Like I have tic-tac in my car but its not driving the engine.

You are right; lets start a linux kernel in rust. Send me a PR for that bootloader.

Counterstrike represent! I'd love to see popularity breakdown of applications run by wine. What else do people use it for?

Genuine question: does it make sense to go even more paranoid with self hosting?

1. buy a box at home

2. run on onion: https://medium.com/axon-technologies/hosting-anonymous-websi...

3. access media using onion browser

I believe electricity cost of hosting at home would be expensive and accessibility will be a problem 2000 miles away without cdn. One might have to consider having this box on a separate network.

So anonymity here might not be worth the price?

Or almost like a white man hiring another white man?

If my fellow Indians are fostering this sort of hatred even after coming to US then we definitely haven't changed (and also, I am not shocked like others here).

I am pretty sure it was social engineering. One can't seriously think only Modi logs into his twitter. I mean look at his instagram page; the guy is self obsessed and has team of midwits working in his IT cell.

Thumbs up! Most video transmissions happen using protocols written over udp.

Yes there is! And that's the mindset people should change.

SEA airport is 30 mins by taxi, PDX is 45 mins away by taxi and for airport check-in you gotta arrive 1 hr early and then 30 mins travel time.

A high speed transit is just 1.5 hr train ride (city center to city center).

Exactly so coming back to my original question: my cannot US invest in high speed train from 4th and King to Napa valley? What is holding it back?

Can you share some article to back up your facts? All I could find here is, american freight trains are longer and run over a longer distance.

After living next to train tracks in SF (for 7 yrs) and in PDX for (over 2 yrs) I can tell you that train tracks traffic is not even 10% of Euro cities like Stuttgart, Rotterdam let alone Berlin or Paris.

If traffic(freight+passenger)US is roughly equal to traffic(freight+passenger)EU then, the tracks should be equally busy no?

SF-LA

SF-Sacramento

SF-Tahoe

SF-Napa

SEA-PDX

Austin-Dallas-Houston

LA-Las Vegas-Phoenix-Tucson

And I am not talking snail Amtrak 70 mph train. I am suggesting 150 mph that runs in most Europe. What is holding US back in public transport?

Well I didn’t mean any disrespect to other nationalities but merely commenting on popularity of those two startups. Is there anything you want to add about my query?

That is very encouraging. Given that we Indians are such foodies, it is not surprising that Swiggy and Zomato are doing so well.

I am trying to keep tabs on electric two-wheeler startup industry in India. Ather energy is emerging as a big name. Anyone knows how they are doing?

What does the google search tell you about mass american shootings and what government is doing about them?

I visited Iceland in 2016 for 10 days with two of my friends.

- We partied in Reykjavik on weekend and my god! I was amazed to see the clubbing culture there. It was so different from Bay area. Nightclubs were open till 4 and people stayed till 6. Not to mention it was summer; so sun was setting at 3am-ish while people were drunk on dance floor.

- We went towards laugavegur next day for our adventure of 4 day trail. It was a pretty smooth drive until we were attacked by armies of black fly who entered our car through open window and my friend almost toppled the car over while fighting them off (yes the road was 9-10 ft above the land).

- Next day, we started our trek where we experienced the unforgiving weather of Icelandic highlands. I have been stuck in avalanches before (rockies, patagonia, himalayas) but this was a level up. The weather was colder, the wind had a deathly sting. We had to dig up our camp in snow and at that point tbh it seemed like I was digging my grave. It kind of made sense why they shot Castle black senes for GoT here. Don't get me wrong, I fully enjoyed the hike. The colors, the view and the greenery was amazing. The best part of it was making pinto beans over steam coming below 6ft of snow.

- Next 5 days we camped near beautiful waterfall of Seljalandsfoss. It was surreal. We used to drive to same grocery store in morning, get basic stuff to cook and get drunk in the afternoon (or night..? it was hard to tell). It was pretty close to popular Skogafoss waterfall but this waterfall was equally beautiful with lot less people visiting.

The point I am trying to make is yes, tourism is overwhelming for a delicate place for Iceland but you don't have to visit just the golden circle or the jokursalon. Yes, these places are beautiful but the experience really gets terrible when there are a thousand people trying to get glimpse of snow island in 200 m long standing space.

My advice to the people who are in 20s: Try to hike, drive to unconventional places. Iceland has a lot to offer than what you see or read in blogs/instagram. The fun of travel is in experiencing local culture, exploring places and stumbling upon things. It is NOT about getting selfie and checking off things to do in a list written in some random blog.

but can you code the DAG in 30 minutes?

Thanks! My implementation is meant for remote voice control of drone.

This setup just requires raspberry-pi to be in the vicinity of drone. Voice command can be provided remotely.

TODO: add a kill switch :D

Thanks! I saw the fear in my Director's eyes while showcasing when the drone was hovering ~3 feet away.

Double thumbs up for fixing this!

with all due respect to author, here's why solving real problems > interview problems

Love the writeup! Very readable for someone like me who works much layers up in programming.

I have also written a primer on go-concurrency. https://gist.github.com/rushilgupta/228dfdf379121cb9426d5e90...

Thoughts?

I expected better from hackernews. Not from engadget though, read their other articles and you'll know what I mean. It's a clickbait.

Alexa records and streams only when you say the wake word. Concerns raised by fellow hackernews users are legit but it's not happening yet.
