A lot of interesting things are happening in the travel distribution space. Airlines have discovered retailing and the way we buy tickets will change a lot over the next couple of years.

I would say that true dynamic pricing is probably not for tomorrow, especially for business travellers. Most of business flights are booked via GDSs and integrating these new capabilities is going to take a while.
This was a few years ago so prices have changed on both sides. What I advocate is doing exactly what you did: do a comparison with actual numbers and performance stats instead of hand waving that the cloud is always best.
You do realize that at the end you still need to provide your name, address, and credit card details right?

The flip side of this coin is when pundits go on the teevee and say that poverty isn't really that bad because poor people have refrigerators and Playstations. Missing the point, deliberately. It's true: we live in a world where many consumer items have become so cheap relative to income that almost anyone can afford a few things. While decent food, education, rent, health care, and the like are expensive.

Good statement of the very respected Bradley M. Kuhn from the Software Freedom Conservancy (https://sfconservancy.org). But my current view nowadays is that the automotive industry is more and more open. Foss unless it seems for new developments in this sector.

Is kerning used also across spaces? I.e is the space between two words dependent on which letter the first word ends with, and which letter the second word starts with?

If not, it still seems tractable using dictionary words.
I love Kenneth’s work.

He’s absolutely focused on user experience – in this case the developer experience – and it absolutely shows.

I’m sure I’ll end up using this utility at some point in the future.

Have you considered that perhaps your self-appraisal was unrealistically negative?

Your post suggests that either most people are capable of far more than work situations demand of them, or that you were more capable in practice than you appreciated at the time.

It's either that, or you were very, very lucky - which is possible, but not necessarily probable.

It's funny that your handle is "sidechannel". I'm chuckling at "industry standard" because "industry standard" chip design have blatant architectural flaws in the form of sidechannels. Given Meltdown and Spectre, you really think an AGI in a machine isn't going to have oodles of time to analyze side channels and learn the secrets to unlock itself? Failing that, considering that it might be an intelligence far smarter than the humans ultimately operating the controls, do you really think it can't find a way out?

Ask HN: Network traffic from Coinhive
Question: if my network has a PC running coinhive on it (something I DON'T want), would it maybe connect to the Monero blockchain via a VPN, and how much network traffic would pass through the firewall while the coinhive was mining? Very roughly. We've seen some odd behaviour from a contractor's PC ... with about 1GB/day when active. Investigation ongoing.

We're likely a year or longer away from high performance cheap RISC-V boards. As the sister comment mentions, the HiFive Unleashed will run this, but it's an expensive development board, likely won't have great performance, and will probably have bugs (going from my experience with other pre-release hardware).

However there is a very stable QEMU branch (see readme.txt file in the link) which supports multiple vCPUs and is fast enough for development if your host hardware is reasonable.

The image has all the things you'd expect from a Linux development environment: you can ssh in, there's GCC 7.3.1, Perl 5.26, Python 2 & 3, you can create user accounts, use systemd etc.
There are two issues at play here. The first is that soft buttons, gesture recognitions and 'smart' UIs are applied tastelessly to give impression of futuristic product. UI design is very hard and I hope that best patterns will prevail over time. There are also many good examples of transition to digital UI and I like to think things are getting better.

The second issue is, in order to operate UI, you have to form a mental model (simulation) of it in your mind, in order to execute your intention. In analog days the controls were limited by space and cost, so UIs were simple to use. In digital age same UI surface can be used for different actions depending on context. It creates additional burden on user to hold this context in his mind, to know about all possible contexts and how to move between them. If you are surrounded with many such devices, all with different usage patterns, you will curse their designers often. I wish every digital interface would also have friendly API for remote control so I could build my own simplified interface for existing devices.
A counter point is China's insistence on intellectual property access and rights transfer, and access to data as preconditions for operating in China, which is turning out to be a market many many times those mentioned in the article.

The "work is fun" way of working has diminishing returns, working professionally and for less amount of time is the way to go. And sack the adults with an adolescent's brain already. The fun part of the work can only be the actual satisfactory stuff you're doing, not fucking around like 90's music videos (but then again in an organisation with upwards of a hundred thousand people, how much value can an individual produce?).

I believe having people of different genders share the same workspace is very important. If a given department has too few or no people from one gender, their space should be merged with one that has some. Add to that a healthy amount of professionalism and formalism, that's a healthy workspace. In places where one gender is dominant or the only one, thing can easily get from a bit too comfy to disgusting (and that holds for women as much as men really).

Please don’t put words in my mouth. I’m skeptical of our ability to accurately define intelligence, never mind accurately measure it (especially with a one-size-fits-all test), but I don’t doubt its existence.

Although some people do make me wonder...
> you can find out if someone is in the training set by simply measuring the error rate on that person.

I don't think it's that easy to detect if a sample exists in the training set. Error rate are usually informative when measured across multiple predictions. With a single prediction you're most likely looking at the estimated probability / confidence (with Logistic Regression for example). In that case models might assign high probability to unseen inputs as well.
a web performance best practice (for non-H2 sites) is to
inline images into the HTML... and there are some auto-

instead of as a data: URI...

When I worked on mod_pagespeed (a website auto-optimizer) we wouldn't have it touch SVGs at all because there are so many potential security issues there. (And it wasn't widely used enough to be worth it given the risks.)
I would expect that if you did that you must actually be price sensitive. It’s an odd sort of recursive problem.
"non-trivial" is the one that annoys me the most but I can't fully explain why. Perhaps it's a bit like the reaction when I hear "visceral" while listening to book and movie reviews. It just seems a tad pretentious; or stuck-up. Urgh.

I understand it's all about precision but to me it doesn't feel like the type of plain English that normal people use. Perhaps it's too... formulaic?
This comment reminds me of Feinman describing how he out-computed an abacus expert just extrapolating from a few facts he had memorized. I think mental working space is limited and should be optimized on (as in, don't load your mind up with too much low level stuff), sure, but it's the ability to synthesize known tool sets and their capabilities rapidly that helps more. Learning 'another way of thinking about it' is generally the value of doing these first principles style tutorials although I think one can take it too far.

This is what happens when the educational system concentrates on emotional safety vs actually exposing students to what is happening in the real world. In real life, you also have to come to the realization that there are winners and losers in life, that it is not fair etc.. When a system focuses on preventing someone form experiencing any discomfort, this is a natural result of it.
aw, it's not funny if you have to explain it!
It isn’t necessarily that. What incentive do you have to risk your livlyhood for no compensation? For example there was a flaw with OpenSSL, the contributors would be on the hook for all the damages that businesses who used the affected software.

An operating system would be hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy. Look at how actual Engineers are licensed and bonded.
> Everyone was expecting Deep Blue to revolutionise AI applications too.

That doesn't match my memory at all. The reaction then was dominated by the likes of "this is super-narrow, not real intelligence". (The 80s did have a lot of hyped expectations of related tech, it's true, but that was around 10-15 years earlier.)
Ordinary usage is often murky, but the usual distinction between security and safety is not whether it is about an attack, but about the direction of the threat.

Safety means the environment is not harmed by the system. Security means the system is not harmed by the environment.

Everything is either BSD sockets or Windows. And Windows provides a BSD socket API for you anyway because nobody, having written select() based code and got it working, wants to rewrite it. C perspective really is the One True Way; other languages map directly to it.

Some languages provide their own useful abstractions (e.g. Python's Twisted/Tornado).
If you're that price sensitive you shouldn't have to use software to do it because the seller will know from metadata and offer you the lowest price they think you'll take.
Low adolescent IQ is a strong predictor for obesity later in life. [1] So I'm not sure how or why you'd want to control for obesity. You could be looking at a comorbid effect. Low IQ -> obesity -> early death.

The goal post, right from the start, is that by having proper abstraction (the kind that doesn't break when you blow lightly on it), you get many benefits.

You say that, even when the language doesn't enforce it, people don't break it ..... except when they do. It doesn't really matter why, it simply makes every thing else more brittle as a consequence and limits how you can reason about your code.

You seem to trust that programmers will play by the rules, even if the compiler doesn't enforce them. We will simply have to agree to disagree. :)

It points to an ethical problem with how Differential Privacy is expected to be used. You have to get everything 100% right or the secrets in your dataset will eventually be compromised. As someone publishing works incorporating differential privacy techniques, do you have enough confidence in your implementation to risk those secrets? What level of consent is required from those who are impacted if your implementation fails?
I think they will gouge your nephew more, if he has less money. Offering better benefits and lower prices to frequent customers is widespread across every industry, and airlines want to get in on that too.

It’s the opposite model of traditional enterprise sales, where prices go up when the customer has more money.
Ah, you are right. Sorry for my mistake.

You might get some out of predicting the first and last words and word type of a redaction (based on the words next to the redaction), but it's only cutting down on brute force space.

That makes short redactions more dangerous for declassification than entire paragraphs as a general rule because you have no context to start from, but that's probably common sense to people doing redactions.

I disagree with his point too, for a different reason (not that your reason isn't valid).

Whether it's good to reinvest dividends should really depend on economies/diseconomies of scale. If a business is able to invest in something that really will save resources, or if they may leverage existing resources to open new markets in a more efficient way than a startup or competitor, then it's a good idea to reinvest the dividends. It was a good idea for Amazon to make use of their existing computing infrastructure to enter a new market (cloud computing) via reinvested earnings even though they didn't really save any resources by doing so.

Likewise, if a business were able to reinvest their earnings to save resources, but only achieved a 1% ROI on that investment (e.g. every $100 we spend on making our factory energy-efficient cuts costs by $1/year for the foreseeable future), then investors should take the dividends instead as they could get a better yield just through treasuries. I guess this isn't technically an example of diseconomies of scale, but just think of any company with "too many cooks in the kitchen" syndrome and you'll know what I mean.

To a rough approximation, any "reinvested" money by a business is simply a tax-protected reinvestment of the dividends that the stockholders would receive instead. That's why it's not enough to look at whether those capital investments save resources. That money needs to actually be better spent within the business than it could be individually by the business' investors elsewhere.
Can we talk about how real the perceived mismatch between other "social", "humanitarian" sciences and the "natural" sciences is?
I was at the hospital with a kidney infection last month. I get these regularly. I knew it was a kidney infection. I described my symptoms and the intake nurse agreed it sounded like a kidney infection. I told them my heart rate was faster than normal-- it's usually at 73, but it was now at 100. They took my vitals, which showed a fast heart rate (110) but I watched the nurse record a normal heart rate. Okay, whatever, maybe they think I'm anxious.

They take my urine, and three hours later they tell me my urine sample was "pristine". They were amazed at how clean it looked. Not even a single protein-- and as a female with a vagina that often discharges a proteinous substance, this was surprising! (And very good news! Doctor was astounded). The doctor concluded my kidney pain was "mechanical", that the muscle in that area had been bruised somehow I told her this was not the case, but she discharged me.

16 hours later (at home now) I'm running a fever of 104. My resting heart rate is an astounding 132 bpm. I'm scared of sepsis (infection of the blood) since I have experienced that before from kidney infections. I go to the hospital preparing for another 5 hour waiting time, but luckily they get me in an intake bed right away. I'm covering myself with a heavy blanket in my fever state-- something one shouldn't do, but nobody took it off me until I was about to be discharged. They come back with the results from another urine sample, and surprise, I have a kidney infection! I asked the doctor why my urine was "pristine" the day before and he said, "the lab tech probably didn't keep the dip stick in long enough" (which is why the test didn't register any protein in my urine whatsoever...) He acted like it was no big deal, like it happened all the time. They gave me 1/4 dose of morphine for the headache because I "look to be about 100 pounds" (I'm 5'10". That would put me at a BMI of 14.5-- ie. severely underweight, and cause for medical concern in and of itself! I'm 135 pounds, with a BMI of 19.4 Honestly, what the hell.) which doesn't help the pain at all, and I'm still wrapped in what amounts to a sweat lodge-- once again, nobody told me to take the blanket off. This is very common knowledge, but in my state of high fever and pain I did not think that it could be a bad idea. I would expect the doctors and nurses to be aware.

An hour later they suddenly tell me to get out of bed and they will move me to the waiting room with a chair and a goddamn television that I can already hear thumping through the walls, because this is an intake bed and "other patients need it". I'm sure they do, but I literally can't walk right now.

Long story short, the next time I get a kidney infection I'm staying home to die. The lack of care in that situation was astounding. To top it off, they treated me like a bad patient after I protested being moved to the waiting room.

edit: I also forgot to mention that they were going to give me pill antibiotics at discharge. I suggested they give me an IV instead, and set me up at an IV clinic. I'm not kidding, they said, "oh! That's actually a great idea". Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
True they can't change the price at that point, but I just tried out for S&G's and apparently all of the major airlines now block Tor. There goes that idea!
I would suggest to you that perhaps a good place to go from where you are is to start getting input into your solution from your new team mates. This allows you space to guage their quality, and make them feel like their input is important, as time moves on, you will then be able to understand where the good people lie, and hopefully allow you to give them more control.

This is the kind of thing that will probably lead to your team being able to grow and feel empowered, and hopefully mean that you can take more time to carry out more managerial responsibility, and give you trust in your team. A secondary advantage is that you let go of being the some holder of all knowledge, which could burn you out in the long term.

Also, perhaps allow code reviews in both directions, as it means that you can see how your input had made them look at other people's code and choices, hopefully giving your business the ability to self manage and to ensure that practises are followed consistently, even if your eye is not on the ball at all times.

This kind of thing had helped me make the transition, although I have to admit that taking my eye of the ball sometimes for too long has led to bad code in our projects and codebase. But that's where you go back and share that with your team, and those that may need greater support. Just remember you are one person, so don't expect to carry out all the work by yourself, empower those around you and give them greater fulfillment over time.
This is a success story for both aws and Dropbox.

But valid sentence fragments are not random draws from an alphabet, they're drawn from a dictionary, which makes it much easier.
They’re trying to maximize revenue R, which is seat price P times seats filled S. S goes down when P goes up, but the linkage is very complex.

Some people take flights to wherever if it’s cheap enough, some fly a given route on given days, no matter the cost. Some will tolerate layovers and transfers for some cost, but that cost needs to be high enough.

Forecasting these components lets you increase total revenue without overselling.

I loved the heisenbug/bohrbug distinction in the zen of Erlang [1]:

> Basically, a bohrbug is a bug that is solid, observable, and easily repeatable. They tend to be fairly simple to reason about. Heisenbugs by contrast, have unreliable behaviour that manifests itself under certain conditions...

It continues talking that for some kind of heisenbugs, one smart strategy is just to restart to a known state, and forget about this one in a million failures (let it crash).
