I wonder if we can make Yelp for taxis. Open the app, scan the plate, check the reviews, if they're bad, go to the next taxi. But I guess dodgy taxi drivers would just buy new license plate (e.g. for their "own" private cars) and swap them - ok in a lot of jurisdictions taxi plates look different to normal car plates.

Or the taxi driver can be made aware of the bad reviews and they'd have to do a deal with the app user, e.g. a fixed price with a 20% discount, for a fair review. (Rough idea, there are probably bigger issues when you're dealing with crooked drivers).
What I'm saying is bullies gonna bully. With or without Facebook's help. The only thing that keeps it in check is everyone else. Facebook is undoubtedly part of the problem, but I don't see Facebook serving ads "how to more effectively troll", "go on, doxx your friends", "hound someone to suicide".

No, that's a case of problem existing between keyboard and chair independent of what websites are visited. You can argue Facebook makes it worse, but then you can't realistically stop there. Every platform does that doesn't moderate to some $subgroup's liking.

> ... I would guess that a manager I think of as excellent is at least 99.9%-ile. How to find such a manager is a long discussion that I might turn into another post.

Please do! A lot of discussions regarding workplace morale, both here on HN and elsewhere, seem to boil down to "your manager is very good/bad and that explains everything else you mentioned". I tend to agree; having a good manager can make a huge positive difference and having a bad manager a huge negative one. However, I'd be very interested in better ways to detect managerial quality upfront rather than when it is already too late.
My understanding is that the entire area is just brutal in general and Saddam was actually the least evil solution available at the time. He held it together through brutality, but he still apparently held it together, and now look at it.

I don't disagree.

If you have bad search, and search is a primary feature, then your ux sucks. I just don't think "just use google" is a viable alternative to making search good.

If you're making an online store, search is probably important, and a major determinant of how well the software works. The best way to handle that is with search that doesn't suck. It may be hard, but that's the job. Fair point that search is not trivial to do well, but that doesn't mean it isn't the job.

No, it is exactly as that guy said. Those transactions are illegal, you can't transfer money across borders without notifying authorities in most countries, and I am pretty sure you aren't notifying them when you do. If bitcoin ever becomes popular as a currency rather than just investment scheme then governments will come down hard on this and all transactions will get banned or made as inconvenient as bank transfers.

Trying to figure out how medical ultrasound works is a rabbit hole I'm still trying to claw my way out of. While there are phased arrays, most handheld imagers you would be familiar with are simply linear arrays of approx 100-150 transducer elements. While there is likely some simple phasing going on with adjacent elements firing together, a better model mental model for these would be the transducers firing one by one to produce a scan of individual beams. Before linear arrays, there was actually a single transducer that mechanically scanned back and forth to produce the same effect.

I moved to Amsterdam from NYC, and honestly the taxes are about the same, with NY city and state taxes taken into account.
I was against the Iraq war as well. It was clearly based on lies. It also lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.

What surprised me and I noticed then when Donald Rumsfeld died. Both Iraqi and Afghanistan have nearly doubled their populations since 2001:

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/iraq-populati...

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/afghanistan-p...

I wonder if that was partly resulting from the aid both of them got after the US invasions? Or just general population trends in Middle East countries? From my quick study it appears they have higher population growth than surrounding countries.

UIs provide far better discoverability than console. Color provides additional information density, plus allows images and video to be displayed in better fidelity.

The main thing VR provides is the ability to examine 3d objects. Considering that most of the content online (other than gaming) is 2D text, forms, images, and video, VR doesn't add much.

Look how 3D movies failed to catch on.

But, while Sandstorm is all about compartmentalizing access to data in a single server, having the document (grain) as its unit, Solid does this with multiple servers (called pods)

There's not been a study on it as far as I know (maybe there's some polls online, though?), if that's what you're hoping for. Obviously it's going to be largely anecdotal but it's not exactly just Apple bias. It's notable because the remarks about the trackpad often come from non-mac users who painfully concede that the trackpad experience on MacOS is better. One example I can think of is Linus from Linus Tech Tips always using a mac trackpad as the gold standard to compare against in his laptop reviews.

I have a condition which might be described as a "blind mind's eye". I don't see internal visuals, nor do I have audio recall. Either modes do not function voluntarally, nor involuntarily.

After discovering other people saw things in mind, and heard things in mind, I found it hard to believe the stories people told me, because I didn't understand how that could be possible. Over time, I grew to understand that none of us see or hear reality in exactly the same way and I accept (as a truth) that others see things in mind, or see reality slight differently than others.

Many probably experience a similar reality, but at the end of the day each of us must trust others through the language and stories they tell.

My license was suspended this summer for my failure to appear in court for a traffic infraction committed two hours away from me, by someone who clearly wasn’t me nor driving one of my vehicles.

Fortunately after hours of phone calls and weeks of waiting my record was cleared. I never got an answer as to how I became entangled, but losing your license is no joke. I was quite fortunate that everyone involved agreed it was a mixup; no lawyers in that county would take the case because they all had close connections to the prosecutor’s office.
The key is how necessary the complexity is. The existence of simpler alternatives to systemd (that work just as well to run a system with) prove that its complexity is unnecessary. For things like Web browsers, the complexity is necessary, for better or worse.
Such a great example of our "AI dystopian present", precisely because it's so absurd.

After all, it would have been trivial to require that a real person review the footage, but no, that would actually cost money.

It's the same reason it's nearly impossible to get in touch with a human at Google when something goes wrong with your account. We're trying to pretend AI/ML systems will make better decisions, and faster, but they always fail catastrophically at the edge cases in ways humans never do.
Basically, a role model for people NOT to role model to. Being a yes sir man with very little self opinions and assertions aren't exactly what we want our kids to aspire to.
They're smart about this. It's infrastructure lock-in but not at the API/application level, as they are trying to stay as close to "just JavaScript with browser API semantics" as possible. Deno is a project that does this too. If you know service workers and web workers you know Cloudflare Workers. If you know JS OO you know Durable Objects (to a degree).

Think about it, the huge influx of web developers that have been growing up on just using JS. Look at their docs too. It's all very accessible, modern, low friction stuff all while they are selling us their infrastructure. And they communicate in a technical, programmer friendly way as opposed to the business/marketing jargon that we are used to by some of the others.
This is the most baffling part for me too. Why can't they simply use a pre-paid card that they can scan to pay for their lunch. It's a simply problem with an even simpler solution.

This reeks of a scummy consulting firm overselling the school.
Once I was tripping. A very powerful marijuana cookie.

I was walking in a field. A few friendly disembodied voices chattering at me, about my life and such. I call them "spirits".

Terrible drymouth. Kept sipping from my canteen. It didn't help.

One of the spirits said, "you have drymouth, not because you are dehydrated, but because you injested marijuana. Chew on a blade of grass and that'll fix it".

So I plucked a blade of grass, put it in my mouth and chewed. That fixed the drymouth.
In the USA, the automated traffic cameras seem to be having a hard time in court, in some jurisdictions. Around here the State Representatives tell people to wipe their arse with "Violation Notices" they get mailed by companies claiming to have the authority of some barely extant town.

So they have a new wrinkle: put the automated photography kit in someone's car, and pay them to sit and observe the machinery operate. Somehow this is supposed to serve as the same basis of authority as a publicly sworn peace officer who will be obligated to appear in court.

I get that little towns have budget problems and Bubba's brother needs another bass boat, but setting the example of making up and attempting to enforce your own laws like this is a bigger can of worms than they wanted to open.
> Imagine updating a dependency or rewriting a function and suddenly your program is 10x slower.

That can already happen and will still be possible after constexpr. And it was always preventable by forcing evaluation of the variable in a CTE context, like in std::integral_constant. And you're missing the fact that an implicit constexpr with an explicit opt-out needn't behave any differently from one with explicit opt-in. Same semantics, just fewer keystrokes.

> constexpr is an interface guarantee

> Please answer the points I have brought up instead of simply referring to something I have already refuted.

You didn't actually refute it (though you tried), and I already did address them:

>> [2] Notice that seeing consteval here tells you absolutely nothing: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/bWzd4v6Y1

Replace consteval with constexpr and you'll see it told you absolutely nothing about bar()'s CTE'ability. Observe how the callee used constexpr and bar() failed to CTE despite being constexpr: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/odqbT7x9j

> You are going in circles...

Because you went in circles. I've directly addressed every single one of your points but then you looped back to ask the same question as you did in the beginning. Same questions, same answers.
Is that really the standard for calling someone a war criminal? National leaders always lie about the reasons for war, whether they are the attackers or the defenders.

No doubt that Colin Powell did the wrong thing when he lied to the UN, but let's not throw around the term "war criminal" to mean "someone who did the wrong thing."
Fair. Sandstorms technical ideas are well represented in Cloudflares product lineup now but not yet it's philosophy. Maybe some of that will change some day. I wasn't aware of Solid, going to check it out!
Well Powell had experience covering up a massacre during the Vietnam war, so it was all par for the course for him.
The only reason why you say he blew it at the end is because it was on public display. Perhaps his whole career progression was being a company man who followed orders blindly but we were never privy to it.

DC is a town that rewards failing upwards.
I have done both patterns.

Kafka has its use case. Databases have theirs. You can make a DB do what kafka does. But you also add in the programming overhead of getting the DB semantics correct to make an event system. When I see people saying 'lets put the DB into kafka' I make the exact same argument. You will spend more time making kafka act like a database and getting the semantics right. Kafka is more of a data/event transportation system. A DB is an at rest data store that lets you manipulate the data. Use them to their strengths or get crushed by weird edge cases.

Original title: "Colin Powell, military leader and first Black US secretary of state, dies after complications from Covid-19"

From the article:

The ongoing high profile, fatal breakthrough Covid-19 cases should not be underestimated. They are to be expected statistically, but taken individually continue to feed into the idea that "vaccines don't work" and conspiracy theories.

That Stanislaw Lem was a pseudonym for a collective of authors seems to have been fairly common belief. My mother read his books in the 60s and 70s (in the US), and according to her it was 'well known' at the time that the books where written by several people writing under a single pseudonym.
The only reason we knew who Colin Powell was is because he lied about My Lai. Lying about Iraq was the crowning achievement of a lifetime of being the kindly, authoritative black face parroting deceptive establishment narratives to the public.

How does that have anything to do with my point? I said that Safari has an advantage over Chrome on Apple hardware only because it has an integration advantage. Chrome is still faster on most other platforms... including non-Google ones, like Windows and Linux - which the majority of users use. That is impressive. Meanwhile, there is nothing special about a browser that does best on hardware made by the same developer as it.

Plus, both Firefox and Chrome have significantly more useful features than Safari on all platforms.

Safari only wins when you care about pure performance on specifically Apple hardware without concern for features or add-ons. Not commendable.

"Forward replay" was actually the mechanism that Tabletop Simulator originally used for its undo system.

It's not a great way to implement undo.

I think when you say it like this it makes a lot of sense. I'm not a JS dev, that's not my world, but I do understand building primitives for a given audience so if that's their target market makes sense. I just think as they try to battle AWS and explore wider demographics they're going to need to accept some of what that requires. CloudFlare isn't a slick brand like many of the startups around today in JS land. They're playing a different game as a public company so feels like wider adoption is going to require something more.

But saying that, I love when companies push the boundaries and CloudFlare are doing that. Conforming to the norms is just becoming another boring IBM like machine.
Amusingly, I really never enjoyed playing chess, but have always enjoyed Go.
