The aim of the challenge is to predict crime hotspots which for the most part don't vary much I'd think? The challenge then becomes identifying cluster density as a function of time which might mean using past data makes sense.
So by Mr Money Mustache method, you look at the 4% rule.

1mm = 40k per year forever

2mm = 80k per year forever

3mm = 120k per year forever

4mm = 160k per year forever

Pretty set with anything past 2mm in most of the US, maybe you would want 3 or 4 if you really like SF.
Waugh does not deny that the Catholic Church has aesthetic splendors to offer; what he denies is that such splendors provide a reliable basis for accepting the Church’s claims as true. The feelings such splendors produce are sporadic and transitory, and those who wallow most deeply in them will feel cheated and distraught on the day their magic fails. Rather it is the ordinary daily Mass, the opus operatum, performed and assisted at out of duty rather than desire, that points to the objective reality of a universal immutable faith: Your preferences have not been considered.

This is a fairly rare insight, and it generalizes pretty well. Honeymoon phases are nice, but they are not to be trusted.
Personally I figured that the words Emacs and Kickstarter in the same headline would induce lots of surprise with HNers. Alas, I didn't know about the penalty. Its existence is obvious in retrospect, though.

It's not a joke. I call it "grantbait". Write a dubious research article with a very controversial result that is easy to explain, use some overhype, then ask for more money for research.
They've already moved to become a full forwarder, including warehousing, order consolidation and other services (or are in the progress), so I imagine this valuation is based on the market for forwarders, not brokers.

from the article: Petersen told Forbes he expects revenue of $500 million this year, yet that still makes Flexport an underdog. “There are 25 freight forwarders that each do more than $1 billion in revenue a year,” he said.
My mind is blown at Apple's 1976 logo!
I'm sure that it is much more complicated than this, but I wonder how long the virus can remain immune to all previous '99%' cures? Maybe eventually we could come up with enough of these and then administer them all at once.
No. Imagine a manager... you still have to maintain the team until you are gone. Otherwise you will get more angry emails and more angry calls from the upper management despite you are "fired". It's a torture, because you know your work isn't going to make big change anyway. If you like your team, you are there just to protect them...but that sucks... what a paradox.
This isn't even remotely true. Years ago I signed up for AL, and the situation was exactly as the OP described in "real life": you had to be connected to get connected. Revenue does not matter.

Or rather, did. I don't know if it's any better now, but I doubt it.
There's nothing wrong with iterating user interface design for better UX, especially when you've made reasoned decisions, based on feedback and user research, as to why the new designs will be helpful to your user base. Read through the links you've listed, and you'll notice that the latest changes are all based on usability testing and direct user feedback.

In my opinion, they're doing everything right here. They're not changing designs because some designer disliked the color or popup animations. They're arranging their functional components to align with what they're finding (experimentally) is most usable for their user base.
Sure. I actually agree, and like I said elsewhere in this thread, Postgres is my favorite database, and using it is something that I'd like to do for as long as possible. MongoDB's main selling point, after all, is expediency.

What I'm tired of is the rhetoric built upon the dichotomy that Postgres is ACID and MongoDB/NoSQL is not. As it stands, neither is, in any scalable fashion. And in no way is Postgres a panacea for every possible kind of data problem.

And like you said. It's not saying much to say that a database management system is ACID as long as you constrain your updates to a single machine.

There are better things on the horizon, databases that can actually do it all.
The burning desire to build from scratch is simply because it is easier and because it tend to be more verbally valued by management then working on older product which tend to be snarked at as merely maintennance.

The moment management praise also people working on less new and gives them appropriate salaries and autonomy, burning desire changes - except in few people who are truly naturally like that. It is win win, because the remaining people tend to be trully better in cutting edge tech problems.
Or maybe a panel you could attach to a Raspberry Pi. Children would love this.

Yeah, they’ve added more features which end up using more memory. For the small version you’re talking about you might look at gogs.io. Haven’t used it, but I hear good things.

Every time I see stuff about Postgress it sounds so much better than MySQL.

Every time I get a new job, the existing system is using MySQL.(Every time it causes problems of some sort of other - it's not a bad database, but has too many quirks like JavaScript that will end catching you out at some point).

Last time I got to build something new the time pressure was so great I had to use MySQL, because it was there, set up and working and I knew it. I wanted to use Postgres, but at the end of the day the extra time setting it up wouldn't really have been much benefit as it was a fairly standard Django app, and didn't need any of Postgres's extra features. (I quit that job shortly afterwards).
But Windows also has that option: "When I press the power button: [Dropdown]", and one of the options is "Do nothing"...
Ask HN: How to get to top of tech field?
What should people be doing that have started their technical careers in the tech industry so that they maximize their earning potential? There's more to life than money, but let's limit the scope of the question to this one objective for clarity.

For instance, I'm an individual contributor Research Scientist at AWS. Should I become increasingly technical and aim to publish in machine learning outlets above all else, thereby building reputation? Should I just focus on building stuff for the business? Should I try to move into management? I realize this partly depends on what the individual wants to do, but in reality most organizations don't have a very deep technical track (Amazon is an exception), so it makes sense to choose one over the other if you're trying to maximize earnings.

Ultimately the fear is that becoming increasingly technical might paint one into a career corner that's inescapable. Thoughts?
There's not going to be much public pressure on TfL to reverse this decision. Most Londoners don't use Uber, and there are plenty of alternatives.
I find the original HN site easy enough to read, as long as I have the following Greasemonkey script active:

Having the width reduced makes reading much quicker, since you don't have to scan such a long line of text. I would encourage everyone to try it.
"For unions to regain ground, governments will have to give them a nudge. Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich recommends Washington make it easier to form unions, impose harsher penalties on companies that fire organizers, and banish “right-to-work” laws in states that allow workers to benefit from unions without paying dues, considered a back door to weakening them."

Well no duh, we're in this mess because worker's powers have been completely gutted. But does he actually believe this current administration or Congress will give workers an inch?

> But... it was a question...

Which is why I addressed this in the next sentence:

> If you have an honest question that will move the discussion productively forward, please, by all means ask it.

Does it move the discussion productively forward? What is the motivation for your question? Where do you expect the discussion to go from here? This isn't a question like "Where's the post office?" where the expected response is likely the effective end of the conversation. You're asking about morality. Do you think your parent has the same values as you? Are you looking to tease out some difference so you can argue about them? Show them that they're wrong? Find some points of agreement? Solve some underlying common issue? HN really isn't the place for general ideological debates. They're by definition off-topic. And regardless of what another has commented, we can show restraint and not continue a thread that is wandering off into incendiary weeds.

Edit (in reply to your addendum above): It does seem clear that you're looking for some kind of argument. Please don't. Let the thread die on the vine.

I don't intend to continue this any further. I do encourage you to review the link I provided, and perhaps review the recently updated HN guidelines, which includes similar points.

After wondering for a second how people were testing this stuff, I realized I could just fire up the Simulator from the new version of Xcode that just updated itself.

Pretty cool that it's so easy to try out! And especially that you don't have to blow $1000 on a real device if you don't want to.

(Sucks if you're not using OS X, of course...)
The greater point is that if you put something really useful next to something really annoying it will exacerbate the issue.

F1 should not be so bad, and it should not be so close to F2. Even just leaving alone how bad, and utterly useless, the help dialogues in Windows are it's just terrible UX design.

It would be like having a "eject engine block" button next to the "start car" button. One day you're going to hit it instead of the one you meant... Annoying / dangerous UI controls should be kept out of the way of the more common features.
> confiscate

Steal. Confiscation without a warrant is theft. With a warrant they may be able to search, but failing to return within 48 hours is also theft.

Alas, the government steals so much in so many different ways, and runs schools indoctrinating children in "patriotism" that its hard for people to see these things anymore.

No, it implies that they are not illegal, and I would agree. That doesn't necessarily mean they are legal - they are alegal since US law does not apply outside its borders. Just like there doesn't need to be a US law making it legal for you to hire a prostitute in the Netherlands or gamble in an Indian reservation.

Admittedly, that argument is not very convincing for the US in particular so pretend we are talking about some other country that is not the self-appointed world police.

Worth considering:

I think the reason this topic is so hot is not because of the study, but the "What if other people use this as a justification for X?" fear.

For example, if it turns out that there are certain physical traits that predict sexuality, does this imply a physiological component (rather than a purely psychological one)? If there is a physiological component, I think some people worry this can be used to "pathologize" alternative sexualities.

However, what if all the endocrine disrupters we're exposed to daily [1] that act as estrogens play some role in this? What if we make the topic so unspeakable that we fail to recognize environmental contamination causes both physical differences [2] and sexual differentiation differences [3]?
This is part of the reason I think we can't reject information that may allow some socially-backward conclusion. Because we don't know all the other good things (i.e. medical) that information may be necessary for.

Prove it.

Seriously. There was much to question about the investigation, the "report" was less than credible and other than press releases form the government there is not much proof of who was behind what happened that day.

Of cours there were a lot of stunts like miraculous passports showing up blocks away unsinged, while "jet fuel" brought down concrete and steel buildings, including a building that wasn't hit by a jet nor doused in fuel (WTC 7)
Yeah it is surprising to see such a hacky design when they literally only had one use case.

I also don’t understand why all browsers are adding css properties just to support the new iPhone, but maybe I don’t understand how this committee works.
I could totally believe that. A studio like A24 might not be financially viable if they weren't able to put out a few highly rated movies every year.
Who cares if developers want to get paid more?
Been using gitlab for a while, I love it -- but the new look in 10.0 is bleghghgh,

They say you can change the theme but why not make the default grey or white instead of that awful indigo? And they do not allow a default theme from the admin section (that i could find).

Im also slightly concerned about the feature creep here, I love that they try out new devops and CI tools but I wish you could get just a stripped down interface and turn the features you want on and off. The UI is becoming cluttered and the RAM usage is climbing because of it - not everyone is running hot-rod servers and a huge dev team!

Besides that good work and thanks for having a community edition, it keeps small teams like mine alive!
They could have acknowledged that F1 is "help" and really slow / annoying, so putting a much useful function onto F2 was probably a bad idea. They could have put what F2 did onto a different shortcut.

For instance, they could make F2 something that was infrequently useful and unintrusive, then made F3 do what F2 did. So if you mispress, you don't do the even worse F1 thing.
Re the "know how to hustle" thing - building a successful business takes a lot of "hustle". If someone succeeds at that, they've proven that they can do it.

The notion that someone needs to meet some invisible bar of proof beyond building a successful company is - to me - yet another symptom of the damage SV has inflicted on the minds of a generation of technically inclined enterpreneurs.

I think that there should always be more work, but there should not always be more critical work. This minimizes idleness while allowing non-critical tasks to be pushed aside when handling emergencies.

For example, my team has a backlog of work to be done. There are certain things that cannot slip. There are plenty of things that could be pushed out to handle a production outage, or a shiny object, etc.
Same here. If you don't already have a well-connected lead investor or a well-connected board member/advisor then AL will be a ghost town for you.

i also remap caps -> ctrl, but have bindings for `fj` & `jf` in insert mode to exit back to normal mode, on the theory that you basically never have to type either of those letter combos (it has come up maybe twice in the five years i've had it set up). and even if you do have to type one of those letter combos, all you have to do is wait for ~half second between keystrokes and it works fine.

I've seen that argument too, but it is false. There are no clauses in the constitution and particularly the bill of rights that limit rights to only US citizens on US soil. (other than restricting that the presidency be held by a citizen.)

The constitution is a document that granted very limited power to the federal government and very broad rights to the citizens.

All of what we have now-- from the TSA to the the NSA to DOE is unconstitutional.

At 14M you are already in the territory where a jet card is definitely something you could afford. If I had that sort of money, I would use a jet card for flights within a continent and go first class commercial for intercontinental (and definitely use VIP terminal or at least meet and greet services).

But at 50M you might be looking at fractional jet ownership already.

There is a difference and it's a big one.

That argument is wrong, the constitution not only applies to US citizens while they are out of the US, but it also applies to people who aren't US citizens.

"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive ANY PERSON of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to ANY PERSON within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
> Does it move the discussion productively forward?

Yes.

> What is the motivation for your question?

To know if we are discussing about public health issues or moral believes. If it is the later, then there is no point continuing the discussion.

> Where do you expect the discussion to go from here?

If the motivation behind his comment was morals, then I don't expect the discussion to go anywhere. It is a dead end.

If it is about public health, we can continue the discussion.

You are doing the exact same thing you are accusing me of. It would be a good time to follow your advice: "Please default to the strongest possible interpretation of another's comment.
Give them the benefit of the doubt."

As I mentioned all I wanted to know is if he is trying to have a discussion about morals or public health. Because if it is the first then I don't want to be part of the discussion.

(Edit in response to your edit) You are starting an argument on my post, and when I reply to your argument you make a passive aggressive edit to your post accusing me of not dropping the argument. And you drop it, by making a non-reply reply?
I'd like to point out that there is solid science that suggests there are, on average, physiological differences between gay and straight men (possibly women too, but I'm less versed in this research).

Another example trait is the number of ridges on your thumb, for example.

I'm not sure why people are so hostile to the idea that one of these traits might be in facial structure. I don't really see what the risk is.
