One factor that this article doesn't mention is that many streetcar companies were locked into contracts that prevented them from raising fares above 5¢. National City Lines didn't come in until well after problems had already started. (Pulling that from here: http://www.vox.com/2015/5/7/8562007/streetcar-history-demise )
It's the nearest thing to immortality that a human will achieve. It's the moral of one of the oldest written stories (Gilgamesh). Immortality (true immortality) is impossible to achieve. Better to achieve great things and be remembered for them, immortal in the minds of the many generations that follow.

If you look a little deeper, the foundation of the concept of "Wellness Programs" is to raise all rates paid by employees across the board, then provide discounts for behaviors that are approved (basically sharing PMI data with a 3rd party). In the US this is because - to my understanding - laws prevent insurance companies and companies from 'discriminating' in their pricing. As in, they can't penalize most people for simply being unhealthy (vs. legal to penalize for tobacco use) so the way to soften the bottom line effect is to raise everything and give discounts.

In my experience there is simply surface-level masking by calling it a "Wellness Program" instead of a data collection healthcare discount program, because a lot of lifestyle changes needed to promote genuine health aren't really incorporated. As in, healthier diet of fresh foods, better rest at night, free access to exercise facilities.

On top of nordlord comment, Ill add Go and Free Pascal are both decendents of Wirth style of languages. So, the benefits like fast compilation, easy analysis, safer by default, and decent output are shared. Pascal, on other hand, can go down to the metal for writing OS's and embedded apps.
Humans would also improve with removed signage. There's quite a bit of research now that accident rates go down the more you remove street furniture and lines. Same with traffic lights - see the caution people use when the lights are out of order.

I'd hope that a self-driving car has the meta data on board rather than just relying on seeing the sign. I'd also hope that they're designed to treat all junctions with caution, not just those with missing signage.
Thanks. We'll merge that thread with this one.

This is the one aspect in which Amazon absolutely sucks.

Do you want Prime? No thanks.

FUCK YOU DO YOU WANT PRIME‽‽‽‽ FUCK OFF!

Humongous button saying "yes", not even a button, just a discrete link that lets me sheepishly say "not right now".

NO! I do not want prime! EVER! It's hugely expensive, I have patience with my shipping, and I'm completely disinterested in your streaming service.

… and then they change the layout. Now the options are "yes", "yes", and "maybe later".

Yes. After being an amazon customer for maybe 15 years I finally accidentally clicked one of the "yes" buttons. The new one. I just clicked "whatever is not the yes button", but they added a second one.

To their credit, it was pretty easy to say "don't renew after free trial ends".

The point of that often quoted ethical dilemma is that a human driver can't choose at all. With driverless cars at one point someone has to make a deliberate decision on how to act in these situations. Not in a split-second but rather in a long process. This results in different ethical considerations.

Sure, a human driver doesn't take any of the relevant factors into account. But a driverless car does and that's the difference.
Good to know. This is a phenomenal feature and I'd like to see more banks offer it.
This feels dangerous. While I'm not sure, I don't think changes to a truecrypted filesystem are guaranteed to be atomic. I'm pretty sure there's no guarantee that the filesystem is consistent every time Dropbox starts syncing. You probably end up with a partially correct file system on the ro-side, which might end in kernel panics if you're unlucky. Also it's not two-way as the git-remote-dropbox solution offers.
That is honestly quite helpful. I can't seem to find an actual link from the main kparc to that page. Any other hidden gem pages on that site?

No. If I advance the hypothesis that reciting the Kama Sutra backwards will make you grow a third arm, then a single subject who recites the Kama Sutra backwards and shortly thereafter grows a third arm would be a statistically significant result, because the odds of someone growing a third arm by chance are quite small.

This kind of manipulation of access to public records needs to stop if we are to continue to have a free society.

I think my point is better made as such:

urandom only implements computational security, whereas random makes an attempt at information theoretic security (albeit an extremely poor one). Computational security is so practically useful that the difference between the two seems moot, but there still is a valid distinction.

I'd wager a driverless car can afford to go a little faster, given its reaction speed is likelier much, much faster than anything a human can put out.

In fact, a driverless car may be capable of estimating its own stopping distance given road conditions and other measurements, account for some margin of error, and then use that to calculate how fast it can go down a road, while still adhering to the posted speed limits.
I at least check it everyday and I am confident a few hundreds do so too.
You think but for vulnerability disclosure, this playing field would be even?
Ultimately it may become a requirement. You have to have a membership for many stores now (Sam's Club, Costco and so on). Amazon is very similar to these; I'm betting they will go Prime-only in a year or two.

Like all such processes, this one is defined by people, and implemented mostly in terms of a set of actions available to those employees of the corporation who handle cancellation requests. Telling such a person that you're deaf, and thus unable to communicate by voice telephone, is no less a lie because that person happens to be acting on behalf of his employer. If your morality forbids lying, then this lie violates it no less than any other.

There seems to me a somewhat troubling trend of reaction to the widely derided "corporate personhood" principle in law, by deliberately depersonalizing such "persons" to an extent which appears to me to increasingly include not only the "corporate person" per se, but the actual people persons who constitute that corporation, and who implement and act upon its policies - to regard the modern corporation as a faceless alien behemoth, after all, is of necessity to overlook the fact that it is an organization of people, in theory (if to a somewhat greater extent than in practice) around a common goal.

Your comment here is squarely in this line. "There's no person there", after all, is blatantly erroneous: of course there is a person there, otherwise there'd be no one to whom to worry about lying. It's been a while since I last reread The Authoritarians, but I seem to remember this kind of depersonalization being a significant theme in its analysis of how your category of authoritarian followers become willing to countenance human rights abuses. In that light, it surprises me to see you express a perspective which includes precisely that kind of elision, and I'm curious whether you see a substantive difference where I do not.

Ask HN: Do any startups/companies hire devs part-time?
Do any startups hire developers for 60% of their normal salary that instead only works 3 days a week, or 40% for 2 days a week?
Orwellian.
Yes! This. Some commenters have never heard of driving defensively it seems. Do they really just barrel through uncontrolled intersections if they don't see a stop sign? For that matter, do they really just unthinkingly barrel through greens, always? If so, it probably means you live outside of the city, where you can grow accustomed to trusting that nothing unexpected will happen.

In the absence of any signage, there is always an implicit "Yield." -- ie, no requirement to stop, but you should look for conflicting traffic, and preemptively slow down enough so you could stop if there turns out to be conflicting traffic.

Heck, in some places even a green light is worth defensively treating as a Yield. In Manhattan, when driving, I barrel through green lights when crossing streets while going up avenues (in center lanes), but treat it more like a Yield, slowing to a quickly-stoppable speed, when going crosstown on streets across an avenue intersection. So what if you have a green light? In practice all three road user types, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists run reds all the time. You're supposed to drive defensively, and a good driverless car should too.

Anyway, I think driverless cars have an implicit advantage here in that their reaction times will be substantially lower. Hopefully they can use statistical evidence to figure out rules like the above ("Treat greens on 3+ lane roads as "No Stopping" sign, but on smaller roads, treat them as yields")
It's funny (in a sad way) that posts like this show up and make it to the top every once in awhile, in between which we always forget that every company does this. It's super-shady and they all do it.

It might be not very true for papers that almost nobody is going to cite ever again, but the idea in general is to have "some kind of impact" that outlives you.

Having kids fulfills the same, but does not "scale" very well (for lack of a better word), since you can only have so many, parenting is hard and you might screw it up irreversibly. Creating something novel and useful (even if only marginally so) has the potential to touch countless lives, even after yours is over.

It could be art, or software, or an algorithm, or a formula...

How to manage developers without pissing them off
HOAs are routinely held up as the exact opposite of freedom.
Capitalism, at it's core, is the freedom to offer people a deal and at the same time the freedom to reject deals. If you create something of value, you are free to ask something of value in return. Anybody is free to pay your price, to try to negotiate or to say no. Capitalism is a system where created value is distributed with the least amount of compromise to freedom.

Anything else I feel is sick capitalism, Banks repackaging unsustainable mortgages, hiding their inherent risks is not capitalism, it is lying, obfuscating and misleading. It is crime.

Capitalism is someone creating value and others willingly giving up their time and money (their create value) to get that value. Capitalism a beautiful system but it is ill and wrongly labeled in the current world.
He is talking about how it actually functions, not the theory of capitalism. It does work that way.

Also, usually when people criticize capitalism, they're referring to "the current modern day manic deregulated post-neoliberal form of capitalism" as shorthand. People are probably okay with capitalism as practiced in the postwar era, when there were stronger social safety nets in the West.

It's always great to see storage hardware being opened up, thanks Backblaze.

I have a question after reading the Vault overview here:

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/vault-cloud-storage-architect...

I'm curious what the bandwidth demand is when an entire host fails and you have to drop a new replacement host in, since you would have 60 Tomes in the Vault that need to be rebuilt at once. You have at least two other parity copies when a host dies (assuming no other drives in the affected host's Tomes are dead on other hosts in the Vault set), so I'm guessing you can afford to wait the handful of days it would take to rebuild the host. I'm still curious to know what rebuild speed you plan for, since I'm guessing you'd be looking at 40Gbps NICs eventually. I was surprised to see only 2x10Gbps.

For your specific example, probably because the implementation is different.

The most notable difference is that arrow functions do not set the "arguments" variable, but there are other subtleties.

I'm not sure how it is done in V8 and co, but if the code is highly optimized, you might have to rewrite big chunks of it, even for small differences, because your optimizations do not go along with a slightly different implementation, or to avoid painful regressions.

I am not against having a hacker ethos and personally am happy to research and learn on my own, but I fail to see the logic in charging money to tell people to Google.

I'm about halfway through the JHU Data Science program and I agree that there's a fair amount of "extra" work you have to do. But still, coming into it as somebody who had never used R at all before, I've learned a ton and have definitely found it to be worth the money I've spent (I plan to actually do the entire track and get the certificate and everything).

Now that said, I probably woulnd't pay much more than what they're charging now (I think most of these classes have been $49.00 / class so far), but at that rate, I definitely feel that it's been worthwhile. And even if it isn't a formal degree, it still gives me the ability to legitimately mention JHU on my resume. So if somebody is just quick skimming my resume to make a decision on which pile to sort it into, that probably gives mine a small nudge in favor of the "look deeper" pile.
