The 'killer app' I see here initially would be highly streamlined chatbots who specialize on providing details exactly like these and little else. City-specific dialog trees along with neighborhood & restaurant-specific ones. Things that are harder to search for on your phone.

These might be expensive to develop (one of the keys would be determining all the fields you'd want a restaurant manager/employee to fill out, and which are required vs. optional), but as in so many other cases, with scaling I could see it being popular and profitable.

As far as just having someone to talk with, though, I'm afraid chatbots will likely remain less than ideal for a while yet. "Tell me an interesting story about this place" is more of something one or two people could realistically provide several responses on for all future customers. A lot of places already print stuff like that on their menus. Of course, then you need additional humans for vetting the stories... it wouldn't be cheap, but it seems doable.

eta: You'd want to vary the voice style used if possible and/or find other ways to make a room of 20+ people interacting with these things not sound annoying as hell too, of course.

I think the choice not to label this a cult is inappropriate moderation, considering how it's classified by numerous groups, the fact that it has a leader known for serial sexual abuse, etc. Cult fits, calling it a "religious sect" is a pretty big attack on religion.

Drones are slow and not heavily armored. It seems like a shot gun would be good enough to take them down before they got close enough to hurt your tank. While they are doing a good job now it wouldn't surprise me if anti drone counter measures are easy\quick to develop.
The interface looks usually nice, but input=date is horrible to manipulate in many implementations.

On iOS choosing year/month is the rolodex interface, as slow and clunky as usual, especially if you’re flipping it for 40~60 years.

On android it moves month by month at most, so it’s even funnier to swipe for decades.

I think the type=number alternative with validation + confirmation text with the month in letters is a better choice.
Robinhood's PR team is doing an admirable job at trying to control these comments but the fact of the matter is that Robinhood's net margins are -200%. A random kid selling lemonade on the street and occasionally getting robbed has better margins than HOOD.

There is no single piece of science fiction I despise more than this story.
I got really into daily fantasy at the height of the boom: you make a fantasy football lineup and enter it into paid contests. For big leagues like the NFL you can potentially win millions of dollars (but there are tons and tons of players and lots of 'pros' that do it full-time).

But for the past several years, I have been only playing niche sports: specifically Canadian football (CFL). It's way smaller stakes but the competition is much easier and I've written my own analytics tools so I have a nice edge compared to NFL where there is tons and tons of high quality content and analysis. I've profited over $20k during the past three seasons.
Can you offer examples at different levels of government where red tape accurately predicted the cost of the red tape? Not hypotheticals, but actual rules.

An adjacent question is when governments predict the cost of a particular program. I always say when that occurs their prediction is actually a floor and the program is going to actually cost prediction+.

The truth about “time out”
True, but we are not talking about a two man company or a historic trust fund in southern France. We talk about an US shareholder company which leadership (do not be nitpicky) can be sued for by shareholders by not doing the best for their money.

And law indeed differs... But everywhere someone will be made responsible for not getting the best for their buck (the simplest case: being fired).

That applies to FAANGMxyz and also the rest of the top 500 shareholder companies.

On the Golborne Link, I think they had a fair bit of help from the NIMBYs too
The underlying Dynamo architecture is great, and original Facebook and community releases did deliver on the overall promises. Unfortunately the implementations suffered, partly because of the language and baggage from Java and from the execution model.

Scylla using C++ helped in bringing the low-level planning and development experience that is common in that area (and harder to do in Java), but also the ability to use all the low-level libraries like DPDK and advanced threading/reactor systems (like the underlying Seastar framework that Scylla made).

The opensource Cassandra versions are now implementing the same model, although still using Java.
One bone is no more sacred than another. So, from that PoV, I think archeology should come up with some guidelines as to how to treat human archeological sites evenly rather than having a mish-mash of different rules for different bones.
Fair enough, I assumed wrong since this is HN.

The hospitality industry already fills this role. Bartenders, host/hostess clubs (Japan), strip clubs, escort services. There are plenty of ways to essentially pay for companionship.

Chatbot tech might be mature but the physical robots never look anywhere near convincing. Maybe a face on a screen but...we all have smartphones. The restaurant provides no value in that chain.

If you're lonely, I'd suggest picking up a group-oriented hobby. You could try joining a local pick-up sports league, join a birding group, power walking club, gardening, you name it.
These days any apps or framework written rust seems exotic.

Atleast both are better than electron.
You act as if any public company doesn’t use open source more as marketing than anything else. Famously Google bragged about Android being “open” and then they slowly started moving anything that made Android “Android” to most people closed source.

As far as .Net being Windows only. MS doesn’t care about Windows anymore. It cares more about Azure, services, Office etc. There are more Linux instances on Azure than Windows instances.
Still negative but at least better than before if you are a saver.
I cannot believe anyone in these comments is defending Facebook on this.

Should the hospitals have been better so this sensitive data doesn't get to Facebook? Yes.

But we cannot excuse the privacy invasive practices of Facebook and Google (I would be shocked if google was not also getting this data somehow).

And this is not just hospital data, it is certain sensitive apps (I really don't need or want Facebook to know every time I open Grindr), nearly every single thing we do these companies find a way to find out because they weasel their way in by offering some helpful feature that a developer would want to use.

Yes! How awesome is it that we've got companies like AMD, Intel, Nvidia, ARM, Apple + TSMC for M series, and others who are cranking out awesome products?

Lack of cheap energy seems like a very good reason. It remains to be proven if renewables snd nuclear will really be able to replace cheap oil when pish cones to shove, and parts of the overall process aren't supported by oil indirectly.
Probably, they want you to download their report which requires a work email nad personal details.
Yes electric ovens, hobs, kettles, water heaters, evs all use much more power.

It's crazy to me that Australia hasn't gone for renewables though. The amount of land and sun they have, it's also decentralised, so when (climate induced?) Floods happen, they don't take out all the generating capacity. Plus even if they aren't convinced about climate change, that just frees up more fossil fuels to export.
I think the issue I see people running into here is the "all or nothing" approach to handling these problems.

To start, classifying the restaurant by its customers expectations is important. The experience of dining at Panera Bread[0], for instance would be radically improved by ripping out all of the touch screens at the front-end and moving them to the tables.

For dine-in customers in that kind of restaurant, I'd rather sit down knowing "I have a table" before ordering my food. Too often it's packed and by the time I have my food there's no place to sit. I also have extra time to fool around with their inadequate software without feeling like I'm holding up the line/getting ripped off because I'm not ordering "correctly"[1].

For take-out customers, I'm not competing with all of those dine-in people either in the food line or the check-out line, they're sitting at their tables waiting for their tablet to notify them to come up and grab their stuff from the window.

At more full-service "chain restaurants" where the customers might revolt at giving up the server, a tablet can be used to allow the customer to signal for drink refills, pay the bill and handle parts of the job the server usually handles allowing servers to cover more tables and customers to not play the look for our guy/gal and try to get their attention for my coffee game. I hate ordering on tablets ... hate it ... but the tablet is a useful way to advertise add-ons. I never plan on it but I'm often pulled in when I see something chocolate-brownie-with-ice-cream-like pass by. I rarely order it, though, because it never coincides with when the server is there and by the time they're back, I'm over it. However, if a tablet were available for me to spontaneously add an item, I'd be more likely to do so. I'm not saying that's a good thing for my health, but I'd be a happier customer. I usually leave the restaurant wishing the server had come back sooner to "double-check" that I really didn't want desert. It's not their fault.

Take the server away, entirely, at those restaurants and I'll stop going. I'd rather just have it delivered. But put the tech in the right places and staff, the business and the customer can benefit.

No, I don't sell these things or do anything in relation to that kind of business ... realized this kind of sounded really in favor of the tech and while I am in favor of what it can do and I have seen a handful of solid implementations, I've seen it done wrong and worsening the customer experience far more than I've seen it done right. Maybe my tastes are off?

[0] It is a cross between fast food and a cafe. You order at either a digital device or a person, standing in line for both in the morning, then you stand in line for your food, grab it and (possibly) find a table.

[1] I always appreciate when I go into a new fast-ish-food place, order a few things and the person behind the counter says "I can save you a buck if we use this combo, instead". Most of the software for these restaurants are terrible at such basic things.
Have you tried this in practice? It is extremely awkward to pick a date of birth using a regular date picker. It is worse than all the options mentioned in the article. It is only appropriate for picking dates close to the current date.
For side projects intended to generate income, base it on market research.

- Ensure there's demand. Go on google and type in your problem or solution, are there a lot of results and ads? If yes, there is demand. If the top results are poorly made blogs with only adsense for monetization, there might be a problem. If there are literally no competitors, drop the idea immediately.

- No moat. For solos your priorities are inverted to VCs, pick a market that's easy to attack with lots of competitors where you can be the 50th. Ideally the market is somewhat niche, so it will be overlooked by larger companies.

- It's hard to compete with big companies as one person, but you can turn weakness into strength by offering a product that is simpler and easier to use (ie. fewer features) unbundle instead of bundle.

A great way to find these niches is through the "free tools" section of large websites. This means it's a niche they're using for lead gen and seo purposes. eg: https://www.shopify.com/tools https://www.wordstream.com/wordstream-graders https://www.hubspot.com/resources/tool

Micro black hole was explicitly mentioned as a possible cause, though you're right: the author also said the cause didn't matter.

I guess that happens when you try to fit everything in 100 seconds.

How is Microsoft reducing your ability? No functionality got behind a paywall. On contrary, the VS Code plugin will actually get much better because of this effort - you can read the authors of OmniSharp clearly stating this[0], links are in the comments above. Microsoft spends a lot of money to bring you free experiences. Then it has the business on top of that where it offers better experience. Nothing different to what JetBrains does in this regard. Except that this fuels how you are able to fund the free experience in the first place.

Nice story. Laws and regulations are broken all the time, but only used/prosecuted very rarely when the circumstances are egregious and the parties are pissed. E.g. violent criminals in jail have committed 10-30x more violent crimes than the single one they have been convicted for. Similarly most minor infractions go completely unnoticed and unreported because no one cares. The laws are are there to make things prosecutable and punishable. But they are not there. You can operate many businesses completely outside the law without running into any problems as long as you are courteous, unnoticed, and do no harm. You respect the laws in spirit, but not in practice. E.g. you don't do all the paper work, but you also are a good citizen and respect the rules in spirit if not in practice.

The thread started by whimsicalism stating that Russian was banned in Ukraine, and I replied that it had a status similar to French or German in the US.

Nobody has ever banned a language by allowing printing in it, allowing grades up to 4 to be taught in it, allowing secondary schools to teach it as a subject, and allowing private groups to continue teaching it as a primary language.
Most tickets are "scalped" these days, either by credit card companies, the artist themselves, the venue, etc... A minority of tickets are sold through the normal retail channel these days.
Being devils advocate, there are other languages and ecosystems significantly more open than .NET.

Microsoft has a stranglehold not just on the language, but the runtime, build tools, and even the most popular frameworks to do anything useful. And they have shown multiple times how management decisions from various business units at Microsoft can be applied unilaterally to their ecosystem.

I'm also confused by the "non-trivial ecosystem" goal posts here.
What you describe is the exact reason we should question your very premise. "For example, let's say that to do some specific the law says a degree is required."

Why is the government in the business of requiring degrees for financial transactions? Maybe that's valid for a doctor, but it's certainly not valid for a hair dresser.

I've seen some US government forms use

[01] [Jan] [1970]

where

[01]: one- or two-digit day, typed manually
[Jan]: three-letter month, picked from a dropdown
[1970]: four-digit year, typed manually

I think this is a good (the best?) presentation.

By using a manual day entry instead of providing a dropdown, as the programmer you can avoid requiring client-side logic to restrict the number of days displayed in the dropdown based on the chosen month and year (e.g. 31 for Jan., 28/29 for Feb., etc.).

Having the month represented in letters, not numbers, minimizes the chances of user confusion between `dd-mm` and `mm-dd` presentations.

The year presentation matches the one in the OP article.
