> I don't want my password fields autocompleting; that sounds like an absolute usability nightmare.

Why? The usability is really good. This feature is invaluable if you use unique random passwords for every web site. Security has to be painless in order to work. If it's not, people will go back to using the same weak password for every site.

Letting web developers tell the browser what fields it should autofill is a fine idea. Unfortunately, they decided to use this power to turn off people's password managers for bullshit "security reasons". This is why we can't have nice things.
I smell a lot of nostalgia in this thread, and rightfully so! IE has been a terrible browser, but it was our terrible browser.

But fear not! Outlook still uses the HTML parsing engine from MS Word (!) to display your HTML emails, and it's not going anywhere.
Have you negotiated this?

Or have you ever seen an agent offer this?

To explain the issue in detail for others that don’t understand the dynamics:

A flat percentage is the standard where I live. Selling agents are only incentivised to get as many sales through as quickly as possible, and the agent will deceive and cheat to achieve that goal. Selling 20 homes at 5% discount is almost double the earnings (commissions) for the agent than selling 10 homes.

Agents make wayyyy more by selling more houses quickly than they ever could by spending more time selling each home to get a few percent more.

Yet the person selling the home really really cares about that few percent because their home is often highly leveraged: if they have paid 20% of principal and get 1% more from the sale, that is actually 5% extra return (which can easily be equivalent to avoiding many extra years of work before a home is paid off).
Rents are already rapidly going back up since their lows late last year, so don't hold your breath.

Top educational apps for children might not be as beneficial as promised
Firefox ignores the right click overrides if you hold down shift. I'm not sure about text selection, but there's probably a way to do that as well. I haven't found a bypass on Chrome yet, though.

As for copy, I often find that the less common copy/paste commands (ctrl/shift+insert) still work when control+c/v have been intercepted. Sometimes adding an extra key also works (ctrl+shift+c). I theorize that this is because a lot of the times copy/paste is disabled, the incompetence of the people deciding on and building in the anti feature drips all the way down to the JS implementation.

Exxon Mobil's Messaging Shifted Blame for Warming to Consumers
Thanks for the tip! I'll check that out
While I agree with most of the points against instant messaging apps, finding a good subject for an email is always difficult for me.

I often find myself writing an email and then spending 15 minutes on "what should I put in the subject?" to end up using a lame line like "About X".

Marketing emails and first contact emails are even harder because I want to trigger interest without being clickbaity/spammy.

Building something that people want and will pay for has a compounding effect far beyond trading time for an hourly rate.

Sometimes what you build can be early, and it needs to simmer for a while or flesh out. There is a real opportunity time cost for sitting on things to ripen that someone else may be in a place to work.

It’s really shouldn’t be worded as a backhanded compliment that if it’s really what you want to do. There are people who have built and scaled things and have decided what’s good for them, and how it’s good for them.

Having 10m on a 100m exit or 10m on a 30m exit, or 1m of 1-2m exit is all the same to the bank account, maybe not ones self image.

Being an exited founder at any dollar amount puts a person in very small company, and learning to exit small deals can also teach one to be prepared on what to look out for on the bigger deals. This is probably the biggest thing, if entrepreneurship is in your blood you want to make sure you’re well rounded and prepped for those biggest outcomes of your life.

Still, it’s fun to see what you’re made of and see how much you can make of nothing. One can imagine what is possible with $ efficiency.
Funny you say that because when I lived in New York a few years ago gentrification and high rents was the top complaint among residents (mainly around the time Brooklyn started getting unaffordable), and people would point to San Francisco as a city which had a lot of money but could still keep its artsy/counterculture roots intact.

Is proxy protocol really a terrible hack? (Ok the part where it expects the header to be in a single packet and have no other data kind of is, but that usually works out ok) It's a way to pass some meta data at the beginning of the session and you can configure it.

Alternatively, if your proxy and origin are on the same ethernet broadcast domain, you could just change the destination ethernet address and resend the packet as-is, or stick it in an IPIP tunnel.
There are obvious benefits to Chromium being open-source, but you're kidding yourself if you think that gives you an ounce of control over the direction of web standards and the web as a whole.

Sure, you can look at (most of) Chrome's source code, and fork it all day long if you want. But it will amount to little when it comes to actual control of the web. You simply won't have the marketshare to steer the direction of the web standards themselves.

The end result will be the same as we suffered with IE's dominance: de facto control of the web by a single entity.

But at least the ride to hell will be nicer.

Whoa, you can't post slurs like that to HN, regardless of which group. No more of this, please. You've done it repeatedly in multiple comments already, and we ban such accounts.

I don't think of it as currency but as an asset, like gold. I refer to it as digital gold. Assets are not ideal for currency because overall they inflate in value (deflation), which discourages spend. Currency is designed to deflate in value (inflation), albeit at a controlled rate, to encourage spend. That's why you don't want to keep an excess of money in the bank - you want to move that money which deflates in value to assets which inflate in value - you want to buy gold, stocks, real estate, digital gold (cryptocurrency) and stuff like that.

The confusion of treating an asset such as bitcoin as currency is it's fluidity - which is just a measure of how easy it is to convert currency into an asset and an asset into currency. Stocks, for example, have an extremely high fluidity, which also contributes somewhat to their variability. Real estate on the other hand has a very low fluidity (historically speaking anyway, today's market notwithstanding). No one thinks of purchasing goods and services with stocks, nor should you think of purchasing goods and services with bitcoin.

Viewed in that light bitcoin is actually something that's quite familiar: gold. It's digital gold. Now is it good to invest in such an asset? That's another question we can tackle on another day!

/rant but I feel like talking about percentage points of difference is always hard for humans. For example:

> In comparisons of men and women, there was an 8% difference from demographic parity in favor of women.

would have been clearer (and more correct) as "an 8 percentage-point difference from demographic parity". That 8 pp difference though is a 16% "relative" difference (58/50), or more starkly "The algorithm chose the woman almost 40% more often" (58/42 => 1.38). That said, the diagram in the post [1] is much easier for humans to parse and say "wow, that looks pretty far off!".

tl;dr: A number like 8% sounds like "no big deal", but 8 percentage points (on each side) is a big deal!

I'm living in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Oakland, and I would definitely not consider it "fine". The area is beautiful, but we're plagued by gunpoint robberies, burglaries, dumping, etc — people coming in and treating us as a place to loot and leave.

I love Oakland, but I'm gone as soon as our rent is up. There's a general lawlessness here that's incredibly frustrating.

I started to sympathize and even being admirative at times, then it got darker.

One word: theft.

Taking advantage of free snacks, fine, it is what they are for. Taking stuff back home is borderline but ok. Not handing back the $350 headphones because no one is looking, definitely not ok. The way she described the situation as "everyone is rich so no need to lock thing up and check everything" instead of "people trust each other". The way she got her meal stolen 3 times in a previous job and didn't report it even though it is significant to her, as if theft was normal.

It is the attitude I noticed from someone who just got out of prison. A nice guy, but he got caught in gangs and drug trafficking. It took a while for him to get back into a world where people just trust each other, where "take it" means exactly that. He has a job is living a honest life now.

I hope that the author is fine now, that she managed to learn the lesson of poverty, keep the frugal attitude and respect for low paid workers while dropping the quasi-criminal thinking that goes with poverty.

Also, that she goes back to the gym, show these assholes who think she "doesn't belong" the finger and lost that fat that seems to weight her down in more way than one.

Also, how did we get to a situation where obesity and poverty are correlated? Really a paradox of the first world.
So called fat tailed distributions are a random walk. It’s just that their sample distribution is a power law (no mean hence fat tail). Example of which is a Lévy flight: a random walk with a heavy tail.

Well, from what I've read all alphanumeric can be typed just fine, they go as is to terminal, problem is with special keys that some of them emit escape sequences that confuse shell or combinations of those.

But not to trust what I just read I've installed kitty and tested it and you can type in the "reset" just fine.
I hit a bit of a problem with "Entering" it, as apparently if you have numlock enabled (which I do on login) pressing "Enter" sends escape code: "^[[13;129u", but if you disable numlock it is typed in as per documentation: "0x0d - for the Enter key", which in any ascii table is Carriage Return.

And yes, issuing reset restored normal terminal operation.
At those vacancy rates, the only thing holding up rents is the overwhelming amounts of liquidity in the economic system. Land owners still have cash, in other words. Back in 2001, I rented an office for free. The landlord could then reduce his property tax rate by showing the city that it was occupied at zero rent. Stranger things might happen this time around with 20% vacancy.
Email and Gmail are not perfectly congruent. An unsettling number of people now seem to be under the impression that Gmail "is" email, in the sense that all email is Gmail and Gmail is all email.

Even if Gmail is currently delivering the messages (for now...), other service providers have to manage spam in their own way, and TLDs are sometimes a really strong signal for message reputation. For example, 99% of email traffic from .info addresses is spam, and the other 1% is mostly spam too.

Of course not. But reading how somebody who is strongly convinced that their current tech choice is good is trashing another tech that didn't immediately solve all their problems isn't a compelling or objective criticism either, wouldn't you say?

Thinking back, I remember that the guy had 1-2 good points but the rest was mostly ranting. They are fun to read but rarely are informative.
> the way distros inject themselves into this software development process produces these bad outcomes

As a former maintainer of packages in an enterprise Linux ecosystem, I agree. But...the patches are often meant to solve a dependency mismatch and the maintainers can't easily pull related dependencies forward without breaking other applications. It's great that other distros like Arch just simply upstream the patches - it's the right thing to do after all - but that takes time that the enterprise distributions don't always have.
There've been questions about this on the mailing lists recently

> hold some parallel business analogies in their head and think they can make decisions on that basis

The advantage with folks like this is it becomes abundantly clear when they open their mouths that they have no idea what they are talking about most of the time.

The major disadvantage though is these people tend to be the loudest in the space, and are heard more since people tend to want to hear exciting sexy ideas over the mundane reality of things.

I fully agree with you, but the demographics in HN is special -- you may be talking to people who work at Google-scale :P

Anyway I believe you really need a very special case to make Elixir shine. Obviously you can build whatever you want with it, and it's really nice, but if you are doing consulting you are going on for a hard sell. And startups will sooner or later feel the crunch of more expensive and/or difficult hiring.

I see the obesity epidemic, notice some brave souls fighting it, but I'm almost sure it'll go from bad to worse. Like many things, humans psyche works against us (or is easily used to trigger us to buy now more more), it isn't meant to deal with an overabundance of bad but delicious foods. As long as it is in the economic interests of the food supply chain to sell more, no awareness campaign no matter how good can stop people from eating the bad stuff that's so readily accessible. Only solution I see is a near ban on the bad stuff, enormous taxes, but I don't see that happening, first because of the industry lobby second because people will see it as too much interference in their lives. In a day and age where individualism and liberatism seem to become core values that's just not gonna happen. So we'll get some awareness campaigns, get some red stickers on a select few products, and in 20 years we'll think every fit person is an athlete.
You missed my point. I know it's T&C. I'm asking where is the line between "mining crypto" that is banned and that is allowed. You can't say that T&C ban mining crypto for proof of stake, because it doesn't abuse any rented resources; or your own, experimental proof-of-number-of-starts-on-github or proof-of-hn-karma, or proof-of-lowest-latency, proof-of-lowest-ip-address-and-port-xored-with-elon-musk-latest-tweet-hash etc. In other words "mining" is equivalent to "computation" of any sort, which doesn't need to be intensive at all.

Many rental car companies actually do restrict where you can drive your car, for example, by forbidding off-roading, or from taking the car over state or country borders. Most restrict rental cars from being used for commercial purposes (meaning in this context, food deliveries or rideshare services).

If you want to treat your car however you like, you can buy a car and abuse it to your heart's content.
I think it's going to be more common than it is. Or, maybe its already super common and we just don't hear about it.

My reasoning is as follows: small products/companies have de-risked the initial PMF exploration, but aren't at a scale where they can hire specialists. Sure, maybe you can find a 10 hours / week data engineer who can build your analytics infra MVP. It's more likely you don't find someone good, IMO.

Building a portfolio of these means you can hire a specialist who can focus on the low hanging fruit of 3-4+ companies at a time. That's a huge advantage over the small companies.

I always hated the CenturyLink brand. It makes me think of covered wagons: "linking you to Internet access the way your grandpappy liked it."

Story time: I worked at a CLEC in the late 90s, and my entry there was in tech support. People would call in and literally scream at me that they couldn't get better that 26.4Kbps from their dialup even though they lived in a brand new subdivision full of expensive houses, so it was obviously due to our incompetence. I'd patiently explain that rather than running new lines to their new lots, SWB had installed a pair gain, and no modem was going to get decent connections through that beast. The sheer fury these customers would direct at SWB after I told them was an awesome and terrifying thing to behold.
