Thanks for the advice.

I don't necessarily feel like I have nailed the business model right now - I'll see how it goes. More broadly speaking, I think the jury is still out on subscriptions in productivity apps. Everyone is trying to get away with it now - and it is very attractive as an indie developer.

For what its worth, I feel similarly to you. I buy year long auto-renewable subscriptions, immediately cancel them, and then resubscribe if I'm still using them next year.
That's like arguing the US dollar "struggles under the weight" of failed crowdfunded startups, ICOs being almost perfect analogues to them financially.

The only "sufferers" are the investors too dumb to do their homework. Thousands of failed real-world startups haven't killed SV's lustful search for the next big unicorn either; in both cases you have what's essentially a lottery and new suckers along every minute thinking they're going to make it big.

Yes...I remember a few years ago, with one of the algorithm testing sites, a group basically just submitted 20-30 pseudo-random predictions. One of them ended up winning, but it wasn't like the team actually had a useful algorithm, they were just playing the system because betting was free.
I think you're right. The whole thing is complex, with labour law/norm implications, entrenched and concentrate interests in dozens of jurisdictions. Also uncynically ideological objectors. It was inevitably going to draw a lot of fire. I'm personally shocked at how far and wide uber have managed to spread.

Leaving aside broader questions, I think we can take a guess at what happens after Uber gets pulled over. Someone will take their place. What soneca said above makes reasonable sense.

OTOH, I'm not sure how useful this culture of rebuke and scolding really is. I think it's a bit extreme to wish for regular corporate collapse because of scandal. Reform needs to be an option here. Then again, maybe an occasional sacrificial lamb is good for making the other lambs ride slower. If it doesn't really matter who it is, may as well be the jerk.
It is impossible for the CPU (without architectural changes, e.g. stack segment) and kernel to provide expected behavior in the general case. They do not know whether the userland process is trying to use the stack or just access some other mapped region. Indeed, as long as these accesses do not land upon unmapped space (or space mapped with permissions that conflict with the access), the kernel doesn't have any idea what's going on.

Working on it! There's no really good way to do this on the device, so I need to build out a web app. But this is the number one most requested feature, so stay tuned :)

> In other words, is this for quick one-off visualizations, or can you see someone wanting to use it to build a fully-functional web application?

I don't think that Dash will replace standard CRUD style websites. It's more for the visualization and data-science space.

The main limitation with Dash is that every interaction has to be through components with pre-named IDs. That means that Dash doesn't support apps that need to bind interactivity or updates on an arbitrary number of items (for example, a TODO app with `N` number of items where each item can be modified). In traditional websites, this is handled through URL patterns, query strings, or client-side through JavaScript. Eventually, Dash might have the abstraction of "ID groups" or "ID patterns", but it doesn't have that quite yet. This type of application is common in standard CRUD websites, less common in data-viz applications or dashboards.

In the visualization space, Dash is for both the one-off visualizations (e.g. add a dropdown to a graph) as well as more complex applications that have drill down and search that you might commonly see in something like Tableau.

Some examples:

- quick one-off visualization: https://plot.ly/dash/gallery/stock-tickers/

- more complex drill down example: https://plot.ly/dash/gallery/new-york-oil-and-gas

- the dash userguide website is itself a dash app: https://plot.ly/dash

- a dash app styled like a traditional report: https://plot.ly/dash/gallery/goldman-sachs-report/

This has nothing to do with the (un)safety of C code. The programs do not have to be buggy at the source level. The compiler is the bug.
To do that, you need to have a compiler that has the right features, and then you need to recompile all your software.

I'd agree that there are broader benefits, too.

Giving your casefile away, without receiving one in return, means the adversary is fully prepared, and you're not.

The thing is it's not "within-app" revenue. Tencent doesn't make any money from the tips; it's completely passed through. If Tencent were directly profiting from the tipping process it would be understandable. But tipping in WeChat is essentially a transaction between a send and receiver that is just facilitated by Tencent. This is akin to Apple asking for 30% of all transactions made by Venmo rather than just 30% of Venmo's fee.
It seems to vary between two extremes - people who do it and people who will only reluctantly visit a doctor when at death's door.

I think the former stems from annual checkups in childhood.

Some insurance providers/employers, I suspect for preventative reasons against the latter category above, have started incentivizing annual physicals, so this may shift, but the whole US healthcare system is in such flux I wouldn't put money down on any outcome.

I can't remember where I saw it, but recently it was pointed out that business schools are there to teach you to run someone else's business, where as startups make you learn to run your own. I think I was looking into the benefit of an MBA at the time and in the end, what do you want to do?
I'm not sure that Elm architecture really solves the fundamental problem, so much as just moves it to another layer.

If you have a big global model, with messages modifying that model, then eventually you're going to notice that many places in that model are similar. E.g., widget state for identical widgets on different parts of the page. So you tag the messages that pertain to a particular widget with some kind of coordinate into the global model, and then you call generic widget code with the local widget state as an argument, and the message, to produce a new local widget state. Congratulations, you've reinvented objects.

ANALYSIS: 26 questions the White House has promised to answer but hasn't
In the USA, where one third of births are cesarean section surgeries. US anecdote: I know someone who scheduled with her doctor months in advance the exact day and time of birth of both of her children.

The numbers are completely different in the rest of the world, e.g. 17% c-section in Sweden, half of which are emergency (vs planned). [1]

Post-patent drugs usually have insane prices due to reasons outside of what can be effectively combatted by the bargaining power of universal healthcare (e.g. regulatory capture in the case of EpiPen). That tactic is rarely necessary once generics enter the mix, as long as nothing is artificially preventing them from getting to market.
So this is my story. I didn't have the money for an attorney. Also I tried to deal with this out of court and that is expected in small claims. They only hear your side if you try and resolve it first, and that includes sharing evidence.
The elements of "fuzzy medium", "buffer", human judgement should of course always be included in any justice system.

That does not justify deliberately and systematically exploiting the slack in the system for your own benefit and to the detriment of others. Uber was and is not civil disobedience.

Its business model was to exploit every bit of available slack in the system to its own benefit and to the detriment of everyone else. Notice how the typical driver only lasts a few months there.

This is flatly unethical, and the broad-based unethical slime came right from the top in the form of scandal after scandal, which finally sunk the CEO (and rightfully so).

And NO, the ends do not justify the means. Especially not when the means are a massive unethical and exploitative company being built to accelerate by a few years the hidebound practices of a minor industry for a minor improvement in the occasional transportation convenience of urban hipsters.

And, while it of course had the minor benefit of accelerating improvement in the taxi industry, it also destroyed the business value of those in the industry, many of whom are aspiring small businesses whose retirement (value of medallion) is now 6-figure debt.

It has also probably torched billions of investment capital that could have gone to other more productive and ethical uses in the technology industry. (my bet is that Uber is in a death spiral.)

Moreover, it was completely unnecessary for it to have been so unethical. Merely remaining as a proper and ethical ride-sharing service as it (purportedly) started, would have created similar innovation at a more moderate pace.

Again, the ends do not justify the means. Not in this case and not as a general rule.

I recommend taking a few ethics courses or reading a few philosophers.

No - we don't need to preserve access to paid work.

We want to enable people to work to benefit themselves, rather then their employer.

> The value of the benefits granted by welfare programs are always eroded over time by inflation

Governments can set both inflation, and benefits. Not increasing the latter to keep pace with the former is a deliberate political choice, primarily for the benefit of the rich.

Amazon's "lock on all of that" has pretty much ruined their brand from a retail seller standpoint. They're catalogue is overrun with garbage and counterfeits. It's quickly becoming eBay. I used to look at stuff in brick and mortar stores and then buy from Amazon. Now I look on Amazon for research and buy from brick and mortar stores so I know I'm not buying Chinese counterfeit garbage.

Classics are classics for a reason, they've stood the stand of time and scrutiny as literature of value.

Reading level of the material aside, I think it's more valuable to read The Catcher in the Rye than The Hunger Games because of the subject matter and impact on popular culture.

Classic literature is genre defining and gives you appreciation for the art of novelization.

It's hard to gain an initial appreciation for reading if you don't enjoy the reading you do, which is a good argument for the bestseller list, but it's hard to gain any depth of appreciation without understanding it's roots.

You might say you like hip-hop because lil-yachty made your head bounce on the radio, but without listening to N.W.A. you can't really say you understand it.
> They cannot apply for a green card during this period

This will be a deal-breaker for over 95% of the applicants. Even though the H1B Visa is a non-immigrant visa, there was no such clause attached to it like this one.

It's what enables 1000s of immigrants (like me) every year to first arrive on a non-immigrant visa and then get the employer to petition their green cards for permanent stay or eventually citizenship. I personally know many immigrants who didn't really want to become citizens and intended to go back to their home country in 5 to 10 years timeframe, but applied for and obtained permanent residency (green card) just so that this uncertainty of resident status is eliminated.

Take that (the green card) away, why would any entrepreneur be incentivized to apply for this Visa? Because 2 or 3 * years is a very short time frame to create and run a successful startup. Why would any entrepreneur risk coming here on a temporary stay only to be banished just as the startup takes off?

* 3 = Number of years Kevin O'Leary (Shark Tank) says you give your startup to turn profitable before taking it to the back of the Barn and shooting it.

A significant amount of software development in Germany is done in German only, especially if you solve Germany-specific problems with your software (such as accessing banks). English far from being a general working language for software development here.

The software I use at work is developed by a German-speaking team based on German documentation. I think the code is mostly English although they often use German identifiers when there is no straightforward translation[0]. It's highly specific to the German legal environment and of absolutely no use abroad anyway. Translating everything twice just introduces more errors.
This is not true at all. There's plenty of code written with comments relevant to the country in question. It's not for you to decide what other developers should make their working language. I'd like to see you go to China and ask them all to stop commenting their code in Mandarin.
STUN is for signaling, but the hole-punching business is not 100% guaranteed to work, so you need TURN as the back up relay server. DTLS is needed for both p2p traffic and the replaying traffic through TURN, so your TURN server does need DTLS for its job.
Ask HN: How to validate info is shared/understood across company?
There are often times where we share info (decisions, strategy, etc) across the company, but don't have a great way to know if the right set of people got the info or understood it. It basically boils down to the telephone game and the fact that broadcasts aren't two-way so I can't confirm whether someone actually read/heard the communication.

I've thought of using short quizzes sometime afterward to get a sense of correctness and engagement, but I think that the overhead might be a bit much.

Any advice on how to close the feedback loop here? Are there any products that help with this problem?
I wanted to give people knowledge of what I went through so they would be able to avoid what happened to me.

Cornelius Vanderbilt got his start by breaking a monopoly given to ??? to offer ferry service between New York and New Jersey underbidding holder of the monopoly. He broke the law to do it and was sued. It actually was judged by the Supreme Court and the monopoly was thrown out because of Interstate Commerce (I think it decided this entire area of law, IIRC).

There are many entrenched, incumbent interests that try to make money not through healthy wealth creation but by trying to appropriate wealth through politics (e.g., granted monopolies) which to some degree the taxi industry was.

Uber and its competitors did a great service to many people and ultimately really angered monopolistic incumbents.

No, they aren't. “Job creators” aren't a thing. They are labor purchasers, but that's only incidental and to the extent that labor has no cheaper substitute for their commercial users.

That only gives them the data that's in-flight and already decrypted for processing, but any security conscious company will have their data segmented into many sections that are broken up into smaller pieces with their contents encrypted separately with a decryption key that's stored in a hardware HSM.

I only wondered why US will not open up to the countries, that are known for being safe, with well educated and easy to integrate citizens. US is opening its borders to rich countries instead of opening to safe bets to grab some tech talent.

There are numerous countries that fit this profile. The majority of Central/Eastern Europe, few Asian and South American countries, even with Africa having some. Instead, they expect for people from developed countries go through the nightmare of getting a visa, being screened and then live in places like Cali where cost of living is ridiculous. US could easily give out 1 Mil easy-to-get visas with easy-to-get transition program to a green card that would bump their economy, instead, they are creating walls everywhere.

Not if the earner centralizes their profits and hangs on to the capital - then it just furthers our wealth inequality and harms poorer Americans at the expense of wealthy visa-holders. They can still drain our system, they just do it the Walmart way.

Letting people in for a brick of hard cash seems much less likely to foster the sort of values that would result in visa holders not wanting to loot the country for a quick profit.

Group playlist for YouTube
yep, there's also an erlang implementation of prolog https://github.com/rvirding/erlog

the only different with the others is that since they implement existent languages following the spec, which means that some things don't map directly to the VM semantics and pay a little overhead, for example lua is a mutable language and the BEAM is immutable, this means that mutability is implemented by passing an immutable environment and mutating it.

This doesn't mean you can't use them, but they are mostly used as extension languages and for scripting than for complete projects.
