Assuming that you're an average Belgian, the effect of money laundering is that you pay taxes while the criminals don't, so the money that your government could and would have spent in things that benefit you gets stolen instead.

Less money laundering would mean that you could either get more gov't services or lower taxes.
The latter is obviously the case. Look at their profit margins! You don't get those kind of margins on commodities unless you're price colluding.

Dating makes money, Tinder is successful, so Facebook are leaving money on the table... or worse, letting someone else take the money from the table... if they don't do dating.

Of course, the pool of potential people you can date is "those on Facebook", so that's hilarious and compounds existing problems with echo chambers.
This seems like something they should have added ten plus years ago, when their demo was primarily college kids.

I know many people who were clamoring for it at the time. It would have been an obvious addition as dating and relationships were a large part of the reason a lot of people used Facebook. I half suspect this is an attempt to pull college kids back into Facebook.

I think they missed their chance with this by a long shot.
Yeah this is the argument I don't get. Tons of companies just give employees who travel a per diem for travel expenses. A per diem for remote work expenses to spend on whatever shared office space you want is not that hard. Filing expenses is trivially easy now and there are tons of apps/services out there that do text recognition on receipts and credit card statements to make the value addition of something like this very close to zero.
Softbank has $12b+ up so far into WeWork. (a)

So are they better off supporting the IPO price by exposing themselves another $3b (20%), writing down the IPO by 50% which likely is at least $3b in losses, or delay?

And muddying their view, as I commented yesterday, is the fact that there is a huge debt contingency surrounding this IPO.

EG if WeWork does NOT raise at least $3billion in this IPO they will be in default of a contingency with lenders that will WITHHOLD a committed $6billion credit line. This huge credit facility is their growth engine forward (b).

HN at least caps downvotes at -4. I also rarely get an upvote unless I put some thought into my comment. The points seem to be a good reflection of quality outside a handful of hot topics.

Compare this to Reddit where I often check the profile of someone who made an atrocious comment (in quality or content), and they have tens or hundreds of thousands of points. I rarely see that on HN.

I think part of the problem is that folks didn't notice when Google transitioned from a search engine to an ad engine. For a long time we collectively thought of Google as a search engine, and a damned fine one it was. But we missed the switcheroo, and now we get pissed off when we try to treat an ad engine as if it is the old Google search engine.
They account for half of the bonds issued to retail investors which is significantly smaller than the overall corporate market. Half of all corporates makes little to no sense for anyone who has a cursory knowledge of this space.
It’s the usual marketing wank
Date your friends! :D On a more serious note though, why not? If their mission is to help connect people and this helps connect people that otherwise had trouble dating and this does so in a meaningful way then sounds good to me. Privacy is always a concern no matter what the app/site/technology.
I wonder if they considered simply shipping with hashes for each byte of data of common files users may want to download.

Then users could "download" by brute-forcing each byte of data. This would not only keep the content private but also the metadata.

It might also speed up adoption.
Finally, all the tracking they've done on their users over many years could yield the best matching algorithm :|
It doesn't seem to do anything that a normal "Dating" app does. It's just a private friends list. You can already like and message people you have a crush on, without this. Who is this for?

"Secret Crush lets you match with people you already know on Facebook and/or Instagram."

Because what people have been clamoring for is to know which of their friends like them more than is mutual, so they can feel weird.

"You can choose to see other people who are using Facebook Dating that fit your preferences within the groups you are part of and the events you have attended or will be attending."

'Oh look, this person at this upcoming event is looking for a date! I'll go hit on them in person without messaging them.'
Indeed - they can’t have their cake and eat it, in other words. A high valuation can only be justified by a high margin.
Read and follow the bug reports, specially this one : https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=4625
I think this might be a (relatively) rare strategy error for Facebook. If the success of Snapchat, LinkedIn, and also the separate WhatsApp/Instagram properties proves anything, it's that there are very different faces of ourselves that we show to the professional world, to our friends, to partners, and to the world at large.

If I was facebook, I would very explicitly announce this as a spin out project, under a different name and brand. While HN has a good knowledge of the ultimate parent owners of apps, I meet a lot of people who protest facebook by moving to Instagram/WhatsApp. Even announcing this through the instagram brand would have made more sense to me.
What bothers me the most is that you tend to go from nearly pitch black to lifting the shades and now it's brighter than a billion suns because your eyes have no chance to react. Even leaving the room into a hallway that has minimal natural light from other windows is an issue.

The natural progression of the sunrise is very helpful to have your eyes auto-adjust by the time you open them since it goes through your eyelids with your eyes closed.

I'm not sure how to solve this problem in a way that's reasonable. Building a robot to unhook the trash bag based on the sunrise time is out of scope of what I want to do. Maybe some type of solar powered automatic curtain rod exists, I haven't looked but it's worth exploring. I wonder how others solve this. I feel like the solutions I'm thinking of are way harder to implement than it needs to be for such a common problem.
WeWork will not be in either the S&P 500 or the Russell 2000/3000 because last year they adjusted their qualifying criteria to exclude companies with multi-class share structures.[0] They didn't kick out any existing companies (why google, facebook et al are still in these indices) but no new companies will be added with multi-class share structures.

It seems like the USDA includes people on federal food assistance programs as being "food insecure. From your first link defining "Low Food Security"[1]:

"""
These food-insecure households obtained enough food to avoid substantially disrupting their eating patterns or reducing food intake by using a variety of coping strategies, such as eating less varied diets, participating in Federal food assistance programs, or getting emergency food from community food pantries.
"""

Since you seemed to have these ready, do you have these same numbers but for people without access to any (federal / state/ local) food assistance programs?

That is exactly why, FB is private. IG is cool and public, lots of people don't cross the two and tinder is in with the younger crowd. They are betting on this helping FB rather than driving the feature. FB knows that anything they make will be used by millions so at this point they are playing a different, longer game to try to drive general social impression. They know they are the default for a lot of things. Facebook's primary concerns and biggest fears are towards the impression of the company, privacy and 'cool' factor with the young crowd.

Intel (Quartus FPGA compiler) | Toronto, ON, Canada

Interested in working on algorithmically-complex C++ code to squeeze out every last bit of performance? Actually using advanced computer science knowledge outside of interviews and programming competitions? Optimizing graph-based algorithms simultaneously for runtime, memory, and quality of the resulting solution? Understanding the hardware as well as the software? Then working on Quartus, Intel's compiler for FPGAs, is for you.

You will work in a downtown Toronto location, with an amazing and diverse group of talented engineers, on some of the most intellectually challenging problems in the world, and your work will directly benefit areas like AI, telecommunications, healthcare, aerospace, finance and more.

I am looking to hire specifically for the Timing Analysis team, which is responsible for one of the most critical components in the Quartus compilation flow (all compilation decisions are ultimately aimed at making the resulting FPGA design faster, and to determine the impact of various decisions on speed you need a robust and efficient timing engine). My colleagues are hiring for other roles.
Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents preferred.

The 1080p 60fps is not quite as good as what you get in a 3 year old iPhone. It's fine I guess. It's fine. I'm going to guess the video has some arbitrary limit to record only 10 minutes at a time.

Still this is kind of what I was looking for. Thank you for the advice.

Sales and marketing are largely one-time expenses, but customers can have very high LTVs. So you can zoom into a particular quarter of a company's results and they can have huge losses. But, in the future they can dial down their sales and marketing expense, and be sitting on an extremely profitable business.

Most of these levels are actually concerns of different professions, which are today together comprise the art form called programming. For example coding will only become a profession when there will be very restrictive, agreed upon rules ranging from what kind of objects do we have (like service, dto, testcase, etc), how they look like, how they are named, where they are in the source code (with reference to the design of software), what is their maximum complexity, etc.
Remember: a profession is a type of activity which have rules, which minimizes the possibility of mistakes. Which means there are rigid rules, killing creativity.
Add a keypad like Ford has had on their vehicles for like 20 years. Have the computer keep a short list of one time pass codes (and maybe some sort of super long master code) that can be updated whenever the car is in cell service. So in the event that you get into the car, Zipcar can provide one of the one time use codes to get you in the door.

I want open hardware that is not super expensive! Does it look like it is going to happen? To me it does not, but perhaps someone is more informed and up to date.
Zipcar has RFID-based card access now. Sounds like they just need to cache an auth token locally when there is cell service saying how long the car may be used for. Although there's still an edge case that parking out of cell service range when the token expires will disable the car even if you extend the contract since there's no way to refresh the token.

Perhaps they could create an RFID token in their app and let the RFID-capable phones bear that to the car since it's much easier to move a phone than a car, not to mention potentially get wifi service where there is no cell service.

I know this is cynical (my Facebook bias is showing, I know), but I find it somewhat telling that they've delayed launching in any country that has implemented GDPR or a derivative of it.

I mean, I get that such laws may be a complication from a compliance perspective. There's a small chance this is due to their legal processes, not because of product reasons. But FB not being ready for modern privacy law when launching a product in 2019 makes me wonder what shenanigans they need to cover up before a European launch.
Dahlia: Predictable Accelerator Design with Time-Sensitive Affine Types [pdf]
But is it a distraction? To overuse the analogy, GP is proposing to yes, get most of the crew to spoon, to buy some little extra time while the engineering team is trying to fix the pumps. The alternative is to have the crew drink or pray to deities for the pumps to be blessed and magically start working.

If the development of the developing world is a problem, you can't expect the solution to come from developing world. On our end, like in the example of the ship's crew, most people aren't able to contribute to a proper solution - they lack the necessary skills and opportunities. Unfortunately (in this case), we live in free market democracies, which means there isn't a body that can reallocate huge amount of resources to retraining and retooling towards mitigating climate change. The market doesn't care, so we have to do things the hard way - we have to force our governments to force the market to start allocating resources, so that engineers and scientists and logisticians can deal with the problem directly.

I'm pretty sure the TSA uses a similar approach.

She basically has to plan an extra day every time she has a flight, since she has no idea how long it will take before they let her into security.

I've had people tell me all of the extra bloat/slowness in modern software is because it has more features, and because accessibility / localization is a thing more often. I'm not sure I actually believe that's true. Maybe accessibility and localization contributes to bloat/slowness, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be much much more efficient and keep the same features.
People don't support the concept of taxes even when they can directly see the positive impact the tax payment has on their own lives and on the community.

Latency could be significantly reduced with 5G, but would still be a problem if the operators are in other countries.

But, I think the bigger problem is coverage and reliability. Relying on mobile networks for this type of life-or-death functionality strikes me as extremely dangerous, and that would remain true even if we increased reliability by a factor of three.

I didn't downvote you, however the problem with your reasoning is that every country has literally hundreds of devices scattered around and measuring every day data that could make someone unhappy. The current US administration (which I deeply dislike as well) would gain nothing but the great risks involved should the agents be caught with the pants down. While they could well sabotage a few stations, there are so many around that hitting all of them is plain impossible. If we accept your theory, we should also take into account Russia as well since this happened about two weeks after that nuclear incident, and having sensors measuring radiations far away from the event would make them unhappy too. I'm assuming that station has radiation sensors on board although their presence has not been reported because they're cheap and it would be stupid not to include them especially in that area. Same problem as above: let's say some Russian agents managed to destroy that station, how would they deal with the hundreds or thousands other stations doing similar measurements around without risking a lot of PR damage if caught?

To me, assuming it was intentional, it was either someone needing spare parts for his projects (kidding) or someone who didn't want measurements to be taken in that area because they are involved in illegal dumping of pollutants or similar things.

edit: knowing the exact type of sensors on board would help a lot to find the motivations in case of deliberate sabotage; eg, a magnetometer can detect anomalies in Earth's magnetic field, such as those produced by big ships or submarines passing by.
