What do you mean by "personal cash services"?

A new-ish bank like Monzo mentioned above still allows you to withdraw cash like any other bank. You can't yet pay it into the account, but my understanding is that this will be provided pretty soon (based on their public roadmap https://trello.com/c/k2zy6WyU/98-cash-deposits-)

Cash is important, but I don't think it's going away any time soon.
I live and work in Manhattan and there's on-street parking everywhere. Most streets are easily wide enough for two travel lanes plus a bike lane, but instead have one or two rows of parked cars. It's quite common for streets to have two parking lanes, one travel lane, and no bike lanes.

Just pull up satellite imagery on Google Maps and it'll all be obvious.
Midtown, the village, Brooklyn, Queens... Where are you taking them from?
Is it insane to use an unapproved device? Yes.

But what's MORE insane is the number of people dying from insulin management problems with diabetes.

This is the equivalent of someone who invented a Do-It-Yourself Seat Belt, and was installing them in cars back in 1940. Sure I'd rather have a factory approved seat belt, but the DIY solution is helping a lot more than hurting.

Everyone talks about the 'collecting' of customer data.

Like simply collecting and holding that data is somehow wrong.

Apple doesn't collect the same customer data that Google does, but even if they did, it's much much more important to talk about how that data is used.

Google are an advertising company. It's in their best interest to use that data to INFLUENCE you to the whims of the highest bidder.

Google are running a platform whereby they sell their brainwashing services to anyone willing to pay. That's not an exaggeration.
C++ have a lot of nice stuff now, but anyway soon or later need to take from the old mess. If I wanna suffer, I prefer something with a more consistence...
Depends on the size of the file. If you're below 4 KB, the main competing system is databases, probably cassandra or DynamoDB for scaling/availability. You should also look into redis/memcache to provide the caching/buffering.

Beyond that, S3 is pretty good and it surely makes sense to model the content as files rather than blob.

We use IQAir machines, too, but buy third party filters from HEPAAirDirect.com as they're cheaper than the originals, and seem very well made. And their pre-filter comes with a removable coarse dust filter.

If you are good in one mainstream language you will be good in any of them. And by good I mean, can you think about a complex problem and implement an algorithm to solve it. Don't listen to the haters that say Microsoft tech users must have no curiosity or other such nonsense. Like you think there aren't people working at Microsoft solving crazy problems at scale and that other companies aren't drooling over them?
Interesting enough, i just came across a project that is working on this using the blockchain http://185.25.51.16/papers/VerusVision.pdf
I talk to (about) a person a week who wants to create a new US bank. Some are pursuing a de novo charter, some are buying a bank, and some are a quasi bank on top of another bank.

The real blocker here is the Fed won't grant new charters and often won't transfer charters. I'm hoping this will change in the next few years and we can get some real competition.

(Disclosure: my job is making APIs for US Banks.)
Nobody goes into business for fun. Enjoy what you do, but remember that turning a profit is the goal. Have strong principles, and never sacrifice them: but remember that your primary mission in business is to turn a profit.
Oh I agree. I think it will never happen. But as a data point, Facebook has the option to add it: https://www.facebook.com/notes/protect-the-graph/securing-em...

So, it's not too far fetched.
Can you really put peripheral knowledge and technologies aside when all you know are pretty much garbage collected scripting languages? This is a very isolated and safe world to live in.
Julia was designed initially with a strong focus on numerical tasks, but over the years, especially because of the focus on flexibility, Julia has very much become an excellent general purpose programming language.

The one domain I’d say it’s not suited for is embedded systems where you have very tight memory restrictions but I expect that to improve soon as well.
Airport trips are relatively easy, as long as you're in normal operating hours. Drivers don't want to go places where it's hard to get a return trip. JFK has plenty of passengers both ways.
A lot of actual crimes occurred then that were not prosecuted. Sarbanes-Oxley violations, for one obvious example.
"extremely rare". :) not non-existent.

Mr. Sumney is, I'm sorry to say, not dramatically variant in the indie folk sonic system. I would say that it is a somewhat more electric orchestration of someone like Jesca Hoop; the sonic textures are similar. I don't care for falsetto - tastewise - I've run into a few other groups that are similar sonically over the past half decade besides Ms. Hoop.

It's plausible Mr. Sumney will evolve for a time and be substantially different - Doomed from that video presents the possibility unambiguously - but musically I would locate him in the indie-folk sound, with a different instrumentation and more electric usage.
Migration has a cost. Many small vendors have razor-thin margins.
Uber and Lyft operated 100% legally in NYC from their inception. The NYC ride-sharing market is not like other US cities, which allow peer-to-peer ridesharing. All rideshare drivers in NYC are licensed by the TLC, and Uber and Lyft are licensed TLC operators.

Uber and Lyft beat NYC taxis fair and square - they used the existing TLC regulations (with the overhead required) and won out because of being a better product.
More cyclists need to die.

Unfortunately I'm not joking -- a lot of the protected bike lanes we've gotten recently have been along stretches where cyclists (sometimesore than one) have died. That's what it takes to override the nimbyists in the local Community Boards.

But for a less morbid suggestion, you should join Transportation Alternatives (and its mailing lists!) and go to the Community Board meetings they send notices about where bike lanes will be debated. Every voice in favor helps. I've spoken at a bunch of em.
ScottPJones uses it for string processing, and I have seen him comment on hackernews a few times. He's a big advocate for using it for things other than crunching numbers.

For scripts, the JIT overhead has gotten a lot better, and I think it will continue to improve. The strategy is saving more so that it doesn't have to get recompiled on launch.
That currently doesn't happen for packages. Which means while R and Python run much slower, they feel much snappier -- and will be much faster if you're just running a bunch of short scripts that wont amortize compilation.
So in the short term, I wouldn't use Julia for speed.

Multiple dispatch and powerful meta-programming are two other major highlights.
Multiple dispatch can make for much simpler, cleaner looking syntax, while often making it easier to remember too -- you only need one name per concept.
I briefly compared explicit SIMD vectorization in Julia and C here:
https://bayeswatch.org/2018/08/08/matrix-multiplication-kern...
were I to change the vector size, all that'd take in Julia is changing the number of elements, and it'll dispatch correctly. In C...
I don't have too much experience with object oriented programming which gives single dispatch, but I like the separation of functions from objects, and freedom of dispatching on any/all of the arguments.

If metaprogramming appeals to you, Julia makes that really easy compared to many other languages, with things like the `@eval` macro or `@generated` functions.
Any sort of repetitive pattern that isn't easily expressed in array operations can probably be handled pretty simply with metaprogramming. I gave an example of `@generated` in the blog post with matrix multiplication kernels, and a great example of `@eval` is: https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ForwardDiff.jl/blob/master/src/...

In that link, ForwardDiff defines a gazillion function overloads for dual numbers for automatic differentiation.

Being an interactive language, plus the helpful macro `@macroexpand`, can make it easy to explore and figure out what's going on if you like playing with that sort of stuff.

I've heard loads of great things about Rust, too. Hope this helps decide if its worth looking at.
My examples were all still analysis-focused, but that's my experience.
He was mad because the dispatcher didn’t do his job and give the guy a shorty ticket like he’s supposed to.
> Oh I have no hopes for the US

That sounds like a value judgement. What difference does it make?
Seeing how much Facebook has been spending on advertising and PR in recent weeks, I would not be surprised.
Why do researchers trust sending a proposal to these places?
That headline is an interesting choice of phrase. Are we expecting big tech corporations to almost literally be superheroes or villains?

It does seem like many people expect them to fight for justice. Protect the innocents. Maybe not punch the bad guys, but at least banish them.

This is not what corporate PR is usually going for. But suppose someone decided, heck yeah, we're going to be a virtual superhero, and just ran with that?
Nevertheless, they are not synonyms, and the existence of these two different words suggests that there is a useful distinction, even if it is not sharp, and even if it is not always applied consistently.

In the case of 'Chicagoese', whatever it is, it is clearly the English language.
So your pricing is aligned with the storage cost. But youre explicitely not pricing in write throughput/IO access, deletes, or similar caused by lifecycle events? How does that square with long term trends to greatly increase density while IO remains flat for the past decade?
NYC traffic mitigation solutions are generally backwards or working from bad information.

Allowing electric bicycles and push scooters solves the last mile problem for many people.

The argument the city has made is that electric bicycles are too dangerous and will cause injury to pedestrians. This is a bad faith argument, because it's already illegal to cycle on the sidewalk, and if the city actually cared about non driver safety, it would push to enforce bicycle lane safety. It also failed to provide sufficient, to me, evidence that electric bicycles and push scooters pose a threat to pedestrians.

If better transit options existed, including last mile (push scooter) and ~3mile solutions (electric rentable bicycles), perhaps people wouldn't Uber as much.
Hah! Olin Shivers. He wrote one of the funniest acknowledgements. Enjoy:

https://scsh.net/docu/html/man.html
And maybe this is the reason. Not that it should matter... But why then should I care? Why should I have to deal with the problem? I tell you what, I've never had this happen in the hundreds of Uber and Lyft rides I've taken this year or the thousands in the years before.
So... Okay there's a reason. But that reason still demonstrates why one would prefer rideshare over taxi.
I've spent a fair amount of time studying econometrics. Is there a fundamental difference between that and causal models?
This does not seem to jive with the parent comment to whom I was originally replying though:

"Ubers don't want to go to the airport for the same reason that cabs don't."
Just curious, why did you migrate from Flex to Standard? Only for the 10X price/performance boost for infrequently accessed services?

PS: Regarding automagically handling spikes I have a warning that might be useful for you.
The way AE load balancer works is that it:

0. A request comes.

1. AE checks for available instance. If none available:

2. Spins up new instance.

3. !!! Assigns the request to that instance.

4. Waits for /_ah/warmup to finish.

5. Adds that instance to its serving pool so other requests may be routed there as well.

Note that step 4 is after step 3, so at least one request will wait for /_ah/warmup. So occasionally you will see requests with high latency (if your warmup is slow, of course). Our latency requirements were quite high, so we ended up switching to manual scaling and heavily over-provision to handle spikes. That costed us good money, though.

Just fucking great :)
The most important feature of a paper ballot is that the general populace can read them, and understand how they work. The worst feature of any electronic-only voting system is that the general populace cannot verify that they work. This is a bad thing even in the case where no hacking occurred, since it reduces trust in the validity of the outcome by anyone who dislikes the result.
SCP and SFTP (SSH derivatives) are designed to run shell commands on a remote host. It's not what you want to give to customers as a file transfer method, especially not in a shared environment.
I'm pretty sure you know that I was referring to the period of time from a couple hundred years ago until now, 2018, when I said "the modern era." Let's not delve into semantic fuckery.

And yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Figuring out the motion of the moon can be done by a single person using nothing but dedicated observation and arithmetic. Figuring out the public health effects of chronic low-level exposure to toxins requires statistical techniques and data-gathering infrastructure that didn't exist until at least the 18th century, and wasn't commonly applied until the 20th century.

The concept of long-term health effects due to exposure to stuff has been around forever, but the ability to conclusively prove it is a lot more recent.
>rather than filling it with discussion about whether these experiences are valid or not

I don't follow. Nobody in this entire post is questioning whether any experience is valid.

The only real question is if an "LGBT friendly" company is nondiscrimatory (for which "Nobody cares" is the gold standard, as long as it's true), or if it has to do more than that (whatever that is)
I fully admit that 301s / 308s have problems in practice that means they need to be treated very carefully, but in theory they could be utilized here and you wouldn't need to do 6 requests, only 4.

Though I really don't get what all this jerking off is about. I use B2. It took me like 2 fucking minutes to get working. It's ridiculously simple. My concern is more that they'll be acquired by some shitty company and I'll have to migrate off of them. It's not how long it takes me to setup an API.
Backblaze's technology is not that revolutionary. AWS is an order of magnitude more expensive because they want to, not because they need to be.
AMP was one of the reasons that made me fully embrace Firefox mobile on Android. I've almost forgotten about AMP since, as its only supported on blink browsers and you automatically get redirected to the real site even when following an amp link. Not sure about non browser search though, i dont use that.
Then have the banks fund it out of the savings from reduced stolen card fraud.
They have a link icon in the header. Click it then click the url that appears.
Agree! I am an app developer, and I like to think about how to make app developers jobs (and onboarding) easier, and the next thing I will write on that vein I think, already decided with the idea and design mostly formulated, will be a Chrome extension (for Pivotal Tracker users that also connect Bitbucket to a CI, to aid in merge request management)

This example is great, as it is open source and supports Firefox too. Maybe I'll do both browsers as well! This HN friends extension does most if not all of the primitive things that I will need to do, so I'm being sincere and I think it's a great publish.
I want a paper trail and an id. I don't see why we cannot have both as each camp has reasons for it piece of the puzzle. proof of residence is just as important as the paper trail.

but what good is a paper trail that does not include a code that can be scanned to verify it was actually accounted for?
>In the study, average annual exposures to PM2.5 were well within UK guidelines (25µg per cubic metre), although they were approaching or past World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines (10µg per cubic metre).

What AQI do these numbers translate to?
I don't know about ranking, but they do put them at the top of the page. And when you use google with JS enabled all AMP results will be pre-loaded in the background.

AMP pages aren't faster. They just feel faster when you go through google search and the hidden background pre-load.
I really question this "inline all CSS". Consider:

- 1K of HTML with 40K of CSS in a file with a long term cache. Clicking a different page on the site downloads another 1K of HTML.

- A 41K file with everything inlined. Clicking a link downloads another 41K.
> Name the last time an actual elevator crashed.

They do it like every day, if, as is the case for software, you use “crash” to mean “experience a sudden and complete cessation of operation.”

They also do crash in the rather more extreme physical sense occasionally, e.g., https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/3-injured-in-elev...
> As someone who has lived in New York for the past ten years, the entrance of Uber hasn't changed my life at all

As someone who has lived in NYC for longer, I find your experience atypical. Do you take taxi/ride-hail trips outside of Manhattan? Are you a person of color? If either of those are true, your transportation experience has been fundamentally changed by the existence of Uber/Lyft.

And I'm sorry, but any favorable comparison of the cleanliness of an NYC yellow cab to an NYC Uber is laughable. The cleanest, best-smelling NYC yellow cab I've taken was worse than the dirtiest NYC Uber I've ever taken.
Even better: hide it in a generic looking USB cable

After we have a formal understanding of exactly which invariants unsafe Rust code may rely on and must preserve, we may be able to integrate a proof assistant into Rust to allow all that functionality and more to be exposed safely—we could replace unsafe {} blocks with automatically checked proof annotations! That’s a dream for the far future, but Ralf’s work is an important step toward making that possible.
More countries can manufacture it than can develop it. The manufacturing gets driven down to low margins. Developing is therefore the root of the economy, rather than manufacturing.
The issue is really who gets eaten. While the lender, or whoever ends up holding the loan, might get burned, it is very unusual for the borrower of a predatory loan to end up better off for it.
My electric stove shoots my AQI through the roof when frying. Made me consider alternate ways to cook.

Though, would like to know if gas is worse, as one alternative I was considering was Donabe, which requires gas.

That's part of the motivation for developing a new Ethereum client, in Nim. The theory is that the executables produced can be more readily tuned according to various device profiles, e.g. desktop clients, mobile clients, beefy server clients, and so on.

Which challenges? As far as I can see, LLVM is essentially C in SSA syntax; what semantic differences have you come across?
The general populace can't really verify the results of paper ballots either, that would mean letting anyone who wanted to do their own manual counts of all ballots.
The thing that really bothers me about this is that there's zero reason for something like a voting machine to not have at least a minimal paper trail and proper air gapping. Municipal townships should not be putting anything online without hiring a professional company that's actually required to maintain standards (such as bill pay). Since most poll workers are volunteers, there's zero way that this is possible. Using magnetic cards that aren't good enough for financial transactions doensn't pass muster. Voting should be at least if not more secure than financial transactions.

The problem with Pearl is that, while his tools seem pristine, the way he tries to convince applied statisticians (econometricians foremost, but others too) to use them is very childishly argumentative.

The best way to have those tools gain popularity with that crow is IMO to find a very cool application and publicize the hell out of it (like alexnet propelled deepnets from obscurity)
The counter-argument to that is that the public benefit vs. compensation aspect is massively biased: http://cityobservatory.org/e-scooters-and-paying-for-roads/

I'm really not a fan of companies flouting the law, but Atlanta complaining about bad use of space by vehicles is like Trump complaining about the lack of fact-checkers in journalism. If you're going to make regulations, there should be some semblance of equitable treatment for all involved.
They literally made a deal to spy on Chinese citizens as soon as that made them profit. Did you deliberately forget to mention that?
Huh, does MIRI mean that rust is actually doing some form of partial evaluation during compilation? What's the best way to learn more about that?
Walls? When I jump over the 1 inch high wall and visit random sites, I'm risking getting spammed with modal popups and tracked and other shit. Yes I should use some script blocker, but they're too much effort to setup to avoid breaking things I need.

This is why I prefer to remain on a set of few trusted sites.
Google's goal is to not increase your conversion rate; it's for users to go back to the search results and click on an ad.

I work extensively in SEO and have never recommended AMP for this reason.
