Which is frustrating, because Caddy is a great product, especially from a solo operator standpoint. Configuration is simple and the defaults are sane. The humans behind Caddy are nice people.

And while this move has somewhat soured my opinion of the project, I'm not so much angry as I am... sad. I want to use Caddy. I am using Caddy. But I don't want to use this Caddy, at the moment.
It happens with large javascript files (bundles). I use this:

Not sure which is at fault (if either).
I understand that the source is available.

My surprise is that you think anyone will pay $50 per month per instance forever, for a build service they might use only once, and that still requires them to actually do all the work to install it and run it as a service.

>You can, with a modicum of effort, learn the market as well or better than a real estate agent

This is the sort of reasoning that people say that pay for the used car salesman's boat.

You are going to buy, what, 5 houses in your life? If you're a big mover.

Real estate agents spend their entire life doing the thing you do once every couple of years at most. Why do you think you'd be better than them?

This is like saying that you, as the person who walked out of a 48-hour boot camp, can code that JS program better than the veteran programmer because she doesn't specialize in Javascript.

You want to spend 6 months doing research? Real estate agents are spending years! There's a bit of principle-agent problems when working in this, but still. Beyond the information parity, there's simply knowing how to do sales and getting people to sign the contract.
So why is this better, exactly? Seems like it just takes longer to accomplish the same goal (finding FMV). Buyers are still not guaranteed their offer will be accepted unless they gratuitously overpay (by offering list price).
Awesome list!

Not entirely true. I met a few former Brigadier and Major Generals at high levels within amazon (you can consider that snark if you want).

There's still a wall though at the VP/SVP level where advanced degrees basically become meaningless. You either need to be close friends/confidants with every single person above you (and by that, I mean across the board, not just direct reports), or you need to come from a C-level position from some other public company.
Oh if I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to sleep :)
No, otherwise I wouldn't ask.
It's OK not to be convinced by an argument, even a mathematical proof, and especially an informal proof.

But Cantor's argument is correct.

If you don't find a mathematical proof convincing even though all the trained mathematicians seem to believe the proof is correct, here's my advice. You should FIRST convert the proof into a sequence of valid deductions in a fixed logic. (If you cannot do this, you don't understand the proof/theorem; perhaps (re-)take a few mathematics courses.) If you can find a mistake in the completely formal proof, then you can convert that mistake into an informal explanation. If your disagreement boils down to a disagreement with a axiom in the formal system even though most mathematicians accept it as an adequate foundations, realize you're getting close to philosophy.

This advice is meant for people at the first phase in Terry Tao's hierarchy of mathematical maturity. So not great advice if you're a genius or a trained mathematician (read: people call you doctor).

> There is only one infinity. It means "repeat". It is simply the interplay of finite state with process. You can think of it as an "infinite loop" in programming. To say that one infinity is smaller than another is to deny that the smaller is infinite. Infinite means without bound.

But "modeling non-terminating loops in a computer program" is NOT the motivation for real numbers, so this foundational criticism of completing the rationals makes absolutely no sense.
Maybe this is a pretty good test of the free-market to self-regulate. Most people wouldn't shed a tear for one hate site going down. But if someone else takes the reigns of this company and starts following Twitter or YouTube's example, what would stop another competitor from filling that void and taking the money from jilted sites?

> The four-bed, two-bath house — less than 2,000 square feet — listed for $1,688,000 and sold for $2,470,000.

Using a ballpark figure of $500/mo per $100K of house, this comes out to $12,500/mo. That's $150K/year, mostly after tax (there's a bit of a deduction for interest but let's ignore that for now). Using the standard 30% rule, that means you should have a gross income of about $500K.

What I'm questioning is, how many people are there with that income level to eventually sell these insanely expensive houses to? Sure you have a bunch of all cash offers but that eventually dries up as well right?

Plus 4BR at 2000sqft isn't particularly spacious. And only two bathrooms at that size? IMHO that's insane.
If France is anything like Denmark, the price is usually based on a combination of a public and a private valuation of the house (both of which are available to buyers upon request). You can give it any price you want, but since buyers can get an insight to its valuation, the asking price is usually around its valuation.

So as I understand it, the strategy is usually to sell the house for a much higher price than its valuation, hoping someone is really interested in the house. And as time passes, you keep lowering the price until you get a buyer.
Yes, but the reality people are facing is that it's either that or rapists go free most of the time.

Gratuitous appeal to emotion. Sublime is already paid software, they are already eating, the commenter wasn't asking for it for free. It is not on the cheap end either - I have paid less for way more powerful and man-hours-consuming image/vector editors. Everything is fine.
I don't think that's true anymore. Do you have any examples?
This is exactly why Amazon is a horrific place to work for engineers and why they are such a complete failure with products.... for every success Amazon has about a hundred failures (Amazon catalogs online, amazon moving listings, A9, etc.) Amazon throws money at ideas and throws ideas against the wall to see what sticks.

AWS was launched as a fraud (using no amazon infrastructure at the time, they claimed it was built on the reliable services of Amazon.com) and became a success.... so long as you have unlimited investor money to burn you can eventually be successful this way.

But it is a terrible place to work, because outside of the AWS organization you end up working for idiots.
I guess it must be a cultural thing. In major cities in Sweden 15% over the asking price is the asking price and 50% over the asking price, while rare, is hardly unheard of. No seller ever accepts the asking price unless they're really desperate.

This is getting downvotes but it reflects very closely to what I see. I don't use insta but I go on to browse occasionally of people I follow on snapchat and it's a stark contrast of what you see on the two. Insta pictures are all perfect, perfect posing, perfect lighting, and some bs quote or string of text. Snapchat is the mundane, the normal side of people that I see. People taking videos in the moment.

I don't use fb live or insta stories so I'm not sure how those end up.
For all the comments about listing shenanigans, we're overlooking a basic game theory issue here: when you set a price that looks to be near the value of the home, you're saying you're willing to accept reasonable offers. You're setting an implicit cap on the value of the home.

An obviously undervalued home, though, in addition to driving up interest (and creating a bidding war), suggests a much fuzzier cap so there's less signaling around price and a less obvious ceiling to offers. In other words, buyers are stuck wondering what other buyers might offer, rather than discussing whether to go some normative amount over the ask (like 10-20%).

Also, there's a 'curse of the winner' dynamic in auction-like environments, where the deal will necessarily go to the party that values the asset the highest. (This is evidently destructive to profits in oil and gas leasing auctions, for what it's worth.)

I think that's the dynamic, because no one is actually fooling anyone by underlisting prices, and real estate agents talk to each other and know immediately if something is priced to generate interest, or if the price is closer to what the buyer expects.
The Tale of Creating a Distributed Web Crawler
In much of the world, WhatsApp is the preferred way of communication, instead of Facebook/FBMessenger. I use WhatsApp for very personal conversations with friends and family - breakups happen over WhatsApp, dates planned, personal news are all communicated through WhatsApp. Tapping into these kind of messages which tell FB way more than likes on pictures etc is invaluable for selling ads in my opinion. Even considering E2E encryption, I don't believe FB is not analysing this data when they have the opportunity to do so - the text analysis probably happens on device.
Not being able to use the release binaries (even from github) for commercial purposes is a bummer but if this is the price to pay for having caddy available as open source, then it is fair.

What I am afraid of, is that this friction to start with caddy (because $50 per month is way too much for most use cases) will affect its user base and as a consequence the participation in development. Of course mholt and the team behind caddy are the people who love it the most and care about its future the most, so I trust they will keep pushing forward.

For people who find it difficult to build caddy from source, here is an example, provided you have Go installed and configured:

go get github.com/mholt/caddy
go get github.com/caddyserver/builds

cd "$GOPATH/src/github.com/mholt/caddy/caddy"

# Enable cors, prometheus plugins.
cat <<EOF>caddymain/plugins.go
package caddymain

import (
_ "github.com/captncraig/cors/caddy"
_ "github.com/miekg/caddy-prometheus"
)
EOF

go get -u -v -f ... || echo "Updated dependencies"
go run build.go

Amazon is not a data driven company. Like most "data driven" companies they use the data when it confirms their notations when it doesn't they do what they want anyway and in amazon this is called "bias for action". It doesn't matter how many people you abuse (also favored at amazon) it's all about how you play the political game.

Surely there is no need for argumentum ad verecundiam?
This has sort of happened in some spaces - in certain right-wing communities Twitter has been largely replaced by Gab, Patreon by the aptly named Hatreon, etc.

The issue becomes more severe when it runs up against services that are hard or expensive to start or which rely on other uncooperative services - look at what's happened with Daily Stormer and Bulletproof.ai for example - Bulletproof wants to provide them service, but they're unable to find a TLD thus far which will allow their domain to stay online.
The USA is like that as well. If you receive a cash offer with no contingencies for your asking price then you can't refuse. This is specifically to prevent discrimination against minorities.

In most real world transactions there's some back / forth with the lawyers about details (ex: "We want your ugly drapes!") as well as non-cash considerations. A seller may accept a lower cash offer over a higher mortgage based offer due to fear that the latter may fall through.
Ask HN: Would a server written in a native language still need job schedulers?
I have a suspicion that things like Celery or RabbitMQ or whatever else people are using with Ruby/Python based servers are only needed because these languages are slow and don't really support threads. Even redis would probably be not needed.

I could never find one that is as well thought and as well written as Sublime, and I've tried many, many others before.

OP isn't saying MBAs are good at making data driven decisions. He's saying Amazon is good at making data driven decisions and that their decision to continue hiring MBAs is backed up by their data analysis.
Short answer: Yes.

Medium answer: Yes, by the millions.

Long answer: Of course they will. There is a subset of people who will buy the most expensive thing available just as a status symbol. There will also be some that want the newest tech to play with, and there will also be those that need to have the latest devices for testing purposes. This phone will sell just fine. I'd actually be more concerned about the number of iPhone 8's that sell because the X may cannibalize initial sales numbers.
Agree! I do almost everything in VIM for file-efficient languages and environments (NodeJS projects, Python projects, HTML, C++ ROS packages, most things that promote DRY coding, etc.)

For file-inefficient environments (e.g. Java/Android -- 79 files for a "hello world" Android app!) I have to grudgingly use an IDE because I have no idea how to update the 78 other manifest/gradle/workspace/resource/etc. files based on the 1 file I change and the IDE takes care of the magic, as much as I hate that way of working.

SublimeGit is fantastic. Incremental find (I think it's Ctrl+D) is like multicursor, but it selects the next occurrence of a string, so the cursors don't have to be on adjacent lines.

I also have SidebarEnhancements, Calculate, Alignment, EditorConfig, and Default File Type installed. None of them make a major impact, but they all make the experience a tad nicer.

For a lot of these transactions, the mortgage isn't for the full price of the home. Partially because buyers have other assets (like stock, or cash that needs to be parked somewhere).

But also because the mortgage interest deduction tops out just shy of $1m, I believe. So the government-sponsored giveaway (being able to use pre-tax income to pay for your mortgage interest) tails off quickly, and the rational calculus around loan-to-value shifts dramatically.
I've read that in Sweden, participation of recent immigrants in economy is lower than in most other European countries.

as they mentioned this house is close to that humongous Apple new campus, and the mentioned areas - too. Given the current traffic and what it can become near that campus, one can understandably want to live closer, especially given the current fashion for the biking, walking, etc.
The natural numbers are each finite. In set theory, the standard way they are defined is that they can be constructed by assuming the existence of the empty set (or 0) and assuming that if you "insert a set into itself" the result will be a set. (So they can be thought of as {} = 0, {{}} = 1, {{}, {{}}} = 2, etc.).

The natural numbers are simply the (smallest) set that contains the empty set and is closed under this "insert a set into itself" operation (successor). It only contains finite sets since the successor operation will never turn an finite set into an infinite set.

The existence of this set of ALL natural numbers (an infinite object) relies on an axiom, the axiom of infinity.

There is no transfinite natural number.

I think there is a misunderstanding here that is causing people to talk past each other (and I think the Professor had the same misunderstanding).

There seems to be the idea that paper is making the claims that the person in the grave was a) female and b) a warrior.

However, they are actually only making claim A, that the person was female. The claim that the person was a warrior was made earlier by the archaeological team.

So, if you think the paper is making both claims, then the professors criticisms seem valid, as they are unconvincing in establishing this was a warrior. However, if you know that they're only making one claim, the attacks on the window-dressing of this being a viking warrior appear totally pedantic (as it ignores the main claim entirely).
