This is my vice. I eat pretty healthy and do a high fat low carb diet and am in pretty good shape, but this is my one cheat item. And I consume it regularly. It's basically the only bad carbs I still eat, generally speaking. I've always had a thing for sugary drinks in any form - juice, soda, etc. Maybe one day I'll shake it.

There are proprietary advances in lithium and other chemistries, as well as in the charging systems.

Uber can best reposition and charge scooters ofc, not bird or lime.

But very unclear that it will be worthwhile to do so. There is also the price that the consumer will bear for a scooter. When it's cheaper to own one's own after 30 days, and storage is trivial (not true with cars, true with scooters), not clear there is a rental business to be had.

Comparison: the UberX experience these days is terrible. Smelly cars, surly people. But popular still, bc because need it and it's the best option. Whaddya going to do? Drive yourself? That's impractical for UberX use cases.

When the Bird experience is no longer novel and the scooters cause broken arms and are smeared with urine, will people still use them? Or pop $300 for their own clean ones? Or walk? Both possible for all use cases.
I second eliminating the one year cliff. This is becoming market-standard. And not just for the employee's benefit. It's a lot easier to tell management their heads are up their asses when you're vested. Good for the company.

It's a bit remarkable how quickly this sort conspiratorial thinking feeds on itself. The victim constructs a paranoid fantasy where a single company can "turn off huge parts" of the web. This is silly in itself but what's interesting is how the fantasy completely diverges from reality. Here the simple reality is Google single-handedly saved the web by introducing a browser, Chrome, that actually implemented web standards faithfully and made the web performant. And this is just one contribution: on the whole, including everything from web fonts to HTTP/2 to Android's support for the web... and it's clear that no other single entity has done more for the web than Google. But note the dynamic where the truth reinforces the paranoid fantasy. Every single contribution now becomes just more proof that Google controls the web and will shut it down!

Unless your new classical mechanics predicts the outcome of an experiment that other existing theories cannot predict, and that prediction turns out to be true if such an experiment is conducted, your new idea is just another hypothesis.

Furthermore, all the real physical quantities come from the fact that we assume space and time to be continuous (i.e., similar to real numbers). So your hypothesis boils down to the claim that space and time are discrete. And that is not new. Plenty of people have proposed that hypothesis, and the idea of planck length and planck time are conjectured to be the smallest units of space and time. But the two values are of the order of 10^-35 m, and 10^-44 s, respectively. This is way below our ability to prob smaller length and time scales. And to the extent that we have been able to prob length and time scales (roughly 10^-15), space and time appears to be continuous.

Finally, when you're giving up continuity in any sense, you're essentially 'quantizing a theory'. So it's no longer a classical theory but a quantum theory. We have already quantized energy (quantum mechanics), as well as physical fields (quantum field theory), and associated phenomena. But quantum (i.e., discrete) space and time are only a hypothesis at the moment.

> 'randomness' for numbers is not really a well defined mathematical property.

Randomness is a well-defined property. We say that numbers are random, or "normal", if an infinite sequence of their digits forms a uniform distribution. The reason we call them "normal" and not "random" is because they are the norm - almost all real numbers are normal.

In India earlier, people in the South used to brew their own coffee at home, from coffee grounds / powder. There is a special steel utensil for it, with two vertical parts, one of which sits above the other. The top one has fine holes in the bottom of it. You put the coffee powder into the top, then pour some hot water over it, then wait for some time until it extracts the coffee into the bottom part. None of your fancy coffee machine stuff. They call it "decoction" :) Oldsters (and youngsters too) used to swear by it, and could not manage without their morning fix of a cup or two. Some probably still do. We had one of those utensils at home. Usually made with milk, BTW.
I find the statement "Markets actually work because they're adaptive. Bad things get killed, good new things sometimes get promoted" to be incredibly naive. Markets don't kill "bad things" – tobacco and other addictive drugs are multibillion dollar markets, and ineffective medicines like homeopathy and bogus folk medicine have been doing just fine for centuries.
Few and far between. Whenever I hear this, it's always "oh, they take subsidies".

The only ones I've heard that haven't been trolling are concerns about their financial reports, which are always "concerns about financial reports" with no additional information.

Ok, go ahead and be concerned that the stock is inflated. It's not a real conversation.

Like, for example, look at what happened last week. We were bombarded by an avalanche of negative Elon/Tesla articles. It was consistent. "Tesla Factory is HELL". Like, I must have read "HELL" 3 or 4 times last week. This followed by a failed coup attempt to oust him from the board of directors. Turns out that there were billions of dollars invested in shorts that Tesla stock would plummet.

There was a coordinated effort to tank Tesla and oust him as CEO last week that failed. The result was that stock spiked and the short-sellers lost like 1.5B.

This is the kind of shit that goes on week after week with Tesla.
The web, as it is consumed by humans, generally adheres to the RESTful constraints quite well. RESTful architecture (e.g. the architecture that lets you use one client to consume literally billions of applications and provides the mechanisms for you to move between them totally transparently) works very well for building a specific kind of application. Now, most of us are not building the web, and so we have other constraints that are often times more important. You are mistaken in your assertion that this was never implemented, considering the fact you posted this comment from a REST client.

A general comparison of REST and RPC is as unproductive and harmful as blindly making "REST APIs" everywhere. The way to escape this game of buzzword bingo is to introduce nuance to our conversations about architectures, not by changing the buzzword.

Ask HN: Review my startup, CrowdLustro
Hey Everyone,

This is my first time submitting anything here but I just launched a site that aggregates investment crowdfunding deals and allows investors to write and share reports.

https://crowdlustro.com/

I have been interested in investment crowdfunding since the JOBS Act. My problem was that the search process involved with these crowdfunding investments is tedious because the deals are spread across multiple platforms that all require account logins. There is also a lack of info on these investments outside of the company pitch and the offering statement.

The site allows for a streamlined search process of crowdfunding investments across the major U.S. portals. It also allows for investors to write and share reports on deals to help shed some light on these investments.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback HN can provide about all aspects of the site.

I think this is an important point which directly impacts the expansion of the blockchain industry. Consumer and Enterprise touchpoints are mostly through exchanges and wallets.

Now while the blockchain itself is secure by default, the exchanges and wallets have routinely displayed vulnerabilities. Even though this should not malign blockchain as a technology, it does it anyway because these wallets and exchanges are the main customer touchpoints.

For example, if an Uber driver is rude and mean and a terrible driver, you are more likely to have negative feelings about Uber because the driver is one of your main touchpoints with the company.

Tldr; Wallets and exchanges need to drastically improve security because they are the main consumer touchpoint, for the crypto industry to improve credibility and adoption.
But that's an artificial limit that has nothing to do with POW.
Um I have a family friend who is a practicing psychoanalyst. They are still eligible for license in all States and remain a popular form of psychotherapy. So don't be so sure the field has moved past Freud. They still think his theories are valid enough to use on people.
If you consider also photo tagging of people, places and things I don't think there is something similar.
> Google delivers a lot of value right now, and without people pushing back, hard, that value will enable them to get away with anything.

So the more Google does for the web the more dangerous they become. Should Google then start fighting the open web? Would that make the web... better?
"The trouble is that talk therapy is already too expensive for most patients"

Not necessarily. Under some insurance plans under Medi-Cal (the California Medicaid program), you get unlimited therapy (once a week) for free.

I strongly recommend that anyone who qualifies for Medi-Cal (ie. if your income is low enough) investigate this option, if you are looking for therapy. You actually get your own choice of therapists, as long as they accept your insurance plan.

Also, when choosing health insurance plans, make sure to take a look at how much therapy they cover. You might be surprised. Some plans definitely cover much more than others.
My public-school education (in the US) definitely never taught the subject. My history classes were divided into clearly-delineated "units" of study with no overlap. "First let's learn about Mesopotamia. Agriculture, Hammurabi, etc. Now recite what you learned on a test. Good, now we're moving on. Greece. City-states, marble statues, Olympics. Another test. Moving on. Rome..."

My "Earth Science" class was structured the same way. We learned about the formation of the solar system, then dinosaurs, then Cro-Magnon Man. Each unit of study was so completely separate from the others chronologically that it never occurred to me to ask "So did Greece and Rome ever have wars?" for the same reason it never did to ask "How did early homonids fight off dinosaurs?". It seemed so obvious at the time that there was no overlap.

Anyway, if I have a point, it's this: never underestimate the inadequacy of the US primary education system.

I tried this for a while, via daily tweets instead of a journal. Tried to find one thing a day, even if it was the smallest of things (e.g. first time wearing a new pair of socks!).

Very quickly I found out that my daily gratitudes are about (1) driving to/from work that was less congested than usual. (2) finding a good parking spot (mostly at work).
(3) getting a tasty lunch (during lunch break, at work).

This actually depressed me, b/c it was just further indication all I do is work.
The conclusions you draw from the results that are presented seem to be a bit of a stretch. From the accuracy table it is pretty clear that the LSTM model outperforms your DNC model in most classes (for both datasets the LSTM achieves the same or better accuracy in 10 out of the 14 classes).

You then argue that the number of "unacceptable errors" is a better measure of model performance, which seems reasonable. However, you don't really show any analysis of these errors other than a table with some hand-picked examples. I would spend some time trying to actually quantify these errors so you can analyze them and show a proper plot or table that summarizes the results.

I think the work is interesting but I would be careful how you present the results. I would suggest adding more plots/tables to back up your claims in a more objective manner or tone down the conclusions a bit. This is meant to be constructive criticism btw, it's not an attack :-) I think with a bit more work you'll be ready for a proper peer review.
Re: moat- it's gotta be price and accessibility.

Since there's no ownership, reliability and durability don't matter as long as it can complete the ride, although it does matter that it's not so crappy a scooter that it's falling apart while riding.

After that, it's just about ease of accessibility and price. I'll walk a block to use a service that is dead simple and painless to use compared to a more complicated app, but I'm not walking a block for something that's slightly nicer, or 10% cheaper.
If your argument is that bitcoin is not a security because it's a currency and that it continues to fall under SEC virtual currency guidelines, then wouldn't buying bitcoin be a forex transaction?
Even if this was correct thesis you could still lose money on a solid trade idea.

Is it really that onerous to do whatever it is you want with your paper, and then just send a copy to the people who gave you your funding?

The State of California funds a lot of research, and having it all available in one place should make things like archiving much easier.

My lab has all our papers available on our website,
but my supervisor is old. He's not going to live forever. It won't be too long after he goes that the website will go too. The server needs security updates every once in a while. The DNS will expire in ten years. We don't use HTTPS, but if we did, it would expire within a couple years. All easy stuff, but when the only person responsible for doing it has died, it won't get done.

I'm not questioning that and it doesn't imply that an outage would be a critical event.

Yes it would be embarrassing and it would be an inconvenience, but nothing worse than what happened today.
>That said, the overhyping, recklessness and hubris at this stage on the Tesla front seems like instead of helping achieve the wildly ambitious goal, they're making it more likely to fail. If Tesla was slightly more reasonable, and extended their timelines out a bit, it's entirely likely they'd be selling more, better cars.

I think Musk and Tesla are in the middle of a real life trolley problem. It is certainly true that people have died as a result of Autopilot. It is also certainly true that lives have been saved by Autopilot. There is no statistics to tell which group is larger, but Musk and Tesla obviously think the second group is larger. If that is true, everything that further delays progress is something that is causing people to die on net. They are instead flipping that switch and possibly killing people, but overall they are saving lives. Thousands of philosophers would have a better take on the ethics of that decision than I would, but that is clearly where the motivation for Musk's aggressiveness is coming from.
I'm glad you know me so well, we should hang out. Then we can talk about my involvement with macedonian (and bulgarian and greek) people, historians, politicians, film workers and 'common people' over the past few years while I was working on a TV series regarding the topic we are currently discussing. Can't wait to tell you about albanian position within republic today and how that story trumps over what we're talking about here, regarding Greece and even Bulgaria. Also, how important Macedonia (as an entity) is to the whole region and how key people and things developed there which influenced world politics. How special relations Bulgaria has with Macedonia (VRMO for example, which is key to Bulgaria and where M stands for Macedonia) and lots of other interesting things.
The sentiment of this argument parallels arguments made against cars when they started becoming common (suddenly over the place, dangerous, a nuisance). These complaints about scooters are a bit humerous because cars are still a nuisance, dangerous, littered all over. The difference is cars are a bigger danger, bigger nuisance, and if you think scooters are littered all over the place, have a look around at how much space all these cars are taking up! :-)

We can get through this transition period and put in place reasonable rules that yes will eventually become commonly complied with. License scooter drivers and or the scooters themselves. Reserve one street parking space per block for scooters and you probably could cram 20 of them in there. Lots of things can be done.
> Citation desperately needed, and not random rantings, please.

It's just math. The amount of electricity needed to secure the network is directly proportional to the price (or more technically, the profitably of mining). This is because if you don't arbitrage out the profitability of mining, then the network is open to a 51% attack because the marginal cost of adding more hash power makes it profitable to keep adding more miners until you have control of the network. Basically the way the current POW is designed, BTC is only secure as long as it isn't obvious in advance whether or not mining at scale will be more profitable than buying BTC after it's been mined.

So given that for BTC to become a successful reserve currency it would need to be worth at least 100x what it's worth today, that means it would need to use at least 100x as much electricity. But that's more electricity than currently exists, and there's no way it would be feasible for BTC to even use a fraction of that.

This means that BTC can't actually ever reach those price levels, because if it did then it would no longer be secure, so would need to immediately drop back down in price in order to account for (and mitigate) the security risk.

Usually at parking spots outside businesses. Or parking areas in general - another friend's catalytic converter got stolen because he drives an SUV and the ground clearance allows for very easy cutting.

In both cases, the camera footage was utterly useless.
The business part aside, vice news and vice, those programs on hbo, offer very informative, undervalued stories. It would be a pity if that format were gone.

Well, just don't get lost. I've taken LSD hundreds of times and the worst was undoubtedly in nature (it was my fault, but I'm sure I'm not the first to make this mistake). I've done it plenty of times at house parties and it's been fine. My objection to a "clinical setting" is being alone with someone you don't know that well, and like you said, being confined and expected / forced to stay with that person.
Reader is a convenient example of a product with a large following that met a simple need. Google is notorious for product and feature churn; being one of their paying customers is exceptionally frustrating as you're basically at the mercy of the Product Management's whims when it comes to features in the product. (Either having them added or removed) No one is denying that other products have a similar issue, but with many other products, you have the option to not update or to stick to a version that meets your needs. With Google, there is no choice.

Similarly, with their free-in-exchange-for-data products, you can't really count on anything being around that long because it's entirely built in Google's world. Any other standalone product, it works even if the company goes belly-up.

Whether or not there are alternatives is kind of irrelevant -- not all alternatives are built equally, not all are cross-compatible for some functionality, migrating out of a product is not always simple, nor is migrating into a product.

Google burns good-will with every product they off; the numerous iterations of chat application is a perfect and current example of this, as I don't doubt that there's probably already a new Google chat product in the works in some department that will be pushed out to Android shortly.
