Luckily industry black listing was a major issue we already dealt within the late 1800's when it was common practice for local factories to share a black list of "trouble causing" employees so they literally could not work anywhere in town if they caused problems for a single companies, because that could potentially hurt anyone's bottom line. </sarcasm>

I love how an industry that claims to be so enlightened and educated barely cracks a history book when money gets involved.

yeah, I've seen $30 for a day pass for your guest when you've got a fancy membership, and Delta day-pass rates tend to be closer to $50 (similar to the rates they have here -- https://www.delta.com/skyclub/purchasemembership_performRequ... -- but you need to buy it associated with a ticket somehow so the only rates listed are bulk rates).

You can also buy the membership, or apply for the credit card that gets you the membership as a miscellaneous benefit.

For example, decreasing legroom and forcing disabled people into business class tickets they wouldn't have needed, were it 20 years ago when coach seats had enough room, is bad-faith activity.

How are coach ticket prices now compared to 20 years ago? It's not bad faith if it's a way of decreasing prices (by packing more people) for most clients.

Calling someone's employee a "random fuck-wit" is probably not a successful strategy to get expedited successful results from your customer.

Amazon goes above and beyond for their customers. As a publisher or marketplace seller operating on their platform, they are your customer. Amazon's reseller support is entirely different, in my experience, from how they treat consumers -- a bit less polish because it is an internal tool is to be expected, but it goes a bit beyond that. I was initially a little unhappy with that, but since I'm also a customer, it makes sense.

They clearly could do better here in escalation path, but don't expect hand-holding. Amazon isn't exactly going to go out of business because your book isn't for sale.
This article is ignorant in so many ways.

1) Apple did see this problem coming. See iCloud Photo Library.

2) Before smartphones, we had digital cameras, and what did we have to do with them? That's right, we took out the card and copied the photos to our computers. Just because your smartphone acts like a computer doesn't mean that you should treat it the same. Copy. Organize. Curate. Sync. Done.

3) What does one of your people's opinion of the iTunes logo have to do with the price of tea in China? Moreover, it cements the impetuous and immature tone of the article. Whining "look at me" is not how to get things done. Grow up and prove yourself.

Ladies and gentlemen, please think before you blog.
So has anyone built a site that lets you put limit orders on airline seats yet? I'd love to, say, have something automatically book a $250 flight across the country if the price happens to cross that threshold in the next week.
My experience with GC on Android is that it's nice when it works, but when you have to optimize you're screwed. I'd rather have a system like in Swift where the destruction of objects is deterministic. deinit can take care of releasing resources in time.

I can think of two obvious differences off the top of my head:

1) The family sued and won almost $2 million, which is what allowed them to pay for the ad campaign.

2) White people still generally have a friendly relationship with police. There is no systematic discrimination, brutality, and killing the way there is with (at least some) minorities.

In short, this difference is precisely what you would expect to see when a member of a powerful group is wronged versus when a member of a powerless group is wronged.
It would be nice if the author would include a sample page of where the hyphens are used.

That's United Club - that's not the first class lounge at all.

If you read the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Club it says you can buy access to United Club, but doesn't say that about the first class lounge. In fact it says:

"the access rules are significantly more restrictive than for United Club. Access to Global First Lounges is generally restricted to United Global First passengers, Star Alliance First Class customers, and Global Services passengers confirmed in Business Class."

In the first class lounge you get free food and drink including alcohol. If you could really get in for $50 a day, you could easily eat and drink that much worth.

That’s not the only nor the biggest nit you can pick with this essay.
To be fair, they're not forcing anyone into anything. As much as I loathe handing over my money to airlines - an experience I sometimes have to face three times a month - they are a for-profit commercial enterprise with no requirements for how they operate beyond government-imposed ones.

Want something legitimate to complain about when thinking of flying the friendly skies? Think about the airlines whining about the cost of fuel (and jacking up their ticket prices over 10%/year) when fuel prices are significantly less than four years ago when their whining was strongest.

Or, if you're like me, think about their failure to solve one major gripe by stating, "do not place your bag in an overhead bin at the front of the aircraft unless you're sitting in the goddamn front of the aircraft."

It varies by country.

For all the bad press about US inequality (and our health insurance system is a disaster) and for all our right-wing politics (the two-party system allows the authoritarian/psychotic 30% that every country has to gain a major foothold; EU loonies and racists are split between left and right but ours have been successfully corralled to right and "the base" of a major party) I will actually go on record to say that, at heart, Americans aren't very elitist or classist.

In other countries where the rich are held to be simply better people, and act with impunity, the rules are very different. See, the Midwestern neurosurgeon in the US is, in technical terms, not a fucking prick, so he doesn't mind sharing the lounge with a guy who bought a day pass. On the other hand, some lieutenant for a third-world despot, or some unionbusting murderer in a Chinese factory, is going to be pissed if he finds out that someone from economy class was let in to the lounge. So overseas, in countries where the rich are just a lot worse, a lot of lounges have no-day-pass policies.

You can bribe your way in, but that's icky. I have no problem with cheating a large corporation, but foreign airlines are pretty awful to lounge agents who are caught taking bribes.
As soon as it supports storing trait objects in smart pointers and casting them. That's afaik still not the case.
One additional note: While airfares do get progressively more expensive (on average) as you get closer to your flight, if you book too far out you will actually pay MORE. A lot of discount fares don't open until around six months before a flight (approximately), sometimes less. So if you book too far in advanced you'll pay close to a "full fare" (or at least miss out on some of the better discount classes). This, I suspect, is because the airline hasn't yet calculated how many discount classes they'll be opening up, so they just give you a "default"/safe price that they likely won't regret.

Just something to keep in mind from someone who often plans travel 6+ months in advanced. Booking flights 3-4 months in advance is fairly safe, longer or shorter and you might suffer for it.

Be authentically thoughtful

Authenticity is based on real, shared experiences and is sensed rather than rationalized. Thoughtfulness is a quality that comes from the heart with the best of intentions in mind. It is the deliberate consideration for the needs of others and an empathic understanding of what is most important.

Unity, not uniformity

By giving people a common starting place—and the freedom to innovate and experiment—we allow them to recombine ideas and build specifically relevant solutions, while staying connected to that common center point.

Southwest, as far as I can tell, doesn't change rates once they've published. Three rate tiers, optional early check-in to get a better boarding order position, and free baggage.

The most striking difference is that, in general, the flight attendants are happy. They smile. They joke around. Sometimes they sing songs. I was on a flight a few months ago where the entire plane played a game because it was someone's birthday.

If Southwest flies anywhere close to where I'm going, I make a point to fly with them. Even if they're slightly more expensive, the drastically less toxic experience makes up for it.

This strikes me as something that should have been a law since day one. We have checks and balances (and we can argue their effectiveness some other time) between the different branches of government, yet when it comes to the police departments (under the executive branch) there is no check or balance when the police departments screw up like when someone in the federal government screws up.
tl;dr: We need to have this law in every state.

Ride-sharing is not tolerated, it's specifically authorized by law - with a legal framework to make it viable.

Well, you have to think in each case what makes sense to you, look at the requirements of the project, team skills, candidates pool, etc and pick the best fit.

Choice of programming language is an architectural decision with a big impact and it can't come down just to preference or how nice a language feels, although that plays a part too.
One can also do quick prototyping in one language and the real thing in another one, although prototypes have a nasty habit of surviving into production.
Please do. Especially if I have "grammar matters" in big letters in those code headers and the code is about grammar.
Agreed. It's worse for technical books in my experience. The last few I've bought have had unreadable code samples and screwed up or just plain missing contents pages. It's got to the point where I'm going back to buying paper textbooks.
Sure but the nice thing is you can just add an extra catch all to the Grammar. Or better yet create a new Grammar for that specific sequencing machine and override the token.

For example just adding:

rule sequence:sym<seq> { <-[\>]>+ }

Would mean you can just grab anything without worrying about if it's correct. Because a tonne of people abuse FASTA doesn't mean you shouldn't at first attempt to enforce something valid. The nice part of that is you know within the parser if you have clean data or something with a badly defined character like * in DNA when it should just be X or N or one of the other confusion characters.

Also it's an advent post not some formal public codebase ;P The focus was on showing some of the more obscure features of Perl 6 that aren't like other languages. Python can look as crazy as you like, it's just the majority of people using it fall into the camp of avoiding the crazy. For example here's (https://gist.github.com/MattOates/6195743) some crazy Python I've written. The six line list comprehension is especially readable :P
Generally I only download/install new software because someone I trust (or a news site I trust) told me to. So my use case is already constrained initially to the use case I was introduced to by someone else.
> more to do with these languages having sizeable and fairly decent standard libraries.

Rust actually has a pretty small standard library. Since we have a package management system so early in the lifetime of the language, we're leaning on that rather than having a large standard library.

Just two days ago, a PR was opened to remove four more things from the standard library: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/19820

It's theoretically possible to cause someone's death just by turning on a siren or flashing lights at them. Does that mean that the threshold for using those things should be the same as for a gun?

Even if the threshold is the same, that doesn't mean that the pepper spray isn't a much superior alternative, especially for people who are supposed to be protecting civilians, including civilians they're arresting.

Do you have a citation about the statistics becoming European if you remove the US south? This PDF breaks down police-related deaths by region:

And while the South is higher than other regions, the others are hardly what I'd call "low".
I will never mind a "Hey, you misspelled «X»". I can agree "Ha, he misspelled «Y», he's such a complete moron" is annoying/disruptive, but I don't think the answer to assholes is to stop caring about basic grammar rules. Incidentally, as an outsider I've never seen people being as careless/clueless with their language as British/American people are. A result of the education system or society, maybe.
Great explanation, however why do I never see "Your fare has increased $55" on sites like Expedia but sites like CheapAir.com have it all the time. I expect Expedia and CheapAir.com have the same source of data therefore it does seem like a bait and switch situation.

If people are interested in this sort of thing, it also helps to read some of the works of Imre Lakatos.

In my words, not his, he advocates that real scientific progress happens by a sort of natural selection of theories. The basic idea is that new grad students pick whatever theories are most likely to easily let them publish science papers; so that basically certain theories make their grad students more likely to write papers with them inside. Those theories thereby "reproduce" and/or "die".

So, for example, we had an article here the other day which lamented why quantum mechanics was still Copenhagen-y rather than being dominated by pilot waves. The basic answer to this, following Lakatos, is that doing stuff with naive quantum mechanics and probabilistic thinking is easier for grad students to work with, as opposed to extending the pilot wave theory to encompass your new direction and then examining it for statistics.
Ask HN: Feedback on SaaS marketing sites as a service
Hi HN, I'm launching a new service next year for hosting marketing sites for SaaS products.

It's a lot of work to design, build and maintain a marketing site for a product, in addition to building your actual product and selling it. I was surprised that the only alternatives are Wordpress and generic site builders, nothing specifically for SaaS products.

So I decided to build one. If you run a SaaS product and want to give it a go, sign up here - http://gini.io/saassites

If you have any questions or feedback, please comment here or email me.

Thanks!
Your ideas regarding personal agency conflict in the post:

> Until we have a little more personal responsibility, I don't think illegal drugs should be legalized.

> It's your personal choice to play roulette with drugs.

The simple truth is that it is always a personal choice, whether it's legal or not. I accept that addiction would be a problem, but addiction is a mental/medical health problem, not a criminal issue. And it's totally fair to blame the government. Drug policy has allowed institutionalized racism to persist, even if not explicitly condoned from the higher echelons of command. Besides that, allowing these drugs to be legally used would allow companies to be made accountable for the health risks, the proceeds could be taxed by the government, and more than anything else, medical research could be performed on a number of these compounds as they hit the street.

In my mind, with how much young people these days talk about using molly/ecstasy, let alone research chemicals, testing kits should be more prevalent than condoms, but precaution is the kind of behavior that is stigmatized by overly judgmental people sitting in ivory towers like yourself.

As you limit your content to ~50km you limit what you can report on, and most of it, surprisingly isn't that interesting. CNN airs news 24/7 from around the world, and even they have to greatly hype stories to fill all their air time.

And on top of all of this political partisanship with news. You will easily lose 50% of your audience for reporting on a story "wrong" or in disagreement with somebodies political opinions.
