Most of the people would probably use the same service time and same location.

But, even before that offer the customer a free service time with new contractor for canceling. if in a competitive situation offer to match prices just need a quote. if it starts to look kind "fishy" flag the contractor.

Also, try to filter out dishonest contractors. In the cleaning situation do you want someone coming to your place that's willing to steal from the place they work?
Yeah, it'd be too much of a risk to let the "secret sauce" go anywhere out of their control.
What will improve the medical industry in the US dramatically is transparent pricing.

When both consumers and providers have no idea how much the product or service they are using actually costs, there is no way to control costs (ie competition, delaying the service, using an alternative product/service, etc). Thus our prices have spiraled out of control.

For example, delivering a baby is an incredibly common procedure, known months in advance, but with opaque pricing paid by third parties, there is no incentive to price shop, nor is that straightforward for a consumer to do. The current average price of a routine delivery is over $8k [1].

I probably should have added more comment, but the point is the "Calorie is a calorie" argument as applied to diet was pretty thoroughly debunked over decade ago. Calorie counting is a poor predictor of weight, while source of calories is a much stronger predictor. However, plenty of other people have commenting with more detailed explanations as to why, so I won't go on.

Silicon Valley Hedge Fund Takes on Wall Street with AI Trader
Cows have a protein in their white blood cells helps to make nitric oxide (a molecule very toxic to bacteria, including tuberculosis). It has been shown in other instances that if you have more of the protein (NRAMP1), then you tend to be more resistant to tuberculosis, and less of the protein, then you are less resistant to a tuberculosis infection. The protein itself is a transmembrane iron transporter. It just shuffles iron from one side of the membrane to another.

Cows already have the dna that encodes for NRAMP1, but in order to demonstrate their prowess with CRISPR technology, this group found a dormant location in the cow's genome in order to insert DNA that encodes a second copy of the same protein. The expectation being that by having a duplicate copy of the DNA that encodes for the NRAMP1 protein, more of the protein would be produced, and the cows would be less susceptible to tuberculosis. This seems to have been the case.

So here, adding DNA encoding a protein that already existed in the cow's genome allowed more of the protein (NRAMP1 - an iron transport machine) to be produced, thus conferring some tuberculosis resistance by means of allowing the cows white blood cells to produce nitric oxide more efficiently.
> That only ensures that flying cars will always be more expensive than ground cars, not that per capita income will always be too low to have mass adoption of flying cars.

True, but the economics of energy/housing/transit indicate that there never will be mass adoption if it's also the more expensive option.

The Leap Week: Did Apple Really Have a Record Quarter?
There's a flying car company, Terrafugia (1), that came out of MIT ten years ago and they have working prototypes. There's an old YouTube video here (2) and apparently they have "persuaded the FAA to grant Terrafugia a waiver of weight and stall-speed limits so it can self-certify its Transition flying car as a light sport aircraft" (3).

Not sure of the safety implications or the commercial viability of flying cars for Uber, but there are people out there who want to be able to own or fly an aircraft and not have to deal with various hassles that come with traditional aircraft ownership.

You wouldn't be happy if somebody gave you a virtual high five for your work when you were early career?
But it's not that simple -- "eating at a caloric deficit" isn't a constant thing. You can eat less, but your metabolism might drop even further, so eating less calories can lead to weight gain, or a loss of muscle mass that is more than made up for by a gain in fat. And plenty of research shows that exercise is, for most people, counterproductive for weight loss because they wind up eating afterwards than the calories they burn. Yes, exercise leads to general better health, but that's a very different goal from losing weight.
Cutting off people who win too much seems fair; charging them with a crime does not. Correctly estimating when the odds are more favorable doesn't seem like cheating to me.

It's more typical of indian/riverboat casinos to ratchet up their house edge. vegas you're more likely to see 99% payback machines (of course it varies). They'll do other things to make up for it though, like having fewer $5 blackjack tables and more $25 minimum tables.

vegas can afford to turn their hold percentage much lower because millions of people go there every year and there's competition. Versus a lone indian casino in california's central valley.

Trade deficits aren't subsidies. All it means is that there's a greater volume of home-currency-denominated investment in the "deficit" country than there are home-currency-denominated exports. So, in the case of the US, there's a net positive capital inflow - dollar-denominated investment. Dollar payments balance, as they must: https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ahpWrFO8WFM/TZkyZmhwGLI/AAAAAAAAP...

Trade deficits are a meaningless thing to worry about. They're not actual deficits of any kind, and they don't even accurately measure trade, since they generally don't include services or the chains of value-adding.
Fair point, but it's also fair to note that Perl 6 development began 17 years ago.
> a senior engineer at Google could have implemented this compression and it would still be HN worthy,

No, I doubt it would be. How many of the hundreds of little features in the google play store have been posted on HN with an article about the person who implemented them?

Also, I find it more than a little presumptuous of you to assume that any scoffing is due to sexism. I see the exact same cynicism and lack of awe in the posts below that I have come to expect from HN - regardless of gender or color of the person involved.
The way I originally meant the "unavoidable", (in response to a comment that there's unsafe code in the Rust compiler), is that in some cases, you'll always need unsafe, since some operations are inherently unsafe, (like writing bytes directly to hardware). This due to the nature of computers, the lower level the code gets, the more likely it is that some unsafe will be needed, not because of any fault of Rust, but because of the nature of computer hardware.

Therefore I meant it as in; since a compiler is relatively low-level project, some unsafe code is (most likely) unavoidable, due to the task at hand.

The other poster seemed to take the unavoidable comment to mean something wider than what I was talking about.
Could you elaborate what the big European picture is (with stats or arguments that you do find reliable)?

As it is, I'm skeptical. I've spent about half my life living outside of 'Western Europe' and much of the other half in Holland. My experience at least fits the statistics: Holland is one of the safest places I've ever lived, and I usually lived (and spent a chunk of my leisure time) in the 'bad parts of town'.

With a few tiny exceptions, there are very few areas I can think of that I would avoid at night at all cost, for example. I'd go anywhere in Amsterdam at any time of the night, including the bad parts. And many of my female friends, who I'd say more at risk in general, would say the same.
It's just not that simple, and that's the issue. And this kind of over-simplification can lead to a lot of victim blaming.

The role of sugar (especially fructose) and carbohydrate intake in obesity is very important, and there's far more to it than that.

I think it'd be a lot more challenging for someone to be obese with the same caloric amount of avocados than cheetos, for example.
This is exactly the policy the US seeks to now reverse (absorbing over-capacity) and which planned reversal China meets with threats of war. It wasn't charity as you well understand. The US exported its inefficient industries initially for the unfulfilled expectation of access to much greater markets for its efficient industries.
It's easy for people (especially people who like tech) to forget this. "Innovation" in the sense of better algorithms or improved computations are great, but they don't solve problems - applications do.

That's why many 'hot' areas (like machine learning, for example) have a large gap between industry and academia. Researchers focus on "innovation" in terms of new approaches, aiming for marginally higher performance, and requiring increasingly complex models/infrastructure to unlock the remaining performance. On the other hand, combining an existing technology with industry knowledge of how to apply it can have a huge impact.
Actually it is odd timing considering intern recruiting is slowing way down for most companies around now.
Are you even having the same conversation as me? You are so into your anti-IP/DRM mindset its blinding you to the basic principle I'm getting at.

I don't give a shit what you think about the current Copyright or IP laws we have in international trade. In fact I think the current system is stupid.

BUT that doesn't mean China gets to unilaterally ignore them because it's beneficial for them. The same way I can't unilaterally ignore our laws on theft just because I think the system of distributing food is wrong. IF China wants to change the rules then they need to do that through the WTO. They decided to join in order to gain access to the global market. If they can't follow those rules then they need to be stopped or kicked out because it's causing serious issues within the global economy, issues that are leading some people to talk about war.
Academia.edu is a company that is trying to take the lead in this space. I wouldn't call HN-like, but it is at least a place that aims for academic discourse.
Nope. Not unless you can show that he did something a)unethical, b) immoral or c) illegal. Since he gets to define legality through what the FCC dictates, within reason, he can't really violate c on a policy level. If you got a and/or b, please let us know. You can even leak that information.

In general Congress has to pass a law declaring the ISPs utilities. Then net neutrality is a good thing. The problem is that none of the congress (obviously a generalization) really care about the topic. It appears to be too much for them to understand that AT&T made the claim that bandwidth over the wireless is limited. They went so far as to say that caps were needed. Now AT&T has changed it argument, "Our bandwidth is too limited for our users to use services from providers that we haven't made a peering deal with." Congress can't understand that peering or not, wireless spectrum is limited. Too complex.

If you write your representatives, you might need to use really basic language. Think Alan Shore explaining the pharmaceutical case to Denny.

She gets much of the recognition, and the blog states she made the evaluation (followed by a simple comparison table) and then implemented changes to the servers while a small, subtle shout out goes out to the authors of the compression algorithm. It's as if the credit was passed on to her for the purpose of google internship advertising.

I think outside of this article, it's very different who gets recognition here.
How many of those to the original crime though? I've read (this could be wrong) that plea bargaining has become endemic, which makes many of these statistics biased-to-useless.
Depends on crime type. Criminals generally get caught because they commit a lot of crime not because the cops put a lot of effort into any one crime.

Consider speeding, on any given trip doing 25 over is unlikely to get caught. If you do 25 over on every trip then you will get caught. Sure, murder is investigated but many a drive by in the US goes unsolved.
I think the difference in perspective here is that many people see gambling explicitly as a way to make money—not something they would do for fun, but something they would do because they need money, like a job.

These people are mostly wrong (save for the games of skill, e.g. poker, that are only played in casinos for traditional reasons.)
> Is there a technology gap around that size, is that what you're saying?

Yes, both a technological cap and a manufacturing gap.

It's not just the size that's the issue, but the fact that the resulting plane must be fuel efficient. That's a very important factor that made a lot of damage to the A380 for example; it wasn't fuel efficient enough and many of its customers (middle east airlines) told Airbus they won't buy more until Airbus update it with better engines.

Given that proper Engines manufacturing are also the issue for their fighter jets, it's easy to understand why China tries to get its end on any tech it can tech in that field (see: the old Tupolev and its tech they're buying from Ukraine, all the russian airframe they keep buying in small numbers, ...)

Honestly genuine question: What did you accomplish that was technically as significant by her age/experience?
That's true everywhere. Nowhere solves 100% of its criminal cases. You must watch too many police procedural TV shows if you think the cops just march out of the office and catch the bad guy by the end of every episode. Lots of times victims don't cooperate with police, it's unclear what really happened, police can't find the perpetrator, the prosecutor decides there isn't enough evidence to pursue a trial, there's corruption involved, the perpetrator has significant financial resources to fight the case, or ultimately the judge or jury thinks the evidence is insufficient. Or most tragically, someone does get convicted and it's the wrong person! The perpetrator is still out there and an innocent person is unjustly punished.

I'm sure you can use those results to argue that LZMA is superior in some way (e.g. compression speed) but it definitely isn't clear cut superior in other important ways (compressed size and decompression speed are inferior).

I can see why, given those results, that they would use Brotli over LZMA.

The dataset is private but the general gist is its like 100,000 rows with conversion and revenue data with time and 2 other dimensions. There are some outliers (clearly errors) in the data and strong seasonality differences in some dimensions, and data sparsity in others. The applicant isn't told about these, but we look for them to find it in their analysis and control for it in a predictive model they are asked to build based on the data.
> I'm biased because I used to work with many of the people Uber hired for self-driving cars, but they bought really great engineering talent

I think that's a fair perspective and I don't discount the capabilities and talents of the people working at Uber, it's the people running Uber that I don't believe are capable of steering the ship.

A friend of mine who has been an executive at a couple tech companies have chatted about the "no grown-up" phenomenon. Essentially, you can have a ton of super-talented people but if there isn't a 'grown-up' (irrespective of age) providing the managerial/fiduciary discipline (think Steve Jobs and Elon Musk as the epitome of this) then the challenges of running a successful business will quickly outpace the efforts of the talented engineers working there.

The number of teams/engineers that unilaterally work on overlapping projects or projects that don't serve any purpose can rapidly drown the needed forward progress.
