There are a lot, lot, LOT more people trying to get to dollar #1 than any other phase of the process. It feels good to read about someone else going through the same struggles as you, especially if they're willing to share behind-the-scenes information (i.e. how many hours they worked).

Is this enough data to produce a valid scientific experiment? No, but that's a high bar that would disqualify pretty much every conversation anyone is having anywhere about anything :-D

They also have far greater access to educational content about science etc via YouTube than most kids had in the 80's/90's.

Good content is still being made, the parents just have to choose to consume it!

The threat is becoming another pondskipper on the ocean of human experience.

When you know 40-something people who've spent their entire existence revolving around popular culture, you know somebody with no opinions or ideas or feelings the box on the wall didn't package and deliver to them.

It's important to be able to relate to other people, but when so many people are consumed by something, religion, politics, 'popular culture', then I think it is fair to wonder why you'd want to relate to that, they look a lot like dead ends.

I might be mistaken but I think that groceries are generally more expensive in the UK, so people there might be willing to pay more for delivery because it's a lower relative cost.

"Of course, you won't have 100% death in the edge cases. Either way, making the majority of travel safe in exchange for making edge cases more deadly to untrained drivers has a simple solution: a higher bar for licensing human drivers."

The part that really bothers me (for some reason) is that those edge cases are frequently extremely mundane, uninteresting driving situations that even a child could resolve. They simply confuse the computer, for whatever reason.

I'm genuinely interested to see how consumers react to a reality wherein their overall driving safety is higher, but their odds of being killed (or killing others) are spread evenly across all driving environments.

Imagine the consumer (and driving habits) response to the first occasion wherein a self-driving car nicely drives itself through a 25MPH neighborhood, comes to a nice stop at a stop sign, and then drives right over the kid in the crosswalk that you're smiling and waving at. Turns out the kids coat was shimmering weirdly against the sunlight. Or whatever.

Ask HN: Does a Canadian online retailer have to pay US taxes on US sales?
I just started working with a small Canadian online retailer that has always done the majority of their business in Canada.

US sales have been considered sales and included in income on the Canadian taxes and a US tax return has never been filed.

As we grow the business in the States, do we have US tax liability even if we don't have a physical presence? Do we have to collect US sales tax? Pay US income taxes? Does this change if we open a warehouse in the states?
I would hate to invest my effort in this and find out that we owe a bunch of back taxes.
Any information is greatly appreciated.

No reason that 7 billion humans can't work towards both at the same time. Many technologies (like cheap, reusable heavy-lift rockets) will be useful for both.

And Comcast Business charges more than regular internet, that's not a NN violation either. Charging more for more bandwidth is what ISPs do all the time, that doesn't have anything to do with net neutrality. Net neutrality has to do with packet discrimination: blocking or throttling traffic based on its content or destination. Google here does neither.

What's the meaning of

It depends what you consider specialty. Things I eat regularly, like tofu, almond butter, and coconut water are much cheaper at whole foods than my local grocery store. I think trader joes could be cheaper than wf for those things, but last time I checked (which was admittedly long ago) wf was much cheaper for steel-cut oatmeal than tjs.
Depending on where you set your standards, sure. But we have an expectation in the United States safety technology has to accommodate darn near everyone.

We have a law that airbags have to accommodate unbelted passengers:

Now sure, a passenger can be different than the driver but it's the same philosophy.

The amount of illegal maneuvers I see every day on my commute is astonishing - not using blinkers, intruding on cross walks, not moving over for emergency vehicles, following too closely, etc. It doesn't help that the only traffic law enforcement is really around speeding / running red lights / DUIs.

The problem with autonomous cars isn't the autonomous cars - it's accommodating non-autonomous actors. It only takes one google car hitting an old lady who's chasing a duck on the street to become CNN breaking news for the next 3 months a la that airliner that disappeared.

I would say that Hacker Rank helps with learning syntax of a language. I'm not sure if it helps greatly with learning how to implement framework type ideas or large programs.

Hacker Rank is best at teaching algorithms & problem solving. I did a couple the other day & at first I thought they looked difficult. After breaking them down & thinking about them, they surprisingly weren't all that hard.

I slightly disagree. "Networking" doesn't often yield amazing results because, as the author says, simple networking is transactional.

However, I would state that "having a network" is priceless.

In part, the author's only talking about people who are trying to "network up". The way to build a network is laterally -- to find people facing similar challenges, compare notes and learn from each other.
Not only do they have such a number, but at least the last time I called that number, there wasn't even a voice menu where I had to "press 0" to talk to an operator. I dialed the number and a human picked up the phone.

With Titan we know exactly how it is designed and how it'll behave. Titan is also platform-agnostic; it can work in many environments that Secure Boot cannot. Secure Boot also doesn't get us nifty features like tamper-evident logging or hardware root-of-trust.

He need not. The control need not be explicit, it might be as simple as admin isn't so hot about A's application for a promotion over B's because of that critical article, they may not realize it but it can be there. And, from B's perspective, s/he knows that A's critical article is a strike against them, hence why they refrained from writing it.

Not trying to draw a false equivalency, I'd say the ordering in terms of worseness is

explicit censure >> reporters anticipate implicit bias

As we grow the business in the States, do we have US tax liability even if we don't have a physical presence?

Possible but unlikely; talk to an accountant. It will depend on a variety of facts which are difficult to assess from your post.

Do we have to collect US sales tax?

If you have a nexus (physical connection) in a US state, you may be required to collect and remit sales tax. Historically, it would be pretty easy to judge that you don't have a nexus. However, states are starting to become more expansive in their definition of what would create one. You may need to talk to an accountant.

Opening a warehouse in the US will almost certainly result in you having a nexus in the US state in which you open the warehouse, which will result in an obligation to collect and remit taxes for that state.
no, that's not how that works. If the US intends to tax your goods, they will assess a duty when they are imported into the US.

Edit: I should clarify: I am assuming that you operate entirely in Canada (and Canadian owned), and ship the goods into the US via postal service/ups/fedex/etc.
in these places, alternatives definitely exist. addison lee, hailo, ola, grab, didi, some traditional cab companies also have their own hailing app.

Breaking the 200k ceiling in base is hard. I know I've plateaud.
I'm using the [cryptopals challenges](https://cryptopals.com/) to learn java ATM, seems like a good approach because they pretty quickly force you to do stuff that expose important parts of the language ("how do I get bytes out of a string?" "how do I do i/o?" "how do I xor two strings?" "how do I find a crypto library and use it?")

I think this kind of thing is more useful than hackerrank or euler-style problems, at least if you're learning a language in a paradigm you already know? If you can hack together a binary search in one functional language you can probably do it in another one pretty easily. Though might be more challenging moving from one paradigm to another.

I started with that one - I liked Isaacson's writing when I read his Steve Jobs biography, so I decided to read his Franklin bio as well. I very much enjoyed it. Afterward, I read this one:

https://www.amazon.com/First-American-Times-Benjamin-Frankli...

I think this one is probably where I read about his time with Hume. I don't find H.W. Brands' writing to be quite as smooth to read as Isaacson's, but I remember him covering parts of Franklin's life in greater detail. His bio of Ulysses Grant was a great read, too:

Man that last paragraph is the kind of success to keep in mind. I have loads of regrets on businesses and opportunities missed since 98 as well, but a huge number of them would not have lead to my family today.

It's not necessarily a either or situation. I can certainly see this work out in a way where you can iterate quickly on the moon resulting in technologies maturing quickly that you will eventually need on Mars and ultimately get you there faster than trying to go straight to Mars.
The problem of low information density isn't new. Most of the "classics" of western literature have the same problem. We're just more attuned to it now because we've been trained by internet articles to expect an idea to be introduced, explored and concluded in 1000-2000 words. Beyond that, these days many people won't even bother with that if there isn't a quick hook or a TL;DR that sucks them into reading further.
Indie publisher here. There have been strange things going on in the last year with best-seller lists, not only in the NYT but also USA Today and Amazon, often relating to ebook "box sets" that have coordinated marketing and borrow campaigns set up around them. See the following resources/discussions:

I am not sure if the TFA example is connected to box set scams, though.
complex to do right, limited usefulness, potential for a great deal of memory usage, lack of a common understanding of proper use cases.

I can totally see it as part of any number of extended libraries.

Just my opinion though. I would be happy to be wrong.

I don't disagree, and I should have said 'symbols.'

After I wrote what I wrote I went for a run and I suppose another way of making the distinction I am making between strings and text is that a machine can necessarily decide what is and is not a valid string and a mchine cannot decide what is and is not a valid text (unless we conflate strings and text).

Or to put it another way the recursively enumerable languages are closed under union, intersection, concatination and Kleene star. That's the realm of strings. Text is not closed under those properties, e.g. 'hello*' is not guaranteed to produce a valid text.

I saw the title and initially thought this was about AutoML.
I was curious so I downloaded Go 1.4, and tested against 1.9 on an old version of a project I have (backend for Mafia Watch), about 30K lines of Go, including a few 3rd party dependencies.

Go 1.4: Around 2.1s
Go 1.9: Around 2.5s

So within 20% of 1.4, not bad. That's on an old MacBook Air, dual core 1.7 GHz i7, 8GB ram.

And of course the binary performance and GC pause times w/ 1.9 will be much better.

Here's the raw times: https://pastebin.com/ULDHPmVu

Two awesome things:

It was super-easy and fast to download and compile Go 1.4

It was completely painless to compile my old code with Go 1.9

I fucking love how nice it is to work with the Go ecosystem. <3
Elaborate on how investing in CryptoCurrency generates passive income?
There is a book from the 80s with the same name "Learning How to Learn" by Gowin & Novak. The book was very influential to the UX field. Concept Maps -the technique presented in the book- is used a lot to understand user mental models.
The book is 80% discussion about how to apply the technique in a classroom... 20% explaining the technique, but anyways it's worth the read.

Edit: small correction, according to google the book was published in 1984
Sure, but it seems like they have their own niche market. Aka a supermarket for people who aren't trying to save pennies and would pay a little more for a less crowded and high quality shopping experience. It's the same thing as restaurants ranging anywhere from 5$ meals to 50$+ meals.

Yes 100% agree.

Also, first thing I noticed about this article. "Any Slovaks reading this are going to be very upset that they have been referred to as "east" European.

That aside, it is a rather unique situation, the country (the geographic area specifically, forgetting past borders) has a long history with the automotive sector and associated tooling and skills. During communism the region produced tanks and other vehicles for the military. After the collapse of the USSR and the dissolution from Czechia all those jobs were suddenly redundant. A lot of the older Slovaks resent the split for this reason (ignoring the general turmoil in the labor market associated with ending state owned enterprises etc.).

When car manufacturers realized they had a cheap labor market with the historical skills base they pounced, and now margins are being pushed. I have family in Slovakia, and, not to paint with a board brush, but the growing middle class is becoming more aspirational, is tends to be the case with growing middle classes.
