Fair point. That's why we make our business model extremely clear. We're out there to help users claim the money they're owed and keep 25% in the process. We're not out there to sell user data.

Also, you can set up a secondary account and auto-forward emails relatively quickly to a forwarding address linked to Paribus. On Gmail:

1- Go to filters and start creating a new filter: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/filters
2- In the from field, type: amazon.com OR bestbuy.com OR staples.com OR macys.com etc. with all the retailers for which you want to track receipts
3- Click "create a filter with this search"
4- Click "Forward it to" and add your forwarding address.

You should be all set after that (although you will have to change your filter if you want to add the new retailers as we add more)

Hope this helps. We'll add to the FAQ :)
I'm not actually too much of a brand loyalist when it comes to hotels--in spite of having something over 100 days on the road last year. My itineraries are too varied for one or two chains to really work for me most of the time. Furthermore, prices tend to vary a lot with hotels on any given day so I tend to shop around a bit. So I have frequent stay programs and accumulate meaningful points on a couple of them but don't go crazy.

>booking isn't instantaneous as with a hotel (wait hours or days for confirmation from owner), checkin has to be pre-arranged and requires you get in touch with the owner (i.e. no 3am red-eye check-ins),

As for these points though, I agree that I mostly don't want to deal with this sort of thing when I'm traveling on business. I want a 24 hour desk that I can just roll up to a 2 in the morning if need be and I need to be able to cancel on short notice. On vacation, I'm often willing to deal with something more interesting/less cookie cutter but for business I mostly want "just works."
I think Radon (https://github.com/rubik/radon/) is a good example of clean code. It's quite a small project, but it also gets right all the setup chore (like setup.py, testing, coverage, travis integration, etc.) which a beginner may find interesting.

Also, I second all the suggestions about Kenneth Reitz code, it's wonderful!
Despite his verbal ineptitude, at six-foot-two Eric is one of the more desirable seniors, and many sophomores would, I suppose, have been flattered by the attention... [I asked] "What you're saying is tantamount to saying that you want to fuck me. So why shouldn't I react with revulsion precisely as though you'd said the latter?"

If she found him attractive, why would she react with revulsion at the suggestion of sex. The problem is not with rationality, but rather with her half hearted commitment to it. If you are going to think critically about the true meaning of asking someone on a date, then you should also think critically about the true reasons why asking for sex directly is considered rude.
These Groundbreaking Changes in Web Dev Should Matter to You
I tried translating a couple of paragraphs and found that the article was mostly too abstract and specific to make it practical.

I thought one of the most impressive complete translations is the entire script of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (completed by jan Pije back in 2004). You can read it line-by-line with the English and toki pona texts alternating. I've read most of it and thought the quality of the translation was uniformly excellent.

> But to play devil's advocate: is there a percentage of business travelers that would prefer an AirBnB experience over the lure of elite status and hotel points?

Looking at the photos of the "business-ready homes" on https://www.airbnb.com/business/signup, I can assure you that there is nothing that would make me prefer the "AirBnB experience" over, say, a stay at the Mandarin Oriental or St. Regis. Hotels generally might get a bad wrap, but the quality of the accommodations and conveniences offered at the higher end of the market are very hard to compete with, elite status and hotel points not even taken into consideration.
>I've always been confused about the perceived "embarrassment"

Imagine you've asked someone out on a date and you offer to pick up or even split the check but your card gets declined. I think most people would find this at least moderately embarrassing especially if they don't have a backup payment ready.

OP Here.

I chose not to change the title from the original article/URL.

The point that the writer is making is that with this new capability, you can buy a car that is faster to 60 mph than virtually all commercially available ICE cars. He felt this is significant because it is one of the last remaining reasons a buyer may have for purchasing an ICE over an electric car.

In order to buy a faster (in a straight line) car, you'd have to spend more than US$1,000,000.

Therefore, the writer speculates that ICE engines will be out of production entirely in 20 years.

There is no mention of this facet of the story in the original TechCrunch article, so I felt it was sufficiently interesting to post.
This looks fascinating.

i) do you have plans to gather data? Correct research would be tricky, but have you considered collaborations with researchers / statisticians? It'd be fascinating to see some robust numbers after a year

ii) in England a considerable amount of 999 calls are either alcohol or mental health related. You've limited the "custer base" to schools and care homes and etc, but how will you handle such calls? For example: you get a call for someone who has engaged in severe (requiring surgery and hospital admission) self harm but who has no suicidal intent. Do you have procedures for that kind of call?

Thanks for patiently answering questions! HN is sometimes somewhat hostile. :-/

The reasons are much simpler, albeit speculative. Paypal can be sold without impact ebay, or vice versus. Or avoid potential anti-trust, such as Microsoft in 90s. It's obvious ebay/paypal have huge monopoly business advantage than separated.

A bonus benefit, without ebay auction obligation, paypal may innovate more rapidly in the financial business.

It completely depends on where you go in my experience. I took a trip to Taiwan and the airbnb places were way better/cheaper than the hotels we stayed at. Also why are you talking about Craigslist? This is airbnb...
I like to use r-dom to get around JSX. I feel like, with JSX, I tend to copy-paste code or not refactor something into it's own method. With r-dom, it forces you to realize you're writing Javascript (not HTML) and try to write DRY code.

Interesting article. On overconfidence. A number of years ago, I took a graduate managerial science course. I recall an exercise: 10 questions (i.e, the moon's diameter) were asked with an numerical answer. One has to provide a range (high, low) that guarantees one is 90% correct without being overly wide in one's estimate. I think the goal was to get 6 questions correct. The class abysmally failed: answers way too narrow. The class really over-estimated their knowledge. There was more questions like this, all to demonstrate various fallacies in decision making.

That said, I recall reading a chapter in the "Black Swan" on balancing overconfidence and underconfidence.

Reading some of the comments reminded me of a quote from Bill Parcells: "Confidence is born out of demonstrated ability."

They are very useful in log structured merge tree (LSM) based storage. HBase uses them, for example. The idea is to have a bloom filter as part of each on-disk component, so that one can look at the bloom filter first- and then only bother with searching the actual component, if there is a match in the filter. That way you can reduce the pain of having to potentially search multiple indices on disk.

>I was surprised by the number of test pads exposed on the Coin - all those small metallic squares are programing points / test points. This suggests to me that Coin is still going though some debugging since it’s rare to see so many pads still exposed on a shipping product.

Perhaps their tester just couldn't probe the smaller pads/components. In general, any shipping product these days is going to have a significant number of test points, it is just that they are often not explicit.

But there isn't a word for cyan and magenta, hence the need to define cyan in terms of RYB.

cyan = blue + green

green = blue + yellow

cyan = blue + (blue + yellow)

Well, technically:

2 parts cyan = 1 part blue + 1 part green

2 parts green = 1 part blue + 1 part yellow

2 parts cyan = 1 part blue + 1 part (1 part blue + 1 part yellow)

i.e.

2 parts cyan = 1 part blue + 1/2 part blue + 1/2 part yellow

i.e.

4 parts cyan = 3 parts blue + 1 part yellow

But I think the real lesson here is that colour names based on additive colour mixing are silly.
First, you're putting words in my mouth. All I did was point out that you're just spouting opinions as given facts.

Secondly, still, you continue to make value judgments based on your own personal ethics and assume they're universal truths. Whether there is harm (as you say) truly is debatable. Ending a marriage is breaking your contract, doing something your spouse doesn't like is "harmful". Which ones are ok? Maybe this cheating for many people ends up being a one time thing that the person needed to do to either realize they want to end the marriage or realize they want to change something. Or some other outcome. Regardless, it isn't your or anyone else's job to decide, so please keep your moralizing to yourself.

> Fairly certain all cards dont have fees.

While I don't deny the possibility that you're right, if you're not involved in the community I'd consider it far more likely that people have already found the most effective manufactured spend techniques.

As an example, CC charge -> Amex GC w/ cashback from rewards site -> Visa GC w/ PIN -> ATM or money order to withdraw is a fairly "simple" MS chain. The convolutions that people have discovered past that get pretty byzantine. But even <1% adds up when you're churning 5 figures.

The lengths of some of the schemes are entertaining in their own right.
Why does 2+ 40 equal 42?
Fear of war could have been another motivator, I suppose. But I suspect that Iran is well aware of how unpopular such a war is likely to be in the U.S. So, yeah, I agree that it's probably the sanctions more than anything else.
Yes there's Fremont, Hayward, Oakland, South SF, Daly City, and even more as well. Renting a room instead of an apartment helps a lot. It's $600-800 with utilities.
I've spent the past few weeks going through the nervous breakdown you describe in your first paragraph.

A few years worth of stress (life/startup/etc.) managed to explode in a single night thanks to a rather traumatic experience with alcohol and hallucinogenic drugs, and in the weeks that have followed I've come to realize my anxieties come from this extreme fear of death/impermanence.

I'm still taking things day by day, and the panic attacks are passing more easily every day. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience. Reading little things like this from other people has helped me more than I can express :)

Show HN: iOS ClojureScript REPL
I would classify Facebook and Google as advertisers themselves, but that's semantics, I guess. Point taken.

There are effectively two classes of internet citizens: those who block ads, and those who do not. Users like myself free ride off the eyeballs of this second class.

Imagine if ad-blockers were included in internet browsers by default. It would cripple the economics of the internet. (Is this the explicit reason for Chrome? Because it look like a great defensive maneuver.)
My employer always paid for everything then I would hand them my loyalty card at the desk and get the points attributed to me. The rooms and cars were always in my name so maybe that was the difference.

Grooveshark was my absolute favourite website for close to a half a decade, I can't even count the hours I spent listening to it.
I not infrequently stay at the suite places mostly for the sofa. I do wish more hotels would have a small fridge for guest use though; don't need the full-size one. Especially given that those who still have minibars are now often using these RFID-enabled things that will automatically charge you if you look at them crooked.
Maybe a way to start by simply forwarding emails you want the system to process to a special email address. Kinda like how TripIt works -- I'm not even sure they ask for access to your email box until you've used the service by manually forwarding confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com for a bit.
I can see where you're coming from, it's just not really feasible with private networks, due to liability or security issues and plain old NIMBY.

So maybe the idea here should be to instead implement some sort of nationalized/globalized public network; however this also has it's own set of issues (public funding being overshadowed by the existing need/demand for private networks, again liability issues (although with an identifying authentication scheme this is less of a problem)).

Replete is a free and open source (https://github.com/mfikes/replete) ClojureScript REPL, and it was just now made available the App Store.

It is based on a relatively recent ability for ClojureScript to “bootstrap” or “self-host,” and thus is the first time it is possible to evaluate ClojureScript forms directly on a device without resorting to a back-end compiler service. (No network access is needed.)

This is just the first release with a minimal feature set. We would greatly appreciate any feedback for future improvements!

Honestly, I'd argue you are better off rotating through credit cards every 3 months for the sign up bonuses. 4 cards a year is few enough not to draw any real scrutiny, at least so far for me.

I'm not sure how you'd get 25,000-50,000 points every 3 months unless your lifestyle is pretty expensive compared to mine.

For example:

https://creditcards.chase.com/credit-cards/sapphire-preferre... -> http://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/venture/ -> https://creditcards.chase.com/6000356?CELL=6WKP -> https://creditcards.chase.com/credit-cards/southwest-premier...

180,000 points for $198 [the last one is a business card but this is HN so I suspect a bunch of people have ways of getting one of those]

iirc, 180k points is ~$1800

Just realize this tears up your credit score so don't go getting large 5-6 figure loans for cars/houses while doing this.
Hm. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that children would not want to be told stories, without advertising?

I mean, I agree people need to be aware of a good or service to buy it (and that includes food, sex, and temperature regulation -- not sure why you've got a special case for them). But I think there's a distinction between making that information available for people seeking things out (like, having a stall at a market that carries your product) and bombarding people with messages about it at all hours of the day.
I've seen that Star Trek episode as well.
Not to split hairs, but they're technically owned by the hotel. You participate in the program at their pleasure. See the Northwest Airlines Supreme Court case.

To the spirit of your question, almost always the employee.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

I agree, the ideal world and the real world are two very different things. Though still, given the length of your average RN course (or even LPN, since as we're talking real world, many nursing facilities are supervised by one RN over many LPNs) versus EMT... certainly it "should" be better. You do make a very good point about the nature of chronic versus acute patients.

2. Thurston (http://www.co.thurston.wa.us/medic1/stats.htm) - I'm not entirely sure about the measurement of response time, would have to clarify with a dispatchers.

3. Thank you for calling out this. Agreed, ASA is very significant, and should not be discounted. I meant that emergently it's not going to improve patient condition, but I should have acknowledged that's only one part of the treatment plan. NTG, too, at least here, is typically administered or assisted by BLS with numerous contra-indications (brady/tachycardia, hypotension, etc), but most patients I have seen are instructed by their physician to self-administer with symptoms "similar to previous cardiac event". I'm presuming right ventricular infarction on your example patient?

As said elsewhere, I would like to see a service like this succeed, and apologize if I come off 'skeptical' in some of my comments!
Looking at social media, it seems like lots more people know how to screenshot than directly download an image, leading to screenshots of images being shared. Strange phenomenon.
