Yes. Definitively not like my microwave. My microwave has not only the worst interface. But it also lags. The polling rate of the capacitive touche buttons is too low. And any action also takes a second to validate. It's horrendous.

People are required to eat. Charging for food and only being able to work at X wage is force through collusion.

the sillicon valley bubble of HN is sometimes hilarious.

the concept of a company providing shuttle bus service instead of just having proper public transport to bussiness parks is very weird when one thinks about it.
The problem is that you're not going to have this choice. You'll be that guy insisting he wants a phone that's thicker but has better battery life - no manufacturer cares what you want because they have to operate at a scale where they can't cater for niches.
Genuine question, what should I replace Firebase with? I have a responsibility to my customers there, not just myself. I want to fulfill that responsibility by migrating off of Google while continuing to provide the product performance they expect.
Companies won't invest in factories if they think the demand is temporary. Because by the time they come online the demand will be gone.
>You would be making the product only available to those who can turn the highest profit from it and would lose the rest of your customer base to your competitor who is smart enough to not use an auction model

Auction sucks because it drives the price of goods up, but you know what's worse than prices going up? Prices going to infinity because they're out of stock.
Yeah it’s a bummer it’s necessary but at least you can turn it back on after you’ve installed it.
No, it's pretty fucking stupid all the way around... I broke my own rule and went to that garbage news site The Verge and read Casey Newton's article.

A list of names that sound or look funny.

Wow.

The amount of disdain I have for idiotic busybodies who would fuss and fret over such a thing cannot be overstated, or even quantified.

How about just ignoring the list? How about saying to someone, when they tell you about the list, "That's dumb. Grow up, <name>."

How about just going on about your day.

The fact that any human being would think a list of funny names should be a fireable offense is a testament to this new idiotic religion of Wokeness. A bunch of shitty people traded Christianity for another religion where they can be insufferable assholes, under the guise of righteousness.

That's the literal interpretation given by DHH in his blog, when describing what happened. Personally I don't see how it is wrong, it literally says "first step to genocide". In any case, discussing whether it leads to genocide or not is clearly about political beliefs.

What’s the current gender makeup % of your engineering team, if I can ask? As well, what’s the non white makeup of the engineering leadership and overall leadership team? I found it got easier the less that ratio skewed towards 100%M engineering team and 100% white leadership team :)
French Muslims aren't any less French. Most of them are multiple generations removed from another country than France. Why would you expect them to move to the country of their grandparents and of whose language they often don't even speak?

Beyond that, most immigrants to France aren't Muslim either. Around a third come from the Maghreb, though not all of them are Muslim either. The reason why they go to France is because colonial era French institutions mean that they were taught French, and their countries are quite poor, so they go to the only country they have a solid shot of going to. Often they already have family in France.

But even then, only about 100 000 people from the Maghreb immigrate into France, which is slightly north of a tenth of a percent.

They can't really leave France either for mostly the same reason France is the main source of immigration.

> As of a few years ago you can choose which rides you take without penalty.

That wasn't there before and I have no reason to believe it now without evidence. Turning down rides always had negative effects such as less rides being assigned to you.

> The back-to-back ride thing has nothing to do with having the Lyft app installed or not

You should look this up in older news articles. AFAIK that's just not true. Maybe it's changed, but at one point Uber was changing their app behavior when you had Lyft driver app installed.

> If you drive when it's busy the incentives don't matter.

So you're implicitly agreeing with me that the incentives are perverse and encourage you to drive during peak times?

> I don't know any Uber drivers in my city who lease their cars from Uber. Never heard of this happening.

Then I encourage you to read about this. There's a large fraction of people who don't believe anything unless it's happened to them or their friends personally. And I think this is a shame given how available information is with today's internet. This definitely 1000% happens. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Probably not, probably because the software development tools on CP/M were far inferior to those on later OSs, such as Windows, UNIX, et al. For example, I'm not aware of a C++ compiler available for CP/M, or a VCS.

Having said that, I've written a ton of software on CP/M and enjoyed doing it - at the time. I wouldn't want to do it now.
It's an accurate representation of the actual technical fallout.

As for the "this is a sign of the end times" narrative that has been spun around it, it's mostly just for the headlines.

I wouldn't even disagree that it is a sign of the end times, but practically speaking, it just wasn't a big deal.

Lower standard of living, if not poverty, seems like the simplest explanation. You're comparing the richest countries with an emerging market country that has an astronomical number of poor people. They'll have worse health outcomes in general. Also, polution in India is terrible drom what I understand.

While that's long been common in some situations (schools, military, healthcare, certain limited international travel), it hasn't been the case generally in the past. Put such a requirement in, with appropriate medical exceptions, and expect to fire a non-trivial portion of your workforce who can't work from home and/or need to physically meet with other employees/customers/partners. Not making a judgment but just observing the reality.

If telling people to "get over it" about a list of names and then they don't want to "get over it" and then telling them to go pound sand is the worst management fuck-up you've ever seen, then you need to never - and I mean never - quit your current job, because its pretty clear your management team is unbelievably competent.

In fact, send me a link to your company's Careers page, because I want to work for a company that's got their shit together so thoroughly.

Sure, whether he deserved to win a couple of MVPs is a perfectly valid argument. The fact that there were probably single-digits worth of better players than him during the greatest era the NBA has ever seen is the definition of a great player, no?
Absolutely correct.

The whole "shared libraries are better for security" idea is basically stuck in a world where we don't really have proper dependency management and everyone just depends on "version whatever".

This is interestingly also holding back a lot of ABI breaking changes in C++ because people are afraid it'll break the world... which, tbf, it will in a shared library world. If dependencies are managed properly... not so much.

I wish distros could just go back to managing applications rather than worrying so much about libraries.

EDIT: There are advantages with deduplicating the memory for identical libraries, etc., but I don't see that as a major concern in today's world unless you're working with seriously memory-constrained systems. Even just checksumming memory pages and deduplicating that way might be good enough.
> Occams razor tells me that other animals probably do have a concious experience just like ours.

For most mammals, everything is so similar...including responses to stimuli like light, sound, temperature, pain, pleasure, even predictive behavior (knowing when they have done something to provoke a human response) that the same principle leads me to believe it's likely they have a very similar experience.

> take away this introduction of toes-dipped-in-the-water with quick transition to jumping in altogether, and then further hide the code from you. And if you ever do find the code, it's often directory trees with a dozen different "professional-looking" bureaucracy files in the top, and the source code buried somewhere else.

Here's a bunch of tricks one should know if one wants to learn Elisp:

1. You can use describe-function (C-h f) or describe-variable (C-h v), as well as various apropos functions (starting with apropos, C-h a), you can find documentation about pretty much everything in Emacs, down to every single internal function or variable of any bit of Elisp code.

2. When you do that, you get a help buffer that almost always starts with something like "foo is a variable defined in `foo.el`". That "foo.el" bit is a link. You can click on it (or move your point to it and press Enter), and it'll land you straight at the definition of that function/variable. This is your shortcut to jumping straight into relevant source code of everything. Including C code, if you dig yourself into Emacs internals.

3. You can navigate to the help buffer in 2 from plenty of places, including e.g. the list of current modes, or description of a mode.

4. When you're playing around with Elisp code, xref-find-definitions (M-.) will take you straight to definition of a function under point.

Emacs is thoroughly documented and cross-referenced. Your own installation is its own single, living codebase - and you can navigate through it as such.

>> There's a worry that insurance won't cover you if the car manufacturers say "Oh he hacked the software". Accidentally hit someone? Now you have to pay the full damage. Got into an accident? Sorry, pay your own hospital, your coverage has been cancelled.

You bring up a good point, but that assumes that there are problems with the replacement car software.

People repair and modify their own cars today and most insurers do not object unless their is some kind of gross negligence / unsafe modifications.
Most of these GPUs are mining Ethereum and not Bitcoin (ASIC is far more efficient for that). Many of the popular altcoins are not using Proof of Work either, so banding together to 51% attack them using GPUs would be moot. Ethereum will be moving to Proof of Stake later this year (maybe) as well.
> always indicate the underlying intention or psychological leaning

You can say that all you want, but words have cultural meanings, and it's just not true. We're not going to get very far if your argument boils down to "the way that people commonly use the word racism is wrong." Society disagrees with you, and they get to choose what words mean.

More to the point, I think it's a little naive to say that the current situation with Black neighborhoods doesn't have intentionality behind it. Redlining was on purpose, it was not an accident. Regardless of whether every single person participating in that system today is trying to be racist, the position we're in exists because of intentional action during America's history.

If you want to argue that the intentionality goes away or should be ignored as soon as a law is passed, first I disagree that racism is completely absent in modern policy decisions, but second, it's just a silly thing to argue even if racism had ended when we passed civil rights.

It's like if I start a chess game with 2 queens, and halfway through the game I throw one of my queens away. Is the game suddenly fair? No, because I've built myself a structural advantage during the first half of the game, pushed you into a worse position, captured more pieces, and that advantage can't suddenly be ignored during the second half just because I'm no longer actively cheating.

> the word "racism" is just to obscure different levels of mechanisms

People say this, but I have noticed a strong correlation between people understanding what the words "systemic racism" means and understanding a lot about how these systems operate. If people using the words "systemic racism" were just running around doing nothing, and it was everyone else trying to get rid of problematic housing policies or qualified immunity, then I might be more sympathetic to this concern.

But that's not what I see. The people who understand the racial origins of ghettos are also the people on the ground working hard to reform housing policies. They're very much not using systemic racism as a distraction, they're using it as a motivation to examine how our modern systems work and to try and make them more equitable. That's unequivocally a good thing for everyone, regardless of race.

If the software in a car requires long term maintenance beyond the extremely rare bug fix update, then it does too much imho. That's the point, keep it very simple. I don't need an entertainment system, maps, games, or any of that crap. Just an aux port or bluetooth with audio output. Maybe an am/fm radio at most.
People buy apps and pay for upgrades to extend the capabilities of their phones. I don't see how this is different. Maybe they should just call them apps for cars.
> charging subscriptions is the only way to get a lot of the features to work out for the life time of the car.

No, no, no. I'm purchasing a car for upwards of $30,000 (and it's always more, between dealer fees, the cars just happening to only have the priciest interiors, salesmen and their pushy pitches, interest on loans, etc.); they don't need another $5 a month for fucking software updates.

They can mange it today just fine (my car desires a wi-fi connection so it can get these updates), they're just being greedy if they charge.

> And even if they couldn’t, having a smaller but more productive workforce might be a win.

I wouldn’t want to work for a company that somehow managed to get dragged down by 20 people. If losing those people is making the company better, then it sounds like leadership is deeply incompetent and let things fester for way, way, way too long. Keep in mind that some of those people worked there for 12 years; if losing them is a net positive why weren’t they fired a decade ago?

I also think the idea that the remaining workers will be more productive is laughable. Events like these crush morale, even if you ultimately agree with the policy decision being made. Never mind what happens when you lose so much knowledge, including entire teams and directors, with basically no warning or opportunity to transfer knowledge.

> How would an automated system know, that you did not just non-transformatively alter another person's performance, instead of performing yourself?

Yes, exactly. You have really nailed the problem with the current system.

Google chose to build an automated system. That was a choice, not an immutable fact. Google chose not to have a human arbitration process. Another choice. Google chooses not to punish the claimants that abuse the system. Another choice, not an immutable fact.

People aren't saying there must be a perfect automated system. People are saying Google has chosen to employ an automated system that does not meet the actual needs.

The criticism is for Google choosing to exclusively use an automated system, which can never successfully perform this task.

As stated above, I watched the promotional video from PeerTube themselves on the JoinPeertube.org website and experienced multiple hiccups in under 30s. If their own hosting isn't cutting it, what chance does anyone else have?

> You probably chose a slow server.

I didn't choose a server. I chose a video. The moment the service asks me to think about what server is hosting it is the moment I don't care enough to jump through those hoops. Never underestimate the value of a consistent experience.

Once again, I don't want to be disparaging to PeerTube--it's a cool concept and I understand the foundations behind it. But, spending 10 minutes with it earlier today made it obvious that it's not going to challenge YouTube as a content discovery platform.

Edit: Corrected the URL from "PeerTube.com" to "JoinPeertube.org" -- I typed "PeerTube.com" in haste and just assuming the URL.
