I mostly agree with you, but I think your examples might miss the mark a little.

Craigslist charging employers to post job listings doesn't seem like it would have much of an impact on the consumer market. I'd guess that the business-to-business expense in this instance probably isn't significant enough for it to be passed on to the (employer's) customers or impact their experience.

Restaurants probably don't take as large of a chunk of their revenue or have as many restrictions placed upon them by Grubhub as Spotify does by Apple.

Amazon, on the other hand, is probably the closest comparison. However, I suspect Amazon's services to their sellers involve greater capital and operating expenses than the services Apple provides to their sellers. Both companies need to spend money on tech infrastructure, development, and support. In addition to this, Apple needs to employ reviewers to act as the gatekeepers of the App Store and possibly buy hardware for those reviewers to use. In contrast, Amazon needs to build/purchase/rent warehouses, employ warehouse workers, and purchase warehouse equipment (forklifts, etc.).

Amazon also doesn't take a cut of, for example, Microsoft's subscription fees if someone orders an Xbox and subscribes to Xbox Live. This might be different for Amazon's app store for their Fire OS devices, but I'm guessing you were referring to their general marketplace.

To be fair, I probably don't know enough about any of these markets for my opinions to hold much weight, but I'm not sure if the examples you gave really line up with the situation between Apple and Spotify. But I definitely agree that it's important for people to try to remember to stay unbiased with these things.
> They should have designed the MCAS system to recognize when the pilot was fighting it and to disable itself.

Well "fighting" sort of begs the question, but the MCAS system was by design supposed to only activate in tandem with a pilot's actions, so it can't really work like an autopilot. It supplied stabilizer trim while the pilot was controlling the plane in order to make the ascent feel the same as the older 737's, since the different engine position on the Max 8 would otherwise make it behave differently.
It seems like there's a never ending barrage of 'news' around this. All of this is speculation at this point though. Investigation takes time, which is almost unusual in a time of minute by minute updates on absolutely everything.

I would not be surprised if the cause ends up being more complicated than the currently suggested causes. There's definitely a lot to suggest that the cause of the Ethiopian and Lion Air crashes is the same, but the current explanation seems overly simplistic.

The failure modes in the leading theory for the Lion Air crash were a broken AOA sensor causing the MCAS to kick in erroneously, combined with the pilots not reacting properly to a runaway trim situation. From what I understand, while MCAS is new, the process for reacting to runaway trim is not new to the 737 Max. This is probably also why the FAA and airlines like Southwest were confident their pilots would handle this situation correctly.

For the cause of the Ethiopian crash to be the same, the pilots would also need to be unfamiliar with the runaway trim process. This seems unlikely though after the Lion Air crash since it put so much attention on that scenario. That suggests to me there might at least be other contributing factors to both these crashes. I think we just need to wait and see what the investigations of both these crashes find.
Hi!

You're correct $0.01 = 1 point.

Initially points are redeemable for cash-back, eventually we will partner with different merchants where you will also be able to redeem points.
On a serious note - I think this is inherently about managing emotions, responses, triggers etc. 'in the moment'. It's ultimately a social issue, not one which can be driven with data as we would like.

It's driven by data which was processed by our ancestors, even before they were fully sentient. There's no sense in not considering that "data as we would like." It's as much a part of us as anything else.
Is it just exam anxiety? Or STEM anxiety? It seems to have the same root cause as STEM supremacy, or some bias opinions towards liberal art majors.
ZenHub Co-founder here. On behalf of the ZenHub team we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge all of the incredible work by the Waffle.io team (past and present) over the past four years. We have nothing but respect for the team and want to wish them all the best in their next adventures!

While Waffle and ZenHub are competing products in a way, we both share similar views on the importance of project management being developer-first. It's been a fun journey building in the space along side Waffle and we continue to remain excited about the future of project management in GitHub!

I'm not sure the article OP is being disingenuous. It's a thread _specifically_ about Lyft's costs - and Lyft is clearly at a scale where they would NOT be colocating.
Australian toilets frequently have two buttons, one for a small flush (for urine) and another for a larger flush. "No flushing" is hardly the only option.

California needs to tackle water usage. There are reasonable changes that can be made in homes and towns - swapping to drought-resistant gardens instead of lawns, rain barrels to catch run-off, absorbent parking lots that don't drain out to the sewers, etc.

Agriculture also needs to be tackled, sure. That doesn't mean saving a percent here and there is of no use.
You can say the same about Twitter and Facebook. In fact, the guy had a Twitter where he posted guns and ammunition with slogans on it, days earlier. Had it received more attention, this could've possibly been prevented.

That's not true, and it's notable that you had to create a new account just to make this FUD claim. Those murderers may all have used Twitter and Facebook to try to disseminate their idea vomit, but they were radicalized and incited by 4chan and/or 8chan. Also, Twitter and Facebook make the effort to remove those posts once they are made aware of them. 4chan and 8chan revel in keeping up those promote, and even promote them to show just how "free speech" they are.

It's a bunch of anonymous people posting crap, often for shock value. Sure, there's incitement on there, but nobody takes anybody serious.

More than a dozen mass murderers in the past few years took 4chan and 8chan seriously enough to murder hundreds of people. Mass murder might be an abstract concept to basement dwellers, but I know people who were shot at in the Santa Barbara, Vegas, and Thousand Oaks shooting, and it sure as fuck isn't an abstract concept to me or the thousands of other people who knew the victims of those shootings.
It gives him at least a touch of credibility in a time where the Democratic primary voters increasingly turn on CSPAN to watch Congressional Committee hearings and watch as a vast majority of their 535 representatives butcher basic facts about technology that they internalized since teenagers. Given the rapid pace of technological development, I don't see this as a negative, assuming he didn't do anything more nefarious than phreak or pirate as a kid.
They’re just being pissy.
"wrote a murder fantasy in which the narrator drives over children on the street" doesn't sound particularly pro-Beto to me?
I must be very unique then. As someone who flies often and cares about making it there, I _have_ been booking recent flights to not take MAX aircraft, even at the inconvenience of multiple legs.
Been there. At some point I both became too sick of the nonsense of working in dysfunctional orgs and had enough saved to not worry about money too much. Leaving the contracting game seemed like obvious choice at that point.
I disagree. California's green car incentive drove most companies to invest in green car tech as a toy, but it was always a hobby. A side project for R&D.

Car manufacturers never took green cars seriously and never felt the need to transition large amounts of their cars from gas to green. It was only when Tesla started making a splash that car companies took electric cars seriously.
Activities that involve intense focus / physical skill (precision/dexterity, force) are probably the most beneficial to us. Blending sensory feedback loops with more abstract understanding massages your brain so nicely.

I don't know how society will adapt to climate change but if that implies more refined craft for the average joe, I'm not worried a bit that that part will be an improvement.
That might be something that varies regionally.

In the usage I'm familiar with, "cow" specifically means a female who has given birth. As opposed to heifers, who haven't. The general term for any member of the species would be cattle (both singular and plural). You might use "cows" to more generally mean any female cattle, but using it to include males of the species, too, would be understood as humorous.
It's not the naming convention; the name just matches the certification/rating scheme.

The substance of keeping the rating consistent has to do with how the plane operates, the flight controls, etc.

There are potentially perverse incentives here, but it's not as trivial as that.
Corporations don't directly give money to candidates. Beto has taken donations from employees of oil and gas companies.
I don't, since there have been several acts of Islamic terrorism in Europe these last years and they weren't enough to change anybody's opinion. I don't believe this particular case is enough to make people support censorship on the Internet. To me, this is simply hypocrisy.
FOR ME. It's not just about money but freedom, both with your own productos and your life. I like being able to go sailing/kayakin/running/mountain biking/fishing/etc when I want.
> That will certainly be brought up in the campaign, but it was brought up in his House races and the Senate race and didn't seem to have much of an impact.

A very actively contested Presidential primary isn't the same thing as a House or Senate race, and he didn't win the Senate race, either.
My Model 3 was purchased the last week in October and has severely uneven fittings and gaps that are getting worse with time. I think the whole gap thing is generally myopic and stupid but this is really remarkable.

They had serious problems with the autopilot, which also disables MCAS.

I'd say a spotty record is probably worse...
That applies as much to Android, or any other phone, as it does to Apple though. It’s just the nature of the market, not some perfidious Apple plot. There’s just nothing substantive here.
Ban the TV, throw people in jail for watching.
Have you never been to a board other than /pol/? There's plenty of other harmless exchanges going on. 4chan is not primarily a political site.
Sometimes. But most of the time it's a non-disclosure agreement, a settlement agreement, or any number of other perfectly legal agreements between two parties.

Cloudflare once again pushes for broad changes to the way the net operates that benefits themselves and other centralized corporate players without any benefit to individuals that actually use the net in the sense of using the internet and not just a web browser.

The kind of exploration and direct learning that was possible when I was a kid growing up 90s/00s is slowly being phased out as the money seeps in.
The original scenario you're responding to is the problem of people who don't have a driveway or garage. They'll need to take their car somewhere that they can get a full charge while they do something else. Not an insurmountable problem, but it's definitely an impediment to universal adoption.

We should also keep in mind that "Buddhist countries" probably are as Buddhist as "Christian countries" are Christian which is not much.
> I work with a lot of people from mainland China and I have not once gotten the impression of any generic sensitivity to criticism of China.

Those kind of reactions often, but not always, get muted the longer the person is exposed to more diverse perspectives outside of the mainland.

There's also a cultural trait in China where you strongly defend your in-group against criticisms from an out-group, even if those criticisms are valid. I have a Chinese friend who considers his mom to be kind of lazy (and tells her so), but if someone from outside the family made the same criticism, he'd strongly defend her as a hard worker. The same thing is true of criticisms made by non-Chinese of China.
1. You are trading very closely to their mark (financial services), leaving yourself open to these litigation issues from day one.

2. If you succeed, you'll have to rebrand. You have a lousy and confusing name and domain (sorry for being brutally honest). We see this all the time. Rebrands are expensive as hell.

3. If you fail, it will be largely due to naming.

Can't believe YC didn't tell you that ahead.
Engineering managers?

Are there any non tech management level positions at FAANG that net these types of salaries as well?
When Mark started running it it was a Bitcoin exchange. Everyone banters about the origins of the name, but all they really did was reuse a domain name.
So, is your point that using a Stable Marriage solution is ok and realistic in the real world, but a Marriage variation is impossible and dumb?

All of the OPs complaints about the Marriage problem apply to the Stable Marriage problem, and yet, the real world doesn't seem to care that the OP thinks it shouldn't work. People use it anyway, and it largely works.
The difference is that AOC/Trump use social media to drive the news, bottom up.

Old-school politicians use the news to try and drive social media and public sentiment, top down.

Right now Beto seems a lot like Hillary, using the traditional approach of PR driven puff pieces to try and capture attention. Meanwhile the AOC/Trump populists use a direct channel (Twitter) to bypass the media and have a conversation directly with their hardcore fans. And then that conversation works its way out into the mainstream media.

But he had only been a 737 Captain since Nov 2017 [1]. And graduated from flight school in 2010. It's unknown what the distribution of the 8000 hours are. For all we know, he had 6000 hours on the Q400.

Traders operate on all kinds of time scales, and most trading is done based on algorithms that account for the fundamentals more than of-the-day news. It's likely that holding SW is good for the long term as people make more money and continue to fly more.

And they should have the MCAS rely on two AoA sensors and deactivate when there’s disagreement or perhaps ring a warning. IIRC Southwest Max’s have something like that, but it’s not a factory default (which is astonishing to me)
This is great. It's so important to try to push for improvements externally, rather than just sucking it up and implementing onerous workarounds.

It doesn't always work out, but this sounds like a good and reasonable outcome this time. (Though it's their blog, so of course it sounds that way!)
...were successful in making car manufacturers wake up and go electric.

Nissan Leaf owners find it cute that one would think that. And though a hybrid, I think Chevy can get a little credit on that one, too.
Just saw this after I commented, but I think the chances of that are quite high. I would imagine pilot error is somewhat less likely since so much attention was drawn to MCAS after the Lion Air flight.
I wouldn't call it myopic when a base Toyota Corolla has less squeaks, rattles and fitment issues than Tesla Model 3's and S/X's

this is it? any reason for the toxicity? poor moderation?
All upvote/downvote based social media is inherently toxic to public discourse and extremely manipulable. Something major was lost in the transistion from BBS and forums to this insanity we have now. It used to be that long form discussion and nuanced viewpoints were the norm. If someone had an opinion you disagreed with, you could either refute it or ignore it, not make it dissapear. Now everything thoughtful or balanced in any way is buried under a mountain of “gotcha” quips, and moral certitude, bot or not.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, it's definitely something we will keep in mind as we grow.

Appreciate the brutally honest feedback, it's usually the best kind :)
If the urine goes on the field, then the farmer gets to dispose of it for free.

If the urine gets collected in tanks, suddenly it's hazardous liquid waste and very expensive to dispose of. The farmer couldn't just dump it in a river!

Unless a commercial use for cow urine can be found, or laws changed, I can't imagine this product going anywhere.
> Noteworthy is that cows visit the CowToilet voluntarily. The visit to the toilet is combined with the receival of their daily portion of feed.

"Voluntarily"... right
"There's also the pacing issue"

Very true. When we started doing algebra I simply didn't get it until my older sister sat with me. After a few weeks I went from total failure to saying "algebra is easy". Without my sister I probably would never have caught up.

I have similar concerns, although my wife and I have sworn off using credit cards due to candidly our lack of discipline paying the balance off in time. Do you think things like Apple Pay with the virtual cards provide that layer of security?

To any bank out there: I think if you offered a debit card that is backed by "virtual money" rather than the cardholders physical account, you would get my business in a heartbeat. The primary difference between the OP's answer is when your debit card is compromised, you are on the hook until the investigations are completed and still it is not a guarantee your funds are recovered.
France does not burn its waste in nuclear plants. Use of MOX fuel in thermal reactors doesn't count, as it only uses a fraction of the produced transuranics, and cannot then be recycled into more MOX fuel. And of course it doesn't do a damned thing to fission products.
Part of the author's point (you have to dig for it) is that we do live in a world where blackmail is allowed.

It's comparable to a highlander / pilot, which appears to be the main competition here.
I've heard the same horrific shit in casual conversation in numerous pubs in the UK in the last 30 years and the people in there certainly don't know what 4chan or 8chan are. In fact the horrible things pre-dated the proliferation of internet connectivity.

This isn't a specific platform problem but a problem with a subset of humanity.

The Lion Air pilot had 6,000 hours of flight experience, and the co-pilot had 5,000 hours of flight experience.

Also, these same airline pilots in developing countries have managed to fly the older 737 models just fine, for decades...

How can I not be angry as a teen? (depending on circumstances and truama as a child and childhood).

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

I am mad jealous of children whose parents made them do outdoor activies. Heck I wish I wasn't even born (can't suffer again neck fracture, unless a gun does the job I live on). I am mad jealous at other rich spoiled kids. Heck I am mad at useless bullshit jobs. Heck I am mad at meaningless cosmological nihilism that we all try to avoid. Heck I am mad for being a nobody without any social life, hobbies and even failing at exams.

I do not know if anger helps you fight your circhmstanced or is just detrimental?

Ya but in the end they always delivered. The 35k model 3, scaling up manufacturing to over 5k cars a week, not going bankrupt. They missed the deadlines but eventually they delivered as promised.

Why is missing their self-imposed deadlines such a big deal to you, but the fact that they delivered later on, something that you gloss over entirely? Those were huge goals that they delivered on, that most critics said was near-impossible to do.

It wasn't that long ago that critics were calling Elon a fraud for offering an electric car for 35k, that it can never be done because the cost to build one cannot be under 35k, and that Elon was a car salesman scamming people for pre-order money. And now it's done, the 35k model 3 is delivered, and people are focused on what, missed deadlines they self-imposed in the past? Is that really the most important issue here?
> The reason we don’t see larger banks offering debit cards with rewards is because of the "Durbin Act”; a federal mandate which slashed interchange margins of banks with more than $10 billion in deposits. This was done in order to protect consumers and merchants from increasing and predatory prices that banks were trying to instill.

OOC, will this limit your growth in the long-term? What happens if you grow beyond $10B in deposits? Is the plan to partner with other small regional banks that have less than $10B in deposits, and does that circumvent the "Durbin Act"?
