The book "Age of Wonder" by Richard Holmes [1] includes a sympathetic overview of Caroline. I do not recall Holmes ever describing her as "spinster" as Hughes does in the sixth word of her outline above. Hughes seems condescending in his first and last sentences, which I don't appreciate.

The point is with a demand-supply network where you need both sides to participate in order to have a working system, you have to spend a lot of money to build that initial network in the face of competitors. In the case where you can add more supply without throwing incentives at drivers, anybody can start a local competitor fairly cheaply, and all those billions Uber and Lyft have spent building their networks will no longer matter.

Netflix is contractually required to discriminate against customers based on where they are by the companies who they licence content from, for many reasons, a common one being the content already having been exclusively licensed for distribution in country X to some other company.

That's not a true story [1], although you're not the first person I've heard it from. The sex industry was thriving well before the US government, or any other government around today, however. And it would be very hard to argue that the US government has ever been formally "involved" with the sex industry, except as a regulatory presence.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment :

The study concluded "it is clear that we cannot distinguish the sane from the insane in psychiatric hospitals" and also illustrated the dangers of dehumanization and labeling in psychiatric institutions. It suggested that the use of community mental health facilities which concentrated on specific problems and behaviors rather than psychiatric labels might be a solution and recommended education to make psychiatric workers more aware of the social psychology of their facilities.

It was last summer. In-app, there appeared no obvious way to contact them to get status on the payment problem. Changing cards did not work either, which lead me to the conclusion that the payment processing was at fault especially since the same card was working fine for Lyft.

Shrink Go binaries 7x with this one weird trick
Welcome to electronics design!

I've never had electric shocks before, but frying components sure. Don't work with mains voltage directly if it worries you. You can power most hobby projects from a USB port or a wall wart. Designing power supplies is one area where you might want to read up on things like trace clearances, but again, look at YouTube for PSU teardowns (bigclivedotcom has plenty).

As always it's mostly human error. I have never (literally) fried a component from overheating, it still amazes me how hardy modern ICs are. I've also never paid too much attention to ESD protection, though if my job depended on it then I would. What has happened is shorts, often. Even the GPU guy routed his board with GND and VCC back to front, it happens to the best of us. Most chips are at least partially tolerant to silly things like overvoltage, so even if you accidentally short some GPIOs on a micro, the protection circuitry might save you. Simple advice is to put a low-current polyfuse on every prototype you make. It's saved me so many times when I've shorted power supplies by accident.

The more complicated your circuit, the more likely it will be that you mess up. Don't try and solder a 150-pin BGA on your first board. Build some breakout boards for sensors, build your own microcontroller dev board (ARM if you want a challenge) or pick a project from the internet.

Odds of messing up you first board in some subtle way? Unless it's a very simple board, > 80%? Components are cheap though, roll with it! Plus you probably won't brick all the components if something goes wrong, the magic smoke will usually only come out of one.

When I make mistakes, usually they're footprint (e.g. wrong pinout) or construction errors (shorts between pads, etc). If the schematic is incorrect then that's another issue, but most often it's things like not reading a datasheet properly and forgetting to connect a pin, tying an positive-enable pin to GND rather than VCC, etc. In principle layout engineers assume that the circuit diagram is gospel, so the blame doesn't always lie with them. Of course if you're the designer and the layout engineer...

I'm now at a stage where I can get a board back from the fab and it'll usually work :)

It's very small minded of the author implying these role model philosophies originate and are used in 4chan only.

Reddit has /r/theredpill, there's numerous mens activists, and dating groups that all use the model of male gender roles and distinctions that the author has described here.

To me this article is just another subtly disguised insincere 4chan hit piece.
I knew by the opening paragraph when the article implied that 4chan aids and abets school shooters.

Also, the joke is kind of on people who actually take 4chan seriously.
I can't seem to find much information with regards to his time studying engineering at Montreal. One article (albeit, the Toronto Sun so take it with a grain of salt) claims he dropped out. And I can't find anything that mentions what type of engineering he studied. It does seem a bit strange to go from studying English Literature, to becoming a teacher, to suddenly studying engineering before switching to environmental geography.
Well sure, that's an example of a bad investment. Renting is choosing to not invest. Zero risk, zero reward.

I don't have a story about enterprise sales, but if you'll allow me I will just slip in the story of the first copy of software that I sold. I hope no one minds.

I wrote a silly computer game about cats (http://store.steampowered.com/app/386900), essentially making a puzzle game out of finite-state automata questions you get during the computation course of a Computer Science degree. Of course, the abstraction on the mechanics involve cats, because it's a good way to trick people into doing computer science.

Now, three weeks before I released the product, I stuck up a webpage where people could purchase the game for a higher price, but the twist was that they could send me a picture of their cat, and I'd put the cat in the game, in a level somewhere. I didn't really know if anyone would be interested, I didn't do any marketing, but since it didn't take long to hook Stripe up and the idea amused me, I went for it. The next day I received my first customer, someone from Peru, who in broken English described their cat 'Missy', and attached a dozen or so photos of her. So, I draw an in-game representation of the Peruvian cat, place her in the game, and add a feature where when the user mouses-over Missy, an overlay pops up with a photo inside. I still have no idea how this customer found me, but I do know who their cat is, what food it likes, what toys are its favourite. Over the course of the three weeks, a little more than a dozen people preordered and sent me (usually loads) of pictures of their cat(s), which was quite a personal subject for some. More than one had recently lost their pet, and wished me to memorialise the cat inside the game, either for them, or their wife/husband, as a gift or as a surprise when they played it through. I did not expect to be in some way apart of people's grieving. Some of them wrote me much later to express their thanks. What stuck with me most though was the feeling of making a personal connection with someone on the otherside of the globe, Peru, Singapore, Algeria, etc, and effectively being introduced to a member of their family. It was a surprisingly meaningful experience.

So no, not at all about big enterprise sales, instead a $10 game involving cats, but, there you go.
I fail to see how this comes with the convenience of directory-specific symbolic links, dotfile-specific backups, individual removal & replacement of dotfiles, etc etc.

I've been using stow for years to manage my dotfiles and it's never been more involved than

$ stow dotfiles/urxvt

or what have you. In fact I would say that managing a git repository is more of a waste of time and far more over-engineered for a task easily solved by a tiny binary.

Not sure what you're referring to by an 'install script', have you ever used stow?

In any case, the real answer is that you should be using whatever works best for your use case, and for me that's stow.
AWS, hands down. They're years ahead, and the support is just as lousy.

Something that I've found to be very important in determining whether a submission is successful (here on HN and on reddit) is the first comment. If something has a handful of upvotes, people will often check the comments to see if the link is worth their time or not. If the first comment is "Wow, this is amazing! Why is this not on the front page?" you have a much better chance of making it than if the first comment is "This is blogspam. Move along." Once a post gets critical mass, and there is a conversation going on, people assume that the post is worth reading, and invest more time, which creates more upvotes. Of course, this isn't the best filtering mechanism since it is effectively the wisdom of the crowds.
Southeastern CT is cheap, and well located, in my opinion.

The "slow down, you're submitting too fast" thing is arbitrary and per-account. My account is specifically penalized, for example, and I have a far lower comment limit than pretty much everyone else. This was added without notification to me or appeal opportunity despite my e-mail being in my profile, and also means my comments are "demoted" below often punishingly-downvoted comments. So you'll see comments, then barely legible gray comments, then mine. I also cannot respond to deep threads because I burn my budget getting there, and then have to wait a couple days to continue a discussion. And that's just how my account is, now, even after conversing with them about it; Dan could not recall the specifics of why I was penalized but was resistant to removing it based upon a determination of my quality of character. From comments. On a forum.

My best guess is that there's a box on an account with an automatic and manual score adjustment, mine contains -100 or something, downvotes (real or synthetic) affect that timer that you see, but only 'real' downvotes trigger the somehow-still-exists-in-2016 'turn a comment gray' logic.

I'm not saying any of this to gripe, just that I doubt I'm the only one, I doubt that threshold is fully manual, and I doubt that the one for submitting links and the one for commenting are wildly divergent. A few days seems long, which is why I mention it. So perhaps you submitted something a million years ago that was quietly looked down upon and your account carries consequences; it wouldn't be the first time, since it was apparently one comment a million years ago that earned me my own status. And it matters so little nobody remembers.

Might be worth asking since they were more than willing to tell me once I asked, but it turned into a surreal "can we trust you to be a good boy if we remove it?" back-and-forth and I lost interest in attempting to satisfy Internet forum moderators with tales of personal development and growth. Good luck, if you do.
Why is citation needed? This is from raw, personal experience that's shared amongst the mentally ill who I've talked to and who I've read from online and other medium. If you want citation, just go to any forum dedicated to mental health.

And please don't declare this as selection bias. This doesn't need to be academic. I'm just offering my experiences that are simply shared with many others. Requesting citation for pervasive issues like this is just an easy way to not address or discuss a complex and complicated issue.

If you have to pick one, GCE hands down. AWS has more features but is more expensive and more operationally complex. GCE may have less features, but the ones it has are better thought out and the user experience is in a league of it's own. Also keep in mind that if for some reason you want to take advantage of something like Amazon's video transcoding service, nothing says you have to build 100% of your app on a single provider's services.
I'm using stow to manage my dotfiles since about a year, and it works pretty well. I tried things like homesick (or homeshick), but they were well overengineered and too complex for me.

It also works great when you create git submodules for your external dependencies and manage installing them via stow.
Nice. I should have known.

I think P2W has ruined IAP for most people. I highly like IAP when it's stuff like paying for chapters of a game that you then own permanently and pay for when you want. Admittedly that's a less exciting business model, but I'm a lot happier paying $5 for a chapter of a game 4 times with the possiblity of new content in the future than $15.00 up front without having played the game.

What sucks is the IAP are business models where you pay to win, have a limited ability to play the game on any day, and the advantage from paid goes away if you don't play on any day. Those models basically create crappy but addictive games that are essentially legalized lottery systems for minors without the cash winnings.
I think it's a complex question.

AWS is far ahead in terms of maturity of the service, breadth of services, ecosystem support.

On the other hand, Google Compute Platform is "up and coming", and in general it is trying to attract customers by offering lower-than-AWS prices on most comparable services.

AWS is also a safer bet. At the same time, Google is big enough that betting on it is not as risky as betting on another "startuppy" provider.

I only dabbled in it a little for fun, but in my beginner's opinion:

Pros: The compiler eliminates a lot of potential bugs, so once my code compiles, I've saved hours that would have been spent debugging if I were using, say, C++.

However,

Cons: It takes more hours to figure out why my code is not compiling!

Basically, instead of debugging my code, now I have to "debug" GHC, trying to figure out what it is thinking and why it's rejecting my code.

Put another way, C++ allows me to try "quick and dirty" solutions first, and then later iterate and improve. Haskell requires me to be perfect at first try.

Can you elaborate on the details or circumstances these parts outlined? Particularly in regard to provisions or protocols to be followed in the event you become unable to render product service (due to disaster against the product or its infrastructure, personal circumstances, or otherwise).

I'm in a similar position that you've described. I'm mostly a one-man shop with a SAAS product that has a Fortune 100 customer. As it becomes increasingly integrated within their company they've voiced concern over what happens if I become unable to render service. We likely have contract amendments coming for code escrow, but I've no experience in this particular area, so thought I'd ask what you learned from these parts of your contract.

If it matters, the product is tightly customized to the customer's work flow, and provides a solution they've been unable to readily find elsewhere. So in the event that service can no longer be rendered, having them subscribe to another product wouldn't be immediately viable.

In France, in science we had to answer with the same number of digit after the decimal point as given in the exercise. It didn't feel right to me when that was crunched through logs and sine, but I got nowhere when I brought it up to the teacher. And even now the whole premise is flawed to me, because it's about significant digits, not just the number of figures after the decimal point, if you compute a times ten you have to remove one digit after the decimal point.

I did this for a while. I had to switch to stow when I got a new job that had data security requirements - I had to keep the "work" bits of my dotfiles separate from the non-work parts, and so couldn't keep everything in the same git repository. Ended up writing a set of rcs that just imported appropriate .d directories, keeping two git repos, and stowing both of them.
