I think this type of thing will end up being useful for special cases, but in general we'll still want to run our own servers. Their use case of creating a public API is a great one: it's a simple interface and having Lambda handle the auto-scaling is pretty awesome.

> Usually additives are added to premium which wouldn't be in mid-grade

That's the perception (and they are happy for you to think that), but I don't believe it's actually true.

And in any case, if it is true, a mix would simply have a lower level of additives for midgrade and that seems right to me.

> although there are older gas stations and cheaper stations which mix high and low on-site at the pump for medium.

I'm almost 100% certain that almost all gas stations have just two storage tanks and the pump mixes them.

Convenient in a sense you cherry pick and overfit data to prove Finland is more diverse than America.
I should clarify I was not looking for fiat money at any point, I just wanted to check the Coinbase price at that moment. I don't think I have used the account since I last referred a friend a couple of months ago.

Now, even if I wanted to use their wallet or vault, I can't. That's not a bad thing in my mind though.
I spoke with a friend of mine at Niantic. They are in communication with the oauth group at Google, and are fixing the issue.
That relies on noiseless, unbiased data, right? What if an expert gets ruled out by accident?
I definitely wouldn't build a business on this for the reasons you mention, but there are still very good use cases. E.g. let's say you have a website where you need to strip metadata from images. That's only two or three lines of code with Pillow, but it might be better opsec to do it elsewhere so that if your app somehow gets pwned you don't have the metadata flowing through your system. But if doing that involved setting up an entirely new webserver then that probably wouldn't make sense, especially since the new server would probably be subject to the same vulnerabilities as the original.
Why bother tearing it down? They just fall apart naturally after a few months (or weeks) or use.
Non Open Source emulators are dead in the water in terms of archiving. 10 years later if the original author is not around anymore, you won't be able to rely on it nor improve on it. I wish all emulator writers understood that.

> It's possible but I don't think it will be economical or practical for a long time.

So is there an actual technical path to make things cheaper in the very long run ?
I don't know why it is outrageous to say the solution to high rent is to build more.

We shouldn't worry about "squeezing" people out. Ours is a HUGE nation. We have A LOT of natural resources and there is no reason why we can't let people build more (outside of protected areas, of course).

People who are "priced out" should move to places where rent costs less. I keep hearing about property owners having enough political clout to block further development, depressing supply. They placate existing residents with tiny portions of rent-controlled apartments.

I fail to see how "gentrification" is a problem at all in the bigger scheme of things.

I don't think people renting out more places is a problem. If landlords hold supply out of the market to prop up prices, we can discourage such actions with a more dynamic property tax that places a realistic tax burden on under occupied or unoccupied property.

All that being said, we definitely need to figure out some way to peoperly educate people about personal finance.
Unfortunately this sounds like another startup that won't exist 2 years from now. They are solving a problem that isn't really a problem. And super long term when everyone has an electric car this won't even be an issue. The potential client base seems really small. They would have to pivot like crazy.
Yes. Hire a PR company, pump out your metrics, and optimize for short term revenue / profit growth.

> In cases where directors have acknowledged sacrificing shareholder interests for other groups

This part is key. When the directors actually admit that they are harming shareholder interests, they are opening themselves to a lawsuit. When they make a plausible claim that their actions are in the shareholders' interest, even if some of the shareholders disagree, they are fine. Courts do not second-guess business judgement.

To overrule the directors in court, shareholders have to show that the directors are acting in bad faith, not just that the actions will seemingly harm the company.
You are not. When I drive down to West Virginia from NY, getting fresh air on foot is exciting because I feel safe walking around gas station more than driving on the road. But that's outside of city. City gas station is competitive enough I feel stressed about going into one.
It would also be handy to have some visual guides for the indentation levels of nested comments as on Reddit. I've hacked my own indentation marks using a CSS injection for now, but this is clearly still not optimal:

@-moz-document url-prefix(https://news.ycombinator.com/) {
td { vertical-align: top }
td > img { background: repeating-linear-gradient(to right, rgba(0,0,0,0), rgba(0,0,0,0) 38px, rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 38px, rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 40px); margin-top: 4px; height: 12px!important; }
div.votearrow { padding-bottom: 3px; background: url('http://localhost/uparrow.png') !important; background-size: 12px 20px !important; width: 12px!important;}
}

I've also increased the size of the voting arrow because it's just uncomfortably small. By Fitt's law [0], smaller buttons require more time and effort to click!

I think this could be one of the main challenges Elm face in terms of gaining support. I've been playing around with Elm the past week (creating a fun little web app to learn a new language) and the documentation would likely keep some developers from pursuing the language much further. What helped me was familiarity with functional programming via Clojure, and component based web apps with Om and React.

I think the docs could use a chapter on functional programming and how that works in the land of ML languages, and perhaps a few walk through examples of some simple, but not overly simplistic, apps.

So far though I think the language is pretty interesting, but I've yet to do anything really fancy with it.
It's reasonable to ask for a TLDR for anything. They are better known as abstracts.
I have a skimpy monthly data plan, and appreciate the fact that your changes does nothing to increase data intentionally or accidentally (like Reddit).

> Are those explicit INNER JOIN clauses necessary?

Explicit INNER JOIN is clearer than comma joins, which combine join conditions with filter conditions.

> By now, most SQL query optimizers can figure out on their own how to join tables.

Clarity, rather than efficiency, is the reason to prefer explicit INNER JOINS over comma joins.

Though in this case, the conditions for the explicit INNER JOINS could be simplified by using USING (and, also, eliminating the unnecessary subquery):

SELECT members.firstname || ' ' || members.lastname
AS "Full Name"
FROM borrowings
INNER JOIN members
USING memberid
INNER JOIN books
USING bookid
WHERE books.stock > (SELECT avg(stock) FROM books)
GROUP BY members.firstname, members.lastname;
It's an interesting example you use because I think it still serves the previous point. Peter Drucker wrote, “To sell the Eskimos a refrigerator to keep food cold, is finding a new market; to sell a refrigerator to keep food from getting too cold is actually creating a new product”. (The Practice of Management) This was apparently inspired by a true tale of a Westinghouse salesman who sold deep freezes and fridges to arctic-dwellers. Meat left outside was rock hard and took too long to thaw, and you can't quickly drink frozen water/juice/beer.

My point is, lazy conventional group wisdom is often wrong because it's invested in "the way things are." Mature industries are most vulnerable in my experience (personally, I have experience in the large and old-thinking parking and payment industries). Acceptance of "because that's not how things are done" blinds people to opportunities. The lazy majority are too quick to repeat that dismissal. This adds "weight" to a rejection, but little critical analysis. I have found it productive and profitable to often disagree and swim upstream. I recognize not all industries or product spaces are like this.

To achieve this did not require fully reverse engineering the cdrom controller but it is great someone did though.
Some time ago, I settled on a fairly similar idiosyncratic indentation style for SQL:

select
members.firstname as "First Name",
members.lastname as "Last Name"
from
borrowings
join
books on borrowings.bookid = books.bookid
join
members on members.memberid = borrowings.memberid
where
books.author = 'Dan Brown';

Normally, I'm a fairly slavish follower of style standards, but almost every bit of SQL I come across in my job is an unreadable mess, even when whoever wrote it did have the vague idea that consistent formatting was good.
New features? The Apocalypse is near!
Not disagreeing, just raising a related point. Once upon a time, children were contributing as workers early in life (on the farm, etc). Then in their teenage years. Now, many are still at home in their early- and mid-twenties pushing on after 12+ years of primary and secondary schooling to university and post-graduate qualifications.

I think working earlier has a few advantages such as being able to cover own costs (reducing the burden on parents), getting practical experience sooner, working out whether you're even on the right path earlier, etc.
Both the BI article and the NYT article it cites appears to be only able to quote the same 2 people. Now I know BI has a pro company/anti-worker agenda and I know NYT can be neutral on these matters. What I can't find in either are any numbers.

So I looked at Glassdoor[0] and the trend looks like after 8/2015, when this article was published, there is a sharp uptick in employee reviews. So far it appears almost everyone is happy with the change (customers, employees, and management).

Why is it, that SQL generally is so poorly commented? Almost every time I see an SQL script, I cringe for the poor formatting. It's generally not like the writers of these scripts are poor at formatting other code...

Sweden had colonies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_overseas_colonies . Sweden also had slave trade. Denmark/Norway had colonies as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_colonial_empire . Greenland and the Faroe Islands are what remain of the Danish colonial empire.

Finland is another Nordic country, though not a Scandinavian country. Finland has never had an empire. It was too busy being controlled by Sweden and Russia. This means the Finns are Nordic people. Hence getgoingnow's statement cannot be true for all Nordic countries.

That said, cplanas is correct. Finland had no colonies, and for the other Nordic countries the colonies provided only a small revenue source. They surely did not "owe large part of their success to colonization in the past" as getgoingnow claims. Eg, Sweden's wealth historically comes from copper and iron, and Sweden was a poor country. Norway's w

I see you switched from "Nordic countries" to "Nordic people" and then to "Normans", to then imply that successful Norman conquests and colonization lead to a significant economic gain to the Nordic countries. I do not think that's a meaningful connection for the current discussion.

First, I do not like how you imply there is only one type of colonization. There's settler colonialism, like how the Bantu migrations displaced the Pygmy populations in early Congo history, or how the Norse/Danes controlled the region known as the Danelaw, or how the Norse settled in France, and assimilated (switched to Catholicism and to the French language), or how the Norse colonized Iceland.

There's also exploitation colonialism, which England and Spain are two of the best known examples. But the Norse conquest of England, which might have enriched some of the Norse in France, never went back to "the Nordic countries". Where then is the source of the revenue stream that getgoingnow implied was a basis for the success of the modern Nordic countries?

Second, the connection from "Normans" to "Nordic countries" doesn't work that way. The term "Nordic" is a relatively recent term that refers to a list of modern countries and territories; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries . It does not refer to Brittany, where the Normans lived, nor to Britain or southern Italy, which the Normans conquered.

Third, "Nordic people" has a variety of meanings (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_people ). It can refer to the Germanic people as a whole, or the people who live in the specific Nordic countries, or a term from scientific racism from the late 1800s, or the Norse, or more specifically the Vikings. I think your introduction of that term confuses the topic more than it helps. Which definition do you mean to use, and why not stay with "Nordic countries"?

Fourth, the Normans are only one link in history. Why stop with them? The Normans come from the Norse. The Norse are Germans. Why not simply say it's all due to German colonization?

Then again, you wrote "The countries that made all the colonies are Nordic colonies". I must have missed that part of history where they covered how the Normans colonized the Islamic Iberian Peninsula and lead to the Portuguese colonies.

Anecdotal; comment vote scores aren't exposed so I'm not sure if an analysis is possible, even with what's been loaded on to BigQuery [0].

Maybe "mediocre" is the wrong word, as it implies an absolute judgment (on some non-existent scale of "quality"). I guess my intuition is derivative of the "don't judge a book by its cover", in that even if a submitted and upvoted story is not something I feel like reading, I still might read the comments to see the discussion.

Maybe someone internal to HN can do a quick calculation of how many child-comments surpass their parents (while accounting for the differences in visibility).

Welcome Scott!

Three pieces of feedback generally.

1. Thank you for the comment collapse feature! And having the patience of Job generally speaking!

2. Some comments really stand out as exceptional and a +1 karma doesn't quite seem to be enough. Maybe if enough people save it into their favorites it could be promoted in some way? Dark blue text would be a nice feature. Not too intrusive but recognizable as a mark of quality.

3. While the karma system mostly works to deter trolls it is also a somewhat troubled concept. Each forum has political facets or biases even with the best of moderation efforts and there are noticeable shifts over time too. Is there a way to separate political point me-tooism and 'dueling' from forum maintenance?

I have two ideas that might help here. Obviously moderators getting involved is a good route to disaster, but maybe if one setting is a coarse filter to prevent a user having to see any politics. Another setting (toggled by discrete thread button) is to 're-black' a comment thread to see what the dissenting views were (and odd cases like your post being grayed out right now, maybe the flamewar detector got triggered by accident).
It does sound very unusual to be surprised by that, yes. Although it is understandable that your surprise is constant.
Yes, the new font-family is now:

That would work well if all of the support needed by the disabled person fell under a single universal healthcare program, but it often doesn't. Disabled people often need non-medical assistance as well. Those are often separate social programs.
Which font depends on whether you're logged in (which is weird).

Why not use the default browser font?

In any case, an unwelcomed change for me.
That "anyone" also includes you, no? Why aren't you doing anything about it?
