But in practice it’s still extremely rare to encounter them day-to-day. For example Switzerland is very high but almost all guns are given by the state during military service and are kept locked away in case of invasion. Bullets are illegal.

The totals looks similar but in practice the situation with weapons is extremely different. You have basically no chance to encounter an armed person in the street.
robots use email systems so they can get "free" way to send their stuff. I also work for e-mail company and this is very big problem to us. Sadly recaptcha before and cloudflare captcha now are one of the irreplaceable tools to fight with spammers for us...
Yes, that's well known. The game in question had about 15 mins of total time, as it _wouldn't run_ on my system.

So, not even close to the threshold. Still, they just kept rejecting it with some form-letter-like excuse (eg no actual conversation), and that's the end of the matter each time. No appeal, etc.

No, because it depends on the executioner's intention.
I'm going out on a limb, and I'm gonna say Ive designed it. If he only left 2 years ago, it makes perfect sense that he would have designed the chassis and general LAF of the device before passing it down to the engineers. In any case, it's equally as disappointing as the rest of Ive's "innovations".

I was referring specifically to the Sprague that was used in the Journée de la Patrimoine (which was sadly banned post 2010 I believe). It was well hidden, but then got trashed a few times with 'low effort' painters (throwing of paint over it, or quick chrome throwups as opposed to decent panels)

Couldn't understand if this specific one was "spared" for so long because it was well hidden, or because most painters considered it "too nice" to paint (or pointless, as it was rarely in service..)

The other ones (Monceau, etc) were obviously well and truly rinsed.

There's a few nice examples of preserved rolling stock in the RATP's "secret warehouse", but they only kept the head and trashed the wagons.

At least LinkedIn (the company) got over their initial love affair with video. There was a time when my LinkedIn feed was 80% videos of people sitting in their cars over-sharing directly to the camera… because that is what “the algorithm” wanted most to promote. I basically avoided LinkedIn for months (maybe years? can’t remember) as that was going on.

But yeah. Even without the videos, the LinkedIn timeline is a pretty soulless place.
what bothers me is the normalization of collecting this data in the first place.

In all fairness, they never called you an idiot. You just happen to choose the same computers that idiots do, which is more of a coincidence than an insult.

I lost my wife in February. We knew it was coming and were able to say goodbye. It doesn't hurt any less.

My wife left me an article series to read, in print, but it's also online, and it has proved helpful over and over again especially when I am in the deepest throes of agony. I hope it helps you and your wife:

I have been working on this problem for a little while. I don't think the issue is that Excel is inherently worse for data wrangling -- it just isn't scalable or easily traceable. My solution is a spreadsheet extension for Jupyter Notebooks, that lets you transform your data visually and outputs the equivalent Pandas.

Website, for any interested: http://trymito.io/

Automated data prep/transformation is definitely a useful solution, and obviously is going to be a part of most data wrangling tools in the future. I think the danger is a lack of visibility and tracing, something a combo between spreadsheets and pandas provides well -- I think :)
come on, there's no conspiracy going on, what you're calling 'the left' is probably rooted in empathy for others (which spirals into things the gov can do, e.g., provide resources, perform more functions/expand, etc.) - while there's a definite need for balance and consideration of what the gov should be responsible for/pay with via public funds, there again, isn't a 'targeting' of anyone
Was aware that was the process before flew, and was really quick and went thru the line and customs quicker than I did returning into my home country in the UK.

That said, I'm sure if I'd been singled out for a rubber glove inspection - my perspective of the whole experience would of been much different. Though I'm mindful that the whole security/customs process can put people off flying more than the whole worry of being in the air as was the mainstream worry for most decades ago.
Ask HN: What do you do on your devices, on your own time?
I've been kind of burned out/out of ideas for a long time. I just find myself listening to old podcasts I've already heard and opening and closing HN's front page. 20 times in a hour.

So I have a bit of a personal question for you all, to maybe help me (and perhaps others) have ideas on what to actually use my devices for.. what do you actually use your laptop/desktop for? Separately, what do you do with your phone? How do you determine when to use which?

>> One of the things that learning Russian clears up is why they sound so angry to English ears.

Funny. To me (I'm Greek) Russians sound like they're always complaining about something. It's Germans that sound angry.

Edit: I wonder what Greek sounds like to foreign ears. The closes I've come to understanding it is hearing Spanish people talk, who sound a lot like Greek -that I don't understand.
Off the top of my head, it would have the tone of Facebook before they allowed public accounts outside of schools and right after they introduced news feed, it would be aggressively moderated, and it would cost enough money per month that people would think twice before engaging in a behavior that led to an account getting banned or using bots. There would be an initial setup fee of at least $100 along with a monthly subscription fee, and getting an account banned would result in a total loss of your payments and deletion of your profile.

* Users would explicitly agree that their profile posts are subject to moderation.

* Profiles would be private and users would be heavily discouraged from using a real name. Friending someone else would require an out of band secret key exchange. A new key would be required to add each person to a group and the entire group would be informed when a new user was added. The only people with real visibility would be the mods.

* There would be no advertising or tracking.

* The service would be located in a country that doesn't immediately bend over for Five Eyes, China, or Russia.

* There would be no org pages or corp accounts.

* Anyone holding public office, running for public office, or affiliated with a political campaign would be explicitly banned from using it at the EULA level. Group pages with more than X members would automatically be flagged for periodic review, and obvious attempts at political organizing for a campaign or movement such as BLM or the Proud Boys (chosen purely as examples of political movements) would result in a ban for all affiliated accounts.

* Egregious (as in obviously intentionally hostile rather than ignorant or inadvertent) racism, sexism, bigotry, etc would result in a ban.

* Any attempt at bullying would result in an immediate ban.

* Any attempt at bulk data collection would result in your account being suspended and flagged for review.

You get the idea. Social networks should be about sharing fun content with your real life social network. They should not be about self promotion, BS drama, politics, disinformation campaigns, advertising, influencing, branding, etc.

"In thirty years America will be a post-industrial society with a per capita income of $ 7,500. There will be only four work days a week of seven hours per day. The year will be comprised of 39 work weeks and 13 weeks of vacation. With weekends and holidays this makes 147 work days a year and 218 free days. All this within a single generation."

> In a short time we'll read a statement -- released on a Friday afternoon -- stating the EOL for blocking webRequest

Good grief, only the HN Mozilla-haters could take an announcement that plainly says that they are keeping webRequest and read it as the opposite.

Think about this for a minute, they are in the midst of a gigantic engineering project where the cost of keeping blocking webRequest functional is certainly significant. If there was any reluctance to keep this capability around, this would be the time to stop supporting it.

You may disagree with decisions folks at Mozilla have made in the past but if you think they're careless enough to invest significant time and energy now to port webRequest to work with all the other changes described in this article, only to kill it shortly afterward, you're simply not being rational.
If you're good enough you can pretty much dictate your working conditions. But it's bad advice for most people. I've seen plenty of mediocre devs take this kind of advice, and it's sad/embarrassing to see. Anyone who's decent figures out that they can cut corners at their first job. 90% of the devs I've worked with (conservatively) should never cut corners and should've been putting in more hours to become adequate. Most feel-good self-help advice like this is worse than useless, it's harmful to anybody who finds it novel.
> Ford has quite wisely chosen to let the battery experts make the batteries for them, and is using scale to drive down the costs of their batteries below what Tesla can achieve through vertical integration.

So did Tesla for 15 years and in that time they build a huge amount of knowledge and worked together with Panasonic on improving their cells. They learned a huge amount, hired many experts, bought a number of technology companies and are bringing things to production that literally nobody else has managed yet. They actually did the hard work of bringing university ideas into mass production.

Your claim that Tesla simply can not achieve the lower prices is your assumption that is based on nothing. Not having to pay for the profit of the cell maker alone is a huge part of the cost.

Ford has to buy on the very contested open market because their former CEO failed to set up a partnership. So in fact its very likely that they pay some of the highest amount by any of the major car manufactures. And of course so far they are a tiny part of the market while Tesla is by far the market leader.

Tesla simply buys far, far higher volume then Ford and will continue to do so.

> Moreover, by not competing with the battery makers, Ford can always choose the best battery available when it comes time to sign new contracts, and isn't stuck with whatever technology their CEO is promoting on Twitter.

Tesla is continuing to buy lots of cells from battery makers and they will continue to increase that. Tesla is the largest costumers of 2 of the 3 largest battery makers in the world.

The idea that Ford who has tiny volume will somehow get better prices then Tesla is nonsense. Tesla also has long term supply contracts for the raw materials that they locked in years ago while Ford is fully exposed to the raising market in raw materials.

> I'm part of the crowd of people who would use it. And I talk to people, online and off, in the hiking, trail running, mountain biking, and aquatics, and off-roading communities. The interest in the Lightning in these groups is huge. People even cancelled their orders for Subarus when the Lightning dropped. In contrast, the Cybertruck is viewed as a joke: a truck that can't be used for hauling, can't be used for work, and can't be used for any outdoor activities; in short, a truck that can't be used as a truck unless you think a truck just sits in a driveway or a parking spot.

So here is my problem with your argument. You simply say thing, based on literally wrong facts. Tesla Cybertruck has significantly better performance for hauling, loading and range at the same price. And a far, far higher top level specs. If you seriously want to haul something long distance the top range CB is far beyond anything the F-150 can do.

Its absolutely simply wrong to claim the CB can be used for outdoor activities or work. Like, this is just an opinion that you have that you have absolutely no factual bases for.

Talking to people who are not equally not informed and have formed their opinion on pictures and maybe a few confused news articles is simply not a valid source of information.
>possibly that the entire Communist apparatus of control might crumble amid intense public anger.

I am ignorant of Chinese attitudes toward their government, but why would this be one of the effects? China officially had few cases and deaths from covid-19. They were heavy handedly effective at stopping it from gaining traction. Why would a lie about the origin cause Chinese citizens to rise up?
I'm not the most "organized" or "sophisticated" developer (I mainly code for fun or basic research related experiments), and I mainly do everything from my m1 MacBook Air. If I need to test something that will need more hardware, I fire up my desktop.

Edit: Also, the M1 has a lot of surprising performance. I can run two 4k 30fps cameras off of it, display to a 4k monitor, and stream the video to another computer. My 2017 MBP struggled with this much.
What does a wuhan pandemic caused by wet-markets mean? Apparently it means wet markets across China reopen after a brief shutdown with out a word from global media and political leaders.

I just lost my 17 year old kid brother this year. He was the passenger in a car that got hit by a charter bus. He died on impact. I never got to say goodbye. I’ve lost grandparents and friends before, but I have never felt pain this intense before.

This is also the most alone I have ever felt. Even surrounded by my huge family I felt alone in my pain. I consider myself extremely lucky, I have an incredible wife and loving families from both of us, and yet the grief has left me feeling isolated.

One thing I have thought about a lot is an analogy someone shared with me. They said that when we lose a loved one, we are given a box. In that box, is a ball and a button. Every time that ball touches the button, we feel pain. When the loss happens, the ball fills the box and is constantly pressing the button. The pain seems inescapable. Over time, the ball gets slightly smaller. It still will press on the button, but maybe not as often. The pain doesn’t change and it is always there waiting to be triggered, but as time goes on it may happen less.

We carry that box for the rest of our lives I guess. I still don’t know if there will ever be a day I don’t miss my amazing brother so much it hurts.

I guess I don’t really have much advice for how to deal with the pain. But it has been helpful for me to read your and other's posts on here. Thank you.
Nothing.

Because we Americans funded the lab. So the combined propaganda power of both the CCP and the USA will make this a non-issue.

Everybody is also going to think I'm nuts - but we should be very very thankful that the first airplane tranported pandemic was so mild.

It's prepared us for something that could be vastly worse.
It is remarkable how much space xcode + Android studio eat of 256gb. Especially given that a 1TB SSD costs what, $100 at consumer prices?
I don't have aftermarket pipes - but your post is clearly from perspective of someone who doesn't ride. Sound is an essential part of the riding thrill, riding my bike past 10k RPM gives me F1 sound and insane rush. I suspect riding an electric motorcycle would be much less thrilling that way and make me more aware that I'm on a suicide machine.

I regularly get small children approach me on motorcycle and want to pull the throttle, then get scared, then want to do it again, there's something primal about that, it's (mostly) not about other people.
The meta to this is that even without an employer you are doomed to be an "entrepreneur of the self." The employer/employee relationship has essentially been internalized to the extent that we are always exploiting ourselves to one degree or another.
I completely agree road rage is a terrible thing; I agree we are all responsible for our own behaviour; and as drivers we should not allow such things get to us.

But a needlessly loud motorcycle, particularly the kinds that "detonate/explode" on shifts/off-gas, will make me jump and annoy no matter what I'm doing - reading a book, having a coffee, mowing the lawn, going for a walk, playing with my kid, whatever... especially since unlike some similarly annoying sounds (Snoring, anyone :P), it is 100% purely intentional. This rider went out of their way to make it such, knowingly and willingly they spent money time & effort.
> Both companies attempts to diversify their dependency on such info for their revenue have been broadly unsuccessful (Google fiber or a Google car anyone?)

IMO, you're wrong on this one. Things like Google fiber/car are not ways to diversify Google's revenue.

They are just more tools in their arsenal to keep collecting more data on users and improving their ads.

By offering things like Google fiber, they ensure more people get online and that's more data they can collect.

Same with FB. Terragraph and Aquila are/were just ways to get people online so more data can be collected and fed into "the machine"
In my life, the most clear & obvious example of negative externalities is loud vehicles. I'm saying this as someone who would cut 90% of regulation: but I think anyone on a public street with a vehicle louder than a UPS truck should get fine. Enforced by a camera and microphone array.
Top heavy, steep rake, 200kg+ sport bikes are completely unridable in a city no matter what the torque control is.
We went from households where everyone worked 12+ hours a day, to a tiny chunk of the world population could get by with a single income household, to a dual-income system. Mid-century America was an anomaly.

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be a goal to have no/one income households; sounds great for QOL, but let’s not ignore the bulk of history & humanity.
Maybe some at Tesla know that FSD will not happen before these models end up on the scrap yard. ~7 years and most of these are either totalled or need costly rapairs.
I've had many great internal transfers. You need to dig into their CLs, bugs, docs, and (yes) perf and have a couple of fit interviews first. You don't get that kind of signal from external candidates. With external hires though much of that ground work is essentially shouldered by recruiting, the interviewers, and hiring committee.

I fully appreciate that it's no fun for anyone to manage that kind of a situation, but the strategy I use is to just be really frank with the employee. Their attitude is a net negative to the team and if you don't see that changing they're not going to meet expectations.

Assuming* that scenario were to play out, it would be such a painful irony for an influencer to encourage their followers to harass an ordinary stranger under the accusation of the stranger being a "bully", of all things.

Perhaps, but… I suspect that rent[0] is related to how much “spare” money people have, and that land prices (and the land component of house and apartment prices) are related to rent potential, so a substantial reduction of working hours may merely reduce those costs.

I recently had to restore from an iCloud backup that contains all my messages (which I never and will never delete) and it took over 24 hours to restore them.

The restore daemon actually downloads every single image and attachment you’ve ever sent or received one file at a time.

Not that I can scroll back that far, but you never know when you need to search for something.
At least they're finally starting to segment again.

The iMac is a non-pro device. In the living room, or in the office for general purpose computing. The ethernet in the powerbrick is super smart.

The iMac/Mac/MacBook Pro will probably have better port configurations. Although I doubt there will be an option to "sideload" usb haha
>Bear in mind researchers in Wuhan were combining snippets from strains of bat coronaviruses to increase virulence, injecting viruses into “humanised” mice, testing how diseases can jump the species barrier and creating chimeric diseases using cloning techniques that show no sign of human manipulation.

Can someone explain to me in layperson's terms what the purpose of this is, and why the risk of a global pandemic with millions of deaths is outweighed by its value?
It doesn't export attached files if you have those. Didn't tell me that either (though it was over a year ago now).
That isn’t really a counterpoint. If you have to assiduously pick through a thousand connections to prevent a tide of spam from taking over your feed, it’s not a very useful tool.
