I'm surprised he didn't mention the volumetric efficiency of compressed hydrogen compared to gasoline when comparing the specific energy density of the two fuels. Yes, you have more than 3x the energy per unit mass, but you have more than 5.5x less energy per unit volume. So instead of a simple 12 gallon gas tank, you need a 66+ gallon pressure vessel adding plenty of weight and taking up volume that would otherwise be useful for cargo or other purposes.
Ah. A 409A is supposed to represent the FMV on that date. 5.99 months later, I'd argue that the FMV is more likely than not different. But I now understand what you first said.

Best wishes on your search!

"From a business perspective what is the incentive for twitter to solve such a problem?"

From a business perspective, being perceived as a platform for trolls and harassment is really bad for the brand - even if its a minority of users who are causally throwing out rape threats and other abusive garbage at other users, they are incredibly toxic.
My immediate reaction upon reading this headline and story was "Wait, this is in BuzzFeed?"

Probably the first time I've noticed a BuzzFeed article on HN, definitely the first time I've upvoted one.
Maybe they are "best careers" (although I highly doubt it - e.g. traders are way better careers), but we're talking about "prestige" here - the wow factor when you tell people what you do. When I say I'm a programmer, many roll their eyes (while acknowledging that it's easy for me to get a job). Granted I'm not a lawyer or a doctor, but let me know when they start making series about programmers like they did about lawyers (Boston Legal) or doctors (House, Grey's Anatomy).
I can't seem to locate definitive sources at the moment, but it's mentioned often[1]. My general understanding of it is that the MOP is heavily influenced by CLOS, and the object system heavily influenced by the Smalltalk traits paper, which may itself have heavy CLOS influences. The easiest way to figure out just how similar they are may be to look at the Perl 6 docs on both the MOP[2] and Objects[3]. There's also the synopsis[4] documents which guide the design.

In addition, Perl 5's Moose[5] object system (and relatives Moo, Mouse, etc) are also heavily influenced by Perl 6, CLOS and Smalltalk.

Asians play a doubly unfortunate role in the anti racist movement.

On the one hand, they share the same guilt as Whites, since they cooperate with and benefit from White society.

On the other hand, anti Asian sentiment is used as an escape valve, allowing people to "harmlessly" express their racist feelings. It also is a way to pretend to allow freedom of expression, by allowing racial jokes about Asians, and criticism of Asian culture (which I see a lot of on HN).
Anyone remember DESQview? It allowed you to run multiple fullscreen text mode applications and switch between them by double-tapping the alt key. I used to run Telix and Wordperfect at the same time and could still get a DOS prompt if I needed one.

It would be fun if he gave the accounts to people doing amazing things in the country rather than to the government. Not saying the respective governments are doing a bad job, just that a country is more than a government.
ex-FC researcher here. pretty much gets it. some other context: it's hydrogen for cars because of the chemistry ie, start-up, shut-down and response times. most FC claims are more of a 'displaced emmissions' scheme than zero-emmissions (unless you're in say, NZ where we have @#$# loads of renewables on our grid). PEM fuel cells are limited to 100 dC due to the hydrogen ion transport via liquid water - that's a problem. at this temp you need exotic metals like Platinum to crack the molecules open for rxn - that's a problem, especially if you're into ethical mining/sourcing. FC cars will need to operate like whiteware or, well cars do now but literally be a small chemical plant. storing hydrogen isn't as easy as people think, it can really screw up 'normal' metals (lone protons are very tricky little @##@s to keep track of). having said all that, FC are fascinating from a tech perspective but IMHO, reasonably sized, high temperature FCs working in highly deregulated markets are about the only place they'll work at all and even then, there's a lot of competition with faster technology iteration rates. i've been reading the same articles since the early-90s - FC car tech is always about 10 years away.
I read it and I second the recommendation. It's a very good post.
Rent control is moot, there are less than 1000 rent controlled units, and as their tenants leave they cease to be rent controlled.

Without rent stabilization, even with a decent job in tech, I would be commuting 2 hours each way (or sharing a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 other people) instead of 35 minutes.

If rent reflected current building sale trends in my neighborhood, my rent would be increasing >60% year over year.
Sorry, but what planet are you from? Every day we're bombarded with stories and images from the developing world of men, women and children trying to make a living. Villagers migrate to cities seeking work. People work in factories and make a better wage than they could anywhere else without education. Women take micro-credit to start up little businesses like mobile phone call booths, or charging booths, and finance their childrens' education. (Women are seen as better clients for credit because they're less likely to spend the money on drinking and gambling.)

Look at the tech sectors in Europe and India and Asia--they don't have all these hang-ups and prejudices and misconceptions about how women's brains 'work differently' or what the biological differences might be or all that pseudo-scientific bull-crap. They just do the work.
How does Elm handle browser differences? For example, window.clipboardData.setData is only defined in IE, so what happens if I call it unconditionally from Elm, and am using Firefox?
Dick Costolo talked about it on their most recent call;

We suck at dealing with abuse and trolls on the platform
and we've sucked at it for years. It's no secret and the
rest of the world talks about it every day. We lose core
user after core user by not addressing simple trolling
issues that they face every day.

I'm frankly ashamed of how poorly we've dealt with this
issue during my tenure as CEO. It's absurd. There's no
excuse for it. I take full responsibility for not being
more aggressive on this front. It's nobody else's fault
but mine, and it's embarrassing.

We're going to start kicking these people off right and
left and making sure that when they issue their ridiculous
attacks, nobody hears them.

Everybody on the leadership team knows this is vital.

Whether or not they come up with a solution or prioritize it with their technical team remains to be seen, but I think it's a very good start that the CEO has claimed personal responsibility for the issue.

This isn't true - the core skill of controlling classes is pretty hard. It's not an intellectual skill, but a social intelligence one.
Had the same reaction and even pulled up the BuzzFeed home page, wondering if they had refactored their style. Nope! The main page is still full of crappy linkbait lists... but here's hoping they do more articles like this.
Yeah, that's definitely the alternative I'm advocating for.

I've seen many an ES6 blogger decide to use arrays in their examples. It's not quite so grievous in the context of a throwaway example, but for real world usage, it might be more costly to figure out a month or two down the road.
I'm not sure what US Codes or Officer status has to do with my assessment. A CEO is not entitled, by position, to any business profits. They are strictly reserved for stock-owners. Those points are irrelevant to mine.

I just took a look Watsi's Transparency Report. It's commendable that they seem to be going much further than many other organizations do in opening up their financial information. However, while I found lots of patient details, I was unable to find a breakout of salaries and other payments to employees, officers, or other, only an aggregate monthly salary line item of ~66k. If their about page is accurate and there are currently 6 employees, that's about $132k/year/person. Not Jamie Dimon salaries, but still more than double US median household earnings.

Edit: Also, I'm not ragging on Watsi. I'm not familiar with them other than what I just shared above. My beef is with the behavior in the anecdote (which may or may not be accurate to what actually happened at that NYC bar) that was shared, but more importantly with the culture that people seem to be trying to emulate.

In my case, I live in a city of 200,000 in the lower 48, and according to Tesla's website, the nearest open access charger is 347 miles away. Now I expect those numbers to go down, but currently, a Tesla would be a toy and not a viable means of transportation given my driving habits. I have no issue with alternative fuels such as electric or HFC, but it it is going to be a very long time before it is viable in low density parts of the country, at least for me.
Ha.. googling perl6 mop never led me to doc.perl6.org. Thanks a lot for the history!
Incremental backups or deduplicating storage (ZFS)?
That's a good illustration of why the requirement exists in the first place. You're not contradicting anything I said, are you?

FYI: The MIT license allows me to sublicense ProjectA's code, so technically it could fall under two licenses.
Perl 5 has a long history of metaprogramming (obviously not as long as Lisp). This became much easier with WRT objects when Class::MOP[1] was introduced. Perl 6 doubled down.

I'm confused by the juxtaposition of these two arguments:

> That's not really an externality, that's a market equilibrium. New York housing is very scarce, and you should beware of economic thinking that arbitrarily assigns scarce resources to certain people. Everyone has a right to a place to live, not everyone has a right to a place to live in the most in-demand parts of America.

and

> one thing that is clear is NYC hotels are too few and too expensive.

It's particularly baffling because there is much greater flexibility around choice with temporary lodging than permanent lodging on a wide number of axes (location, comfort, cleanliness, etc.).

As for your other argument:

> An externality would be something like if AirBnB guests were a major nuisance to other people and there was no market solution to this problem.

If my neighbors are renting out their apartment on AirBNB, and their guests are a continual nuisance, what is the "market solution" to my problem? If I complain to the guests or the tenants listing the unit, there's a good chance that they won't listen. The only other person I could complain to is the landlord, and if the landlord does decide to pull their lease, that's recourse that they're only able to take because the tenants are breaking the law[0] - a law that was put in place specifically because of this externality.

A "market solution" might be if AirBNB allowed neighbors to rate rentals on AirBNB, but that's a feature I would be very surprised if they ever added[2].

[0] The fact that they are breaking the terms of the lease does not inherently give the landlord the right to break the lease, but the fact that they are breaking the law may.

[1] The history of tenant rights is pretty well-studied and documented, and there's a reason that virtually every jurisdiction in the US places restrictions of some sort on temporary lodging.

[2] And frankly, I'm not sure it would do much good anyway, because the people reading those ratings would be the guests, the very people causing the issues in the first place.
If you save notebooks to Onedrive (default option in latest versions) you can install the Onedrive app and have it sync the documents folder to your machine all the time so you will have a copy on Onedrive, and your machine. Onedrive also backs up your data though you might have to go through Customer support to get to that.
Rich Data, Poor Data
The difference is that you only see you're bad at it when you're already a teacher, teaching a class. If you suck at programming, you see it in the introductory course of first semester of college.
I think that's a bit naive. In the micro, one new task economy startup might be a net gain, all other things being equal, but if it's part of a macro trend where skilled jobs are disappearing and being replaced with commodity task work, we might be sliding down a dangerous slope. Your final question sound kind of like the slightly more extreme argument that yacht factories enrich otherwise unemployed people. To me, that argument always rang hollow because how much wealth is really being transferred when demand for such things is fundamentally limited. I think ideally you want a broad base of jobs that can actually provide people with a middle class livelihood.
> I have replaced bash with fish

No, you're using both of them. If you are using scripts which themselves use bash, then you're using bash, albeit indirectly. You may not be using it in interactive mode, but you're still using it nonetheless. If you had replaced bash with fish, then you would not need bash on your computer at all.

Replace (in the context of Unix-like software) means completely replace, as in: no longer needing the original for any purpose.
I think it might have to do with the careers that are attached to each major.
I've been writing most of my Javascript in ES6 recently and I agree that it's simply fantastic and still has a lot of potential to be explored when it comes to creating modern apps and frameworks. My main problem is that we're going to be stuck using transpilers for quite a while as by the time all of the browsers finally[1] catch up to ES6, ES7 will be released. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about slow vendors.

I am the maintainer of a man page that turns into a 260+ page PDF document in letter size.

I haven't hacked on groff, but I recently I did a whole bunch of work on the man2html program from the man tools. That code is extremely hacky, like you wouldn't believe!

http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/man/

I have it so that a man page can detect whether it's being compiled by groff or by man2html and re-target some of its macros.

That aforementioned large man page is here; the macros are upfront: http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/txr/tree/txr.1

(The index and hyperlinks in the HTML are due to a post-processing pass, implemented in the "genman.txr" script.)
If you’re in a decent tech hotbed, start by interacting with the local community. Talk to other developers, agency owners, startup founders and see if you can offer them help. It’s a different dynamic than trying to find a consulting gig online and anecdotally I find it far easier to coney the value I bring to people than through a Skype call, thus being able to increase my rate.
I would wager that the note belongs to a local (unsynched) notebook, which is why it wasn't on Evernote's servers. I apologize if this explanation is a bit long, buckle in.

Specifically I suspect the note belongs to a "Conflicting Changes" notebook, which gets automatically created a note you are trying to upsync conflicts with a copy already on the server. There might be other sync errors that trigger this as well.

If you look at the screenshot of the Mac app, the note belongs to a notebook that starts with "Con..." rather than something like "cherian's notebook" as seen in the screenshot from the Web app.

Users who run into this get a sync error and a modal dialog explaining that their copy of the note is placed into a local notebook titled, "Conflicting Changes [Date/timestamp]" There should be another copy of the note on the Evernote servers. It is possible that when Cherian saw this, he deleted the copy of the note on the Evernote servers and kept the local copy, which would be the opposite of what he'd want to do. (Total guess)

I would guess that this happened very early on and Cherian has been adding & editing this note locally in that local notebook, but not realizing it. The dialog can be a little confusing, and many of us just click away modal dialogs without thinking about it too much.

If you primarily ever work out of All Notes, you may not pay much attention to which notebooks your notes are in. Especially if you only edit that one note on the desktop. If you worked between desktop and mobile and/or web it would be easy to immediately notice that note missing entirely.

It is possible that there wasn't anything wrong with the note as the customer support agent said, but rather the note was just in a local notebook. Copy/pasting it into a new note would solve it in either case.

Local Notebooks exist only for the desktop clients. You can create one to put in notes you don't want sync'd up to the Evernote service. They're also a place to store notes if you're out of this month's quota.

Are you saying that it's scurrilous for the guy to fail to disclose accepting more than $1.2 million in money from the fossil-fuel industry over the last decade while failing to disclose that in his papers on climate change (violating the ethical guidelines of the journals that published his work), or that it's scurrilous for the conflict of interest to be pointed out? The guy flat out described the papers he produced for industry as "deliverables" that he produced in exchange for payment.
I think I have an explanation in a separate comment, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9091737
Agreed. I think his arguments are very sound and rational.
In advance, sorry for the long-winded response. My answer: once you have enough money to allow you freedom in life (different definition for everyone), you're set and do not need a penny more - with the exception of funds for charitable purposes.

I earned a business degree from a top program. I don't mention this to boast, but rather because this was an unknowing introduction to the greed hammered into young college students' lives before their minds have fully matured (not to mention the media and literally everywhere else you look/hear). I entered the real world with a limitless need for more - see George Carlin's view on "stuff". It just becomes habit.

Fast-forward to the market crash - suddenly, unemployed, broke after failed idealistic business attempt, and negative net worth (food stamps suck). Did I mention I bought a condo at the exact peak of the market with almost $0 down? My area of specialization was financial planning/wealth management and I found myself bankrupt. Don't get me started on the masses who aren't even fortunate enough to receive a single lesson in personal finance.

Fast forward to last year, when I semi-retired. I'm still pinching myself. I went through a bleak period in 2009/2010 when I couldn't find work, was broke, and experienced that all-too-typical loop of becoming less and less hirable. I finally found a commission-only job as a technology recruiter - that's right, your favorite professional is posting on HN (let's try and keep it civil, we're not all the same!). The combination of being broke, hungry, and finally understanding the value of a dollar & folly of my ways was the perfect formula. I worked my tail off and saved $ like a madman, which brings me to this incredible point today.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm quite new here :)

Perl was a victim of its own success.

Perl is one of the few languages associated with the web that was really pre-web. It's because of Perl's inspiration that we have PHP and Python. So while the language evolved, it was never web centric at heart.

Another great thing about Perl was in the early days of the web it appealed to both real coders and script kiddies. But as time went on the script kiddies tended to move on to languages like PHP, so only the pros are really left.

The last issue with Perl was that it was never a favorite of computer science programs, so it was always a bit of a hackers language at heart. So there is a wonderful community around Perl, but it makes it very hard if you run a shop to find kids out of school who know the language vs. Java back in the day (and other languages today).

But I know a few coders who still really love Perl in hearts, so while the popularity hasn't grown I would say the language does have a very hard core dedicated following.
> YC is still stuck in a world of ideas based on controlling others through the creation of debt and claiming lifetime ownership of others' work.

I don't understand this sentiment AT ALL. There is no debt involved, so I don't see any control exerted through those means. And sure, they buy non-controlling ownership of others' work, but that ownership is sold freely. Not to mention the other consideration that lands on the selling side in these transactions. I don't think the sellers are making out nearly as badly as you seem to be implying.

Keep in mind, groff can itself generate HTML. I think it may need some pre- and post-processing to do it, though too, because (I think) what are links in the HTML version end up being footnotes in the pdf/ps version. Could be wrong about that, though.
