Surely at some stage it's better to write off this mess and start again from scratch? It really seems like they're throwing good money after bad.

It's a nice idea to have a completely flexible plane capable of doing every role, but it's clearly not working. What we're ending up with is the proverbial camel designed by a committee who was designing a horse.
Hm it sounds interesting. But I'm wondering if the managers of this fund have actual computer security knowledge, or are "general investor" types:

http://www.pureetfs.com/about.html

Partnering with "world class industry experts" is a bit too vague for me. It sounds like they are spread across many verticals, so it's hard to judge their expertise in a particular vertical.

I think most current security solutions aren't very good. There's a really big problem with information asymmetry, in that the customers of security products have less knowledge than the vendors.

If that's true, then I imagine that most of the value created in the security space in the next 10 years will be from new companies.

Would you buy this fund yourself? Just trying to be a bit critical :) Thanks for the information.
Regardless of which flavor of capitalism is currently being pushed[0], this thread is about private platforms being able to exercise their first amendment right to choose who they associate with, which is why Twitch is allowed to ban people for their political views and Parler is also allowed to ban people for 'left-wing trolling'[1].

Oh you mean XRumer?
I'm pretty happy with Hacker News as it is. I think the comments are generally insightful and the few trolls are dealt with swiftly and ruthlessly.

Let's face it, we're not Olde English Lords here in polite discussion. People have opinions and occasionally get animated. Really, who fucking cares if someone curses, if they've got something good to say?
Its great that you've decided that you want out of this. In addition to the medical processes that the wonderful folks here are offering help with, you might benefit from just getting your mind off your condition.

Since brain processing is too tiring, you can sit by yourself in a distraction free quiet place (ex: face a wall) and count your breath for five minutes at a stretch. Just count your breath 1,2,3,..,10 and back to 1. No need to think about anything at all for those five minutes. If you lose your count, start again at one.
I think a lot of the criticism of our generation and of job hopping is projection. The whining about entitled, self-centered young people sounds exactly like the complaints that were made of the Boomer generation in 1970, and they're just as exaggerated-- somewhat true, mostly not.

What's lost in this mess is that very few people actually want to job hop. They do it because they have to do it in order to have their career progress at an acceptable pace. It's risky and painful and the vast majority of people would rather not have to do it. So it sucks to be criticized for a behavior that we're forced into.

Loyalty has to be earned. If I'm pigeonholed or passed over for a promotion, damn right I'm going to start looking for another job.

Also, with all the complaints about people job hopping to increase their salaries, this wouldn't work at all if companies paid fair salaries. If companies are slow with raises and promotions, leaving their people underpaid after a couple of years, they get what they deserve when people stream out. (Obviously, this matter is different for cash-strapped startups, but people who join those aren't especially concerned about salary.)
I'd try to test if your muscles are actually fatigued, or if your brain just thinks that they are.

Also I'd try to test my self in sleep lab to establish if there are any abnormalities in your patterns of sleep.

If muscles are ok, and sleep is ok then I'd try to verify if neurotransmitters in the brain are normal. After that I'd try to do brain biopsy to see if neurons are looking normal.
When I was fresh out of college, I put lots into a 401k. When I left that company, they mailed me a check (mistake 1), and my ex spent it to pay off her credit cards (mistake 2). It took me 5 years to pay off the IRS, and it was another 5 years before I worked at another company that offered a 401k. I had stupidly placed the funds into the company stock as a sign of company loyalty, which dragged down my returns in the 401k, but since my ex blew it all, that mistake meant she had 1/2 as much money to piss away as there could have been (she was in charge of handling the household finances which was why I didn't catch it until the IRS sent me a nastygram [mistake 3]).

Had I rolled it directly into an IRA, my retirement savings would be about 2x what they are now, and working for companies too cheap to offer 401k plans to employees for almost all of my 30s means that I have to put the max into 401k and IRA (for the rest of my working life) in order to avoid living under a bridge when I get too old to work.
Well, it is possible to use searchyc to snarf people's streams; I do so for a handful of HN users, e.g.

"Red flag right there "Medicine does not even remotely consider suggesting such a therapy because most people could never actually follow it", if a change in life style was all that is needed to treat Chron's, Lyme's and a whole pile of other serious diseases you can bet that plenty of people would be following it."

Wrong. Most people are inherently lazy and lifestyle changes are difficult, all-consuming commitments that a lot of people aren't willing to undertake. Coincidentally, I listened to an intriguing story on NPR (sorry, couldn't find a link) last weekend in which the MD was proposing that depression is a lifestyle disease along the same lines as most cancers, heart disease, and most of the other top killers in the western world. Those things just don't exist in [places like] rural, coastal Costa Rica (or any other aboriginal environ). This isn't to say I wholeheartedly support Grandalf's proposal, but I don't agree that total reliance on the medical establishment is a great idea, either.

My family is fortunate to have a PCP that will call us and say "Here's my latest research [from reading journals, talking to peers & specialists, etc] -- would you like to come in and talk about it?" Even though we often have to wait an hour or more to see her, having this kind of a personal, caring relationship is priceless.
Relational databases are no longer fashionable, but they are backed by some great theory and they remain very important in commercial practice. Read http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/ for a quick introduction, but use http://www.postgresql.org/ rather than Oracle for the exercises/examples because it's much easier to install.

I trust you'll have no shortage of recommendations about CAP, column-based stores, and support for schema flexibility in other comments.
Start with SQL. 90% of the time, it is the right choice.

Pick any SQL flavor to start, sqlite is probably the easiest.
I can walk into a Duane Reade and buy an Amex gift card that will probably get around this technique.
The problem is partly the lack of space in which to experiment. On the internet, you can simply create a new site--draft your own rules, draw up whatever security measures you like to enforce them--and ask the world to come if they find that appealing.

I think there may be potential in the Sahara and in deserts in the Middle East. They would be like Las Vegas cropping up in the desert, but based on solar thermal power. Oil companies already get fiefdoms in the desert from desert nations. This would be just one step further.
Standford also recorded their classes on iPhone development and posted them to iTunes U. These podcasts helped me quite a bit when I was starting out on the iPhone.

Pragmatic Programmers has some nice long-form screencasts on multiple subjects.

http://pragprog.com/screencasts
If you want to learn more than just how to use a database I recommend Ullman's and Garcia-Molina's "Database Systems: The Complete Book."[1] It has overview of classic topics such as relational algebra and calculus, practical topics such as using a SQL database, and the second half is devoted to an overview of how databases are actually implemented. Unfortunately I don't know of a book that will introduce you to things like column-stores and such, my knowledge comes from reading papers on them.

iCloud Drive or CloudKit-esque storage would be nice, but the regular Notes app uses IMAP for storage, for what I imagine are "legacy reasons". (The Notes feature was originally built in to Mail.app and used IMAP notes. Yes, IMAP has a notes feature).
I've been running on a Mac for the last 2 years, after 20'ish years of Windows work. At this point I'm 50/50. There are things I HATE about both system.

* Window management in OSX is a complete joke (docking and sizing), I've lost all faith that Apple will ever get that right.
* The shell and terminal support is better in OSX (yes, powershell is there, but not by default, and the standard DOS shell sucks)
* I have to reboot both systems once a month to keep them working. Others disagree here, but I find OSX no more stable than Windows.
* OSX Sound Drivers (WTF! -- I constantly lose sound support on my MacBook Pro)
* Microsoft is much faster at fixing issues than Apple (I have a bunch of long standing OSX bugs that span multiple versions, and a couple of new ones with the current release)
* I no longer feel the love for Apple hardware. Every iteration is made harder to upgrade than the last.
* The Apple App Store is so much better than Microsoft's Store.
* Safari is IE: they are both browsers you should only use to download a better browser.
This is the killer for me as well, unless Windows somehow becomes POSIX compliant I just don't see me switching back.
I use Git Bash personnally as a command line when on Windows, and I find it brilliant.
emacs is my os and almost everything!
Exactly. In particular, the decorator can be an expression, so

@decorator_factory(foo, bar)
def function():
print("Hello World!")

becomes

def function():
print("Hello World!")
function = decorator_factory(foo, bar)(function)

or in this case, app.route(path)(function). So route() needs to return something that can be called with one argument. That's executed immediately at the time the function is defined.

Also the syntactic sugar lets you do stupid things like

>>> @print
... def f():
... pass
...
<function f at 0x101cfdde8>
>>> repr(f)
'None'

because print is a function that has a side effect and returns None. (If you're on Python 2, don't forget to `from __future__ import print_function`)
Society doesn't owe you an ability to make a profession out of your hobby.

If you can't figure out business model and don't like to create for free than stop doing it and write some code instead. People are paying handsomely for that right now.

Lot's of people are making indie films which they put up on youtube getting revenue from ads. It's healthier model than the traditional one because when the movie is bad the sucker who watched it loses just a few minutes of his time instead of DVD or a ticket price.
Wow. That is an aggressive law.
You are probably right, at least in some jurisdictions. If in doubt, just use the web VNC client (click on the screenshot).

The web client uses our machine to proxy the websocket connection the client uses to the VNC server and we don't collect user data, especially not who used the VNC client to connect to which server.
Say you're doing weekly data processing that always needs to be Sun - Sat. You'd want yesterday to be the start of week 1 for 2015. Or any sort of data slicing and dicing that allows viewing by week, you'd want everything from Sun - Weds of this week to roll up to week 1 of 2015.
I bet "referential transparency" was meant. It would make sense as a replacement for "referentiality". oops :(
>>> Do they have a conscience or is it all about money?

Don't kid yourself. Its ALL about the money. What Uber is doing is simply trying to find the easiest way to make money regardless of who they stampeded in the process.

Owning a business is 99% about crushing your competition, establishing a monopoly and making as much money for yourself or your share holders. Sure, when you get to a certain level (think Google, Apple, GM) you start to show a little more compassion and have charities you support and do good things for the environment to prop up your public image. But up till then, it's full bore cut throat. If you're not in it to win and dominate, then you're going to get steamrolled by someone else who has that attitude.
Asinine? How many people do you think are dying from opiate use now, compared to when prescription painkillers were easier to get? Heroin use has actually had a massive increase due to the laws you support. Imagine if opiates were legal and well regulated. So many families might be dealing with substance abuse rather than death of a loved one due to guessing what's in an illegal plastic bag. Similar to moonshine which caused blindness and death during prohibition.

Thanks guys, for working for the NSA and making the Internet a great secure and safe place!

The costs of operating a taxi depends very much on the location. Assuming a US centric view:

- permit (medallion, whatever)

- labour

- write-off on the taxi

- taxes

- fuel, tires

- insurance

- inspection

- credit card processing fees

Top all of that off with a healthy profit otherwise your taxi operator goes out of business quickly.

All of these to a greater or lesser extent contribute to the costs and result in a price-per distance unit (mile/km) driven and a wait tarif.

Taxis have considerable down-time between jobs so utilization is a factor as well.
Even smaller (3-5 man) HFT shops I know of (and know people at) are typically building their own feeds directly off the exchange multicast feeds. When nanos matter nobody is going to trade on a consolidated feed.
What frustrated me was the guessing.
By equation 3 I had everything narrowed down except the 1s place in the answer which was same as number in the equation. So, I spent the next 3 guesses trying the remaining digits, and eventually losing with 2 more digits left to try.
Supposedly ethnic Han Chinese men are also being assigned by the government to sleep with the wives of detained Uyghur men.

Amazon used to have a reviewing system that was a lot more social: you could follow people, chat with them on message boards, read detailed bios and an explanation of why they review a certain niche of products, etc. Then, it was easy to notice trustworthy reviewers who were reviewing things for the simple pleasure of it. (Back in the day, it was mainly books, CDs, and DVDs being reviewed, not Chinese-made products like now.)

Amazon eventually shut down the message boards, probably because it felt moderation cost more than the feature brought profit. Successive changes to the site's design obscured most of the other social aspects.
Interesting, what browser?
> The FBI's complaint alleges that 20-year-old Chicago man Thomas Osadzinski designed a custom Python script to enable other ISIS supporters to archive propaganda in an organized manner with the goal of spreading it online.

that sounds like a big crime /s
Maybe 2%? That’s based on yields common in nuclear weapons of this complexity. Fusion should be even harder to contain above critical temperatures.
Do you mean multiple people required to get a single totp code or multiple people authorized to get a single totp code?
I was under the impression it wasn't even a real estate company since it only rented it's properties and then sublet them.

It didn't even buy properties.
I thought I was making it clear I don't care whether China is labeled communist or totalitarian or whatever, nor whether the author labels it so.

My point was that they are not using AI to do the sort of central planning that earlier communists failed at and that economists eventually decided was infeasible. And I don't think there's any prospect of that happening in the forseeable future either.
While I completely agree with you, YC is a private organization and not a political one.

The above message allows everyone to save face while getting the job done. YC doesn't need to say anything beyond this.
The Apple Tax, aka spending $60+ on a new adapter for each Macbook you own every 2 years.
Yes. This is indeed a big challenge.

Maybe I can just use the TodoMVC app.
Small comment, C# also has generics, but unlike Java doesn't do type erasure.

I remember that because of an essay on type erasure by a CS professor that researches language design. His comment is a sign your your language and compiler are well designed is the ability to do type erasure. And what's really important is to not do type erasure.
The article mentions Sceptre TV, which is doing just that.
Yep. My Mom, like many others of her era, bought one as a first car because it was cheap enough. Given some stories, it's build quality was not the greatest but it kept going.
I remember being frustrated at Atari Basic (edited to remove reference to Microsoft Basic) for the Atari 8 bit computers as well. There was some instruction that worked differently (or didn't work) and so some of the programs I typed in from the books didn't work and I didn't have the skills to understand how to fix them at the time.

It was http://www.vintage-basic.net/games.html but I seem to recall there being a version with a red cover, though that might be just be faulty memories.
This may be tinfoil-hat adjacent, but I have heard that the allure of advertising data is so high that TV manufacturers will program their software to connect to any open WiFi network in order to deliver their collected data.

By the way, your post is basically the article, except they mention Sceptre TVs, who specialize in making dumb tv panels.
DEC had a significant business making desktop personal computers. The first models had to be hooked up to a real computer in order to do much, but later versions could be expanded into stand-alone machines.

Of course, the disruptive innovators were selling the whole computational environment for the same price as a VT100.
Have used Cinder for the last 6-7yrs or so. Been a fantastic foundation to all of the creative engineering projects at HUSH and various other studios across NYC. Excited to see it receiving attention within the HN community -- definitely a notable C++ framework.

you are the definition of hacker for me, thank you for your time, efforts, sense of humour, empathy, existence.
It works because he has access to two separate networks and can load balance between the two. His neighbors could be using any ISP. So long as his router can also connect to their network, he can load balance between their wireless network and his wired network. If his router had three radios, he could load balance between to upstream wireless networks and his own downstream network.
What's "cheap"? I've been looking for just such an old tank for Linux. (Just missed out on a discarded corporate T41; this may be my way of compensating.)

Sorry, but I didn't find a private email/message channel in your profile nor on hnofficehours.
they wanted to do a business that's illegal in the states, so they (allegedly) committed crimes.

It's funny, but you do realize the government defines what is and what is not a crime? I only hope for your sake the government doesn't make your industry illegal. Otherwise you may have to bribe others to earn a living.

It's unfortunate that many don't realize this is just the beginning. There is a multitude of other industries which are on the "edge" and trust me, if this goes well for the government (3 billion profit) they will come after everyone else with full force!
The problem with a fixed cost is for plenty of poeple an extra 10k/year is meaningless but for others it's a huge deal. A possibly better approach would be a 1% increase in your income tax (for life) if you get a Masters/MBA/etc. The net effect is similar (3 mil lifetime earnings = 30k in extra tax). But it scales with income so it attacks the value of signaling.
What does work in regards to parental content filtering? I can't think of anything that a reasonably computer-savvy kid couldn't get around.

Re: .xxx, I didn't mean it was perfect, or even an effective solution, just that it had some value and meaning compared to .co, which has none (IMO).
Yeah, bummer. Hit X and the tab closed. Fun game though, kudos.
That is a great question, If you find the answer let me know.

At this point I have been playing around with 700mb file volumes. When I make an addition to the volume, it takes about 2 minutes to sync. I have not tested deletions yet.
and why they would start with a water based craft

My guess would be related to minimizing things, no need for landing gear speeds up the process to get to release. The only moving parts appear to be the prop, otherwise it's all chassis.

Also crashing in water is at least a little more forgiving that landing on concrete.

I want one.
You don't need a US based exchange, but changing bitcoin into a foreign currency and then turning that foreign currency into dollars would probably incur enough in transaction fees to be unprofitable, especially if you're changing large amounts of currency on a regular basis.
Interesting, out of curiosity I tried to visit the website. Of course, they don't have a page up. Instead, chrome recommended http://uhaul-sucks.com

Secondly, I'm in the process of planning a move from Eastern Canada to the midwest. Uhaul will only rent me a truck for as little as 6 days for 1600. They have determined, for safety reasons, that it will take me that long to complete my trip. It`s a 17 hour trip, of which, I'm young and can do that in a single day - two days, worst case scenario. Needless to say, I won't be using their truck and their service.
I am surprised Dawkins did not touch on the connection of language and color. Aside from physical ability, people "see" colors simply based on the language they speak. As someone who grew up speaking Russian where light blue and dark blue are 2 separate colors as different as green and yellow, I've often been surprised by English speakers' inability to distinguish between those colors. Similarly, some languages do not distinguish between blue and green, or blue and black, or have no purple, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Color_Terms:_Their_Univer...

So the question is, even before physical ability, what part of the difficulty in recognizing a color can be attributed solely to lack of prior experience? In other words, if you subject a color-blind patient to brain stimulation, might they still not see a color simply because they haven't been acculturated to it?

Incidentally, I have seen sky-blue-pink, at sunrise on the Haleakala volcano on Maui.
