This is to say, either the tax is not high enough for services (note that fire, sprinkler inspection, etc are typically additional fees) or the property taxes are not properly earmarked for the direct costs that they entail.

It's also easy to suggest that these costs and inspections could be "free market" attributed to the insurer.
crunchbase, google/yahoo finance, annual reports if they have them, news search... If they're small and low key this may be hard to come by, but in most cases, who senior executives and board members are is public information.
Yes. It's also just a cliche word--I wonder what a better one would be: "open up" value/wealth? Too clunky.
Ah. Good point. And Muslims obviously don't. So Mormons are far closer to mainstream Christians. Except for the part about Joseph Smith getting briefed by some angel (Moronai, if memory serves). Martin Luther etc never made such claims.
Interesting response. Why do you think that?

I am actually using both and I am pretty happy with them, mainly because of their FX rates and stylish colours. On the other hand though, I would never send my salary there and I don't trust that they are not selling my data or that they have the magnitude of security processes Santander or Barclays have in place.
But what if you had 8m per month?
My thoughts exactly. My understanding is that Tesla plans on including a clause to prevent their autonomous cars from being used on other ridesharing platforms and simultaneously launching their own service.

I believe Lyft has significant financial ties with GM, who has Cruise, so maybe they'll be able to navigate it from a partnership angle.

Along with interactive search (C-s forwards, C-r backwards), you can jump to the definition of a symbol (including a function) with ‘M-.’. These would be the idiomatic ways of moving around. There are multiple ways of maintaining up-to-date symbols depending on your context, which you can look up in the documentation for ‘M-.’.
You're right.

Slides are great but they miss so much from the original talk. Slides are for people who already saw the talk and want that last bit of info. Anyone have a link to the live talk?
Is there nothing that you could do better than posting comments about how much you think others are wasting their lives? Is your job really the best application of your time to help the most people?

Life is short, why spend it mad that other people like things you don't, and why spend it upset that there are people spending time on products that you don't want or think are important?

You'd probably hate me because I have most of the things you listed, and I actually think I want to pick one of these up. Sure, I could get something cheaper, but I like that it fades out, I like that it's portable, I like that I can use it to help me wake up better. And despite you and many others classifying these things as useless, the little benefits of stuff like this have added quote a lot to my personal happiness. I can adjust the temperature from the couch, I can make sure my house is locked and the temperature adjusted the other direction after I leave, I can hear announcements when a face that the system recognizes is at the front door, I can just tell the little speaker pods to adjust connected lights or temperatures or doors with my voice, etc...

On their own, none of them are super life changing, but together I am much happier because of it. I sleep better, I wake up easier, I spend less time worrying, my family is safer, and I save electricity from having lights/temp adjusted a bit more "smart" than I can do on my own.
lol that is unexpectable

I can't see how PeerTube isn't a non-starter. Aside from being much worse of a cesspit of porn, white supremacists, and other things you don't want your kids finding without having you there to explain what's going on (and yeah, you're gonna say "but you can filter it!"--you can, I can, people can't), it has no reasonable-person-testable model for creatives to actually pay their bills, both through lack of reach and lack of accessibility. (Which is to say--the adpocalypse is real, but most creatives aren't finding Patreon supporters on ye olde PeerTube.)

(Aside: if your proposed model includes the word "cryptocurrency," you fail, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. Rent and taxes are denominated in real money, thou must do likewise.)

For all the huge, gaping problems that YouTube has, and right now in another thread I'm going to the mat on exactly that, centralization won and will continue to win and so we need to use the big lever (y'know, the "being in a society" one) to fix what's centralized, not expect people to scatter to the four winds of irrelevance.
Because nobody goes to jail for violating the do not call list.

People do get fined... but you have to find them first.
Good step. Next step is learn to sell your ideas before building anything!

> Stoicism isn't about the avoidance of suffering. It's about accepting fate

That's actually a Roman-Christian reinterpretation of the Greek philosophy.

The Greek teaching in a nutshell is that what depends on you depends on you, and what doesn't depend on you (such as others or nature) does not -- and therefor shouldn't be a source of frustration.

(It says nowhere, as you note a few sentences later, that you should accept the would-be source of the frustration; just that you shouldn't be frustrated about it -- while working on improving the situation if you feel strongly about it.)
I set our juniormost sysadmin to install Zulip. He took a couple of days to read through the docs, then did it in an afternoon.

Adding custom keywords -- Zulip calls them linkifiers -- took a fair amount of time, but we have about 25 of them and few of them resembled each other much.

Since install day, it really hasn't required much maintenance.

I think the point is, Lyft doesn't want to be in the business of running enterprise could infrastructure.

They want to make money brokering rides.

Taking on their own cloud infrastructure -- in theory -- could economically make sense. But that's just an extra layer of risk and complexity they'd rather forego to focus on their core business.

After all, their core business is already losing $930M on $2B in revenue. They're cash-flow doesn't put them in a good position to make large up-front investments on data centers.

So, yeah, like a broke renter in an expensive city. In theory, it might be better to buy a house, but you don't have the down payment, and maybe you should be focused on increasing your earning power rather than saving money anyway...

Can you clarify what level of REMOTE-ness is welcome? None of the listings on jobs.amd.com seem to mention anything about remote work.
> Is there really nothing more pressing in the world that we need to suck up the talents of designers and developers to make a "better nightlight"? I'll admit that it looks like a nice enough product, but nobody needs this, and I sure hope nobody thinks they do.

Do you also feel this same way about art?

I don't really care for this kind of product but I like it when thought has been put into a product and it shows. If something brings joy to the creators and or consumers I'd argue that's a good use of talent.
it seems that AMZN's spaghetti has pretty high coefficient of stickiness or may be some secret marinara sauce ...
update: Also re2c gives you "semantic actions" like Ragel or yacc, which is better IMO. Not sure if lex/flex does that. I think it has a hard-coded notion of tokens.
> There's no incentive to fear the government making you accountable if you are also the government

True for the US federal government, less true for US state governments, and pretty much not at all true for governments subordinate to US state governments, for reasons which should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.

> Making your utility state run risks the the same "not our money" and "what are they gonna do, fire the whole department" issues that cause police department to hire trigger-happy jerks who kill people and leave the town with the bill.

I think you have misattributed the cause; the cause of that (where it is endemic rather than an error that the department really is trying to avoid but sometimes failing) is that the voting citizens actually want trigger-happy jerks in the police department (because they largely see the police department as a weapon aimed at oeople they dislike) and the bills that they get stuck with as a result are insufficient to dissuade them from that preference (this is helped because local taxes that pay for those bills tend to be weighted away from the local voting population, whether by being regressive—leveraging the income/political participation correlation—or by sweeping local-activity by non-locsl residents into its base.)

But even privileged political elites probably want their electric utility to function VB reliably and not burn down wide swathes of the state.
> Finally, it's not a backroom deal. Part of Amazon's competition was for each city to sign an NDA in the process so cities can't see the bids of other cities. This would have created a bidding war that, surprisingly, Amazon didn't want.

So, it's a backroom deal. Opacity in this process benefits Amazon and hurts the cities, so people got pissed off and rejected it. This isn't hard to understand.
Speech can counter speech, and action can counter action. If you don't vaccinate your kids, CPS can take them away from you. If you want to write paranoid screeds about how vaccines and fluoridated water are a communist plot to block the pineal gland, that's up to you, buddy. Just know that if you have kids, we're keeping an eye on you, and if their shot cards aren't up to date or you have a doctor buddy forging them, we're gonna take away your kids and throw you in prison for a long, long time--just to make an example of you. This is what happens to tax protesters (like Wesley Snipes) and this is why tax protester conspiracy theories don't really get anywhere despite the absolute lack of any legal authority to stop people from disseminating them.

I mostly agree with you about Rwanda because openly calling for people to commit genocide does cross a threshold that justifies forceful reaction. My point there is that you're appealing to government, which is exactly who in Rwanda was organizing the genocide in the first place. But if you're imagining a UN peacekeeping force being deployed to Rwanda being the censors instead--sure, among many other things they should probably shut down the radio stations. I'm fine with that.

> Do you not see that there is a line drawn from speech to action

The problem is that this argument makes it too easy to misuse the instrument of censorship. You're calling for censorship that's both unnecessary and insufficient to solve the anti-vax problem, using a standard that could be just as easily abused to call for censorship that even you would disagree with.

No it's not. They just own the domain. They provide the regular mail service to businesses. Mine is a new invention.
Looks like they skewed their charts to make their growth look bigger. Seems pretty disingenuous, especially for an official filing:

I've heard Zulip is much better about threads, but in Slack there are some annoying things about them. Everything is crammed into the sidebar, so reading log snippets suck. Also, I noticed people will often post their initial message, then a @here with slightly more info in the same channel. I'm not sure where to begin the thread from. I haven't been able to intuit the rules for alerting people or uploading things like images into a thread.
Performance in MOOCS (or any educational setting) != Intelligence or ability to perform
A small comment on one of these technologies: cell-free DNA. A big problem in innovating there is that THE big backbone technology player Illumina (for DNA sequencing) has its own big research initiative (named grail) in the field. I know from at least one start up that got into trouble regarding some new tech with them as Illumina obviously does not want competitors to succeed and has far too much knowledge about those to let them go freely. So being a big "breakthrough" area can have disadvantages as it also attract monopoly players.
I remember the days before Digg, Reddit, and Youtube voting. It's magnitudes better than that garbage.
I wanted to install and try OpenBSD on my Librebooted Thinkpad T60, but unfortunately it is not possible to use full disk encryption with a non-custom Libreboot rom (you apparently need SeaBios instead of Grub2 for this to work). I find it quite sad, because I think Libreboot + OpenBSD would be the ultimate security and privacy-focused combo.
This is nice. But I don't know why Amazon would want to do business in New York. Or California, for that matter.

These states' policymakers are hostile to business in the form of taxes and regulations. Cuomo himself said 'America was never great'.
There appear to be several areas in the US whose settlement and continued habitation feel like a testament to human arrogance. Massive floods? Hurricanes? Tornados? Huge wildfires? Check, check, check, check.
Survival Bias, in a Nutshell
This is a common confusion from folks who haven't really used Zulip. You don't need to think about the subject for every message, because 95% of messages you send are replying to an existing message/conversation, and you don't need to think about topics to do that.

For those messages where you are effectively changing the topic of conversation, in Zulip, rather than starting your message with "On another note," or a similar phrase to communicate that you're about to say something unrelated words, you instead just send your message to another topic.

And if there are multiple conversations happening at overlapping times, Zulip's model often ends up saving you from having to say "@fred yes" in your reply to indicate which question you're answering "yes" to, because it's obvious from the structure.

You can argue it's slightly more work for the person sending a message to type a topic when you bring up something unrelated, but it's certainly not much, and it's only relevant to a small fraction of messages that one sends. Whereas what Zulip's model saves your organization is every one of the N users who can have to read the conversation needing to spend much more time and mental effort in order to understand what conversation(s) happened while they weren't looking at chat and whether there was something that needs their attention.
>This makes it impossible to discuss because this small group's focus is so different from everyone else's.

Well, if people don't value decentralization, there's not much need for them to use Bitcoin. There's a lot of problems that come with decentralization.

I feel this is like comparing car seating to couches. Car seat fans only seem to care about going places! Car seats are small and don't let you lie down? But it gets places! They need a seat buckle and don't let you sit freely? But it gets places! They shake a bit and are usually surrounded by noise? But it gets places!

Some of the complaints can have some incremental improvements, but they're unlikely to be solvable and the fact that someone might rate the complaints highly relative to the goal implies that they're not in the target market for the thing and its large trade-offs.

/overly general point. Some specific responses:

Some of the goals you mention (not useful, massive price fluctuations) are generally only solvable with more people using it. If there were easier more direct solutions, people would've done them.

>Hard for normal people to use?

Most wallet software I've used was super easy. If you want to receive money, you give someone one of your addresses. If you want to send some money, you put in their address. (A billion times easier than figuring out what banking numbers you have to put in to your bank's website to send someone money, and then them worrying about whether that lets you withdraw from their account too.) The main problem is that some wallet clients are full clients that need to download the whole blockchain first, but being patient or switching to a lightweight client solves that.

It was a bit hard to first get bitcoin, but that's because of the hoops companies have to jump through to deal with the banking system. I'm not sure how an open decentralized system can make this part easier. That's up to the exchanges and banks. It doesn't make much sense to blame crypto-enthusiasts for being close-minded and ignoring issues they could work on.
Hey HN,

Today I’m launching Interview Insider, a site that shows the coding interview process at various companies.

I think that coding interviews are unnecessarily stressful and difficult, and people end up doing badly even though they’re good engineers. And I think that more transparency will help improve the process.

Here’s the main functionality at the moment:

* Filter companies by interview type
* Find out what to expect at your interview
* Read interview guides published by transparent companies

It’s a super MVP so I know there’s a bunch of issues, I’d love to get your thoughts and feedback as I work to improve it.
This was a fairly common project when I was in University, except we had to do Scheme in Prolog. https://github.com/FigBug/scheme

Prolog was a mind bending language. Some things that would be so simple in another language were so hard, and somethings that would be hard, were so easy.

I never really got my head around Prolog, just enough to get the assignment finished. But I do remember it as being one of the more interesting assignments I did, interesting enough that I've managed to keep the code for 20+ years.
