What I would expect to happen is this would result in the need for further executive level training for the relevant managers, which probably happens at some nice country house hotel for a week or so.

Once they have passed this course they will probably get a bonus for completing extra training.
RSS is dead? I didn't know that...and here I thought I used it every day.
I agee. Also, intimidation tactics can work here - e.g. telling them they might go to prison for life bec justice wants to make an example out of them.
Really handy to dial in when you can (long drive on a Friday afternoon) so you don't break the bank on your mobile data. Unlimited free talk minutes... woo!

Oddly, various VC tools I've used with dial in properly map the caller unique pin code to the calling user.
If you read the original DOJ filing, they actually did that. They used :

> anonymity-enhanced virtual currency (AEC), in a practice known as “chain hopping”; and using U.S.-based business accounts to legitimize their banking activity.

Their problem was that they "closed" the money circle by sending it to real bank accounts. That's how they caught their trace. It seems that laundering billions of dollars is not as easy as they thought haha.
Yes definitely, that's the first thing I tried. Those examples on the home page should work and be interactive or hackable URLs.

Don't care about CDN performance in playground mode.
$10B? That's awfully large, and closing the door on a lot of ideas. What if you just want to solve an important problem by selling a product profitably and don't want to grow to enormous size? I guess you look somewhere other than Y Combinator to get started.
This story had nothing to do with Islam/Muslims/Ramadan, but for reasons only known to the author, he has implicated every bit of his story and ordeal to Muslims. This is just amazing.
Same here. Ain't about being paranoic nor feeling relaxed because I have nothing to hide, it is because I live in another country and, even wanting my president to complain nothing will happen, anyways.
Presumably the point of such a request is to set some sort of precedent that would protect the current administration from similar suits?
Any name that ends in "-jee" or "-ji" is a British variant on an Indian Bengali name[0]. Almost anybody who has it (Mukerjee, Banerjee, Chatterjee) is originally from West Bengal, a state in India that borders Bangladesh.

Beyond that's, it's a Hindu name. Almost all Hindu names are specific to a particular caste (the origins of the caste system are simply a precise codification of socioeconomic status, so it's similar to someone being called "a Trump" or "a Kennedy").

Priests can also tell further information from the name, such as the gotra: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotra . In layman's terms, this is a way of identifying one of your earliest known ancestors.

The name even has a Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukherjee

[0] The British changed a lot of names of both people and places when they were in power - ex., they changed "Mumbai" to "Bombay", although people are now starting to use the original name again.
Have you considered using your bot in the cryptocurrency market? There are no high-frequency traders to worry about because the technology has not reached that level yet. Volatility is high so your algos won't be sitting on the sidelines as much.

Would you mind putting an email in your profile? I'd like to contact you privately.
It's a cost-benefit issue. Do you believe DNSSEC is so valuable that it's worth (a) breaking connectivity for a significant number of people and (b) incurring the expense of replacing/upgrading the middleboxes that are breaking connectivity? If so, why?

Ironic if you think of how much Facebook has been criticised this year with regards to its privacy settings and data governance tactics.
Seems more like a list of, "things you should figure out about your prospective employer without actually asking the questions listed here."
Not only that, but they're responsible for the Minidisc's failure. That could have been a really nice format, but they had to slap a bunch of restrictions on it.
That's a nice tip. Thanks!
Anyone not financially self-sustaining, or not very very close to an exit?

The problem I see right now is that we're not necessarily in a tech bubble so much as an unsustainable economic/financial/monetary/inflationary bubble. Most startups these days are very oriented toward frugality, efficiency, lean operating mode till they gain traction and self-sustaining levels of revenue (with a few exceptions like Color perhaps).

The problem is that much of the US economy from whence that self-sustaining revenue is currently being propped up with unsustainable deficit spending and inflationary monetary policy. The alternative is massive deflation, and is why the govt and Fed can't stop yet. But everything is balanced on a knife's edge, and if it collapses Silicon Valley may start feeling like it did in the last tech bubble collapse.

I like to think Startups 2.0 are more resilient to downturns by nature of more realistic and feasible business models and revenue orientation, but I don't know.
I'm not sure how relevant that is. The asian-american percentage is quite small, and is relatively modern. There are a lot few traditional places for asians to go to, as there are for blacks, for example.

It's like saying - what's the segregation level of romanian-americans. Black people, jewish people, hispanics have more traditional places where there are already large concentrations, and where they are more likely to move to, leading to the geographical racial imbalance.
I figure as soon as criminal acts, threats, and outright insurrection get tossed in free speech becomes a tool of oppression instead of liberty.

These folks deny factual reporting and instead follow a guy who told them to go down to the capitol and be heard.

I understand the tech view, I'm coming from a US politics view. Those responsible must be identified and prosecuted. The tools that enabled this insurrection should be dismantled to serve as an example of what happens when conspiracy idiots try to overthrow the US government and will of the people.
Is Twitter also going to ban AOC for inciting and participating in a riot at Capitol Hill in 2018? Because she not only encouraged an occupation of the Capitol then, but she also directly participated in it (https://theintercept.com/2018/11/13/alexandria-ocasio-cortez...). The same group repeated their illegal act multiple times (https://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2019/02/25/kentucky-yo...). Each time, it was cheered on by politicians who still retain their Twitter handles and each time the media did not cover it or condemn the act like they have the recent capitol riot.

Twitter and other big tech companies are clearly using two different standards, based on whether you are a far left progressive or not. And this suspension of Trump makes no sense given that there is no evidence that he incited violence. Asking people to march somewhere is not inciting violence. It simply isn't and everyone repeating the word 'incite' is being disingenuous, especially if they are not consistent and don't apply it to all the BLM riots in 2020.

This move is therefore just a disgusting act of censorship, and it sets a precedent and highlights further the need for alternate platforms to big tech companies based in overwhelmingly left-leaning cities with overwhelmingly left-leaning employee bases.
Just upgraded mine and it says v1.39.4. Suspect you might have a spurious 1 in there.

That will go away once Climate Change reduces the ability of the planet to produce abundant resources needed for the modern way of life. The remaining carrying capacity of the planet will force a move back to subsistence farming and with that comes the inevitable brutal environment.
In the ten years I've had gmail I've deleted probably... 10 emails total. Archiving was one of the core innovations back in 2004 that made gmail be gmail. I don't understand the people who obsess over the criteria by which they delete vs. archive emails. I also don't understand the people who never do either, and have 20k emails in their inbox. The product was clearly designed to be used in a certain way. What compels people to go against the grain so doggedly?
How can I try out seeing what exactly you store of the videos your receive to form an opinion?

Also how can I try out what happens when you get subpoenaed by a government for facial data of specific users or all users?
A friend has the original x1 carbon. 2-3 years had the charging port break, a key fall off and now the fan seems to be broken.
You could look into T-series for something more sturdy. Also T550 has a geforce 940M option.

I'm curious what they do in revenue and it's not listed anywhere. Here's a first stab:

Surveymonkey did $45m in 2009 revenue with 20m monthly uniques which is $2.25 yearly for 1 monthly visitor. Wufoo does about 1.5m in monthly uniques which is about $3.5m/yearly revenue.

On revenue comps, if we assume 5x-10x multiples, the purchase price implies a $3 to $7m/yr.

Based on the $30 plan being most popular, and 10% of users in the most expensive plan, I'm assuming a blended $52/mo or $624/yr per subscriber. With our $3m to $7m revenue range, that implies 5k to 11k paid users. With a 5% conversion from free to paid, that is about 100k to 200k free users. Which implies a 6%-12% visitor to registered user conversion based on their 1.5m visitors/mo. Seems like in the range!

Finally, for returns, PG and Buchheit invested 100k for 10% (mixergy interview), and YC took 7%. So assuming a 20% option pool, and net of the angels, the 3 founder got $22m or about $1.5m/year.
Yes, for slow readers the process is usually:

See words -> subvocalize words -> grok.

For fast readers, it's:

See words -> grok.

The latter is learnable, and is usually a main component of speed reading programs.
Don't look now, but the Chinese agency responsible for building high speed rail has wracked up $271 billion(!) in debt and train speeds have been slowed to 30 MPH[1].

A side note, I picked this up at National Review's "The Corner" blog, which is always entertaining.

See my point above on phone calls.

I understand the 'spirit', but not everyone interprets that 'spirit' the same way, and some companies still have the guts to not ignore people simply because of what's on their resume - photos included.

If I see someone lists attendance at an historically black college, or has a traditionally feminine name, I can already deduce their race or gender without a photo, and I can do whatever discriminating I want to do using that information.

Company policies that throw out applicants because they've attached included any sort of photo at least as damaging (because of the loss to the company of potential talent) than lawsuits over Title VII violations, but it's much harder to quantify that.

It's going to get harder and harder to even guard against this stuff as email clients merge social media information in while reviewing applicants. Oh, unless you just buy and use crappy web-based application software that requires 14 screens that only works in IE6 - then you'll be 100% safe from any chance of getting interested and qualified applicants (and lawsuits too).
I'd guess that their work on Wufoo was taking up all of their time. They solved the payment challenge, except it was a front-end solution for customers, not developers. Might have been a larger market to go after.

I don't know how much Chargify makes, but Rusenko had to build Weebly's payment system and he didn't like doing that. Same story with Djangy. WePay also comes to mind, but I don't recall them seeming frustrated about implementing theirs. I would imagine it's such a difficult problem (or would have been in 2006) that it'd feel like running another full-time startup when they still had the challenge of delivering a good form builder as their main priority.
Jason Fried's comments on the Mint acquisition could be summarized as dissapointment over Mint "selling out". That is, they were on a good trajectory to take out an incumbent institution, and instead of carrying that through, they took a payday and let the incumbent off the hook.

The situation with SurveyMonkey and Wufoo couldn't be more different. Neither is analogous to Intuit. Not by any stretch. Both companies are closer to start-up than they are institution.
Interesting, I have a couple of questions:

- How do model random variables with high variance like occupancy or equipment use? Are you using sensor/monitoring equipment or just trying to model it as best as you can?

- Did you guys use the initial energy model (built by by the design/consultant team) or do you guys build your model from scratch?

- What energy simulation engine do you guys use? I'm just curious if there's any big advantage between the engines for digital twin applications.
What brokerages do currently work with?
This looks awesome! Congrats on the launch.
For a financial product like this, what does your tech stack look like? Do you use off the shelf databases to store account balances for example, or is there specialized tech for that? or does the brokerage handle that?

How do you approach security? I’m guessing a lot of work went into it, but some details would be great for a curious customer like me :)

I was unable to find a tracking solution for Dobsonian mounts. If they exist, awesome. I doubt a home-brew solution though would cost as much as the ones you identified.
I like bitcoin cause the price keeps going up. When that stops I won't like it so much.
Yes. What’s your point?
Sure, but what if that person was never in the country and isn't subject to the country's laws? Imagine the robot is shipped, on, by DHL. DHL drops off the box on the porch and leaves. The robot opens the box itself from the inside.

DHL is already indemnified as a package delivery service.
No, his reasoning probably isn't. But without putting words in his mouth, there is this quasi-religious "thou shalt not talk about cryptography" attitude among programmers like crypto is literally voodoo magic. The appeal to experience is an incredibly frustrating part of this. It's like people are willfully ignorant and forcing those of us who may not be experts but also want to have an intelligent discussion to pretend to be idiots along with them.

Having used clojure for a few things recently, I am interested in picking up a non-jvm lisp. It seems like Racket and Chicken Scheme are both well recommended. Anyone reading this have experience with both / insights as to why I might want to select one vs the other?
Small businesses usually can't afford the army of lawyers and lobbyists necessary to make the regulations that favour their company. Meanwhile their bigger competitors more often do. All in all, more regulation often favour bigger players simply because smaller players aren't able to comply for a variety of reasons, usually due to economics at scale, but also because they simply don't have access to, or can't afford proper legal advice. Being fined out of the blue, and not knowing why, is often a result of this, for example, though you can always argue that not practising due diligence may lead to criminal negligence or other such liabilities. There is a way to fight that, though, and that is with business associations and interest groups.
One thing to keep in mind when moving from sqlite to an "out-of-process" database is that individual query overhead will increase a lot. With sqlite it's usually no problem to do lots of small queries and combine the result, but when you need to account for network latency etc it's a different game. This could be unintended; e.g. your ORM use causes lots of queries that you didn't know or care about with sqlite. You may have to rethink the way you do things in order to keep performance.
I knew a guy who put thousands in baseball cards.

To the best of my knowledge, he's still storing them and working to keep them from getting moldy in his garage. I don't think he's ever had an offer to buy that's been close to what he put in.
TL;DR This is a way for admins to enforce network policies without needing to see the decrypted traffic. You can use this to enforce domain blocklists for DNS over HTTPS: client proves their requested domain is not banned (a few sec) and middlebox verifies (a few millisec)
A good heuristic for life: Whenever you think you can do something or feel something more or better than average, assume you don't.

If for some reason verifying it would actually impact your life, try to find definite proof for it, but otherwise this type of thinking is generally detrimental as you end up with snowflake syndrome and will ignore meaningful statistics or advice as "not applicable to you" when in all likelihood you're just like everyone else.

Politically I lean left, so my take from my view is the articles so far I've read are almost 90s like as they're much more just the facts and less spin. (Of course that's cause it's mostly just a wrapper around reuters and ap news feeds)

It's kind of refreshing.

I usually read news from news, politics, conservative, and socialist, and libertarian subs on reddit to get an idea how ppl think about what's going on from different angles. Usually just read the headlines and the comments. Plus hacker news.

I'm thinking when I just want news this might be a good portal to just get middle of the road news without opinions or spin in an old school layout that doesn't hurt my adhd brain.
See my comment above - the expansion is specifically addressed. If you're going to criticize it, at least read the full whitepaper first.

> But it would need to be very strong lining in order to prevent any leaks between the segments.

The entire point of not requiring vacuum is to avoid having nearly as strict tolerances for leaks.
> I think the most efficient and ethical way to combat privilege is to spend more resources to bring underprivileged people up

In the context of primary education, and I mean this in the most sincere way possible, what if they don't want to? You're ignoring the agency of the students. A lot of children, occasionally my younger self included, see it as their duty to rebel against the educational system. So how can you improve someone's educational attainment against their will?
We're all-in on kubernetes and cri where I work, but Nomad is cool and if we were starting out now we'd certainly take a close look at it. We use other Hashicorp tools, terraform for example, so we're already familiar with HCL (which I don't necessarily prefer over yaml or json for declarative tasks but that's another debate). Most of the simplicity argument comes from the single server/worker binary and ease of deployment on the ops side, which if you use managed k8s like GKE might not mean all that much. If you're going to implement and run your own clusters that's a bigger deal.

Looking at it from the consumer side and comparing like to like I don't feel its a _lot_ simpler. Task groups and pods, tasks and containers, config, networking, storage, it is all different on nomad but not, imo, tremendously simpler. That makes sense given the nature of the problem the systems are addressing. Over the last five years kubernetes has grown horizontally a great deal to encompass more and more enterprise features and use cases, and I feel in general this is a repeating pattern: a thing is created, it works well and becomes popular, more people use it and join the community bringing their own use cases, which drives the addition of features to the thing, which eventually gets complicated enough that people are attracted to a new thing that does largely the same stuff but hasn't had a lot of the new features added yet. Rinse and repeat.

On a somewhat unrelated note: I'm not very attracted to server-side features for tracking and manipulating versions of deployments and their history. I'm a fan of git ops, and what I want out of the server-side runtime is reliable, fast reconciliation of the infrastructure state with the release branch in my repo. If I want to roll back I would much rather revert in git and redeploy. It seems troublesome and error prone to rely on a cli command to force the server side state to a previous iteration that is not in sync with what master in the repo says should be the canonical release version. Interested in others' thoughts, but maybe its a separate topic.
Do you plan on using your face recognition tech with documents as well? I'm currently working in a Brazilian Fintech and we pay a third party for reading document IDs checking if the user face matches, and ensuring the user is really there alive in front of the camera.

The third party service we have now is well below expectations, so we would be glad to try out something new.
> What is the fair value of bitcoin? It will never provide dividends or other types of future cashflows, so that aspect of its fair value is zero. The remaining part is purely speculative in that it is based on what other people will pay for it.

Do Swiss Franks pay dividends or other types of cashflows? If I have 50,000 CHF in a box in my cupboard, what value is it beyond a small amount of fuel to burn? At some point I will hope someone (perhaps someone in Switzerland) will exchange something I want for those pieces of paper.

On the other hand the Swiss Government could decide to make the money almost worthless, practically overnight (India did this with Rupees), by removing the main purpose of having the notes.
> But in emotional value I believe there is still a tiny spot reserved for ICEs

It is indeed tiny. People like to hear car engines rev at a car show or race track. Most of those same people don't want to have anything to do with those same sounds in their daily driver. Car manufacturers spend billions isolating the driver and the passengers from engine noises, vibrations, and in particular smells.
> I bet you would drive less if the gas tax was 500%.

Possibly. But neither the article author nor anybody else is suggesting a 500% sales tax.

Moreover, super high sales tax that significantly reduces consumption directly conflicts with the original goal of taxes: to raise revenue for government services.
87% of Chinese emissions are attributable to domestic consumption.
