I think part of their problem is Uber's aggressive fair discounting and driver subsidies. Why would I take a Bridj when I can get a 20-minute-long UberPOOL ride through Boston for $3 - $4?

People at my company literally take an Uber to/from work daily because it's only moderately more expensive than the subway (MBTA fares are $2.25 - $2.75).

At this point Uber's grown to the size where they can just slash prices and outlast anyone who can't lose as much money as they can. I wouldn't be surprised if public transportation actually started losing a considerable amount of fares to Uber.
correct. blindsight is a fascinating topic in cognitive neuroscience because it is direct evidence for the existence of multiple different cognitive subsystems for visual processing, and it is fascinating that each of these subsystems has very different attributes w.r.t representation as objects of consciousness, reaction time, resolution, etc.

Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) is hiring hackers | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime

If you're interested in getting funded by YC as a founder in the future, but you don't have a startup that's ready for that yet, joining the YC software team could be a great step.

The YC software team is a small group of hackers in SF that write the software that makes all the parts of YC work.

As a member of the software team, you'll get full access to the YC program, just like founders do. You'll learn the ins and outs of how YC works, and you'll get to follow and learn from hundreds of companies. You'll meet the best people in the startup world and get exposed to the best startup ideas. And of course, we'll guarantee an interview for anyone who's worked at YC.

If you're a hacker, apply here: http://bit.ly/1Od0T2l. You can also email me with questions: jared@ycombinator.com
This is crazy.

"In such markets, the value of housing is no longer based on its social use. Properties are equally valuable regardless of whether they are vacant or occupied, so there is no pressure to ensure properties are lived in. They are built with the intention of lying empty and accumulating value, while at the same time, homelessness remains a persistent problem."

A home lying empty has a negative return (due to maintenance and operating costs, still have to water lawns, repair weather damage, etc). A home being rented has a higher return. There is simply no reason from an investors perspective to leave a home empty unless you can't find a renter who will cover their costs, or you are trying to sell it.

It's people like the author of this study that created the housing bubble in the US. They pushed to lower lending requirements, and pushed to have the US Government assume more risk so more easy money was available for housing purchases. With Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the US hasn't had a free market in housing for 70 years.

And worse, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are integrally connected to both political parties, offering huge payouts to retiring politicians or their friends in return for their support. Google the ex-DNC chairman who made $100M+ as chairman of Fannie Mae's board.

What I saw on CNN said that they offered a lower long term price as an alternative to Flint making the long term switch. When Flint announced it was making the long term switch, Detroit Water announced that they were terminating their contract which started a 1 year expiration clock. The permanent Flint solution wasn't due to be ready until a little over 2 years...which forced Flint to find an intermediate water supply.

Detroit waters offer was only good if Flint agreed not to move essentially.
Linux is far less fiddly than it used to be, though.

I just recently installed the currently frozen Debian testing (with the intent on staying on it once it replaces the previous stable) and there was nothing to configure, it just works, even starting with a minimal install (no DE) there was nothing to configure, just pull the right packages (like bluez, pulseaudio-module-bluetooth etc) and I could pair with my wireless headphones etc. If you install a complete DE like Gnome or KDE from the metapackages you don't even have to install anything yourself, it just works out of the box. Even for people like me who do minimal installs and run tiling wm there is little to nothing to configure. apt install xorg will get all you need for Xorg to work and autodetect your hardware, echo "exec dwm" >> .xinitrc will get your startx session up.

The early 2k had the massive amount of suffering between very poor WiFI support (lots of kernel drivers out of tree, need to compile them yourself and pray the API was synced with the current kernel or do it yourself), terrible state of audio stack (pulseaudio has gotten a lot more stable now, and is better than what we had in early PA days, or ALSA days), terrible state of GPU support (with mostly nvidia being okay, but still you would have to be more careful with kernel upgrades. Now you can even run a rolling release distro like arch, and pick a LTS kernel).
But now it's great. You don't need the proprietary driver for AMD cards, intel iGPUs work fine, NVIDIA requires the proprietary driver for performance but the open source drv will still help you get a decent X session up in the first time install, audio just works, bluetooth just works, wifi just works. Even wifi with proprietary drivers, like the broadcom ship on my mac, it's just a matter of apt install broadcom-sta-dkms and it just works. Even Debian doesn't shy away from distributing the proprietary packages in the non-free repository and it's smooth sailing.

Linux missed many window of opportunities during times when it really could have become closer to a mainstream OS. What is funny, is that in my opinion, Linux is now as ready for mainstream purposes as it could ever be, but the opportunities for it will not come again.

And then we have the locked down versions that are getting popular, like Chrome OS, which is really linux underneath. We'll probably see more of that, not less, in the future, but it's not too bad as long as we have the freedom to unlock the bootloader and install what we want.
Google is in a good position to bring an alternative to MacOS/Windows, although it won't be GNU/Linux as we know it in full, but it's close enough.
It's still pretty amazing that Y Combinator worked out as well as it did. Like a lot of very successful companies, it seems like the world just fell into perfect alignment with the vision.

It's interesting that acqui-hiring (as alluded to in the email) actually became a trend; even though it was later recognized to be bad idea (E.g. Yahoo's acqui-hiring tactics have failed miserably).

It seems like there was a false idea that tech talent was extremely precious and limited. It wasn't, but that didn't matter; acqui-hiring still became a thing and companies (and some foolish young founders) still profited from it.
His novel "Ground Up" that describes this coffeehouse nightmare in details is one of my favorite modern books. Can't recommend it enough!
Yep, at least partially. They terminated the contract.

Hard to make bets via CDS these days given the central clearing (and thus collateral requirements) regulations in Dodd-Frank.
It sounds like you're using "object" and "not an object" in the same way I would use "entity" and "value". I think this is Java terminology that gets used in C# sometimes too, I'm mostly thinking about NHibernate.

A value like 42 is fixed throughout time, it is always 42, and any 42 is indistinguishable from any other 42.

An entity on the other hand has an identity over time, so John Smith is always John Smith, even if he gets married and changes his name to John Brown.

Obviously it is confusing having different groups using the same words with different meanings, but that's just the way language works.

The general philosophy of classified information is that it's revealed on a need-to-know basis. Except for a few crude simplifications at the lowest level, there is no fixed heirarchy where you've just given all the info you want below some level. The folks at SpaceX, including Musk, probably got exactly the minimal amount of classified info they needed to safely launch the thing into orbit, e.g., the orbital parameters, its weight and exterior features, its robustness to vibrations and the like, the electronic interface for monitoring its health, etc.
Oh there is a clear us vs them mentality here.

I was surprised to see transphobic comments go unremoved. Negative comments criticizing YC backed ventures or saying Peter Thiel is gay is heavily censored through downvotes.

let's not forget that YC companies have an "edge" compared to other submissions.
Very different expectations in the US market I have found. People want to drink their filter coffee or large, milky espresso drinks while they sit comfortably with their laptops using the free wifi. No comparison to the average Italian who wants to down a quick espresso and be on their way.

Australian cafes make out like bandits these days. They're basically breakfast/lunch restaurants that serve great espresso based drinks, mostly don't offer wifi and have no problem moving customers along if they stop buying drinks so they can cycle the table space for new customers.
I suspect that the phrasing conveys a lot of the intent here. "We are moving to Minnesota to work on our startup because ..." Or "We are relocating our startup to Minnesota" don't sound bad.

If you are moving back for other reasons and the startup continuing is a secondary thing then it sounds bad. Moving in itself doesn't sound bad.

Uber's problems are internal or started with disgruntled internal employees, Yelp's problems are External, Completely different.

>>What people accuse Yelp of doing is pretty close to racketeering (or is? IANAL) and thus there is a high burden of proof.

Where there is smoke there is likely fire. I am probably not willing to believe it is corporate mandate with the evidence shown, however I can see a Wells Fargo style situation where perverse sales incentives combined with lacking internal controls allows for Sales people and Middle Managers to cause some of these issues that have been reported.

I don't think it is an attempt to conceal their identity, if you look at the details of the registrations you can see these are all operated by Donuts (http://donuts.co). Perhaps it is facilitate management and future adjustments to their portfolio.

social cohesion (or lack of it) and ideological balkanization has dramatically intensified lately.
I think the problem isn't "Minnesota", it's "back to Minnesota". Back to the place where things were before they started the startup. Where they had other projects going on. Where they don't focus as singularly on their company.

Moving to Minnesota is fine. By if you moved to SV to start a company, what changed that made you realize SV wasn't a good idea? The declaration has "but" in the middle; what are you running away from?
If investors can't find renters, or or the cost of repairs to make a place rentable isn't worth the rents it would generate, what makes you think the government can magically fix these problems?

No one is sitting around waiting for property to appreciate when they could sit around and collect rents waiting for property to appreciate.
nodejs is a huge step from php. You literally have to implement the actual web server and whatever template paradigm you choose, where as in php everything is already set up. If you are thinking about switching from php to c++ and already know javascript, then nodejs is a good alternative. But if you just want a better web framework stick to php.

I subscribe to around sixty RSS feeds. I check them daily using NetNewsWire 3.3. It's my belief that any site publishing original static content, such as a blog or a news publication, should make their new content available via one or more RSS/Atom feeds. If you're concerned that readers won't visit your website and see your ads, then provide the first paragraph in the feed and give readers a link to the entire post.
I use RSS with Blogtrottr to get updates by email. But I prefer it when the blog has its own newsletter. Saves me the trip to Blogtrottr and receiving their ads on each email.
