If I am flying to Austin I am not going to bother with "local competitors". I just want to know whether "Uber is in Austin" or "Uber is in Russia". Yes? I will factor this into my travel plans. No? Not going to even bother. The barrier of entry for an app to MY iPhone device is very high. The barrier of my trust into a company is even higher. However much somebody might like to hate Uber, it is irreplaceable, precisely because they are manically expanded into everywhere in the world.
Poor name choice.

Apple would dividend most of the profits to hundreds of thousands of investors. Those investors will often reinvest those dividends to or leave them in the bank, both of which drive capital investment in the US, higher productivity and creates better jobs.

The US corporate tax rate is one of the highest in the world, making the US one of the most costly places to invest. Taxing investment instead of consumption is directly lowering our standard of living.

The fact that our taxe rates on individuals working overseas is stupid too doesn't mean we should fix the corporate tax rates. In fact corporate tax rates should be zero, as you don't want to tax reinvested capital, and if profits aren't reinvested they are paid as dividends, and you can tax dividends at ordinary income rates to restore progressively to our tax system.
It's a whole different matter, though. Using automatic machine translations is still not what is done here, and you can't compare human translations with that.

Regarding legal expertise, I or anybody else could go through this with a lawyer next week and have a review, including a "pull request" of required changes, no more than a week later.

For the translation, of course the process was not copying and pasting words into Google Translate one by one and using the result. The translation process has been much more thorough.
I think you can easily separate understanding risk from being disappointed that the risky outcome occurred. It's the difference between knowing (or not knowing) that as a poker player, getting it in preflop with AA vs KK is a great idea, and being sad that your opponent spiked a K on the flop for a $5,000 pot.

Now, good poker players do talk a lot about not being "results-oriented" (even if your AA is rivered by KK, you played the hand well if you got the money in before that), and many players will tell you that the way to do this is to cultivate a sense of detachment about money coming in and out. I certainly try to avoid being sad when I lose a big hand; such is life. But being sad isn't the end of the world, so long as you got the money in good and continue to do so.

While, we are at it, Indian Health Service is also a US government health care provider. Since its now July, the documentary "Don't get sick after June"[1] is a bit more timely. I do question people's logic that if the government is so poor at providing health care to Veterans and Native Americans, how they can scale it and get it right for everyone. It doesn't matter how other governments have done it as we are talking about the USA.

I think your mindset is a symptom of imposter syndrome. This is a common problem for developers. It makes them think that they are unworthy of their rewards or that most of their achievements are insignificant or fraudulent.
Well what exactly do you mean by latency? Say 8 cores are randomly accessing memory. A quad channel system will have twice the throughput of a 2 channel because there can be twice as many cache misses being handled at once.

For this reason many generations of HEDT and server chips have had 4 channels for many years and are quite justified. Take a 5 year old opteron or xeon for instance, or even an sandy bridge ( i7 like the i7-3820). Sandy bridge is 5 generations old, if 4 channels was justified then it's definitely justified today with today's faster and more numerous cores.

The X-series is new branding, but Intel has been selling i7 chips with the LGA-2011 socket supporting 4 memory channels for years.

So sure if you are cache friendly, great, as many cores as you can fit in a socket. But many applications aren't that cache friendly.

I think it's very reasonable to be concerned about the level of influence YC has amassed. I'm not super concerned because I had raised funds in the valley before YC existed and I'm pretty confident that YC is a massive improvement for founders. But either way: sure, YC is very powerful.

I would just push back on the idea that it's somehow out of bounds for them to have lists of potential business partners they won't want to work with in the future. Businesses do this all the time. All YC has done here is actually told us about one of those lists.

I don't even understand how self-driving cars would help Uber. It seems their biggest advantage is their experience with managing all the different ways human drivers can screw up.

The day Mercedes ships the first self-driving car, it will come with "Go make yourself useful"-mode where it shuttles other people from A to X. There'll be dozens of almost identical services that handle the transactions and insurance for 3%-4% of the revenue.

Nothing Uber has done so far will be helpful in such a world. Because you won't need to manage humans, to grope women, or to break workplace safety laws in such a business.
That didn't read like a fizzled case. It reads like Waymo opened up by throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Uber, and now as the case is progressing, the number of legal fronts being fought is getting reduced to a manageable number that Waymo was expecting in the first place. It's unsurprising that the patent parts are getting reduced, since the obvious allegation was theft of trade secrets anyway.

I worked at Nest. This blog post is full of BS.

For example:

"For the record, I read several stories about the Nest Protect going into permanent alarm, and you know what my hunch is? The same thing I always assume: "Dumb Linux crap." The culprit was probably some shell script that opened /opt/smoked/detect and output 1 to it and then left the file locked so nothing else could touch it or forgot to delete a pid file or whatever. This is what I always assume when I read about Linux integrated devices screwing up, and on the occasions I've actually heard what the cause was I usually end up right."

As I mention in a separate comment, iFixit's teardown identifies the 100Mhz, 128kB RAM MCU which is the Protect's brain. Such a device does not run Linux. Had the author done any research at all, they would have found this.

Instead, they waded into an unfamiliar topic with the knowledge of a novice and the arrogance of an expert - precisely the accusation they level against Nest.

Furthermore:

"The Smart device engineer does not begin by disassembling ten smoke alarms to see how they work. They do not begin by reading papers written by fire chiefs and scientists. They do not look at the statistics on fire-related deaths with and without smoke alarms of different eras (although the marketing department director does)"

All this due diligence and much more was done. The author's lazy speculation insults me and my former co-workers.

This blog post gets lots more important stuff wrong. Suffice it to say that today the Protect is very well-rated by consumers and safety professionals.

The IoT field as a whole is a mess, and deserves much of the author's criticism. Nest, specifically, does not.
YC will have to make a discoverable false statement of actual fact. They're unlikely to publish a list, and what they do reveal to YC founders is unlikely to be phrased as simply as SPLC's statements about Nawaz.

I think this is less likely to be legally complicated than you think. Consider: YC has been doing this for years already.

Ask HN: How do I fix my posture after years at the computer?
My posture is absolutely horrible.

I have a pretty bad postural kyphosis (hunched back) that can only get worse if I keep being at the computer the whole day.

I read some stuff about how to fix it (exercising your neck, etc.), but I don't feel like that would solve anything.

I've seen people work standing up, sitting on an exercise ball, resting their feet on a footboard, etc.

How do you guys do it? Is there something relatively easy that I can actually implement and keep doing?
Did you read the article you linked? First two paragraphs:

> Waymo, Alphabet’s self-driving car division, dropped three of four patent infringement claims in its lawsuit against Uber Technologies over the startup’s autonomous vehicle program.

> Waymo’s decision to include patent claims in its lawsuit against Uber was a surprise move for Google parent Alphabet, which normally prides itself on limiting patent fights. The bulk of Waymo’s case is not over patents, but trade secrets.
If the user of the data insists on a time horizon of 'since our founding', then yeah, there's an opportunity cost to keeping all of the data. The one people usually miss is that it takes log(n) time to update or insert a record because you have to update all of the indexes. So when you have 1000 times as much data, every insert takes 10x as long as it did at the beginning. Or you use partial indexes and it gets maybe 2 times slower which the users probably won't notice.

So people just give up and exfiltrate all of the data to another server to run their reports on. But as a user I still want to be able to figure out 'did I do that thing in February, or was it March?' fairly often.

One thing I've always wished database replication systems did (universally) was allow you to run different indexes on different replicas, so you don't have to export the data at all. Your insert time would still be a function of network delay + worst case index update time, but you could segregate traffic based on kind and continue to scale to a fairly large company before anyone had to mention data warehousing or data lakes.

Awesome! Yup would like to browse the schema.
Totally aware of that. Reviewing individual translations again, and repeating this from time to time, is definitely something that can and should be done in the future.

So there's obviously an easy fix to the problems you outline, which are no fundamental problems.
I guess it depends on who gets to define what ‘best’ means and whether not not that limits who’s considered. Deliberate or not.
Risky? In most discussions I've seen on the subject, Uber was mentioned as one of the least risky startups one could join.

...is it? i guess my interpretation of saying 'unfortunate' here is that there is some kind of sentimental attachment or something.

are there legitimate practical issues?
Not even the same sort of thing. I hope Maajid Nawaz wins, because SPLC has abandoned universal ideals and has become short sighted and partisan. However, it's also within the rights of people and organizations to associate or not associate. It's not like they're a bakery. Their business isn't to sell a cake to any presentable customer who can afford one. Their business is to select and foster winners in starting businesses, and staying clear of controversies is certainly germane to that.

EDIT: When it comes to conferences and professional organizations, I think those things are more like a bakery than like YC. A programming conference is in the business of fostering discussion of and dissemination of information about programming. A code of conduct is fine for such an organization, but a politicized code of conduct has no place in such an organization. There's something clearly wrong with politicized code of conduct in a non-political organization that makes a subset of its members uneasy. There is no place for intolerance in a liberal humanist multicultural society, and people who want to use the bureaucracy of non-political organizations to alienate their political opponents are intolerant people who have given up on convincing people. Such people want to bully people into doing what they want. What they are doing is only the softest form of intolerance.
Could it not be that the correlation is that geographical regions with higher incidence of Aedes Aegypti would have higher likelihood of having Zika outbreaks and would also have local governments more inclined to pursue mosquito reduction efforts?
Filesystem snapshots are part of it. Forking yes. Merging no. You can configure it to ingest incremental backups as well as realtime transaction logs, which means you can go backwards/forward in time all the way down to the individual transaction. It's quite cool!

That's what you get for going to a research school: grad students teaching classes. I went to a non research school (a CSU) back in the early 2000s, and all classes were taught by real professors, but it isn't as prestigious as a Stanford or Berkeley. Beyond that, the teachers for night classes were all from industry. I took a graphics class taught by someone who previously worked on OpenGL at SGI, a database class taught by someone who was at the time working on DB2 at IBM, and a j2ee class taught by someone who at the time was working at Sun Microsystems.
You can do all those things in Gephi. Just give each node/edge those attributes and you can filter/query by them.

Those tweets look like they are taking events massively out of context and adding assumptions. I could see someone asking someone else to watch their kids. That happens often in real life if someone is genuinely warm person and is usually a joke/compliment.

The second one I 100% doubt it went that way. There is no way a VC would ever say to someone "hey can you find a white male to replace you as ceo of your company? thanks!". That is some serious r/thatHappened material.

Given the rest of Adora's tweets she comes off as extremely focused/biased towards women's issue and harassment. I don't know her but I wouldn't be surprised if she embellished events to fit her agenda.
Unlike with Python and similar single-threaded languages you can actually avoid a lot of the complexity of having async everywhere by using the CpuPool reactor for Rust futures.

I imagine Rocket, when it gets its async support, will have the ability to use callbacks to create fully async routes, but the halfway compromise until then will be to have async-dispatched routes that are themselves blocking to a very large threadpool. As long as you have enough generated threads to rarely get all of them stuck in blocking IO you get all the benefits of concurrency without having to callback every IO operation in a route handler.
I can't speak for LA, but I know many apartment-dwelling renters who are also NIMBYs. It's a general fear of change us humans have, coupled with in many cases for property owners a direct financial reward for resisting change.
Yeah, should have put more thought into it then I did. But I guess its to late now.
There are other ways to offend someone from Eastern Europe, or more generally almost any country. It's not unusual for some painful recent history to be still a raw nerve.

Slavery is a significant topic in the US. It was a prelude to the civil war; it was abolished within recent memory; and the echoes of racist sentiment still affect the lives of millions: people alive today remember segregation, and both casual and systematic discrimination against African-Americans continue to occur.

This is not a big deal in Poland, which has no such extensive recent history with slavery.

But - for example - in 2015 the Russian ambassador in Warsaw was excoriated in public and summoned to the foreign ministry for his remarks partly blaming Polish policy in the 1930s for contributing to the start of WW2 and the subsequent death of millions of Poles. Now that was a raw nerve.

A different standard does not mean the absence of standards. People who fail to see that, and then mock others, are simply demonstrating a lack of self-awareness.
Can understand that reasoning, and often do the same. Though it's important to keep in mind that quality is not something that can only be achieved by paying any random party some amount of money.

Wait, have you been listening to the people who say that atheists have no morals, because all morals come from religious teaching?

The middle-aged atheists I know are mostly in families with children. And they seem to have similar beliefs as religious people when it comes to the amount of care they take raising their children.

If you bring up generalizations like this with no backup details, are you surprised that you "get attacked" for bringing it up?
I don't know about that. My last job, awful awful company, flat out refused any semi-decent raises. 1.5% was a common yearly raise (only after we were bought out by an international pharma, prior 5% was pretty standard).

I asked for a large raise, 20%, but I had the numbers to back them up. For 1.5 years I completed 2x the work everyday as the average person in my department. I was pulled around for awhile before they refused and said they would evaluate at the next raise cycle...and I managed a 4% raise (which included a promotion).

It was pathetic. If I was in sales it wouldn't be a problem, but I didn't have the leverage so they screwed me over. I left a few months after and even a couple years later the company is in a downward spiral (they sold off the division I used to work in - guess fucking over all your employees and forcing all the competent ones to leave results in lower profits over the long term).

So, I think "people don't ask for raises" is a very dubious claim.
Or I'll just grab a cab at the airport like I always have. Same with many other cities.

Allowing repatriation would bring at least $2 trillion in capital back into the U.S. These are profits earned overseas, and trapped there because you lose half of them to taxes if you try to bring them back to the U.S. Bringing it back means a tidal wave of dividends and increases in bank capital, which are reinvested and lent to US businesses to make them more productive and create better jobs.

If you really think that money sitting in bank accounts, stocks and bonds does nothing, you simply don't understand anything about the economy. Doing it the U.S. instead of Ireland or the EU is a big deal.
