Lyft's platform choices in 2023 wasn't the driving cause of their initial funding round success in 2007.

Lyft (actually Zimride at the time) grew up when both the iPhone was new and a bunch of people lost their jobs from a stock market crash.

A tech stack decision from 16 years in the future isn't in play here.

Also we sold the company and walked away with enough zeros for me.
It also doesn't work well with agglutinative languages like Korean. The wordlist contains a lot of word sets only differentiated by postpositions (e.g. 기쁜 delightful vs. 기쁨 delight).
IMO this is like saying a high-level language is syntactic sugar for assembly.

Generators allow you to write a state machine as a procedural function whose local variables are automatically suspended when you yield and restored when the caller returns control to the generator. They compile this down to, as you said, an object with a call method. But that transformation is as nontrivial as any compilation/transpilation project.
Thanks for pointing to this LUKS feature.

The last time when I have looked at LUKS was some years ago, when this feature did not exist yet.

In my opinion, this is the only right way to do SSD/HDD encryption. The detached header allows plausible deniability and it avoids downgrading the strength of the encryption key to the strength of the passphrase.

By using the detached header option, LUKS could be used exactly like in my custom setup.
While true, we’ve been successfully keeping up this illusion for the whole economy for many decades.
We have the same idea, a sha256 is all you need to construct a magnet link and start peering, my suggestion is for a nostr client to support this use case and webtorrent to replace the hash with the embedded file on the front end. not to make any change to the protocol.
I think the easiest answer is that a majority of consumers prefer it that way, if you don't have an app you don't exists as far as they're concerned. Remember that a lot of students doesn't understand file paths[0], they're so used to smart phones that they've never learned basic computer skills. Add to that that even before smart phones a lot of people didn't understand URLs or even used bookmarks, they just googled whatever site they wanted, like facebook login. Having the app icon on your home screen is much easier for them, and they're more likely to use it again and not forget it.

By far the best app when abroad. Use it to plan a holiday with color coded bookmarks. Easy to plan hikes, runs etc. And all offline. Great to spot where you find drinking water, playgrounds, and all the other great details OSM provides.

Started using it in Montenegro for driving as well since I didn’t want to pay a fortune for roaming and all other offline apps or even GPS device did not have the country available offline.
Yes. I was trying to give you an easy introduction to the idea.

And which are you more likely to be writing, a distributed garbage collector or a single-core library/application? Realistically, very much the latter. And if the former, much of that system will be made up of stuff running strictly on single cores, to which plain bog-standard assertions will be just as useful.

> one would use to pick insightful ones is rather the art which I'm intrigued by.

Well, it's not really an art, it's more straightforward than that (edit: think of them as basic sanity checks, not anything deep or profound), but if my overview of the idea isn't helpful you need to provide a more concrete example to discuss. I think your question as it stands is too ill-defined.
> being a salaried developer…

To a lesser extent if you work mainly for startups though.
Especially since "arrows.midst.senses" and "arrow.midst.senses" are two different locations, and if you mishear it as "arrows.midst.sends", that's yet another different valid location.

Really, there's all the research done (since the invention of early radio?) on what makes a phonetic alphabet or phonetic code usable in noisy conditions, and instead W3W effectively plants a field of rakes in front of blindfolded people.
If I use a CC to pay in app, there’s still a fee. Is an IAP considered lower risk, so lower fee than a physical card at a terminal?
You just showed so little worda why consumer protection laws are so god damn important.
I used to live in a European city where many streets of a given neighbourhood belonged to the same lexical field. If somebody lived in "Falcon" street, you could go to their neighbourhood without knowing the exact street. There were neighbourhoods about birds, doctors, journalists, and IDK what else. I do not know why people do not do that more often.

Roads that have consecutive numbers are also useful.

These w3w words can be useful for logistics but they seem to be useless for human beings.
Emojis are also great from a technical standpoint: because they are desirable to users the unicode consortium can (and has) leverage them to encourage text rendering engines to properly implement features necessary for various languages e.g. astral codepoints, ligatures, grapheme clusters, ...
i'll have to take another look at their technology stack, are they torrent or IPFS?

They were using Gun db at some point too maybe but it's been some time since i checked, maybe it was a clone.
My apologies for ignorance to Korean speakers.

What I was trying to say is, to fix Unicode, we must accept that whatever many of those variants don't interchange, and therefore all require its own planes, which I believe had never been the Consortium's stance on the matter. And I think that should solve about half of problems with Unicode by volume.
Does the law require them to explicitly state their reason or even discuss it at all? It's perjury if it is a lie, but the very reason the plantiff's claim is behind thr decision, that is what I am saying is their defense. Yes, bezos and musk compete, it's a business and you need to trust your business partners. No business will partner with another buisnedd they believe does not have their best interests. This is so obvious, one can claim it is implied in the decision making process. Even if spacex does what is needed, the kuiper project alone is not what the board oversees, it is the entire company and its future profitablity to share holders.
This is essentially po box (or more just fake address) for Estonian e-resident companies (https://www.e-resident.gov.ee/). It is quite popular for fellow neighbours Russians, Belorussians etc for whom their local country is not that enterpreneurial-friendly.
Why is that? Has it some features removed? Or how else can that be?

Edit I guess the wxWidgets lib is smaller, as it is more incomplete.
I am not an accountant, but I believe that such unused balance can not be treated by the company as an asset, and instead as liability. And I believe there are laws in every state where such money eventually should be returned to you or to the state's "unclaimed property", if they can't contact you. Search for "unclaimed property <state>" and see if you can locate anything there.

On the other hand, I have no idea how that is enforced. So it is quite possible that liability stays on books indefinitely. Or worse - not recorded as liability in the first place..
> How about other GPs?

Depends on how good your insurance is. PPOs, sure - though most of the country does not have as many doctors per capita as SF. Typically an HMO will only let you have one primary care provider.
It seems like “burning tires” is very emotionally loaded. Like if there would be a pile of tires on fire.

Not quite the same thing to burn them at high temperature in an industrial furnace.

Sweden has power plants burning garbage. That’s very far from a dumpster fire.
There is the old saying "for Europeans, 100 years is nothing; for Americans, 100 miles is nothing".

So I'm not sure you can compare areas with radically different density. If I got all the debates about US zoning and building sensibilities right, then it's very unlikely they'll try to build high-density apartment blocks there like in Barcelona or Paris.
This is the comments section where people state their opinions. I'd say you're welcome but you don't sound like Jeff Bezos to me. Either engage in meaningful discourse or keep your passive agressive snark to yourself.
In principle it is possible to burn waste cleanly (in regard to human health, not CO2) when done properly. For example, Sweden burns most of its household waste.

When done properly, incineration of waste to generate electricity is probably no worse than incinerating fossil fuels, except it has the added benefit of getting rid of waste products that otherwise go to landfill. That means fitting the necessary scrubbers, and hot enough combustion to burn off dioxins etc.

My feelings on burning waste depend on whether this is done properly or not. I don’t imagine there’s anything inherently worse in burning tyres than other household waste.

The aspect that irks me is burning any fossil fuel to mine cryptocurrencies, it doesn’t sit right with me when we have a climate crisis. That concern isn’t limited to burning tyres, but any carbon-emitting fuel.

I hope that the environmental regulations are strict enough to protect the local residents air quality. Assuming the rules are as stringent as they would be in Sweden, they don’t have much to be concerned about.
It really makes no sense to use it for emergency calls. 999/911 can already access your location by GPS.

I think the issue is that other less emergency numbers can't (like 101). That's why they tell you to hang up and call 999 rather than transferring you.

But I don't know why they just don't add more numbers to the "allowed to geolocate you" list. Or even build in a "send my location" button in phone calls. You wouldn't even need to modify the phone system - it could send DTFM tones.
Aren't there quite good DNS filters (like what OpenDNS provides) for the worst parts of the internet? You don't want them looking at porn, gore, extreme politics, social media, self-destructive behaviours, drugs, and at particular sites -- that kind of stuff, right? A DNS filter sounds like a better tool for this than time restrictions with all that content available for 1 hour a day or whatever.
This is really a fascinating piece to read, even for a non American or not living in this area.

Also I like very much the way that it is written in a straight to the fact way despite it being very long. I did read it in one time like a book.

I wish that newspaper articles (like NYT and co) still had that quality of investigation and writing. Instead of flooding us with useless half-invented context facts to fill pages. I would subscribe more.

It was explicitly designed in that way [1]. It does make harder to remember, but I think the memorizability constrains other goals too much.

Ask HN: Is GH Enterprise a monitoring tool?
Hello folks!

Long:
Is GitHub pilot being used as micromanagement tool by companies around the world?

Context:

Considering Microsoft's fame, I'm wondering if they have applied the same principles used on Teams service for monitoring on people privacies. However I think it has been used but companies around the world for micro management activities, since they collect important infos that gives enough context for any company to spy their employees, like repo in use, suggestions per minute or even tracking typing rate? I've never had access to the enterprise dashboard though. WDYT? Am I high or this can be true? Is anyone here with that privilege of having access to the Enterprise edition from an admin perspective?

In some Chinese cities you can walk all day without finding a restaurant/shop that can give you change if you try to pay with cash or that accepts your western credit card.

Without Alipay/WeChat you will be stuck in your hotel unable to do anything.

However unlike the crappy western solution, where each business wants to have their own app, the experience is extremely smooth: Scan a QR code with WeChat, the menu opens in the app, order, pay.

Want a bottle of water in a small shop? Grab it from the cooler, scan the QR code on the cooler, type in 2 CNY and hit send money. Cashier gets a ding that you paid 2 CNY. Confirm with a nod and just leave.

Ride hailing (Didi - which ate Uber's lunch here), airplane&train tickets, and much more is also done right through WeChat/Alipay.
This is fully what I expect it to be. Peaceable by keeping out unwanted people (poor people). I don't think we have it in us as Americans to truly build a proper egalitarian society. We don't really know what that looks like. As a substitute we use whitewashing and just shuffle around the unfortunates out of sight and pretend it's been fixed. If this "city" doesn't have low income housing and community social services you'll know it for what it is.
I use various Corsair or Kingston USB flash drives, with sturdy fully metallic cases, and which are just a little larger than a USB connector, i.e. they just have an ear that remains outside the connector when inserted, to allow for their extraction.

I have also used MicroSD cards together with a very small USB adapter, which is also only a little greater than the USB connector.
Signal and Meta (WhatsApp) don’t scan your messages.

That's a perfectly legitimate comment -you are explaining the way you feel- and it's a bit of an abuse of the down/upvote buttons to downvote it. I get that people disagree with it but it's polite and I'd say a good quality comment overall so it should be upvoted back to brightness.

I'm basing this on one of dang's comments on being a "good citizen on HN":

Downvoting for disagreement is not always bad, but it sometimes is. There should be some nuance here. Don't be indiscriminate. When a comment is blatantly false, downvoting is probably ok, especially when there's something else wrong with the comment. But high-quality, polite posts don't deserve penalizing just because you don't share their position. When you see one of those in negative territory, please be a good citizen and upvote it back to par. Users doing that is one of the community's self-correcting mechanisms, and it's more important now that we've made some downvotes more powerful.

Like any historical thing, there can be many interpretations, all of them hitting on something true.
Open-sourcing SQX, a way to build flexible database models in Go
Fact and truth aren't synonymous. The connotation in English is different. A fact implies a verifiable statement with no grey area."A man died from falling". The truth implies you have the full picture and relevant context. "A man was murdered by being pushed off a building". Murder of course can't be 100% proven, it's a legal concept that involves intent and pre-planning and your location etc. Our fictional friend may be able to get a technicality that makes purposely pushing a man off a building not legally murder. But the truth would still be he murdered him.
That is really interesting. It goes entirely against my mental model of Lynch that would eschew stock footage, but I guess it does make sense in a way.

Exceedingly interesting and impressive amounts of dedication.

There is also a lesson in there about endless chasing of technical details instead of going straight to the source of all mysteries: power and the people that hold it.

Many software challenges can be looked at through the same lens. Why is this project even a thing and why, o, why is it $25M over budget and getting nowhere? (Hint: nothing technical)
Ah, you got me! I didn’t realize from reading the TechCrunch article that the repo contained the actual word list, I stand by my original opinion that the takedown was legally valid.
The whole point is to have JS on front-end and beck-end, right? What is serving the JS? Isn't the server Node?

And large security surface means just one compromised package is required to get on the server side. If an npm update gives you security warnings after a few weeks of a vanilla project just sitting there, something is very wrong.

By that argument you might as well add VAT paid by your employers customer as well. It's a specious argument, because these amounts are not part of what you negotiate or put in your contract, and when these rates change your employer is on the hook for them, not you.

It further only tend to be included when complaining about high tax countries, and conveniently forgotten when people compare w/e.g. US taxation.

Nevertheless, even with them included, only a few European countries have total tax wedges above 50% for more than small portions of the population.
Is this not the same as "exploring" places people have already been before? I don't see the mutual exclusivity that you imply. Is it because one isn't seeing the source material for one's self that makes it different?

But you accept that it can be colored with (at most) four colors, e.g. by coloring the central one color 1 and the other one billion color 2? Then you also can imagine the reduction. Each of these outer-inner node pairs is a reduction. Your big graph consists of overlaying one billion two-node graphs by merging on the color 1 node.
They are not part of what you negotiate, and if the rates change your take home pay doesn't change, but it was exactly in anticipation of arguments like this I pointed out that my claim holds even for total tax wedge.
Honestly, if you want a truly progressive city government in California, you probably need it to be 100% private. If it's public, the regressive California constitution comes into effect, and now you can't make property taxes be high enough to pay for city services, you can't increase the property taxes on long-term landowners, and those low tax rates get inherited by the property owners' heirs. You have to pay for city services with income/sales taxes. It's basically feudalism.

With a 100% private development, you can have a land value tax - it's legal if you just call it rent, and you can increase it however much you want (at most it's capped to 5% + inflation, a lot higher than the 2% (not inflation adjusted) cap for property tax increases).

And no, this won't be social housing. NIMBYs will say they want social housing, but they won't vote in taxes to pay for it (in CA, every tax increase must pass in a ballot referendum), nor do they actually want it built anywhere, either. Because only private money is being used for this development, it will mostly be market-rate housing, and that's fine. Or most likely, it will be nothing, since rural NIMBYs will block it.

You suggest that this is because of the GPL. That GPL covered code is used in many commercial products demonstrates that to be false.

You refrained from answering the question: if it was true, why would it matter?

Supplementary questions: If I release some software covered by, for instance, AGPLv3, why would it be a problem for me that commercial projects wouldn't use it? Why would it necessarily be a problem for my code's users?
