Uber's API includes an affiliate program where you earn $5 per new user you bring into Uber. Lyft does not. Why? Why would anyone, except for an incredible preference, choose to integrate with Lyft when they can make possibly a little bit of money using Uber?

Edit: I was wrong. Couldn't find it on the linked sites.
Couldn't an "unsubscribe" functionality be written into an email server? You'd have to change the way mailboxes are stored. In particular, email threads and recipients lists would have to become explicit objects in a distributed database. Perhaps threads could be identified by a canonicalized version of the original recipients list, plus some other information?

Youtube makes money from ads too. They are doing this because its what the advertisers want. These so victimized wahwah creators can host on YouTube for free, use unlimited bandwidth, storage, etc and put sponsor ads in their videos themselves. Its not terribly hard for a channel worth any salt to find sponsors and self include advertising. Most of these youtube celebs have no backbone, no perserverance and are reactionary and quick to point fingers and whine. Their two bit followers regurgitate what ever half brained idea is told to them. As if this is a social injustice. Ugh.

The mudrakers and journalists of yesteryear had to do what these lazy youtubers expect to get like dog food. The money doesnt come from YouTube, its from the advertisers.

I agree the imagery is not helpful. However, these privacy preserving tools are very important for digital currency.

Currently, if you receive money it is possible to trace it back to some event, be it a theft, or funds used in some legal or moral grey area.

While these tools will make it easier to launder money, they will remove this "taint".

It is possible and likely that governments will attempt to censor transactions using these "tainted" funds, seriously damaging fungibility.

Many believe that for digital currency to succeed, it must be fungible - the title of the Bitcoin whitepaper is "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".
I feel completely lost using any of the options in this thread on their sample pages. Especially on a mobile phone, it's jumping everywhere an popups and grey outs..Yanks.

What's wrong with creating a proper page that your users can read from top to bottom. To me this is fancy over usability, cuz we can.

Well my point is that positive, doesn't actually mean positive - there could be more meetups about coffee because there are less good coffee places to consume it. To illustrate this point: I would intuitively expect there to be more pro life meetups in a liberal area and more pro choice in a conservative one - since the norm is baked into society and people don't feel the need to meet up about what everyone agrees to. A much better approach would be to use existence of business that support said aspect of a city.

This happened a few times at the bank I worked at for almost a decade.

You could count on the technologists to not throw gas on the fire by replying (everyone'd heard of Bedlam DL3), but once non-technical sales, trading and ops were on the list, all bets were off.
This comparison in dollar terms is quite incorrect. Just because France has lower GDP doesn't mean they have a lower quality of life. Also, just comparing number of workers misses the difference in number of working hours. Comparing GDP-PPP would have been a better approach.
> You just can't jump into real mode from x64 mode, you need a virtualized environment in 32 bit mode to do that.

I think what you mean is the vm86 mode is not available in 64-bit protected mode (no hardware task switching and 64-bit IRET ignores EFLAGS.VM).

But you can jump into real mode from 64-bit protected mode by clearing PE and PG at the same time. There are a couple more chores to do (clear EFER.LME and CR4.PAE) if you want the real mode code to be able to enter 16- or 32-bit protected mode. This[1] is an example.

My best guess: The article is about an online faux pas, and hyperlinking to a PDF when an HTML page would be perfectly sufficient is a self-aware nod to another online faux pas. (Fellow HN user oneeyedpigeon points out this faux pas in their comment.)

My seventh-best guess: The NYTimes' CMS lacks support for actual footnotes, so linking to another page is the next best thing. But since the footnote doesn't make complete sense unless you've come from the main article, the web editors didn't want the other page to be easily discoverable. Problem is, the CMS automatically makes any article styled as a regular article SEO-friendly, so they decided to work around that by putting the text into a less-SEO-friendly PDF.
One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence: 2016 Report
For the companies we have raised $1 million for, 60% to 70% come from their own users or customers. The rest from the Wefunder community.

Generally, it's a pretty good investment signal when you personally love using a product. So lots of customers invest for most high-quality companies.
Yes through the bleeder valves but a bleeder valve isn't an emergency pressure release valve.

Bleeder valves are designed to bleed gas from a system which contains a liquid. They aren't designed to be used to relieve pressure in an emergency situation, infact under high enough pressure they stop working all together.

In a more common setting you see these types of valves on breaks and on heating systems that use hot water, while they do bleed steam they bleed it in order to prevent the accumulation of gas and air bubbles within the system not to control the pressure.
Arachnys | London UK/New York USA | Devops, Data engineering, Frontend | Full Time

We are a risk and compliance solution, splicing together data from the deep web with unstructured and semi-structured information to help customers make decisions about the risks posed by their customers and third parties. Our customers are the world’s largest financial institutions, law firms, and consultancies. They use our software to identify and address financial crimes such as fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing.

We handle hundreds of terabytes of structured and unstructured data, and as a result our infrastructure is pretty complex - Hadoop, HBase, ElasticSearch, Python, Docker, some Go, etc - and highly automated using Ansible.

- We're looking for devops/sysadmin types to join our small devops team and help us go to the next level in automation and orchestration. Bonus points if you have managed server fleets of 100+. (LON or NYC)
- Ambitious, multitalented data engineers with experience with graph databases, ElasticSearch, Hadoop, or similar technologies. (LON or NYC)
- If you're a senior frontend or backend engineer based in NY looking for a leadership role, get in touch. (NYC)

Email jobs@arachnys.com with a link to your profiles (github, linkedin etc - our own github https://github.com/arachnys/ shows we're serious about open source and actively open up non-core parts of our infrastructure) if you're interested.

I don't think this is really what Apple is concerned about or rather what you mention falls into a grey area.

There are a large number of apps which just don't work. They crash, depend on web applications that don't exist anymore or they've been questionable from the very beginning.

Apple can and should clean up apps that don't fall into a grey area without creating an inconvenience for users like you.
I've been checking out a few invoicing app alternatives:

I've mainly been using Invoicely (free if you just create invoices and send them as PDFs), but now feeling bad about it because: https://medium.com/@prabhaths/invoicely-a-hiveage-rip-off-b9... I really like free, though, so thinking about switching to InvoicePlane.

OpenTable - Senior Back-end (Java) engineer / San Francisco, CA / Full Time / On Site

We're putting together a new team to build a machine learning based platform that helps restaurants attract diners by combining personalization, an auction driven ad bidding engine, and self serve campaign building tools.

We build core services on the JVM using Java. Web backends and simple middleware services are often made with Node.JS. Data is stored in PostgreSQL. Services are tied together with RabbitMQ and Kafka. We run a Mesos cluster for large-scale, distributed applications. We're particularly looking for a senior Java engineer.

Your first link appears to require the installation of an app on the phone (after installing a dev certificate). The app, running arbitrary native code, performs the actual jailbreak (most likely using a chain of kernel exploits).

The devs seem to have gotten around the App Store by using an approach like TestFlight, which allows apps to be deployed for development and wider testing purposes without going through the App Store.

mea culpa on IRS statute of limitations - I am not a tax lawyer/accountant - let alone an international tax accountant. In addition, the Apple/Ireland/EU issue is not directly a "tax" issue, but an illegal subsidy issue by way of taxes - and even that has a 10 year 'statute' from the time of enquiry by the EU. Since the EU made the enquiries in 2013, the period covered became 2003-2015. Whilst there was no fraud in this case, EU law was broken.

The rest of my point remains though - this is not a new law, but a decades-old one.
Hi Emil, apologies, we're due for another dive into applications. We do try to reply to everyone, but at present we're small enough (and busy enough) that we run through applications in cycles... so there can be a significant delay.

I'll try to review yours tomorrow to at least get you an initial response.

For anyone else applying - if you have a time constraint (like "I think we'd really work well together, but I need to have a job lined up in the next 2 weeks") then you can contact me directly at cto@ (company domain).

Content of the ridiculous article in PDF

By Daniel Victor

O.K., here’s a little more context, for
those of you who need it.

It begins when an innocuous email that
you probably don’t need lands in your
inbox (as it did mine on Thursday).

Soon someone inevitably replies (all):
“Please remove me from this email
chain.”

Then another: “Unsubscribe.”

Soon, dozens of people are replying­all,
sending their fruitless requests to people
who are equally annoyed. Notifications on
your phone won’t stop buzzing.

This is known as the dreaded
replyallpocalypse.

When you are in this situation, the logical,
expert opinion is: Do not hit “reply all.”

You will only make things worse.

Another option: If you’re using Gmail, you
could mute the conversation and go on
with your day.

Otherwise, hunker down. We’re all in this
together, and it’ll all be over soon.

You will be relied upon to provide engineering and product teams with the security expertise necessary to make confident product decisions. You will be finding security vulnerabilities through manual review, tools you build or 1:1s with other engineers. You will write code to systemically fix security issues across the codebase. You will advise teams on the best way to build something to prevent future security issues.

We're looking for people with backend, web, and mobile experience to join our teams in San Francisco or Seattle.

I mostly don't experience this, with one notable exception. My uni's computer science department administrator has a mailing list for my entire class (~80 students). Whenever she sent out an email blast, it would appear to come from her email address, but for god knows what reason, the Reply-To address was set to the mailing list's address.

So basically every time someone had something they needed to discuss with the dept admin after an email blast went out, they would end up sending their response to the entire CS class. No matter how many times it happened, there would always be that one person who hadn't yet learned not to reply to the email blasts.

- Trial periods
- Varying pricing schemes
- General support

These things are handled differently with SaaS.
Its easier to address with continued income too.
That's also how VC works. Gains are on paper until liquidity.
Having to both pay for it and being forced to host it yourself is the worst of both worlds.
Some positions are only worth so much money. However, if you _know_ you're not paying a fair wage, then this is a bad practice and those employees who leave would do much better for themselves.

One of the things I like best about my industry is that compensation is standardized for people in the first 8-10 years of their careers. At large firms (and government), people get paid based on publicly known scales on a strictly seniority basis. This is bad for people who are good at self promotion (whether or not their is a real basis in that self-promotion), but great for women generally and men who do more than they talk about doing.

I've grown very skeptical about he idea that the "market" will fix discrimination in pay for women. There are a couple of lawsuits happening right now against law firms where female partners are alleging that they were paid a fraction of what men were paid despite bringing in far more business. I suspect that phenomenon is not unique to law firms--just highly visible there because contribution to the firm can be so easily quantified.
Maybe some MTAs now warn if a message is going to be sent to a large number of people? A simple "This message is going to be sent to 15,000 people, are you sure you want to send it?" message would work wonders I bet.
If I'm binding to an IP why do I have to worry about DNS TTL?
Captive portals [0] often return short-lived DNS responses to private IP space until you pay or login, at which point their DNS servers start returning proper responses (and stop intercepting DNS requests). Although not "legit", this is a case which is very common - you wouldn't want your browser to suddenly stop working because you connected to a captive portal that started modifying DNS responses.

> Punishment divided by harm-caused obviously goes to drug users, being infinite.

That defines the harm as being zero. I'm not sure that's the case. Some drugs (angel dust, at a minimum) greatly increase the user's propensity for violence. And the argument for saying "they haven't done anything yet, so arrest them for the violence when they do it" is similar to saying "drunk drivers haven't caused any harm yet, so wait until they cause a crash before you arrest them". The harm to others is (for drunk driving and some drugs) too likely to follow to simply wait for it to occur.
