Is Southwest often that much cheaper? I usually only fly them because they're direct where others are not, but it usually doesn't save me money.

I mean, I kind of agree. I just don't get what you're worked up about in this context.

It's not bad anymore with async/await and promises/futures, but that featureset is still bleeding-edge in most languages. Older-style async code was much more annoying.

> Silk Road was hidden in the so-called dark web, a part of the Internet that’s invisible to search engines like Google.

That's not true. I've had a few onions that Google indexed, via various tor2web proxies.

> To access Silk Road you needed special cryptographic software.

OK, that's technically correct. But why not just say "Tor"?

> Combining an anonymous interface with traceless payments in the digital currency bitcoin, ...

It wasn't anonymous, because you had to create an account, associate it with a Bitcoin address, and provide a mailing address to sellers. And Bitcoin payments are not at all "traceless", unless you mix adequately and use Tor.
Show HN: Execute Cucumber Feature files without writing glue code
I very recently found out the answer to this question: about 200 bucks. Luckily I only had to spend 50-60 bucks to avoid them.

The viral doctor beating video did not even factor in -- growing up I was personally fucked around by United too many times to ever consider intentionally flying with them as an adult.

I've been told to run literally a mile through an Airport by a United employee, when I actually needed to go 2 gates down the hall. They are past not caring - they actually have a strong desire to avoid helping customera. It's endemic - United employees are an abused and bitter people.

Once my flight was delayed so they transferred me to United and I was pretty ticked off. This gave United the opportunity to lose my bag, an opportunity they did NOT squander.
Both nix and guix seem to have potential. Not sure if they are the "silver-bullet" (in the good sense of actually nailing a hard problem well) but perhaps.
IMO they are a bit too (local) package oriented than necessary.
I don't just want any right swipe. I want a right swipe from the type of person I want to meet. The image tinder claimed was best is IMO not representative of me. I have it in my set of images to show I "clean up well" but if someone chooses me for that picture I feel like they'll be disappointed and most likely not my type therefore I don't have it as my first picture.

It's much worse in terms of $$$ compared to most muggings, why shouldn't it be a long term sentence?

This is one of the major disconnects in modern society, stealing huge sums of money by rich middle aged white guys is a minor slap on the wrists but stealing a few dollars by young, black guys is let's send them to the slammer and throw away the key.

It's so blatant and ingrained in the system that you can't even see it.
I tried to give it a try, and gave up for now.

1. quite hard to "give it a spin" without using docker (vomit). I eventually found some random github repo that had centos7 compatible build scripts, and it took quite a while to compile it on a test vm since it had to build gcc and a ton of other stuff. Not sure why they can't just supply a static binary "release".

2. The config really is a mess. I managed to get something almost working (only / requests went through the proxy, but nothing else for some reason, even though I was using a prefix config). There aren't really any good example configs I could find either. There is a weird config builder script with json templates in the configs dir, but it just seemed to spew out some preconfigured madness.

I am sure it works great and has more tunables than you can shake a stick at, but for now it seems to be only usable by people who have lots of time to invest in trying it out.
It's a shame they're being folded into Alaska in the coming years.

Salesforce to me has been a very "emperor has no clothes" type tech.

It demos well, and you can do some basic things with it. But then you always end up hiring someone to do custom development. So the whole appeal of a point and click platform goes away.
Doesn't this information help United? They can now price their flights $200 lower than competition, just so that they continue getting customers, then surprise everyone with their awesome services, and then increase the price back to normal.
I will happily take Southwest every time over UA. If that results in a small premium so I'm not hassled at every turn to spend more money (better seat, buy miles, buy WiFi, buy a lounge pass, etc), have an easier boarding process and a larger seat to boot? There's no comparison.

Don't get me wrong: there are purchasing options on SWA also, but they are less pushy about it and last time I checked their prices were lower.

The only reason I have United miles is because they're the best direct choice for business class travel to South America and at that fare class most items are bundled but still no free wifi. And just like their vouchers their miles are essentially unusable.

I recently priced Houston to London with an eye to using miles to upgrade to business. It required $2000 in fees for two people plus the miles on top of the higher airfare required to get an upgradable seat. British Airways could ask me to sing Hail, Brittania every hour and I'd still take them over UA because​ they're so much cheaper.

GET Your BLANK ATM CARD TODAY BE RICH
Hello everyone this is my testimony

Am so happy I got mine from Bruce. My blank ATM card can
withdraw $2,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have
$14,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines
and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money
for business and enough money for me and my family to live on .I am
really happy i met Bruce because i met two people before him and they
took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now.
bruce sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own
card from him now he is not like other scammer pretending to have the
ATM card,he is giving it out for free to help people even if it is
illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. im grateful to
bruce because he changed my story all of a sudden . The card works in
all countries except, Mali and Nigeria. Bruce email address is

That doesn't explain why some poor cultures are the most sharing and caring of others...
Surely now with our newfound freedom the robust market conditions brought by Mr. Pai will usher in a new era, where the invisible hand will do its thing.
I remember back in high school seeing two dominant attitudes when it came to issues like this. You would have one group of very intelligent people who were very confident in their decisions and on the odd occasion where they made a mistake would often blame something or someone else. Worse they would frequently scoff at the mere suggestion they were wrong.

Then, you had a large group of people who had some degree of imposter syndrome and felt inferior to the first group, partly because the first group seemed so confident. They would avoid situations where they might get called out or blamed. Often their insecurity would lead to more mistakes or poor explanations once they did occur.

I wonder if this same phenomenon might be occurring in your situation?

I imagine in corporate environments people want to seem favorable to their bosses for bonuses and what have you. Also, and especially at large tech companies, you would have procedure, process, and tooling, that was relied on heavily and whenever something out of the ordinary cropped up that the tooling did not hand hold them through, would put them in a loop.
I don't gloss over it, but like I explained here, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14216073, he was never formally charged nor convicted of it, there were multiple federal agents (Shaun Bridges and Carl Mark Force IV) whose corruptness was intimately involved with the hitmen incident, and finally, violence in the drugs trade is a product of prohibition, not one inherent to darknet drug markets or the drug trade in general.

Tbh after this nonsense happened I'm utterly sure that everyone involved in darknet markets firmly avoids doing anything involving hitmen anyway, given how literally every so-called "hitman" online is either a fed, a scammer, or a corrupt fed.
Call me cynic, but being bullied, overcharged, and incovenient is somehting I learend to expect when travelling by plane.

I also know that if I don't follow the directions/orders of anyone with a bit of authority I will not allowed to fly the specific day in the best case, not be allowed to fly again, or even worst in the worst case.

I don't think that changing airline will affect my whole flying experience too much.

My own usage is inconsequential, but not the aggregate of all the consumers.
Sure. Seize the rights of way via eminent domain at the state level and lease it back to the carriers.
They're zero(ish) cost at runtime, but focusing on just that is missing something: pervasive unchecked exceptions inhibit optimisations, both in compilers and in libraries, which have to be more defensive to preserve correctness.
Managers beg you "what can I put in the fridge?!" It's not a one way street because manager is just as fearful of losing engineers as engineers enjoy the perks.

> lasers, I've been hit at night while flying and it's not something I want to repeat.

Really?! I find it hard to hold a laser pointer steady just on the wall, I can't imagine accurately aiming it at a plane cockpit for any extended period of time. Only maybe when it's taking off or landing, and you're close I can imagine being able to do it. Of course, that is the absolute worst time to lose vision though.

Can you describe your experience?
I'd argue that continuing to take the lowest fare when the operator behaves like this is a sign of irrational behavior -- you're ignoring second order effects because they're computationally hard and don't cater to emotive needs like base resource conservation does.

So you're mortified, but not enough to jog you out of irrational spending habits.
It seems like a central conceit of this article is that market forces may end up being substantial punishment for UAL’s recent bad press. Maybe it’ll make an impact for consumers, but what about business travel? I’d wager that it makes up a big chunk of UAL’s bottom line, and it all comes from entities that care almost none at all about UAL’s bad PR. What large company is gonna uproot their business travel workflow because of their airline’s bad publicity?
Economically speaking, non-refundability doesn't necessarily make overbooking unnecessary.

Let's take two airlines, A and B. Both only sell non-refundable tickes. A never overbooks. B always overbooks. What happens?

A will fly with some number of empty seats on average, because they still get the occasional no-show. B flies with fewer empty seats on average because they overbook.

Which airline can offer more competitive prices? It's B. Because by overbooking B's revenue per plane leg is higher.

If that isn't clear, here's an example. Say the planes have a capacity of 100, and on average 2 people fail to show. A sells 100 tickets for $100.00 each. B sells 101 tickets for $99.02 each. On average, B makes more money on every flight, _and_ is more competitive on price.

Of course with the numbers in my example the compensation paid by B on the odd occasion that everyone shows up probably kills any additional profit. The real numbers matter in order to determine to what extent this really happens in practice. But I hope I've demonstrated that non-refundability of tickets doesn't necessarily or automatically mean that overbooking is not profitable.

So there is some potential level of competitive benefit to overbooking even on non-refundable tickets, assuming that some people still occasionally fail to show (because they miss a connection, become ill, or whatever).

I like this concept, but maybe add sandboxing too.
I took a red eye flight that boarded only about 45 minutes after the security checkpoint for the terminal reopened for the morning. I sat right next to the Spirit Airlines counter, where I watched dozens of people place their bags on the spirit airlines baggage pricing stand. I tallied up the extra fees and Spirit just got away with an extra $4,000 that morning.

One of the only times I could say that I was thankful for flying American.
Allowing LD_LIBRARY_PATH in production is a potential security risk.
Am I missing something? How is going for the cheapest ticket an "irrational spending habit"?
That's because it's a very rare occurrence. Let's say I take 2 flights this year and each time United is $150 cheaper, should I spend $300 more as insurance that Delta (or whoever) won't have this happen to them, or that United will do this exact same kind of thing again? I just don't see it happening or being found in that situation. I think the opposite is actually the irrational choice, because you're not taking the probability of such an event occurring into account. I don't have anything against those who boycott, I applaud them, but it's just not me.
An obvious difference between IP theft and muggings, however, is that the later also entails threats of violence (and sometimes even assault & battery). That's why robbery is generally considered more heinous than burglary, where the victims are typically not present or asleep. I'd agree though that some sort of dollar figure should be attached to the psychological trauma of being mugged, so that great-enough white-collar crimes can also lead to imprisonment.
People are blowing this out of proportion.

About 300K people fly United every day [1] and for the most part have 0 problems (that other airlines don't have) whatsoever. This one bad incident makes the news (the definition of news) and everyone thinks United is horrible and they will never fly them again. Also remember it was the police who dragged the guy off the plane not United. Once the police got on the plane it was out of United's control. All United did was make a phone call to the them (to boot passengers off for their own employees which was wrong), so I feel people should be directing more of their anger at the police instead of United (although some anger can be directed at United too).

That is some good evidence. But consider that if there are 1000 stories, and 1 turns out to have supporting evidence, does that mean the other 999 are reliable, too?

It's like the psychic who correctly predicted the last 7 presidential elections. One doesn't hear about the other psychics whose predictions didn't pan out.
Everything the author describes sounds like docker-compose to me. Combine that with Convox and you've got a powerful, easy-to-use cloud platform.
It's impossible to build an environmentally ethical bank on top of an inflationary economic system - the very nature of the money in such a system encourages individuals to consume.
Sounds like the algorithm doesn't care whether or not you liked somebody. So even for a very indifferent person liking, say 1 in 2 people you're still likely getting a nonoptimal result. And AFAIK the whole point of this app is mutual likes?

Of course you can compare them. I didn't mean we shouldn't ever look at the differences in how languages do things. We should. I meant I didn't understand how one could be seen as a replacement or straight alternative of the other. They have different goals.

And I've seen that before. Frankly I thought it overly nice to Rust by not spending any time at all considering the differences in user-defined types. That's really one of the biggest and most important differences to me, and a place I think Rust really falls short.
That's very interesting, thanks for your perspective. I was familiar with Piper (from having skimmed the very article you linked), but didn't go much in depth about how it impacts dev environment.

Debugging, I tend to agree with you to some extent - I'm even 'on the record' with friends on saying that debugging should 'come from the mind' before mindlessly stepping through a debugger. Being able to do it, however, may be a valuable tool to help you 'refresh your mental model' of the code, or even to build the mental model in the first place when you are first learning a new system.

Building (Bazel) - Nice! Typically, when doing development on a compiled system, would you retrieve the build back from Bazel/Blaze to 'play around' with it locally? Or is most development test-driven? If the former, how many builds did you do on a typical day? If you're able/willing to share, of course.

This is "interface" programming, and is one of the most common programming tasks. Creating reports can be seen as doing this (convert from machine info to human info) Entry/Editing programs go from human to machine, inter-operability is machine1 to machine2. The list goes on and on.

The more you tie meta-data to your data the more this can be automated. And the more you use "standardized" formats the more this can be automated as well. (Unless the standard format can be read in more than one way, then you have a mess.)

Waze is awesome for road trips. It will save your ass driving down I95 through DC or something like that. It sucks for intra-city travel, as it is too optimistic about the speed of side streets and under estimates things like stop signs.

Did you read the rest of the sentence?

There are second order effects that come from the pricing pressure and the way the business operates which have a negative utility spread across the rest of your life.

My contention is that the price delta now (what you save) is worth less than the negative value (eg, from societal harm), so the total value difference, when you account for the more subtle effects, is negative. (That is, you'd be better off paying more now and not influencing things that way.)

That's computationally hard to account for and doesn't give the emotional high of "fuck yeah, good deal!", so people tend to do the irrational thing that costs them more in the long run but feels good now and they don't have to think too hard about.
Read both sentences.

Focus on the phrase "analyzing just that risk" in the second one.

SpreadShare - From strangers to MVP in 3 weeks
Is the argument here that if "net neutrality" goes away, carriers will provide service to "poor, rural area" because they are able to serve their content better than the generally available content on the internet? Not arguing for it, just trying to understand the argument for a less "equal" internet.

Also, I thought this was how it already worked, but it was just called home cable? Don't most homes in the US got a decent hookup to their home for "cable", that usually includes an internet package?

According to the developer survey last year, most of the community is using a stable compiler in some form[0].
