I'm still taking everything I hear about Boom with a grain of salt. Maybe they'll make an airplane and actually get someone to offer routes with it, but there are a lot of hurdles that have to be overcome first. Concorde only happened because of national pride in the UK and France. It would be so easy for these guys to finish their first planes just as oil prices spike again, assuming they ever finish those first planes.
Would this, for example, for cancer? Refusing to pay your first treatment might make access to subsequent treatments harder.
I think Zoom now has a preference for holding down space to temporarily unmute your mic. But I fully agree, push-to-talk should be absolutely mandatory for any calls with more than 2 people in them.
> none of them are really designed to handle that much complexity

Be careful what you wish for! I had used Nikola, but every release kept handling more complexity. Which meant an ever increasing number of options, but most annoyingly a large number of warnings due to config options that had changed, been obsoleted, interacted differently etc. Nikola is one of those tools that generates an initial config file for you, which exacerbates the problem since you probably don't use all the config items, and then have this option warning mess due to those items.

Yes you can install a version pinned version of the tool, but then have to do the same with all the dependencies. Before you know it, Wordpress seems easy and trivial.
The term isn't 100 % clearly defined, but generally only refers to non-profits and similar entities, not traditional companies.

> People from remote tribes who've never seen an automobile are practically scared to death when they first set foot in a city. Not being scared by cars isn't in any way the default attitude for a human to have -- quite the opposite

We shouldn't conflate the experience of seeing a big, loud automobile for the first time with the experience of driving or riding in one, which is designed to be so comfortable as to eliminate all sense of danger.
I'm pretty sure "most of the population" has at least seen advertisements for ETrade. Probably too complicated for them though. That's why they'll be working until 85 or eating cat food in retirement...

I liked how enthusiastic this article was that the airlines would outfit their planes with 2x3 seating and wider seats instead of figuring out some way to cram 3x3 seating in there.

Filing a Homestead Exemption is a good idea when you buy a home for your primary residence.

Rules and amounts vary by state, but it general, it protects you from creditors forcing you to sell your home. They may get some of the proceeds when you do eventually sell, so it may lock you into your location if you get a lien/judgement against you, but it's still better than getting kicked out.

Per usual, IANAL, consult a proper attny in your locale.
Because complexity analysis is a tiny part of a CS degree

Yes, but it's a slow-ball pitch! What's the complexity of filling in an array with its indices? If a CS grad can't solve something just a little more complex than that (for a sloppy/easy version of the question, not the shuffling algorithm expert version) then just what the heck are they learning?

It’s not a conflation of ideas. I’m simply pointing out that we’re not scared of cars, or of being in cars, because we’re accustomed to the relevant experiences. (Evolution has very little to do with it, so far as I can see.)

Similarly, once you’ve seen dancers on the subway a few times, you won’t be scared of them — if you ever were in the first place.

There is nothing inherently scary about dancers as compared to cars. Indeed, there are all sorts of good evolutionary reasons to be less scared of dancing humans than of large, heavy, fast-moving objects.
But not all fare evaders are "bad" riders. Some are just broke. I guess we could rehash all the "poverty causes so much unnecessary crime" argument but I'd rather not.

I'd like to see what happens if all the buses became free, with reasonable counter-actions taken (i.e. increased funding from city budget to offset loss of ticket costs, more buses to handle increased ridership, etc).

Rebranding is part of it. Also:

* Pipelines is a stand-alone service that can be acquired and used separately

* Pipelines can be directly acquired and configured from the GitHub marketplace

* Pipelines is effectively free to use for open source

* Pipelines free limits have been significantly increased for private projects

* Other Azure DevOps services (e.g. Boards) can now be used separately, too

> basically. It doesn't cause amazon to rise in price.

Actually, it does. Whenever a company is added to one of the major indexes, it almost always increases in price, and conversely, when one is removed, it generally declines.

This is specifically because of all of the index funds that suddenly must put money into/remove it from the stock when it is added/removed from the index.

Supply, Demand, price curves, you know the rest ...

I agree that public transport should be both more efficient and readily available, but that shouldn’t be the only focus. For people used to the amenities afforded by owning a car to adopt public transport, you also have to make using public transport a good experience. It can’t have passengers packed like sardines or be smelly and grubby and constantly late like much of America’s public transport is… many who drive instead of taking public transport do so for those exact reasons.
It is a bit of a long story, but maybe can be helpful to someone out there considering what to do with his or her life, so will write it out here:

About 2 years ago I realized that as an investor (partner at YC) I had stopped learning. I felt like what I was doing was helpful to some startups, but personally I didn't feel growth any more; being an investor felt to me like being retired. That's not to say that YC isn't hugely impactful (it is), but rather that the cadence didn't really fit my personality any longer: I wanted a shorter feedback cycle around trying something and seeing results. When you are an investor the feedback cycle between trying something (investing in a startup) and seeing results (M&A, IPO, success) can be many years.

In a chance encounter I met the author of Essentialism, which basically is a book about saying no to things. It made me really try to distill down what I liked doing on a day-to-day basis, and I came up with these 3 things: 1) learning about how tech can affect and interact with new industries, 2) trying things and seeing numbers go up as a result, 3) mentoring people over extended periods of time. I decided I wanted to do something that maximized my ability to do those three things on a daily basis.

At first I thought about raising a VC fund, but then realized that wouldn't be much different from YC. Then I thought about incubating 4 or 5 startups at once and finding someone else to be CEO of each. I realized while that would be interesting and minimize personal stress, it wouldn't maximize my growth opportunity to see even later stages of company development. Ultimately I decided the most personal growth maximizing thing to do (that would enable me to focus on the three above things) would be to just start a single company and swing for the fences (try to make it as big as possible).

At the same time, I had been fascinated by the legal innovator's paradox: the fact that there is an intrinsic disincentive to innovate when you don't capture the gains of increased productivity, which is true in an hourly billing model. I also thought lots of the things we had done at YC around building software could be applied in the legal market, and it seemed like a huge one, which incidentally I had experienced my entire career as a founder. After months of research, it seemed like a meaty enough opportunity that really solved a problem of my own, and I decided this would be my one "swing for the fences" company.

Lots of people have asked before so will repeat here: I'm 100% on Atrium now full time as CEO and not doing any other things.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm only stating that I can see how Lyft and Uber could generate more traffic due to convenience.
+1 great example. I only worked in Singapore for a few weeks, but really loved the place, how it is run, lack of obvious homelessness or extreme poverty (so different than parts of SF, Chicago, NYC, etc.)
Here's a concrete example: how does someone ask a peer to do something for them? There are a bunch of different ways this can be done, and only a small percentage of them fall into 'asshole' territory, but if you ask ten people to define the 'asshole boundary', you will get ten different responses.
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey still sets a high bar. The scene right before intermission where HAL is reading the astronauts lips in the pod is still quite terrifying.

And early 1980s War Games holds up as a terrific thriller. Depiction of fictional AI pioneer Professor Falken is very realist in its treatment.
Andy Weir and Daniel Suarez have a habit of using things in their books that you see on the news as new technology two weeks or months later. It's a little scary sometimes to see one of Suarez' thrillers show up in real life, and it takes me a bit to adjust to it being real without the dystopia.

Congestion taxes seem like such a lazy cop out to me - instead of working towards improving infrastructure to support more people getting around the way they want or make car commuters naturally want to choose transit instead, just beat them with the tax stick until they go away? We can do better.
Well, Anarchism has been pretty successfully demonized, misinterpreted and put into the "evil" bin with every other -ism except for capitalism. Kind of hard to organize when you're whole philosophy is allergic to hierarchical structures. When Noam Chomsky is your most famous public personality it's hard to build a broad and passionate following.

I don't see it getting anything like mainstream traction ever, as it's a lifestyle as much as it is a philosophy. I also don't think it's how people naturally behave. People seem to like to be ruled, so long as they have just enough freedom.
Or you make healthcare and education free-or-nearly-so and set up fantastic social welfare safety nets. Look at swaths of Europe, Taiwan, etc.

Kind of hard to fine someone that doesn't have the money to pay for it. Kind of hard to put a person in jail when the jail is already full of kids with marijuana sentences.

I don't think this "Singapore Solution" would work in the USA.
Imagine criticizing coffee shops as a whole because you got bad coffee at a starbucks. Is there something inherent to unions that make them generally bad?

BTW, the issues with the NY subway have little to do with the TWU and more to do with mismanagement by Cuomo.
But saying, "We think you're too old to be a good culture fit" is illegal while saying, "You're not a good culture fit" isn't. That's likely why companies don't say so directly, no?

can you imagine, riding transit with the filthy peasantry?
I'd be interested in reading more studies about this, but anecdotally I feel like this has to be true. I live next door to a large house with 8 college students, and two have them claimed to have ~never~ taken public transit in the city since living here, not ever (they've been here over a year now). When they have a party you can easily count a dozen Ubers rolling up, no one's walking to the train station anymore.

We're one of the most expensive cities in the country, and our public transit system is pretty decent. I commuted using it exclusively for over 10 years.

5 years ago it would be insane to hear a college student say they've never taken a train here. Maybe it's the combination of low Uber prices and high housing expenses? I feel like the local student population has been becoming wealthier (because they have to come from richer families to afford housing)... and Uber pool pricing is generally within $1-2 of a non-discounted trip on a train.
Awesome, thanks.

I'm not actually using WebRTC (or GUN) yet, but I hope to for a project relatively soon and the possibility of not requiring a STUN/ICE server is very enticing to me.

Wouldn't the sheer overlap of sounds of people mashing on their keyboards drive you insane? I'm usually fine with voice activation in a smaller group (like maybe 5 people) but once you get up to 25 people, I feel like the background noise could seriously overpower some really important callouts that one might need to hear (in the context of something like Mythic raiding).
>> set rules for society and harshly punish people who break them

That's the opposite direction of where the SF Bay Area is going. The San Francisco District Attorney, for e.g., has been at loggerheads withe police department because the former has been eager to let even violent criminals go scott free.

Of course, you add the rampant social justice warriors in the area and you get accused of racism for arresting 11-time felons (e.g https://stopcrimesf.com/blog/2018/8/10/second-chances-how-ab...

"Because the differences are small. Insignificant"

Some differences, like IQ between whites and blacks in America, can be one or more standard deviations.
> Obviously, screening for specific personality traits has not kept Bridgewater or Stripe from succeeding. Uber, however, might be a different story. I am going to argue that personality trait screening may have harmed Uber.

I agree there has been turmoil that has been detrimental to uber. But maybe the fact they specifically looked for hard core, "won't take no for an answer" is the reason they reached massive market / valuation they did. Lyft choose the "friendly" route and didn't get anything close to Uber size/valuation.

I'm not saying this is the best strategy/ always works, but you are saying you consider stripe successful basically because they have not had turmoil/bad press, despite the fact they are a fraction of the value of Uber.

Tldr: you probably NEED aggressive, won't take no, type of ppl to grow to a Uber size as quickly as they did.

Some of Beethoven’s later piano sonatas get in pretty deep, too. I wonder who influenced whom. Also the article reminds us that when younger, Beethoven was a proficient violist. Bach, too, tripled on piano and multiple string instruments as long as he was alive.
the idea that you can get sick one time and be financially ruined is still astonishing to me.

FWIW I'm not aware of many people who come down with a cold and are financially ruined. The people I know who are in crippling medical debt have, for example, had both kidneys replaced. While I'm not happy they are in those circumstances, it's not hard to picture two replacement kidneys and all the other treatments involved as mind-bendingly expensive.

It seems worthwhile to distinguish, at least a little bit, severity when we are talking about this.
This is why people used to move to the suburbs.
Statistically, you can't have that. No matter what you want, a sufficiently motivated conman will be able to find the dumbest person, for instance by the methodology used by Nigerian-prince scammers: put out bait that's bad, to pre-screen for people dumb enough to be that kind of deluded.

Then you can say 'oh, that scam was so obvious that people ought to have seen through it!' but it was explicitly designed to be obvious because, statistically, THERE WILL be someone (perhaps a nice but foolish someone!) who does fall for it.

Therefore, you can't have an informed public. Ever. It's a matter of how you handle the edge cases. We don't have rules making things like murder, etc. bad just because MOST people don't deserve to be straight-up murdered. We have them because it needs not to be too tempting to murder in those cases where the guy REALLY deserved it… it's inhibiting the potential murderer on general principles, not making value judgements on why to protect extremely deserving victims.

This is not the case in the financial industry, and the consequences we pay for that might be pretty dire. In the financial industry they think they can say things like 'I want an informed public', and they think they can make entire business models on screwing deserving victims, and it's not really about the victims, it's about social pressure stopping people from being monstrous on general principles. And again, nothing at all stops bankers from being monstrous. Indeed, it's a survival characteristic: we select for that.
I don't see anyone here arguing for banning motor vehicles. But they should pay more to use the road than the pennies they pay now. Groceries could get cheaper, since the trucks would not be stuck in traffic as much.

Yeah. Passengers pick tickets based on sticker price, often/usually through price search engines. Connections and travel time are also factors.

Baggage isn't. Leg-room isn't. Food isn't. Even "the most convenient airport" is often not important to passengers' purchasing decisions.

It's hard to blame the airlines when they're just responding to incentives the passengers are giving them. And tickets are cheap, right? Can't complain too much about price competition, and I don't think you should really complain at all about a la carte pricing. It's the fairest way to do things (and it's what we all ask of our cable companies -- "I don't want to pay for sports/luggage, just give me HBO/beer!")
For what it's worth, the article also links to a study with the same conclusion out of UC Davis.
