>First, the drivers aren't even Romani.

This makes your argument worse, not better. The term "gypsy cab" derives from a racist stereotype of the Romani[1]. How can a term with a racist etymology not be racist?

Imagine any group of people appropriating traditionally-derogatory ethnic slurs for another group to describe themselves. How is that okay?

As for the Pullitzer Prize winner, that article is from 1986, more than a bit out-dated. Bizarrely, the author even defends the verb "to gyp" as not being racist because it's only one syllable. Imagine the sheer outrage if the verb "to nig" came into popular usage and referred to a negative stereotypical activity.

Why am I even arguing this? The fact that the term "gypsy cab" uses the name of an ethnic group to refer to a stereotypically negative trait of that group should completely and utterly speak for itself.

It's not "too PC".

Sorry but where can I try FAROO without downloading an app or connecting to an API?
So would it be fair to say that effectively Faroo works by:

1. Scanning your browser cache for the sites you visit.

2. Setting a ranking to the sites in your browser cache, based on how frequently you visit the site.

3. Merging this site + ranking information with other Faroo users in a search index.

4. Distributing the search index in a distributed way, perhaps all nodes only having a fraction of the total index to prevent storage issues.

If that's a simplified version of what is happening then I could see it working. If I've misunderstood something let me know.
What I'd do is list as many as I can without making it look like random name dropping. Basically try to relate the skills to past jobs, projects, experiences etc.
If iOS is your primary skill don't be afraid to call yourself an "iOS developer". You're much more than that, but if somebody is looking for an iOS developer they want an iOS developer.

Is the difference between you and your colleagues just the skills and experiences listed? Same school, age , nationality, ethnicity etc? It could be that you're being filtered out by something that seems completely arbitrary.
I don't like this sentence from the wikipedia page [1]:

> The price of the full direct to consumer testing service in the United States has reduced from $999 in 2007 to $99 in 2012, and it is effectively being sold as a loss leader in order to build a valuable customer database.

First, why can't companies these days just sell me a product for the cost price plus a margin? This seems like a fair way of doing business.

Second, what do they want to do with my data? Why do they think it is valuable (will they sell it)? Why can't I just get my data without them keeping a copy of it?

(It isn't because they offer an online comparison/discovery tool, since they could easily offer that as a downloadable app, so they don't need my data on their servers; it also isn't because they need to do research on the data, i.e., to find correlations, because they could make that voluntary).

> How long were you on hold while your kid was clutching his arm?

None at all. Possibly less time than I would have spent with a 911 operator asking me my address and whatnot.

> Many people are not good at judging what is an emergency

Perhaps, but I think in the main emergency care is an outlier in relative terms. I have no citation for you, but I just can't imagine that emergency care (i.e., you don't have time to make decisions about who to see, etc) is a very large proportion of healthcare dollars spent (and is also where insurance can actually make sense).

I think the goal should be to optimize the system for non-emergency care by making it a consumer-oriented market. As long as third parties are spending most of the money it can't be that, and until we have price transparency, the control of expenditures can never be with the patient.
I should add that, as a customer of Square's customers, I breath a sigh of relief every time I see a restaurant or small business using Square for point of sale. It means I'll get email receipts, that I won't have to calculate tips, that I'm unlikely to get mischarged, that my credit card info isn't passing through some half-assed amateur homebrew system, etc. It means I'm not trying to understand whether to push X or the green button for credit rather than debit, it means I can write a nice signature with my finger rather than some terrible low-res scratch with a bad plastic pen in a tiny box, etc.

As someone who uses other people's payment systems, Square makes me happy. It's a product that respects the users.
For me, the most interesting thing about my 23andMe results was that my Y chromosome confirmed the family rumor that my grandfather was not actually the son of his father. If enough people join 23andMe, it's possible that I may find my actual relatives.

Many people find this sort of thing creepy. I'm OK with it.

And on an even-more-personal note, as a guy with long hair, it was exciting to learn that I didn't have the male pattern baldness gene, even though my maternal grandfather was bald as an egg by the time he turned 40.

I didn't realize you could get the raw data. I looked a bit on their website and didn't find anything indicating you can. What format(s) will they export?
TLDR: If the process is purely mathematical chance such as dice rolling, hot hand fallacy holds. If the process takes into account the actor's state, such as being more confident or focused during a winning streak or because of consecutive wins, the hot hand fallacy does not apply.
Was that the plan then? You'd need to have one hundred percent purity nitrogen with no oxygen and no water, is it really possible to keep it at the level of purity you need?
At least one big difference is ownership. With lavabit, the company owned the code and infrastructure that was used in a "crime". With an iOS device, Apple has sold the device to an individual who is now responsible for that device. That's a huge difference.

The government has been using third-party doctrine as a weak link to exploit to get stuff it wants. Apple essentially removed themselves from the situation so that they are no longer a third-party responsible for the desired data.

Certainly I did not mean to make anyone feel accused; sorry. I purposely didn't name names or comments; I was just making a general point.

To address your points: Whatever someone's reasoning, words like 'absurd' create an atmosephere where ridicule and sniping are acceptable, which I think deters more thoughtful discussion. For one, other commenters follow the example and do the same (see my quotes of PG in my other post, above). But also, who wants to put the effort into a thoughtful comment, sharing what they know, when they see that the response may very well be more thoughtless ridicule? It attracts the worse comments and deters the valuable stuff.

How much of their own capital did the employees risk?
My thoughts as well.

This is why I feel some people will never "let" AI happen. They want 100% certainty. Neural nets scare them. Despite the fact that real, human intelligence carries no certainty. You either have intelligence, and creativity, and uncertainty, and accidents. Or you have computers and rigid logic.

The interesting thing there is, when a space rocket malfunctions, when a car wrecks, or the stock market goes crazy... and it's a computer involved, it's always human error at the end of it. And, thus, intelligence that caused the problem. Computers mindless do exactly the thing they were given to do.

They get about 6000 applicants, though. For it to be useful to an applicant, it has to be something that can raise you from "app would be ignored" to "might be interviewed", which means they have to do it on every application. At five minutes per company, that's more like 500 hours, or about 60 person-days.

I suspect this was more of a factor when most of the YC partners read HN as part of their day. Then it was "free" work for them - they just would recognize usernames that pop up. I think Trevor's the only one still active on a daily basis here, so the chance that you'll draw a reader who actively reads HN and has some name recognition for top commenters is much lower.

Also, the bar for "name recognition" is much higher now. I'm #23 on /leaders (I'd peaked out at #2 way back in 2008, when I was doing my first startup, but dropped significantly while hiding out within Google) and still feel like I don't really have any useful name recognition here.

How does R compare to SAS? I work in Engineering and we use SAS pretty heavily for a lot of stuff (simple modelling, time series forecasting, multiple regressions that type of thing). One thing I really like is how well integrated SQL is does R have something similar to PROC SQL? That is really the killer feature of SAS for me.
I mentioned this to another person in the thread. Worth repeating. Take lots of curcumin every day for the rest of your life. It has been shown to bind to a-beta protein and get cleared from the brain. The overproduction of a-beta causes alzheimers. India, where they consume lots of turmeric (curcumin is an extract from turmeric) has significantly lower incidence (very very low) of alzheimers. You'll be fine.
> So the government can't force Toyota to push a firmware update to fix faulty electronic throttles?

No the government should not be allowed to force such things. Civil liability lawsuits should be enough to get Toyota to willingly act in its own self interest by making a good faith effort to remedy a mistake it made.

Yeah, I was and 23andMe customer before the ban, and I loved the data it provided. In particular, I thought 23andMe did an excellent job of describing the statistics behind genetics in layperson terms (that is, it wasn't "you're going to get this disease", but "out of a 100 people, 3 people without this gene got it, but 6 people with this gene did get it", together with great illustrations and more details to explain the probability). I thought the fact that the FDA thought consumers would be confused or overwhelmed by the analysis was kind of insulting to anyone with an elementary school education.

Media attention may well be the biggest motivator for such actions, but once someone gives in to their murderous impulses guns make it very easy to kill a lot of people, simply by being highly optimized. You can quickly kill more people with a bomb, but they're relatively hard to manufacture and deploy; you can very easily kill someone with a knife or any number of other close-quarters weapons, but it's not reliable or efficient to do so. Thus, while soldiers deployed in combat usually have a knife and may well have hand grenades or other explosives, firearms are the primary weapons by a mile.

I'm not in favor of gun confiscation (and don't plan on getting into any arguments on gun policy today) but it would be absurd to ignore the technological-economic impact of guns on the production of murder. Suggesting that media eschew reporting the news, even to the point of sensationalizing it, is irrational given both what we know about human behavior and the constitutional safeguards against censorship in the US. To be honest, I think people who blame the media are simply demonstrating their own strong preference for social proof and then projecting that motivation onto murderous individuals. It is very likely a significant factor but I don't think we have anywhere near enough data to conclude that it is a primary motivator.

If they are spending their own money then they are not in debit...it is only if they are borrowing. Either case it is a paper loss except in the former case the example you give is reversed.
It means the business has positive free cash flow; it takes in more money than it spends in a year (i.e. it's not going bankrupt), but the paper value of assets it owns (largely intangible goodwill from acquisitions) is written down, meaning that they take a loss.

This is generally a win, if you're expanding, because it means you pay no tax on your free cash.
Historically that was not true at all. This cycle it has been true, but I'm not sure if that is because of increase compliance cost post Sarbox, increased risk of activist investors choking off growth, or increased availability of private capital.

That is incorrect. The shares of Khosla Ventures and Sequoia Capital are shown both in the "5% Stockholders" and again shown in the "Executive Officers and Directors" section since both firms also hold seats on the board. Also, investors holding <5% stake are not represented.

The real math is 33.6% to investors holding a >5% stake, 38.8% to execs & directors, and 27.6% not represented (probably a mix of investors and the employee option pool)
