Stripe is one of the Bay Area companies that clearly discriminated against me based on membership in a protected class. Of course as a white male, it's "ok" to do so by the standards of California political correctness. (The discrimination was based on age. I'm grateful it happened when it did, rather than, say, after taking an offer.)

Given the number of "support hell" horror stories that have been coming out about stripe in recent years, there really is not much point in you hanging out here spinning to try and put your company in a good light, you would be better off digging into why you are failing these people.
As long as the country you live in does not levy an "exit" tax of some sorts (on the individual, not the company), you should be able to move. Only the individual shareholder is moving, you are not moving the company abroad.

Now I understand why Russian-speakers dominate many gaming communities. I pay around 20$ for an 8mbps connection, with a monthly download limit of about 50GB. Now you know why there won't be Indians competing in global e-leagues for a long time to come.
I think a lot of people feel like this, but perhaps not as much as you - the things you mention are what most people have to push past to do anything. Certainly I do - although I do enjoy sport.

I don't however think that sport doesn't involve engaging the brain. It depends what sport you do.

Do just go for walks? [1]

The other things are Yoga, Thai Chi or Martial Arts which have a lot of philosophy to them to learn, so you're using your brain.

Ask HN: Is trolling on social media a sign that machine learning is overhyped?
YouTube comments, Facebook and Twitter are all full of trolls. *

Facebook also has lots of business profiles (not pages) that aren't trying very hard to pass as people, as well as spam pages, forums and the like also using human profiles

With the rise of organized government trolling ops, this issue is becoming much more important.

You'd think that these leading lights would have figured out how to flag bad accounts more effectively than they do, and to train ML models to find similar accounts to those that are closed after manual reporting. But none of this seems to be the case.

Could it be that they simply lack the ability to do so? And does that tell us anything about the state of AI and Big Data in 2016?

*The classic meaning of "troll" not the generecized insult
Absolutely true, but I haven't seen any ThinkPads with AMD graphics.
I love pandoc, thanks for this great tool :)

to me it's the perfect tool to generate user docs and manuals for software and other cli tools, my best use case is markdown (github flavoured) to man, markdown to HTML and PDF, etc.
Not necessarily. Going forward, if we want to get more stuff done, these things have to be abstracted further. We can't continue with this constant learning mountain just to figure out how to do things that can be expressed with a few lines of well thought-out syntax.
Radical for many decades meant revolutionary (as opposed to reactionary)/anarchist/green/counterculture/etc. It's where calling something 'rad' as a compliment came from. A wide category in which the pirate party firmly fits. Anything sufficiently outside the mainstream business-as-usual. It wouldn't be inappropriate to refer to the Sanders campaign in the US as 'radical'. I don't think it's Orwellian at all -- I think assuming 'radical' == fascist is eyebrow-raising and missing historical context.
> Can I just say how much I love the way public libraries have navigated themselves into the digital age?

yes, I also enjoy visiting the library to see the unwashed hobos jacking off to barely legal pornographic websites in a public place.
Most providers offer low income broadband which offers service for $9.95 per month with no installation/activation or modem rental fees. Cox even includes access to its Wi-Fi hotspot network.

Insofar as "California political correctness" is a thing, and age is a protected class (and, unlike other "protected classes" its not a generally prohibited axis of discrimination, its only protected for age over 40), the former absolutely does not accept discrimination based on the latter, irrespective of other traits.

https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Bitcoin,str...

Consider that the spikes in bitcoin are often about scandals in the news with a concerted effort by the state regulated media over the past half decade to brand bitcoin as the tool of criminals and terrorists... and still I think pretty much everybody realizes that most bitcoin users are neither criminals nor terrorists.

This is a big topic in HCI called 'Total Capture'. The name implies that all audio and video of your daily life will be captured and enable many interesting studies.
What? No dude.

$300k is still $16,000/mo net, worst case scenario. $40k is like $3k net, best case.

So, unless it's impossible to live in SF for less than $13,000/mo, SF wins.
I would be curious to learn how many others in the community made similar moves and how it worked out.
For less than the price of a mini I got an old aluminum-tower 2010 Mac Pro on craigslist, swapped in a used hex core Xeon, 32GB of ECC, raided SSDs, and a GTX 750Ti. It does use kind of a lot of power, but watching node compile in a minute or two (about 4X faster than my iMac at work, sigh) is nice. It Geekbenches just below a 'bottom end' new Pro.

> the things you mention are what most people have to push past to do anything

Well, I enjoy programming, browsing the web, watching TV and playing games for their own sakes, without having to push past any lack of desire. If anything, not doing them is tough (well, I can take TV or leave it).

> Do just go for walks?

Honestly, that's my favourite form of exercise, because at least then I am able to think, and I don't sweat. And it's nice to see the flowers, smile at attractive MOTOS, smell the air. But it's not terribly good exercise so I do other stuff as well.

I'd rather sit in front of a computer though.
The guy you are replying to is a co-founder of stripe. You are being downvoted for disagreeing with him. On Hacker News there are certain personalities that you must not debate.

I don't get the connection between drop shipping and money laundering either (As if money laundering was a crime as defined at the federal level- everyone is already guilty).

Nobody would use a credit card to launder money since it is tied to a bank, or in the case of a visa gift card, limited to such small denominations its impractical for money laundering.
LinkedIn suffers huge bot attack that steals members’ personal data
its really nice when people like you offer to do this, its a really great sign of good faith. But, reality is that a lot of people don't want to have to rely on special treatment to get something done. The fact is that the lowest level gatekeeper in your customer service organization is the biggest factor in how good a company's customer service is perceived to be. If I have a shit experience with the first person I contact in customer service, fight to speak to a manager, and then successfully resolve my issue, I'm still pissed and have a bad taste in my mouth. Its the exact same reason everyone hates "contact sales for pricing" statements on product/pricing pages. Its a bunch or red-tape that does nothing but take up too much of someone's time to figure out if they can successfully use a service or not. As awesome as it is when people like you offer to do this, it means your customer service group has critically failed just based on the fact that this has happened.

Rants aside, Stripe has the best technical/developer support of any company I have every worked with. The constant presence of real technical resources in public IRC channels is phenomenal. I've been able to fire up irc, ask a question, and get an answer in under 5 minutes many times. Well done. I have not worked with support on production issues with charges though; I can't speak to that.
1) 'Quantity demanded' would have been more precise (and more verbose) than 'demand' but you tell exactly the story I was attempting to.

2) I was critiquing the claim that 'automation reduces efficiency', not the claim that there could be distributional issues. You are attacking a straw-man.

> The population of people who qualify for taxpayer subsidized Medicaid cabs is significantly less than the US population.

If you follow the citation for this datum, you'll find that the 3.6 million people are not drawn exclusively from those qualifying or taxpayer subsidized Medicaid cabs, but rather are inferred from surveying a sample of the general population.

> The estimate of 3.6 million Americans who miss or delay medical care because of a lack of access to NEMT each year, derived from analysis of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (MEPS), is conservative and should be seen as a lower bound estimate.

Direct email works wonders, especially if you have some kind of in. The first software development job I got was from a friend suggesting I email their CTO (after they had done particularly well in an interview). I hadn't heard anything back in a week through the standard process, got a reply to the direct email trying to schedule an on-site within fifteen minutes.
Ageing: Cheating death
Presumably, when ordered to work, the benefits would be cut off if the work was refused or performed unacceptably.

I mean, otherwise this whole mandatory-work-for-benefits thing doesn't make any sense (not to say that its a good idea even then.)
This is one of the things I really love about Ubuntu. Ubuntu monospace is the most readable and unambiguous monospace font I've ever seen.
I was skeptical but its seems like a tool worth trying. Bookmarked the page and will share it with the rest of my team. We tend to use Zoom todo the same thing. This might turn out to be better.
I wish we could have more separation of government entities.

Community internet could/should be owned by the community, separate from the government.

It could be structured as a private company, where shares are only owned by people within the community and then they have voting rights. Still community owned, but very separate from the more general government.

Interestingly this would also allow community members to invest in their own internet infrastructure directly.
I did just that.

Mac > Hackintosh > Linux. but....

In the end I found out it was far worse having to deal with the crappy alpha version apps for linux than fixing the hackintosh. If you are used to the quality of mac apps you will certainly miss them once on linux. I did.

This was until the day the Hackintosh died with an unknown freaky kernel issue and I made the best decision I ever made: bought a second-hand quad core mac mini.

I never want to hear about hackintoshes ever since.
The lyric does fit perfectly but it's not based on Lake Nyos. The Lake Nyos CO2 outgassing was on August 21 and Graceland was released on August 26.
Well Wikipedia is more curated than people really imagine.

Yes, you can start writing an article on anything. But don't expect it to last long until someone comes along and flags it in violation of some guideline or other.

Also, most of the more historically significant articles are padlocked. Thus not just anyone can go about editing them.
Persistance at something is really fundamentally important, certainly in sport. Most people really respond to enthusiasm.
This seems like an unnecessarily jaded/cynical view.

I'm sure there are lewd incidents that every librarian has had to deal with but I'm also sure that the vast majority of visitors/members are civil and better because of the institution.
If you pick the right hardware things will be pretty smooth! But it is called Hackintosh for a reason. Things can get ugly, but if you backup your system you could be pretty safe. Go to tonymacx86, de facto best resource for Hackintosh builds. Process can be a bit nerve wrecking but I think it is rewarding thing. I learned a lot about macOS just through using Hackintosh for 3 years. But let me tell you, buy iMac/Macbook and Chromebook (for Linux). Hackintosh is great but you may spend a lot of time tinkering about some trivial thing (I'm bit of a OCD person).
I was four when I saw on television a special that featured either Peter Croft or John Bachar free soloing a granite face somewhere in Yosemite and I decided then and there that that was the most badass thing a person could do.

I've been obsessed with climbing ever since, and progressed from furniture to trees to nearby buildings, and it wasn't until I was 16 I finally got my own car and gear and independently made the 4 hour drive to the nearest natural vertical face to climb it. This was in the early 90s, before climbing gyms were common.

Though I decided not long after, after spending most of a day stranded 2/3rds of the way up a cliff that I had taken it as far as I was willing to go as a free soloist.

Alex Honnold is something else.
client lib code is never the issue. usually scaling or breaking contracts is

you can just add it as separate key (similar how you embed eg user objects)

```
posts: {…}
interactions: { commented_on_posts: [1212,12,1212,121] }
```

btw most people over estimate this problem the _total_ amount of user interactions is usually very small

in almost all cases you could download it once at boot for the user.

I don't know what you're arguing against.
I've been waiting for the Mac Mini to get refreshed. It'll do everything that you want for $500-800 and you can always add a thunderbolt RAID if you need more storage.

I would like one that can support multiple 4k monitors, but we shall see. They are due for a refresh since the current offerings are a few years old.

The way you lose money in credit cards is via chargeback.

The more government and companies like stripe push those businesses out of credit cards, the more mainstream the use of bitcoin will become.
I have, and it sucks.

When I was young, I'd get hired to do things I'd never even done before, because, "you're smart, and you'll figure it out." And I was smart, and I did figure it out. Yay.

When I became old, I'd only get hired if 1) I had generated explicit expertise in the area they were hiring for, and I could prove it, or 2) I was being hired by someone I worked with 20 years earlier who remembered me and that I was smart and could figure things out.

So the advice is: 1) go back in time and generate a huge network of people who can testify as to your general competence, they will help you keep making a living for decades to come or, 2) (if no time machine available) pick ONE thing, read everything you can about it and and practice it, and become an expert, so you can pass the interview in today's world.

As a good generalist, you can learn new things fast. But you'll have to do the learning before you get hired, not after.
Glancing at the map of Centennial, Colorado, tells me that this is way beyond a first/last mile problem. The problem is this exurb is so sparse that there's nothing within a mile of this station. This appears to be the walking path from the nearest residence to the Dry Creek station, and it's a full mile if you make a suicidal dash across a five-lane with a 40MPH speed limit, or 1.2 miles if you follow legally-prescribed sidewalks and crosswalks.

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.5800626,-104.8864011/Dry+...

This isn't a "last mile" problem it is a problem with this urban form, which cannot be effectively served by transit. It's hard to believe anyone put a rail station here in the first place. It must have cost a fortune, especially with that multi-story parking structure.

Probably the best thing that could be done with this site is take the rail station as a blessing and level all of those office parks within a mile of the place, building up a walkable transit village instead. You could easily put several thousand residences in that area instead of what appears to be a shitload of surface parking.
my reasoning:

you end up w/ a lot of filters very quickly and related post id will be just one of them

also linking it to another resource usually involved expecting defaults (default ordering, default display, pagination etc)

if you stay "flat" this tends to be less of an issue when usecases become more complex

It's not uncommon for a commute to take two hours (certainly around London) especially if there are changes between trains / metros involved. Although a good friend of mine had a mental breakdown which I think was brought on partially by that length of commute.
Thanks John, just sent you an email (HN in the subject line).

That would be great to see what the underlying cause or rational behind a declined transaction is.

I was especially surprised by how frequently payments were declined, especially after mandating that a name, address and CVC were required.
I'm a big fan of mac minis but the RAM soldered on board is a "no go" for me and so also thinking of going hackintosh only for that reason.
I think it requires a certain callousness of form though, you know reading the joke and then linking it to others.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do it; I just think that it's an interesting observation that in a different culture no one would make the joke. Probably the dettached medium of communication (internet, anonymous) also has to do with this.
Redmine actually has a Markdown mode, though it's probably too much work to convert an existing Redmine installation (unless you can use pandoc?)

Most universities have a proxy service that allows you to access journals and other digital databases from anywhere in the world.

Where is your vacation spot? EG: you have a fixed one like a cabin or something that you always go to, or do you change it up?

How far is it from your non-remote location? I guess with a week you could spend a fair amount of time driving there without it being too bad because the drive time is aggregated over 10 days (presuming both weekends are at the vacation spot.)

Anyway, this is a great idea!
On making cops accountable, it does all come down to the public clamor for this. We see these incidents and many are horrified and yet nothing changes. This is why I wonder about working the wallet angle, and if insurance can be part of the solution. How many New York taxpayers know that the City paid close to half a billion over 5 years to settle NYPD related lawsuits? Can we get more data on this from other cities and publicize it? Could a concerted #TaxpayersLivesMatter campaign put enough political pressure on mayors and governors (and counteract the police unions) to change the way these legal settlements work today?

This sounds familiar. Exactly like neo-liberalism. Privatizing profits while communizing loss.
While I loved my X220, I don't see a good reason to get an older laptop today.

I'm a huge fan of the X1 series, which has about the same weight as the X260 but a bigger and higher-resolution screen. The X260 has the advantage of a hot-swappable, externally chargeable battery, and a better docking station; if you don't need either of those, go with the X1 and its awesome screen.
The only other thing I can think of is people using selfie sticks at the tops of antenna towers.
Ok but if my body takes for example an amino acid and uses it as a building block for repairing a muscle, that building block hasn't been burned, correct? So that "calorie" is functioning in a completely different way than as an energy source.

It's like we didn't burn the wood or store it for fuel, we used it to repair the walls of the house.

Right? Or am I confused.

1) it costs a great deal less in salary to pay construction workers to install aerial or buried fiber in ukraine. Or to aim point to point microwave.

2) A network engineeering position that might cost a company $115,000/year in the US could be filled for $35,000/year in Ukraine.

3) Eastern european ISPs are much more "Adventurous" in terms of the low cost network equipment they use for core infrastructure. $1500 Mikrotiks in the same role where a US ISP would use a $15,000 Ciscos or Juniper.
