I have ridden commuter rail, aubways, and busses in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Amsterdam, London, Vienna and other places.

While you have a point that "lo-density" is an oversimplification, only New York has the kind of density and frequency of service that make public transit really usable. Boston commuter rail sucks pretty bad, with a too-sparse schedule. BART from SFO to the city is OK but around town there are too few lines and stops. This all could be fixed, but the fact is they suck compared to cities like Amsterdam where cycling has the infrastructure and the critical mass to be safe (unlike London, for example).

Ask HN: Logics Behind Flagging Xinjiang Victims Database
Hello! How does flagging work on this website?

For example, I've just seen Xinjiang Victims Database flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37273507

This is an important project led by a person I know: the author, Gene Bunin, used to be active on tatoeba.org, adding Uyghur sentences. I had a chance to have a lot of conversations with him back then. He self-taught Uyghur and visited Xinjiang in the past, when it was safer to do so, and he is keeping that database because he sincerely cares about Uyghur people.

Why was the submission of his website flagged?
Exactly. I don’t mind AVs, but we don’t need them clogging up the core of our cities. Cars have their place. But let’s build real transit in our cities.

I also worry about a future in which we can’t own cars, but public transit has been mostly done away with in favor of privately owned AV companies.

In the present, here in Austin Cruise is regularly blocking streets at night. The tech works great…until it doesn’t. I wish they’d stop alpha testing at our expense.

For the first example in this video, I immediately thought that the staff should create tickets that guarantee purchase of the item, and then walk down the line and hand out tickets in order. Once all 500 tickets are handed out, the rest of the crowd has no choice but disperse.

The rest of the video is fascinating, such as how crowd crushes happen

It’s because corporations show time and time again to cut corners and do harmful things.

A few years ago I wrote a short story on how people would force cars to stop in order to extort money from the passengers. I thought such a thing would first happen in Rio.

It's inevitable, whatever the reason: if the car won't run over people or things, whoever wants to stop them will do so.

That wasn't snark from my end, I was just telling him he was wrong, as plead for him to re-read my comment again with an open mind. That's it. Actual snark would have added more fuel to his flame-bait which I didn't want to do.

> considering it's a public forum you could still explain why you think there wrong for the benefit of the rest of us who maybe also don't understand your argument

Because I don't have more information than that of my original comment, which is based on some years of experience developing products with e-ink displays and getting to know the tech and the company to a degree that allows me to have a relatively informed opinion to a degree on this topic.

And, because you can never please everyone no matter what you do, and some members can be overly contrarian and needlessly pedantic at times when it contradicts their entrenched belief that "evil corp is evil", expecting "sauce or GTFO" for every opinion on the matter (even though they themselves provided no proof for their "evil corp is evil" opinion), but I don't have or can't publicly share any documents to provide proof or more deep insight into the matter, nor the time to perform investigative journalism on the spot based on public OSS data, just to win an argument here.

Like I said, it's just my opinion based on my experience in the field, so take it as is with a pinch of salt, as an opinion of an average joe on the internet, not as a proper journalistic piece.
Eh, I feel like with the JCB and UnionPay alliance, you have a better chance of using Discover abroad than American Express (not to mention AmEx's higher merchant fees).
The other ones that annoy me are shell redirection from fish functions and some job control issues, which I'm hoping will both be fixed when job control is rearchitected as part of the ongoing Rust port.

I still use bash in CI, and for Linux scripts that I distribute to others. For macOS automation, I use zsh since it's the default nowadays.

My fish scripting is mostly for personal use and occasionally little wrappers on servers that I own. Sometimes I'll share a bit of fish code with other fish users at work, too.

Fail-on-error would be nice and help make the case for using fish in more places. At organizations where no one really knows bash that well anyway, fish would actually be nicer for scripting than bash if it had just a few more goodies like that imo.
The issue is the reliance on macros in the first place, which half the time are just a shitty substitute for overloading, variadics and inheritance that can’t be nested, doesn’t have editor highlighting, and takes longer to compile. Macros should be a last resort and not a first resort, “rust macros are better” isn’t a good counter argument. Rust’s big government philosophy of forcing design choices onto the programmer yet again comes back to bite it.
No, it actually can't. Fire will burn as hot and quickly as it has fuel and oxygen to sustain, because it's a chemical reaction, it doesn't maintain any kind of steady-state in order to extend it's survival.

If you take away my food, I will still have energy to find more. If you take away my air, I will still have air (albeit quite time-limited) to find more. That gradient is how we understand something to be alive.

I'd say it's not unreasonable. You're giving your third parties the ability to break your business. Third party scripts are blocked or just fail to load all the time, APIs change suddenly, etc.

You seem to be assume that flat organizations have zero structure and hierarchies. I have never seen the term used that way. 'flat' as in in flat organization is a coined term/phrase as far as I know so 'flat' is not 100% literal.

I have only see flat organization to mean less hierarchy relative to the standard. Often meaning there are fewer layers of managers between the ceo and the typical employee. I assume the term was coined to contrast the more pyramid like structure of managers that exist in some companies.

> AVs will make public transit work a lot better and reduce traffic

AV adoption will probably be comparable to the effect of Uber. It'll create more traffic on the roads at the expense of gutting the public transit infrastructure and probably create significantly problems than it solves.

On the bright side, parking may become cheaper.
What part of

https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/about-our-food/nutrition-...

Requires a map? On my phone, there’s no map widget nor distance to a restaurant nor anything else distance related.

There’s zero reason for the current functionality to require giving google my location.

Sure, you can argue that one day they might add something that uses the map, but that day ain’t today nor does it seem a reasonable requirement to get the calorie content of some chicken nugs.
That’s the wrong attitude. Unless the function of your site completely depends on google maps it shouldn’t break other logic. We’ve been building websites that survive these kinds of things for decades. Some people just don’t engineer their stuff correctly and this is the result. It’s not hard to do it right.

That's one ideal, sure. I don't see it though -- who's going to keep all these individual driving pods clean? How is access going to be gated to them? SF is a dense city, only New York has higher population density. Its BART and muni and bus service isn't bad, either -- and partly because it's such a pain to drive downtown, it gets used, and being used keeps it safe.
So do you think anything should be legal on the roads by default? I think there is a clear and obvious justification for why we don't let anyone drive anything on the roads: safety. Letting people test whatever they want on our roads is a risk to all other road users.
Interesting, but I'm still of the opinion that it's better to just avoid k-CAS in the first place. This is usually possible with sufficient control over your memory allocation/deallocation patterns.

(Also, I really hate spinlocks, since the scheduler can totally ruin them - with a good atomic algorithm, you can guarantee that if you have to loop, it is only because somebody is is actively making progress, with no possibility of them being unscheduled).
With this news, does anyone know if there’s any of these new cycle tech startups that are working together to make some kind of FOSS tech to mitigate having vaporware if the company goes bell up? Glad Cowboy stepped in, but this feels like one of a couple.

> BMW i7, which when parked in a standard bay will stick out more than half a metre, posing potential challenges for other motorists manoeuvring around the car park, as well as pedestrians

Seems like the clear solution is to ticket or tow folks who don't follow the rules for your parking spaces, as you might for someone who parks in an emergency vehicle area or a handicapped spot.
I definitely agree with your point, but outdoor public spaces in the US are now primarily roads subject to extensive regulation. Despite what an ad for a new truck may try to sell you, driving is not part of free society.
There's an interesting discrepancy between two parts of this:

> Flannery has purchased land from farmers for several times more than the market value and become the biggest landowners in Solano county.

> The firm has been sued by farmers who sold their land to the group over what the land owners describe as an “illegal price-fixing conspiracy”.

If a group is buying land at multiples of the market value, you'd think the "price-fixing conspiracy" narrative would come from would-be buyers who were priced out, not from sellers.
By no means do I believe the problems stem from our corporations. Instead, the problems stem from the government, "social" policies, high taxes, etc. Our corporations are not the problem.

FTFA: “ All the world’s knowledge is available for the taking on the Internet”

No. This is not true. Quit saying this. A small fraction of the world’s knowledge is on the Internet, much less scrapable.
I don’t work with Java atomics, but I really don’t like the OP’s implementation.

The loadLoadFence just looks pointless and inefficient (and wrong?). Acquire should be sufficient, and reasonable architectures (Aarch64 and x86 at least) have cheap acquires. But most (?) memory models don’t have any ordering between a relaxed load and a subsequent acquire, so read is simply incorrect. On x86, the right answer is to do all the loads, including the data, as acquires. On aarch64, for very large data, it’s plausibly faster to use relaxed loads and a fence, or maybe the memory model is stronger than I think it is. But the code as written appears unsafe in general.

The write function is IMO terrible. Don’t roll your own crappy spinlock! Either just declare as a precondition that there is only one writer or use an actual mutex in the library. Modern mutexes are much, much more efficient than the nasty algorithm in the OP, and saving a single word of memory by combining the sequence and the mutex is simply not worthwhile.
In the US it is probably at least 50% of the unbanked population, the market share of iPhones to the aggregate population. Many people with limited resources rely on a smartphone for all of their internet access, and people in minimum wage, and what appear to be under the table types of service jobs don't seem to be carrying anything other than an iPhone.

Considering that Apple's phones receive software updates for at least five years, it's conceivable that many are being used by a second or even third owner.

> “Take that!”, those of you saying 2% to 3% is a small price to pay for security, fraud, and payment risk mitigation.

2% for that service is worth it 100% and anyone who disagrees doesn't understand the math. 3% is probably too.

The problem is Visa et Al don't provide that. They provide it to consumers my demanding it from companies.

Hell even when the companies don't fit the bill sometimes the banks do instead.

But never does Visa pay.
I got hit by a car when i was a kid (as a pedestrian), and I have pondered the exact same things before. It was bad luck that I got hit, but was it good luck that the injury caused a coma, which helped my brain protect itself? Very quickly the good/bad binary becomes nonsense.
India-China relations have been normalizing in the aftermath of the Galwan crisis in 2020, but India and China are direct competitors for influence in plenty of countries across the Indo-Pacific Region (eg. Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Tanzania, KSA, Iran).

Furthermore, China will continue to back Pakistan no matter what - there is too much Chinese investment in Pakistan that makes it difficult to write off the relationship. As long as Pakistan and China remain extremely close economic and defense partners and India has a competitive relationship with Pakistan, there will always be the fear of a 2 Front War.

Even before the Galwan crisis, the relationship was precarious. The only difference was the Chinese private sector was allowed to operate, before being forced out of India - causing Chinese companies like Xiaomi, Oppo, Byd, etc to lose a MASSIVE market for them to the expense of Japanese, Korean, American, and Indian competitors.

Normalization basically means rolling the clock back to 2020 and preventing a war from accidentally sparking because of a mutual lack of disciple from soldiers on the frontline, but Chinese companies are still shit out of luck to operate, now that they mostly sold their Indian operations to Indian conglomerates like Reliance Group, Tata Group, etc.

Games just don't respect your time any more. Usually 80+ hours to experience an open world game with a handful of side quests.

While I don't share the same love of "emotional experience" games, at this point I'm thinking about only sticking to mission-based and "wide linear" games so that I leave plenty of time for other pursuits in life.
There is no jailbreaking. You are given root access out of box[2]. They don't discourage external developers, they even provide a toolchain[1] to build for the device upon request. Hell, their CTO at the time (not sure if they still are) wrote some non-official software that people can install[4], and helped some of the initial members of the community get their stuff working. They just don't provide official support for external software on the device.

As for bricking your device: It will not hard brick, it may only soft-brick[0], as in, the display will not update on the rM2, because the software driving the screen needs to be updated to support the new OS. You can still SSH in and revert the changes and then downgrade. If you were silly enough not to write down your SSH password, or set up an SSH key and can't get into SSH, you can still recover your device[3] on your own.

It's 100 fewer cars having to park, idle and unused, for hours a day. Also, it could lead to thousands of fewer cars in existence if that single AV is even moderately used. I think that might make the tech a net win.
which laws of nature ? survival of the fittest ? or evolution - people evolve build-in radars to avoid collisions.

if child runs on the road and you do not drive carefully in order to take it into consideration, it will end badly. there is probably better chances that child will survive when i drive my suv for two reasons

- because my seat is higher it easier for me to see from "above" somebody been between cars ahead and running out, compared to somebody who sits in reno clio on the ground and seeing nothing till last moment

- there is a good chance that radars in "last moment scenario" will react faster than human.

otherwise lets ban vans, buses, tracks, etc
As someone who lives far enough out of the nearest major city that I don't really pop in casually for a meal or drink. (It's very doable but I end up being on the road for a good two hours total around whatever activity I'm doing.)

An AV wouldn't be free to travel that distance but I would absolutely do that and other activities requiring 1+ hour drives each way more frequently if I didn't need to do the driving myself.
Instead they would be peppered with bullet holes; I doubt these cars would be warmly welcomed in TX either, at least until the experimentation phase is over
All decent EVs are also on the large side. I suspect it's because the bigger floor helps fit more batteries.
