> Note that whether you have a solid green or a green arrow matters. A solid green means you can turn left, but you might have cross traffic. A green arrow means you're protected and as long as other people are obeying traffic signals, you shouldn't run into other people.

This is the same in the southeast, and I assume the rest of the US.

Recently "flashing yellow" [1,2,3] has been introduced to mean left turns must yield to right of way traffic. These are gradually replacing solid green signals.

Don't really know how accurate this is, but I remember reading about some resolvers ignoring too low TTLs.
>But I'm talking to the assumption that paying rent is throwing away money, while buying a house is not throwing money away.

Compare paying someone $3k a month to use their asset vs paying a bank ~$3k (probably less) a month while owning that same appreciating asset. When renting, that $3k is gone, a guaranteed loss. With buying, it goes into an asset you can later sell, hopefully at a higher price. Alternatively you can keep it and not have to pay mortgage or rent once it's paid off and still have a place to live. You can also borrow off whatever equity you've built up. Also that mortgage payment is locked in, so you aren't subject to the landlord raising rent after your contract expires in a couple of years.

It's a big investment that you also get to live in. You could lose money on it, but it's unlikely in most populated places, and you will most likely lose less than what you would otherwise pay in rent.

Just make sure you buy in an area / state that isn't shrinking.
That argument might hold water if you hadn't been using HN exclusively to promote your own stuff. That's not what HN is supposed to be for, as the guidelines make clear.

If you care about interesting discussions, the way to show that is to contribute stories that are just interesting without having any promotional angle. If you do that, then it's great to share your own stuff occasionally as part of the mix. That's the way to be a good community contributor.

I don't mean to be mean, but it feels pretty important to reiterate the values of the site.
Solidity is an awful language, and Ethereum a crappy constrained system (its a block chain, so is to be expected to a degree), that I'm not surprised there is a shortage of people opting for not very special salaries.

Rust on Solana sounds promising, although I believe (could be wrong, no experience on Solana) it based on the EVM too?

Haskell on Cardano makes a lot of sense from a correctness aspect, except you now need to source people ...

I've been looking at parsing paragraph structure and have started thinking about a conceptual mechanical turk/e e cummings line in the sand where it's just going to be easier to pay some kid with a cell phone to read words for you. The working implementations I've seen are heavily tied to domain and need to nail down language, which isn't really a thing.

Quantification is fascinating, it seems to be something I take for granted until I actually want to make decisions. It's like I'm constantly trying to forget that analog and digital are two totally separate concepts. I wouldn't really recommend reading Castaneda to anyone but he describes people living comfortably with mutually exclusive ideas in their head walled off by context, and I'd like that sort of understanding.

How are you sure? I would assume that a more likely scenario is one where clicking a first party ad on Google.com helps build a profile about the user.

> If you wish not to see the first-party SERP ads on Google, I would suggest you not use Google.

Recommending to avoid a site that has ads is not how ad-blockers are supposed to work.

I mean, tbf, they probably intended people to read it as a reference to Isaiah 2:4 (“And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore”) which is a somewhat more popular passage.
>"Why?" "Because our culture has product managers demanding things with short deadlines and no concern about the code quality."

If you want the 5-whys to not be a joke, you certainly shouldn't be arriving at such strong conclusions without an enormous amount of evidence. There's likely many other explanations.

A serious answer to a "why" question requires enough evidence that it could not be explained in any other way.

If we just want to arrive at strong conclusions that fit in with our priors, so be it, but at least be honest that you don't care about the truth.
Another phenomenal manufacturing technique bastardised and ruined by mediocre software consultants.

It's a practical tool, not psychotherapy for engineers. You're not supposed to go namby-pamby hands-in-the-air "it's the culture!" after asking why five times. You are supposed to figure some automation to implement, some tool to build that will help fix a recurring problem for good.

Example:

Manager: Power costs at the plastics plant are way too high!

Engineer 1: Why are we using all that power?

Engineer 2: I figured out we have this press that eats a bunch of electricity all the time.

Engineer 1: Why's that one press so power-hungry?

Engineer 2: It needs to be operated at a super high temperature so it uses all that power to keep warm.

Engineer 1: Why's it wasting power to keep warm? Can't it keep temperature?

Engineer 2: The thing's out in the open and the building is air conditioned, so there's constant heat transfer to the environment. And I found an A/C vent pointed directly at it.

Manager: So we're wasting power on heat and cold! Good Lord! Can't we build a box around that press?

Engineer 1: Good point, George thought of that a while ago but no one's gotten to it I guess.

Manager (to now promoted Joint Chiefs of Ass-Kicking Question Making): Great! Get to it!

It's not rocket science. Everyone knows things stink and you can't get anything done at this stupid place etc etc. You either keep busy tending to the garden or you move on.

EDIT: To answer some other comments the original Toyota technique even included ways to explore multiple causes and other such complexities 50 years ago. It's ironic that lean software gurus can't even copy/paste properly. I would hope they read more books before writing their next one.

Has any city tried combining those HAWK Signals (flashing amber on crosswalk) triggered by a camera looking for pedestrians (/ cyclists etc)? I think that would be a cost-effective combination by making the pedestrians much more obvious.
Total solar eclipse plunges Antarctica into darkness
this seems to put all the onus on drivers. in my experience driving in SF, i'll be in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn left (its unprotected) and light will be yellow turning red. And i have a shot to go left but then an idiotic biker or pedestrian will walk even though it says "dont walk". leaving me to be stuck in the intersection.

people often ignore those pedestrian lights completely and dare you to hit them.

dont get me started on bikers who ignore all lights and zip out in half a second

There were some upvotes then a series of downvotes as the top comment in this thread changed. Thus, opinion on this issue is mixed.

JSON of course stands for "object" notation. Once we start delimiting the "object" with a newline, or limit its size/length, it arguably starts to sound more like string and the problem of memory requirements is abated.

As the parent comment suggested, when the "object" notation is used for delimited JSON it's really not "JSON" anymore. Is it still describing "objects", or is it describing strings, with the addition of brackets, braces, commas, colons and more quotes. Let the reader decide.

It is reasonable to ask what was the purpose of JSON in the first place, and, if it was designed for sending data over a network, whether previous solutions like netstrings could accomplish the same things as delimited JSON.
They have started to appear in Austin, Texas, where I live, but only in the last 10 years. There are many more places they could be added, but I think when two country roads meet you just make a plain "+" intersection, and as it gets gradually more urban it just never gets rethought as to whether it should be turned into a roundabout. But it is (where I live at least) slowly starting to get adopted.
I'm usually the first person to complain about political correctness. I've just always considered humanity to be at the genus level, not the species level.
My initial answer is "hell no" but on second thought I maybe need more context. As others asked, how much do I expect it to generate? How much do I have to play with? Am I a BigCo with an end of year departmental budget to burn?

Even then, 30k for a single page, which I assume is static, is kinda ridiculous. The only justification I can think of is very, very good design from an expensive design agency.

For the dev work we are talking paying someone $300 / hour for over 2 weeks. Seems out of my reality.

If at one point a VR/AR headset looks the same as ordinary sunglasses with 16k per eye , I am sure it will be a new revolution. The amount of information you can project on those glasses while walking around in the normal world is beyond imagination. you can show the world as it is plus a ton of info at every object you look at.
Those glasses will slowly evolve to the size of eye lenses and it will be a necessary item in order to participate in modern society. Just like living without internet isnt possible.
Innovation has reached a local maximum if tech elites can only think of cyrpto-currencies and VR as near or long-term opportunities. What a depressing time to be in technology.
That is very nice looking. But I want the hyperlinks because the information I want is often spread out over more than one page (often Wikipedia achieves more concision than a traditional encyclopedia by hyperlinking rather than defining the terms it uses). And I want references because otherwise the information is unreliable. And I often want images because they sometimes convey information better than any text ("an image is worth a thousand words").
Some Wikipedia pages use CSS classes to allow people to self-censor what they see - for example, this is the remedy provided to people who do not want to see images of Muhammad.

I think it probably matters what your preconceptions are. I don't know what continent has to do with it. I'm pragmatic. It's a place cars and pedestrians both have an expectation to be. Therefore, it's shared. We use signals to make it safer, but nobody should ever lose sight of the reality that they may find a car there, or a pedestrian there, at the same time.

I assume this is Decentraland looking to attach itself to popular open source projects for publicity. It's actually good if it works for them, but i dont get their product. Very few people use it, their worlds look childish and nobody is in them. Yet somehow they sell their parcels for millions.

In contrast, opensimulator.org is open source, self-hosted, decentralized, much more beautiful, has an active and happy user base of thousands, and it gets $0 in funding from anyone. The main developer doesnt even get any donations. how does that make sense

This was actually one of the reasons I did not want to move to California. Around 2000 I had someone from Oakland staying at my $139k home in Minneapolis. Admittedly, I did live in a very nice neighborhood, but her estimate was that my house would cost at least $500k in a comparable area in Oakland.

That was all the incentive I needed to stay put. IIRC, I wasn't making that much more than $70k at the time but I could have worked in a coffee shop and paid my mortgage.
Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud. It is only due to the fact that our society is so scientifically and technologically illiterate that he is still on anyone's radar in 2021.

Just a youtube video.

21340 km of superconducting tape could take rather some time to fabricate. Then, of course you need to get it there, and lay it out, and construct 20k refrigeration plants. Then, extract enough nitrogen from the atmosphere (1.89% concentration) for refrigerant; you'll need about 4M tons of it. You also need 21340 km of cryo-safe piping bonded to the tape, which probably weighs another 4M tons. Plus heat insulation.

Leakage from 21340 km of tubing, even if just migration of single molecules through the walls of the tube, would require continuous injection of fresh nitrogen.

And, I guess, you had better protect it from meteorite strikes. A planet-sized magnetic field suddenly imploding would seem to release enough energy to vaporize your whole tape. Maybe you should have two of them, parallel, 100km apart so they are unlikely to both be taken out by the same meteorite.
Me updating page contents happens (relatively) often. Me re-working my whole page structure which would break existing conventional URLs happens very rarely.

Because conventional URLs don't care about updates to a page's contents, this means the common case of only updating pages requires no additional configuration. I only need to invest additional time setting up redirects on the rare occasion that I actually do re-arrange file names etc.

IPFS URLs on the other hand are revision-specific, so they break (or rather actually get out of date and eventually break if at some point in the future nobody has a copy of that version cached/pinned somewhere any more) as soon as I fix even one tiny little typo, so I need to set up some sort of URL mapping service right from the start.

San Francisco pushes ahead towards open-source voting program
I thought that this would serve nothing but sounds that people have recorded from different parts of the planet, but many of these sounds are stock instrument samples which are served out of globalsequencer.com's images folder with filenames that identify the instrument. Original samples have a UUID name and are served by a Cloudfront bucket.

That said, this is a fun site. The ambience that plays when the sequencer is paused is quite pleasant
This is especially true for the gigantic trucks with poor visibility and handling which a lot of commuters are now picking as their daily driver.

You should need a CDL with regular retesting to drive those in a city because they’re far more likely to serious injure someone when misused. Actual cattle ranchers have the space for that but anywhere shared with pedestrians and bicyclists does not.
I'm not sure about Decentraland specifically, but typically there will be a subset of the DAO members who actually control the DAO treasury in a "multisig wallet". Say they have 10 signatories, they might have a requirement that 8 of the 10 signatories approve a transaction to either send ETH to Blender, or do the necessary swaps to give Blender USD. The signatories have committed to execute the will of the DAO.

Voting happens "off chain" using a tool called Snapshot (https://snapshot.org/#/snapshot.dcl.eth). If people hold some Decentraland tokens/assets, they can vote, and their vote is weighted in proportion to their holdings. This isn't without its problems: https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/08/16/voting3.html

Probably. If you are a resolver and each client caches the DNS for 5 minutes and you have 300 people constantly accessing a certain domain, you have to make 1 request upstream every second. However, if you cache it for 5 minutes yourself, you only have to make 1 request every 5 minutes. Actually, even if you had a single client, it may still be the case that their caching preferences differ from yours, assuming that either of you are willing to disregard the actual record TTL.

Yeah as someone who lived in NYC and nearby Jersey City for over a decade before moving out, I was very surprised by OP's comment:

> are free to roam around the city at nearly all hours in ways that would have been unthinkable when I was their age. It is incredible how safe NYC is.

Yes, the lower / Southern part of Manhattan, below 96th St is fairly safe at all times of the day or even night. But, and this is a big but, stray anywhere out of those "safe" Manhattan neighborhoods and you'll be terrified at how unsafe it is even at dawn or dusk. I've had friends who were mugged early mornings or evenings in areas like Harlem, East Harlem and the Bronx, even when there was a bit of light out. You hear police sirens round the clock in these areas.

Anecdotally, when I last visited Manhattan last year, I did notice the following and can confirm that OP is right about this, though I suspect this may improve as life in Manhattan goes back to normal in the months and years to come (maybe?):

I was searching for some (no-anecdotal) evidence and found this study:

https://labs.ripe.net/author/giovane_moura/dns-ttl-violation...

Seems that increased TTL in resolvers is still a thing in 2021 but it's a bit over-estimated. IMO it should not be considered when changing DNS. May their customers complain about the broken DNS every time a change is not "propagated" (sic!) there.
> If I am on a public web page of a particular resource I should be able to share the URL to anyone else. Neither my user agent nor the other party's user agent should matter.

This is how mobile wikipedia pages behave. What part of that do you disagree with?

Share a mobile page's URL and the person following your link will see the same page you do, no matter what your user-agent is, no matter what their user-agent is, no matter what device you're using, no matter what device they're using.

This is the problem. The behavior you are looking for, of different people seeing different content according to their user-agent, is also provided, and it's provided by the standard page.

All this stuff happened before Google come to existence. I recall a somewhat humorous conversation with a friend about an exotic Portuguese rock band. He insistent could not have existed, because he could not find anything about them via a Google search!

What become of the ABBA Seafood brand has a take on the history:

https://www.orkla.se/brands/abba/

"The Abba brand and the pop group ABBA have been the subject of some confusion over the years. During the 1970s, Abbas' switchboard usually received calls from Swedish and foreign fans who, if they were not allowed to talk to any of the group's members, could settle for a signed idol card.

Before the group Abba broke through in 1974, they actually called from the record company Polar and asked for the green light to use the name. Per Brolund, then HR manager at Abba, gave his consent to a reservation. "That the young people behaved and did not damage Abbas' good reputation."

Thank you for this comment. As a manufacturing engineer, I really appreciate it.
Here’s my alternative explanation why the word “propagate” is used - there is no verb for awaiting cache TTL expiration.

Some suggestions for verbs:

• Cache flush wait

• Cache out (sounds too much like “cash out”)

• Soft whisper / cache whisper

• TTL cascade
I grew up in a city of 2500 people, with vast distances. Of course people used cars for much, and no public transport. But the city centre was designed such that you parked your care one place, and then walked between all the stores. No having to drive through a big parking lot and crossing a street to get to the next store. I lived about 2km away from school, and biked, skied or walked every day, since it was designed a path for that. That path/road was completely separated from any roads cars would travel. So very safe. No one I know of got driven by cars to school.

Ironically, those making it unsafe for kids to walk to school, are parents driving their kids being short on time.

Point being, I have not only ever lived in dense urban environments. Secondly, that even those non-dense are perfectly viable to make safe for humans, and use less cars.
It would be cool if GitHub allowed rich interaction with PCB files like this. I guess it would help with open hardware design.
