Love to give this a shot if anyone has a referral. Probably my major pain point is my team booking travel together. We'll put it on a clunky excel file or sharepoint page, people block out what they think is the travel date, factory times move and we all have to rebook or just go early/late, etc. Being able to block reschedule a group of individuals would be cool too, like grouping these individual accounts for certain types of travel.
From the bit of time I did working in warehouse software, all the indoors warehouses I've seen were exclusively using electric forklifts, specifically because gas/oil coulnd't be used because of the fumes.
Exactly, would allow companies to hire from pretty much any major city and would allow people to relocate back to where they are from and maintain a great lifestyle and still have some level of camaraderie at work.
How much does this cost? I don't see any pricing information.

> We book travel on your personal card so you can get all the points.

Do you bill the charges directly to the customer's card or do they get billed by you and then you separately purchase the flight/hotel/etc?

Curious how that works regarding card data storage as you'd need likely need the full card number, expiration, and CVV to run each charge and it can't just be hash or payment token if you're passing it on to a third party for the full booking.
I've been on it since about the 2000's and am in my 30's. I'm starting to walk back my dose. Mine's a bit more of a precipitous drop (at my request, long story), since I was at 70mg in the morning, 40mg in the evening about a month ago. Bumped down to 50mg in the morning, 30mg at night for a few weeks, and am now trying 40mg in the morning, 30mg at night.

It's fast, And I know it, but I'm trying to do it as quickly as I can reasonably feel safe doing it without feeling like I'm losing my mind, because the high dose was just not getting me anywhere positive in my personal relationships, and after weight loss was starting to generate side-effects beyond what I was willing to put up with. I've survived a doctor going against the literature and trying to cold turkey me from 100mg daily to 30 mg daily before (do not recommend), so I've got a bit more experience with bad transitions to get me through it.

There's some fog and upset; there's going to be. Your neurons have physiologically adapted to dealing with the elevated levels of neurotransmitter analog, and it'll take some time for everything to settle back down and readjust to having to produce your own neurotransmitters again. The nice thing is, your brain still knows how to do it's thing from before the Adderall... It just takes some time for all the cellular equipment to fire back up. The FAA, for example, for pilot candidates wishing to submit to a neurological panel after stopping treatment with something like Adderall, requires a minimum of 90 days to have elapsed since cessation of treatment. So given you changed your dosage schedule a month ago, you're probably still in the transitionary period where you'll be most prone to mental disturbances as your brain transitions.

I'm not a doctor, just some bloke on the Net who's walking about the same path you are at the moment.

The things I've done to try to keep me sane in the transitions include:

-Focusing on our animals and my garden. The fog seems to settle in when I'm not doing anything, so I just keep setting little goals and tasks to keep me busy, thinking, and dealing with the external world instead of angsting over the fog.

-talk to my partner about it. Conversation can be a bit spurious at times, but again, small talk gets me out of my head and engaged with the world, even if I'm bad at it.

-try learning something new. It's okay if your attention wanders while doing it. The point is to keep you doing something. Reading can be a godsend, but sometimes just trying to do something to keep your hands busy is better

-If all else fails, talk to your doctor, therapist, clergyperson or a close friend. It can be scary, having your mind play tricks on you, but I swear it gets better! Vivid dreams are kind of a hand-in-hand thing with changing med doses; and the fog will pass with time.

I have faith in you! You can do it! You're so close!
When reading the headline, I felt as if this was a logan/advertisement for Elon Musk's company.
Congrats on the launch guys, let's get bubble tea again sometime in the future :)

I think I mentioned this before in person, but I'd like to repeat myself just so that others can chime in with whether they feel this pain point too: a lot of travel revolves around other travel arrangements (not necessarily flights) on the same day. These other arrangements are often slightly time-customisable too, but the number of combinations is obviously limited (I can't take a bus to the airport after the flight). Finding the best combination that doesn't require me to wake up at ungodly times is a hassle that I'd like to see solved.
I love how the solution was to add one time-delay relay into the circuit. It's a 70s version of a one-line patch.
> No it's not, no one is rewritting their front ends every year to change frameworks.

Maybe not quite every year, but the dominant frameworks have changed a lot in the past decade and if you're still running some of the "next big things" of yesteryear the developer pressure to switch is strong. The churn is real.

> React was released 6 years ago, Angular fully released about 3 years ago.

In my opinion, React being quite stable over that timeframe is a big factor in it becoming the dominant player. Angular being scrapped and rewritten is exactly what I'm talking about, lots of development effort wasted there.

> This argument that everyone needs to slow down because some people don't like hearing about change is ridiculous.

If the kids want to keep playing with the latest toys, that's fine. Just don't expect the people paying the bills to buy into them.
Persisting it on the server allows users to browse on multiple devices and keep their collapse settings in sync. This is useful in particular for long threads of comments, where collapsing can be used as a tool to keep track of progress through the thread by collapsing comments along the way.
Wait, the markets? Don’t you mean the infrastructure? The financialized language in the article is very jarring. It’s like their readers can’t relate to base reality anymore and the only way to connect with them is these financial terms, the “demand side and supply side”, “smart energy resources”, “multi period optimization”, and so on. Almost like you’re trying to describe a Ford Focus to them and you have to describe it as a “on demand relocation capital unit as a service” or something.

"Many of these companies are started by engineers or product managers who have seen the boring solutions not work for them."

Most of the time (not all, but almost all of the time), if a "boring solution" doesn't work for you, the problem is you, not the solution. There's a reason it is boring.
Not a business center, but if you ever get the chance to go to the The Wieliczka Salt Mine just outside of Krakow, Poland don't miss it — absolutely stunning (and easily accessible by local public transit).

Supposedly, it was one of the Tolkien's inspirations for the mines in the Lord of the Rings. And because it's a salt mine, the air is very clean. They used to send asthma sufferers into the mines as a form of therapy.
I find the power system constraints for the mission super interesting. The MMRTGs are pretty hefty (45 kg) and end up providing about 2.4 W/kg, without the batteries (which are sized independently) required to store their output. Also, just noticed it puts out ~2kW of thermal power in addition to the 110W of electrical power, hadn't seen a number on that previously.
One of the top posts in the history of HN was a link that upvoted itself due to this issue.

Hey! One of the founders here. Carry is available all over the world, but our responses can be slower outside of the hours of 8am - 2am Pacific Time. Where are you based?

For the last almost ~6 months, we've been doing top-down sales at companies, serving their teams that travel most (eg sales, implementation, professional services, etc. teams), but given demand from folks in our networks, we're opening up Carry to individuals (both for use at their jobs and not). From user behavior, we believe Carry is best for "high-intent travel", which we classify as travel that you know you have to take-- whether that's a bunch of people going to a wedding, a conference, or a business meeting-- as otherwise, users often don't know what they want.

What would you like to use Carry for?

I can see the resemblance, but cars of that era were much more angular. (Saturn made a big impression in the late '80s just by adding a little bit of curviness.)

I think this is why some people react to the design as 'alien'; it looks almost like an old Golf, but then things like the curved hood and the rounded corners on the headlight/grill assembly push it over into the Uncanny Valley.
Adding automation to this workflow seems like an exciting problem to solve!

I’m interested in seeing how you end up dealing with inaccuracies that arise in a almost-safety-critical operation. E.g, in your example, returning at 9 (even ignoring delays) would make the traveler miss their meeting.
Nice. Thanks a lot!
Agree with this. Whenever I go to a city, I tend to leave my car in burbs and public transport in (Cal train when going to SF and Go Train when going to Toronto). Bring a car into the city is a hassle with parking and associated costs. Everyone I know whose recently moved to the city, have usually ditched they cars.

From my point of view, the reason is little more than petty power trips. When the job of exercising a little bit of authority becomes mundane or rote, people will look for ways to "spice it up." Since we--globally, not just in the US--have built up a lot of these authority jobs as optional-in-name-only (sure, you don't have to put up with TSA but you do if you want to go on that vacation to Portugal and take under three weeks to get there), there are few repercussions for those "small slights."

Take the anecdote of the person to whom you replied. Lots of people will tell that person's friend, "oh, just let it go, the border agent didn't really mean anything." And if the person complains to a higher authority, the complaint is staggeringly likely to get brushed off, if not used in exactly the opposite way the person intended when filing it.

At a previous job of mine, I worked for the phone-based customer service while another team in the same group operated service windows for in-person assistance. No authority here at all, just answering questions. More often than not, if someone filed a complaint about how one of our window clerks had treated them, the supervisor delivering the complaint to the clerk treated it as a joke. "Well, it says here you told the woman she should smile more. I pulled the security tape and she was pretty cute. Sure would have looked nicer if she had smiled, yeah?" Yeah boss, sure would have! "Darn right, can't fault you there, so we'll just toss this one as unwarranted, yeah?"
I don't think the issue is how important the cloud is to Oracle. The threat to Oracle is that AWS provides directly comparable database products (RDS, Redshift, DynamoDB) that don't require the licensing fees and (sometimes) hardware costs that come with Oracle products.

As an aside, I regret not disclosing earlier that I'm an engineer at Amazon. I did not expect to participate in this discussion this much, and also, it just didn't occur to me. My apologies.
Ah, okay. I keep meaning to test this out myself. It's unfortunate that Gmail doesn't mask opens entirely.

> Have you compared the ROI between the two? Why would anyone bother with print ads at all if this was the case

They mostly don't, hence why businesses dependent on print ads have had to radically reinvent themselves or die.
Every time you reply to an email it includes your location, and almost no one knows this either.

Everyone who uses email is basically agreeing to a contract that they haven't read, and wouldn't understand even if they had read. Usually this doesn't matter, but occasionally weird things happen as a result.

That's not to say that anything goes, but it's also important to look at this in context.
Hmm, that's cool, I don't know how I've never heard of this before. Probably much better than some more-expensive CSS or Javascript.
Is your plan to continue to perform the travel booking directly? Or turn into a SaaS product (Slack, Teams<-you are here->Travel booking teams or companies) that any travel booking company can use? I'd love for our corporate travel provider to have this functionality, but we would never be able to support the use of a startup for our travel booking functionality.
> But this conversation is about China.

I don't know. It seems kind of weird to want to restrict the conversation like that, but I guess I kind of see your point.

> Plus this redirection is similar to "Bob shot a guy 30 times." "Oh yeah? Bill punched a guy".

The way I saw it, the neighborhood is turning kind of bad. Someone comments "Bob shot a guy 30 times", and another adds "Bill punched a guy". Neither of these people have met Bob nor Bill and don't really care about them in particular, but their interest lies in the neighborhood as a whole.

Valid point... I even had to scope the package name to my user name before deploying to npm because it was too similarly named to other packages.

Following the rules of REST is very important if you are presenting a public API to the world. If it's your own server you can do whatever you want. For example I used to work on servers for games and often there would be a single endpoint for processing one or more commands, and this would be technically a GET request regardless of what those commands did. Furthermore it's common to send application level error details with a 200 status code; i.e the http level transaction succeeded but the application layer produced an error. Much heated discussion emerges around these design choices :D
That's independent invention, not re-invention. Reinvention requires that you could conceivably be aware of / be using an existing technology, but instead you choose to create it from scratch yourself.
I use mutt, and AFAIK I've never missed anything due to it being in rendered into an image instead of included textually in the email. The images are useless static content, not real information rasterized on demand. Sometimes I do get HTML-only emails, but it's usually not hard to find the important stuff, if there is any, among the tags.

If we're talking about the USA, mosquitos are not dangerous enough to warrant taking any action whatsoever. Of the dozens and dozens of species of mosquito, there are less than a handful that are potentially dangerous, and only in a small region, and only sometimes.

There is no reason to spray chemical toxins in a yard because of mosquitos.

If you want to take action to reduce mosquito numbers, start with pooling water. They are often able to breed in ruts left by vehicles driving on paths where they aren't supposed to be.
>As a teen/pre-teen in a city you have independence

In the suburbs kids can play in large grassy yards and run around the neighborhood with other kids. Its a relatively nerfed environment that allows exploration and is conducive to a variety of healthy activities.

There are woods and creeks to explore... You can play baseball or soccer in your backyard... Odds are you are friends with someone in your neighborhood that has a pool... Trick or treating and huge piles of leaves in the fall... Snowmen, snowball fights, and hills for sledding in the winter...

But you are right, kids being able to hang out together on some sidewalk or a 1/4 square of concrete they call "parks" is great for kids. Watching out for homeless people, broken glass, syringes... Neat.

>Suburbs make your children dependent on you for rides and consequently stunts their emotional maturity.

Until they get their drivers license and a fresh $1000 econobox on their 16th birthday, which many urban teenagers do not ever acquire, when their level of freedom and independence (and responsibility) goes through the roof.

And I've seen the kind of "emotional maturity" acquired by many born-and-raised city people (nyc) and I can't say that what many of them were exposed to and able to access at extremely early ages benefited them in the slightest.

Context: this is not only a very good introduction to Clojure and the design decisions made by Rich Hickey it also is a video that isn't very widely known.

The video was uploaded to Youtube after the migration from Blip.tv but somehow got broken (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPNkH-7PRTk) and lived in a parallel universe in Youtube. I remember I found the video a few years ago but was unable to watch it.

Last year someone re-uploaded the video to Youtube and it seems to works now.

HN's pretty much a perfect website as far as design and community goes for me, but if anything I'd like more non-tech content. Some of the best articles I've ever read have been ones on urban planning or behavioral economics that I wouldn't have found posted and talked about elsewhere. Paul Graham's "Life is Short" essay is incredible and I revisit it several times a year. There's much more to life than SAAS.
Sure, several things:

It is basically changing the topic when you have no effective rebuttal to an argument/issue.

It also creates a false equivalence between the real issue and the "whatabout" issue.

In this case, GP has no answer to China going FAR beyond any reasonable measure by requiring any tourist to install spyware on their phone so they can access all private conversations, so GP wants to ignore that and talk about public info the US requires visitors disclose at the border.

The false equivalence is created by treating as parallel and roughly equivalent govt actions the requirement to install spyware vs divulging of SocMed accts.

I'm NOT saying that divulging SocMed accts could be a definite threat to a variety of classes of people, especially journalists writing undercover. But even for that specific example, which is worse, enumerating your public SocMed accounts, or installing spyware on your phone, which will divulge far more? Not even in the same ballpark.

In sum, Whataboutism is not only damaging the conversation, it can often also be a method of disingenuous argument.
