My wife and I had our flight from Europe to Japan cancelled a few summers ago. The put us another flight via Bangkok. Added 8 hours to our journey. That became a really long trip.

Eventually we got the EU paperwork and filled it in meticulously. And to our surprise €600 each arrived within a few weeks.

As soon as the use of these type of apps become the norm the flight prices will probably go up a bit to compensate. Or maybe the airlines will be less cavalier about cancelling flights.
I am intrigued and tried to submit a claim for a recent domestic (USA) flight. However, the app update for US flights does not appear to have taken effect because I was denied for not being eligible under EU law:

I do not envy the College Board. We are in a social and political environment where many issues that bear directly on the test are things you can't discuss in polite company (e.g. whether IQ is a real and relevant phenomenon, the 0.8 correlation between IQ tests and the SAT, the correlation between IQ and socioeconomic status). This makes it extremely difficult to both optimize for their goals, and to communicate that to the involved parties. Because of this it's hard to even know what their true goals are and whether they are actually going to achieve them.
> Airlines aren't responsible for weather delays, full stop.

Yes, exactly.

"Airline-caused" means things like:

- flight crew delays/unavailable

- mechanical issues

- overbooking
I must've imagined all the things like emscripten, all the new WebAPI's that make Firefox OS possible, WebRTC, asm.js, etc...but then again I'm not a random internet troll which is posting vague and baseless comments all over HN.

It's awesome that you've tested Checkout and are confident that it helps conversion. Would you guys consider releasing the experiments that your ran? I think it'd be a great lesson in testing out products pre-launch.
Why Nerds are Unpopular
Out of curiosity, just checked the referenced paper[1] and there is no Korean/Japanese/French version of the questionnaire they used.

It's disappointing. We all know these kinds of polls can be easily gamed by subtle (or not-so-subtle) phrasing, and without the questions actually used, I have no way of knowing if the "Foreign Language Effect" actually exists or if their choice of words in the translation affected the outcome.

Someone else already pointed out the irony of glamorizing hacker identity and "living close to the metal," but the contents of that tribute being un-indexable or inaccessible from a CLI.

For me, it's more about accessibility for users with screen readers or Braille, or non-English-speaking users who want to translate it.

Don't fall into the common trap: you can like/appreciate something and still be critical of (all or parts of) it. I think the site is absolutely gorgeous and creative, but still a little irked that its presentation matters more than making it available to anyone but sighted English-speakers/readers with JavaScript enabled.
Are you being pedantic about forcing them or are you unaware that most U.S. states have notification laws that apply when a data breach involves personal information?
Have been using Checkout on https://deployer.vc and https://zoned.io - it's absolutely excellent: very easy to integrate, and looks really good. Will be switching over the other products as well over from PayPal.

I understand that the wording and the numbers chosen by the experimenters are intended to create two equivelent sitations, but the fact is, they do not. The sentence:

"If you choose Medicine A, 400,000 people will die."

Tells you that 400k people will die if you choose medicine A. It says nothing about what will happen to the remaining 200k. I believe it is illogical to assume that the sentence implies the remaining 200k live. Note that if you were to ask me in real life, I'd probably be happy to make that assumption but that doesn't change the fact that it is an assumption based on missing information.
I went with a Sublime Text style theme (monokai) for my personal website: http://kylepowers.com/

Pretty cool idea though.

Lots of different people on this forum, no offense was intended, and like all nerds I get excited when I get to share knowledge.

>How do you read my question and interpret simply it as "lets send all of the images in full and then give their index and call it compression?"??

Because it struck me as analogous, and yeah I'd call that compression - the message length for one is immensely improved.

Okay, so here's my admittedly piss poor understanding of most compression: you either find more intelligent ways to strip bits from the source in ways the consumer won't mind, or you find more intelligent ways to build reference tables given your problem domain.

I'm sure you know this, but the first one is why jpeg/various mpegs are successful: they have complex quantization models that eliminate gradients we won't notice or frequencies we can't hear.

The way you achieve better results is through building better models for how information in your problem domain is related. If we're compressing text and we know the language we can start referencing letter frequencies and index along that and so on.

The way this works in video to my knowledge is, amongst many other complicated things, they take NxN blocks of images and store only the deltas between Y numbers of frames.

So - perhaps you "image reference blob" could build a reference table for all 16x16 px blocks and transmit only the indices for them, and we're back at my original comment. But to my (again, please correct me) understanding those are kind of the only alternatives? Encoding and decoding is an interesting topic.

I very infrequently have to think in binary and I had perhaps too much fun counting to 10,000 on my fingers; my undergraduate was a long time ago and my knowledge on the topic sparse, so I'm interested in hearing more about it.
In public speeches they states completely another point of view. It's not even double standards, it's anti-human behavior
Absolutely. We count days, not consecutive days. So five weeks holiday effectively, plus bank holidays.
Didn't pioneer square just roll out broadband like a year or two ago on the city's dime because at $60k rollout cost none of the cable companies wanted to touch it? And that's supposed to a be a small business and startup friendly enclave!
You still have to do it though, it doesn't come that way by default. But you don't have to crack it first.
Sunrise problem
So no penalty for wrong answers increases the chances of an undeserved perfect score but decreases the test-taking skills advantage in understanding when to guess and when not to guess. The latter is much more common than the former.

EDIT: Said the penalty, meant no penalty
Looks great. Broadly speaking, can you talk about what you used? Just raw CSS animations / transitions?
