He is says that most "Angel" investors have zero liquidity in their investments.

> Because there is ZERO liquidity for any of those investments. None. Zero. Zip.
My initial reaction is that I like the old one better for now, on my desktop, in a static sense.

But the new one is nice, and the functionality behind it from scaling to leading the users through task-flows just makes too much sense.

And like the shift on iOS, I probably won't like the aesthetics of the old design compared to the new in a few days anyway.

Voxy - https://voxy.com - New York, NY - Senior Full Stack Python/Django Engineer - Full Time

Voxy is changing peoples lives for the better every single day. That’s not an overstatement, it’s the truth. Learning a new language is the single hardest things that you can ask an adult to do. We make it happen. Every. Single. Day.

Voxy provides a cloud-based English language learning platform that’s based on 20 years of cutting edge scientific research into language learning. It’s proven effective, in the lab and in the wild. It’s a tough problem, but that’s okay, we like tough problems and you should too.

You're the type of engineer engineer that wants to join a growing start-up as we tackle the old-school entrenched players in a $60B/year industry that hasn’t seen any real innovation in decades. You're looking for a kick-ass culture, paying customers and top-tier investors; we have that.

These things are important to us, and they should be important to you too:

- Engineers. Real engineers. That means you problem solve first and write code second.

- We’re about the right tool for the job. At the moment that’s Python, Backbone, MongoDB and PostgreSQL. In the future, maybe something else.

- We build our mobile solutions as native apps.

- We pair-program and follow Agile. Unless it’s not working, in which case we don’t.

- Thirst for learning. What we’re working on today may be something different tomorrow, and as a company we support that.

- Respect. We love new ideas and discussion, and while we don’t always agree with each other our strong opinions are loosely held.

Competitive salary, stock, medical, dental, vision, etc. Yep, we’ve got that, plus a whole host of other benefits like CitiBike memberships, gym reimbursements, snacks, beer (to offset the gym memberships), unlimited vacation, free Mandarin/Spanish/French lessons, and a bunch of other stuff. HQed in NoHo, with offices in São Paulo, we are situated amidst multiple train lines, restaurants, coffee shops, bike stores, bars, gyms, fashion, galleries and general NY excellence.

You are currently eligible to work in the US.

If you’ve got at least 3 years of real world engineering experience, even if you don’t currently use our stack, let’s talk.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We really do, you should come and check it out for yourself. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Agreed, I didn't feel there was a lot of meat here. We know Google collects more data, and they have more staff working on search than Microsoft does. Their algorithms are better, sure.

That being said, I tend to use Bing, and just go to Google when Bing fails me. It's not that often. The only major weakness Bing seems to have is searching Google websites, and I doubt that's completely unintentional.

I agree--there's something--I don't know, "disposable" or "fadish" or "bland" about the feel of the new one. It seems to have lost personality.
Do you actually want to be hired? If not, this probably belongs in the freelancing thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10152810
Probably queries that have a lot of brute-force comparisons involving full table scans. "select foo from bar where baz > 30" with no index, for example.

(Source: I've done a fair bit of experimentation in GPU queries in the domain of CSS selector matching.)

Open-Source Contributor's Guide to Using Git
No offense to the writer as he seems to be quite an accomplished guy but this seems to be a list that for lack of better wording a 5 year old can come up with.

Google had a head start: that's true but eventually there will be diminishing returns on it as the company matures. Also since the field of search engines have advanced by quite a bit since Google first came to be and allot because of it other companies can reap the rewards of that work.

Google has a bigger set of data: Again something that kinda combines point 1 with the fact that they have a larger market share while this is probably one of the most relevant points of the article this advantage again eventually will hit diminishing returns. The amount of data point's isn't the only thing that is important, at some point there won't be much difference in the data you can mine from fact that 10000000 users between the age of 12 and 16 searched for Justin Biber vs just that 1000000 users searched the same. Having larger dataset also presents a challenge on it's own since it might be more costly and difficult to analyze while not getting much additional insight than you would from a smaller dataset as many of your datapoints might be identical or reaching entropy.

Google can attract better talent: Again something i highly doubt so considering the amount of world class scientists and engineers working for Microsoft. Microsoft also is the 4th largest spender in R&D in the world it spends as much as Intel so not only can they attract talent but they seem to be also spending much more on research.

Google invested more resource: Maybe maybe not, but MSFT spends more on Research than Google does this can eventually cause Bing to be competitive on a technical level (and i don't have any way to effectively measure it) than Google. Google also spends allot of resources on other things than it's search engine, it would be actually quite interesting to see how much of it's R&D spending relates to it's search engine/s vs other products.

Company focus: Considering where Google has been going for the past few years i really don't think that's true anymore, sure the search engine is and always be an integral part of the company but I don't know if you can say that it's their main focus.

What makes this list nothing but fud is the fact that those points are so generic that you can replace Google and Bing with any 2 companies competing for the same market and they'll fit exactly the same and sound just as logical and thought through.
For example replace Google with Nokia and Bing with Apple and search engine with Phone and you could've published that same article when apple released their 1st iphone and i would read just the same and would seem perfectly viable but we all know how that turned out.
> Where was that number pulled off?

It's closer to $96-100K/year actually. In a lot of cases, its economically rational for one spouse to stay home and take care of the house when that much value is provided versus a traditional job.

Why do we need another paradigm? Stop designing websites to be identical.
Credible sources http://www.nagaiah.com
It's pointless to argue, but here's another anecdote for the files...

One day, out of the blue, I had a vivid daydream. James Brown lay dead on the floor and three Gospel singers were wailing over him in the old way, mourning and crying out. That was December 24th, 2006, and I can be so certain because the next day was the day James Brown died.

It so happens that I am a huge James Brown fan. It would have been very hard for me to deal with his passing but some grace granted me a tiny kindness and eased my sorrow.

Now, these are incontrovertible facts, however subjective, and admitting such doesn't mean we must now believe in astrology or anything like that. But how could you expect to reproduce something like this in a lab? Nevertheless an attitude that dismisses such extremely common incidents seems to me to be unscientific.

I'm really glad they have finally left the serif font behind. No matter how much I read about the benefits of serifs, I can't fight the immediate association: serif = old, sans-serif = modern.
It's design. It'll change even when it doesn't need to, almost by definition.

When you think about it, the whole notion of Entrepreneurs having a "gene for risk" is some serious Social Darwinist bullshit.
What is the failure mode of a Nest these days? i.e. if it crashes or otherwise has a failure what mode does it default to? This isn't a purely theoretical concern as I know someone who had an older Nest fail and they said it defaulted to just being off. I'm sure this is a rare event (and could theoretically happen with any thermostat or the furnace itself of course) but living in the Northeast and traveling a lot I hesitate to introduce anything into my furnace control system that could increase the potential probability of failure.
I have a nest and like it, but the issue that I hope they have fixed is the inability to calibrate the temperature against a secondary thermometer. This is a major issue as the device is designed to work with a large span of voltages that cause significantly different internal heat dissipation. On a friend's older 35v system, the nest read around 26°C when the room was in fact closer to 22.
Interesting. Can I also sell access to my blog? Or do I have to write my blog in a different format first?

That's great, but as someone who writes a whole bunch of PoC code and demonstrator articles, this is literally the thing I've been waiting all these years for. I don't need "tooling" beyond a good editor with dynamic extensions, which this is: it's just Adobe's "Brackets" code editor, made to run in the browser, with an automatic live server so I can immediately see what's happening instead of having a text editor, terminal, and browser open. I'm a professional web dev, and the _fewer_ tools I need to do what I love, the more I'm going to stick with whoever can offer me that.

It won't let me write node.js style code right now, but then they just completely rewrote this from a pretty simple jsbin-alike (single file, live preview, friendly error reporting, that was it) to a full blown Brackets with an in browser POSIX file system that automatically syncs on file changes. It's both insane and beautiful, and I'm already finding myself firing it up instead of jsbin or jsfiddle or codepen, and having far more fun because I have a full editor under my finger tips.

Reading through http://blog.humphd.org/thimble-and-bramble, which explains the whole thing in a level of detail that doesn't belong on the front page, is fascinating, and might make you acknowledge that there's definitely a place for this kind of thing on the web, and that there are plenty of people who would have loved to have something like this from day one.

I mean, come on: if this is their MVP launch, imagine what this thing can do in a few months or even a year.

Encounters with HCI Pioneers
Hmm, I don't really understand this. How is this used on real teams? Doesn't having an unhappy face next to your name signal "I AM A PROBLEM EMPLOYEE"?
I am not arguing that there are; that was the parent comment. However, while the 3DES weaknesses don't yield practical attacks now, they still reduce the effective key length. My point was not that 3DES is different in that it is exploitable, but that it is different from the 2^80 limit in that the CSPRNG in that the later is not a result of a mistake in the algorithm's design but instead an expected feature. Just like the fact that any fixed-size key symmetric cipher is "limited" by that key size.

Now, if someone found a lower limit based on exploiting some weakness in the random number generation, the analogy with 3DES and MD5 would make more sense.
The Repercussions of Google's New Logo
Latency is a huge driver for most of that integration.

GPU's are an odd case because they need a lot of internal bandwidth and are minimally impacted by latency making external cards far more viable. And unlike sound cards they can easily eat more or less unlimited FLOPS.
Custom hardware is actually flourishing in datacenters. My preferred architecture is Cavium Octeon III style of many-core RISC, accelerators for everything, plenty I/O, and hypervisor support. Selling like hotcakes. Adapteva's stuff outperforms CPU's & GPU's at performance-per-watt-per-area with sales to HPC people. There's similarly at least a few custom hardware companies in each segment doing something that's hard or not cost-effective with existing hardware or software.

I agree that the risk is high, though, to the point that one shouldn't depend on it. So, I'd advice selling system w/ services that's profitable which just happens to use such custom hardware. A high-performance, easy-to-manage, easy-to-integrate... already worth buying... platform that also has hardware-supported GC and/or memory safety. The sales of the system & licensing of the software subsidize hardware costs, which are structured to be cheap anyway. Start with FPGA's, then S-ASIC's, then advanced S-ASIC's or finally ASIC's. The NRE stays as low as volume can support.

Relevant example of this model (and evidence for my GC idea) is Azul Systems Vega machines. Those are custom hardware for Java supporting native bytecodes, a bunch of RAM, a pauseless GC, and easy enterprise integration. So, while we're all speculating, they're selling custom hardware w/ pauseless GC's. I'm just trying to work out a different, cheaper design hopefully integrating with Intel/AMD.

http://www.azulsystems.com/products/vega/overview

Note that they support a whole range of hardware, software, and services to diversify income. Any one thing shouldn't sink them, esp unfavorable hardware. That's the model to copy.
I was always a Lite-Brite man myself...
