I don't think the API gives actual train locations? It just gives an estimate of how long until the next train arrives. I've found that it is pretty accurate on some lines, but it feels like just a guess on others. I recently waited 45 minutes for a train which the sign and app perpetually said was 12 minutes way. I generally look at the sign or app now and think of it as a binary thing - the train is either probably coming soon, or it is going to be a while.

I heard a story from a colleague who had recently traveled to Japan. He leaned over the edge of the platform to see if a train was coming, as is common in NYC, and found that this surprised everyone around him. They trusted the signs and the schedule.

With Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc. seemingly investing in so many promising technologies (ML, robotics, infrastructure, etc.) are we past the era when innovation primarily came from startups?

It used to be that BigCorps didn't want to rock the boat for fear of disrupting their businesses. These tech companies were built on the missed opportunities of the entrenched players, and with our current financial climate and its easy access to cash, they are not likely to make the same mistake?

I am willing to bet that you haven't read the Telegram white paper. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ucUeKg_NiR8RxNAonb8Q55jZha0...) They didn't raise all that money to build out their chat app. They are looking to make a digital currency that can handle volume and is practical for day-to-day purchases, compared to the primarily speculatory coins that exist right now. The $1.7B they raised came from 175 accredited investors that purchased the entire supply of utility tokens in the pre-sale.

I follow local market and food truck events, a couple of cool bars and arcades I like that frequently have events on, a place that does dog-centric events, local car shows that are of interest to me, etc. Facebook then surfaces other events that it thinks are of interest to me, and most of them are. I'd say 75% of my social calendar comes from Facebook events. I can understand young people not being interested in any of this and following their specific interests, like following a band on instagram rather than a venue on facebook.

Your saying "I use Facebook Events extensively" places you most likely in the ~30-50 age range.

The 30+ crowd appears to believe that FaceBook is the most logical way to organize events - you can check in on your own schedule, without feeling pressured into immediately responding to someone poking you about joining up. Today's youth has no problem being expected to respond within minutes - or in the worst case, a couple of hours - to an inquiry made via SMS or Snapchat.

ie: Older person: "I may have some free time this weekend, maybe I'll check FaceBook tomorrow to see if anyone is planning something"; vs. younger generation: "Someone snapped our group telling us to come out with them Saturday, I'll decide in the next 5 minutes whether I'm in or out".

There's already 7,6 billion of us, tendency rising, I see no good reason why I should contribute to that number growing even faster because it seems already unsustainable enough as it is.

In that context, I see especially no reason to have any biologically related offspring. It's not like there's a shortage of orphans, because adoption might just as well be another option to actualize this inherent need to "leave something lasting behind as to give purpose to our existence", by passing on values and life-lessons.

Too bad the barrier of entry to that is usually very high, I guess for good reasons.
This must be related to the Cox-Zucker machine https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox%E2%80%93Zucker_machine
A few of the local meetups are organized over FB instead of Meetup.com (because even the few bucks that Meetup charged was "too expensive" - though I think more in time/logistics than in actual dollars).

Similarly, my daughter's GirlScouts troop uses FB exclusively for organizing/announcements/voting, etc.
No. We should very aggressively pursue the use of natural gas until all coal plants are shuttered. Then we move on to dealing with natural gas after that. Anything that makes natural gas better in the meantime, is a plus to the process.

China for one example is getting an extraordinary amount of their electricity from coal. They're consuming more coal than the rest of the world combined. You are largely not going to be able to fully replace that with PV in the next 20-30 years. It can potentially be replaced with natural gas, nuclear and a combination of traditional renewables.

The US is in the same boat, albeit with a much lower level of coal consumption and a vast domestic supply of natural gas. All coal plants should be shut down in the US by continuing to transition to natural gas, while we keep building a lot of wind and solar, and at least maintaining our nuclear output (ideally we'd double that, but...).
You might be right... I think it's fair to say we're both guessing.

To me it just doesn't seem logical to resort to such a "nuclear option" over a review disagreement, instead of just complying, negotiating, or at least working around the problem in a creative technical way. It's not like Telegram is changing in some fundamental way since the last review... What could Apple be telling Telegram that is such a massive showstopper?

No, it's not. Virtually every startup has assets (i.e. employees) worth more than company business (i.e. zero revenue). It is super important to distinguish between dieng company vs sick company vs growing company. If there was someone who killed every human for their teeth and bones when they fail to be productive because of sickness , you won't consider that as wise business choice.
Ask HN: AI implementation program in backoffice / admin in complex organisation
Hi Community,

I work for large European corporation that is willing to take more coordinated effort in implementing AI in its back-office function (commercial / customer facing is already worked-on).

1. Could you recommend organisations that are strong leaders in this regard? Extremely grateful for pointing also toward actual people.

2. Any recommendations on reading materials on practical lessons in driving AI initiatives / innovations in corporate set-up.

Bonus question ;-)
3. Any suggestion on YC startups operating in such a space?

Thank you all

I got asked the water jug brainteaser in an MSFT interview, as luck would have it I had recently watched Die Hard With a Vengeance so I knew the answer :)
My latest signing certs were issued around last August, and there didn't seem to be any extra rigmarole to get them (although I work for a large corporation; maybe that makes a difference?).

We've basically got a giant keystore server that handles the secret keys for all of the company's signing, then signing provider plugins installed on the build machines to communicate with the keystore, while allowing us to use standard tools like signtool.
Snapchat, whatsapp, FB messenger, kik, viber, instagram, twitter ("slide in my DMs"). What I'm unsure about is anonymous online interaction. Is reddit and topic-specific forums all that are available? Maybe FB groups?
It was a unified high speed interface that could do both. Farallon came up with cheap network adapters that allowed Macs to talk to each other (and a LaserWriter!) over local phone wiring.

That was huge -- plug and play networking for mortals.

It may not have been true on Wintel PC's, but on embedded platforms, it's very common to there be only one C compiler.
Stackoverflow? It's a real place to discuss programming. Discussions spans across years, and not limited to solving a particular technical problem, there are questions about general concept clarifications. Plus there are also github repos where relevant code is discussed directly.
They need to be inthe city on voting day, and whatever the vote is they dont have the same level of intensity of interest than the homeowners.

Lets look at the big picture: if everyone that lived in san francisco in the last 10 years voted to build more or to stop building, what would be the resulting of such a vote?

I think the answer is obvious. And the fact that it isnt, is just lack of representation.
For MSFT C use cases have been long replaced by C++ and the compiler is called Visual C++.

They support C11 to the extent required by ANSI C++17.

For anything else, the offcial answer is to use clang or gcc.

The alternative is betting that none of [clang or gcc or MSVC etc] experience similar critical failures.

If your plan for MSVC causing issues is to let it be broken with MSVC –– then MSVC is already not a tier-one platform.

And if you're going to avoid failures caused by issues in MSVC, the existence of other compiler options doesn't change the work you have to do to achieve that.
Fair enough, I do see this as high quantity, low quality - although I do wish people would understand the point. I didn't realise that equalled a flame war. I just wanted to stand up for myself and an obvious truth. I didn't really think it was a flamewar until there was name slinging and the arguments deviated away from a reasoned rebuttal. The snark level was definitely escalating, so apologies if I contributed to that - my karma was duly punished :)

> Olive Garden drama of years past

Ahh, Olive Garden. I hope you won't mind a slight tangent involving Olive Garden, one of Paul Graham's essays, and a sneaky business deal:

In one of his essays[1], Paul Graham wrote, "I think most businesses that fail do it because they don't give customers what they want. Look at restaurants. A large percentage fail, about a quarter in the first year. But can you think of one restaurant that had really good food and went out of business?"

Yes, I can name a restaurant that had really good food and went out of business -- it was all of the Olive Garden locations in Ontario, Canada, about 15 years ago. They were always busy, always had a line-up to get in, and pretty much everyone I knew liked the food a lot. Then suddenly, without explanation, all of the Olive Gardens in Ontario shut down.

Much later I learned that Olive Garden USA had shifted some large debts to its Olive Garden Canada subsidiary, and allowed the Canadian subsidiary to go bankrupt, freeing the parent corporation of the debts. (So businesses fail for odd reasons even when they have excellent products and masses of loyal customers.)

At the university I'm at, every time the library dropped its subscription to a particular journal there used to be a strong backlash from academics at the university.

The first point is what I was getting at. Although more from the perspective of “enjoying the fruits of”, rather than “complicit in”. Which seems hypocritical to me, no matter how you look at it. Especially considering we’re generally among the most highly paid professionals in the world.
The Armory in SF has one of these flowing through its lower levels. I saw it when getting a tour a few years ago. It was kind of neat to see water entering one side of a basement-y room and flowing out the other side.

Unedited content is more referring to the style of posts. I joined Twitter in the phase where people would Tweet "My Chipotle server gave me a lot of rice today." Now of days, if you're an average Joe, that's a Tweet most people brush over. With Snapchat, though, it transforms the message of that Tweet in today's generation much cooler simply by way of pictures. A candid photo of a Chipotle bowl that looks delicious? That once boring Tweet is now more interesting. Both are "unedited" such that they are candid posts, but Snapchat found a way to actually make the uninteresting fairly interesting.

Yet it's low-income households who have the highest birth rates [0] afaik this isn't unique to the US, in Germany the situation looks similar.

It's extremely interesting how this relation between income&fertility doesn't just hold true on a country vs country scale, but also on a domestic level inside these countries, there must be something very fundamental at work here.

The only way to consume content the way you want to on locked-down devices is to basically MITM your traffic and run it through something like Proxomitron[1] or Proximodo[2].

I continue to find it ironic that the very same technology, often detested in discussions here, and present in the middleboxes that companies use to block/filter/inspect the traffic between their networks and the Internet, can also be used under your control to enhance your computing experience. I believe that everyone should have complete ability to modify the traffic that flows to/from the devices they own, and this is something which those who strongly support making connections "more secure" and harder to MITM often fail to consider.

Sorry to go off topic, but I'm wondering what's the goal of the tool as there are already ways of doing this. I've created a bat file that uses youtube-dl to download a video and convert it to gif using several tools and parameters (ffmpeg, imagemagick). I use it to make inline posts on hangouts since it's 2018 and I need a mobile device to post inline videos there for some reason.

Anyway, your tool seem to get good image size on videos with lots of colors, but horrible size on simpler images. Using the --fast switch as it took 6 minutes to convert 387 frames to save 10% on filesize. I'm comparing it to ffmpeg with a pallete as it seems to get similar image quality with a smaller size in most cases.

Gist of my bat file. https://gist.github.com/Nodja/8ece6c3d866867877442e34bf67ece...

edit: After reading this after posting it, it looks as I'm super critical/aggressive. I'm just genuinely curious at what drove you to write the tool as there are already ways to achieve what you wanted. Didn't mean to antagonize you.

It's whether one views the intersection of profit and war as intrinsically evil, which for most people is a resounding yes. Humans are already good enough at killing and causing misery for each other without adding additional economic incentives into the mix.
If you will increase your total profits by offering a student discount, then offer a student discount. If not, then don't.

Cinemas don't offer preferential pricing to children just to be nice. They do it to maximize profits as, overall, children are more price-sensitive. And it's much easier to enforce 'child-only' prices than it is to enforce 'disposable-income-less-than-X' pricing.
War will always be evil, it's usually just about whether it is a necessary evil.
OK, I get that. Methane, even without CO2 capture, is better than coal.

> A great school and teacher obviously can change the lives of children in poverty but it's astonishingly difficult and requires immense talent to achieve.

Teaching children in poverty is a specialization. Teachers can excel at teaching children at upper middle class schools but fail miserably at an inner city school. People complain about privilege on teacher quality difference between inner city and good schools. The truth is that the "good" teachers at an upper middle class school wouldn't be much of an improvement over the "bad" teachers at inner city schools. The "good" teachers only know how to teach well-behaved, studious students!

That is why integration failed. The environment at good schools are good for children with familial support and low behavioral issues. It is not good for children with behavioral issues without familial support.
