At the cost of being downvoted, I like The Fountainhead for this. Trusting your own judgement, daring to create something beautiful even if nobody else appreciates it, even if everyone else hates you for it. Because it's beautiful and because your singular vision improves the world by existing in it. And because you become a better person for daring to realize the great work that is inside of you.

The love story in it is kind of weird, okay really weird, but besides that I like the book. Most of the over-the-top strawman librul bad guys, and attempts to morally justify Laissez-faire capitalism mostly came from Atlas Shrugged. The Fountainhead is more focused on an individual who wants to realize greatness for its own sake.
> The reason of blockchain is to remove intermediaries

Not correct. Blockchain has intermediaries. They are just semi-anonymous and unaccountable.

The paradox of this is that if you don't trust any particular intermediary (evil corp, gov, boogeyman, etc) then how do you know they are not the anonymous party running your anonymous unaccountable blockchain? You can't and so the whole thing is foolish to the core.
> And where are all of our tech things made?

Oh, overwhelming China. It perhaps would have been less confusing had I said "the software world".
Yes, we're planning to support Windows, Linux, plus an in-browser editor. Starting with Mac just helped us ship sooner.

We agree with you that for cross-platform dev, multi-OS authoring support is important. Windows support is expected mid-2018; I hesitate to put a date on Linux yet since we haven't deeply scoped it out, e.g. which distros we can easily support.
Although, now you can download Netflix (and Amazon) shows for later viewing. (I only do that for travel though. Even with a fairly modest Internet connection, I rarely have issues.)
> a mandate to increase density would be telling people to demolish and rebuild with higher density

There is no need for a mandate. Just allow people to build more on their land if they want, and most of them will surely want because people like money. No need to force anyone to do anything. All that is needed is to remove artificial regulations and let the market run its course.
The law/studio deals have to change. Netflix offers great movies and they lock it down to certain countries. For example I am big fan of Back To The Future. I can watch may favourite movie every month when I'm in UK but when I am in Poland then no luck. Same goes in other direction. While being in Poland I downloaded via Netflix National Lampoon Animal House to watch on plane. I watched half of it on plane then tried to watch rest in hotel and Netflix refused to play it because I was in UK. Funny thing is that when I switched to plane mode I could watch it. My question is what's the point? I as a person, am going in to agreement with Netflix that they will provide me movie. Nothing changes apart from my geographical location (I am paying the same amount of money, I am paying the same taxes, everything stays the same) and yet I can't watch the movie just because I am in different spot on the glob. I don't understand what is the profit for movie companies in narrowing down their own market.

We Gave Privacy Policies an AI Overhaul, and You’ll Never Have to Read Them Again
I instituted this policy back in the days where people would constantly invite you to play their stupid games, they had to invite you or they wouldn't be able to play. But anyone who invited me to Farmville or Mafia Wars or any nonsense got unfriended. If you wanted me back, you'd have to start to uncheck my name when you clicked "invite".

I also do a soft sort of "if I haven't talked to you in three months" rule to get rid of stale contacts. It's not LinkedIn, I don't need people for future reference. If I haven't talked to them in three months and they aren't someone incredibly important to me, they're gone.

I agree Facebook is awful and they're making it worse every day, but a lot of the problems people have with it are self-made. I don't get people posting awful political opinions because I don't follow anyone who does that. I don't get spammed with memes because I don't follow anyone who does that. I don't see most of the ads because I have an ad blocker. I don't see people I don't know because I unfriend them. I don't see businesses I don't care about because I don't follow businesses I don't care about.

The only problem I have with Facebook as a consumer of Facebook is not seeing things from people I want to see things from. But I rarely see things I don't want to see, because Facebook gives you all the tools you need to stop seeing that kind of stuff.
I don't see how English subtitles for an English movie can even be copyrighted... they're definitely not a work of art, not transformative, just a plain old transcript.
"focus on my product"? where do you draw the line around what is your product and what isn't? if you exclude everything around it, the actual nucleus of your product had better be pretty damn amazing to standout from all the other people with an idea.

This is not hidden work. These are decisions. In theory every part of an offering could be 3rd partied, but they will all want to be paid. at some point you have to write something yourself either so you don't have to pay someone or to do it better than what everyone else is using.

having said all of that, chargebee is pretty awesome.
qbittorrent is the best out there for windows imo. my only complaint is that it seems to have no dpi awareness whatsoever.

No it wasn't. Nothing changed about the number of affected consumers.
Be aware for 4K that almost no motherboards exist at this time that can pair one of these APUs with a HDMI 2.0 output. Almost all AM4 motherboards come with HDMI 1.4 outputs that limit 4K output to 30Hz - probably fine for movies, noticable in the UI, and not great for games (even if rendered at lower than native res). Though there are some current gen AM4 boards with HDMI 2.0 and native 4K60 output, it's somehow a premium feature that is bizarrely reserved for high end gaming motherboards.

The next generation of motherboard chipsets from AMD should remediate this, but motherboards with these will not launch before April.
Running it on my machine tells me:

No zombies found. Maybe all software is working correctly, but I doubt it. More

You are on the right track with that initial thought :-)
This is the shortest non-clever version I can come up with:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
int i;

for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
if ((i % 3) == 0) {
printf("Fizz");
}

if ((i % 5) == 0) {
printf("Buzz");
}

if ((i % 3) && (i % 5)) {
printf("%d", i);
}

puts("");
}

return 0;
}

At a previous job, I built a server-side debugging tool which would record the requests that you made. For each request, you could see the HTTP request, the HTTP response, and events like SQL statements and log messages. (Sort of like Sentry.) There was also a button that re-ran the same request under a profiler.

Sadly the tool was never merged into mainline, so the feature branch has probaly rotten away by now.

Why on Earth should they be held to that kind of standard? The vast majority of society will never be their customer.
This is a comparison b/w oranges and pigs. Hinduism is founded by priests to favor Brahmin's and nothing more. Instead of the slavery like in US which is binary(slave or not-slave) in hinduism the caste system is a multiple levels of slavery. Any caste must be a slave to another and if they obey(no choice) they will get another caste as their slaves. Finally at the root node is this Dailt people who are slave to every one in the hierarchy. In contrast Stoic is religion agonistic, in fact Stoicism does not care of religion. Seneca talks about how it does not matter if there is a god exists or not in his reference to free will and determinism in his letters.
In my experience, it definitely can't compete on price.

London to Paris by Eurostar are routinely advertised as "from £29", but are usually £300+ return for a weekend.

Whereas flights are often sub-£100.

Eurostar has no competition except the airlines. Businesses will fork out for the tickets as you can't beat the time savings on the Paris route.

It will be interesting when Deutsche Bahn start using the line.

> In this exclusive excerpt from her new book, Brotopia, which comes out today

They've been spoon-feeding these excerpts for some time, in order to hype the book. Since it's actually out now, it would be better to just have post for a review of it, rather than for each artifact of its PR campaign.

At the very least the title should be updated to indicate it's from "Brotopia."
I think he's saying a customer will ask "is Instacart cheaper than Walmart" and the answer is "no", so there isn't a place for Instacart to fit, assuming Amazon owns the high-end side with Whole Foods (although I wouldn't assume Amazon would settle for just that).

Walmart already has grocery warehouses with their stores, so bolting on pickup/delivery to those makes sense. I don't know how much pickup/delivery could potentially negate the need for the store, but I'd assume the pickup/delivery load of a store has huge room for growth before you start questioning why the store needs to be open to the public.

I haven't used their grocery delivery service but their pickup service is well-executed and convenient, in my experience, so I'm assuming they can figure out how to be competent in delivery as well.
>I can't understand why and how kids and young people like it so much.

That. That right there is why they like it so much. Because you're not on it. Their parents and grandparents are on Facebook, but those parents and grandparents can't figure out how to use Snapchat or don't see why kids like it, and that is exactly why kids like it.

It's the "adults can't see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch" or "Trix is for kids" of their generation.
Reminds me of the story that when the last book of the series was released in English, a German fan group sat down an translated a portion each. They finished the task in something like 48 hours. And they did it because supposedly the official German translation could only be started after the English release for fear of leaks.
I know these businesses are very regional. Where we are Instacart has some insane prices and Shipt is absolutely kicking their butts on service. I'm having trouble understanding the $4.2B valuation given their execution.
They have very nearly exhausted the pool of strong technical talent that can be recruited locally within the seattle area, who are not already gainfully employed at some other tech company. Also because building new office campus space in Seattle is becoming a bottleneck. Amazon is spread out through a bunch of temporarily leased buildings until the new towers are finished. Also they have sort of exhausted the number of people who are willing to relocate to Seattle.
Parts of it are, yeah. The hero animation and each of the animated explainers are built in Haiku. So are each of the examples in the Gallery.

Haiku is meant to be "component-first," so you can add it to existing codebases without committing your entire tech stack. Our React+Gatsby website is an example of that.

We're almost ready to ship support for multi-component composition inside Haiku, which will enable features like reusable form controls, layouts, and more (see https://www.haiku.ai/features/ for more 'coming-soons') — in the meantime, think of Haiku as a discrete-component & animation builder.
Last minute tickets are always expensive.
Bad credit affects utility costs. Most impoverished people have bad credit. Again, being poor costs more in almost all areas of life in America. Contrary to popular belief, utilities are not a right. Utility companies have the right to refuse you if you have enough delinquent payments, can't front the deposit (if you have bad credit) or even outright refuse you (if you have terrible credit). Even on the FTC's website, their advice if you have trouble paying your utilities is basically to "budget harder"
It's bizarre because it's the only form of fiction where some people are convinced the fans don't know it's fiction.

Equivalently, it's the only form of fiction which some people think isn't "real". Try this on for size: "You know movies aren't real, right?" Can you seriously imagine anyone saying that? It would be utterly absurd. Yet in discussions of wrestling, it's par for the course.

Not sure I understand why, if you want to own your music, you don't just ignore the premium streaming services and continue to buy what you want. I admittedly have a big library and am generally less interested in a lot of newer music but I currently just have the "free" streaming Amazon Prime service and just buy anything in particular I want.

That is just not true, the suit was about LIDAR.

It's also vastly different. Of course someone working at at google on a project has access to that project. It doesn't mean they have access to your stuff.
I have the same experience with Instagram. It used to show me interesting stuff, now it shows me interesting stuff from a few days ago. And a few days from right now, it will show me the interesting stuff that was posted right now. No amount of checking Instagram seems to make the delay go away. Every time I log in, the top of my feed is from 2 days ago. And I scroll for miles and still seeing days-old content that I didn't see days ago.
Who's your most dangerous competitor and what's your uvp?
right now, whole foods is something like 1 or 2% of the grocery market in the US. we plan to be the partner to the rest of the nation -- my initial question was how on earth you can just assume amazon (by default) owns the rest of the high end market, and, why you think "bolting on delivery" is easy/trivial.
I think this is so great! I feel like we’ve lost many “sub-cultures” like the Punks etc. Today, everybody seems to become a hipster with a beard and a lumberjack shirt. So I’m really grateful, that these kind of communities still exist outside of the uniform world we live in.

Also: I don’t think “bizzare” is a good word to describe the community. “Special” would have been much better.
This is the main reason I choose SQLite for simple stuff and experiments. Just being a file also makes it really easy to come back to a half finished project or pick up from another machine with a simple rsync.
Am living in a Spanish speaking Latin American country, the netflix options here are 1/10 of the options in the US (spanish language programs).

Plus the connection is not very good for streaming, so torretning is the route to go. We tried cable, but the number of adverts and the length was insane (I'm originally from the UK, I seem to recall being annoyed at the sheer quantity of ads when have visited the US as well)
Soft-deletes are highly expensive technical debt until properly wrapped with an API. Until that happens, every developer/consumer needs to remember to check for archived=false.

One solution I’ve sometimes used is to move deleted records into a separate NoSQL database at delete-time. Keeps data around if you want to implement “see trashed/archived” later, can be migrated back in under an archived flag once you have that API, but in the meantime everyone else (including, crucially, the analytics team) can pretend that everything in the database is live. A kludge, to be sure, but sometimes a necessary one.
Time and time again I see the complaint that people want a 'Most Recent' news feed instead of algorithm-chosen and that's why they don't use Facebook anymore.

This type of feed would be unusable for the vast majority of users.

Why? Because of Page Likes.

I struggled to find quantitative data on this, but I myself like over 600 pages, and I'm selective. Many people like over 1000.

With a Most Recent news feed, those hundreds of pages would be posting multiple times a day vying for your attention.

100% reach, organic and zero cost? It's a marketers dream come true.

Add to that, I really only want to see posts from maybe 20% of my 'friends', and I believe this to be representative of the average user.

"Curate your friends list and page likes!", I hear you say.

No. I'm not bothered unliking hundreds of pages and neither is the average user. Not to mention, I did chose to hear from these pages for a reason. For friends, it's mostly socially unacceptable to unfriend people even if you haven't talked to them for a few years.

Hence, the algorithm that does the curating for me, because there's really no other way around it.

ps. I'm taking some liberties here speaking for an average user. I welcome data that shows I'm incorrect. The best I could find was from 2013 so is irrelevant.
This is probably reasonable. Economy, emissions, safety, and vehicle cost have trade-offs with each other. We're probably already beyond the point where it can be justified from a cost-benefit analysis.

A business mentor of mine once gave me this wisdom:

The best selling diet books don't contain the best diet advice.

The best selling dating books don't contain the best dating advice.

The best selling business books don't contain the best business advice.

I think this is logical, to some extent, i.e.:

Advice books are optimised for excitement and the illusion of inspiration. Because results take a long time to demonstrate, massive aggregate data, and the elimination of countless other factors, nobody can possibly work out whether the advice in a book is any good before they buy it. Instead they look to reviews, which are based on enjoyment and inspiration. Someone will read it, and coincidentally find success, and you have your testimonial. Someone will read it, and fail, and nobody will know. So to make your book sell, the quality of the advice is mostly irrelevant, it is the engagement that makes the sale.

Exciting truisms and unfalsifiable chattiness sell advice books, not good advice.

Reading advice books 'just in case' you come across good advice, is like reading a string of random numbers 'just in case' you come across the lottery results.

Personally I'm a bit less sceptical, but only a very small bit.
small anecdote: when spotify vecame available in my region (Lithuania), I instantly became paid subscriber because it was really convenient. And my colleagues did the same - it’s just simpler to use Spotify with its was library instead of wasting time in torrent sites looking for some new music. Same applies for me with netflix.
It is lawyers all the way down, sadly. And old old old contracts...
+1 on the soft deletes. It potentially adds a corner case to everything you do with that record. It's a permanent tax on your productivity.

If you can get away with it, its much better to just delete it out, perhaps moving it into some archive table incase you change your mind later.
> California has a great amount of leverage in emissions standards

California can set their own standards but that is not really "leverage."

Every manufacturer already has all of the tech to meet the higher CAFE standards because they all sell in Europe which has even higher standards for a long time.

Manufacturers like big heavy fast gas guzzlers because they sell the best and make the most profit. They don't like fuel standards because they reduce profits, but if some jurisdiction puts in place fuel standards they have no problem building cars that meet them.

Increasing fuel standards are horrible for sales though because from a consumer perspective the new cars are worse than the old ones. Not exactly a great sales pitch.
The ruling and article only mention Facebook but I don't see how everything in it doesn't apply to every single app/website that does targeted advertising.
Ask HN: Google Play allows to call female founders “useless woman”
Hi everyone! Last week I’ve got the personal hater, who wrote me couple messages via social network from the fake account and started to blame me. I tried to answer politely, but he(she) can’t calm and promised to write about me bad reviews everywhere. Next step was 1-star review on Google Play. OK, maybe he(she) doesn’t like my app, but review started with the statement, that I’m “useless woman”. Other review statements were about our conversation in another social network but not in my app. I connected Play Market support via Developer Console, but they refused to delete it. Is that normal nowadays to allow personal humiliation of dignity in reviews of the app? What else can I do to protect myself?
They should be shut down permanently. Full stop.

Furthermore, the very existence of these credit agencies should be sincerely alarming to most normal people, and probably already is. These databases should not exist.
