Uber has essentially become too-big-to-fail startup for all the involved investors, so at this point it's game of how you can get it into a stable state where the involved investors can withdraw without making the whole cardhouse fall down.

Haha, what a great video.

To some extent he's onto something. Sometimes you are in this zone when everything will work if you just do this one quick little hack, and then the hack ends up not getting replaced with a proper solution, and in the end you end up with a harddrive right next to a speaker >.<

EDIT: Completely agree with your comment, and I've had similar anecdotal experiences.

1st rule of Big Data Club

Decide what knowledge you want to get — Then explore how you can generate information that can support this give you this knowledge, and finally you can begin to exploit the data you have at your disposal to generate this information.

The trick is not to generate lots of data, but to know how to extract information from it. Big Data™ Tools can assist in exploiting the data you have, to generate new more meaningful data, but that doesn't make it information, it's just more data.

Note that I distinguish between knowledge, information, and data.

Yes, and it's bad enough that pic as shorthand sounds identical.

But I'll look forward to hearing about people sending a dick pic in pik format. ^_^

Read what you wrote one more time, and imagine some manager working in a bank, or a 17 year old business student.

It's hard enough to convince people not to use the same e-mail and password combo, and instead use something like 1password or last pass, making them use your proposed "solution" would be a massive step back.

> What ever failings Mark has a CEO he has one amazing strength which is a single minded focus to let no competitor to Facebook rise.

In the world of business, this is well illustrated by the market dominance of SAP. They have, and will buy out, or compete out startups that encroach on their market. This is why they are still the top pick for the biggest companies in the world.

Successfactor comes to mind as an example.

Unfortunately this is no longer possible :(

Facebook has removed the ability to make such narrow target groups.

Recently I approached a software project with the idea that I'd like to employ a fuzzer later when possible. What I found particularly interesting is that as soon as I had this idea in my head, my mind would constantly think of the code in a defensive "I-need-to-account-for-any-input" way.

Not just thinking about making the code work in the desired way, but also that any other input is walled of.

I think fuzzers are something that should get more attention, because it doesn't just help find critical bugs, it also changes your mind-set to defensive programming.

A lot of these are brilliantly displayed with varying degrees of integration and success on airline pages. [1],[2]

This is why most of the european countries would love to host the olympics, but in a model where it's split over multiple countries. Because hosting it by yourself is purely a prestige project that politicians try to put on their CV.

It's what makes HN so great.

Even the original Dropbox "Show HN" pitch was agressively cynical about it; "I can do the same thing with a linux box and some scripts...", etc.

or SQL for that matter. Same same, but different.

In Denmark, the company Gomore.dk is very popular. Mostly known for private ride-sharing, but they also offer private car rental.

This is probably 100% about blocking Spotify, and other media companies, directly competing with Apple.

But if they were more specific, it would probably smell like anti-compete lawsuit.

The commercial SMS market is full of companies that are rivals but also customers.

This is happening because the actual network operators often require their customers to provide a volume of X SMS's per month, and they have to pay upfront. They are then selling their capacity downstream in a long distribution chain, finally ending up with regular businesses that wants to add SMS capability.

Regulation changes is the only thing that stirs the market tbh.

About Engiy

Engiy is a BT search engine, in order to solve the Bittorrent protocol itself does not implement resource search function.

Currently Engiy total index to around 200 million magnetic link (duplicates removed), and 200,000 day rate. Just from the data, said, Engiy should index is the most comprehensive resource fastest Bittorrent search engine.

Engiy obtained through DHT network resource information to the user is downloading, including file name, size, etc., specifically, to achieve a Bittorrent in bep_0003 , bep_0005 , bep_0009 , bep_0010 four agreements.

Because of this, according to the Bittorrent protocol Engiy only get information to info torrent file, so Engiy on the server does not save any torrent file, at the same time, the tracker does not provide any service, generally speaking, so that means Engiy at large most countries can legally operate.

Meanwhile Engiy not provide any services in addition to BT resources search outside. Such as video online play (you can use as Baidu network disk ). Engiy search results are usually just a magnetic link, which will help the Internet to share resources for download, you also need to install additional software to download (such as uTorrent , BitComet , Thunder , etc.).

Engiy front end uses on Bootstrap , so pages are responsive, you can use any equipment, such as computers, mobile phones, pad, etc. use it.

Sensitive content

If Engiy index to content infringe your right to justice, or you have the copyright, please contact us , after verifying the information, we will remove it.

If you search for related promotional terrorism, child abuse, bestiality, etc.-humanity, anti-ethical, when anti-moral resources, you have an obligation to promptly us feedback.

Engiy originally developed by Node.js developed, but after running for some time to find, memory, and CPU usage are beyond the control that VPS operators will automatically kill the crawling process. To know Engiy is only running at a minimum of $ 10 per month with a lower VPS. Later, with the Go has been significantly improved after the re-implementation of memory and CPU usage, currently running in good condition.

Engiy will open it? Yes.

Open source Node.js DHT reptile hosted on Github. Related technical details can be seen here , if in doubt you can give me a message on Github.

I'd imagine a proper "Uber for food" company would instead offer a service where people who maybe like to cook, offer to deliver sell some of their home-cooked meals. Sort of like a restaurant.

PS. If anyone makes this a business, please just credit me for the idea :)

However, that rehosting is usually not to steal traffic, but because most of the webpages that host the original, would experience what is called the hug of death, when thousands of viewers suddenly flock to their website. So linking to the original content, is best done as a addendum to the rehosted content, to still allow for viewers to check out the original creator.

I'm fairly certain you don't need to use chip, but you do need to use the PIN.

That ought to make our noses smaller by the same logic.

How do you then explain Denmark, which has had their currency locked to the Euro (and before that; DM)?

It's solved in a much nicer way in modern vehicles. Where they detect # of line crossings (dozing makes you more prone to cross the lines on the road), and how often and for how long your eyes are shut when blinking. Together they indicate tiredness, and can recommend that you take a break.

Atleast that's how I remember it working on Mercedes cars

The participants will add $100M yearly from 2020.

That doesn't seem insignificant, and I think part of the thing about the deal is that it puts a public focus on green development -- WORLDWIDE.

And sometimes that's the difference between making a buck, and making a business.

The paragraph about Christiania is bullshit.

It is not legal to smoke or sell cannabis there, and the police have done several raids over the years. Most people don't even consider it a country, but more like a borough for the hippies. Copenhagen is mainly social democrat, with some areas even more left wing, and clearing out Christiania would be a very unpopular idea, because a large majority of their voters support Christiania.

Most likely this is because someone on the dating profile saw the persons profile, thought it was interesting enough to 'dox' the person.

If people knew how little information is needed to get started they would be either terrified or amazed.

First name + Location + Instagram profile and you are already off to a good start. And maybe there's a picture from some marathon you participated in, and they might have an online list of participants, narrow down to matching first names, then look them up on facebook.

What facebook then sees mimics person A trying to find his new friend person B, which makes it natural to include this person on the other "do you know list"

The fact that this is not specific to a certain type of cancer is quite amazing.

This paragraph captures it pretty well:

"In collaboration, the two university research groups have tested thousands of samples from brain tumors to leukemias and a general picture emerges to indicate that the malaria protein is able attack more than 90% of all types of tumors. The drug has been tested on mice that were implanted with three types of human tumours. With non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the treated mice’s tumours were about a quarter the size of the tumours in the control group. With prostate cancer, the tumours disappeared in two of the six treated mice a month after receiving the first dose. With metastatic bone cancer, five out of six of the treated mice were alive after almost eight weeks, compared to none of the mice in a control group."

The first link you provided seems related, in the sense that the OP link is what was sought after in the linked submission.

Honestly, this is getting a bit tiresome.

The world has displayed a lack of interest in privacy with regards to digital systems. Therefore Microsoft has chosen to enable features required for making the computer more personalized by default, but still allow users to opt-out.

Most other vendors don't even give this oppertunity when installing, but can only be done later via some deep-down config change.

If you are paranoid about your data privacy, please just use one of the many privacy focused OS's. In the end you will always be forced to trust something, or you might as well go off the grid in a third world country. Because thats really the only place complete privacy is realistic.

If those figures (93Gb/s) are right and represents a real-world scenario, and not a lab test, then it's really impressive.

The following quote from the article highlights the difference between HORNET and Tor:

"Unlike onion routing protocols that use global re-routing through overlay networks (e.g., Tor [23] and I2P [47]), HORNET uses short paths created by the underlying network architecture to reduce la- tency, and is therefore bound by the network’s physical intercon- nection and ISP relationships. This is an unavoidable constraint for onion routing protocols built into the network layer [29, 42]."
