Serious questions:

If sports viewing goes online (like MotoGP) wouldn't the organization lose a considerable amount of money and effectively ruin their relationships with tv networks that pay serious money for rights coverage? I'm of the mindset MotoGP is doing ok because they never had insane tv rights viewership or distribution. Another example, the NHL has their online viewing program but it blocks out regional games or games with specific rights attributions.

And then, theoretically, let's say these organizations do survive by moving all (or the vast majority of) their viewers onto their own live platform - would that be considered a monopoly of some sorts by forcing out all the other players?

That being said, I'm totally ok with all of this because the cable box as we know it is dying fast and sports are the only thing keeping it alive.
You're right, the business attire arms race is a real occurance. I'm being a bit dramatic, but I remember an office that stopped wearing sneakers for that reason.
I'm working on a small Open Source web based generator for it, writing it in Go. :) It'll be done in a few days, I'll show it on HN.

Say you have a library which has some kind of internal state, and the consistency of said internal state is important for memory safety, as other operations rely on it.

Using assert! to verify that your state is consistent is useful, in case you have a bug. But since it's all internal, it's not something that the caller can really recover from, either. It's not their fault, it's yours.
I once worked with a guy who, when we were discussing vegetarianism, veganism and the like, explained to us that he ate all except any kind of mammalian meat. No beef, pork, or rabbit, but tuna or alligator where perfectly fine!
False equivalence.

Consultants have been around for a long time. And they command a high rate, because they are pros. No, they aren't an employee, nor would either side want them to be. They do the job, paid well, and part company. Most consultants get paid somewhere between $150-$400/hr . I know of one who's compensation is $500/hr.

This new thing, the "sharing economy" is a way to shove out employees from their protected status and government-fought for rights into the plan that mainly the professionals occupied. Instead, the companies that uses these tools figured out the masses can be convinced that these roles are better, somehow. These people are evident by the fact that they "work" for one company, have standards in which they must follow, and are paid around the low-middle wage for their services (8-12$/hr).

Big differences:

1. Wage disparity

2. Knowledge

3. Lawyer or legal team

4. Difference of liabilities

5. "Works for" but not really

Tl;Dr. This is an intentional misclassification to skirt employment law.
I don't think so, at least it seems to be completely managed by the two organisations running it & I didn't see it mentioned in context of the hackathon. It also doesn't use a custom-made interface, but is using the uMap service: http://umap.openstreetmap.fr (So the biggest need probably is data, not code)

> "We didn’t figure out how to deliver a consistently high-quality service"

The review sites agree and so does their churn rate. If you don't have a high quality service, you don't have anything. Trying to hack growth numbers with Groupons and extreme discounts while ignoring retention numbers demonstrates a lack of respect for the dynamics (basic math) and suggests expectations of a 'silver bullet' to success.

Additionally, home cleaning has got to be one of the most subjective services you could choose. Who doesn't idealize an absolutely spotless home, but act very differently themselves when tasked with actually achieving it. "This shiny new Internet will solve my problems perfectly." Unfortunately, all you're really getting is an under-trained, underpaid human laborer.
I'd be interested in reading about that theory, if you have any good resources. I assumed it was for pragmatic reasons. I wonder if the theories consider a context of the opportunities the Internet would create, or if they assume an offline context.
That almost sounds like a human interaction problem. Maybe a codebook with keys, that gives you access to a room with a big lever, that doesn't really do much other than kick in the emergency last chance safety systems a little early is the right way to go.

Thumbtack is also a lead gen business, and they actually are quite hot (just raised at a $1B valuation).
Battery (redox) storage is sufficiently low-density that you're starting to talk about significant land area simply dedicated to energy storage (same applies to most other options -- again, thermal salt energy storage is among the denser options availabe).

Keep in mind that that's not only large areas, probably poorly co-locatable with other uses (liquid / molten salt batteries at 600F and residential areas don't mix well given accident risk -- the substrates are relatively safe, but anything in volume at 600F is a hazard), but they're hugely technical large land areas. That's already a challenge for virtually all solar energy options. Factor in likley 10-20 year lifecycle, and you're talking about large land areas with 5-10% annual replacement requirements -- a lot of O&M expense and reinvestment.
The NFL has announcer coverage for both markets - you notice this on NFL rewind sometimes. When you add in radio coverage, each game typically has 4-6 commentary tracks.
Web Components are defined in script, they add no more download costs than any other script or styles.

Shadow DOM's style scoping is very intentional, and brings sanity to styling. Cross-scope styling is possible via CSS custom properties in a much more principled way than letting styles leak all over the entire document.
> Finding somebody to clean your house is really easy.

Finding a warm body to drag a tepid rag around your countertop is easy, sure, but finding someone who's 1) consistent 2) always on-time and 3) not $100/hr is next to impossible.

Perhaps in a large metro it's easier, but I've had basically no luck in suburban silicon valley.
If a nuclear reactor has a cooling failure, the fuel will eventually heat up and then melt down. To prevent this you have to keep water circulating around the reactor core.

This is the one simple problem.

There are now reactor designs that are passively fail-safe. So that even if all the pumps and everything stop, it will still not result in an explosion or otherwise serious release of radioactive material.

I don't know how much those sorts of designs were developed at the time Fukushima was commissioned though.
> Reactors should not be for-profit.

Maybe. The motivations are different for a government project, but I'm not convinced that they're better.
Only under an overly broad definition of "preventable". In the context of this article, "preventable" means that the failure mode was foreseen and not accounted for in the design. If the failure mode had not been foreseen then the accident would not be preventable, because how can you protect against something you can't even imagine?

There are many start ups, which serve 3 letter agencies. This guy will sell his product to those agencies, make big bucks.
No, but there is an assumption that the representative agent is actually representative of the "average" of the agents participating in the market. So when we apply a model with this assumption to real world data, we are making an assumption that the "representative agent" described in the model is truly representative of the market participants. This causes a range of potential error in the outcomes predicted by the model (based on how representative the "representative agent" might actually be) on top of any error introduced by the model itself. In many circumstances, this amount of error is acceptable, and thus the model is useful even if the assumptions are incorrect.

If you want to reduce the error further, come up with a series of categories (or multiple representative agents) to describe the behavior of the buyers participating in your market. There's always going to be some margin of error on predictions though, because the future isn't predetermined and events can happen randomly.
The stream quality was beyond my expectations, it was crisp and clear. This is a service I would happily pay for since DirectTV's Sunday Ticket streams are often lag/time out for me on other devices.
And since a shadow DOM's styles don't have to even look at the rest of the page's styles, they can be computed much more quickly.

I'm sure this is fine, but oh man, it looks sketchy.
I think that's probably the right move. Often the people using a product don't have any authority to make a purchase.

In those cases management won't spend a dime until the employees can show the product is critical.
Not so much, while you are right that the requirements of the games has more than been met in most competitive games. Go try and stream that game in HD using twitch - and now you will see why its saving the PC gaming market. To stream a mid-level detailed game in HD takes a ton of performance, more than you'd think.

This is really cool and really well done. You should probably put the link to the GitHub page on it and add a LICENSE file to specify if it's open source though!

It would also be really nice to have a feature to hide the points and control points to see what you've made more clearly.

Very good. Hi-vis vest is astonishingly effective too. See recent Hatton Garden (London) diamond heist.
> What you basically accomplished here is to transfer the problem of complexity from one domain (CSS) to another (HTML) not solving it.

Nop. I'm eventually polluting the mark-up with extra and uglier classes, but that's it. A small price to pay for less coupling - just use a class to bind styles to an element. No need to consider "what if this is a child element of X or a sibling of Y?".

> In the end, if the penalty of using a shallow nesting architecture is to increase the specificity score by 1-2 points,

It's not. It's style leaking, dependence between different system parts (content structure and styles), performance, less reuse...
Sorry, what? The browser has sorely needed extension and componentization capabilities for many years. Why should the W3C be the gate-keepers of what's allowed in HTML? That only leads to the invention of heavy-weight and balkanized UI frameworks. We can do much better than that.

You miss some of the benefit, to be sure, but you also reduce the risks. $100 probably doesn't make much sense as the long term goal for a UBI, but it might well be a good place to transition through.

One benefit of that kind of ramp up is that it naturally phases out existing programs, making them easier to kill when their time comes (and much clearer when their time has come).

It also means (to the risk point above) that if we discover some ruinous dynamic caused by the UBI, we can more easily scrap it and fall back on existing systems.
Don't be a dick indeed, work more, so you can earn more and pay more taxes for the immigrants (if they were refugees they would stay whereever help was offered instead of storming to Germany), because those loans won't pay by itself and USA, IMF and the banks surely won't write that off.

Right now my country is stormed by them and can barely keep up. Schengen is a joke, same as the EU.

This will probably be down voted since Hacker News turned into a "safe space" (which is ironic considering all the whiplash about free speech on the internet around here), so let me just quote a character called Reality on the popular show "South Park": "You're sad that people are mean ?

Nitrosamines are a known carcinogen, I just don't know how much of them are needed to be a significant risk. Nitrite/Nitrate is used in a lot of cured and processed meats, but its amount is limited by law in the US. When they combine with amines (also commonly in meat), the result (nitrosamines) is bad.

This is why nitrate/nitrite in vegetables and other sources don't seem to carry the same concern.

I'm not sure if this is one of the key factors in their data, but I know that it is at least one concern. Charring is another concern.

I don't know that either of those are significant enough to make the designation that the WHO has, though. The articles from news media, as expected, don't go into enough detail for me to make an educated guess, without signing up for the Lancet just to read the original study, which I will probably do because I'm interested in the actual data (at least the article is free but I hate forced-signups to access content)
Are they using it for Inbox, too? The memory use on that page. Yikes. To think I used to browse the web on 64MB of RAM without ever feeling memory-constrained. Sometimes with my e-mail client also open!
I agree with everyone saying that you cannot accuse them of abuse. Read your own fine print, see if you need to close any loopholes. If so, update the language, send out notifications of the policy change. If not, contact the company as others have suggested and say "Hey, maybe you don't realize it, you already used your free trial...etc."

I have seen research and repeatedly seen anecdotal evidence that larger companies do not hesitate to prey upon smaller ones. Smaller companies often either do not want to stand firm because they view the large company as a potential jackpot client and they don't want to offend them and drive them off or they don't have the expertise, legal team or other necessary power to successfully stand up to the bigger company and they get outmaneuvered and crapped on.

Please do not be a doormat. A big company that does not pay is not a customer. They are a parasite and there is no relationship to preserve. So while you don't want to be ugly about it and make enemies unnecessarily, you need to be proactive about finding an effective, diplomatic, enforceable solution. If you don't, big companies will not hesitate to bleed you and can readily become a threat to your very survival. So take this seriously as a problem that must be solved as quickly as possible.

> One legitimate reason why I would expect suit-wearers to be challenged is the fear of formal wear being required in the office.

Business suits are business wear, not formal wear, which is a whole different category of clothing. Formal wear being required in the office would be a very odd thing, indeed.
They were also at the wrong DEFCON level for that kind of order, so protocol acted a partial failsafe too.
I'm curious what the actual protocol was for defining the codes. Could it have been an accidental collision? depending on the codes, what is the probability all three matched?

You have to wonder if there was some sort of covert op in play, and cooler minds prevailed (Capt bassets' rigorous adherence to protocol maybe was not planned for by the attacker. Refusal to launch at defcon2, which could have been overlooked by a less attentive sr official).
But consider survivorship bias.
Exception: vest and tie with a stylish hat. Otherwise, yes, a suit is usually mandatory. I didn't expand on it for the sake of making my point. I'm glad some people on HN have fashion sense.
Huge problem with their service is time syncing between various 'tracks'. Radio streams spoil Gameday and vice-versa.

I also find $25/mo to be just a little too high to indulge in video streaming.
I think that's fine, but if the urgency is manufactured, I'd argue that it should be an additional feature to provide that urgency, rather than the default.

I'm the other side of the coin. I may start off on schedule, but once life intervenes and I fall behind, and I've gotten a couple zeros, I'm like why bother catching up? As a result, I've only successfully finished one out of the 6 or 7 Coursera courses I've started.
More cable-cutter friendly than Major League Baseball? On MLB.tv you can pick the home/away feed for almost any game at almost any time, plus view replays and highlights of any game going back to basically the first televised baseball game. And you can watch it on basically any device.

The only downside is the blackouts for home markets.
This all misses the point of my first post.

You could have a much safer design available, but if the 'less safe' design is more cost effective, and meets all specifications, it would still be the preferred design. This means that the any problem is with the specifications/requirements. The next question is whether the standard of safety which would require choosing the 'failsafe' (or at least failsafer) design would cause statistical murder.
Nice insight. To save a few clicks to those remembering this classic (or reading for the first time!):

For me, it's not about FOSS per se, more about the development environment that comes with it; a parent comment even mentioned a hackintosh. It's just that a Windows environment is so radically different from everything else out there that it makes it pretty impossible to realistically conduct work when all the tools are made for OSX and GNU/Linux.

I'm only addressing Microsoft with my comment because that's the topic of conversation here. Also, because they're specifically positioning themselves to convert Mac users, and IMO a notable portion of these users are developers who need the POSIX-like ecosystem.
They do complement my skillset.

We did this list mentality to start, but after awhile had crossed off the ideas in each industry we both were excited about.
Doesn't that depend on pressure as well?
First of all, it is initiation of violence since the government has to threaten the bank in order to seize assets which the company had already contracted with the bank to keep safe and the company has not given the bank any power of attorney to transfer the property or otherwise relinquish it.

That is initiation of violence number one.

Second of all, it is theft since the government is appropriating goods it does not own without permission from the owner which in this case is the company that broke environmental regulations.

That is initiation of violence number two.

Now I must ask you, Mike Ash, after all this conversation and your refutations visibly fizzling out (first your silly "I refuse to look up 'violence' in the dictionary' and presently this 'I can't see the violence in threatening banks and stealing from them' grasping-at-straws move, and after having seen my arguments for what I am defending and after your not being able to offer substantive counter-arguments), are you ready to entertain the thought that we should give fully unregulated (-by the government or any other monopoly on violence) industries and private property law a try?

I am ready and willing to help you learn more as I hope to have demonstrated throughout this discussion where I wasn't disrespectful to you and treated your inquiries fairly. I must say though, that judging from your last replies, it might be that you do not possess the intellectual honesty I thought you did when we first started this discussion, because your last two responses have been intellectually dishonest (not looking up in the dictionary, and not being willing to see the violence in state coercion).

WHO is a huge and difficult body to get agreements from. After years and 800 studies, they decided today to label processed meats as carcinogens.

Btw, 15% of lifelong smokers get lung cancer whereas 15-19% of meat-eaters get some sort of cancer (mainly, colorectal, prostate and breast).

I can appreciate that this is a surprise, but the data has been there for more than a decade.

"indifference and apathy is the result when your salary and living conditions have absolutely no connection to the effort that you have to put into it all."

I generally agree, but that doesn't resemble the situation with (realistic) basic income.
The point that it's organisational and management issues which so frequently seem to be behind major disasters -- four of the larger nuclear accidents (Fukushima, the earlier Japanese criticality incident at Tokaimura, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island), as well as numerous other large-scale industrial accidents, of which energy systems play a large role: the BP Gulf Oil spill, Exxon Valdez, Banqiao Dam (China, 1975), recent South Carolina flooding and dam bursts, the Union Carbide Bhopal, India, disaster.

You cannot engineer out human nature. This isn't a root cause for which there are technical solutions.

I hugely recommend Charles Perrow's Normal Accidents and The Next Catastrophe. As well as other writings.

Note that Rickover also wished we'd never gone to the nuclear option. He defended his choice for lack of options, but would have preferred to see all plants mothballed.
