I just do it once a month. I really wish they would have an option to do that, instead of forcing me to go on the website once a month and cancel everything except one week.

I like it because it's a good way to cook things I might not decide to make otherwise.

Complaint #2 makes no sense to me. You add all your own salt. If they want less salt, add less salt.

Capital. The more money you raise, the longer you last at gambler's ruin. Hence why they're IPOing.
I was surprised as this as well. I wouldn't think running these queries on small datasets would take much computing resources and would provide a nice competitive advantage over other alternatives.
I imagine upspin is one of the best examples because Rob Pike is one of the main contributors
German here - Germany is certainly not exiting the Nato. Quite the contrary. The large part of the German defense forces are deployed on Nato duties. Former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Turkey (supporting the fight agains the IS).
That doesn't look right. Could you share with me your browser and OS versions? edwin@stripe.com
I wouldn't assume any particular post is a 'real opinion'. The CCP employs many shills posting noise to domestic social media, so it wouldn't surprise me to see chaff on Quora as well.
Kueski is Hiring in Guadalajara, Mexico!, yes you can get a piece o Silicon Valley if you are in Mexico too! ( https://kueski.com/careers/

We are a well funded startup (closed Series A last year) who have been working for the last two years building the "Amazon of Financial Services". Whether it is building financial risk models using the latest Machine Learning algorithms, or designing and developing that killer software architecture to process millions of applications and users, there is plenty of fun. Kueski is backed by Crunch Fund and Core Ventures, having raised USD$1.3 M in the seed round Delaware Corp. And a $35 M (the largest FinTech investment in Mexico![1])

At the same time we are operating 100% in Mexico (Guadalajara, to be precise). For those reasons, you will find all the cool things you would expect from a company in the Valley such as (but not limited to =oP ) ping-pong, great amicable culture, no office hours, among several other things. We have open positions for variety of profiles:

- Backend Engineers
- Frontend Engineers
- Full Stack Engineers
- Data Engineer (specialised in both Machine Learning infrastructure or ETL processes)
- DevOps Engineer
- Sustaining/Support Engineers

We are growing our technical team like crazy right now.

Either that, or we will launch a lot more stuff, 9 tons at a time.

The biggest thing going against it is it's not clear this scheme can drive the costs down enough to double or triple the launched mass per year. There is a limited number of things we can do in space. A significant part of the cost of any single probe is the launch.

If we can reduce launch costs enough (maybe making the booster reusable) and through building a standard probe with pluggable sensors, drive down the building costs, we could have dozens of probes going places we currently can't afford to go. We spend enormous effort in shaving off every single gram from anything that goes to space. If going to space gets cheaper, we can spend a lot less time shaving probes and more time probing.
Well, I think we could go without hyperinflation and voucher privatization.

It would still be pretty bad, sure. Most of Soviet enterprises will go belly up either way. Even in the USA the rust belt suffered during that time. And Russia was basically one big rust belt.
I disagree to call this a UBI. No one in Iran was ever able to live from this in any way. It is like the 193€ child support the German state pays to every parent: it is helping, but I could not pay even the lowest rent in the country with it. I know this "UBI" from Iran because of my relatives there and essentially it was considered a joke and no one cried a tear when it went away.
Why is this Suez? How do you know it's not the British losing a battle in 1761 or something? I mean, there were probably prognosticators at that time saying, "Charlie, did you hear about that British defeat by the French by the old Ohio River. By God they're finished as an empire. Done!"

We won't know the impact this has on anything for a long time. In a decade it probably isn't going to matter. Just seems like a huge overreaction to compare something like this to Suez.

If you really want to get into why it's a bad analogy, we can talk about how Suez was the result of the Egyptians nationalizing the canal and then the new superpower (the US) rebuffing the British when they tried to take it back. Yeah, that was a sign of the end of British power. Seems like this incident is the US taking the ball and going home, with no real response from other nations other than protest. If anything it tells you how much power the US still has.

...but I just liked my Dwight Clark joke. The Catch still haunts me as a Cowboys fan.
My first reaction to seeing an SQL-based API is 'ugh'. SQL is complex and a little cumbersome, and easy to get wrong.

My second reaction is 'oh, thank god'. I'm so tired of having APIs where I have to go through the 'get the list of users', 'iterate over the list to create a map', 'get the list of messages', 'iterate over the list of messages and add the username to the data structure', 'oh wait I have to get the channel list separately too, seriously?', 'get the list of channels', 'iterate over the list to create a map', etc.

I love Slack's API, for example, but having to fetch a list of users, along with the entirety of their profile data and everything about them, then do the same for channels, then do the same for messages, then tie everything together, it's very cumbersome compared to

SELECT m.message, m.when, u.username, u.name, c.name FROM messages m LEFT JOIN users u ON (m.uid == u.uid) LEFT JOIN (m.cid == c.cid) where c.name == "#general" LIMIT 50;

(or whatever it should be, I haven't done SQL in ages)

And I also get a lot fewer records, especially when I'm trying to get the last 50 messages from #general on a Slack instance that has 400 users and 200 channels.
I'm not arguing it isn't true at all - just saying that anecdotes alone aren't going to prove this one way or another, at least not to my satisfaction.

> Ofc it's going to be anecdotal

Not really. People link to studies/research here frequently in comments.
Navigating Cancer | Software Engineer, Apps | Seattle | FTE, Onsite | http://navigatingcancer.applytojob.com/apply/FkgeHniqVR/SDE-...

We're looking for an engineer for our frontend team. We're currently using Backbone, Rails, and a pile of other tools and services, but we're looking at options for our new stuff.

We've got ~25 engineers these days, and it's a pretty great spot. It feels good to be making a meaningful difference in cancer patients' lives, and there's lots of stuff to learn and build. If you're interested in joining, I'd love to chat.
We actually have a range of different products, with wired and battery-powered versions of every system. Most of them can be combined with traditional mechanical locks as a backup.

The product we currently sell most is a reader unit (similar to rfid readers) that you connect to an external locking mechanism (e.g. an electric strike, motor lock, automatic door opener, etc.) and it's up to the customer to decide weather or not they still want a traditional cylinder installed into the door. For many doors, especially in offices, this is actually often not required (for example because there are several entrances to the room or its a door with a low-security mortise lock that can be opened with low effort in case of device failure).

Our stand-alone solution is a retrofittable, battery-powered industrial grade motorized cylinder that actually connects to an existing mechanical cylinder, allowing you to still use your old keys.

One very important thing that is never omitted though is that every door should open from inside in case of emergencies (e.g. fire) by purely mechanical means (turning a knob, pushing a door handle) and in commercial buildings also usually without keys.

If you are interested in more information you can PM me and i'll send you some PDFs.
I wonder how long until someone "jailbreaks" Teslas.
I don't think the parent poster was trying to say 'but Obama was worse', he was just pointing at the fact that an Executive Order can be undone by a successor.

Kind of a moot point IMO, given the current state of the GOP. Had Obama gone to Congress they probably would've reflexively voted it down anyway. The current GOP is willing to damage America's trustworthiness on the world stage and this is more proof to the point.

I don't know if most mainstream Republicans would've done something as drastic as this after the accord had been agreed to but Trump is basically the head of the party now so here we are.
This article says they dropped it to $850M. It also says they turned down a B$1.5 offer from Viacom around the same time.

I don't think your claims are correct.
blue apron sucks. Who are the people getting an onion shipped from wherever in 12 layers of packaging and $10 chicken breast.
Let's not forget that a lot of the tax fueled gouvernmental spending goes back to the middle and low income classes. And we are voting for it.
Trash is generally a byproduct of convenience, so I'm not surprised to hear this product generates a lot of trash. One can say the same thing about Keurigs, that hilarious Juicero thing, and many other services. I instinctively avoid this kind of thing now, not just because of the quality compromise but also this trash efficiency compromise. It's really short-sighted and lazy to consume in this fashion.

Go to a damn farmer's market and plan out your week, people!
Imperial Germany never had much of a global empire, only a central European one. Places like Namibia and New Guinea weren't exactly powerhouse colonies.

Intern, part-time, full-time w/ equity (early hire)

Synapse is bringing computer vision and deep learning to the defense sector. The first product we're developing is automated threat recognition software for the TSA for the detection and classification of threats/prohibited items (guns, knives, hammers, water bottles) in baggage. In a short time we've built relationships with TSA, DH, and most of the large x-ray and CT manufacturers.

SQL is quickly turning into the new Excel. Most excel power users at our company have picked up SQL easily. Our product, merchandising, marketing, finance, and operations have all managed to teach people SQL for everyday use. This tool is for them.
It's squared because energy is work, work is force times displacement (distance), force is mass times acceleration, acceleration is velocity per time, and velocity is vector distance per time. So you get:

mass × distance × ((distance ÷ time) ÷ time)

mass × distance^2 ÷ time^2

mass × (distance ÷ time)^2
Aren't the meats shipped with dry ice / styrofoam?
With all due respect, that's missing the point. If you believe that NATO is a good thing and successfully deters aggression against its member states, Trump's near-abrogation of America's treaty commitments objectively did far, far more damage to that deterrence than Germany underfunding its army. Ergo, Trump's nonsense about "paying" and your defense thereof seems terribly insincere. Either you don't believe in NATO's mission, or you are confused about how it works.

I mean... what exactly are you arguing here?
Say goodbye to ever supercharging.
@Chloe-

There is a position I am very interested in, but would like to chat with someone @Gitlab about it prior, how may I do this?
doesn't the carbon footprint of shipping it back offset the recycling?

It has its appeal. An interface made in html/css/js is customizable and programmable from a user's pov. Only the performance can be annoying, but sometimes its not too much of an issue, as Visual Studio Code demonstrated.
No one who uses blue apron, since an onion for blue apron comes in exactly one layer of packaging (the outer box), usually.

Which is one less layer (though possibly a heavier layer) than is typical with grocery shopping.

Technically, how would something like this architecturally be structured? Curious how they would sandbox the user data and still provide a SQL like interface.

I wrote something for Doctrine last year where I let my users query their own data using DQL. I had to write a TONNE of AST walkers to ensure that they weren't accessing entities they didn't have permissions to. Was a huge issue that I wish I didn't start :D (But one of those cool things when it was finished)

The answer from French president Emmanuel Macron to Trump's announcement (in English, video, 03:17):

https://www.pscp.tv/w/1jMKgoodLyqKL

edit: typos, duration of video
For the lazy:

>>> In 2014, 2015, and 2016, we generated $77.8 million, $340.8 million, and $795.4 million in net revenue, respectively, representing growth of 338% from 2014 to 2015 and growth of 133% from 2015 to 2016. In the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, we generated $172.1 million and $244.8 million in net revenue, respectively, representing growth of 42%. In the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, we incurred net losses of $(30.8) million, $(47.0) million, and $(54.9) million, respectively, and in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, we generated net income of $3.0 million and incurred net losses of $(52.2) million, respectively.

Yep, that's a good idea. And thanks!
Comments which add nothing of value to a discussion, but show a strong propensity to add a bunch of political argument that is in no way topical or indeed worthwhile for anyone involved, tend to be rapidly downvoted. So do comments that complain about downvotes.

If you don't like his business model, say so. If you don't like his politics, say so - somewhere else.
It's packed like an MRE! (Only less ready to eat, and probably much more appetizing.) This is the first I've heard of Blue Apron, but I'm really seeing where the accusations of excessive waste come from.
This, very much this.

Another way to put this: the asteroid does not care if your financial markets have factored it in the models or not. It just hits you.
UI can help with that. If there wasn't a share button or URL previews, the percentage of original content would be greater.

AI can help with that. Facebook already has automatic alt text for images, for example:

* Image may contain: 1 person, standing, selfie and phone

* Image may contain: cat

* Image may contain: food

And for an end-user, simple filtering can help with that. I sometimes use the FBPurity browser extension to hide everything that's a link or shared post, leaving almost exclusively original content. It can filter on that automatic alt text too if you hate cats, but I don't mind frivolous posts that are original content from my actual friends.
If the US was able to survive the loss of the Vietnam war and the Bay of Pigs where many people who bet their lives on the US died after being abandoned by them, the US will survive this as well and American credibility will be just fine in the long term.

Basically, the rest of the world will have to learn that getting the US to agree to something that is opposed by a significant group of Americans is a losing proposition. The fact that the Paris climate pact was not even submitted for ratification by the Senate, should tell you that there was significant opposition.
Why now? Surely he can not be surprised?
You can buy larger bulk packages at grocery stores and cut down on the waste. And you generally get a more favorable unit-cost that way as well.

I have friends who liked it for the healthy-food-on-rails aspect and because they weren't very adventurous cooks before trying it.
* Write out your task explicitly. Break things down into steps explicitly

* Write out the "why" of the task to help you efficiently resolve ambiguities.

* If it is a complex task, take some time to just spend writing down and resolving ambiguities explicitly.

* Pair program, or at least work alongside others who are working.

* Get 9 hours of sleep on a regular schedule.

* Exercise for 30 minutes in the morning or when you feel frazzled.

* If feeling frazzled, meditate. Sit down comfortably and focus on your breath and nothing else. When you notice yourself thinking about something else, gently guide your mind back to your breath.

The rich and powerful (note I did not separate government & individuals, increasing these 2 groups are merging together, and seriously, the censorship in this area is way better than things happen in the past) in China have to maintain a great public image. Even if a significant fraction of the population are fully aware of that being superficial, there are definitely larger fraction of people who does believe in the camouflage. Not that such people are ignorant, their life is hard enough to really have the spare time for these stuff.

The reason such history is heavily censored, is precisely for this cause. Such thing will never be freely available, as long as the social structure and political system works in the same way.
Will this actually cause producers to remove ads? Isn't there just an alternative monetization now? In other words, is there no way for a content producer to 'double dip' and earn from both Brave's payments and ads that work around Brave's ad blockers?
Blue Apron's biggest challenge is probably customer acquisition costs

Somehow you think the expenditure of money is exempt from moral consideration. This is the most amazing thing I've read on HN in a while. The "cause he believes in" is banning same-sex marriage... in other words, homophobia.

And that's because the death penalty is unjust.
The same point can even be made more cynical and still work: America's military dominance of its trading sphere led to a uniform perception of stability and thus to an environment where we could borrow essentially free money from the rest of the world. Take that stability away and the world desire for treasury bonds dries up, and suddenly it becomes harder to finance that huge military in the first place.

Basically, Trump is kicking over the house of cards as we watch.
