The last 20 posts might have been on a thread of yours (I haven't checked) but only about half of that was actually replying to you - possibly less. And some of those posts were even defending you. A decision I since regretted when you turned psycho on me and demanded I refund you karma(!!!) despite being literally the only person in that thread that defended you. This was also why I gave up on that thread and stopped replying to you).

As I said before, I didn't check this post was by the same user as the other thread. I don't tend to pay much attention to user handles. Sure it probably seems a massive coincidence but coincidence is hardly proof of malicious intent.

> I have implemented HTTP from the ground up I have nothing to prove to you.

Then why even make such a weird statement as that? You can literally "implement HTTP from the ground up" with a shell one-liner. It still doesn't prove you understand the nuances of the HTTP protocol; let alone any have any grasp of web security (which was the real point you were discussing here when you blundered your way through HTTP protocol jargon).

> I could argue with you, but it is just a bait to downvote replies.

How would that even work when HN disables the option to down vote replies?

Honestly, I'm not out to persecute you. You just need to chill out a little on here if you want _other people_ to stop down voting you.
Most of the Uber/Lyft drivers I've been picked up by are recent immigrants. The language barrier isn't a big deal but they blindly follow the directions on whatever driving app they are using (Google, Apple, Waze) and have no local knowledge. There are a few roads near me that are closed for construction or oneway only. So I've gotten into the habit of looking over their shoulder and interjecting where they should actually turn rather than what the app tells them.
Is there a particular problem that you were able to solve with a graph database that would have been more difficult using a different database?
> Does the industry really believe that theres nothing they can do to improve on the consumer experience? It feels like its changed very little if at all over the years.

You must not travel alot, or at least not in the US. There has actually been a lot of innovation amongst the big brand chains in recent years. Hilton for example allows online/app check-in/check-out and they've been aggressively rolling out digital room key compatibility across their properties (via bluetooth in the app). This has allowed me in recent stays to completely avoid the front desk / human interaction - from check-in to check-out.

> How about stop charging $15.00 a day for internet. It's 2017 charging for internet like charging for power in the room.

WiFi is mostly free for most of major chains in the US (Hilton, Marriott, IHG) - especially their secondary brands (Hampton Inns, Springfield Suites, Courtyard, etc.). Those that charge usually offer it for free to members of their loyalty/points programs.

These days, I mostly see paid-internet in the top tier hotel brands in tier-one cities. Think the Ritz in NYC, etc. Again the internet is usually free for members of their frequent traveller programs.

> How about getting rid of inflexible checkin/checkout times?

All the major brands have check-in / check-out flexibility. I've never been denied late check-out requests, especially with advance notice. Most hotels will allow early check-ins no problem and most chains allow you to request this via the web / app.

Early check-in / late check-out is also typically _guaranteed_ for elite members of their frequent travel programs (at least this is the case for Hilton and Marriott).

> How about lobbying local governments to reduce the exorbitant double digit taxes and fees consumers pay on hotels stays instead.[1]

It's worth remembering that those taxes go towards meeting various regulatory requirements, like ensuring safety standards, etc.... things it's important to remember that AirBnB lacks. If all AirBnBs are required to have working fire alarms for example, I'm sure AirBnB will tack on a "safety" fee, just like Uber did when they had to do driver background checks.

As a frequent traveler (so far over 40 hotel stays this year), I always prefer a hotel to an AirBnB. It is 100x more convenient for mostly a marginal difference.

It's probably a little of everything. Intel does put a lot of resources into projects like Kubernetes and other communities adjacent to Linux Foundation / CNCF, but I think they put a lot of money anywhere they see a future for utilizing their products... and I think that gets little abstract, sorta. Or rather, they invest in some things that seem like they're partially related to a lot of their core interests.
Add this to gitconfig file. It will automatically run the correct command after displaying what it is after a delay.

The value is in 0.1s (centiseconds) of seconds. So 20 means 2 seconds.

OR run git config --global help.autocorrect 20
Opera does all that as well.
It's an interesting philosophical question, I think. You can apply to all sorts of different scenarios - say milking a cow.

We seem to be a species that likes to destroy entire environments and extinguish other species. We can always say, "but it was for our well-being".

Where do you draw the line, then? Some people live a vegan lifestyle (I don't), some will not wear fur, or like to buy products that are tested on animals - or other products that are mass produced by wiping out entire forests for a mono crop.

To further the philosophical debate, what if you apply the same emotional attachment you have on a loved one, to the animal? Would you harvest an organ from your family dog, if it meant your brother had a 50% chance of living? What if the dog had a 50% chance of surviving the operation to remove the organ? What if those chances were greater or less?
Gaming is generally one of the cheapest hobbies to have. Even on the hardcore PC side with monster rigs, it still can typically come out way cheaper over a multi-year period than, say, skiing. But $3.50/hr is a lot for gaming, and a lot for BotW when it's on the Wii U too... BotW is probably worth it but I'll wait. :)

(One example, I got Dark Souls for $5 and have 100 hours on it, that's 5 cents per hour. Sure I didn't get it when it first came out (otherwise it would have been more, though not that much more -- but at the same time I may also have put more time into it with more active PvP) but I didn't need to, I had other stuff to play. I've got quite a backlog, or things to buy to add to the backlog when they're on sale, of amazing games to play that I don't need to play the latest thing at full price. Or a more recent example, I spent $15 helping back Yooka-Laylee two years ago, and it took me 23 hours to 100% it, so 65 cents per hour. Suppose it was $60, though, that's still only $2.60/hr.)

But bringing it back to the main point of the thread, which isn't cost, what's Nintendo going to do next? They have a ton of unused/underutilized IP, they can't make AAA content on a similar schedule to the rest of the industry, and it's not because their offerings are just that much better. Additionally when people can have 100+ hours of fun with the launch title, why are they going to buy other games when they come out? The Wii was notorious for having a very low bought-games-per-console figure, even though there were several great games for it. I can't imagine many third parties looking at the Switch as anything but a dumping ground (when the added dev cost is low) for stuff they already put on other platforms. In a few years everyone will have a mobile phone more powerful anyway so maybe it won't be much work at all.
That seems a little pessimistic.

I think most people can realize Uber is an outlier in many aspects, most of which, its inability to produce a profit.

It isn't even burning cash to continue growing, like Amazon, it is just burning cash to exist. Amazon at least has proven it has a valuable model but chooses to continue burning.

Patrick Winston Explains Deep Learning
What's the difference between AI and 'standard machine learning algorithms'? Seems like they are used interchangeably today. Especially if you count neural nets as a standard algorithm too - which, let's be frank - it is in today's world.
Most of the major hotel chains in the US have phased out this practice.

You only find it nowadays in the top tier chains, and even then, they usually offer free internet to members of their frequent traveller programs.
Gitlab has their own docker images, and it includes pretty much anything you could ever want out of a git service.

I think the point is that you also can't do Toronto -> New York -> Washington D.C. and the reverse. presumably, you could get some people that wanted the full trip and some that wanted either leg and together have a profitable full route, but instead they are stuck with two separate routes, Toronto -> New York and Toronto -> Washington D.C. with no other options, and must rely on a a domestic airline to approximate that.
This line of thinking makes Star-Trek-style teleportation much more feasible.
Based on my experience with several doctors and other medical professionals here in the US, it appears as if they always diagnose problems with a simplified test or some kind of decision tree like the standard test they did here (the "established algorithm"). Doctors I have seen only seem to get the diagnosis right if it is a problem most people have.

The most blatent example, though not the only one, is when I spent months and thousands of dollars (with the help of my insurance company) chasing a problem in my SI joint. Four different physical therapists kept telling me I had referred pain from my spine. This is based on the fact that I felt the pain if I raised my leg when I was lying down. That seems like a pretty poor test. Any other doctor or physical therapist that actually looked at my SI joint said I had an inflammed SI joint problem. The problem turned out to be my hip muscles would get tight when I slept on my side.

I would guess the main problem is not the doctors themselves but the administration that doesn't trust the doctors to use their brains. If that is true, it is not silly that the AI result beat the simple test. Hopefully either they will start using better tests of trust doctors a little more to think on their own.
Agreed. The specter of nuclear war threatens to swallow us all as surely as Azathoth would, and also Uber's stock value is going down. Sheesh.
From memory, U.S. potatoes have gone GM (genetically modified), IIRC. This may present a barrier -- I don't know WRT Japan.

What I work on
Telling children 'hard work won't get you to the top' is simply a lie, also. Success has an endless number of variables and they are all weighted differently for every individual. Fact is, your work ethic is a variable you control - Teaching children that is important.

Alas, teaching children (and adults) they're but one of a larger group of victims is, and will always be, a political juggernaut.
If we tell people the dangerous false idea that hard work is the main factor that makes someone rich or successful, we could end up with a terrible society where the rich feel they have no responsibility to help the less fortunate (by e.g. providing universal healthcare), because they must simply have been lazy – even though most rich people started out rich, and even the rich people who started out poor and worked hard still owe their success partially to being lucky enough not to have been randomly afflicted by some disease, by growing up in a society that provided them opportunities for education and business, etc.

So if your kids turned out more successful than others, don't tell them it was just because they dreamt big and worked hard. While hard work is important, their success was also partially due to luck and the work of others, and they should never forget that.
I do this ever since I started getting a bunch of spam calls, and it's amazing. The dialer does still "ring" in the sense that it takes over your phone and you need to swipe-to-decline or wait it out, but it won't vibrate/sound except for those in my contacts.

For my particular phone (Droid Turbo) it's here: Notification bar > swipe down again on notification bar > Do not disturb > Priority only > Until you turn this off; More settings > Priority only allows > Calls > From contacts only.

There's even an option down there (sibling to Calls, in the flow above) called "Repeat callers" which, when on, allows a not-in-contacts call to ring if they called twice within 15 minutes. None of my spam callers ever call twice in a row, so it's brilliant for making sure I see (repeat) calls from food delivery people, uber drivers, etc. (although I feel bad that I missed their initial call).

Of course YMMV depending on model and version.

Wow, great tip, thanks. One command down, hundreds to go.
Unless you're paying for dedicated internet access, you likely don't "have a 130Mb connection at home". Or, at least you don't actually have full access to all 130Mbps all the time. Try using 100% of the capacity of your connection for an entire month and see if you don't get a call from your ISP.

Your basic home internet package of anywhere from 10-200Mbps is priced at a level which is consistent with a usage profile typical of most home users. A fiber drop to a cell tower has a much different usage profile over the course of a month.
I thought amazon was dumping $ into infrastructure where as uber was dumping $ into customer and driver's pockets.
Logic 101: (A => B) != (B => A)

I don't know when it became OK to use these logical fallacies online to support propaganda.

I also don't know at which point even the people with above average intelligence (AND definitely know about what a logical fallacy is) decided that they will pretend it suddenly doesn't exist.

Lastly, I don't know why the HN readers who I'm sure know ALL about all this AND even more end up going all groundhog day and have the same battle every time this type of article comes up.
One of my pet peeves is when someone takes issue with an oversimplification of something, but instead of dealing with the oversimplification, they keep the same level of oversimplification but assume that the opposite view must be true.

Just because something's not 100% true doesn't mean it's 0% true. In this case, a more appropriate level of granularity would be: "if you work hard, you are more likely to be successful than if you don't work hard." That kind of nuance doesn't really resonate with children though, which is why we don't tell them that.

Complaining that it's all a big lie is akin to someone growing up, realizing that there is no Santa living in the North Pole, and concluding that the North Pole must also be a lie.
Bullshit. There is no reason to enter it---they already know almost everything. Just add to it if necessary.

There is no reason to pay a third party.

There is no reason to get a third party involved in your private financial matters, just another place to get hacked.

And just because it was tolerable for you, doesn't mean that's average. My taxes took four days and about eight pages, and I didn't make much last year.

Again they already know all this shit.

I filed taxes in NZ a few years back and it was a hundred times easier, "next next finish," on a modern website. Took 15 minutes.
One of the first thing you learn in telecommunication is that frequencies are one of the most precious resources on the planet.

There are only very few of those, you can't make more of it, you can't share one, if two things try to use the same they are both broken.

By the way, there are free bands available to the general public for free use.
...meanwhile, if your access control needs are less sophisticated, you can create the common group for all your git users, and use "git init --bare --shared=group" to set repository permissions correctly.

(You'll have to create separate UNIX shell accounts for all your developers sharing a common group with this setup, and this may or may not be a good idea.)
In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it." - G. K. Chesterton

An existing regulation might not be perfect, but that still doesn't mean you should get rid of it without considering why it was put into place initially.
"In my opinion: They are all teetering on the edge of extinction if (or when) Uber has to do the near unconscionable act and hit the button and launch – a down round." is everything wrong with the VC funding mentality.

Surely it would take the sheen off what has been a meteoric rise, but the hype cycle will continue to turn. Hopefully they can figure out the multitude of cultural problems if there is a harder reset.
Disgusting. Not only is this harmful practice often enforced by social pressure, now they want to make it into a law. Makes me glad to live in a country where tipping is not so widespread.
In biology, toxins are compounds that cause injury. The wording in the article implies that all waste products removed by sleep are toxic, which is unlikely. Many chemicals removed by sleep probably are not toxins, at least perhaps, not until they accumulate and form obstructions, like Alzheimer plaques.

I've been dabbling with Spacemacs for a while now (after having looked at Vim to the point of being able to handle day-to-day editing well enough), and have to say I quite like it. The mnemonics work well enough.

I have previously been using ST too, though, and so far find two of its nicer features lacking in both Vim and Spacemacs:

1) Ctrl-Shift-P. ST's menu is really nice and I always seemed to search for the right words in order to find what I was looking for. You can emulate it with plugins in Vim, and Spacemacs' ´SPC :´ comes close, but they both end up being a bit more awkward than necessary (with emacs, it's mostly due to the function naming scheme and the terminology used).

2) I found the various flavors of multi cursor support in both Vim and Spacemacs not to be equally elegant as in ST. ST allowed you to do some amazing edits with Ctrl-F and some basic Regex knowledge (using Alt-Return). On the other hand, I learned that this can mostly be mitigated by the usage of mostly simple on-the-fly macros with Vim-syntax, so it's not that much of a problem.
1. Get enough sleep.

2. Exercise and eat right.

3. Set goals. People with goals vastly outperform those without.

4. Track your progress. This will involve determining the right metrics. "What gets measured gets done."

5. Look for more efficient ways to do things.

6. Read the book "The 7 habits of highly effective people."

7. Learn some time management techniques.

8. Read up on how to plan things backwards: Start with where you want to be and figure out the step before that and the step before that, etc. Otherwise, you may be "climbing a ladder leaned against the wrong wall."

The more I think on this topic, the more I think this statement is incorrect.

Or rather it's correct, but irrelevantly so. Sure new markets will be created if your worker pool is made up highly motivated and college educated individuals. But it won't matter for that first generation - economies simply don't shift that quickly.

It's not a linear correlation, but it's a lot more linear than economic theorists would lead you to believe. In human working-age timescales, it may as well be linear.

I somewhat agree with the premise, but then I read "going home to a bedroom which you share with many other siblings"
Yes, surely sharing a room with your brother and sister hampers your chances of success (sarcasm). Did he mean a cramped room? Even so, I don't agree.

There is no guarantee for anything in life, it's an absolute certainty that you will get nothing without some semblence of hard work.

Tried Gitlab: It's incredibly messy. Haven't tried Gitolite. One of my criteria with git repos is the education of new programmers, and I believe starting with a clean, lean UI gave me an initial positive impression that Git was simple (surprising ey?).

I suggest you read the end of that paragraph, because he ends it by saying essentially what you said he missed.

> So much more is required.

While he does not explicitly state what is required, he is obviously saying that we need to stop using that statement alone.
It's basically a way to use the result of a pointer to a member.

Let's say you have

class Foo
{
int m_bar;
int m_baz;
}

You want to store off which member of Foo you want to reference, but you want to do it in a way not tied to any specific instance of Foo.

int (Foo :: * ptr) = &Foo::m_baz; // Basically offsetof() but safely typed.

Cool, but now what are you going to do with that member? What if I want to set it to 10?

int (Foo :: * ptr) = &Foo::m_baz;

std::vector<Foo*> foos;
... // populate foos;
for(Foo* foo : foos)
{ // For each foo, set whatever member ptr points at to 10
foo->*ptr = 10;
}

I've never seen it really used in practice (usually I see offsetof() and pointer math in this situation because the object type isn't known before hand) but it's an option.
While that's true for hardware Blu-ray players, I don't see how it can hold for Blu-ray players that run on a PC.
