ohhhhh, I get it. Yes, you mentioned this in your original comment ("the client libraries are usually locking accesses") but I guess I read too quickly.

Though unless you did a truly comprehensive shootout it might be fairer to write: "Be careful using sqlite in production, the client libraries I tried in Python did not handle concurrent reads/writes, whereas clients for postgresql handle it just fine."

Anyway, thanks for the clarification!
Housing is a generational issue. There's today's middle class and tomorrow's middle class. Raising taxes on land does not hurt tomorrow's middle class, and it helps them if more homes get built where they want to live. Land is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. Higher taxes mean the price of the land itself must be lower for people to buy it—the taxes don't cause wealthier people to suddenly show up.

Today's middle class has lots of political power. Tomorrow's middle class doesn't. We're allowing generations to extract wealth from those who come after them without considering the consequences.
And support more airlines and not call yourself southwest monkey. Plenty of airlines have policies about lower prices so there is a market for this.

No, the businesses are taxed, and they pass the cost to the consumer. The "sales tax" itemization the end of the receipt is for informational purposes only.
Founder here: There is one case where I use the name SouthwestMonkey instead of swmonkey. I realize that that was a bad naming decision. All the other references to southwest are to the Airline and not this service.
>in most prisons in the US, prisoners generally aren't actually cuffed or restrained unless they're being punished.

Maybe I wasn't very clear, this was while we were walking around among them and talking with the prisoners. I don't think any US prisons would allow students (this was for a study abroad class) to walk among and interact with unrestrained prisoners for safety reasons.
My background is in test automation (on user interfaces). Is it correct to say in ML the concept of test automation is irrelevant? Because during training and predicting the model is already being validated for accuracy and correctness.
I copied the relevant bit from here (http://www.businessinsider.de/sundance-nobody-speak-gawker-h...):

> But two months after the verdict, it was revealed that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel was responsible for financing Hogan's case against Gawker. It was also revealed that the major motivation for Thiel to do that was less because he was sympathetic to what Hogan was going through and more that he wanted Denton and Gawker to feel his wrath after the site ran a story in 2007 outing him as being gay.

I just wanted to second Matthias247's comment: why is this a problem? I'm sitting in front of a 4 year old iMac. I have VSCode open currently with 3 windows containing 3 projects and code in 5 languages. The total CPU load for the aggregate 22 process group is less than 1% and while it's not using no memory it's not using more than, say, Chrome or Slack use.
It's a media trope, and I have little reason to doubt it, but it's surprisingly hard to come up with decent statistics on average delays and punctuality for Japanese public transport beyond the Shinkansen (average delay < 1 minute).

DB (Germany) publishes a monthly average: https://www.bahn.de/p/view/service/auskunft/puenktlichkeit_p...

As does OEBB (Austria): http://www.oebb.at/de/rechtliches/puenktlichkeit-oesterreich

SNCF (France) has excellent data available:
https://ressources.data.sncf.com/explore/dataset/ponctualite...

The statistics from SBB (Switzerland) are worse than I would have expected:
http://sbb-puenktlichkeitskarte.mxm.ch/?lang=1

Roughly in line with the rest, but as I understand they designed their timetable to make sure that people can make their connection, and they report a figure[1] that does bear that out:
https://reporting.sbb.ch/en/quality

Maybe somebody who speaks Japanese can find something similar for Japanese trains.

One thing I did find is the list for delay certificates of the Tokyo Metro. It's obviously not on time, all the time, "passenger arrengement staff"[2] nonwithstanding:

See, I think this comment is far more interesting than the article itself. I'm certain there is a method of finding high value-low effort startup ideas digging thru unconventional data like the link you provided.
I don't think so. All they would have to do is change their terms in conditions to prohibit round robin schemes and then send me a new cease and desist...
They're providing you a service by coding it up, hosting it, dealing with customer service requests and Southwest's lawyers, etc. Seems fair to charge $3 to provide the service of saving you money. Also seems fair to try outcompeting them by providing that service for free at your own expense.

I do want to point out that Git being built with MinGW doesn't do anything to affect its compatibility. MinGW is basically just the GCC compiler suite ported Windows. It doesn't do anything about making C code written for Linux compatible with Windows.

Now typically, when you install MinGW it also installs some tools that let you operate within Windows a little bit more like you're working under Linux, such as by installing a more sane terminal emulator and Windows-compatible ports of some popular programs e.g. grep. But all those tools and such are ports of Linux programs running on Windows, not standard Linux programs running atop a compatibility layer to allow them to work on Windows.

I mention the above because this was an unclear distinction to me originally. Additionally, this was based on my experience with MinGW some five years ago, and I don't know if everything I've described is still true. Hopefully this slight aside clarifies things for someone.

Effective early Windows development required a surprisingly thorough knowledge of DOS and x86 memory management/pointers that one had to get through books (unless one was poring through Intel chip specs). Even though Petzold's books were/are sold through Microsoft in my opinion is it's a stretch to call it documentation. For a long time, the best debugger was a third party tool - Soft-Ice. Their documentation/tools for XBox was pretty great, though, they had to do well there being new kid on the block. Microsoft had the benefit of 90% of PC market share at that time so we all had to learn it if we wanted a piece of that pie.

Appreciate the effort. My feedback is that it seems super random. On the one hand, you say that there is an abundance of ideas, on the other hand, you add more ideas, with the goal that more startups are started.

However, YC says that the idea doesn't really affect the outcome of a startup. It just is an indicator if the founders can have good ideas. In that case, giving out ideas and having people start companies based on that gives you zero information about if that startup is going to be successful.
> The information is available via their site, but that does not make it public.

Could one offer fair information if there's no reference to Southwest? Is having a website full of listings like "flightno: 123, flight_datetime: 2018-03-04-1045, price: 234.56, price_datetime: 2017-11-15-1130" something Southwest could successfully block?
I would rather see independent (private) solutions before inviting a bunch of bureaucratic red tape to manufacturers.

For example, someone could create a company that issued certificates of security. Manufacturers would pay a small fee to these companies to perform security tests and give them a certificate of security. They can put that label on their products to provide confidence to consumers. Some products may warrant a much higher level of scrutiny than others so there could be different levels or different companies that offer it.

I think people will naturally choose the products that are 'certified' over the ones that aren't, and manufacturers will have to end up doing it to stay competitive.
It's worth noting that we don't quite have the transit system that the original 2004 $4.7B FasTracks design envisioned for 2017. The schedule has considerably slipped, with some lines pushed out to the 2040's. The BRT to Boulder is probably an improvement over the former bus route, but isn't considered to be true BRT (except by RTD, the transit agency) due to sharing priority lanes with cars. The G line train has technically been finished for the past year, but crossing gate problems keep stalling its launch. (Either software problems, or intractable requirements from various parties, depending on who you ask.) I'm looking out my window right now at one of the many G-line crossings where the contractor staffs two people around the clock to make sure traffic stops. :/

I live in Longmont; one of the cities promised a light rail connection in 2004. So far RTD has collected more than $44 million in taxes and has pushed the completion date of our section of the rail to beyond 2040. This is why I am still driving my car. I don't care how the transit 'looks and feels' -- I just want it to exist.
Say you're a nice, white mother in the 1950s, and the subject of desegregation comes up. You have no problem with black people, but you don't think the disruption would be good for your daughter's educational experience, so you favor maintaining segregation. You can say, 'I'm not racist. I'm just thinking of my daughter,' but guess what? The Poc negatively impacted by your stance don't give two shits, and they shouldn't. It's racist.

Of course, we don't have to go back in time at all to see this sort of thinking, but, for the sake of the example, I thought it worked better.
Show HN: Running a full Bitcoin node on Raspberry Pi 3
Of course it's possible. No one said it wasn't. I said it will be gamed. Which it will. Sell the land under your 90-story building to an offshore trust in the Caymans for $1, now you have a firm data point that the land is worth exactly 1 dollar. What's the taxation authority going to do with that?

The point is to lower property taxes on the rich, raise them on the poor. LVT will have that effect, and that's the primary intent of most backers. In developed cities, the taxable property base will shift heavily from the city center toward the outskirts of the city.

Easy way to approach thinking about it: "large commercial buildings should be exempted from property tax, but as the city still needs funding, that lost revenue will be made up by raising everyone else's property taxes". It's a straight subsidy from the edges of the city to the center.

> With the arrival of autonomous drones, industrial drones, better sensors and better prediction we should be able do a better job saving our forests, cities and firefighters.

My wife is a forest engineer and a good friend of her works at detecting fire at the Sopfeu http://www.sopfeu.qc.ca/en.

Sopfeu moto:

> Optimize forest fire protection to ensure the sustainability of the forest environment for the good of the community, and to do so at the lowest possible cost.

Obviously, Quebec territory is massive, and most of it is forest land with no inhabitant. So protection goals are not the same as in let's say California.

But one thing my girlfriend always tells me (and her friend) is that forest fires are part of the natural cycle of all forest ecosystem (at least the Boreal one).

You cannot prevent/fight fires in a natural ecosystem, you can only control them to some extent.

To prevent fires, you need to actively manage a forest. Create natural barrier (cut trees), remove combustible (death wood), etc.

Without those heavy interventions, there will be fire at some point. So detection is only part of the solution.
I didn't downvote you, but calling him out on his language is significantly less interesting than the thing the parent said. If your quote was the only thing he said you'd be right. I think the quote added a lot of context and information his message though.

> born and raised in michigan, lived all over the state. I hope i die here.

That statement on its own communicates he likes Michigan, has no interest in moving.

> This nerd doesn't know shit

Adding this sentence modifies my interpretation of the first. This guy _loves_ Michigan. He feels strongly about his community and the contents of the article offend him. We can nitpick the insult on the end or the language he used, but I think what he had to say about Michigan was "putting himself out there" a little bit that makes it harder to do. It didn't feel like trolling to me, felt like a genuine dude with genuine things to say.
It sounds like we are seeing work become sport, with all the positives and negatives sport has. Maybe seeing it as ageism isn't helpful. Ageism doesn't exist in sport because the abilities you need can and do decline with age. I wonder for all the talk about "I'm just as good" if people really are; it's honestly ridiculous to assume a forty year old is as elastic or is possessed of the resiliency or endurance to keep reinventing their entire knowledge set every few years.
You're right that nearly anything could improve upon the status quo, but batteries are frankly a crappy technology and this seems to use batteries intensively for not a lot of benefit.

If you can make your peace with short range, why not use a hydrogen fuel cell? Sure, hydrogen often comes from natural gas but electricity often comes from coal/natural gas (in the U.S) and it seems like they make better catalysts for cracking hydrogen from water all the time - increased hydrogen gas demand could motivate people to commercialize the technology.

Hydrogen doesn't have an appreciably higher energy density but it's much less cobalt intensive.
A similar question was asked just 3 days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15685905

For full stack opinionated frameworks, there are a few like Laravel (PHP), Django (Python), Rails (Ruby), Phoenix (Elixir). They all come with batteries included for the most part. Then there is node/expressjs ecosystem if you are into that.

Then you have micro backend frameworks like lumen (PHP), Flask (Python), Sinatra (Ruby) which can be used to build APIs etc.

For front end javascript, you have react, vuejs and angular as the top 3. You also have elm (compiles to js) and then some other players like mithril etc. Good old jquery is still out there.

For more realtime stuff, you can use websockets (socket.io library etc), google firebase, pusher etc

to me anything else is downplaying the threat of those ideas.

Fair enough. My perspective comes from growing up in Indiana, probably one of the last places left that still had the occasional KKK rally. And frankly were it not for what they advocated, it was kind of pathetic. A dozen or so middle-aged rednecks pissed off about how it's not 1954 anymore, wearing Halloween costumes. The protesters would outnumber the participants. And there frequent calls to just quit protesting. Let them have their little get-together with an audience of...no one. I think that would be a lovely idea.

Keep an eye on them, that's for sure. If they commit a crime, investigate it, prosecute them. But otherwise quit giving them press, quit giving them labels that they like. Because calling them Nazis gives them credibility they don't deserve, IMO. They're surrounded by people that think they're assholes, so they only have the power we choose to give them. They can't pass any laws, they'll never get anywhere near a majority (underlying racism in the current political system is a long way from these nutters). Unlike the U. S. South of last century, the police generally aren't on their side. So keep a close watch, keep them contained, keep the amount of press proportional to the participation. If it's the "million Nazi march" on the Mall in D. C., then the NYT and WAPost should most certainly report. But if it's twelve sad, old guys in funny outfits, could we not make it tomorrow's headline?

My first point about mass was that some are tempted to imagine the mass of the BH as residing in the matter of the neutron star or whatever that formed it. This is misleading, it is better to think of that matter as no longer existing, and just deal with the fact that pure Schwarzschild looks identical to a lump of matter, from a distance.

How you measure the mass, well my orbit example is admittedly crude, ADM mass is I think the right asymptotic concept.

By purely gravitational object I mean this: everything we're discussing here about merging and waves and accretion disks all concerns only the exterior. This is all vacuum Einstein, pure gravity. (Whether we can say anything sensible about the interior is another whole different rabbit-hole.)
