Yeah, ironically when i think of Uber, i think of Ubermenschen, which featured prominently in Nazi propaganda[1], so 1940s. So much for ego being a new thing and cherry picking how in olden times things were better.

Even so, your thesis was falsifiable which makes it good in my book :)

Unless they also demand that you film yourself continuously up to putting the envelope in a mailbox, they can't be sure you actually mailed the ballot or that you didn't invalidate the result later.

This would risk exposing yourself, and in turn, the intimidator.

But if only one ballot is mailed per citizen, they can be reasonably sure you didn't vote for the competition.
GOV.UK likes to make sure that people at the margins can still access their material. See this post from last year about someone using a PlayStation Portable to access their housing benefits:

I believe that it is irresponsible to

1. Start new projects intended for production that have nontrivial security threats in C or C++

2. Not have a plan to categorically prevent memory safety errors in legacy codebases over the next decade or so, whether that be by transitioning to new languages or by applying rigorous hardware-level memory tracking
> Seems pretty obvious that it's expensive compared to the alternatives.

That statement is not obvious to me.

You are comparing electrophoretic panels to LCD panels. Both are display technologies. But that's where the similarities end. The volumes are many orders of magnitude different. LCDs would be billions of displays per month. Electrophoretics would be at best 20 million displays a YEAR!

> Which in this case are regular LCD panels. Yes I know, the use cases are slightly different, power consumption is much lower, etc. etc. Doesn't matter - most people want to use an e-ink display to... display stuff on a screen, which they can get in the LCD variety for a fraction of the price.

Yes, you can get coca cola for a fraction of the price of a Chablis wine. But you realize why one costs more than the other right?

I think most people here just aren't taking time to understand the display industry.
> notion of a “well rounded student” who does music, art, and extra curricular activities, is a legacy of blue blood WASP culture

This concept finds heritage in Greco-Roman tradition moreso than anything Anglo or Saxon. It's also not uncommon for non-European civilizations to have emphasized educating their elites in both aesthetic and practical matters. For good reason. If your job is to lead a civilization, people are your tool of trade.

The tradition in America has racist--specifically, anti-Semitic--roots. But that doesn't mean we have to throw out the baby with the bathwater. If there's something sorely lacking in modern American culture, it's attention to matters in civic, philosophical and possibly even literary.
I don't think it's about infighting.

Debian's constitution says the Debian Developers may vote to publish "position statements about issues of the day", and some developers want to use those for the sort of political statement that might make people angry with them.
Thanks for taking the time to write this out. I’ve always been into shortcuts/efficiency when using computers, but vim has made me realize how just how deep the rabbit hole goes and I find it intimidating. With that said, since learning more about vim and why people like it, I find myself getting more and more frustrated every time I instinctively reach for the mouse in vs code or really anything, which while it’s not even that slow, this mental tax leads to an unpleasant development experience. I’m now finding myself at the awkward intersection of seeing how much I leave on the table with vscode in the long term, but also not being anywhere near as productive after making the full switch to vim.

I could care less about what people think of the editor I use. The ergonomic benefit is nice, but after seeing a video[0] of someone who is clearly years ahead in vim fluency, I am so drawn to the idea of having my productivity limited by my thoughts vs how quick I can interaction with my editor.

Not OP, but the docs call out some "Tricky Cases" [1].

[1] https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/tricky_cases.html
Spring Boot wrapped in a Docker container and a frontend written in JS using React, Angular or similar.

So maybe the frontend and deployment has changed. The rest probably not so much.

Java versions 8 and 11 are by far the most common.

Lambdas were introduced in version 8.
I always mention secure system programming languages going back to 1958. Don't remember Rust being that ancient, and have plenty of critical remarks about Rust as well.

So maybe address that "You guys" to someone else.
I thought it was some blocking, but I disabled my uBlock, Firefox's tracking protection, as well as the router-level DNS adblock, and it still toggled back on sporadically.

I would turn it off, close the page, and bam, there it was again enabled.

It got back working a few days later though, so I guess it was some idiotic A/B test.
To do this requires some standard way of encoding an AST which includes comments and dividers.

That standard format is commonly known as source code - although it lacks a normal form.

Tools like prettier, gofmt and black can be thought of as a way to produce a normal form of source code.

This is (IMO) a reasonable incremental approach towards exactly what you describe - if a project checks in only source code that's formatted using a standardised format, then you're free to work on it using whatever equivalent representation you like - as long as it's converted back at commit-time.

Tweeting with your real name is a tiny bit mad when it is anything remotely sensitive. Leave it to journalists, they're used to the flak and protected.
Lazy Q, but do you know if there is a reason that the votes need to be whole numbers? If I allocate 7 credits to something is there any reason not to just count that as 2.65 votes?

(And by "any reason" I guess I mean "any reason besides lack of comfort with non-whole numbers").

From here it seems like the general principle of social cost still applies / doesn't have anything to do with the step-function nature of things.
Your justifications are useless if they aren't being listened to, which was the problem back then. A huge lack of empathy and understanding.
I’ve seen the Micronaut framework used instead of Spring Boot a lot recently for AWS Lambda
Let’s say I give you a box with two lights to show its state, one green and one red. Currently, the red light is on. The red light will also be on tomorrow. In fact, people who have observed this box for years have only ever seen it show red.

You might argue that this box is simply hard-wired to show red, but then I explain: No, your impression is wrong. I’ve built this box, and I’ve taken every possible measure to make it show green.

How credible am I?

And would you be more inclined to believe me more if I told you about my intrinsic love for the color green, and how I wired up the green light first, and how I have an entire committee of experts that has to sign off every design change to this box to ensure sufficient greenness? While it still shows, and only ever will, show the red light?

There are two steps needed instead of three as you can search images directly. Searching for a large image (or any other search where filters and modifiers are used) are probably less than 0.1% of all searches so this use case is not worth optimizing for yet as it would not have a meaningful impact on overall average monthly cost.

Eclipse has far better refactoring. IntelliJ refactors text files that are not Java and can easily break stuff when eclipse refactors are always safe. IntelliJ updates text strings but it's not always correct in doing so, é. G. A comment that says "_don't_ use a.b.C" might get refactored.
In eclipse you can often safley "code backwards" i.e. break an API and then fix all the red dots, usually with auto fix options. IntelliJ misses a lot of necessary fixes until you compile. That can add hours of work to a big change.

I always thought electric cars “filling up” at “electrical gas stations” was bizarre. If the major roads were electrified, electric cars wouldn’t need as much range, would be cheaper, lighter, better on the environment, wouldn’t need to sit for hours at a charging station. It’s a new and different technology hobbled by old ways of doing things.
They aren't. It says in the first line of the abstract that they correlate with general measures of intelligence, which is a different thing.
In this particular context it seems to just be one of a zoo of competing alternatives with nothing in particular to recommend it, and some serious drawbacks.

I've seen in proposed for voting in the real world where you buy the credits with real money in some growing cost-per-credit, as an attempt to control for rich people being able to buy so much more voting power right now through lobbiests. It has a certain cryptonanarchist or radical libertarian appeal, but the engineer in me points out there doesn't appear to be a path from here to there, since among other things you have to figure out how to fully ban any other form of lobbying by the rich, which is simply not practical. Not even if I include "have a violent" revolution as an option, because no plausible violent revolution would adopt this system at the end of it either. I dunno if it's fair to say people are really hardcoded to "one person, one vote", but for whatever reason it is something that you can get people to generally agree as fair, possibly just because everyone can easily see that the instant you visibly deviate from that there's no longer in point in voting because you will never get to the voting phase; the voting body will never again do anything but argue about how to vote.

While I think it's still hopelessly impossible, at least in this context there's some meat to discuss to the proposal, rather than just Yet Another Exotic Voting Method for small groups.

(I have to add visibly there because as previous sentences show in that paragraph, I'm well aware we don't have a "one person, one vote" system in practice. In theory it's a Republic, after all, not a Democracy, and in practice, anyone who buys lobbiests has vastly more voting power than you do. But it looks like we do, so it's stable enough for now. It can even be the case that everyone pretty much realizes it, but it's stable enough. But make it visibly obvious that's not what's happening and the fireworks will fly.)
The laws merely reflect the principles. The Declaration of Independence outlines the principles. The Constitution codifies it into law, as an example -- a perspective much argued for by Abraham Lincoln. (This is why it's ok to amend the constitution -- because much to the chagrin of a certain political philosophy, it is not the constitution that is the unchanging doctrine, but rather, the declaration. Think creed versus canon law, as another example). From this perspective you can probably deduce the examples I would give.
How to find a Web3 job and what salary to ask for?
Hi, im Momo digital nomads and art code enthusiastic.

I build web3hunter.co to provide people like me a space where they can find new web3 opportunities, information about salaries and trending projects.

It's my first project and first entrepreneur experience, it's really exciting but also 'scary', waiting for what customer's and user gonna say about the platform.

This project is build in public, i want to grow and continue developing the application based on customer feedbacks and user needs.

I will be happy to see what you guys think about it

The only revelation here is that you have zero idea how these app algorithms work.
That is true, yet it has nothing to do with the strange universal claim that "everyone would prefer X". In a world with over seven billion people in it, such universal claims are inherently dangerous.
I'm very curious to hear what Eclipse does that IntelliJ does not match.
Sure, Ada/SPARK is another option. Listing out the various potential choices people can make is not especially interesting to me. I don't personally care about Rust. I care about people taking action to solve a frankly embarrassing problem in our industry.
> In the right frequency--in publicly known frequencies--the handset would shine like a torch.

To clarify: if a satellite phone of a particular manufacturer uses a known set of frequencies and is talking to a specific satellite and you know the rough area where you are looking for phones from that manufacturer you can filter out the rest of the electromagnetic radiation and then all you are left with is instances of phones of that type (or other devices using the same set of frequencies).

It's not quite as easy as picking out a torch at night and to get accurate coordinates you will need to do some more measurements and some math but this is all definitely doable, especially if the call lasts for more than a few minutes if the device you use to scan for the phone is mobile (such as on a plane) because with every passing second your baseline is getting longer (and thus your accuracy).

Radio amateurs do this sort of thing for sport, it's called fox hunting ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmitter_hunting ), and with experienced hunters it can be done pretty quickly if the target is stationary.
I would argue that it's a disadvantage only from the self-centered perspective that modern society encourages us to cultivate. Empathy is an incredibly useful tool for humans that exist as part of a community, but our societies are structured to benefit those who seek to maximally exploit others, our role models are sociopaths, and the cultural narrative is that our only value is either in being them or being useful to them.
Tesla sells more, does a lot more cutting edge & controversial things, and so in a community of technophiles like HN it's always going to be a bigger flashpoint of discussion. Especially compared to a stodgy 100+ year old company following a trend for which Tesla laid much of the foundation.

Not that I think that's how it should be. For me, even (especially?) from a technophile POV, problems with EV's from a company like Chevy (well, GM) or VW are more interesting. These are the companies that, in the shorter term, will have a much larger impact on mass market EV adoption. They're the ones with the manufacturing, distribution, and service base needed to quickly scale into low & mid market segments that Tesla doesn't much seem to care about. That's what will define how much, or how quickly, these become just another everyday piece of tech.

In 5 years the mobile phone market went from most people buying a feature phone to most buying a smartphone. The screwups made by the big EV manufacturers will define how quickly EVs do the same thing for the automobile market.

I'm with on on this, and agree wholeheartedly that fighting overconsumption is a system change, which needs a big political win (see my response on a sibling comment).

At the same time, I do have a little hope that commenting this here can plant some seeds that might grow into something bigger later on.
Psychologist measured that people differ by personality, and can be roughly grouped into 16 categories based on traits. I used to think everyone was more or less the same. I'm not sure if 16 is the correct number. But my understanding of the world has been helped by the concept that there are people that do and act in particular patterns. For example some of the battles on twitter that are going on, are just extensions of these personality clashes.
It's not about splitting the vote in that way; Debian's system is robust to that.

It's about the 3:1 supermajority requirement that was needed for Option 1 and Option 2.

It turns out that their rules for dealing with this work by comparing those options against NOTA only; the problem is that it's plausible that many of the voters didn't realise this.

> IMO if this was the case with e-ink - we would see much better adoption and prices.

It is unclear what you mean. I already asked which specific patent needs to be canceled for your belief (hope?) to become true. I hope you don't give the same answer others here gave in the past. Which was: all of them. That just indicates a lack of understanding of the underlying physics of electrophoretics.

> Can the same be said about E ink? It's worse than literal paper for static images, worse than LCD for dynamic content. There is a niche for content that sometimes has to change, like on price tags, but those screens are significantly cheaper than what we're complaining about in this thread.

Yes. But how is that related to what I asked about? OP said it was expensive, and mentioned patents. I asked what OP meant by that. Because expensive based on what calculation? Just relative to LCDs? That's like saying a bottle of Chablis wine is more expensive than a bottle of coke. Sure. I agree 100% with that and I can only hope people understand why. It has nothing to do with patents.

Seriously! Kinda like those food services people who harp on and on about gloves. Clean gloves prevent this, clean gloves solve that. And they're not content to just use gloves themselves. They keep evangelizing to recruit everyone to their practice.

In what little experience I have with burglars, they aren't exactly the type who will be hacking your smart locks to get into your house. They're just going to break the door or window.

I like being able to check the status of my door locks remotely, and lock them if necessary. I like being able to make sure all locks and garage doors are secure automatically before bedtime. I'm not at all worried about someone sitting out in front of my house hacking the Z-Wave lock. By the time they figured it out, the neighbors will have already called the police anyway.

Connecting all my door locks (and garage doors too) to HA has measurably increased the security of my home.
I think that's probably true, but it's more about conscientiousness than empathy. If you're empathetic and lack conscientiousness, you have a great advantage in being able to "work" people. And you feel no guilt if things don't go well for them.

On the other hand, you could be highly conscientious and lack empathy. You may try to do the right thing, but you feel guilt anyway because you're unable to understand why what you did wasn't in line with what the other person was feeling.
Yes, we're agreeing with each other. I think the NIMBY view that everybody prefers detached single-family housing is both wrong in the abstract and in the actual. People should simply be free to express their preferences in a market.
Google's entire business hinges on user privacy from everyone other than Google. If, tomorrow, either this Account Security scenario happened[0] or this South Park website happened[1] (everyone's internet history searchably by anyone), and it was done at the incompetence of Google, they would crumble overnight. They might recover within a year or two if they release a statement and fix it within a few hours or something, but it would be devastating and they would have to kiss their entire Google Cloud business (encompassing Cloud Platform and Workspace) goodbye.

Once more, even for their ad business, they don't sell that data, they target based off of it. They would lose their competitive data advantage overnight if someone could pay them $100 per-user for every user's full advertising profile since they could then go behind Google's back and out-header-bid Google with lower margins.

Ah that's good news, cheers for the heads up!
Typically employment isn't an absolute right. A company can always lay you off for no reason. They just have to compensate you X weeks/months pay (often linked to length of tenure) in order to do so if there is no cause. It does put an additional burden on companies, but the benefit to employees is huge (losing your job isn't an immediate crisis) and it doesn't seem to overly affect the availability of jobs.
