I'm a bit concerned about this...

On one hand, I'm a big proponent of "know your tools". I'll gladly use a fast sort function that falls apart when sorting arrays near UINT32_MAX size if I'm aware of that caveat ahead of time and I use it only in domains where the size of the array is logically limited to something much less than that, for example.

But on the other hand, I write operating system code in C. I need to know that the library functions I call are going to protect me against edge cases so I don't inadvertently introduce security holes or attack vectors.

If I know that some JS I'm interacting with is using fast.js, maybe there will be some input I can craft in order to force the system into a 1% edge case.

The lesson here is probably "don't use this for your shopping cart", but we need to be careful deriding Javascript's builtins for being slow when really they're just being safe.

This could well be a good book, but I found it really annoying that there isn't a price on the landing page. Especially when you're offering 10% off for HNers - 10% of what?

If I've got to click the 'get it now' button just to find out the cost, I'm more likely to click the little cross on the tab.
There is a market-clearing price. Call it $N. That's the level at which people willing to pay $N can always get a parking spot. For a smaller value of $N, someone wants to get a parking spot by paying $N can't. (That price might even be $0 if you have more supply than demand. Some economists will talk about "The High Price Of Free Parking," and there's something to that, but if the city decides to make the market-clearing price $0, then they should do it by always having enough supply available.)

If you decide to distribute the limited resource in a fashion besides money, such as a lottery, you have an inefficient system. Instead of paying money, people have to drive in circles, or queue, or wait to find out the results of a lottery. No one benefits by this. If you are trying to help the poor, just give them more money, and they will decide on their own how valuable parking is to them.

For the record, I fully support the city deciding that these other people don't get to extract the city's rents. The city should stop people from occupying a public space merely because they want to get paid to move on. It's the city's resource to sell. (And maybe the market clearing price becomes $0 once you kick out the people who are making a problem just to be paid to stop making it -- which is the definition of a racket.)

Because that's what balances the supply and demand. Artificially low prices are precisely what cause shortages.

The kind of world you describe would far more efficiently allocate resource--even helping people to determine whether or not to drive versus bike versus walk versus other transportation. It also would help people determine the actual value of their property: should it be a house? A restaurant? A parking garage?

Did you read the article? These functions are not 100% equivalent.
California isn't issuing fines, San Francisco is. And, yes, either can issue fines to a company irrespective of where its headquarters is located, though its ability to actually collect fines may be limited.

OTOH, any company doing business in the San Francisco probably has assets or income streams that are going to be subject to the jurisdiction of courts through which either the City and County of San Francisco or the State of California could act to enforce fines.

>Why should this public resource be priced at the highest rate the market will bear?

Because it's the only reasonable choice? Overly cheap parking is not just inherently stupid and wasteful, it also generates other problems:

"cruising for curb parking generates about 30 percent of the traffic in central business districts"[0]

You seem to think that paying for something is somehow inherently immoral, while being lucky and finding it first is virtuous and good. May I ask why?

Cities that have started using the price mechanism have seen great results.[0][1]

"Android phones in that price range are generally extremely bad quality, but this seems to be a very decent package." - Not the Moto E
Yeah you're right of course. I worry though that to "do it right", to get rid of my pathological need to work that I have to go too far the other direction for a while. Not that I wouldn't do dishes and stuff like I do now, but if I'm worried about what I should be doing every day it kind of defeats the purpose. Maybe I'm more worried about it than I should, but I'm pretty sure I use being busy as a shield against being 50% househusband. (I realize this I stupid. I wish being self aware were enough to change a thing)
Maybe it's a matter of time until this app catches on in other large cities. Nobody likes spending ~30 minutes searching for a parking spot.

More likely, cities will find a way to auction off parking spaces, in real time, as a source of revenue. This can be zoned to high-congestion / high-activity neighborhoods, like anything else. Not much different from parking meters, in basic conceptual terms (which I've heard also weren't so popular when they were first introduced). Or congestion pricing.

But the idea that people "own" the parking spaces they're sitting on, and have an inalienable right to extort as much money as they'd care to fancy from the next hapless driver -- let alone that the "market" for this kind of an activity has an inalienable right to exist (just because someone created an app for it) -- is, well, very Silicon Valley.

Will this play nicely with the package management tools OSes already have, or is this going to end up being yet another source for files/packages to accumulate that are outside the view of well-documented and designed administrative tools?
>> "You would be no better than a group of highwaymen holding up a bridge"

That situation isn't analogous. If you'd paid via parking meter for a space, then reselling it is merely simple arbitrage. You've already paid for the right to use that spot.
> The reality is that SF should be auctioning off these spots on its own.

The purpose of paid, time-limited public parking isn't to maximize revenue (though providing revenue is not unimportant) , it is to maintain availability of spaces so that people can use them and promote commerce.

Auction off spaces -- e.g., maximizing the cost to park -- is not really ideal for serving that goal.
It really saddens me that this happened. And when I wondered why someone would do that, I got reminded of the dialogue from The Dark Knight "Some people just want to watch the world burn."

this library does not overwrite any native functions or manipulate any prototypes, you have to call the fast.js versions explictly - it's opt in.
In the USA many people grumble if the city wants you to pay only a couple dollars a month in return for the privilege of being allowed to park along the side of the public streets, on top of a patch of asphalt that probably costs the city many times as much to maintain.

I've heard people complain that it's communist for the city to charge for parking. Because here in the USA socialism means, "Either giving free things to people who aren't me, or not giving free things to people who are me."

TLDR: if it's a limited resource ("more demand than supply", colloquially), allocate it by money. If you want to help the poor, give them money instead of breaking the market for the resource.
On a related note, this book (http://www.treesmapsandtheorems.com/) is excellent.

I'll wager a guess that it's because the stakes of being wrong on climate change are pretty high.
When, what? Is it happening now or in a week?
The native versions have to/should 100% support the language spec and historical behavior. In this instance, it means they can't optimize much that iterates over a sparse array.

Well, it's more complicated than "thinking the opposite"; it's more along the lines of "thinking the opposite of what hurts the wallet".

Religion is a correct analogy. If in a certain culture, women are submitted, that doesn't hurt people outside it.

People globally feels - and is, actually - threatened by global warming, so it's understandable to have ahem heat directed to people with power and without sense of collaboration (and I'm using an euphemism here), which is the current requirement for working out the problem.
Well it does meet the definition of a private good (excludable, rivalrous.) Maybe it should be treated like all other private goods and rationed by price. I guess in theory the money can be given to poor (if it's done by the city which owns the parking spots.)

I'm not saying that it's the best solution, but it does seem arbitrary to have some private goods rationed by price and others rationed by lottery. Just because "that's the way it's always been". In any case this app or rather the people using it don't rightfully own the parking spaces, but they are taking advantage of a market inefficiency.
>Why should this public resource be priced at the highest rate the market will bear?

I would have no problem if Edinburgh -- where I live -- adopted that policy for car parking.

Car parking spaces are not "everything in the world".
Sounds like you're flirting with the answer. Eventually, you hit a point where your health becomes more important than 10 billable hours a week.

I made this leap this year, explicitly cutting down to 4 day weeks and making fitness a priority again.

The previous 3 years were my least healthy on record. Two separate month-long flus and that annual six-month cold thing that never seems to go away. Coincided nicely with committing to a 40hr/week contract.

I'm 5 months in to this now. A bit less billed than this time last year, but not a sniffle in all that time.

Grand Rounds, a health tech startup, raises $40 million
I tend to agree with that sentiment.

I suppose I was just thinking about the city I live in. Here, the meter prints out a receipt that the driver leaves on the dash of the car. People often will give the receipt to someone else when they are leaving their spot. Of course this practice is illegal, but I don't think it should be if the spot was paid for. Of course, it would be douchey if people started selling these tickets for high prices (that would be seeking rent from a public good), but I would have no problem buying a ticket off of a guy who wants to get his remaining three bucks back.

But I suppose you are right, there is no "good way" to get something between price gouging anarchy and outright banning of the practice.

The nest learns how long it takes to heat your house so if you wake up at roughly the same time every day it will start heating the house 30 minutes before you wake up.

e.g., you always wake up at 6am on mon-fri and it takes 30 mins to heat the house then it starts heating at 5:30am, but on saturday you sleep in until 9:30, and the sun has already raised your homes temp a few degrees and it only takes 25 then it starts it at 9:05am.

Fair enough. Why doesn't the title of the post say so then? "Faster incomplete versions of Javascript native functions" would have been a better summary.

Or even discuss the fact that if this library is good enough for people to use then maybe the edge cases that the native versions are covering might not be so useful after all?
As a non-native english speaker I find this product and the overall idea absolutely fantastic. We can pick and choose the tools we use, but most of us across the board could use a little help with communication and writing.
Let's flip this:

1. I will award $10,000 of my own money to anyone that can demonstrate, via the scientific method, that man-made global climate change IS occurring;

2. There is no entry fee;

3. You must be 18 years old or older to enter;

4. Entries do not have to be original, they only need to be first;

5. I am the final judge of all entries but will provide my comments on why any entry fails to prove the point.

Obviously not hard to see how a global warming denier could get away with not paying anybody.

Does anybody seriously believe that would prove anything either?
Hmm, well, rust's brew seems a little outdated (0.10), so if you are intent on using Cargo soon, I would recommend on building rust yourself or grabbing a new binary from their website.
> TLDR: if it's a limited resource ("more demand than supply", colloquially), allocate it by money. If you want to help the poor, give them money instead of breaking the market for the resource.

If it is a public resource with a single public issuer, you don't have the requisites for a functioning market anyhow, so not auctioning it doesn't "break the market".
It's not efficient if you park longer, waiting for someone who's going to pay you, rather than just pull out and let anyone else in. Drivers are being paid explicitly for making the allocation less efficient for everyone apart from the app user. It's the tragedy of the commons again.
From the article: Grand Rounds will either match you (and your medical records) with the top two nearby physicians specializing in your condition, handle the appointment logistics, and follow up to see if you received appropriate treatment --or-- will match you with a physician specializing in your condition, who will issue a written opinion “in a matter of days.”
Michael Schumacher scam proves scammers know no bounds
Somehow that doesn't seem to be possible.

The entire question is a fraud of course : the argument for climate change is based on statistical likelihood of existing trends continuing based on past measurement. While that does satisfy some standards used in science, no scientist in his right mind would refer to that as "proven", because it isn't.

So here's my version :

1) There is no argument from either maths, or even a simulation from first principles (NOT measured data and statistics and correlations) that shows a scenario like global warming.

2) principle of the excluded third ("tertium non datur") was an accepted standard in logic before Christ was born. It states that any statement that cannot be proven from first principles is disproved just by that fact (NOT wrong, but that wasn't asked)

Ergo, climate science disproved. Or at least, there is no known proof. There is loads and loads of statistical correlations indicating it exists, but there is no correct argument from first principles known, which is what I'd require to say "proof". It is overwhelmingly likely (well I haven't checked, but I believe them) that it exists, but not proven.

Now please keep in mind what I am and am not claiming here before you vilify me. I am claiming that climate science is very far from satisfying the standard used in exact sciences that is referred to when scientists use the word "proof".

Obviously I am not claiming that global warming will reverse or is just a mistake or whatever. The graph has been rising pretty constantly for 150 years or so, and yes, it absolutely does not look like it will reverse. This is however very far from having an explanation from first principles for climate change.
But this mindset gets applied to everything, and people valiantly leap to defend it as applied to everything because apparently if it's a market it must be virtuous.

I live in Southampton I know a bunch of people who would have a problem with this becoming the norm there - poorer local people would be priced out of city-centre parking as we have a regional shopping-centre. A first-come first-served basis lets everyone have a chance at access rather than reserving for those who can pay most.

Have you thought about re-evaluating which product verticals you go after first, based on cost of Adwords (or similar PPC) clicks? Sounds like your site/search solution can be targeted to any product bought over the web, so maybe you should re-consider which product searches to focus on as a matrix between the overall attractiveness and the marketing cost to get your initial users. I haven't looked at the cost of PPC for different verticals in a long time, but I'm pretty sure electronics is a very competitive vertical.

No need to apologise, it's what the downvote button is for :)

My comment wasn't intended to be callous - rather to reflect the fact that success and failure aren't as absolute as "the business failed". She is a success, insofar as she has a great support network, a laudable track record, and a press that wants her to speak her piece. The business going to pot means that it failed in its principal objective - but doesn't mean that it failed as a vehicle for those involved. I suppose what I'm saying is the business failed, she didn't.

I am a failure, in the same light, yet my business functions and grows like a weed. It is not a vehicle for me, however. The business is a success, but every day feels like a failure, as I had not intended to still be doing this eight years down the line.
