Disclaimer: I work at flightfox.com.

What I think you’re asking for already exists. You didn’t mention price, which makes a big difference, but price aside, route data is available in both raw and GUI form. Check out flightconnections.com for a GUI tool.

Price is what consumers care about and without a perfectly efficient (or regulated or monopolized) market, there will never be a single source of all prices for all routes. This doesn’t exist for food, clothing or many genuine commodities.

Someone else replied with a link to ITAs white-paper that discusses the difficulty of the problem you’ve described. But, that only considers cash flights; what about fast trains, frequent flier miles, buying and using points, credit card bonuses, best rate guarantees, combining low cost-carriers, charter airlines, cargo flights, consolidator deals, local deals, company benefits, etc.

It’s a huge market that feels like it should be commoditized but is actually quite differentiated with significant barriers to entry.

My personal experience at Flightfox is overseeing the booking of travel for more than 60,000 people using travel websites rather than traditional GDSs (Global Distribution Systems - what travel agencies and online travel agents use). Our team has used most of the websites mentioned here and never relies on just one.

Most coders here could build a simple tool to make their searches much more effective and efficient:

* Accept date/route/class input, like “10SEP DEN-FRA first”
* Open tabs to 5-10 of the best and most varied travel websites
* Skim the results and book

Doing this rather than sticking to a single site will yield much better results and make your search more efficient. The largest OTAs have real proprietary deals, the best of the aggregators search the best search engines, and the best search engines combine the most airlines (even LCCs) in creative ways.

If I had to choose 5 flight websites for such a tool: Kayak, Google, Orbitz, Skyscanner and Momondo.

Given this, you may wonder what’s the point of Flightfox. We started with a pure focus on travel hacks (much more advanced than searching 5 OTAs), but we now do our best work managing travel for businesses. For consumers, we can only use one skill: saving money. For businesses, we can become their entire travel department and put everything we know into practice. Not just saving many $1000s/month, but helping with finance strategy, loyalty programs, upgrades, 24/7 emergency support, super-cheap business/first, etc.
Typically, coffee in Europe isn't the artisanal, single origin stuff one is probably used to on America's west coast. It's a different food. Especially in Italy, where they also traditionally mix in Robusta beans with the Arabica.
You know what is worse? This subsidy isn't going to your top-tier or even mid-tier CS/engineering prof. For those students, education totally pays off. The subsidy is really going to the lowest-tiers of the academic enterprise.

Denver beer scene made a German beer connoisseur realize he didn’t know much
20% of African Americans have credit scores below 620 compared to 5% of non-Hispanic whites. On average, disadvantaged minorities don't do as well on standardized tests, and have worse graduation rates even when they attend the same colleges: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/magazine/who-gets-to-gr....

The US is very deeply invested in the idea that the way to overcome the disadvantages faced by members of certain minorities is education. But those same disadvantages make those students worse credit risks. A credit-based system looking to optimize return wouldn't give these students access to the same educational opportunities.
I would have thought this was obvious but the down votes suggest otherwise. Yes: hesitation to act once you see a gun in the hands of someone who presents him/herself as unstable places your life and (perhaps more relevant to this situation) the lives of your fellow officers in jeopardy. The chief made the tough but ultimately correct call in this case. Once an officer has proven himself incapable of acting with deadly force in a threatening situation, you don't keep him around to endanger the lives of the officers he works with. Civilians can't empathize with the context, but what the officer did, in failing to act, is tantamount to a cardinal sin in police work.
Facebook employees say deleting ‘napalm girl’ photo was a mistake
No there's something really important to see here.

When a cop shoots a suspect, there's often little investigation or transparency. The argument against these things is that cops are putting their lives at risk to do their jobs, and can't do their jobs effectively if they have the public always looking over their shoulder.

But this incident shows that the arguments against investigation and transparency are bankrupt. This officer bravely put his life at risk to do his job. Investigation and transparency show him to be worthy of our respect. It isn't the public looking over his shoulder preventing him from doing his job, it's the aggressively militarized culture of the profession in which he serves.

I'm reminded of the U of C's Aims of Education Address when this discussion comes up.

EG: https://aims.uchicago.edu/node/83

I tend to think that many things that are now in college degree programs are actually things that should be in trade programs - we've turned everything into a degree, and in the process, stopped realizing what the value of a degree is and/or what the purpose of a theory driven/liberal arts education is.

(TL:DR if you don't end up reading the link - to think, to create the ability to teach yourself, to encounter new ideas and figure out which ones are hot air and which ones are not. To learn how to create good new ideas for yourself! To become a better human being and citizen in order to better participate in this world)

If we separated out the trade school aspect, well, it becomes very hard to value an education in the traditional degree/liberal arts sense - and it becomes easier to tell what's the value of that immediate trade school diploma by market forces. In that, then the government could apply a limit on loans to what is very knowable (market forces) and apply some other metric because of the public good gained by aiming towards education in general
Yeah, but think about this points:
a) this report is based on words of the man, that run away from Russia after the Prosecutor's office started an investigation about his actions on RUSADA president position. Charges against him includes selling a restricted drugs. His sister was sent to prison for selling a restricted drugs several year ago, but the investigators wasn't able to find "her dealer".
b) this report is done by Richard Mclaren, who was one of the first people, that started to talk about such awful events is the sport world. So he i not the correct person to investigate such situation.
c) Richard Mclaren and WADA said that the have a solid proves of the accusations in Sochi report, but still they declined to show them anybody including Tomas Bah. I don't support any of conspiracy theories, but this one smells very-very bad.
b) Will the judge of any US court accept similar case with no evidence? If yes, then probably there is no any kind of problems with law in Russia...
Agreed. I keep a server at home, not because I want to but because I have to. The cost of cloud storage and compute, relative to what you can field in your closet, is inordinate. You do pay the premium for not managing it yourself.

Its my hunch that the statement you quote is just simply wrong. If you're keeping a computer at home that is doing something valuable enough to keep it around, it should valuable enough to you that there has to be _some_ price cheap enough, and _some_ capabilities good enough, that the cloud makes sense. The exception to this is, of course, the hobbyists and the tinfoil hatters.

Check the lobby and surrounding area next time you're staying at a big hotel chain. Oftentimes you'll find a plaque that mentions the operating company name. Certainly the case with the Palo alto Sheraton I frequent.

All of this affects the world you live in, the world that you interact with directly every single day.

Whether you agree with the way your government is handling this or not, it all still has everything to do with you.
A credit-based system looking to optimize return would reflect the likelihood of such students actually graduating and getting good jobs.

If the problem is that minority students have difficulty achieving at the level of white students, let's focus on that. I don't think it's very helpful that we saddle these students up with loans but then they don't even end up graduating. Instead of forcing lenders to lend to bad credit risks, let's come up with ways to support minority students so they aren't credit risks. I personally would be happy to invest in minority students studying CS, for example.

And yes, it will be somewhat painful in the short term. We'll have to confront the reality that lending to students with low SAT scores to study esoteric subjects is maybe not a good idea. Perhaps it would even encourage such students to not waste their time and money on bad degrees.

No. I was referring to

"Its rotational energy was spent"

or rephrased

"Tidal forces cause a lot of stress on celestial bodies",
but not with the Earth-Moon system because the Moon's
"rotational energy was spent".

raverbashing's point as I read it was that while tidal forces matter on celestial bodies (i.e. not in the Earth-Moon system) they no longer matter in the Earth-Moon system because the Moon is tidally locked.

I'm not disputing that the Moon is tidally locked, just the consequences in terms of tidal forces. But perhaps the issue (and maybe err) is in confusing rotational energy with orbital energy and the relationship to tidal forces.
> Yes: hesitation to act once you see a gun in the hands of someone who presents him/herself as unstable is a credible threat that places your life and (perhaps more relevant to this situation) the lives of your fellow officers in jeopardy.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. If shooting someone is the only solution you have to a dangerous situation, then you have the emotional maturity of a neanderthal and you are the unstable person with a gun.

> Civilians can't empathize with this context but what the officer did, in failing to act, is tantamount to a cardinal sin in police work.

Like hell civilians can't empathize. Cops don't have the monopoly on dangerous situations.

If this is a cardinal sin in police work, then police work is fundamentally broken.

This is driving me crazy. No proves was provided of almost any (all?) claims against Russia in the last 2-3 years. They just continue saying: "It was Russian", "It was Putin" etc. But where is the proves? Give me then and I'll stop talking about this.

Several years ago I used to support eastern position in all situation in Russia. But after accusation against Russia with no proves started to appear I become quite disappointed in the US...

How are they going to make you buy shiny new iPads otherwise?

Edit: Why the downvote? I still have an iPad mini (1st gen), and I don't get to play with Swift Playground because iOS 10 requires iPad mini 2 or newer. Look, I'm as much an Apple fanboy as the next person: I use a MacBook Pro, I have an iPhone 6s Plus, and my wife will be getting an iPhone 7 Plus, but you can't deny that Apple, just like other companies, build arbitrary obsolescence into their products.
Apple was never really open to other platforms though. I don't think they traded positions then, Microsoft evolved a bit while Apple continues with the same approach.
No actually the logic here is really simple. Any rational system of law enforcement has to operate with extreme prejudice in a threatening situation. The reason is obvious: 9 times you might survive trying to do the right thing and then get shot dead on the tenth. These are often split second decisions made with paltry situational context (you know next to nothing about the person with the gun and how they might behave). If you have a gun and encounter law enforcement and don't IMMEDIATLY rid yourself of it and drop to the ground, what happens next is simply a consequence of statistics.

Statistically, some nonzero percentage of people with a gun are nutjob cop killers. That's the end of the argument right there. There's nothing else to be done because cops aren't trained to gamble on the situation (and keep in mind that cops are dealing with a large sample size, though these look like isolated incidents to us). It's super weird to me that this isn't obvious to people. Maybe armchair theorizing about situations involving guns simply has too much allure.
> Banks only lend for education because it's not dischargeable - there's no penalty for the bank making a 'bad decision' because they'll get their money one way or another.

I was under the impression that only federal student loans were protected from bankruptcy. However, it looks like that changed in 2005 when Congress largely extended this protection to private student loans as well. I still don't quite fully agree with your statement since financial institutions often have a hard time collecting on debt regardless of their legal rights, but you are certainly correct that this encourages financial institutions to take on more risk. Private student loans are performing much better than federal student loans though (11%+ vs 4%+ delinquency rates) so the data implies that they are still practicing somewhat strong underwriting practices. Further, nearly 95% of all private student loans have a cosigner.

Regardless, the private student loan market is very small in comparison to the federally subsidized student loan market. I know it is easy to blame the 'banks,' but in reality this situation has developed largely from societal pressures (college=success), federal and state policies ('cheap' and 'accessible' loans), and unchecked spending at colleges.

Hosting yourself is still way cheaper. But services like S3 do get cheaper. When S3 was released in 2006, it cost $0.150/gb*month. That price underwent a half-dozen or so cuts every couple years to reach its current price of $0.03.

Its actually been that price for about 2.5 years now. With competition from Google, Microsoft, and Backblaze, its possible we could see a push toward even cheaper prices before too long.

As for security, S3 does support SSE at rest with a user-provided encryption key. So you're good to go there.

1. No concrete institutional action is taken. See the lonely drum Yuval Diskin is beating in and out of office. Also, is there anything like Rabin's condemnation of the right-wingers as "Sensible Judaism rejects you?"

2. Citations, please, as to what the "smolanim" are up to.

3. I don't care if it's a "price tag", it's still a difference of degree, not of kind from Arab violence.

4. Doesn't matter. Are they babies? We hear all the time about how Israel is a more morally advanced, "European" country and yet shouldn't be held to higher standards?

5. Sure

6. OK, and what about that wedding party where they were chanting support for Abu Khdeir's killer?

Now to respond to your OTOH:

1. Violence against whom? Themselves as well?
2. Citation. Also, as opposed to in private in a settlement?
3. Again, citations. Also, if you're living under the control of occupation authorities and harassed at checkpoints that isn't a provocation (this doesn't apply if they attack civilians of course)
4. I think the state of Israel and the Jewish people are going to survive a bunch of people talking shit.
5. Ding ding ding ding ding. And you want to rule over these people? When those Catholics lynched the British Army soldiers at the funeral in Northern Ireland for driving in the wrong way down the street, does that mean Britain should have expelled all the Catholics from Belfast?
I can recommend this one: The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon (2009) by David Grann.

"It tells the story of the British explorer Percy Fawcett who, in 1925, disappeared with his son in the Amazon while looking for an ancient lost city. For decades, explorers and scientists have tried to find evidence of his party and the Lost City of Z. Perhaps as many as 100 people perished or disappeared searching for Fawcett over the years. Grann made his own journey into the Amazon, revealing new evidence about how Fawcett died and showing that Z may have really existed right under his feet." [0]

You sound like the perfect candidate for police work since you clearly place a low value on your own life. Asking people to endanger themselves on the off chance a person with a gun isn't going to shoot is nothing short of insane.
The HN convention is that paywalled sites are fine as long as there's a way to bypass the paywall - usually by browsing to it via Google, which is easily accessible from the "Web" link below the title in the post's comments page.

Posts to pages behind impenetrable paywalls get flagged into oblivion.

Why does it happen so often here when anyone submitting can easily find a non-paywalled source with the same information?

Because this usually isn't the case at all. Quality of sources varies considerably, and HN always wants the best one.

Come on, that's so disingenuous. "Punishment," as the word is most commonly used (and defined), implies a harm is being inflicted due to some fault or bad act by the punished.

You can say it's "unfair," or "undeserved," or like you say below, that it "discourages people from making a financially prudent decision". But no one wants to "punish" you -- that would be absurd.

Australian Dingos maybe used to be (semi-)domesticated before they were introduced to Australia, originally having been bred in China, then gone 'wild' between 5000 and 18,000 years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo#Origin_and_genetic_statu...). There is some research into the genome on that page, but AFAIK there is no whole genome assembly yet. You can tame those but wild dingoes are very dangerous animals, as many Australian tourists can tell you.

Zebras, on the other hand, are generally thought to be very hard to domesticate, with only a few successes of taming in the last hundred years, and zero success for domestication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra#Domestication
