I think the caveat here is "battery powered electric aircraft." Fuel cells have much higher energy density IIRC.

It's not inconceivable that fuel cell electric planes could become a thing as well, especially if these early BEV show other benefits around maintainability, noise reduction, etc. I think its a long shot though, as jet fuel + carbon capture will probably be price competitive before fuel cell airliners become a thing.
History has never been kind to institutions when those institutions attempted to influence the distribution of information. It just shows how fragile and desperate those institutions are.
The concept seems pretty sound. You haven't mentioned how you are marketing to the hiring people. It sounds like marketing to the candidates has been successful, but that is only half the picture.
The obsession with physical data residence comes from the physical nature of government’s power: the ability to apply violence within its borders. The Indian government wants as much data (and encryption keys) inside Indian borders as possible because it can send in guys with guns to take it whenever they want.
It's clear it's a [D]esign system for [D]esigners when you go to the site and see things like Colors, Typography, Spacing, Tone, etc.

It's fine if things are targeted! I don't expect all my technical documentation to fully namespace all their ambiguous terms in case a non-engineer shows up. This site is for [D]esigners and that's cool.
I don't disagree, the past years have made me cynical about all big EU proposals :( But time and time again it has shown that proposals that actually would change things get watered down hard or shut down completely
> This post introduces Warp, a new Rust-based terminal

If one of the main selling points is the language used to implement it, then what do you really have? I propose that the preponderous of "x in y" indicates the death of innovation more than anything.
That, or the goal of "make blockbuster amounts of money" is a different goal than "make a successful tech company". There is certainly overlap in that Venn diagram, but they are not the same thing.
IT and Finance are just executing CEO's strategy and vision.
A lot depends on hiring - whether CEO/Board is capable of hiring competent CFO and CIO. WIth CFO it is easier, because finance has been around since money was invented and a lot of hard problems have been solved in finance and there is vast theoretical body of knowledge backing it up. a lot of it is straightforward.

with IT it is hard, because the field is changing rapidly and hiring a competent CIO/CTO is harder.

this is why CEO is critical, and he is ultimately responsible for the overall outcome
I’m no business expert, but this approach seems like a huge gamble to me. Why spend years building a project before the usefulness and public reception is quantified? I’d rather spend a hard few months building something that fails rather than an easy 6 years.
I agree that terminals have plenty of room for improvement, but this whole article feels like marketing fluff. My brain turned off in the middle of it.

I think you should have waited until you had a demo then did a show hn
>You need to believe and trust in science

Guess I'm a heretic then, because I do not believe.

With the argument it's to complicated to check one could justify believing in anything. Shouldn't people rather admit they don't actually know things in such cases? Someone who doesn't understand and only follows majority opinion doesn't add anything to the conversation, in fact it can be dangerous is they fall for charlatans.
Yes, check the homepage. The blog post is excellent bait though, bravo.

under virtually no circumstances should you actually ask a question

Its funny, as this advice is the opposite of the advice we got when doing engineering onboarding at Google in 2013. They told us that if we have a question in a meeting, go ahead and ask it. The reasoning is that its likely that many other people have the same question and will benefit from the answer, but were too shy to ask it themselves.

Different target audiences, I guess :)
This looks like a potentially cool project, but some of the marketing here is pretty off-putting. First of all the idea that the terminal is "on life support" is laughable, what tool is more universal? And

> Why doesn’t the terminal work like the rest of your apps? Developer tools have evolved towards reusability, composability, and collaboration.

Terminal workflows may be the single best tool in the first 2 of those 3 categories.

I won't disagree tha CVTs are crap, but they were an attempt for better gas mileage / carbon emissions reduction.

I have heard they are improving, but by the time they figure them out the ICE car will probably be utterly obsolete.
As an aside, I think there is a growing concern among politically active moderates in the US that the first amendment is the best we can do, and that more stringent protections couldn't be safely passed in today's hyper partisan environment. There is a sense, true or not, that 1791 had most lawmakers pulling for the same ultimate goal, of a healthy democracy, and that today that spirit has given way to red vs blue zero sum manuvering. So for practical purposes they treat it as the "law bible" - better than anything we could hope for today.
That country already has the power to force them to turn these keys over (or use the keys to decrypt data of interest). Every non-tax-haven country which regulates its financial sector does (so, every country). It's unclear what is added by forcing them to store data locally.
For such a footpath, I'd suggest to get a vest-style carrying harness for them.
May work to just have that come with a plug and throw it in a storage case/bag on the boat.

The cost of replacing a battery is about the same cost as a turboprop engine overhaul, and depending on the battery type and other details, it may occur less often.

Turboprop engines like the PT6 have a Time Between Overhauls of about 3000 hours, maybe longer. At 240 knots, that's 720,000 nautical miles between overhauls. If your electric aircraft has a range of 500 nautical miles and a 1500 cycle life, that's the same time. For an electric aircraft with a 900kWh battery like the Eviation Alice, and a cost per kWh of $170-$300/kWh, that's $150,000-300,000, the same as a turboprop engine overhaul.

Cycle lifes well beyond that are feasible, though, and battery costs are reducing over time.

The problem is that most of that is work, sometimes considerable work. However sometimes interruptions are impossible to avoid, and also you need to do some of that work anyway.

Generally you want at least the following two tools to handle it:

"interrupt shield" mechanism - it involves having a set time for answering interruptions, and if you have more than one person on the team, having them cover different time frames as the point of contact person.

Setting expectations about time frames for reaction etc and enforcing them. Which means not just making sure you answer on time, but also to ensure you don't unnecessarily overcommit. Do not create an expectation of jumping to it.
And for good reason, what the EU is asking here is deeply political (higher long-term taxes are always political) without any shade of legitimacy, for the simple reason that the EU was meant to be first and foremost an economical Union/treaty area, not a political one.

As a EU citizen I do hope things won’t progress any further in this political regard because that will be the death of the Union (I know I’ll be among the many protesting deeper political integration), blowing up the economic union which while not perfect had its distinct advantages. Hope someone puts some common sense into today’s EU politicians/technocrats, they seem not to notice that they’te driving us all over a cliff (because apparently Brexit didn’t mean anything to them).
Instead of calling them "bots", call them propagandists.

While of course doing a startup is very hard and subject to a lot of unknowable, uncontrollable factors I don’t think it’s quite as dire as a retail investor picking stocks. There’s no “efficient markets” for software products; it’s much more likely that you can spot and exploit an unmet business need near your domain expertise than that you have unique insight into Walmart’s quarterly earnings.

Have been doing development predominately in the terminal for the last 15 years... Have no idea what this guy is taking about...

IMO this is trying to fix something that isn't broken.
A lot of people recommend videos to get started. A lot of (as in most) recipes assume you know enough to tell when the stove is at an appropriate temperature, when a texture is "right," etc. Video isn't a panacea but written directions for many things tend to assume you kinda know at least the basics.

ATK's best recipes and maybe some of Alton Brown's books (though I'm less enthusiastic than some are) are probably better than most at breaking down the steps and the reason for doing certain things.
There is a company called Omega Quant that can give you a blood test which measures your O6 & O3 levels.

I did it and my ratio was 3.5:1 (O6:03), which is considered pretty good. I'm vegetarian and I don't eat much fish. I was only taking fish oil supplements (2g/day usually). The one thing I did do prior to the test was avoid consuming most vegetable/seed oils (except olive oil, which is actually fruit oil). These oils spike your O6 levels and are in practically everything, so you have to read ALL the nutrition labels even on things like bread.

Now I've started eating some fish (mackerel mostly, which I actually like) so maybe I will improve it further.
> The cycle repeats until a grown child decides to either consciously change this behavior with their own children, or distance themselves from their parent.

I've tried tutoring people in academic subjects I know really well. I find myself unable to explain what they're doing wrong because I cannot put myself in their shoes. Try teaching algebra or calculus to someone who doesn't get it, and let me know if your skills really help with that.
No, it is the question that is racist. The assumption that because of your ethnicity, you would have some kind of specific level of criminality. That is extremely racist.
Yeah, I suspect that is the logic, such as it is. Quite unburdened with an understanding of how trade works, and seemingly susceptible to the greater fool theory of trade - I'll do it because I'm so smart, but that guy over there won't, and my companies will reap benefits. Not for long.
I was hoping most of HN would be aware that this only applies to CSAM (in fact there is a clause in there that prohibits use outside CSAM detection) and doesn't affect a providers ability to just encrypt the users communications.

This legislation merely means if the provider has cleartext access, they can voluntarily scan for CSAM. This basically creates a loophole in the GDPR for CSAM processing with some protections for both users and the provider.

Sadly I was proven wrong, most commenters read the title, skip the content and then run off with US-based narratives about Snowden and PRISM or some other new noun that the conspiracy people use to scare people off their political platform.
Windows as a Service.

A nice idea for the users who can't run Windows on their M1 Macs, iPads, Android Tablets or old Windows PCs and laptops.

Don't be easily fooled. Microsoft will add a subscription fee for you to use Windows anywhere, just like Netflix or Stadia.
If we cared about the problem, yes, we could do it.
Your assumptions as presented in the article are somewhere between wrong and irrelevant. The rest of the article and what you are trying to build is somewhere between interesting and awesome. Maybe the introduction is something to revise, so it doesn't trip bs detectors?

> Developers work in teams, but terminals don’t support collaboration

Developers do not work in teams for the work they do in terminals.

> Developers rely on sharing knowledge, but all my terminal work disappears every time I close a session

It does not disappear, for every common configuration I'm aware of. The history persists.

> Developers work across machines, but my terminal environment is tethered to my computer

You use your terminal to connect to other machines. This is completely irrelevant and misleading for something you actually do on one machine.

> Developers are becoming accustomed to nice interfaces, but the terminal inflicts pain and makes me feel like an idiot when I try to do moderately complicated things

Are you trying to talk about shells here? The most complicated thing I do with terminals is to type text, which is the point and does nothing of the kind. Maybe there is a little truth in this when talking about copy/paste usually not working with CTRL+C/CTRL+V, but that's trivial.

This sounds awfully negative, sorry about that. But it's really the text that provokes that. The remainder of the article is better, included graphical auto-completion could be nice for discoverability (if it's better than what pressing tab already offers because of the descriptions). Chat in the terminal I would never want, but well, then I'm not the target.

On the contrary, the terminal is experiencing something of a renewal with people suddenly caring enough to try ZSH to the point where MacOS is now pushing it, Fish getting traction, and there was a new BASH release in '19.

> Does every step possible need to be taken to ensure that no data can be leaked ever? No.

Which person you're replying to demanded perfect security?

> This seems to be influenced by the belief that tech is some utopia where everything is solvable and the world will be a better place.

I am not the person you're replying to, but the claim has nothing to do with utopianism. It has to do with the claim that reasonable safeguards and auditing when dealing with sensitive data is possible, so that users can have (some degree of) confidence in the operation while workers go about their authorized jobs. This is hardly rocket surgery. Or novel.

What some people seem to be taking issue with is that their company might not trust them as much as they think they should be trusted. My advice to them would be to stay in small companies - if you're below the Dunbar number, you can personally evaluate each other and develop trust that way. In larger orgs, you need policy and enforcement, it is just how people are wired.
This crosses into many aspects of life:

I train Brazilian jiu jitsu and MMA. In our gym, we have a giant sign that says:

"A black belt is a white belt who refused to give up"

Basic translation: You can achieve the highest possible rank [Black belt] if you just keep showing up and enjoy the process.
It's necessary, but not sufficient.
In case it wasn’t clear, this is a marketing piece by a startup producing this as a product. As far as I can tell, the main features are:

1. Terminal commands and outputs are divided into blocks

2. Input is handled as a text editor

3. Multiuser collaboration tools

Despite the over-the-top marketing hyperbole, I'm curious. I’d really have to see this in practice to know how practical some of these features are. The great thing about traditional terminals is that the bugs and quirks were generally ironed out years ago. I’m hesitant to introduce anything into my workflow where I might spend a lot of timing fighting the tool or chasing tweaks to get things to work right.
> they’ll use a different chemistry than the standard Li-ion chemistries we have today.

I somewhat doubt it. The characteristics that make a good battery for a plane make a good battery for a car. I think the only place there's a difference is airlines are likely willing to spend more on batteries.
Back when people were predicting Microsoft porting Windows to the new ARM based Macs I thought this was a much more likely solution.
> At least the US legally allows companies (ie prevents government censorship) to choose what they moderate...

This directly conflicts with the following statement from the article itself.

> Twitter said in the report India was now the single largest source of all information requests from governments during the second half of 2020, overtaking the United States, which was second in the volume of requests.

This discussion _is_ about the US (but also other governments) censoring Twitter posts.

As far as the distinction between what is legal and what I think should be the case... I think this is illegal as the government is coercing censorship. It's certainly legal if Twitter censors itself.

As far as what I think should be the case... I don't think government should be anywhere near the public square, and I personally don't use these platforms. I'm doing what I can to move to more distributed platforms with better speech.

HN is pretty great, but I left reddit a while ago. If a private co censors too much for me, then I have the choice to leave.

If the government enforces censorship, then I'm toast.
Anyone get a weird feeling about Wendover? I used to think he was a decent authority until I watched his channel Half As Interesting.

Maybe he hires a writer, but his sarcastic joking nature comes off as extremely sincere and authoritative. This makes me question how solid his Wendover points are. He has a commanding voice and we believe him.
Point of information; certified autoland systems appeared on airliners in 1968. Yes, we're a ways off from the level of automation for a fully pilotless system as proposed here, but I think it a matter of a few years, perhaps a decade.

Many, many EU citizens can not afford Teslas or equivalently priced EVs. Even the electric version of the common VW Golf is 30-to-50% more expensive than its ICE counter-part (which is not that cheap, either).

>How about it gets encrypted same way in North Korea or South Korea. Which one would you prefer?

Whichever is cheaper and/or more reliable. If I trust encryption, all other answers are bogus.

>What if North Korea says it is properly encrypted and gov has no easy access, but we all know that could be just as well wrong?

In this scenario, I decide how to encrypt my data. The storage service is just dumb disk space for me to rent. Call it The People's Democratic B2. Otherwise, it's not really secure no matter who gives you assurances.
It’s about governments around the world which can only also include the US and municipalities bound by the US Constitution

So despite the audience here having a US centric perspective, I dont think your post about asking people to clarify legal vs feelings really helps move this discussion forward. Maybe slightly disambiguifies a US persons kneejerk response, but not really the topic.
Depends what it is. If it's something creative, this can become pretty much like writer's block. Ie. you know there's something you want or need to write, but it's such a huge task, it's hard to get down to it. This can lead to overindulgence in research and distractions.

One solution is to set yourself a goal to just do this one thing, to get started, and do that thing. No matter how bad, just make that draft, POC, whatever. Start breaking up things into smaller pieces, and set yourself to accomplish one piece at the time, no matter the state of results. Iterate on this to improve quality and scope, and keep your focus on the smaller, managable things, while getting more clear about the whole over time. If something is too much, just break it up.

Another take is how to manage your expectations and associations. If every time you visit the dog is to give it medicine, it'll become suspicious of you. So every time you visit your projects, make sure to leave room for some cuddle time, while making sure it's also supporting progress on that same thing. For very difficult goals, transform it into a spike and celebrate it no matter what the results. No matter what, you learned something new. You want to associate with progress.
In Norway jet fuel costs like 3 times less than gasoline due to absence of taxes. For these reason some amateur flight school use small planes with jet engines, like DA40NG, to get much lower operational costs. It can be even cheaper to fly such plane than drive a car.
Good point, I’m glossing over that part. I’d agree that this likely only happens in situations where there are ongoing tensions or worse. That’s definitely been the case with people I know. As a result, the exploration of childhood isn’t objective at all. It’s occurring within the frame of present conflict.

I’m sorry about your relationship with your dad. I have trouble with mine too, and it weighs on me at times. Relationships can be complicated.
In France, they're not refrigerated in stores, but at home, it depends from person to person. I think the fact that some refrigerators have some special compartments for eggs might have influenced people.
The title and opening paragraphs of this article are so aggravating and misguided I almost didn't make it to the end to find out about the interesting technology they have to talk about.

You shouldn't compare nuclear power to solar and wind but to gas, coal and oil.

> Not only are nuclear plants more costly to build and operate, but the nuclear waste is piling up and will need to be dealt with in some way eventually which will cost a significant amount of money.

You could just put it in a stable place and that's it. People seem to forget that the worst case with nuclear waste is that they "spill", doing exactly what the other fossile fuels are doing in the first place (poisoning everyne that's breathing them).

> If nuclear advocates had been more cautious and careful then public opinions would be more reasonable but that is not what happened and we have to be realistic and move forward now as quickly as possible with the tools we have.

I think it's mostly due to unreasonable people that always had an axe to grind against nuclear power for some reason, probably because of the intersection between ecologists and pacifists/people against nukes.
