Ha! So many haters and misconceptions, and general cynicism. Something about menswear makes guys go a little nuts these days. And the general assumption that every factory in Asia is a sweatshop is frankly racist / xenophobic. What I love about Bonobos is that as a startup fan and participant, they've been way more candid on most things around their business than they needed to be. Andy's articles on Medium have been fascinating. But, as usual today, most people make snap judgments about one particular thing based on their singular experience without thinking about the broader implications and opportunities. I'd guess those commenters aren't very good at VC investing?
Both those articles were frustrating - the PT one is just promoting a book and the Atlantic one provides only one example. A little more information (based on the latter article's author's book) is available here: http://humaneeducation.org/blog/2010/07/19/imagine-a-differe...

Notwithstanding his murderous behavior, Kaczynski's manifesto is absolutely worth reading. Though uneven, it contains some profound insights, many of which will resonate with anyone interested in social theory.

That's more the Uber app's fault than the driver's. I've chatted with drivers about this; the app doesn't actually tell you where the pickup is, it just starts the navigation. It seems to be a security measure.
Think in terms of a car:

Growth metrics usually measure velocity, not speed. They don't measure the MPH that you're traveling, they measure how fast you accelerate from one speed to another.

So in your example, the speed you're traveling (75k sessions per month) is staying constant (you're not accelerating), so your velocity (growth rate), month over month, is zero.
yeah, I realize it's not going to cure back pain, I just want it to improve my musculature. I think I keep pulling things because I'm at a computer all day and don't do a lot of movements/stretches.
Basically there are three reasons to IPO, one you are "forced" into it because the number of individual investors has crossed a predefined threshold of 499, second you are scaling the business and this gives you access to the public markets for capital, or third you are running low on cash on hand and nobody is willing to lead a new round with your current structure.

Given the wailing and gnashing of teeth this time last year [1] when Square raised $150M on a $6B valuation, it is entirely possible this is their last change to raise capital. If it doesn't work, and they can't cross the line into operationally cash flow positive they will become one of the larger unicorns to die this season. I really hope it isn't the case because I love their product and their service, but the S-1 doesn't paint a picture of hope. Doing some back of the envelope calculations I can't see any scale where they are profitable given their current fee structure.

Blaming media has gotten increasingly popular for a variety of societal ills. It's just a favorite boogeyman to go after. Much like people who blame violent video games or 4chan.

The ulterior motive is to use the situation to disparage something they already don't like.
> Translation: sitting is still bad for you, but standing
> isn't any better, which puts a pin in the standing desk fad.

Unfortunately the study [1] did not quantify standing at all! They only measured (self-reported) time spent sitting, so they really shouldn't make any claims about standing desks or even standing generally. I suppose there is an implicit assumption that time not spent sitting is time spent standing, but that is pretty weak in my opinion.

Furthermore, I don't think that aggregate time spent sitting is the right measure. We know that uninterrupted sitting is a known risk factor for deep vein thrombosis because since calf muscle contractions are important for preventing blood clots in the leg vasculature [2]. So a better measure would be the length of continuous sitting without breaks. It's very plausible that 300 minutes of sitting with 10 minute breaks every 50 minutes might be healthier than sitting for 5 hours straight without any breaks at all (and then taking an hour break at the end).

1. http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/10/09/ije.d...

2. I note that the calf muscles are continuously contracting while standing. So standing desks could be a good idea for persons with increased risk of DVT. Of course, standing desks might not confer any benefit over simply standing periodically. This should be studied directly.
Personally, I feel like a moron most of the time when I'm here on HN. The caliber of engineers here is astounding. So, I comment here hoping for clarification. I'm nowhere near the level of engineering necessary to feel confident to blog.

EDIT: I understand optimizing search algorithms to create better P=NP O(n) solutions. So, I guess I not totally stupid.
Exactly. I receive their catalog and I don't understand their angle. Is it cheaper than Banana? No. Is the quality better? I have no idea. Are the styles better? They appear to standard, possibly even more plain and boring ala J Crew. So why am I buying it? When I first heard of them I figured someone was finally making a quality shirt for say $50-$60. Seems like an good angle. But instead it's just another expensive shirt. Why?
Dwolla is nothing more than a fancy front-end on top of a credit union in Iowa. I tried to use it for my business back in 2011, but it was just too slow -- takes 2 weeks for money to get in (1 week transfer from their bank account to Veridian and 1 week from Veridian to your bank account) and 2 weeks for money to get out (same in the other direction). Very disappointing.

Harassed as many people as I could for information on FiSync so I could try to offer integration to local credit unions and banks and couldn't get any real information out of them on it; it was a phantom program back when I was looking.
I always give them the highest reasonable number I can come up with. For one thing, whatever you give them is the floor - if you say "I expect $140k" and then counter a $140k offer you're likely to piss them off.

I don't think giving them a low number is likely to actually generate more offers. Think of yourself as a Veblen Good - if the price is too low companies wonder about the quality and actually want you less. That's my theory, anyway.

It's hard to know if I've ever lost an offer by going to high, but I've never had any trouble getting offers, so I doubt it. I have had companies come back and say something like "We can't offer what you were expecting, but we do have a great benefits package we think will compensate." It doesn't, but it allows you to take the offer without losing face.

It has been a few years since I looked for a job, so it's possible things have changed. That's what I'd still do, though.
If people can't tell the difference between your spam filter and a censor, at least you've passed the Turing test.
To be fair, it does happen more often in America, which may provide some information to see the underlying conditions that lead to the kind of desperate isolation seen in these manifestos.
Personally, I think you either should disregard equity altogether or accrue as much as possible if it'll be of a reasonable size.
I find the following Pandas code pretty easy to read:

(df
.groupby(['a', 'b', 'c'], as_index=False)
.agg({'d': sum, 'e': mean, 'f', np.std})
.assign(g=lambda x: x.a / x.c)
.query("g > 0.05")
.merge(df2, on='a'))

There are now methods in pandas to do pretty much anything, so you can chain them together into one easy-to-read manipulation without lots of intermediate variables.
I wonder how hard Uber is working on an autonomous car... Bye bye driving jobs!
It appears they are relying on a combination of not documenting their ranking algorithm and updating it periodically to prevent spammers from flooding the system with bogus "attention" signals. I'll leave determining the likelihood of this approach being successful as an exercise for the reader.
I'm sorry, could you explain in a bit more detail? It sounds like what you're saying is that your sister's husband signed up for 23andMe and sent in his DNA sample. Then, 23andMe said "based on your DNA, we believe another of our members is likely your niece, here is her contact info...". Then, your sister's husband contacted this person (the potential niece), and after some chatting it seemed likely that your sister's husband's brother was indeed the girl's biological father, and this was then later confirmed with additional DNA testing.

If this is in fact the story, doesn't this seem like an invasion of privacy on the part of 23andMe?
And this is why I will never get a magnet implant, despite the wicked cool ability to sense active AC power lines.
Take it further. Is a lock Pelican case suspicious? I've used them constantly to ship technology equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars. Now what if I'm moving coke around in them, with Uber drivers doing the deliveries. Who is going to question locked gear with a bunch of mundane shipping stickers on the outside?

Interesting times!

Hello taxing Uber's revenue!

What? You thought getting rid of jobs gets your business off the hook for helping pay for civilization?
Since it's magnet, did it break the electronic devices the "lifters" were carrying?
The change applies only to unscalable viewports. That's a shame, because it means some developers will disable pinch-to-zoom to get a faster click response. That makes this yet another unfortunate conflict between usability and accessibility. The older I get, the more I appreciate being able to zoom (I'm viewing this page at 125% on desktop right now).
Honestly, I think Swift is a pretty good ML-like on its own merits. A lot of the other options have snags that might make Swift look appealing.

Haskell is really weird. Even for someone reasonably experienced in functional programming, there are tons of new concepts you need to master to be minimally productive in the language. Beyond that, it introduces a whole new problem class of space leaks that you need to reason about. It's not a bad language, but it is a much more radical leap from anything else you're likely to have tried than Swift is.

OCaml is fairly verbose, still doesn't have a great parallelism story AFAIK, and has a quirky type system (1.5 + 1.5 is a type error) and a not-very-well-loved standard library.

Rust can be pretty hard to use and not very ergonomic. If anybody's first Rust stab at a Rust program doesn't run into "such-and-such does not live long enough," that's pretty astonishing. You have to think about a lot more than with Swift.

F# is tied to .NET, which is sufficient to be unappealing for a lot of people.
Ugh... This change is of course totally logical in isolation, but I fear that this will motivate designers and developers to disable pinch-zooming on their sites (more than they already are). I hate when websites do this, and it is generally considered terrible for accessibility.
I use SAS professionally at my job, and R in all my academic/hobby work. R has a couple packages that give similar functionality as PROC SQL (about 95% of my SAS workflow, since it's far nicer than data steps for a lot of things). There's an ODBC package (RODBC), as well as SQLDF, which allows you to use SQL queries to manipulate data frames in R.

While there is (almost?) always a way to do a SQL query using idiomatic R, I have to admit that sometimes my brain thinks up a solution in SQL faster (a product of upbringing).
So... security through obscurity?

After 6 moths of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids, I felt like ending it all, i almost committed suicide because he left us with nothing, i was emotionally down all this while. Thanks to a man called Dr Aisabu of Aisabu temple which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I came across several testimonies about this particular man. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he prayed to stop divorce and get a good paid job so on. He is amazing, i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Shannon , she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped his email. (aisabulovespell@gmail.com) After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48hours, my husband came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than ever. DR Aisabu you are a gifted man and thank you for everything you had done in my life. If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster, Try him anytime, he is the answer to your problems. you can contact him on aisabulovespell@gmail.com,,,,,
Probably so people can't poach uber riders with a competing service. You could easily accept riders, relay their location to your services drivers, then cancel the pickup in the Uber app right as your driver shows up.

Sounds like something Uber themselves would do come to think of it.

Based on my own experience with a standing desk, I do move significantly more when standing versus sitting. This might be less true in an office environment, where I might feel the need to constrain my movement some to avoid distracting others. But at home, where my standing desk is, it's actually pretty liberating to be able to move around so easily.

This is just an anecdote, but it's hard for me to imagine someone just standing like a statue for hours on end.
I have heard that giving your doctor information about genetic conditions may result in treatment for those conditions being excluded by your health insurance (because they're "pre-existing").
Seems to me this is by design, to avoid wasting massive amounts of power when the hammer wasn't being grasped.

A Pro Mini draws a tiny amount of power, I'm talking tens of milliamps- he could leave this hammer somewhere for weeks probably without the batteries dying, with the occasional passerby trying and failing to pick it up. To manage that with the magnet running constantly would be impossible.

I think FiSync and Square both benefit from a vertical merger (I'm considering then to be in separate market spaces rather than competitors; which certainly could be debated). Both get a near term benefit of the expanded customer base which should help them expand. FiSync would benefit Square as would Dwolla Credit as a credit card alternative

Credit cards won't be immediately replaced as they are accepted virtually everywhere. I think Square could be positioned well to replace credit cards though using the old Microsoft model of embrace, extend, extinguish.

Embrace credit cards in the short game. Extend with direct payments (bank to bank and alternative line of revolving credit). Extinguish; pull the plug on the credit card companies once they achieve high enough rate of adoption.

But you can also have to look at it as a percent of revenue. If their revenue growth is 100%, 200%, 500% then those losses are diminishing as a percentage of revenue.

I actually didn't look up what their revenue growth was, I am just saying that is the case. But either way, it doesn't paint a really rosy picture.
Maybe the reason it hasn't is because farmers markets and coffeeshops don't represent significant cashflow. They are a good fit in those markets, but in that area they have a big piece of what amounts to a small pie.

>It sounds crazy that it actually works but I'm not the one who is going to argue with markets.

It can be a great tactic if the businesses you build/buy are the same your shareholders would buy with the dividends you'd pay out since you'll save them some taxes. Since the mother company can also hope to add some value to the businesses it buys the end result can be quite interesting. Buffet's Berkshire is based on this kind of setup.
