Of course the european model assumes business travel means rail is much closer to start and end destinations and transport is so reliable you need only arrive 5 mins beforehand. In California this doesnt apply as much, but its going to head more in that direction in the future.

I used the MusicBrainz API a while back for a side project that got me sued for some reason (http://tcrn.ch/2rEox3h).

As I recall, it was pleasant to work with and did what I needed it to quite nicely, aside from a feature that my code had depended on being removed — anonymous/unauthenticated search — at which point the project was already basically dead and not worth trying to fix (that was just the last nail in the coffin). In any case, nice to see that it's still active.

I get 10x RPM from CPC ads vs CPM. Maybe that's not true across the board?
That's a pretty huge claim you've got there, with no proof.
My experience hasn't matched what you've posited here. I bought a car a couple of years ago, and found that multiple dealers consistently quoted me the highest price for cash and 0% financing deals, and would only structure discounts into the price if I paid interest. A discount for cash was right out. Perhaps cash purchases may have gotten you a discount at some point in the past, but dealers appear lately to be completely uninterested in them.

> You say variance covariance etc etc, but it does not take much for RVs not to possess them

In practice, essentially always, for real random variables X, Y, all of the
following exist and are finite:

E[X], E[|X|], E[X^2],
E[XY]

Var(X) = E[(X - E[X])^2]

Std(X) = Var(X)^(1/2)

Cov(X,Y) = E[(X - E[X])
(Y - E[Y])]

Cor(X,Y) = Cov(X,Y)/(Std(X) Std(Y))

E[Y|X]

E[X] and Std(X)are
useful quite broadly and
that we find/estimate them
does not mean that we
are working with a Gaussian
distribution.

If the above is not true,
then there is something

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_plans_for_German_indust...

"The reduction in steel production that resulted from the first and the second level of industry plans meant that a steel production bottleneck ensued which forced other parts of the German industry to fall below their own permitted production levels. The economy of the Bizone finally hit rock bottom early in 1948 as a consequence of this.[21]"

It might have looked like a swift turnaround on the politics, but if you influence economics, the system behaves very physical, meaning, bottlenecks propagate, and effects ripple.

For most Germans i guess, the contrast of the war economy (which always felt good, due to wealth of whole Europe being fed into Germany) - and the aftermath, with refugees and year long food shortages was quite stark.

I guess all other nations have a prolonged history of suffering with the start of WW2 and slow improvement after the end.

Spilled milk under blown up bridges over long dammed rivers.

Whats way more interesting is the question of prevention. I actually propose the idea of Extremism-Vacacination. Controlled Synthetic extremism is introduced, in a controlled environment and the lectures are really learned.

Its quite similar to the approach i always suggest to transmitting live-experience from generation to generation. Usually advice is not really taken or valued, until the same mistake has been repeated.

Take scam-prone investments, for which every generation falls again and again. Now imagine a service a father/mother (or grandmother/father) could hire, that would scam the kid, and retransfer the funds upon lesson learned. Such a lecture, though also painful, would be less prone to do all the damages the real scam would do.

Problem is, behavioral vaccination is not legal.

When a particular company calls you, just ask to be put on their "do not call" list. Real organizations always seem to honor that list, and there are large fines from the FCC if they don't.

I recently diagnosed a MySQL latency snag on a well known cloudy platform for a customer. I run rather a lot of comparative bonnie++, MySQL bench and Lord knows what else. I was able to convince the customer that my office PC ran MariaDB better simply because my single SSD on a rather shag Lenovo PC (a cast off from another customer!) had better i/o and latency than whatever they were being given by said cloudy provider.

I suggest you start with the basics: CPU, RAM, disc I/O and latency, network I/O and latency. Optimise those first and then work up the stack (and down, then back up etc.)

If you start with "assume a spherical EC instance" you may not be considering the whole problem -> solution -> realisation thing.

It requires a good work ethic and a lot of time. It also really helps if you are an experienced programmer. It definitely is not easy but that's more to do with how you organize things than with the actual complexity of the code and a microkernel is super helpful with this aspect, it is far easier to hit the right structure than with a macrokernel, you're more or less forced into doing it right without any way to give in to the temptation of taking a sneak peak at a data structure that isn't yours.
Regarding your last point, this is also a nice benefit of for...of loops in JS, where you can use yield and await. It's sort of the best of both worlds.
1) Superintelligence. This is a really great read about the implications of AI, or general intelligence. It's really intriguing and brings up so many scenarios I've never thought about. Anyone interested in AI should definitely read this.

Similarly, On Intelligence is an absolutely brilliant book on what 'intelligence' is, how it works, and how to define it.

2) Hooked. Although it's very formulaic, Hooked provides a lot of good ideas and approaches on building a product.

3) REWORK. If you're a fan of 37 Signals and/or DHH, this is a succinct and enjoyable read about their principles on building and running a business.

Currently I'm reading SmartCuts and The Everything Store - both of which are great so far.
You might recall California has a long history of employing Chinese immigrants for railroad construction.

In modern times, the biggest obstacle to new train routes tends to be acquiring the right of way. You generally have to buy up all the property in the path, or compensate people, and deal with the politics/lawsuits that generates. There are a number of public documents about programs for the high speed rail project: http://www.hsr.ca.gov/Programs/private_property.html
Ask HN: What is a good way to get into trading cryptocurrency as a developer?
I have limited knowledge about trading cryptocurrency, so obviously I need to educate myself about that first (feel free to suggest some resources). I do have a strong CS background thus specifically I'm looking for advice/resources that could show me how to utilize my CS knowledge in cryptocurrency trading.
I don't really care if we build something or not in California. I'm more concerned about the fact that we've lost the basic consensus and cultural cohesion necessary to have a functioning civilization. Our inability to agree on anything leads us to "worst of both worlds" solutions.

I discovered MusicBrainz Picard about a year ago and it handled my collection pretty flawlessly.

I was always wanting to know since then if there are other maintained/curated music databases.

I also didn't realize at first that they offer a public API. The Picard client was decent, but I'd be interested in a command-line solution. Does anyone know if this exists?

Airports take a lot more space than train stations.

Living near an airport is horrible due to noise. Trains are a lot quieter than planes.

You can fit more people on a train than on a plane.

You can load that train with more people a lot more quickly than a plane.

Train stations can be underground if necessary.

You'll have less pollution from the train.

One downside pointed out below, it seems there is a problem with building the rail line. You need to train up high speed rail engineers, create the manufacturing base to make the thing and maintain it, and probably won't have another in the whole country. Or maybe one other in the north east.

This is a data-acquisition tool made by academics that lives in an environment (hybrid passenger automobile) where some extra weight and some conversion loss is utterly fine.

What matters here is reliability -- the device runs without being attended, and needs to keep working otherwise data gets lost / doesn't get collected. These researchers don't really have the inclination to faff around with designing a DC-DC converter system, they're trying to study IMSI catchers!

Were this to be made an actual polished product or deployed in an environment (like in a UAV) where weight/loss matters, I'm sure that someone could design a DC-DC conversion system that's tolerant of the nasty transients on automobile 12V bus and also supplies all needed voltages, without any needless conversions.
Play the numbers game. You definitely have software development experience so apply 'as total stranger' to as many places as you can through their jobs section. With the giants (Google, FB, Amzn, etc) it may be harder to hear back from this way, but mid-sized and smaller companies are more likely to respond to you. While applying for internships and new grad positions, overall I applied to more places 'as total stranger' as opposed to via referrals from friends and received responses.

I don't like that article, because (1) it claims Go is doing something new, while Go is really just threads with a particularly idiosyncratic implementation; (2) it ignores the fact that you can convert async to sync by just blocking and sync to async by proxying out to a thread pool. The "what color is your function" problem really isn't a big deal.

Coinbase Seeks $1B Valuation from Committed Investors
So, if someone donates more than me, then I would lose my patron status and do not get donation back?

It is possible to donate more than someone and still not be patron, e.g:

1. I donate 1000 eth, become patron #1.

2. Someone donates 1003 eth, he becomes patron #1, while patron #1 (me) is just forgotten (does not become patron #2).

3. Let's say places #2 and #3 already occupied too with donations of 999 and 888 eth.

4. I donate another 500 eth, so my total contribution now is 1500 eth, but I still do not make it into patrons list, despite I have donated more than anyone else.

5. Sad. Cevfefe.
3 years is long enough for an Objective-C API to be deprecated and obsoleted/removed.

I'm not too sure that CS knowledge would be that applicable (for trading) at least. Trading cryptocurrency for profit is speculation - essentially the same as trading a stock on the stock market. Unless you're working in HFT or trying to build out an algo to trade for you, besides some basic math skills, I can't see how CS knowledge would apply.
What will you do with it?

I've cottoned on to the idea of focusing on feedback loops instead of "practices" lately as a way to deal with the kinds of evolutionary changes projects tend to go through.

Practices tend to emerge within a specific project situation as a pragmatic way of addressing concerns. When the practices are communicated across projects a game of telephone is played, the nuances lost, and the meaning is eventually replaced with dogma.

Consider which would be more useful: a workout log that suggests how much additional difficulty you should add each week, or a fixed plan found in a magazine that says that you should be performing an exact workout in each week?

This is the struggle I think programmers really face, because the codebase at any moment in time needs an appropriate "workout plan" to successfully reach the next stage. Sometimes a form of cheat can be used to accelerate it towards a goal, but the concrete progress is reliant on a similar formula to progressive overload cycles.

This focus on feedback also guides healthy cutoffs between prototyping and production solutions: the production solution only makes sense once prototype learning has been done, and the prototype likewise stops making sense when it conflicts with the demands of feedback.
I love MusicBrainz and have been using it for a project of mine for the past few years. In the course of developing that project, I ended up making a GraphQL interface to the MusicBrainz API: https://github.com/exogen/graphbrainz

To pick one of many red flags: if they bid for the town and lose to a higher bidder (price might be around $2M), "There is no refund mechanism coded into the contract per se; this does not mean refunds will never be possible, though."

That seems like the sort of eventuality one should think through in advance.
HSR and "more airports" are not substitutes.

Airports don't address the need for capacity on trips shorter than the SF-LA route (e.g. Fresno-SJ or Bakersfield-LA). Rail lines do address this kind of infill transportation.

More airports by themselves don't make it easier to get "to and from the airport" -- for this, you need more highway capacity. Most calls to build more airports tend to ignore this fact and its associated costs. (Rail stations, on the other hand, are distributed along a line and don't induce the kind of traffic congestion at a single point that you'd see with an airport node.)

The real alternative to HSR is a massive expansion of the highway system, including I-5, and more airports. I would like to see critics of HSR propose a plan that addresses both needs.
Basically any time one person's data is collected or used in any way, that person would have the right to be notified of the actual data in question, how that data is being used and by whom. This could be an email containing a csv file with the actual data points and a brief summary of what is happening with the data.

This is the ideal and I haven't fleshed out the idea too much which is why I am soliciting opinions and ideas.

This is the way I've seen it too. It may not be everywhere now, but it was meant to be a safety net in the event that a car was totaled and you still owed the finance company money. For the finance companies, this was essentially free money. Of course they ran loss statistics on it to make sure that it was in their favor, but I did see it save people from a really bad situation. My coworker, driving to work one day got hit and totaled his car. He actually got his car loan at the company we worked for before he started working there. They just wrote off the car, and he was able to go and get a new 0% interest loan. Total win for him. This is the exception not the norm though.
AIUI, DUI was the standard toolkit for first-party Windows UI from XP through 8.0 (this includes the "Metro" shell components in that release like the Start screen). Starting with 8.1, new components have been written using the same XAML toolkit that's promoted for third-parties, but there's still lots of older DUI stuff in the OS, like File Explorer and the taskbar.
Why do you all act like one party needs proof, but only because they are refuting what was said originally, also, without proof.

Neither is providing proof, so asking one party for proof and not the other is obviously absurd.
