> France made me pro-Uber. The taxis in Paris are arrogant, entitled and even bullies. I've seen them smoke in the car, refuse to turn down the radio, and other shenanigans. Not to mention they're often not around when you need them.

I'm… speechless… Can I ask how often and during which time period you took the Taxi in Paris? I've never had or even heard of such experience, I always had the same quality of service of Taxi in Paris as in Germany. (= very good quality) I'll admit that I just take it twice a year when I go visit my aunt. But my brother lived for 7 years in Paris in the 2000s, and I've never heard him complain outside of the price. I'm genuinely surprised by what you're saying (Yes I am a native french speaker), if you didn't have such a good comment history I would have assumed you were an Uber comment farm account.

> It’s up to the people in the jurisdiction to elect a chief who matches their viewpoint.

The chief of police is rarely an elected position (in most US jurisdictions). Sheriffs are typically elected, but that's an outlier in terms of law enforcement leadership positions.

> And it’s up to the individual living in that jurisdiction to choose an area that matches the enforcement they’d like to see.

It seems likely you have a pretty narrow view on the world if you think everyone (or even the majority of folks) have the resources to choose where they live based on that criteria.

In my book, a party that set up the Atomausstieg, after campaigning on the topic for a decade, after grossly overstating the potential dangers of nuclear, while supporting grassroots anti-nuclear groups and engaging in borderline criminal protests that often endangered nuclear transports doesn't get to play coy once the shit hits the fan in my book.

Let's respectfully disagree here.
Often the papers are doing the same, they're taking the information from a third-party that actually did the journalism.

Yes, there's value in aggregation, which is why tech news sites mostly just use Reddit to harvest stories from a week or so after they appear. IMO that's very low value.

If the "news" sites wanted to encourage reward for sources they could start by attributing every story and indicating who they paid and the originator of the factual data. Truly though most of them would seemingly rather we paid them whilst they just regurgitate a social news site.
Huh, but there is no 1 second gap between 23:59:59 and 00:00:00. The time is 23:59:59 for a whole second, and then once that second is done, the time is 00:00:00 the next day.
That is if you call them layoffs.

A big co announced to its employees 2 weeks before their assessment that the percentage of employees that will need “improvement” increased from 3% to 10%, and that this year they will offer in lieu payments for those who do not want to do the “improvement program”.

So there you go, 10% with 2 weeks notice.
> There can't possibly be retail moving in and out of this stuff.

There’s a couple different angles with these coins. First, there’s plain old hype where regular people see XX% gains in a day and jump in. There’s also groups that decide ahead of time to do coordinated pumps, which helps feed into the hype. There’s also a LOT of bots that follow these trends and also ones that simply gamble by buying up some amount of a coin the instant it appears on Uniswap et al, with the assumption that it’ll probably pump at least a bit in the short term.
No, they will be worse off than serfs. Serfs could still grow their own food (though of course they had to pay tribute to the landlord) and they had way more festivals and days off.

This, so much. There are a few Youtube channels I used to follow, that over time degraded into shameless shilling for completely irrelevant (to the channel) crap, and sometimes outright infomercials. I've tried engaging with the channel owners on this, and they literally don't understand what you're talking about.

These people started out passionately showing stuff they do in their garage, and now don't understand the concept of NOT doing everything 100% for the money. Shilling, scamming, it's all the new normal to these people.

> Progressive thinking is "Maybe we shouldn't let businesses set the rules for how they treat employees?"

Right, so make regulators get off their asses and start draft up some reasonable regulations where workers can work freely like they can with uber and mechanical turk? Just banning that sort of freedom entirely is conservative thinking, since it aims to preserve the shitty situation we have where everyone needs to have a "job". Today people can't even imagine a society where you don't have a job, you just go and do things that are useful and get rewarded the full fruit of your labour, that sort of thing is possible with Ubers offerings and a bit of regulations, why go all in on preventing that future from happening?

Uber works great for users, we know that. Uber would also work great for drivers if the drivers got a larger cut. So what is the problem, just regulate it and everything gets better than under the old Taxi systems. Why is this so hard to imagine? And no, this is not over regulating at all, at least not more than for example limiting how many Taxi's are allowed to operate in the city etc which is already happening.

Anyone a bit better informed would be skeptical and the arguments are on the table for years now. The gas problem is about heating which nuclear energy could only supply indirectly with a low grade of efficiency. Germany, for example, only ever had 6% nuclear energy at its height. You can pretty clearly identify populists that now propose to change course. It would minimally easy the burden, perhaps, but there are more efficient alternatives.

"People will die" from this mistake is hysteria. Nobody informed about the energy problems will take that seriously. Gas is not electrical power to start with.
Still trying to figure out the regulatory package and how to deal with it. Just a few weeks ago Lummis released her major bill for oversight that she'd been working on for some months (maybe even a year or more). It's a fine line; no one wants regulators to move too fast and kill an industry (okay, maybe with crypto some people would argue it never should exist as it adds no value and is just a big scam but I mean in general when considering new regulations), but too slow and things have gotten out of hand and consumers can be hurt. I also think that regulators just didn't take crypto all that seriously for a long while and it just wasn't on people's radar and/or a big enough issue to be dealt with compared to all the other regulatory issues that crop up.
Ask HN: A Pragmatic Guide to Web Dev
Hey folks,

I started work as a consultant roughly half a year ago, and in doing so, have found myself pulled into more and more web development projects.

Although it isn't really my area of expertise, I've been happy to provide support for the poor overworked tech leads involved, and would like to build out a better understanding of the State of the Art.

It doesn't matter how many people you send to Mars, you cannot live there. See the videos by Common Sense Skeptic.

Mars (and Venus) do not have a magnetosphere to protect you from radiation. The gravity is the wrong amount, so your bones will dissolve. Mars itself is poisonous.

Write down every aspect of living someplace that you need: gravity, water, temperature, lack of radiation, etc. and in every way Antarctica is as nice or better than Mars. I don't see people clamoring to live in Antarctica.

One nice feature of Antarctica: if you want to go home, you can do so in a normal ship: no space ship required.

One could easily get the impression that the HN crowd find it hard to empathize with the service worker.

HN is obviously not a hive mind, but in in general, for facets of the HN crowd, the investor class, those with conservative/libertarian views on labor, business owners, etc. the default view is simply to not empathize with the service worker.

Presumably, if you can't touch the bootloader & the device has BitLocker enabled, then you can't even get into the OS unless you either (A) know the user's password, or (B) have an exploit that can be triggered from the lock screen.
Nice to hear that, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that people who actually live there might be less concerned about a hypothetical reclaim than people hundreds of kilometers away. If you only know it from the map (well, that's also me) that's a what-if not rooted in reality one way or the other at all.
Article didn't really cover this but do you still have to pay more for a car that has the heated seats and steering wheel options and then a monthly fee to use them or do all the target cars in SK come with these features standard? If you have to pay more just to have the option of paying to turn on the subscription then that is insane.

I can't speak to Vaadin, but adopting GWT was a huge mistake at my old company. We bought into the promise that you didn't need front-end developers or retrain on front-end tech, you can just use Java that you know and love!

As it turns out, if you want to create a great front-end, you need to know javascript & css. You need to understand the difference between what is running on the client and what runs on the server. Corner cases which are super easy to fix with web-tooling turn into an impossible slog of trying to figure out how to get GWT do what you want it to do.

GWT interfaces are famously brittle ugly huge monoliths that send a million AJAX requests that are almost impossible to debug or optimize. There are no separations of concern. There's no defined "API".

It's like having nobody on your team know SQL and only ever use an ORM. At some point you need to break the layer of abstraction.

Maybe you're using a custom theme that introduces buggy behaviour?
All of the examples you gave are wrong (as in, bad behaviour, rather than incorrect!) but it's worth noting that they are tactics similar to those employed by many other groups seeking to create pressure in other situations - including by taxi drivers fighting against the ride-sharing companies.

Demonstrations, blocking streets, keeping stories in the press - all time -honoured tactics. I guess the outrage here is a private for-profit organsation adopting such behaviour more usually associated with political parties and pressure groups?

I think you hit on it in your last paragraph. There is no one "master programmer" and, despite job postings to the contrary, no one is an expert in the "full stack."

After 25 years at this, I'd say get good at the parts you are naturally interested in. Are you attracted to UI? Does big data get you excited? What part of the enormous spectrum of CS really resonates with you? Become an expert in that.
The fact is that TikTok is currently superior to other apps in terms of user engagement. As a consumer, I understand that a business simply exists to generate profit, and while I can and do benefit from this pursuit of profit, our relationship remains adversarial; consequently, my allegiance is mercenary. TikTok is the best product, so I use it.

I wonder why U.S. firms pay U.S. senators to loosen data privacy laws, such that they can compete with TikTok. U.S. firms seem to think that the cost changing privacy laws is greater than the cost of paying news outlets to turn public opinion against a business rival.

more people then ever

More people than ever maybe, but that is a tiny fraction of the number of cars, at least in the U.S. It is like saying more people than ever are turning vegetarian/vegan. Yes, it is true, but it is still a miniscule number in the grand scheme of things, and the the change is way too slow/small to have any real impact, at least in my life time.

I love Jetbrains products, it was irritating when they went subscription model. Tableau did the same. I guess it is just a matter of time before everyone started doing it, both in digital and real world. Next would be what? 10 bucks for my washing machine that I own, $10 for my fridge, $10 for my air conditioning, stove, vacuum cleaner...

I don't know how we can fight back. They will keep pushing and pushing trying to eek out every possible cent. There are products we can simply stop using, but cars (at least in the U.S) are much difficult to avoid, outside of cities like NYC. Much of the country is built for cars

It is really good, a whole run is between 1h - 2h so can be played while commuting for example.

The only downside I can find is that you can't really rest/recharge like in some more traditional roguelikes, you always have to go forward, whatever the cost and your character health. That can be quite punishing if the run took a wrong turn earlier, you don't really have a second chance (unless you get some really good artifact/card randomly), but this is balanced by the fact that the runs are quite short.
I'm more uncomfortable with how willing people are to sound insightful for caring about workers, and then end the thought there, without ever asking if they were treated any better as taxi drivers. (Usually no -- at least the in the US, they used the "independent contractor" trick and it was much harder to come on and off shifts.)
> there's talk on a page referenced by your link about "Device Encryption" (as opposed to Drive encryption) which is activated when the PC is joined to a domain.

Device encryption, disk encryption, and Bitlocker are actually the same thing. The reason is that Windows Home doesn't have "Bitlocker" which means it can't do external (aka non-boot) disk encryption, so they call the resulting feature "Device encryption", but it's still Bitlocker.

My only guess is that you didn't login with a Microsoft account, since it is a requirement and "you don't use Windows". But obviously, the majority of people do login with a Microsoft account, and judging from HP's own support page plus the amount of people I can google claiming to have lost their recovery keys on the same laptop model you have ... I'm quite sure it is enabled by default.

Before you commented, I thought "there is nothing in this world an MBA can't make worse" was a bit too harsh. Now, I see it's actually accurate.
Which is why A/B testing is an important part of the UX toolkit. It's a tool among others, and is one way to validate assumptions. A good UX designer will try to base their designs on data and reasonable hypotheses drawn from the data, but a new design or flow is necessarily based on some amount of assumptions, so it requires validation.

That said, an A/B test does not tell you why something didn't work. You can make further assumptions based on the results and develop new hypotheses, but it never tells you why. Typically you would do some kind of qualitative UX research on a prototype or even static concepts beforehand to identify these kinds of issues before you even expend the effort to do a live A/B test. Far cheaper to do a study with 6-12 people and a prototype than to build out a full, functioning A/B test experience.

It's possible the flow they created was generally better but perhaps it had one fatal flaw. Perhaps that flaw could easily be remedied once identified.

A/B testing is just one small part of a good UX process.
