You're right about the cost to acquire, the resources to hold (in space, which translates to cost via rent, mortgage payments or land tax), but you miss the cost to dispose of it (mostly emotional costs, but paying to recycle heavy metals properly is going to cost money).

Interestingly, acquisition is often pleasurable, disposal is a relief but the actual day-to-day owning is the painful bit that weighs on you.
HRC is the farthest from an engineer you will ever see. I'm not sure how anyone with a professional background in engineering could suggest this.
You gain the prestige of saying "you want a fresh-squeezed juice?" to your guests. Keurig grew HUGE in large part thanks to the appearance of higher class it brought to ordinary homes and offices. Instead of fooling with tools, you click a button on a sleek looking SV futuremachine, and presto.

Humans are weird, and this is a very good marketing strategy.
Why would an AI randomly disable the alarm ? Indeed that would be a stupid AI.

That's much better than what the parent wants. Almost always whenever I write any script almost 25% of the time is spent ensuring it doesn't break due to spaces or special unescaped characters.
Are the patterns shared somewhere?
Internally, Hypothesis is built on a core engine called Conjecture, which looks more like a byte stream fuzzer than anything else. Hypothesis data generators are then effectively parser combinators on top of that fuzzer.

This gives Hypothesis a lot more freedom to generically manipulate the data than QuickCheck has, because it has total control of a concrete representation of it.

As a result:

* Specifying a data generator is a much more declarative process - Hypothesis largely handles size/distribution issues itself.

* The fuzzing nature of Hypothesis means that it can do much smarter generation than a normal QuickCheck (though this is more potential than actual right now. The current fuzzer is "pretty good". I'll be starting a PhD soon where I hope to work on making it amazing)

* Shrinking is just a built in part of the process and users never have to define their own shrinker.

* All examples (both pre and post shrinking) can be serialized because the IR is just bytes, so Hypothesis can replay failing tests automatically without rerunning the shrinking process. This matters both because shrinking tends to be slower than generation in most QuickChecks, but also because in general shrinking is subject to "slippage" where the bugs you find after shrinking are different from the bugs you started with.

* Because you can just keep drawing data from the stream, Hypothesis tests can be much more interactive than normal QuickCheck (which does support mixing test execution and generation, but it doesn't work especially well).

* Because Hypothesis never needs to touch the values it generates, Hypothesis is much better for mutable data than the approach most QuickCheck takes.

* I haven't actually done this yet, but Conjecture is deliberately designed to be quite C like, so "at some point" it will become possible to rewrite the core in C (more likely Rust) and then new Hypotheses will spring up everywhere because 90% of the work can be done by writing bindings to a C library. QuickCheck's approach on the other hand is inherently very tied to the semantics of the host language.

The property-based testing libraries for some dynamic languages (test.check for Clojure, the various Erlang ones including QuickCheck) have some of these features, but I think they're more naturally supported in the Hypothesis model, and the Hypothesis model has a lot more room to grow.
I think Uber has intangible assets and a fortress (it's competitive). It's more like a Coke. It's not a technology company, really. It's a highly competitive logistics company with intangible brand. But I can see how from the prism of hacker news and Silicon Valley it looks like a technology company. The technical part was their at conception but I think its innovation is more a style of business utilising precarious labour that is highly competitive & fierce (for better or for worse). It's like Toyota in its innovation in how to conduct business. For instance, I would say Google is clearly a technology company. But I think Uber has introduced a new style of business and organising labour, as Toyota did. So it's more an industrial innovation.

I see booking.com's BOT posting the same multiple jobs on @whoishiring's thread every month. Ex: Sept 2017 => https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15148950

Looking at all the negative observations about booking.com here, I'm curious. Has anyone from here actually applied to any of their job postings on @whoishiring ?

How has your experience been?

The one positive thing I've seen is that they mention that they sponsor work visas for their successful candidates (in Europe / Amsterdam location only I think).
Pretty sweet. How do you generate income? Ads?

This link has been up a long time ago on hackernews, or reddit, can't remember which. But i am trying to work through it, it has good basic explanation.

And then you have SICP which introduces compilers without really talking about it :p.
Here's a twist:

By making what you made, you've made it possible for LEA to categorize and fingerprint malware/open source anonymous software etc etc.

This will go unnoticed for many years, until the first big player gets busted by it (publically, because many more were busted before in secret).

Once that happens, it will become the standard practice to fuzz your source code with random methods to obscure the author.

In a sense, someone will have to make something that turns "regular" code into unreadable gibberish before compiling... because of what you wrote
And what different argument? By giving them away money for free in addition to the amounts they ransack from the rest of the world already? (just think about 1$ = 1€ as an example)

Bartender 3 Beta
I'm curious. Do you always use the same sitter? How far in advance do you book your sitter?

We've had a number of babysitters (found via family, recommendations, and job boards), and scheduling is incredibly annoying. We usually have to plan at least a week in advance, and even then there's no guarantee that our sitter is available.

I'd absolutely use a service that connected me to a professional baby sitter who is available tomorrow evening, and I'd pay extra for the flexibility.

(Vetting is also important. We are really happy with our current sitter, but in my experience it's really hard to know in advance)
Even if the energy to run an air conditioner came from a source like hydroelectric power and the machine operated at 100% efficiency, it would still heat the outside air.

A typical air conditioner is one example of a heat pump, a device that moves heat from one location to another. In this case you're pumping heat from inside your house to outside, warming the air around the house.

Your refrigerator is also a heat pump, moving heat from inside the fridge to the outside. This is one reason cats like to climb up on top of the refrigerator (besides the fact that they like to climb on everything) - it's warm up there.

They have some of the worst scores I have ever seen on consumer advocacy sites.

Google used to be this unique company that again and again would launch exciting new services or products. Often it was services that helped them sell ads, but it was services that users found very helpful.

Gmail, Google Translate, Google Map, Google Earth, Chrome, Android. These were all unique in their own way when they came out and found hundreds of millions (mostly free or low paying) users.

But what is the one thing or service that you use from Google which was launched in the last 5 years and are widely used? Nothing.

What is the one thing that they charge for, except advertising, and that scores of people care to pay for? Nothing.

Sure, there have been ongoing improvements of their services and lots of tools, languages and frameworks released for developers. They have been testing self driving cars and there have been rumours about what they do in their lab. There have been laptops, glasses and loudspeakers, but none of them have really been successful or close to be considered market leaders.

Apparently, it's really difficult for one of the richest companies in history with tens of thousands of the most talented engineers, to market just one new product every few year. Was there ever in history so much money gathered so easily by such an amazing force of engineers?

Even within software services that you would think a global company with the largest user base ever, and millions of paying webshops, could dominate; Why is Google not a leader in payment technology? Why are they not dominating hosting services? Why are they not dominating cloud storage? Why don't we buy content such as books, news, movies or songs on Google? Shared economy? Social networks? Why are they not dominating anything else but a few software services that help them sell their core product, the ads?

Google can make such huge amounts of much money selling ads, that everything else is dwarfed in comparison. How could you ever get the attention of management for a project that could potentially - if everything goes well for 5-10 years - make 5 billion in revenue, when Google makes more than that in a month right now?

Not despite of their money but because of their money, Google cannot innovate. Take 1,000 Google engineers elsewhere and they could do amazing things. Have them in Google, and the world would barely notice if they all called in sick for the next 10 years.

Maybe Google's restructuring will help on this. I doubt it, unless the umbilical cord to all the advertisement money is cut completely. Size matters. Google has gotten way too big.

I mostly agree with you. Except when it comes to books. Some books one uses for reference. Some are pretty objects in their own right so you'd hang on to them as one would a painting (apologies for mixing pronouns).

How's work-life balance?
That's because it's not a few bad apples. It's everyone with possibly a few exceptions who still support the bad apples and are therefore bad themselves. In other gangs, there might be members who are not violent but they don't get a break because they're still affiliated with the gang. Well the cops are the biggest, most dangerous gang in America and none of them deserve a break. They are all bad apples supporting one another (see police unions and internal affairs) who don't give a fuck about anything or anyone but themselves. Our society would be better off without these thugs who think and act like they are above the law.
Lawyers are advantaged in a democracy where you rise by convincing people. Engineers are advantaged in a meritocracy or in a system that sees itself as a meritocracy as we are probably better at optimizing for an important metric.

"Now you have two problems."
Social anxiety and introversion are not the same thing. I am an introvert, and need a lot of alone time to feel properly refreshed. People, even ones I love, wear me out.

But I have no problem whatsoever interacting, and have zero social anxiety. Need me to talk in front of a group? Sure! Meet new folks? Great! And I genuinely enjoy doing these things. But it burns a lot of mental energy to do so. I need quiet alone time, too, and a lot of it.

I say this not to make anyone feel bad about social anxiety, but rather to try and make people not feel like introversion is a defect. It is not, in any way, shape or form. So seriously, don't beat yourself up about feeling introverted, if that is how you are. Anxiety is a different beast, and working on that will help. And if you get it under control, and still enjoy an introverted lifestyle, that is 100% OK, normal, and healthy.

Possibly, and i certainly agree that there's benefit in a recipe suggestion tool that is linked to your inventory. It's also a good idea to have something tell you what's coming up to use-by, to reduce waste.

However, that tracking belongs at the kitchen door using a common industry standard format, and the ability to manually enter inventory items.

If you need a different appliance to prepare food from each vendor, then you won't be able to make Alphabet spaghetti with Amazon beef and Apple tomatoes; you can't pop to the local shop to get some milk; you can't go into your garden to pick some carrots; you can't go to a specialist vendor to get a particular spice mix or exotic vegetable; you can't buy your favourite varieties from a local grower.

I can't picture giving up on those advantages just so that Mr. Bezos can tell me what to eat.
If you're going to fire every police officer who doesn't know health privacy regulations, you're going to need a bigger line at the unemployment office.

I'd be amazed if there were more than 10 cops nationwide that can correctly answer simple questions about those laws.
The problem with slashing taxes and then outsourcing all of our public goods and social support systems to private patronage is that then the wealthy get to decide how they will work, with little public accountability.

So if e.g. the main charity in town is a religious group, all of the homeless shelters and soup kitchens will come with a side of proselytizing or decide to turn away supposed blasphemers. Or if some of the main supporters of academic research happen to be motivated billionaires, we’ll see results that suspiciously align with their personal interests. Etc.
Immediately after that point in the video he says he doesn't know anything about it.
Mmm idk I've been here for 30+ years and we always seem to have one or two weeks of intense heat and its not clear to me that its that much worse. I certainly remember the summer of 2002 when we had some 100+ days in August (I remember this because I was playing golf at Stanford and getting utterly toasted)
would you mind to share your booking specific adblock rules?
Keep the humidity in mind if you do this. Out in Saudi it is the desert so evaporative cooling works outstanding. Where I am the humidity often gets up to 100% overnight so you would just be sleeping with a soggy warm sheet all night.
The video isn't advertising this as a shell you'd use in production.

It's an interesting resource to learn how shells work and are implemented. It doesn't cover absolutely everything, but it was never meant too.
I did. I received an offer that I turned down for unreleated reasons.

Ah! Ok that makes a lot of sense :-)
He has been found out using stylometry on his crypto paper.
I'm amazed that this article and most of the comments implicitly assume that Uber is succeeding, and therefore useful as a an example of a successful platform startup.

Uber seems to be failing badly so far, losing increasing amounts of money. The ridiculous corporate shenanigans Uber has been generating seem of a piece with a company that had massive investments, with expectations, and no clear path to profitability.

Here's a link to a page that has some detailed, and damning, critical analysis of Uber's prospects.

The gist of his argument is that Uber is gaining market share by substantially selling their product below cost. But they have not found some kind of magic solution to lowering the cost of providing their services by taking advantage of scale or network effects.

The author argues that Uber is actually a high cost provider, in comparison to traditional taxi services.

Even if you could, that sounds like a bad idea. There's a lot of churn in the hotel industry, the hotel you're booking 7 years out may not even exist in its current form that far in the future, and if it does new/better/cheaper hotels might have popped up next to it. 18 months in advance should be plenty of time.
Even on a normal warm day, so many Palo Alto restaurants are uncomfortably hot inside because of no A/C and poor ventilation. Especially the places that face south or west!
Certainly not retailers in the context of a currency!

Things that rapidly appreciate in value also carry the risk of rapidly depreciating in value. That’s fine as an investment vehicle, but a much less attractive prospect in a currency.

Not sure about Australia, but the most common reason would be local regulations (i.e. laws forbidding to store certain data outside of the borders of a particular region). But given we're talking about Australia, I would not rule out the latency at all.
Thanks for writing this out. The soup analogy is good. I'm probably dymb/not getting it with regard to how it all starts, who owns that fruit initially.

I mean the system is running already and you just join in.

Yeah alright, I'm not arguing over thinking with a bad brain.
