Both Airbus and Boeing have extensive lineups, so I don't think it's true to say that they did bet anything at all. This is mostly storytelling on much more boring decisions:

Boeing built the 787 because the A330 had pretty much killed the 767 for passenger airliners, leaving a gap in Boeing's lineup. The 787 is very much an improved A330. Airbus answer to the B787 has never been the A380, though it has certainly been a mess: at first it was the A350, then the A350-XWB [1], and now both the A330NEO and A350-XWB. Note that the A330NEO is in fact not that different from the first proposed A350, though less ambitious.

On the other hand the A340-600 was an unmitigated disaster, grossly overweight and unable to compete against the 777-300ER, leaving Boeing's 777-300ER and 747 without competition. Airbus decided to go all in and to fight Boeing from above, with an even bigger plane with unbeatable efficiency. Had the A380-900 and A380-1000 been built, they would still be unmatched and completely out of reach in terms of efficiency. And very few airlines would have bought them because they would have been way way too big. Boeing answer to the A380 was the 747-8, which like the A380 is dying from lackluster sales.

[1] The first A350 would have competed directly with the 787, but airlines steered Airbus towards making it bigger, making the A350-XWB effectively a competitor to the 777. In doing so it became too big to compete against smaller 787, so Airbus eventually decided to re-engine the A330. In terms of size the line up is (very roughly, with overlap): 767 < A330 < 787 < A350 < 777 < 747 < A380.
My parents fancy phone had an intercom in the early 2000s and god it was handy. I truly miss this but not enough to justify setting up a house phone.
Good lord, I'd hate to live in your world.
I'm so used to Café Bustelo from a moka pot that I find almost all coffee-shop espresso to be unpleasantly light. I actually pack the grounds extra tight and use lower heat to make sure I get an even darker and richer brew.
Not quite, there are two forces at work. Competitive reproductive advantage and levelling drift. First requires experiment, the other counters it.

I still laugh about this sometimes.
Wait, why isn't it possible? Isn't one of the features of the new Dot that it can recognize which room you are in and only respond with the one in that room? Even if it doesn't work as an intercom, something as simple as "Alexa, tell my wife in room X it's dinner time", then it just records it and plays it like a voicemail up there would be great.

I grew up in Puné and almost all restaurants served stuff like paneer tikka masala. That's what going out to eat was for us. At home we had home cooked Maharashtrian food. In the restaurants we had "North Indian" fancy dishes lol which were almost never made at home (So I've never had daal in restaurants). I see it the same way here. A North Indian may view it differently.
Picking Palo Alto is some extreme cherry-picking there. I assume the way an investor in 1956 would have known to buy there is the proximity of Stanford. What type of return would you get if you did the same thing in Berkeley or near USC in Los Angeles?
Actually SC1 is the defacto choice when talking about StarCraft esports and the best choice since the best SC players have been honing their skills on SC1 for a long time (see South Korea SC1 esports scene).

I wonder why the author wholesale ruled out apartments when homes like the one you linked to are all together very similar in living space.

On a side note the Bay areas' affordability problem could be greatly reduced if more dense housing stock was pursued. Sadly, I fear too many of us demand living in houses as an unassailable demand.

An acquaintance of mine made quite a bit of money running a "compound pharmacy" for a few years. With his pharmaceutical degree, he was licensed to "compound" common combinations of prescription medication into a single dose. Insurance companies would consider the combination a separate drug (i.e. not just the sum of its parts). Therefore each new combination he made was a "new" drug and he was, quite literally, able to name any price. The insurance company would then pay for it.

He had a nice operation going, even shipping to multiple states. He eventually shut down the business when regulation tightened after a few compound pharmacy scares.

Free to play won't be around long imo. Since Spotify first launched for me in 2009 the free offering has got progressively worse. The second the labels can drop freemium they will and I don't think we're too far away from that.
Right, but I don't see how top level await makes the current situation any worse. Web developers already have to think about the order of script loading and execution.

This is an absolutely incorrect assertion: drug discovery is but one part of the drug development process. You're ignoring (among other things) the work in medicinal chemistry, retrosynthesis, and scale up/chemical engineering that go into creating a drug. The compound at the end of the development process rarely looks like the one identified in initial screening, and the work done to manufacture it and bring it to market unquestionably count as inventive.
I know it's easy for me to be an armchair quarterback but I have to say it. Although I am currently and somewhat reluctantly paying for it (for now), Spotify's UI makes me want to strangle someone every time I use it. I can never remember exactly what ridiculous combinatoric puzzle of screens I need to cycle through in order to get where I want to go. It feels like I'm trying to enter a fucking launch code for a nuclear submarine just to play a damn song. God forbid I'm running and hit the wrong screen, then I have to stop, fiddle for 3 minutes, and start again.

Also the stations are incredibly shallow. If you pick a station on Pandora, you will have hundreds of songs that are generally well selected in my experience. If you pick one on Spotify, you get maybe 20-30 songs.

The one major benefit to Spotify is that you can pick any song you want. However, if you pick a genre, you're likely to be inundated with shitty cover bands that you have to painfully sift through in order to find the actual playlist your looking for, because '70's hits' could be anything from Led Zepplin to your next door neighbours cover band.

TLDR - incredibly over complicated UI, shallow stations, too much spam music.
I agree, of course. However, insinuating that such an announcement, and choice of cloud partnership, is dictated heavily by preferential pricing diminishes both customer's decision making and provider's intrinsic abilities. It's the not so subtle cloud "ad hominem" these days.

Lawn Love (YC S14) Is Looking for a Senior Software Engineer in San Diego
Hi there!

We're Lawn Love, a new type of lawn care service. We are bringing software, data, and operational rigor to the very large and largely low-tech lawn care market. We solve two main things:

For consumers: We are building a modern, seamless lawn care experience. Quoting is algorithmic and takes <2 minutes. Payments, invoices, and scheduling are brought online, and you can manage everything from your phone or web browser. Provider ratings, reviews, and quant/qualitative analysis ensure that you're getting a great lawn pro, each and every time.

For lawn pros: We bring a pipeline of demand straight to their door. We also handle the customer service, accounting, and payments, allowing them to spend less time on the meta-work and more time in the field. Finally, we use job clustering and routing algos to help them build much denser routes, which both boosts their earning potential and slashes fuel expenses and idle time.

I think the capsule machines produce a passable (OK) espresso that is consistent, you might have gotten a dud or perhaps you're more sensitive to the differences.

The biggest problem with those things (if you even like their coffee/crema) is that capsule costs add up quickly. 2 people x 2 shots per day... by the end of the year you might as well have bought a real machine and that only gets more compelling the longer you use it. 2 years of that and you might as well have bought a top-of-line-prosumer-does-everything-even-grind-and-steam machine.

The other issue is the beans. Once roasted, beans really need to be ground and used within 4-6 weeks max (even if they're in a sealed bag). The capsules are sealed (probably in nitrogen), but I don't trust that capsules will ever be at the same starting point as freshly roasted beans ground immediately before extraction.

Capsules are a good solution for offices where a real espresso machine would be nightmare of maintenance.
Not enforcing vaccinations leads to loss of herd immunity [0] which means that you (and any children you may have) are more likely to catch whooping cough, typhoid, etc etc.

Therefore by your logic, you should be for mandatory vaccinations. This is a valid and consistent opinion for a libertarian to hold.

Are ambassador positions supposed to be sold off like this? Looks like Obama wasn't the messiah people hoped he was. Hmm.
Morals aside, startups are after typical behavior. When you do analytics, you normally want to discover things something between 5% to 90% of your users. Most companies even have problem for getting into that 5% limit because it is too small.

Terrorists are a few hundred, spread through the billions of people. Or, on the same kind of numbers, around 0.0000001% of the people the NSA spies on.
The comments on this thread strike me as an unusually good portrait of the HN community. This is who we are, how we spend our time, how much diversity in these viewpoints we contain.
Can't tell if you're joking or not. But just in case you're not...

Osama Bin Laden was killed in May 2011. Snowden handed the NSA documents to journalists in May 2013. Needless to say, Bin Laden never saw the Snowden disclosures.

Snowden did not release the diplomatic cables. That was Manning via Wikileaks, and that happened in November 2010. Snowden didn't even dump his documents, he gave them to journalists.

Many good things have come from the Snowden disclosures, among them a much increased awareness of our digital privacy, and important conversations around privacy vs. security in the new century. But if you need concrete examples, the disclosures have also led to reforms like the USA Freedom Act.

If you're serious, please, go die somewhere. If you're trolling, I think you bit off too much here. The density of misinformation, while impressive in its own way, is too much to be believable.

What cave do you live in where you have to legalize heroin to do that? Please visit the link I posted before your comment.

You do not have to legalize heroin to supply clean needles, clean rooms and not prosecute junkies. You can do all that, still keep it illegal to sell and hunt down the dealers.
Sigh. Continued belief in debunked conspiracy theories is one of humanities worst traits. The moon landing was real, the earth is not flat, and Google is not manipulating search results.
Though, given how... interesting the reliability is on dryers and especially single-drum washer-dryers, it's probably best not to leave them on while you're out if you want your house to be there when you get back.
In general I would agree; a violent punishment (assuming you can manage one) generally does the trick for putting off physical bullies. However, they have workarounds, such as entirely replacing physical assaults with taunting, vandalism or theft (e.g. stealing books or puncturing bicycle tyres).

Teachers never notice vandalism or theft of pupils' property and since there's never any evidence they're not interested. If the victim responds to abuse with their fists then it can be reported to the teacher, who will believe the instigator of the verbal abuse. The abuser will have friends who will report that they heard nothing and the unprovoked attack caught them by surprise.

I wonder whether school children use smartphone apps to gather evidence these days (I left school before even mobile phones were common) and how teachers respond.
Even if it's 0% interest across 5 years, it's still forty thousand dollars. Whether you pay it all at once, or in dribs and drabs each month, you are paying more than you can reasonably afford.

If I am elected president, I will pardon every criminal on the planet, on the condition they seek rehabilitation in community centers. I will also unconstitutionally use my executive powers to close all prisons, dictate human rights-based technology to be made, and end executive power for all time.
That's not what you said. We could further litigate your revised summary of what happens to NSA whistleblowers, and I'd be happy to do so, but first I'd like to know that we're not just playing Calvinball.

Oh, so you don't understand the most fundamental bits of science at play in the vaccination debate. Why am I not surprised. I recommend you Google "vaccines herd immunity".

Children have already fallen gravely ill in some places in CA because of the stupidity enabled by this "libertarian" mindset.
A way for investors to invest in real estate while _lowering_ the overall home ownership rate? A way for short-sighted home buyers to trade a portion of their equity for an extra bedroom and a pool? A way for corporations to reap the main benefit of owning real property while ducking almost all of the responsibility?

This seems both horrifying and inexorable.
The underlying renderer targets DOM Nodes. I'm not sure if I would say DOM Nodes === HTML or not. I think of HTML as the thing I write in .html files. but whatever, mostly semantics here.

I would disagree that debugger.html was written using modern web technologies. It was written using one web technology but rejects many others, like html written in html, the `<template>` tag, web components, etc.
My experience of Google Play Music is that it works well when it works. But something it really likes doing is not playing. Our running joke is that every time a butterfly flaps its wings anywhere in the world, Play stops playing. While hyperbole it does happen a lot, especially if there is less than perfect networking (eg while driving). But it will also stop playing with perfect networking, usually at the end of a song for no good reason.

Spotify is far better at actually playing under the same conditions. If anything it is too eager (there was that time I had to tell it to stop 4 times). However it is a huge pain if you want it to just play music without having to babysit what it plays.
>> "In fact, the unfavorable licensing terms"

According to the source you posted Spotify has been given favourable license terms since it started whereas competitors like rdio have had to pay more and have since went bust.
I've had the same experience.

Agreed, signs would be simpler and a preferable user experience. But then you have to get every restaurant to produce/keep them or carry your own. Still you're right about the app being a bit of a pain.
I'm not sure on this but isn't the election within November? The count down showcased on the site is counting from 127days. Putting the end date at January 19, 2017. I'm wondering what Obama can/could do post election? I'm not from the US for please for give any ignorance.
Sounds like a problem that would lend itself well to machine learning
You're moving the goalposts. The original comment you wrote, which I responded to, suggested that whistleblowers were routinely convicted of other crimes as retaliation. That's a point I'm interested in litigating. The fuzzier point is less interesting to me.

Drug prices are so high because people will almost always pay anything to stay alive.

What I find interesting is people think they have some sort of right to someone else keeping them alive. Do you really ?

To me as harsh as it sounds its reverse greed. I want to live therefore other people should be forced to produce a good for a cost I want/can afford.

Its a harsh truth that is the real issue but the vast majority will never say it or talk about it. They just want to live.
That's incredible.

Yep. I have the ability to have most of my bills automatically deducted but I don't trust those institutes enough to allow them to do it. If one of them bills me for an incorrect amount, which happens more often than it should, it could cause me to overdraft or not be able to pay my other bills.

It still takes me about 30 minutes at most to electronically pay every bill that will take it and balance my account.
But you could have two of them in the same area.
Rewrites are a bad idea in software, where the code has no cost, and are an even worse idea in physical projects. Starting with a a slightly flawed design is much, much closer to a working weapon than starting from scratch.

It would be incredibly naïve for the victim to assume their stolen plans are perfect and perfectly implemented. They would run the test, it doesn't work quite right, they fix the flaws, and they're now far ahead of where they would have been.

Cargo space in a small car is the reason the first generation Scion xB is one of my favorite cars of all time. In a car the size of a Honda Fit, with the back seats down there is more cargo room than a Chevrolet Suburban, and since the roof is completely flat you can mount a massive, 22 cubic foot cargo box on top. The only issue was a weak engine, which a supercharger kit easily fixes. Too bad Toyota axed it and replaced it with a larger (and yet less roomy) car.
There's important contextual information here. If I ask Alexa to tell me when the oven is preheated the next beep is probably going to be the oven.

If she's wrong it's not the end of the world. You don't need 100% accuracy for the solution to be useful. In fact you probably need to attend to whatever else was beeping anyways.
I'm fortunate enough to have access to people who stopped working. All do not need to work for income. Often, after working years, they perish quickly.

Others spend their days in front of tv. This saddens me. Imagine telling the young intern that after you sell your practice you spend your days watching tv. Day in day out.

Or the widow who is always on her couch.

Or the well off retired exec trying to figure out how to spend years and years of days ahead of him.

It's a misconception that StarCraft is a strategy game. If you look at how it's actually played by human pros, it looks closer to a fighting game; very reflex-driven & heavy on micro-interactions. You would expect an un-gated AI with effectively infinite actions per second to do very well.
