Sure, but no aviation company actively dabbles in endangering the life of its customers or members of the public through negligence anyway. In the case of an incident, settling with the victims is going to be enormously costly with or without aviation-specific regulations. Regulations that insure the NTSB has resources to follow up on incidents make a lot of sense, so do ones on accounting (in manufacturing and maintenance); but it's hard to imagine what positive effect the FAA could have outside of that.
Not if the tax cut is used to pay down debt, or is "saved" by buying government issued securities. Neither of these result in more economic activity.

Sounds an awful lot like the post 2008 environment, no?

Why don't people in poor countries just move to better countries? Why do people stay in the rust belt instead of moving to the coast? Why do people on the coast whine about rent instead of moving inland?

Leaving everything you know is hard.

Regardless, opt-in should not be the default.

They say they have to default to opt-in because otherwise users will not enable this type of data collection. That, in my opinion, should be the #1 indicator that users DO NOT want this collection happening in the first place. They default to opt-in because they know most people won't opt-out, either because they forget, aren't aware that it is happening, or various other reasons.

I'm okay with them collecting any data they want to so long as it is opt-in (because I never will). Mozilla is slowly eroding their original, core values.
Actually, given the probability of winning, each lottery ticket has a negative value, so... yeah, there's no way it isn't a waste of money. "You gotta be in it to win it" is nonsense and is exactly what the lottery commission relies on.

I spend a good 3 months on getting an initial version out of my latest side project called Postways [1] and launched it just before xmas last year. Since then I have been focusing on on-boarding users and just improving the service overall. Marketing it and connecting with an audience and potential customers is the real challenge.

I did everything myself. I have a number of great features in the works but for now I purposely want to keep the scope very focused around a core set of functionality so I don't mentally overload myself.

At some point I hope to afford to engage with a visual designer because I really think that having a great visual brand can make a real difference in whether or not potential customers landing on your home decide the signup or not.

That’s true; I didn’t try the above command :)

Yeah, one of big reasons I preferred Uber over a traditional taxi was not needing to worry about how much I'm supposed to tip. I would much rather the driver make a fair wage, than have to figure out what to tip in each different situation.
Except that Hanlon crucially forgot to complete his aphorism: never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by apathy.

> Some people have said that some of the biggest gains in the stock market are just before it drops. You do not want to miss out on these, since that is often where the 9.5% return on stocks comes from.

This may sound like a stupid question but if you don't sell at that time (hold good investments forever etc), and you don't know that it's the peak at the time, how do you lock in those gains?
I was discussing that with a friend once and I argued that a more intelligent species might fare worse in these matters. It would more rapidly and aggressively exploit its environment due to higher intelligence and would therefore run a greater risk of triggering catastrophic environmental events.

The problem is that there is no game theoretic advantage in cooperating to reduce CO2 unless everyone cooperates. If one large player (e.g. USA or China) or many small players do not cooperate then the incentive flips and it's actually in everyone's best interest to defect. If catastrophic climate change is going to happen anyway then you are better off burning as much CO2 as you want to build up your economy so you have a better chance of mitigating the damage. It's basically a variation on the prisoner's dilemma scenario.
You're right that suggested solution might not be the best, but the problem is trickier than you'd think. For example, I know writers who like isolation. Not just being alone. Going to a remote place where they have no connectivity to the outside world whatsoever. So while software that lives and connects to the internet gives a user "a lot of devices in a lot of places" to do their work, it does not give you the "ability to work anywhere." Now you have to make sure you solve the problem of - having the software and the user's work in progress (WIP) on whatever device(s) they take out of internet connectivity, and also making sure the updated WIPs get pushed back to the internet as soon as they reconnect.

We could try to simplify the problem with an assumption, like only run the software one device (instead of only one USB stick), but you've created new limitations to how they work. Maybe they get by with their mini laptop in the cabin, but they prefer a different computer at home. The USB works better with the multiple locations and, in theory, devices, until you get to the multiple OS (and releases) problem discussed in the parent comment.

So while it's not the job of the product owner to use the solution presented, it is their job to think about why that solution was suggested, and run their own proposed solutions through those reasons.
How to Select a Voltage Regulator
This is strongly related to 'unbundling'.
These are all pretty generic Ruby things - the first file is just configuring which components of gemstash to auto load, the other two are most probably auto generated when you make a new gem
If you look at the repo it's not clear at all if there is an issue. It's certainly not a fork of a repo. It actually includes gemstash as a dependency [1] which is a really weird thing to do if it was actually a copy of gemstash.

If there is a lack of caution I think it's on @indirect's side.
The point of being a middleman is to keep that fat margin. Also the usual "we did not come to you country for cheap labor, we came to have access to a new talent pool" lie.
>Stealing software from a non-profit that you refuse to support, even though you depend on the work it does, is extremely not cool.

A bit emotional, aren't we? If the intern did wrong, you already have the high ground without arguments like this.
This is outdated. They passed a budget
This is a teachable moment for the guy who posted the comment, not the intern, since the repo isn't even a fork of his stuff and he comes off like a petulant asshole that would have been better served trying to solve this issue through some more direct line of communication as a first step. At the very least it would have saved him the embarrassment of being so publically wrong.
Much easier said than done. Empirical studies of wine-tasting and reproducibility show that our unconscious minds are wonderfully good at tricking us into mistaking mere signalling for intrinsic qualities such as better taste. Without a lot of meditation (Samadhi then Vipassana) you can't stop being fooled, a lot of the time. (As well as confusing secondary reinforcement for primary, in general.) Nature doesn't want you to; it wants you to attract "better" mates and impress others (establish dominance.)

One or two simple rules can help, however. Rarely buy what's generally coveted, never buy any product that's advertised, and do not hang out with those who do.
I use IntelliJ IDEA. Everything else is for kids.
What would you call what actually happened here? Whitelabeling? It doesn't appear to be a license violation since no code from the other project is included here, but I presume this repo basically wraps Gemstash's functionality, and doesn't really mention (outside of the code itself) that that is what it is doing.

It may not be a license violation, but "Google Cloud Gemserver", if it is functionally similar to Gemstash's own functionality, sounds like a rebranding, which... feels uncomfortable?
If you can hack different lotteries in multiple states, how hard can it be to hack voting machines?

You can't count on a complicated extradition process to prevent extradition. With an Interpol Red Notice, travel is difficult. There's informal extradition as well, as El Chapo found out. His Mexican cases were still on appeal when he was shipped north. Florida lawyer Scott Rothstein fled to Morocco, turned around and came home. Still, there are exceptions. France will not extradite its citizens for any reason, in part because of the Holocaust. This keeps Roman Polanski safe. Italy will not extradite its citizens either. Nor will Israel.

Weather.gov is the source for most forecasts out there anyway (your TV weather guy is often just regurgitating what NOAA is saying) so I prefer to just get the info from the source and devoid of all the click bait crap that has infested most commercial weather sites.
Whenever you hear about linguistic analysis of some sort or another you should immediately stop listening and add the source of the analysis to your mental kill file.
But there is a distinction between redistributing a work and merely referencing it. It doesn't look like this repository actually copies anything from the other, and just listing the other one as a dependency doesn't require including the license.
Nothing to find as far as i can see. All that's done is import a gem like anyone would who's project who depends on an external gem. Mr. Indirect seems to have had a bad day, take it easy :)]

For application UI, definitely. For website design... I think it may be a little overused these days.

To be fair to us we are only just barely sentient.

In evolutionary terms we have literally only just managed to build a technological society. Therefore it stands to reason we only recently evolved sufficient intelligence to do so. Otherwise we'd have done it sooner. In the grand scheme of things we're on the very lowest bottom level of the sentience hierarchy.
> early employees falling upward.

This is what I've seen at places that just got to the 50+ dev mark. It can result in poorly planned junk systems being built and ill-prepared managers making simple mistakes (e.g. being "too nice" to properly manage poor performers or bad hires, or being so adverse to having to deal with that that the hiring process becomes overly selective so you're perpetually understaffed, or an unawareness of what to do around things like security and personal user data that it's not properly protected...).
It doesn't look like the guy copied code. I can't see where the google guy copied code.

Whoever used a throwaway account to get this onto the front page of HN, less than an hour after that issue was posted on GitHub: that was an irresponsible and wrong thing to do.
I'm getting the feeling that this is more of an attention seeking thing. The way that this seems to be so unnecessarily inflammatory and posted with a throwaway account. I'm sure that some people are going to see this non-profit org and make donations to spite Google.
It is a negative expected value. You can go below zero. There is no situation where buying lottery tickets is a good way to diversify your portfolio

Denon AH-D2000 for privacy/workplace, Sennheiser HD580 (upgraded to HD600 spec) for home use, NAD VISO HP50 for serious mobile use, and Westone W30 in-ear with triple flange for max portability.

At work, I amp using a Dragonfly Red outboard DAC, which frankly, I like less than my old NuForce Icon2. (I would've happily stayed with the Nuforce, but Apple cluelessly bricked older "dumb amps" like the Icon2 when they "upgraded" their audio code in MacOS Sierra. Morons.) The Dragonfly just doesn't seem to add anything beyond the system amp.

On my Mac, I drive the external DAC using the Vox app because it has a parametric equalizer. On my i[Phone|Pad], I playback using the Equ app, which also offers para EQ.

I love the Denons. They enhance bass a bit and don't export my music enough to annoy coworkers. The Senn HD-580s are great, but feel a bit "cool" compared to the warmer Denons (due to the open cushions). But their smoothness is effortless; I can listen to them all day long. The NADs cut out surrounding noise really well and offer surprisingly good fidelity for such lightweight cans. I like the Westones mostly for their portability; their sound quality just can't match any of my full-sized cans and IMHO depend too much on a good seal from the triple flanges.

I also own Grado SR325Es, but could never warm to them. Their bass is substantially weaker than my other phones, though mid-to-upper reproduction is exemplary.

Great comment. As a nit, I think "poaching" is a bad term. Uber offered to pay these professors what it viewed as what they were worth to it, which happened to be a lot more than what CMU was paying them. The professors accepted of their own free choice. I fail to see why such an action is termed "poaching". We have had enough problems with industry illegally conspiring (see Steve Jobs) to suppress developer pay through "anti-poaching" agreements, that the term "poaching" is long due for retirement in describing situations other than when animals are illegally killed.
>> Oddly enough, as an American, I am looking forward to the first thing that China builds that "we" American's cannot because we lack expertise and/or technology to do so.

Or too much regulation or politics to allow.
A large part of the rest of the world does not have public transport for that and needs Uber.
Uber isn't losing $2.4 billion primarily in the US market, you've got it the wrong way. Their biggest losses are from the international side of the business, spending on that build-out effort.

Margin positive internationally is not the same as earning a profit after all expenses. What they're talking about is international revenue exceeding international losses finally (the US market has been above that line for a long time).
Looks very interesting, but I had a lot of trouble trying to understand your value proposition. How many active users do you have so far?
Snowden didn't defect. He was on his way to Venezuela, which had granted him asylum. The US canceled his passport, stranding him in Russia. Even though the Venezuelan Air Force has an Airbus, flying to Russia non-stop was not feasible--Evo Morales, the president of Bolivia, had his plane forced down on the suspicion that Snowden was aboard. Still, if Putin wanted to get Snowden to Venezuela, all he had to do was put him aboard a Russian nuclear submarine. In ten days, Snowden would be in Maiquetia with no risk of interference. As it turns out, Russia is probably a safer place for Snowden than today's Venezuela.
Likewise.

I read on the Uber Driver's forums that many (the majority, going by the polls) will now be rating riders lower by default and then increasing the rating after a tip has been received.

I've since basically stopped using Uber. Between the increased prices since legislation was introduced here in Toronto, the drop in driver quality as more of the taxi drivers move to Uber, the forced surge pricing by colluding groups of drivers and now the expectation of tips it has essentially lost all of its appeal to me.

The off-hours public transit, which was once made unattractive by Uber, has returned to being my default go-to for now.

Why don't they just experiment to fully determine the elasticity of demand and then -- if they determine it's not profitable -- cut their losses while they're ahead?

I think the strategy of trying to maintain a monopoly to starve others out is daring. There's no guarantee fully autonomous vehicles will be the norm anytime soon enough for the business to capitalize on it. There was an article on here -- days, weeks? ago -- about how easy is it to fool the on-board cameras of autonomous vehicles. Slap some black rectangular bars on stop sign, and now all of a sudden it's recognized as a speed limit sign. I think we're farther away from Level 5 than what is led on. Which is a bit of a shame, I'd love to be in a world where I don't have to drive myself, but I'm also being realistic.

Ultimately, in my mind, uber is failing at, well, failing fast. Don't dance around the worry that your business might not be profitable at the price point you need customers to accept. Otherwise, I think they're just wasting time. You need to validate product-market fit as quickly as possible...
In that case you are arguing that taxation isn't necessary.
Thank you for taking a look. Maybe the problem was already fixed :)

If you do find anything else then do post it on GitHub, or at least let us know on IRC/Gitter.
Is hope of buying a bunch of things you will never be able to afford really a good thing?
While it is true that many of us will experience some kind of brain failure (if we don't die of something else first) making claims about absolutes like "zero" and "none" are not perhaps constructive to the conversation. My experience with my 90-year-old father in law is that he can recite far more stories about being 10 in rural Kansas in the '30s than I can of being 10 in Colorado's suburbs. He'll also demolish any who care to challenge him at Scrabble or contract bridge. Also, he happens to be the nicest, most unassuming guy ever. Dementia may eventually come for him, but today is not that day. YMMV
> I think there's a fundamental flaw in the idea that you can just pay for cheaper labor- as Steve Jobs has said before the difference in a good programmer and an outstanding programmer can be 50 to 1 or 100 to 1 you can't capture that by trying to cut your cost from $100 an hour to $20 an hour.

Perhaps you left something out, but the argument that high quality programmers have to be expensive might be interpreted as assuming that high quality programmers only exist within high-salary countries like the USA. I assume you didn't mean it that way.
Maybe, but I'd sort of have expected the "nonstandard" deals to become more common as they've gotten more into non-software startups. How far could you really go with $120k if you're building autonomous passenger aircraft?
Yeah, but that's a separate matter, you can simply widen the sidewalk into the road to add the cycling lane.
I don't think so. In Central America (Guatemala), I get a lot of ex-cab drivers[1]. They say the payment on buying a small car to use for Uber is about 1/3rd of their taxi rental payment. Most of them tell me they're earning significantly more. Full time drivers earn 1-2x what a call center worker makes, which is about what a lower-end software dev makes. And all this is after Uber takes a 25% cut (big, but totally justifiable), and rides are about 1/2 the price of taxis.

So the alternative is not cab service or pricing. The service can always be superior, just by not having terrible queuing and apps. The pricing should naturally be lower, as taxi companies charge way higher prices.

What is "vendoring"?
AKG K712 at home for gaming and general computer audio. Great headphones for an flat, yet appealing sound. An audio engineer friend of mine bought the same set after sampling mine. I have a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 driving those.

At work and on the go I'm using Shure SE215. Great isolation, clear sound and some of the best bass I've sampled from earphones.

I'd recommend both in a heartbeat and I think both of these represent good bang for their buck. Since I like my music (it's a hobby of mine) I wouldn't tolerate anything that I didn't think fell into the category of high quality.
Isn't it generally undefined behaviour to have exceptions pass through code that isn't compiled with support for them? I.e. not running some destructors is the least of your worries if an exception hits C/-fno-exceptions/-betterC code.
A lot can happen. If the punishment should be 5 years give him five years why the 25 years / life sentence
