This is an interesting issue.

If founder(s) get a liquidity event, are they no longer fully committed to making the business successful? Definitely depends on the person.

Also worth a look is where the company is at success-wise.
It makes more sense for a successful/profitable company (like Groupon) to give founders a liquidity event than a startup trying to get to breakeven.

Sadly, it's three editions and AIMA is still hopeless regarding stochastic optimization (genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, ant colony optimization, hill climbing, and the like), and gradient-based optimization.

It seems they don't want to be bothered about the significant difference between search and optimization. So they stick all the stochastic optimization stuff into a section called "local search and optimization", and place it underneath the Search chapter (it's not search, and almost none of it is local). And then separate out optimization methods like gradient descent etc., placing them under "local search in continuous spaces", as if (1) they were search and (2) stochastic optimization wasn't applied to continuous spaces.

And if this wasn't muddled enough, their recommended books for stochastic optimization aren't under the Search chapter at all -- they've been placed under the Machine Learning chapter. And it's a strange collection.

I'm pretty disappointed with AIMA's seemingly poor understanding of this area. Well, I guess at least it's better than their cursory treatment of multiagent systems.
You can take slightly larger leap, and program the Arduino processor directly, without using the Arduino abstraction. It's the next logical leap, as "industry" doesn't really use the Arduino platform.

with two cameras, he's able to make a better 3d model of the room. if you look at the examples using just one device, it looks more like a popup book - plane cutouts in front of other, occluded planes. still, even with two in this orientation, he can't see the backs of what he's looking at. I wonder what the minimal number and best orientation would be to get a believable 3d map of everything.

Well I haven't read the actual page ranking patent but apply existing math to solve a problem is not innovation.

However your example about ants is very true. Ants should be the patent holders of page ranking. But that also means the patent should have already expired a long time ago.
The problem with that is the user's request may have generated a legitimate error, or it may not be a good test of all the functionally.

If you write your software with a dedicated healthcheck url, it's much more robust because you can test all critical functionality with that helthcheck (just make sure you block access to it from the outside otherwise someone has a really easy way to DDOS you!).
You're thinking of the Hyatt Regency (now Sheraton): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse

It was not as you describe; the original design was absolutely not correct. The original design was additionally so difficult to implement in reality that one of the manufacturers of the structural parts proposed a design change - one that made the flaws of the original twice as bad - that architects approved without any actual review.

I've been there several times, since it's a popular spot for conferences - looking up at the doors to nowhere in the lobby atrium is haunting.

I'm not talking about Soilent itself, but about Soilent like things. The chances that Soilent itself is good are pretty slim as its just some kid experimenting. However, there will come a product eventually that can completely replace food and be healthy, and many will embrace it with open arms because most of the time, fuel is just fuel, not an event. An hour a day is too much, and it isn't depriving us of anything; people will still be able to take pleasure in eating real food when they want to, they just won't be forced to at every meal.

And you're a bit disconnected from reality, no everyone does not have family and friends; you should think really hard about why you think they do and about how insensitive it is to presume that. Tons of people have no family left, and tons of people are friendless either by choice or not.

Agreed. I blew it. I started the conversation by saying "So, YC is a summer program that gives you $20k for about 10% of the company..." From that point on, no matter what else I or the YC alums we talked to said, they seemed fixated on that part of the value proposition, which made other accelerators seem comparable. So they'd say things like "I don't really like Silicon Valley, I'd rather spend the summer in Providence," or "Why should we give 10% of our company to YC if this other accelerator will only take 6%?" or "YC doesn't even provide office space?"

At one point I said: "Look, giving 10% of the company to YC would be worth it even if they gave us $0." That didn't make sense to them—too much of a risk. That was about when it started to dawn on me that we had very different notions of what it means to be a cofounder.
This seems like a really big argument for never allowing your data to be stored by a 3rd party.

Does anyone see any reason why these companies should do anything other than store the data locally on your system, encrypted/obfuscated, and then only ever send once, via encrypted connection, and then immediately delete the info remotely?

I mean, if someone breaks in to my house and steals my PS3, they already have access to all of that information.

He's not saying that the grandparent comment was "dissing the competitor". The grandparent comment suggested that Nintendo and Microsoft could use this opportunity to flaunt their own systems as superior, and the person you replied to was simply stating that Nintendo can't do that without having a lot of confidence in their own networks.
A litmus test for many VC's is the question, "what would happen to your product if you were hit by a bus?"

This article talks a lot about the social aspects of what to do in the office if a co-worker dies. From a startup perspective, important projects can hinge on a single employee. One of the things that this article missed was how important documentation and communication are to avoiding the "hit by a bus" problem.

is necessary to highlight that it doesn't seem like the oil companies have done much to help mitigate the risks for the environment they create.

That's the thing though; there are counter examples where these things did work.

I know what you mean r.e. more work on spill containment, but the problem is that it doesn't happen (on such a scale) all that often, so there is nothing to drive legislators to force companies into developing such tech.
I respectfully disagree. I recently bought an EV certificate from VeriSign and, apart from some paperwork, the only "extended" validation was a two minute phone call from a VeriSign rep. Well worth the EUR 575,- :/
Yes, they do, 90 days before disclosing them
I don't know any tech people or companies who believe that about their services. I know a lot of artists who do.

Unscientific sample, obviously. I'm also not arguing that Zoe should accept what YouTube is offering. Just that YouTube isn't obligated to offer her want she wants.

Tell you what. Want to start a company offering distribution services to artists on the terms they want? Sounds like your kind of thing. I'm sure artists, publishers, labels, and customers will all love it and shower it with money.

Smart people tend to prefer to listen to themselves and trust their gut, works fine in some cases but not when you're early stage. I think listening is a VERY HARD skill to acquire but once you have it things will magically start to make more sense.
A question of $$$. See my above comment about the huge for the time memory size of the TX-2. Even the 7094 that CTSS was build on (inspiring later Multics and then UNIX(TM)) only had 2 banks of memory totaling that size, roughly half for the kernel and half for a single user program at a time.

You couldn't even begin to think about until, say, Intel started mass producing their groundbreaking first DRAM chip, which had a whopping 1024 bits of memory. And, hey, it was only 21 years until Apple shipped the first Macintosh ... with 128 KiB of DRAM and 64 KiB of ROM, 3/4ths of the TX-02's single memory bank....
Other way round: anyone on the left is used to unfair treatment. The app reporting drone strike locations was banned years ago. Apple caused tumblr to self-destruct. Just this time the policy is actually in our favor.

Unlimited incitement to violence is not sustainable. Banning them for this is the start; America is going to have a long uncomfortable process of dealing with its media.

If it worked, why is the same radicalized set of viewpoints seemingly growing in vitality?
A few differences I see:

- BLM was not trying to replace our government with a new one. (aka a protest is not a sedition)

- Many BLM protesters were arrested. Some were charged with crimes. Similarly, any seditionists should be charged. This is probably true whether you agree with the final verdict or not

- Those at the capitol essentially held hundreds of lawmakers hostage, using guns and at least one pipe bomb, while Trump said nothing for approximately 2 hours

> IMHO there are things that are much more scary than some trespassing into government buildings or a riot.

Yes, like trespassing into government buildings for the purpose of preventing a peaceful, lawful democratic transfer of power.

Protest is compatible with democracy. What happened two days ago is not. If you don't like the outcome of an election, you can complain about it, you can be a nuisance about it, you can talk about it. What you can't do, is try to carry out a coup.
I'm not sure how tracking is nebulous. If you want to identify an anonymous counter, or keep depersonalised logs, or IP logs for security, that's fine; it can't identify the user. (Maybe IP logs could)

Essentially you can boil "tracking" to two main sources: when there's data collected without a legitimate purpose for doing so, and when data is collected to the point that could identify a user, but no explicit consent is given.

Take for example a Facebook comment section on a third party site. It'd be fine to click the comments and have a quick prompt for Facebook to interact – the comment is public, so it's known to all. But if the user never comments, Facebook has no right to be aware the user was ever there; that's tracking.

You could make the extended argument that overcorrelation of data for advertising is tracking in a sense, as this would cover intra-site tracking (e.g. a shopping site knowing you're pregnant before you know yourself.) This is a little more nebulous to define, as it's hard to define who it benefits If your phone launcher suggests an app, or Uber suggests a location, that's because it wants to save time. But if a shopping site suggests a product, that's advertising, and should be given explicit consent.
There's one big pie, and these companies slice the majority of it up between them.

Yep. The fed is an engine, whose purpose is to move wealth silently from the masses to the powerful monied few, via time-asymmetric inflation. (Mostly Inflation of assets presently)
The resulting data looks like corporations have used their power to directly disenfranchise/disempower workers, and so the mass clamber for protective laws. More laws will be enacted by those in power. The time is certainly right for it. The laws will be constructed such that they will entrench the existing power structures, and meanwhile the fed will motor on, unaffected. Nothing changes for the good while this engine continues to run. And it will run at ever increasing rates, because it has to, in order to continue to do its work of supercharging the economy from the top down. Get on the train (Ride the coat-tails of the great and powerful as best you can by investing) or be left behind in a wake of generally stagnant wages (stagnant for lots of reasons), and mildly rising prices. Meanwhile housing prices (housing costs to you) and stocks are off on a rocket-ship to the stars.

> The WSL is a revival of the POSIX layer.

Even WSL1 is technically very different from the old POSIX layer. The old POSIX layer used classic NT processes and POSIX APIs were routed in user space to NT syscalls via ntdll. WSL1 uses lightweight picoprocesses and implements the Linux syscall API in-kernel, rather than doing POSIX API to NT syscall mapping in user-space. Windows NT POSIX (and Interix/SFU/SUA) are conceptually much closer to Cygwin than to WSL1.

> "every day kind of ban-worthy confirmed ToS violation on the YouTube account"

But that's the nefarious and the hidden bit, and the biggest complaint is that there is no "motive", because people aren't involved at any stage. Every day bots and algorithms tend to YouTube's ToS violations and don't give enough feedback that explains to a human why they did what they don't, don't seem to be reviewed by a human anywhere in the process, and there seems to exist no real human oversight for appeals or post-mortem reviews. It's all very opaque to people, so yes it is hidden and seems nefarious. It especially seems nefarious that there is no real "motive" just machines eating each other endlessly with seemingly no human oversight. (And then that the YouTube account takedown also takes down most of the communications tools such as GMail along with it only furthers the nefarious and "post-mortem" feelings of such an "every day kind of ban".)

I'd be surprised if places with active geothermal vents would even notice the human induced heating. In that case Iceland seems like an excellent choice. The main problem is when it comes to active fisheries being located near the effluence.
If you're going to do it on the client-side with JavaScript, then you've lost half of the point of redirecting to a mobile site - to reduce the bandwidth and complexity the device has to deal with. You're also not helping out the devices that need the help the most, since a lot of the older non-Android and non-iPhone phones (although I imagine this is becoming less of an issue) don't support JavaScript consistently and have more resource constraints and slower processors.

If you really want to do this, it needs to be done on the server-side, be optional (at least offer a "full site" link, and should ideally just be a different skin on your site (that is, as much functionality should be present as possible). And most importantly, it shouldn't lose context. I shouldn't click on a Google link on my phone and get taken to your main site (which usually doesn't offer half of the functionality of the desktop version).

These days, you can make a desktop and mobile webkit compatible version on the same page largely with smart CSS decisions - most content providers just need to position things without the assumption of large screens and it'll work fine on Android/iPhone.

I think you missed my point, which is if he was uncomfortable with his child watching him play such games, don't let them watch such games. His negative reaction to "AAA" games in general because of that is what I found odd. If he no longer found the games appealing due to that then I suppose that's cool. But there are games in that space that don't fit that style of gameplay.
The argument is that there are plenty of things that are obviously useful (or even needed) which aren't being done today because too many people incorrectly equate "useful" with "profitable" - and so only the profitable things end up being done, while many useful things remain undone.

The fact that your strawman appears so frequently shows that knowledge about the details of a Job Guarantee are not spread widely enough yet.

Well, you tell me. Why would the manually produced, subsequently "adjusted" thermometer data be trumpeted so that everyone is announcing that 2014 was the hottest ever, when the satellite record shows no such thing?

What would you do if your livelihood depended on towing the company line?

I've looked at the data local to me for the stations that are rural and have had no development. The raw data shows no warming. The adjusted data suddenly shows warming.

My view is that it's just odd to emphasize the error-proned data over the more reliable data for dramatic effect. That's not science. And when governments and media just pick it up and run with it, it weirds me out.
