Why is online voting needed? As technologists we are sometimes suggesting and using technology to solve problems where technology creates more problems than it solves. If voting systems are online, they can be corrupted/hacked en masse. If it is paper, the corruption/hacking is much more logistically harder to accomplish.

Take the US presidential election as an example. Voting happens on the first Tuesday in November and the winner takes office on Jan 20th. That is over 2 months elapsed time. We don't need to know the winner on election night. Even if it takes 3 weeks to get accurate counts in a close race, there is still plenty of time for transition.

Living in constant fear because of your gender and where you were born is direct harm. Being controlled by the opposite gender is a direct harm. Not being able to become educated because you are female is a direct harm to them AND men(and those in between).

Get the job if you think it's going to be interesting and if you're happy with the cash compensation, not for the lottery tickets you're getting.

You're absolutely right, getting accurate data is one of the biggest challenges we're facing at the moment. I'd like to believe we're making great progress with it though. :)

Initially, we started off with static data together with a management panel for hosts to add/edit/delete their offers. As you might have guessed, most providers didn't feel like doing this, and those that did made mistakes entering the data or didn't keep it up to date.

This is why we've put most of our effort into automating the data feeds and getting up to date information. Right now, 60.3% of our offers are automatically retrieved from the provider and kept up to date every 24 hours.

Whenever a provider adds, edits or deletes an offer from their website, it's automatically synced to our website accordingly. We also try to do this for stock, but some providers do not expose this information before ordering.

While I'll freely admit we still have mistakes on our website, I hope that it's still useful in finding the right server for your needs, and appreciate your patience while we keep working on improving it every day. :)

P.S: We have deployed some small scale machine learning and are experimenting with it as we go, but since our knowledge in this field is lacking, progress will be slow.

Assuming they write the contract right, this is pretty standard breach of contract, regardless of the propriety of suing your customers.
(Skiplegged.com was thrown out for lack of jurisdiction, because United wasn't suing the people breaching the contract, only the people enabling it. Here, Lufthansa is suing the right people)

Hacker news never seems to like contracts that don't let it do whatever they want, but the person paid and agreed to do a thing, and didn't do it.

The fact that y'all think that thing is stupid is irrelevant.
Don't make contracts you aren't going to keep.

Tom Waits joked between songs on one of his live records, how in his travels he realized there is no over-population, just that everyone wants to live by each other.

Which got me to thinking, there is a lot of space, but it's privately owned. Heck, the first police groups north of the Mason-Dixon line were established explicitly to collect taxes for landowners. One of Trump's first big scary acts was to sell off thousands of acres of public lands to wealthy business partners. Yet in all the current talk of wealth redistribution, nobody includes land ownership, even though it has been the main measurement of wealth for as long as we've entertained civilization.
I missed an outbound leg of a return flight from Sydney to London 15 years ago. When I got to Heathrow to get my flight back, they told me the ticket was void because I hadn't taken the outbound leg, then charged me 3k GBP for a 'standard ticket'.

I spent about 4 months arguing with BA about it and eventually got most of the ticket refunded.

I still think about that.
I'm not arguing for or against sublime's performace, but I'd suggest you need to redefine what a large file is!
Good point! That seems like the best way to handle this. Getting blacklisted from the airline for causing delay by skiplegging is totally fair play IMO.
But given Vim's quirks, is that layout more amenable to working quickly? Given how people gripe about it in QWERTY setups, that's certainly a possibility.
The only thing they're likely to be engineering is that nested div monstrosity FB uses to obfuscate sponsored posts from adblockers.
If he bought the second leg in advance, doesn’t it show that he entered the first contract in bad faith, against their terms of service?

Personally I don’t get the whole concept of suing your customers. I would just ban him if I was Lufthansa.
> I know that airline pricing can be quite odd, but charging less for two flights than for one just seems to defy logic. What am I missing?

This is quite common: in this case, Seattle to Frankfurt has a limited number of direct flights (Lufthansa and Condor only), and people are willing to pay a premium for direct flights; Seattle to Oslo has no direct flights, so Lufthansa is in competition with every other airline that has a hub along a reasonable route (at the very least: KLM/Air France, BA, SAS, Icelandair), and as such there's more competition there.
What's your argument here? I don't try to be snarky, but learning a new skill is always slow in the beginning. If anything we should encourage people to learn these skills as early as possible so they can reap the benefits longer. I admit vim's learning curve is pretty steep, and I'm glad I learned it during my bachelor's thesis where I had a lot of time to do so.
It's bad reporting in the sense of, it's only one study, but if you follow the precautionary principle it surely becomes logical to ban, then investigate further?
I don't know for certain.

However, I recently read about the Freedoms of the Air, which define international airline abilities to move about in various ways; and some of that includes where you can stop temporarily (fuel planes, etc) and pick up passengers.

I wonder if some of this has to do with a cost structure that comes out of that? I'm also totally willing to believe that it's not a fully rational system and is more about demand/profit for certain routes.

Basically because ticket prices have no relation to the airline's cost, only to supply and demand. So when a multi-leg journey happens to serve an underserved route along the way, airlines want to be able to charge that leg according to its own supply and demand, even though it's a component of a route that has higher supply.

IMO it should be illegal. A company can't stop you from buying a car for its parts. They shouldn't be able to do this.
Highly unlikely. Ubnt has lots of Enterprise things which Apple has no use. Apple focus on Consumer segment. Ubnt is prosumer / Enterprise.
What makes you think that by buying a ticket you're now under contract to board the plane?
Building a Startup, a Day to Day VLOG
I don't get the problem here. He paid for the full flight, what's the problem with him not taking the connecting flight to the final destination?
> I’ve heard of airlines canceling the return flight if you skip a segment in the outbound leg.

Yeah they do this, even for a direct return flight (A to B and back to A) if you miss the A to B, they'll not honor the B to A ticket. Happened to a friend who was supposed to go Wednesday and return on Sunday, but had a meeting at work in the origin city and flew on Thursday instead.

I think most of the "hidden city" travelers don't check any bags in, because as has been mentioned, it'll be hard to get their bag back/the time needed to unload the bag will massively piss off the airline.
Another way to look at it is: what fraction of the time are you typing versus thinking? If it's less than 20%, then a faster editor will probably not speed you up by a significant amount.
Additive changes aren't a problem. If I use the method 'spam' from library '{foo : most_recent}' adding 'eggs' to 'foo' doesn't require me to edit my code to {foo : 16.8.37}. The most recent version still works.

If the library author decides to do something that breaks calls to 'spam' (or 'eggs', etc.) then a protocol that calls the new library 'foobar' (not 'foo') means '{foo : most_recent}' still works. I can use continue using 'foo.spam' if it meets my needs.

+ And there's no problem if I want to add '{foobar : most_recent}' to the code if I want to use 'foobar.eggs'.

+ And I can even use 'foobar.spam' alongside 'foo.spam'.

+ And my build system can be simplified to '{foo}, {foobar}' as the ordinary case. With language like '{foo : 23.8.13}' only needed for rare cases. For example when my code depends on the effects of an obvious bug that was patched.

The premise of semantic versioning is that breaking changes for whatever reason are ok. And look, that's fine. "It's your library. It's free. You don't owe me anything." I just prefer not to rely on people who will change "print x" to "print(x)" based on divine revelation rather than the effect it has on everyone who relied on the documentation saying use 'print x'. And no automated migration tools because semantic versioning.

No, it's not extortion, it's breach of contract.
If he didn't' want to perform the contract, he shouldn't have taken it on.

This is not a great example of anything else, despite your hyperbole.
Anecdotal, but I was flying out of a German airport last week. Luggage, peculiarly, was checked at the gate, there was no separate area for checking hold luggage.

The gate was announced about an hour before the gate closure, and by the time we'd got to the gate (~5 minutes) we were informed that the bag drop was closed. We had a brief argument, and they reluctantly took the bags. Insane.

Great question, and one we're still juggling with :) We have some management consulting firms that use the clustering results as part of the analysis they do for clients, and some brands that have used it to better understand what people are asking them on their customer support tasks.

One upside to that is people don't try to get too fancy with HTML emails. IMO, email would be much better off if it had never supported HTML. Things are getting worse with the current trend of supporting emoji in the subject. My gmail web inbox looks like a GeoCities page.
It's a pretty big gap between "trying to enforce unpopular contractual agreements", which is clearly their right to attempt, even if the court found they didn't do it well enough and it's going to be a PR mess (which I hope it'll be) , to "extortion", which is criminal. The court didn't even find that the clause in the terms of service is invalid.
When else are they going to encounter that much UV?
It's really quite simple. Have you ever made a decision and then later thought "even without knowing what I know now, I made a bad choice"? That's irrationality-- given the same information, making two different choices.
Huge kudos to your manager for standing up like that. Companies often look for a single point of failure (it's only human), instead of admitting that the organization as a whole systematically failed to prevent the error, let alone discover it "in time."

I hate to use platitudes but companies are only really as strong as their weakest link (not to impugn your skills or anything like that). Letting a single failure sink the whole ship means there are larger issues at play.

This release removes the optimized assembly implementations. RC4 is insecure and should only be used for compatibility with legacy systems.

So why did they get rid of the optimized implementations and kept the slow one? What was the actual reasoning behind this decision?
I feel like the ease with which one can write keyboard macros in Emacs is an often overlooked feature. Saves me so much work very day.
Well you seem to already have solved your problem, but if you haven't it might be worthwhile to consider using Latex, the ToC and everything else is already handled or its very likely that a plugin already exists. You can also have separate files and just include them on a main file.
Converting Latex to Markdown is also pretty seamless so it's (relatively) easy to convert to use in your website.
Not OP, but I think the argument is that Vim isn't a magic editor that would make you fast out of the box. And if you just want to get work done without concentrating on learning a new skill, maybe you should look at other options?
For example in the nuclear industry we regularly view and edit 1 GB text file inputs and outputs from chain reactor simulators. Vim, grep, tail -f, and awk, and Python are all essential tools in our belts.

I'm very sorry to hear this, we use noUiSlider, which mentions "Accessible with ARIA and keyboard support" as one of their features, but it looks like our implementation might have broken it.

I've added this as a high priority issue and will update you when I make any progress. I'll also see if we can improve our accessibility testing to avoid this in the future.
I also endorse the switch to Dvorak -- I find it more comfortable (less finger movement feels calmer). I can also switch between keyboard layouts within a few conscious keystrokes, after that the 'muscle memory' takes over.

I suspect Colemak is better, but it's a much smaller gain going from Dvorak to Colemak than from Qwerty to Dvorak, so I'll stick to what I have. Otherwise I suspect Colemak is better than Dvorak when switching from QWERTY.
Wait a minute, wasn’t ed faster at that time? :)
My guess is this might be similar to how company's sue people for trademark violations, even when they are not doing any direct damage to the brand i.e. to protect themselves from future legal liability. If too many customers use the hidden city in a foreign airline flight, they might be found not be in compliance with route agreements.

Some background on the subject:

Really there is an easy solution to this - don't have such batshit pricing structures that longer trips taken partway leaving empty seats is cheaper!

If it is cheaper for them to head to a third city first instead of directly just have the prices reflect it so it is x to layover and y to destination which is less than z a direct flight - if it is even offered.
Finland, Norway, Iceland, Sweden - they are pretty happy countries.

I guess this headline makes one want to grab the pitchfork, but I don’t know if we will end in a better place if carriers are barred from following the pricing strategy at the core of this.

LH is simply routing passengers like IP packages, where sometimes it may be more economical to, for example, go the long way around to get to the destination. In those cases, they want to charge you the (lower) price of your trip’s usefulness to you, irregardless of the (longer) route it took you to get there.

Barring this practice will just make those flights more expensive, or potentially reduce competition on some rote that a carrier like LH does not service with direct flights.

The narrower court case is simply a matter of contract law. Sure, there need to be exceptions for sudden sickness or actual changes of plans, but those are factual questions, not ones of law at issue here. I’m no fan of naive contract fetishism upholding the right to sign away your first-born n &Cs. But this issue here really does not strike me as overtly one-sided.
I run Emacs outside of the terminal and it's quite fast. There used to be a time where it was considered a resource hog but compared to the monster IDEs we have today it's pretty lightweight. It's not the best editor for dealing with huge files but it does the job (IIRC it used to be a significant limitation back in the 32bit days but not so much on 64bit systems).
And then you have to work on another computer with a QWERTY layout. Or a colleague comes over for pair programming or to check something.

Oooops!

I've changed my keyboard layouts in the past. My conclusion: there's value in standardization.
Found them to be difficult to grow. Average dry flat air is not good, to wet and they rot. Need water spray regularly.

AIUI, Lambda operates on requests. (Either "calls" to a function, i.e., just invoking a lambda function w/ args and getting the result over the network somewhere else, or as an HTTP handler or a CloudWatch handler, but those are really specialized cases of the first.) Using time.NewTicker/time.After strikes me as something you would do to maintain some sort of background process, which Lambda is not intended for: IIRC, Lambda can arbitrarily freeze your process b/c no requests are being served presently, and that "capacity" isn't needed as far as AWS is concerned. I think under the hood they're doing a cgroup freezer or something, but the result would be exactly what you see: timers firing way too late. They wouldn't fire until the underlying container is unfrozen. This wouldn't be a bug in Go or Lambda; Lambda is specifically designed to do this, so as to free you from needing to care about how much capacity you require¹. (At the cost of making stuff like background timers not work; that's not its model.)

Demand-based pricing and monopolistic practices.

Say SFO to DEN has the big four carriers, each coming in suspiciously close to the exact same price ($199 one week out).

Then Frontier decides to run that route, charging ~$99 one week out.

Three or four of the big carriers will magically drop their fares to match Frontier's.

Frontier, the most mercurial of airlines, will then drop their SFO-DEN route because it's no longer profitable (or shut down completely as they've done a couple times). The big four go back to their old fares or higher.

Now if I wanted to go SFO-SLC to see the Jazz play, that might be $299 one way. If I book the SFO-DEN on Delta, whose hub is in SLC, I get the benefit of the Denver fare. Most people would not think to do that (because they check bags and don't have time as cheap as I do).

Alternatively, one of the cheapest destinations is often Cleveland (go figure). Maybe SFO-CLE is $99 for the few people (and Skiplagged) who go looking for it. That might get you the ability to go to a dozen US cities for $99, all of which are way more expensive when booked directly.

Let's say we're note-gathering at a conference about metadata formats for international science collaboration. Often we get remote participants who want to join the conversation, and selection bias says that they especially come from developing countries and can't afford to travel. Those constituencies may have vital information which will help to guide a standardization process for shared metadata.

If they are blocked, for whatever reason, they may be unable to contribute to the conversation. Maybe their missing voice means that metadata systems add another piece of systematic bias against them and further excludes them.

I don't know of any specific examples where this has happened, but the underpinnings are all true.
