Gladwell mentions people that accomplished outstanding results after spending 10k hours. But it is not correct way to show that theory is correct. To support his claim he need to show that most people that accomplished outstanding results after 10k hours of work. But it is not true. There are people that accomplished good results after 100 hours, 1000 hours and 10000 hours for sure.
No you are correct neither did I see Steve Blank saying there is one. For the 10kh rule to achieve sthg outstanding (write a masterpiece, be a prodigious musician etc.) it seems like it is pretty accurate. For business as always there is no rules ;) but to keep in mind that if you work 50h per week for 5months doing customer development, I would not be surprised that we are not far off. See the example of AirBnB: they said 1000 days in their StartupSchool talk that's way more and they seem pretty bright to me.

Also, I'm looking for a Java/AJAX/JQuery Developer to work in NOVA, if you're on the market, let me know!
I've found the most effective way to work through a problem is to have to explain it to my wife (who has no programming background). It works wonderfully.
It comes across as looking like a bit more of a
publicity stunt than anything else

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what this was
Depends where you slice the group to go out as normal. If it's under-40s, then 0-0.1%, which is likely a blip compared to things like smoking, driving, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, etc.
Where "risk category" includes "has diabetes and high blood pressure" -- these are not what most people think of as high risk conditions.
From watching all the episodes of "If you don't pay, we'll take it away", I think you can safely stay put...
Here in Ontario all evictions have been put on hold and landlords were asked to be lenient if tenants get behind on paying rent.
Instead of using GPS, consider using the WiFi base stations. Specifically, each location can be characterized by the set of WiFi base stations a phone can detect. GPS is useful while outdoors, but virus transmission is somewhat difficult outdoors. Indoors, a conference room on the third floor and the 40th floor will have the same GPS coordinates, but a phone in each location will detect a different set of WIFI based stations. This paper shows how WiFi base stations can be used https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.04730.pdf.

I might not understand methods to achieve privacy, but here are some thoughts.
1. The data could be stored more safely with something like Intel SGX, where only the application can access the data. In this scenario, the carrier (or healthcare worker), uploads the carrier’s path into SGX-based database. Then, individual users that are concerned about their risk could use the app to upload their location paths into the SGX-based system and learn if they are at risk as a simple yes/no. (I have never built an SGX application, so I might be mistaken on its abilities.)
2. I don’t think this is possible: “The solution is a ‘pull’ model where users can download encrypted location information about carriers” If the application is on my device, I can decompile it and get the decryption key or use other methods to dump the carriers’ location data to disk.
3. It seems that the user’s data is also stored on the device. This data is then at risk of being stolen by malicious applications. Instead, the location data can be encrypted with a public key that can only be decrypted on the SGX-protected servers.
Indexing is on but my understanding is that it only help reading, not writing on the DB

It's indeed a rare word.
It is for a fairly similar reason that Andrew Lloyd Webber is Lord Lloyd-Webber.
Bullshit. There are any number of ways Google can fix this issue:

Subsidized engineers to write drivers for them

Free/Cheap consulting team to write drivers and package releases for them

Supporting open source projects for porting firmware forward for the phones

They can create a HUGE code and VHDL library for phone development which can be used by anyone building a phone, thereby increasing the ability to release interfaces that fit with the new Android releases

Then can take on the vendor specific builds (a la a build farm).

And most importantly: Re merging Android with the Linux kernel, and pushing heavily for phone vendors to merge their source in as well.

Those are just technically oriented ways they can do it. From a business standpoint:

They can make an "Instant Upgrade" seal they put on phones that will have upgrades available X days after the vanilla Google release is out there. I know many people would look for this.

They can add a marketing division around android which gives a top tier to android phones which support a reasonable update timeline.

They can add future proof specs for the next 3 versions of Android, and anyone with at least those steps can run it out of the box

They can step up the GPL enforcement, making sure people are releasing all the drivers for all the phones as they're created, then take those source code drops and vanilla android, release a vanilla android build for all phones (or all phones that don't release an updated version in X days).

Google is providing pisspoor integration support for vendors, and the vendors certainly have no interest in updating handsets. If google doesn't fix this, Apple wins.
Not just the BOP. The actual well lining itself is eroding from the flow. There's a risk that this will deteriorate to the point that there's no way to seal the leak and the entire oil deposit will leak out.

It seems the article was too long for many people's patience/understanding threshold.
The downmodders are concerned because your post is an ad. Related to the thread? Yes.
But I see google ads all day that are related to content I'm looking at, and that doesn't necessarily mean I am happy about it.

Maybe a "Review my site" thread would be more appropriate.
Technically, any data on your computer is represented as an integer. Integer subtraction is simply not guaranteed to be meaningful as a distance operation for all encodings.

For most data types that you're likely to index by (numbers, strings in alphabetical order, dates, tuples of these things), it's quite possible to build a meaningful distance operation which can be used for this. If you're indexing by something for which its difficult to do this (graphs, versioned strings), you should probably rethink your data structure.
My go to story to describe this involves a guy who was a EMT. He spent his interviews describing his life as an EMT, and rarely dealing with any meaningful technical discussions. He was offered a ton of jobs....

I saw something similar with a badly underqualified sys-admin who had been in marine recon before embarking on a technical career. He had zero issues finding a high paying job.

Thank you. This article is bad science!
Sent. Good idea. Politicians normally only hear from us when we are mad. A nice twist.
Yeah, sadly I don't think this is a priority for most of the public, and many who do have an opinion support the "shut down the pirates, whatever it takes" approach.

Take Wyden in particular: he just won reelection two weeks ago, 57-40%. If this sequence of events had taken place before the election, would he have won by a larger margin? I think it's unlikely. Probably it would've turned out the same, but if anything it's possible he would've done slightly worse, since his opponent could attempt to portray him as a pro-piracy "extremist" who blocked a bipartisan bill that had passed the relevant committee unanimously.
> that kind of things has probably happened to most of companies created less than a year ago

No company gets a free pass on the implications of sacrificing privacy or security. Even if “less than a year old”.

This is serious:

“Any observer of internet traffic could easily match IDs on shared chatrooms to see who is talking to whom. For mainland Chinese users, this is troubling”
I guess it's just a matter of decency. You certainly don't need to abide by that but don't be surprised when others don't agree with or want to be around you.
That may be true of Clubhouse but not necessarily for the person I responded to. Anyway, there's plenty of ways to encrypt UDP, such as DTLS; see this RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6347
It doesn’t require new infrastructure most modern browsers support HTTP Public Key Pinning.

Since the browser vendor can pin their own keys in the distribution it gives you a sufficiently resilient proof against impersonation as all other keys can be validated through a connection that is known to be non susceptible to impersonation.
No it is not like that. I know you want to fit things to your narrative but honestly what we are asking here is to completely redesign cities from ground up and it is not going to happen anytime soon. Europe works since it has a huge history to it when cars weren't there and thus a lot of roads/lanes were built accordingly. To suggest US should do the same seems improbable to me. We should build for the future vs. the past. So the question I will ask what is next after cars? My mind goes into ideas such as aerial transport vs. walking/biking.

Also, I would be very curious how many folks commenting here have kids vs. single men/women who ride their bikes and hate that they have to share the road with cars.
Some editors like vim also grey out the text with "#if".
IIRC clickhouse still doesn't have this guarantee. It guarantees exactly one ingestion but not that the ingested event gets processed all the way through to view. And if the processing fails, that event won't be retried and is now gone.
Since it's not using a multi-stage build, go dev tools are clogging up the image, losing the benefit of using alpine in the first place.

If you're just running a go binary you can use distroless as the base for even smaller images.
I'll need an example of a process we can't explain by cutting it up in chunks though. DNA and the stock market- well, maybe we don't "understand" them as such, but that's not to say we can't, ever.

I think it would be very difficult to find a process that _cannot_ be understood by humans, let alon explain why. It'd be a bit of a paradox really. "Let me explain to you this thing that is impossible to understand".
There is an inherent asymmetry between content creator and content host. If the host is okay with the content today and blocks it tomorrow, it is the creator that suffers along with the host; it's never been the case that the consequences fall 100% on the host.

That's why markets have been valuing hosts of all sorts above their revenue for quite some time; gatekeeper is a valuable position to hold.
If you asked the mystics, they would probably say none whatsoever. Why spend your whole life learning how to walk on water if you can pay the boatsmen for a ride?

If it is all that you want.
Taking ketamine as a suppository (if you get powdered ketamine, you can just dissolve it in water) is much more pleasant than snorting it, and you get better control over the dosage. 5ml hobby syringes work well. If the price of prescribed IV ketamine treatment is a concern, this is well worth trying.
I'm from that period, a programmer even, but not clued in enough to know of people like Jenni (I did meet Captain Crunch once however).

The thing is that it's hard to see someone like this fundamentally changing the world. Not everything is inevitable but live-stream everything seems inevitable. Basically, breaking all barrier to knowledge of others seems inevitable and by that token, one level of invasiveness is going to replace another as the first level is forgotten (except by lagging consumers of whatever sort).
What is tech? If you mean sv startups perhaps. But pretty much any embedded sw shop will at least test at hire on.
Yes, on the front page of HN right now is a post about Atom phoning home.

No... it doesn't drop connections, so it doesn't provide any security.
The demo is certainly impressive, but the API doesn't look very idiomatic:

- JS is a camelCased language. While I certainly appreciate snake_case in Python, it doesn't belong in a JS library.

- The Matrix APIs are needlessly terse. rotate, multiply, translate, and identity are only a few characters longer than your choices, but they're oodles more intuitive and easier to read.
I read a lot of OwnCloud horror stories on another HN thread about two weeks ago. I'm going to try other servers, if only because I don't want PHP on my server only for OwnCloud.

Quick glance at DigitalOcean looks AWESOME! Way better than the pricing estimations I was looking at for other hosts.

Thanks all for advising on DigitalOcean, I think I'll go with them :)
I'm in favour of competition, but this sounds like "Music industry should be forced to release cassette tapes"

BB was ahead of the curve, had its glory days, dropped the ball on not focusing on enterprise and now it is struggling to find its place.

I do think we need a 3rd big player in this market (other than apple/google). Feels like innovation has became a battle of thinness / big screens.
Reminded me the Pomodoro technique[1]. The only difference is, you also add extra things on bottom of the list. I tried it but couldn't effectively apply it, I'm better with long, uninterrupted chunks of work and prefer nighttime for it, but YMMV.

Voting with their feet is one metric for determining if a design is right. Which is to say that building something that people can start using and then iterating on feedback may be a better approach than trying to specify features in the abstract. There are lots of existing build systems that inflict existing pain, removing some of that actual pain is a good starting point...even if that pain is yours.

The likelihood of creating a popular build system based upon sound design principles is inversely proportional to the ubiquitousness of 'make.

Good luck.
Continuing to use Haskell for practical things even though you may not totally understand monads. But besides that, yeah... same difference 😉
But wait, even with an effective police and judiciary, with the "proper" laws in place, you still can't be secure in your person or property.

Think about eminent domain and how it has and can be used against those with a property that the ruling class needs to have.

That might seem like a stretch, but not if you're at the receiving end.
Network congestion is not the only reason for packets to be dropped. Wifi and mobile connections can be hampered by radio interference or have trouble transmitting through thick walls, hardware can be faulty, wires and fiber can be damaged, routers (especially home routers) can be poorly configured, cosmic rays can flip bits, etc. The internet is not perfect, and network programmers in a certain soft-realtime, low-bandwidth domain have noted that sending duplicates of their tiny packets instead of waiting around for ACKs results in an improvement in reliability and average latency at negligible cost. You're trying to extrapolate this idea way too far. No one is saying we should swap TCP out tomorrow with an alternative that works that way.
Apple has a huge majority of users who are basically into fashion. I usually buy the newest things and give away the old stuff, even if its just charging cables or an extra monitor.
Looks like internet is going to be partitioned one way or another. The time where any (non-loggedin) web site are accessible are coming to an end. Thanks a lot of scrappers and DDOS attack guys. Alway takes a few bad apples to ruined it for rest of us.
Yes, but there are also plenty of ways bias can creep into an RCT. Also remember we're not talking about the same virus - the trials were on 'vanilla' virus while by the time Pfizer arrived to Israel en mass B117 was prevalent. It could be the 1st dose is less efficient with B117. That's close to what the other link I provided earlier[0] argued. Can decision makers really take that risk?

Earlier I linked to a short twitter thread explaining the article.
Wasn't much better in the reader either. I guess the author doesn't realize Reader doesn't do a whole lot for grammar.
Wait a second... we'll have to find a new word for the concept currently known as bootstrapping, because articles like these make the word completely meaningless.

Bootstrapping means creating a self-sustaining business. At a minimum, this means you have revenue to cover your running costs. You can only say "bootstrap with less than $10K" if that 10K gives your business enough revenue to cover its running costs. Yet this is what one of the founders has to say in another comment here on HN: We will try first to build a community/traffic and then will look for revenues.

I guess it's not the founders' fault that the article was written this way. But once they've spent a lot of time and money on actually building their community/traffic + the inevitable further development costs, and they start making some revenue, we'll know how much it cost them to bootstrap the business.

Some great tips for getting an MVP together though.
> but relying on a 3rd party to handle your infosec is terribly misguided.

No one's suggesting anything like that. It's just a basic protection that Github could offer its users, because its users are humans, and humans make mistakes.

I've installed quite a few of the existing solutions in quite a few prisons. I think the biggest factor that you pointed out is the existing provider.

Currently, there are only a handful of major players that really offer services in corrections. They are all currently trying to turn into the Apple/Google/Microsoft of corrections. So when you are trying to offer SMS services, they already have those services bundled. Along with video visitation, commissary, grievance reporting (kites), inmate phones and just a whole list of other services.

If you are doing an application for a tablet device then you wouldn't need the steel inmate proof case. Quite a few of the current tablet solutions are see through plastic.

The best way to get your messaging solution into prisons is to piggyback on other solutions. There are quite a few companies with solutions that are running around trying to throw what they have on as many platforms as possible. The key is to build a platform and have it to where it runs your messaging app.

Another thing with some of the current messaging solutions in the corrections market is that they will charge the price of a stamp for messages.

If installation inside of a prison is another hurdle, there are companies that you can work with on that.

I was dealing with this for about 5 years and have a whole bunch more to say about the opportunities but I'll just stop here.
Personally I tried to like Rust but I just found it endlessly frustrating to write code in. Yeah C++ has a lot of gotchas but they're gotchas I know. I feel like the Rust compiler is just yelling at me constantly and a lot of patterns from C++ land don't really translate well into Rust code.

Queueing up requests works on a per-request basis, but what happens when your code changes affect existing sessions

Good point.

The session protocol is a bit awkward in that you need to implement all of it if you want to change only a small part, but it's there to be hooked into, which is what the frameworks built on top of Hunchentoot do.

I notice you used the plural "frameworks" built on top of Hunchentoot. Are there any aside from Weblocks?
Oh? What about the graph of everyone that you want to connect with and much of the communication between you and your "friends" (which is only boosted by these new features)?

> My thought has always been that these kinds of 'working' skills are what you get at university, but really I have no idea.

You will not. You will acquire those working skills in the course of the profession. A degree program may expand your academic knowledge of computer science, and attendance at a university will provide networking opportunities where you will meet people and be exposed to new ideas, but it will not teach you to be a tradesman.

If you want to be a trademan (specifically, a programmer), you need to start working in that trade - find a job as a junior programmer. You'll learn more relevant to your desired career there than you possibly could at university.

Right, they don't form unions to beat people. But pretty much every union involves implicit threats of being beaten in the parking lot. Certainly having your stuff stolen from your locker and broken or left in the toilet. As long as there are picket lines people will hit those trying to cross them. Talk to a unionist and see, they're very free with these stories.

It's not the goal but when you've convinced yourself you're fighting the good fight I guess you take the gloves off.
While awful this is some kind of progress. Wasn't too long ago the FBI would just murder your family if you refused to be an informant for them[1].

"Although the FBI agents told me I could leave whenever I wanted, when the door closed and they started questioning me, it certainly didn’t feel that way."

You should just walk out at this point. Don't talk to them unless you have to and then not without your lawyer present. I think a lot of the harm comes from the fact they think they're close to bullying their victim into submission so they keep escalating their abuse. If they knew from the start it wouldn't work they might not go so far.
