However, sports can differ in what they are in need of when it comes to traits and skills, and like you pointed out, many would negligently exclude that intelligence can also be a factor.

Take American Football - the running back and wide receiver position will ask for almost exclusively physical traits. Players like DK Metcalf fits his position so well almost solely based on his physical performance and players in these positions are predominately Black. However, the Quarterback asks less of the physical and more on decision making, and players in these positions are predominately White.

I believe it to be a mixture of both, although physicality and athleticism takes a lion share of what factors are needed to be successful in sports, whereas intelligence is required in selected sports.

As you mentioned, Michael Phelps has an physical anomaly where he has the legs of someone with a height of 5'10 and the torso of someone who is 6'7, which is what propelled him to become to greatest - but to your point, swimming does not ask much for the mental. Maybe reaction time for starts, and strategies for 400im and anything longer than 400m freestyle, but doesn't ask for much compared to other sports out there.
> Bitcoin is over 12 years old. It's not being bootstraped.

That's just your (incorrect) opinion. Bitcoin's price discovery is clearly not done.

Even if you thought it is nothing but a complete scam, well then its true value is zero, and since it hasn't reached that, its price discovery is still going on.
The smoke-belching pickups have been modified. They don't come that way from the factory; diesel today is very clean.

There is a certain subculture of diesel pickup truck owners who alter the engine management computer with aftermarket chips to make it inject a ton of extra fuel, which doesn't burn properly and creates the black clouds of smoke.

I'm a Chinese living in mainland China. My old account was suspended because I told the truth about China Communist Party(CCP) below HK event thread (Qi and his team censored it?). I believe you Americans see the essence of CCP from the NBA/South Park/HK event. CCP controls everything in China and they are evil. Doing business in China is helping the dying CCP. So I'm glad to see that YC pull back 'YC China'. We old hundred names welcome you back to China when CCP is dead. Thanks.

I have been thinking about moving to Fastmail from Gmail for a long time, as I'm worried that someday an algorithm will suddenly decide that my account should be closed, and as you can't get in contact with a human at Google, this is game over.

To others that have changed provider from Gmail, did you enable forwarding to your new E-mail address? I can't decide if it's a good idea to give Google the new address, or you should just cut the ties even though it makes the shift more troublesome.
You can already define a custom type which will allow you to have a nice syntax for multidimensional arrays: `Matrix<1,2,3>`. It solves your issue of nesting brackets, and you can impl arbitrary indexing for it.
The issue I see with the first part is that you've now got tons of feature toggles. You exponentially increase the number of combinations you need to test.
Exactly. I think the term, "people's republic" is connotative of the worst kind of brutal socialist/communist autocracy.
Are all readers expected to grasp the significance of every article in Nature? More pertinent to the reason the article was rejected: shouldn't every scientist have heard of complex numbers and polynomials? It is, after all, part of every secondary school curriculum.
"Plus everyone it seems drive 15 year-old cars that are not maintained"

I had access to a study done in the 90's that basically talked about the condition of cars and relation to income. A lot of low income rural folks have a single vehicle that has not been to over half of its required maintenance visits. It also doesn't help that you can get high temperatures in the summer and really low temps in the winter. The range is pretty incredible for Northern US and Canada.

If nobody came, then talk to somebody; somebody who is willing to pay you. The success of the search for these elusive first paying customers is what makes a startup succeed or fail.

Good point. a closer analogy might be found in that body of knowledge i would call "telecom bullshit"; the arcane private standards that start to happen whenever you get near anything carrier or cell phone type stuff. I'm largely ignorant of it, but there is a library of data there thats certainly "encumbered" and still necessary.

The minutiae of building codes; plumbing and electrical specifically, are such a body of knowledge without a corresponding bible. There's the apprenticeship "how its done," which implies "around here, where we know what the inspectors like"; in many places the inspectors have never seen a copy of the codes they're supposed to be enforcing.

Ok so I go and choose the most distant area, so now everyone is expected to pay to ship goods to me?
Personally, I found all of them to be similar quality-wise (though obviously varying in the tone in which they were written, as they catered to a more and more mature audience) until the final book, which -- and this is a point of view not many of my friends shared -- I found both appropriate and head and shoulders above the others in terms of both depth and character development.
Well, I've never read the 6th and 7th, precisely because I lost interest after reading the 5th, which I found confusing and unengaging. That said, I was relatively older when I read the fifth book, so my tastes may have changed in between.
I'd love to see how different people solve the highly dynamic plus static problem.

This usually boils down to the shopping cart and checkout example... you can always attack the checkout process as it is a unique, dynamic part of the process that no web store wishes to ever be unavailable.

How does one "go static" with web applications that by necessity involve interactions with datastores?
I thought you were probably wrong, if one took into account the area coffee comes from, but it turns out that you're correct:

That's surprising that it's so recent - even distilled alcohol is older than the historical record of coffee consumption.

There is a small benefit when cacheing fairly small font files. And that's only if the sites your user visits have the same fonts as you.

If you're using anything outside of the, say, top 20 most popular fonts - users aren't going to get any benefit from the caching.
Did you read this story about "Disciplined Minds" by any chance?

Tech journalists insisting on calling these "zero-days" (which, to its credit, CNet changed, though Ars and ZDNet are guilty of it) is really kind of irritating.

A zero-day is, by definition, an exploit that the vendor has had zero days to react to. It's not just an unpatched vulnerability with a proof of concept exploit available for it.

Apple has been aware of these issues since October.
It says "a general release date, provided by COMPANY". I don't know what the definition of "general release date" is, but I would assume that's when it's released to the general public. I don't know if releasing to her Bandcamp fans counts or not.

Edit: Another alternative is, does she offer it for sale when releasing just on Bandcamp? If that's available for free only, and doesn't have a "Buy now" option added until it's released on iTunes, then it seems like that would satisfy the "any other distributor is permitted to begin selling, or making commercially available, COMPANY Content in any format" bit (in this case assuming that her site counts as "any other distributor").

Ultimately, speculation about legal contracts by laypeople like us (well, me, but I assume you're not a lawyer either) is probably a pointless exercise.
This is not my little project, it's a re-branding of the good old PLT Scheme by the original team. I just post the news. :O

A automagically simple syncing solution for excel data ala dropbox would be great and a hell of a start. This might even be a nice app for the dropbox api.
>It can be bought by others but this also does not drive it out of business.

If the company is now worth $1 and owns anything of value then it's going to be bought and asset stripped. It may not actually be out of business when it gets run down by short sellers for their own profit but it's effect is going to be pretty much the same - unless there's suddenly a lack of greedy business prospectors :0)

I suspect that the company isn't really going to be able to raise new capital any longer either (or will find it very hard) but don't know enough to confirm that.
Yes, that's true. Thanks
I believe what he means is that opera has been the first to bring in a ton new features which were later copied by other browsers (or still even yet to) such as

tabbed browsing

mouse gestures

tab thumbnails

page zooming

opera turbo

opera unite

Spatial navigation

HTML5 datepicker (currently the only one)

and the list keeps going. These are just some of the major ones.

Don't worry. Even achieving more than the people you are currently jealous of, there will be a whole new group of people to be jealous of. It will never end until you die or understand.

Hope this helps put things in perspective.
No, HL3 should be built by a strong team, led by (and composed of) people who can't imagine doing anything else. Treating it as "crummy stuff" that someone needs to be forced to do will just result in a bad game. We can get bad games from any number of other publishers.
I know people who's krysha was not the FSB, then it became the FSB in the late 90s. Thats the mob I mean - people you pay protection money to in order to do business. The FSB took over and became the universal krysha, imposing an additional tax on businesses.
I wouldn't equate the Israeli security with racial profiling. That's a part of it but it mainly involves asking passengers questions and looking for things that are out of the ordinary.

I got stopped leaving Israel once and it wasn't because of racial profiling. I gave them my family's phone number and they called around and it all got resolved.
Your objections seem to boil down to a superstitious distrust of javascript. The web may be a messy platform, but javascript is not a particularly difficult language to read, and (if I may say so) the relevant chunks of bonchat are written in a pretty plain style.

I'm not making any promises of 100% perfect security with no effort and no room for attacks. Bonchat is merely an experiment in securing content against servers as well as network snoops.

I trust Linux more than Windows. I haven't personally audited all the code on my Linux box, and I don't know any one person who even has the skill to do so. But the code is there to be audited, which gives me more confidence than when I use a opaque operating system. The same applies here. Bonchat isn't perfect, it's just trying to be easier to keep honest than a normal web app.
Doesn’t this seem too basic to have been voted up so much? That is, compared to the rest of the technical posts that are voted up.

And perhaps MemcacheDB (http://memcachedb.org/) is a better bet if you don’t need Redis’s list and set operations. But I don’t understand why the cache needs to be persistent.
Things we know:

* The term html5 has been used loosely to describe the next generation of emerging browser standards for a long time. After this tempest in a teapot, it will continue to be so. Until someone comes up with something better, this is well and good.

* Safari uses vendor prefixes for its introduction of emerging standards, just like, e.g., Firefox. This is good software engineering practice since it allows developers to start testing and using new standards, but won't conflict with finalized standards.

* Apple created a page showing how they are on the forefront of implementing some of these emerging standards. Note that since it was a page about their own browser's implementation of emerging standards, they required the use of their browser for the demos. Random people on the Internet don't get to redefine the purpose of Apple's web page and then wax righteously indignant. If you want to see examples of Apple creating pages that work in all the major browsers, please visit ANY OTHER PAGE ON APPLE'S SITE.
WAP never ever took off. EDGE and 3G took off before the iPhone.
Right, en_DK has almost nothing to do with Denmark, instead it's basically the imaginary Saneland the top poster asked for.

I agree en_EU would make more sense, maybe somebody should submit a patch to glibc and in a decade it'll be safe to switch.
One less thing to worry about. Also, it can ruin the “clean” look some people want.

Synergy is my attempt to create the thinnest possible layer of abstraction over the browsers built-in APIs in order to build UIs with Custom Elements. I wanted to be able to express UIs in simpler terms, and I feel like I've achieved what i was aiming for with this. It won't be suited to everybody's tastes, and that’s fine, but I’m having a lot of fun using it myself at the moment and I'm excited to share this for the first time and welcome any and all constructive feedback.
I’ve been trying to figure out the entire windows networking stack recently, particularly some more obscure parts and the docs have been pretty bad unfortunately. A lot of the higher level stuff fees really superficial and the lower level stuff it’s it own mess (all sorts of broken links and links to outdated versions in the NDIS docs).
Hacker news is a democracy in that the people decide what gets to the top. Just because you do not like the topic does not mean others share your sentiment.
Holla, it is indeed not true. According to the fees section here, they changed it a month ago and added fees on top of the spread:

This can get downvoted to oblivion, but i fell for DLang first time i wrote a hobby raspberry pi gpio library.

It just worked. It compiled without hassle. The language was easy to understand - i first read about a few days prior to writing my lib.

I absolutely think this language should get more attention, and probably it should explore wasm a bit more. I know webdevs love easy to read languages and DLang is an ideal candidate for replacing javascript in the browser via wasm.

All it needs is a nice package manager and a set of basic web libs to use in the browser - not the DOM kind of libs, but for large’ish tables and data manipulation, a bit of audio and video editing and perhaps webgl integration to showcase what it can do.

I misunderstood the idea. So ... it's like loan with your promised-equity as collateral, but you don't have to pay it back if the startup fails (or they have an small exit where you get no money).

If the start-up does not have cash reserves / cash generation to pay salaries, then the promised-equity has a very low value, so I'd expect the fee to be huge.

Let's suppose that they give $100. If we assume that half of the startup fails, if they want to break even you must return $200. If we assume that 90% of the startup fails or the employees don't get money, if they want to break even you must return $1000.
I recently got into building DIY air quality sensors. Any kind of smoke hangs around in a room for many hours well past when you can smell it. My house periodically spikes in air pollutants (still looking for the cause but we are moving soon anyways). The one night when PM2.5 spike from safe levels of below 12 ug/m^3 to over 1000 for one night was the worst sleep everyone in our house got. It seems that it was the equivalent of smoking something like 44 cigarettes in a day. Don’t smoke, especially indoors. It’s a bad time.
I live and work in the US, but originally I'm from Croatia. I wire money every month to my family back there.

It takes 5 work days for the wire to fully clear. Since 5 days is a full work week, it almost always bleeds over to the weekend and in reality takes 7 days.

That doesn't jibe very well with the IPCC's claim that increased CO2 levels will then increase the water vapor - thereby amplifying the global warming effect.
This is horrible. In my opinion, as soon as something can be done well by a machine, it is from then on unworthy of being done by a human being. That type of artificial job creation seems demeaning and somehow akin to some sort of indirect slavery.

Politicians in my country (like everywhere, I imagine) are going on about how job creation is extremely important, and that they are focusing on lowering unemployment. Well, 1) No it isn't, and 2) No, they are not.

1) What's so great about jobs? They are a side effect of the economic model we have, nothing more. What actually matters to us are the things we support by this model. A job can be a great, fulfilling experience, but it is not by virtue of specifically being a job that it is fulfilling, it's because of all the things we actually care about: interesting problems, great coworkers, a purpose in life. We could very well find other ways to support the things we actually care about, and we will have to, once a sufficient amount of jobs are done by machines.

2) All politicians, from left to right, want unemployment. If there were no unemployment, salaries would spiral out of control, which would trigger a massive rise in prices on goods in order to pay those salaries, which triggers more raises in order for employees to afford the goods and so on. In order to prevent this, an unemployment of 5-6% is required, as far as I understand it. Yet somehow, we also have to pretend that those unemployed are not doing society a service, that the cards are not stacked against them, and that we really want them to have a job.
