Dockless gives gives you closer to end-to-end or "last mile" so much more than docked systems. With docked systems, you have to walk to both the pickup dock and find a drop off dock near your actual destination for a one way ride. So your "last mile" is very nearly always walking. They are limited to n(n-1)/2 routes where n is a docking station. With dockless, it's more like a car but without the hassle of finding a parking space, you can ride right up to your destination wherever that may be, and just get off the bike leaving it there. The only walking is to the nearest available bike at the outset of the trip. Data point of one here, I've visited cities with docked systems and commented on how cool it would be to use it, but I visited Seattle and actually used one of their dockless systems for several days during my stay, from short multi-block rides to a 14 mile round trip ride. It's tremendously useful for the shorter trips that are just too far for walking. The longer trip was for the heck of if it to see a little more of the city by bike with an errand to pick up a laptop charger needed that morning for my wife.

The vast majority of cases where this relevant (99+%) are identity theft, where you got the name / ssn /address through some mail or website or whatever and uses that to contract things on someone else's name.

Also, finding differences in signature is much easier and much more advanced / developed than you would think. Even if you copy mine after seeing it or having a model, the places where you slow down your pen etc... Vary compared to me, and that can be detected.

Is it possible with technology to make a perfect copy? Of course, but then you just move to the next steps of the case, and you already cleared out the majority of bogus cases.

So having a fixed stable signature is a very good thing for you the user, and it always surprise me when I see people who think they played the system when they screw their own protection like parent.

I test my bottled water and it has ~4ppm of stuff in it... my well water has ~400ppm of stuff... I would rather drink the purest one... I could buy a reverse osmosis system to purify my water but I would not be saving money.

The people in my city that have city water often complain about cloudy water, so it's not any better (maybe worst).
Um, no. Things like murder are criminalized because they involve the infringement upon the rights of others against their will. Prostitution does not infringe upon anyone's rights against their will.

>And that’s without mentioning the high technical barrier of RSS that filters ordinary users away. For many popular content providers, there’s no full text output, even no conspicuous feed address. Shall I suggest my mom switching to RSS and subscribing to her favorite WeChat official accounts by setting up an Linux server running web crawler? I haven’t be nerdy enough to do that.

Well it's a protocol. Just as we have better e-mail clients than we used to, we can have better ways of dealing with feeds. Part of the push to re-establish RSS is the hope of more services exposing more and better RSS feeds to be consumed.
There was also an issue of them marketing it as a twice a day drug, which would create big swings for users that fostered addiction.

I think you may underestimate the impact e-bikes are going to have on major (non-car centric) cities. They'll likely reshape cities significantly as infrastructure gets improved for biking. You can get significant traffic density improvements by pushing bikes instead of cars, and e-bikes make this more accessible.
I upvoted this comment, which is exactly correct. HN will, as a group, attempt to remove race from any analysis, when in fact racial bias is present basically everywhere we have enough data to look.
Fair point that! I must've been in a long-term relationship too long, other types of relationship were in my blind spot
That is the program cost. Like with software, much of this cost would be in the design and intellectual property of the program. The replacement cost, the cost of goods sold, is far lower.

"Make transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere, for everyone."
Interesting, I must say this makes some sense. On the otherhand I'm quite seriously opposed to wealth redistribution of any kind. While this isn't a major communist situation, it is as you said a welfare state.

Historically capitalism is cyclic. Inequality grows over time until people are fed up and the system breaks, and then repeat and things are good for awhile. Perhaps one solution would be purposefully resetting the cycle from time to time. An occasional slight redistribution which gives the necessary boost to those in poverty to have some kind of fighting chance.

Its probably a bad idea as most socialistic ones are but eh it sounds interesting, who knows.
I would hope that it works now, my worry is more will it still work without me buying new stuff in five years?

Depends on the relationship/partner goals. There are people looking for more short term situations which will probably keep them on the site.

But yeah for those interested in more long term relationships, that's what happens. I cancelled my subscription after I went exclusive with someone.

Consider the goals for a dating website. Finding "the one" is hard; there's just too many factors. Even if you could put all the data gathering on the web for that, how many people would want to do it?

However, if a site is enabling the user to meet more people (and the right kind), I think they're delivering the most value they realistically can.

Value is in the eye of the beholder...
How Did Private Search Engines Become a Thing?
There's some irony in the current situation. FB created the Skinner box that harvested the information, then essentially gave it all away to anyone who could write a "viral" app, from Cambridge Analytica to Zynga. The data's out there, and if FB makes changes to let users actually delete their copies, it doesn't matter for anything harvested before 2015 or so.

To use a wildly over-dramatic metaphor: this is what nuclear winter for data looks like. Sure, all the explosions are done, but the fallout will continue for quite some time.
So why not tip your waitstaff with a bottle of beer? That sounds appropriate right?

Unlike very other tech product, the board inside Turn Touch is user replaceable (without tools!). So you can order a new circuit board when the wireless standards improve and get new functionality without having to spend the full amount.
The quality of the signal seems to depend heavily on the quality of the bike service. If they aren't moving bikes to where there is demand, they aren't generating any information about where people want to go (because people aren't using the bikes).

It can also miss the forest for the trees if they have a few bikes that they usually put in an okay spot (but not enough bikes to meet the real demand).

I cannot distinguish this story from a made up one. If someone wanted to make it up it could have not been worse.

EDIT: unless personal boundaries would be trespassed.
a lot of the cost of a given spacecraft is the years of test and verification that goes into inspecting the hardware and confirming that it is flight-ready. that involves dozens or hundreds of engineers working long hours in clean rooms with enormous vacuum chambers.

also god only knows what the electronics on these spy satellites looks like. i wouldn't be surprised if there is significant custom silicon on them.
They wouldn't want anyone to be able to recover anything from a re-entered satellite, and would presumably design it so that nothing would survive reentry. At some point, at the end of its service life, they would likely have wanted to de-orbit it anyway.
He is making a statement akin to a growth process: wealth and social position accumulate over time and need many generations to come to fruition in that argument.

I think the Asian example vs A-A in the US is a counterexample to this argument.
One of the things I've noticed with on-prem equipment at work, is that when the Internet has gone down in the past, most people don't actually... notice. The scenario is obviously very different than a home user, because multiple users can still communicate amongst the organization with outside Internet down, but there's huge benefits to being on-prem that have gotten disregarded or forgotten about.

A consumer-grade UPS on my home PC and network equipment has reliably kept my home setup reliably up and connected for all except for ISP outages.

I have a specific use case. When I go to sleep I don't have a laptop or my phone on me, but I want to tell my flat that I'm going to sleep now and it should shut down all the lights, the TV, the music and other things. And in the morning if I'm still asleep it should not tell me that my train is leaving in 7 minutes because I will not catch it anyway.

In the morning my flat turns on the light in the sleeping room automatically to wake me up, but everything else is still switched off, untill I really wake up. Then I want to say to my flat that I'm awake and it should start brewing the coffe and tell me that I need to leave soon because the train is leaving, it also should start the radio so I can listen to the news while brushing my teeth.

For that a button in the sleeping room would be awesome, I even build one myself for about $2 https://github.com/jeena/esp8266-button

My flat shuts everything down which might use energy when I leave and it can't see my phone on bluetooth anymore. Then it also starts the CCTV cam so it can notify me if someone came into my flat while I'm away. When I come back it cuts the power to that CCTV.
I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I imagine the key is in how you build defensibility around the core ride-sharing business.

Ride-sharing suffers from the problem of clustered networks - you can be a global player like Uber and still lose the entire city of SF to a competitor like Lyft, or feel a minnow like Juno tear into your margins in NYC.

Having bike sharing in your pocket helps you build a wider moat around these clustered networks. If I typically take a bikeshare to the subway every morning, and rarely Uber on the weekend, Uber might win 10 low-margin trips from me during the week (bikeshare to and from the subway every day), and through the use of a loyalty program incentivize me to make my 2 high-margin weekend ridesharing trips Uber trips.

So yes, it is an adjacency, and it is lower margin than ridesharing and capital intensive, but this is a difficult market and at this point in the game it might make sense.
The evanescent nature of Snapchat is probably what's making it less harmful than the others. Though disappearing content probably just introduces different issues.
Thats a great, but naive mindset. The average person eats what they can get at the lowest cost. The market dictates consumption for the majority of the population. The populous won't stop consuming unsustainable, anti-biotic ridden, polluting meat until there is a cheaper but equally satisfying alternative.
Why I Don't Recommend Scrypt (2014)
>The bullet points of "fixes" that MZ outlined don't really address the fundamental problem. Facebook's "data privacy" problem is not fixable if they have to ultimately run valuable ads against that data.

I wholly disagree. They don't have to disclose the data to anyone in order to use it to target ads. Their targeting system works by allowing advertisers to specify targeting criteria, and then using logic on Facebook's own servers to match users to targeted ads. They aren't selling or disclosing the data to anyone. People keep conflating the CA situation with the business of targeted ads. One has nothing to do with the other.

That sounds pretty fun. But after you get the basic workings right, isn't it just a latency war with other trading bots (meaning the lowest latency gets in the most profitable trades)?

I'm down to 4 checks per year now. City and County taxes, twice per year. For some reason the local government still uses a credit card processor that adds 3% on top of whatever you pay, and when you're talking about property tax that's painful. The stamp is much cheaper.

I've been printing the amount for years now, as my cursive was never terribly legible to begin with and has decayed from lack of use. The whole point of that field is to make it so someone can't just add some zeros to the end of the value. Just write the value out and draw a line through the rest of the field.

The closest city bike docking stations are a ~10 minute walk from my apartment, and a ~5 minute walk from my office. There is always a dockless bike within a ~5 minute walk from my apartment, even during morning and evening rush hours, and I can leave it directly in front of my office door. The time spent on the bike is the same in both cases, about 10 or 12 minutes. So a docked bike commute is 25 minutes door-to-door, with a lot of time kind of "wasted", whereas a dockless bike commute is between 10 and 15, and all of the time spent feels like I'm making progress toward my goal.

It's worth noting that taking public transit (Muni bus) between these same two points takes at least 30 minutes (good day, light traffic, no mentally disturbed people interrupting the driver) and has taken as long as 55 minutes. A Lyft is also reliably slower, especially in the evening rush hour.

To be honest, the time taken is not such a huge deal. The bigger draw, by far, is that riding the electric bike is completely effortless, and usually quite fun. And it's also important that they are extremely handsome, I don't feel like a goober when I'm on them. Riding the city bikes, in comparison, is a completely different experience. You feel how big and heavy they are, you can easily work up a sweat, and they're not handsome machines, everyone looks a little bit like a doofus on them.
Well, you can't move a biological clock. Women that get pregnant after age 35 are deemed high risk, advanced maternal age. The risk of downs syndrome and other defects goes way up. Men having children after age 35 also have some poor outcomes, but not quite as bad or likely.

There sure is a lot of assumptions here too. More and more men are becoming stay at home dad's...myself included. Guess what, it impacts our career too. Possibly more so...I can't tell you the number of people that seem shocked to hear I stay home. Some literally are speechless.

After reviewing the report and the associated studies, there are no indicators that this is a causal relationship - just correlations. My immediate reaction is "why are we ruling out the possibility that they are on Instagram / Fb / (insert network of choice) because they do not have healthy EQ (emotional intelligence as a proxy for "mental health" here?)"

I don't have skin in this fight, but I am extremely skeptical of "correlation over causation" with specious conclusions that justify certain opinions that are popular here on HN.
I disagree with the premise. AI isn't like a nuclear warhead. It's not a machine for pure destruction. AI can be used as much to generate welfare as to damage - it's all in the application. Sharing methods benefits at least as much as it could hurt.

What a fun name for a programming language.
Nginx will generally be pretty low memory. I know on our web servers we've bumped all the cache sizes quite significantly (10-100x the default) because it's optimised for much smaller machines than we use.

Also, the attack surface is less about the port, and more about the protocol. A Node HTTP interface is going to prioritise being correct as much as possible, because you're coding to the API. Nginx on the other hand will often by default (or at least with configuration) give a much more restricted implementation because it knows that there are bad people out there on the web.

To take a totally made up example that may or may not actually be the case, but should make the point... you can upload files in web forms with multipart/form-data - I would expect Node to either not have a limit, or have a very high limit, so that you can set it up how you want. Nginx on the other hand has a default of something like 2MB, which is maybe a bit low for apps that need file upload, but will crucially prevent certain kinds of denial of service attacks.

There are many similar areas of attack, abusing edge cases of the HTTP spec that Nginx will handle well out of the box. Not to mention the HTTPS support being probably much more complete in Nginx (in terms of cipher suites and browser compatibility).

There would be no privacy issues if the users did not give up that private data willingly in the first place.

I think it comes down to progress. Most of the meat we consume has a heavy toll on the environment. And with many other countries developing, gaining wealth and having the purchasing power to consume meat regularly, it's going to be a disaster. We innovate in so many respects, why can't we innovate with tasty, satisfying ways to consume proteins and fats that don't have the destructive nature that our current system has?
That's the fallacy with hourly billing. The alternative model is value-based pricing, where you price the solution/intervention upfront.

Of course, this becomes more expensive upfront as well, because the consultant takes on the risk. Hourly billing seems cheaper to the client, since they have to take on the risk instead.

Well, the other thing is that people know that the drivers have a ludicrously high rating level they have to maintain. Basically, giving anything less than a 5 means that they should be fired. Most people, while they may not have had an outstanding ride, don't think the ride was bad enough to warrant someone getting fired, so they just rate 5 stars.
