Oh the irony! Spotify claim in "Apple Won’t Let Us Share Spotify Deals We Know You’d Love" that Apple won’t let us share awesome deals and promotions — like 99c for three months of Spotify Premium...

Since Spotify have ~36% of the global market (Apple have ~19%) that could reasonably be viewed as predatory pricing.

It's also worth noting that Spotify charge as much as Apple and you can subscribe to the service without using IAP.

Completely agree. A pile of hashbrowns, (country gravy on the side), some sausage, eggs, and a waffle, are things that waffle house has perfected.

Just because Percolator was implemented to provide transactional isolation in an OLAP system doesn’t mean that the algorithm doesn’t apply to OLTP contexts.

FoundationDB and Percolator were developed independently, but the fundamental principal is the same.

I had the same thought as you about English. As should go without saying, non-native speakers of English are as welcome here as anyone. Indeed, we should all be grateful to them for the extra effort they're taking to be here. The idea that this is somehow incriminating is obviously absurd and shocking. So shocking, in fact, that I'm sure people don't realize what they're saying when they say it.
Last year I fled from Brazil to Georgia to spend time with my gf who's from the state and a Waffle House was the place of our first date straight out of the airport

Point #2 is so patently absurd its hard to take seriously. One, YC are themselves investors, and as far as I know they don't position themselves as causally inert in relation to a company's success / one of many indistinguishable and arbitrary alternatives.

Two, I don't think you will find many entrepreneurs who'd claim indifference around their investor choice. At the very least, this claim asks us to believe there aren't terrible investors who cause damage, which runs contrary to both common sense and history.

I already hated TurboTax before that story broke because of the horrendous DRM that blocks legitimate use. I had kept DVDs for each of several years I filed, then once when I went back to re-install a previous year to open the file, it wouldn't work. I even found the amazon sales email from that year and TurboTax support said there was still no way to use it, despite having original media and a sales reciept! NEVER AGAIN. I use FreeTaxUSA now.

ATS enables declaring the interface to C libraries to a very detailed level for proving. It can make using C libraries more safe than using them from C, once defined. Here is an example I wrote about how to make calling a C library safer from ATS https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/08/30/safer-handling-of-c-mem...
Did the results of this experiment differ from what quantum mechanics predicts? No? Then what is the point of publishing it? It's not as if different interpretations make different testable claims, or else they would be theories rather than mere interpretations.
My Waffle House story:

My girlfriend and I had spent three rough months trying to figure out how to date each other. Nothing was working. We were awkward and poor communicators and just generally not a good fit. We were going to a coffee shop to break up but figured we would see too many people we knew.

Break ups are emotional. So we escaped. To Waffle House.

I don't remember what either of us ordered, probably hashbrowns smothered and covered. It's not really my usual haunt. But the coterie of drunk waiters, more-drunk truckers, and government cheese served as the backdrop to one of the toughest conversations of our lives.

At the end of the conversation, we decided to give it one more shot. 7 years later, we're happily married.

I don't care what anyone says...Waffle House is magical.
I like the idea, certainly.

The trick is going to be getting news organisations to adopt it.
Posting anonymously as an insider from their advertising org: this is probably a play to fill an enormous data gap they have. Due to historical reasons, there's actually no mapping between brands and who sells those brands--that database literally doesn't exist, and without that data, their advertising offerings suffer. This move will allow them to rectify a data gap, and expand their digital advertising program by allowing them to more accurately understand and measure the relationship between advertisers, products, and brands.
Robotic tape libraries (like the StorageTek/Sun/Oracle SL8500) are standard.

However, the robotic part is not to swap parts in case of failure - instead, it is to let ~64 tape drives access ~100k individual tapes within the library and ~inf tapes in off-site storage (as the data stored is not, and _shouldn't_ be, directly accessible).

It's just too easy to find counter examples to this claim. Hard to take it seriously. I think the author was just very good at finding data points to fit his theory.

Take the movie "Shine", for example, from 1996. The story of David Helfgott. There's a dark side to be sure, but nothing like villainy. The classical music in that movie, in fact, comes to symbolize a kind of redemption or transcendence over madness -- not a succumbing to it.

As for the decreased symphony attendance, drawing a connection to his claim seems pretty outlandish to me. A more likely explanation is that the symphony as a live concert format is just really outdated. It was all the rage in the 1700s and 1800s in the western world. But that was a long time ago.
well, I don't know why this doesn't have more upvotes. It deserves them. This is literally the first time I've fallen in love with a programming language. It does all the things I'd want it to. Has all the positives of go without most of the shortcomings, is minimal and understandable, disallows 10.days.ago style magic without being overly limiting, compiles fast and makes small apps, something I really want in the age of bundling Chromium and Node with every hello world, and has a native GUI, so huge potential for accessibility. The only thing unnerving me is that Volt, the only publicly available app written in V, doesn't seem to be accessible which might indicate the GUI is not native after all.
Small farms like your aren't commercially viable for much longer (they already aren't in Europe, I'm not very familiar with the US situation, but I have no reason to believe it's different in the medium term). The constraining factor on milk production in Europe isn't land or capital or stock, it's 'nitrate rights', essentially the amount of nitrates you can put into the soil (top soil is already nitrate saturated so any additional leaches into the ground water). Any measure that reduces the amount of nitrates are a net productivity gain.

I did nitrate leaching/ground water hydrology modeling for New Zealand some 10 years ago, and even then there too dairying was starting to become constrained by its nitrate leaching effects (of course, there needs to be the political will to enforce the boundaries when safe cumulative groundwater nitrate levels are reached at downstream points, but that's a different matter). My point is, it's not just Europe.

As to your other comments in this thread about using other breeds, sure that's fine for small biological/organic farms, but not for large scale commercial operations. Milk production is just too low, and any energy the cow has to put into keeping warm doesn't go into producing milk. On top of that, modern breeds (the only ones that can keep up, production wise) are too weak to be outside this much. Of course there are ethical concerns with this, similar to people breeding dogs for example, but that's a concern at a different abstraction level than that of the individual farmer.
So the PDF seems to be $35.

But why NYT? Is it supposed to be an analogue for media coverage in general? Especially since it says that they looked at multiple countries.

There are some libraries for ATS, but it's not a well known language so there is not too many out there. ATS makes it easy to mix C by embedding it within ATS, and defining an interface that makes it harder to unsafely use the C API. Since it's so easy most people probably just do this when they need a C library.

There are wrappers for libevent which I've used for the network side of long running server side programs in ATS in this manner.

With regards to "Does it compile to JS", the answer is yes. There are backends for different languages, JS being one of them. There's also PHP and Erlang backends IIRC.
You can get Comcast Business service. That's basically what it is. They have very good support but costs a bit more.

Surely the article is midtoane when it used the unit kHz for the frequencies, the sine waves used were

> Low frequency: 25kHz

> Medium frequency: 200kHz

> High frequency: 1000 kHz

All of which are very high and well above the range of human hearing, so I think the units should be Hz instead.

Do we have a paper source for this?

Due to the designed complexity of our tax code the IRS cannot compute it both correctly and efficiently across the taxpayer base. Instead, they put the burden on the taxpayers, with stochastic validation and penalties (aka audits).

For my part, I hope someone out there is managing to claim those Ottoman Turkish Empire Settlement payments. All I know is that the Empire hasn't existed in 100 years but is something my tax code asks me about every year.
No it doesn't.

There are two widely used polynomials, IEEE and Castagnoli. These parameterize the CRC-32 algorithm, and are sometimes known as crc32 and crc32c.

The IEEE polynomial is used by Bzip2, Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), Gzip, MPEG-2, PNG, SATA, Zip and other formats.

The Castagnoli polynomial is used by Btrfs, Ext4, iSCSI, SCTP and other formats.

For better or worse, the hardware instruction computes CRC-32-Castagnoli, which means it's not relevant for e.g. Zip.

Not really no - employees are not fired if an evacuation is forced or if they can't get there because of a disaster.
The article explains how return-free filing already works in many countries and how it could work in the US. I know it's against the HN guidelines to comment on whether someone has read the article, but you clearly haven't read the article.

From a British perspective, the US tax system seems utterly bizarre, because most people here have never filed a tax return. Taxes for regular employees are deducted at source by the employer. Everyone has a tax code that reflects what allowances they are entitled to; if your circumstances change, you just call the tax helpline, inform them of the change and they update your tax code. Self-employed people do have to submit a tax return, but you can do it all online and the tax agency offers free training on how to do it.

There is literally no reason why salaried employees should have to do their own taxes.

I hope so hah. It would be nice if Apple made it so, instead of Siri saying "sorry i cant help you with that" she said "i dont know how to do that, can you teach me". And even if it were not really AI but macro-based, it would be better than nothing.

Am I reading it wrong? They don't fill the data in section MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

....The majority of our revenue is derived from midmarket and enterprise customers. As of January 31, 2019, we had more than customers globally, with [missing #?] customers having ARR in excess of $100,000, and [missing #?] customers having ARR in excess of $1,000,000. Our 10 largest customers represented approximately [missing #?] % of our revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, and no single customer represented more than [missing #?] % of our revenue in the same period, highlighting the breadth of our customer base. We serve a vital role in our customers’ digital operations and grow with them as their needs expand. As such, we have developed a loyal customer base, with total ARR churn representing less than [missing #?] % of beginning ARR for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019. Our ARR churn rate represents lost revenue from customers that contributed no revenue in the measurement period but did contribute revenue in the equivalent prior year period. We generally bill monthly subscriptions monthly and subscriptions with terms of greater than one year annually in advance.

Apple:

> Underneath the rhetoric, Spotify’s aim is to make more money off others’ work. And it’s not just the App Store that they’re trying to squeeze — it’s also artists, musicians and songwriters.

OP:

> Apple saying that it's "trying to make money of others' work" while ignoring that the App Store is doing exactly that on an unprecedented scale by restricting choice is truly ironic.

That sounds awesome! Congrats on the launch -
That semantics is indeed useless.

And to begin with, applications should never be interested in all record pertaining to a domain; they want specific records. If I'm sending mail, I want a MX record for a domain. I don't want the SPF record unless I'm receiving mail which implicates that domain. If I'm making a HTTP connection, I don't want any of these; I want an IP address. So no semantics of ANY is easily justifiable.

On the other hand, we can't claim that this semantics is hard to implement.

Support as a cost center...it's an interesting thing. My first computer related job while in college was support for a variety of Borland products. There were a few of us interns that ended up doing the work of senior support engineers - writing white papers, running training, etc. Interns were the "cost cutting measure" back then.

We were paid less, but knew the product and some evolved into well paid and challenging jobs with the company, some of us went elsewhere.

Local labor was used instead of outsourcing overseas or bringing in lower-paid workers.

At the time interns were paid pretty darn well.
Remind me of the amazon dash button.
