quick review. im arriving in vegas in a couple hours so i thought id check it out.

after signing up, i'm asked to enter my flight details, which goes reasonably well until you ask for the record locator number, which is required. I have no clue what a record locator number is or where to find it, so that's as far as I got into the booking process. I literally can't continue right now, and at this point, the potentially helpful intercom is gone.

the price for Vegas would have been §305, which sounds incredibly expensive. I don't really get why the pricing is different for different airports, other than the fact that you want to fleece people for as much as possible. At least feels that way.

In order to fully take advantage of your service, I'd need to book it for both airports. That puts the price in the $500 range, which effectively doubles the price of the ticket for economy class flights. For business class flights, we are still talking about roughly 25% of the ticket, or 125% total.

Thats incredibly expensive and I dont really get the value proposition. If I travel for fun, I go through customs which takes an hour at the worst and then I walk out the hall, press a button on my app and an uber picks me up. I dont see how you can possibly speed that up. Even if you could cut out the whole customs process entirely, which I doubt is possible (picking up the luggage is the time intensive part), it would not be worth it.

If I travel for business, whatever I do at the airport amounts to a billable hour so I dont REALLY care either.

For reference, I make $20-$30k a month all things considered. I feel its expensive. Based on the value offered, I wouldnt book it. Maybe I lack a really annoying flight experience.

Now, you could argue that I'm not your target customer, which is fair. I get that there are people who make more money. But. My girlfriend happens to be wealthy. She takes advantage of services like yours. But she would never visit some random website to book that off of. When she travels, she gets picked up at home and then a whole bunch of things happen that go beyond what you offer and its being taken care of by her credit card company. At the airport, she's handed off to the priority check-in line of her favourite expensive airline and then its off to the business lounge where some concierge takes care of anything that could potentially bother her.

I'm sure that this may be more expensive than your service, but she doesnt care. Its just a line item on the credit card bill that shes not even going to look at. If you want to compete with that, go super high-end and somehow make it really easy to book. btw, she wouldn't know her locator number thingie, either.

If you want to just do the thing you do, I believe it needs to be cheaper. Or at least make the pricing consistent so that I dont feel like I'm getting fucked for flying into vegas.

>> China was to take HK regardless and do as it pleased.

No. The HK handover was part of a treaty, the Sino–British Joint Declaration, in which the Chinese government agreed to let HK remain mostly autonomous for 50 years after the retrocession.

The current status of HK is the result of, and guaranted by, a treaty between two sovereign nations. China is not meant to do 'as it pleased' here.
Interesting. Quick question though:

tau@eletron:~$ lax -c '((x-1) ** ((x-1)/(x+2)))/(y-z+k-e+w)'
\frac{\sqrt[\left(\frac{x-1}{x+2}\right)]{\left(x-1\right)}}{y-z+k-e+w}

That does not make sense to me. Why do you use a root here? A root with that long of a degree just looks weird to me [1].

And even if, does the degree of the root not have to be inverted? I.e.:

x**(y/z) == \sqrt[z/y]{x}

It's incredible that for someone stressing work-ethic and the implicit "responsibility" associated with them, you won't even take responsibility for your own words.

In multiple child comments you've now claimed things like what you say here:

> All I said was: Some people have bad work ethic

No, that's not "All you said". The proof is right there in your original comment. You actually said

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

and

> Work ethic is a huge part of the problem,

And the point people keep making to you is that this is false. And I can't speak for others, but the reason why it bothers me so much to see people repeating it is because so frequently the people I've seen who are the loudest at saying it and repeat it the most, often have just as bad and often worse "moral failings".

I don't know you, and I won't judge you from what you've posted here - however I do have to say that the fact you keep attempting to shirk from and minimize away from your own comments isn't exactly breaking that trend to my eyes.

Society is complex - and the claim that the reason the poor are poor is mainly/mostly/primarily due to moral failings is flat out false.

>> write your own separate distributed cryptocurrency system

You don't need "cryptocurrency system" for most of the cases, do you? E.g. you don't need to solve double spending problem if all you want is a decentralized forum / messaging app / video chat. I'm not a decentralization expert but it seems to me, DHT has worked so far. And its advantage over Ethereum is that users don't have to buy some currency and pay for every message. They subscribe to the content they like and support it by hosting it. It's easy as that.

You need Ethereum if you want an easy ICO, but if it's a bad thing now, then I don't know why would anybody use it.

You're really barking at the wrong tree here. The user of the memory-unsafe language isn't at fault here for doing things the implementation will utilize stack for. The language specification -- the contract between him and the implementation, never stated or implied that he is responsible for making sure that these objects on stack aren't accessed in larger than page sized increments. The word "stack" never appears in the C specification.

At a source level, these programs may as well be 100% bug free.

This is nothing more than a quirk of implementation. And one that affects all languages that use the stack (and by which I mean the stack, not some heap-allocated structure the language provides stack-like operations on). Memory safety doesn't really enter the picture.

No, CSS is a presentational / style-sheet language.

HTML5 and CSS3 together can provide a Turing-complete environment, but on its own CSS is just absolutely not a programming language.

There are no "CSS programmers" and regardless I don't even know of any web developer who gets paid to only write CSS.

The main downside is the lack of phone choice...basically only the Google flagship phones (Pixel and Nexus...not the worst choices) because of something to do with the radio hardware they use.

> If I control the stack pointer and can write to where it points, I can write to arbitrary in process memory. Sure!

But you don't usually have that sort of control. Normally you'd use something like a buffer overflow on a stack allocated buffer.

This thing is a problem even if you have no buffer overflows on stack and do not have arbitrary write access to anywhere on stack.

What's happening here that the program gets confused about how large its stack is, and keeps utilizing more memory than it should for the stack. But that memory is allocated for heap objects, so a simple write to one of these (not requiring any sort of buffer overflow or other such bug to exploit) could be used to smash the stack.
Upgrading from 3 to 4 is not required. Version 3 is still maintained. It's not ideal since there will probably be no future major 3 versions, but no one is forced to make a 'big breaking change' strictly speaking.

I agree with all of the major points of your comment, but I have a quibble:

> Rails was designed at a time before angular brought the SPA into fashion

I dunno that Angular is the relevant point here. Rails (late 2005? I think?) post-dates the public existence of Gmail (public April 2004), a wildly popular SPA. It also post-dates the existence of Google Maps (early 2005). The famous blog post by Jesse James Garrett that coined the acronym "AJAX" is also from early 2005.

The thing that Rails does well was already largely-obsolete before Rails was open-sourced. (Though that is one state-of-the-art buggy whip! Very impressive!)
This is a persistent myth that needs to die, AWS was not built to host their websites, and indeed did not do so for many years after it was established.

A forward is just a future that isn't standardized and not traded on an exchange. Forwards are over the counter contracts that are written for each deal.

Forwards came first. You would go to an investment bank tell them you wanted to hedge whatever you had and they would write up the contract between you and them. Obviously there is no secondary market for these things and two contracts could have different terms in them.

So futures were invented. They standardized the underlying product (e.g. a type of wheat, a particular duration on bonds, a fineness of metal, etc), the expiration date, the delivery location (or financially settled), and the size. Now since all these contracts are fungible a market can be formed to trade them back and forth.

Those are basically the only differences.
