Nope. Both aisle and window seats will be suffixed A. I almost invariably book window seats, they have an A suffix anyway.

There are other suffixes, but they relate to the layout of seating in a carriage and apparently almost all trains have "airline" style according to the nomenclature of whoever decides these things.
The only case it struggles with is when the grouping is difficult to achieve in a small amount of splits, such as 1,3,5 against 2,4,6,7, especially when each split will need to show more predictive capability against any of the other column options.

commercetools | Software Engineer - Scala | On-Site | Full-Time | Berlin, Germany | https://commercetools.com/careers

We combine solving hard tech challenges you’d expect in a Silicon Valley startup with German work/life balance.

Our Backend-as-a-Service powers commerce in a wide range of industries, including automotive, robotics, gaming, on-demand printing, fashion and toys. We don’t run mom-and-pop stores - we excel for enterprise customers that need a commerce platform that is both customizable and yet highly scalable and reliable.

Some of the challenges you can help us with:

* Scaling a multi-tenant BaaS with heterogeneous traffic patterns. We continuously improve the performance of our code (written in Scala) as well as our persistence layer (MongoDB and ElasticSearch).

* Rework our data models where they aren’t suitable for our biggest enterprise customers. E.g. we need to support retailers with inventory across hundreds of stores.

* Multi-cloud, multi-region deployment: We offer our customers a choice between different cloud providers (including AWS and GCP) and regions.

* Adopt new technologies in our developer-facing products. E.g. we invest in GraphQL and CloudEvents, and participate in specification processes as well as Open Source projects.

We’re 150 people from 35 countries. We offer flexible work hours, home office and are parent friendly. I myself leave the office at 3:30pm three times a week to spend the afternoon with my son, and then spent another 2 hours working at home in the evening.

For the Scala job in our team see: https://commercetools-jobs.personio.de/job/41580 Feel free to message me if you have any questions at christoph DOT neijenhuis AT companyname DOT com (No recruiters, no agencies please.)
Umm, what? American fuel taxes are pretty cheap. Fuel is almost half the price here than anywhere in Europe, largely due to Europe's higher taxes on fuel.

It's actually becoming a problem; our fuel taxes haven't risen as much as inflation, and our road infrastructure is funded largely by fuel taxes.
Generally speaking, which generation ...

* Force ever expanding identitarianism view
* Force corporations to align with their views
* Make anti-semetic statements while supporting other religions
* Seek to ignore the foundations of government and the press
* Work to displace government
* Are willing to use physical violence to accomplish their goals

My employer let me drop to 25 hours/week when I went to grad school. Twenty-five turned out to be a sweet spot. I enjoyed accomplishing goals for my employer each day and had an extra 3 hours daily for family and personal goals. It was the happiest I've ever been in my career.

My manager let me work from home as needed during that time. Just having the power to make the decision gave me satisfaction. I used it when I needed it but went in otherwise.

As useful as sites like these are, there is still no substitute for the encyclopedic Ashley Book of Knots[1][2], which contains every knot under the sun and then some (up to the time it was written -- and, to be fair, quite a few knots have been invented since then, but it's still an impressive tome).

Hi Eeke.
A few years back, we lost a merchant account with stripe due to an unfortunate combination: no chargeback insurance enabled, high average transaction value (~600EU) and low monthly volume (we were starting up).

Got one charge back for 800EU that blew us out of the water. Would there be a mechanism to re-apply, with CB protection enabled ?

We struggled to have this discussion with a Real Person at Stripe to discuss this .. would you have any leads ?
Interesting question. I've assumed it is an parallel affect of battery usage and visual/ocular-health under various lighting conditions. Officially, I too would like to know.

As a European I couldn't believe people cycled in the lanes I saw in NYC last year. I was there only a few days, but saw numerous close calls with drivers turning into the lanes. It's nuts. If you took away the parking inbetween the cycle lane and the road, you'd probably take away 50% of accidents also.
There already was great efficiency growth that would have enabled "less work".

It was all taken by the ruling "elite".
Venture Hacker | Blossom Capital | London, UK

If you're a developer who wants to get into venture capital, this is the gig for you.

At Blossom we're building a new kind of Series A VC for Europe. We’ve got a team with deep experience investing at and alongside the best venture capital funds in the world and operating experience from scaling unicorns globally (including Facebook, Deliveroo and Klarna).

Founders choose us because they want an investor who understands what it takes to build a startup from the inside. Whether it's structuring engineering teams (half of our investing partners have engineering backgrounds), hiring sales leaders or defining firm KPIs, we can offer practical support and expertise drawn from our own experiences in scaling companies.

This role is a mix of engineering and traditional venture capital work (market mapping, deal sourcing, due diligence etc.) - you don’t need to have any experience in venture capital, but understanding the startup ecosystem and fundraising will obviously be beneficial.

Details of the role: https://t.co/1BThYhekQj

It's different. Nobody will prescribe anti-psychotic medication to a religious person. It's just not the same thing. Speaking as someone who has a family member with mental illness, you know it when you see it, it's just a different thing. When someone who's never in his life had religious inclinations, suddenly starts doing weird rituals, not sleeping, and claiming to be the messiah and behaving differently then before,... well, it's just, has nothing to do with being a religious person.
Sharepoint had some questionable synchronization corner cases that, in a poorly configured environment, would just lose some people's files. There are plenty of international horror stories where a teammate in Japan checked out a file and forgot to check back in, effectively blocking teammates in Europe and the US from working on the data.

The main advantage of Excel, which leaves us pessimistic on the long-term viability of the niche SaaS solutions, is the "hackability". There's an incredible depth of tooling and market expertise around Excel, from mundane formula structures to macros to addins and COM automation. Thousands of office workers who otherwise have little programming experience are extremely adept at solving problems with Excel.

The SaaS solutions might individually solve different problems, but are not really designed to play nice with each other (nor are they really incentivized to work well together).
I agree - I also find it safer in NYC to just ride with traffic. I have had several collisions with pedestrians who decided they would just step out right in front of me into my “lane” and nearly door’d on a couple of other occasions
You mostly don't need types in F#, although types often add readability, especially for function signatures (IMHO).

F# will even compile

let add a b = a + b
add 1 2;;

as

val add : a:int -> b:int -> int
val it : int = 3

or

let add a b = a + b
add 1ul 2ul;;

as

val add : a:uint32 -> b:uint32 -> uint32
val it : uint32 = 3u

So it will even infer type from the first usage of the function.

> At least in the US, this is not possible without a change in the 1st Amendment. Hate speech is protected by the 1st Amendment.

Right, which is why I'm personally mostly worried about service providers being wink-wink nudge-nudge deputized into performing a mostly-effective end run around legal protections on speech. Threaten regulation, accept a proposal to self-regulate (so we don't have to pass any laws directly forcing censorious action) and work from there.

If we're assuming that the goal is widespread manipulation of the political narrative, black-bagging dissidents isn't necessary to have a significant effect. Heck, this thread's Tiananmen example is the sort of thing that could be accomplished without any sort of overtly totalitarian stuff at all: you need a willing mouthpiece and an understanding with the folks running search results at Baidu that "not fake news from well-reputed outlets" gets bumped in the list. Consider how infrequently most users get past the first page of search results. I don't have stats, but I bet a similar thing is true just for whatever's the first result. Even if it's totally possible for someone to go off to another source and get their facts there, you've just rewritten history for everyone who didn't read past the top result.

I think this story is particularly interesting because it's an example of a method of government speech control and propaganda that, unlike many of China's heavy-handed measures, has a nonzero chance of being applicable in a Western democracy without being an overt violation of protections around political speech.
Well, the reason is cost. Gmail works well because when you click on it you get a few milliseconds of resources on thousand of computers. The rest of the time those computers are doing something else. The economics aren't great for any organization that doesn't have those boxes laying around already. Also obviously Google has search technology laying around in their kitchen drawer. If you don't have that you are starting at a disadvantage.
> WFOE cannot sell directly to Chinese consumers.

Well, I can open up a sandwich shop. A foreign owned entity will indeed probably get scrutiny. A couple of friends have shops selling sandwiches (one toasted, one pizza type). They are WFOEs!

I don't sell sandwiches. I mainly work in tech, finance and HR (generalist, I suppose). Some industries are controlled, even in another reply someone mentioned Tesla's plant is 100% owned. If waving fans, I have been in China (mainland) for two decades.

What you type about ownership rules is utterly incorrect. You don't seem able to drop the ball.

Edit: I'm going to drop the ball here and discontinue this. I wish you a good day.
> Once it became trivially easy to obtain food, water, and shelter

I would argue that the average human being doesn't consider these things easy to acquire. For society it COULD be easy to distribute these things if we decided that was a goal of ours, but we haven't gotten there yet.
I would be very interested in seeing the ideas (or problems?) invented by children born into a world where this was true, but unless things get very interesting very quickly, I doubt we'll get the chance.
I've been interested improving my technical writing for some time but don't really have any idea what good tech writing looks like.

Can someone suggest some examples of what you consider really good documents?

If you want to get into some simple code examples, you can do something where the kids don't need to understand exactly what the code means, but they can still understand what it's doing. For 5th graders, that could be something like "multiply all the numbers between 1 and N together." They could do it themselves for N = 3 or 4, and you could spend a couple minutes making it a race to N = 5 or something. Then you could have the computer do it for N = 1000 and have it fill up the screen with digits, which is kind of an "ooo ahh" moment. You can have the kids try to guess the name of that number. ("What's the largest number you know the name of?" is a fun game. You can take a minute to tell them how Google got its name.) Then you can set N to some value where it actually takes the computer a few seconds to finish working, and the kids can get a sense of how computers are very fast but not infinitely fast.
FWIW, one of the biggest fast food franchise chains in my country uses a custom Excel sheet as their main backoffice app across the organization. From what I can tell, it's far from a single user app with a small dataset.
Such expert casting aside of personal responsibility and character that - I would assume - defines the self-sufficient individual who can dance and play hard that defines a heathen.

How does it feel knowing that a conservative catholic (tolkien) and ex-christian atheist southern american latino (me) care about - and wears - your aesthetic better than any nordic native or heathen in this thread so far? My convictions seem to be stronger despite this being the spiritual equivalent of how tourists use egyptian hieroglyphics.

Don't worry, I'll have flavor and force of will for your religion's (objectively speaking, very awesome) aesthetic SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Is this a thing vikings did by the by? No wonder the confusion between what ritual survived as pagan and what became christian and vice-versa is so muddled. It's like lifting pollen from fields! Just straight up, boot-to-face subservience. Tsk tsk.
Google Fi Is Broken Right Now
Introvert here. Just being around people is usually straining. I guess I also suffer some kind of social anxiety or whateverthehellitis. It's difficult to relax and focus with people around.

When I commuted, the commute was the best part of the day because I got to relax and sit alone in my car. Stepping out of the car at the company parking lot was always nauseating.

That said I'm still glad I needn't commute anymore. Life is short, I will die. I feel like I can do better with my life than spend it sitting in a car.

Maybe or 6-7 years ago now Reddit decided to remove some extremely objectionable subreddits such as those that sexualise minors, then shortly after that it took action to remove subreddits which had been deemed extremely offensive by some higher ups at the company. During these times I remember people both on here and on Reddit were extremely concerned. I remember that although most people didn't like these subreddits they felt these actions might spell the beginning of further restrictions to their speech on the platform - a platform which once believed strongly in the principles of freedom of speech. If I remember correctly there was even significant media attention and many Reddit users were so upset they attempted to boycott Reddit.

However now Reddit bans subreddits all the time. Twitter and Facebook delete the accounts of individuals at a whim, even they're publicly relevant or political candidates. And the sad thing is no one really cares any more. We just accept it as the new normal. Now if the media reports on it they often celebrate it. It was deserved they say, based of course solely on their subjective moral objections.

It's really quite worrying.

Edit: Found the thread if anyone is interested:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3585997

It's quite a balanced perspective, especially given the subreddit being banned in this case is /r/jailbait. I can't imagine anyone arguing that Reddit should allow that subreddit to exist today.

I suppose it surprises me how quickly perspectives have changed given we all now seem to accept private companies have the right to censor our legal speech online.

I do not think that it is describing determinism. I am not sure how you did come to this conclusion. Perhaps you can elaborate more deeply?

I think that this piece extends our control over our free will (i.e. gives us more free will) because it helps us to see and understand our inner state more clearly.

But I think that strictly following it can also be limiting because it will leave out unexpected outcomes. For example you may not go to see some concert/play etc because you have estimated how it would affect your mental state and have decided it to be not worthwhile. Perhaps it would have been a ground breaking experience you could not have ever imagined.

When I tried working at a large corporation that I new wouldn't suit me, I noticed an undercurrent of nobody really talking about issues that were holding us back or could help the team and our processes. Naturally I put effort into trying to change that , and would try to professionally adress conflict between team member with them directly or through a manager. Likewise any issues with our work environment and so on. Because nobody else really did this—possibly because they risked their visas—I stood out.
>You make this sound so easy. Ok, let's do it!

Plenty of other countries have already done it. There's literally nothing stopping Americans from following suit if Americans decide that it's the right thing to do.

>I believe CO2 emissions will be cut as man's technologies and economies gradually evolve.

If the IPCC are right, that'll be far too late. They say we need ambitious action now. They could be wrong, but is that a gamble we want to take? Is it worth risking a disaster-movie scenario so that we can keep driving big trucks and prop up some industries with no future anyway? If the IPCC are right and we do nothing, how will we explain it to our grandchildren? "Sorry kids, we ruined your lives because we thought that 99.9% of scientists were wrong?". "Sorry kids, we ruined your lives because we couldn't be bothered getting the bus?". Is that how we want to be remembered?

What factor do you believe explains the 78% drop in deaths and serious injuries per bicycle trip in NYC from 2000-2017?

https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/nyc-cycling-risk...

I'm legitimately curious. I'm not a New Yorker, so it's very plausible that there are factors involved that I'm not aware of. E.g. if the additional 130 million trips in 2017 are all in Central Park, that could explain it.
