You aren't working with a philosophical definition of valid then.

http://www.iep.utm.edu/val-snd/

An argument can still be valid with false premises. The point of using this definition is to say that if person A disagrees with the premises and person B agrees with them, that is the source of your difference, not a lack of logic like the parent comment implied.

My redefinition is not a simplification or hand waving - it is exactly the standard we use in civil cases in the US justice system. Looking up the term, it's "preponderance of the evidence" - it boils down basically to the 50/50 above. It is not at all synonymous with a coin toss.

> Preponderance of the evidence, also known as balance of probabilities, is the standard required in most civil cases and in family court determinations solely involving money, such as child support under the Child Support Standards Act. It is also the burden of proof of which the defendant must prove affirmative defenses or mitigating circumstances in civil or criminal court. In civil court, aggravating circumstances also only have to be proven by a preponderance of the evidence, as opposed to beyond reasonable doubt (as they do in criminal court).

I'm not working with the assumption that the US criminal system ever had the 100% correct definition in the first place. It is not the only legal standard in existence and questioning it should not be seen as "simply redefining" but examining further.

I agree with the caution, but the whole post is directly addressing the idea that there isn't logic in what's happening with the general trend.
Declaring that someone owns property, makes money from property and is part of an "old money" family is not character assassination. Nothing is implicitly wrong with any of that.

They have appeared to have implemented disabling instant search by simply reverting all post-instant search antifeatures:

No instant search

No steal focus on result page (and thus, no breaking backspace)

No overriding arrow key scroll into weird blue-arrow modal UI

Basically 2010 era google, all at one stroke.

The result quality is still kind of meh though.
I learned in the late 90s that the best fit for myself was to hop and hop often. I tended to stay with a company for about 12-18 months and would use each hop to increase my salary. Among my friends, the basic catch phrase was "want a 10k pay raise, get another job". This worked well on 2 fronts, your pay kept going up, and you tended to stay at the firm long enough to extract any real value to yourself in terms of interesting projects, learning a new industry etc. That just made you more attractive to the next company.
I purchased a standing desk about a year ago. I've found that I use it a lot less than I thought I would. On average, I spend about 1 hour a day standing. Why?

- I find it difficult to stand for long periods of time, much more difficult than walking or running for the same duration of time. I tend to get tired of standing after about 40 minutes, and just want to sit down. I can run for hours.

- I find it more difficult to concentrate. If I need to really think about a hard implementation, or a tricky design solution, I find my desire to sit down is very strong.

Negatives aside, I actually wish I used it more.

As I've gotten older, I've noticed lower back pain at night when sleeping. Researching the problem, it appears the culprit is tight hamstrings. Sitting for prolonged period can cause tight hamstrings, leading to lower back pain. In the past couple of weeks, I've been stretching and rolling my hamstrings, and trying to stand more. The results have been very promising: The more I stretch, and the more I stand, the less pain I have at night.

I just wish I could stand for longer periods. There's something about it that my body doesn't like, it's just draining.
Personally, I reach for Booking.com because they're simply better than most competitors.

They have a huge inventory of hotels, and they have a functional, fairly responsive search interface that isn't annoying. The last part is important — there's little in terms of popups, ads, intrusive upsells, flashy UI elements, and so on. It's not the most modern, but it's very well optimized towards finding stuff. For example, the path to seeing photos is very short (Hipmunk also does well here).

Since they're very popular, they also have the benefit of having a large repository of reviews, and I find it easier than other sites to glean, from reviews and scores, how good a hotel is compared to others. TripAdvisor comes close, but is too annoying.

Hipmunk is okay, but scores lower on usability for me than Booking.com.

OK, then that's backwards, sorry. The fact that A is hard to implement in terms of B doesn't mean that A is a "lower level" (or even "higher level") construct in the sense people usually use those terms. It just means that the two metaphors are incompatible.

Honestly I was asking the question because I thought you had some deeper point in mind I couldn't see. But you just had it backwards.
The Internet has facilitated the age of the middleman. Owning stuff is expensive. It's much easier to leverage network effects to tie consumers to producers. Why make or build anything when you can control the market by controlling the app at the end of the distribution chain?

The clear dark pattern here should also have been addressed: Kite is listed with all its shiny features, whereas the alternative simply gets called inaccurate and incomplete. Local analysis does have some clear advantages over Kite, even excluding important privacy concerns. What if you're offline or are in an area with poor network coverage?

https://kite.com/static/media/autocomplete-python-flow.690d3...

The use of dark patterns is more of a policy/"culture" thing that people won't exactly "knock" (although there was a comment on the HN thread last week about this) or demand the removal of, but it does speak to how Kite is willing to operate, not just pre-minimap fiasco, but going forward too.

Edit:

The link to the PR in the post isn't the point here, it's the propensity to write misleading copy targeted at thousands of devs who had never heard of Kite that went unaddressed. Open source is extremely trust-based (how hard was it to believe that a text editor plugin of all things was doing funny things?), and Kite needs to talk about whether it will continue to behave as a potential bad actor.

Right now, all the post contains is an apology for a PR fiasco that occurred due to something akin to a miscalculation, not a deliberate onboarding strategy.
If that's all you use it for, you are a rarity.

Of course, every example you just gave can also be done with email, and email doesn't hide things from you just because seeing them means you spend less time using email.

> Over the years, Flash has helped bring the Web to greatness with innovations in media and animation.

In reality, it was actually the opposite. Flash made the web lose a couple late before much needed features emerged by occupying space with a proprietary plugin which is among the top cause of security issues due to constant vulnerabilities.

It's sad that mozilla would take such a stance and pretend flash made the web great, or maybe they truly believe this which would explain a lot.

Thing is by 2020 it's possible firefox would have ceased to exist, when we see the speed at which it become irrelevant and how mozilla pushes for this outcome. Or maybe by 2020 firefox would have rebounded and turned around to put the user first. We'll see.
Ask HN: How do you manage your day to day work logs?
As a developer with a not so stellar memory, I feel confident to keep track of what I'm working on and the stuff that were discussed in meetings on a day to day basis as they serve as a record of things that can be revisited in the future for reference.

I've tried several solutions - Evernote, simple markdown, yaml, workflowy etc. but still haven't had a proper routine as I'm not entirely satisfied with any of the tools.

What do you folks use to track your work logs (if you do that)?

I've got CarPlay in my 2016 Golf and it's useless. Why on earth I would want my car to take over the full functionality of my phone is beyond me. The only potential advantage would be running Apple Maps on my in-dash screen if I didn't have a Nav system already, but I do. And frankly, I'd rather just clip my phone to the dash than have all phone controls taken over by my car.

From the folks that use Android Auto with the car, many of the frustrations seem the same. It seems slightly better from a functionality standpoint, but less stable.

Waze may be the game changer. If only I could buy a cheap android phone and add it to my data plan without paying a ton of money extra each month...

> to get back to pre-bubble level

Do you mean "rebubble," or is there some reason Priceline should be worth $100bn?

They do about $400-500m in profit(?) a quarter, for $1.5-2bn/year. Is it the 22% margin that's so attractive? (https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3APCLN&fstype=ii&ei=...)

Such a large margin might suggest they aren't making significant hardware purchases or that their rates could be undercut by a competitor, both of which would make me nervous as an investor for the long haul.

> As we considered our options, we had a novel idea: buy an open source plugin, reward the author for their work, and expose new users to Kite.

That’s the root of the issue. Someone built a well, and offered its water for free to the community. Theirs was a good-faith effort that you subverted when then you paid the maintainer to help you turn people who came to the well into customers.

I don’t understand how you didn’t see that as problematic from the outset – at the very least, you could have first created an open API (akin to LSP) where others could add their own Kite-like service. That would have respected the spirit of open sourcing.
It is not a conspiracy or an inevitable consequence of growth. It is not because of the concentration of wealth (also a problem!). It is because there is not enough housing.

There are many kinds of restrictions, some you probably agree with. Most of the restrictions are popular with liberals, conservatives, Democrats, and Republicans.

Restrictions like:

* must build parking per housing unit
* zoning restrictions to limit density
* long approval processes for construction
* many blocks to construction approval even after complying with all the restrictions

This is a bipartisan problem, it's really a culture problem. It's understandable, even on the micro scale. When you move into a place (and are done renovating it), you'd prefer that the neighborhood never change and that no one does any construction in it. There's a little tinge of atavistic fear of strangers too, even though people are moving in and out of neighborhoods all the time.

In 1960, San Francisco population was 740,000. 50 years later in 2010 it's 808,235. The east bay and peninsula have been as reticent about housing.

Despite wanting to live in SF and ending up in San Mateo once they get there they don't want anyone to build anything - no more density. Despite wanting to live in the mission/noe valley/haight and ending up in the less dense sunset once people get there they vote against more housing.

The solution is more housing. Transit oriented development (denser zoning and no parking requirements near transit), allowing people to convert illegal inlaws to legal apartments, converting garages into apartments, and allowing people to add stories to their homes are all possible good moves. Maybe there are some of those you don't like, but each one we don't do is less housing and higher costs.

And when you do vote for more housing you are getting:

* cheaper housing
* less climate change
* less pollution
* less homelessness (because homes)
* less inequality (housing costs are a regressive expense)
* a more prosperous city (you personally will have more money)
* a more interesting city (you personally will have more interesting restaurants and things to do)

You think that cute 4 story victorian in Noe looks cool? Maybe make it legal to build it anywhere in the city or bay area. The whole sunset and richmond are filed with 1 story single family homes. Even pretty dense mission/noe/haight have lots of individually low density properties. Regionally why not let people build 4 story houses with apartment flats anywhere along caltrain or bart?

But does it work in practice? Check out Tokyo:

Almost all popular apps started requesting IPv6 before IPv6 was broadly deployed, so they weren't actually using it. Then when IPv6 was deployed, it was less reliable because stuff was untested and suddenly there was intermittent breakage everywhere. So apps had to be updated to use happy eyeballs.

Imagine if p <= 1.0 was considered "significant", wouldn't this cut down on publication bias? Shouldn't every study worth funding be worth publishing? They should all be considered significant results. So I think this proposal is:

2) Doing the exact opposite of what should be done (raise the significance level)

> Whenever real estate prices go up, people react like it's a good thing

The problem is that, based on how things work, a significant amount of our assets are tied up in real estate. If you're a homeowner and your home's value tanks compared to the rest of the market, you're screwed! You can't move to another place because you've lost all of the money that you put into your home.

It gets even worse if you need the money: Think of elderly who sell their homes and use the profits to pay for assisted living.

Or, look at how we pay for education: We use our homes as collateral for education loans!
1. use it as a weather station - temp/hum/pressure sensors are quite cheap
2. if you already have weather station, hook it up to an API and share the data (wunderground.com, or similar)
3. you can use it as local lan media player/web server if you don't want to mess with hardware
4. build a bad ass robot/drone/submarine with it
5. build security system - possibilities are limitless. You can even use pressure sensor as intrussion detection device, let alone sound, light, shock, camera, IR, etc sensors....
6. use it as an alarm clock
7. use it as decoration - if you need it to last forever, pour a resin in a mould over it
8. wrap it as a gift if everything else fails
Declaring without proof, is one part of the obvious character hit. Further, being part of a family isn't evidence of entitlement to said wealth.

There is most obviously a negative implication there, and it isn't subtle: that the VCs (in this case Andreessen specifically) are harming non-wealthy people in places like SF by intentionally driving up land values for their own benefit. The countless front page stories on HN in the last few years about this specific topic, make it more than a little bit clear there's a negative association in place.

And if you want to get really close to a very serious legal charge, here it is: it's being blatantly implied that Andreessen is conspiring with very wealthy land owners, knowingly against at least some of the interests of his own investments through Andreessen Horowitz, for his own personal gain. How is it against the interest of said investments? The claim is he's involved in intentionally driving up the value of real-estate, which drives up the cost of living in eg SF, which makes it more expensive to retain and lure talent, which harms his investments (lowers their odds of success in numerous ways, lowers their margins by raising costs, etc). That's an extremely serious accusation.
Another factor that is present in some places (at least here in Seattle) is that certain regulations discourage condo construction relative to building rental units. Essentially, there is a stricter inspection process for any units that are to be sold. The law was well-intentioned, but has led to crazy things like 10-20k luxury apartment units being built per year with none of them available for purchase.
