> These low cost carriers have determined that having a clean plane is not important to their revenue, and so they don't.

Another perspective is these low cost carriers have determined sufficient passengers in their target market are not willing or able to pay sufficiently higher prices to have that level of cleaning before each flight.
You're putting the cart before the horse. Exploration is cool BECAUSE it's risky. If it were a walk in the park it would just be data entry.
I feel the same. Coming of age in the late 1990s OOP was all the rage and while I found a lot of it interesting and useful, it created a lot of its own problems and the solution was often just "more oop" in the form of design patterns and such. Meanwhile I always preferred composition over inheritance and templates made a lot more sense to me than crazy object hierarchies ever did.

I almost actually considered leaving programming in the mid 2000s but then I started seeing the tide slowly turn away from OOP, or at least I found voices that agreed that OOP is not the only answer and I felt a sense of relief. Then as latency became a more and more important thing in algo trading, it eventually fell out of favor almost entirely.

But yeah, OOP has a place but it really went overboard for awhile and there was jiggawatts of brainpower spent on trying to make it work when straight C or other approaches would have worked much better- and with much more grokable code!

I'm sorry, but isn't the highlight of your problem is that you did not separate TOTP with any service that depends on it, including BW?
Good one. Can you work in a "T" after PINO?
I host my side project / "e-commerce" business on a tiny $3/year VPS (found using lowendbox), it only receives bytes (119 to be exact) from the mobile app each time it's used.

Frontend is that handcrafted artisanal static HTML hosted on CloudFlare Pages, and simple button for checkout to Shopify/Stripe/whatever.

The damn licensing for publishing my iOS app costs more than my entire infrastructure. Stay lean!

Honestly, I should simply move to "serverless" ala AWS Lambda, but probably won't until (if) things go gangbusters.

I don't think GP's attitude was stupid, though I do think your response was (sorry).

For those of us who have always known planes are filthy and not wiped down, we carry a sanitizing wet wipe.

Btw it's not just low cost carriers, the dirtiest planes I've found are the larger carriers.

Your health is your responsibility foremost. Later in life you'll find noone else is looking out for you more than you.

TLDR: sanitize key objects before touching or your hands after if you're that concerned. TV remotes in hotels, trays in planes, after touching gas pumps etc.

I travel 17 hours by car for the same reasons, plus the freedom of having my car when I'm there. I also often bring things with me, or back with me, that I wouldn't be able to do on a plane (like a kayak).

If you have people to visit along the way, that makes it a no-brainer IMO.

Most classroom teachers in the U.S. don’t need to sell because they are either employed at public schools (attendance is compulsory), or at private schools (selling is handled by the school administration).

In the long run, online learning will probably become dominated by the equivalent of private schools: companies that hire great teachers and, separately, great marketers to build audiences.

Or look it at this way: Nonprofit authors don’t generally design their own book covers. They work with a publisher who does that. Why should teachers try to design their own YouTube thumbnails?

(On the flip side, if you highly value your independence as a sole proprietor, then yeah, expect that you’ll have to put on the marketing hat sometimes).

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 6 years ago. I spontaneously developed hypothyroidism after a tetanus shot, so my thyroid was under supervision for 5 years prior. The main thing I took away from research and from my doctor, was that the imaging has advanced so much because people want to see high quality ultra sounds of their babies that it's simply just diagnosed more. It's also very slow spreading and not uncommon for someone to have thyroid cancer when they die.

There's probably other environmental factors, radiation, diet, etc going on too.
Glad you made it back from the retreat to tell us the other half of the story.

Joking. I'm curious what the answers will be. OP doesn't strike me as oblivious to what an MBA is about, or as a "tech dork with no people skills who sneers at any MBA they meet"... Although I wonder how many hugely successful companies were founded by people like that.
> My interpretation is that the author is being cautious for new technologies, and suggesting to only embrace them if they actually add value.

There were a chapter about that at the end of the textbook for my digital logic class at Caltech in the early '80s. The chapter was called something like "The Engineer as Dope Pusher".

It gave an example of clothes dryers. The way most clothes dryers worked at the time is that you told them how long to run and how hot to get. The how hot to get part was a simple selector switch. The how long to run part has handled with a simple mechanical timer. You turned the dial until it pointed to the number of minutes you wanted on the label, started the dryer, the timer ticked down, and when it reached zero the dryer stopped.

Those timer mechanism designs were several decades old. They were mass produced, very reliable, very cheap, and when one did break the repairperson could easily replace it. If they didn't have the specific one for your dryer in their truck, or even one from the same manufacturer, no problem. One from a different manufacturer would probably work. The mounting brackets might not match but it was easy for the repairperson to rig something to make it work.

There dryers were extremely easy for users. Select temperature, turn knob to the time you want, press start.

But they are also boring for the dryer designers. So there were dryer designers out there, the author said, who were starting to design their new dryers with digital timers.

Digital was exciting. The engineer got to play with microprocessors which were new at the time. They got to design printed circuit boards, a power supply for the digital electronics, a display, a keypad for input. They got to play around with programming the microprocessor.

But to the consumer that digital dryer control wasn't better. It didn't offer any functionality that the mechanical timer interface did not. It had a much worse interface usually. It was less reliable. It cost more, and it broke the consumer was looking at a more expensive repair. That repair would probably take much longer because the repairperson probably would not have a new controller in their truck

The point was that the engineer should not let their desire to play around with new and fun things take priority over delivering the best solution for the user.
I’ve been typing for a long time, but I like taking notes by hand in a notebook. Just works well for me.
"On March 26, Graydon Hoare, the original creator of the Rust programming language, stopped in to speak about compilers to some lucky University of British Columbia students in the school’s introductory class to compiler construction.

"With the aspiring compiler designers of tomorrow in mind, Hoare’s talk spanned the history of building compilers for programming languages (He didn’t record the talk, so we have the slides to go by). He told the students he wanted to demystify that space “between class projects and industrial compilers” to “reduce terror, spark curiosity, encourage trying it as a career.”

> it seems like this goat rodeo is legal is because the elected representatives are pirates and there is no local governance in California

Go become a politician if you don't like it. The laws are passed, and the fines are legal. And these cities are going to be sued until they allow more housing.

> by shuffling responsibility from county to county and city to city.

Oh, but the shuffling will stop, due the the lawsuits. Either they allow the housing, or they will get sued.

> If housing activist really want to create change

Actually, it seems like the lawsuits will work just fine.

> let them support NIMBYs request for local governance

Why do that, when we can force cities to do certain things, with a lawsuit?

> So cities that support these mandates will get it done

Ok, but what if we want to force the cities, that oppose the mandates, to build more housing? That is the whole point of a mandate. To force a city, under threat of a lawsuit, to do something.

> This whole YIMBY movement is a small sliver of the population

Hey, it is a sliver that apparently is effectively getting laws passed!
And that’s the problem. Local governance is lacking in California and the trust in regional governance is being eroded due to the abuse of the political system.

Why should part of California secede? We are still a democracy. That’s why we should vote on this. Otherwise it’s taxation without representation and that should be illegal. It’s about time we put an end to this conversion attempt to communist regime in CA.
The thing that I really hate about YIMBYs is that none of the development they greenlight is ever even slightly pleasant. The YIMBY game plan is to find a city that has a good reputation and nice atmosphere from 50 years ago when it was sparse and really nice, and then throw up 4-plexes as quickly as possible in every vacant lot.

They treat neighborhoods and cities like museums that must be crammed as full of new residents as humanely possible, without doing a single thing to make any more square footage of "nice city". They only build more people warehouses everywhere and call it a day. Then they complain about the traffic and criticize existing residents for complaining about the increased crime rate.

I hate the ugly, boxy, copy-paste apartment buildings looming up all over my hometown, but what am I to do? The future belongs to the tasteless perma-renter.
I met a guy once who was proud of his insurance covering what amounted to a waist-slimming corset, lined with magnets and an electrical heater like those cancer-causing blankets had in the 70's. Even more bizarre, there were plugins that would increase or decrease the magnetic power, depending on his "needs."

It was supposed to help strengthen his spine. Of course relying on a corset to keep everything in line without using back and spine musculature would do just the opposite over time, but he was really excited to save $1500 on the whole kit.

A year's worth of batteries came free with it! I didn't have the heart to tell him it was all snake oil, but his enthusiasm for it was really endearing. At least it was insurance, and not his own money. Unfortunately it's guaranteed to make matters worse as his spine and back gets weaker due to lack of use.
On the one hand you've said explicitly in another comment that there is only one way to do things. On the other hand, you're saying a manager needs to build trust. But in my experience, trust doesn't get built by treating everyone as identical, fungible developer-units who must do things exactly the way you tell them, and nothing else?

A team is a bunch of individuals, and working out how best to motivate everyone on your team is the manager's job. And not everyone is going to be optimally motivated by being told they have to do everything in public.
If I look at a graph of oil discoveries vs oil production, negative incentives barely matter. Discoveries of oil are already lower than production! We're running down the available oil quickly and it is going to be come less economically competitive over time as we extract the cheap stuff. Natural gas is going to do something similar in the next few decades if it isn't already.

The government needs to be focused on making it easy to build alternative energy sources.

Courts can also order specific performance.

> If you sue the city and win, the judge orders the city to follow the law, and they still don't, do elected officials go to jail or something?

Courts happily hold municipalities in contempt. The community can then figure out how to hold their electeds responsible.

Nobody was talking about the law. The law also doesn't say they need to release a statement, yet they did, and naturally they are judges by its contents.
I don’t think the point is turning communities into NY and LA. The world is full of places that are neither single family homes only or skyscrapers only. Yet America has a weird attachment to (exclusively) single family homes and car-dependent life.

I believe that communities and small cities could be a more vibrant and livable place when they are slightly denser and more walkable.

My smallish city is 20 miles south of SF and it’s becoming more and more walkable and bikeable unlike sprawling San Jose or mansion-only Atherton.

Whatever the right and wrong of the matter, the phenomenology of the Academy is certainly of extreme interest and importance to the users of HN.

I haven’t been anywhere near a university in years personally, so I don’t know what credence to lend claims that politics, and in particular non-academic politics, are to an increasing an untenable degree crowding out more knowledge-oriented activities.

With that said, one does hear claims like this, which would be worrying if true, and data points / discussion around it is almost certainly on topic for HN right?
that's the dark side of democracy really. The city officials and the judges are elected (in California) by a majority of the people and so, by extension, a majority of people oppose the judgement. This probably falls under tyranny of the majority and it's an ongoing problem. This is at least my opinion.
My layperson understanding is it's like someone giving you a penny and they keep a penny. One is heads and the other is tails.

Completely different. The risk with the British Royalty is that the Queen is Queen of many Kingdoms. While England may still be pro-monarchy, some of these kingdoms and territories are more split down the middle. You only need one to switch, and proclaim itself a Republic, and that would severely increase the risk of more proclamations, in a domino effect. Domestically you'd have comparisons to the fall of the British Empire, and opinion may shift more against royalty domestically as a result.

Note that this scenario may still happen, but she was extremely lucid to realize its salience:

I'm not parent and I agree that it was not a carefully thought-out comment, but I'll give it a shot.

comment 1: How dare she say 3 million is a sacrifice? That's more money than many of us will see in an entire decade, if not more! None of us can get imagine getting 3 million!

comment 2: Well she could make 10 million, so 3 million to her is chump change.

My guess is as follows: The "us" in comment 1 is the poor, the failure to "read the room" is comment 2 mentioning the 10 million when the vast majority of people identify with comment 1 and thus think mentioning 10 million when even 3 million is unattainable is tone deaf.

Thus, loosely speaking, 10 million is cake, 3 million is bread.

But I agree with you that the analogy is not perfect.

Cheap housing certainly allows social services to house severely drug addicted or mentally ill people more cost effectively, but that doesn’t solve the open air drug dealing and psychosis you see in parts of San Francisco. Many of the people in those states publicly in SF have or had offers for shelter or housing available to them, which is part of why the scenes are concentrated near SRO districts.

In other words, housing isn’t the only issue with San Francisco’s poor stewardship of the public realm.

No one (aside from engineers) cares about what facebook built. Facebook had scandal after scandal and on top of it, everyone's grandparents signed up so teenagers couldn't post all of the screwed up stuff they were doing anymore. Posting there turned into a mix of corporate scrutiny (especially prospective employers) mixed with the old forwards from grandma emails you used to get in the late 90s/early 2000s.

That's why facebook is dying.
Personally I feel that this is a step in the right direction, albeit at the cost of some user pain in the short term. Prepaid SIMs are already manufactured, packaged, and shipped to convenience stores, so why not a Prepaid eSIM QR code? I imagine that it'd be cheaper to print a simple QR code for an entire factory run than to have SIM cards manufactured with unique data on them, and the savings can be spent upgrading the infrastructure to support eSIM (a one-time process).

Exactly. There is a goal to be achieved - building some feature, say - and we need to find the best way to achieve that goal with the people on hand.

If forcing all communication to be done in public makes the goal harder to achieve, then ffs do something else. Don't just force people to be inefficient because of some dogma.

The goal is not "make all communication public". The goal is to get the job done.

Most people do not care about the SIM tray. There are apps that can get you e-sims for data in every country in the world.

Physical SIM cards are largely a liability. They need to be replaced as the network changes (as T-mobile had to for standalone 5G) and they make phone theft even more of a headache because phone thieves can take your SIM card and use it for SMS-based OTP and password resets.
