Isn't Airbnb the "Airbnb for hotels?"

I would like to see any large scale products or startups that are using dart. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Basically you just have a pointer: p1 -> [Object 1] And someone holds access to p1 even after you free p1, so now: p1 -> [Junk] The security flaw is when that memory is reclaimed for some use, so now: p1 -> [Object 2] And the malicious holder has free access to the properties of the new object.

I did the exact same thing. I didn't even realize it was unrelated until I read this comment, I just figured something was going over my head.

This will be even scarier when there are no alternatives left, and the only options will be physical objects that abuse personal data.

I think it will take true pioneers in other fields to extend the open source movement beyond software. With rapid prototyping and manufacturing techniques exploding, how much longer until I can submit a pull request for an open source car?

Articles like this just go to show how little acceptance there still is for behavioral economics data in mainstream policy making.

Just a few years ago data from lab experiments was not widely accepted because people were unsure if it was relevant to how people act in the real world. Countless times the effectiveness of lab experiments has been proven.

I am looking forward to the day when people finally accept that traditional economic models are not perfect (duh!) and that people are not perfect, rational, decision making robots.

Very metro

First off, open source work "on the side" is direct tech experience. It just so happens that you donated your work rather than being paid for it.

Second you should seriously consider the cost of living, and use something like this http://money.cnn.com/calculator/pf/cost-of-living/ as a ballpark.

Third you should be candid with them, and don't offer a salary requirement unless they directly ask. Instead let them make a first offer. Generally if you offer too high they will simply offer what they had planned to see if you take it, and if you offer too low they will accept and save the extra expense of what they were really willing to pay.

Best of luck to you!

I'm curious about your choice to use fanout.io. It looks like they are similar to firebase, but less feature rich?

1) Your interpretation is correct, when costs are not accounted for in the price someone (either an individual or society as a whole) gets the short end of the stick.

2) It 100% depends on the good. When you consider species of fish that were driven to extinction by overfishing, there was a significant societal cost that was paid since we completely eliminated that species.

3) Same as point two, the costs and impacts are inseparably linked, since a perfect system would perfectly build in the "cost" of the "impact."

Is this what you are asking?

There have been studies conducted (between lab, natural experiments, and naturally occurring data) that indicate performance in lab experiments closely mirrors how people act in real life.

To start off, the definition of capitalism is simply private ownership of goods, and the ability to trade those goods. A society in which even ONE good was tradable would be considered somewhat capitalistic.

Specifically you could refute the efficiency of a free market reaching an equilibrium price (one that maximizes total surplus for buyers and sellers). However the experimental data suggests precisely the opposite, even in monopoly markets (double auction, perfect information) when tested in laboratory experiments.

Many issues people think they have with capitalism are actually the result of a system that definitely does NOT inherently take in to account all hidden costs. This is often used by government officials to make policy decisions that add costs or incentives to a market to correctly account for all factors (environmental, public good preservation, etc.).

Hope this is helpful!

That's an excellent way to put it in perspective, I completely agree.

Please. Please. For the love of god please. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_secure_offline_sa...

I think a lot of software startups do extremely similar things with customer privacy. In fact there are probably places where the security flaws are worse than anything Soylent is doing.

That is not to excuse it, more to shed light on the fact that it is much more apparent when they are failing in the food industry.

Perhaps I should clarify, I would hate to see this hurt the entire industry. If Soylent does not do a complete rethinking after what has happened I expect someone else to take their place.

It's unfortunate for Soylent to end up in such a situation given how easily it could have been prevented.

For me however it does not discount the product in the least, and I would expect a rethinking of the production process to be posted soon in response.

After my behavioral economics lecture this morning this is where my mind immediately went: http://ase.tufts.edu/econ/papers/separability.pdf

As much as people would like this to refute capitalism and standard economic models, it really just confirms that the models are incomplete and can be updated with continuing research in to human behavior.

Firstly, I really love github explore. Having said that I still have yet to feel the need for one of these services that blindsides me with content just because I forgot I need it.

I understand that it drives more traffic to the site, but is it really worth saving the time of typing https://github.com/explore?

- Nice job.

Heres something related that I found http://users.tpg.com.au/users/horsts/transpermia.html

I had a software internship after my freshman year of college that lead in to working remotely while at school for the next 9 months.

I learned as much from that as I have from any internship, and it allowed me to optimize my time. I would go whole weeks without working, and then spend an entire weekend moving my project forward.

I completely agree that our generation will change the way we think about the structure of our "work week."

Sad to see no mention of clippy :(.

Crazy that there is a whole market for optimizing Facebook's edge rank calculations (http://edgerankchecker.com).

Could this be the new SEO?

These are wonderful. My personal favorite is the video hub to train farmers about local agricultural practices.

I look forward to seeing the kinds of non-profit startups that will come out of YC in the years to come.

This is truly excellent. A lot of articles and 'tutorials' about this topic are little more than a melting pot of buzzwords.

The best way to explain test driven development is through examples, and I think this tutorial does it wonderfully.

I will be sharing this generously.

I would be interested to see exactly where this script came from.

It seems approximately correct just based on the posts I generally see in my newsfeed, but is this just someone's guess as to how Facebook could be doing things?

I only realized this truth within the past couple of months. It has absolutely transformed the way I communicate not only with groups of people but also with individuals. I think framing advice in stories based on personal experience causes people to be much more receptive once you provide a call to action.

I would love to see more companies opening up technical research documents (regardless of how formal they are).

As academia becomes more stagnated it makes sense for companies to open up and spread knowledge to drive their particular ecosystem forward.

Not to mention it's probably an excellent recruiting tool.

I'm curious about your experience developing MMOs. Would you mind emailing me[at]lukewal[dot]sh? I am a student right now and interested in hearing from someone who knows the full landscape.
