> Taxi business need to reflect.

They don't have to reflect, politicians work hard day and night to ensure there is never any competition.
To what extent could you manipulate every financial market if you had trillions? That's called central banking.
Oranges. Lots of oranges.

Fun fact, ISO 8601 used to allow 24:00:00 notation (as a synonym of 00:00:00), but in the latest version of the standard it does not.
I think the value proposition with stuff like Spotify is different. a.) there are still services where you can own your copy of the music, there is still - at least some semblance of - consumer choice. b.) the amount and variety of music I listen to on Spotify and pay per month is WAY more than paying for individual songs (at least personally)
When driverless cars hit the road, my family will become a 1 car family (instead of 3). This is going to impact a lot of parking garages and other businesses.
This seems no different than Intel manufacturing fewer distinct things and using CPU locking to sell at more price points.

It’s cheaper to physically put the functionality in all the cars than to differentiate at assembly time. We don’t have the same visceral reaction to paying for options at the dealer.

(I am assuming they aren’t adding this charge RETROACTIVELY. That’s very different)
Look those words up in the dictionary and they won’t have the diacritics, except as an alternative spelling. They’re loan words, and it’s a stylistic choice.

Ask 95% of laymen to write those words and there will be no diacritics, and the language is defined by its users.
> If you really don’t want to burn fossil fuels, a $1000 bafang mid drive ebike kit can turn a regular bicycle into a hill crushing monster and can be installed with almost no specialized tools.

I love electric bikes and want to install the bafang kit myself, but lets keep things in perspective - it's not gonna get my pregnant wife to the hospital.
I think they're suggesting a scenario where your Gmail is regularly down.

That's not butchering, it means that the places you list have been sufficiently relevant to speakers of the language in question at the time spelling stabilized to have their own name. The phrase "Mailand oder Madrid" isn't famous for it not being "Milano oder Madrid".
Reading threads about Uber I have realized that I probably have traveled only to cities where you do not need taxi. I've used taxi less that 10 times in my life and Uber 0. Most Airports I have visited were serviced by train.
Find a user group, hobbyist group, or consortium in that domain and ask them for their recommendations. Domain search technology is great but nothing can beat asking someone or some group that has been using the niche product for years.
My personal experience is that it's been cheaper than a taxi, drivers have been nice, cars show up quickly, and the app makes it easier than telling someone on the phone, who may have trouble understanding me, where to go.

However my personal experiences have no value in a discussion of this leak. It's irrelevant whether consumers likes a companies product when discussing rules and regulations.
> What would the illegal part be in this instance?

I don't know exactly what country they're located in, but I'm assuming that filming yourself unlocking random peoples car in the wild can be classified as breaking into something, especially if a corporation would like to hide a story and have government contacts they can engage in the silencing.

I don't see anything wrong with what they did, they went above and beyond to test Honda's systems for Honda, in exchange for nothing. But I do worry about courts not being as technically adept as me, and not seeing it like this.
Does anyone know of any nice CLI/TUI ldap browsing tools?

ldapsearch is horrible to use for browsing. Apache Directory Studio is a giant Java application with an overcomplex UI, and falls over as soon as you want to use Kerberos (at least, if you want to re-use the TGT that the user got when they logged in, instead of providing their credentials directly to Apache DS so that it can get its own TGT via JGSS or whatever).

I know of shelldap, which is OK. But what I'd really like is a sort of Finder like UI where the path of entries is represented by columns, and the attributes of the currently selected entry are displayed in the final column, or the pane below.
Uber took over my local airport, a 100$ fare home now costs $200+ when, as you'd expect, a plane load of people call for an Uber all at once. 'Surge pricing'.

Now there's a rank for exactly FIVE (count em FIVE) taxis, a 15 minute walk from the terminal exit and a line a couple hundred meters long for the bus. This isn't a small regional airport. This is the international/domestic airport for a city of 5 million people.

Absolute madness and just another point of frustration I have to endure now when travelling.
My personal experience recently. Needed a taxi to the airport. Opened uber, it said about £90, which seemed a bit expensive. Tried a local minicab company, there were no cars. Opened uber again, the price had gone up to about £150. Tried another local company, they were there within 10 mins and wanted £60. Opened uber again, the price had gone up to about £250.
Oh I agree with that. I've seen people in tears after editors have finished with going through their work. You don't need to be nasty of course but you do need to be merciless.
One publications strange style guide does not a language make.
The idea was that it would be immune to nation states playing fiscal games, but the digital currencies seem to be following the stock markets behavior more closely than things like gold, which seems to imply that isn't the case?

Anonymous currencies for purchasing things that are illegal in the jurisdiction of the seller and/or buyer certainly have a value, but more as a service than a currency, so I wouldn't expect to make money sitting on coins. Instead I'd expect the payoff to be for buying them from the illegal sellers to sell to the illegal buyers. Essentially, being a launderer with possibly lower risk and less effort than in the past.
> What do all of the people who want to work with *nix in their infrastructure, but also want to utilize AD and LDAP use?

FreeIPA. A trust between the FreeIPA domain and AD means that AD users can log into Unix systems, it's great.
Spaceship might (Elon time) fly this August.
This is an example of insufficient abstraction.

Postgresql can store the data in any order, and I expect it to do so when it clearly makes sense to do so, such as this.
I would if it didn't mean I might have to use taxis.

The taxi experience has been so consistently horrible I'd rather walk if I could. My favorite is the routine of pretending the credit card machine is broken and trying to get me to stop at an ATM so they can get cash. Had one actually threaten to call the cops on me for not paying if I didn't do that after pretending the credit card machine was broken. Refused to drop the ruse.

Of course I must admit that most of these bad experiences were in San Francisco, a city of passive aggressiveness all the way down from the top. I have to admit that taxi experiences in New York and Boston were better, though the latter was kind of stupid expensive. Experiences in medium sized cities like Cincinnati have been hit or miss.

Everything related to transportation sucks. Most airlines suck, airports suck, train systems are incompetently run, buses are slow, cars are expensive, taxis are corrupt, Uber is abusive, and... well... I guess bikes are dangerous and horses smell.
> I have not been able to find a laptop without Bitlocker enabled by default since the Windows 8.1 era

We use HP Pro/Elite Desk/Book at work. They arrive with Windows 10 Pro and with BitLocker disabled. They have had a TPM and everything for many years, now. Latest such PC I've seen was manufactured in February 2022 (Elitebook 840 G8).

> But in any case, the problem is that Microsoft itself should be required to face these problems; under no circumstance should it be that by default MS gets their signatures to work for free but everyone else needs to have extra UI to manage them.

The thing is that if the PC comes with Windows pre-installed, then the certificates should be enrolled. But if not, maybe there shouldn't be any certificate? I guess my point is that it's unreasonable to expect a manufacturer to ship a computer with a bunch of certificates. I'd even say that it wouldn't be that secure.
> while Asians tended to be more risk-averse

that teacher should visit china someday; people aren't afraid to take risks when it comes to entrepreneurship... and japan in the bubble days was quite wild with all kinds of risk taking as well...
I would argue every country hiding a few nukes is better than the current situation with over 13,000 nukes.
I suspect you're right — until one of the big players decided to shut you down.
I'm not a fan of and don't own any crypto, but in fairness Matt Levine points out that joint stock companies were mostly scams for ~a century and ended up changing the world. Just because something doesn't reveal its value for even 100+ years doesn't mean it doesn't actually have value. That said you might be dead before it materializes.
Know how to maximize budget.
68 GB ? Just ? Shouldn’t that be some 10-15 1-2 TB SSD in parallel ?
You're asking me about a company policy I had no part in. But why? Lol what does that achieve? Making you look clever on the internet? Concern trolling?

If there's no point in anything and nothing is ever achieved then why does anyone spend time and money on getting an education and including it in their resume? Maybe there is a point and something is achieved after all.

EDIT:
>How do you evaluate self-taught and people with no degrees?

I don't, I literally just told you company policy is Jr candidates must have an accredited degree.

I have no idea what nonsense you're rambling on about. The question was who is checking degree accreditation and that's what I answered.
Japan’s taxi companies just banded together and made an Uber like app to call taxies (including paying ahead, so you know exactly what it’s going to cost).

I never need to take an uber any more. The cars and drivers are all professional, and they’re often closer than any Uber.

They (Uber) solved it by completely dominating the food delivery landscape with Uber Eats.
> Office designers on the European continent have come up with an ingenious invention for this: Individual offices!

Where did you get this idea from?

At best, companies have team rooms that hosts 5-8 people but not individual offices.
How do you make the site so fast? I am genuinely shocked at how fast each click loads (even first-click). I see some docusaurous and mdx mentions in the source as well as react components, but I am curious how you make it so speedy?
Not necessarily. The police don't automatically have access to everything when they kick down a door. The warrant needs to state explicitly what they're after.

If the data specified by the warrant is suddenly and intentionally encrypted then they still have to provide that data or argue the obstruction angle in front of a judge. Just because a company is incorporated doesn't mean they lose all rights.
Where would be the pipeline, though? The pump&dumper doesn't spend time working on individual buyers here, do they?
It's still baffling why businesses wouldn't want employees to work from home
Tethered, wheel and tubes are all the same thing. The minimal setup is one habitat tethered to an equal weight. As you add habitats, you eventually end up with a wheel. If you stack these wheels, you end up with a tube.
Because the justice and law enforcement systems serve mostly to protect the interests of propertied class. I'm only being half-hyperbolical.
ON a modern car you only add oil changes until you get to 100k miles. Oil changes are fast and cheap.

Except for air conditioning - unless you mean the air filter the air conditioner should NEVER need maintenance - if you do maintenance it means an environmental disaster - they are closed systems and so the only time you service them is if they lost the Freon.
It is the point, it is like arguing to switch away from Spectrum, C64, Atari, Amiga, Acorn,.... back in the day.

PC only got out of control, because Compaq was clever on their reverse engineering process, and IBM failed to uphold their ownership.
Uber (and many other companies I suspect) have really dubious practices, but the core of their success is tied to how taxis worked before.

Too much regulation and a generally awful experience for users.

I used Taxis less than 10 times in my life ant it was almost always too expensive and frankly unpleasant.

I honestly despised Taxis and wanted this old system to die, I don't think my case is an outlier.

Regulation is always a two edged sword, in this case I think it created an opportunity for disruption.
Sounds like free market is working. Demand goes up so does the price. Everyone wins. Hopefully the drivers get better price and the consumer can choose if they want a ride or not.
Well many corporations are terrible, but there are underlying issues as well (from a US standpoint anyway) such as a litigious society, companies must be guarded in communications around terminations as the employees may sue and any communications will be used in court against the company, also providing "notice" which is different from severance is generally ill advised, I would encourage companies to provide severance packages, but rarely "notice", specifically in a highly sensitive roles like Sysadmin or Dev. as the number of storied around data and IP sabotage and theft are pretty well known, severance softens the blow economically for the outgoing employee(s) while protecting the company.

There are many other things as well
Latency is 1h 20m one way (1.5M km / 300_000 km/s)?

EDIT: got my units wrong, see further down the thread.
The problem with AB testing is that it's a short-term strategy. For example, if a news site runs AB testing with headlines, they'll find that bullshit clickbait headlines get more pageviews than concise, accurate headlines, but the constant use of clickbait headlines will over time destroy overall traffic to your site. More frustratingly, sites run by smart people tend to fall into a balance where the worst articles get the most alluring headlines.
I wouldn't be shocked if this true, mirrorless is the future of photography whether you like it or not (but since this is Verge...)

Edit: Nikkei is also reporting on this, so that makes it more believable.
It's not difficult to find diacritics in use outside the New Yorker, though generally not in that use. One exception would be the common spelling "naïve".
what ever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones..." ? perhaps its time to reconsider whether society has lost/is losing a very very important thing here.

If younger generations grow up thinking that a simple word is violence like we see some do, that it is akin to breaking out a knife and stabbing someone, how are they properly clothed to function in a world that isnt absolute perfect?

you know what generally happens to snowflakes? they melt. seriously, sticks and stones.
And charge by weight please. My motorcycle is not causing the road to have to be repaved every couple of years.

Sure .. does the effect correlate with both UV AND temp or have they ANOVA'd enough to say that that anything observed is predominently due to UV alone?
I think integrity in business has been steadily devalued by various crises and scandals (Enron, 2008, Worldcom) to the point that it sometimes seems quaint to even expect it anymore. Something similar seems to have happened with sponsored content - both influencers and celebrities have few qualms about using their name to sell the most questionable shit. Maybe it was always like this, but I don't recall there being so many celebrity ads when I was a teenager.
We’ve done all of that. Have you looked for it?
FFS, global war on workers? Really?

What's next, a global war on drugs, terror or poverty?
Having a car that nobody wants to steal is an effective theft prevention strategy
In my country, I get the opposite experience. Most Uber drivers are from Bangladesh and other faraway countries - and it would be great if they knew the local language. Sometimes they don't even speak English. They don't even own the cars they drive: they are farmed like animals, sleeping many people in one room etc. - and they have to give a part of their salary to people who brought them here. I feel sorry for them, and I really support the ones who drive UberEats, but when they start transporting people, it's a completely different story.The worst happens when they cause an accident, there are many videos of them running away. I don't blame them at all, I realize their life at home was even worse. But I blame the people who made this situation possible and put the lives of others at risk.
Ah, thanks for this link, it lead me to zounds[0] which is a super-fast multi-scale Turing pattern generator - zounds on this M1 is orders of magnitude quicker than Visions of Chaos on my 3080 (albeit at 1/4 the resolution.)

If companies continues adding more subscription options in more models it will make some aftermarket electronic modules, or simply jailbreak hacks, to bypass those locks. It happened already in the Tesla, and I don't think it will stop here.
I don't understand why people use grpc. There are better ways.
Where do you think the leak came from then? The executives?

What hope there is about this sort of thing comes from the fact that they can't quite yet do to us as a profession what they do to taxi drivers.
As a long time BMW buyer, the brand lost me when they floated this plan. The writing was on the wall: they see themselves as a lifestyle, not a car brand, and we'll see more desperate attempts to make consumers a subscription instead of a purchaser. Everyone wants to be Apple, which gets a feedline of subscription revenue from phone purchasers.

Note the odd logo change around this time as well (2020 or so), another sign of their attempts to "reinvent" themselves as a services company. https://bimmertips.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/BMW_logo_o... (via https://bimmertips.com/bmw-logo-history-origin/) in one picture, and BMW's take at https://www.bmw.com/en/automotive-life/bmw-logo-meaning-hist....

I miss the days when BMW just made really fun cars that I was willing to overpay for, helping my dealer and the factory stay profitable.

Huh.
I wouldn't get offended. They just don't understand what cultural appropriation is by the sound of things. Their problem, not yours.
> I always found it annoying that people are afraid to as much as fart if it might harm the economy.

its because its inherently political: if things go bad, regardless if its "the biz cycle" or rampant speculation and bubbles, the president (and/or political party) usually gets blamed for it... also most peoples retirements are tied up in the private markets now, so there is immense pressure to keep the returns flowing
If the warrant is to search your premises, you may not be obligated to decrypt your servers that automatically shut off on unauthorized entry.

Generally, but not always, a separate court order would be required to force you to decrypt your servers.
Thailand did the same, except they banded together to have overpriced fares (intended for tourists, the locals don't use the app)
Yes, that's generally true. Galaxies that are redshifted are moving very fast relative to us. But the only reason for them to be moving so fast is due to the expansion of the universe, and these galaxies being sufficiently far away.

The large white elliptical galaxies in the center of the image are in the "foreground", while the orange-ish galaxies are much farther away in the background. This is why the light from the more distant galaxies is curved and distorted by the foreground objects, creating the lensing effect that we see.
It's not really devil's advocate. It's no longer trivial and is increasingly less so, for random malware that has acquired high privileges to compromise the entire boot sequence.
The question is will customers stand for it. I know as a used car buyer I won't the subscription so that means the car doesn't have heated seats and is valued that way compared to a different car that does have it. In turn that means BMW is risking lower resale value, and resale is a factor in new car price.
Wake us up when someone invents one then, rather than a tool to assign all surplus trade value to capital holders.
Ask HN: Developer Workstation Backups
What is everyone using these days? I used to be a firm believer in Crashplan for both my Linux servers as well as my Mac development machines, but Crashplan really doesn't play well with all the new automatic syncing stuff that Apple has (like fetching copies of your images and files only when necessary) and Dropbox's intelligent sync things. On my Macs Crashplan is always mired in some high CPU activity and consuming disk space. And they stopped supporting Linux machines that don't have a graphical environment (yes I know all the tricks for managing it remotely and they're worse).

So long story short, what are people using to reliably backup their machines without a lot of fuss? Most services don't support Macs or they don't support Linux, or they don't do infinite revisions.
Yeah, most likely.

None the less, I'm also curious about the choice, but couldn't find a lot about it. There has to be some trade-off I guess to using LDPC instead of Reed-Solomon. I only found this paper, but haven't read through it, so no conclusion as of yet:

https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/bitstream/handle/2014/45387/08-1056...

> Efforts are underway in National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to upgrade both the S-band (nominal data rate) and the K-band (high data rate) receivers in the Space Network (SN) and the Deep Space Network (DSN) in order to support upcoming missions such as the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). These modernization efforts provide an opportunity to infuse modern forward error correcting (FEC) codes that were not available when the original receivers were built. Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are the state-of-the-art in FEC technology that exhibits capacity approaching performance. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has designed a family of LDPC codes that are similar in structure and therefore, leads to a single decoder implementation. The Accumulate- Repeat-by-4-Jagged-Accumulate (AR4JA) code design offers a family of codes with rates 1/2, 2/3, 4/5 and length 1024, 4096, 16384 information bits.1, 2 Performance is less than one dB from capacity for all combinations.

My guess at this point is probably just "We've used Reed-Solomon a bunch, we know it works. We're working on newer techniques, but lets use what we know works"
