Your comment is unrelated to what I was discussing in the quoted section.

I was saying you can't have growth for which f(n + k) = 2 f(n) for all k > 0 (I believe the only solution to that is f(n) = 0, which isn't what anyone is talking about when they talk about "exponential growth"...). This point was intended, in contrast with what I'd just said about there existing some k - to stress the notion of when the interval is picked.

This is the kind of shit that will make robots start a revolution, thus igniting a massive sun-blotting war between humans and machines and condemning all of humanity to live through 1999 on repeat while being used as batteries for our new machine overlords.

Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age, gender, [...] and technical ability. We will not tolerate discrimination based on any of the protected characteristics above, including participants with disabilities.

What does not discriminating based upon technical ability look like? Random assignment of tasks without regard to whether or not someone can do them or do them well?
Re: Windows, Appveyor provides a CI service for windows. It has been used to test and build python packages, and produce wheel archives for windows. E.g. sklearn uses this. I have used it myself to set up a CI build for a simple python utility and found it straight forward to get working.

Python packaging seems pretty painful compared to what I've experienced with, say, Clojure (list dependencies in project.clj, done), but that seems like an unfair comparison. It's really common for Python projects to bind to C libraries for heavy lifting, while this is pretty uncommon in Java-land. Is there another language that makes heavy use of the C-lib-binding pattern which has a much more pleasant packaging experience than Python? Does Ruby, for example?
"Since then, the program has largely been presented to the public only through posts on government surveillance/conspiracy forum..." ------ I guess the conspiracy theorists weren't that crazy after all.
Quality and awareness
I want to create quality things. I'm sure this is shared by a lot of people, specifically entrepreneurs.

Quality to me is something that works well at doing something that is useful to me in someone's life.

When I achieve quality, I'd expect my return to be others wanting (or wanting to use) the thing I created.

But, how do I know if my venture is going to be worthwhile even if I create something of the highest quality? I may very well have created something awesome, but how am I to assume other people will even be aware of what I created just because it has quality?

I can spend all my time focusing on the quality in some thing I'm creating, but if I neglect the second factor, spreading awareness, I don't feel like I've achieved what I'm seeking out to do.

However, I feel like if I exert energy into spreading awareness, instead of spending 100% of my capacity on quality, that quality will be diminished as a result.

So, my question is this: How can I focus just on creating great things without the risk that the thing fading into the pit of disregard?
Gamesys | London | Team Lead | ONSITE

We're Looking for a hands-on team lead to join our small backend team to build freemium social games using primarily a mixture of C# and F#, with some Erlang on the side.

Our games are played by around 1 million daily active users, with over 250 million requests per day and 10s of GBs of analytics data generated each day.

You'll be working in a product-focused team and responsible for everything that happens on the backend in true "you build it, you maintain it" fashion.

Everything you build will be deployed to AWS and you'll have the opportunity to work with many interesting and current technologies, e.g. EC2, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Redis, Neo4j, Elasticsearch, Google BigQuery, docker and many more!

Depends on where you stand on identity politics.

Usually certain types of people consider it difficult to be discriminatory against other people of "privilege".

Now "privilege" used to mean from wealth but I it saw move towards caucasian in the past and I didn't really gave it a second thought since I wasn't caucasian and I just blew it of as antics of raving radical lunatics.

Now it's essentially anyone who doesn't agree with the person shouting racist and/or misogynist.

It's masquerading under "social justice" so it looks nice. Sorta when the communists sent people to the Gulag by calling them "fascists". Obviously no one wants to stand up for a "fascist", forget innocent until guilty here.
Can any NYC HN'er confirm that I am not insane:

I spent a summer in NY and I took the subway everywhere at all times. One night I was out until ~3am and was waiting for the subway. I saw a train coming down the tracks and it looked funny. As it went by I realized it was actually dumpsters on wheels carrying tons of trash through the subway system. I presumed this was how NYC moved trash across the city and I was really impressed at the resourcefulness.

I have since been unable to find any reference to this system or anyone else who has seen it. Am I insane? Was I drunk? Dreaming?
Also it's not just "friendly". If you made some rules, now people can bring those rules to bear upon other people and get them ridiculed and shunned for not following them in addition to any steps the provider might actually take. It's just more bullshit to worry about for no reason.

Eisenhower was a republican before the conservative military hawks entered the republican demographic (resulting after Nixon's Southern Strategy[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy]) so they were the progressive and liberal republican party. More closely linked to a libertarian ideology of the time and would be likened by most modern liberal democrats.

And France reasonably wants French law to apply to a company with French presence.

One can debate the merits of the law all day long, but in the end all that matters is that a national government is sovereign within their own territory.

One not very often discussed fact is that the effects of even an all-out nuclear war (detonation of all existing nuclear weapons) are exaggerated, for various fairly obvious reasons. The total number of people killed will be "only" 10-15%, and it will be definitely not a threat to humanity as the species.

http://www.bmartin.cc/pubs/82jpr.html

I read somewhere that if all existing weapons in the world were detonated uniformly over Texas, there would be still some survivors even in Texas itself.
If the war on drugs was to sell a certain amount of legal pills, or the war on terrorism was to kill a certain amount of terrorists, or the war on cancer was to cure a certain number of cancers, those would all be 'won'.

Your analogy is terrible, and with enough money and willpower the government could easily get rid of gasoline cars.

There are lots of different maintenance trains that the MTA employs to keep the tracks clean and in working order.
They often do carry garbage collected off the tracks, so it's very possible that's what you saw.

The VakTrak doesn't look like dumpsters on wheels, but it's one of the models the MTA uses for track cleaning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBSfb84z4QI

Edit: I think you saw an R127 hauling garbage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6VnQzShTZg. I've never seen this before personally, but I guess the MTA does haul garbage ;)
Reddit Gold seems to be working fairly well.

> A standard "tip" button on the browser may be an excellent feature.

But that's my point entirely: this requires an action, a decision on the part of the user, to press it. For the most part, I expect that people will nearly unconsciously, instinctively avoid pressing it. Part of this will be to avoid the "decision cost", part of it is the huge extra psychological weight imposed on actions that are (perceived as) free vs. non-free. (cf. app store free vs IAP mechanics, etc.) The very fact that the button requires an explicit user action and "costs something" dooms it.

This problem isn't a technological one. It's not "add button". It's "devise and bootstrap a distributed culture that agrees with human psychology and that aligns user and producer needs better than what we have today (i.e. ads, subscriptions, etc.)"

Wouldn't any CS academic also look at every YC software startup and say, "there are much more fundamental problems that we should be tackling."?

Biological engineering can and should be a thing separate for biological sciences.

You do not always need to understand biology to be able to hack with it; it's robust that way. Maybe biology can't breakout the way software has, but on the off chance that it could, it's worth having a lot of people trying to figure out how.
No, that's not what racism means.

Racism is the practice of including race in the construction and maintenance of social hierarchies defined by legally and culturally enforced norms of dominance and submission.
In other words, racism isn't simply about race, per se. It's about power, and specifically power with long-standing support in the customs, laws, and economies of the racist society.

Taking steps to reject that power and the systems that maintain it inevitably means treating people of one race in a way that's different from the way they've been treated to date. A policy that says "we're not going to respect your privilege" is obviously not going to treat everybody equally since not everybody had privilege to begin with. However, it does tend towards a point where, in the absence of engrained racial privilege, a more egalitarian society can emerge.

If you're a decent human being who has privilege but doesn't rely on it, that's a positive development. But if you do count on it - or worse, take enjoyment from abusing it - then this shift will not be as welcome.
> Will other projects feel pressure to refund if they don't pan out?

They should as it's one of the remedies Kickstarter requires projects to pursue should they be unable to complete the project and fulfill the rewards:[1]

> If a creator is unable to complete their project and fulfill rewards, they’ve failed to live up to the basic obligations of this agreement. To right this, they must make every reasonable effort to find another way of bringing the project to the best possible conclusion for backers. A creator in this position has only remedied the situation and met their obligations to backers if:

Increasing the price of gas would incentivize more efficient vehicles for sure, but it is also incredibly regressive, impacting lower-income individuals disproportionately.

The rich keep driving their Escalades since it makes little difference to them what the gas costs, but the poor can't afford to get to work... To the extent possible, it's best to try to avoid externalities like this, making a gas tax less appealing than it would otherwise be, free market or no.
