"One of the most troubling features of life under twenty-first-century American capitalism, I find, is the way that it can limit your sense of human potential; in the process of choosing from among overpriced health-insurance packages, I sometimes forget that it is possible for a government to refuse to allow its citizens to go bankrupt while they’re attempting to stay alive. One issue of Teen Boss features a quiz called “Which CELEB-PRENEUR Are You Most Like?” The options are life-style blogger, creator of a name-brand fashion line, owner of a YouTube channel, and founder of a personal-makeup brand. Another quiz helps girls figure out their “life motto,” letting them choose from “Be Your Own Biggest Cheerleader,” “Nothing Is Impossible,” and “Always Do What You’re Afraid to Do.”"

I really like Jia Tolentino's writing.

The magazine sucks because it valorizes materialism. There's not much more to it than that. Greed is repackaged as positivity and girl power, but it's still a void. The passage I quoted is right--our idea of success is slowly narrowing to this kind of 21st century internet-mediated entrepreneurship. We should dream bigger than kids screaming about video games on youtube.

It reminds me of the often repeated phrase used to respond to people criticizing a popular kids' book: "Well, at least they're reading." The version that would defend this kind of content says "at least they're making something!" The act of creation by itself isn't noble, neither is the act of reading alone. "Would you rather they just watch TV??" No. It's a false choice. Aim higher.
Seems crazy that they would allow routes that are this obviously inefficient. It's as if they're just catering to new folks and not checking to see if the route can be even slightly adjusted to increase total rider efficiency by large amounts (i.e., dropping off another passenger with a 30 second detour, saving 10 minutes).

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! Makes complete sense.

Going to brainstorm it a little bit.
"Work harder, not smarter".

An auto assembly line is a custom-built machine a thousand feet long. It runs as fast as the slowest station. Its reject rate is determined by the worst station.
Every station is custom designed for the product. This is not an easy thing to debug while also trying to use it for production.

On the other hand, Tesla has a relatively simple vehicle without much variation. It's a sled with a body on top. The power train is all in the sled. That simplifies assembly. There are US assembly lines which make a whole range of similar vehicles on the same line. Tesla doesn't do that. They don't have a foundry and IC engine plant at all. What they're doing is well within automotive assembly technology.

Everybody is guessing. Tesla is so secretive that nobody outside really knows what's wrong with their assembly line. Do they have a few troublesome stations, or many random failures? Custom tooling that's not quite right? A high alarm rate from sensors, causing line stops? No buffering into a station that has variable time, so the line upstream stalls?
One station that needs to be split into two, but there's no room? Supplier problems? Aluminum stamping problems? Not enough experienced manufacturing engineers?

Their secrecy isn't helping them. Analysts are assuming the worst. They'd probably look better if they had a reporter who really knows auto factories visit for a few days and write up an honest evaluation.
Benjamin, thanks for sharing! Great README on https://github.com/react-native-ar/react-native-arkit
No not at all im just giving my feedback of why I couldn’t use a great product sadly due to my phobia suffering from its name that many ppl might face the same but don’t bother to give feedbacks.

Fair enough. My method obviously wouldn't work on a non-gas grill, and I'd end up cleaning the grate differently.
You either "volunteer" or you get an unpaid day off if you work on the other production lines.

Is it that different from if I sell you a Euro, a Yen, a Dollar, and a Pound? They are fungible items whose value fluctuates.

How about if I sell you scrap gold jewelry on eBay? It's value will change before you get it and neither of us really knows how much gold is in it when the transaction takes place.
Yep.

Buy industrial land relatively close to residential/commercial areas. Build self storage, wait 20-40 years. Eventually people are going to feel the need to upzone that under utilized industrial land that is so close to a thriving, gentrified neighbourhood.

The City of Vancouver recently upzoned its Flats industrial area, and went to the extra step of banning self storage to ensure people actually build buildings that are capable of employing people.

>would it be more accurate to say that new riders are given a promotional discount and frequent riders are charged a more sustainable rate?

The government had already regulated cab fares to where they couldn't just gouge the customer and (hopefully) the prices were fair to both the cab driver and the rider. Uber re-introduced risk into the equation, along with the opportunity to capture the consumer surplus.
I share your sentiment on its name..
What? My experience was the complete opposite of yours. Not a single tech person I interacted with even batted an eye if someone said they worked at Google, most of the time you will just get "nice, what team?" When talking to non-tech people, a lot of them tend to think that everyone working at Google is a super genius changing the world.

This is fake news.

The media is purposefully generating outrage for ad clicks.

People need to think when they see a headline, "Is this title clickbait?", "Is it purposefully angled in a way to increase likelihood of me sharing the article?"

EDIT: This article should be flagged, since it's spreading misinformation.
Assuming a $200k income, a modest 2bd Bay area house, 2 preschool aged children, between mortgage/rent (4k/mo), childcare (20+k/child/year), car, food, taxes, and other basic life expenses, it's totally possible not to save 50%.

Unless you meant as a childless single person making 200k/yr. Then yes, it's easy.

Another title on this topic which I'm currently in the middle of: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/178203.The_Last_Forest

Enjoying it so far. Seems to be well-researched and well-written.
Well, 7-letter.
Instead of talking to people, lurk on forums :)

Not to summon my inner Bernie, though if you think about the nature of it, it's actually hard to think of a different outcome than the candycrushification of the producer-consumer relationship in an unregulated monopolizing market (thank god Candy Crush wasn't a monopoly of anything).
I wonder if it's more common in Canada because of colder temps making the metal more brittle. I wonder if there's a higher likelihood of incidence when the ambient temp is low.

The lack of a change is the surprising thing here. The article could as easily spun it as "TV advertising holding steady in the face of streaming".
Yeah, that's one thing I really liked about MLB.tv.

It's gone. :(
isn't the main issue here that the classifier that's being attacked is looking for a single subject, not trying to identify the items in a scene? I'm fairly certain a classifier looking for all the items in a scene would still see the banana in the first example.
They don't sell any of their vehicles for a loss... do people not read/understand the financials before stating something?

They have a positive operating margin per vehicle, they for the most part always have. Is it as high as they want the margin to be yet, no, but it's not a loss. Are they spending a ton of money? YES! They are spending more on Cap Ex and R&D than Chevy and Ford combined. This is the same argument people made with Amazon for 15 years.. until one day Amazon became one of the top 5 companies by market cap. A high growth company should be reinvesting every dollar, and then borrow a shit ton more to reinvest still.
Some devices allow you to rename them, UE speakers comes to mind. If you change the name (usually within the device manufacture's app,) unpair, then pair again, the new device name will show. I've used this method on a few Bluetooth speakers but it obviously won't work if the manufacture doesn't allow you to rename the device.
I've never encountered one of these that wasn't immediately skippable.

If it helps you understand, originally cable tv was a way to pay for tv (as opposed to free OTA) that then had no ads, almost like how HBO operates today. Of course, that could only last for so long.
Hi, you can reload the page to regenerate a pw. No way currently to customize it, I just wanted to make it as simple as possible. There is no JSON API, but it is just a static page that uses file.io's API, so you can just view source and see the code - it is pretty simple

> By its very design, it is fundamentally impossible to scale it to even serve even a moderate sized city worth of transactions.

1. This is far from proven. Scaling is definitely a problem, but I don't think it's at all been proven to be impossible.

2. You still have to admit that bitcoin has solved this problem at a small scale, which isn't nothing. Transactions without a trusted central authority are literally impossible with previous technologies.
The OP has joined Facebook in June 2013. Assuming he has 3+ years of experience in Microsoft he must have been hired at Facebook at L4 which puts his salary as 135k + 250K (stock, may be more when Seattle office was just getting started).

Facebook stock was ~$25 in June 2013 which means he has got 10000 RSUs of Facebook while joining. Value of this stock today is around $1.5M.
He is in Seattle and his taxes are way low compared to CA.

OP must have been scoring refreshers ($40k (Jan 2014), $100k(Jan 2015), $150k(Jan 2016). Let's assume has around $300K of vested stocks.

OP has made $1.8M in stocks at Facebook and may be some good bonuses and quitting Facebook after has vested his initial grant.

You shouldn't quit Top Tier tech jobs period unless you're this author who has made >2M.

At the growing pace of FB, Google and Amzn, anyone quitting at L5 levels will learn that they could have ended up as Director in 6-8 years if they work hard in these firms.
In their defense, they tried the title "Blockhead" first but that didn't look as good on the résumé.
He didn't say 2 year's salary, but 2 year's spend.

I urge everyone in tech to try and get to at least 1 year spend saved up.

I didn't live through dot com crash #1, but if #2 is anything like it, a lot of us may be fighting for the same jobs and having your budget right will help.
On behalf of everyone else who puts up with this constant repeated BS for every story about CockroachDB, we get it. Now shut up already and move on. I am one of the downvoters because at this point literally NO ONE cares about your complaint and this constant background whine contributes nothing. If you can't get over the name of a product then just keep it to yourself.
I agree - I was staying in a hotel a few weeks ago, and flicked the TV on. I never really thought about it, but it's probably the first time I've watched TV in about 5-8 years - and the number and frequency of ads was just painful. I couldn't understand who the heck would put up with that!
Like Sling? My mother uses them for sports not available OTA, and they have packages like you describe.
You have a pretty extreme phobia if just seeing the word used for naming the thing that you're afraid of, is a problem for you.

Before clicking the comments link, I always know what to expect in HN comment section for a CDB post announcing their latest milestone or feature:

A lot of congrats and excitement, questions about who uses it in a production environment, very specific use-case questions, and of course the name.

Weird how predictable the response to one company/tech always is.
Where are you located where two weeks' notice is law?

If you are in an "at will" state, the law applies in both directions. Two weeks is a professional courtesy. An employer that is neither deserves nothing.
Same. For the record, I did not intend to trigger a sarcastawar. Was hoping for: I went profile --> domain --> whois, validated against redfin/zillow / county court records... --> traded to equifax for salary history or similar
I think a lot of people forget what it was like during the last tech downturn, or the previous one, or the previous one... or they’re too young to have lived through them. I remember being a month from total bankruptcy, 12 months into a job search, and I had a decade of experience at the time. Almost nobody was hiring. If you haven’t been through it you have no idea. Fund that emergency fund, people!! Minimum 6 months but 2 years is much better.
This is exactly how I imagine how FB's culture would be, towards the arrogant side, I would like to be wrong on this though. Would like to see if anyone else had this experience.
It's not crazy to have 2 years worth of savings. It's crazy to think you need that to be in a position to quit your job.
Incompetence as an excuse can only go so far. It's not like Microsoft is unaware of or completely ignorant that people use their Windows systems for all kinds of things — sometimes even mission-critical things. Choosing to ignore an ill you created despite knowing the consequences it has on others is not incompetence.
My takeaway from this is that the movie made reasonable changes to provide a compelling narrative while retaining the fact and spirit of the most important bits:

* Ray did marry Joan

* Harry did make McDonald's viable

* The brothers were bought out with a couple million

* Ray explains why he liked their name

Honestly, the movie feels worth watching just to hear Harry explain how to make McDonald's work. (Also, you'll see some pretty good acting and nice cinematography)
If that would be true, then Ebay, Amazon, Etsy etc. would have no right to exist in the world.
It's the sheer volume of advertising, if you ask me. I remember once trying to sit through an old western flick with my grandpa. It felt like it took the entire day but in retrospect it probably was around 4.5 hrs to completion which is still an absurd amount of time. As a result I never paid for cable until it came bundled with the internet recently.
You can certainly get cameras at a better price/performance level. So on a pure financial scale, they are difficult to justificat. But a M is unequaled by definition - it is the only digital rangefinder in production. Not to rave too much about rangefinder photography by itself, that means a very compact full-frame camera (roughly A7 size), but where it stands out is the tiny lenses. Even µFT struggles to match the M lens sizes. And at minimum for my back, lens size matters a lot. A M camera with 3 lenses fits into an absolutely tiny bag.
Great, now how about storage? The system setting that says "manage your storage" or whatever should really read "look at your storage and despair because there's nothing you can do".
That actually makes sense. If during quarterly earnings they can claim X number of car the last week of the quarter, that will have a significant impact on the stock even if the week after it drops 50%.
Almost no one fears coffee or large numbers in the same way people fear cockroaches and fire also doesn't generally elicit near the same reaction (there are even types of fires that people react positively to, like camp fires, and many people like the smell of fire). They are allowed to name it whatever they want but it's hard to imagine a name with more negative feelings associated without getting vulgar or ridiculous.
Military service is a "customary shortcut to public affirmation". It may be possible to enlist in some branch somewhere and request a waiver for your felony.

My ex was career army and did a stint as a military recruiter. At that time, you could not join if you already had more than 2 children. OP states he has a wife and 5 kids. There are also age limits and other automatic bars.

All such details vary from one service to another. IIRC, you cannot join the army infantry with flat feet, but the navy has no problem with this.

If the OP (or anyone) is interested in the military option, they should do a quick Google or make a few phone calls to the nearest recruiting office to check on such details. I would hate to see them waste a whole lot of time on something only to learn it is a dead end for them.
It wasn't that bad, let's say, 20 years ago.

Also it was one of the main sources of home entertainment.
Oh, of course. I agree with you that it is not useless and I myself rely on it quite frequently. I guess I should have made my point clear. The relevant point of the blog post is that IS is not very effective at high resolution. I don't know if you've shot with a 5DSR or any other 50+ MP camera It is very tricky to get a super sharp image since the tiniest bit of movement gets picked up. I can only imagine it gets worse at 120MP..
okay so, the un-elided version of foo_no is

fn foo_no<'a>(v: &'a [i32]) -> std::iter::Cloned<std::slice::Iter<'a, i32>> {

I am not sure why the impl Trait version doesn't elide properly; I wrote it without the lifetime first and the compiler told me I need it, so I wrote it out, which is often what happens to me in these situations. I assume, since the elision rules were written years before impl Trait became a thing, that there's some sort of reason why it doesn't elide, but honestly, I'm not sure.
I think it's a California thing. No one in SF or the Bay Area gives a shit about my job title. When I go back East to MA? Everyone's eyes are popping.
Really awful idea. N00b users who buy this will fail to transfer the funds to their own wallets. The startup could retain the sold keys and steal the funds back -- Oh sorry n00b you got robbed, better luck next time.
Fundamental rule of cryptocurrency that they do not teach is:

You could even have the commentators take a break during tv timeouts, and just have some chill crowd shots. Maybe get some teams on board to show what they'd do on jumbotrons during the breaks in action.
To be clear, I haven't said anything about my proposed changes. I'm parroting what I understand to be the changes Google actually applied.

That said...

You're missing that some problems are, actually, entirely perceptive. You're right that changing the mirror to hide problems isn't addressing the underlying issue, but sometimes treatment of symptoms is the only available (or possible the most effective) option. Like everything else, it's one tool that can be applied poorly or effectively.

> it would be unfair to simply damage the service for one group to appease the another

This is ineffective as a stand-alone principle. The failure mode is described as "your freedom ends where mine begins" and is clearly visible in the exaggerated (and somewhat contrived) example of "damaging services for murdering to appease those who want to remain un-murdered is good".

Like all principles, this has both extreme-case failure modes (services for murderers) but also fuzzy-case failure modes. If the term for my identity is sexualized, when that identity has nothing to do with sexuality... well, what's fair? Why should group X define the term instead of group Y?

So, for cases where the problem is primarily perceptive (or the symptoms are primarily perceptive), seems reasonable to me to warp the mirror. It's like using glasses: you're already looking through a warped lens, so use a correspondingly warped lens to correct.

My actual point is that systems that incidentally encode biases then let you better examine those biases, and, depending on the situation, do stuff to address them.

Llama and alpaca really don't count. They are much smaller and much weaker than cattle. You can breed them to be bigger, but there may be limits to that; there may also be a path dependence to it, in that they started in one economic niche and there was no reason for a concerted effort over dozens or hundreds of generations to make them stronger.

Bison are much more problematic IMO for Diamond. The most I've seen on them is that they are surlier than cattle. But it's not like aurochs were cuddly fur friends in the beginning either.
Curious why they screwed up some minor details in ways which made the movie worse -- going from Early Times to Canadian Club. Product placement?

That person made videos of STEM + soft-core porn that she said he did specifically to get attention, so it's more to parent's point about portrayal of women in media imagery, not against.
I think the average human being values convenience and low fees much more than privacy (otherwise Facebook and credit cards wouldn't be quite as popular). That means that I expect that wallets and stores that offer the smallest fee will be the ones people use most. A well connected node will be cheaper to transact with by virtue of not having to open a new channel.

That gives well connected "bank" nodes a lot of power because they can decide who they connect with (you could imagine paying a "bank" node to connect with you to enable cheaper transactions for your customers) and as a user you have an incentive to host your coins in one of these bank nodes so that it remains easily and cheaply available for purchases. Meanwhile a small indie shop (or some guy selling socks on ebay) won't have any channel so transacting with them will end up more expensive than buying from a popular store.

Basically you've reinvented Visa without the insurance, regulations and customer protection. At least that's how it looks like to me.

I guess we'll know soon enough which one of us is right. Maybe the truth is somewhere in between.
Yes just hearing or reading the word “cockcroach” gives me a cringe. I tried to google the word “cockroach phobia” just now and damn google shows a bunch of cockroach images that made me press back button immediately and couldn’t read a damn thing.
