Do you have some special insight about YC you can relate to us showing why that isn't just a bunch of stuff you made up?
CP will only be remotely a good excuse to not do something once we have made spanking children illegal and punishable as assault. It's unbelievable the assault laws discriminate by age and don't protect the weakest. Spanking occurs MUCH more often than CP (there's no comparison) and the damages are enormous and long-lasting (including a lower IQ). So if you care about kids, help spread the word and hopefully more people will come to their senses and understand that assault should not be legal just because the victim is underage.
There are also a massive number of git repos internal to googl e as well.

One thing mentioned in the paper, but not mentioned here, is that there are teams that live in GIT, such as android and chrome, but they are not monolithic.
Generally people who research employment discrimination send out identical resumes except for a test factor and then use the number of interview invitations as a proxy for reaction to the test factor.

You do realize there are multiple ways to implement a feature, right? And if you want to talk about having two windows on a screen at once, that feature didn't originate on the surface, but on the 1984 Macintosh (with overlapping windows) and before that at Xerox (where Apple licensed some of the technology.)
> If the Fed tried to sell its bond portfolio it would likely tank the market and cause interest rates to spike, undoing much—if not all of—the beneficial economic effects its efforts have achieved over the last few years.

Isn't that exactly the goal? To "raise interest rates"? I mean, the solution to the problem is the thing that they can't do? I don't get it. It makes no sense. The argument is circular.

If rates would spike too much -- which is the same as saying bond prices are falling -- then all they have to do is slow the rate at which they're selling the portfolio.
I do not follow this logic. There are minority and women YC founders who already get the (A) hours.
The seller simply failed to note whether or not payment had actually been received for his phone, before shipping it. Bummer, but that's really all that happened here, right?
Oh, that explains. I've always wondered why there are so incredibly few hotspots in Germany - and the few existing hotspots are paid. Voiced it a few times to Germans but nobody knew it was because operators would be held liable.
There have been Bluetooth battery level indicators since at least iOS 7, for Bluetooth devices which support the feature. Admittedly, those were harder to read and did not show a percentage. Here's a screenshot:

Many of us thought it was good for the security market. Fast, reliable, cleaner than x86, and features that boosted security. Market just went with x86. I wonder if that would've been the case even without Itanium's weird VLIW features. If so, should never try something like that again in that market. If not, then maybe a new RISC processor might work. I vote they bring back their i960 in multi-core or team up on SPARC designs given it's open.

I worked on code.google.com, i can tell you the are 100% unrelated.

piper grew out of a need to scale the source control system the initial internal repositories were using

code.google.com was a completely separate thing supporting completely different version control models, and a very different scale
(very large number of small repositories, vs very small number of very large repositories)
I think a big part of the focus on tax revenue is "marketing". I only say that because a decent subsection of US society would oppose cannabis (or any recreational drug) on principle if it was only a moral issue. By focusing on more objective benefits, legalization proponents are able to bypass some of the "moral" opposition.

Basically, for people like me, morality would dictate that it's wrong to arrest or imprison a person for doing something that is, at worst, a bit unhealthy. Still, just as many people split the other way and think it's immoral to promote "vice" at all. The balance may shift but it's there.

Contrast that with the economic argument and you'll have a hard time finding people who would choose revenue going to the black market over funding something useful or lowering the tax burden on those who don't buy cannabis.
TIL about cweb. [1]

> CWEB is a version of WEB for documenting C, C++, and Java programs. WEB was adapted to C by Silvio Levy in 1987, and since then both Knuth and Levy have revised and enhanced the system in many ways, notably to support C++ and ANSI C. Thus CWEB combines TeX with today's most widely used professional programming languages.

> If you are in the software industry and do not use CWEB but your competitors do, your competitors will soon overtake you---and you'll miss out on a lot of fun besides.

I guess it never took off due to the "I'll do it latter when I have time mantra". Documenting and testing are always seen as low priority.

You make some really good points here. Here are my thoughts: members of these groups (race, sex, nationality) are being identified and negative stereotypes are being applied to them everyday. There has the be a distinction between giving people an explicit benefit based on race/sex/etc and doing outreach to members of different groups but then having an open and common application process for all.
Have you spent any time in or near a predominantly black church? There's one on my corner. There's white people there all the time.

First, I want to state that I'm glad YC is making such a step to help struggling founders. While I don't run a startup, I'm super divided on this post, and here's why:

A) It seems both condescending and racist at the same time (i.e. you're a minority in SV? surely you're doing terrible - let us help. You're white in SV? you must be doing great, move along we're not looking to help you) -- As others have stated, it's also partly because of the specified groups.

B) If the ground really is that uneven maybe the problem is not the founders, but the system (again, how to change that is a super complicated discussion)

I feel like a more tactful way to put out such a call for people who would like help might be something like:

"YC is putting on a special series of office hours for struggling startups. In past series we've found that certain groups of people were underrepresented, and we'd like for that not to be the case, so we are going to prioritize the following groups: <group listing here>. This doesn't mean anyone who is not in those groups is unwelcome."

As others have noted, getting away from the group listing would be even better. Maybe just making a call for anyone who feels like they have been "marginalized" in the SV startup community, or aren't receiving enough help might suffice (without making a laundry list of underrepresented people).

I have many opinions on the whole "diversity" debate, but I think my most defensible opinion is for organizations to aim for population-parity demographic distributions, and work to upset any limiting functions that might be skewing your sector away from the wider population's distributions (again, how to do this is highly debated, and I have a ton of my own opinions on the subject, but I digress).

I've also intentionally left out my own race/cultural group/whatever in this comment, but make sure to check your own biases at the door - I could be caucasian, latino, african american, asian, lgbt, trans, whatever .
I don't see how, no. Normal hours are still accessible to B and C, too, only now B and C do better in 'normal hours' as they've got a bit of a leg up. Over time B and C become role models, further increasing the presence of B and C in 'normal hours'. At least on paper.
Two days ago my team was doing a global change in our style guide and we needed a visual regression tool to help us avoid unexpected issues. Unfortunately, PhantomCSS setup is complicated and we quickly got frustrated. That's why I crated Look-alike. It's convenient for ad hoc usage. (Note that it's not meant for cases where frequent, repetitive and multi-page tests are needed!)
Oh, and BTW - the whole thing is open source and available on github: https://github.com/kdzwinel/Look-alike
Your conclusion (race doesn't matter) is inconsistent with your evidence (black churches and communities exist).
Given 20 years, and a doctorate degree $65k. Beyond 20, it goes to letters on the pay scale, and I'm not sure what the requirements are to move up that.

Basically they're a silicon valley company who've done everything that's exactly the opposite of standard silicon valley advise -- bootstrapped for first few years, complete apathy or even aversion to silicon valley marketing (if you live in the valley and have no foreign connection, you probably didn't even know what whatsapp was before 2012 or so), built for all client platforms simultaneously (including blackberry and Nokia), focus on non-US markets first, built out on leased hardware instead of public cloud, a simple pay-for-use business model selling to consumers (before facebook bought them), deep aversion to ads (http://blog.whatsapp.com/245/Why-we-dont-sell-ads?) etc. The fact that their technology stack ended up being Erlang on FreeBSD is probably the least distinguishing feature about them.
This hurts just thinking about what the build, test and deploy systems must look like.
That's a horrific url though, any way to 'humanise' that?
Not directly, mostly because I haven't done that much work in any language where you can do that. But I have had that kind of experience when trying to figure out what Ruby code is actually being run somewhere. I may be heading that way with C#, with the occasional overuse of dynamic and reflection.
Do you want to be fired for using your computer for non-work activities?
That was dumb CPU design. You can use SYSCALL/SYSRET in a way which creates a protection fault in hypervisor mode, but with a stack pointer set by the caller. The sequence of checks in SYSRET on Intel processors is badly chosen, because the AMD spec is ambiguous.

So, inevitably, there's a Windows exploit.
Good point, sorry.

He wasn't asking about YC, he was asking about the culture.

Note that this is just the monolithic repository.
Google also has other non-piper repositories containing hundreds of millions of lines too :P

For example, android and chrome are git based.

Note also that when codesearch used to crawl and index the world's code, it was not actually that large. It used to download and index tarballs, svn and cvs repositories, etc.

All told, the amount of code in the world that it could find on the internet a few years ago was < 10b lines, after deduplication/etc.

So while you may be right or wrong, i don't think it's as obvious you are right as you do.
That's some bizarre logic. Tax-free day doesn't "give back" anything, it just slows down the rate at which they exceed what they thought was acceptable.

Avoiding option proliferation seems important. It might be better to just toss the feature.

Edit: we tossed the feature. I'll edit the OP.
What the parent is getting at, I think, is that by having explicitly set-aside hours for groups 'B' and 'C', it will create a stigma that groups 'B' and 'C' must attend only those designated hours -- effectively making the "normal" office hours for the "elite' group 'A'.

It seems to me, no matter what way you look at it, separated office hours will perpetuate segregation and bigotry, instead of the desired effect.
Most central banks dictate that there should be 2% inflation, which means the economy needs to grow 2% per year. But we live in a world with linear resources so unless we talk about virtual goods the economy cannot grow that much and still be sustainable over the long run. Basically it will violate a nature law which says we cannot ventilate that much heat into space as the economic growth requires.

"At that 2.3% growth rate, we would be using energy at a rate corresponding to the total solar input striking Earth in a little over 400 years. We would consume something comparable to the entire sun in 1400 years from now - See more at: http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2012/04/economist-meets-...

Further the FED is privatly owned by banks.

Economics is trying to violate nature laws, it cannot do that so the current system will fail. A new sustainable economic system will emerge.
Yes, from what I understand the Colorado law has a requirement that taxes justify their rate based on the revenue they will raise. This tax far exceeded the revenue, and so the constitution (or law or both) requires "payback" to the people for the excess tax revenue-- this comes in the form of suspending the tax until it can be lowered... and in this case this means the tax will be suspended for one day until the new lower tax goes into effect.
I Made a Promise Visualization Playground
I'm a google software engineer and it's nice to see this public article about our software control system. I think it has plusses and minuses, but one thing I'll say is that when you're in the coding flow, working on a single code base with thousands of engineers can be an intensely awesome experience.

Part of my job- although it's not listed as a responsibility- is updating a few key scientific python packages. When I do this, I get immediate feedback on which tests get broken and I fix those problems for other teams along side my upgrades. This sort of continuous integration has completely changed how I view modern software development and testing.
I'm at Google now, but would share my opinion of Perforce while I was at Treyarch - Perforce is simply very easy for anyone to use - from software engineer, to game designer, scripter, artist, producer, technical writer, linguist, translator, etc. You can announce your changes by simply saying - it's submitted in CL: 12345678 - grab it and you are done. Eases the communication.

Git and HG are not. Not that they can't be learned, but the learning curve is much higher.

Piper and CitC (mentioned in Rachel Potvik's videO) are even more advanced, I can work from my desktop machine, then go and continue from my laptop, or open and edit files directly from critique in an internal web-based editor.

Key to all this - make it accessible through the web! Anyone can work then from almost any machine. But at the same time the sources is accessible in the file system - even more awesome - so i can use emacs, and whatever other tools are there.
Quick question: why do you think AMD decided canonical addresses had to be sign-extended rather than just lead with zeroes? Wouldn't an access to 0xffff800000000000 also break if the address space was extended?
Asian is as much a race as White or Black is. (All races are social constructed with culturally-ascribed boundaries, so really, anything that is generally perceived and treated as a race is a race; even if you restrict it to three "classical" races, White, Black, and Asian are pretty much the modern names for Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid.)
Alcohol is heavily taxed, and as any liquor store owner will tell you, it's taxed at every possible opportunity: production, distribution and end user sales.

We should be striving to bring overall tax rates for tobacco and marijuana up to match alcohol.
Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I think it could be better. I had a lot of trouble getting it right, and it required hacking with OpenSeadragon a bit to adjust from the default easing, which was meant for applying to user-drag actions not automated pan-and-zoom, and was definitely inappropriate by default.

Do you have any suggestions as to what characterstics of the animation/easing are causing eye strain or what sorts of changes would result in better?
The flaw in this argument is that it makes the implicit assumption that having more startups founded by black or hispanic founders is good just because there are more startups founded by black or hispanic founders.

That there is underrepresentation with respect to a minority is indicative of that minority generally having lower socioeconomic status, and perhaps prejudices against it. To try to combat whatever those prejudices may be, the suggestion here is that "diversity is good" and that just having more minorities will help the problem.

The difference is that it actually won't, because now you have a perception of people being given opportunities they don't deserve, just because they are a minority.

A much, much better way to try to deconstruct the sorts of prejudices or minority disadvantages, which this initiative is ostensibly trying to do, is to make these sorts of initiatives open to anyone disadvantaged (such as the poor), and invest in programs targeted at children in poorer (disproportionately minority) communities.
Nobody's business was ever ruined because of bad documentation, sadly.

Literate programming is an interesting idea from academia, but in the engineering environment of most startups it's a waste of time. Our program sources are annoying byproducts of a business, not something of value unto themselves.
Obviously someone thought there was a sign, even the teacher told him not to show it to anyone else outside that class. I think saying that a homemade clock isn't a sign is greatly underestimating how the news is capable of skewing things to screw people over.
I'm guessing the author was talking about "Windows RT". And "Surface" in that sentence meant the tablets running regular Windows. The WindowsRT tablets from ASUS/Dell/Samsung didn't sell like Android and iOS.

If one does a search&replace: s/Windows/WindowsRT/ :

"Obviously Windows RT has a similar implementation, but the unfortunate truth is that the Windows RT tablet market is almost non-existent at this point outside of the Surface lineup."

(I would appreciate if the downvoter who thought my interpretation was incorrect to reply with the correct way to read the author's sentence. It seems that Brandon Chester is quite aware of the difference between Windows RT vs Windows tablets : http://www.anandtech.com/show/8736/best-tablets-holiday-2014...)
Butterfleye – The No False Alarm Monitoring Camera
I'm not defensive about criticisms of this YC program, although I find all of them preposterous.

My hackles are, however, raised by the virulent strain of HN comments written by anonymous users confidently asserting that they understand the motives of people they've never met.

The word "probably" in the comment upthread is where the switch flipped in my brain that made me respond. Oh really? Probably, you say? Please tell us more. You've made an assertion; it's right there in the thread. Now stand by it and back it up with evidence.

Hi There,

I'd like to present to you Butterfleye and see what you all think. This is an attempt at introducing a whole new way of monitoring and surveillance that is home friendly.

Butterfleye is the only camera that is designed to ignore false alarms and save you time. Normally software is applied to video footage to detect different events such as motion or sound.

Butterfleye automates that process and simply video logs all activity and presents it in a newsfeed on the application on your smartphone.

By applying ABR or Activity Based Recording Butterfleye saves resources like energy, storage, and bandwidth as it does not require to be fully turned on and recording at all times like traditional security and or monitoring cameras.

More importantly it only records events so you do not have to sift through hours of footage to find the few seconds you care about.

Some people compare the Butterfleye camera with other IP cameras and CCTV on the market because it does the same thing, but really it is more about how it does it and why it does it that way.

We wanted to provide a better user experience for those who are interested in video monitoring. What do you all think of the technology behind our product?

Thanks

You're putting words in my mouth. But if you want to talk about that, then yes, there is more support for homeless women than there is for men.

But that is beside the point here. My point was to list a handful of the many counterexamples to "it is white male time all the time", which is a silly claim, at least as stated.

Strike that example off the list, then. It doesn't change the original comment's point.
> How did the Fed push these reserves into the system? Easy. It created them out of thin air, and used them to buy government securities from banks.
