That difference makes the article rather uninteresting. It's clear that the highest grossing flights are just the ones which are the most common and most costly. In that kind of situation, airlines might even be competing as loss leaders: strategically operating at unprofitable levels in order to win market share and make up the difference on other flights travelers take. That is, there's a good chance in my mind that not only are these route not the most profitable, they could be the least profitable.
It seems crazy, I can imagine the horror if the pod gets stuck between rocks while going through a narrow tunnel.

The simplest solution is to give the children swimming and scuba diving lessons from inside the cave and then once a safe route has been established, the children can get to the exit one by one (accompanied by a professional diver) by swimming along a rope which leads to the exit.
Sibling comment mentioned mentioned OSAF. Recently I read Dreaming in Code by Scott Rosenberg, which is a chronicle of the fun technical debt (mis)adventures that the OSAF had with Chandler, with some appearances by Hertzfeld.
presumably because you'd need to give up a lot of equity to this woman of color you hire to be the front...

i don't have high hopes for VC funds like this.. seems more like a charitable grant than venture funding..1
I'm not quite sure how a single "mildy offensive rant" justifies someone being fired, instead of a simple "please don't do that again"?
You can't notice the issue since you don't have a bachelor. You are de facto excluded.

It can be compensated with 15 years of experience. Better not be a millennial with no degree.
The original Echo ran something akin to the Kindle e-reader Linux-based OS. Once the Fire Phone failed, many Android engineers were absorbed into the Echo projects and the follow-on products seem to have been migrated to FireOS (or vice versa?).

There are some sparse details about the original Echo floating around[0], but I couldn't find the specifics.

While they may be able to share some firmware, I'd still wager their kernels/drivers/firmware blobs are different enough due to drastically different components interfacing with the SoC. I personally question the value of putting Android on non-mobile screen-less devices (forgetting about the Echo Show).

They had 1.5b in revenue in 2013 (the year before apple acquired them). Apple started talks just 4 months after beats music launched, and was said to put a price on it of $500m (out of the $3b):

I'm pretty sure the holes in the Echo Plus aren't drilled. That would be crazy! Perhaps it is injection moulded with an internal draft and then drilled out afterwards.
See also: the front page of HN. You didn’t think that was an algorithm choosing which stories you see, did you? :)

It works well. And considering how much effect HN has on our daily lives, it’s neat that the algorithm reduces to “this human has good taste.”

I see no reason why HN won’t be around for decades. And that’s exciting. It’s the only newspaper that feels like a community.

This used to feel strange — if you think about the position of influence and power HN commands, it’s hard to feel ok about ceding control to a handful of people, no matter how benevolent. And on certain topics this has indeed been an issue —- if a certain behavior or conversation isn’t tolerated on HN, it’s easy to feel like you’re a misfit who doesn’t belong in tech, or even that you don’t identify with the tech community.

One way to become comfortable with this situation is to trust incentives, not people. The only way HN wins is if HN stays fascinating. It’s why most of us keep coming back: to monitor the pulse of the tech scene, or to learn physics factoids[1], or to spot a new tool that saves you hours.

And that’s why HN can’t be fully automated. Which stories fascinate you? If you could write an algorithm to generate an endless stream of interesting content, you’d have invented an AI with good taste. And for the moment, that’s beyond our capabilities.[2]

[1] As the earth orbits the sun, the area swept out by the triangle formed by the sun->earth->earth3WeeksLater is equal to the area of the triangle during the next three weeks, and the next three weeks after that, and so on. Equal time periods = equal areas. That’s why the earth moves faster when it’s closer to the sun: it has to cover a greater distance in order to sweep out the same area as during the previous 3 weeks. This gives you an intuition about how gravity behaves. And with a slight tweak it also holds true for e.g. an ice skater twirling around. If you stick your leg out while spinning, your leg sweeps out more area than when it’s near your body. That’s why you spin more slowly: if you’re sweeping out more area per time period, your rotation must slow down proportionally. (This is conservation of angular momentum, dressed up in intuitive clothing.)

[2] This is in contrast with sites like YouTube, which give an endless stream of interesting videos. Part of HN’s strength is it’s unified front page. We all see the same thing. And that’s why writing an algorithm to make the front page interesting is much harder than creating a personalized neural network trained to show you all the interesting things you haven’t seen yet.
Is The Verge considered to practice good journalism? Reading the article it doesn't seem objective but rather inflammatory.

But maybe it is intentional? In order to "fish" for more reader interaction and sharing.

There is no less oxygen available with a face mask. The concern with full face masks is that they contain more dead space which can lead to dangerous CO2 accumulation. Divers who use full face masks or hard helmets often turn on at least a little free flow gas to supplement the demand valve regulator and keep their CO2 levels down.

XDP can run in the driver in the "normal" mode, so it's on host CPU. But for some NICs like Netronome nfp, the kernel can JIT the BPF program into the instruction set for nfp and then run 'offloaded' on the card directly, so not even affecting host CPU in any way. See also here for a recent blog post: https://www.netronome.com/blog/bpf-ebpf-xdp-and-bpfilter-wha... So both is possible, but even with XDP running on host CPU like in Cloudflare case above you get excellent performance numbers.
Sure, if you present it that way, it's fine. As in "I'll do xyz for you, somehow".

If you say you're taking people from A to B in a motor-powered cab but you actually come to pick them up in a rickshaw, that's wrong. People will naturally form expectations about the ride based on what you say.
You have the right however it doesn’t mean that the copyright owners need to facilitate that right or even support it all it means is that they cannot use the legal system to subdue that right.

There is an easier way of going about it and that is not giving you access to the work in the first place.

As you know tha las isn’t specific to work you “own” a copy of but all work in general.

Am I obliged to give you a copy of my work because you want to use it in fair use?

Ofc not...

I had a play around with this engine and found it quite fun in itself.

Actually I would hope you are trolling. If not, you definitely need to re-evaluate your choices as this may just be one of many opportunities for fun you are actively ignoring.
Depends on if the externalities can be priced in via tort or insurance.
As mentioned in an upthread comment and the posted article, the Fed outlined concrete reasons for doubting the reliability of the indicator, including QE's suppressive effect on rates. Perhaps try understanding the article you post instead of looking cursorily at the headline and deciding it looks ridiculous.

I'm not saying the Fed is definitely doing the right thing here (and neither are they, since they don't claim to be clairvoyant), but this tendency for people to feel smart by skipping considered critique in favor of "lol this sounds unintutive so it just be dumb amirite guy" is wearisome.
That employee sparked potential controversy by bringing in gender & sexism into a thread that didn’t need it; and such a sensitive topic could lead to a huge fallout for the company. This entire argument should’ve ended with a “you are wrong” reply or simply ignoring (and potentially blocking).
But Uber has what seems to be world class Machine Learning (If that's not the heart of AI, what is?) lab. I am not well versed enough to compare it to Google's, or openAI, but is surely seems like they are at least trying to push the research envelope?
Does anything actually implement discovery? I looked at various OpenID Connect implementations a while back and nobody seemed to support it. It's a pretty big user-education problem if you can't just say "you can use OpenID Connect", but have to explain "you can use OpenID Connect, provided your provider supports Extensions X and Y, and they probably don't clearly document that they do, so please just try logging in here and see if it works".
Why is it blocked in European countries?
But not the extensions the GP cites as meaning OIDC solves the same problem. And even if they did, I don't think it allows to isolate your identity from the identity provider you currently use, which seems to be a key aspect of IndieAuth: You can delegate the role of Identity Provider to a third party, but can change that third party, similar to how you could in "original" OpenID.
EU passports aren't just handed out to Western hemisphere folk, either, without certain specific ties (e.g. Ireland will give citizenship if one has an Irish citizen parent).
So would you consider unsupervised classifiers to be AI?
Minor disagreement? This was a series of tweets related to an AMA. The other person made some perfectly civil remarks pertinent to the discussion that could have been engaged with, or could have been ignored. Instead the employee went on an ad hominem rampage, calling the commenter a "rando asshat" who was purporting to tell her how to do her job. Then she brags about her 10 years of work experience in game dev, which apparently makes her infallible. Then she made it about gender. From my third-party disinterested point of view, she was the one harassing him at this point. It makes sense to me that the company broke off their association with her after this.
The Circles interface was good though, it was even adapted in an (IMO inferior) form by Facebook. Its main issue was that it was made for Google+ that nobody wanted to use.
You need to consider what work and, more generally, what society is. Society is fundamentally a group of people working together to satisfy each others needs and wants. Work, or productivity, is making progress towards this goal and is something we tend to reward with money, though not always.

I think a fair analogy for society's productivity is a grocery store. Imagine there was a grocery store, the only grocery store in existence that also happened to be the only way to get food. Everybody would come in and take whatever they needed, but you didn't necessarily have to pay. If only some people don't pay this isn't that big a deal - the grocery store as a whole eats the losses but continues working more or less fine. And for those that simply cannot pay at all, well - there's not really any other option. But then there are those that could pay, but for whatever reason, do not. If enough people did this - the store would eventually go out of business as it would not be making enough to sustain itself. If everybody just did as they want, society would collapse.

More generally here money is an indicator of how much you've contributed to society. People look at disbelief at how much Jeff Bezos is worth, yet somehow think nothing of how much Amazon has completely revolutionized the world of purchasing things as well as brought prices to lower than ever levels. The reason he's worth as much as he is is because he has contributed immensely to society.

Of course the system isn't ideal and some people manage to make enormous amounts of money while contributing next to nothing to society - people who deal with finance are the prototypical example here. And similarly there are also people that contribute immensely to society, yet never see much in the way of reward from it. Herman Melville is now seen as one of the more important individuals in our literary history, yet received no recognition during his life and died without his work ever really being recognized, let alone rewarded.

Yet for all of its flaws, our system does generally do a good job of creating a system where people who contribute to society are rewarded which creates a strong incentive system to contribute to society, even if only to make yourself rich in the process.
No it’s not, you don’t understand the law.

Fair use (in the US) it’s a protection of the first amendment however no one is obligated to facilitate that right what it means is that the courts cannot be used to subdue your right to use the content under fair use.

I don’t have to sell you to content in the first place, I don’t have to make it available for easy copy, I mean just 40 years ago we didn’t even really had home video on VHS, was I obliged to give you a copy of the film and a telecine machine so you can make a copy?

What about paintings? Am I obligated to allow you to take a photograph? Well you better call the police on like every gallery and museum out there...

Heck live events specifically have rules against filming, go into the movies or many shows with a camera and see how receptive they’ll be to that.
Yeah I know about AGI but I dont like that term because it implies that the classifiers we have nowadays are good enough to be called "intelligence". They are just statistical models with great number of layers, nothing else.
HN does not follow all these rules but I would wager it is a better experience. For example, if every link were underlined, the page would be very cluttered visually.

OpenID Connect is a subset of the OAuth 2.0 spec. They come in a bundle.
And you just gave anyone with an agenda against your company or individual employees a perfect tool to worsen that: they'll just need to provoke "potential controversy" and you'll damage yourself and them by firing people. You told your employees that you won't back them up if the make a misstep. This seems like a surefire way of making such things worse the next time it happens, instead of presenting your company as one entity that can face problems without much drama.

People are going to make mistakes, especially in industries where it is kind of encouraged they talk to the public, companies should some some loyalty to them.

Because if a service offers to automatically tag my photos, I don’t expect random people looking at them. In fact, I don’t want anyone looking at my family photos other than those whom I explicitly gave permission to do so.

Thats precisely why reducing a complicated multi dimensional space in a single metric measuring time is completely wrong in concept.
> It should have been obvious that the legislation would also impact the Whois service, which requires anyone buying a domain name to provide their names, address and personal contact details – and then publishes it all on the internet for anyone to see.

Even using "whois privacy protection", I've always anonymized my contact information. I've used a working email address, of course, so I can manage the domain. But there's no reason to provide a physical address or telephone number. I tend to use hostels and business hotels.

Also, while this will protect those registering or obtaining domains going forward, historical data is widely available.
If you want to argue that the employee has so much responsibility that it can cause huge fallout, you better pay them a lot better.

But that's not the truth, is it? One employee's rant doesn't make company fail. No, this is just a status-reinforcing exercise of people in the company hierarchy.
He is of course getting a lot of attention and it might be one of the reasons he is doing it, but he is definitely helping and he isn't receiving money, is he? I think attention is fair price to pay to Elon for his help.
I don’t have the citation, but recall reading that the water level is only going down about a centimetre per hour. With more heavy rains on the way, CO2 levels spiking, and uncertainties about the ledge they are on, it seems they have decided they don’t have the time.
An iWeb site! I didn't end up using it much, but i still find it the most intuitive, simple and true WYSIWYG full site making tool regardless of platform. Too bad Apple discontinued it (although it still works in modern macOS, i wonder for how long though), there are some alternatives but every single one i've seen either scales down the WYISWYG part or scales up the complexity - or both.
Alternatively they could have tried to get the browser vendors to include them as an authority. That may have been hard but now that they are so large they would probably succeed.

Amazon sells nearly all of its Echo products through their own retail channel, this means they don’t pay a margin to other retailers. I can’t think of a single consumer electronics company that sells tens of millions of units directly to consumers like that.

Doesn't Apple sell far more (of its own manufacture) than Amazon, directly to consumers as well?

I actually love this about HN. It feels to me like experts who are vetting and criticizing articles for me. They often save me clicks.

Sometimes the criticism is off-base, but you can usually count on someome pointing that out just below it.

I can see why it might rub you the wrong way, but I just want to point out that it's not objectively bad for everyone. For me, it's the point of coming here.
The product is OpenAM from Forgerock, that is both open source and expensive. https://www.forgerock.com/

Gluu is just a facade company that's recompiling it from source and distributing the binaries for free.

It supports pretty much everything you can dream of, including different password hashing and you can write your own plugins to interface with anything you like.

However it's a very complicated product. It's for a large company or a country with a dedicated team to run and customize.

P.S. Not affiliated to any of these companies. I had to do the performance assessment of these products some year ago for a government contract. https://thehftguy.com/2015/10/14/iam-benchmarks-openam-vs-ws...

> but I have to publish my full address on my website according to German law.

The E-mail address does not need to be your personal address, Lufthansa uses impressum_de@lufthansa.com and I don't see a reason why this would not be acceptable.

The postal address does not need to be your personal address, a business address is fine. Well, if you are a 1 person business run from home I am not sure. Go to court and have it tested up to the constitutional court, why Carsten Spohr (CEO of Lufthansa) gets better data protection than you do.

Yes, your real name has to be on a business web site. That's obviously the price to pay to run a business. As a potential customer wasting my money on fake service or otherwise suffering from a breach of contract, I think this is a good thing.

I have the feeling they already wanted to fire the problem person but did not had a reason yet.
Frankly, this “much responsibility” shouldn’t exist in a sane world, but the issue is that in today’s world pretty much anything you say can & will be considered offensive by someone and they’re gonna try and shame your brand.

> One employee's rant doesn't make company fail

I have yet to see a case like this, but despite that all marketing & executive-level people seem to believe that, and are happy to fire people in order to save face and reiterate that this behaviour is not approved by the company.

But again, in this case I think the outcome was deserved. I’m tired of people bringing up the gender & sexism card for a simple problem of “someone is wrong on the internet”.
This was more of a general comment. I mean sure, if you couldn't have designed it any better given the technical constraints this makes sense, but just from personal experience there is always something you wish you'd have done differently in retrospect. This is why I can only assume there must have been at least one critical customer they didn't want to piss off, or it was somewhat of a proof of dedication to backwards compatibility, as in "see, even if nobody is using our product we still make the next version compatible".

Well, they are directly included in most root programs now (ISRG Root X1). The cross-signing was a bootstrapping and compatibility solution (e.g. Windows XP).

In what world does that rate a firing? Looks like it should rate at most "don't be grouchy on twitter" from a manager. Firing someone with 12 year seniority for defending them? Now that rates a firing - of the manager.

A quick skim of the linked forum shows it to be the usual whiny entitled place that is most game forums and the statement calling it "attacks on the community" is comical. Is such obsequiousness what we now expect?
