Not really. His plan calls for the proceeds of the taxes to be returned to every adult in equal portions. The "redistribution" is from people who pollute more to people who pollute less, not from the rich to the poor.

Meanwhile, so-called environmentalists and social justice advocates helped to defeat a proposed carbon tax in Washington state, specifically because it returned the revenue to the public (specifically targeting the poor) rather than spending it on their preferred government programs: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/09112016/washington-state...

I don’t see why you’re getting downvoted. This is a good question I don’t know the answer to. Id also like to know what the consequences are of the gov buying back bonds with quantitative easing... which at the very least to me seems to pump value into these bonds that aren’t a really there - esp if the buyback is because the government is not equipped to pay them back.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Web Development and Get a Job?
I can't remember if it was on HN or reddit, but there was a comment//post about how a job site operated similar to this.

To heavily paraphrase over the gist of the second-hand account from the boss: "Our workplace will be rule-free until people start abusing it. When someone goes overboard, a rule against their abuse will be created under their name which will be applicable to everybody; if you think that rule bullshit, go thank that person and a talk with your manager will always be welcome. We do this out of respect for you, our employees; you have our trust until you prove we don't."
Hi, sorry about that, we shouldn't do like above.

You're correct that so far we've been commenting when the person we reply to, can get more feedback about his/her stuff, at usability-testing-exchange (UTX). And, in cases when we've posted lots of helpful feedback, and also a link to UTX, then people have appreciated it, said thanks or upvoted, and some of them went to UTX, helped others over at UTX, and got even more feedback back him/herlself.

In this particular case, though, the actual feedback is brief — about the same length as the "see UTX" line. And I understand that that doesn't feel good.

I think we should write lots of more more helpful feedback, than the text occupied by the "see UTX" line. Look at my other reply (with feedback to OP) on this page for example.

About providing value (which maybe we didn't do so much this time): The purpose is to 1) help the people we reply to, so they can improve their websites & software. And 2) to slightly slightly improve the quality of the ShowHN submissions (feedback —> impovements, better submissions), which I would think is good for the readers here at HN. And 3) making people aware that UTX exists.

So this is supposed to be good for everyone: 1) people who posts ShowHN:s, 2) for the readers here at ShowHN, and 3) for us/me.

However in this case, as mentioned, the "see UTX" line seems a bit distracting and promotional, because the actual feedback is so brief. We shouldn't do like that in the future.

* * *

Sorry @dpandya (original poster) for this off-topic discussion from your point of view. Anyway I guess you're interested in feedback about your service? (Since that is one of the points with ShowHN, right.) — I gave Emphasize a try, and left feedback in another comment here.
Everyone gets hacked (in the sense of 'data breach', not 'encryption cracked' - 90% of compromises seem to be simple social engineering such as spearphishing) sooner or later if the data they hold is interesting enough.

I'd choose a company that says "even if our servers get stolen, your data is safe" over "data breach? us? unpossible!"
That is terrible logic. The same could be said of any bubble in history. Even though tulips reached $X, they still crashed in the end. The problem is that you can't tell that you're in a bubble while you're in a bubble, especially since bitcoin is an asset that is intrinsically difficult to value (unlike, say, a CDO or less-so a tulip bulb).

I'm worried people will lose money seeing all these gains in crypto and taking statements like yours at face value. Just because someone out there made 50x their initial investment in crypto from times t1 to t2 doesn't mean anybody will make this much money after t2.

Cryptocurrency might not go anywhere in general, but there's no reason coin X on chain Y will be worth anything in 10 years. Miners are already pretty ruthless about switching chains to whichever makes them the most money.
I wish they did billing from an Indian entity with GST as well instead of hitting us with massive exchange rate issues
Fuck MLS. It's supposedly a "standard", but every single MLS API endpoint is completely different. As in, there are very few recognizable similarities between any two feeds. The data structures are not actually standardized whatsoever; one MLS will have all listings in a single "table", while another will have 12 different tables that you have to figure out how to parse and/or join. There is some lingo that is fairly standard because of the industry, but the way the data is organized and represented is wholly unique per MLS. And there is no documentation other than an (optional, usually 2-3 word!) description on each field providing little insight.

The protocol used by MLS servers is kind of standardized... expect not really. There's no single way, for example, to accomplish a full download of an initial dataset. Some MLSes let you order by id with an offset, so you can paginate properly. With others you must use date ranges - but you're assuming that a create or update timestamp is actually meaningful, and surprise - they are not. Some let you run multiple concurrent connections so you can increase data throughput, while others only permit one slow connection that makes it takes 6+ hours to download their entire database.

Finally: good luck figuring out when a record is flat out deleted. The MLS may have a separate table where deleted records are supposed to go, but that table is always empty. The MLS nukes data rows with no way for clients to detect the change other than by downloading the entire database from scratch to find the gaps. This requires running hours of queue jobs PER MLS every 24 hours. It's so ridiculously inefficient.

Yeah... fuck MLS. End rant.

Do u have Gate information for live flights?

I am looking for Gate information & Flight schedules by airport.

Ex: I want to be able to query incoming/outgoing flights to Gate-A-10 in ATL today.

-------------

Query to:

find where [Flight DL123] is going next.

[ATL-LAX] -> Landing in 'Gate 10' in LAX

going next to....

[LAX-MIA] -> Landing in 'Gate A1' in MIA

going next to....

[MIA-JFK] -> Landing in 'Gate 1', Terminal 3 in JFK

------------

Gate 10 in Atlanta:

[AA38] SEA-ATL arriving at 6:37A

[AA38] ATL-LAX leaving at 7:45A

(2 hours no flights at Gate 10)

[AA99] JFK-ATL arriving at 9:45A

[AA99] ATL-JFK leaving at 10:45A
A bit off-topic, but since Google's goal seems to be know everything possible about you, so they can sell better, more expensive ads and make more money, they presumably do more than just look for TOS/copyright violations. Otherwise I agree with what you said.

Thanks! I've been working on a series. We are about to go live and start pushing out my devlog content too. We've had to be sort of protective about some of it to make sure important launch IP is protected, but soon!

I'm with you here, they usually come out in the repl. There's always spec too, if it really turns into a problem.

Seems like we could have some tooling that raises a flag if keywords with a short Levenshtein distance were detected.

Thanks for the report. Unlike the rest of the website, that url is not behind a CDN (although the document itself is), mainly because it's on a different domain (for security reasons). For me it's relatively fast, but I'm close to the server. I'll try to get it behind a CDN, too.
It is! But it's better just to check the SES queue for "email was delivered".
As I run my own mail server, what I do is always creating an alias, usually named after the website I subscribe. Like expedia@mydomain.com for example.

This way I can stop unwanted mail if unsubscribe does'nt work by deleting the alias.

It also help to see who is selling your email.

For example, some years ago, I had the problem with bitdefender, as I subscribed as a reseller (!).
I explained what I thought about it to my sell representative, who couldn't find a decent explanation. And stop selling their product. And destroy the alias.
Typography in Mobile Design – 15 Best Practices to Excellent UI
Thanks for this! I would like to bring two things to your attention :

1. We don't know what to use and its very confusing. For example, now there is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42216208/should-tensorfl.... Will freeze_graph become canonical and we forget about SavedModel? And everything else deprecated? It should be part of the core API and workable on CloudML, where we don't have a lot of control on running scripts and certainly not Bazel builds.

2. Android/ios story. Now you have the Pixel Visual Core as well... Please make it seamless all the way to Android or Ios or raspberry pi (whatever you guys support).
In order to "flag" a document they must be scanning it and running it through an interpreter that looks for keywords and phrases.

The users experience with their documents being flagged makes it obvious that Google is scanning every document you create/store there, so the curious mind might ask "why?".

Now, we can all try to believe that Google wouldn't steal from us, or turn us in to government authorities if they saw something that they believed was "unpatriotic", but what if we found out they're getting paid to do that by governments all over the world, or what if you saw some amazing new tech you've been working on suddenly appear from Google?

Could be they're "doing no harm" to anyone, but it might be naive to believe it.

Google is in the business of making money. That is what they do.

More details about this: "I would want the option to give money as "thanks" to the customer, not only a gift card." – the most valuable people to get feedback from, are the ones who abandoned the service?

They are not likely to be interested in a gift card, ... they don't want to use the service any more, right.

But if you pay them money, then they might have time for a phone call with you.

Or, if you send them an email, and ask what problems they found with the service — and tell them that the reason you're asking is that you want to fix the problems. So that maybe some day in the future, the service will be sth they will want to use. That can also motivate them. (But, I think, not enough for scheduling a phone call. Only to write a brief email back to you.)
I deal with MLSs regularly as part of my current job and this was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the parent comment. They are hell to deal with and we would pay a good amount of money to anyone who could standardize all of them and feed them to us in a consistent format.

Half of the time I spend debugging is on figuring out what is going wrong with different MLSs.
A midsized city, when willing to sprawl, build upward, or both, will have housing prices that max out around the cost of construction. Have you ever looked at real estate listings in Houston?

Plus the supply of cheap walkable neighborhoods in the Midwest is very high.
Hardly. Most of these things are because the companies in these industries have an interest in having it the way it is. It has little to do with (not) being sophisticated with technology or because some startup hasn't come to save the day. Startups tend to actually have a very small impact on anything generally speaking. It's rare that one blossoms into a Google or Facebook.
I read the title as War on Drugs. Then, like I normally do, I read the comments before the article, and posted that comment before reading.
This response is fishy as hell. I don't know what Priyanka's title was at WakaTime but I viewed her as the public face of the company, as judged by the dozens of emails I have from WakaTime that all came from her, her activity in the Slack, her blog posts which were removed from the WakaTime blog, etc.

Here's one example of an email from Priyanka on behalf of WakaTime:

>somehow managed to independently come to the decision that the best way to make inventory data available was to push large CSV files to an FTP server you setup.

Good point about the company town aspect, and I'm sure most Zappos employees wouldn't be thrilled with the move. I could see Hsieh being helpful in a transition/evolution to a governance process that scales to small city based on his experience leading Zappos.
I would also appreciate an answer to this question. It's not about "why'd you reinvent the wheel", but rather that I suspect you must have found chart.js while searching for options and decided something was missing or could be improved. I am interested to know how they compare, to have an idea how seriously I should look into this new option.

This is and remains one of my all time favourite scientific research papers.

Understandable, obvious, and not just relevant, actually providing a meaningful contribution to their field by virtue of quantifying existing techniques as not sufficient to fully eliminate spurious data from the 'noise floor' inherent in fMRI machine data.
Public housing is not available to you. Some are probably rent-stabilized. Many are high-floor walkups in tenements. Many buildings in Manhattan have rats. Craigslist has scams but Streeteasy usually doesn't as ads there are paid, though it usually doesn't have the cheapest apartments either.
I'm convinced we work at the same company because you just expressed all of the same pain points that I currently have with MLSs at my job. We have to do so many hacky things to make sure that we follow each individual MLSs rules to get them to actually work.

They are absolutely terrible to work with.
The next time you get such an e-mail, look through the headers (available via "Show Original" in Gmail, IIRC) for a "List-Unsubscribe:" header.

This value will usually be an HTTP URL (it can also be a "mailto:"). That (unique) URL (which is tied to your e-mail address) is then followed in order to unsubscribe you from the list.
Why? Do you somehow believe Australia and New Zealand exist outside of the earth's climate?
> Presumably any process that can use the heat directly rather than converting to electricity would be more cost-effective, as you lose most of the energy in that conversion.

All practical electricity generation technologies do it through heating water just the same, and they produce hot water as a waste product too. So, if your industrial process can use heat directly, it might as well use waste heat from existing power plants.
I'm not a layperson but neither am I working in the field.
You should always differentiate between a national economist (Keynes - spend when you are in recession, stockpile in progression - gives a stable rise) and the corporate stooges (Friedman et al - always spend forever in debt - gives erradic ups and down which enables aristocracy to contain power by having better access to information).
No, when you want to classify a new sample, you take a model trained on the complete labeled data you have and use the prediction of that. The validation procedure using those 34 models trained on subsets of the data is just to tell you how accurate you should expect the result to be. Afterwards, you can throw those models away.

Of course you could build an ensemble model, but if you want to know the expected accuracy of doing that, you need to include the ensemble-building into your validation procedure. (Or use some theorem that lets you estimate the ensemble performance from that of individual models, if that is possible.)
As someone who really likes Haskell, I've found the response to the talk from Haskellers, like in that thread, really disappointing. The common refrains indicating that Rich doesn't understand Haskell, types, etc. are patronizing and likely incorrect. (I realize he's trying to hit a few targets, from C++ to Java to Haskell in one go, so it's not always clear which he's complaining about.)

The other response I see is that if he were only aware of feature X (mostly row polymorphism), then that solves his issue. Often feature X is some immature Haskell extension, or exists in research or still niche languages. I don't think switching to Purescript is going to solve more than one of his issues, if even that. And the last thing I've seen is a bunch of folks trying to torture the crap out of Map to prove him wrong (not really) about some offhand point or another.

By and large I've seen a lot of (pedantic) sniping at specific phrasings without much attempt to grapple with the larger points.

The casual dismissiveness of users of dynamic languages (programmers use them because "dynamic types are easy" says one commenter -- about a talk from a guy who has famously thoroughly dissected the notion of "easy.") along with the inability to actually engage with the broader ideas has kinda turned me off the Haskell community.

Lastly, it seemed clear to me from the video and transcript that he was saying performance optimization, not (just) Intellisense, is a clear win for static over dynamic types. And "Intellisense" is kinda just a shorthand for static analysis generally. Again, the point is not that types don't have benefits, its that those benefits come with costs. I think Haskellers often underplay the costs associated w/ dealing with the type system, underestimate how little reach the type system has in an open system where data's flying around arbitrary services, and overstate how much preventing internal inconsistency bugs solves all problems.

I like Haskell, OCaml, F#, etc. I think they make a lot of hard things simpler and help me reason about certain programs better. But they're not panaceas.
Use a different exchange.
Writing documents is a use case for the general public.

Writing code is not the same. In general, programming tools _are_ getting better (text editors, debuggers, IDEs, etc).

The only barrier to non-programmers is learning how to program.

It's the same with writing. The tools _are_ available. But you still need to know how to write. I mean how to put words together in a way that people would want to read.
In all fairness...

Most major browsers, including Edge and Chrome, do this and are really good at it.

Most major browsers do this too, and they have well-established update pipelines that can patch vulnerabilities in short order.

Most major browsers do this (e.g., "boringssl").
