First of all thanks for the feedback, I always love when critics are useful.
I try to go point by point.
We took a conscious decision disabling the scrolling wheel as zoom in/out because otherwise it would have triggered too many "refine searches". In addition today the search is even slower due to the huge traffic we're getting and it's definitely something we should work on.
But I agree, the map is definitely something we should work on.

Regarding the landing page I think it's still a speed problem, but I'll take a closer look to this.

Thanks again.
Whoops, sorry. I didn't realise that was your "people think the answer is .." - I skipped over your response to it because of the subheading "What is the European market?" :p
Yes, exactly.

It explains how even in a small company modularization can help extremely. Now look at Google, where some issues (like the google.com april 1st XSS issue) were only fixed after outsiders mentioned it.

Usually internally the team responsible for that part should have cought that.

Or maybe you have had many life events (births, deaths, etc.) and your employer wasn't very understanding. So you've already burned all your time off and are ready to find an employer who's a better fit.
Maybe you have more info but... Somehow, if I understand correctly. The USA spends more per student than any other country. Yet, somehow, other countries have better outcomes.

Is my info bad or does that suggest that more money isn't the problem. Is the problem how the current money is being spent or is it that we need more money. Are those articles making stuff up?

As for salary I also think it's a crime that teachers get paid so low. At the same time low is probably relative. A teacher in Berlin making $40k a year is doing a lot better than a teach in NYC/LA/SF making $40k a year. I've tried to talk myself into becoming a teacher but salary is a big reason I can't quite get myself to take the leap.

Is cloudflare more complex or less? If I'm connecting through a CF proxy in North America and someone else is connecting through Europe, there's not really any state that needs to be synchronized between us. If I send a message to somebody in Europe, that obviously does need to be synced.

Racism is the individual or collective act of blindly favoring one race over another, or hurting one race over another. There's this thing called the dictionary. If you don't like the definitions in there, come up with a new word and definition!

You have no evidence that this wouldn't happen to a white kid, but that's the most likely outcome. If this were pre-9/11 (pre-Patriot Act BS), I'm not so sure. Racism and prejudice to some extent is just part of the human condition.
Perhaps one day we'll advance enough to make it a non-issue, but we need to stop the hysterics about "only in America" and "whites always get favored" without some concrete evidence and historical context.
Yes, I'm sure Google has a lot to learn from SoundCloud about how to deploy software at scale, like that time NASA got advice from Estes Industries on how to launch rockets.

A demographic inverse pyramid occurs when parents decide to breed below replacement rate. I intend to have two or more children, preferably around four children, as a way of ensuring that my values exist more strongly over the coming decades. It's a form of game theoretic cooperation with my culture in what resembles a Commons problem.

You can not assert a consistent behavior off of one example. You're finding something you seem to be looking for. I was not kidding about being arrested and getting ordered to not touch computers for some period of time. Wigs have been flipped.

I do not know that school administrators have "consistently" flipped out at white kids, either. I don't know what the baseline occurrence of these events are. My suspicion would be that every case we've ever heard of, including this one, is still an outlier, and thus not suitable for drawing sweeping conclusions from, and in fact kids probably do stupid stuff like this every day without making the national news.
this seems like an ad for cassandra, many comments on how it scales and how partitioning is easy but no concrete examples at all. Having used cassandra in the past, it sure isn't the holy grail of nosql dbs, especially not for analytics that this article suggests
I was at Google for a long time and it was almost entirely Perforce (some Googlers used git) until it was Piper (which is very similar to Perforce). L&S used CVS at Stanford for the original Backrub/Google code and for some time after the establishment of Google, Inc.
The article claimed the code, and they way it's run, is a monolithically developed and deployed product.

If that’s not the case, I apologize for misunderstanding it.

But if it was the case, I wanted to state that it might not be wise, for the same reasons as this thread mentioned https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10195423

EDIT: Thanks for telling me, though! Always nice to be proven wrong, as at least I learnt something today :D
> If this did indeed come from Obama then the school administration are gonna be feeling pretty damn awkward today.

Or validated: in lots of parts of the country, the culture is such that being on the opposite side of an issue from President Obama is prima facie evidence of the correctness of your actions. (And same with Zuck and other, as they might be describe, "coastal liberal elites".)
Most cases aren't taken to court. Courts have decided against these firms in the past and the general climate is turning against them. I've got similar claims (but only 500€) and the lawyer firm stopped bothering me after I've said I'm running a freifunk.net router (which I'm doing) - freifunk.net are having a "war" cash depot and want to go to the BVerG to end finally end this madness. You can follow the drama here: http://freifunkstattangst.de/

The new law is btw. not helping at all. It's lobbying by said lawfirms that bother you and me and in practice things likely will turn out worse. See http://freifunkstattangst.de/2015/09/16/die-bundesregierung-... for details.

If it's Waldorf and Frommer tell them you are cooperating the freifunkstattangst.de and mail them. They dropped at least my case out of fear (or rather tactics on their behalf).

It's a scare game these lawyers are playing. It's ridiciolous that this is still a thing. However most lawyers are profiting of it and the majority of Bundestag members are lawyers. For a (kind of unfair) comparison see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechtsberatungsgesetz#Geschich...
> Git isn't so awesome that it's inconceivable that people would be willing to use something else.

Inconceivable? No, I just asked why. Git to me is a great solution for source control, so I want to understand it's deficiency for handling large amounts of code, especially considering it is used for managing Linux source and handles everything in GitHub I've used quite well.

Ironically, you are engaging in the same sort of fear mongering and paranoia that these schools and police are engaging in. You are taking a rare event (idiotic profiling or terrorism) and concluding they are very common.

These sorts of overreactions are very uncommon. That isn't to say these sorts of zero tolerance, jail what you don't understand, actions shouldn't be strongly condemned.

But there are probably hundreds of thousands of kids who are into tinkering and hacking who haven't ever been bothered.

Here is one: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/04/no-joke-googles-apri...

The issue was that they wanted to load the page – with the user logged in, etc – on com.google. For this they implemented an explicit URL parameter that would allow this.
"my argument is based [...] on facts, [...] yours ... on nonsense, [they're] not comparable."

I said your stance was based on presumptions, mine on facts, which are by definition incomparable since one is the basis for a conclusion, the other is a search of evidence to fit a pre-concieved conclusion and is typically based on prior context or experience.

Except I don't see a single fact in your original comment.

Then you missed it. The TechCrunch author's controversializing use of race is not supported by any specific facts and is merely a presumption based on circumstantial evidence.

Now, we're in agreement that you believe presumptions are sufficient to reach different conclusions, and I do not.

while bringing in our own biases based on a lot of assumptions

You're confused and not following along. Not only do I make no assumptions on this issue; that assumptions should never be made is my whole point.

The difference is, I admit it.

Your position is that we both make assumptions. My position is that assumptions should not be made and that your stance is justly objectionable. Do you see that admitting the above would not only be a self-contradiction, but, in fact, it would be a reversal?
Right, there are no criminals, that is all just made up by the police-industial-complex.
Why wouldn't they? Crony capitalism is still capitalism. It's a company using it's capital to gain an advantage.
So the money for education can only be spent on the kind of education YOU like, and not the kind of education that the parents like? You do realize that's incredibly arrogant, right? You and other enlightened people know what's best, but everyone else who disagrees with you about what's best is unenlightened swine? That's tautological.
Actually there is state that might need to be synchronized between the two locations. The cached state of the page or other resources there. CF doesn't just do a blind proxy to the host, along with that it does a number of checks for common attacks and other misbehaving clients.
Facebook might be able to give you more info if you contact them directly.
Perhaps disable refining searches and instead have a button refines. This could allow users to scroll idiomatically and save on unnecessary traffic.
Why would they charge him with creating a hoax? The teachers that cried bomb threats should be penalized, not the student.

Am I missing something here? It's starting to look like he is the victim of a conspiracy where the administration and local PD trumped up the charges, I wouldn't be surprised if the state attorney general would've loved to have sunk his teeth in too.

This whole situation is as much about blatant racism and fear mongering as it is about the viciousness of state-backed prosecutorial adventurism.
Really happy to see this being launched too. Just applied.
The sharing economy never got started, because, when you get down to it, people don't really like other people or their stuff.

Hey Micael, exciting to see YC continuing to battle the inequality that exists in the startup world.

I'm curious -- why did you chose to craft the program along racial lines, as opposed to along socioeconomic lines, which seems to be the recent trend in higher ed affirmative action?
So why do so many government-run and government-funded programs fawn over such companies when their ultimate goal is job creation and these companies are designed to run with barely a couple dozen people at most?

The people rich enough for congress' ear says the jobs are hard to fill. What the employers mean is that they're expensive. What the government hears is high demand. Government will champion tech work until labor costs are driven down.

Clearly you've not used a German cell phone plan, nor have experienced the LTE coverage across Germany.
It's worth noting that its pretty easy to generate data that passes all NIST random tests which is 100% predictable / pseudo random. Eg, just encrypt using AES 256 with the key "predictable" hashed. So, these tests are necessary but not sufficient to prove a random walk hypothesis. The author says as much, but buries this somewhere midway down the article.
There are actually psych studies out there that take a photo of a person, darken one copy of it, and lighten another, and ask the volunteer subjects to form first-impression opinions of the people shown in the photographs.

The results typically show that lighter-skinned people are viewed more positively than darker-skinned people, even when the person providing the opinions is a darker-skinned person.

This can be trivially verified by testing the hypothesis, "In the relationship triangle, the protagonist will always choose the lighter-skinned person in the end," against all existing Tyler Perry movies.

And that's just passive cultural enforcement. I'm sure that the regular two-minutes hate on that one photo of Osama bin Laden as the quintessential, stereotypical terrorist mastermind did no favors to anyone sharing similar facial features.
At my school somebody did build a small time bomb and he made it go off in the dust bin at the playground. Even then the police didn't get involved.

Our way we get the best deal is checking daily if the price of your hotel decreased and getting that for you. In this way you'll have the best rate available on the market from now to the day you check in.

If you book directly on the hotel today it doesn't mean than tomorrow the hotel won't drop the price, so there's no absolute truth in saying that the best deals are available just dealing with the hotel. Sometimes is true, that's why we're negotiating pilots with some hotel chains (i cannot tell more, sorry)

Keeping Fortran code is technical debt in a similar way that keeping your VHS videos is technical debt.

Sure, you may be able to find tools to use Fortran in the near term. But how do you protect the future. Does it play well with emerging systems/protocols? Do you have developers to maintain it? Is there a clear path to upgrade to newer platforms and frameworks?
I could see it working out with an application 'why are you underrepresented?' rather than trying to guess at categories. As above, someone growing up dirt poor, but white, in rural Alabama might qualify. Or, say, Ahmed the clock guy when he founds a company.

But I have no experience with these things, so applaud the effort. The YC guys seem good at changing/improving things as they go.
Here's a pretty hardcore version of that idea https://gofuckingdoit.com/ . Put your money up, and if you don't make your deadline for your friend to verify it, your money goes to your friend.
We're already exploring some options, and this is definitely one of them.
The sun of a (Dutch) friend actually 'hacked' his school network (he gleaned the password from his teacher). Grades were altered, he involved others, and they were caught. The police was not involved, and he was expelled. He is now attending another school.
He was punished, but it did not ruin his future.
> Granted, it's not the glorious 5%+ returns of yesteryear, but then, we're in a savings glut.

That's a nonsensical statement when the central bank is fully in control of the money supply, and thus, the interest rate.

That's like saying "well my computer has a billion copies of funny cat gifs on it, so there's a funny cat gif glut". It doesn't make any sense. You control how many copies of funny cat gifs are on your computer. If there are too many, it's because you made too many copies. If there are two few, it's because you made too few. Pretending that market action had anything to do with something that you are ultimately in control of makes zero sense.

The interest rate is low (or zero) because the central bank decided it should be, not because all the people in the world collectively don't have any real preference for a dollar today versus a dollar tomorrow.

To be safe you can also encase the device in a Faraday cage for additional security.

Perhaps, but each family with a child will need to make a decision about how to school that child, and one family doesn't have the power to fix the system.

Tragedy of the Commons and all that. Maybe it's best for society if we don't give up on the public school system, but for my kid, today, given the options I have, is sending them there the best option? Rarely is the answer yes.
Git is fine at scaling horizontally (many repositories), so things like GitHub work well. Neither Git nor Mercurial do well at scaling to a single massive repository; getting Mercurial to do so was easier because we can implement it as out-of-core extensions (see http://bitbucket.org/Google/narrowhg, for example).

There's also internal-only things to deal with, such as the CitC integration. Because of some of the design decisions behind CitC, storing a typical .git or a .hg directory in CitC is essentially impossible. Mercurial's .hg directory is intentionally a black-box - you interact with the repo using the hg tool. The .git directory can be seen as an API - there are at least three implementations that matter for our purposes, and if we change something in the .git directory, we lose the editor/IDE integration powered by the ones we didn't fix (or we did fix, but they haven't been released yet; some of those are linked into products that have a commercial release cycle).

So he has a Muslim name, which is why this story went viral. Because racism. I hope everyone is equally outraged by the nonsense that happens all the time[0][1] to kids who aren't named Mohammad in public schools.

Sending your high IQ kids to school with adults who are batting 85 should be regarded as parental malpractice. And the notion that people defend public schools and tell us taxpayers they just "need more money!1!!1" flies in the face of reason and the facts (per pupil spending since the 60s has tripled with no change in test scores).[2]

Public schools suck by their very nature as state-controlled entities. If education is so important (especially today), why do we allow our kids to be taught and schools administered by the equivalents of DMV employees? Of course the poorest kids with broken families suffer the most.

And what happens when charter schools actually succeed? The Teachers Union is there to try and shut them down, with the help of sympathetic politicians (see NYC and de Blasio)[3]
