>If you're not growing, you're not facing new challenges.

While growth typically introduces new challenges it doesn't assume the opposite -- no growth, no challenges. Changing markets, customer preferences, and competitors' actions -- all that can bring enough challenge even when there is no growth. Even more than that -- if you're growing it most probably means that you don't have major problems with product/market fit. In case of no growth it might mean that you're losing the product/market fit and you still don't know how to fix it, which makes it very challenging.
They not only did nothing, they went to court to protect their ability to do nothing, and to keep running the ads, and to keep profiting off the kidnap and rape of children.
Video decoding is sequential, so adding more cores is not going to help.

It might actually be easier for you to get a dual core which can decode everything you want. Any high-clocked desktop Core i3 should easily handle any reasonable bitrate 4k video in any codec on the market. If it doesn't then there's something very wrong with your video decoder software.
Conflating market cap and total worth is a pet peeve of mine.

Market cap is "price of one share" multiplied by the total number of shares outstanding.

If you want to buy a small number of shares, you can probably just multiply to find the total price you would pay.

If you want to buy a large number of shares, or the whole company, you can't just multiply. You would need to get the current owners to sell to you, and they might either charge you a premium or refuse to sell. The total worth of a company depends on the distribution and type of ownership (among many other things).

Market cap is a fine shorthand, but serious analysis about comparing worth should control for several other things.

Bullshit.
Banias / Pentium M showed Intel can absolutely shift when needed.

The difference is that this is a new product category for them, rather than a new microarch in an existing category.

And from recent appearance, I'd say they're not great at building new ecosystems (IA-64, mobile, now IoT).
Forget the Amazon and eBay listings - those will the fixed, I'm sure. The real tragedy here are the forums and other non-commercial uses that may be lost forever.
this is exactly how CSS works as well

I beg to differ. There is no mapping needed for CSS. CSS works by once defining where the style shall go:

<div class=city></div>

And once what the style is:

.city {color: blue; font-family: arial;}

Similar, template syntax once defines where the data shall go:

<div class=city>{{NAME}} has {{POPULATION}} residents</div>

And once, what the data is:

city={name: "New York", population: 8491000}

Neither need additional mapping.
I hear AWS is pretty affordable. Maybe they could get a volume discount.
Automotive Grade Linux is a Yocto based distro for exactly that. I even saw job postings on LinkedIn for "AGL experience!" After I dug in a little bit, I found that it was just built on top of Yocto/OE.

As a Firefox on Linux user I checked one of those sites that tries to estimate how many bits each public aspect of your setup reveals about you. It turned out available fonts was by far the most unique aspect of my setup.
> I haven't seen anyone harping on how raising money is superior to bootstrapping

No, that's not necessary, because it's already accepted conventional wisdom. You're starting a company? How's your seed round going? Which incubator are you applying to? I know an investor friend who works for <xyz>, want an intro?
Somebody with sickle cell disease or otherwise transfusion dependent greatly benefits from electronic records, which help minimize antibody reactions (not just ABO and Rh, but Duffy, Kell, Kidd, MNS, etc)
I understand the problem is wrong priorities, where cops are engaged in busy work so they have no time to fight the actual crime.

Said busy work often concerns imaginary crime, like going after weed consumers or "computer pirates".

Often the system is either dysfunctional, and avoids crime, or crooked, and works to cover up crime.

This a very strange biased analysis.
I'm neighbors with a police officer,my best friends sister is a police officer.
People are not benign by a long shot, the police stay VERY busy,and prostitution is not a big deal in the first place so it's not a high priority.
This is silly. Blame the third-party providers on this one, for using exchange prices during a holiday when the exchanges are closed ...
Agreed, but London, as far as I could work out was pretty much anything within the M25. Not ideal.
Aha. So it protects the service via protecting the domain itself, right?

I'll have to give it a try.
Isn't such a statement without example a form of public manipulation? The NYT article that got this going only said about Sacca, "At a mostly male tech gathering in Las Vegas in 2009, Susan Wu, an entrepreneur and investor, said that Mr. Sacca, an investor and former Google executive, touched her face without her consent in a way that made her uncomfortable." And Sacca publicly responded, "Yesterday, the New York Times wrote that, back in 2009, a woman I knew well at the time accused me of touching her face at a mutual friend’s party in Las Vegas. At the time, we had known each other for years, were in a private party setting in Vegas, not a work event, with no investor-investee relationship, we were not in business together, we didn’t work together in any capacity, and I also wasn’t even a venture capitalist yet as I didn’t close my first fund until May of 2010. There was no imbalance of power between us."

Given this, would a message to Susan Fowler, concerning tweets, "That's really gross. And so many people praised him for it! Ew! No!" and "Wait, so: the day before a story is published in the NYT about him being a creep, @sacca writes a medium post about how much he's evolving" asking her to not continue attacking him be necessarily unjustified?

A message that encourages her to direct her energy more constructively towards the real perpetrators could be called manipulative, but if many would find them agreeable, they'd never be posted by Susan, as they'd reveal her to be acting manipulatively.

I chose the phrase "make initial inquiries" very carefully. It is not intended to describe a situation where men are openly and unambiguously hitting on a woman. In my experience, in delicate situations, there is a feeling out process. It isn't a bald question.

If you go back and read the article under discussion, he repeatedly asked her to have wine with him. Sometimes she said no. Other times, she said yes and it went fine. She herself was confused as to whether or not he was hitting on her. It wasn't clear to her until it crossed some incredibly unambiguous line.

If they were not working together, a woman sometimes saying yes to wine and sometimes saying no but remaining on warm friendly terms could be called dating. Studies show that it takes women longer to warm up to sex than it does men. Most men are used to having to work at getting to yes romantically. And the usual way you get there is by repeatedly pursuing social interaction. If the social interaction goes well, your hopes that it might lead to sex are not dead yet.

Given that fact, it isn't crazy for a man to interpret these situations as a potential budding romance -- unless you posit that she was ONLY there to do business and needed contact with him because of his position of power.

I am generally pretty sympathetic to the man's side here, so it aggravates me when I so consistently get accused of BS like this. Because when I try too hard to make it clear I am not accusing men of anything, then I get called a rape apologist.

I keep waiting for my long track record of even-handed remarks on the topic to pay off and get me interpreted as not a man-hating bitch. I am beginning to think that is expecting too much of the world.

I feel strongly this is very much a situational problem. But no one seems to want to hear that. People are too busy lining up on the side of the accusers and planning witch hunts or on the side of the defenders and excusing the behavior. And then everything I say gets interpreted through a lens of "which side of this war are you on?" The answer is "Neither. I would like to broker a peace deal." And that message goes unheard by people whose minds are made up, and don't confuse them with the facts.

To abstract it a bit further, the banknotes and coins you have in your wallet are also just tokens of value, just widely more accepted than cryptographic signatures. I have a hundred trillion dollars, Zimbabwean, in my wallet, and its worth comes just from the novelty. Although their government did try to enforce the value of their currency once by threat of violence, so shops were forced to give up TVs for worthless pieces of paper...
Ugh, apparently I can't math that early in the morning. :(
Inside a $50M Dollar Startup
It's more the other way around, no? It's easy to get that cashier job if you're fresh out of high school, but no one wants to hire a college-educated 25-year-old to do that, since they'll just be gone in a month when they find a position that pays more than $9/hr or whatever.
Wait, what? This is an article about some people who were planning on attending a trip organized by McClure, who showed up early, got drunk and naked, and then one guy (Jesse Thomas) took pics/videos of the other (Matt Monahan) and posted it online.

How is that a clusterfuck 'from Mr. McClure'?

A core Libertarian value is individualism. So something like trafficking would be anathema to any Libertarian. Furthermore, I'm sure many would acknowledge that under a certain age it is not credible that any child has the ability to choose prostitution.

I'm not a Libertarian myself, but wanting to reduce the power of the state doesn't mean you believe in slavery.

I think the downvoter should have to highlight the part(s) of the comment that caused them to downvote. This could provide useful signal to HNs moderators and moderation algorithms on the downvoted and the downvoters to help them calibrate the system. It could also be shown to the downvoted, or to everyone so it was clearer what the downvoting was targeted at.
You missed the first sentence:

>A paragraph of well thought out text will be ignored.

I don't feel that it is necessary to have to explain in depth why having such a complex architecture for doing a simple task such as manipulating web pages is a bad thing. It would be like having to explain a joke. Moreover, such a critique would hardly be specific to React, but rather all of the current mainstream front-end web frameworks.
Honestly, this is the most surprising thing for me. Allowing page views to make HTTP calls to external hosts that aren't controlled by Amazon would let them track user behaviour across their listings. Facebook stopped that with profile images a long time ago.
Qlicket (https://www.qlicket.com) | Pittsburgh, PA & New Delhi, India | Software Engineer - Java (New Delhi Office) | Fulltime Onsite

INTRO TO QLICKET

Qlicket is an intelligent WiFi platform that enables businesses to form a dialogue with customers and gain greater real-time insights into their behavior through its patented hardware and software solution.

Today, when customers post online reviews for offline establishments, it's after they've left - when it's too late for an establishment to be able to do anything. In hospitality, for example, 90% of customers read online reviews before deciding where to stay, and one bad review can cost an establishment up to 30 lost customers or $4,000 in lost revenue.

Qlicket makes it easy for establishments to capture feedback from guests when they are signing into the WiFi network. Establishments can then read and respond to this feedback in real-time, resolving any potential concerns.

We're live in more than 100 establishments and have raised $600K to date.

This is not an apples to apples comparison. You're expecting people to run their own server?

Add in costs to maintain the server, learning how to upload files, any downtime or wrong setup costs are on the user.

You can say $399 is ransom, but that's not unreasonable in my mind. It's a $399 business cost for these sellers on Amazon, EBay, Etsy. Those pictures have earned them more than $399 in the lifetime they've had them.
Guys we need to look past sensationalist journalism linking ALL prostitution with
frickin sex slavery...and think..should voluntary prostitution be illegal?
CS is a safe bet. If you study CS at a good school and graduate well, do a bit of portfolio, and study for interview tests, you'll land a job at a large company that pays much better than what most of your peers can expect.

We tend to focus on the richest and most successful, and forget that most people really don't do that well. They don't have much power at work, and don't get paid a lot. CS is a safe bet to avoid that.

You might not like programming, and if that's the case I'd avoid it. You spend a lot of your life at work, so you'd better enjoy what you do.

Where you start your career isn't where you end up. When you get your first job it will be in a particular industry - health, auto, finance. You'll find that you can easily either move to the same role in a different industry, or a different role in the same industry. Your first job is where you start, not where you end up. And things go down as well as up if you take the wrong step.

Developers don't end up on the board of companies. Managers end up on the boards of companies, and finance people. But a developer job can pay for an MBA, and a developer can move into management, of various types, all from the security of a fairly comfy starting place.

A lot of Math majors find themselves a bad fit for any particular job. Same with physics. If they want to get a job after graduation, maybe they can become developers, but it isn't as sure a bet. If they go onto a PHD, maybe they can become quants, or data scientists these days.

Business majors either get onto a grad scheme or they might as well not have studied. That grad scheme will either carry them to the point they need to start a stellar career, or will be grunt work that pays less than a dev job and is significantly more boring.

The scary thing about tech work is how fast technology moves. You have to put time and energy into keeping up, outside of work. And for a lot of people, with families, that's very hard to do. It's really tough. I notice this way of life starting to hit other sectors too.

You are at highschool and don't really know yourself yet though. So my takeaway would be that, if you choose the wrong major, you can always find your way to something else. It's just a lot easier if you're already in a decently paid job that you just don't like much.
Yes, this is very surprising. There was no reason for backpage not to remove the listing and refusing to do so could only lead to a lot more problems for Backpage.
> But certainly if the GM entity had $10B more cash tomorrow, it might not be worth $10B more, but certainly it would be worth $5-$10B more (or at the very least >0 more)?

No, again, that's not how it works. Shareholders value companies primarily based on a multiple of earnings with an overwhelming tilt toward future expectations, not based on cash. Cash can receive anywhere from a medium to a near-total discount, depending on the context & company. As an easy example: Apple's cash has stopped growing at the rate it used to (they're paying a lot of it out), while it has taken on immense debt in a short time, and its earnings have not expanded in years (in fact they've fallen as with sales, re fiscal 2016 vs fiscal 2015) - meanwhile, its stock has been given an increased multiple lately, AAPL is up 47% (adding $200+ billion in market cap, while earnings went down and debt went up) in the last year despite those theoretical negatives. Why? Shareholders mostly don't care about the accumulated debt or the slowdown in cash accumulation.

There are a few exceptions, for example if a company is under serious bankruptcy risk. That can dramatically damage the valuation given to a company via its income. In that specific case, adding a ton of cash to relieve the bankruptcy risk, can produce a greater than 1x release in value as shareholders shift back to operating fundamentals & future expectations. Valeant Pharmaceuticals is a walking example of that right now. To the extent Valeant manages to lift the dark cloud of bankruptcy off of it, their market valuation will rise (every time they announce they've paid down some debt, or sell an asset for a good price, their stock tends to spike; they have something like $29b in long-term debt and the debt interest is threatening their existence; if they magically added $10 billion in cash tomorrow, their market cap would expand by something near a 1 to 1 basis or likely greater (depending on the bankruptcy pressure, relief from it can generate an amplified upside)). Another exception example: Las Vegas Sands (LVS), the casino giant, was under serious risk of bankruptcy during the economic crash in 2009; its founder, Sheldon Adelson, decided to back the company with a large amount of money, the stock proceeded to increase by 5x to 6x in a matter of a few months afterward, due to the relief that bankruptcy was no longer nearly so likely (shareholders shifted back to valuing the company on its future earnings/growth/operating expectations). LVS gained so much so quickly, because the risk of bankruptcy was viewed as being so severe it had drastically depressed the market cap of the company.
Does anyone have an example of a detail page with an externally hosted product image? I'm like 90% certain amazon hosts its own images. I wonder if the sellers are using external URLs to upload their listings through seller central, and Amazon automatically creates the listing with the placeholder image hosted on Amazon.
What's it with the bank accounts? You can transfer money within the EU without any problems. I pay my rent in Spain from a German bank account. Though, getting wired internet is another thing, these companies seem to ignore European law.
What's most vile about police enforcement around prostitution is that it focuses quite proactively on punishing all the wrong people.

Women with few choices who need help? Proactive arrest. ESPECIALLY if they're women of color.

Free, safe people who are willingly selling a service to customers? Why, that's a crime!

But pimps? Well that's just way too much work. I still remember an Oakland cop I talked to telling me, "The best way to stop a pimp is to arrest his girls, and then he has no money and gets in trouble with his boss."

It's a truly sad state of affairs when the literal slavers are the people law enforcement feels least inclined to catch, instead focusing on punishing people who for the most part are harmless (often with profound racial biases in enforcement, e.g., the "black women in a parked car with one man is suspicious" policy in many major cities).
Is an alert enough? It sounds like plenty of the merchants are aware of the problem, but are having difficulty dealing with it.

Linux doesn't really have to since 99% of users use distributions, not LFS.

And there's a difference between gratuitous (or almost gratuitous) dependencies and must have ones. From what I read in the other comments Neo4J doesn't feel like a must-have for this project.

Plus, to be honest, Mongo, Neo4J, Redis AND Elastic Search? That's got to be overkill :)
There was an awk/perl thread yesterday too.
For most libertarians, it is a fundamental right to not have others interfere in your life. That's why murder, rape, kidnapping would all still be frowned on.

Being made a child sex slave is a pretty major violation of your liberty.
Staffing issues exist, but in general police don't prioritize pimps over johns or girls. Especially if they can get drug convictions.
Assuming that is the case and let's also assume there are no related test cases. I will just see where the method is called and try to build test cases around that. Then I can start to deconstruct the method and rebuild it without even understanding it fully. Backed on tests.

It also works if you earn $100,000 and spend $20,000.

- $500,000 (10 years of savings at 4% interest rate)
This is somewhat surprising. A relatively new feature, and not present in my current Perl.
I don't think so. Society has gotten this weird notion that with a free service they deserve more than they actually do.

It's free until they change it. If you build your e-commerce business on shaky ground (free services) there's an inherent risk it gets pulled out from under you at any moment.
Browsers consume some 10x-20x resources comparing to a native application that performs exactly the same task.
