Great. Used it for probably > 25 bookings. Super easy to use, super helpful staff, and it seems to be actually cheaper.

Agreed that points and benefits not being given sucks, but that's the case with any 3rd party. HT's loyalty definitely adds up, though.
For those of us who are not aware of duality in auto differentiation (and haven't had a chance to read the above review), could you introduce the idea? Are you talking about forward mode vs reverse mode -- since I haven't pondered, what's interesting/deep about that?
A better description of your problem and what you're trying to achieve would get better answers.

I use the same organization on all of my machines.

Source code goes into ~/src/, each project in its own directory. In some cases I'll group projects by language in their own sub-directories, for example ~/src/lisp/

Music goes into ~/music/ with a sub-directory per artist, but some genres get their own sub-directories, with artist sub-directories under that.

Photos go on a dedicated external hard drive.

Books and PDFs go into ~/books/, or one of the topic based sub-directories underneath it.

Everything else goes into sensibly named sub-directories in $HOME. If I get a lot of similar directories (2018-taxes, 2017-taxes, etc.) I'll group them in a sub-directory.
I have the app installed for 2 years. I never got a room through them, but have tried every time I needed it. The rooms I ended up staying at were cheaper somewhere else.
If I am using voice traffic, it is very sensitive to routing delay. The total transit time that packet route takes is much more important than the amount of bandwidth I need to throw at it. If I am using an emergency service such as 911, that packet must keep going through regardless of other traffic congestion no matter how many people are streaming Netflix at the moment. Netflix itself is relatively immune to impact from group delay and doesn't need prioritization for reliability but it does require a large amount of bandwidth to be available in order for it to function properly. A packet, is not just a packet that can be simply interchanged if you want maximum performance out of your network.

Also you have the issue that sparked the large public prominence of Network Neutrality. Netflix was renegotiating their peering agreements and the ISPs were trying to soak them on the last mile costs. ISPs felt Netflix should bear the cost of network expansion since their service was generating all the traffic that they needed to upgrade to accommodate. Netflix felt the cost should be primarily carried by the ISPs. This has almost nothing to do with you as a consumer, but Netflix successfully branded it that way to garner public support. N.N. complicates adds a lot of uncertainty to what is legal to negotiate in a peering agreement between companies. L3 is probably going to be the big loser here, not Comcast.

And finally, because I see a lot of posts on this chain that don't understand what Power Factor is, it probably needs to be pointed out. A refrigerator has an inductive motor in it's compressor that it uses to chill the air. A toaster is a simple resistor. The inductive nature of that motor degrades the power network by transforming some real power into imaginary power (mathematical terms) and basically messing up the phase relationship on the distribution network itself. This ratio of real(useful) and imaginary(useless) power is called Power Factor and the power company measures it and asses a fee based on how much you screw it up. A typical household does not run enough of anything to noticeably impact the networks power factor so most consumers don't know about it but if you were running a hundred refrigerators you would absolutely be charged more than running a thousand toasters.

What does that have to do with packet networks? Well, when the traffic (electrical load) impacts the function of the distribution network, the cost is passed on to the user that generates that load. Not all Kilowatts of power consumed are equal.
Faster, or perhaps more features.
I wouldn't exactly call WeChat privacy-focused
This looks like the future. Who needs a fund anymore ?
i've never gotten a deal that good but generally find hoteltonight to be 25-50% cheaper (assuming booking within 3 days of arrival). i've stayed many times in SF for less than $100/night at nice (but not extravagant) hotels.
There is no harm in doing donuts in a parking lot with no shirt on either, but it isn't an image that Tesla needs in the current cultural climate.
At this point, i haven't actively used facebook for several years. I linger to stay somewhat connected to some family, some old lost friends, all that. But nothing totally active, It's lost (to me)
I question whether there's actually a stigma. I mean, it's legal in ten states.
I’ve been under the impression that some of the large sites force hotels to sign agreements, which prevent the hotel from giving better rates to other sites.

Found one article mentioning this [1].

Edit: but could be these don’t apply to last minute or same day reservation. Looks like for example Hotels.com best price guarantee excludes these.

It's always surprising when people openly admit to behaviour that puts their company in legal risk.
This seems pretty nice! Personally, for most cases, I would just fix the actual problem instead (long-running tasks) by either moving them to a Worker, batching the work or using some LOD algorithm to only run to work for the needed granularity. This would improve the UX a lot and is not something that you have to do to often anyway.
I wouldn't depend on Google for anything.

Maybe self-hosting needs to be made easier for the average person? The web has so much bandwidth now that there's no reason outside of potential security issues that people can't be posting more of their own stuff(like a web).
Add this to the list of reasons why you should not rely on cloud providers for anything you actually care about.
> Also, renewing certificate is not a thing.

Oh, no. We just kept renewing our EV certs with them for past several years... if only we'd known that we can't. Damn. Such an amateur shop this Digicert. Unacceptable.

Am I the only one looking at this announcement and going "holy shit"?

If we ignore the very well deserved Zuck skepticism for a moment, this kills Snapchat, almost immediately demolishes the wave of negative PR that Facebook is starting to drown under, gets ahead of the regulatory environment that's being put together, and also creates an Amazonesque platform which enables their core service and allows them to expand it dramatically.

Would I run a Discord competitor off FB servers if I knew they weren't snooping on my shit? Yes. Would I care that they use non PII to serve ads through the platform? Not really.

Would I run a slack competitor off FB servers if they weren't snooping on my shit and were enterprise data compliant? Yes. Would I mind if they occasionally sent me ads with enterprise services in my industry (ask me for it, and tell me it's to bucket ads!)? I'd probably welcome it.

They have the engineering talent and the resources to make this happen in a big way. But do they have the sincerity to make it happen? Probably not.
Patient: "Doctor Doctor, it hurts when I do this"
Doctor: "Don't do that"

This is arguing that there is a solution to manage a problem, and that because there are (caveated, external, third party) ways to manage it, there isn't a problem. Yes, there are ways to mitigate some of the problems of headers, but all the bookkeeping is part of the criticism.

And there's still duplicate definitions in separate places to keep in sync, you end up having to move all your code into headers if you want to make things generic (with compile time repercussions), and it's easy to mismatch header versions with the libraries for the same file.

Linking to the libX library for X.h is the least problematic of the header problems/criticisms.
Don't know the GP's intention, but coming from a small tourist-heavy city, it can really fuck with the local housing market and make an already dire situation even worse.

Also: What are the rules for flagging on HN? Can people not express opinions here?

For reference: GP was expressing worry that she can't use HotelTonight anymore because of not wanting to support AirBnb. Glad nobody needs to read that anymore...?
Not true. I recently tried booking a flight on Cathay Pacific. Their price was $50 more than Kayak/Orbitz. I asked how come? They said, Kayak/Orbitz buy in bulk from Cathay Pacific so, they offer some discounts sometimes. For cathay pacific, they guaranteed income, whether or not tickets are sold.
My experience suggests otherwise. System Integrators use the same parts I like but often get them for a discount.

I build my own systems because I like the constant incremental upgrade model. But when I recently had to help someone purchase a system I found it was hard to beat si prices with equally spaced hardware.
They are disclosing them, HT isn't including them in the prices they're showing the users though. C.f. the video I posted. What you see before I start scrolling is the entire screen that's visible to the user, with the Apple Pay button at the very bottom.
I'm really not trying to move the goalposts. It just seems weird to use the House to argue about the incredible effectiveness of the Republican's underhanded tactics--when they don't even control the one body where those tactics should help!

In any event, the House sits beside the Senate and the Executive. As another commenter pointed out, this case at best explains ~2% of the dynamics of one out of three legislative bodies offices. And sure, other states might contribute a bit more. Fine, maybe it clears my 1% threshold; but just barely.
I have only used them twice, both in 2016:

Booked a solid $134 room in Leicester Square at about 3pm same day. Went great.

Booked an $82 room at an EWR hotel, a little cheaper than other OTA rates including apaglobal. Went fine.

They seemed to have access to consolidator-style inventory at rates lower than I found in the markets where I was looking on the dates where I was looking.
They don't differ by consent. You might want to read up on how workers in the third world are actually treated.

And no, our grandparents weren't close to as poor. And the reason they got to live in prosperous countries is that those prosperous countries exploited the shit out of poorer countries. (For an example: Britain extracted ~$45 trillion from India during colonial rule)

Third world labor exploitation is continuation of colonialism by other means, free market apologists notwithstanding.

I take a somewhat similar approach, where I replicate standard Unix/Linux directories in my home directory: src, lib, etc, bin. It works pretty well, but has some limitations.

This is part of a short series on Centauri Dreams, starting with this article: https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2019/03/04/pondering-the-dys...

As it says in that article,

> Such concepts obviously imply an interstellar civilization capable of reaching the objects in the first place. But once there, the energies to be exploited would be spectacular.

The paper discussed in these articles is not proposing that we puny current Earthlings fire lasers at the closest binary black hole systems. It's exploring the possibility of getting close enough to such a system to make this technique useful.
But it was done in the open. How can it be used as leverage?

I cannot overstate my doubts enough. Can you point me to evidence (aside from Stacey Abrams' sour grapes) that this swung an election?
Given names is one of the most effective way to encode culture. We already know that individuals harbor some biases based on culture, so it's no surprise that there is some bias when people exchange names.

My mother explicitly gave me a "white sounding" name when I was born and in my experience changing your name is one of the most common ways that those from other cultures try to integrate in America and minimize bias.

There are many people in my corporation that are South East Asian but go anglicized names like: John, Kevin and Mary. They usually keep the family name though.
I don't think that was the point GP was making there.

I believe that they were trying to say that the people who go to college are more likely to be successful than those who don't, regardless of if they actually go to college or not.
This is a terribly written article:

>Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has been buying $10,000 worth of Bitcoin per week

>Speaking on the Tales from the Crypt podcast, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has revealed that he has been exceeding his weekly buy limit for Bitcoin

>Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has revealed that he has been exceeding his weekly buy limit for Bitcoin, purchasing $10,000 worth of the cryptocurrency every week.

The first three sentences contradict each other. Later we learn that $10K is the limit for purchasing bitcoin in the Cash app... is he exceeding the limit or not?

"has been" and "a week" indicate that something is recurring. Nothing in the article supports that. It just mentions that Jack claimed he had already exceeded his limit. That is one week.

Do we know that Jack has the same limits as his customers? The blog post just references a tweet that claims the limit is $10K/week. That's where the $10K in the headline comes from.

Listening to the referenced podcast doesn't yield any points for the "per week" side... Around 8:05 is the part they talk about and Jack says he exceeded his limit so he couldn't join in the #stackingSats drive the podcast is endorsing. Jack then says he thinks he can join tomorrow because his limit resets. I mean, it's a symbolic gesture, perhaps he will just buy his supposed $10K per week and say that $25 was part of #stackingSats who really cares... The point is this article and headline are poorly written.

It starts with a horrifying dive into '60s Revolutionary China, then veers off into an extremely surreal and nerdy anime plot, and proceeds on a very cool and foreboding sci-fi arc (I think; I don't remember how much of the sci-fi it has vs. how much of it is in the two sequels).
Lumping together alcohol, drugs and suicide is useless damn lies and statistics.
All the big brands get around this by offering cheaper pricing restricted to their rewards members reserving directly via the brands' website or call center, which is non commissionable. It's free to be a rewards member for all of the hotel rewards programs, so there's no reason not to go that way if your goal is to spend the least amount of money.

Edit: I'm going to have to retract my comments about cheapest price being on official hotel brand websites. I did a cursory search and find many cheaper options on Hotel Tonight (and expedia) for same day reservations than the brands, and while I haven't looked at all the brand's best price guarantees, at least IHG's exempts them from having to provide the lowest price within 24 hours of checkin, so it seems like a loophole to let them dump rooms for cheaper on third party websites day of arrival.
The tool looks pretty neat, but I don't think for average users they are able to "self-direct"; also, the ETF, many of the brokers, offers little to zero fee.
Conversely cache misses are painful and largely haven't gotten faster over the years.
Since others are listing their process, I'll document mine. I rarely drink any coffee, but I try to make a morning cup for my wife when I can. In return, she often makes me hot chocolate, which I prefer.

About once a year, we buy 20-30 lbs of green beans from http://sweetmarias.com at about $6/lb. Her preference is mostly for dry-process East Africans, but we also buy pounds of varieties from elsewhere that have words like "fruity" and "berry" in their descriptions.

About once a week, we roast an 8 oz batch or two in a Behmor Roaster (left over from a failed business venture). Roasts depend on the variety, but usually we try to stop somewhere between first and second crack. Depending on bean size and origin, this means 14:00 to 15:30 at P1A.

Then each morning, a portion gets ground in a Baratza Encore (at about setting 12), and put in a stainless steel filter cone (Bonzercraft from Amazon). Two cups of water is heated in a kettle on the stove. I add enough hot water to "bloom" the grounds when the kettle first starts to whistle (about 160F), then heat the rest of the water to about 195-200F. Then I start adding water to the filter, where it drips through at about 180F.

Over the course of a minute, I add the remaining water as the filter continues to drip into the cup. Meanwhile, I froth ~1/2 cup of cold whole milk in a Breville milk frother (set to about 140F). A minute or two later, the frother finishes at about the same time the remaining water drips through. Then I leave the milk and black coffee separate for her to combine when she comes down.
It's far easier, more scalable, and more secure now than it's ever been, and people quite simply don't want it. I wish it weren't so, but people prefer staying inside walled gardens to homesteading.

The fee is disclosed in the small print on HT. But it's not part of the total you pay to HT.
And if someone (unnecessarily, I presume - I doubt the drug had been a loss-maker while it was selling at a lower price) dramatically raises the price of a drug to insurance companies, where do you suppose the insurance companies will look to find the extra money?
Speed tends to be a factor people mention a lot with Aeropress, but I guess I'm not as busy as most people, because I rarely find myself in a situation where that difference of 2 minutes is a make or break thing. Once I factor in time for boiling water, it's like 5 minutes vs 7 for Aeropress vs a drip cone.
Heard about them but haven’t used them. If your experience is representative then I hope AB&B doesn’t ruin them.
The bigger brands don't offer any discounts compared to their official sites. They can change prices many times during the day, but the official brand's website will always be the cheapest.

Apart from the fact that that's not how I would choose -- I'm not even sure which one you're implying you would choose. Every name there would be filtered out by at least one -ism.
Avoid headaches by tapering/titrating yourself off the caffeine using no-doz pills (or equivalent caffeine based pills).

In the morning take a whole pill, and over say 10 to 15 days, linearly decrease the amount you take by using part-pills (ending with a nibble of a pill).

This has worked great for me twice now when I was about to go somewhere I wouldn't be drinking coffee regularly.

I also once titrated myself off coffee by using instant coffee. Day 1 is a full teaspoon, and decrease the amount slowly over many days.
OpenTracing began in 2015. It was accepted as a CNCF project in 2016.

OpenCensus began in 2018.

Don't get me wrong, it's better for Google and Microsoft to collaborate on OpenCensus instead of continuing to develop separate client libraries for Stackdriver and Application Insights. It would be lovely if AWS joined too.

I just want to point out that there was a lot of community effort and vendor adoption around OpenTracing by 2018 that Google chose to ignore. If you want to reduce fragmentation and reimplementation, criticize that decision, not the existence of OpenTracing.

While hand waving some concerns

Ps your social credit score just dropped
Hey, I'm interested to see someone who's actually in this specific line of programming comment! I'm pretty sympathetic to the general argument that interactions with websites aren't private because they're two-party interactions with the site, but there are a few things that trouble me that I'd be interested to ask.

First, I guess: do you think that users are broadly aware of how much they're tracked and ok with it, or do you think the tracking is alright independent of that? (This question is more relevant if you're on the "tracking browser resizes" side of things than "recording products in a cart".)

Second: do you have any worries about data that's tame in isolation or on average causing problems as it's gathered and shared - deanonymizing aggregate data, revealing pregnancies by shopping history, etc?

Third: do you worry about keeping identifiable data in existence more generally? Assuming you trust yourself and your partners, there's still the concern that maintaining data troves like these increases the attack surface for everything from hacking to government demands.
On multiple choice questions in mathematics (2008) – Terence Tao
That seems ... confused. AIUI, the "dark past" stuff comes up in SC review because of the possibility of being blackmailed. If it's not something that you're defensive and evasive and embarrassed about, it's not an issue. And I can't see why Musk would feel that way about his pot use.

That's not to say he's a shining example of someone you'd trust with secrets though. His impulsive tweets, where he can be easily provoked into saying very reckless things ... that seems like a much bigger strike against keeping a clearance.
This sounds amazing!
Self-hosting has become shamefully easy now with Docker Hub and cheap VPSen in the "cloud".

It really is a one-liner to spin up a new service on your server nowadays.
That's not for HT though, that's the hotel's policy and they take 100% of that charge. The hotel is choosing to advertise a room for $100 with a "hidden" $30 resort fee -- not HT.

Also, it's unfair to characterize it as a scam if it's printed clearly in the costs. It's your responsibility to read what you're paying for.
