Uber: Statement on Covington and Burling Recommendations
On a technical note; the transaction(s) in question have not been rolled back, rather, the faulty contract was deprived of it's funds and the money was put into a new contract that distributed the funds to the original investors.

It's not a rollback since the original contract is still on chain, just without money. If you fuel it with some money you can use it.
You forgot about the STDs.

Spatial is built on Chisel, and from what I can tell, basically offers you an "SDSoC" experience for Scala.

In Chisel, you write Scala that is compiled to Verilog(?) and you put it into your synthesis toolchain. But Chisel is mostly just that: it's a HDL, and not much more. And if you want to talk to an FPGA, especially from software, you still have to write another pile of glue that does interfacing to your device, over your peripherials, etc.

Spatial gives you more on top of Chisel. Instead, you simply write a single program and say "Accelerate this bit", and it generates both the hardware and software and glues it all together. This means you write a single program once and the compiler generates all the glue for you, so the usage is more seamless.

This is what "SDSoC" from Xilinx does, but for C/C++. You simply write a C program and annotate functions as "Accelerate" and it compiles both the hardware and software for you and generates the interconnections. Spatial is like that, for Scala.
It's a question of liquidity, not of "market cap".

You think this leave is his choice? I haven't seen anything indicating this was initiated by him or that he was setting the terms of the leave. Further, the board explicitly put in place reduced responsibility after he comes back. This seems very much imposed on him.

On a side note, I would love to see sources that show this is really voluntary. I am very curious about this. I actually think the real reason for his ouster is Uber's in ability to become profitable. A voluntary departure would undercut my thesis and I think it is always important to correct analysis.
The problem seems to be that no German bank I know of support 2FA for login purposes which is what that list tracks[0] (although they don't state that clearly – it took me a few minutes to track that down)

But listing "Sparkasse" as one German bank is misleading as there are 400 independent banks sharing that brand with different policies. They use at least a few different backends for their online system although there seemed to have been some consolidation in recent years.

I've gone down that dead end. 1. Spend weeks researching the company, 2. Craft the perfect (after a few drafts) resume and cover letter tailored directly to that company, 3. Meticulously make sure all the online form fields filled in. Subsequently receive an auto-reply 10 minutes after you submit it with a generic "We considered your application and decided NO." E-mail. All it takes is a few of these, and I would be an idiot to continue to believe it's about taking the time and tailoring your application.

To me they were one of the first examples I picked up on of how bad the Republican vs. Democrat divide is getting in America. They'll use principles to argue a certain stance, but then tear those exact principles to pieces when used to argue a different stance. If it's an issue I haven't looked at before and I don't know who proposed it, I would have no way of knowing where party loyalists would fall on an issue because it all seems so inconsistent compared to the values they claim to believe in.
More than anything, an up right vehicle with a hatchback is likely slotted into the SUV category.

The utility of the roof for carrying cargo is not a factor for determining private passenger vehicle category.
A thought occurs to me about source versus consumption formats. It would seem to me that source code should be the distribution format. That way, the recipient can choose their own preferred consumption format.

When I first heard about HTML, described in some magazine article, it was touted as a way to give people a chance to have their own unique readers. For instance, a blind person might want to have their own HTML reader, that uses the hierarchy of header tags to help them navigate the document.

Today, my impression is that HTML and its successors are treated more like a general purpose programming language intended to drive visual-specific browsers. This is why we have to create target specific web pages (e.g., mobile and desktop), rather than let each target's browser render generic pages.
thats like saying that the value of gasoline is less than zero because you could just walk the distance without polluting the environment.

computing power is inherently valuable. the value of AWS is less than zero because you could just buy a computer and do the computation cheaper at home. duh.
That's a different statement: OP is alluding to the fact the measure of Q is 0 when using the "standard" sigma algebra on the real line, while you are saying that the measure of a number of 0.

[edit] strictly speaking, you would restrict yourself to a bounded interval, e.g. if you pick a random number from a uniform distribution on [0, 1], the probability that this number is rational is 0.
Of course very few usage patterns can avoid swap entirely, but in general, avoiding it is faster than hitting it.
I was not aware of this. It definitely would suck if Things 3 had a low rating, but I just looked it up on the App Store and it has a 5 star rating. Yes, negative reviews can be very damaging, but (at least on iOS 11) not only does it say "5.0", it also says "Editor's Choice" and "#38" so I would argue that Things 3 was not really damaged too much.
The elections were "unhackable" when a Clinton victory seemed inevitable.

Then Trump won the election, and Russia's meddling (and I'm certainly not saying that they weren't) became the go-to excuse instead of addressing the various 800-pound gorillas in the DNC room.

This is merely a continuation upon that theme: that if it weren't for a third party's involvement, Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the United States, therefore the current Chief Executive is less-than-legitimate.

This is all about political posturing; in four years, the voting process will be no more secure than it is today.
I signed up for the mailing list a year ago, and I don't think they've ever offered me access to their alpha. They've been around for 2+ years and don't seem to have a product that's accessible yet.

There's a discontinuity in transaction pricing caused by the fact that Bitcoiners are hitting a hard 1MB limit on the blockchain.

It's kind of like the situation with airliners: If there are empty seats left, it's cheap to add another flier. However, once the seats are all taken, it gets extraordinarily costly to get another passenger on board, to the point that they have to violently evict someone to make a spot available.

That expectation would be wrong. Most Ubuntu users either have a more technical friend that picked the desktop environment for them or they are developers.

I have seen hundreds Ubuntu desktops the last couple of years. Seeing unity was the exception.

Why do you think Canonical moved away from Unity? After the effort and money they invested? Its because such a large group of users was actively avoiding it (myself included - although i like many of its design elements in isolation the execution, the thing being a compiz plugin and the user iteraction design was just unbalanced).

It actually has this Vista like quality where the trade off between power users and casual users ended up worse for both. The unity desktop wasnt the best choice for any group of users, although it may have been the best compromise.

If Canonical has any sense, they just focus all their energy on being the best desktop for developers and monetize from that perspective. The years they wasted trying to compete for a market (desktop consumer) that was going to be eaten from every direction.

Well hindsight is easy i guess
The issue with cutting a deal with Japan, as I see it at least, is that there are all these other countries where you now have to answer the question "Well, if you were willing to deal with _____, why not me?" As it appears that Japan has a deal that Canada, or America for that matter, can't get, now Airbnb is going to have to explain why, beyond being (so far) successful in playing different sides against each other.

In an alternate universe where Apple doesn't launch the iPhone, do you think the company would still be nearly as relevant in 2017? Getting annoyed at Apple for embracing mobile in 2007 is a fools game - if they hadn't made the iPhone, one of their competitors would have gotten close enough eventually and drastically reduced Apple's stature in the industry. Complaints like these remind of the Mac OS 9 holdouts when OS X was so obviously the future.
I agree. I think that the pricing is fair for when you have paying customers on the system (at least for my business model), but the 7 day trial isn't really enough time to do a proof of concept to see if Keygen would work for me. I know most companies will extend your free trial if you ask nicely, but ugh. I should have a free option available until I get to Prod.

That's my thinking as well: just re-brand string theory as math. It's not as though string theory will be testable anytime soon, so the criteria of verification is just hurting the field.
> only an idiot would continue to believe it's about taking the time and tailoring your application

Personal attacks aren't allowed on HN and cheapen your response.

Many other commenters, including myself, are responsible for hiring and immediately discard applications that aren't tailored.

When someone spends time customizing their application, it means my company is near the top of their list. That indicates a higher potential for a good fit.

If someone is mindlessly applying, there's a good chance they're wasting time for both of us. Only a big, badly-run organization would hire people from pools of robo-applications. I've never heard of any organization that has been happy hiring someone who did no research on the company ahead of time or didn't really care if they got the job or not.
"Tulips have SOME intrinsic value. If doomsday comes, the world is over.. a toolip can be planted outside your house and it looks a little bit more pretty. Or maybe you can eat it."

That's an argument that they don't have intrinsic value, but only value contingent on their ability to look pretty or eat them, both things which themselves will depend on where you are on the Maslow hierarchy and your needs for food vs. decoration.

Same for your argument about gold.

Intrinsic value is not contingent on your needs, and, well, this is why it does not exist and there isn't anything that has intrinsic value and indeed the very concept is incoherent when you try to nail it down. Nothing has intrinsic value; it is all relative to some entity's desires or needs.
It seems like firebase for dart is the preferred 'backend'. Do you know when dart will get a native compute engine support on gcloud?
No, I don't think that matters. However, I see the walled garden as a much bigger issue. Apple wouldn't let a new, disruptive technology along the lines of browsers/bittorrent/bitcoin into its App Store unless it already had widespread adoption. If most people replace their open PCs with closed phones or tablets, that's never going to happen. It's a giant bollard in the path of technological progress.

Fortunately, it looks like the open-ish Android model is winning out. Maybe Apple will change their mind at some point.
OK. My experience was at Lock Haven University but I was thinking that it would be cool if by random happenstance, I was reading a story about an event I had attended.
Awesome = fun to shoot. I have a 50 BMG and multiple black rifles. The only reason I don't have full auto is they are too expensive, but I have shot them many times.
How is HN less capitalist-friendly? Articles about high valuations, venture capitalists, raising rounds, praising mega corporations like amzn, fb, Google, etc. often get to the top without many criticizing remarks. Many HNrs benefit greatly from capitalism and its mechanisms like raising capital or stock market while working for very large corporations.

Finally.

> Membership inheritance from parent to child teams isn't automatic. If you're a member of Engineering and someone creates a child team called Security, team members of Engineering aren't automatically direct team members of Security.

Ok that was worded weirdly, but it makes sense. I think the wording of "parent" and "child" teams is confusing, "super" and "sub" teams is much clearer, and it makes perfect sense that when you create a subteam it starts empty, the opposite would be completely broken since the entire point of subteams would be to increase access rights.

One thing they did not touch upon though: can you be a member of a team and one of its subteams? (that would be somewhat annoying).
Yup. Been there. Done that. The numbers game gets a better result because very few companies can accurately describe what they're looking for in a position or a candidate. Unless you can directly talk to somebody with hiring authority, you're playing the same numbers game everybody else is.
Give more independence to oversight groups and more authority to the board, and institute basic, common HR practices like keeping track of complaints of employees, doing performance reviews of executives, and clarifying how promotions/pay work.

Everyone kept complaining that drivers were being paid nuts and what did Uber do? Started arbitraging between riders and drivers to get even more out of every ride.

Also, the parent says "successful startup [...] first decade." What is a valid definition of startup? Is Uber starting-up forever?

Do we need to run background checks on the guy who puts cheese on your taco at Taco Bell? Or on a window-washer? Probably not.

Do we need to run a background check on the guy who may be driving around an intoxicated woman at 3 am in the morning? Yes, yes, and a million times, yes.

Maybe also check to make sure that he doesn't have a few DUIs to his name. Or, you know, a pattern of riders complaining about their driver being buzzed. They aren't even sticking to their own policy, there.

Extraordinary. I have two kids who each have their own accounts on a couple of Macs and over the space of 5 years I have never had to clean Malware off.

1. Set them up with managed accounts
2. Use parental controls to stop them from installing things
3. Set the default browser to Safari which works better with Parental Controls
4. Try using the Parental Controls automated web filter. It's pretty good and not too stringent.
5. TALK to your kids about the importance of NOT simply clicking indiscriminately on random stuff.
I think there is a case to be made that it's a feature, not a bug. Humans have so much baggage we carry into everything we do. Is there any difference between a person who has memorized multiplication tables vs a human well trained in using a calculator? In most situations there is not, though we seem to personally value the memorization method despite the increased cost. The principle scales.

What you've pointed out is a wonderful demonstration of our need to improve measurement and testing, which humans are typically horrible at. For a good example, just look at government under any party. Policies are continually argued over when that time would be better spent developing a good test and solid measurements for policies and laws.
> Having just coded an entire website from scratch that was basically just documentation, Markdown comes remarkably close to doing what I want, except when the common format fails to meet my needs, which forces me to then have to switch to a specific flavor of Markdown in order to get something as basic as tables.

The battle is so lost that I don't even bother fighting it, but there are many nice things about reST: you have to explicitly escape html to get it passed through as html (feature/bug), tables are easy, especially the list tables, I'm used to it (feature? bug?), ...

The NRA represents 5 to 10 million lost causes, nothing like the insurmountable constitutional blocker you propose. I agree that there are many more people that have associated their personal identity with the 2nd amendment than that, I'm not sure they constitute a majority of the country.

The way I see it, step one is getting to a place where emotional appeals about grandma needing a force equalizer are dismissed more quickly than points about statistics showing that guns overall enhance violence. So experimental comments that turn some people off? Meh.
oh, yeah, but that's because although Q is dense, it is not a dense subset of R and locally that's equivalent to saying a single point is not dense in R
>>You could go on forever but really it just boils down to someone making bad decisions from inadequate knowledge and lack of foresight.

> To what level should a developer be at before joining the workforce?

> Can you create an education system that reliably produces developers at that level?

The solution is really to give junior developers a level of responsibility (and feedback) that matches their level of experience. Juniors shouldn't be making architectural level decisions or even major design decisions, nor should they be deciding _what_ to build.

They should be receiving feedback on the small-scale design decisions they do make, and exposed to the senior devs' decision-making processes so they can develop that level of knowledge. And their responsibilities and exposure to business goals and impact metrics should be gradually increased as they gain the experience to be able to make larger and higher-level decisions.
