Three Industries That Are Ripe for Disruption
I suppose going to war with Valve would have been pretty bad PR. Still, Valve was forced to change a bunch of Dota characters' names and visuals so as to not infringe on Blizzard's IP.

Examples: Windrunner changed to "Windranger"; Pudge made to look less like a Warcraft "abomination"-style creature; Skeleton King renamed and remodeled to "Wraith King".

8 Secrets to Credible Startup Financial Projections
I don't know, i have the impression that the application is more about thinking how impressive you and your achievements are so far. And I don't see any benefits in this kind of self congratulatory or self disappointment exercise.

YC always said it was more about the founders than the idea, so applying is nothing like doing a business model canvas or whatever.
That said, I think it is still very worthy to apply if you think you are a YC-type founder. I just do not buy that applying is an exercise worthy for itself.
bdr is async replication and doesn't support sharding
(To be clear, as it sounds like you might have missed this, I was being sarcastic to make a point that the argument that we should avoid "paywall" content is shortsighted and likely inconsistent even in the minds of the people complaining.)
I've been following these posts for a while and it looks to me they've decided to go with Solarflare but haven't really explained why. I would be interested to see a fair comparison between Solarflare & openonload and their competitors such as Dolphin & super sockets, Mellanox & VMA, Chelsio & rdma. Also, if they're looking at pure PPS stats a good FPGA with a built-in hardware TCP/IP stack could be a very powerful filter.

Smart Cities: IoT Innovation in Action
Ideological Turing Test
Believe it or not, I don't use a car (and never have) in the city where I live. You may call me a troglodyte, but I call it “ahead of my time”. I get around without the noise, the exhaust, the waste of space and the gratuitous danger.

software use

as in, problems that occur from actually using the software. As opposed to IP claims which is typically over the source code, not the software itself.

For example, if you write a realtime scheduling component that Toyota ends up using in their vehicle software, and someone dies due to a problem with the realtime scheduling, you do not protect Toyota from the resulting lawsuit.

I don't even know what people do all day on their smartphones. I only use mine when I need to quickly check a fact, e.g. when my train departs or where a building that I've never been to is located. I dislike the touchscreen interface. Gaming on it is horrible, typing is horrible, navigation is passable if the buttons are big enough. Overall, the desktop is vastly superior in every way and when I'm on the road, I prefer looking at my surroundings and sorting out my thoughts because I couldn't do serious computer work anyway.

I don't see a way to do triplets with this notation.
Another issue here is that, in addition to taking a bunch of time to build these presentations, there are piles of other demands on a prof's time. If they're a pure instructor, they have three or four other classes to teach, papers to grade, etc. If they're a researcher, they've got maybe another class or two and a strong obligation to produce world-class research, or else their teaching load will go up...

The other issue is that presentations with shiny graphics probably aren't the best way to teach, either! I can give the best lecture or presentation in the world and still have a room full of students who couldn't reproduce even a tiny bit of it. The reason for the slow pace of lectures is to break up material into small, reproducible bits: we want students to understand the ins-and-outs of the cross-product, rather than just leave it as another wikipedia link to follow when there's time later (ie, never). That said, good course design will have some 'overarching themes' or big examples that are returned to time and time again, filling out more details as students have more depth of knowledge. This is often missing in, eg, intro calculus courses, though there are exceptions.
How would you enforce that? Genuine question. Is there a reliable-enough-to-be-useful way to distinguish between types of API client?
Surely, given the growth of Xiaomi, Hauwai and "Others" in your own links the answer is obvious? Apple is, to a degree, insulated from competition, since you can't buy a cheap equivalent from a competitor that runs the same OS and apps as your current phone.

I'd also question whether every device sold by Samsung and the other "premium" Android developers you mention, could be considered "premium".

Certainly there's a lot of Samsung devices that are aimed further downmarket than some of those from Xiaomi or Huawei (and vice versa). And even within a single manufacturer, you've not presented any evidence to suggest that people haven't shifted from non-premium Samsung to premium Samsung. (You could argue that would inevitably lead to higher profits, but I'm not sure that high profit is synonymous with "premium", so if that's the assumption then it's worth spelling out).

I was wondering the same, and found that there are already available stems on Beatport, where they classify the 4 tracks as: Drum, Bass, Vocals, and Theme. https://pro.beatport.com/stems/about

I suppose DJ equipment manufacturers like Pioneer will step up and add volume controller, and mute and solo buttons for each track on CDJ units. So the fixed number of 4 tracks makes the hardware easier to design.
At least in BMWs case, the stated goal of playing the engine sound recordings is to assist the driver with shifting by reproducing the audio cues that are muted by the cabin's quiet design.

At this point, they could presumably just use FPGAs. There are plenty of dev boards with 10GiB+ interfaces precisely because FPGAs are such a good fit for this kind of processing.

I see. Makes sense. Thank you.
I'm being honest - you took a position and defended it, I read it, and moved on. All in 139 characters.

I literally wouldn't have had time to read a wall of text (which is what 5,000 characters is, it's 850 words, i.e. a dense, full page and a half in a word processor, if 11-point text.)

this is why twitter took off. it makes certain communication possible that just wouldn't be! it lets a celebrity talk to people who wouldn't read even a single page interview by them, for example. sorry if people don't get this.

The signal/noise ratio bothers me too... exacerbated by promoted tweets, unconvincingly implemented 'while you were away' boxes, and similar, diluting the signal even further.

I'm still stupidly holding out hope that one day Twitter will offer to take money to get rid of that stuff.

Your code is still yours. The assets might not, but you can reproduce similar gameplay. Release it without the graphics and have people gather assets somewhere else (or find some free ones as suggested), as done with games like OpenTTD.

It is cool and impressive what you've achieved here, don't let that discourage you. Keep building these things.

Although I know it's not directly comparable, I was at an ST event recently, and the representative said they were making one million STM32 ARM microcontrollers per day.
Amazing work! I put this in full screen, and at times, playing the 'Protect Athena' level, I even forgot it wasn't the real thing. Must have taken you a lot of tuning :)
So he's assuming they are from Google (because they say that they are). Do you have some inside knowledge that these calls are not actually from Google?

Several commenters take your position but at least one strongly does not.
It's kind of funny, more at the end of the day, and in my days off, I really enjoy driving.. even some heavy traffic doesn't phase me... It's when I'm trying to get somewhere by a certain time that it gets stressful...

The past couple years I've taken a 7-10 day road trip across part of the country... It's been very fun and relaxing. I'd much rather drive in a relatively comfortable car enjoying the scenery than flying, but to each their own.

I could very well be feeding a troll here but I found your point, frankly, ludicrous. Cox is itself a valid word [1] with meaning entirely unrelated to the male genitalia. I don't think the library was named after, for instance, a certain English apple but I find the idea of avoiding a library simply because its name happens to be a homophone of a crude word to be absurd; perhaps it is further indicative that one has a tendency to think of others as juvenile?

Are Your Programmers Working Hard, or Are They Lazy?
Maybe it's a generational thing, but I know several people that have never bothered to learn to drive. When I grew up in the UK, passing your driving test was an important rite of passage.

I can understand never owning a car, but never learning to drive feels a bit like never learning to swim.
When/how did Twitter mess up third party clients? I find the official apps/page terrible (hard to follow conversations, embedded ads etc) and I'm very happy with tweetbot as my client.
Right, if you're arrested for spying, hardly seems worth it to throw in a 'lying on visa form' charge as well. Pretty sure you're not going to get another visa if convicted.

Writing unsolicited spec scripts is a standard way to break into television writing. It's a pretty low rung on the ladder because it doesn't take much creativity. The tone and the characters are already established; you're actually doing it wrong if you have them speak or behave in a manner other than what the audience is used to. It sounds like it would be fun but if you want to get hired you have to suppress the urge to be clever.
TaskRabbit is pushing things in the wrong direction because people should work together for institutions, not work for other people as personal servants. That's not how you build an equal society.
TL:DR - mostly listen and give them enough rope to hang themselves.
A bit OT but this stood out:

>A similar idea - which eventually evolved into Oyo Rooms - won him a coveted Thiel Fellowship - a programme sponsored by PayPal co-creator and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel - which pays for 20 teenagers each year to stop studying and try to set up a business instead.

Someone tell me there are safeguards in place, because this just sounds like an award for dropping out. I assume there have to be assurances from the school/college that they can return to their studies later if business doesn't take off?
I have said nowhere that this was about being fair.

Those indexes often ignore things that matters the most. It doesn't matter that it's very easy to start a company in Denmark when I can't get the needed venture capital.

Depends what your standards are. I stayed in a place in Agra with no windows and unusual plumbing, but on the other hand it was $3 per night. Was particularly amusing when people staying in 5 star accommodation nearby came to check out the view from the rooftop restaurant.

Judging from the link, what OYO is doing well is identifying hotels which are in a mid-range price bracket by local standards which can justify that charge on account of service comparable to a Western budget hotel rather than on account of "deluxe" features that push the price up despite elements of the service, power supply or plumbing.
Probably possible with the radar based distance-keeping/collision avoidance assistance things of modern cars as well. "Only" slams the brakes, but in the wrong traffic situation that also can go pretty wrong.

That, or remove said assets and scrub the history.. as another thread mentions there are sites with open game assets that can be used... or simple sketch patterns and generated voice assets can be used in the interim until better assets can be released.
I know, we've shipped about 800 million MIPS CPUs in the last year alone.

But for that time in history, a million processors was a big milestone. You also have to remember that in 1988 MIPS was a three-year old company battling established vendors.
What do you mean nowadays? 20 years ago if you wanted to drive from Poland to Germany, the Policeman would spend no less than 20 minutes interviewing you and everyone in your car about every single detail of your journey. In some cases they would order you out so they could unpack all of your luggage and look around the car for any contraband. Nowadays? Nowadays you get in the car and drive through the border, passing the "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" sign at motorway speeds. For flying - I wave my national issued id at the agent, they don't even bother scanning it. No need to have a passport either. Years before the agent would carefully examine your passport and ask questions like - I see a stamp saying that you visited Russia 5 years ago, why? It really is easier to travel nowadays,but people will keep finding problems and saying how much better it was years ago - it really wasn't.
You're putting down the weight lifters but I would argue that weights is better than cardio. With weights you build your strength, your muscles then consume more even when not exercising. Too much cardio starts burning your muscle giving you the skinny fat look.

Cardio takes a long time, an hour each day for 5 days is 5 hours. Can burn more at the weights. Unless you do sports that need endurance (MMA, boxing, rugby, …) you don’t need cardio. Strength training will increase your cardiovascular fitness above average.
IANAL but if Blizzard is aware of this copyright infringement and do not act on it, the developer can go for an acquiescence defence. If successful, Blizzard surrender their rights in that particular project.

This could potentially have an effect on the value of their IP which can give leverage to potential acquirers/investors.
Unless you were doing 3D graphics, SGI computers of the 1990s were overpriced. At my first startup in 1997 we benchmarked SGI and Suns against PCs of the time, and found white-box PCs offered a clear 3 x price/performance advantage. So we kitted out our test network and datacenter with racks of white-box PCs (literally desktop PCs, not even server hardware).

I still have no idea what the advantage of Sun hardware was supposed to be, except some people were locked in, either by software or some kind of Stockholm syndrome.

Nice. I recognize the feelings/experiences he describes. My grandmother's birthday used to be the weekend we all got together with the extended family. She had 8 kids, who each had three kids, some of whom had their own, etc. so the group was quite a bit larger (80+ including her great-grandkids). She passed 4 years ago at the age of 96 and the get-togethers have stopped. I kind of miss them. It was a great way to experience "the circle of life." Have a few nice "4 generations in one picture"-shots.
Skilled artisanal work is by definition not low paid menial work.

There's nothing wrong with people doing low paid work. Those of us who can't stand it impose our values on others. I worked a lot of manual labor while studying. I worked on mowing crews who spend their lives mowing the same pieces of grass over and over. You'd think they hate it but they were happy to work a low stress, secure job and just do their hobbies in their off time, whether coaching kids or building model railways. Of course that's not everyone but it's wrong to pretend we can walk in everyone's shoes.
"Sharing Economy" is a pretty incomplete term, but to the extend it means anything, it means allowing people to turn otherwise idle or under-utilized assets that exists anyway (cars, spare bedrooms, lesson plans) into productive assets by providing a low-friction market place for them.
Another project (written in Python) apparently created about a year ago includes more links in the source to all the various Apple open source resources that document the KeyChain format:

https://github.com/n0fate/chainbreaker

I would have to dig quite a bit further to determine what is meant by "even the seemingly unextractable ones" in the README and whether or not this Python tool accomplishes the same. (My guess would be yes since it additionally supports decrypting the keychain using the in-memory master key.)

It was interesting to me to see what popped up when searching for the RFC 3217 (Triple-DES and RC2 Key Wrapping) IV:

Can you detail, or point me to a blog post which details this stuff? As someone who is about to invest a lot of time in researching use of influxdb at scale, I'm interested in doc of the performance problems, and even moreso if the performance is troubling in the long term due to the architecture or team. Anything you can point me to will save me a lot of time.
Whoops - yes sorry. I managed to copy/paste the /#/ at the end of the url so I assume HN didn't pick up the dupe.
I'm not a musician of any kind, but I wanted to congratulate the creator of Alda. I believe that (almost) everyone on Hacker News admires and respects those who make interesting projects. We are a community of hackers that are interested in reading about projects like yours. I see you just created your HN account. Congratulations!

I found a few of the comments here a bit critical of Alda, but that's just the way Hacker News works. There is such a large, diverse, intelligent, and involved community on Hacker News that there are always people that have keen insights or have already tried out related ideas resulting in useful, or not so useful, observations. Inside the most critical comments may be the best suggestions.

Keep us posted on the development of Alda; here on HN, everyone is cheering you on.

I learnt just as much working low paid jobs while studying as I did in the study. Working with people you don't like, being punctual and responsible, accepting criticism and even nearly getting fired - all good lessons. Paying people to learn is a recipe for misallocation of resources.
That would be totally amazing. I played with the idea of letting clients run custom code on my servers but that didn't materialize so far due to the amount of work required to safely allow that. Being able to do that easily would certainly make online tools more configurable for power-users - or let an application-economy flourish where users can share small snippets that customizes a service in given ways.

For reference, I run a website analyzing service that crawls websites every week or so and reports errors, mainly broken links. As all the document sources are available at TCP level it would be trivial to extend it with custom error reporting.
Bigger issue is no developer trusts twitter any more. Just like LinkedIn. twitter has been unkind to the developers which helped it make popular. Remember things like lists, hashtags, media embed are all brought to twitter before twitter did so itself. But developers of these innovations were treated badly. And hence no developer wants to develop for twitter platform any more.
