Did you make sure that your turbo button was pressed? Honestly, this is why I just stick to naturally aspirated CPUs.

PS Happy to answers any questions about Tokyo life as an engineer/entrepreneur, just reply to my comment.

I get where you're coming from, but you can make the same one-sided joke post about Americans.

Having done both...

- started YC backed startup while in SF and worked at Uber for 4 years - in Tokyo for the past 2 years

I honestly think that the outcomes here in Tokyo are much better than in SF. Yes, incomes are lower, but your QAPP (quality-adjusted purchasing power) is significantly higher, at all income levels - https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2017/08/21/commentary/j...

Uber lost some markets and won in others (e.g. LatAM, Australia). Also, it's not like Uber spent the money and got nothing for it - it's stake in DiDi is worth more than the amount of money Uber spent in China.

Of course you include them - the whole point of VC investing is that even if most of your companies exited at $0, the 1 10,000%+ return made up for it.

Just don't fly over highly populated areas?

Comments like this are part of the reason why people like Sam Altman stopped posting here. Can you just give the poster the benefit of the doubt that they just admire the efficiency of the Singaporean government, not that they're endorsing authoritarianism as long as it's effective?

I don't know the answer to this - you could be right, but just outright questioning that Google's search quality is no better than DDG or Bing and basing it off of a single data point is pretty foolhardy. Your second statement reinforces this point - I've run a lot of Google ads, and they're quite effective. Google ads are very effective at selling things to people.

In the future, when coming up with an opinion about something, I'd encourage you to look at statistics and combine that with your own personal experience. You'll often learn something you didn't know, and come up with a more grounded opinion.

Really really enjoyed reading a blog where the content of the article was the focus. I was not bombarded by popups asking to sign in with Google, sticky banners asking me to accept cookies, etc. Above the fold, there are absolutely zero links, and even the links that are in the article are presented in a very subtle way - they're there, but they don't draw attention to themselves. It would be great if more blog posts were like this.

Even? Minato-ku has the highest density of foreigners of all the wards, something like 20% of the population.

Let me surprise you then so you can stop making false speculations - you can use a GV number for Facebook 2FA.

This was news a few months, wonder why it's just now hitting HN.

FYI, many import tariffs on products like cheese and meats are not immediately effectively - they gradually phase out the tariffs over a period of something like 8-10 years, so cheese will continue to be expensive for quite a while.

OK - at this point, for traffic cases he only does DUIs. If that's your situation, reach out to him.

Not sure if it's civil or criminal, but if it's criminal, I'd recommend:

He hasn't personally represented me (thankfully the worst crime I've committed is speeding), but he's a close friend and a great defense attorney.

That's funny, because the URL slug (why-are-most-endurance-athletes-rich) for the article literally is that headline. I think the authors probably intentionally chose that headline because it's more clickbaity. Given the less clickbaity title is in the URL, mods, how about updating the headline to "Why Are Most Endurance Athletes Rich"?

He's actually been working on solving that exact problem: https://www.fastcompany.com/90243936/exclusive-tim-berners-l...

Other estimates in the thread (and Glassdoor) for annual TC are way off. L6 at G is a big range - 350-700k. Hard to say how much the guy made, because it depends on how much stock he kept vs. sold throughout the years, so I'll do a range. Let's assume he worked from 2010-2018:

Average TC: $450k - $850k

Post-tax: $270k - $470k

Annual expenses: $60k - $120k

Savings: $1.2m - $3.3m

Obviously this is a gross simplification, since it ignores other investments and makes pretty broad assumptions about their expenses, but it should give you the broad strokes.

Discussion from earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17971516

While user numbers have plateaued, I think the story is more nuanced. It seems like the demographics of FB have been changing rapidly - what it indicates to me that their ratio of acquisitions to churn is decreasing, with most of the new acquisitions coming from an older demographic. So, you're both right - young people are leaving/becoming inactive on FB, while being replaced by older people.

Here's a review of a similar, 17-hour flight that Qantas has started doing from Perth to London that goes into much more detail about the flight as opposed to the hand-wavy article:

https://thepointsguy.com/reviews/qantas-australia-london-ina...

The things like sleeping areas and workout areas seem like a stretch - probably upgrades similar to "Economy Plus", so most people will still be stuck with just the bare minimum, which will be similar to what's described in the above review.

Not quite. This article is about riders being able to rent cars for their own personal trips. There is a separate flow for partners to be able to rent a car from Getaround to drive for Uber [1], which has been around for about a year.

S18 batch applications are already open:

No - this only applies to Uber not operating in China. Didi can still compete with Uber in any other country.

This is the premise of a 90's sci-fi novel about VR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_of_Reflections). In the novel, a character discovers a graphical sequence that puts people into a hypnotic state in which they can be shown a low-res virtual environment which their brain then fleshes out.

For anyone interested in more info about this topic, my father and his friend run a fan site for the BESM-6 (including an emulator!), a Soviet-era mainframe computer:

Localytics does that pretty well. In their funnel view, you can see, for each step in the funnel, it shows a comparison of users who went on to the next step of the funnel vs. users who did not, and highlights a diff of their actions.

When you're doing well is often the best time to raise money, as you can get more favorable terms.

Oops! Too used to save-on-edit interfaces nowadays. Added it now, thanks for catching that :)

patio11 has a great blog post tangentially related to this:

ThirdLove - San Francisco, CA - http://www.thirdlove.com

Interested in working on an eCommerce backend written entirely in node.js? Or perhaps working on state of the art computer vision algorithms to figure out how to extract highly precise body dimensions from a mobile phone photograph? Or how about making our award-winning iOS app even more awesome? (we were Apple's Valentine's Day featured app). We're well-funded, and have a small team of smart people (Google alums, former YC founders, etc). Right now, we're especially interested in hiring a lead iOS engineer and some really bright computer vision engineers. If that sounds like something you're interested in, shoot me a note at eugene@thirdlove.com. I'll respond to each and every single e-mail. Send me sample projects you've worked on and I'll respond to you before anyone else :) Perks:

- a beautiful office space right next to South Park, SOMA (short walk from BART and Caltrain)

- commuter benefits

- catered lunches

- monthly in-office massages

- competitive salary/equity

- the look on peoples' faces when you tell them you work for a bra tech start-up
