Yes, yes, it's become a cliche to point this out. (See: every comment posted as of this moment.)

But that's not the real lesson here -- we now see that this stonewalling/gaslighting didn't even help the company, since HR were so hardcore about being so kafkaesque that Uber got stuck with a major PR scandal that cost numerous managers they were ostensibly protecting!

That's a particularly nasty kind of frustration -- not simply when someone opposes your goals, but does it so confusedly that they're hurting themselves in the process and yet you're still powerless to stop it! (Anyone can relate to Fowler's experience if they've had to deal with that kafkaesque, self-hurting bureaucracy "that will make you look bad if anyone actually takes an interest in the case".)

So no, it's not enough to dismiss this case as "HR protects the company,"; that logic wouldn't explain why, in this case, they "protected" the company by doing extremely risky things that could blow up badly.

"Virtue Signaling" is the most asinine, mean-spirited concept invented since about the middle ages. Its only ever used as a blanket dismissal of others' opinions, even going so far as to blatantly use the moral strength of an argument as a weapon against that argument.
Honest question, is this $100M deal even that big for the parties at hand?

Will they spend all of this money on making ads or is this the sum that Snap will actually receive as payment?

I hate to say this, but the startup graveyard has a really huge section filled with every company who has tried to do this kind of thing. you feel like there should be a way to improve on something that people are already passionate about, and that would naturally lead to high adoption. But, a lot of great attempts have just never gotten peoples' attention.

What's more, all the things that obviously would make money are probably already saturated by something that Amazon does.

It's a real shame.
I also wonder why the prices are largely in the same ballpark irrespective of the airport. This seems a mostly labor intensive offering, and labor costs are much lower in, say, India.

I think you underestimate how much a bike is more like an umbrella or coat to us than it is a transportation vehicle. But I do agree that in places where it's more like the latter, your comment applies. The nearest equivalent I can think of in Holland is the 'scooter' (moped?).

That said, you're now making me curious to what degree this applies to other cities, even just cities that are known to be bike-friendly. In how many cities is it normal (or even possible), like in Holland, to use bikes in this ways?
>If I could isolate and attack individual members of the cluster quickly, I could begin to leverage their role in the cluster as they join, convinced that a single block must be true.

To do this you would need to have the equivalent hashing power of the network. Peers expect an nominally equivalent amount of Proof of Work for the difficulty adjustment. You would also need to guarantee that the peer connects to _no other_ peers

Your thinking is good adversarial thinking but it's already covered in the protocol.
Data structures and algorithms are possibly the hardest part of Rust to dive into unless you have a really good reason. The best advice for newbies is to learn with other stuff and use existing algorithms. Of course, if you are trying to implement stuff for a class or something similar then you might be out of luck, and might consider trying the Rust IRC and such to work through the errors as they come up.
They are reselling local services. The costs are going to be space in the airport + paying for customers to cut queues, which airports will already be selling to airlines. Staff costs will be a minor component, I suspect.

This is a huge personal revelation. I have happened to be in touch with the parent poster via HN and they are simply an intelligent, thoughtful, person with important and good opinions on whatever topics they write about.

I hope you resolve your issues with housing soon. As you write, you have a lot of capacity for high-level work.

I increasingly believe time travel (itself an artifact of life inside culture, itself an artifact of language brains) is our biggest differentiator from primates. This simple machine for 10-second time travel is quite powerful. Addicts are finding the 5-second machine useful for controlling cravings. https://melrobbins.com/the-5-second-rule/

I am not familiar with this phrase, what does it refer to? Or are you referring to my current favorite programming language and the need for it to go mainstream? ;-)

You can also have another perspective on this: with the lack of investments in moonshots and every less actual work to do, we are now entering the "entertainment industry" phase of our society.

You could argue that Netflix creates the on-demand-video equivalent of long form writing, youtube spans from that to shlock novels and comic books...so with vine gone (it's still gone right?), maybe snapchat or instagram will fill the video equivalent of tabloids spanning to facebook posts.
are you thinking of pyv8?
I read it as 20km each way, 40km total. I agree that a 10km each way trip is far more reasonable. In fact that's only slightly longer than my 5 mile bike commute, and I bet they have fewer 90F (32c) and 80% humidity days than we do here.
T-mobile also routes though a Texas VPN when you're out of the country, which has its tradeoffs (super annoying latency, but no censorship in places like China).

I doubt anyone thinks all failure is a result of bad work ethic. Of course much is due to mental illness, disability, etc.

But a huge proportion of poverty stems from bad work ethic.

Some of the places in the USA with the highest underemployment are also places where employers are offering decent unskilled jobs and can't find enough workers. The worker gets hired, shows up for a few days, and then starts just not coming to work, randomly. Or he comes in later and later each day, arriving hours late. Or he takes breaks that extend to hours long.

Work ethic is a huge part of the problem, and the constant denial that many poor people (not all) do have everything they need to lift themselves up, and simply choose not to do so, is itself a denial of their human agency and ensures that the policy/cultural changes that could lead them out of poverty are not made. Ultimately, it's staggeringly harmful to them.

In the end the wealthy and the poor both have to make changes to end poverty. It's a team effort. It's not up to a rich savior class to come and fix the dirty people from the outside.

(I'm convinced that many wealthy people don't understand this because they really can't imagine what a true lack of worth ethic looks like; they've just never been at close range with it for an extended period of time and had to face up to the fact that it is a real thing and it is harmful. Ultimately that's a consequence of the closed social bubbles we live in now; we just don't know the other classes because we're so isolated from them.)

The clarity of these kinds of comments on HN makes me so happy. In the Trump-era, it warms my heart to see there are still plenty of intelligent people who understand complex problems.

I know this is a stupid, and almost patronizing comment from me, but seriously, at this point in our society, every shred of humanity is meaningful.
When I work, I often make more than $20/hour. Not always, but often. But I am not always able to put in the hours, due in part to my health problems and in part to logistical issues from being homeless. I also have trouble promoting myself, in part because I am homeless so people online don't take me seriously, but in part because I am a woman, so a lot of people didn't want to take me seriously even when I had an apartment.

Plus, my student loan is being paid off this week. With that paid off, the odds of me getting off the street start going up. There are plenty of articles on how much of a burden student loans can be in the US. So google it if you can't fathom how that matters.

Wikivoyage is the usual resource for this. Note that much of wikivoyage is targeted towards the backpacker world and is somewhat spammy so I wouldn't necessarily use it for hotel/restaurant recommendations, but it tends to be pretty good for basic stuff like airport entries and city transportation systems.

Wikitravel is very similar - I believe wikivoyage forked from wikitravel some years back, and my understanding is that many of the primary contributors moved to wikivoyage.

I was recently doxxed on Reddit. Never posted my name, used a unique username, but after 6+ years of posting, someone triangulated the data and successfully found my full name and home address.

Even though the user was banned (several times), even though all the posts are now deleted, along with my entire comment and submission history, my username there is now permanently tied to my real name.

While it was easy for a human user to doxx me using my comment history, it's even easier for computers, who save everything, no matter how briefly it is posted, to comb through your data and determine who you are. The only way to stay anonymous is to completely avoid ever talking about anything remotely identifying

Slightly more specifically, if the stack is growing into space that the heap already owns, you don't get a page fault. So the OS assumes that the stack already owns that memory, since there was no page fault. Now if you write to the heap, you can corrupt the stack.
The Netherlands had the opportunity to hit the reset switch in the 1970s with public support, that pushed through the changes in infrastructure and culture to foster a cycling centric society.

I'm wondering if that could ever happen today, I think the motoring/oil and road lobbyists are so well entrenched and organised in governments across the world, I highly doubt it.

I live in London and would never dream of cycling here, I'd be too nervous to do it.
I'm wondering if Amazon will attempt to buy something like Costco or Bestbuy. Then they'd have both ends of the market and also have the ability to connect the big box to the relatively smaller box.

Maybe the conservatives have their own. Pretty sure they do. Ive seem some kicking and screaming with Christianity, but even in Indiana, apathy with regards to religion seems to be taking more of a hold. And there's that Starbucks cup thing.. I'm 100% sure that was social media "fake news". I never saw anyone in real life actually complaining about that, other than for a week or 2, it was bandied around everywhere.

Then again, the ones who've consistently yelled and screamed and flailed around are the special snowflake extremist liberal SJWs over perceived and non-existent slights. And yes, I'm a liberal complaining about how extremists are ruining liberalism, because what they want freedom for you to comply with them.

...for now there is a small number of of 'kids' using snapchat, but I suspect it will never hit critical mass and will be a fad platform. I know a lot of middle aged marketing types constantly using Snapchat, seeing if it make them money (even if it's just speeches about it to other marketers..)

It was, but in a vacuum. It wasn't very good when compared to other products in the market - none of these cancelled products really were.

So, what do you suggest for accountability?

Snapchat made $150m in revenue last quarter, assuming a straight 4x multiplication that's $600m in yearly revenue.

Adding $50m in revenue (nearly 10%) per year over the next 2 years is pretty substantial and you can bet the account director in charge of the TWC account is having a good day.
As for the foul weather clothing; you would need a raincoat anyhow and a pair of rain pants won't set you back that much.

I spend about €15 a month on my bicycle if I spread out the cost of purchase, clothing, and maintenance (mostly parts, I do my own maintenance, which isn't uncommon here). That's for a high quality, extra tall bicycle (I'm 2m tall) that looks presentable enough for my daily commute to work.

A student could probably manage with €3 to €8 a month.
True - it won't work in every situation. We're planning to communicate similarly to how Airbnb communicates when a host gets a booking - push notification, text message, and email at all once. In the cases where someone doesn't have data, they often are still able to receive texts (not always).

Either way, we already over-communicate to the client to make sure they know what to do. Eventually, the agent's app will be helpful too, so the agent can recognize the client if the client uploads their photo to our system.

Your idea about Wi-Fi is certainly something to explore as well.

I had a very similar experience getting my bank account verified. It took 3 weeks and two attempts. Through it all, I too never got a response from Coinbase customer service. I guess that should have been an indicator but I've heard Coinbase is the biggest in the US and had have taken $25+ million in funding; I figured they were a pretty safe choice.
Snap is just another channel.
Well, your explanation is better overall, since it's describing what's actually going on. Mine is just an analogy in case that gives someone trouble.
of course it is. just saying that they could if they wanted.
No effect, on my server, a $5-per-month Digital Ocean droplet. Using the program called Apache Bench (ab) to retrieve a file four directories deep: /a/b/c/d/e.html

With .htaccess files turned off (AllowOverride None), I got 282 requests per second. With .htacess files on (AllowOverride All) I got 286 requests per second (Yes, actually a few more hits per second with .htaccess turned on, but the results swing from test to test by a few percent anyway).
200 GBP a month is a lot of Ubering. That can be like 5-10 hours in a cab per month (depending on trip lengths). And on top of that you don't need to pay for fuel, insurance, parking, mechanic, cleaning, MOT, etc... etc...
(ok, so you mentioned "maintenance included", so that's a pretty sweet deal, actually. still not worth it and you're not comparing apples to apples)

What's your total cost that you should compare to? 600 GBP a month maybe? 700? (maybe with your deal only double the number you said)

I'd rather have "wait for uber" over "searching for parking spot" any day. Or I rent a zipcar. You could rent a zipcar every weekend and it'd still be cheaper than owning a car.

But no, I'm not in your position, and there are things you don't mention that I know about, like child car seats, that has made a friend of mine keep his car.
Is there a citation for that?
That's not because the UK are so extremely hilly and adverse mountainous terrain (it's not) but because in car centric countries, shitty bike shaped objects sold in shops like WalMart dominate the market and what sells best to that audience that doesn't really actually use a bicycle?
