> Cycling is fine until its too cold, too wet, too hot, and oh I am late or I need to carry something else or .. or... or..

Welcome to life, it's hard, and this will hardly be the worst thing you'll face. I bike year round in Berlin, all you need is a rain coat and waterproof shoes, I'm faster than cars on any trip <5km. I still cringe every time I bike next to a 1km+ traffic jam (ie. every single day) and see that every car is occupied by a single person. Moving 2 tons of metal for a 70kg meatbag will always be the least efficient way. Just stop a minute and think about it, the whole street if completely packed, hundreds of square meters used, for what, maybe 300 persons in their expensive wheeled boxes... and then you have the space used by parking spots.

People in the past, and a lot of people today, still live perfectly fine without cars. We fucked up by designing all of our activities around them and now we're slave to them, it doesn't have to stay like that.

Convenience will kill us all if that's all we care about and don't take into account the non monetary price of it
Does the Japanese goverment use Hiragana on official documments in order to properly spell out names easily?
It existed in W2K and maybe even earlier, but there were bugs in the console regarding codepage 65001, so you couldn't use it as the default. This was not fixed yet in XP, maybe in 7 though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFWCbGzxofU is a deep dive by Adam Neely into "Girl From Ipanema" covering how "The Real Book" neutered the blues countermelody because ... someone just didn't write it down in the 70s and everyone learns it from TRB now.
The national league organizations do a lot of good things. I would say that most importantly they have standardized coaching education, e.g. what should kids be learning at each age level. Then locally you have clubs and leagues that operate to schedule games and do all the legwork of reserving time on fields for games and practices, raising funds to pay for it, handling communication with parents, etc.

Sure if you just want to just show up at the park on Saturday afternoon to see who else is there and hit the ball around, you can do that. Without some structure and organization, it will never go beyond that.

But ARM/AArch64 did always have good compiler support. ARM was the second arch added to llvm.
That just sounds more like price-fixing/collusion problem rather than an incentive problem
Looks great for me on my old MacBook Air, 10.14. And you picked a great set of images. The svgasm of the lions really struck me, it was almost art in its own right -- how you might see the lions if you weren't looking at the details, but just the feeling. Projecting my own emotions maybe, but really cool stuff and pretty inspiring that it took so little time to implement.
I mean once you have a function object instance, you've lost the source code, you can't know anything about what it does (beyond the type) except what you can glean by running it.
This is part of a bigger problem: people trust any kind of garbage people post on social media like Facebook and Twitter--instead of relying on traditional media for their news. While there are lots of problems with traditional media, it at least tries to have some quality control. [For example anti-vaccination posts.]
I think the key difference is exactly what you're getting at - there isn't a physical scarcity to be had here, so a digital token primarily expresses speculative value by default. Speculation always comes and goes with the hype of a bubble.

Lasting value beyond speculation appears when there is use value. But how do you apply a use value to a token? Well, you can't do it by locking down the nominally encoded asset - that's just a sticker pasted on it. These things do not gatekeep well. The use value comes from someone declaring that the bearer of the token is now entitled to something - a song, a poem, a noble rank. Anyone can do that for any token at any time. That is a thing that a unique, uncensored digital asset could be very relevant towards.

So the interesting part has not really come yet.
What then would you propose as a decision procedure for whether we are in a bubble?
OHHH! That makes SO much more sense. Okay, yeah you guys should clarify that, that's a huge selling point. Thanks for the response.
We started our company out of the Stanford Biodesign fellowship and are part of the current YC batch. We are making an implantable medical device - the old school kind with no software involved.

Medical device innovation is broken. Companies developing devices like ours are taking 10 years and $100M to see revenue, and most people in the industry consider this time and cost inevitable. For that reason, investment in the space has plummeted. ROIs suck. The thing is though that it's not inevitable. The space is ripe for smarter and more efficient ways to bring products to market. This process innovation is not coming from academia, nor will it ever. Academics just doesn't think that way, and they're categorically not good at commercialization. This new thinking is coming from independent startups that embrace a hacker mentality and reject conventional wisdom. As we all know, that's very similar to the ethos of YC.

Stanford Biodesign has a stellar track record of producing medtech winners, and that's because its process works. The advice we've heard from the YC partners in the program has aligned very well with the advice we heard from the top forward-thinking entrepreneurs in the industry at Biodesign. They get it. YC partners may not understand the intricacies of healthcare as well as industry veterans, but it doesn't need to. They understand how to build a great company regardless of vertical. YC brings in top founders from industry, who already have the necessary expertise and connections, and encourages them to think big and think differently. I don't see how that's not a winning formula. Yes, healthcare is different, but it's similar to other typical YC verticals in more ways than you think.
> That seems unrealistic, given historical returns of US equity markets.

Especially considering we've just had 5 years of pretty remarkable returns in the equity markets, so if anything you'd expect low returns over the next few years. US equity as a whole is valued pretty high relative to earnings at the moment, and the technology sector is in line with that.
Heck ya! Every single week... Except for Dec when I take a 4 week "break" from content writing/marketing.
Exactly - in a well connected world/economy, local measurements of income don't mean much. As someone that's lived in and near Detroit, the incomes listed there have no relation to my idea of what's lower/middle/upper class. Most people in the area would probably peg those closer to what you see on Dallas or San Diego's charts. Detroit proper (as opposed to the sprawling Detroit area, which mostly looks like any suburban metro area) is simply a very poor city - I doubt it's much comfort to anyone making $30,000 there that they happen to fall in the middle, and I doubt that an employer would have any luck trying to pay an engineer a $60,000 "upper class" salary.

I love how this article is speculating on what crazy things Amazon must be building by adding that many people. I'll tell you what they're building: fulfillment centers and call centers.

About 5 years ago when Amazon had around 15K employees worldwide and they only had 3K in Seattle and only a few small dev centers around the world. So even if every single person in Seattle was working on development that still only accounts for 20% of the workforce.

I can't find up to date numbers on the number of people in each location but considering there's now 40 FCs worldwide I don't think my math can be that far off. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com#Locations)

If I had to bet, I'd say 2000 of 11000 new employees are either developers, dev managers, or project managers.

It might also be worth asking when the headcount for Zappos got tacked onto Amazon.com.

in what way is burning plant matter carbon neutral?

It doesn't entrap atmospheric C02, it is grown in a tank. Then you burn it, wherein it -combusts- releasing Co2. Burning dried life is -not- carbon neutral.

3. Why is my iPhone logging my location?

The iPhone is not logging your location. Rather, it’s maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around your current location, some of which may be located more than one hundred miles away from your iPhone, to help your iPhone rapidly and accurately calculate its location when requested

This actually makes sense - looking at the logs on my iPhone and iPad, the locations where pretty far away from the places where I usually roam, and actually there was a very great deal of places where I've never been, not even close.
That's cool, awesome! :)
The company where we host most of our servers has an SLA thats starts paying 10% monthly refund per 10 minutes of downtime that is their fault. I can't believe that you guys will take anything at this magnitude of downtime and still stick around.

Does Heroku even have an SLA? I can't find it. If they did maybe they would have been more proactive to prevent this kind of problem.

I'm going off of a brief time I experimented with it, I admit that I didn't use hg very long. I may come to like it better or learn more if I use hg for a serious project, though I know of no reason to do so voluntarily other than curiosity and education.

The branch model doesn't compete because branches are ingrained, as this article discusses; the changeset always carries the branch name with it. Branches are also ingrained as "long-lived branches" and instead of the mere application of a label to divergent changesets, these branches appear tightly coupled and are meant to be merged and/or closed in the way hg expects. You can only get git-like flexibility such as cherry-picking by making another clone or by installing a variety of extensions.

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/GitConcepts#Branch_model , which explains that git-like branches don't have a direct equivalent in Mercurial unless you use the BookmarkExtension to apply names to a changeset; otherwise, you must use hg heads, which doesn't work in quite the same way, at least during my brief experience.

On top of this, git is usually faster and usually has much smaller repositories (see https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitBenchmarks), so I don't see much reason to prefer hg. git integrates fine with Windows if one installs msysgit, which includes a minimalist cygwinish environment and is not at all unreasonable.
>I know our lives on a cosmic scale are infinitesimal.

I like to think of each consciousness as a prime number, an inevitable pattern if you write out every possibility. Our brains are contained within some 3 dimensional finite configuration of atoms, and in a large enough scale it will be repeated again. Even its exact position when you read this message.
A legacy of sysv rather than having shell script handle init.

It is quite possible to have the script for PID handling be written once, and imported as needed.
I have had HIPAA training. TLDR:

"Certain other people, like doctors and insurance companies, need to comply with strict rules surrounding your privacy when handling your health data. You, on the other hand, can do any fucking thing you want with your personal health data. Sign here in triplicate to assign this right to others. Have a nice day."

(I might be making up the triplicate thing for dramatic effect. It might only be duplicate. shrug)
Geometric algebra looks cool, and this library seems like exactly what is needed for graphics programmers to use it.

What I'd really like to see is a comprehensive cheat sheet with formulas for common tasks in computer graphics with an absolute minimum of theory and jargon; even less than this article. Of course it's great to learn the theory too, but most people just call slerp in a quaternion library without learning the theory of quaternions. It should be possible to use a geometric algebra library in a similar way.
I say screw the negative effects! Negative effects will always be there, in all parts of society. Why do you focus only on the negative side here? I suspect its because you might be a "nay-sayer" all over. I say +1 to good discussions. And -1 to political correct bullshit.

Perhaps what could be changed here is the scale of time from months to years and a shift in the chosen solution space from harvesting to nurturing?

PG requests more star quality programmers right now. Perhaps a more fruitfull approach would be to figure out what makes great programmers great and figure out how to teach people to be more like them. I.e. hunter gathering for roots versus figuring out how to plant a vegetable garden. What is so great about good programmers? Love of quality, learning by doing - beyond a certain ability of concentration and verbal acuteness I'm fairly confident these could be taught to people in structured form far better than how the current institutions manage. Universities were created first and foremost to train people in complex but established and repetitive procedures - not to be crafting shops even though the latter would benefit learning the art of programming far better. Why not pour the funds required for lobbing into attempts at improving programmer education, I'm sure the ROI in the latter would far outpace the former in the long run.

In addition to being obnoxious I don't even think your analogy is correct. Programming languages are the tools, and it makes sense a non mechanic wouldn't understand why some tools are better than others.
With the advent of DNSSEC, IPv6 and EDNS0 you're more likely to see DNS responses >512 bytes, therefore falling back to TCP (with truncate bit set). Therefore it is strongly recommended you do not drop/block tcp 53 on your middleboxes , firewalls etc.

I'm not sure that House is an entirely accurate depiction of how diagnostic medicine works. For instance, I'm pretty sure real diagnosticians have to look something up in a book every now and then.
Innovation is really risky. If they aren't even competent enough to clone OS X, trying to innovate past it sounds like a recipe for failure.
I think there is a difference between "complex" and "complicated". It might require more effort to delve into the details of complexity, but to the extent that you can recognize where the effort needs to be applied to develop a reliable understanding, it's not "complicated" in the sense of being incomprehensible.

The author mentioned that "normal" people will often presume that someone who sounds complicated is smart, but I've seen the converse bias among smart people: they expect things to make sense, so when an explanation seems too convoluted, they tend to dismiss it as bullshit.

The biggest issue is the difference between:

SEO=link farming, spamming blogs, generated blogs/sites, etc...

SEO=building accessible standards compliant markup, making it easy for people to find content they were actually looking for, etc...

My gut reaction to hearing "SEO Company" makes me think of #1, even though I know "good" SEO is really just good page development, good content, good use of keywords, etc... As an engineer I'd prefer to hear about standards compliant markup, accessible (508/WAI), canonical URLs, clear DOM structure, and developing content to better serve users: which is really what it's all about.
I think that most people here prefer "any other problem" to marketing.
Bad SEO does that. Good SEO makes it easier for people to find the information they were looking for. It's a race.
It's not easy balancing on the bleeding edge.

Right now I've already made http://beaconpush.com support two different versions of Web Sockets implemented by different versions of Google Chrome.
(There were differences in the handshake origin URL).

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not complaining. I knew what could happen. It's just that the hype surrounding Web Sockets rarely mention these more cumbersome details of the protocol still being a draft.
I read you as saying that insults are unfortunate, but that insults + actual arguments are better than insults alone. Did you not mean that?

I was saying that insults + actual arguments are worse than insults alone.
There's no machine learning involved for hot pixel removal. The way I have heard it described is that hot pixels stay in the same place across multiple images. One of the processing steps is to figure out the location of the hot pixels by looking at multiple frames. Stars will shift slightly in between the longer exposures where as hot pixels will not.
General curiosity in some topic? I can talk quite a bit about firearms, ammunition etc. yet I never owned a gun, shot altogether maybe 5-8 rounds in my whole life (apart from BB gun).

I like watching youtube channels like Demolition ranch or Iraqveteran8888 for their technical expertise, viewpoints and just fun. Without any real expectation to ever own a gun to expand on this knowledge. Maybe some nice bow one day (which these channels don't even cover).

Don't expect everybody acting rationally all the time, considering cost/benefit against all activities, or similar.

> mature tooling that exists at FAANG

I never worked at FAANG but even after more than 10 years working in tech, it still surprises me how undervalued well working tooling is. I'm not talking about 100% automation with infinite possibilities. Just really basic stuff, like deployment or setting up a development environment. That should always be a no-brainer.
From what I hear from someone who works at a big 4 it sounds soul destroying.

Shouldn’t we expect police officers and their leaders to value justice and the truth over having officers’ backs?
