from what I recall the answer (for lawyers representing defendants, at least) is no.

Again, not a criminal lawyer, but I doubt a judge would ever instruct a jury with respect to nullification. It’s not relevant. The role of the jury is fact finder. The function of the jury is not to determine right from wrong or good law from bad law.

For fun, 20 mins from the center of Copenhagen:

Is there a farm? Yes

Is there a harbor? Yes

Is there an airport? Yes

Is there a powerplant? Yes

Is there a military base? No (or maybe, depending on definition)

My personal threshold is probably closer to 5 mins, otherwise I'll not go, or order what I need. We joke that we live in a 800m rectangle 99% of the time, save for trips to the airport.
All I'm arguing is that the court already has the right to rule over whether it's OK to shoot fleeing suspects. This isn't blurring any line, our constitutionally protected rights are being challenged.

>> As a consequence, deep thought workers are seen by their immediate and responsive counterparts as obtuse, eccentric, or worse: lazy and unable to manage their time.

Literally just had this on my year end review. I won't go into the useless stack ranking the company I work for uses, but none of my project work was ever late (it was actually either right on time or early) but because I'm a night owl and do a majority of my work off hours, I'm considered "unavailable" when other regular folks need to get a hold of me because I'm not online at 7am like everyone else. Yet any issues are resolved in a timely manner regardless.

I literally got a lower rating because my manager said there was a "lack of effort" during business hours and that other team members said I was "aloof" and "not present" during long managerial meetings.

I had to spend most of this week refuting what my manager wrote on my review since if I decided to move departments, other managers will look at it since its a typical process managers to do when hiring internal candidates. Pulling in copious amounts of documentation to refute what he was saying cost me a days work, but in the end, I had no other choice.

I'm still bitter about the whole thing.

Not to mention dragging a 300,000,000 pound ship through sand is... difficult.
I think something to that effect was implicit in "the bundle itself includes a Julia runtime," but I vouched for this comment anyway since it's an important limitation and the parent comment evidently wasn't explicit enough to prevent confusion.

Good on em - I hope they get a ton of support from this community and elsewhere.
Also curious about this. It's doubtful. Given the growing number of people coming from Apple it would be great if the DEs provided an option in settings to default to using ctrl or cmd. DEs already make similar accommodations for users coming from Windows. For instance, in KDE you can press Win+E (Explorer) and get the file manager.
Ask HN: What tool do you use to “call” your back-end APIs while developing?
Do you use something like Postman, Httpie, or plain-old Curl? How do you "check" or "test" the API endpoint you're writing? Do you use the testing framework and test the whole HTTP request/response cycle from the test itself?
I'm sure it is, and works great for that, I just think it needs one more layer of user consent and understanding before it's turned on.
Oh it gets better, they could declare General Average https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_average and then instead of buying new one of what you lost you are chipping in for everyone else on board.
Of the two I know, one is a general manager / executive type that surfs and used to be in a frat.

The other is a sales guy / stoner type, who always seems to have been to every new bar and restaurant and already know the owners by the time I've heard of the place.

These descriptions are just the two I know--but you get the idea. They genuinely value people, so it's not a chore for them to know people, and they never really "network". They just like people.

There's actually quite a lot of people with these kinds of traits. The trick, which is harder, is finding ones you respect and get along with, so you (the relative introvert) will keep up your end of the relationship.

A lot times, I see skilled specialists look down on the more generalists/people-oriented people as being some form of incompetent. Compared to the specialist in their field, they always are. The thing that makes these 2 special to me is that they're humble about their limitations in a way that makes really respect them. They're definitely not blowhards.

Some things should be cheaper, due to the work already done by existing competitors. They don't need to spend marketing dollars on educating people on ride-hailing in general, do not need to buy lobbyists to make amenable laws, their initial app can be merely a clone of the competitors'.

Now that driver and rider expectations around the service have solidified somewhat the backend systems can be simpler too.

I think maybe this is hard to answer! Yesterday I started going through my favourited comments and pasting the most uplifting of them into an answer here, but gave up after half a dozen. They weren't that uplifting. But the answer just occurred to me -

Probably 90% of the most inspiring, uplifting comments I've read on HN have been those written by dang. Many times I've just sat there and marvelled at them. I not long ago recommended a non-HN friend getting involved in community organisations/meetings/leadership read his comments, to marvel at his patience, wisdom, communication skills, calmness, generosity, openness..and many other virtues.

It seems more usual in the real world that the government/manager/leader etc of a country seem among the worst people for the job. Or at least that a random choice of leader would mostly be better!
Read the full opinion. It's not as cut and dry as you think. Thomas also actually asked questions during oral argument. For anyone who is not a huge SCOTUS nerd, Thomas asking questions during oral is exceedingly rare but has increased in frequency over the last 2-3 years. A lot of people don't like him, for a range of reasons, but I tend to enjoy reading his opinions and hearing his questions (when he asks them) even if I disagree with them.
And now they can make the argument that the lawsuit is invalid as the action was reasonable. The order these challenges were made is suspect, they didn't have to address this issue first.

I had a large, scary looking rescue dog for years. Sweetest cuddle bug ever. But she looked tough as hell, and it was amazing how the reactions of people differed when I walked with her versus without her.

I appreciate that you take the time to teach your daughters those sorts of safety precautions. Personally, I went through an, "Ugh, my parents are SO paranoid and judgemental" phase as a teen. But their wisdom has gotten me out of some tricky situations in the past, and now that I'm older, I will be forever grateful for it.
So you're asking, which stupid seeming ideas are really brilliant but misunderstood. Yes an important question. ;)

Just brainstorming, but maybe the irony is that your scenario somehow has even worse incentives? For example, building up that rollover number would gamify thriftiness greatly exceeding the typical "oops didn't spend it all," and think about the consequences of when you DIY something you're not the best at instead of hiring the pros.

One of the most amazing things to me is that a couple of large hotel chains can't come up with a hotel reservation coop that would compete/throw out with bookin.com et al. If you worry about competition, just found two or three competing coops and be member of them all. SEO? If most hotels are nowhere but in the coop platforms, how can google not display them at top?
> literally legal highway robbery by police, that would be great.

That's not true. I believe just the burden of proof is more similar to civil (preponderance of the evidence) than criminal (beyond a reasonable doubt). It still seems unreasonable, but not literally legal highway robbery.
Courts are already unelected legislators; the least they could do is enforce the Constitution.

About the refcounting approach, you may want to look at the Perceus paper. It's refcounting with dynamic reuse of memory that isn't shared (like a sort of runtime linear typing), and it's used in Koka for functional programming.

The article above links to https://somerandomstuff1.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/geoguessr-... which (way in the middle of a huge amount of content) includes a couple of language recognition flowcharts -- diagrammatic rather than software-implemented.

I doubt I would ever think of language recognition this way, but I bet those flowcharts do include individual tricks that people (like avid Geoguessr players) could choose to learn pretty easily.

I mean, I guess a fact like "Łł is in Polish and no other national language" feels OK to me but I personally feel better about learning other kinds of features when at all possible (individual words, morphemes, n-grams?). Although I don't plan for my own trainer software to force users to learn any particular kind of tips rather than others; I'm hoping to have it generate several kinds of recognition tips that might appeal to different people.

For example, I like knowing (and would like to teach people) that the English suffix -tion corresponds (regularly!) to

* Latin -tio [accusative form "-tionem" often cited in etymology]
* French -tion
* Spanish -ción
* Portuguese -ção
* Catalan -ció
* Italian -zione

like: nation, natio, nation, nación, nação, nació, nazione

But I could imagine that some people would say "I'm going to focus on how Portuguese and French have ç and these other languages don't, and Portuguese has ã and these other languages don't, and only Spanish and Catalan can have -ó, and Italian words almost always end with vowels and Catalan words commonly end with consonants" without learning the individual endings. And I hope I'll get my trainer into shape to help them learn that too, if they want to think about it that way.

Uber invested a lot of money into self-driving cars. Presumably a coop isn't spending money on automating away their workers.
The problem there is that it's already been ruled the police do not have to protect you.

So I don't know how you square that with the idea that someone has a freedom to be protected by police, who in turn are free to elect not to do that.
Frantumaglia: Elena Ferrante’s Blurred Lines
I agree with this assessment. Of course its not a solution. Its delaying the inevitable. But depending on the rate of "filling up the disk for unknown reason" it will buy you time.

So when you're running out of space, you immediately delete the junk file. Suddenly there's "No Problem" and you've reset the symptom back to hopefully well before it was an issue. Now you can run whatever you need to, do reports, do traces etc. Even add more storage if necessary.

More importantly, as soon as you delete that junk file now you have space for logs. You have space and time for investigation.
I worked for a very large bank for a spell and distinctly remember this from their mandatory anti-bribery training. I thought it was hilarious that this was enshrined in the formal material, but was glad because i would stress putting it on my expense report.
What is his basis for that statement?
One of the first companies I worked at (a startup) had a strict protocol on how to ask someone for help.

The chain was basically:

a) ping them over IM. Do not grenade them with your problem. Ask first if they have time to help you:

No? Try fixing your problem on your own for another 20-30 minutes.

Yes? Be short and to the point. If its a coding issue, list all of the solutions you've tried first and what the issue is.

Allow the person you are asking to set the parameters of the help:

a) how fast can this be done? Can I do this over IM?

b) does this need a webex or meeting to figure out?

c) how much time will the meeting require to solve problem? Estimate and go from there.

d) do any of the previous infringe on your current work? Have a person set up a meeting for later in the day and then leave them alone.

It was literally taboo to go to someone's desk and ask them for help. It was hammered into people that work comes first and any distraction costs time and money. Even when you go over and tap someone on the shoulder? They have to mentally disengage with their work to speak to you. That's precious time they are losing. Same thing after they've completed even a 5 min conversation, they have to get back to whatever they were doing which also takes time. There was some study that said just a handful of these interruptions can cause a company millions. When you're at a startup, every dollar wasted costs the bottom line.

Absolutely blown away by the number of things you can do from a web browser these days. All of this would've been unimaginable a mere 10 years ago, right around the time when Google Chrome was in its infancy (or just out of it, to be precise) and the web browser market was still dominated by Internet Explorer, with Opera, Firefox and Safari (back when there was a Windows version of Safari) taking up small slices of the market share.

Another cool site to check out: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org -- a great tool to see how unique your browser's 'fingerprint' is and how well it protects you from trackers and other annoyances online.
I like this, but I'm a python guy. Any alternatives? PDFs aren't that complex with the libraries we have now, are they?
This is an awful amount of weight to be moved. But one thing it has going is that all of the weight is on a vessel that is designed to float. We have canal locks that can lift ships this size.

So my crazy idea is to build a reverse cofferdam around the ship with Larssen steel pilings and pump water into it until the ship floats and straighten the ship and remove the pilings.
