I only partially agree with that. There are plenty of more liberal ways to enforce parking payments and rules following. However, cities choose to take advantage of the situation and abuse the system.
For example, SFMTA could easily charge half of what they do for towing and people would still park illegally ONLY when they misunderstood something or lost track of time.
Don't even get me started on meters. Why do chosen people pay $75 for a minute overtime and not all pay for what they overtimed instead? (hint: more money to the city)

At any case, we all know that the system is abused and it has to change at some point. When? That depends on how long all of us are going to let this slide.

"Isä" and "äiti".
Anecdotally, after riding ~1000 miles on a Boosted Board on the streets/bike lanes of SF, I've had dozens positive or neutral comments/questions from cyclists and only one negative one.

Of course people tend to avoid confrontation, so that's not necessarily a good indicator of sentiment. And their opinions may change as the density of electric skateboard riders increases.
I've watched them from up close; that "device" is simply an Android smartphone. If you've parked over time (in 75 or 90 minute zones, they'll take a picture of their chalk mark too.)

The ones I don't like are the robot "meter maid" cars studded with license plate readers and cameras - no need form them to mark each car, it just alerts when they're passing one that was there during their last lap. Easier for them maybe, but as a parker I prefer the chalk so I can tell whether they've come by yet or not.

p.s. I'm in SB too - let's grab a coffee.

Well, the compiled code is available, and if they provide the source code, you can verify that it compiles to the code on chain (or, you can analyze the code on chain without the source code of the contract, but that is harder).

The source code for the contract can be made to have a proof of correctness in it, or, as it is probably not all that long, if you look at the source code long enough you can be sufficiently convinced that it runs how you expect it to.

Regarding the problems with turing completeness, any transaction is guaranteed to finish within a particular number of steps, because the transaction includes an amount of "gas", which puts a limit to how many steps the contract will run. If it runs out of gas before finishing, all the changes in the state are reverted (but the person still pays the gas cost). If it finishes, then the extra "gas" is returned. (the transaction specifies some "gas cost", which is how much ether per gas or gas per ether (idr) , and some amount of ether, which is the max cost the transaction is allowed to take. There aren't "gas balances", any "gas" that is transferred just is ether at the end. Its just a unit of how much computation, and the gas price is how much they are willing to pay per amount of computation. I feel like I didn't explain this well...)

Checking that the contracts were run correctly is done by anyone verifying the block which contains the contract call. If the miner runs the contract incorrectly, then the people verifying the block will not accept the block as valid, so people won't mine on the block, so it wont end up in the main chain, so the miner will not receive anything from mining the block, and what happens in the wrong execution wont effect anything.

I'm not sure if this explanation has been very clear, but I hope it has been clear enough. I can try again if it isn't though.

There are a few projects working on this. One problem is key management and giving the app a connection to the blockchain. If you do key management in the webapp and read from the blockchain via a centralized API, thats not much of an improvement over existing systems. Ethereum core's solution to this is a special browser, but it is still under development. I'm working on a project[0] that takes this on, but is still a couple months out from a public beta. Its a bit of a hack but it manages a zero-install solution by having a sort of browser-in-browser that intercepts transaction signing requests and provides access to blockchain data. Can't wait to get it out there.

Oh, I know how that works. I'm a lawyer, although not at a big firm, so I'm not sure how much they bill their paralegals out at.
They shouldn't be on roads either.

What bikes have that electric skateboards don't is stability -- it's extremely rare for a cyclist doing 20mph to suddenly fall off entirely, but falling off a skateboard is pretty easy.
the DAI project (originally eDollar, which is now intended to be built using DAI) which tracks a value which I think is like, some basket of different currencies, is being worked on.

the templating system is basically just a sed regex. 500 files should be fine though, so my guess is that the imagemagick error was parsed as input to the template, and when the script tried to insert that message into the template it overflowed the pipe.

Do you still get the error if the corrupted image is removed? If the files aren't too big, could you post it somewhere?

I think it's a mistake to only look at margins. We should also look at economies of scale. In the future, as margins get lower, it is compensated by more customers. Also, whenever margins get lower, successful businesses tend to provide additional value and charge for it. It is already happening in cloud services. Few years ago, it was fully IaaS and now it's moving towards more PaaS. Who knows what will come next? I can already see so many things that could be done better, and that's just me.
Well shit man, I guess the system works perfectly.

> Give me a spec as complete as precise and as a blueprint for a building or a bridge and I can give you a pretty good estimate.

I would argue that that would in fact be the source code for the program!

I know that sounds flippant, but - civil engineers and architects will correct me I'm sure - a blueprint to me is a set of pretty clear and hopefully unambiguous instructions, just not necessarily in a chronologically ordered list format. To torture the metaphor even further: the act of building the building from the blueprints is the same as running the program.

The key difference is that in the case of building a computer program the hard part is writing the instructions and in the case of building a building the hard part is execution of the instructions. Building designers have the advantage of centuries (millennia, even) of knowledge and some pretty hard limitations set by physics. Money and time aside, computer program designers are more or less limited by hardware and imagination.

I really do hope someday programmers will look back at conversations like this and think not that their counterparts of the past just needed to deal with it and be more professional but that we just didn't know any better way, yet.

Ok - you think so, I don't. So we can agree to have a difference of opinion.

However - on my side is every single real-life example of success in tech. EVERY SINGLE successful technology company was NOT diverse (and only once they get big enough to be targeted by diversity scammers that they start to pay lip service to this). Therefore if diversity was indeed at all important, wouldn't you be able to point to examples of more diverse companies being actually more successful? Heretofore the empirical argument is 100% against you.
Yeah, what was the plan in Libya? And why did we dump Hozni Mubarak in Egypt almost handing a friendly country over to the Muslim brotherhood. And obama did not support rebellion in iran during the Arab spring. And openly snubbing Israel all the time, confirming they have nukes out of spite... Total confusion over what to do with Syria. Ditching the Iraqis. Russia running circles around us in Ukraine and Syria.

Obama's foreign policy and leadership at state has been a complete mess, stirring up hornets nests all over the world.
Just one of many pronunciation drifts that occurred between the UK and its American colonies at some point between 1620 and 1788. Largely it seems the Americans kept the old pronunciations while the mother country changed theirs, which is why the English of Shakespeare's time sounds a bit American.
It's interesting that high star restaurants are expected to not serve more common ingredients. I went to Manresa in Los Gatos once. Very good but I felt that I was being filled with bread (which was divine) between courses but would have preferred to see what they could do with chicken as a cheap filler instead. Now I have some idea why they would not use it as a filler dish.

I also find that if a place like Oaxaca has no Michelin stared restaurants, the Michelin guide is limited to a kind of food and not necessarily the best food the world has to offer. Though I am probably overly partial to mole in it's various forms...

Because "Uh..we'll send you a bill when we're done for...like...whatever it costs. I guess?" Isn't going to go over well when responding to a potential clients RFP. It's that or give them an estimate, unless you have a 3rd way?

Also, how did you come to the conclusion that "project management doesn't work" is a historical fact?

Also also, if your teams' estimates are a farce you might consider starting to track time spent on projects and build up a base of real world numbers you can use as guidelines for future estimates. It worked wonders for us.
Yeah, good point. We knew about this but the accuracy wasn't all that great. Our algorithm is fuzzy and can find results even if they are transcribed incorrectly (even today, every speech transcription technology out there still makes plenty of mistakes).
Yes, but in a public school, who is really the employer?
When we run into stuff like that at work we budget a set number of hours to breaking the problem up into chunks, researching and prototyping the sticky parts, and then using that information to put together a realistic estimate. We call it a "planning project".

Here's the part where I don't get it. Doesn't this happen to other industries, like banking, politic, entertainment, etc?

The framing it as “hey tech, we have a sexist problem” is making it sounds like there's no sexist problem in other industry.

I'm not supportive of sexism in the industry, but when it is framed that way, a part of me just couldn't bring myself to align with it.

We can say, hey sexism is a society issue but we tech industry can do better than others. We proud ourselves as the progressive front runner of civilization, so let's make sure we show it.

If you remove [tech] from the title, this article will still make sense, doesn't it?

A heads up on the homepage, the video you featured Steve Carrell and Jimmy Fallon with the keyword "pantaloons" is captioned as "the wrong kind pantaloons ah", when the spoken phrase was "the wrong kind of pantaloons on" - maybe this is me being paranoid and pedantic, but I feel like having a featured video with a pre-selected keyword that returns flawed captions gives a worse impression than just having the video flags without any captions at all. I understand you guys are still refining the product but highlighting one of your flaws (however small) so early on can rub people the wrong way.

On a separate note, when I google "lexika search engine" I get your old homepage lexika.co instead of the one linked here, lexika.io. Consider setting up a redirect from .co to .io?

Almost this exact thing happened to me during this summer (2015). It ended up that I was experiencing a stress related break.

I was so incredibly convinced at the time that someone was intercepting my calls and playing back snippets to me. It was terrible. My mom drove from another country to take care of me. My brother came in. I made an embarrassment of myself on my social media. I freaked the fuck out of my roommates and all the friends I had at university.

I was on vyvanse and aderoll like drug at the time for adhd. It seems these things may have been related.

All I can say now is. Put the phone away. Post everywhere that you're sick and going to be out for a few. Take a nap. If you can't nap try and burn the energy off somehow. Then sleep.

And remember that while it really hurts the ego, everyone around you just wants to see you feeling like yourself. Hack or not.

If its a hack you can trace it after you're feeling more like yourself. If not then ohwell. You got weird for a bit. It happens. Life's weird.

I wish you the best! Good luck.

I am on a similar boat as you are with respect to the prospect of genomes revolutionizing health and the necessity and advantage of making it available openly (or at least to the researchers). Right now, most of the differences in humans tend to be more biological rather than ideological. The one thing that bothers me is - are our ideological differences just because of our biological differences? It just goes back to the question of free will. If there is no free will and we are just driven by what our genes dictate, all of us end up being very similar like machines. Then we can only be different by choosing different things intentionally. Are we really mature enough to do that? I am not sure if this belongs to the topic here but something I keep thinking once in a while and would like to know what others here think.
In order to win a star, Michelin has to produce a guide for the area. There are only three cities in the United States that have a guide (I believe: San Francisco, Chicago, and New York). So you won't find a michelin starred restaurant in New Orleans for instance, which sort of undermines the prestige of the whole thing.

There are many many great restaurants in the world that are not Michelin eligible, which is a real shame.
The SFMTA is a racket. I've had the misfortune to have to deal with them on a few occasions and they are some of the least accountable people working for the government.

I went thru the whole process of contacting their supervisors directly to dispute tickets [they sometimes presume you're not home and aware] and it basically boiled down to their word vs mine. Such BS.

I would love to see the agency dissolved, but it makes too much money needed to sustain other pet projects that this sacred cow is going nowhere, unfortunately.

My vain hope is they sue these municipalities to get access to those county (public?) resources which would allow them to operate in those communities again.

Other popular visas aren't immigration visas either. Your point doesn't hold since by large peoples attitudes doesn't differ between immigrants and temporary workers, if people are from outside or inside the country nor relate to immigrants that settle outside the bay area. They are maybe protectionistic, anti-urbanization or anti-development but not anti-immigrant per se.
Nah, it's more of a "ma" sound with a short "a".

Now what's interesting is that this sound is closer to how an American might pronounce a short "o" (I think of a southern belle fanning herself and saying "lawd it's haaaht") and how an Englishman might say a short "u". It's not exactly the same vowel but I can see how it develops.

Both versions of English think babies say "mama", but you can't shorten that to "mam" because you'd use a different "a" to pronounce that.
Since technology did what it does by enabling unexpected competitors to pass Microsoft, would there have been a purpose beyond the purely political? It's hard to say they have a monopoly on anything now, not even the badwill of the geeks.
Yeah for sure! This site is basically a demo/test for our backend.

We built an API that processes audio and forms an index for that file. The API search function then goes into that index to look for queries. It doesn't just look for words that match the text you see, but also the way it sounds.

Agree 100%. Requiring an active server and database seems like overkill for a site that's read-only (or very nearly so)

You could easily replace his rsync with an s3cmd sync to ship the stuff straight to the S3 bucket.

Sure, S3 may cost more per byte shipped than serving it yourself, but probably not for a personal site (if you factor in the need to pay for a running server and the extra hassles and time cost involved with maintaining that server). You can pay for a lot of S3 bandwidth with what you pay for even a cheap VPS.

I can see the "tax on the poor" argument on one hand, but on the other hand permit parking areas are soooo much nicer to live in than playing a parking lottery every night, if you don't have on-site parking. And that wouldn't work without enforcement. I'm not in favor of free parking for all, there just isn't enough public road space out here.
That's glossing over quite a lot of details.

I'm not Common Lisper, but actually CL distribution is trivial compared to JVM (for user applications, not servers). It's possible to create native executables, which don't need any frameworks to exist on the target systems. So deploying CL may take more work (making multiple executables), but the programs itself don't need users to have some frameworks installed before.

Accuracy/Confidence is calculated based on the number of workers who have submitted an answer and the accuracy score that each one of those workers has.

In order to increase accuracy %, we simply push the task out to more workers. i.e. the exact same image moderated by 3 high-quality workers may have a 90% confidence level while pushing it out to 5 high-quality workers may increase that confidence to 95%.

Ask HN: How to decide on Enterprise pricing
I have a saas app in the $12-$29/month range.

I've been approached by a large enterprise org for pricing on a private server instance. The company is very large, in the hundreds of millions revenue per year.

I know it's a 'how long is a piece of string?' type question, but I was wondering if you had some advice with regard to pricing.

I would be providing a managed private server for this org. My raw costs for server and data would run about $100/month.

Thanks.
We can handle both .mp3 and .mp4. The current pricing we have listed is the base price per api call for simple image moderation. Longer/more complex tasks will of course cost more. Feel free to fill out the form on the website and someone from our team will reach out to you with more details. Thanks!
Why? It doesn't really address any of the issues raised, it's just another system to support and another source of potentially bad clients.
