My entire experience with "hustle" in the context of making money was as a near-synonym for scamming people. Not until I encountered HN and related startup culture did I read/hear it used in that sense. I bet if I told most people I know without such exposure anything like "hustling is an important part of my business' success" they'd look at me funny, as they'd take it as an admission I commit lots of fraud or something similar.

Yeah there's the meaning in sports which was probably the first I ever encountered, but it's pretty different from the startup/business definition (one might relate them, but they seem to me to carry pretty different connotations) and again, in the context of some kind of money-making venture my association with it was 100% "scamming folks".
Mind expanding on that last bit? I'm working with a fairly convoluted Flask/Pylons based framework which I'd love to use Vue in but don't want to lose server rendering. Are you just piecing small components together that individually call apis or what's your setup?
Could you expand on how Forth differs from Lisp? I don't know Forth.
Airlines know that which is why the PR has been particularly brutal on Boeing. Everyone has tried to shift blame to Boeing overtly or covertly even as Boeing tried to shift blame to pilots, regulators, airlines etc. In this particular case, Boeing's PR machinery got overwhelmed and in this day and age of high social value if authenticity, the bland corporate legalese speak adopted by its spokespeople hasn't helped.
The center of a mass market grocery store is terrifying. Safeway carries something like twenty different kinds of marshmallows, but only one kind of, for example, ground corn. They don’t sell food.
> The reason I jumped down the parent's throat is because it reinforces the mistaken idea that scientists are okay with “moderately barbaric” things and indifferent to suffering. We aren’t!

I never said they were okay with it. Merely that they're still participating in it regularly, and need a way to justify it.
This was a very real and demonstrated vulnerability. Perhaps I've misunderstood your comment.
I live in Portland but I'm from somewhere that fluoridated the water. Every time I go to the dentist here they immediately know I am not originally from the area because of the lack of cavities.
Discarding the most volatile categories is not the same as throwing out the ones that increase the most. Energy prices fluctuate both up and down, so throwing out energy will frequently increase, not decrease the measure of core inflation.
First would be that there's no such thing as "California oceans".
Second would be that, just like with CO2, the fact that "it's rising!!$#!" does not mean much without a quantification of how much will that actually affect anything ("a sand beach rose by one billion grains of sand" would be an example of the trick used.)
Third would be open access to data and methodology, which is most likely lacking.
> it is sometimes hard to understand why public transport is treated so differently in US.

It is worth remembering that the US is much larger than all of Europe, is considerably less dense, and much of it was not well-developed until after automobiles were in wide use.

Public transit doesn't make logistical sense in much of the country. It does make sense in some places, of course, but it's less of a part of the national culture because there are so many areas where it's not a good idea.
Shouldn't the default assumption be that humans are affecting the climate and there is an underlying natural trend, and that adds significant uncertainty to the magnitude and sign of those two factors?

People always seem to talk as though it's one or the other, but it seems to me essentially impossible that it's not both.
Great relatable description with a motivating example.
You aren't taking into account the energy cost of separating substances from each other (understandable, since this isn't widely taught outside of chemical engineering). You can't get electricity by separating dilute carbonic acid from water, or CO2 from air. It's like trying to take the salt out of soup after you've oversalted it. Much better to stop before adding too much.
I'm currently broke and so not in the mood to explain it again like the entire world is five year's old. That never appears to do any good whatsoever anyway.

Suffice it to say I have six years of college and I've been divorced more than a decade -- and celibate for medical reasons the entire time, so not looking for some man to "take care of," which isn't really my cup of tea anyway -- and the degree to which my gender is a factor in my intractable poverty makes me spit nails.
> Making it free means that any expansion has become more expensive, and is now less likely to happen.

Making it free means more people will use it, which grows the interest group who will lobby to have it expanded.

If you think taxpayer groups advocating fiscal restraint have the edge over interest groups who want more spending, you'll need to explain why government budgets continually expand, even after adjusting for population growth and inflation.
There was a related chapter the last book of Robert J. Sawyer's "WWW Trilogy".

The AI throughout the thread survives for long enough to see Humanity evacuate the Earth given Sol's transformation to swallow the inner planets.

Copies of the Original AI had been spread across intersolar Human civilization, but the original technically speaking had to remain on Earth. That chapter was titled something along the lines of "Will the last human please turn off the sun" or similar [it's been at least 5 years for me on the reading].
I found it less interesting than I anticipated, but I think it was because we watched the PBS documentary in HS. So if you're short on time, then you could try that, it seemed to cover all the key bits :)
I fly SWA frequently, and not a flight went by without overhearing some person asking if this is a MAX8, and a number of people not realizing the MAX8 is a submodel of the 737 series.
Any other vets floored by this?
I feel like "delivering things" is a great night-shift job... There are some infrastructure changes needed, but they seem well worth it.
There are no emails with Turkish characters. The whole attack vector hinges on emails that exist with Turkish characters in the first place.
OK, yeah the "metal" part is fair. He showed asm.js and then posited that there would be something called "metal" that causes JavaScript to die and enables application written in more languages. And major apps could be ported to it.

Originally my conception of the video was more like this commenter below: It’s been a while since I’ve watched the video but its more about JavaScript becoming the universal assembly language.

I guess a lot of people are saying "he predicted this" without referring what specifically he is predicting.

FWIW it's not clear to me that WASM is going to do that. Everything I've heard from the team says that WASM and JS are complementary. Not that WASM will cause JavaScript to die.

I think there's some possibility of that happening in the distant future, but it's far from obvious. I think JS VMs will always be better at running JS than WASM VMs running JS engines, and all the JS out there will exist for a long time.

Also, JS is at a pretty good level of abstraction to manipulate the DOM, whereas C, C++ and Rust aren't. And it has some good syntactic shortcuts. Despite being a Python person, I would probably even argue that JS is better to manipulate the DOM, despite JS and Python being very similar otherwise. Function literals might be one reason.

So when people say "he predicted this", it would be nice to be specific about what the prediction was. WASM is a step in that direction but I would argue it's also fairly clear given that asm.js existed and he showed it. The real question is if WASM can handle all these use cases. Working on a language has made me appreciate many reasons that it's hard to make a polyglot VM. Tiny changes can bias your VM towards one compilation source vs. another.
I've not encountered the HN meaning of it outside startup culture, specifically. There's a kinda-similar definition in sports that's common but not quite the same, and then if you're talking about "hustle" as in "part of a money-making venture" it means you're running a scam or shady semi-legal or illegal business of some kind. Everywhere except HN and broader tech startup culture. Though that usage does seem to be spreading.

[EDIT] for context, my upbringing was very much not in "street culture"

[EDIT EDIT] I may be alone in this, but I dislike the HN use of the word on the grounds of both other definitions—the sports version strikes me as trying too hard to associate business with sports as a kind of borrowed glory or, in the worse cases, lame machismo, while the way it also—by my own prior association and in the ways the use of the term differs subtly from the sports meaning—brushes up against the "running a scam" definition is bad on its own, obviously, but also makes the sports association grosser, somehow.
I was impressed by the quality of PyPy errors!
Pretty niche indeed. Have you actually pulled off a PWA + Android + iOS in Scala?

PWA is easy enough with Scala/Scala.js but I assumed that Android + iOS was a sufficiently painful process to warrant avoiding the attempt. Thought about mixing in Cordova or perhaps Ionic via the excellent ScalablyTyped typings library, but the path of least resistance is to just use TS on the frontend.
"we can still avoid most of the negative effects if we want to"

There is (possibly a minority) view that no, we can't, and things are far, far worse than people think. That contrary to the idea that people exaggerate the threat, in fact it's been minimized to the point where we are about as prepared for it as we would be for a large asteroid strike.
Token Transit (YC W17) is hiring public transit enthusiasts
We believe that transportation needs to be accessible, affordable and efficient. We also believe that public transit in cities isn't just buses -- it is also bike shares, and scooters and any other way to get around.

Right now, we are working with nearly 100 city governments, Google Maps, Transit App (and similar apps) and a couple of bike sharing companies. If urbanism and equity are your jam and you are looking for your next gig, we would love to chat.

We are hiring for two technical roles (Mobile Engineer and backend Software Engineer) and a Director of Operations (to help us manage our agencies and partners). You can check out the listings on Angel List (https://angel.co/company/token-transit/jobs), and apply either there, or by reaching out to me for engineering (ekate@tokentransit.com) or my co-founder Sam for operations (sam@tokentransit.com) directly.
QE4
I think it’s a disingenuous interpretation to think I was suggesting one could talk to every native speaker of a target language.

With Spanish, say, I gain an immediately practical language that I can use weekly if not daily right here in the US. It gives me unprecedented access to the people and culture of Mexico, Spain, and much of the entire continent of South America. I gain access to a vast body of original literature, music, and media in Spanish that isn’t just a translation but unique to the language. These are the sorts of things solved by learning a language like Spanish.
Various levels of NLP do get applied in IF, but it doesn't necessarily help much. Being able to parse input is an important step, but the game/story needs to be able to do something with those verbs and nouns. For a good player experience the author needs to communicate clearly what range of input will be acceptable, making sure all nouns mentioned in text can be interacted, any actions implied in the text or by the nouns themselves are recognised, etc. If you do that well then you can have a good player experience with a purely handcoded parser.
> Total Reclaim grew into a fixture in the community, and in the process, Puckett and Lorch grew close. Puckett says he took Lorch’s advice on issues, brought Total Reclaim into internal meetings, and if a reporter interested in e-waste dropped in, he’d offer them Total Reclaim as an example of how to do e-waste recycling the right way.

This sounds like an example of being a poor regulator and then being captured by it. A regulator or an entity holding businesses to account should have no involvement in promoting or marketing their industry's best/favoured product.

Pockett fucked up by trusting this business instead of bolstering the local regulatory framework. So he promoted a monopoly on ethical recycling with his 'friend''s firm instead of pushing to legislate. And then he acts upset because this business acted in favour of money and not his personal ethics.

Separation of Corp and State should be equally as vital and constitutional as separation of Church and State.
There is a lot more detail about this and its aftermath available from other sources. Google "total reclaim Seattle".
A lot of the things you are talking about are spending. I think the savings glut theory is specifically about the demand for saving and loaning money for investments vs spending and borrowing money to invest, and there being a relatively high demand in dollars for the former. If you’re proposing decreasing saving via tax policy (on people with a high propensity to save) and increasing spending via fiscal policy, I think that fits right in.

Aside from wealth inequality increasing net saving (since wealthy people save a higher percent of their income), the trade deficit may also be a factor, since it means overall foreign countries are saving dollars (if they were spending the dollars we pay them on US goods there would be no trade deficit).

Low interest rates are a traditional way to discourage saving and encourage borrowing but interest rates are already quite low (real negative rates are a possibility with some inflation, but it’s questionable if investments that only make sense under negative rates are actually good investments).
> The last iPhone I bought was the 6S 4 years ago and I think it was $649 But now? The 11 Pro is $1000. WTF?

Ridiculous argument. Apple still makes a current-generation phone roughly on par with the price that you found acceptable. Just because they also added a more expensive mode does not in any way discount that fact.
Where's that? This was in Mountain View. I'll have to try again.
We use three versions of the email address internally: the exact verified address used at signup or the last valid email change, a normalized version of that (for identity) without + mailboxes, lowercased, de-accented, stripped of dots and other inert punctuation, and normalized in a number of other ways... and then of course the email parameter (only used during registration).

We accomplish this with a slightly more restrictive version of the standard ABNF provided in the RFC.

I guess I should probably document why we go to this trouble, in case somebody gets the brilliant idea to "simplify" it.
Community support is not the same as vendor support.

And the attendants to this incident list "excessive" use as a cause.

You're only look at about a 4% mixture to get there. It is entirely within the realm of possibility.
If the chip interface doesn't work, the backup is swiping. People talk like everything always works perfectly every time. The shinier a new technology is, the more unprepared people usually are for it breaking.

“The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.”
Yes; you're looking for 'capability based MMU'. The Intel i960MX/MC MMU had one, and development tools to support it (mostly in Ada). Unfortunately, Intel stripped/disabled the MMU in the vast majority of i960s it shipped and really only sold the MMU version in the military market.
It's unbelievable that the CEO still has his job.
That’s incorrect. The attack vector hinges on the ability to create email addresses with Turkish characters. There is nothing stopping an attacker from creating addresses with Turkish characters to attack existing addresses without Turkish characters.
More security may not be worth it, if the total costs of fraud go down, but they are largely shifted to the individual victim rather than financial companies. I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned a million times; have you ever considered it before?
A University can never develop a drug. Pharma companies are very large organisations with a great deal of embedded expertise, and have discipline born out of having to sell a highly regulated product in competitive markets.

Universities are... not that.
Ask HN: How to create a free developers oriented search engine?
Google is good, but google eat my data and love disturb me with ads.

Other solutions are very poor for indexing github, SO, ubuntu forums and so on.

Crawling efforts should obviously be disttibuted but how to store data and access them for free?
I think you might be able to go further and say carbs or without without fiber themselves are not necessarily bad in the absence of excess calories/overweight condition. Look at Japan or France where they consume relatively large amounts of white rice or white flour but lower calories and they have about half the diabetes of the US.
> Our diets are supposed to be 50% carbs.

No, they don't. We are very adaptable in that respect.

The issue is we depend on our intestinal bacterial populations to help digest food, and we can't change diet too fast, we need to give time to the bacteria to adapt.

I stopped eating more than 10% of carbs and if I eat too much of them now then I don't feel well until next day.

Those seem even more processed than many of the examples above.
Nit: did you mean opacity: 0?
All of those problems already apply to any government program. The answer is to calculate demand and allocate supply based on factors such as ridership. That will be less efficient in a sense than pricing, but not necessarily so, because pricing in a market with network effects and significant fixed costs can also create significant inefficiency. Pricing, especially pricing that exceeds the variable cost or has to include the cost of a fare collection infrastructure, can reduce usage and thereby reduce the network effect. Which is a feedback loop that can lead to a death spiral. That's hardly efficient either.

And ridership is effectively a price signal anyway, because even when there is no monetary cost there is still an opportunity cost.
I have a really hard time believing public transit could reasonably compete with the highway system with respect to return on investment. Consider how much food and consumer goods would cost without highway infrastructure never mind the secondary effects. Consider also that you would be making road travel prohibitively expensive for the lower classes.
What you'll never hear is how the bottoming of unemployment has preceded the last 9 or so market crashes. So it's quite the opposite in terms of being an indication of the market's good health.
Sorry I can't condone the use of AWS lambda@edge. No central logs aggregation in an event of an issue or alerting.
The unpredictable timing and long travel times occur as a unintended result of consolidating public transport options.

It starts when transportation planners get the "bright idea" to cancel lines that don't have some threshold of number of riders. On paper that looks good because it culls the lines that aren't as profitable, allowing the operating budget to shrink. In reality, it makes transit slightly less attractive, less flexible to riders, and it means that some places aren't reachable directly, conveniently or at all.

Decades of this kind of behavior coupled with increasing distaste for public expenditures and you're left with a transit system that only serves patrons whose time is worth almost nothing, who are desperate enough to burn 1-2 hours of travel to get to places that are reachable in 20 minutes by private vehicles.

I mean cloud is different for everyone, but for me a VM is far from cloud. It's the least differentiable item in each of their suite.
A billion dollar would be dirt cheap for a clean sheet design. The MAX program (including its engine) is estimated at $2B-3B. For a clean sheet successor a safe assumption would be 7 to 8 years to EIS and $15B in investment.
Our team at Wisdom has done the exact same. It's been confusing at times, but much better once we got going.
I'd say a post-truth world wouldn't be a world at all so to speak, because if everybody lives in their own filter bubble, with no access to a common world, the public sphere, where humans can have experiences and communicate, ceases to exist.

> You have to remember that in democratic societies citizens talking with each other is very important. We've lost a lot of that with the mass media. Now we have an opportunity for citizens to create their own communications with each other. So when these big deals with the big companies and the big governments carve up this new territory, I feel it's very important that we keep a kind of "social green belt", that we keep the ability for citizens to talk amongst each other.

> If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie — a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days — but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.

The rolling homeless shelter meme is a way to virtue signal against the existence of the homeless. I have been a consistent bus rider in Seattle since the mid 90s, and the bus is not a destination for homeless, much less so than the library. Many homeless people have bus passes legitimately, and are more respectful than the average rider.
Amazon Bans Third Party Sellers from Using FedEx
In my neck of the woods Amazon only uses their in house delivery for Sunday deliveries, otherwise it is UPS. A few months ago I had a 12 year old girl standing at the door with my package. I lightly joked, you look a little young to be driving deliveries around, and she responded that she was working with both her parents. When I asked if they waited in the car she said they were dropping packages at the neighbors. An entire family working on likely one wage. I've only used Amazon a couple times since then and never on Sunday again. If the other days start getting serviced by their in house delivery it will mean total boycott.
This is an organization that not only hosts a great deal of the worlds public/secret code, but is run by one of the largest data-gathering organizations on earth.

I don't believe Microsoft can permit things like this under it's umbrella if it wants to continue to pretend that it's data-collection is benign.
Another example SFO adds an additional ~$5 fee to leave or enter on BART, but drivers can arrive and drop off for free.
