It sucks worse if you have compliance requirements because the controls really suck in the product. It exists because Google Drive exists.

You missed the serious suckabe. 3 years ago you could put the sync client on a fresh install of Windows 8 and do nothing with it and it would break itself.
I hate line length guidelines. People should just enable word wrap. I use Sublime Text and it wraps lines in a really readable way, maintaining the indentation from the start of the line.

Acushnet has sued small ball companies into oblivion in the past.

Acushnet took the initiative in suing Costco this time.

Costco, unlike the small ball companies, have the funds to fight back, Acushnet isn't that big of a company. It's defeinitly a small cap company whereas Costco is definitely a large cap.

Apologies if my post structure was not clear.
The "they" in the first clause of that sentence is referring to Acushnet, not Costco.

That sounds great on paper, but in reality, all that does is prevent legitimate cases from advancing. It's already expensive as it is to take legal action against an offending party. You are assuming that every lawsuit is a money grab; it's quite the opposite.
Sure, it's difficult for a committer to keep up with all of the different styles. Imagine being a developer on a project with 50 different committers, all doing it their own way.

As a committer, I would rather have it clearly explained what the rules are before I do it incorrectly. Sure, having tools that will do it for me is awesome, but considering how many examples in the OP are different because of historical reasons, those tools are difficult to configure.

Haha. Do I believe that? Even the legal filing is short on facts, just assertions. Like who counted the dimples and how many are there in reality?

Thanks for the link. I think I fall somewhere between "willing to believe what I'm told" and "willing to do extensive research". "Willing to not particularly care" is about right.
Doesn't increasing entropy imply increasing complexity?
Having sold a couple of companies now I will put it to you this way. If you were to sell right now you are selling from a position of weakness, not strength.

If I was in your position and if you are just tired and want to do something else you need to get the business growing consistently again month to month. Maybe that means finding some fresh blood to bring in.

Another option is instead of selling, look into hiring professional management to take over and you drop back to advisor and chairman. Hold them accountable to grow the business. This means for some period the net income will obviously drop but it come back. Plus it may give you the push and distance you need to be able to help the business and yourself.

And of course you could just sell and try to maximize right now but it won't be as favorable since you are not in a strong position. But sometimes it is nice to just move forward and put cash in your pocket even if it isn't the highest amount you could.

Good luck!

In 2010 I met a guy who claimed to be the US Monopoly champion at a boardgame meetup in LA. I asked him how there could be a serious championship since the game's rules are so simple and professional players would simply play the statistics. He said the whole game is about convincing people to give you what you want, he was very good at it, and it turned out that his regular profession was lawyer.

Anecdotally I've heard that the store oftentimes works fine in high-traffic situations. But if my memory of my time at Amazon serves right, the "P99 performance" of this store should be as good as the "mean performance", which is probably where they're being cautious.

Speaking from my own areas of experience, I've been struck by how much some celebrated methods and results in machine learning, broadly speaking, basically amount to tinkering without any hard generalizable proofs. In at least one case I'm aware of, there was a statistical proof later that made it clear the original researchers were close, but if they had a different dataset they would have come up with a different result. In fact, as I write this, I think I recall that different researchers did come up with different results, and it was in large part due to tinkering on different datasets.

So yes, even in computer science you run into similar things. Maybe not the same, but similar processes leading to similar problems.
Just don't forget - eventually the universe dies, and your immortal body along with it.

Haskell has a module block, but you don't need to indent the content because the block can end at EOF.
The key is the `rethrows` keyword, which allows the compiler to conditionally enforce error handling based on the signature of the given closure.

The equivalent Go code would then (presumably) be these two methods:

func drop(seq []T, while func(T) (bool)) ([]T)
func dropWithError(seq []T, while func(T) (bool, error)) ([]T, error)

If you pass in a closure that throws (i.e., can return an error) then the compiler will require try/catch error handling at the `drop()` method call site.

If you pass in a closure that does not throw then compiler will assume that `drop()` does not throw.

How do other places control supply of taxis, or do they not do that at all?
I was homeless for about a month. Literally on the streets. There were a few payphones nearby, which worked.

Wouldn't have been able to contact anyone otherwise, at least to talk. Luckily the library nearby let use a pass for an hour's internet access each day, which I mainly used to contact people and find services and such.

Would be a shame to have them go fully extinct. Just like it would be a shame if all water fountains suddenly disappeared too. I wouldn't have made it out of that situation without them both.
(It's a joke, with poor delivery it seems. It also pointlessly replaces things in <head>. Also, it clobbers every element on the page, attached event handlers included, so it's expensive and destructive. To be clear, it's expensive because it treats the page as a string rather than using the DOM and replaces every element, not because regular expressions are expensive, which they aren't. As far as string replacements go, it's pretty quick. The underlying joke is it's a 1997 JS novice/Perl monk's attempt at replacing your O(n*m) script, which really needs no optimization, hence the dated <B> and "DHTML!"... I'll see myself out).

This also really effects ratings outside the US (where the userbase both iOS and for many apps is a lot lower). The per-country rating stuff is mad.

As an example: For my country (which is all I can see) Instagram has ONE rating on the current version and WhatsApp has none. For all versions, they have just 21k and 17k respectively. There are probably amongst the most popular apps, so their star-rating in the lists are based on one or less ratings.

Ask HN: Seed funding from very hands-on relative
I'm starting a robotics company and currently raising seed funds (also applied to YC S2017). I'm building a robot that can do the entire laundry process autonomously.

A close relative had agreed to give me seed funding to start the company. However, when talking about the development of the product, they insisted that I write down every task that needs to get done so they know exactly where I am in the development process. In fact, they suggested that I only get 50% of the funding up front and will receive the rest of the funds pro rata as tasks are completed from this list.

We fruitlessly disagreed on this for the better part of an hour. I think planning is great, but betting the future of the company on the accuracy of the initial plan goes against most everything I know about startups.

I'm a noob, so I have no prior experience to help me here. Am I being unreasonable for not following through with the investment on these terms? How much project management materials do most angel investors require?
Okay, let us know when you've written a fmt which works on, say, a mere 70% of kernel code. That should let you ignore the $N different assembler syntaxes at least.

Whether that's true or not, I don't think it's enough to rely on the invisible hand to squelch this practice. The truth is, as long as it is advantageous to sue frivolously, companies will do it. And this is bad for the free market, the economy, and consumers.

Policy change should make it much more costly to launch a frivolous lawsuit (as distinct from a claim made in good faith), e.g. by making it much easier for a bullied defendant to counter-sue and win significant damages.

I don't think the headline is ominous. It is not like Amazon is delivering a regulatory project that has real deadlines. They set their own deadline and made a decision to adjust it. They are also creating the first of its kind so kinds are to be expected right?

It is actually the defendants place of business that matters, but doing business for jurisdiction purposes is pretty widely defined. If you sell your stuff to Amazon and Amazon sells it nationwide, you are going to be subject to nationwide jurisdiction.
I think it's just a lot more nuanced than that.

Unions have done amazing things to increase worker pay and benefits up from horribly inadequate levels, and to increase safety standards. But they've also don't some pretty bad anti-competitive, rent-seeking, protectionist things as well. Getting rid of them certainly isn't the answer, but letting them do bad things is unacceptable as well.

No one is saying "everything that unions do is bad and they should go away". But it's equally naive to suggest that unions never do bad things at all.
Interesting. I grok what you're saying now and it does make sense. And though I do agree that people do exist who put honor before everything else, we know that kings were buried with the kinds of items that Ötzi had, especially the copper axe. It would have to be some kind of Klingon to put honor before looting that. I totally grok your perspective, though, and I don't think it's unreasonable.

At the college level, I think that the social gap gets even worse. Women can get into frat parties where they don't know anyone, though they don't even have to because they are much more likely to be invited in the first place. Bouncers at bars/clubs will let them skip the line and overlook them during ID check.

Women are better paid in the services industry which gives them bank roll to sustain their partying lifestyle, although this isn't even needed because they can get people to pay for their cover/food/drinks.

Lead-in: "Amazon’s first cashier-free convenience store was supposed to open to the public early this year, but apparently some big technology issues have the launch on hold."

The Verge's article is a hot-take derivative of the WSJ article. My criticism was misplaced.
