The family isn't literally in bankruptcy, and you have your history wrong. Bankruptcy reform is largely a consequence of mid 19th century classical liberal intellectual thought which shifted the onus of counterparty risk to the lender. One of the biggest proponents was Bentham, who could hardly be considered a socialist. Benjamin Tucker (whom it appears libertarians and socialists fight over intellectual ownership) was also a major proponent, but it's worth mentioning he was vehemently opposed to state involvement in socialism.

Not really. I keep my eye on this area as I generally transcribe my podcasts. But compared to ~$1.50/minute for human transcriptions that require minimal touchup for even fairly tech-heavy topics, nothing I've seen that's purely ML/computer-based comes close to being worth my time to deal with.

The point of Khronos was never to implement anything. It serves as a coordination mechanism among industry players, where the specs for OpenGL, Vulkan etc. are debated, hashed out and formalized.

I'm not exactly sure what your last question means. Vulkan will be available on Windows. I think it may be more correct to say NVidia/AMD/Intel are implementing Vulkan APIs in their graphics drivers and Windows will expose the API to applications. At the same time, they do seem to see benefits in creating other APIs at the same time, i.e. DirectX 12 and Metal. So we'll see I guess.
When heroin hit the streets back in the 1980's and burglary/theft became a thing, cars in the UK, built for the UK market with the fuel filler cap on the left would be the ones targeted by thieves. So the filler cap might have been in a great position for when stranded on the motorway due to lack of fuel but it was also in a position convenient for thieves. The first scenario can be avoided by looking at the fuel gauge, the second scenario couldn't really be avoided if junkies roamed the streets every night. You could park the other way round to make the fuel filler cap be road side, but that might not be practical.

I remember when my boss's 'Transit' van was raided for fuel during these high crime times, all the thieves had to do was pull a tube from under the bonnet. I don't think they even had to siphon anything and the filler cap made no difference.

Before this crime wave the idea of locking a petrol tank seemed a bit excessive, who would want to steal petrol, particularly if they had to siphon it and could get caught for stealing? Much more convenient (and affordable) to buy one's own. But then this crime wave of heroin addicts happened so common sense no longer mattered, things had to be zombie-proofed and the idea of an unlocked fuel filler cap now started to seem crazy. Who would invite the world to steal their petrol?

This crime wave also came at a time when people started being truly mobile for work, driving everywhere. No longer did you have the community of normal people walking the streets to make it difficult for thieves, we started to hide inside behind burglar alarms and CCTV. I preferred the former security model where everyone knew everyone else's movements and gossip with strangers duly noted, but such is progress. Note lead was in fuel back then too.

So in the UK it was the natively built Ford and Vauxhall models that were ripe for being raided and the hidden location of the fuel tank made matters worse. Fancier targets, e.g. BMW, would not get attacked even though they contained fuel too, it was the lock on the cap security plus the location that made the difference.
Some people find harassment in the form of deeply personal insults, doxxing, and death threats to be unpleasant enough that it's just not worth spending any time on Twitter.

> Now that the cats out of the bag though, as a biracial non-white immigrant to the US who grew up well below the poverty line, I find it somewhat funny to be accused of being a closet racist by a poster, whom from what I can gather, seems to be a rather rich privileged white dude living in SV.

If you know enough to know where I am then you know enough to know that misgendering me is a way to pick a much bigger fight. Coincidentally in your protestations of innocence to the massive cultural warfare taking place around you (despite coincidentally adopting its tone & rhetoric) you just so happen to leave that in. How unfortunate that I only put it in 2/3 of my online bios. I have corrected this oversight.

So maybe it's all a nice big misunderstanding or maybe one of us is a troll. It'll be better either way if we stop talking.

I wonder if future electric ones will have multiple charge points? seems like ti would be easier than multiple liquid fuel filling points.
> Two star-crossed lovers commit suicide, someone climbs mountain and makes it down ok ... Sometimes the journey or narrative is interesting even if the outcome is not extraordinary.

I like to think double suicides are extraordinary no matter how they occurred. And frankly, I think it's pretty unlikely that anyone would bother to tell the "someone climbs a mountain and makes it down ok" story unless the odds of not making it down were good enough to make the story interesting. There are plenty of stories consisting mostly or entirely of dialogue in banal surroundings, but those are usually set "at home" or similar.

You omitted AMC from your list, or are you not a fan of The Walking Dead and Into The Badlands?

Regardless, yeah, my wife likes Nebraska Football and I like Purdue Basketball so a service without BTN would be a deal breaker. And If I dropped my 200+ channel cable package (smallest I could get and get all of the things we both watch) and picked up either this or the $35 tier of Playstation Vue I'd save about $100 a month. We already have Netflix and Amazon Prime and I'd probably have to subscribe to HBO now for GoT and Westworld. I'd still save close to $100 a month AND get my sportsball!
Relative and absolute deprivation have absolutely little to do with how the poor feel in the US. Further, your argument basically boils down to "people used to be in concentration camps and you're not, you don't get to be upset."

Being content and happy in life has a LOT to do with expectations and we've done a great job of promoting huge expectations for Americans ala "The American Dream!" Poor people don't care that Bill Gates and Elon Musk have near unfathomable wealth. They care that a lifetime of hard work doesn't guarantee a decent home, access to affordable healthcare, or the security to live without constant threat of basic necessities being out of reach.

Further, the poor should demand more! All we hear from the upper class/business owners is more, more, more! Get leaner, cheaper, and make more money! The poor are only following the examples set by the "titans of industry." And if they didn't constantly ask for more, they would be in even worse shape than they are now.

And finally, if you ever want to convince others of your viewpoint, comparing America to third world countries is not the way to go. You've got to put on your oxygen mask before you help those around you. Otherwise you all end up screwed.
I can't help myself but wonder if some of those patients actually went to one of those doctors because they can prescribe MMJ

Let me try a different tack. Wages used to go up without relying on minimum wage. Wages have flattened, so there are a bunch of other issues that should be looked at before just forcing wages up, which can have all sorts of unintended consequences, especially if the real reasons wages are flat aren't addressed first.

Taking money out of circulation (by saving it/not spending it) reduces supply, practically speaking, raising its value, causing deflation (price levels drop, cash becomes more valuable). This isn't controversial, it can be seen in recent history. Expansionary monetary policy (increasing the supply of money) = inflation, deflationary policy (reducing money supply) = deflation.

> That doesn't make any sense. If the rich hoard money the velocity of money goes down, and that causes the value to go down too.

'Velocity' of money is a shitty concept, but regardless what it means is that with higher velocity, goods and services are in higher demand relative to cash (more transactions over time). This increases price levels but reduces the value of cash.

So velocity going down decreases demand for and the value of goods and services (price levels), increasing the relative value of cash.
Are most laws addressing things that are "really a problem"?
Yeah, autocorrect can be so helpful…until it's not!
Out of curiousity, what do you think could have caused the driver to go bankrupt? It sounds like he bought an expensive, UberBlack-eligible car, intending to pay for it with his fares, but the fares were reduced and now he can't make the payments. How common is that scenario amongst Uber drivers?

If Uber drivers are, in fact, independent contractors, then they have some responsibility to determine whether the business they're engaged in is a profitable one, and to judge the risk involved. It seems like it would be very easy to underestimate both the costs and the risk.
Most Linux/BSD distributions seem to separate out "core" PHP extensions (those that are distributed with php source, not via peel) into individual packages.

So while PDO may not be installed by a plain `apt-get install php5` or similar, I doubt the now deprecated `mysql` extension is installed by "default" in those scenarios either.

Edit: this approach also means that the PDO extension in php.ini will be commented, because its loaded by a package specific ini file e.g. /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/* which are generally symlinks to /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/

They research it because the doctors can't be bothered with that even though it's their job. Why doctors aren't fired in masses is bewildering.

Got this issue with my doctors. They just don't care about me. They want to do as little work as possible. They refuse to read the papers I give them. They refuse to use effective medicines according to the research. They refuse to listen to me period. They're lazy sadistic assholes.

Finding a doctor that actually cares, works and fight to heal you is very difficult. As rare as unicorns.
My excitement for WASM has nothing to do with speed or efficiency of the runtime. It's all about finally having a universal compile target for the web. We're finally going to be able to develop web apps in a proper language of our own choosing, without needing hacks like TypeScript.

Hopefully, this will lead to real dedicated IDE tooling and standardized libraries for the web along the lines of what's available in iOS and Android native development.
His/Her point was that if someone is still using shared hosting (where they can't change the extensions available) it would be very rare to find one that doesn't have PDO enabled.

> Commented out in php.ini does mean disabled - as in not enabled.

Not necessarily, as I explained here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13761550
I did it. Took all of 60 seconds. Do it.
no, WASM will not replace JS unless somehow, overnight, the idea of downloading 30mb of compiled runtime libraries to read an inaccessible-to-screenreaders news article becomes appealing.

but i wouldn't hold my breath for 1990's style java applet loading throbbers to come back into fashion. there's a reason that stuff got outcompeted by the supposedly "inferior" javascript.

what wasm competes with is flash games, insecure java applets, and npapi and nativeclient in general.
We take several days (2-3) on 8 Titan X GPUs to train our models, which is quite a lot of compute. Running on mobile devices is quite challenging – the inference is not yet fast enough to support that, and has only been optimized for x86 AVX2 CPUs. It may be possible with a fair amount of future work!
Big business decision makers like to pay more because it's a signal that they're dealing with someone that's going to be in business in 3 years. But their finance departments like to save money to an obnoxious degree. So charge them more per seat for enterprise features and offer them a discount that'd still more than your basic seats.
Chiming in as I noticed the change too. For a long time it was almost impossible to speak with a human - every query was directed to the extensive but often useless support pages. If a human did respond it often seemed like they weren't savvy enough to handle a microwave let alone solve infra issues.

Then, about a year or two ago - humans actually started responding to and fixing problems. A welcome change!
Since you've cherry picked your data to support an observation of no inflation, do you also support not increasing the minimum wage?
I have to think that anything more ambitious than DF would either take a crazy genius with lots of free time or a large team. Possibly both.
From the Bloomberg article -
> In 2012, Uber Black cost riders $4.90 per mile or $1.25 per minute in San Francisco, according to an old version of Uber's website. Today, Uber charges $3.75 per mile and $0.65 per minute.

The least a CEO could have said is to thank the driver for his feedback and promise to look into it.

Just because you're disrespectful doesn't mean the CEO of a consumer facing company can treat its partners like that.

with the AMD Ryzen CPU release tomorrow, you can now pair a lastest generation 8C/16T CPU with a 1080 for $1000, a combination that a week ago was about $1700. The Ryzen boards should be cheaper too, bringing the total system price for a configuration like this down a lot. Pretty amazing.

Not looking forward to it again.
> Alcohol and tobacco industry will lose customers

Tobacco is already losing customers, and this is partly b/c of the fact that second hand smoke has been attacked so directly. It's not just YOU that's smoking, it's everyone around you (marijuana, depending on it's consumption method will suffer a similar stigma).

Alcohol companies on the other hand are just being paranoid. I suspect that alcohol consumption will maintain it's current usage, or potentially even go up. In fact, if marijuana was fully legalized, it's oil being very similar to hops (and in the same family, Cannabaceae), could be used in some beverages. The beer industry could in fact have an entirely "new" product line.
Yes, because conservative people don't complain.

In reality, it's a dismissal indicating a lack of respect and/or lack of any fucks to give. Yes, I'd say that's about half the country.
I did not find this video problematic at all. If anything, I am impressed that Kalanick went for a conversation with the driver and on the same level. This could be a cultural difference, but I perceived the driver tone as aggressive and bullying, when Kalanick was eager but civil. I think Kalanick handled the confrontation (which is what this was) pretty well. This fits his style and my perception of him and while he may not be a person I would want to hang out with, this is why Uber is successful with Kalanick as a CEO.
Bet you a beer, you'll do something great and won't be willing to leave it go to school. : )

Sort of, the intel 8c/16T is crazy expensive because it's a server chip with 4 memory busses, ecc support, etc. $1000 CPUs don't make sense for gamers. The fastest "normal" i7 is has plenty of cores and better single thread performance than the $1,000 intel chip. Of course AMD wants to compare to the $1k chip, not the more competitive $350 chip.

The Ryzen is a desktop chip, no ecc, half the memory busses, good at cache friendly stuff. No faster than last years CPUs on anything memory intensive.

Of course AMD's going to cherry pick the cache friendly benchmarks to brag about.

Rest assured, any mathematical or logical system capable of expressing arithmetic is incoherent, if only trying to prove so using it's own rules.

It's not because he's a billionaire, it's because he's the CEO of Uber talking to an Uber driver about Uber. Even if the guy isn't making particularly solid points or is being accusatory, it shouldn't be that hard to hold it together, be conciliatory, and avoid saying something nasty. This should be child's play for a CEO discussing/defending their company.

(That said, on the whole, I agree that it's being blown pretty out of proportion.)
Regarding misgendering you, that was truly not my intention. I spoke too hastily and while I took a cursory look at the links in your profile, and have seen your handle around HN, and for the record I generally find myself in agreement with you on many issues but this shouldn't matter one way or the other, I had no knowledge of this part of your life.

Just to be absolutely clear here, it was not my intention to misgender you or to otherwise use that as ammunition in our disagreement here. I find such tactics to be incredibly dehumanizing and despite our disagreement here you certainly don't deserve such an attack. Regardless of my ignorance of your situation, and ignorance is no excuse here, I apologize for my prior comment.

In my experience, it isn't the wealthy who think the poor are lazy/irresponsible-- it's the working poor and the lower middle class. The "more conservative half" of the country isn't particularly the wealthier half of the country. Speculating as to why that is would probably overflow this comments section.
Every petrol station I use has hoses that pull out enough to reach the other side. I didn't realise there were places that weren't like this. People still queue up for 'their' side resulting in the occasional free cut to the front for me.
