> in the $10-30 million range you can live a comfortable life without having to worry about finances again

This statement strikes me as very disconnected from the reality that the vast majority of people on this planet live in, and honestly, a little bit irritating. I'm well aware that many here on HN would be millionaires, but as somebody who grew up in poverty and is now a full-time uni student with no savings in the bank, and no safety net, I wouldn't describe my life as comfortable, but I'm not starving or sleeping on a park bench either. My largest expenses are rent, food and medical expenses. If somebody were to give me a hundred thousand dollars to invest, I am quite certain I could live comfortably for the rest of my life. I'd never own a Ferrari, but why would I need to?

In other words, I think your comment reflects the very problem that the posted article is discussing. To me, the idea of needing $10 million to be comfortable and not have to worry about finances seems absurd. Unless your idea of a comfortable life involves owning a luxury car, or renting a $2,000 a night suite. I live on what many here would consider to be an extremely low income, and the only thing I feel I'm really missing out on is desperately needed dental work, and even that would be measured in thousands of dollars, not millions.

I apologise if my comment sounds harsh or impolite. It is not intended to be. I'm just amazed that anybody would think they need $10 million to be comfortable.
How to Prevent DLL Hijacking Attacks
That's how agile should be done. You should plan out the things that you are doing short-term in more detail and the things you are doing long-term in less detail because you don't know as much about it and it is more likely to change.

Deskilling has been brutal in the airline industry. Replacing that good, experienced, union-paid gate agent with a outsourcing-thrice-removed permatemp worker has brought costs down considerably. Making the systems easier to use has been crucial in enabling that.
Can't help but wonder why they didn't pick JSON. :)
Most, but not all of the time. There are dead segments in pretty much any system be it overhead or third rail.

In which case you can assume the cars on those segments are pretty much right where you left them, no? I'm assuming the name of the game is to optimize speed and spacing of cars on active segments.

Or do you mean the cars are basically coasting between segments under flywheel or battery power? Seems like dead reckoning is all that's needed to fill in those gaps. Maybe with a basic anticollision radar as a failsafe. :)

Nope. See Bill Wattenburg's demonstration with BART

I'm not familiar with him, and Google isn't helping much. Any good references?

It's a bit like automated driving.

Except there's no steering wheel, no pedestrians or cyclists, no weather or visibility problems, no uncontrolled vehicle traffic, and every bit of infrastructure is under your control at all times.

Hence my use of 'trivial' to describe the problem. Compared to what the folks at Waymo or Cruise have to deal with, the MTA and its contractors have no excuses whatsoever.

What’s humorous is when there are people who wear watches as a fashion accessory that can’t even read the time on them, so pull out their phone to check the time anyway.
Yes, I get that.

But I am curious about what shows up in their log.

I'd love to send "fuck no", but have no clue how one might do that. And I'm guessing that "yes" is the only possible value.

Does fusion still have much of a role now that renewables are increasingly competetive? We can pretty much already harness infinite energy for all our needs from an already working fusion generator our planet happens to orbit around.
A watch is practical anywhere you can't use your phone. Any water sports or even being caught out in the rain comes to mind.

You’re criticizing the author for not making the ebook freely available? You only buy books for which you can obtain the ebook for free? I’m lost.
Most people reading this article will miss the point. Many will conflate what the right way of doing things is. However, the main point is that JIRA makes the things that you should do, harder while at the same time, making the things you shouldn't do easier.
Nice map work.
Have you given Erlang a look? What it calls processes sound like what you call fibers; although it does have quasi-premptive yielding as well as yielding when waiting for a message. Since Erlang is built on async message passing, you can easily send a request and block on the response, but you can also send multiple requests and process the responses as they arrive.

Depends on who else needs visibility. I definitely agree developers shouldn't be micromanaged, but IMO there is no such thing as an "80% done" ticket - it's either done or it's not. So things may need to be broken down a little more than a particular developer would want so that other team members (e.g. QA, design, management, etc.) can pick up their own tasks if they are dependent.
Statistically, it is very insignificant.

In my visits of a few years back, Kathmandu was a horribly sad mess of huge injections of foreign money that creates imbalance, open prostitution, drug use, aggression and general steamrolling of original culture. It was quite sad to see, and I was very happy to move on.

With that said, western Nepal, given its lack of road borders, is quite sublime and relatively untouched.

Why do so many people on Hacker News hate Quora so much?
Time makes a lot more sense than stops: for example, at Columbus Circle in NYC, a downtown A train that's one stop away is about 3.5 miles out. A downtown 1 train that's one stop away is less than a half mile out. Except if the downtown A train is running local, in which case it's then about a half mile out.

Time, on the other hand, can be meaningfully displayed to a rider no matter what information they already know. (It's also fairly accurate in practice in my experience.)
I’m not frequently involved in hiring, but when I’m looking at a resume for a potential coworker I will check their github. If it’s shit, that doesn’t matter at all to me, but if it has some neat stuff I will look deeper, and the bar for “interview” and “hire” can be substantially lowered for the in-person interview.

Basically, I’m looking for good signal, but that can show in a lot of different ways for different people. If OSS or side project or whatever is something you enjoy doing, or if you’re not working full time and struggling to prove that you can bring the goods, these sorts of things can help you.
Joke's on you. That widget never gets logged. It's a placebo.

More likely, duration of stay, IP and cookies cross-referenced from other sources are the only things they look at.

Instead of recording your response as to whether you enjoy getting kneecapped, they just let you scream into a sound-proofed vacuum. But hey, at least you're not bound and gagged.
It's accurate as long as trains are moving. As soon as they are stalled, that time stops reflecting the real one. So showing the distance at least gives a more appropriate info, instead of showing "5 min" for 15 minutes (which is annoying).
NACHA (the U.S. body that governs ACH transactions) just started supporting international ACH transactions over the summer I believe. An ACH transaction typically costs the consumer between $0-5 (depending on how quickly they want it sent) compared to a wire transfer that could be $50 or more.

they're doing so so that their same investors who have investments in these garbage tokens, can off load them - and leave retail people holding those bags full of non-sense.

Ethereum and 1000 other coins have simply created too much hype first and then bad reputation for the original cryptocurrency i.e. Bitcoin. There are people who think Ethereum is Bitcoin 2.0 but they don't understand that Bitcoin is built with the strongest fundamentals.

First of before making guesses, if you really want to know about this industry - try the applications, try to play with it (even if you put $10) - run full nodes, try wallets, try sending transactions. Trust me it is fun and you understand the basics then.

Secondly, separate out the financial markets side from the technology and it's potential itself. Even gold use-case initiated at some point in history. Not everyone started thinking of gold as store of value, so initially it price must have fluctuated quite a bit as well.

Third, try to understand how Bitcoin actually works - what is proof of work and why it is such an innovative idea to implement a decentralized network. I mean this is a very large network with almost 100% uptime, close to 10 years of history, storing Billions of dollars of worth of value and that people have moved 100s of millions of dollars worth Bitcoin with very little tx cost and time. I mean this alone requires a lot of credit as technology - no one needs an affirmation from someone like Jamie Dimon to know it is valuable or not - he doesn't know, no one does at this point. Statistically speaking, most experiments fail so it is a risk-averse position for someone in that position to say it will fail IMO. But opinions don't matter.
Rome was not built in a day. Even the central banks and modern banks were not built in a day.
Whatever these cryptocurrencies can replace or improve, let them take their due course or even if they fail.
People are too much stuck on the financial market side of it, it is important to bootstrap it and take it mainstream but what happened in 2017 was a unsustainable and hack-ish way of bringing hype to this industry.

What? Don't use Quora because it's Quora, not because of lack of APIs. Anyone can answer any question about anything. Like Reddit, Imgur, Wikipedia, this crowd sourcing of information leads to constant liquid garbage. People like to teach what they don't know and speak about nothing just to speak.
Marriott’s breach response is so bad, security experts are filling in the gaps
SE has a very strict notion of having the "correct answer" to each question which is enforced in all communities except some (Interpersonal SE and "soft questions" come to mind). Even in those contexts, answers must be well cited and be credible in a certain way (e.g. in Interpersonal SE all answers must be grounded by personal experiences). This makes it a fundamentally different website than Quora. Quora is about expertise, opinion and anecdotes. SE is about facts and answers deemed credible enough by the community.
> Or do you mean the cars are basically coasting between segments under flywheel or battery power? Seems like dead reckoning is all that's needed to fill in those gaps. Maybe with a basic anticollision radar as a failsafe. :)

Assuming that the train hasn't failed, sped up, derailed, or found another reason to go into an emergency stop. You could make all sorts of assumptions but people typically like their train control systems to fail safe.

> I'm not familiar with him, and Google isn't helping much. Any good references?

Literally the first thing that comes up for "bill wattenburg bart" sums up the experiment pretty well.

> Except there's no steering wheel

True.

> no pedestrians or cyclists

On a subway? Jumpers or aggressors. On at-grade systems? Cars, bicyclists, pedestrians, wildlife, you name it you'll see it on the tracks.

> no weather or visibility problems

Weather is a huge issue for BART even underground, and I'd assume that goes more for the New York MTA. Weather is less of an issue now for Muni, but some of the equipment used to mitigate the weather routinely damages the train control equipment. If you're expanding your scope to longer distance rail traffic, look up what British Rail called "the wrong kind of snow".

> no uncontrolled vehicle traffic

You'd be surprised what a drunk driver is capable of.

> and every bit of infrastructure is under your control at all times.

Ideally. New York is an interesting mishmash of territorial pissing though. See also: Penn Station.
> Everything you base your comment on is a huge assumption.

No, it's a huge assumption to create the "free will" theory with no evidence and then argue against the opposite position where I'm using what is observable in nature with science. It's like religious people that argue against people that don't believe in a god.

> but I can definitely say that you’re putting a lot of belief in it being true without any real evidence

No you can't, physics, neuroscience, computer science, and mathematics all favor determinism. If you chime out quantum mechanics, go search my comment history.

> Taking your thought process and building off the idea that everything is deterministic, we can frame the concept of “free will” as something that’s defined within that image of reality.

Yah if you acknowledge you're a puppet by external forces and love your strings. Your freedom is love for how your controlled because it fits you and how you have no real control yourself but are fine with it. Yet, I myself don't consider that definition of free will what most people think and to me it just doesn't exist because that definition would be nonsense.

> Additionally, why should you show sympathy to those in worse situations if everything is deterministic?

Humanity makes progress when removing illusions from society and being rational. Society shouldn't be punishing persons who were unfortunate by the universe. Society should fix the problem of what resulted in a person having an undesired outcome and then rehabilitating the person back into society. Same goes for social, health, and financial problems.

> If society feels a need to punish criminals and remove them from society that’s another deterministic outcome that you yourself should know makes no difference either way in the grand scheme of things.

Yah, whatever happens is destined to happen and similar to how society once viewed the world as flat and until some persons came along to get the idiotic majority to understand. Time brings progress or the opposite and it's all fated to happen. I hope you're not trying to make an argument against understanding reality by the mere premise of you would dislike how it really is.

> If society feels a need to punish criminals and remove them from society that’s another deterministic outcome that you yourself should know makes no difference either way in the grand scheme of things.

See above.

> Why someone would be deterministically wired to counter an argument by using their belief of a deterministic world on HN is beyond me though.

Short answer: Go study determinism.

I feel too many independents have been tricked into thinking direct sales is too dangerous or too hard.

Only 70 years ago, South Korea was a dirt-poor agricultural country whose major export items were rice, seaweed, and the likes.

Before that it was a Japanese colony, and before that it was a die-hard confucian kingdom that would out-Confucius contemporary China.

Old moralities die hard. (Think of how racism persists in the US, 150+ years after the Civil War.) It didn't help that we imported right-wing American Christian ideology wholesale after the Korean War. :/

I have seen my paid Unity plugin pop up on torrent sites like kickasstorrents, x1337x.ws, etc. It didn't affect my feelings towards piracy at all. Throughout my life, myself and the people I've been surrounded with, have always been too young to pay for content in the first place, or mixed piracy with various forms of contributions (word of mouth, online discussions, previously/later paid, bundled into subscription services, or consumed in other legal manners.. the work I pirated and never contributed to (other than momentarily increasing the seed count) is work that I would've never paid for in the first place). I think people blame piracy because they don't understand the benefits, or because it's so easy to blame piracy as opposed to admitting shortcomings with regard to the quality of the work and/or poor marketing.
The “back” function seem broken on mobile. Also, it’s not a fun learning experience if you don’t get the correct answer when you get something wrong.

A very good thing is that most websites use external javascript to implement the most annoying "features" like asking for consent, tracking, autoplay and diverse pop-up junk.

I don't know what it is about the idea of the far future that makes people so willing to throw out fundamental physical laws. The relevant point here would be that there are fundamental limits to heat transfer, and a finite amount of work which can be done on Earth-as-we-know-it for a given unit of time, irrespective of the energy source. An "unlimited" source of energy would be in practice limited by its heat output.
