He didn't say that the waiting staff is 1% of the cost. He said that being waited on is only ~1% of the value the customer is receiving, since the waiting experience is much less important to the consumer than the food quality, conveni

Especially if this is the base price. I'm prepared to be massively disappointed when 40k is the cost of the smallest battery model and the largest is 50-60k. I don't care about most optional car upgrades but vehicle range is so im

It hit the front page on reddit and now it's naturally flowing down into the HN karma grab. I personally didn't know it was planned for this early until now.

Makes perfect sense to me if you don't trust your host not to report you. Keys are small enough to just send in a private chat rather than hosted alongside the encrypted file.

This is really similar to a thread that made the top of HN a couple months ago about the guy who was having problems with CoinBase (and couldn't get any support) which was never deleted [1]. It was successful in causing enough of a rio

This is a great article and seems to be really similar to a problem I had/have at work (not using meteor though, and we use a relational DB). We have a system where clients can set up arbitrary queries about data for a project manageme

The good solution is in Android's hands and is to allow on demand permission requests after the app is installed.

I was really hoping this was going to address the seeking problem. It seems like whenever I want to seek, even backwards to already buffered content, there's a 50/50 chance the video player will stop working entirely and force me

Blog posts like this make me feel concerned that I'm becoming a generalist right now and I'm not sure I can avoid it. I'm on a really small team doing development of both front end (Javascript/HTML/CSS) and backend

The reason for your parent comment (and my initial misunderstanding) was because this post title was submitted as "HTTP 2.0 to be HTTPS only". By the time I refreshed the title was changed, but this is why we need to stop modifyin

By your "hole in one" argument, Tesla is "doubtful" to keep up their pace of one fire per 100 million miles. In other words, their "true" fire rate is actually less than one per 100 million.

I think the "Touch ID" fingerprint matching that was just revealed is way more interesting than their performance improvements. I wonder why they chose to order the announcements like that.

That clearly makes sense economically, and I know this already exists (car insurance, for example), but I don't think many people would agree with this on a social level. A security camera with great AI might only follow the black peop

So are you saying that if being black is correlated with a lower rate of loan payback, that is a fair indicator for raising their interest rate? It's not clear to me where you think the line should be drawn, if at all, given a strong c

It does not apply to the first question, but how does the ORM handle joined columns from other tables? Is it embedded somewhere in the returned object? The best way I could think to handle this using an ORM would be for the object to contai
