Yes, that is why I clarified of the Vespa variety.

I'm aware they aren't the same thing, but it's two wheels and an electric motor. They aren't that different.
Fun read.

I personally feel like the dork-factor on a Segway comes from it being ridden with both feet facing forward. It gives the ride an alien-like hovering quality.

On the other hand, I don’t judge people on skateboards, particularly because I’m used to the sideways stance. Scooters are somewhere in the middle, but at the very least they don’t make you look like someone from outer space.
I'm British, and we have both Visa Debit and Visa Credit in the UK. I haven't yet looked into whether it's Visa Debit or Visa Credit or both which is experiencing issues.

You forget, everything is chaos in the media. Trains, travel, finance, whatever you like. Chaos sells :)
Accidental Empires - Accidental Empires is the trenchant, vastly readable history of the computer industry, focusing as much on the astoundingly odd personalities at its core--Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mitch Kapor, etc. and the hacker culture they spawned as it does on the remarkable technology they created.
No, we're not going to go around maiming animals just to satisfy your thirst for drones and lasers.

Clean kill or nothing.
Yes, that is quite obviously luck. People don't get to choose your parents. You were lucky enough to have parents that taught you about investing at an early age.

Hard work and luck are both parts of success. Humans just have a tendency to downplay the luck aspect.
Yeah i don't know why people are downvoting you.
A new Carrington event, which is actually long overdue, or an unexpected cyber attack from China which i also don't find impossible to imagine in the next decades and society is at an absolute standstill.

Off course more important problems would probably arise before.

But reflecting on the sustainability of microchip-society in times of outage is healthy.

Crash, Bang and suddenly everyone is 3 meals away from slaying their neighbour.

At least from the outside Toyota city seems to do well, and while it's a "real city", most of it came to be because of the eponymous corporate giant.
I recently moved to Paris and I was surprised to see that these scooters are super trendy now. The most common riders seem to be middle-aged and older posh women who zoom to and from the metro with their noses in the air.

The dorks are mostly seen on electric unicycles.
Wayfair | Product Management (search & personalization) | Boston | FULL TIME, ONSITE

Former YC founder here (Crocodoc, W10, acquired by Box).

tl;dr: Wayfair is run by its original founders and has an unbelievably entrepreneurial product culture that moves quickly and invests aggressively in good ideas. My teams are solving complex problems at scale in two areas: search (from NLP to search UX) and personalization (think machine learning & recommender systems). We're user-centric, super analytical product managers (we tend go very deep on analytics and data science) who also love design and are crazy about creating amazing UXs.

We currently have openings for:

* Associate Director, Product Management - Search (great opportunity to essentially run all of search at Wayfair)

* Sr. Product Manager, Personalization - Multiple roles to own product and site personalization across Wayfair (web, mobile, and app).

Feel free to reach out if you're interested: rdamico@wayfair.com
Not necessarily company or people but I'd like to recommend "Startup Nation" by Dan Senor & Saul Singer. Very interesting chronicle of Israel's economic boom and it touches on interesting history of several tech companies which either relocates, created branches or were created in Israel.
I don't get the hate. I get to work in 10 minutes flat compared to walking more than half an hour. It's a convenient way of commuting, especially if the trains and buses are unreliable.

I guess the people who hate on these scooters are the ones who can't find one that has enough battery or isn't "offline" for some reason.
I run up against this all the time. My browser is fast from blocking all third party trackers and scripts. My searches are faster, so it thinks they're automated.
Recently I interviewed with Discovery, although not for any of these exact 3 positions.

Had an HR screen, timed online programming test, then a phone call with the hiring manager -- who then ghosted me. He seemed obsessed with MongoDB migrations and upset I hadn't done any.

I realize it prob wasn't you and it's up the hiring manager but ghosting is unprofessional, IMHO. If I'm going to take time to pass a technical test and have 2 hour-long phone call interviews, at least e-mail me later to say no thanks.
We have been using WAMP 2 and crossbar in production for a while now. We have js, PHP and python all talking to each other without any issues. We will probably add Go in the next months (prototypes are already working). For authorization and authentication you have to spend some effort to get something working without hardcoded config. Biggest down side is that clustering of the open source router crossbar is not really possible and we haven’t seen any production ready alternatives. Until now this wasn’t really an issue, but it looks like this might be the reason why we will leave WAMP / crossbar this year. Best options to replace this with is probably some solution based on GRPC or NATS.
> Going out to party can also be fun but this becomes the difference in spending $20 at home vs $200 in one night.

Agreed, but try not to be the person who refuses to ever go out because you're too focused on being frugal. A few times here and there won't really hurt you in the long run (and having fun with friends is important and worth the money), but making it a habit every night will. Just avoid the latter.

> Frugal is buying an old reliable honda/toyota for $3,000 vs picking up a $40,000 entry level benz.

Definitely agree. Americans in particular tend to buy way more car than they need, and the difference in price is on an order of magnitude that really does matter in the long run for many of us (i.e. if you invest that marginal $20k, $50k, or $100k and wait 10-30 years instead of buying a quickly depreciating fancy car).
Thanks for the explanation.

But, I do have some comments:

1)

As far as a I can tell the fact that PRIMES is in P doesn't mean breaking RSA is. The problem in rsa is integer factorization for which we do not know whether it is in P. (But also do not know for it to be NP-complete.)

But here you are actually supporting my point: event in that case we could choose sufficiently sized keys.

2)

And yes, the fact that P is self-low does seem to be the best justification we have to give such importance to P vs NP. That's also somewhat related to what I was saying about Turing machines and random access machines having polynomial reductions between them. But that's just because we decided to ignore polynomial reductions.

Continuing my example with even number being the same: We can see that multiplying an even number by any number yields an even number. Does that in any way justify ignoring the multiplication alltogether?

P with a P oracle really is equivalent to P, but O(n) with a O(n) oracle is not O(n), it's O(n^2).

3)

We have many NP-complete problems that have practical algorithms that perform fast on real-world inputs. I don't see how getting a free theorem about K-COLORING would practically mean faster compilers if the polynomial exponent was galactic.
> I’m not convinced with cats yet though

I agree - while there have been cat rentals and cat coffee shops, they haven't really taken off like this.

;-)
If I understand Tor correctly, last mile connectivity is not a bottleneck.
surely the 2 orders of magnitude cost difference suggests they are more different than alike?
Tanium | Emeryville, CA (SF) or Morrisville, NC (RTP) or REMOTE | https://www.tanium.com/

Tanium's product is basically computer security & management software for government and large enterprises. For networks with 20k+ computers, it's the best option by a long shot, and it scales to over a million endpoints without breaking a sweat.

Lt. Gen. Bill Bender, the recently-retired CIO of the US Air Force, said that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." https://www.fedscoop.com/air-force-cio-says-role-become-much...

There are quite a number of roles open in Engineering, Technical Account Management, Security, Sales, Legal, Marketing, Finance, HR, Accounting, and more. Take a look at https://tanium.com/careers/ and let me know if there's one you're interested in. I also included a couple of interesting ones below.

Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, and self directed/unlimited vacation (most folks take 4~5 weeks).

I can't name salary ranges, but my total comp is around $320k ($165k base, ~$100k bonus, and ~$55k stock).

Feel free to ask me about anything, reply here or email nathan.friedly@[company site].

Associate or Director of Technical Account Management: The TAM organization is central to our company, and doesn't have any real parallels that I'm aware of. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.

On site or remote in Canada, France, Japan, UK, or USA.

> Where is this idea coming from that black or women are somehow special cases that need to be handled with care

All people should be handled with care. It's basic empathy. History gives you context that can assist in empathizing with black people and women.

> plenty of people around the world have been killed, enslaved, displaced, humiliated and any number of things

Part of the reason slavery matters so much in the United States is because there are still vestiges of it in all of our political / social / and cultural lives. It's been a part of the U.S. from the beginning and the country has done a piss-poor job of rectifying the situation.

Your comment lacks any perspective on history which in turn affects how we treat fellow people.

While all this is true, I think the most glaring issue with the Segway has always been their size.

They are not small and demand a lot of space on a side-walk, unlike these 'dorky' scooters which share the same profile of a standard bike.
It makes sense, I guess. As programmers, we naturally spend a lot of time with our editors of choice, so we become very attached to them, both emotionally and practically - with Emacs, at least, you accumulate your customizations and extensions over time, and you want all the time and effort you put into learning and customizing to pay off. And with any editor, there's the muscle memory - it's like you're offloading certain tasks to a dedicated piece of hardware, thus freeing your mind to focus on the task at hand. It's a kind of "lock-in", if you will, but it's the kind that enhances your productivity.
So, not necessarily inspirational, and some kinda gross things came out about the author recently, but Disrupted by Dan Lyons was pretty good. It's about his time at HubSpot, which kinda seems like it was almost a parody of startup culture and drinking the Kool-Aid. He later went on to be a writer on Silicon Valley for seasons 2 & 3, and says he would pitch some things that actually happened, and get shot down because they were "too out there and unbelievable".
Okay, so to clarify: are you're seeing 10% failure rates on Visa Debit+Credit, or 10% on everything (including Mastercard, Amex, etc)?

Whole Earth Catalog: 50th Anniversary Celebration
I think it boils down to having or not having, let's call it "religious mindset".

If you have religious mindset (it doesn't matter if you are an atheist) you donate to "save your soul", or, to be less vague, to alleviate your moral distress. If that's the goal it doesn't really matter whether the charity you give to is effective or not. It only matters if it makes you feel like a better person.

If you, on the other hand, care about actually helping people, it matters very much who you donate to.
Hawks dive on prey from altitude, at speeds higher than anything can achieve in level flight. They dive with their wings partially retracted. It's hard to see. The attack is over in a second or two. So if you see crows fighting back then the hawk is moving slowly, probably working its way back to altitude and unable to respond.
And what everyone else is saying is that you're wrong. Just like the article writer who thinks they know everything about 4chan without going on it, you presume a lot about the site that just isn't true. Calling names on 4chan isn't really an insult. It's just the way everyone talks to each other. And race or gender isn't really relevant, and you'll get called racial slurs no matter your background.
At least to me, the fact this happens on a Friday evening suggests it's deliberate, precisely because nobody with any sense would deploy something on a Friday unless it's an emergency.
What is it with HN that so often people comment without having read the full article? And then complain about other HN threads while doing so.. Sigh ..
I've ridden the electric scooters a few times and while I understand the joy the author found I disliked them compared to other options.

I honestly think the electric bikes (Jump/GoBikes) that are coming out are better options. For one you can go faster and further for cheaper than the scooters.

Also the safety issues, I felt much more unstable on the scooter than anything else. I almost ate it when i rolled over a small pothole.
On twitter you just block the accounts that are sending you promoted tweets. Eventually, you'll run out of people trying to target you. You have no recourse on Facebook.

I think that the citizens have kind of lost the whole idea of "representative".

Voters now want to send people to Congress who will carry out a specific agenda. But the idea of a representative is that you were sending someone with (more or less) your general views, and they would use their own judgment.

This whole "pre-negotiation and coalitions before questions are put to the voters" might be more the problem than the solution.
No, they don't. VISA just owns the network that makes all these cards work in lots of places. Banks issue cards.

As a daily bike commuter – I see the scooters in the bike lane all the time. I also think they go pretty fast and at the very least are small and nimble enough that I never feel like they're really in my way. I much prefer them to the docked bikes. People on docked bikes don't ride like other bike commuters, they are a nuisance and feel like more of a danger to other cyclists and traffic in general.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing how this plays out.

If you haven't seen his video, How the Economic Machine Works, I highly recommend it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0bXAIuk0

Also the way he runs Bridgewater is really interesting. It's structured with the goal to surface the best ideas and figure out which opinions are most likely to be correct. It's an "idea meritocracy" and a culture of radical transparency. Everything is recorded and made available to everyone else in the company. Employees are very candid, brutally honest, even with the CEO (Ray). He says a lot of people churn out in the first year or so, but those that get used to it love it and can't imagine working another way. His Ted Talk goes into quite a bit of detail about how it all works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXbsVbFAczg
