@fabio, yes, exactly what we did. We gave it a shot and wanted also to test the many different services available to crowdsource workforce.

If you believe in open source, then you need to be respectful of copyright law. It is the foundation for open source licensing.

I don't see how that follows. I support open source, that is, the free distribution of software code. Open source licensing is just a necessary evil to account for the fact that copyright is anti-open-source by default. A few decades back, when the US and other countries required registration to copyright works, open source licensing would have been a ridiculous suggestion (except for copyleft licenses), even though open source itself would still make perfect sense.
You can tell it's from a real biologist by the time they spent aligning each line of text to the background image.
What if the robot sent the video's poster a message saying "Hey, you're using my music without my permission. If you put on an annotation crediting it to me and linking it to my Bandcamp page, i'll give you my permission. But if you don't, i'll DMCA you."?

Essentially, you'd be implementing the earlier, non-evil, version of the Content ID program yourself.
You forgot to mention how the January wind sucks all the breath out of your lungs.
I am talking about what was guaranteed to be exportable under the "7-day" review process, though 40-bit was a good rule of thumb for other algorithms.
Neat.

It seems we can simulate this behavior in TSQL[0] by using recursive CTEs in a function.

I'd prefer static analysis that extracts strings from calls like t("Check out our Jobs page {{url}}!") and auto-populates the appropriate locale files/databases, etc. Referencing keys all over the place seems like a poor substitute to just writing the content in a natural way and having the tools do the heavy lifting for you. For instance, I know that Twitter and Facebook both handle I18N content in such a way, and you can see the text-strings that they use in the translation dashboards.

There's also a good technical overview of Facebook's I18N framework here: https://www.quora.com/Facebook-Internationalization/What-was... .
Haha, true:)
Fun thing is for me, I'm properly the most irreligious person in the whole family, but also the only one who doesn't own a tv.
This.

There's a great book called Living High and Letting Die by Peter Unger which relates to this subject. Essentially, the argument is we here in the first world have a moral obligation to continue onward and upward as long as we benefit those in the third world.

We have to first recognize our privilege or luxury before we are able to see how we can use it to help those people in the third world.

His argument in this post is "The laws of physics are unavoidable". That makes no sense at all! There is no logical reason to believe that calories (a thermodinamic unity) is transformed in fat in our body.

This is the same as saying that all fat should go to the feet because of Gravity and the laws of physics are unavoidable. It is pure non-sense.

Do you know how to measure calories on food? You burn it and measure the heat it generates. How this apply to our body function is a mistery to me. To anyone actually.

Taubes theory is based on hormones, which is what the medicine proved for the last century that is what regulates all kind of function in our bodies. Make much more sense, no??

Calories in - calories out muchbe relevant to a thermal plant, no to our body producing fat.
I was wondering about repairs the whole time I read that article. It's fun to think about sending up a rescue vehicle, but I would think attempting repairs would be easier and that wasn't really talked about in the article.
Day 1: Raw DOM manipulation with jQuery to fill it with micro-tears.

Day 3: Profit.
To be honest I was a little disappointed when I saw this talk. Its title was not accurate for a presentation at ccc. It is neither advanced nor attributable to a nation state. It grossed me out when the nontechnical guy hyped things and the hired gun shied away, making it clear the nontechnical guy is grandstanding - also not appropriate for ccc- so I left before it ended.
Which is precisely why I use carrier pigeons from my secure locations to use the internet... All disks in and out are block-level scanned and analysed before loaded at the application level, and USB ports are hot glued closed, along with peripherals hot-glued in place.
Not sure I agree with the point on page 69 about not spending time on developing strategic relationships. Those things take forever to build and it's really a good idea to start working on them early just to start the clock.

Part of our distribution strategy is AppExchange on Salesforce platform. We have both a small business product and product more geared for enterprise sales teams.

I have a fairly large customer who is using my product, which gives me the social proof I need when talking to these people, but it should be possible to do it even earlier.

The idea is to engage with enterprise sales reps and stay in touch with them, not to simply say "Our product would be a wonderful fit with your customers" and make it the end of the conversation. It's important to ask "Who is the most appropriate person within your organization that I should be in touch with regarding this matter".

I wouldn't spend a lot of time on early strategic relationships, but it is possible to identify strong fit quickly. The challenge is to start the conversation how your product can help their existing customers. "When was the last time your customer complained about..."

Why is the introduction 48 pages long? Let's be honest and realize that your readers already know a lot about the lean startup concept. You may want to mention using mindmapping as an effective means of filling out the canvas. That's how I do it anyway with freemind and tortoisesvn.

Next, you start talking about content marketing and right away jump into "Revenue streams and cost structure". Since there is no clear (enough) delineation where the chapters start and end, that's a disconnect.

What I liked about the book is your specific early interview strategies. That is probably the most useful part.

In summary, notwithstanding its "bloggy" style that needs serious copy editing and restructuring, I learned enough from the book to pay you something. :)

I am also very impressed with crocodoc. That you for introducing it to me, zach. I would put that link into your initial post.

Story time. I worked for a company who did prior art on something that was frankly fucking to obvious and is now ubiquitous (but as far as I know we did it first). At one point a patent troll sued us. Our clients were on our side and one of them (a very prestigious law school that rhymes with Barvard), offered their resources to help us fight the troll. The C level management decided to not risk it and just paid the troll. We were a 20 person company at the time and it wasn’t worth it I guess.

The way folks used to duplicate disks protected by custom head-positioning schemes was through a variety of track-by-track copying programs (Locksmith, Nibbles Away, and Penulticopy were the most popular IIR) that could be fed parameter files with custom instructions for head positioning/rotation speed to duplicate the data for a given piece of software.

These parameter files were generally created by the community, who raced to be the first to gain fame publishing the keys for whatever just released or impossible-to-crack software came out. For a brief time, there was a thriving underground of parameter file traders.

I knew of someone who'd actually compiled a book of parameters, got it printed at a local copy shop and would sell it for $16 at swap meets. He eventually got a C&D from the makers of Locksmith claiming that the parameters he was publishing were covered under their copyright (even though they were created by the community). Not sure if they actually had a legal case, but he wasn't about to find out.
Yes, coding in your very broad sense is necessary to modeling in Granger's sense. The bigger problem is that coding isn't sufficient for modeling. We can and do get lost in the details of programming languages and tools. We design "learn to code" programs that teach typing and data-entry as opposed to abstract thinking.
Thanks for helping out with this explanation. I just updated the article and added an answer section briefly addressing this. Maybe check it out and let me know if you think the answer is sufficient?
It definitely goes both ways but I think it's important to recognize that _most_ people don't fall for those fringe beliefs. Keeping ties to the people that do fall into them gives them a lifeline to pull themselves out.

Additionally, I find the thought process of the person that wants to shut down those "dangerous" ideas pretty repulsive. It seems implicit to me that they are trying to protect those that are lesser than them. There's an implicit superiority there.
Not sure your education is finished.
If you are below 50, risk factors play a significant role in determining your actual IFR, while if you're above 70, your age is the primary risk factor.

I don't think your graph adjusts for that, and I think the difference in IFR between covid and the flu for healthy people under 50 is smaller. We're already at pretty small risks for those ages, and even if the difference is still 10x, it is - to use a highly scientific term - whatevs.

So if you are healthy and under 50, you won't die from covid, and you shouldn't jump the queue. Better?
We also have the tech to have complementary resources. You and me don’t get to decide success or failure of an initiative based on mere existence of technology.

It seems you’re quite passionate about labelling success/failures from your individual lens.
> Except that fiat money can be analyzed axiomatically

Not in a meaningful way. (meaningful = related to real economy). If you just look at the numbers in a silly accountant fashion, and population doubles, analysis is meaningless.

You need want to keep money relatively stable (say 2% inflation) you need to keep adding money to match changes in demand or factors of production.

This argument fails, and with a poor example. Experimentation with cheap materials is a reasonable preparation for investing in more complex and time-consuming processes.

Also, fine "art" is what Leonardo DaVinci is primarily known for but only a fraction of what he and his contemporaries did during the renaissance.

a 25% raise is unlikely next year, sounds to me that this was more of a salary adjustment than a raise which are typically between 3-9%. At your salary level it's not uncommon to have adjustments to bring you in line with others in your team. Possibly they started you low to see how it would work out.

I got my first taste of functional programming with Erlang. Honestly, it had me befuddled for quite some time with pattern matching and the "functional" style; I was used to using objects to encapsulate rather than "modules" and "functions" - the distinction in nomenclature may seem frivolous, but the concepts are worlds apart when used in the context of Erlang or Java.

Erlang taught me a lot that I never even came close to learning with PHP, Python, and C++. Most notably what Erlang is good at - Concurrent Programming.

I still didn't fully "grok" functional programming though as I just completed the book and didn't complete any projects using Erlang. The real meal first started with Common Lisp which drove me to Scheme (Common Lisp is a mess, Scheme is minimal in nature, and Scheme is much more true to a functional language than CL). I then picked up the Little Schemer series of books and proceded to have my world view enlarged; with the addition of many other excellent resources, my knowledge of programming increased exponentially.

Within a few months of "grokking" functional programming and grooving with Scheme (it is my favorite language to date, Python comes second) the noted benefits were: an increased academic understanding of computing and the modality with which computable logic is represented, clearer/cogent/lucid and higher-caliber thought, my creativity in programming was unleashed, and I've found that I have a vested interest in the philosophy behind what I do. I also feel like my general perception of reality has changed too, I interpret my life experiences with a different set of concepts now.

The experience of learning a functional language and being committed to "grokking" it, has been remarkably similar to the time I went backpacking through India for two months on a budget...alone. I came back with a new kind of maturity and my mind just works different from everyone else I know that still hasn't left the states. It's like that, your mind just works different than all the others that haven't left procedural/OOP land.

As for production projects: there are plenty of companies that use Scheme, Erlang, and a other functional languages. I personally would love the opportunity to program in Erlang or Scheme over any other language (they are that much of a joy); alas, my industry (web application programming) is primarily enamored in Ruby/Python/PHP (Python and PHP being my primary marketable skills) so I would probably need to build my own startup or work for a company that uses the language (it wouldn't be in web application programming though!).

By the way, HN is built using a dialect of LISP based off of Common LISP (is that correct?) of which Scheme (Scheme is also a dialect of LISP) is a brother.
I like the parallels - I'm managing a tech company at the moment but have previously worked at production companies. The overlaps are ample but I'm curious if anyone sees the negative aspect of such low barriers of entry.

I first noticed this as I started losing interest in photography following the shift to digital. Previously it required such a large degree of craft and investment of time. Interestingly enough this is what made it rewarding. Exposing celluloid, developing it by hand, and printing in darkrooms was something of a meditative and powerful process. And in turn the results were more highly valued. After the barriers were removed via digital photography the space got more crowded, and the craft was, if not eliminated, then replaced by something altogether different.

I understand nothing is stopping anyone from still developing by hand, but the value has been destroyed as you can't compete with the low cost or, more importantly, the low barriers for creating a satisfying image - and in turn, the value of photographers as a profession (and the work they create) has become saturated.

I balance this reality with the undeniable ease of shooting now, and there is room for innovation yet in that field. And the social benefits of being able to easily share imagery is still in its infancy. But in my heart I'm doubtful if we'll see another Cartier-Bresson or Adams as the climate has been saturated, and therefore simply commoditized.

And so that's the question - do low barriers of entry inherently lead to saturation/commodification of a craft (as much as you can label startups/entrepreneurship a craft)? And is that, in reality, the point? The inevitability?
Editing is filmmaking. Writing, acting, photography, recording, those are all arts in themselves, and if you're good at just one of them you don't need a film to be successful. Add editing, and you've turned it into filmmaking.

"Announcing Brightbox Cloud â€“ the UKu0027s first true cloud hosting platform"
It's so damn cute! Part of me wants to believe that the market could really use a Model 100-type system that is easy to carry, handles the basics and has batteries that last forever. But that's just my inner geek; such a thing would today be a niche product for enthusiasts and special use cases at best. What most people want is a MacBook Air. Or an iPad.

There is the idea of Singapore as a small plucky low-tax, small-government country that's extremely high growth and well-off by being at "the gates to Asia" as a trade and manufacturing hub.

And the idea is that an independent UK could be the same for the (slow, inflexible) EU. Which ignores that Singapore actually has high government investments in industries and does the hub role so well because it has good trade integration with its neighbors. Which the UK had in the EU, but could only expect to keep in a Brexit that strongly aligns it with EU policy (which would stop it from giving too much preferential treatment to its own industries etc)

It's been one of the most important lessons I've had to learn in my career and am still learning: not to care so much about everything.

That said, working on something that I care about is also one of the aspects of my job I love the most. I think the trick is to carefully pick a few things that you care about and focus on that, but then also to have a far more hands-off approach for pretty much everything else, and let others shape those things to their visions.
"a new search engine that cannot be gamed"

So you mean a search engine that's 100% human curated? Or rather, a directory, it wouldn't really be a search engine.

Any algorithmic signal can be gamed. Although I'd be curious to hear how I'm wrong about that.
Toyota has fixed the frame on the Tacoma and pinky promised the new ones won't rust out every year since 1990ish and recalled something every year since 2000ish. People find all sorts of ways to hand-wave it away.

And then there was that decade where they made trucks and SUVs with ball joints that would pop out with levels of wear that would be inconsequential had they designed them conventionally.

I guess the above are engineering examples. Their QA is definitely spot on.

> Or you can do three operations using a single 16 x 16 x 16 x 16 lookup table, and introduce fewer data dependencies into your CPU pipeline.

Gotcha.

So to summarize: you've seen GF(2^4) calculations performed SIMD style. A singular 16-bit lookup can be 4x GF(2^4) lookups in parallel.

Seems legit to me. A non-obvious implementation, but clearly possible and faster.
I know how companies are governed, and it is of course an empirical fact that most large listed American companies are run to maximise stockholder value. But that does not mean that it is the purpose of all, or even most companies. People run companies with a variety of reasons, including things like having fun or making the world a better place. More importantly, companies have moral obligations not only to stock holders, but to the employees, the environment, and the communities they operate in.
Who do you trust to supply you with "objective facts" about politics? Why not at least take a look at the New York Times article? Are you afraid you'll forget you don't trust them and take everything at face value?

Even if you don't trust the journalists and editors at the NYT, the article links to primary sources from the US Supreme Court, Wisconsin Supreme Court, Pennsylvania Department of State and more so you can do your own research.

As a non-Trump-supporter who doesn't trust the mainstream media, where do you get your objective facts about politics? Do you just watch CSPAN or something? It seems like you'd miss out on a lot of important news that way.
