Ive always wanted a better credit card to be honest. Something that had a insane amount of transfer partners, similar to how the starwood preferred guest card used to be. Something as simple as 1 point per dollar on everything and 2 points per dollar on dining/gas. The ability to also throw in the benefits that amex/chase cards offer would also be awesome (lounge access, return protection, roadside assistance, etc..) - I would switch to a card like that instantly. Im currently stuck putting all my spend on a American Airlines card, just because all the other options suck.

Now, with that said. I wouldn't use this product. Its not listed what the 'points' they give you do, so i can only imagine its nowhere near the value of being able to transfer them directly to airline or hotel partners. Im guessing its either a built in travel portal redemption they host or simply cashback. Either option is pretty garbage compared to other redemptions.

The interest is standard if you have a private bank, so its nice they give it to common folk, although i think many banks offer this now.

But most importantly, Using a debit card is risky. It lacks the chargeback and other protections a credit card has. (I could be wrong here, but I know it used to be this way a few years ago)

Anyways, dont take this as a negative guys. If anything, please continue improving your product and I will be a user. As it stands though, Its still lagging behind existing players.
Well, 5 9's are 5 minutes of disruption an year. Drivers won't be able to get into Uber on that timeframe. 4 9's would be 50 minutes an year. Unless it is all concentrated on a couple of events it may not even make the clients time-out.
I'm reading it right now and enjoying it. Overall the way I view these books is if I get something from them that is worth more to me than the $15 or so they cost it is of value, I don't have to agree with or implement everything in them whole hog.

>lower fees which will probably go straight into the pocket of the developer rather than result in lower prices.

That's not how pricing works for most goods. Some money will go to consumers and some will be captured by devs. Even the money captured by devs is better for the customers than going to Steam in the long run. The vast majority of Indie devs aren't wealthy. More money in developers pockets means more and better games.

> they prefer their benevolent dictator over profit craving publishers.

Steam is already catering to profit craving publishers. They are lowering their take for large games. The only people left paying 30% are the small indie devs.

I took six months off to sit on a beach and write a bit of code, answer to nobody, and I'm not so sure. (I made https://6gu.nz, if it's still up...) I learned that corporate project management isn't the problem. I am the problem.

Sometimes I'll take a little short-cut, because an innocuous little hack that adds a constraint or assumption seems like better value than going the long way round. Sometimes the design changes as you figure out new ways the product can/should work to be cooler, and old abstractions are no longer useful, or new abstractions become useful, or data that lives over here now needs to get aaaallll the way over there, God Dammit. All abstractions leak, and the first design is never right.

And maybe it's fine, because I wrote it all and I can rewrite it quickly enough, but in the real world we can't just go and rip up that code because we don't have the muscle-memory for it, and because of Chesterton's fence.

Maybe good code is code that can be deleted easily, or rewritten without fear. Maybe it is code that has been rewritten enough or has survived long enough to embody some kind of wisdom. I know that it is simple, and that it makes the life of its user simpler.
I’m by no means an expert—or even an expert amateur—but I’ll try until someone with more knowledge comes in!

All of the technical regulations are set in advance of the season (this year’s is https://www.fia.com/file/78015/download/26184). The teams are only allowed to test their cars during a fixed number of “test days”, so they do a _ton_ of simulation pretty much all the time (https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/04/formula-1-technology/).

The chassis (the tub that the driver & engine sit in) doesn’t change much over a season, so the time will be occupied by the team finding ways to move and re-shape things like front and rear wings, so as to increase downforce.

Downforce is king because it allows you to make sharper turns at higher speed without understeeting (where the front refuses to turn) or oversteering (where the back refuses to stop turning). And the technical regulations are really finicky about many areas of the car. And in many ways, the three “free practice” sessions before qualifying are as much about in-season development as they are about getting used to the track.

Yes, as drivers get time in the real car, they begin to understand where they can push. But also the engineers are seeing how the car is responding during real-world conditions, to feed that into the simulation.

In China they banned all stores from selling butcher knives simply because it was commonly used as a weapon in a fight or to kill someone. If you happen to need to chop some meat at home then you are out of luck as this knife just cannot be purchased legally in store. This case here is pretty much using that same stupid logic.

What’s that noise? That’s you getting lynched by those of us who work for a living.
My understanding is that the wash from old designs would reduce downforce for cars that follow, which in turn would slow them down and make it harder to overtake. This made for less interesting racing.

The new regulations are intended to promote overtaking. Teams of course are trying to maximize downforce within the new regulations.

PagerDuty is super expensive. With Slack or another messaging app, you just need a system that will support a schedule and route to engineers appropriately as well as post to the slack channel. A lot of the bells and whistles they have aren't useful. Engineers never need to actually use the Pager Duty website and only use the app for ack'ing the page or just do that in Slack.

This feels like it should be more of a commodity. E.g. a service like OpsGenie can undercut them.

$100 a month per user on their enterprise plan is insane for what they offer: https://www.pagerduty.com/pricing/

It's interesting to me how views are so polarised. I once asked a professional cook where the best restaurant in town was and she said she mostly just ate at WaHo. I had seen the Bourdain clip. So when I finally went there the first time I was predisposed to like it. And it was just disappointing.

The syrup, for example, is basically high-fructose corn syrup with added flavouring. So is the ketchup. I didn't sample the entire menu but the overwhelming impression was of it being composed of the cheapest edible food-like substances known to science. It didn't feel to me like a time machine back to an era of cheap-and-cheerful diners that served real honest food, but rather depressingly contemporary.

And yet there must be something there. Something that prompts folks like you to genuinely see it as not just a chemical amalgamation, even though by any objective standard it really is. Something that I missed. (The place was deserted at the time when I went, so maybe that was it.) Something that makes me still wonder if I should go back and search for it, even though I don't know what I'm looking for.
I think you might have replied to the wrong person. I agree with you.
A 90% federal bracket, combined with 10+% State tax (ex: 12.3% top bracket in CA), combined with no deduction for State and local taxes (because only standard deduction right?), would mean you’d literally lose money by making more money.

there is a very broad definition of the arts here. It’s really the entertainment industry:

>But the largest economic impact nationwide came from the usual suspects: broadcasting, which generated $127 billion in economic activity; followed by the motion-picture industry, which accounted for $99 billion; and non-digital publishing, with $77 billion of economic activity. The “arts-related retail trade”—which includes everything from art galleries to book stores—generated $51 million in 2015. But the arts-related retail trade employed 767,000 people to “provide arts and cultural goods and services,” making it the second-highest-employing industry in the arts and culture sector.

"To enroll, brands need to provide a government-registered trademark number."

I had heard some US sellers get a trademark from a foreign country since the process is often faster and they can then enroll in Brand Registry sooner. But does anyone know if you register with a non-US trademark, can you then still sell that brand in Amazon's US market ? Or is it only the region/country that issued the trademark ?
couldn't we lobby for it? /s

this is not okay, it's not okay to take money from normal people "because you can and if you didn't someone else would do it".
There’s an interpretation that keeps observer as the central element. It is not as popular as many worlds or Copenhagen but I find it very intriguing. Check out QBism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Bayesianism?wprov=sf...

In QBism, the Born rule is normative in that it tells the observer which observations to bet on, and observations are data points to update the observer’s subjective assessment of outcomes. Taking this perspective, a lot of paradoxes in QM seem to get resolved trivially. It’s controversial for sure but mathematically it’s rigorous.

The notion that the Bay Area contains all the wisdom about high-growth, VC-backed success, if true, seems to me like a great opportunity for those who have been successful at it in the Bay Area to consult for those who want to replicate it for the rest of the country.

It may well be more lucrative for those people to stay put and startup again, but there’s certainly a tier of people who are craving adventure and would much more enjoy sharing their blueprint for success with Austin, Boulder, Atlanta, SLC, Portland, on and on.

If I were a big VC firm (and sure, this might be a good reason why I’m not), I’d be forward-deploying my analysts and recruiting a class of EIRs from the flyover states. It’s a new flavor of alpha for VC: sourcing dealflow from the entire US.

Ask HN: Annual Bonus Time, Team's Not Happy
I'm a manager of a team in a large company. Annual raises came out. I had a pool to divy up, which I did, and then my recommendations were ignored by higher management. The pool went else where, and my team got scraps.

This team is quite good, they really kicked ass last year. A lot of overtime on a very high profile project. Feedback I got was they expected more, and I did to.

So question; how to handle this? Worst case is I lose some people. Well maybe that's not worst case, maybe worst case it they disengage.
I think that is a great idea. something like typescript? Do you have a repo you can share?
“Why you’d quit?”

Canada here... The government pretty much already does your taxes here, and will 'readjust' your taxes if they feel you made a mistake. I've never understood why they still make you go through the process. Such a waste of time.
This is a tough situation. I'm hoping this discussion gets some traction because I would love to get some feedback from others in the community.

> I had a pool to divy up, which I did, and then my recommendations were ignored by higher management.

Did you raise this back to higher management?

> Worst case is I lose some people.

The cost of losing a good person is much higher than whatever raise they might have gotten (in most cases). I would reiterate this point to the higher-ups.
I didn't say code with no business requirements; I said code with no requirements. Nothing it's actually bound to do. Pure description, not of what's useful but of what can be beautifully expressed. I've done a bit of coding like this just to see, and it was an interesting exercise.

No, Scientists Didn't Just Reverse Time with a Quantum Computer
You've been quite fortunate. Perhaps you picked the best places and the best times to travel. During rush hour, most people in Colombo are on a hair trigger -- all it takes is a small incident to start a shouting match. In contrast, I recently traveled to Texas, and found Texans to be incredibly chilled out and friendly by comparison. Perhaps it is a cultural perspective.

There are many fights and tense situations, but more in places like inner city Colombo than in Kandy or Galle.

RE: suicide: hard to say. Our alcohol consumption and suicide stats are both extremely high. But even after living here all my life, it's hard to pin down a theory about why this is. My personal belief is that the average Sri Lankan's belief in Karma and astrological fate results in a defeatist attitude. We often hear the phrase "I/he/she probably did something in a past life to deserve this" in reference to tragedy, hardship or misfortune.
If Wiegner knows the outcome he has no reason to use the entire superposition formalism of quantum mechanics as there is no uncertainty to constrain.
Are you being intentionally obtuse? I just described two ways. There's Right of first use, Riparian rights, and my pet illustrative example of treating it as a publicly held asset to be sold... There's other ways beyond those three, but the first two are how ownership is assigned in the US today.
That is the sane reaction after learning some quantum physics, but the answer is that no, it doesn't exist on both states.

It is easier to understand if you look at photons position. Try to calculate the interference between any two waves, and compare to the odds of finding a photon somewhere it they were dispersed proportional to the waves amplitudes at the start.
Ah, I knew this rang a bell.

Reflecting on this a second time, I wonder whether it is possible to interpret this as the universe not caring until the information interacting actually matters. For example, if someone tells me that they have measured a value, they could very well be lying, and until I say "prove it, what value did you measure?" the underlying implementation of the universe is in a superposition where they both did and didn't measure the value (where the friend is telling the truth vs lying).

You’re right. And I think the reason why rich people don’t “stay in their lane” is because we are limiting the supply which causes higher classes to go after resources traditionally reserved for lower classes.

The video in the comment you replied to is excellent I think. And it doesn't involve any sort of hand waviness (theological implications) in the final description. Basically just having machines accurately measuring the photons changes the results (e.g. vs. the machines measuring the photons, but scrambled so they can't recover the information). So it's definitely a property of attempting to recover the information, regardless of how it is measured or reported, which is weird, but doesn't have any sort of consciousness involving implications, because it happens to machines as well.

It's definitely worth the 10 minute watch if you want it explained to you.
How about if the item’s regular spot in the cupboard or fridge has neat scale like a little placemat? I put my coffee in the same spot every day. Same with the milk, eggs, cheese, bread, apples, etc.

The ironic part of your comment is that the entire scientific method demands independent verification; and this thought experiment, now tested experimentally, calls into question the idea of objective observation underpinning that method.

California's water problems would mostly be solved if there was just a normal universal water price system based on supply and demand.

This will never happen.
