How to solve a hard Uber interview question
>>> Take your total retirement savings and multiply it by 3%. For example, if you have $1.25m (retirement savings), multiplied by 0.03% (inflation), you get $45,000 in inflation. Then you subtract that number from your total savings: $1.25m - $45k = $880k. This will give you a baseline to understand your financial situation.

I don't fully understand... 1.25M - 45k is most definitely not 880k. Did you do something else that you forgot to list?
Did you write the site? Which language did you use to program it?

> it's still in the middle of the pack when measured by track per person or track per area

Both of those seem like somewhat irrelevant metrics. Why should a more densely populated country be penalized for having larger clusters of people compared to (based on this data) Canada or Russia? On the other end, why should a country with large swaths of unpopulated land cover it with rail to improve its track per area metric, which densely populated countries seem to do well on?

It may be more useful to consider the efficiency and cost of freight rail, as well as the share of freight transit (per unit of distance, for instance) that is on rail.
Here's a calculator I built to visualize retirement income from recurring purchases of deferred income annuities:

https://www.blueprintincome.com/plans/43301d6bf3c335bb07f6
>>> "What do Aggressive and Conservative mean? The Investment Calculator uses two investment strategies that typically produce two different retirement scenarios. Aggressive investing indicates a higher financial risk with a higher potential reward, while conservative investing offers a lower financial risk with a more moderate potential reward.
Aggressive investing typically means that you will invest in more stocks than in bonds. This type of investment strategy is smart when you have a longer amount of time before your retirement. A longer amount of time can also, in theory, withstand all the volatility of the stock market. The other good news is that more time passing will compound your interest, resulting in significantly larger retirement savings.
Conservative investing is a more balanced strategy in which you invest in stocks as well as bonds. The return, or the amount that your money grows, is not as large as it can be when aggressively investing but the risk is lower. Conservative investing is best when your retirement date is nearby. Vanguard published a great article about these types of scenarios, showing the historic risks and rewards in quantitative form. These table graphs will show the different strategies in terms of being “growth” or “balanced” oriented and displays the assumptions behind each retirement strategy."
Because they give that information to 3rd parties who have a larger database about you in which to add it. Privacy is a basic human right and everyone wants it. You wouldn't willingly offer all data about yourself and livestream a camera of yourself 24/7 for everyone to see. I also already gave you a reason on how this harms people who don't want to give up any data on themselves.
Doubts We Should Clarify Before Approaching App Development Firms
I've heard that the quality of google play music is generally lower than apple/spotify (apple/spotify are matched, apple may be slightly higher). As for youtube, on mobile there are third-party apps that give all of the youtube red features for free (except exclusives).

Apple music requires a dedicated app for desktop playback (although spotify does too, if you want to play music offline) and doesn't work on linux (it may or may not work through wine).

why not just a long long page (300 does not really need paging) ?
After Python and Bazel, I fully expect a programming framework named 'Wanda' to crop up somewhere. Cleese would be so confused.
I've done it myself, I generally avoid it by using `shutdown -r` instead which will by default delay reboot for 1 minute (at least it does on CentOS/RHEL 7). It's annoying to wait the extra time, but having a period to backout with a `shutdown -c` in case I made a mistake has saved me more than it hasn't.

On the flip side, at least when you make this mistake with a VM you're typically not down for long assuming you have fast-ish storage - on average any of the VM's I'm responsible for are back up in 60-90 seconds, physical machines can take 5 minutes or more (memory testing, expansion ROM's, etc. all make post take FOREVER even on modern hardware).
I still have the habit to type "-r 0" ctrl+a "shutdown".
Ask HN: Is there a payment gateway API for channeling money to non-profits
For legal reasons I cannot accept money for work I do. Instead I would like my customers to pay, say the EFF the equivalent amount in donation - in lieu of purchasing my product.

Is there a service API that lets me hook up the payment API to the non-profits account, at the same time being able to verify the conclusion of the payment.

This way we can 'charge' customers and validate my product without having to fight red-tape or do shady stuff. The idea is to switch over to a personal account at a later point.
While it is fashionable to doubt that Social Security will be around for the Gen X or Millenial retirements, the reality is that it's simply a matter of political will.

If people like Social Security (and they generally do), then all they have to do is vote for politicians who will protect it, and harass politicians when it looks like they won't.

Of course it's fine to plan for a retirement without Social Security... having too much money in retirement is not generally considered a problem.

But if you're feeling despair over Social Security, know that there is something you can do about it: political organizing.

Yeah that surprised me as well. A number of different types of monkies in a zoo I visited were previously used as pets and given to the zoo after being rescued or owner wasn't able to take care of them anymore.

Evidently taking care of them is a little more difficult because they don't have any medical history when they come in, so the keepers are kind of flying blind at first while learning the animals medical needs.

> might have started a competing company

Point well taken, but in the case of MoviePass I'm not sure this is a bad thing?

I can see how it's a long-term harm if a value-adding startup is shut out by a competitor which relies on burning investor money. But I really can't work out what value-added startup MoviePass could be displacing; effectively the only benefit for consumers is the artificially low pricing. It seems like "VC money pit" is the entire story for this one.
I'm curious too -- I didn't notice it until I started trying out different scenarios. Is that an optimum number? Is that when your retirement income per month matches your current income?

This is an old-style directly connected power switch. If you release and re-press it quickly enough the power won't go out as there's still enough residual energy in the PSU capacitors. I used to do this all the time on my 486 as a sort of absent-minded tick.

I don't blame the guy for not trying that with a production SAP server though...

Recently switched to Lubuntu 17.10. I wanted something less bloated, that can last and provide with more control, since Unity was abandoned and Gnome is too amateurish and incompetent.

It took some time to make it work and to make it usable, but that was my expectation anyway. Had to replace intel ddx with modesetting, try a bunch of kernel gpu driver options, options for grub to disable freezing cstates, install compton to fix vsync/tearing issues, etc. So far like it better than Unity.

> Sometimes this is not a problem. When x is small, sin(x) can be computed by simply returning x. This rule is valid until x^3/6 > precision ~= 1e-38, or x = 4e-16. So exact precision is obtainable by simply returning x if x < 1e-16.

"This rule" seems a lot like the "skinny triangle" rule. I recently ran across it on Wikipedia after going through astrophysics articles. Specifically, to my understanding, the parsec could be calculated without using a trig function thanks to the skinny triangle rule. (To a certain level of error, of course. And, the parsec is now a defined value so the original trig-derived definition is invalid.)

I think `$1.25m - $45k = $880k` should be `$1.25m - $45k = $1.205m`. $45k is $45,000 and not $450,000.
Globally, the main thing is that married families have transitioned from small farm cooperatives (where the husband works the fields and the wife in the house) to market-based work for both of them. The problem with market based work is that it's usually incompatible with keeping one eye on small children, unlike the household chores of a farm. Also, kids are pure burdens until they can join the market themselves, whereas farm kids could help collect eggs and feed chickens starting pretty young.

In America at least the cost disease of education, housing, and healthcare all make it worse, but the first part is the primary culprit. And I'm not sure there's any fix for it besides long parental leaves and subsidized childcare.
I'm not the OP that you were asking, but I do want to chime in.

My wife and I make a pretty good team. Even the most tense arguments eventually get resolved with a laugh.

We have three boys, we're probably going to have a fourth. We feel we have a lot of love to give. And giving someone life is the ultimate pay-it-forward act of gratitude. My parents did it for me. If I can give a few children life and send them out into the world with a good grounding, my life is a win.
It should be possible to click on or hover over "aggressive" and "conservative" and see what the assumptions are. And the simulations must be account for volatility to be useful. Otherwise, everyone should just invest aggressively and put all their money in stocks, since they have higher average returns than bonds.

Brazil is much, much worse off than the US. There the corruption goes all the way to the lowest levels of government. In the US local politicians don't pay a couple of bucks to a thousand dirt poor voters to vote in the county elections so they can win. In Brazil this happens everywhere.

The legal requirements to restraining an individual to prevent some future violence with a known specific potential victim (eg. restraining order, arrest) are lower than the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard.

The rights of a child to be abused and the rights of a parent to not have their child be taken away are both very important. It’s my subjective impression that the “child abused” case is much more common than the “child taken away where no abuse occurred” case. I see no reason that our laws should be biased in favor of letting that case occur.
Nanogallery2 2.1.0 released – new API methods
i was a college kid at my first "computer job" doing desktop support for a client in downtown Fort Worth in a fairly nice office suite. Remember those old AT power switches? I wired one backwards, turned it on, and it blew all the insulation off the wires in the case and caught on fire. All in a very nice office, fortunately no sprinkles or fire alarm but I was very embarrassed and nearly cost my boss the client.

EDIT: I once got a call from junior developer who had issued an sql statement on an auto-commit database like "update <table> set x=y; where <some condition>; she fat fingered the semicolon and blew up the whole table. She was crying, I felt pretty bad we were able to get the table restored and back online in a few hours. She still tells me how sorry she was to this day ( about 15 years later ).
Best to figure this stuff out sooner rather than later, your future self will thank you. Don't bury your head in the sand on retirement. I ignored retirement planning until I was in my mid 30s, I wish I thought about it more before then.

Normally I'm down with that, but I think there are some ground-state base cases where you have for perfectly sound reasons penetrated all the security and safety affordances and simply must be careful. "Make sure you've got the right power button before pushing it" is probably one of them. There's not much you can do about that. Maybe not zero, but not much, in a context like this where many servers are being updated, because, again, whatever protections you may have had in place have already been bypassed.

Similarly, when push comes to shove you'll never be able to eliminate the needs for somebody to jump to root on some server, at which point, well, be careful is all you've really got. Hopefully you've built some good habits into your fingers.

Does your wife’s work actually offset the cost of childcare? I ask because you say your income is much higher than hers but you cannot afford a three bedroom apartment. This seems to imply that her income is quite low.

I know a number of families who ran the numbers and found out that the second income didn’t offset the cost of childcare. Or if it did, the excess income was so low as to be negligible. Don’t forget that there are tax implications to having a second income.

The answer to 'who needs an app for that' is not so much the diner but the restaurant. Sure, you can call, but the restaurant doesn't really want to take that call. They want to deal with the people who are in the restaurant. For these services, the restaurants are the customer, not you.

For myself, one of the features I like is being able to search by area or type of food; you can check availability at a bunch of places at once.

Generally, the idea of stifling innovation to "preserve jobs" is harmful to society. Upon choosing a career, you should consider the longevity of that career. Some people will still pick wrong for a multitude of reasons. Hopefully, those people can pivot. It is unreasonable to hold the entire population back to continue employing those in a specific field. If we consistently did that, we'd be in the stone age and our quality of life would be far poorer. This will help future generations drastically even if it hurts us a bit.
Yeah, it's also using a 9% rate of return for the "conservative" scenario and 12% for aggressive. Due to the exponential nature of compound interest, just a single point of overoptimism in your real growth number leads to a massive overestimation of your results. 1.07 ^ 30 = 7.6, 1.09 ^ 30 = 13.3, and 1.12 ^ 30 = 30.0

It's baseline assumptions are way off.
This list always strikes me as a remarkable assembly of the cultural norms important to the "ycombinator" demographic.

To me it reads as an eclectic mix of academic, governmental, business and technology opinions in the guise of startup ideas. Not that there's anything wrong with that... ycombinator is free to invest in the areas it cares about.
But it is very isolated from my own cultural experience of what matters and makes a real difference in the world.
The lowest junior engineer job grade at my previous company started at 50k + 8% bonus, and salaries went up to 90k base + 15% bonus for a principal engineer, with a pretty linear progression for the titles in between (mid-level, senior, lead). This company pays above average, but it's not the best paying in town, not even close. There are few ones (Amazon, eBay, SAP, car makers... even a few startups with deep pockets) that pay more than that.

If single, you will have a blast in Berlin with 45k. If you're moving with a dependent, that's a bit tight (as a newcomer, you will never find the best deals regarding accommodation, there's a fair supply of newly built apartments in Berlin, but they aren't cheap).

Biggest take away here is that working hard pays off. Not a huge surprise, but it does seem like our industry has forgotten that. The increasing acceptance of allowing remote work is a contributing factor. Many remote people are great, but not everyone should be allowed to do it.
