There's a second Oakland/SF bridge that doesn't exist. Well, I assume it would go to Oakland. It's marked with "???" and just says "Crossing". I presume that hypothetical bridge wouldn't have Yerba Buena Island to connect through, so would be really impressive and long (compared to the Golden Gate and Bay bridges).
Right. As soon as some form of curation occurs you're being suggested something. What the parent might be trying to say if I steel man it is that he's still making a choice between the options that he's being suggested. Which, yes he is, but you're still making a choice between suggested options. These things are not mutually exclusive.
>Yes, usually it still most be copied

I don't think this would be true for linux. since linux's page cache is unified across all mounted file systems, and with linux's tmpfs using the page cache directly for storing files, it doesn't make much sense that it would need to copy files for use.

if you formatted and mounted some other filesystem into the ram, sure. but tmpfs should avoid any such issue.

In short: it does not matter for a company that does not even have a profit and probably won‘t reach break-even soon. It‘s a waste of time to cut cloud-computing cost at that stage of the company.
perhaps you are misconstruing the proportions here?

I suspect the vast majority of the users plonk down after work to look for a show. they are tired and they don't want to put a lot of effort into selecting the show or even paying attention to it. the suggestion will do. and the billion dollar provider staffed by high end experts has the analytics to back that up.

Meanwhile the noisy minority of users are seen complaining loudly about this or that feature not catering directly to them.

*I'm not trying to say you are that noisy minority btw, I only mean to evaluate the suggested premise of your comment.
Yeah and there are some many other choices at this point. I think a perfect startup would be a streaming manager. It creates unique passwords and handles the billing through virtual cards. You pick 6 streaming services and the system just rotates you through them, handling all the billing and cancelations. Binge watch the last year to catch-up and move on. FOMO is the other reason people have 5 services today and without the water cooler, you aren't even really not up to date.
You might argue barbershops are better.

1. They are cheaper.

2. You get a haircut.

3. Community.

4. They are trained in the real world, and within the community they are serving.

5. The barber's incentives are aligned with yours. If they solve your problem, you're still a repeat customer. In the case of therapists and chiropractors, they are incentivized to manage your problem indefinitely or to find new problems.
> This is a wake up call for us to make free and open source Smart TV operating system so we can stop this tyranny.

Why does the TV have to be smart? Having the smarts integrated into the TV requires that 2 components be replaced if either no longer meets the user's needs.

Lets make a really nice large format display with no smarts or connectivity and then let the user choose an Apple TV, Roku, Fire, Android, or whatever.

> To me it is sufficient to beat the top 20% of drivers.

It's interesting that you set the threshold there (I presume you meant 'beat the bottom 80% of drivers'). Rationally, we should be happy if their driving performance is above average. I fear that the public (and the courts and the insurers, etc) will require airline levels of per-mile safety and still be wary.
The focus is there because race has been the descriptor of choice for generations to quickly, lazily and cruelly discriminate against minority groups, and the lasting effects haven't even been fully understood yet, let alone remedied to the point where we can just ignore what has and is still happening because of someone's skin color.

I haven't played Nethack in years (and I was always terrible at it), but I've read some about Nethack4 and how OG Nethack has been releasing some updates after many years of hiatus... so my question is, which Nethack do people play these days? after diving into DC:SS again for the first time in years and seeing all the changes, and playing the just-1.0'd Jupiter Hell a fair amount as well, I've been thinking about going back and revisiting Nethack again.

So what are you going to do with NFTs? :)
I think it all comes down to which platform you are using the app. I hear all the time that HBO Max is a junk app, yet I've had relatively no issues when comparing it to Peacock or Paramount apps. I happen to use an Apple TV 4k for all of the apps. Anecdotally, the people that have complained about the HBO Max app were not on the same device.

So maybe some devices get the B-team devs (but that's just not fair blame/description), or certain devices have a much more difficult environment to dev for or worse, they are trying to use a single "HTML5" JS app for multiple devices that's not as good as a native app for the device. I've been part of an app dev for a specific hardware device where they state HTML5 app, but then force you to use a specific set of JS libraries for that device. each device has it's own hardware limitations that may not treat certain JS the same as another.

Can't speak for the US, but in a UK city it wasn't exactly difficult to get the equivalent by ringing up at short notice (or indeed get one straight away by turning up at their city centre office, or spotting one illegally touting for business on the streets at pub closing time). Often they were cheap too. Even a phoneline which became an app attempting to aggregate the firms existed (I knew the guy who ran it... which is probably why I knew it existed!). All Uber brought to the party was VC money, the social expectation to award every driver 5 out of 5 and more aggressive surge pricing

> For example, you can't locally develop a VPN app until you ask Apple permission to develop a VPN app. Almost certainly this is to appease China, which I find particularly egregious.

Can't you manually add a vpn without an app? I haven't needed to configure this myself but presumably if you're bundling your own vpn app you can do the manual configuration in settings which is significantly easier.

It had terrible customer service when I used it years ago. I left them during one of the hard forks when they were playing around with just keeping the money from the fork and not returning it to customers. They did in the end but I switched to a wallet that actually lets you own the Bitcoin and can handle the forks, Conomi. Mycellium is also good. Coinbase has been crap for years and and I'm surprised ANYONE still uses them. Just check out their subreddit at any given time for customer service horror stories.
If you just want a car that drives itself on freeways, get a Tesla. Probably 80% of my car's 15,000 miles have been on autopilot. It automatically changes lanes to pass and automatically gets out of the passing lane afterwards. It takes offramps and interchanges. It automatically brakes for obstacles. It aborts lane changes if someone else gets in the way. It even works in rain and light snow.

Other car companies are a few years behind, but even something as simple as adaptive cruise control + lane centering is a huge help on freeways.
>I think it depends on who initiates the lock. If a company can choose to arbitrarily lock my device then inevitably it will be misused. In the case of phones it is usually the customer initiating a lock, either from Find My Phone style apps or through the carrier itself.

why does this matter? In either case the entity responsible for handling the lock request is the company itself.

> I'm thinking of something like cities could designate specific routes and lanes for L4 cars with designated drop-off locations

I always find it interesting that the further down the road of self-driving we go the more it seems like its a techy version of a known but morre low tech paradigm. This if taken without the self driving part just sounds like a bus lane with bus stops. In fact the driving of a car would be a less efficient mode of transportation considering that they usually only carry one person at a time.

I used to be very pro self-driving cars, but tthte moree I explored urbanism and transportation the more it became apparent that, self-driving is over optimization of an already bad paradigm that is car-centric development. You could cut out the middle man of needing a self driving car if you didn't live far away from the things you needed or if the public transit was efficient and reliable, that seems way easier than trying to figure out how to make cars drive themselves!

Nothing pops out aside from crypto, to me, like you said.

But for anyone passing by, crypto assets are like 20 distinct sectors and ever expanding, with many solutions and competing services providers in each sector. HN typically gets stuck on surface level arguments such as limitations in the "currency" concept and the merchant use sector. It also gets reliable stuck on environmental impact, as well as surface level use of NFTs. Solutions providers in oracles, insurance, IOT, yield farming, yield farming aggregators, SaaS products (information, tax), marketplaces and many more entire sectors are almost completely ignored. All alpha bets.

Nothing! You’re literally describing intersectionality. Other than you don’t like the terms black and white for some reason as things that are part of people’s lives we’re saying the exact same thing.

A black kid who grows up rich and goes to an Ivy League school still will still have the conversation with their parents about being black to explain why the other kids treat them differently or why they get stares in convenience stores.

Class has more of an effect on your day-to-day life than race. Sure. Fine. But your race is still a part of who you are and affects how you’re treated at all incomes which is the point. Like Jesus, Obama is rich AF and was the most powerful man on earth and his blackness was front and center his whole political career. There is no way a white political figure would have to deal with his haters posting bad photoshops of him in tribal garb where the whole thing is that he’s a scary foreign African. They might have to deal with other bullshit but not that which is the point.

Even in that situation, timeshares are a bad idea. When you own a timeshare, you are obliged to pay fees to the timeshare company (like an HOA). Since it's not rent, you can't just stop paying those fees. You have to find some sucker to buy your timeshare from you to get off the hook. This is why if you check government property tax auctions they're full of timeshares, and why you can easily find people who will pay you to take their timeshare off their hands. It's nothing but an indefinite liability.
