You're absolutely correct that this is not a simple situation to solve. Unfortunately the US goes into collective anaphylactic shock when words like socialized <insert anything here> is mentioned.

Great minds... I was talking about this the other day with the other engineers at work, after learning about GitHub's most recent monstrous funding round. It seems like CI/a deployment service and something that competes in the crowded PaaS field is the next logical step.

AWS enables us to do some pretty slick things, but OpsWorks is a giant bag of suck that frequently finds a way to drain my time troubleshooting why something crazy or random has happened on the production server--behaviors I never saw in my previous role running a bare-metal LAMP stack for 4 years. A tighter integration between our GitHub repo and a testing/build server... Swoon.
More importantly, what do they do to keep users from jailbreaking the device via software? Especially with Android, there are a lot of software root flaws and the privileged surface area is a lot bigger than the hypervisor AWS uses for EC2.

The summary makes it sound like they only wipe your app from the device, not reinstall the OS between users.

> That said, I'm not sure that realistically, market-decreasing tactics really exist in most cases -- I can't think of a real world example.

What do you mean? Of the Coke/Pepsi type market? Giants whacking away at each other?

If you are looking more broadly - the 'market decreasing tactics' is one aspect of what the innovator's dilemma is about. One of my favorite VC types, likes to invest in companies that fill the following thesis: "AcmeCo is a new entrant, with some cool tools, into an aging $50B (or whatever) / year industry. When AcmeCo is done lighting a neutron bomb in the industry and the dust settles, it is now a $5B industry, and AcmeCo is the last man standing with 60%+ market share."

That it is. I had not come across some of the structure of the argumentation in this article before.

I do wonder what will happen once Uber starts charging market rates. Right now, your ride is subsidized by Uber. Once it comes time to turn on the profits, you'll have to pay more - substantially more in some markets.

Will you still use Uber? Probably. But many who started using Uber instead of, say, taking their own car or using public transport, just might go back.

From the other side pre-prod code review just delays software getting into production. Delays here tend to lead to bigger, riskier changesets.

I'd rather continuously-deliver sub 1hr of changes to production several times a day. Pair & Mob programming provide continuous code review pre-commit, but they don't provide all the benefits of traditional code reviews. It can be valuable to sit down as a team and or with others who didn't work on some code and think through how to make it better/improve it asynchronously.

I suspect that the data they possess on usage rate during surge pricing will be extremely useful for making those projections.
Of course you can call it "EU expansionism" if Ukraine slipping away from Russia's sphere of influence and making a trade deal with EU since it believes this will be in the long-term interests of its people. However, I believe in the right of people and nations to decide their own destinies. A "catalyst" is not a reason, nor is it a justification.

Planned obsolescence has its upsides. Products that last much longer than people use them are, in a word, wasteful for everyone. They could have been made with less or cheaper material, or faster, or with less engineering.

Computers are a great example, especially when Moore was still going strong, and advancement was obsoleting & retiring computers far more quickly than component failure.

Another (slightly less intuitive) example is automobiles particularly in regards to emissions. If old automobiles were not intentionally obsoleted by smog laws, they would have continued to "waste" air quality.

I think there is quite a lot of related irrationality outside the corporate world. You see it in environments like a committee of volunteers running a club for hobbyists. "Subscription income is down therefore we must raise our subscription fees" seems to be obvious and common sense to many, maybe most people. Pointing out that this is most likely to have the deadly unintended consequence of driving current members away and further reducing income often seems to be fighting against the tide.
Would it be safe to deduce that the decision to counter-intuitively add more of what people dislike is due to executive remuneration being tied to share performance i.e. they don't give a shit if the whole things tanks as long as they vest and get out while they're seemingly profitable?

I say this under the assumption, perhaps naively, that the people in charge are aware that the decision, long-term, is not a very good one and they're playing strategically for their own ends (rather than simply being pants-on-head stupid).

Wait, so Uber spent $900 million dollars? I thought that considering they offload so much of the costs of running of the business( EDIT: through having drivers buy the cars, for example), they wouldn't have such high operating costs.

Though according to this[1] article, Uber's at 3000 employees worldwide. What are those employees doing?

EDIT: For reference, Greyhound's 2014 operating costs were 600 million pounds (50 million in profit).

He's obviously taking the piss.
Could you expand on the "usual" internet marketing routes? What would be some good places for a beginner to start?
This is actually something that is pretty straightforward to find out (assuming you actual want to know the answer). You just jack up the prices in a single market and see how much price elasticity there is.

My feeling is that the taxi-like market is a commodity market, but if I was going to invest at a $50 billion valuation I would want Uber to tell me that have looked into this in detail and can provide me with some hard data.
I like digikam. It mirrors the internal photo albums with directories on the disk, so if you want tot browse tour photo's directly, you can still find them easily. Things like labels, comments and ratings are all stored in a little database file. You can view by album, but also by date or use custom filters.
I've got one four letter word that really helps counter this trend:

But they get very little love. People would rather watch 10 hours a month of commercials than pay $10/month to bypass them.

And there's also laziness. I've seen so many people with cable company DVRs, but they don't FF thru commercials. Huh? Not only are the commercials mind-numbing when viewed for the 50th time, but there's also the matter of 20 minutes lost per hour of viewing.

So what's the model? Put the taxis out of business and then jack up the fares to what the taxis were? Who's winning, then, exactly? Not the consumer...
Doesn't work in my experience. I started not too long ago at a startup whose founder actively publicly campaigns against non-competes. Yet there was still a non-compete in my employment contract, and they wouldn't let me strike it, presumably due to pressure from their lawyers regarding potential investors.

They have laudably since removed the clause, even retroactively from current employees' contracts, but it just goes to show how little bargaining power employees have in the arena of employment contracts.
Sadly the most important ideas are rarely the best funded. For example Zynga has vastly more funds at their disposal than Wikipedia, and I'd challenge anyone to argue that's the right way round.
Yes it should be possible to modelled this out from the surge data. Of course you have to be careful doing this sort of modelling since you might find your model won’t support a $50 billion valuation.
I certainly agree that smart people will quickly develop!

Based on the small size of the company, I must hire people who are intelligent and yet are passed over by the job market because they can't display that with a degree or job experience, and I've found your assertion to be true.

You're probably correct - perhaps given that we pay well and hold fast to 40 hours- it's more likely that there's not much incentive to leave.
It works because modern corporate governance is exclusively concerned with quarterly growth, and the negative effects of these strategies come next quarter when the CEO has moved on. You don't get a bonus for playing the long game; in a public company you have everything to lose and nothing to gain from compromising this quarter in exchange for next.

One of the many reasons (alongside Sarbanes-Oxley) that some large tech companies appear to have chosen not to IPO.
Despite popular belief, apps and communities don't run themselves. Uber is scaling at an ungodly speed, and they're hiring a ton of people to do so. Seriously, look at how many jobs they're hiring for right now: https://www.uber.com/jobs/list (then realize they're doing this in hundreds of cities simultaneously, in addition to the hundreds they're already in).

I'm actually blown away that they're losing so little, given the amount of revenue they're bringing in. Those are, despite what it may seem, really good numbers. If they can reach scale and capture the market (not trivial)... wow.

Shorting exposes you to potentially unlimited losses and you might have to keep putting up money to stay in your position if the market turns against your short position (even if the other side of your trade is working). You'd have to be very sure about your timing or have unlimited funds/credit in order to use that strategy. And even if you made money doing that, it doesn't mean that there isn't a better opportunity elsewhere in the market, risk adjusted or otherwise.

But if it makes you feel good to swear at strangers on the internet, you can sign up for anonymous accounts and say I'm full of shit, and I'll be glad that I could help boost your self esteem.
To expand upon your comment.... those startups used something.ly domains when they were small and just starting out -- i.e. before they could afford to buy something-ly.com. Once they had traction and raised money, they purchased the proper domain. It's the same reason TheFacebook later dropped "The".

In theory if they can lower the costs substantially through innovation over the current taxi model they can grow the market out of private car usage. This would mean all parties (except car manufacturers) will benefit.

I live in France where I wonder whether there's a law against abusive ad sequences, because they're much less intrusive:

Movies/programs start at 9pm. The ad breaks are at 9.45pm and 10.30pm. It means most movies (1.30) have only 1 ad break, series such as X-Files and 24 hours are displayed with uninterrupted episodes. Football games match this format.

Well, when you're in a death spiral, spiral as hard as you can I suppose.
What you are talking about is the idea of sacrificing quality for cost in a sensible manner, so you aren't creating unnecessary cost beyond a needed lifespan. But that's not planned obsolescence.

Planned obsolescence is when you artificially shorten the lifespan of something in order to increase the sales of the product or the next generation of the product in order to generate more revenue.
I am from India and so I can comment on this. A lot of places in India are filthy from many generations. So, people naturally grow into it. To keep a public place clean, you have to educate lots of uneducated/uncouth people, you have to impose fines, you have do identify land for dumping and for operations. Who will pay the money? Though city govts charge garbage disposal fees most of this goes into corrupt politicans pockets. Almost no one India votes the politician who says he will keep your neighbourhood clean. So, no fines for littering. Most college educated people like yours truly have thought about but did not do anything considering that we have to deal with bureaucracy and that it is a constant struggle for atleast one generation. Plus there is social stigma/unsexy in handling garbage.

Middle class and rich neighbourhoods maintain a basic level of cleanliness(move the garbage to a corner/alley). Cities simply dump the garbage in neighbouring villages (which are poor).

Tldr: Its much easier to put up rather that do something about it.
Non-competes are the most anti-American, anti-business, and anti-innovation devices ever created. They are protectionism. They need to end everywhere.

Employment will only be more fruitful with freedom to create and innovate. It encourages companies to pay people with skills in their field. As the country moves to project/entrepreneur based contractual employment this is actually a big issue.
>Hopefully this will help you with your math.

Not particularly, thank you though that was interesting for orthogonal reasons. I already knew the role of memorization in language acquisition and have actually seen quite a bit of that advice on HN prior. (As a further point of evidence for the importance of memory in cognition, notice that Jon Von Neumann had an eidetic memory. I suspect that being able to wholly memorize something at first glance would assist massively with being superintelligent.)

The problem is finding clear examples of what things mean in the first place, or understanding symbols. Mathematics has no standard language of description, and like a natural language it is highly context based. From an outside perspective it is difficult to figure out what is an established concept I should go read more about and what is being introduced as part of the problem for this specific local context.

Moreover there is strictly less mathematics text involved than there is English text, so the training corpus is smaller.
Heh, heh. San Diego is pretty temperate and many of the houses were properly constructed--they don't rely on air conditioning, so you can shrug off the 88* summer days. High ceilings, copious windows and balconies... Slide those doors and windows open, revel in the near-constant ocean breeze, never sweat. Until persistent heat and high humidity (relatively high, still laughable compared to the southern states I hail from) struck southern California year 'round the past few years. Many of my neighbors are installing air conditioning after living without it for 28+ years.

We'll see how El Nino ruins things for us holdouts.

there was a post, a link to TED show that referred to binary applets and how we suppose to think of browser being OS and having a safe environment in it to run small binary networked applets. Javascript was a great expriment and V8 kicks ass and probably best there has been for the browsers - yet model that browser is an app and not OS/Kernel with safe place to run privilged code - I think little will change. Because phones still have too little battery to waste and approach to mobile web that it is a browser and not Kernel or a part of the Kernel, little will change.

Apple has something - their stuff is binary. Android is all Java so there is that barrier beyond getting closer to hardware. Yes I know JVM is pretty fast and there is JIT. But it is not binary.

So that is exactly what I was hoping to see, but the email gate prevented me from moving forward. I entered "utc@ftc.gov" and it worked though. Nice product! Wish I could have seen the growth discovery beta in there. Definitely a different offering than Looker, but still has some nice stuff.

Back to my previous point...are you A/B testing the email gate on demo? You don't tell me how my email will be used, and my only assumption is that it is to add me to some drip mailing list I have no interest in, get your newsletter which I have no interest in, get contacted by a sales person which I have no interest in at that point, etc. All of that leads to me bouncing without seeing how awesome your product is.

I obviously recognize I might be in the minority hence my question about testing, and if the numbers make sense they make sense. Just my $.02 as someone that would likely be a highly-qualified lead and has seen a million sites/products like this.
