I don’t know if Apple Music has to pay 30% to Apple, but either way It wouldn’t change my opinion and I don’t think it would make a difference to the EU. It’s illegal in most places to use your dominance in one market to your advantage in another. Google got fined by the EU for doing that with Android and Chrome/other GApps. I personally think Apple should allow developers to link to an external payment system for subscriptions/iAPs if they would rather set all that up themselves, but we’ll have to wait and see what the EU decides.
IMHO suggesting that OP delete their comment is giving that proverbial ball another nudge.
Another option would be a campaign to install bidets

That would be nice. I hate having to use public restrooms due to lack of bidet.
I highly recommend that anybody who loves SF and startup culture stay in the Bay Area. It's best for everybody.
While RTA, I was reminded of this from a few months ago:

No, it costs 100 euros to get a proper Windows license.
We are exactly competition with cc's since we are a digital bank offering a debit card, and checking/savings accounts.

We are targeting a different type of user that:
1. Do not qualify for a rewards card or have a dis-dain for credit (likely due to student loans & growing up during 08/09 crisis)
2. Not interesting to banks (yet)
I think it is great that people are working on solving problems like this. As a feed stock for other processes I'm guessing that the big win here would be use in a modified Haber process to produce bulk Ammonia which is used in a number of chemical plants.
I love Waffle House but I can’t convince my wife, kids, cousins or anyone else in my family. They just don’t get it.

But I don’t care, Anthony Bourdain got it:

(As long as I live, I’ll think of him every time I see a Waffle House.)
I felt so sad that the butterfly's habit was destroyed by so many people here.
That's actually pretty nifty. I think you should add another section to your landing page about security that mentions chips, mobile wallets, and virtual cards for online payments. Those are all factors I'd look at when shopping for a new bank account.
I've been thinking of this, especially in light with the tragedy in Christchurch today. I think this view is fundamentally mistaken in two important ways. The first is that as I said, when we pretend to be something we become it. When we argue for a position, even as a hypothetical or a joke, we start to empathize with it more. I think a lot of people start out joking about something and gradually begin to seriously believe it.

The second reason it is fundamentally mistaken is that it ignores the fact that there has always been a "trolling" aspect to far right discourse such as Nazism. Think of the racist carictures Nazi's or KKK members draw, they are meant to be taken "seriously not literally" as some have said of Trump. Reactionary politics goes hand in hand with intentionally trying to provoke a reaction, both of them have this shared idea of trying to gain power through provocation and the idea that the status quo is a sham. As Sartre said in Anti-Semite and the Jew:

"Never believe that anti‐Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument has passed."
rewards that are comparable to those of a credit card

But who pays for those rewards?

With a credit card, my rewards are a partial kickback of the fees charged to the merchant. Those aren't present in a debit transaction, which may have just a small per-transaction fee that doesn't vary with purchase amount.

Where does that money come from? Is the plan based on selling demographic or purchase history data to third parties?
Hah same for me. Though a politician who actually knows how to use a computer can probably do a lot more for democracy in the Senate than the oval office.

>It's not limited to Vietnam: 58% of Americans believe in Hell[1]. I'd call that widespread superstition.

The belief that shitty people will get what's coming to them through some external mechanism serves the useful function of allowing people to rationalize not engaging in settling scores and vigilante justice. I expect belief in the existence of hell to persist much longer than other "religious superstitions" (or whatever you want to call them).
So, distributed virus that keeps specialized factories around and ships products to other parts of the "world" is just another fact od life?
No, this law was proposed by NRW and Hessen, but if passed it would affect all of Germany.
So the moral is, instead of acting out at children in the moment, instead just stay calm and instil them with a mortal fear of the mundane.

I’m not sure how much I like that last part, and whether I feel little kids should be fearing they’ll get decapitated if they forget to wear their hats. That might make them less prone to emotional outbursts as adults, but then again so does a lobotomy and electrotheorepy, that doesn’t mean it’s a great idea.

I do however love the way this article frames parenting and culture and ties inputs to outputs in parenting. I wonder how well it holds up in practice, if you can say measssure the emotional responses of a hundred adults and use that to accurately estimate if they where scolded as children?

It does but most of california has been destroyed by pollution, toxic waste and trash.
That's besides the point. Individually, they don't have to agree on anything and still pose a danger.

What you can't say is that this is some sort of organization that poses a threat as such. It is a bunch of random people on the internet that do not know each other and that vaguely share certain beliefs.
Lately I've had an interest in documentary-style photography, particularly collections with themes such as this. The wonderful BBC feature "The Genius of Photography" helped drive this interest in me.

I feel like I have a strong appreciation for these Waffle House photos that I would not have had a month ago. This is really great.

Why would you dry with paper, when you can just use a cloth towel?
I think this is a terrible idea. You’re incentivizing users to publish "quick and dirty" junk they aren’t passionate about, in order to avoid fees.

In an era when you should be putting users first, you’re putting them last. Both your creators (since they now have to do something they don’t want to), and consumers (who'll be subject to more "spam"-quality listings).

How much do dormant user accounts really cost your platform? My guess is it’s pretty insignificant.
I'm sure the article/story about waffle house vista's is good, but I couldn't get into reading with the first picture of the piece that blew me away. The composition is fabulous. The clear window, reflection, highway, bridge, the lighting, the condiments on the table, the shadow on the seats.
Sorry, someone was saying something about food.
I feel like it's more likely that someone will just automate private intelligence gathering and sell it as "generating a reputation score for job/relationship/political candidates". Like the social credit system in China.
Yes and you also avoid a bunch of shit stains on your underwear aka skid marks
That's in the class of things we can't explain without ruining them, but I can at least offer a couple things. First, we're careful not to say anything beyond what we see in the data we have. For sure a sufficiently smart campaign is going to exceed our ability to detect it. But what can one meaningfully say about that? We have to stick to what our flashlight can show, and trust that it is at least more reliable than no flashlight. I can tell you that when it does light on an accusation of astroturfing, it nearly always tends against the accusation.

Second, some of the analysis can be done by anyone who wants to. When you encounter specific claims of astroturfing or shillage, look at the history of the commenter being accused. Most of the time their track record makes it implausible. If someone has been posting to HN for five years including about, say, garbage collection in Julia, what are the odds that they're secretly a foreign agent? Far lower than that the other user tossed off an accusation without pausing to look. It's usually not even a serious question.

Now consider that these demonstrably low-probability cases are exactly like the rest of the accusations people post here, and one has evidence for a common mechanism underlying the entire class. I don't assert (how could I) that there are no cases of genuine manipulation that fall outside it. But after looking at thousands of such claims, I believe that this and similar tests account for nearly all of them.

(Edit: it's different in cases of startups or projects trying to game HN to promote themselves; that's super common. And more sophisticated corporate astroturfing is something we've occasionally run into. But on these political, national, and ideological issues: zilch.)

There is also a huge discrepancy between the proposal from January and the proposal that is being voted on: https://www.internet-strafrecht.com/wp-content/plugins/downl...

A few highlights:

- Instead of "providing an internet-based service", the crime is now "facilitating access to an internet-based service".

- It is no longer a requirement that access to the service be restricted.

- The law now applies to all crimes, rather than just the specific crimes that were listed before.

The problem with AGI is not that it wants to run a human-like society sans humans (I don't think AGI wants war in a human sense), the problem is that it may have goals (like famous paperclip maximization) that are incompatible with human continued survival. Humans don't need to be "executed and disposed", they could simply be lost to habitat loss (eg oxygen rich atmosphere can be a pesky thing, why not strip it? or, temperature regulation needs, or whatever. It doesn't take much global terraforming to wipe out humanity inadvertently).
I have one in my home but don't understand using one in a public setting. That seems unsanitary to me.

Well, the Serbia of Radovan Karadžić and Slobodan Milošević had been militarily defeated and collapsed by internal revolution. They could then be arrested. I dread to think what the equivalent process would look like in the US.

I complain about C's safety all the time, but it isn't as if Dennis and others weren't aware of its shortcomings in that regard.

> Although the first edition of K&R described most of the rules that brought C's type structure to its present form, many programs written in the older, more relaxed style persisted, and so did compilers that tolerated it. To encourage people to pay more attention to the official language rules, to detect legal but suspicious constructions, and to help find interface mismatches undetectable with simple mechanisms for separate compilation, Steve Johnson adapted his pcc compiler to produce lint [Johnson 79b], which scanned a set of files and remarked on dubious constructions.

This seems like it is hard to justify as illegal only because the view is restricted to just two parties.

Blackmail is illegal because it leads to societal harm. Not because it leads to individual harm. That is hopefully a happy coincidence.
This sounds like the best thing since sliced bread language.
I don't mean to dodge your question, I just think it's very hard to answer. What I do think is that Socrates was trying to point out flaws in deeply-held beliefs. I don't think it's hard to argue that when pointing out flaws in deeply-held beliefs, the subject at hand will get angry -- or at the very least uncomfortable.

So, much like "no pain, no gain," anger and discourse often go hand in hand.

I'm of the opinion that trying to politically solve any humanitarian issue while the socialeconomic situation is still a clusterfuck would only result in yellow vests burning down your capital while a Trump expy gets elected. Better start investing into sea walls and squirreling away endangered species DNA because it's going be years before we untangle this clusterfuck enough to start slowing the train down

> This kind of story is often framed as a tug of war between Silicon Valley and the rest of the country. But Silicon Valley isn't going any where, and for every startup or founder who leaves the Bay Area, someone else graduates from Stanford or wants to move here. This is about tech becoming a bigger part of the overall economy.

Tons of classical is fun! The anvil chorus, the final section of Beethoven's 9th, whatever that really catchy portion of Carmen is! You (clearly) don't even need to be much of an expert to enjoy it.
Your contention is mistaken, I'm a big fan of Socrates.

That's why I gave examples of aggression that could be healthy or productive. A football game or a boxing match is an aggressive competition but one in which all participants contend voluntarily. Likewise, a debate or dispute can be quite heated but nevertheless proceed by mutual agreement. I distinguish these from cases where aggression is inflicted upon unwilling recipients.
I can vouch that Support & Customer Success has always been a first class participant in the company. One of the founders ran the team when it was small, and Ryan has done a great job growing it out -- to the point where their #1 problem is other PD teams poaching their people into other roles in Product, Internal Tools, Engineering and even Sales :)

How to Use Slack Incoming Webhooks from a PubNub Function
My armchair speculation finds it odd that there is no more discussion around unusually high airspeed and what is causing them early in the flight. E.g. it appears that both JT610 and ET302 hit ~300kts within ~2 minutes of flight[0][1] whereas on problem free takeoffs 300kts appears to be reached at ~4 minutes into the flight at around 10k ft[3][4][5].

So based on this, I would speculate that maybe there is some condition that leads to run-away thrust, makes pilots report 'flight control problem' about 3 minutes into the flight[5][6] and then the rest follows.

If the angle suggested above has already been investigated and there is some reporting around this - would appreciate pointer there.

That's a different sense of the word "hacker". I would have tapped the 414s. You might call them phreaks, but I think it spanned the gamut.
To anyone who might view the above as an objective or credible source: it's written by people in the GamerGate movement, and substantiates many of its assertions with links to Breitbart and r/KotakuInAction, among others.
I don't think you've substantiated your first claim just by linking to the Wikipedia article about predatory pricing. Even the Wikipedia article admits that the devil is in the details, as it were; it's hard to distinguish between anticompetitive pricing and competitive pricing.

You're correct that Apple Music may be a loss leader, but even if it is a loss leader, there's significantly more nuance involved before we can declare it to be predatory pricing.
These should better be referred to as "so-called 'flushable' wipes". I'm not sure you could really get a FTC action to prevent the word "flushable" being used my the manufacturer (after all, technically you trvcan flush lego or an M-80 down the toilet) but it's really terrible that they continue to print that phrase on the box.

Why don't they have the same problem in Germany where the use of wipes is extremely common?
I wonder how does human perception of contrast plays into this, because it varies quite bit with the hue, and HSV doesn't capture that.
The whole problem is they make massive blobs ("fatbergs") in the pipes and thus never get anywhere NEAR the plants.
The problem is that California has the flu and people think its cancer. Getting the flu sucks but you're probably not gonna die. I remember forest fires as well as mudslides in CA back in the 1970s. Perhaps the last few years were an extreme, but note that going to that extreme and back took about a decade. Most people haven't been there long enough to know what normal is and just buy in to all the media hype.
What you're proposing is out of touch with reality. Compensation is based on value added, but also based on geography. Bartenders in South Dakota don't make the same as bartenders in San Francisco for a reason, though they add the same value to an establishment.

To you an employee it makes no sense.

To an investor it does.

Human history is filled with stories of seeking cheaper labor.

Have you not been following the anxiety over offshoring? Why did all that manufacturing go to China?

Cities in America used to be the centers of manufacturing and then it moved to rural areas. If you research it you might find like I did that cost of living was cheaper in rural areas. And a lot of businesses decided moving to and building a new factory in a rural area, which happens infrequently, and hiring more people who worked for less was cheaper over the long run.

SF is one data point, but folks who were already priced out there are in Seattle and Portland, etc., pricing out others who have to go somewhere.

Maybe the first generation of workers will make bank due to lack of capable workers, but others will join the trend of moving, rural populations of folks capable of this work will grow and work for less.

I don’t have concrete numbers around how soon or how many people will move, because I can’t predict the future, but the general pattern has happened over and over in just 150 yrs.

And the parallels to ancient empires conquering a new land and enslaving the people to grow the wealth of the king or whatever mean the idea goes back further. It only got wrapped in our contemporary language of economics in the last 150-200 years.
I think Serdar Argic is possibly the earliest example of a kind of troll that is being discussed in this article, someone who drops in to new places when they are discussing something even tangential to their hobbyhorse and dropping in their screed.
