Wow that is shocking. Had no idea. Warhol is a legend and devout catholic is the last thing most people would have imagined him to be. Isn't it amazing how sometimes the image portrayed by the media, news and even the artist himself is the polar opposite to reality. If you took a survey, I wouldn't be surprised if 9 out of 10 people said they though warhol was atheist.

ETA: Nobody twisted Millenials' arms to take on debt, though. My niece went to freaking Vassar and is now a florist. Waste of money. Same holds true everywhere I look--a nephew is a college Freshman this year. I told him to just go become and electrician. He's going to take a course that is a "Survey of European Soccer" which is just an excuse to go abroad and drink for a semester. Pretty much a total waste except for the cultural enrichment, and you don't need a whole semester to obtain that.

It always blew my mind that services like Yodlee (https://www.yodlee.com) worked that way. I can understand it from the point of view that no traditional bank was set up to allow structured access but it never felt right to me.

In the UK there is a big push around "open banking"[1] which will bring this into the 21st century and allow for proper programmatic access to data. It's still in it's infancy but the sector here is transforming around it.

Having dealt with stolen property I know this pain. Certainly if Bird can change the incentives so this behavior isn’t rewarded (which seems feasible, see my other reply) then all the better. But if people are taking 20+ scooters off the street without checking them out I don’t see a problem with reporting this and asking for police assistance. I do think Bird should definitely warn everyone first that they know what is going on and will begin to involve the police if it continues so people can have the chance to avoid that mess.

There might be, but I think the real question should be closer to: "Are there no other avenues for securing capital that are close to your ARR with costs as low as you'd get during a new funding round?"

I don't have an answer to your question, but access to cheap capital is just one reason why you may want to fundraise when the money isn't necessary.

Interesting about channels. I had been wondering why, despite always being touted as a core feature and reason for Go being awesome, I find them quite rare when looking at other people's code. I've only found them particularly useful for communication between goroutines on one project (filtering events, sending them to the correct workers), and the rest of the time mostly used to implement timeouts (and wishing for some syntactic sugar there, since it can be non-obvious how to to avoid leaking the timers).
For clarity, I only covered the data science part of the perspective; the data engineering/DevOps part is another, more difficult can of worms which would require its own post!
I am more inclined to believe Super Micro at this point. It is not just them that are denying this. Apple and Amazon have denied it as well and Apple even went so far as to write a letter to Congress[0]. With a hardware attack like the one that Bloomberg reported, there should be some actual physical evidence out in the wild but nothing has been found to date. I think that they really failed with regards to due diligence.

> Many crucial elections since then have been extremely close. They had the opportunity to have the decisive say in outcomes.

The one does not follow from the other. Even assuming that it's reasonable to consider a monolithic Millennial voting bloc, they may have been "extremely closely" outvoted.
Regarding this last point, I'd call it a "dark pattern" in journalism - it's intentionally designed to trick readers.
After watching 2001, I was completely underwhelmed. I felt like the kid in The emperor’s new clothes that yells “Mommy, the emperor is naked”. I later watched a 1 minute LEGO parody of the movie https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz4aQ2YbN-E and thought it covered all the basic themes of the movie in a minute instead of taking 2.5 hours.
The reality is is that shipping an amazon item costs between $3-7. For expensive items, they can cover that cost out of the wholesale/retail markup, so you don't really have to pay it. For cheaper items, or items without that much of a markup, it starts showing up in the price. Now, sometimes a manufacturer will want to buy some market share, so they'll sell an item to Amazon cheaper to reduce that impact, and then it's available. However, it will usually go back up to the normal price, with them hoping that you won't notice.
Did you try to bake it in the oven ("reflow")? Sometimes you can add a few more hours to its life, enough for backing it up.

I'm all for taking action against climate change, but the 10% number is just pure fear mongering. Robert Rhode at Berkely did an excellent job of showing what the true risks are here:

https://twitter.com/RARohde/status/1067375440661307393

As politicized as this climate change has become, I would hope to see more reasoned responses in the future - but given the current environment of discussion, I won't hold my breath.
I agree that it's a matter of scale. Some people move the dial so much that they effect change in the present and in the foreseeable future. You could say these people matter more than most others.

However, to say that most of what we do doesn't matter is a denial of one's own life.
Great Depression was followed and preceded by extreme economic growth. So, they where still better off over time.

The depth of the depression the US per capita GDP only dropped to ~1920 levels. (Industrialization is a hell of a drug.) It recovered by the end of the depression and the 40's was a massive boom.

You really want a logarithmic scale to do these kind of comparisons over time. But even that misses the kind of structural changes that are really harming Millennials specifically.

The same thing happened to me some years ago!

It was a trendy .com domain that was available, naively I didn't grab it right away, 2 days latter I went to purchase it, it was taken..
Moving away from GoDaddy was one of the most rewarding "online service" switches I've made. I used to cringe visiting GoDaddy when renewing domain names where I've had to carefully navigate my way through their Dark UX patterns which feels like I've ventured into the "Dark side of the Web" where you can't trust what you read and everything is designed to upsell scams out of you.

I've moved everything to Google Domains, at $12 /y for .com domains it's only a little more expensive than GoDaddy (with Coupons) but it has a straight-forward simple and minimalist UI where I can get everything I need to get done (e.g. dns config/renewing) quickly and easily.

It's an example of a UX-focused UI built for you by contrast I view GoDaddy's user-hostile UX was designed against your best interests.

I believe that is the "doc" I watched a while ago that had some interesting info about TN's asset forfeiture laws.

Even the narrator was saying that the cops are too happy with it. I assume several other states have aggressive asset forfeiture laws as well.

Watching that doc made me hurt just because they show someone going to jail for a few grams of weed, losing their car, the state (I think?) police saying "this will make a fine vehicle for us," and smiling directly to the camera about it saying we don't make the laws (paraphrasing as it's been a while since I saw the doc).

I honest do not understand your point. What is confusing about corporate vs individual liability? The corporation (Uber) will be held accountable at a civil level and employees can and do get held accountable at criminal levels (and that is also possible at this point). All this "let's frog-march the execs" talk because "if I did X I'd be in jail now" stuff is tiresome. I honestly do not think you understand the law well enough. Perhaps you should be upset over the enforcement of the law (which has been repeatedly and intentionally gutted in multiple areas of regulation by a major political party in the US). But that is a social and cultural problem, not a problem with the legal entity of a corporation.
Homelessness Rises More Quickly Where Rent Exceeds a Third of Income
Some of that seems right, but I don’t agree with the Uber example. Ride sharing has been a much more convenient and reliable service than taxis, and with less fraud (broken meters or credit card machines) and less discrimination (actually willing to drive me to the neighborhood I want). And with Uber I have a record of who drove me where. This seems pretty different from being picked up by a random person on the street. I haven’t used Upwork etc, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a similar experience.

Yes, I understand the problem but what I’m saying is when you shutdown to DOS (even without rebooting) win.com was shutoff. Since it was win.com that disabled EMM386 you were free to run your HIMEM whatever again. Thus having a full DOS environment without a full reboot (which used to be slow in those days).

Lets see if this exaggeration is upvoted or downvoted by HN whales.

Its a very sympathetic argument, but its not true. Curious how our overlords respond.

EDIT: Since I cant post, I'll respond here. Someone posted links saying-

> the College Board reports that a moderate college budget for an in-state public college for the 2017–2018 academic year averaged $25,290. A moderate budget at a private college averaged $50,900.

> college education cost hundreds of thousands of dollars

According to your source, this is 4x cheaper than the (200k+ that OP claimed)

Basically, the EULA should (and likely does) have some terms against that. That is to say, scooters that are fobbed out by their user should be left in such a way that their are accessible to other users. Identify the violators and charge them fines and/or terminate their accounts.

They tend to use it as something to show off their ego. It's a bit too academic and it often fails to understand the user's need.

As soon as you mentioned books I had a flashback to R. A. Penfold - and I was pleased you mentioned him. It didn't occur to me, at the time, it might have been a pen-name. As you say the author was very prolific.

I still have a couple of those books, though I moved away from hardware without delving too deeply. It's only recently I've started tackling hardware again, but these days I think of microcontrollers and microprocessors which can be programmed, rather than discrete components. At the time the most I'd have touched would have been the odd op-amp, and the 555.
That's not what the OP says though. The OP says the domain was registered the same day he searched it on GoDaddy, he never specifies when this happened.
