that's vuejs shorthand for binding the attribute to a variable (or a js value).

i.e. show is bound to the value of showRight placement is read as "right" width is set to be the int 350.

I had the strangest interaction with the Messenger app a few months ago.

I was spending time with friends, and I took a few pictures of all of us (didn't send them through either FB or Messenger). A few hours later, messenger popped up a notification telling me something along the lines of "Hey, I see you took pictures today of <friend>. Want to send them to her?"

Made me feel incredibly creeped out that FB would take my photos and (presumably upload and) analyze them even when I hadn't given them to FB.

I'm finding this comment thread to be a great example of the idea that everyone has different and particular learning styles. 6 comments, 4 different git tutorials (not counting the original post.)

My assumption about basic income was always that at it's core, it provides the money for food and shelter. This reduces bureaucratic overhead in terms of trying to provide people those goods, and gives them the freedom to make their own choices and not have to work to survive, and the government is no longer forced to create the infrastructure to try to find ways to provide food and shelter. This may, however, require work in terms of providing affordable housing options to everyone, but I don't think you have to solve one problem first to solve the other.

Health Care and Education are a separate (but still related and important) set of problems. Both of those require greater infrastructure on the part of the government to provide effective solutions, so again this is a problem that also requires a lot of thought and effort, but providing basic income doesn't seem like it would preclude health care/education reform. Nor does it seem like solving health care and education reform would change the structure or overall effects of a basic income program; they're simply additional solutions that would certainly improve our quality of life and possibly the efficacy of the program.

I think it's reasonable to argue that it's less of an either/or and more of a self-defeating cycle.

Lower class life -> desire to escape -> worse habits -> lower class life

and so on.

Huge fan of Vue.js. Clean, lightweight, very easy to learn, use and build powerful functionality with.

I think the keyword is significantly. If Uber tripled or quadrupled their prices, I think they'd be fairly vulnerable to regional competitors. Even an increase of 1.5x seems like it'd be hard to pull off.

Speaking anecdotally, I know for sure that I'd use a cheaper alternative to save $5 even if it took an extra 10 min.

Not exactly a puzzle, but a good game of Mao is always a fun challenge.

thanks. I've seen that before, but for some reason I kept assuming that it was different than an actual k interpreter because none of their docs refer to the K language.

Slightly unrelated question - where would I find an interpreter for K so I can start playing around with the language?

I understand what you're saying, but my argument is that the 5K in credits are actually of fairly low value to the startups getting office hours, because they don't have real profits/revenue at that stage, at least not enough where 5K makes a difference to the long term survival of a startup.

If I'm a very early stage startup, I'm worried about being alive next year. Yes, 5K may help, but that 5K will likely not make a significant difference in my company's prospects. 20 minutes with an advisor at YC could completely change my company's trajectory.

I'd imagine there are very few companies that apply, and then get selected for office hours, that will walk away from the meeting saying "I'm so glad I did that because I got 5K in Amazon credits." That said, it is still a great perk.
