My startup is in the SfunCube solar startup accelerator program[1]. So far, all of the entrepreneurs who have applied to the program are from within the solar industry (i.e. they previously worked at a solar company). Additionally, I organize the SF Cleanweb meetups[2], and we rarely see people from the normal tech companies/startups come to events to learn more about the space.

I don't really blame anyone for not realizing the huge opportunity in solar. It's not a very visible industry and used to be primarily a hardware space. Software has only come to the forefront in the last few years due to soft costs being such a huge problem[3]. If you're looking for an industry that desperately needs software and entrepreneurial talent, I'd highly recommend solar.

I agree that this could be a really effective approach, and I did consider it, particularly because I'm a Christian and I spent more time reading this book than I do reading my Bible :)

Actually, you've just given me an idea; I'm going to put together something like this for hackers and founders. Come to think of it, that's a little of what we're doing at http://hn.21times.org, though the articles are too long for this kind of repetitive reading. Any suggestions?

Interesting how their using the braking power to recharge the battery. I literally just saw a commercial this past weekend from Toyota that pitched the whole "Ideas for Good" where they covered the exact same idea.
Have you looked into Google Sitebricks for templating?
I have been really happy with wave and would like to thank Google for releasing it. I am sure they use it internally, and will keep using it at Google in 2011. Although, they might have something better going on.

Kind of reminds me of Google Answers that they closed down (I think prematurely,) which was in a segment that is and has become highly demanded.
I think that's your cue to write an ebook!
HList? http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HList

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/HList/0.2.3/doc/... checks for element occurencies. Records has HasLabel predicate. You can find more examples like that there.
or not (to be)?
It's not an inconsistency if they see native-borns as of superior worth to immigrants. I find this assessment abhorrent, but it isn't totally inconsistent.
They are treating http as both being an unencrypted protocol and a opportunistic encrypted protocol.

For the uninitiated: There will be about 21 million bitcoins ever. Today almost 14 million have been mined.
This is, of course, good news for many families of current and/future Stanford students. That being said, the upper middle class continues to get screwed in this country. UMC produces most of the GNP, and pays most of the taxes (sorry no carried interest tax loopholes available to those who draw salaries), and then we still have to pay these crazy tuition fees.

The oligarchs, of course, don't care who much college costs be it 0$K, $100K or $200K year. Any at cost basis, it just doesn't make a dent in their wallet.

Down with the oligarchs!
Same, but most of my friends and family use Facebook Messenger instead. I prefer it to WhatsApp to be honest.
Preact is a really great project! I contributed to this myself in a very small way last year to add support for customised built-in elements. I would definitely recommend Preact if you're a fan of React. Synergy is different in a few ways, for example it uses Custom Elements whereas Preact has its own component system just like React. Synergy also separates HTML and JS concerns more clearly, making it a little more like Vue in that respect. Preact and Synergy both share this ability to work "as is" directly from a CDN without any heavy toolchain.
> Our work describes a side-channel attack that targets the Google Titan Security Key’s secure element (the NXP A700X chip) by the observation of its local electromagnetic radiations during ECDSA signatures (the core cryptographic operation of the FIDO U2F protocol). In other words, an attacker can create a clone of a legitimate Google Titan Security Key.

This is a wildly impressive vuln to discover. Cheers to these guys. Holy hell.
Afaik, the messages should be deniable as long as they are not signed, not sure how delta chat handles it though. Regarding deniability I personally would consider it as an anti-feature because the one receiving the message can't prove to the wider world that they received it from a certain person and similarly someone who is falsely accused of posting a certain message can't go and say "show the signatures of the messages or you are lying".

By the way, do you know if the one receiving the messages can force messages that are marked as "disappearing" to be kept?
Money is not how you count if you made it. I made as much as OP at that age (and am now a few years older) and I'm very far from making it. Millions don't go as far as they used to when everyone around you is even richer.
That doesn't mean anyone wanted to include a dedicated Floppy bus anymore.
Thanks so much lasfter! If you have any ideas ever, please let me know, I'm myfirstname at leetresumes dot com. I really appreciate your comments.
Maybe it is affected by the number of people on the internet. Back in my initial internet troll days, you could go on pretty much any forum and know you would be treated fairly even if you were a dickhead.

Now you can start whole blood feuds talking about pineapple on pizza.
I have no idea what this comment is trying to say.

Most brands making performance cars absolutely care that Porsche beats them.

Trying to imply that a brand that's been putting their performance EV through the paces at the Ring doesn't care a competitor just out out a plain better performance car in a similar segment on their first attempt reeks of sour grapes.
Could you provide some sources? Embodied CO2 & energy is certainly a huge problem, but it seems likely to affect solar & wind as well. Could we really build enough solar and wind at today's level of technology (assuming sufficient economic motivation) without also blowing through our CO2 budget?

At this point, it seems likely to me that we are doomed to at least a 1.5°C global temperature rise.
I use the Redirector Firefox extension for that (and only that). WP's desktop view isn't bad (compared to typical cluttered sites), but their mobile view is fantastic.
Side question: How do you make DAGs immutable? Unlike trees where changing a node only requires a path copy of all ancestors, changing a node in a DAG has the potential to affect all other nodes. There are techniques such as using fat nodes[1] but I don't know of anyone using them in the real world.

I was wrong too in thinking that no mainstream pickup has a 3000+ pound payload. It turns out the F150 does (in its maxed out config), so the Cybertruck's 3500 payload isn't necessarily that implausible.
It's the contrast to wars, which is not mentioned, that I find most interesting.
Maybe this is a bit out there as a solution, but you could set up Streama (1) and set up a directory where the videos get loaded in.

Then you can allow your children to access Streama and they can watch without worry.

Unless they’ve changed things, I thought the YouTube Kids app was still algorithm-driven?
I don't think there's anything dishonest about estimating a task discounted for all the random org noise.

It is annoying when your boss balks at your estimates using productivity when everything goes smoothly and there are no interruptions as the benchmark, though.
> is coming

Yeah that was 5 years ago too if you don't remember.

It's an incredibly difficult problem and anyone claiming to have actually solved it in a decentralised way that proof-of-work did is a charlatan.

Given all the money slushing around in cryptocurrency looking for a problem to solve I'd argue it's an intractable issue that needs yet another breakthrough rather than marketing and bubble hype.
Why would those hypothetical newbies need to publish packages? That’s not something you should care about before quite some time when you’re learning a language.

Or is the idea to have a registry full of tutorial packages?
Governments with space programmes will fund lots of research-type projects as well as purchase goods and services they actually use.

But if you'd best pick something you can do for the million or two they might give you like niche software or analysing EO data or space imagery or lightweight materials rather than hope to launch a cubesat constellation or get to Mars.
I've always tried to get rid of it in the native apps I built in favor of the web based login. It's absurdly big in terms of added download size for a login screen and usually used once. Even with the native SDK it's still a jarring experience in most apps and if you pre-cache the screen it's about as instant as the native implementation. And you app starts don't get tracked every time.
The UK definitely does not have “full employment” unless you have a very stretched meaning of the word “full”. Even if you think the level of unemployment is okay, the level of underemployment reveals things are very far from rosy.
I haven't worked through it (yet!), but read parts of and only heard good things about Bob Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters [0]: http://craftinginterpreters.com/

If you like Scheme/Racket, I can also recommend Beautiful Racket [1]. That was quite a dose for my macro-loving brain.

Then I also recommend this "Let's Build A Compiler" series of blogposts [2] that roughly follows Abdulaziz Ghuloum's relatively famous (amongst fellow compiler fans) paper "An Incremental Approach to Compiler Construction" [3]. I've followed that series and paper for the past three months and built a Scheme to x86 compiler in Scheme. That was a lot of fun!

Does anyone know how this law works with Twitter where there's no edit button and no guarantee (or tbh likelihood) that the correction goes as viral as the incorrect statement?
>Christianity regards sex as intimate and reserved solely for marriage; beautiful within that boundary and wrong outside of it.

Christianity regards all forms of sexuality except one to be sinful, and that exception only counts if consecrated by ritual. That's equivalent to considering sex to be sinful by default.
Well that's what you sign up for when you ask people to use your software.
Well you inspired change as well ;-)
Racism and extreme social-darwinistic views are pretty much the core of nazi thought.
Well a great dane and a chihouha are both the same species - dog. But I wouldn't see them getting it on anytime soon. And yes, you can artificially breed a dane/chihouha hybrid (presuming the resulting pup has a Dane mother?)
I question your assumption that if something is done in 1/2 the lines of code then each line of code is twice as complex. You're equivocating on "complex". Each line may be "more complex" in the sense "does more", but not necessarily more complex as in "harder to understand" (and therefore more prone to bugs).

Code in a more productive (i.e. higher level) language is concise because it hides extra complexity you don't need to think about at the time, and is therefore simpler, not more complex (in the second sense).
> start putting in all the 'fluff' like indenting their code

One of the many nice things about Python is that whitespace - specifically, indenting - is significant.
When someone says $300 million dollar company, it doesn't mean a company with $300 million dollars of revenue or profit per year. Generally, it means the valuation (based on any number of measures, ie. acquisition price, last traded price x number of shares outstanding, founders pulling a figure out of thin air, etc.) of the company, so revenue can be anywhere from $0 to $300+ million (generally around single-digit multiples), and profit can even be negative.
My understanding was that, based on DNA analysis of Neanderthal remains, humans couldn't successfully interbreed with Neanderthals because of a chromosome mismatch, in the same way a Mule can't get fancy with another mule. So while a Neanderthal/Homo Sapien baby might exist, it was essentially sterile.

But I'm happy to be told otherwise, that's just my knowledge as at the last update on the subject, which admittedly was a while ago.

Personally I think the 'we all came from Africa' story is a little too neat. I think parallell evolution of Homo Sapiens in separate continents leading to eventual interbreeding is a distinct possibility.
Out of curiosity, is that your referral code (thinyouvere07)?
You could say similar things about digital spreadsheets. They may not be a game changer for software developers, but they have an order of magnitude more users than all general purpose programming languages combined.
But is it worth it if users can simply not use the crypto feature?
No, but govt orders tend to have a section that addresses why they think they have the authority to issue them.
5G Arm with a 4G Phone
That's really regressive. My sister-in-law works for HPE and she instead got a work from home bonus added to her paycheck. Instead of having companies offload their costs to employees like some late-stage capitalist dystopia they should compensate employees for providing the infrastructure themselves.

In some jurisdictions this is actually required, if the company is to expect any level of service or availability from infrastructure on the employer's home. For example, if your personal internet fails you cannot be held liable or at fault by an employer, since they're not paying for that. And if they pay for it, then it's on them to fix it since it's the service they provided (just like it's not an employee's fault if the internet gets cut at the office).
at a higher level, don't all programming languages do some amount of work for you? like fundamentally all programming boils down to manipulating electrons in a circuit board or something, it's just different programming languages from assembly to SQL provide different ranges of abstraction for what they handle vs what the programmer had to handle
I have a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro connected to two displays via USB-C and DisplayPort through a Thunderbolt dock and it seems like it also forces it to discrete graphics. I'm not sure if I've ever seen it use integrated graphics when I'm docked.
If you mean by removing section 230, then wouldn't that just make everything much worse?

When reading up about it, it seems like websites like twitter would have to either completely remove all types of moderation or get strict enough moderation that user comments would be unfeasible to allow.

I don't see how that would accomplish anything but remove the social media sector from USA.

Although I have yet to hear anyone's theory on what it could be replaced with.
PR firm written
Maclaren also lined the engine bay of the 90's F1 road going car with gold. Additionally many of my friends who highly modify their turbo charged cars line the interiors with gold foil (although I can't help but think this is mostly for aesthetics :).
Windows 7 is not a success. It's just a non-failure.

The only reason people use it at all isn't because it's fantastic, but because it's incrementally better than Windows XP without all the garbage Vista foisted on the user.

After having used it for an extended period of time, the only real improvements I've seen are in the explorer shell, which are minor at best, and the theme.
Years ago I used to buy and store wine, but I lost interest in it for this very reason. It is difficult to tell the difference between an inexpensive Cote Du Rhone and a $200 Hermitage, or the differences don't justify the cost (in my mind).

With hand brewed coffee the difference is much more noticeable. If are you in SF, stop at 50/50 on Geary. They spend more effort prepared their coffee than any place I've been. I think you will be surprised by the difference in quality.
Got lucky on yahoo.
Excellent. I also would have accepted

Violence.hs:5:35:
No instance for (Shootable BodyPart) arising from a use of 'shoot'
Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Shootable BodyPart)

In an equation for 'violence': violence user = shoot $ user ^. foot
I am not a conservative, but the first paragraph really turned me off to reading the remainder of this article by asserting that "conservatives and chauvinists" tend to endorse the notion that there is an under-representation of women in management because "they are not capable."

Speaking as a non-conservative, I find the implication that conservatives believe women to be incapable of management offensive. I believe conservatives would say that there is no single and simple answer to the question but that it has do with the differing career and life goals between men and women--the priorities and decisions that men and women use to guide their decision-making. This is how conservatives explain the wage gap, and the same logic would be applied to the management gender gap. As a non-conservative, dismissing their argument about the wage gap (which boils down to, "You're telling me I could pay $0.72 on the dollar for equal skill? Why in the world would I ever hire men?") out of hand is isolating yourself from a genuine criticism. I believe this introductory paragraph attempts to isolate its argument from genuine criticism by similarly dismissing viable counter-arguments as unworthy before it even begins.

I also find the article's juxtaposition of "conservative" alongside "chauvinists" a particularly underhanded and obvious attempt to imply that there is a great deal of overlap between these two groups.

If you actually believe conservatives think this way, you'll never actually convince them of anything because you're speaking at them as if they are children. You're not giving their point of view any legitimacy.
Thank you for this post. This actually resonated with me personally, because I felt like you were describing me in high school. I knew I was smart, I could ace tests easily without studying - and I didnt see the point in trying. And like you have said, I did not know anything about soft skills. No one ever talks about things like this.

I feel like there is a disparity between the curriculum in schools and the skills necessary to be prepared for "the real world" and by-in-large a lot of this knowledge is just assumed. Everything from learning HOW to study (and not just what you need to study to pass tests) to real world "skills" like balancing a budget. But hey, if you've taken the mandatory economics class, you know what bear and bull markets are so you should be set for life. Ah, but I digress.

Anyway, I for one, would love to read this your book. However, I cant see very many teenagers looking in the self-help section to pick up a book that will help them. While I completely agree that teenagers need to be made aware of, what I would call, "life lessons", a self help book might not be the best approach to getting the material out there.
Is it not sufficiently obvious at this point that decentralization is better than centralization?
Would you mind elaborating on the good reasons for MITM your company web traffic? I'm not being facetious, genuinely curious.
Well, just search for "webgl cve", there seem to be quite a few. It exposes 3D drivers to untrusted code, and they can run to millions of lines of code.

You're right, Google Maps is a good example of WebGL use. But it could also just be a regular desktop app. People would download it just fine.
I don't necessarily believe that this address was related to the theft, only pointing out that the expectation of one transaction containing all the stolen bitcoin is not correct. Yes, using different addresses would be less suspicious.
Don't forget IDE family like http://c9.io/

Edit anywhere just with a browser is a win IMHO. Also easy pairing.

Living in Indonesia for two years has changed my perspective quite a bit. One of the big things about American culture I now regard as totally odious is the idea that everyone wants to be like us and therefore if we remake the world in our image we are doing everyone a favor. Most of the world doesn't want to be exactly like us -- they like some things about us and dislike other things, and what we like about ourselves may not bear any relation to that.

Societies are homeostatic, equilibrium-seeking systems. If they weren't they'd fall apart under the sorts of stresses that life places on us wherever we live. Foreigners coming in to believe they are making a difference inevitably solve the wrong problems and likely solve them badly.

Now, my parents took some boarding school students to help build medical clinics (under the direction of "Where there Is No Doctor" author David Werner) in the mountains of Mexico back before I was born. They were providing unskilled labor in an area that really did have a shortage (because most people were working in the farms). The upshot though wasn't that the clinics got built faster (they might not have) but that my father got interested in medicine and changed careers from being a math teacher to being a doctor. I have never heard my parents talk about what a difference the students made, or even so much about whatever difference they made.

But having talked with David about this he told me about some of his failures, about how they had this big anti-folk-medicine campaign that they hoped would reduce infant mortality due to diarrhea but then when the floods came, people wouldn't use their folk medicine anymore and the mortality rates went up instead of down and he said they had to go back and reposition what they were offering as one remedy among many.

Often we forget that the people closest to a problem are the best prepared to solve it, and we forget to trust them on this. It is far too often the case that the do-gooders and the activists who haven't yet learned this lesson, solve the wrong problems, often badly, and make things worse.
They do operate legal entity in the US. At the very least, there were all those funds the Feds seized last year.

The U.S. doesn't necessarily have to enforce its laws overseas to go after Mt. Gox. Japan has its own consumer protection laws, and presumably they have something to say about how Mt. Gox has been operating, too. So filing suit in a Japanese court is also a perfectly legitimate option.

This is absurdly reductionist.
