You have Haskell and OCaml backwards. Certainly Haskell's semantics might seem simpler, but that doesn't make it simpler to program in, which seems to be what you're saying.
Strangely, Airbnb has another problem that is the exact opposite. My wife started to book a unit, got to a point where it said she had 9 hours left to complete the booking, and then someone else booked it first. She was so angry because it seemed to clearly indicate that she had X time left to complete the booking. She messaged the host again to find out what happened; apparently this can only occur when instant booking is available (and the host cannot deny another potential guest in order to keep days open for a pending guest).

Having seen dark patterns described/decried on HN, I thought it was funny that Airbnb apparently has accidentally-light patterns.

While the theft of trade secrets central to developing self-driving cars obviously seems important, and this case might have a significant impact on the future market for autonomous vehicles, it's not clear to me where these damages numbers are coming from.

Neither Waymo nor Uber have actually made much money from self-driving cars at this point - Uber has its small-scale pilot programs, and Waymo has R&D partnerships with companies like Avis and Lyft. But unless there are some major potential deals that Waymo missed out on because of Uber's mere presence and their quick development of self-driving technology, I can't imagine they'd be able to argue that they've been damaged at this point - this isn't like a patent case where companies are making money off their products.

It'd be interesting to see a more unusual argument from Waymo, though - something like "The trade secrets Uber stole allowed them to more easily recruit engineers, reducing the talent pool available to us and delaying the wide release of our own product."
Commissions vary depending on a lot of factors. My property in the south of France, we pay 10% and it’s well worth it. It’s incredible lead generation and saves us a ton on marketing and advertising. I’m happy to pay the commission because for small hotel owners, it’s much easier than having to spend continuously on marketing.

I don’t think this is a transformation that can be performed by only stretching and deforming the surface (e.g., the maps of a city with time units vs distance units aren’t homomorphic).

Imagine starting on the far south end of a congested city surrounded by a circular, relatively low-traffic highway. Points on the northern end of the city would be “closer” on such a map than points directly in the center.

You could certainly define a transformation that accounts for this, but I think it would necessarily defy most people’s intuitive interpretation of such a map.

Maybe someone here knows the answer to this:

How much of this stolen stuff would already be disclosed (or soon to be disclosed) in patents?

Do they really just try and protect these inventions largely as trade secrets?

If it's largely covered by patents, then obviously there is some value in knowing what has been tried/has actually worked. But doesn't patent coverage give them Google/Waymo a stronger way to protect these inventions?

It kind of reminds me of what Uber decided to do in their UberEats app, which is organize restaurants by how long delivery will take and not say anything about how many miles away the restaurant is or what its address is. You can't sort by distance or display a map. So it ends up being really annoying if you would rather deal with nearby restaurants you end up doing a lot of flipping back and forth from google.

Safeway also has their own grocery delivery service, so there's more synergy for you. I do think by far the biggest bonus here is gaining access to Safeway's experience, and supply chain. It's not an easy thing to get right, and definitely easier in most cases to buy that existing expertise/system, or be bought as in this case.

I wonder if more delivery systems might go this way, instead of partying with a bunch of restaurants that mostly can't support them because of their existing terrible margins. In a sense Amazon and Whole Foods are already there now, since Whole Foods has a huge line of prepared foods, pizzas, sandwiches, etc... and they already deliver. If they expanded that a little bit, use their own supply chains and produce, and essentially set up warehouses to prepare various kinds of meals to be rapidly delivered by Amazon. Basically everything they need is already there, it's just putting it together. How often would that kind of option win out over something relatively overpriced, and often potentially less healthy like Caviar, Dining In, or Dashed?

Great description of the problem (and great description of what we could have instead)! What came to mind as I read what you said here was a bit that I caught Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about from 8 years ago. As I heard him say this, I thought he was right on point, but I also felt sad that it's pretty obvious we're not thinking like this in computing. It turns out this is not just a problem in computing, but in science funding generally. That's what he was talking about, though he was quite polite about it:

It strikes me that a very corrosive thought process in our society has been to politicize the notion of "how competitive we are" economically. Sure, that matters, but I see it more as a symptom than a cause of social problems. I hate seeing it brought up in discussions about education, because sure, competition is going to be a part of societal living, and in many educational environments, there's some aspect of competition to it (a story I heard from my grandfather from when he entered medical school was, "Look to your left. Look to your right. Only one of you will be graduating with a medical degree," because that was the intended ratio along the bell curve), but bringing economic competitiveness into education misses the point badly. I understand where the impulse to focus on that comes from, because globalization tends to produce a much more competitive economic landscape, where people feel much more uncertain about basic questions they have to answer. Part of which is creating the life they want, but often people end up missing a significant part of actually creating it (if it's even feasible. What I see more often is a compromise, because there are only so many hours in a day, and only so much effort can be put into it) in the process of trying to create it. They get caught up in "doing," as you said.

As I've thought back on the '60s, it seems like while there was still competition going on, the emphasis was on a political competition, internationally, not economic. There was a significant technological component to that, because of the Cold War/nuclear weapons. The creation of ARPA and NASA was an effect of that. My understanding is we underwent a reorientation in the 1980s, because it was realized that there was too little attention paid to the benefits that a relatively autonomous economy can produce, killing off bad ideas, where what's being offered doesn't match with what people need or want, and allowing better ones to replace them. That's definitely needed, but I'm in agreement with Kay that what education should be about is helping people understand what they need. Perhaps we could start by telling today's students that if and when they have children, what their children need is to understand the basic thought-inventions of our society in an environment where they're more likely to get that. Instead, what we've been doing is treating schools like glorified daycare centers. Undergraduate education has been turned into much the same thing.
At this point, what is happening in Catalonia is not a fight for Independence; it is a fight for Democracy and against the authoritarianism of the central government.

I think this is the closest it gets: "Your Urbit instance is your personal server. Your urbit should eventually contain and manage your whole digital life. You may compute at home or in the cloud, based on your security/privacy tradeoff, but Urbit's formal semantics makes ships trivial to migrate. You'll never be locked in to one computing provider."

Thoroughly disagree. While I do think Equifax should be raked forcefully over the coals for their gross and pervasive misconduct, setting up something that is virtually equivalent to a phishing site does not punish them or create relief for exposed parties. It just sows more confusion, and creates a distraction that Equifax could conceivably use to divert attention away from their own fiasco.

Until Google is willing to truly support their Pixel/Nexus devices for more than 2 years, I'm not sure what difference this will really make. Not that Samsung and others are all that great, but I guess I had hope that Google might do more with their branded phones.

EDIT: I have removed what I said about what I think how usable the language is, because it's off-topic.

I'm not sure it's the least over-engineered language.

What you say is like saying that C is simple because there is only memory and functions!

Or, to take from for example https://argumate.tumblr.com/post/118013166244/python-what-if...

Python: What if everything was a dict?
Java: What if everything was an object?
JavaScript: What if everything was a dict *and* an object?
C: What if everything was a pointer?
APL: What if everything was an array?
Tcl: What if everything was a string?
Prolog: What if everything was a term?
LISP: What if everything was a pair?
Scheme: What if everything was a function?
Haskell: What if everything was a monad?
Assembly: What if everything was a register?

But in any case, there are typically lots and lots of details (Haskell is no exception), and they matter. And also, it takes a lot of experience to get anything of quality done!

I like what Jonathan Blow calls this pattern: "Big Agenda language". It might make a programmer's life harder if the language is so opinionated. (Start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH9VCN6UkyQ)

He specifically named Haskell, Java, and a few others, as being guilty of that, and being less usable for sticking to ideological purity.

Give me a break. The same three letter agency that convinced Intel to do this will convince Apple to do the same. I'm guessing you're basing your faith in Apple based on their refusal to cooperate in the San Bernadino case[1] and the so-called "cop button" in iOS 11[2]. (And some generic "we value privacy" rhetoric that I won't bother linking.)

That stuff is great but doesn't mean much. Just because they're blocking border agents from trivially imaging phones at the border doesn't mean that they won't cooperate at a higher level with some undocumented baseband features.

Just as Defense in Depth is a concept in security, we've already seen a corollary "Offense in Depth" from the intelligence community. Is the best attack in the random number generator[3] or undocumented silicon[4] or intercepting your boxes on the way to your data center[5] or tapping your fiber[6] or stealing your certs[7] or paying your employees to go rogue[8]? Why choose when you can just do them all.

Apple hardware is vertically integrated and utterly undocumented. The AMT chip has been present on motherboards since 2006[9]. The Snowden Introspection Engine found that the Wifi Chipset remains powered up even when Wifi is turned off.[10] I find it hard to believe that the same government who went to all these lengths to compromise our infrastructure would really let Apple get away with refusing. How did that turn out for Joseph Nacchio?[11]

It seems that if you bought a star earlier then Tlon will "[...] write [Ethereum smart-] contracts that help galaxies and stars distribute their stars and planets" such that the "[...] star owner configures the planet sale contract with two parameters: the price in ether of a planet, and the number of planets available."

Basically, star owners will be handed a mechanism to run their own mini-ICO, where planets represent ICO tokens.

Why would you want to buy a planet from star owner X? I presume the answer lies somewhere in the statement: "Galaxies and stars are network infrastructure. Regular users have planets."

Why? You probably buy some things from Walmart/Apple/Amazon, right? Do you get to elect board members? Hire and fire the CEOs?

No, you don't, and I would wager that any corporation operating that way would be run into the ground extraordinarily quickly.

Why should someone who is effectively a customer of a government (taxpayer) make the managerial decisions of that corporation?
Many many chefs who rise to the top of the game, well they're interesting people to say the least. Not unlike professional soldiers, firefighters, or frankly pirates. Some however I just really really good with food, or really nerdy about food, and I don't really "chef types" per se. However in this world a lot of times people are drawn to being a chef because of a dream of high-level success, or television fame... that also draws a particular kind of person, especially the one who succeed.

I want to emphasize though that some of the highest performing chefs don't fit this model I'm talking about, to be completely fair. I think they would agree with my assessment however, at least in many cases.
Patents start from the filing date and last twenty years. Some of these things Google has could be several years old already, and it's unlikely that self driving cars will be on the road for at least another few years. Patenting something in 2010 that won't be profitable until 2020 means you've killed half the lifetime of the patent, so in that case a trade secret may be much better.
The point is that there is a balance somewhere between too much free market and too much inequality.
