You're right when it comes to publishers, but this article most resonated to me about why I stopped sharing on facebook, which does not involve money. I found that getting few or zero likes on a post was a negative signal and it really

I was heartened by how poorly "add hn to cart" would actually do on this site. Most of those articles are instantly killed by various filters. Maybe I should go back and have another read through the comments, but that was my take

Please just make your point, and make it substantial

That is a pretty good demonstration of a fluency in business speak.

Just echoing what someone else already wrote: Your english is great and you have a great attitude, and you are ambitious and still young. Do not worry that you are wasting your life. It seems like you are passionate about coding, so you are

I think that you're probably looking for a finite state machine. There are a number of libraries for this, so have a look around and pick one that looks good. I haven't used it myself but would love to hear about other people&#x27

For context: https://probmods.org "In this book, we explore the probabilistic approach to cognitive science, which models learning and reasoning as inference in complex probabilistic models. In particular, we examine how a

Let's compare two quotes from you: "They dispatched drivers to break the strike." "They created, maintain, and profit from the platform through which the scabs were sent to break a strike." These are two very differ

Is there a difference between dpi support for third party apps versus Microsoft apps? I wonder if apple simply has more control over the graphics stack than Microsoft does, or maybe has more leverage over its developers to add high dpi supp

So... a tech would just show up at your office, ready to fix the machine? On the one hand, that is some fantastic service when you're running mission critical software. On the other hand, that must cost a whole lot of money and is quit

ITS was an early operating system that could handle multiple users logged onto the same machine at the same time -- think of how multiple people can SSH into the same Linux machine. It came out of MIT's AI lab which is where a lot of e

Someone else in this thread pointed out that the headlines would be really bad for Uber if they said something like "Uber surges 500% while breaking airport taxi strike". It seems like they were trying to cover themselves, while n

Things were moving so fast at the time, I guess I had my doubts that Uber was even aware of the strike, but I suppose that may be naive and that the taxi association probably contacted Uber about this. I'm definitely coming around to t

by rashkov 10y ago
I'm not denying that, and I feel weird defending Uber at all, but then you'd also need to account for why they offered to compensate their drivers affected by this travel ban, and why would they lower their surge pricing. I'm

by rashkov 10y ago
edit: Re-reading this, and I realize I missed your point. You're absolutely right -- they did not say "we are cutting surge pricing in support of the protest". This was my original post for posterity: "They did say so. T

How much money can they make during a 1 hour strike? Lowering their prices seems like the opposite of making money to me
408.
by rashkov 10y ago
I think there's a pro-Uber case to be made here. Uber suspended surge pricing at a time when many people were trying to get to the protest at the airport, and while the airtrain was shut down which is what connects the subway system to

Have you found services with more favorable costs? I'd be curious to hear what they might be. Besides that, you might just consider replicating to a mini-computer of some sort in another location that you have permission to use like a

Wow, this is a complete gamechanger for how I use hn from now on. Thank you very much. Also I'm a bit surprised these features are not more exposed. Just how is one supposed to discover these lists?

I guessed, and was pleasantly surprised recently when I searched "flip a coin". Had to decide where to go to dinner and flipping a virtual coin did just fine

Looked into it some more. Mexican adults who are turned away at the border are not counted. Adults and children from other countries are put through removal proceedings, and that counts. Sometimes those proceedings take a few days to weeks,

okay then, I'll have another look at the sources. thanks

This "most deportations under any president" thing is a result of them starting to count instances of turning people away at the border as a "deportation".

Good points all around. I think that there are also non-technical people who remember when devices would last a very very long time. That is something tangible that consumers have lost to some extent.

I can definitely recommend the University of Washington's Coursera on Programming languages. It's available here, and starts every few weeks I think: https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages You&#

You're basically describing what some parts of Europe have, where the municipality owns a data center building in the middle of town, and runs a wire from that building to various buildings around town. The ISPs also have their equipme

That's pretty great, glad to hear it. I hope he can do more to force the telcos to live up to their broadband commitments in rural areas.

Thanks for relating that. I'm glad to hear that you found him worthy of respect. I may have a biased perspective of him because he has been in the opposition, and maybe he has not been covered fairly, but every time I have read a quote
