Glide apps are first and foremost PWAs. We're rolling out shortlink support soon, so your app would be something like mycoolapp.glideapp.io. Android will prompt you to add the app to your homescreen, and on iOS we show a similar prompt. You can pay for a custom domain.

On our paid plan, we can export native builds for you to publish to app stores. Currently we have a React Native implementation of Glide that runs the app natively, rather than wrapped.

Yes, we are looking into streamlining the store publishing process in any way we can, and fastlane will come in handy. We've been surprised by how many users have been satisfied with PWAs so far, though.
Linear Algebra Done Right would be my recommendation.
what? I didn't justify it at all. Of course we're not in high school and no it shouldn't be used on this site. just pointing out how it has nothing to do with 4chan and that its just a childish insult.
+1. I've fallen in love with NYC over the past few years in no small part due to the transit system working well enough for me to explore all around it comfortably.
Aren't "PRs which should ping the CODEOWNERS" and "PRs which shouldn't" two types of PR anyway? Personally, I think it's useful calling it a draft and preventing the merge anyway.
I think this kind of "Blockstream Spam" has no place here on HN. We all know Adam Back and Greg Maxwell troll this forum posting pro-Blockstream nonsense.

Blockstream is trying to do to Bitcoin what JpMorgan did with their private blockchain. A devilish company to be sure.
"Stable coin" is one of those misnomers where it means exactly the opposite of what one would expect from the existing definition of those words.

Something pegged to the US dollar is inherently going to be unstable, because the dollar is unstable. The dollar is not priced in terms of dollars. One dollar today might not be a dollar tomorrow. The instability is mostly due to the conditions of the market, but then those effects are compounded by the whimsical economists printing it for fun.

OTOH, Bitcoin is a closed system. At any point in time, you can measure the amount of Bitcoin you have as a fraction of the total amount of Bitcoin which exists, and you can even directly predict how that will change due to inflation for the next 100+ years.

I personally prefer the term "fiat coin" or just "shitcoin" is sufficient.

Scott Aaronson is a brilliant computer scientist, but I honestly don’t see it. There are a lot of these bizarre “applications” coming from quantum computing theorists or physicists. Generally speaking they read as a little out of touch with whatever field they’re proposing the new thing too.

For example, generating random numbers with quantum computers is an interesting theoretical exercise. But it’s completely asinine in practice. The world moved on from information theoretic randomness decades ago because complexity theoretic randomness is basically fine for just about any purpose.

It comes across as grasping at straws when you’re proposing using a quantum computer to generate true randomness. Sure, you could, but what a ridiculously overengineered way of getting random bits... For similar reasons, I’m incredibly skeptical of quantum cryptography. Go find someone who publishes at an IACR conference and ask them for their take on quantum key agreement protocols.
IANAL; how would a precedent help future cases like this?

They make it sounds like the slow and expensive process of just participating in the legal system is what enables trolling, not the actual prior opinions of courts.
>Because if meta-studies only get to include the single most recent and largest study, they wouldn’t be very ‚meta‘, would they?

I'm saying the earlier are clearly non-specific to glyphosate. The 2015 and 2018 AHS are targeted to glyphosate specifically and with larger samples of cases, and thus warrants more consideration. If your meta-study can only be done by including specious sources, then maybe that should be questioned.

>I love how you’re trying to appear all scientificatious while really just saying „some say A, others say B. No way to know. Be sceptical!“

Yes that is exactly what I am saying.

The results of multiple independent researchers are inconclusive, thus anyone claiming clear evidence of anything should be have to prove their point very robustly, particularly when the issue is charged with social/political bias.
DBs are great when everything works fine, but then when it stops working fine for whatever reason, your hair are on fire and you end up having to learn real quick a whole lot of stuff about your DB... then you wish:

- You had learned and practiced this stuff ahead of time; or,

- Had paid someone to do it for you, so you can focus on your core business.
Hey man, I didn't post the paper on neural nets, manifolds and topology; I'm not going to defend it.

I already said you don't need a metric. But in the presence of an interesting metric or other distance measure; of course the signal fits on a lower dimensional manifold. Metric spaces and other distance measures give people a lot of tools to reason about data in general, hence virtually all common unsupervised learning algorithms and stuff like topological data analysis.
It’s not corruption to reduce the required nonconsensual payment in your jurisdiction to attract new business.

On the flip side, if no one was anxious and everyone was perfectly enjoying the present, it could be that no one would ever bother to even invent the wheel.
"[..]$100K in tax abatements per job seems excessive, but others say it was pretty standard,[..]"

Lol.. I live there. Polar vortex and all.. and that vortex impacted most of the country. The flip side is that houses are pretty cheap. You can buy in most brackets in almost any area you want to live in. Taxes aren't that bad. Cost of living is cheap. Summers are great.
There are tons of problems that haven't been solved. Best way to identify one is to get involved with small companies and find their pain points. Especially ones not directly involved in technology. Think about commerce shops for example. Or art shops. Or food shops. You have to gain experience from the inside to come up with an idea, or if that's not possible just go ahead and ask them directly to name a few of their issues.

I did a consulting gig for an art gallery a couple years ago and I came up with a dozen ideas by watching how they operated. I'm sure the same applies for a gazillion of markets out there, ones where technology isn't that dominant.

Side note. You may want to take a look at the famous "passive income" threads in here. There are hundreds of ideas and projects in them that could inspire you to build something new. Just make a search for "passive" on the search box at the bottom and good reading.
Hundreds of thousands of people don't turn out for a parade for Amazon. They do when pro teams win championships.

Football stadiums get subsidized because football is extraordinarily, wildly popular with most of the people that pay taxes. Those taxpayers spend massive sums of money on sports every year, across the NFL / MLB / NBA / NHL / MLS / NCAA. Those people pay most of the taxes that fund the government that then pays for the stadium subsidies.

Taxpayers love sports, love spending money on sports, and the majority of taxpayers are clearly fine with subsidizing sports at all levels. They vote with their dollars and... votes, over and over again, year after year, decade after decade, to keep supporting sports subsidization.

See: football attendance and ticket spending on NFL and college games annually, as well as sports packages for television, merchandise sales, etc.

My best idea to help came from when I was working at a Auto Body shop and I was able to help them optimize their books. They used to dread doing a simple export from Excel into a Tax software system (I forget which one) but I converted it to some weird proprietary format and they could import it.

It's not what I'd (personally) start a startup on, but the idea is there. I was also super green and coding in VB so I'm glad I let that miss. If you can get in with a small business owner and see where they're spending repeated human cycles for data entry, you can potentially have an idea.
Definitely. There's been a lot of exciting work recently for text in particular, like https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04805.pdf .
That's one anecdotal datum in support of the hypothesis: NH is #12 on the "not enough money to be corrupt" candidate list.

The NH economy is 3% the size of California's, with 5.7% the land area, and 3.4% the population. That suggests it has less than 3% the corruption opportunity, because the state still has to accomplish a lot of the same functions with about 3% as much money. Some things scale by land area or population, and other things are simply flat administrative burden, such as keeping the lights on in the sole state legislature building.

Any person wanting to profit from their own corruptibility would therefore not stay in NH, and would not go to Maine or Vermont, who have even less money to be stolen, but would instead go to Massachusetts, which is #11 on the "enough money to steal" candidate list. And take a ladle, to skim off some of the extra money sloshing around Boston.

This suggests that many of our largest (by money) states could be broken up as an anti-corruption measure, to divide the flows from tax revenues into expenditures into more channels, with less flowing through each. A corrupt person can only fish for dishonest opportunities in one metaphorical river at any one time. How corrupt would Illinois be, if Chicago-Naperville-Elgin-Gary were no longer attached to it? How would California differ if Los-Angeles-Long-Beach and San-Francisco-Oakland-San-Jose were no longer part of it? Would the effect be more pronounced in states where the current capital is not also the largest city: New York, California, Illinois, Texas, Florida?
One? No. There are other short players in the NBA.
Keeping them safe and healthy takes time. But, there are other things too. Teaching them to be good people, spending time with them to provide them with company and love (their friends aren't available round the clock). Bring up children is like being a small business owner. You nurture them so that they become solid, independent people when they grow up. The ROI is not money, but happiness, which is the ultimate goal of money.

Think about which experiences in your life (or other people's lives) have key pain points that we wish didn't exist. Then think hard about ways to overcome those.

Alternatively, think about trade-offs that you or people in general feel forced to make, and try to build something that offers a compromise, a third alternative that previously didn't exist. That's innovation.
Yes, you can make it work. But you have to run this special shim or proxy, because browsers still don't all support HTTP/2, header trailers, etc. Hence "lacking".
Internap has never really been relevant as a large scale colo/datacenter provider, if you look at the square footage of their facilities compared to major competition like Equinix and Digital Realty Trust.

They're more of a managed services provider.
I'm a bit disappointed in your response. Did you look up Shockley–Queisser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley%E2%80%93Queisser_limi...)? The maximum theoretical single p-n junction efficiency is low 30%s. Sunpower is the best consumer grade product and they are in the low 20%s right now (https://us.sunpower.com/products/solar-panels/). There is not that room for improvement. There are higher efficiency pv cells, but they are stacked layers with different bandgaps and/or involve concentrators. And the hard cap is insolation (the amount of sunlight/area) and I am personally very pessimistic that solar tracking will make it in a reliable way to consumer/residential application.

Your Athlon example only works because of where we were in the transistor density s-curve (aka "Moore's law" when it was in the earlier phase and looked exponential). Solar is a lot closer to the analogy at 5 nm scale where quantum tunneling becomes a concern and incremental progress is much slower and more expensive.

Out of all those, only the E runs through Penn Station, and only the 7 runs through Grand Central. Nowhere near as nice as being table to take any ACE train or any 456 train to get where you're going.

Needless petty snark.

> Compromising SWIFT credentials allows you to send money from any account. Compromising a customer's private key would only allow you to send money that's in that one account.

If the "customers" are "banks" as you stated, then there is a 1:1 relationship between SWIFT credentials and private keys which allow one to sign transactions on behalf of the "customer" (bank).
Congrats on the launch! I like the look and feel of the dashboard and am wondering if you mind sharing the stack of the front-end. Are you using a UI kit? It seems like Material Design but it feels lighter.
Is there actually a way to do this, if there is no code difference between your new branch and the base?

It costs $100/mo minimum to get failover support, pretty high for a starter package. That's a high end laptop a year to get a low-performance database with one standby and a daily backup.
>I've been considering the 10p bedtime/5a wake up so I can do side projects in the morning, but this still only adds 1.5 hours of time for a total of 3 hours a day.

Do it.

3 hours per day, 5 days a week for an entire year is 720 hours. It's a marathon, not a sprint. And it's not like you need to always do it. Try it out, see if it is for you, worst case you cross the idea off your list.

I'd fail that too. I didn't have the money to get a computer. But I am mechanical engineer and in my first job I quickly was the guy who wrote macros for our CAD system instead of doing designs with it. I never liked using the CAD system but I loved writing code for it. That would indicate a natural attraction to writing code.
I've dabbled in PowerShell before, but I've always found the objects you get from cmdlets to be so much more opaque than the plain text you get from Unix output, which makes it harder to use the iterative approach to development the article and other commenters describe.

> At some point, New Yorkers ought to ask themselves why everyone wants to move to these nice midwestern cities.

Not sure why you chose the midwest as a qualifier here - out of all the cities you listed, only Omaha would be considered a midwestern city.

Out of the 15 fastest growing cities according to the Census, almost none of them are in the midwest [1] (Only one really: Columbus). Admittedly it's over a short time span.

Also: #5 is LA, a city I don't think anyone would consider to be low cost of living.

The real story is that the south (+ Texas, depending on what you consider Texas) seems to be growing rapidly, not the midwest.

At first this seems very insightful, but then one recalls that Neural networks can approximate any computable function and so can polynomials. This is not particularly insightful in that regard.
It's twin aisle 7 abreast, sitting in between the 737 and 787 in terms of pax capacity, with no cargo capacity, that will be lighter overall, and optimized for ranges under 4,000 or 4,500 miles depending on source. So a "sorta" replacement for the 757 and 767 with much better economics. And designed just as a people carrier. So expect to see it operated on high volume intra-Asia routes, and things like coast to coast or high volume intra-US and intra-EMEA routes. It'll also take some of the transatlantic market (e.g. anything served by a 757 today).

Operating planes designed for spanning the globe (777, 787, 350, etc) over shorter distances (<4,000 miles) just to get the extra seats becomes much less economical due to the weight of those planes and the wasted space on cargo capacity that can't be filled on the shorter routes.
> all people who would qualify to work at Amazon getting 150k per year are already working somewhere making something close to that. this was not going to change employment rate or boost income taxes. this was going to drive housing prices, especially rent thru the roof though.

Those people might not currently be in NYC, and they might have moved to NYC to work for Amazon. NYC would have received more income tax revenue if high earners moved there from somewhere else.
Yeah, professional protesters are a thing. It is not even NIMBY any more, it is anti whatever development. Especially in a ultra-leftist city like NYC, where in their mainstream political disclosure, business reads as sin.
> new people would have to move to NYC specifically for Amazon (or to fill vacancies created by people leaving other companies to work at Amazon)

This has certainly been true for Seattle, fwiw.
Liked some of the suggestions, but the way they're displayed is not very easy to read. My suggestion is having the domains divided in columns with more spacing, much like leandomainsearch.com.
I don’t know, cities rise and fall at lot more quickly than it feels like at the time.

New York City was on the verge of bankruptcy in 1975, less than 50 years ago.

Detroit’s population started declining as early as the 1950s as companies moved to the suburbs.

New York has a world-class, diverse economy, and I expect it to continue to be a central engine of the American and world economy for our lifetimes, but it does require good stewardship to nurture the economy.

We may be on the cusp of a reversal of the great urban migration of the last several decades, with populations moving into suburban satellite cities as remote work gains acceptance, driverless cars allow for easier commutes, logistics companies and drones allow for easy delivery of goods to your doorstep, and urban housing prices continue to relentlessly outpace wage growth.
I'm talking about competition, whatever the technical implementation. That's precisely the point, cost is determined by market structure and incentives, an inferior solution can be much cheaper due to lower margins.
Well I personally like to start by writing the documentation first. That way your documentation changes become essentially your 'plan of attack' rather than having to write it out explicitly.
Many private services have long wait times too. It's not just a government thing.
They've already started in NYC and DC-NOVA as well.

Its really hard to make a thoughtful reply to a thread like this without seeming like its just ivory tower dumping on red states. My feeling is that they've set up a basically every person for himself sort of society with (usually multinational or national) businesses as the primary benefactor rather than people.
> It's not a problem specific to data science, either. I've heard plenty of complaints about new engineers who are so used to made-up problems that they don't balk at ludicrous data or results when they start doing real work.

This is one of the reasons I think we need to better integrate technology (and general data analysis follows the same reasoning) across the curriculum: an increasing share of work (and a more rapidly increasing share of good paying work) is knowledge-based work that involves both data analysis and working with people who are doing automation, on top of that which is primarily automation or data analysis. But we don't trash other knowledge skills in relation to automation and analysis, which leaves people specialized in automation and analysis and people specialized in domain skills talking to each other over a wide gap too often, with a lot falling through the cracks.
In fact, it actually validates the thought that the idea is viable.

Not sure you can go that far. The first part of your statement sounds reasonable though.
I'm not sure I understand your point. Blockchains do not get rid of competition.

Yeah, my point is exactly what you say at the end - for practical applications, those theoretical details (which are enormously challenging) generally aren't necessary, and the problems they address aren't the ones application practitioners will encounter. I definitely understand the motivation for theoretical structures within math itself, and i have no issue with e.g. the axiom of choice for people doing mathematics itself.

Different people will either admit your truth or prefer to remain in denial. We all only have a finite amount of energy every day. The best is when that energy peaks, so it goes to whatever we’re doing at that time. Other competing tasks will get shortchanged, no matter how skilled you think you are at compartmentalizing, time management, etc. Something always has to give.
