After you.

Personally, I just use a "feature phone" and avoid the smartphone game today. I get to make calls, I pay hundreds of pounds less per year, and I only have to charge the battery every few days.

I was just agreeing with another poster that there is a market out there for something beyond that without going to the full smartphone-and-apps, entertainment-device model. I have enough businesses already without starting another one for this, but if anyone did want to, I'd be an interested potential customer, is all I'm saying.
Have you ever considered mapping 'jk' or 'kj' to Esc? This seems to be a somewhat common mapping from what I've seen looking at others' vimrc.
If you create indexes for all the columns used as filters, which is somehow what Elasticsearch does, then PostgreSQL is able to combine them (generating a bitmap for each used index and ANDing them) and you should get decent performance, don't you?
As an agnostic, I wouldn't call them "sad," but it's like Neil deGrasse Tyson said. [0] It's fine to see people interested in golf congregating and talking about it, but it'd be stranger to see a bunch of anti-golfers congregating and talking about how they don't like to play golf.

But they'd still be able to justify their budget by pointing to the fines that they collect.
And don't forget the Costco rotisserie chicken! I don't know what the cost/pound comes out to, but considering all the work that goes into cooking it, it's an unbeatable deal. I think it's well known it's a loss leader for them.

Buy several of those for the week, portion them out as you like. throw away the skin to minimize a bit of the sodium, though I'm sure a bit is also in the meat, so for the truly neurotic this maybe a deal breaker.

But if I were trying to just go for low cost, low maintenance protein with some semblance of taste, this would be the way to go ( for me ).
I didn't know the Turing Test was renamed to Alexa Prize
Interesting post, could be interpreted multiple ways:

- growth in pure/easy SW projects is stalling, need to find new areas

- trying to get away from the "bro" prejudice against SW startups

- YC has found a good way to bring rapid, iterative development techniques to hard/HW projects

Hopefully the third one but probably a combination of all of the above.

It's too bad the avoided accidents due to Autopilot and other driving assist features never get reported.

Is there any research on the ratio of negative news to positive news being reported?
If it's obvious to you, then why did you go off topic about parents' intentions with their kids?

The article is about how having safety nets only for wealthy children leads to a net loss of talent in society. What does "entrepreneurship porn" now have to do with this?
This post is from (2013) [..] The difference was significant (p<0.001)

Just as an FYI, USPS closed and consulted a bunch of distribution centers from 2011 through early 2013. These closures were (according to postal employees I spoke with) the cause of lots of delivery problems. At that time, my business was shipping many hundreds of packages annually domestically and internationally and we would have problems with maybe 2 or 3 every year (which were promptly resolved by the USPS claims process). During the period of around 2012-2013, we were dealing with 3 or 4 delivery problems per month. Things have subsequently improved dramatically.

There may very well have been a discrimination problem (it certainly doesn't seem random and I can imagine a scenario where consolidating a distribution center might allow an employee to have a greater affect at disrupting traffic) but I just want to point out that was an especially problematic time for USPS so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a symptom of another problem.
tl;dr: Only minor injury of the tesla driver, bus occupants are fine. The driver claims he had the hands on the wheel.
The article does not say that. It says that every person was sent two packages.
The thing is we're used to thinking in monads, and used to thinking of certain constructs as equivalent, which ApplicativeDo would break. There's a real tension between being explicit about the performance - in which case many identities no longer hold - and not. I don't know what Haxl itself does, but Fetch (which claims to be a Scala port) is kind of unsatisfactory in that regard.
They ran a closed beta.
AFAIK There are no national union TL (Truckload) Carriers remaining (I believe CF was the last one), the LTL guys (Yellow, Overnite (now UPS) are often, but not always union.

Private fleet is FWIW a very very different ballgame - Walmart is considered by drivers "best in the industry" to work for - you need IIRC 5 years of driving experience before they'll even look at you.

Most TL drivers do not drive a dedicated route, and operate as a 'floating' fleet - even if you're on a dedicated board, while you might be hauling one customers crap - you're still likely to go to different places every time. Though as a non-dedicated driver, working out of the terminal I was out of, I regularly hauled Gatorade to Phoenix, or Coke to Phoenix, or Sports Authority to the Pacific Northwest. An example week for me was leave out of LA with Sports Authority (from Ontario area, CA) head up to Seattle then return with rolled paper out of Tacoma, or Coastal Oregon.

All of this freight was stuff that needed to move faster than the rail could take it, or where the destination was too far from a railhead, or the run was too short for the rail - or where simply, the company had the business from the customer and it could choose to route it via the railyard or via a truck, and it had an idle truck that needed to move to someplace else so it could haul freight from there.

While I do see a labor savings in automated driving - I dont see it as practical for most drivers - the biggest advantage I see is with expedited team drivers - you could replace one member of the team with the automation, and save some labor from the truck. So long as the automation is driving the open road portions especially at night, that could work out as a win win - you still need a driver to fuel the thing, check tires, open the trailer doors, etc - but perhaps the easier portion of the driving could be handled by the computer.
The MBP is nice b/c of the retina screen. Most laptops have crappy screens. In fact, I would go as far as saying that the MBP has the best screen by a decent margin.
I strongly advise anyone to ask one or more security engineers to look at your use-case for anything where the actual security of your system is important.

Until then its best to not think of this as any more secure than an off-the shelf system, for your use-case.

This would require a thorough analysis of the system as implemented. For example, can my adversary intercept the original delivery and send an alternative that always works no matter what PIN is used? Can the adversary really not learn the PIN you've been sent? Does the adversary have zero day exploits against USB drivers for your platform? Can the adversary shoulder-surf your password and steal both the device and key? Is it really not possible to get info by smashing the box, desoldering the RAM and doing cold boot?

And so on - the last one may seem impossible to defend against, but if it matters to the use-case then it must be considered.

Edit to add: I expect most cases will have better luck with computer systems that are more ephemeral (buy second hand laptop or raspberry pi in person, destroy often), or more portable (a secured mobile kept in person and used only for the sensitive task).
Things I Can Help With
Average market return is 7%[0], with a competent money manager and a few years it is virtually inevitable statistically. You can do exactly what you describe, but if you don't have the assets to back it up they won't loan it to you, nor would you be able to make the payments.

Back when the iPad was released, I ran a 6 month experiment to see if I could live as a developer using only the iPad and the cloud. My initial findings were quite positive, and the first few weeks were exciting and new.

As time progressed, task switching and copy/paste were obvious shortcomings due to limitations with iOS, but the experience was mostly bearable but not awful.

Towards the end it became unbearable as the escape key was so engrossed with all things unix/linux that i gave up a month early.

If the escape key is actually vanishing, I am completely confused. macOS is a unix derivative and apple has a boatload of developers. Why would they want to alienate us?
If golf were responsible for as much tragedy as religion, congregations of anti-golfers would make a lot of sense.

There is this quote from a honda engineer that said creating the original 70mpg honda insight was a lot harder than creating their roadster / supercar project.

So yes it is.
> usually big enough to be stored in a TOAST table

Ah, luckily, in my case, that can’t happen – each row’s message contains one IRC message, so at most 512 bytes. That also automatically ensures we’ll never run into TOAST issues.
Yes, in principle. In practice, there would be so much variation in the sensitivities of the detectors that it would be a nightmare to do the image reduction. In normal observing you have to do "flat fielding" every night (or at least every few nights) where you take an image of the sky at twilight so that you can calibrate the different sensitivities of the different pixels in the detector. Then all the pixel scales will be different (i.e., a single pixel on one telescope will correspond to a slightly different area than on another telescope), so you'll have to figure out how to scale all the images to overlay them all. It's just easier to do it all yourself.

My lawyer turned a moving violation into a no seatbelt ticket. This had zero basis in reality. I didn't get points on my licence, but still had to pay a fine.

People without lawyers didn't know that all that's really important is that you pay fines to the court. You're taking the court's time and you have to pay for it.

They tried to deny they sped, the cop said they did, and the ticket stuck.
Yes, in practice the only things that really need "porting" to POWER are low-level compilers, languages, runtimes, tooling, etc. that may have arch-specific code. Sometimes IBM does this (e.g. Google v8 + Node.js), sometimes not... yet? (e.g. rust).
>That's their process of rolling over. They've specifically will at one point stop using the phrase in their monthly meetings, which means the bonds will be left to mature...

That's the theory. I doubt it will ever actually happen, though, since whoever makes that decision will be blamed for any poor economic performance that follows.
Anyone know what kind of backend Pokemon Go is running on? I'm guessing Java or Go?
Definitely speck on the YC video . . . I think accents are cool and you want to show off the whole team . . . be yourself and show off your domain expertise . . . don't even think about your accent, just speak clearly as you would for any recording . . . good luck with YC and your startup!
I still haven't figured out how to run a blog sized web app with Java 8 or python 3 on a Google product that isn't in experimental mode yet.

Where should I start if that's my goal?
I agree with you - and if everyone spoke with this candor I wouldn't have a problem helping.

The problem is that instead of saying what you've said, we try to help AS IF everyone is talented.

Everyone is equally intelligent, hard working, etc. Everyone has equal potential is something ingrained to us as Americans.

Then later, when people make boneheaded decisions etc, we want to fix those mistakes AFTER the fact. That's BS as far as I'm concerned.

If we were just honest and said hey, let's devise ways for helping everyone at different levels (not just levels of money), I could get on board. When we're constantly bombarded with misguided diversity initiatives, bailing out of irresponsible borrowers (be it individual or corporate), and adults who don't know how to interact with law enforcement, it becomes way way harder to get buy.
This is the hardest thing to explain to people about companies like ours. When I say that machine vision systems are comparable to building hardware people can't conceptualize that because they have never really worked with novel CV/ML systems.

I think this post has it right too in that finding a small application of the technology is a good approach to sustaining yourself while you get to a bigger goal. This however adds a magnitude of complexity - which means funding requirements aren't that much smaller. For example you have to build a product while also building the technology - vs just building a product on exiting technologies, which is hard enough itself. It's also a risk because if that one product is not a winner, then it poisons the larger play - even though it might be itself very valuable.

The challenge comes when you have to explain that, no actually this first thing is just the POC for a larger thing we're trying to do - especially when you are building the market for that larger thing.

I think the best path for hard tech companies is to have a lot of money from the start. I know that sounds obvious, but I think it's true specifically for hard tech companies.

Unfortunately that usually means you as a founder are a known entity in the venture world. Whether that means you use your own money from a previous exit (like Musk) or convince someone to fund a lot of it (probably because you had a previous exit and have connections) you need a lot of capital up-front.

So if you are an unknown to the people with cash, with hard tech plans, prepare for a tough time ahead.

I've had a similar experience, although not entirely unexpected. From everything I've gathered, meditation and guided breathing are tools to use to fight anxiety, but are by no means sufficient on their own for many. I've found that daily meditation and guided breathing can sometimes have the opposite effect for me when I'm not struggling as much by bringing me back to an anxious state. At the same time, working through their intro programs has definitely given me some tools and coping strategies that help me when I find my anxiety rising.

Also off-topic a bit, but for me, the single most impactful thing I have found for coping with anxiety is regular strenuous exercise. I'd been told this for years, but it's only recently that I've taken it seriously, and can now feel my anxieties begin to bubble up when I get out of my exercise routine. It's been so impactful that I just always want to make sure I highlight it when discussing anxiety, since it took so much time for it to really sink in for me.
A year without Facebook: three reasons why you can’t avoid it
Permethrine is highly lethal to cold-blooded animals and cats.
Even though I have a full desk setup with keyboard, mouse, I do spend quite a bit traveling for work. Also, its very convenient to occasionally unplug and move into the living room so I can spend time with my family if i need to work late.
I would like to switch from go to rust. But rust's standard library isn't as mature as that of go. Do you think there are compatible crates to packages from go's standard library.

I need

* json/gzip/etc.
* string manipulation
* good unicode support (normalization, etc.)

not much actually.

And one important question: which one do you think is best for large projects? Both were built to deal with difficulties rising from large projects but took two opposite directions...
To clarify, this was not in reference to the lack of metrics in the field, which exist, obviously. Nor was it in reference to the lack of metrics / citations in academic and scientific publications. This was in reference to a lack of specific citations/metric backing up a claim, from a popular publication targeting a mass audience does not necessarily have the subject matter expertise to fill in the data on their own. The information you provide comparing Apple's lack of benchmarking to others would have been useful to have in the article.
And for just a little extra context, Twitter launched the same year as AWS.
I'm really disappointed with Pokemon GO. Despite the issues with the launch I still had a lot of fun playing it initially. But the tracker breaking together with the lack of communication from Niantic killed it for me.

Interestingly, the one time they did decide to communicate was when they announced that they banned a bunch of third parties from accessing their server[1]. Of course, just like in this post, they show a graph with a missing y-axis which tells you very little about the traffic they actually received.

It's surprising that this wasn't mentioned in the Google blog, since according to Niantic it was thanks to this ban that they were able to launch in more regions.

This article completely missed the technique which worked for me - adding a notation to every invoice. I would put (2/10 1/20) which means to accounts payable that I will give a 2% discount if they pay within 10 days, and a 1% discount if they pay within 20 days. After doing that, I consistently got paid quickly (at a discount - so your offerings must be priced to give those discounts.) Every accounts payable department looks for such discounts as a routine part of their job.

Optional JSON output for the compiler error messages is a really cool feature. This could improve web-technology-based Rust development (browsers, Electron apps), giving nice feedback to the editor, which could implement the error message highlighting right there in your code.
Yeah the negativity here is overwhelming. Which, isn't surprising, HN's comment section isn't the cheeriest place on the internet. But seriously, for a tech news aggregator you'd think more of the users would appreciate at least the difficulty of scaling an app from nothing to THE most popular app ever, in a matter of days. Yeah they had/still have issues that they could've mentioned in the article, but it doesn't take away from what they DID do.
I would like to see a study with a comparison with non-religious, ostensibly non-discriminatory words. How about just "Shoes"?

Then compare that to a few other packages. One plain brown cardboard with clear tape and a large, crisp shipping label. I expect that will sail straight through all the automatic sorters.

A few with various words (some, perhaps, more likely to be found offensive than "atheist", some less) on tape in high-contrast black and white. In addition to "Shoes", you could write "Merry Christmas" (in mid-January, of course), "Green", "Cleveland" (note: the box doesn't need to go to Cleveland), "Dildos", "FedEx" (sending the box by USPS, of course), "Kittens", "Kidneys" (the box shouldn't contain kittens or kidneys, just have the word on it).

Then one with a complete coverage of wrapping paper with a variety of words, fonts, barcodes, receipts, invoices, and colors all over the box, and a little smudged shipping label on the bottom of the box. It would be like a Where's Waldo for postal workers: Find the one complete shipping label. See how long that takes to get through!

They are shoes. It's pretty easy to assume how they split a pair into to equally weight & size packages for the test.
You don't use bitcoin because you want to. You use it because you have to. In my country, the government requires that you use bitcoin if you order some things online. Such as heroin, gambling, and software randsoms. I'd rather pay in credit card for these services if I could.
Why is this on HN? Who cares how Americans abuse their poor? Whats that to do with technology?

Have a blog / write up which chronicles your experiment? I always wondered if I, or anyone could do this when i first got my ipad.
> The 2 lines can be thought of as ceilings or upper bounds, hence why they are static

I think this is the disconnect. This wasn't not obvious to me. It looked like everyone was expecting flat growth at either 1X or 5X. If there was a line showing what they thought would be the traffic that goes up (which would be expected) in addition to the ceiling lines then I think there would have been a lot less confusion.

I wonder if a single bar graph would have illustrated it better with overlaying colors for each ceiling.
There's a decrease in traffic from car sharing from what you state, moving from a single individual in a car to several in a car, however the overall capacity of the road remains fixed. If car sharing networks become popular in comparison to public transit, then the amount of cars will increase and this will eventually come in conflict with the physical limits of the road network.
Modula-3 with a concurrent, low-latency GC + static analysis on anything declared unsafe. That's first example that comes to mind. It nicely balanced safety, compilation speed, productivity, and runtime performance. SPIN OS was written in it that leveraged type-safe linking + its safety to pull user add-ons straight into the kernel without crashes. CVSup for FreeBSD was originally done in it as well with development experience so good vs C++ that author didn't want to give it up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modula-3

So, that's my baseline if we're excluding functional programming elements. Maybe that with Design-by-Contract and SCOOP from Eiffel. I'd add borrow checker from Rust for unsafe sections as an option. Past that, you've already knocked out vast majority of issues while retaining rapid development.

If functional programming, I'd start with a PreScheme (C replacement), bring it closer to Racket on static or dynamic side for power, build in safety analysis, and sugar coat it with nice syntax + standard library. Julia language did something similar to that approach with femtolisp at the core. Also easy to read and learn for a language so powerful.

I currently recommend Rust over most C alternatives due to the attributes in its motto plus strong community (most important) around it. The simpler alternatives in this niche got little traction for various reasons that are more social or economic than technical. So, if you're jumping on a wave, might as well pick the one that's safe and fast by default.
I was thinking more in public places where there are other members of the public within a reasonable proximity, but I will grant you a valid point. My general proposal does not need to apply to every situation. Though defining the exact circumstances wherein someone may and may not smoke on public land may not be worth the hassle, and a blanket ban might be preferable to some endlessly complex regulation... something to think about, though. For your own health, please consider putting the cigar down, though :)
Just a hobby. Some people build models, I hunt for infrastructure. It's fun to follow the build-ups as newer sat imagery is available.

For business purposes, I guess it would be interesting to know if the new regions (if they aren't being built from the ground up) would have the same infrastructure quality, environmental quality, connections, etc that you currently have in your own designs.
