Sullenberger's testimony to the House Committee on Aviation: http://www.sullysullenberger.com/my-testimony-today-before-t...

And ironically, William Langewiesche (whose reputation for aviation is based, aside from being a pilot himself, on his father, Wolfgang Langewiesche) wrote a book on US Airways 1549: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_by_Wire
A Prenup Is the Latest Must-Have for Tech Startup Founders in Love
Indeed - Apple’s Ping came to my mind right away. It’s right up there with “slofies” in terms of instant-cringe-factor. They euthanised it pretty quickly, though I suspect some of its hellspawn lives on in Apple Music’s recommendation algorithms and curiously all-or-nothing ‘love’ (in lieu of iTunes’ more nuanced five-star ratings system).
Food delivery in cities doesn't use cars, it use bicycles (increasingly of the e- variety).
This is completely wrong. If you watch air crash investigation, the majority of pilots who saved planes under extreme circumstances were fixed wing enthusiasts, often flew small planes or gliders for fun.

Especially in situations like the MAX crashes you need a feeling for the aircraft.

I'm astonished what this has to do with masculinity, which is of course not outdated (watch who women date ...).
Don't do that. People may spit out their coffee. ;-)
> If the paper is too specialized for something general like Nature, then they probably shouldn't publish it.

FYI, this is a well-known polite euphemism. Papers aren't put in Nature because they avoid being too specialized. (Try reading a Nature paper today, and compare with a paper in a specialized journal a few decades ago.) They are put in Nature because they seem super impressive, and so even people outside the subfield might care. Saying "this paper is more appropriate for a specialized journal" just means "this paper isn't impressive/important enough for people to care, so we're not going to publish it in Nature, the highest-status journal".
Occupancy with rent-control is virtually 100% and guarantees the desirability of non-rent controlled units in the same area.

It's an interesting point, but I don't think would crack the top 10 list for reasons rent control is bad.
data analysts as in data scientists?
I've found it difficult to hire full-stack developers with at least a year of react experience. Interviewees usually only know enough to be dangerous, or have experience with Node/JavaScript and express interest in growing on the frontend

Hiring those same people has gone really well, similarly becoming comfortable after a few weeks of working with react
In tech, sure. But there's also a huge chunk of innovation driven by open source. If Google had standardized on MS Windows instead of Linux, then MS would still be at the top of the heap.

The barrier for entry to tech is very low for technology, which means that competition is also higher, which then drives more innovation.

With pharma there is a cash outlay required to research and manufacture a drug, even if it's off patent. Software just needs a computer and time.

The problem With this tech vs pharma argument seems to be the comparison of two sectors which aren't apparently the same at all.
While I agree with this, and I will end up troubleshooting the issue and figuring it out this week, it kinda proves my point. I would not need something like this in macOS.

On the other hand, if I did, I don't have the same troubleshooting power I would have with Linux. I guess /u/nkoren is right, computing in 2019 sucks.

So the 'whopping' 667% increase is not on Prozac as a whole, but actually only on a liquid version of the drug. Prozac is a generic medication, so there is competition here.

ITV bought it and, even at the time it was obvious, had no idea what to do with it.

It seemed like a lot of those early 2000s British tech businesses, like Jungle.com, where there could’ve been something really huge but the lack of investment culture meant they got outpaced by better funded rivals from overseas.

It's hard to find anything very close to sedición, particularly given that I've understood that the Spanish Supreme Court has now found that threat of force or violence was not involved, apparently (?) basing their decision on the very broad sounding "outside of legal means" part.

If I'm not mistaken, the lockout period expires Nov 10th.

GPS jamming is ridiculously easy. You can buy $50 devices off Alibaba that fit in your pocket and only require you to flip on a switch.

Jamming cell signals is much harder because there are so many different bands and the transmitters are much more powerful. It requires bulky expensive hardware and some expertise to do it properly.

Plus you are more likely to be noticed if your vehicle is a rolling cell deadzone.

I listened to a talk a couple of years ago from a company that specializes in detecting GPS spoofers and one of the side effects was that they were able to watch people cheating their rental mileage agreements on box trucks via GPS jamming as they drove around London. The jammers would trip their sensors one after another as they drove down the road. There were hundreds of them operating in the city during the day.

Modern journals have no limit imposed by the process of publishing physical objects. Space is limited simply in the sense that Nature wants to maintain a reputation for publishing impressive/important results, and readers have very finite time and energy, so Nature sets a high bar for acceptance.
The software industry has high per-employee profit too, that’s the leverage that pays the high salaries in the first place.

None of that has to do with this company or the profits not funding new research.
Just dedicate all car parking to bike storage, and there'd be plenty of room.
I agree - I actually built the thread pool stuff for work while I was testing, since I had the code from a previous project.

If I was more worried about Safeway catching on I'd probably do something as you suggested (at the very least I'd add user agent headers and the other cookies expected from a real session, as right now it's trivial to detect my requests).

Sneaker bots do this exceedingly well - it's a constant cat and mouse game to make the requests look as human as possible, very interesting space right now.
Ask HN: What questions should I ask when considering job at early-stage startup?
As we all know, early-stage startups are inherently more risky (and potentially more exciting/rewarding) than more established companies.

I include in this category, for example, a company I'm speaking with now that has 50 employees and $20M in Series A funding.

Some questions I ask are 1. how's the business doing in general, what are the prospects? 2. what are plans for headcount over the next 6-12 months? 3. what are the biggest risks? 4. what's the relationship with investors like...is there more funding/runway if needed?

What are other questions you think would be most important to ask?

Even if it doesn't take out the whole city because no one can afford to live there, the people governing the city have a duty to represent the interests of the people who live there.

Generally (well, tautologically), people are interested in living in desirable areas. What is the benefit to the citizens of the city of allowing homes in those areas to be used as investment vehicles for wealthy foreigners? Why should they care at all about the interests of people who aren't going to live there?

Prioritize people who actually live there and if some billionaire who lives somewhere else absolutely must have a pied-a-terre, they can pay 20% or 50% or however much of the value of the home each year for the privilege.
> If your wife or child was mowed down by a normal car, would you be more supportive of autonomous ones?

Yeah, its an interesting dichotomy. I've been to funerals for people mowed down by "normal" cars. I know the stats. I'm more supportive of autonomous cars.

I also know that if the situation were reversed and the people closest to me were affected by autonomous vehicle accidents I might have an strong emotional reaction in the other direction.

The human mind just isn't rational when it comes to these things. It will take real leadership and risk taking on the part of manufacturers to get past this impasse.
The author of the article points out that he's not really a "couponer"; he wouldn't bother with the coupons if he had to go through and look through them all. He buys what he wants to buy (decided ahead of time, not through a process of looking at the app), and his daily batch job having added all the coupons and possibly getting him a discount on the stuff he was already going to buy is just a bonus.
My understanding was that as it's a progressive disease, there are milestones in progression that help predict future events. Things tend to shut down in a particular order, and at a certain rate (based on past events and stressors).

One of those future events is losing the ability to breathe. Which is just horrifying to think about.

I had a Nokia 3650 when it was released sometime in mid-2003, and it was a bona fide, if utterly hideous, Symbian-running smartphone. I remember writing a custom plugin for Apple’s iSync utility to make it inter operate with my PowerBook G4.
Ken Thompson and David Richie, Joe Osanna, Bob Morris, Dough McIlroy listed in the first game created UNIX. Ken was motivated by wanting to play games on the Bell Labs PDP.

"As a part of porting the game to the PDP-7, Thompson developed his own operating system, which later formed the core of the Unix operating system. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Travel_(video_game)

Now the web runs on Linux which is similar but is not UNIX. I think its a good honor by Bell Labs creating a game that we can play.

It's not too hard to imagine that SEC staffers have an interest in some of the things they're not going after and don't have an interest in things that they are.

In particular, it sure seems to me that surprises in SEC enforcement seem oddly correlated with the offerings that I know were really liberal in handing out premined coins to 'advisors'.
> You just can't derive a revenue from them.

I wish this were the case, but you cannot distribute them either. I would love to collaborate with a team on an app that let's you instantly query all books ever published and revenue from that is the least of my concerns and it would be easy to do if we weren't forbidden from doing that by intellectual slavery laws.
To be fair, Sprint was doing REALLY poorly, and I'm not sure what could have saved them except a merger.

Looks like most people here recognize it's silly to think Nature was foolish for not always recognizing Nobel-prize-worthy work when it first appeared. (The journal might be foolish for plenty of other reasons, of course.) But for those who are still surprised, you should just think of this like making fun of VCs for not recognizing the future success of AirBnB (or whatever your perferred example start-up that seemed weird/unpromising but turned out to be wildly successful). This stuff always seems obvious in hindsight.
> Thankfully I've never ran into the EMS and XMS fun, but I can imagine that some aspects of DOS would feel very arcane to younger people.

Yeah, game playing as a young person in that era was wild. I recall at one point I had an entire bootloader full of multiple choices of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS pairs based on which EMS or XMS needs I had. Some games would require one config, others a second, Windows 3.11 sometimes a third, (then when I had OS/2 installed, that was yet another set boot options).

Then there were fun crazy things like: boot into Win 3.11, for its protected mode fixes to activate (not that I knew at that age that's what was the magic, that's a more recent learning), immediately quit Windows, then the launch the game.

(Similarly, there were at least a couple games that I recall ran better in a DOS window in OS/2 than anywhere else. Again, probably fun combinations of protected mode fixes and EMS/XMS management TSRs built into OS/2 versus the other commercial ones games were often bundled with, or should have been bundled with but forgot or packaged an ancient broken version because it was cheaper…)

So much of it at the age I was doing all of that was trial-and-error based almost solely on obscure error messages and trial-and-error. I remember being really proud of my boot-loader scripts saving multiple configs and making it easier to switch between them, rather than what a lot other people I knew were doing of just constantly changing their one set of AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS and having no idea what last worked for some previous games and always trying for some lowest common denominator that ran the most things they could as best as possible. (I had to maintain some of those types of configs for a couple labs I was unpaid labor for, but that's another set of tales.)

It's kind of fun looking back and having a slightly better idea of the "magic" behind a lot of the trial-and-error, though as much as I can reminisce about it I also probably wouldn't want to ever do it again. So much better to have emulators automatically deal with that stuff today.
The Forbes article glosses over the tremendous amount of work needed to move a candidate that works on cells in a dish (or a mouse) through clinical trials and into something that can be picked up at CVS.

He's had it for at least a year. The disease gets progressively worse with time, and eventually causes patients to lose the ability to swallow or breathe. Doctors can probably give him a good estimate of time left based on symptom progression.

I personally know of a recent fatal that likely wouldn't have happened even with the (garbage) ADAS in my current car.

Chromebooks are "Linux" depending on which definition of Linux you want to use, and getting a Linux environment with some root access is possible without disabling Google's code signing - a VM is run, where you have root, with all the overhead that implies. (I hear it's fine when running on powerful hardware, but it's a bad time on cheap Chromebooks.) It's not really root, eg, you can't change the wifi MAC address of the host. (Yes, it's 2019, and I still find myself doing that. Yes it's stupid.) You can disable the code signing and get true root, without having to fully go in and install a desktop Linux, with all that implies (positive and negative). There's a boot screen that can be disabled but that requires opening up the hardware.

It's certainly nice, and a viable option these days, but I wanted to give caveats, as it's imperfect. I used to be a Thinkpad person (I miss my trackpoint dearly) but I'm on a Chromebook these days.
Flash Boys is written to entertain, though, not inform. It is littered with inaccuracies and dramatization to the point of lying.

Front-running, for the record, is illegal and nobody does it. Michael Lewis perverts the phrase to mean "using publicly available information and extremely expensive- though publicly available- radio technology to move stock information faster than competitors". Which you might still think is "unfair", though I would argue it's only unfair in the same sense that WalMart and Target make it hard for small shops to compete because they can't afford ultra-efficient trillion dollar supply chains. It's not illegal, it's objectively more efficient, and the only thing that prevents anyone from "just doing it too" is capital.

"Dark Pools" by Scott Patterson is a much more educated and in-the-know look at electronic trading.

I picked the word funnel because I'm on HN and that's the quickest way to convey that showing me a signup screen before I've done anything of value is going to lose me. Unless I clicked a button to sign up or went to do something that I have an intuition would result in a signup page, I usually click control-w before I'm conscious of why.

Most users don't care about leaderboards and global leaderboards have been shown to have a demotivating effect. There's a reason why most games that show leaderboards now default to a friends leaderboard, with the global one tucked away behind it.

Forcing a signup to enable something I don't care about doesn't seem like a great bargain to me. Prompt me to sign up in order to save my progress and I might do it. Prompt me as soon as I interact with the page and I'm out.
