> Price each ticket based on what it costs and a fair margin

That sounds great in theory, but airlines are the textbook example of "what it costs" not making sense. An airplane costs almost the same to fly from New York to San Francisco whether it's completely empty or completely full. The margin cost of fuel for your 150 lbs of body and 50 lbs of luggage is pennies compared to the cost to operate the airplane generally (e.g., a 777-300ER costs about $320 million today, or a lease payment of about $45,000 per DAY [1]... plus depreciation of the engines, maintenance, inspections, flight crew, cabin crew, etc).

How do you divide that up? If you assume 100% capacity on every flight, the airlines will be even broker than they already are (airlines are hardly raking in money: American Airlines filed for bankruptcy in 2011, Delta and Northwest in 2005, US Airways in 2004, United in 2002, and US Airways again in 2002...). [2]

If you assume something in the middle, maybe 70%, then you end up with a silly situation where seats are flying empty even though the airline would be happy to sell then for 50% off and people would be willing to fill them for 50% off.

Then add the fact that first class passengers are willing to subsidize the rest of the cabin... and so are people who need flexible fares, etc.

Airline seats are a lot like software in that there isn't a good way to figure out "charge what it costs." On average, we know the airlines are charging slightly LESS than what it costs to operate an airline. But it's not like gasoline where you can figure out how much it costs to refine a gallon and then charge a small markup.

You are thinking of the Pantheon. It is a temple in Rome built in the first century, and it has a dome made of concrete. (The Parthenon on the other hand is a temple in the Acropolis in Athens, but not related to concrete)
My best interior design skills would tell me to have part of the room with seating facing inward, maybe toward a fireplace, for conversation. And then maybe a more open area, with a coffee table perhaps?

You don't want all the seating to be in a big circle around the room. I'd break it up into groups of seating focused on different parts of the room.
I like that concept :).

I also like your `easy on the eye` site.
I peeked at the code and found this little tiny typo:

<meta property="og:url"content="http://theuserisdrunk.com/" />

A space is missing between url" and content.
4K belongs on a 24" monitor to meet "Retina" standards imho (due to 1080p's standard monitor size is 24").
With BabelJS, or the co modules (used with generators) you can get a very similar model...

app.use(function *(){
var db = yeild getDbConnection();
var data = db.query("procname", this.request.query.param);
this.body = JSON.stringify(data);
});

This of course assumes you have a db interface that uses Primises and are using koa for your web platform in a version of node that supports Generators, or are using something like BabelJS or traceur.
It did not really compete that much. The target audiences and target domains are really different.

C was invented as a replacement for assembler to portably write operating systems and applications in a slightly higher-level notation.

Lisp was invented as a tool for computing with symbols (computer algebra, theorem prover, game playing, natural language processing, expert systems, knowledge representation, ...).
>Care to explain or elaborate?

Ok. I once took a massive pay cut to go from piece-work to union hourly wages. The days were longer and overall crew production was around 1/3 of what it should be. Work availability was based on seniority within the union instead of performance.

Unions are all about receiving more for doing less, and are very detrimental to businesses.

In my experience union workers are a lazy bunch that talk more then they work, killing time is their main job description.

And union administrators are just parasites. It's all political. I've seen teachers unwillingly have to go on strike for months then be stuck with a worse deal afterwards.

Anyways I think if people aren't happy with their job they should go work somewhere else or better yet start their own business.
Because I have a life.
If you accurately state what someone believes, they'll probably agree with you. I don't think you've managed that here.
Hahahaha, yeah, simplest solution is for everyone to go vegan. Totally reasonable and achievable.

I don't get it. Human are predators like lions eating zebras, shark eating fishes, and dolphins eating shrimps.

Or we would like to pretend that eating veggie is not killing lifeforms? What if it can feel and smell?

Cows are killed everyday for meat. Might as well eat it.
CAFO is a key word there. I think many people don't know about the actual conditions animals are in when they are in factory farms. For example, here is a picture of free-range chickens: http://advocacy.britannica.com/blog/advocacy/wp-content/uplo...

It's not that you don't like to code, or need money to be happy. It's just the weird economic structure of startups and the software industry kinda lends itself to "missed opportunity" depression.

Look at it like professional athletes. Many guys just like to play basketball. But, I'm going to bet guys who were close to playing in the NBA and just didn't make it, are probably at least kinda depressed about it, whether or not they still like playing pickup games.
Sure they don't hurt but they encourage a combative world of discussion where brigading matters more than words.
But these people's number were not published. They were scraped from vulnerable "cloud server" - from what I gather some endpoint for Find My Friends feature was not secured.

They blame shifting on fb is really unacceptable.
I would advocate not only for fines, but companies should be required to pay compensation to people affected by the leak. To the extent that if someone address got compromised, Facebook would be required to relocate that person / family to a new address of comparable standard.

Oh I agree entirely, and that was my point: it's a vicious circle. The more we use tech, the more we rely on it for social interaction, the more we disengage from the "real" space, etc.
"Weightable soul". Sounds like a con-man, who wants only the most foolish of marks to make his job as easy as possible, and hence begins his script "I am about to hoax you...but I have something very important to tell you" - and those that remain after that are proven suckers and can be taken to any sort of ride.
My understanding is they are wilfully violating Australian law too, not just the GDPR. I wonder how various countries will react?
There are other models that take into account jumps in the prices/market. As for retail traders using these models, I think it is not recommended and not practical.

It seems like it has went from something rare, only used in very clearcut cases to something you use daily.
If you just post some ferrets being cute clips instead of a documentary on why ferrets should/should not be illegal, I’m sure everyone (except those looking to be offended) can have a good time.

Saying this is on the same level as protest videos or political commentary is absurd.

Now, I don’t deny that some people would try to make political statements with plausible deniability. However, if it’s not their intent and their one video gets shadow banned, who cares? If it is, well, they deserved it.
This is a very rational point of view but to be completely valid consumers would have to be rational consumers which I really don't see.
I think you could potentially use a DNS independent of the ISP? But ultimately the ISP will know what IP you're trying to reach due to the nature of their position.

It isn't just window managers, there are also applications that are close to X11, and many of these don't even work in XWayland, because they break wayland's security model. For example screen shot and screen sharing apps. And even if the developers took the large amount of work to refactor to work with wayland, there isn't any kind of standard for privileged access in wayland, so they would need to use different protocols to implement the functionality for each compositor.
Aristotle articulated all this stuff much better and in far fewer words 2300 years ago in his writings on work and leisure.

All the firing of brilliant coders at WeWork makes sense now

It makes sense because WeWork was not a tech company, had no need of “brilliant coders”, and besides, they were not brilliant anyway and produced basically nothing beyond a website and perpetually broken wifi and printing.
Thanks for the feedback

Actually the website should work on the ipad for everything except the sheet music display: that means if you want to play the full orchestra accompaniment on your iphone or ipad, you should be able to do it.

The music scores display uses the Scribd API. Scribd is currently switching from flash to html5. The full app should be 100% available on the ipad in the next few weeks / months.

Of course, we are also planning on developing a more specific version for easier navigation on mobile devices.
Instead of

I'm not sure how £1000/day even makes sense. Isn't that like £20000/month, which computes to ~$400K/year? What am I missing? Is it only part-time because of consulting?

Sounds about right. My base salary, no benefits, would be about 58K a year if I worked full-time. This is in Rotterdam, where salaries are slightly lower than in Amsterdam.

I generally agree with your statement, but the primary thing that prevents me from switching to a more modern editor is counsel/ivy. I really wish that VS Code or others offered a similar experience of filtering a buffer/project so quickly and easily. The editing experience of Evil with ivy is fantastic.

I just wish that things like autocomplete or debugging were easier to get right across languages...
Typo on the menu bar: “Man Page” instead of “Main Page”
False. The NSA has never been shown to (or even suspected of) commit intellectual property theft, which is what several of the above incidents are.
Here is another example of callbacks at work from the TXR Lisp test suite: using the C library funtion qsort to sort a Lisp array of strings.

http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/txr/tree/tests/017/qsort.tl

It's done in two ways, as UTF-8 char * strings and as wchar_t * strings.

What's used as the callback is the function cmp-str which is in TXR Lisp's standard library. A lambda expression could be used instead.

Also tested is the perpetration of a non-local control transfer out of the callback, instead of the normal return. This properly cleans up the temporary memory allocated for the string conversions.
"71% of WeWork members were corporate full-timers at companies that were either located in a WeWork office or used WeWork to house their remote teams"

Is another example of hype. The source article linked to merely says "Seventy-one percent worked full-time for companies that are either located in a WeWork office or use WeWork for remote individuals and teams."

Sounds a lot less dramatic - because it is. You'd probably expect most to be working for companies, especially if they're startups or one/two employee contracting outfits etc. They're not all big corps using the space for cheap space and evil things :p
I met one of the FireEagle devs there, at the same ETech event, and he was a really great person. We proceeded to bump into each other a few more times over the years, specifically at the Ajax Experience conferences. He really tried to convince me that Yahoo wasn't all that bad, although he eventually did have to move on.

As evidenced by the previous paragraph, I've forgotten his name which makes it exceptionally difficult to reconnect.

Consider this a HN "missed connections" attempt. ;)
You simply cannot have long lived, same radius orbiting objects, they must stabilize on resonance to exist.
It doesn't feel faster to me. And that's the case with Ajax in general - in principle, it can allow for snappier, faster experience. In practice, it rarely does.
Yes that's a poor and hopefully temporary side effect - but it would get more people covered with medical benefits. It may also not be that bad en effect because unfair scheduling practices for the part time hires. The part-time scheduling is reported to take up essentially full time commitments to be on "standby" with poor stability in the scheduled times on/off. So if one wasn't instantly available to come off standby, one would get penalized - to avoid that, you couldn't take other part time work.
I used to use pipes for a network of real estate listing websites. I would combine Craigslist, Ooodle, Trulia and some others and then place Adsense ads around the feeds.

On the first read I was inclined to agree. However I would like to see an alternative for use in public services at least. I am not very comfortable with the fact that citizens data gets uploaded to Microsofts servers.
I've found source code sans to be an excellent font for LaTeX, and the companion source code pro for code blocks. They are significantly more readable to me and to most people I know, though that may have to do with screens being much higher-resolution than when computer modern was created.

Here's my arm-chair hypothesis: the thin connecting lines (don't know the technical font term, though I'm sure one exists) showed up fine on low-res screens because they simply couldn't be made thinner than a certain amount. On high-res screens, they get much thinner, and my eyes have trouble tracking them. Easier to read on paper, though.
Fun (but only marginally-related) fact: In Hindi, the words for tomorrow and yesterday are the same, the meaning is inferred from context. Also, the words for "day-after-tomorrow" and "day-before-yesterday" are the same!

I will add to that that Catholics in particular are highly unlikely to be at church in the morning on Good Friday since the Mass is not celebrated that day and none of the sacraments are celebrated. The only religious service churches have is around 3:00 in the afternoon.
I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of Chaos Monkey.

CM is a form of active TDD at the system architecture level. This might evolve into setting up partition tests as a prerequisite to instantiating the deployment model (Translation: before you start putting something on a cloud instance, write code that turns the instance off and on from time to time) This assures that the requirements for survival are baked into the app and not something tacked on later after some public failure like the Amazonocolapse.

I was reading on HN the other day a guy talking about Google. He said he saw engineers pull the wires from dozens of routers handling GBs of data -- all without a hitch. The architecture was baked enough that failure was expected.

Many times failure modes like this are burned into hardware, but that kind of design is a long, long, long way from most people's systems.

the market for desktop Linux applications is too small to be worth considering

Yes, and the market for NeXT software was likewise until Apple decided to put it under a Mac shell. In fact, NT was the same until MS put it under a Windows shell. They could do it again, put Windows on a Linux kernel with a multiyear transition strategy and have the consumer and producer clients with the closest integration with Linux servers.
Kind of takes the edge off of it when you use the wrong word. You're looking for "abject."

I've been reading about this, and there seems to be a lot of debate still on implementing E2EE via the email providers. From what I have gathered most email providers use TLS and encrypt data on disk at rest, but they feel like its pointless to implement E2EE, because by default as 99% of incoming emails are all unencrypted, and 99% of emails need to leave your email unencrypted(otherwise the receiving email party would be unable to read the encrypted message)
I got a devious idea, might be worth testing, basically drink some of the expensive wine beforehand, perhaps while preparing the food for your troubles. Thereafter pour some cheaper stuff into the expensive bottle and see if anyone not party to the trick is unimpressed by the cheap wine in the expensive bottle.

I am looking to get to the validity of article quote

As a result, if we think a wine is cheap, it will taste cheap. And if we think we are tasting a grand cru, then we will taste a grand cru. Our senses are vague in their instructions, and we parse their inputs based upon whatever other knowledge we can summon to the surface.
I'm pretty sure Sony Computer Entertainment has some pressure from other game publishers to have DRM on the PlayStation Store.
Intent is important. Microsoft is using those patents to disrupt an ecosystem it deems threatening to its need to (illegally) leverage its desktop OS monopoly into the mobile space in order to gain market share there. Android is a threat to Microsoft's desktop market because it furthers the trend away from PCs and towards mobile devices.

Microsoft is also using its "war chest" to threaten less well financed players with long and expensive legal battles, the costs of which it can cover rather easily.

Oh yes, I am criticizing Microsoft. Let the karma burn.
this q&a is misleading a bit. iphone downloads locations around hotspots u have already been close to by timestamping, and it means ur approximate location+timestamp was logged indefinitely on ur phone and copied to PC, though indirect.

the whole q&a is a simple game words to trick users.
`apple is not tracking ur location` but `your approximate location is downloaded, timestamped and stored on ur mobile phone due to a bug`

this whole wording is can't even trick a child.

look at the result.
I use location services on an iPod touch almost daily and without a network connection. The location cache is currently limited by size. It seems to hold about a small city's worth of wifi hotspot coordinates, which is downloaded in large blocks at a time.

Reducing the size of the wifi location cache to a mere 7 days could severely reduce the usefulness of that feature.

I really hope they're not killing a great feature because of some hysteria and bad reporting.
It's not fluff, it's an attempt to appease many groups of people with different levels of technical ability. You may see some of the information as fluff because you already understand it, but many people (e.g. people who don't read tech sites and have only heard about this issue from a 45-second story on their local TV news) are confused and are looking for these answers.

If you want to give your users instances that have full hardware access, bare metal instances allow you to still manage that using OpenStack. This might be to allow access to GPUs or other specialized hardware.

Another example is deploying hypervisors: Test suites for OpenStack are run against many different versions by using OpenStack to deploy the systems to test. HP's OpenStack distribution uses it as a deployment mechanism, taking over and managing the nodes of the OpenStack cluster from a small initial cluster.
3) merely requires you can authenticate the DNS response, if I'm not mistaken; DNSCurve would work just as well there as a result.
The word 'equal' distracts people from providing what people need.

What people need is access to appropriate opportunities, opportunities that they can make use of. That's difficult for society because it sometimes costs more than it is 'worth' when worth is measured in money.
They do in practice. You'll have to explain the lower rates of single family households in the traditionally conservative regions (e.g. Northern Africa and Western Asia). Naturally, because of the strong promotion for a promiscuous and hedonistic lifestyle, and how Christianity has failed in the West, the study you cite does not prove otherwise, as it was only done on a US population.

Edit: a more interesting study would break down the teen pregnancy population in the US by religion or ethnic background to look at the different rates instead of grouping everyone together. The US is not a monoculture.
