Let's just say I've some personal experience in this...

What's their to debate, COVID had 2 year long eviction moratoriums in some parts
>>I know we'll have driverless cars within ten-years

That's sarcastic, right? Like "we'll have fusion power in 50 years"? Except that we might actually have fusion power in 50 years and I don't actually think we'll have truly driverless cars within 50 years.
That's what I did, it was pretty easy. Apt got the build dependencies for me, I just had to make the code change and dpkg-buildsomething made it, and then dpkg -i.

Luckily I don't update often and this package should be forward compatible for a long time given the slow rate of change.
I would attribute most of it to poor customer development or product management. If you can’t find the demand for your product, it doesn’t matter how good the engineers or managers are.

Failed projects are inevitable though, even if you do everything well. Good teams don’t look for people to blame, which results in no one sticking their neck out to advocate for stuff. Instead they look to learn from each experience and hone their processes.
In more regulated countries, the state limits what banks can do to their customers. In the EU that means a legal right to a basic bank account, among other things, so "terminating accounts for very little reason" is not going to happen.

There is a biological marker for the need of many drugs too - it develops over time with use (and then stays for a long time).

Anyways, I agree with you w.r.t. many psychiatric drugs. Don't try to spread that into psychedelics though - completely different, it has enough of its own problems and it's not necessary to make up some non-existent on top of that.

One day I just woke up and realized I've been living this way for a very long time and that it didn't bring me any benefit. I was so sick and tired of that anxiety that I eventually became angry at it. This anger turned into curiosity: what actually happens if I do that thing I dreaded doing so much? Then it became exciting and I stopped giving a damn because the excitement was much more interesting than thr anxiety I had so far.
Not sure, but I saw a screenshot of her return. (looking it up now) It was $539.

The sad part: she didn't think anything of it, and thought that's how it was. The reason for the screenshot is because last year, her daughter's dad basically stole her child tax credit. So she was celebrating getting her return accepted before he could pull the same thing.

For reference, her return was also five figures. I'm guessing these companies aim for a % of the total return. So perhaps a "$149" upgrade was $249 because of her return size. Like how online retailers bump up the price for goods based on zip code. I'm speculating though.
This is a strange perspective. Do you consider subways "not a reality" because small rural towns can't sustain one?
“ we’re required but governments across the world to be on the lookout for people doing “fraudy” things and terminate their accounts ASAP.”

And that is the difference. Google is not the Govmnt and there is no legislation supporting them (except their probably murky and possibly ilegal TOS -ilegal because of lack of human oversight).
Google is dealing with a very real problem. There are bad actors, particularly internationally, who systematically and at scale try to subvert / cheat. This includes multiple accounts, and businesses that hire folks who try to cheat the system. Google almost certainly has statistics supporting the increased risk of working with developers / businesses that hire folks who break various rules. Certainly there are false positives as well.

A lot of folks are offended by $100 / year developer fees. If Apple et al charged $10,000 to get going as a developer, they would probably be better positioned to deal with all this less automatically. In fact, game dev historically might have followed a bit of this model (xbox etc).

Anyways, my own thought, there should be a pathway to a $5,000 fee where you get a higher level of human interaction.
The spacing effect:

The spacing effect demonstrates that learning is more effective when study sessions are spaced out. This effect shows that more information is encoded into long-term memory by spaced study sessions, also known as spaced repetition or spaced presentation, than by massed presentation ("cramming").

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacing_effect

Spaced Repetition Software (like Anki) allows you to learn more things in less time – and remember them better, too. It's especially useful if you want to learn a large amount of things over a longer timeframe.

A blueprint for handling this can be cribbed off of "just transition" plans for folks in fossil electrical generation (coal) [1] [2] who are going to be out of a job in the next 5-10 years. Looking back at history, the productivity gains from automated vehicles can be split with the firms operating these fleets with those being transitioned out (as happened with the invention of the cargo container and Longshoremen's unions [3]). Another resource that covers this topic (in part) is The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger [4].

Never think you need permission to do your job well. If you are absolutely confident you have a great idea, then just go ahead and execute smoothly. Since you know the idea is good, it will be easy to defend later if someone calls it into question.

On the flip side, if you are not absolutely sure (and you generally should not be!) then ask as many people as feasible to criticise your idea so you can work out the best possible version of it before you execute.
iPhone user, not a developer - it's my understanding the review process and support are, generally, with humans. To the point that some app developers have run into human mistakes rather than automation mistakes.

Apple is nowhere close to perfect, though. They probably have even more problems with control over the app store and what you can put on it. To make it worse, unlike android, sideloading is not only not supported, it can be a violation of terms.

I saw the comments about developing for iOS instead and shook my head, to be honest. It's just as difficult to deal with, possibly even more frustrating when you make a simple app update and it gets rejected because something that was already in the app now violates app store policies, or you do something with your app that <big company> does, but you're not allowed to. And their explanations can be just as useless.

But, at least you can get support. Which is why I switched to Apple for many of my devices and services. Probably the main exception is I don't use macOS devices (macbooks, etc).

I took a fully autonomous Waymo in phoenix a year ago. Very cool. A little jerky and at one point it said "Figuring this out" but whatever it was got resolved very quickly.

Also, it was a pain to book it. I tried once and there were no vehicles available. I tried a couple days later and it told me I would have to wait a half hour for a ride.
You and my friend with the lizard would have a lot in common. Every animal has a purpose, she says. She makes me realize the fragility of life. When we were living together, in New Zealand, she rescued a little green bird that accidentally crashed into our window. I remember it sat in her hand shaking. One day it was strong enough and flew away. It's so beautiful. And then it's gone. I think this is why I can't sleep. I still don't know what this all is. It's over too fast.
I'm thinking about trying. I also think it should be logging to syslog so people can actually figure out why it's this way.

> I understand volume . Part of it is having competitors though. If there's literally 1 company making the display you want for your product they're only going to lower the price per unit so much. Where else are you going to go?

I don't understand the point you are making. There are many many materials, products where there are only single or a few suppliers in the whole world. Not just in the display industry, but even your software industry like Google, Microsoft, etc. Could you elaborate what exactly you're trying to say? It is completely unclear.
There are other replies talking about Apple or whatever but I'll be honest: because 2 decades of online forum experience and FOSS development tells me that the final paragraph is exactly what happens anytime you change things like this and they are exposed to turbo-nerds, despite the fact they are often poorly educated and incredibly ill-informed about the topics at hand. You see it here in spades on HN. It doesn't have anything to do with Apple, either; plenty of FOSS maintainers could tell you similar horror stories. I mean it's literally just a paraphrase of an old XKCD.

To be fair though, I mean. I'm mostly a bitchy nerd, too. And broadly speaking, taking the piss is just good fun sometimes. That's the truth, at least for me.

If it helps, simply close your eyes and imagine a very amped up YouTuber saying what I wrote above. But they're doing it while doing weird camera transitions, slow-mo shots of panning up the side of some Mac Mini or whatever. They are standing at a desk with 4 computers that are open-mobo with no case, and 14 GPUs on a shelf behind them. Also the video is like 18 minutes long for some reason. It's pretty funny then, if you ask me.
We're building a highly specialized product (GNSS Radiooccultation). Its specialized enough that we have to rely on hiring people with generic skills and then developing the specialized skills to work in the domain. In essence, we are relying on internal on-the-job training to build up our team. Remote work failed for us for the same reasons that remote education has been failing everywhere: 1/4 to 1/2 of the job is adult professional education.
if you had a bank account shared between your developers, and someone who left the company started using it for money laundering, the entire account would be shut down and you would not be getting that money back

This is more like giving someone a credit card associated with your business account, them leaving, and three years later your business account is closed because they committed a fraud using their personal bank account.

FSD on my Model Y keeps me on my toes. Not only do I look out for vehicles, pedestrians, and wild animals, I also have to be ready to take over if it slams on the brakes on the freeway or decides the safest way to navigate a gradual corner on a highway is by having the left wheels on the centerline. I'm holding out hope.

knowing how to effectively run a meeting.

if you can create meetings that are engaging, informational, and have actual actionable outcomes at the end that people are accountable for, you'll have a much easier time meeting people and getting things done.

a technical 10x that I've found is knowing infrastructure (if you're a software dev) or knowing how to write software (if you're an infrastructure person).
Nah, done something better. Removed it altogether.

I actually didn't realize I was still loading GA, thought I'd removed it long ago. Well, thanks for pointing it out. :)
Some of the rides going forward will include safety drivers, but no, this announcement is about how they took the “specialist”/driver/human safety operator out of the car for the first time in San Francisco.

Edit: looking at the full context of that quote, they’re talking about their plan for removing the safety driver in downtown Phoenix.

>Our commitment to Phoenix and the community there remains strong, and we’ll soon be expanding to another area: Downtown Phoenix. Just as we’ve done before, we'll start with Waymo employees hailing trips with autonomous specialists behind the wheel, with the goal of opening it up to members of the public via our Trusted Tester program soon after.
Mm. Friend of mine had the entire "Traces of Death" series on video for exactly this reason. Totally not a serial killer. He just liked to be reminded that we're all made of goo.
Nah, what I need are headphones that can make me a sandwich and bring me a cold beer. Difficulty: must be able to remove cap from beer bottle.
I had the same reaction. I've forgotten most of it, but that's because there have been zero times in the ~18 years (oh god...) since I had a calculus class that I've seen anything I could use it for, without just making up a reason to use it.
This is so cool! For some of the one-off projects, it'd save a fortune to not have to use AWS.
What? You can't post nationalistic slurs to HN and I'm shocked that a user with your history here would sink to that.

No more of this on HN, please, ever. You can make your substantive points about corporate practices and whatnot without talking about how an entire nation of people shouldn't be trusted.

This is really basic stuff and applies regardless of which country anyone has a problem with.

My question, is there some statistical support for this? I scummy company employees tend to trend towards scummy stuff? No doubt lots of false positives, but folks keep on seeing this as a "mistake" google is making, and google may not think this type of associative banning is actually a mistake.
Pretty much nothing is totally hack proof while preserving any reasonable level of convenience.

Ten years doesn't sound sarcastic to me. With fully driverless operation starting in SF (and with several years in Phoenix), having it widely rolled out within ten years seems very plausible.

You can rate cities, towns, villages, islands, national parks etc. Basically places that you would like to visit. Nomadlist is really cool! But focused around the remote/nomad lifestyle, and most travelers are not digital nomads.

Shouldn't doesn't mean doesn't. Seems to me that common sense suggests they're pretty dangerous to use in traffic, but I'm not claiming that is actually the case. I'm just wondering what the stats are - the only real way to know.

For context, I live in a major city. I've seen people pulling these things round busy multi-lane roundabouts and the like.
Hmm, I know how you feel. Got banned on some subreddit for some stupid post. 10 years of comments linked to that account. Will never be able to post in there any more, and there is zero appeals process. The moderators themselves are just silent, no response to my appeal at all. The response from the admins I got to my ticket on an ‘unjust ban’ was basically ‘tough luck, subreddit moderators can do whatever they want’.

Living in a liberal democracy has made me so used to the system working mostly fairly that these interactions with a ‘fiefdom’ introduce some sort of cognitive dissonance.
Somewhat disappointed in the Bezier section, which seems to want to incorrectly teach people that Bezier curves have four points, "the end", rather than teaching them that they can be defined with any number of points, and that an n-point Bezier represents a section of an nth order polygon, with point-on-curve calculation based on summing n terms with binomial coefficients.

This is a novel approach to designing a programming language that, I believe, came along with C. Older languages, like, for example, PL/I, tended to put much of the standard functionality in the language itself; C, C++, Haskell, etc., on the other hand, decided to externalize everything except for the "core" facilities; the benefit of this is of course that a developer can now, theoretically, use the language to implement anything, but that comes at the expense of the language being conceptually more complex. (Even a simple language like C is considered complex by many due to its excessive reliance on the use of pointers and the manual memory management.)
Even if we migrate all energy production from coal to solar, solar panels require massive amounts of coal to produce. It's a shell game at best.
>Just as we’ve done before, we'll start with Waymo employees hailing trips with autonomous specialists behind the wheel,

Ok. I tell you what, I've got an innovative idea. You see, these "autonomous specialists". They sound expensive, right? Got to be trained not just to drive, but to debug the computer, to have higher concentration levels to mitigate the inevitable higher risk of sudden interventions. So what you do - and stay with me now - you strip out the autonomous tech and just replace it with a steering wheel. All of a sudden you no longer need these useless "autonomous specialists" and anyone could drive it. It's a billion dollar idea, I guarantee it!
> Why do you find "all of them" answer to be unsatisfactory?

You're making a claim analogous to saying "Microsoft is causing operating system prices to be excessive because of their patents". And when someone asks could you provide evidence for that, you just say "all of their patents". Can you follow why that answer is unsatisfactory?

It seems pretty clear to me that this claim that patents are the problem are coming from people who have no experience in the electronics industry or understanding of the physics of electrophoretic displays.

> Maybe it's inherent to this specific technology and no amount of competition and investment will be able to fix it. But we will not know it for sure any time soon. Because of patents.

Again. Which patent? All of them? Sigh....

If you have an employee doing stupid things on their own personal account on their own personal time, should your company’s Google Play developer account also be terminated?

This is one of the many reasons I personally stay as far as possible from anything to do with Google.

What’s next? Loosing access to all our company’s emails and personal photos because someone former employee’s twice-removed cousin decided to try their hands at phishing?

Sounds like a joke, but if even Google employees' families can permanently lose access to their Google account without any recourse[^1], who’s safe?

Charge for value. Charge a little less than the value you deliver, to make your product a money-saver, not an expense center. Tiers are sales tools, not billing tools. You give them crappy tiers nobody wants, outrageous tiers nobody would actually buy, and a middle ground that then looks good to make the sale.
> solar panels require massive amounts of coal to produce

I'm would prefer to not derail this thread (as I really wanted to focus on the existing economic solutions for industry transitions), but this is patently false and can be determined as such with 5 minutes of using a search engine with terms around solar EROEI (energy return on energy invested) and the electrical generation mix of grids where solar panels are produced.

Yeah it's completely focused on app environments, so it's not a replacement for a password manager. That said, there's nothing stopping you from storing passwords in an EnvKey app and treating it as a very simple password manager. One benefit is that it would be very easy to manage your passwords programmatically in various ways if you had a need for that.
