12B sounds like an incredible number for labs. Is there a source?

I wonder how many people that are not in government specifically buy black Audis in that city to take advantage of this. It's actually possible (although unlikely) that much of the bad behavior is from pretenders.

So does Walmart Labs, though. What makes Jet a better buy? Even if they've proven successful as their own company I'm super-skeptical of any startup merging with a larger organisation and retaining anywhere near 100% efficiency.

The rule-of-thumb is that you should expect to spend 1 month looking for a job for every $10,000 of salary you expect to make. So it's not at all surprising that an engineer would take 8 months to find a new job.
Thanks for that link. I realize this is a learn opportunity for me. But my question was aimed at figuring out if it is better to stick with a team of old timers in the company where I have limited opportunities to make a big impact. vs. joining a new team with potentially better opportunities.

What surprises me is that in many European countries, you can now order ALL of your groceries delivered.

You place an order, and someone physically walks around a local supermarket, picks up stuff, they put on a van, and it is delivered to your home. It is actually very inexpensive (and free if you spend enough).

Yet nobody in the US does that (well nobody outside of big cities). Walmart right now today has a HUGE advantage, they can deliver products impossible to Amazon like fresh fruit and veg, meats, and all kinds of things.

But yet, do they? No. Walmart already has "warehouses" in every state, city, location. They're called stores. But instead of double dipping on that advantage, they keep using them as traditional retailers while Amazon rules the home delivery advantage.

Amazon are currently moving into an area Walmart already has an advantage in (being local) but because Walmart under utilises their advantage to such a large degree, Amazon is left alone to do so.

As folks have mentioned, the evolution of the Top500 shows that "world's fastest supercomputer" is no longer an EE feat: it's an infrastructure feat, and not much of one, either.

I'm not an EE, but if that 110 GHz is the transistor's Ft or gain-bandwidth product, then I think that's a respectable but not exceptional transistor speed— something you'd get from a silicon-wafer process a few generations ago. Which is actually pretty nice, because it means you could use this flexible process to produce actual computational elements, not just displays and things.

Ugh, this is a poorly written piece. Points are muddled, poor segues, poor references/unbacked claims, and a meandering story. Not what I'd hope for from Levy.

From the article:

> "..in fact, Uber felt it was treated fairly by a government interested in transportation innovation"

Anyone have a source on this?

Also, this seems to me like something you'd say even without believing it, if you were afraid of disgruntling the government (either for Uber's operations, or for your prospective future endeavors).
Can I Jet My Bitcoin to Wal-Mart in an Uber?
Well, that's really debatable. Because the company is growing quickly, there is more name recognition, so the company is able to hire subject matter experts. Even I do know more than them about the specifics pertaining to the company/history of why something was written a particular way, they still would know more about the domain.

Also, I wasn't going to switch jobs, just want to move to a different team. Thanks for your comment.

Other terrible side effects of our subsidies are a reliable food supply as we overproduce far beyond what's necessary which makes us nearly immune to supply shocks like pre-1930s america. Ever heard of famine in the united states in recent memory? Didn't think so. Know what else causes nutritional deficiency? Not eating. While there may be some problems with our current system, they are firmly in the "good problem to have" territory.

Exporting food for free is a more complicated topic, on the imports side, protectionism is justified for critical functions. If we outsourced our food production, we could get it more cheaply (it's already cheap), but imagine if a supplier suddenly decides to cut us off? Food security is a national security priority moreso than typical military stuff like steel mills.
The author does say he's aware of this, and PRs are welcome... I like the idea of being able to flag certain domains as well... although I'm rarely looking at newest anyway.

Confused about whether you should insert or swipe your credit card?
What's the trick to knowing? Just read the screen on the terminal :)

If the screen tells you to swipe the card then you must swipe regardless of whether or not you have a chip.

If the screen says insert or swipe the card then you must insert the card if it has a chip.
I both understand the demand for this and dislike it. But, assuming ethical questions stand aside, I do have some pricing reactions:

This should be a monthly service, full stop. You mention users use it once, and then not for a while. That is the best possible scenario for a recurring revenue business. You should stop offering one-off purchases immediately if you want to see revenue grow.

I can think off the top of my head of a few 'ongoing' value adds you could do; in particular, you could remember emails you couldn't find, and if you do find them notify the user. There are probably more things you could imagine if you were closer to the business.

This would also let you charge spammers a lot, or preferably just keep them out and stay more moral by just capping the monthly requests at something reasonable for a human, not a spammer.
In the long run, I think this is good for Bitcoin. It's supposed to be a decentralized currency. Centralizing Bitcoin in an exchange makes the exchange a big target. This disincentivizes centralization and limits how much centralization can actually happen when people are foolish enough to try.

For individuals who lose Bitcoin because of exchanges getting hacked, it's because they leave Bitcoin in the exchange. This is antithetical to how Bitcoin is intended to be used. The answer is, don't do that. Make cold storage paper wallets and keep your Bitcoin there.

Just because the government didn't need to put their thumb on the scale, yet, doesn't mean they would let a foreign entity take the lead in as critical a piece of infrastructure as transportation.

I strongly suspect it was a "heads we win, tails you lose" situation that just came up heads. But that doesn't mean the outcome was ever in question.

I am somewhat skeptical the economist is pimping their content on HN hoping for a bigger audience.
Hmm, I feel like a lot of these websites are good for the news feed. If something big happens in the news and HN wants to talk about it, I'd rather the featured article be from nytimes or wsj than some random person's blog.

I also think there is a total lack of consensus about what constitutes "noise" on HN or how bad the problem is. I find the political discussions here to be interesting, but I know a lot of people don't (they just want to talk about business and tech). I like talking about "hip" JS frameworks, but a lot of people here aren't web developers or aren't interested in this area of web development. I'm not a super "businessy" person, so a lot of "A merged with B and now their preferred equity is underwater" articles/discussions go over my head. I often find Medium articles thought-provoking, but some of the stuff posted there is garbage, and many HN readers have only been exposed to that side.

Perhaps a better way to attack this problem is to look at the topics commonly posted about on HN and find a way to filter by topic. There are precise/difficult and greedy/easy ways to go about this, but that might be the best way to satisfy people who have different opinions about what is "noise".

1 - if I can pass the interview having lied about where I worked, why did I have to do the interview? It just seems silly.

I had a DK2 but decided to hold off on purchasing the new headsets. I know that everything has gotten much, much better but even then the novelty was wearing off for me.

Motion controllers may have changed that. I can't really describe why the excitement wore off for me. I'm still optimistic and will end up purchasing current gen once the price comes down or simply wait for the next iteration.
Amusingly, the tactic resembles in-person haggling in China (and many other places). Salesman offers price, you walk away, they run after you offering a lower price.
If you follow that meta-advice, you'll probably end up learning some things the hard way that you could have learned the easy way.

I'll take the flawed lobbying system over the Chinese system any day.
Your comment sounds like it's coming from ten years ago or something.

China may (or may not, for all I know) have beaten the West in the game of getting the technology it wants but the country has enough structural problems that it's chances of getting ahead of the West broadly are looking very dim.

Problems: Horrific pollution, huge loans to inefficient state-run industries, massive real state and infrastructure mal-investment and bubbles, losing conventional factory jobs to even lower waged centered without gaining better jobs in compensation, having a first world demographic structure (lots of old people) without a first world standard of living, a government that's resorting to repression and ideology to solve problems and so-doubling down on all mistakes, the falsification of statistics can barely conceal an economy in stasis, etc.

So, there's little to fear from a Chinese economic "juggernaut" but the decline of China poses serious problems - especially, it seems to be what fueling the huffing and puffing over the South China sea.

The price in these "the business model didn't work so let's save the investors and sell" type deals is primarily driven by paying off the early investors. Term sheets typically say these investors make a decent return before anyone else gets paid.

Conversation at the deal table is usually something like "we need X valuation to meet our term sheet with investors so the founders and a few others get paid." The rescue buyer generally doesn't care about what the employees get, in fact it's very much in the buyers interest that the employees don't get too much.

In other words the size of the valuation being bounced around is likely not driven by the value of assets for shareholders but rather the size of the contractual hole in the ground that founders dug with their investors... to escape that hole $X is needed.
(I am Chinese, is living in Vancouver, and know many mainland Chinese.)

In the eye of a mainland Chinese, an US citizenship is worth significantly less than Canadian citizenship. Take it for what you will, the bottom line is, no one wants to be an US citizen.

The difference in application fee is dramatic, as a Canadian citizenship application fee (to the middleman) costs 3x more than the US counterpart (Green Card).

I honestly think, not to be insulting or childish but actually literal, that there's some part of many tech people's brain missing... Like Aspergers and ASD. (I'm certainly not a doctor)

I feel that many tech people lack some human connection. I think this guides such aesthetics and its disavowing and denial of community and collective conscious.

It's the only working hypothesis I can think of for why such decisions are proactively made and why such inordinate amounts of money are spent in such ways...work-world mcmansioning; a sanitized and saccharine white gloves of latex treatment.

Maybe I need to form a more detailed pro-vision of what I mean instead of being all "no".
Nope.

I can't find a PDF of the original study, but in the review, they mention that one quadrant of the mouth was professionally flossed. This presumably lets them do within-subject comparisons: are there more/less cavities (or whatever) within the flossed portion?

This should remove confounds like 'ate more sugary things'. It's possible, of course, that kids brushed more on the flossed side (or the unflossed side), but you could presumably quantify that too.

No one is claiming that they are "lawless mini-Afghanistans" in Sweden, as you stated.
(from the article I linked to: "To the best of my knowledge, there are no Shariah patrols in Sweden.")

"Segregation (noun): the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart."
You can do this in Haskell as well, it's just clunkier since you usually end up needing some combo of MultiParamTypeClasses and plumbing around extra types.

The ML approach is better for this use case, but the Haskell approach can do the same with a bit more verbosity.
Medium posts are almost invariably opinions. They're like the editorial pages for Hacker News. If you prefer hard news or you think that opinion pieces on Hacker News are susceptible to groupthink, filtering out medium posts makes sense.

OTOH, some people come to hacker news for opinion & debate, so medium posts keep getting voted up.

I still, currently, recommend WordPress, despite its flaws.

I don't recommend doing ecommerce (directly) with it, or anything that could gather sensitive information, but for "just a website" with a bunch of cool stuff, WordPress is pretty much impossible to beat for the sheer amount of "cool stuff" you can do without ever writing code. The plugin ecosystem is tremendous.

The automated updates, so far, mostly stay ahead of the curve on exploits in the wild. We have a large pool of users to draw information from (thousands of servers running all manner of web apps), and we're far more likely to see exploits of systems that are harder to update; Drupal, Joomla, and especially a bunch of little apps that have tiny market share and small maintenance teams and cranky update processes. Having an easy and automated system for updates is just incredibly valuable for security.

What really needs to happen is everyone making web applications needs to start shipping a command line client for updates, that is safe/reliable enough to be run from cron. Best of both worlds: you don't need the app files to be write-able from the app itself (which is one of the big security concerns raised by this post) and you're always running the latest version even on systems that aren't being worked on daily. There's still the command line element to the problem, but it could be mostly automated away by control panels and installer tools (of which there are many).

There are a lot of forgotten CMS installations out there, and those are the biggest security problem, IMHO.

That depends very much on what you consider "working". I don't see any value whatsoever in what bronz was communicating, and any discussion that starts from that is going to be equally vapid. That's not "working" to me.

I'm not sure why there is so much negativity in these comments. LeadGenius is nothing more than a well-financed spam enabler that charges more, and yet they are celebrated in the Valley and have been handed $18 million in funding. The only difference is that they aren't as up-front about how the data they sell is derived.
I have a Vive, and love it. My kids still use it every day, often with friends over. That said, they are definitely hungry for new and more sophisticated / open-ended content.

Upgrades to tiltbrush are a big deal; a good sculpting tool would be greatly appreciated. Budget Cuts updates also. Easier unity setups to make their own environments would be rad, or that racket-based setup carmack demoed a year ago. They would LOVE that.

I think if you can wait another 18 months you could get a v2 headset with a much larger stable of content, but there's lots to do right now, the experiences are just more bite-sized. If you aren't going to code with it and aren't a highly avid gamer it's possible you'll run out of interesting experiences in a few months.
I'm snobbish about Wordpress too, but it also keeps obnoxious web marketing people out of my hair and busy with their site. Long as they don't go too overboard with plugins....
