Now we need one in support of making texting while driving a DUI-level offense, with the same penalties.

Texting while driving is arguably worse than drunk driving. Alcohol impairs your judgment, whereas people texting are presumably sober with full faculties and yet decide to endanger and steal from everyone else.
You’re vastly overestimating the quantity of high talent internationally. Take a look at the proportion of Colombia’s students that can answer these math problems:

https://www.oecd.org/pisa/test-2012/form/

For example, 25% of Americans could solve problem 4, and 39% of Canadians, but only 2% of Colombians. (But 8% of Chileans, 15% of Serbians, 21% of Croatians.) Problem 5 is USA 9% to Colombia ~0% (Chile 2%). Problem 6, Taiwan is at 18%, USA 2%.

Colombia’s IMO team, drawn from its 50 million people, also gets trounced by Mongolia, population 6 million. And Mongolia isn’t just poor and polluted, half of that 6 million are horses. Only 3.3 million Mongolians are human.

Taking the 25% vs. 2% comparison, we could say Colombia’s quality-weighted population is effectively 50 million divided by 12.5, so it’s effectively a 4 million person country, measured in Americans.

I would like to point out that stealing focus is part of the browser implementation. I don't think anyone would object to less stuff (if anything) stealing focus.

If the problem is "this functionality steals focus", how about making it not steal focus rather than removing it entirely on short notice? Why don't the Chrome developers focus on fixing their browser?
What would you say the point was? To take an interest in and honor the person who died? or to single out the most appalling detail in order to intensify rage?

ID requirements are draconian, but they are a straightforward reaction to the anti-vax reality-denying hysteria. As a libertarian, this whole saga has been a double punch. When people throw out "freedom" as a justification for their terrible (and ultimately herd-following) decisions, it maligns and undermines the concept itself. And it lets the authoritarians step in and take credit for what should have been common sense.

Drawing a parallel with a different topic - while I believe that drugs shouldn't be illegal, that doesn't mean I would support my friends being junkies. And I certainly wouldn't encourage people to become junkies just to spite the current unjust laws.
Yes, and yet people were still caught off guard. Which is in some ways even worse to me, because what were they doing for those 2 years?

When someone maintains the largest browser in the world, and almost every public website in the entire world relies on maintaining compatibility with that browser, then the standards for reaching out about breaking changes are a lot higher. The amount of time is only one aspect of this, the other is making sure that people actually understand the change is happening.

That is of course, a wildly difficult problem. But while I'm sympathetic to the sheer difficulty of getting people's attention at that scale, I also feel that nobody is forcing the Chrome team to own the entire web. If they're going to be in that position, then they need to act like they're in that position.

At the very least, what internal studies were done over those 2 years to check and see which sites would be broken? How did they miss services like Repl.it during those studies?

My frustration with the Chrome dev team is that they handle feature changes and testing as if they're managing some kind of niche Open Source project, when in reality they are maintaining one of the most important pieces of software in the world. They're not Arch, they're not in a position where they can reasonably dismiss people who get caught by breaking changes because they aren't following the release notes. At the scale of Chrome it becomes their job to make sure website maintainers know about future changes and that nothing breaks.

>I'm sure if I'd planned to work at a grocery store until I was 40, the union would have been of great benefit

This is an important point to consider, the malfeasance (which is a feature of poorly-run enterprises of all kinds, and not particular to nor characteristic of all unions) aside. Some people DO intend to continuously work jobs that are menial, but basic and necessary to the functioning of a community. The American economy has changed much in the past 50 years, 100 years, 150 years. Wrt your example, one thing has not: the necessity of human labor in the "last mile" of distributing food to consumers. That is to say, it has been possible for several generations to spend one's entire productive life in a such a role. Note here that we're not talking about protecting inefficient businesses or even specific jobs; we're talking about protecting the people who are happy to fill a necessary role without moving "up or out." We shouldn't have a problem with that in a country where we cut individuals - not their businesses - millions in tax credits. And in regards to change in the business environment as economies and technologies evolve: much as techies are loathe to admit it, successful and healthy change must happen on a human scale, without leaving people behind. Unions help to avoid the socialization of the costs of abrupt change.
We've seen people use background revalidation to great effect, particularly in front of S3. You can get pretty close to one stale request per cache entry this way. And if-modified-since requests are really cheap.

IMO I think your hiring is broken. You should look for things like willingness to learn and ask about previous jobs to see if the candidate experience stagnation. Is your company really getting a decent ROI after only 2-3 years of an employee in a specific role??
One moderately windy day when cycling, I encountered a bird that I concluded was practising precision soaring and simply enjoying itself. It was constantly adjusting its posture as necessary so that it could hover roughly in-place, with just the occasional flap needed. Then after maybe a minute it’d abruptly change position by a few metres in any direction, and start hovering again. I watched it for more than five minutes before it flew away.

I also remember another time watching a sparrow land on a wire fence backwards in a fairly strong wind: it flew with the wind towards the fence, then turned around in mid-air a metre or two before it reached the fence, was blown the rest of the way and landed neatly.

Depends on the market. If I wanted to tinker I wouldn’t buy this. If I wanted to build a white labeled product quickly without having to even think about sourcing hardware and worrying about updating their firmware etc, this would be extremely attractive as it brings the time to market way down.

Honestly I always thought it was weird that popping up a native browser dialog was even a feature offered by browser JavaScript APIs in the first place.

Isn't the DOM the API for controlling anything visual?

If that feature never existed and someone proposed it today there's no way it would get added.
>I've seen the same thing. It makes no sense. I keep telling myself the incentives can't really be such that your hiring process be actively antagonistic...not if we want anything good right?

Dating and marriage is the one place where people are allowed to be racist. My wife wanted to marry someone of her race; I didn’t care. Both are fine. If a business owner doesn’t want to hire a certain race I’d say “get over yourself or get shut down.” With marriage I would never tell someone who is racist to marry someone he or she dislikes, have kids with them, and spend the rest of their lives with them.

Am not missing anything, am well aware of when terms moved from lingua franca for insiders that work in the industry, to common vernacular for the general public. Those are two completely different things.

Of course, Watts is talking as an insider. He is not Everyman Joe listening to broadcast news. He has been exposed to all the terms.

The public branding has changed, and also, so has it too for the industry that is the key data producers. The producers of the data have moved terms also. And, I think that is interesting.

Just because you say something is a myth, and a partisan fact checker say it is, does not make it so.

If something gets posted to Quora, or another question site, it is likely that something is an open question. I am not the only one to ask this.

Good science is about asking questions, hypotheses, predictions, falsification, data gathering, theory development, observations, and iteration repeatedly. Data crunching comes in particularly handy for this. Data is not inherently partisan, nor is asking tough questions. That is science as a process.

I noticed you are not responding to any of the comments I have made regarding the actual observing systems (HCN, ASOS, etc). So, to bring up things likes discrepancies between things like HCN data and remote observing system data would be overkill.

I think you want to have a political/ideological debate and I am not on HN to do that.

First they can update codes so that nothing can be rebuilt in a significant portion of the city. Then they can condemn buildings that aren't up-to code after a certain point.

Key difference: you deploy a soda can robot in a factory. You have an enclosed environment with all of your inputs nicely set up.

I sometimes use Ctrl+G (Find Again) to get around sites hijacking / or Ctrl+F when I want to use the browser’s search functionality: if the current search doesn’t match anything or if there is nothing to search for, then it opens the browser’s find bar. If that was hijacked too, you could still focus browser chrome (e.g. Ctrl+L, Ctrl+K, Alt+D and sometimes even others to focus the address/search bar) and then press Ctrl+F.
You're saying that a belief that has near total consensus among the experts is "simply false". You clearly haven't examined the evidence on rent control, and are simply making assumptions to avoid having to contend with the possibility that your preconceived notion is wrong.

>>Why do you think there's so much resistance in Europe towards market based rents if they think it will actually lower their rents?

1. Because economics is a difficult subject to understand, made all the more difficult by the multitude of special interests who need to discredit economics in order to rationalize the anti-free-market impositions that provide them with rent-seeking opportunities like subsidies and artificially suppressed rent.

2. Because people who already have rent-controlled units in high-demand cities don't want to give up their privilege for the benefit of the people of the nation at large, who, by virtue of rent control starving the housing sector of the capital to build more units in those cities, miss out on the opportunity to find a unit in the high-demand cities.

>>Should people be thrown out of their apartment they've lived in their whole life just because the property owner can find someone wealthier that's willing to pay more?

YES! They're renters. If they want the stability of not having to ever worry about housing costs increasing, they need to buy their own units. They can't rent, and then expect the stability of being an owner.

We need to be giving housing in the highest-in-demand localities to the people who can make the best use of it economically, which would be those who are willing and able to pay the most for it.

We also need to be giving investors the incentive to invest in new housing in these highest-in-demand localities so that more people can live in them, and that requires allowing rental rates to reflect the supply/demand dynamics. This is basic economics.
Correct. That's probably actually why it took so long to detect the malicious packages: when the got installed on machines running internal services, nothing much unexpected happened. Come to think of it, I actually don't remember how the packages were detected and identified to begin with.
There are 1.86 billion websites online right now, many more that used to be online, and over 1.2 million TB data. Probably a lot of it is generic content or machine-generated, but I wonder how many unique, weird sites there are like this.

> They should have just had the search field focused automatically

No, this would be extremely wrong: it’d open on-screen keyboards automatically on platforms that use them, mess with screen readers by dropping them in the search box rather than at the head of the page, and break keyboard functionality, most significantly things like arrow keys and Space for in-page navigation.

The autofocus attribute sometimes seems like a good idea, but it’s actually almost never desirable.
Alternately, The problem may be that human labor is "cheap" for the activities which still require brick laying and in cases where it's "expensive" alternate materials can be used.

In order to make automation economically viable there would need to be a niche for "cheap" brick powered by automation. It's unclear to me that this niche exists and can't be similarly achieved by scaling up the blocks or switching to more labor efficient building materials.

I read the other replies explaining that the huge discrepancy you’ve seen should be expected. But I think it’s worth pondering if your shock & jealousy should be tempered by the ML thing. ML engineers make more than general software engineers everywhere. At least they did for a while between roughly 2015 and 2020. I don’t know what’s happening up to the minute, but ML hiring and crazy salaries seems to be cooling off a bit now as far as I can tell. Also did the ML guy have an advanced degree that your long-timer friends didn’t? That’s another way to start higher.

For as fundamental and important as encryption-in-transit is, it's always baffled me that there isn't a simpler, easier solution to accomplishing it on private networks. Everyone knows its important, and everyone wants to do it, but it's just such a pain in the ass and so prone to error that even some top security leaders will tell you not to bother because it's such a footgun.

We really need something to help make the process simpler, like how Let's Encrypt made public HTTPS so much easier to do for even the smallest of websites.
Ugly and limiting as they may be, I find standard UI widgets quite easy to leverage as a dev and as a user.

I totally see/hear your position, and mostly feel the same way.

Devil's advocate asks, what about the skill of the devs that can automate that kind of stuff? The types of things that might be learned in building articulating robotically controlled apendages to pick tomatoes without crushing them or the entire plants, the skill of a robot to cook the perfect burger to the perfect temp, etc. It would be impressive.
