But how often is a seller so motivated?

Could Zillow use some combination of data from data brokers to find out how motivated a seller really is and then take them for as low as they can go?

You could make your own hypocrisy argument for anyone that believes that, but seibelj was calling out a hypocrisy purely of size, which is something different.

But I'll disagree. Whatever your opinion on bank bailouts, I don't think this is the same sort of thing. A bailout is providing assistance in the form of extra money. This is a 1:1 fix of damaged money, something that happens all the time without objection.

To fail to protect people is to invite regulation. And because people in different countries own Ether, it might happen that different national governments enact different, contradictory regulatory schemes. It would really be better for the Ethereum devs if governments didn't see a need to do that.
Well, if you pay for a service that promises certain privacy protections, then they are legally obligated to fulfill those promises. That’s one mechanism, although obviously you still need watchdogs and a solid legal and court system to protect the promises.

I once watched Up in the Air and had to ask at the end which one was George Clooney. (In my defense, I had previously seen him in Syriana, where he had a beard. Hair and facial hair are the crutches I tend to use to recognize people.) Needless to say, on the Famous Faces test I had trouble with anyone less memorable than, say, Barack Obama.

The 427 is an FE family engine, which was used in NASCAR. The engine used in the gt40 was based in a NASCAR build of the engine (modified to handle right turns ;) ).

Back then, you could order performance parts from dealerships and whole engines. Could you walk in and order a gt40 engine? I have looked and have not found a part number. However, some race engines did not have part numbers because they were aftermarket parts.
Thank you.

I suspect most poor people hide it in part because the stigma can impede their ability to escape poverty. Classism is alive and well.

Ideally, I would like to see a culture where "rich" people help poor people figure out how to solve their problems. That's all I have ever asked and it doesn't really get taken seriously. I get a lot of flak about just being a charity case, not worth real money, and that I should get a real job instead of trying to figure out how to make money online. Meanwhile, almost everyone else on HN is trying to figure out how to make money online in some sense.

I had no idea that I was relying on all these non-face features until they were dramatically removed for that test. (Which I bombed.)

I guess I'm one of those people who thinks that d3's api is an amazing level of abstraction. It took a bit for it to click for me, but that was mostly because it was my first exposure to functional programming.

Digging through the docs to find whatever configuration variable I'm supposed to set reminds me of the days of jquery plugins.
KMS servers. there are a bunch on the internet you can use, and you can even run one locally on your LAN. only catch is you can't run the server locally (although you can patch out system files to bypass this), and you need to connect to the server every 180 days to refresh your ticket.

Understood - this is one of the most frustrating things about paper mail. In most cases, you don't need to send anything physical.

However there are a ton of cases where physical mail is essentially a legal or policy requirement. Some examples are settlement notices (for class actions and recalls), construction notices (for demolitions), gym membership cancellation letters, insurance claims, credit bureau settlements, certain tax documents & filings, etc.

In most of those cases, by the time you hit the use case, you haven't been to the post office or to a Fedex location in ages. We just make it easy to get over that hump.
Haven't seen this case before but it's pretty interesting. Thanks for suggesting it.
The big-picture advantage is that Windows users can switch to it without becoming Linux users first. Many people actually like (some version of) Windows and would prefer to keep using it, but have issues with licensing or Microsoft's stewardship of the platform.

There are also some technical advantages for applications that require driver code. Examples include specialized software with intrusive DRM (where either the DRM is so beastly or interest in the software is so narrow that there's no crack; ISTR that Cubase is sort of legendary for this) or software that drives industrial equipment. Wine will probably never run this sort of thing.

Other than that, Sleep or Read. I've a ton of books on my Kindle to read.

And when not sleeping, I try and get up and walk around. It's quite nice to hang around either at the bar, or at the back of the plane if in economy.

My trick for sleeping though, is to plug in and listen to Orbital on my shuffle. Works really well.
These should go down as we get higher volume. At the moment the fulfillment services we rely on (for a single piece of mail) are quite expensive. :/
I don't think there's middle ground. Either there's someone in control or there isn't. If you want to trust the system it must be fully decentralized by design. You can't trust people in the long run.
That’s why I said add - I figure you need at least a 30% tax to replace federal income taxes, maybe more. State and local sales taxes aren’t anything to sneeze at either.

It's even more ironic considering cryptography isn't even needed for a blockchain. All you really need is a hash function.

Unfortunately, all is not rainbows and unicorns. Ubiquiti's GUI doesn't treat IPv6 as a first-class citizen; if you want IPv6 you need to head for the CLI and hope you hit upon the right recipe to enable it for your provider - and make sure you set up your firewall rules to only open IPv6 addresses/ports you want open.
Sure, but that's a very small fraction of people vs those that don't really face those constraints (not that there isn't value in "thinking small and efficient")
No worries.

Some of our inspiration came from a couple of earlier services we built for print and mail, where we constantly fielded questions from customers who wanted their mail to arrive faster.
yeah i'm not really sure what the solution with this one is. without insurance or support i'm basically out of options. I was going to live in my car last year but a family member let me stay at their home for 3 months (happened to get a job just as they were on the verge of kicking me out). wife is looking for work but won't make enough to cover rent let alone everything else. we have a couple more months to figure it out so i'm sure something will pan out.

> Hell, I have never seen a ReactOS installation in the wild

I've seen it once so far, because my employer has a no Windows policy for contractual / security reasons and I was requested to translate a foreign-language dialog (on an English language OS installation). It was to solve / use an esoteric bit of Windows, that ultimately did not succeed. I commend the effort to make such a distro, but it is still a decade or longer away from the "casual" techie.
The reason to have a "construction kit" for a given thing is that you are constructing a thing involving a huge amount of choices.

A programming language, an operating system and a database management system are all examples of complex, high level things involving such plethora of choices.

Programming languages have a variety of construction kits of various sorts, from Bison and Yacc to regular compilers and so-forth.

I hadn't heard of any equivalent kit for OSes or database system. Unfortunately, what's described gives the impression of producing a rudimentary system based on a few canned choices. I mean, fully producing an OS would involves generating calling conventions, device driver conventions, process convention, memory allocation methods, etc. (I'm far from an expert on this btw).

Sure, you can say "but all that's just done for you". It probably is done for you ... one particular way. But as far I know, the reason to produce a new OS is because you have some opinion how this stuff should work, usually because you're actually producing an OS to be use by some device and that device some needs and weirdness that needs to be taken into account.

Edit: Oh wait, just remembered, people are now creating "OSes" that are just app-containers intended to run AWS. If that's what you need, maybe this works.

> soon (well, years, but still) people will be using it everywhere as a replacement for Windows.

No they won't. It's a fringe OS that requires technical expertise to install. Not only that but it looks like "old Windows". Users won't want to work with a Windows from a decade ago. Not only that but it'll have bugs and no support.

You'll see tiny pockets of people using it but as Microsoft gets closer and closer to simply having a free OS it doesn't seem likely anyone would ever use this OS for anything beyond "hey, that's cool!".

Nearly two years later, I can say that taking part in a Vipassana retreat has had a tremendously positive effect on my psychological state. I went from being in a state of what I later realized (after the retreat) was borderline depression and rife with anxiety to being extremely calm, collected, and happy.

The meditation was nice, but it's the overall message that underlies the meditation that I found essential: Anicca—everything is temporary. It gives you a mental toolset for dealing with the world that cuts away the weight of the day-to-day in a difficult to articulate way.

Here's my personal take written soon after my return: http://www.ryanglover.net/articles/vipassana
I find Casablanca, Tombstone, and The Princess Bride to be the most quotable movies I've ever seen. We had the same experience with Casablanca, some of the shots/scenes don't always pan out and the gun fights are a little hokey but the writing and story is great.
I will say though that it's been a side-project idea of mine for several years now to build a JSX-like templating language that would generate d3 code. Never got around to it.
That's assuming the only reason they paid that much of those trips was because of price. That's not true of how Uber operates.

They do a lot of things like driver incentives (for being logged on a certain amount of time etc, or for signing up in the first place - a lot of this is during market setup for a given city), complete discounted rides based on new signups for riders, etc. You can assume as their penetration into the market saturates for both drivers and riders that both of these costs will diminish.

A lot of people on Hacker News being US based also ignore the fact that Uber is highly international. I use it almost everywhere I travel for work, I think Malta was one of the few places they weren't. Lyft and similar competitors are mostly either US-specific or even city-specific. There is a lot of different economies in other regions to look at.
But if you are constantly buying, a down market is actually good as it is followed by a bull run.
If you have funds (and zillow would) each doen market is am opportunity to buy some houses for cheap. Put some make up, and eventually it will have buyers, in good markets.

Similar to accumulating stocks. Downturns are an opportunity to buy some stocks for cheap.

The IRS doesn't always know everything. For example, they don't know how much medical expenses were incurred in the tax year. If there's a centralized place where all relevant expenses and incomes are logged, then maybe they should do it for everyone. Else, it's going to be a problem going back and forth with IRS over the right amount of taxes to be paid.

As someone who does quite a lot of long haul flying (maybe 24 trips in the last 3 years that are usually 20-30 hours each) -- I generally try to sleep as much as possible because it passes the time and gives me a good chance to be setup for avoiding jetlag.

The ideal situation for these long hauls for me is to leave the evening local time - sleep a fair bit of the flights (maybe half at least) but then you still arrive tired enough in the afternoon-evening of the destination time that you can sleep most of the night. That seems to work the best for timezone reset for me.

If you arrive at your destination in the morning to early afternoon - leave the hotel and walk around preferably outdoors in the Sun as much as possible until at least about 5PM preferably 7PM. If you didn't sleep much (or even if you did) and you have a bed nearby there's a good chance you'll end up sleeping until about midnight and then you're double jetlagged :)

> Consumers cannot protect their long term interests

If that's really true, then consumers are doomed. Nobody else can protect your interests if you are unwilling to do so yourself.

> the only organization that has the obligation and means to do so is the government.

Governments are subject to all of the same misaligned incentives that ordinary people and corporations are. Only it's worse with governments because they make the laws.

In other words, governments "solving" these problems is a "cure" that's worse than the disease.
