This title is very editorializing, and ignores the fact that outside of legal expenses as others have pointed out, net income is actually up. In other words, on core business metrics, they are better year-over-year.
I was prepared to dismiss this, but I actually think this is a great idea as a consumer. When I eat out, or get takeout, I want something delicious. We can go to a well-reviewed yelp restaurant, but I still don't know what's good there (I often look in the 'frequent mentions' area, but its hit-or-miss).

It might also help me with my tendency to always order the same thing once I find something I like. And, it might motivate me to try new restaurants, if I had a specific compelling thing I was going to order.

Unfortunately, I am not in your initial markets, and we never use delivery services (we go out or pick it up ourselves), but I do like the concept.

If there was a way to a review a meal at an arbitrary restaurant, I would have done so tonight.
This is so helpful. Thanks for the color. We built the app using Ionic, a framework that houses a web application as an iPhone or Android app. We are considering switching to true native soon :)

Totally understand your primary use case. You can search for any restaurant and find the best dishes there!
Starting a $300K/Year Bike Lube Business from South Africa
Most people don't really get the contractor/employee split that all these companies take advantage of and even then the word TIP has certain implications. If I tip someone well I expect the worker to get more not for the company employing or contracting them to pay less, I want the money to go to the person not the company.

Even in the US where tips go against wages it's not so bad, generally the first tip or two will cover the difference and workers are probably doing way better than that. Doordash on the other hand applied the same thing to /every/ order.

How? You can only have one (on SQL Server anyway). Maybe I don't understand your point.
So this is why so many shows supposedly set in Portland are filmed in Vancouver!

HN is the only place I've seen people outright defending the PRC's human rights abuses. Something about HN really brings out the ultra-nationalists.
I've been reading HN for ten years or so, and I see myself still reading HN in ten years. Maybe something new and better will come along, but HN has so much momentum that it will take a long time to go away, even if it's not the hottest thing anymore. (unless someone decides to shut it down for some reason)
I LOVED Coda, it was my first "real" editor (a step up from NP++) but now that I'm using IDEA I can't imagine going back to something with such a small market cap/plugin developer ecosystem. I wish Panic the best (and I still love them as a company) but I just don't see Coda/Nova being worth it (price or ecosystem-wise) just to have a beautiful editor. Maybe I'll try a trial when it comes out but it just looks... less powerful... that I really need from my editor.

All that said Panic is awesome and the breadth of what they do (Mac Apps, iOS App, Games, handheld gaming hardware) is crazy. I wish they would show Prompt some more love as I fear that is slowly being abandoned and I'll have to find an alternative SSH iOS client.
It sounds like someone needs to organize some good, seaworthy boats to come pick these people up and take them someplace better, and help them get set up. After all, if they're intellectuals, they should be a huge asset to any country that takes them in. There's a reason we have the term "brain drain": countries that get the brains usually benefit greatly, while the countries losing them suffer economically.
Yep, probably the same thing that happened with Facebook recently: https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/03/keeping-passwords-secur...

Totally understand. What market are you from? Unfortunately, we are only in SF, NY and Chicago so far.

By the way, you can review a dish from any arbitrary restaurant. You can search your restaurant and press the "Review a Dish" button. When we get enough of those in any city, we consider launching there next :)
I haven't been FB user for years,so don't follow news related to them,looks like the fine explains the numbers pretty well.
Don't. I just got my PhD (working on quantum computing at a good school) and I do not really get the point they are making. It is interesting, but esoteric even for people working in related fields.

However, it is a great opportunity to start learning more about it!
Turkish mythology refers to the tribes of Central Asia, children in elementary schools are taught about their tribal ancestors' history and how they eventually settled in what is today called Turkey. Being Turkish means having ancestors coming from one of those tribes, so how do Kurds and Greeks fit into this picture? Turkish is most definitely an ethnicity and all Turks are taught about it from an early age.
It's wage theft. That it's legal under US law only means it's institutional.

That is worse.

EDIT: Because some people seem to be unaware: there is no actual crime in US law called "wage theft". It's a term that describes specific behavior and some of that behavior violates certain employment laws and regulations. See the Wikipedia article for the specifics, although it specifies that "tip theft" is actually its own legal complex within "wage theft": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_theft
Your project is worthless (in USD) without users and a base for a company to make money off that user base. You're too close to the code - It's an undemonstrated idea.
Also, to plug my own favorite dead German guy, Schopenhauer spends a lot of time in his writings explaining (his interpretation of) Kant's ideas, and his prose is much easier to understand than Kant's, even in translation. You won't get any love for Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel from him though.
I'm fine with this as long as they're clear about it up-front.

If every employee is emotionally invested in the company you can imagine that they don't want to hire new folks that aren't - there would be huge culture clashes. Some people live to work, even if it's not for their own company. Why not let them all work with each other?

I've found it's only a problem when companies promise "Work-life balance is a priority" then on the first day you notice everyone's there at 8pm. At least if they're up-front about it you know what you're getting in to and can adjust expectations in terms of both time commitment and salary accordingly.

Why believe that a god is reponsible for the gaps rather than believe that we simply don't have the answers yet and that eventually science will give us them (as it has in the past, countless times)?
> Surely this applies to anyone using a piece of US-made software living outside the US. And without a governing law clause, isn't it always ambiguous?

I don't think most software licenses say you can't violate some country's laws while using it. It is already illegal to do the illegal thing.

> Who am I to judge. That's what they want.

I'm not judging either. I am not able to confidently follow these terms, so I won't use the software. No hard feelings.

I'm guessing that the license author's intention was to avoid legal liability for people doing illegal things with their software. Usually this is addressed with some language in the license about limitation of liability or or indemnification. For example, see section 3.8 of Atlassian's software agreement:

https://www.atlassian.com/legal/software-license-agreement
That's a really interesting idea. Generate unique tokens e.g. for detecting leaked passwords and alert upon any text match within database, logs, etc.
I think you have a tendency of assuming a little bit too much about what others think based on 1 sentence.

> Are you assuming here that Equifax could absorb any size of fine?

Who said any size of fine would be appropriate? There is a lot of possible fine size between 500M$ and the max they could absorb.

> Also, you seem to be OK with the idea that any company that gets hacked could be fined $5 billion

Where did I say that? I am OK with facebook getting fined 5B$ in this context, that doesn't tell you anything about other hacks and other companies. I am also a little bit reluctant to call facebook's case a "hack".

> I think there's a big question about whether Equifax should have been fined at all. It would appear to either require mass inconsistency by regulators, or would put most US companies that rely on IT out of business.

You should maybe think outside of the tech bubble for one second? What you find apparently unthinkable is already in place in many other industries. Do you think there will be no repercussion for Boeing's crashes if it was caused by their carelessness? What do you think happen if an engineering company builds a bridge and it collapses because of a design mistake? Yet mistakes are human right?

Private data is something that should be protected. It is not as important as human lives, but it is very important. If you build a business around handling user's private data, but can't be bothered to properly protect them, then yes you should get fined heavily or even put out of business.

And just like in engineering there should be investigations into what happened to determine how much of it was pure carelessness and how much could not have been realistically prevented. In the case of Equifax, they didn't even bother applying security patches to their external facing software.
Sort the keys alphabetically usually comes up.
Like everyone else not in gig-economy jobs. The "individual contractors" hiring structure is established in almost every country (where legally possible) for companies like Uber, food delivery, etc. This is not US-specific phenomenon.
Not true. The shard alone is insufficient to unlock the secret. But to your point, the scheme could be designed in an n of m fashion. The simplest scheme is comprised of three shards:
1) You
2) Org
3) Govt. (ideally DoJ)

Any two can be used in concert to unlock the secret. You and the Org combine shards to access account. You or Org can be compelled by Govt. to reveal shard, through a warrant. The third shard is held at the DoJ, and also requires a warrant.
> Consciousness. We could and should be robots. There is nothing to reproducing that requires this, which is the survival of the fittest.

Humans are social animals. To interact with other people, it is probably evolutionarily advantageous to have a mental model that can predict the actions of other people. Consciousness might be simply an offshoot of that mental model, in which a person predicts their own actions, too.

I'm not saying that this theory is true, although I do think I heard it somewhere. (Maybe it's in I am a Strange Loop?) But it's just meant to be an example of how consciousness could arise as a side effect of something with an actual reproductive advantage.
How to do you define "objective" when objectivity depends on the very phenomenon studied?
I would actually argue the opposite using your same argument. It would take more assumptions to assume that, we, a single species on the tree of life, experience life differently from all other animals.

What evidence do you have that that other animals don't experience life in the same way we do? Why would we be any different from them?
I am glad govt.'s don't work on perception. Also, the US' perception is also one of racism, poverty in Southern states. Doesn't mean it abandon its myriad programs in space and healthcare.
No pedestrians or bikes on the interstate. It's likely the figure is just a large exaggeration.
Is your hand conscious? Are you your hand? Am I reasonable to assume that your hand typed your comment? So how can I be sure that you are conscious and not just your hands and mouth?

I can, because those are merely the mechanisms you use to communicate. If you choose to communicate via puppet, that's still you communicating, and the puppet is not conscious. Now, if you can make a puppet that passes the test, and I mean really passes, like the example above, where there can be questions and meta questions, and no running from some topics, without you having to interfere at all during the tests, then you might have a conscious puppet after all.
Russia buying few ads which could have some effect on election results is considered serious issue. Google influencing elections by shadow-banning channels is a much more serious issue.

Currently google is treated as a platform, and does not take responsibility for the content users post to it, but that means that google also must have fair rules by which it treats everyones content. If google wants to decide which channel to shut down and which one to keep, it should not be treated as a platform, but as a publisher.
It's possible. It's not something you normally intend to do in a new project but it's possible to use jQuery and other libraries inside React and it's handy when working with legacy code.
>There are many things we don't understand, and as time pass we gradually understand more and more of them.

On the contrary, when it comes to the fundamental nature of the universe, the more we've come to understand, the more we've come to realize how much even more we do not understand.
I didn't say that. My point is that people who excel at their jobs should have the ability to be rewarded. Do you disagree?
JSON is not always guaranteed to be UTF-8. It wasn't updated to mandate that until 2017 https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2017/12/14/RFC-8259-...

That said, I certainly hope that it is, generally speaking.
So you don't have sources or citations for your viewpoint, just handwaving about "obvious to me", "Typical".

You should just come right out and say it, I think.
You can list the site on 1kprojects.com (domain name is a bit of a misnomer as the site has plenty of projects listed for well over $1k)
My point was that "how am I minmaxing my life?" is a poor foundation for a healthy relationship on an ethical level if not a practical one. Go ahead and start with being focused on others and trust that the personal benefits will follow.

Cheering on an underappreciated club might have the same benefits, but I'm mostly doubtful that consumer activities, albeit fun and mildly social ones, qualify as being externally focused.
India's expenditure on space, helped many farmers create wealth and uplift their families. The very point you were trying to make.
The biggest obstacle for me that you could help me solve is seeing crowdsourced photos of every dish because often I want to know quantities of things and visuals are one of the best ways to get that info.

Seamless and Uber Eats often have text descriptions of dishes here (NYC) but pictures are less common, restaurants don't seem to care enough to put in the effort.

The other big win would be to be able to see highest ranked or most liked dishes in a neighborhood (irrespective of the particular restaurant). You can often see highest rated restaurants in an area, or highest rated dishes at a particular restaurant, but it would be interesting to see a view of best dishes from all over my area.

Finally, might be neat to be able to browse by 'value' as opposed to just 'quality'.
> And here we are commenting on this "thing" that we clearly understand because X, Y, and Z study that affirms our beliefs says it's so.

No one is claiming to understand. In fact the whole point of the article is about how much we don't understand the problem.
On the other other side:

If a process takes a day to run, it won't be run daily. Period. It'll be run weekly or monthly or quarterly. But there may be value in running it more frequently, even continuously. But the present time cost makes that undesirable, and it's not perceived as adding value. Workarounds and alternatives are found, maybe. Or business units act on half-baked, likely out-of-date, information.
Whoa, slow down :) I have no idea if anyone other than me is conscious. So no assumptions about humans v. animals.

It’s like playing a video game. Some of the other characters insist the game is multiplayer, but how can i know they’re not just bots pretending to be players?
Over the past few years, it seems to me, that HN is suffering a bit from the eternal september effect. It seems (again, to me) that many HN commentators are very technically knowledgeable, but are sorely lacking in understanding politics, social sciences, liberal arts, etc.

It also seems (again, to me) that there has been a lot more authoritarian beliefs expressed by the comments. Take my opinion and observations for what you will.
It wouldn't just be for passwords. It would be for any kind of confidential data.
My comment isn't useful, but I really can't get a handle on anything "quantum" related. The only thing I sort of understand is that if you could entangle a massive amount of photons/electrons, you could have "quantum radar" which would be jam-proof.

I don't really understand even that though. Could you verify an electron reflecting back is entangled with an electron you have on hand, or are they all just "entangled" with something or "entangled" with some spin (which could be replicated)?
All monadic computation can be accomplished with continuations, which offer a way to thread the monadic bind between sub-programs. But at some point this is equivalent to saying that all continuations can be implemented with machine language... True, but beside the point.

The main purpose of ideas like algebraic effects is to build on a firm understanding of a model of computation. Implementing algebraic effects (whether with call/cc or otherwise) lets one specify a program's behaviour more precisely.

Whether this seems useful or not is probably closely aligned with whether you think static types and purity are useful or not, perhaps.
Interesting/odd that Canny does NOT have a free tier. I was about to say "where were you 3 weeks ago when I really needed a feedback tool with a free tier" but then I saw all their plans are paid...

Weird. I have 10 Mbps at the moment and I have a 3 years old phone. I tried exactly what you said with Avoid Tolls. Every interaction has absolutely no delay for me.

I do not have "Start AR" at the moment so I cannot test that.
They did. With a smaller aircraft, the Britannia, which went on to be successful and a regular sight well into the seventies. That also got to benefit from the brand new, huge hangars and new runways at Filton created for the Brabazon. There was already a turboprop Brabazon in progress, but that wasn't pursued to prototype.

Both suffered from the arrival of jets with the DH Comet in 1949. Prop or turboprop for long haul was done, so it was never going to be quite what might have been expected in 1944.
Mmh, yeah. Sometimes I lack reading comprehension.

So, I would think it's not a thing that can be solved with style guidelines, maybe a different diffing paradigm that handles elements addition or deletion from a list?
So we essentially arised out of (nothing, at this point) to understand why we did?

Gap of logic.
This article really speaks to me. It’s well written, and written like a rock collector talking about each one of his rocks in his rock collection, only the rocks are apps of different speeds.

There was a related thing that I heard from a previous CTO that changed my outlook on how to write web apps: "Users shouldn’t be able to tell that they’re using a web application. A web application should feel native. That is, it should load instantly."
I've wondered this myself-- what if instead of the brain growing the create consciousness, it grows to receive consciousness? Like a tree growing to receive light.

Huge congrats to the Mithril team. Been using Mithril for over two years now. I credit Mithril and its amazing community for making me the front-end developer I am today. When the massive amount of tooling and plugins for React overwhelmed me, the simplicity of Mithril and its focus on JavaScript fundamentals saved me and helped me gain a better understanding of modern JavaScript UI frameworks.

If you're curious, I highly recommend giving Mithril a shot, if not just for a simple toy project. The Gitter chat (https://gitter.im/mithriljs/mithril.js) is also always active and full of great people.
> We're talking about the choice of an algorithm in a spreadsheet delivered by a contractor being a criminal offense. It's not like that's impossible but it seems a lot more like a contractual issue at first glance. I mean fundamentally it's a string of ones and zeros, it's a piece of software.

That's not what we're really talking about. He intentionally added in a failure to the software he delivered and then charged them to 'fix' the issue i.e. reset the trigger to happen at a later date and charged them for the 'fix'. Seems like a pretty straight forward fraud charge.
Saul Alinsky
Conscious beings not being present does not mean that consciousness is not. This article basically asserts that your cognition of yourself as "conscious of the world" (as you imply here) may be inverted. The big bang may actually be the birth of consciousness, which we, as human beings, are gradually becoming more conscious of.

Not the OP, but consider the p-zombie world thought experiment: Chalmers would have us believe that we would still be having precisely this conversation about qualia, even if qualia were impossible in such a world, and no human had ever had a true subjective experience. The concept of qualia would still somehow have been invented and triggered precisely the same centuries of disagreement that we have seen.

This is as equally inconceivable as p-zombies are conceivable (to some), therefore I can only conclude that there is some fatal flaw in the p-zombie argument, and so I dismiss the conceivability of p-zombies. Thus, the presence of consciousness must somehow be behaviourally distinguishable.
