To be fair to Grisak, Musk's "firing" of a customer was also a B2C situation. That being said, there are a number of factors that differ:

- Musk had not already sold the individual a car.

- Musk was (possibly) responding not to the critical blog post, but to the content of the phone conversation.

- It has not been decided yet, but I doubt Garadget will ultimately have the popularity and cachet of Tesla's cars. This, for better or worse, does have an impact on what you can get away with.

- All of the above notwithstanding, maybe this was not Elon Musk's finest moment. Not ever word out of his mouth is useful for all purposes. Citing the fact he said something, even if he was in a situation that is perfectly analogous to one's own, does not justify one's comparable action.
It's like getting a foot in the door, which is a big thing in itself.
Here's an example: during the 2012 election, a national supermarket chain gave a small amount of credit by way of a gift card to anyone who promised to vote for the (now current) party. Poverty means votes can be bought, allowing politics to focus on maintaining (corporate) status quo instead of providing a good life for citizens.

It also means a lower rate of literacy which correlates the world over with social and religious conservatism. Quoting Harvard: ".. economic downturns have contributed to periods of increased social conservatism that have brought right-wing political parties to prominence"

How do you figure that private shuttles don't reduce congestion, because that goes against SFCTA estimated that private shuttles eliminated 757,000 single occupancy vehicle trips per year.[0]

There are other complaints you can make about private shuttles, such as their redundancy, exclusivity, and the fact that they don't need a subsidy, but saying they don't reduce congestion, isn't one.

At its core, the complaint is just sour grapes from not planning ahead. You wrote the API with the guarantee of an enum, and then broke the gurantee and expected all the code relying on that guarantee to be fine. It doesn't work that way.
The headline of this piece seems clickbaitey in a way.The article just seems to be several loosely correlated statistics.

To me, being a evil lazy millennial, it sort of feels like we inherited a scorched and salted earth. We're trying to till the land to the best we can. But it's not working.

On living with parents/home owners. I did that until 27 to save money. I then bought a house, as per my prior comments worst mistake in my life. It's not just me several of my friends, bought homes and are in a similar boat. The general wisdom I hear from people in my age range about owning a home is F that noise. As I've said it can work, but be smart on it.

So due to rising real estate prices. What do you do stay with parents, room mates, or live pay check to pay check. Our living situation has changed drastically over the past several years. Jobs are centralizing in certain areas. While jobs leave another area. I can attest to companies leaving one area, killing a city.

Continuing on that I feel we're in a fight or flight mode. There have been other articles about the increase of male suicides, burn out, increased therapy attendance, decrease in intimacy etc. I mean I didn't grow up in the 80s. But were there a plethora of articles like that at the time.

We are not staying in one place long enough. A job is no longer a guarantee like it was. It's now you pay me enough to get by, my bills but that about it. So it sorta comes to do we dig in and fight for what we want. Or try and fly to some where better. Then we start life because of college with one sword over our head.

Then we have dating, relationship and social dynamic changes. Technology has changed how we socialize and interact. Now we are no longer tied to just our group of friends. We can access anyone, a myriad of people.

Dating has become almost a shopping experience. I've had a number of friends rattle off a list of ingredients they want out of their partner. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Comparatively older love tales just seemed simpler. I've also seen more non monogamous relationships crop up. Which I'm still trying to determine if that's due to more relaxed social standards, the aforementioned, or I hang out with esoteric people.

Moving to kids, I know a number of people. Who fall into the we don't want to raise kids in this world, finances, health, or I don't where I'll be 6 months from now. Doing the math for retirement on a 6 figure salary, home with 1k mortgage, and a wife. With an intent of one vacation a year, three date nights a month, and retirement savings. Kids didn't factor into the budget.

I didn't grow up with many broken homes. But I had friends who did. My concern with marriage now is more the sue happy nature. I also feel like I live on a tectonic plate, and don't know which way it's going to shift next.

I'm not crying that millennials have it difficult, or are overwhelmed. I just dislike these articles shifting blame solely on the younger generation. We are at an inflection point. Alot, alot has changed over the past two decades. Yet we're still trucking on with standards of living from several decades ago.

0.27 strike price was the 409A valuation at the time that the options were issued. There is usually another 409A valuation after the funding round. But we don't know what that value is. You can speculate, but using the funding round as the amount is wrong.

The dogmatic belief also has side effects. If you have ever been with someone you considered generally wise but also held on to some non-scientific belief, you know two things.

1. Taking away the non-scientific belief will cause a genuine vacuum in their life, and what comes in to fill it usually takes away the happiness they had earlier

2. The dogmatic folks don't put any/much importance on what a moving target science is, and how badly it conflicts with normal folks need for permanence. Some of them will scoff at this as "unwillingness to change", but realistically speaking no one likes change just for the heck of change unless it is an actual improvement of some aspect of their life. Society has "changed" towards embracing more materialism, but its side effect of less human connection is not an improvement that most people actually desire.

So do you wish to be happy and contented? Don't expect science to give you an answer.

If there is something that science cannot provide, then it is just another tool in your toolkit and will continue to co-exist with other things which can make you happier, no matter how "unscientific" those things are.
Uber is without a doubt the single greatest thing that has ever happened for people who don't have a driving license.
Don't see anything about satellite launches on that page -- the only significant capital infrastructure in evidence is a single ground observatory.
Semantic correction, but it's really Amazon who refuses to let their streaming garden exit their hardware garden. I'd say it's more that Amazon Video doesn't work with the Chromecast. Since, you know, that's driving a lot of Fire Stick purchases (fellow frustrated Chromecast and Prime owner here).
The article states he received those options as a contractor. Is this common? I was under the impression that only employees are entitled to stock options. If it's possible to get these options as a contractor, what really differentiates the two practically?
AC Transit is not the primary Bay Area bus system. The public transit system in the bay area is a huge patchwork of systems, and AC Transit is not considered an especially well run system.

I think Muni and Bart do far better in cost effectiveness calculations.
While I enjoyed the article, in the end, I can't see any of these new techniques working in a meaningful capacity. I think traditional moderation techniques still are relevant to the discussion.

The "problem" that the whole distributed paradigm brings to communities is the same as its greatest strength: if nobody controls the system, then anyone has just as much influence as their peers. This means that systems will have to be put in place to give some power over others in order to control the community.

This is where I believe the crux of the issue lies: in the distribution of power.

If anyone can decrease someone's federated reputation, then so can the trolls.

If you require people to "join" a community, whether by participation or time or other means, trolls will do that as well if it is easy to do so.

If I were trying to create a community of people who are at a higher risk of being harassed I would have my community structure take some cues from HN, Reddit, and the like.

One of the things I love about HN is that you need a certain amount of rep to downvote. This alone eliminates a lot of the issues Reddit has where everything turns into mob rule as everyone, including community outsiders, have the ability to influence discourse. Going one step further, I would propose an invite system. While an invite system would mean slower growth initially, we're trying to optimize for quality in the community, not quantity.

I had some alarms go off in my mind while reading this article's seemingly nonchalant approach to what is effectively censorship, but in a distributed system I guess this is of no concern as everyone can just "fork" the community and start their own.
That makes sense if you can get the networks OTA anyway. If your alternative to cable (or satellite) is a blank screen, as in my case, you're more hesitant to pull the plug entirely.

Isn't it more work to write tests than code? Not sure that's the best argument against a technology.

You can easily hang yourself many different ways. The idea with Swagger includes some rules, which is what makes it useful. If you don't want that, then why use it?

It would be nice if you didn't have to write HTML to write a web page, but that's a constraint that has pretty well known benefits to end users.

Mojang is owned by Microsoft now though. Also, it's extremely unlikely that Mojang makes more money than Valve (remember, they take a cut of every steam transaction).

Otherwise your argument is accurate.
Hi, I'm the author. There are a few things worth noting:

1. Time-series data (data collected over time, e.g., DevOps data, financial data, sensor data) is a growing (and lately, quite popular) type of "big data" thanks to a number of trends: more sources of data, cheaper storage, rise of a monitoring culture, IoT, etc.

2. One of the characteristics of time-series data is that it grows very, very quickly (e.g., when collecting data every few seconds), making it hard to use traditional relational databases for storage. In response, people have developed specialized time-series databases, which so far achieve scalability by sacrificing query power.

3. We just released a new time-series database that takes a different approach, achieving both scalability and query power. One of the benefits of our approach is that one can use normal SQL to run queries, something that was missing in prior time-series databases. Another benefit is that we are tightly integrated with PostgreSQL, one of the most popular, reliable, stalwarts of the database world. A lot of people find this approach useful.

If you collect any type of time-series data, then I welcome you to take a closer look. Happy to answer any other questions.
What's the latest in regards to multi-master (production ready) setups in the PostgreSQL world these days? (i.e without manual or application level sharding) Last I checked, the "solutions" that were out there weren't ready for prime time.
Innisfil has an estimated population of ~36,500. I doubt there's a serious congestion problem. I could see the Uber approach being increasing interesting as population goes down. Of course eventually you run into the problem of not having enough drivers. (For example, my hometown has a population of ~3,500. I suspect it would be a challenge to constantly have drivers available.)
Can't recall where I first heard it, but it was at least 25 years ago.

To be successful, find a successful person. Then do what they do.
This is the reason I don't watch Amazon Prime video. It's so dumb to have to have a separate device for everything.

Ok now lets imagine peak hour downtown in any reasonable sized city with 60 private vehicles in place of every bus.

Uber and similar definitely have a role to play in transit but really the system is built around the peak loads which uber alone would deal with poorly for a large place

Sounds great in theory, but I have to wonder if we are living under the same government. My government can't even not fuck up a simple website. I'd hate to see what they'd do with a ridesharing app.

Piggy-backing off the extremely polished apps forged in the heat of open-market competition seems like a good call to me.
That looks similar to the Kenyan Matatu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matatu
That's one way of looking at it. And definitely a plausible move for Amazon for the reasons you outlined.

Especially if the long term strategic goal of Amazon lockers / physical points of presence is to morph into 711-style "80% of what you need in life". Which they could naturally have delivered to you within an hour.

An alternative thread, which I'll admit to cribbing from someone else's comment on the "Betterment" HN post, is that this is about the other side of the game (or even lower on the food chain): becoming a bank.

Assets under management affords the opportunity to do everything else. And it makes it impossible for anyone else to cut you out, once you scale to a "too big to ignore" size.

Amazon payments from Amazon accounts? Suddenly you're saving credit card fees + making interest on balances. Which you can roll into being that much cheaper than Walmart.

If you get assets stored under your control, that's the ultimate vertical integration.
TL;DR: It seems to me that this is a misleading evaluation of the data. It appears to me that more people are being financially supported by their parents.

In 1980 the unemployment rate (according to a quick google search) was around 7%. In 2015 it was around 5%. If I understand correctly, the unemployment rate measures the number of people actively looking for work. So I guess this means that in both cases the population between ages 25-35 who are not working, but also are not looking is pretty close to 20% (!?!?!)

So, if I look at the pretty graphs in the article, the percentage of married people in 1980 is nearly 70%, while it is roughly 40% in 2015. It's frustrating because I have no idea if they are counting "equivalent to married" status here (or if that's a thing in the US). The number of people living with their parents (and presumably not in an "equivalent to married" situation) is about 10% in 1980 and about 20% in 2015.

So what I'm getting at here is that some part of the 20% that are not looking for work is because their spouse (or equivalent) is working, some part is because the parents are working, and some part is because the people are independently wealthy or living on the streets.

I couldn't get poverty rates for 1980, but it appears to have been relatively consistent for the last 30-40 years (with a reported dip in the 1990's). So, it appears to me that, indeed, there are more people being supported by their parents in 2015, while in 1980 there were more people supported by their spouses. I think this probably does indicated a problem in the future, though less to do with the institution of marriage and more to do with the financial outlook of the population.

Aside: for an organisation built on financial data, Bloomberg publishes some pretty awful articles data-wise.
I think I've figured out my confusion. I'm thinking of momentum as mass, not the product of mass and velocity. To an extent, the authors seem to have the same confusion.

Perhaps you aren't aware, but this very scenario and others similar to it happen throughout the animal kingdom and in human species. In the wild, mothers often abandon their sickly or less fit children to focus all their energy on ensuring the survival of their most fit offspring. It is also possibly a reason why poorer people, especially farmers, tend to have more children than urbanites as a sort of morbid insurance. The more children you have, the greater the chance one has at surviving. Parents do often put more resources into the child that shows the most promise. It's a valid survival strategy. I'm just stating that what you think is crazy is actually pretty rational and is practiced.

That said, if you don't have programs like these, then the best and brightest are simply going to leave and you'll experience brain drain, making it that much harder to endemic problems. There is more than enough food to feed the world, these destitute situations arise mostly because of corruption or government incompetence. 6 yr old me had no interest in solving corruption and/or economic development and I imagine I'm not alone.
You want to get that equipment for a community college serving a Native American tribe? That sounds like a great cause! (The person states they are looking to fund things that might go unfunded otherwise)
I hear tell that once upon a time, you could just be walking down the highway, stick your thumb out, and hitch a fide almost anywhere.
Well, no. Not no one.

But a government has the task to always use the least costly bid. And that can also be "build it from scratch". In this example, that’d be cheaper.
100% agree, though personally I make it a bit simpler and just stop with "I will not buy an IoT product."
It's not terribly difficult to roll one's own using Vagrant and Ansible. We maintain a project template for this in a git repository, where playbook resources are shared between development and deployment. Other than paths and which configs in Django are used, this makes development and depolyment nearly identical. It also makes spinning up a new project trivial. Just a couple commands.
By sharing hosting with someone with a bad reputation, and then deliberately working around their controls, I have no surprise whatsoever that they drop your email. That is not behaving like a first-class citizen, that is behaving like an underhanded reprobate. Sorry to say that your anecdote is an illustration of "how not to do it".

You have to accept and work with changing expectations.

If you are unable to relocate to more reputable hosting, and your messages are legitimate, solicited, authorised, well-formed transactional email (no promotional mail shots), I suggest you switch to delivering through a squeaky-clean provider like Postmark.
Well the second question was also related to multi-user deployment. From what I understand, jupyterhub will spawn multiple kernels every time someone logs in. But a lot of the time (most of the time?), you don't intend people logging into your jupyter notebook to be doing interactive stuff - maybe they just want to run the whole thing as a dashboard.

So it becomes a traditional webapp use case. Do you need all the proxy/websocket, stuff to do this ? Your nbconvert command still needs every user to spawn his own kernel right ?

About the first part - it would be great to have a simpler jupyterhub. One of the steps is to have everything in Python.
Earlier (30+ yrs ago) a view accepted by most was that commercial companies deliver services much more efficiently than governments and bureaucracies. Profits and all, it is still cheaper for government to buy something than to develop it.

That mindset seems to have changed. I wonder if the companies are different (greedier?) now, governments and non-profits are more efficient or is this purely a perception shift.
