Cost involved really depends upon how you did it and the differences between what you're migrating to/from.

If all database access is compartmentalized and the two datastores are fairly similar then it can be pretty cheap. If you didn't compartmentalize it will be expensive. If their characteristics are different enough then your compartmentalization will probably fall down in some cases and it will probably be expensive, although not as expensive if it weren't compartmentalized.

I have a question. You say that PG was right in rejecting you because your team quarelled and broke up. Do you think the interviewers may have picked up on the tension within the team? Is there anything that may have made PG suspect you are not a good team?

It is possible that you are wrong about all the things you say were a problem with your presentation. It is possible that your presentation was fine, it just that your team was not fine and YC somehow picked up on that.
Netflix used actually allow multiple users per account back in the day, each with their own queue. They removed that feature though, and now our household appears as one person.
A lot of European countries or cities aren't as ethnically diverse as the USA.
A lot of market demand is driven by laziness, so some degree of insightful laziness can pay off.

I could definitely see a use for this with "thin" clients (netbooks and other obsolete hw).
Yeah in fairness I could have worded that more precisely, but that's the idea :)
> From my own personal experience

In the other direction, my personal experience is that a pure math undergraduate helped me to structure assumptions, evidence, and conclusions in a way that I thought was sorely missing in most of my humanities classes. But I doubt either one of our personal anecdotes is all that convincing to a third party.

> More and more, and this thread re-enforces it, I think the STEM vs. humanities argument is veiled misogyny. White boys studying science = good, brown girls studying poetry = bad.

If you're going to jump to this uncharitable a view of my argument, it probably makes sense for us to just stop here.
Ever since xmlhttprequest (and even before that with images) we've been able to do server-side validation without a full page reload.

This "solution" completely ignores the purpose of client-side validation which is to a) reduce load on server-side resources, b) validate faster without the network latency and c) validate more securely and privately by not sending the content to the server.
Again, history is full of counterexamples. Not everyone who is a rich business owner is especially intelligent but, far more typically, there is a huge difference between being unable to critically consider an idea and unwilling to do so. This can actually be worse for highly-accomplished people if they start believing their own PR and don't have people around who are comfortable challenging them.
Well the bubble is official now... hang on everyone!

Apple is a company that cares about earnings. Why would Apple want to get into a business that is known to be at best marginally profitable?

Apple may get into the video business, but making a YouTube killer would be a giant money wasting expedition. Netflix is profitable. If they do anything, it is more likely to be a Netflix killer.
Why should we go for "fairness" when hunting for food? Using our brains isn't fair? Animals won't show any restraint when using their strengths to kill any weaker prey.
Honestly I think you're giving YC too much credit. Sure, they're a great service, but jesus christ, they aren't the promised land.

Half of the YC startups will probably fail. You have users who love your service, so you're already WAY ahead of the game.
That's a load of crap. The best definition I've ever heard for BDD is "TDD done right". This is certainly what "BDD" started out as. The idea is that the language of typical testing frameworks doesn't encourage the right types of tests (i.e. testing behaviour rather than state), and so using a package that has the right vocabulary, you are more likely to do TDD right.

There is no significant difference between BDD and TDD other than that terminology, and most leading BDD proponents in the ruby community will refuse to set it in opposition with TDD. BDD is just a form of TDD, not some separate discipline. Defining BDD without mentioning its relationship to TDD is stupid.
>Combine the technological advancements of South Korea with a pool of 'cheap' North Korean labor and you've got the makings of an economic powerhouse.

China can do that because of in their political system the concept of Human Rights is basically none-existent. The ruling elite can treat some portion of their population as they please and they don't have to answer to anybody.
My apartment got robbed the day after I got a brand new external to back up my MacBook. Guess where it was at time of robbery? Plugged into the laptop. Luckily, I had a second, much crappier-looking external with most of my stuff that the thief didn't take. But I still lost tons of pictures and music. I've been Dropboxing ever since. But would love recommendations on secondary online storage providers in case Dropbox ever whiffs..
I was doing paid IT work when I was 14 (under the table until I was 16), and had a full time progamming job when I was 19 ( also going to school full time). Imagine this lads disappointment when he ends up 40+ in this industry.
Proof that there is no such thing as bad publicity is that parent comment managed to differentiate itself and draw attention to its core content by leveraging, intentional or not, a sub-zero rating.
I briefly worked for a place that had been through cstore and greenplum before buying into Vertica, right before I started. They were simply hungry for analytical performance and had the cash. It was a really great buy for them in performance but also ease of use.
If you search the HN archives you'll see this topic comes up not infrequently. I did that now. In one from three years ago, vibrunazo points out "There's a running joke in the skepticism community, that in the next few years we're gonna have baby mammoths flying around in jetpacks [1]. That's because stories of both mammoth cloning and jetpacks in development keep coming back on the media."

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3997443 for the full comment.

Such a project will be time consuming and expensive. Elephants and mammoths eat a lot and live a long time.

And other than proving that we could do it, what's the long-term goal? Once we have re-bred the mammoth, do we kill them off and try another species?

Edit: One plan is to have them in the Pleistocene Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_Park .
I'm a Ruby developer and 100% of my workflow I spend in the Vagrant with the Ubuntu server and zsh/tmux/vim environment which is virtually the same what you are talking about here. I use my own dotfiles https://github.com/smileart/omg/tree/develop setup (still quite peculiar and raw but can be used as a source of inspiration for your own installation).

I suggest starting with basic operations in the vim without learning all the possible key bindings and plugins and then quite slowly googling or asking someone all your practical questions and emerging issues as they appear (based on the premise that everything is possible and there are always more than one good way of doing things). Like: how to quit, how to delete a line, how to search for something, how to replace/select/move and so on and so forth. It would help you to know just what you need and not to distract yourself with learning excess things.

Then start to explore possibilities and useful plugins for your language and particular case. Good resource for it is: http://vimawesome.com Then you will form your own setup and configuration and since then there is no way back :D

Good luck!
Because they have "rabbit" in the name, everything they're doing is called into question? Ridiculous.

This is because upper management has an imbalance of power, agreed.

But it seems to me that unionisation ultimately gives management additional power - when the management can re-direct employees to the bureaucracy of the union structure - where the union has negotiated protection for their own upper management - rather than manage with them as individuals with individual circumstances.
Yes, If I may: in countries like Africa, dogs are usually on their own (even if they are nominally someone's pet) and quite often get run over on the road. They are left there to rot before someone buries them or throws them over to rot elsewhere without affecting traffic or roadside business. It is undignified for dogs, especially so for humans.
I've used Scilab/Xcos a bit for continuous simulation. I know there is the ANN toolbox but I haven't used it. It's a pretty usable Free "Matlab clone" but I usually only see GNU Octave mentioned. Just tossing it out there, as I said I mostly use it to draw pretty Lorenz attractors ;)

It's a great laptop, I have it for 3 years already and it works perfectly... until the battery died, two weeks ago. Now i'm searching for a replacement and dell's support is awful. They don't take care the responsibility of the computer parts. Instead, they forward you to a 3rd party partner who should provide you them. If I only had Apple care..
You could invoke pipes from any webpage without worrying about cross-domain access.

If you look at some janky JS code[1] I had on my website at the time, you can see what you can do with it.

That would basically source

://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=7CTRtbtL3BGX_AHbjknRlg&amp;_render=json&amp;_callback=load_daily_show

as a static asset in my page, which would load the JS and call load_daily_show(<json>) as a result.

Now, EVERYONE who hits my page is invoking the pipe as a backend API call, with no caching and unfortunately with the entire Y/T cookies intact.

That window might be closing with the current attempts to censor the internet.
Likely because the discussions around them are pretty vapid. Open borders and the dissolution of the nation state are at odds with having any kind of social safety net, preventing violent mobs from taking over, preventing the remaining world powers from taking over, etc.

Ending capitalism hasn’t worked anywhere, ever. What are the logistics of that even if it doesn’t involve violently forcing people to stop trading goods and services directly? Who sets prices, who sets salaries, who decides how ore from mines is used and how electricity is divided?

In all of the posts I’ve seen advocating for those things, none include anything resembling intellectual curiosity. It’s always just a quip in response to the revelation that some people have less than others.
In case someone gets confused searching for it, normally the federal politecnic university at Lausanne is called by its French name, EPFL.

ETH Zürich has better score in international ratings, but the EPFL doesn't lag behind much. It's a really top noch place to learn any technical career.

[Author of blog post here] I'd say it probably varies and depends on a lot of factors - sometimes I have issues with the Play One connecting over AirPlay, but overall it _significantly_ reduces friction compared to all other audio systems I've used.
Thanks for posting that. This is all very disconcerting, to put it mildly...
There are lots of low quality articles discussing this but I have been unable to locate a link to this toolkit. Does anyone know where I could find a copy?
> Out of curiosity, why is viewing nursery footage seen as serious?

As a parent you are your child's guardian, which generally means that it is your responsibility to protect your child.
I would assume most people would try to protect themselves against having their surveillance footage accessed by unauthorized parties and so this parent (the author) is trying to achieve this for their children.

I personally can imagine scenarios where for the purposes of social engineering it is advantageous for a malicious actor to get access to the footage of your child's nursery to, for example, study when your child is generally there or when you pick them up or who picks them up.
The prototypical quantum attack for symmetric crypto is Grover's algorithm [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover%27s_algorithm] which finds "the unique input to a black box function that produces a particular output value". Whereas a classical computer would need to check an average of N/2 values (where N is the size of the domain), Grover's takes O(sqrt(N)).

When you're measuring "bits of security", you say N=2^k, so a classical computer would take O(2^k) and Grover's would take O(sqrt(2^k)) = O(2^(k/2)), or a reduction from k bits of security from a classical adversary to k/2 bits of security from a quantum adversary.

Hence the wisdom that AES-256 is approximately as secure post-quantum as AES-128 is to classical methods.
I didn’t watch that one.

I might have a listen to the cringey one you linked to. I wonder if it was just an off day for him or perhaps he didn’t gel well with the guest.
This line of thinking breaks down since those companies have a much larger pool of workers to draw from, but they are also competing against every other company who is hiring remotely in their country.

In the end, employers are free to make whatever excuse they want to try to pay less, but I will respectfully decline to take a 50% pay cut to produce the same value for them :)

It would be nice to see a country without such institutional tribalism. I still can't get over how much of my college fees went to athletics.
Oh, I feel bad for having expended so much time(5 min) reading this article.

It felt like I was becoming dumber every second, in contrast with the enlightenment feeling Hacker News articles used to provoke.

It could be true that HN is becoming Reddit, filled with conspiracy theorist who don't know what they are talking about.
The analogy works fine. We have the politically motivated FSF on the "meat is murder" side, and on the other hand the Open Source movements belief that open source is simply a more practical way to develop software on the "healthier lifestyle" side.

I wouldn't expect PETA to stop with their off-putting campaigns ("Your Mommy Kill Animals"), it is what they genuinely believe, and for them keeping silent and advocating "a healthier lifestyle" would be so far from their viewpoint that it would practically be a lie, even if it might win them more friends and influence.

Same with RMS. His views are radical, and toning his messages to make them more palatable down would be dishonest to who he is. Let someone else play the moderate and practical.

Of course, moderate and practical people don't dedicate their life to a message, be it "a healthier lifestyle" or "a better way to develop software". The Open Source spokespeople like Michael Tiemann or Tim O'Reilly) tend to get distracted by having a life to live.
I'm sure there's some deep context to that - could you share/link? Claiming that kind of experience juxtaposed with an article like this screams of the importance of us drawing our own conclusions rather than taking either of your words for it.

Somewhat relatedly the compund bow never took off much in western Europe though it survived well into the introduction of firearms in central and east Asia. The reason being that in the former climates the glues used in the bows would break down, whereas in the latter climates the bows would last indefinitely and could be passed down through generations.
As an engineer, I had to think really hard to imagine this world you describe where people have meetings around the other side of the desk. Luckily, I've seen offices in movies.

The back could be closed up assuming you're running everything out the large side holes.
Manufacturers generally do have very detailed spec pages for their products (e.g. http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdet...)

Are you talking about side-by-side comparison pages? I'd imagine that if you only have so many products, having a page like this (http://www.apple.com/mac/whichmacbook/compare.html) is pretty much a no-brainer, but I'm not sure this would work so well when you're a manufacturer with several dozens offerings, dealing with people that care about what type of RAM they're getting, or what particular video card gives the most performance for their specific (limited) budgets.
I need some quick cash, so I'm thinking of taking area restaurant menus and creating a quick iphone web version for each one, then walking in to the restaurant, showing it to a manager, and asking if they want to pay a couple hundred bucks for it. Hopefully a few will buy it and it will lead to more work down the line.
Am I missing something or are the words 'remove background image' not really easy to spot on the Google homepage?
That's the same problem that General Motors has (had?).

Too many sub-brands and models that are almost all the same (lots of badge engineering) and are renamed constantly, nobody knows exactly what's what, and so they go to Toyota or Honda and pick one of the few models that everybody can immediately recognize.
That's why he is here, I would assume.
I'm not sure you want to be the tail trying to wag the dog if your business plan is mobile app development.

Apart from an absolutely tiny fraction of the worlds population phone purchases are not driven on the apps you can buy. Out of that tiny fraction you then have to find the fraction that care about openness vs people who like to press a button and find the app just works.

With the fragmentation of open OS' on phones, app purchasing is going to become chaotic and frustating. Endless choice is not condusive to a good user experience, which is why the version of *nix that everyone (in a non-developer/hacker sense) raves about from a user point of view is the "closed" one (OSX).
This is a video.
Yep, I do prefer to watch films/series/documentaries not being broadcasted live, because I choose what I want to watch instead of watching whatever rubbish is on tv, and with the additional benefit of skipping ads.
I don't think this is true in the general case. Most Solokeys come in a "locked" form-- they will only accept firmware updates that are signed by the manufacturer. You can buy a "hacker" variant that is unlocked (meant for those that want to tinker with the firmware), but if you were to use one of those you're giving up security against someone loading malicious firmware onto your device.

This is probably the right tradeoff for most users. Solokeys has done a great job of providing continuous support for all of their products, and their software stack has been open source since the beginning. That (combined with the low price) makes them my first choice for a hardware security token.
It's funny that literally the sister comment of my comment links to how someone at Apple was driven out of their job for saying this. For your own sake I'd recommend you don't express these opinions at your workplace.

Companies are, for lack of better wording... diverse. Not all of them are biased the same way politically, despite the fact that a few big and prominent ones are. I've never worked in FAANG, but there are plenty of others who haven't "drunk the woke-aid".
