Machine Learning for Intraday Stock Price Prediction 1: Linear Models
That makes little sense to me, if they can't get drivers to go to certain routes, then the fare should increase as an incentive should it not? Some sort of market matchup between drivers and passengers is part of what Uber/Lyft should be supplying in their platform.

If a driver has say 15 mins of time part time, or left on their intended shift, as a passenger I really don't want that driver for a 45min trip thinking they need to be somewhere else..

"Of course cars only lasted 50K miles back then before rusting out or breaking down, so you spent some significant fraction of the life of the car babying it."

Oh wow! Seriously!? This is so crazy to me. People always talk about how things were better made "back in the days" but I was always skeptical of that. I haven't lived long enough to know this first hand but being a technology oriented person, I've always assumed things generally get better engineered over time.

Your experience is genuinely shocking because my 2013 BMW has 55,000 miles now and still runs like it's new. I looked under the hood recently just to check on it and the engine bay is still perfectly clean, no oil leaks, etc.
Interesting points but I'm not sure you can easily correlate survival instinct with selfishness. I suffer from chronic depression, but I also have strong survival instincts. I don't feel bad about being alive just because other people have died, as such. Indeed, death bothers me less than ongoing suffering: I was surprised to note that while I feel a bit sad for the people who died the other day in Las Vegas, and very sad for their grieving relatives, I am much more troubled by the ~500 people who were wounded - they're 'lucky' insofar as they're alive and not dead, but the wounds they suffered are likely to impact them for a lifetime, the more so for being unexpected (vs. the sort of trauma you see coming or volunteer and prepare for, as military people do).
> The profit made in US is taxed in the US. Isn't that so?

Hypothetical analogy: say BMW GmbH owned an American subsidiary (BMW Inc) that did all the US manufacturing under license via another subsidiary in Panama. BMW GmbH controls the cost of the IP (design, patents, control software) being licensed to BMW Inc - this cost can be tweaked so that BMW Inc never turns a profit, and so will not pay any American taxes. All the profits will be accumulating in Panama while waiting for Germany to rework its repatriation laws.

My first initial gut thought is, could this be as a good ol cross platform method of password management? I've never been able to properly manage keepass due to syncing between different platforms being a pain.
Awesome... any plans to support LFS? I know with LFS you can write custom backend handlers.
Because it seems like a nightmare based on many things, but, again, you always get the people that are like "my team is amazing and full of geniuses who ship everything on time and never disagree".

Look, if you want to work there, go nuts. It seems like a mostly bad place to me. I'm sorry for that "blanket statement". (Of course if I said it seems like a great place to work that would be just fine.)
I feel like window management is a good way to introduce vimscript as well. Lets you tweak some of the features like having the windows open on the right instead of left or getting rid of the w so it's just ctrl+{hjkl}.
Exactly. Or remap it to any key combination that makes sense for your work, if you like using Capslock for its original purpose, which I happen to.

For example, I have jj and jk mapped to ESC. So I just tap j twice while in insert mode, and it switches to normal/command mode. If you find yourself needing to type jj or jk often in insert mode, just pick other letters that make sense for you.

To use mine, plop these in your .vimrc:

inoremap jj <Esc>
inoremap jJ <Esc>
inoremap jk <Esc>

Does it matter much? If I hose my repo (which I don't think is that easy, since I've been doing this for years and never had an issue) then I can delete it and clone a new one from my local copy. Especially when it's just me, and I'm only pushing to the repo from one machine at a time.

> Not everyone has a driving license.

I'm a 30-something middle-class white male who works in tech in a large Canadian city with excellent public transit. I don't have a driver's license, and I'm constantly running into idiotic barriers because I don't have one. People and processes seem to assume that I do and when confronted with the contrary, a lot of people don't really know what to do.
Isn't that "All of them?"
Actually no, even by the somewhat suspect rules laid out in evolutionary biology the concept of altruism stands out as valuable separate from any immediate gratification in many species.

In case of hurricanes and other natural disasters most people die later due to lack of water, electricity etc.

In case of Equifax, Yahoo etc it is because they simply lied to not look as bad, but then they need to provide accurate information.

IMO if someone broke to a database it should be considered that all data was accessed and all data should be treated as compromised.

Unless break in was to a subsystem and just that subsystem then all data in it should be considered compromised.

SiteStacks can find the technology used at any domain, including a set of roughly 700,000 that we’re regularly checking.

What makes the dataset unique is the combination of programmatic data (code breadcrumbs, network requests, DNS, some NLP, etc.), but augmented by data validated by users directly.

The user validated data is only available on Siftery (e.g. for sitestacks.com/uber.com you have to follow the link through to siftery.com/company/uber to see the full set), but all the programmatic methods are improved by user-validated data (e.g. if a method yields too many false positive, we bump it out).

We think this approach helps create the most accurate dataset of its kind. We’ve done some internal benchmarking and feel really good about it.

We’re looking for feedback on how this can be better, and open to partnering with others who want to make use of this data for good.
> So dividing people doesn't makes sense.

It seems it's more about you thinking that someone else does this here or in the study.

> Now, dividing actions does.

But the study is about actions and how people feel afterwards. It isn't about unselfish people, but about unselfish actions of people.

Sure, if they call the group 'unselfish people' it's not quite right, but that's not the point of the study.
Knowing PHPs standard library, probably something like "urlencode_safe_for_real_this_time".

Apple's total profit after everything, for 2016, was $45.69B on $214.23B. That's over 21% net profit after every expense they have, which is insanely high. Apple's entire reputation is based on having crazy high profits for their revenue. That you're arguing that they have ordinary profit margins is insane.

And no, "most companies" do not have gross margins of 70%.
It can hose your local, too. And it can happen easier than you think--I've seen it happen because a laptop that pushed to Dropbox went to sleep mid-sync and a desktop synced after. Fighting the Dropbox API to unwind it is a huge pain.

git-remote-dropbox works as you would expect a Git remote to work; it's API-driven and actively discourages even syncing the remote repository down to your machine. I would so, so strongly suggest you switch to it if you want to use Dropbox as a store.

Bare-git-repo-on-KBFS is inadvisable for a similar reason, which is why I'm so excited to see what they're doing here.

Does this page make sense? How can I improve it?
Hey HN peeps.

I am starting a new agency and am putting together pages about the services I am going to offer, I have just written up my CRO service page:

http://growthmogul.com/service/conversion-rate-optimisation-cro/

I love getting people to read through it to make sure it all makes sense.

Do you understand the service I am offering? What questions come to mind when reading the page? Any additional information you think would be useful?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks in advance.
For me, it's getting better and better.

And by better, I mean cheaper.

I always buy the uber "passes". So for 20$ a month, you get unlimited rides that are first $5 free. In Boston, I basically go get a meal, park my car, etc. all around the city for free. Just today I dropped off the car at an autoshop and Uber'ed my way to work... how much did it cost me? $0.21. Usually when I'm at work I'm hopping here and there, just a couple of miles -- it's almost always free for me. The wait-time is never more than 5 minutes. It's completely unbelievable. I will be sad when these deals go away.

I do feel shitty though that drivers get paid crap... I rationalize my taking advantage of the system by convincing myself that I will stop when I'm in a financially better health myself and will start leaving big tips (I'm in academia, I'm pretty sure I get paid less than they drivers overall).

Oh, and Lyft is ALWAYS more expensive. I used to check prices for both when I needed to go somewhere... since Uber was always cheaper (and that's leaving Pass discounts asides), I actually uninstalled Lyft app a month ago.
But do I need to be more productive?

It's a tradeoff - I can go home and spend more social time, leisure time and put more personal time into my projects if I sleep less. The 2-3 hours of extra time I get by sleeping like crap allows me to do things I wouldn't otherwise get to do. Productivity couldn't improve these if there's no time left in the day to do them.

It costs me at work, I'm sure of it, but it hasn't gotten me fired or even significantly prevented me from doing my job, so why would I change it? There's no need to be obsessed with scraping every last ounce of productivity out of myself at work. I like my job, but feel no obligation for that.

They are only obvious after you see them.

My only criticism is about articles that confuse the principle with the means you use to obtain it. Yes, do talk about factories and containers, but separate them from the principle and keep in mind that there are many other ways to get it. You don't need a DI container.

Besides, it only provides you an specific kind of testability, that may or may not be the best way to test your code.
I'd beg to differ for that progression. Double Dragon and Final Fight are brawl games. A better progression might be Karateka -> International Karate -> Street Fighter
This removes the ability for collaborating, browsing online, basically any feature of GitLab/GitHub/BitBucket.

... I think I'm in favor of this. I think of the things that those services provide on top of Git should actually be ported or mapped to Git itself. Branches, pull requests, comments, etc... should all be Git objects of some sort.

IDK, if you have self-documenting names, that sort of implies that they're close to unique/disambiguated. Which means that grep does a great job tracking down use (and declaration). And grep doesn't lie like out of date comments will.

I generally comment when I'm doing something really goofy because the 'obvious' method has some subtle flaw. A documentation for the next guy (who has a chance of being me, having forgotten some of the context six months form now) as a "I know you want to refactor this, but it's more complex than you think" warning.
It looks like most European countries had nationwide X.25 networks of some kind at the time. Why did federating these networks never really take off? There were some initiatives it seems (IPSS), but I can't find much information on international services provided over X.25. Was it because of commercial reasons, or were there technical reasons that limited the scalability of these networks?
Again, neither of us are constitutional lawyers, but for an argument like that you have to present and challenge the arguments used in the actual sentence. Conspiracy theories without backing are only useful to those who gain political capital out of them.

Because you’re doing long-term damage to your brain?

Now, it’s possible that you’re not, and the brain can heal itself, but that’s why I try and get enough sleep. It disturbs me to think that the impossibly complex biomechanical machine in my head is slogging through excess waste products to try and crank out acceptable performance.
Depends on vulnerability. If you have RCE (like I understand Equifax had) then encryption at rest is useless, the code can access the data, obviously, so the RCE code can too (maybe with a little more work, but ultimately it is not a barrier anymore).
The first thing I do on a new system is map my Caps Lock key to Escape[1][2][3] so that I can use Vim conveniently without having to reach the physical Escape key placed awkwardly at the corner of the keyboard.

The choice of Escape key to return to normal mode and H, J, K, L for navigation makes total sense if we look at the original Lear Siegler ADM-3A terminal[4] that Bill Joy used while creating vi, but in the modern day keyboard, the choice of Escape key to return to normal mode really disturbs the otherwise fine ergonomics of using Vim.

JWT, JWS and JWE for Not So Dummies
I don't agree with your assertion wanting to live a long long time has anything to do with ego.

It's the definition of ego: a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

It's not a moral argument, it's the recognition that your desire to live all of those lives is an egotistical thing (this is not a judgment).
That pricing argument is worthless when you start talking about percentages. 5% of a $500 device is quite a lot while 5% of some $25 IoT device is not very much.

Qualcomm spends around 5.5 Billion every year in R&D or 23% of net sales. For comparison, apple spends a paltry 2.2% of its net sales on R&D. Dry up Qualcomm's net sales and the R&D will dry up too.

All the most crucial wireless patents (the really fundamental ones) have already expired. Why doesn't Apple design another, competing system around Qualcomm's patents and license it for free? The answer is that it takes a decade and tens of Billions of dollars.

Apple has the money, but it's cheaper to work the courts over so they pay less. If Apple were the ones who built 4G, you can be very sure they'd be charging at least as much as Qualcomm.

Remember, Apple thought the look of their iphone was worth $40 per device when suing Samsung, but now they think the actual technology to make it work isn't even worth $10 per device. If Qualcomm were making the same profit margins (relative to R&D) as Apple, they'd have to go from $10 per device to $100.

I'm not a Qualcomm fan (or any big corporation for that matter), but if we were making a list of price gouging companies, I think there are a lot of companies that should be getting fined and regulated (especially Apple) before Qualcomm.

Well it also lead (among other things) to my parent’s divorce and me and my sister growing up in a single parent home with a dad who claims he’s too broke to pay child support. Afaik he still owes my mum most of it and has turned to skirting the law to get out of debt collector crosshairs.

The problem isn’t that he took the money. The problem is how he did it (unilaterally and without discussion with other people whose money it also was)

And his business did not survive so I didn’t benefit from that either.

Ive never understood why they use nameplate, it should be possible to predict t fairly accurately the yearly output based on latitude or whatever.

Though note that something similar works against solar PV sometimes as well e.g. people will say something like "we use X amount of energy a year, to replace this we need such and such an area of PV.

Often these calculations don't take into account the percentage of coal, gas or oil energy which is thrown away as heat in order to get generate electricity, or move vehicles. (Even when generating heat, electric heat pumps can often do better than 100% by moving it around instead).

That can make PV 3 or 5 times better than it seems. EROEI calculations in particular are bad for this.

How do you use TDD when coding like this?
"The drawback of dependency Inversion is that you need a dependency injection container, and you need to configure it."

This is simply wrong.

You can do dependency injection without a container (using factories, or link-time polymorphism).

Dependency inversion is a lot more general:

Depending on a header file (interface) instead of a specific implementation already is a kind of dependency inversion.

Having a language-independent IR in a compiler also counts as dependency inversion (compared to an implementation where the frontend calls the backend): it prevents dependencies between the frontend and the backend (whose reasons to change generally aren't correlated), by making everybody depend on the IR instead.
It's not them, it's you.
