There's plenty of money being made in flights but it requires serious volume. Hipmunk were never able to take enough traffic away from kayak, skyscanner etc. as their only real differentiation (agony search) wasn't a big enough pull (other than for a sub section of business flyers who didn't have a travel implant to outsource the leg work to).

They also didn't put any serious energy in to markets outside the US (much less brand awareness in Europe) and were late to monetise supplementary channels like hotels and car hire.

Regardless, it's true that flight search is a tough game. Big incumbents, tight margins, crazy web of legacy madness behind the scenes (tech and business side).
It's a driver assistance feature, meant to be roughly on par with Tesla's Autopilot. There are no regulatory hurdles to clear here, as the tens of thousands of Teslas on the road can attest. Certainly there are huge regulatory and liability issues to address before full autonomy, but that's not what this is about.
That's in part because the dead ones and the dump-ware are migrated by Apache to the "attic."

We don't have any blog posts about it, but the company my friend's and I started got into YC with 0 connections and we're pretty much all from the midwest USA. No one took a risk on us until YC, every penny the company had came from 2 of the cofounders' pockets. While we're not out of the woods yet, there is no way we would still be at it w/o YC.

Google Buzz is Brilliant (2010)
I posted this to Product Hunt today. Even for that typically positive community, the response was so awesome.
Flights.google appears to have the same problem as the rest:

* Awful, text list of flights. I want a way to visualize the options, to wisely choose from many options.

* Subset of the airlines. Google still has Delta at least, which has disappeared from Hipmunk and some others. But no Southwest.
Welcome to HFT.
For some reasons to use DNS (e.g. service discovery) the latency associated with a blockchain would be prohibitive. Generally, I think it's an excellent application.
That doesn't seem to be case from the article. It seems like they were not selected from the first generation of foxes to be domesticated, and for each subsequent generations, the non-friendly ones were simply sold as fox pelts.
>Interesting post, but I did want to chime in quickly and say that it's pretty absurd to only have 1GB for a web application in 2016

That really depends on a lot of things. For a simple web app with a couple of users, 1GB should be overkill.
I took out loans for college. After a few years out working, I've just about paid them off. 4 months to go and I'm finished.

Even though I worked hard to pay back everything with interest, I still wouldn't wish the experience on anybody. I don't understand how funding other people's education is somehow a "punishment" to me.
I did see that part. However it's still being an 'early adopter'.

10 or 20 years later the risk you take has been dampened because people have had Fox pets for complete life-cycles which means more of the caveats of ownership are known. And the breeding location has had even more time to breed out undesirable behavior.

A win-win of sorts as a consumer. Of course with the caveat being that the place could go out of business because of a lack of buyers.

You did mention that they are Reportedly pretty good pets, do you have a source on that? I would enjoy reading more on the subject.
We want to play nice with established tools and give people the option to use them.

We have:

1. Extensive JIRA integration (and we're working on improving this) https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/project_services/jira.html

2. Jenkins support https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jenkins.html via our commit status API https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html

3. Slack integration https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/proj... and we're working on a Slack bot https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20799

We realize that we should allow other tools to integrate well and want to open up as much as we can via API's.

Danger recently moved their site over (https://gitlab.com/danger-systems/danger.systems, https://danger.systems/) if you want another example.

We have a bunch of working example sites in a bunch of different static site generators at the "pages" group: https://gitlab.com/groups/pages

Jekyll, Middleman, Pelican, Metalsmith, Octopress, Nanoc, etc. etc. All working examples. We also have gitlab-ci.yml templates if you create the YML file via the web editor, so for many of these you can get a simple site deploying pretty quick.

And if you want a bit more guidance we have a series of blog posts on static sites & GitLab Pages: https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/03/ssg-overview-gitlab-page...

Personally I'd recommend Jekyll, but it really depends on what languages you're comfortable in :)

(Shout-out to Marcia, Axil, Kamilt, and others for helping build out Pages and these examples over the last while, really awesome resources!)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin%27s_lost_expedition#L...:

"Over the next 150 years, other expeditions, explorers, and scientists would piece together what happened next. Franklin's men wintered in 1845–46 on Beechey Island, where three crew members died and were buried. Terror and Erebus became trapped in ice off King William Island in September 1846 and never sailed again. According to a note dated 25 April 1848, and left on the island by Fitzjames and Crozier, Franklin had died on 11 June 1847; the crew had wintered on King William Island in 1846–47 and 1847–48, and the remaining crew had planned to begin walking on 26 April 1848 toward the Back River on the Canadian mainland. Nine officers and fifteen men had already died; the rest would die along the way, most on the island and another 30 or 40 on the northern coast of the mainland, hundreds of miles from the nearest outpost of Western civilization."

So, the location were the ships were abandoned was roughly known.
I think they're asking for a lot of the same trouble they've already had with government regulations, only this time they're without the "it's just people renting out their own spare room" defense.

The incentive is to sell to people like me!

* In a second-tier city - no single airline has good options, but by comparing all of them I can usually find a only-mildly-lousy flight.

* Not especially price sensitive, I usually pay up to 2x the cheapest possible fare, to get a better schedule, seats, etc.
There are a few things that the government could do to help, without blanket loan forgiveness:

1. Allow people to pay off their loans with pre-tax dollars, just like 401k investments.

2. Cap interest rates. The high rates are a big problem for people with large balances. The interest rates are a little lower now than the used to be -- 6.8% was standard for Federal loans for many years, and private loans are even higher.

3. Limit the amount that can be borrowed in the first place. Colleges have been raising tuition because they know students will be able to get the money. Apparently there are already limits, but I know people with over $100k in debt for a bachelor's degree, so clearly the limits aren't low enough. Limit what students will borrow, and you limit what they can pay -- tuition increases will become a lot harder to justify.

4. Make it easier to discharge loans in bankruptcy. This will also reduce lending, which is actually a good thing.

How many crashes can be summed up as "the driver didn't break when they should"? The system doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be better than the human. And actually, it doesn't even have to be better than the human: only the combination of the system and the human needs to be better than just the human alone.
This comic is just that, a comic. It doesn't take in to account any modern computational considerations. Ignoring the fact that people are still picking these words from their limited vocabulary and likely basing it on their own experiences...

Almost any computer can guess astronomically more than 1k/s.

TFS is such a bad product that most teams at Microsoft don't use it.

You use XAML to configure builds.

The source control system still uses a locking workflow.

The issue tracker managed to be under powered and over complex at the same time.

Yelp isn’t responsible for businesses burned by users’ bad reviews, court rules
Really weak article with a sensationalist headline. Very reductionist to say Apple is "over", and the analogy to Microsoft as "unsexy" might be apt, but ironically Microsoft is having a great technological resurgence and has seen rock solid 5 year growth in their stock.

Not to mention that Apple has so much cash in their coffers that they can afford to fail and figure things out for a while. Give them a damn second. There are so many interesting, high-investment bets that these tech giants are making, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they pay off. Self-driving cars, drone technology, AR, VR, ... Who cares about iPhone sales.

> But without Steve Jobs, I can’t see Apple pushing the boundaries of these industries and unlocking their true potential

It's unreal to me how people associate so much of Apple's success and ability to "Steve Jobs". The image of one guy rolling up his sleeves and pushing out all of the successful products and ideas alone is ridiculous. He had help. Apple is fine without him.

And the notion that a company just "peaks" once and it's done is also a complete fallacy. Their trajectory can be full of peaks and dips -- in fact many people would have said years ago that Apple had already peaked, and it was on its way into the dumpster.

Building an expensive HQ, comparing that to banks, what the heck does that have to do with anything ? None of these things are predictors for success or failure. Even if Apple's trajectory was directly in line with a similar company that had once existed and then failed, that means absolutely nothing to predict the future of Apple. You just can't. In my view it shows poor judgement on the author's part to even try and make a call like that, you'd have to be insane to think you had that kind of predicting power.

Apple can live or die for all I care but I think it's a huge leap to say they're "over" at this point...

Microsoft did with TFS. That was enough to convince me it's a terrible idea.

Dunno why you're being downvoted for this. It makes a lot of sense, but is practically useless since fewer employers will care.

To your comments on illegal settlements. Yes, there is plenty of support for them. In fact, most of the supporters contend that they are not illegal.

There's a very big difference between supporting the settlements right to exist and supporting extremist violence coming from the settlements. Settler violence is very different than Arab violence. Please bear in mind that what follows is true most of the time, and I'll address a few of the exceptions. They key difference - and this holds for all cases of extremist violence - is that it is thoroughly condemned by the full spectrum of Israelis (except for other violent extremists, although depending on how heinous it was, some of the tamer elements would condemn it as well). It is something that is taken seriously by Israel, especially if it leads to a loss of life, because Israelis care about life. It can even lead to violent crackdowns against settlers (which very often turn into witch hunts that violate due process and humanitarian rights, but the Left is quiet about that - see the dubious detention of Meir Ettinger).

1. Settler violence is condemned by the Israeli public and government - from the Right to the Left
2. Settler violence is proven to have been staged by the Left or Arabs
3. Settler violence is reactionary / provoked (price tags and harrassment by leftist groups and/or Arab neighbors)
4. Settler violence is an anger outlet vs an outright desire to maim/kill and as such rarely leads to bodily harm / death
5. Reported Settler violence is often referring to an instance of an Israeli Settler injuring/killing an Arab as the Arab was infiltrating a settlement or attacking Israelis (reported by B'Tselem a far left HR organization who has since amended their page showing this - http://www.btselem.org/english/Statistics/Casualties_Data.as...)
6. Settler violence committed by a mentally unstable assailant (Abu Khdeir killing)

As I noted, there are exceptions to the above (Goldstein, etc...), but most follow the above points, and rarely end in injury or death for Arabs, as the violence tends to be rioting and property destruction.

OTOH:

1. Arab violence is rarely condemned by the Arab public and government - most rejoice, and the more serious the attack the more they rejoice
2. Arab violence is often committed in public or has direct evidence of its occurrence
3. Arab violence is often out of the blue (not in retaliation for a specific personal attack or provocation)
4. Arab violence is often expressed as a desire to murder innocent Israelis and Westerners and to bring about the destruction of Israel

#5 doesn't really have a corresponding bullet, because most Israeli's entering an Arab settlement do so by mistake. Doesn't stop the population from trying to lynch them (I've heard multiple first-hand accounts of this, including from relatives and schoolmates).

I'm sure there are mentally unstable Arab assailants, but I don't know percentages.

Serial consoles don't help if the box is properly wedged, or has eaten its own bootloader. With a good out of band management system, you can install an OS remotely, with disks on the session driving it appearing as local disks to the machine. Or, you can power off a box as needed, power it on, reconfigure raid cards, etc. A remote serial console is very limited in comparison.
That's the problem with federated systems: we (users) have to rely on the promises and whims of our system operators to have access.

It doesn't need a conspiracy - macroeconomic forces and demographics are more than enough. On a societal and generational scale, it's basically impossible to make things now and have them be valuable in the future. Roads crumble, machines break down, inventions become obsolete, and in general what you did thirty years ago is of no particular value today. The one small exception to this is deciding to pump oil out of the ground later instead of today.

So if saving real goods and services doesn't work, what does? You can make things now, and sell them to people for dollars or some equivalent promise of future goods and services. Then you can later redeem these for the stuff you need later.

Oh, and did I mention the generational stuff? Small family sizes and aging Baby Boomers means that there's huge pressure to turn today's resources into promises to give people stuff later. Hence, debt.

I'd actually prefer if a conspiracy was responsible for this. Economic forces make a lot more people work a lot harder to push back against changes. Price controls are a great case in point for this.

I don't look at GitHub profiles unless a candidate specifically mentions something they are proud of. In that case, I scan the project they are proud of with the most charitable outlook I can.

Most of the best developers I know either have no GitHub profile or have profiles that are full of noodling that is not indicative of their output.

One evening in early 2008, I got the opportunity to meet Michael at an Austin hotel during SXSW. I pitched him on the idea for Airbnb, and he took us under his wing. For the rest of the year, we would visit his office every Friday night for hours on end. Each session, Joe and I would demo our latest site and report on our progress. Michael taught me about fundraising, product growth, and building the basics of a startup culture. He kept reminding us to take just a few more steps. If we had known just how many steps there were, we may have been discouraged, but Michael always made progress feel within reach. The most important thing Michael did was believe in us. Had it not been for Michael, there might not be an Airbnb today.
The team could transition to Keep, maybe.
My sincere condolences to all the option holding employees of Hipmunk who will not likely get back what they gave up in salary (due to liquidation preferences and the like, they will be lucky if they get anything, other than golden handcuffs.)

20 years and no equity has taught me that next time I do a start up, I want restricted stock, not options, with an exercise price of $0.01. Or founder stock. In fact, I think the only way to do a startup is a founder (unless you're just starting out.)
I guess you didn't watch the video. He goes out of his way to trash talk every big player in the industry. It's entertaining, informative, and cringeworthy.

You must have gone to college before 1990.

The price of tuition practically /skyrocketed/ after it become impossible to discharge student loan debts.

Worse we've had two recent 'recession' periods and had insufficient recovery since then. It is extremely difficult for those entering the workforce to find entry-level jobs, and the competition for those seeking part time jobs means anyone going to college is automatically 'overqualified' (source, my own personal experience; over a decade ago, and I DOUBT it's gotten any better since!)

This chart shows part of the story:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_tuition_in_the_United_...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:InflationTuitionMedicalGe...

"... All rates are computed relative to 1978. [51]

Cost of living increased roughly 3.25-fold during this time; medical costs inflated roughly 6-fold; but college tuition and fees inflation approached 10-fold. Another way to say this is that whereas medical costs inflated at twice the rate of cost-of-living, college tuition and fees inflated at four times the rate of cost-of-living inflation. Thus, even after controlling for the effects of general inflation, 2008 college tuition and fees posed three times the burden as in 1978."
