Those are some impressive facilities. Billions of dollars for a factory and a launch complex for a rocket smaller than the massive one that SpaceX is building in tents at Boca Chica, Texas.

It seems obvious that you have to build the factory before you can build a rocket but Musk has figured out how to get around that.

He did it the old way at Tesla for the Model 3: built out the factory before building the car, his "alien dreadnought" highly automated factory that then went through "production hell" and was 2 weeks away from bankrupting the company.

He then built a giant tent in the parking lot of his factory, and iterated on a factory design, took that design and used it to build giga-Shanghai, producing vehicles of higher quality than his American built ones.

Who knew that a factory design doesn't have to be "big design up front" and can instead be more software style iterative design?
I agree, I had limited knowledge on a few things and was able to get it all sorted with their guides. I think they offered an exchange of credits for tutorials or something. My favorite part of their guides, the drop downs to pick your version. Google can give me results to a simple ubuntu question that is ten years old, they had the option to pick which version you were using to get you the correct guides. Brilliant
Yeah, decompiling the bytecode back into a syntax tree sounds like no fun, if extremely cool.

Thankfully we don't have to use query syntax with LINQ, we can just use the extension methods on IEnumerable, which is what I typically do.
If this works nicely with Linux I'll buy it day one.
How many "common transactions" do people use "money" for?

All "common transactions" use credit (even when you use a debit card). The banks approve transactions quickly, but reconcile those transactions slowly.

It'll be the same for any crypto that takes off but needs to reconcile slowly.

The first one still more readable. The advantage of markdown is that it’s readable both formatted and unformatted.
It also has a lot fewer memory safety CVEs.

Only one way to find out: try it yourself :-)
I imagine the 3DS effect will look very similar to these: http://digital-photography-school.com/9-crazy-cross-eye-3d-p... , since each eye is receiving different images. Except with the 3DS you won't have to cross your eyes.
On the other hand, they ruin the culture of the game; singing, drums, chants, reactions to a goal or a near miss... those are all drowned out. There has to be a compromise that doesn't completely eliminate them but also doesn't ruin the culture of the game.

QSA here. In a nutshell, I'd say don't. PCI compliance is enforced by the card brands and acquirers, so it's not up to you to raise a flag here. Maybe they have compensating controls in place to address those issues (one can be PCI compliant while storing cardholder data in clear-text) and, depending on the line of business, they might have a business justification for storing security codes (unusual, but it can happen). Ultimately, it's not your call. What you might perceive as a violation could very well be a known issue with several compensating controls in place to minimize the risk and, if that's OK with the card brands and/or acquirers, your competitor is doing nothing wrong. Leave it to their QSA to determine their compliance status and to their acquirer to make sure that they're compliant.
So if you were operating 50 accounts to try to influence the debate you'd be posting 50 informative and persuasive comments? I doubt it, that would take way too much time.

If I were an NSA shill I'd just mention something about Snowden harming the US or Snowden being a spy. It's a controversial and dumb argument so it's going to get a decent amount of replies. It also doesn't take much effort. You'd derail the conversation, and informative comments would be drowned out by a bunch of people arguing whether Snowden is a hero or traitor.
"Although I don't miss the stink of the fixer."

Oh, wow! Those words triggered an immediate visceral recall of that very smell from some 25 years ago. I'd forgotten about it, and wouldn't have thought of it until you brought it up.

Oddly, since I associate it with good times and fond memories, I don't find the smell offensive, but the accuracy with which your words triggered its recall is fascinating!
In the Ubuntu "App" Store, a good chunk of the content are simply PDF magazines. There's no other place to purchase them (eg a dedicated book store), so they got rolled into packages programattically and put into their own section of the store.

I imagine something similar could be going on with Blackberry -- wrapping content as an app.
Same.

Also better music, relaxed dress code and light chores in between sets.
I'm a highly paid professional non-tech worker in the bay area so there are some key differences between us.

1) I live in an apartment without electric charging. I've been financially and otherwise ready and willing to buy an electric car (Chevy Bolt in Oasis Blue) for a few years, but haven't been able to buy a house due to being outbid multiple times (mostly by tech workers) and essentially giving up. No RSUs = no house/luxury condo = no practical way to charge the car.

2) I go into work every day, to one of two sites, and one is about 15 miles of freeway driving. So between that and personal use, I'm spending $60 on gas about every 1.5 weeks. Used to be around 40.

3) As a tech worker, you presumably work from home and have more company-paid benefits than most other working professionals. Dry cleaning and health insurance has gone up for me.

4) Do you buy groceries and cook your meals? There has been about a 15-20% increase in my grocery expenses, even the stats say it's <10%.

5) It also sounds like you don't have children and their related expenses (childcare, school supplies, extracurriculars). These have significantly increased.

If the only raised prices you can think of are coffee shops and restaurants and you characterize the increase as "very slight", yes I would say you are in a bubble. Nothing wrong with that; just recognize that most people live a very different lifestyle than you.
Could you describe what constitutes credible evidence? Eye witness testimony is often consider credible evidence of crimes with life/death sentences.

From a scientific standpoint Im not sure what you'd need for something like this. After all up until recently the long standing testimony by pilots about sprites, elfs, ball lightning (atmospheric electrical phenomenon) and the like had
no credible evidence except eye witness.

Further there is a ton, literally 1000s of hours of video and 1000s of images. Most are fake but many (including in the op report) remain unexplained. Its exceedingly unscientific in the face of unexplained evidence to simply say - 'nah nothing is happening there, lets just ignore it and the corroborating evidence and not investigate any further'.

Im not saying I know the answer, Im saying ignoring all the exceedingly large masses of information is ignorant. Exceedingly so when we literally have the evidence you're claiming doesn't exist (video and pictures gallore).
Not exactly an e-reader, but I read my textbooks on a Nexus 7 most of the time. I use Moon+ Reader, and the search and bookmarking features are phenomenal.

When I am on a desktop or notebook computer, I use either Evince or Preview, depending on the platform I am using. I would say Moon+ provides an experience equal to that of Evince, and definitely better than Preview, at least for the purposes of being an ebook reader.

The night time quality of my phone camera is awful. I could record a full moon and you couldn't tell what it was.

> I'm a civilian, but I understand that joining the military means you are legally subject to additional laws and codes which are enforced completely by and within the armed forces.

Nobody here, as far as I can understand, is actually questioning that the UCMJ had jurisdiction so while your understanding there is appreciated, it was never really in question...

The issue is a conflation of legality and morality. Conflating the two, then asserting that civilians may not understand and are unequipped to discuss the two separately, is toxic to discussion and society as a whole. It is an attempt to remove civilians from the discussion, a discussion that they absolutely must be apart of.

As much as some people may wish it, this ain't Starship Troopers.
You have the right to do whatever you want to with your iPhone. Apple is not obligated to make it easy for you to do so, or honor their warranty if you choose to fiddle with it. The law getting involved here would be total overreach, and I say this as someone who’s politically left, a total commie by US standards.
I don't see any mention of the firmware and drivers efforts for this. Firmware and drivers always end up more difficult to deal with than expected.

The Fairphone company was surprised by difficulties upgrading and patching android without support from their BSP vendor, causing many months delays of updates _and_ years shorter support life than they were planning for their earlier models.

I purchased the Purism Librem 13 laptop from their kickstarter, and they had great plans for firmware and drivers, but also great difficulty following through. The trackpad chosen for the first models took much longer than expected to get upstream linux support, and it was never great (it turned out to be impossible to reliably detect their variant automatically). They finally hired someone with sufficient skill to do the coreboot port _months_ after initial units were delivered, and delivered polished coreboot firmware for their initial laptops _years_ after they started the kickstarter.

So, why should we have confidence in the firmware and drivers that Framework will deliver :)
As others have mentioned Reader-Mode in Firefox bypasses this, but Dark-Reader extension (atleast on Firefox) brings back the legibility too.

This style habit (along with grey text on white/light-grey) is downright hostile to end-users and needs to stop.
A ton of big asset trades get initiated and agreed upon via bb chat. But if you’re just trading equities on an exchange, this is probably of no real value to you.
Also as far as price goes, you're positioned cheaper than and Ariel Atom and a t-rex although it is smaller so that is expected. But I think it's a good price target for people who might cross shop those toys.
<3 thank you!

Recently, we’ve been super excited about exploring the idea of GraphQL as almost an intermediate step in the API lifecycle. This helps bring certain benefits of GraphQL to other domains - esp non internally owned frontend app scenarios.

Most important thing is to be guided by real users though as we explore these ideas though, and REST to GraphQL interop was something people really wanted!

Here’s the spec: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/blob/master/rfcs/re...
I.e. zero-unknown bugs?
Thanks @rekoros!

I'm one of the makers, happy to answer questions!
For some more context I would like to share a precedent specifically in India and Delhi that could be relevant to this case as well, "Rameshwari Photocopy Service shop copyright case":

Lol, what? DO was basically a page for page copy of linode's site and product offering in 2011-2013.
> "This leads to widespread failures in the car, typically putting it into limp mode and disabling many features controlled via the touchscreen."

eMMC failure does not put the car in "limp mode". It does disable the touchscreen, making things like the air conditioning controls and backup camera unavailable (in older software versions).

"Limp mode" is when you have severe power restrictions due to very low battery charge, or some other major powertrain fault in an EV. Sometimes called "turtle mode" because a turtle icon will appear on the instrument cluster.
tropical gobies are unique animals and even more weird that you could think. If I'm not wrong is the only vertebrate able to change its sex several times (acting as a functional member of the opposite sex).

Some fishes can change its sex once, but a few gobies go further than sequential hermaphroditism and just can do it at will at the beginning of the mating season. (Down under strikes again, of course).

Maybe transgender people should adopt them as a symbol, they are pretty 'rainbowesque' also.
Only explicit collusion would be new there. The big tech companies have been strangling any particularly strong looking startup in the cradle through acquisition for years now.
Which they didn't allow until recently. And of course a system like this would almost certainly be tied into the airplane's avionics and communications systems, and possibly also its power system. It really does have to be tested more than one might expect.
The guy's framework existed before he joined Angular, he announced that they were merging, and then he changed his mind. Your analogy doesn't quite fit.

I'm skeptical of several things, but so far trusting that team has gone well for me.
Thanks! Is there anything we can improve/add?
We were searching the internet for companies who attended the YC interviews before, but we could not find any organized list. so we built this over the new year weekend. Would love to get your feedback to improve it and make it more useful.

It would be great, if you can spread the word to YC Interviewees.

Let us know what you think
I think JSX can be used by doing nothing more than including the JSX transformer via a script tag.
Thats a pretty fundamental confusion, but it's forgivable due to bad naming.

An address isn't a destination in Bitcoin, it functions more like the serial number of a bill (though the system is able to handle duplication). It would be better thought of as an invoice number.

You don't expect to reuse a different invoice number of separate payments.
I haven't read about Spanner, but wouldn't it be possible for their clock to measure time based on an epoch, instead of using the system based on physical factors (the rotation of the earth around its axis and around the sun) that we use?
I met a really interesting Lyft driver who drives 2 hours to San Francisco every weekend to drive 3 days of 12 hour shifts and then returns to her hometown to be a stay-at-home mom for the rest of the week days. Her husband also drives for Lyft part time and according to her, together they're making $100k more per year than they used to be and for the first time not living paycheck to paycheck anymore. It's inspiring stuff, but at the same time you have to consider that these people get no benefits, even if they were to drive full time, and have to front the costs of insurance, gas, and hotels in San Francisco to do what they're doing (because Uber etc. don't have enough volume in their small town). Providing people the opportunity to change their own lives like this just by working hard on their own schedule is huge, but also sounds like an opportunity for another startup (freebie!) to figure out how you provide these people with all the same benefits that they still need and make that as easy and affordable as it was when a company was providing it.
Is there a full list of the companies participating in demo day?
A more specific email appears to have been sent to affected users. It seems to imply that malicious code was inserted into the login page, but doesn't provide any further details to the extent of the compromise.

Funny how they apparently did go with reusability at the end ;).
They had a contractual agreement w/ MCS Holdings which almost certainly said they wouldn't do something like this. Since they did, CNNIC can say "they promised they wouldn't" and absolve themselves of responsibility.

Of course, MCS Holdings can then just change their name or create a new company or whatever, get a new agreement (with CNNIC or another Root CA) and continue on.
Could, but would? At least ban the ones that are proven to be untrustworthy. Otherwise the entire concept of a trust store is a joke and a racket to print money (certificates)
Yes, please don't think I'm saying that I think protocols that start off as plain text then upgrade are a good design - I don't. All I mean there is that I've written the code required to fingerprint the implementation those use too, by performing the plain text negotiation before each probe.
If these biotech and hard-science startups fail, backed by the best startup accelerator on earth, then the effect will be a hard-science investment winter. So there is more at stake than you let on.
My goodness, what are they teaching in schools these days?

Commercial speech is protected under the 1st Amendment. It can be restricted if it passes the Central Hudson test:

1. The speech regulated is fraudulent, misleading, or proposes an illegal transaction; or
All of the following elements are present:
a. The government's interest in regulating the speech is substantial;
b. The restriction directly advances the government interest; and
c. The restriction is no more extensive than necessary to advance the government interest.

Since the early days of our country, there has been a distinction between expressive organizations (like the New York Times -- a company that primarily engages in activities protected by the 1st Amendment -- publishing an article on how Bob's Chicken will make you sick) and commercial speech (Bill's Chicken, a competitor, publishing an article on how Bob's Chicken will make you sick.)

Both Bill's Chicken and the New York Times have freedom of speech. But commercial speech can be restricted if it's fraudulent or misleading, whereas expressive organizations are given far more leeway. That seems fairly common sense to me.
That's a good idea too but unless you have a twin brother working at the same office I don't see how it is going to be easy.
I don't think that's remotely true. People tend to use ORMs for much more superficial reasons like not wanting to manually build SQL query strings (which is valid, as this is error prone, but I still maintain that it's superficial) or because the environment provides them. I've seen many apps that are extremely well suited for a relational database but function terribly because the ORM doesn't let them get at an actual relational model.
I think the consensus is that as long as your data fits on a single (affordable) machine, 'big data' tools are probably not the best solution.
Must be fun to be your co-worker. Work is the #1 place to socialize, you don't go to a club and start talking to random people.
The UI is usually quite snappy, but will get held up if your code takes a long time to run. Just like any other frontend framework.
Client environments have tokenized access to source control, which is private. Builds are pegged to specific commit hashes and triggered via an entirely separate authenticated portal, so there is no chance that someone pushes malicious code and it automatically gets built.

There is a certain mutual degree of trust with the environments we are operating in. We do not worry about the customer gaining access to our source code. Much like the customer doesnt worry too much about the mountains of their PII we are churning through on a regular basis.
Wages rose faster in America back when we had stronger unions. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us... And rich executives were taking a smaller fraction of the profit for themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_Sta...
I mean, this seems to completely miss my point. Good servers make much, much more than minimum wage.
every word in your comment is wrong, somehow. your views seem rooted very strongly in the idea that "private enterprise can do anything well" and that is an opinion which does not agree with any of the experiences of my entire life.

businesses know how to give profit to shareholders and owners, and they do not know how to do simple things like keeping different departments each from doing work which invalidates the work of the other department.

I mean have you ever worked for a business? they are all giant messes masquerading as organized entities.

it is laughable to think that a business could be better at most things that the government now does.
They cover full-time employees and contractors of Alphabet.
The best are promoted into other positions like detective and get to work on bigger cases. Otherwise depending on how long you have been employed you will get more than someone just starting because experience is valuable.

Imagine no union. Pressure from the mayor or council or the media or a connected criminal will get you fired possibility thrown in jail.
However, the whole point of object encapsulation is to provide that independence, right?

I think the issue is how that independence of interface is maintained. In the relational model, the question is one of transparency in internals and set (or more properly bag) operations, while in objects it is defined interfaces and encapsulation.

It seems to me that's the problem, but you can bridge them by creating stable, defined interfaces (updateable views for example).

As some others have said, I feel there is a need for a place to discuss India-specific issues. However, those issues will be irrelevant to most members of HN, so out of respect for the Signal-to-Noise ratio here, I don't post such threads.

In the past I've actually toyed with the idea of creating a website for Indian coders, but other projects got in the way.

However, I'm uncomfortable with the name chosen for this website (HNI), and won't be joining it unless it gets a new name.
Ken Burns's Frank Lloyd Wright documentary is one of my favorites. The guy went through so many ups and downs in his career and created some of his most amazing works well and age when most would have retired. Leaves you feeling like it's never too late to accomplish something amazing if you stick to your convictions.

I like the notion but do you actually think that it makes no difference whether you are in Italy, France, Germany, Finland, Poland, or the UK?
You can easily remap it to another modifier key on OSX in the system preferences. Other OSes/Windowing systems typically require a modified keyboard layout, but you might be able to find software to do it easily.

Worth noting that none of these are "feel-good" american movies. They're "kick you in the balls and get you busy living" movies. I much prefer those to simple feel-good movies. If you want feel-good, just go watch some reruns of Friends (I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing; I do it quite often; but those are not the best inspirational movies by a long shot).
when did they start doing this? Was it in the initial days too?
Google is currently working on something called "False Start" to reduce the number of roundtrips for an SSL connection to reduce latency. I believe there is already code in Chrome for this.
ActiveRecord has done it about as well as I've seen, by just bailing to strings when it got hard. Worse is better wins again.
I agree. I paid an ETF months ago before tmo announced the deal where they would pay, so I called them and asked if they would honor it. Turns out they wouldn't go back that far, but gave me a $50 credit for calling.
