Disrupt International Development with the Archimedes Project
Diarrhea kills over a million children every year. The world has the tools and expertise to prevent these deaths. What is needed is a new way of looking at this problem as a market failure, not a case for more ineffective charity or appeals to incompetent governments.

The Archimedes Project works with entrepreneurs to design and launch scalable companies that can increase access to water and sanitation for over a million customers in the developing world. These businesses will have a massive impact on the accessibility of affordable products and services and the potential to save millions of lives.

We've designed and launched our first business and are ready to expand. We are building an online platform in accelerate our growth, track impact and change the face of international development.

We need your help!

Don't know anyone's ages here, but is anyone fascinated by the historical implications of this? I started using Linux in the 90's and the talk in the community at the time was "world domination". It seems to me that's happened--more or less behind the scenes, but it's happened.
It still makes use of the original micro-kernel design,with kernel level RPC to separate modules. Thus still offering a micro-kernel cleanness in a monolithic space.

Also since Windows Vista many drivers are now implemented in user space, with minimal kernel primitives.
I don't understand why does the merchant have to pay the 15 fee. It sounds to me the entity that should handle the loss of fraud is the bank.

Really useful! Thanks for making this - big help for anyone doing product management related to Android (like me)
I think if you provide an interesting detailed and related anecdote like you did then it's not a "me too" post
The journalist driver was in on it. I would still not rate that as a "prank". I'd be way too worried about collateral damage resulting from it to take any part in such a stunt.
Some banks implementing 3D Secure/Verified By Visa/MasterCard do it by asking for a separate password.

Given how few sites actually implement it, it becomes a pain to use if you have to dig out the password or set it up on first use.
They certainly look useful at first glance.

The first's library implementation is based on boost.coroutine which as far as I'm aware uses stack-switching, so this is more of a syntax demo than a demo of the final implementation details. The fact that you can apply sizeof() to the resumable type is important for the kernel-typical pool allocators.

The second seems to have preview support in VS2015's compiler. Too bad I'm not much of a Windows programmer these days… It's not quite clear what ther memory-allocation story is from that article.

Of course the downside is it's yet another graft onto the C++ language. After ~15 years of using it, my point of view is mainly that C++'s type system and unsafe-by-default behaviour inherited from C are a mistake…
look at the pictures of people using laptops with standup desks. Their head is pointed down, that is terrible for ergonomics.

Proper standup desks should have a different height for the keyboard and the monitor.
The rant is about basic web apps like a web forum in his case. your sample about .net version is a no-brainer in shared hosting and sql reporting is not for basic apps.
I know a couple of guys like this as well. While it's true that one can go far in business by treading on people and screwing people over, being decent human beings certainly doesn't seem to have held them back in life, at least.
I thought Java was our generation's COBOL. For example, quoting from http://www.infoworld.com/article/2628631/development-environ... :

> "Java has evolved from a groundbreaking, revolutionary language platform to something closer to a modern-day version of Cobol."

Or http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?JavaIsTheNewCobol :

> "Is Java the new Cobol? A good argument can be made that yes, it is."

One of the arguments given is '[The developers] learned ObjC moonlighting at their boring .NET job, and then you hired them. They’re now moonlighting learning Swift, and now you’re the boring ObjC job. See where this is going?'

That surely parallels the experience with Java - why isn't ObjC "our generation's" Java?

Windows IO completion ports and the way threads are scheduled are probably only beaten by Solaris and Aix specific APIs.

Most FOSS devs never care to learn such APIs and stay with the lowest common denominator that happens to exist in GNU/Linux and *BSD.
Promise Visualization Playground for the Adventurous
You've completely missed the point and it also seems your view of the world is very different than it actually is. How do you propose YC approach an issue like this, in a country filled with racism and discrimination? Is your idea really just "treat all people equally" and the world will follow suit? How does that work?
Misused, by whom?

I trust my physician to know how to interpret the BMI values. I don't trust my insurance company to do the same, but they're eventually the ones with a large n (so to speak) - ethics aside, if they want a cost-effective way to factor obesity in their premium, BMI might be the way to go. They'll overestimate the premium for the bodybuilder, but they'll get right most of the time.

I'd expect most misuse to be by the media and random people in the Internet. In both cases, however, you should already be taking everything - not only BMI stuff - with a grain of salt.

P.S. Even at an individual level, BMI will hold true for the large majority. Even you're talking in a fitness forum, most people won't have enough muscle mass to affect the index that much.
For ELV sure. That's the German implementation of SEPA direct debit (which should work almost everywhere in Europe). You can even charge different amount each time, provided you inform the customer before you attempt to charge. For example, I pay my electricity and phone bills by this system, just like my purchases on Amazon and almost everything else that is provided by German companies (just like most people).

Don't know about iDEAL, but I think that wouldn't work.

The thing: If you don't implement all of this yourself, you don't need to worry about the details. There are services that happily do this for you.
Current cream of the crop:

IBM System z is EAL5 rated (Semiformally Designed and Tested)

Integrity-178B is EAL6 rated (Semiformally Verified Design and Tested). It's used in aviation systems: Airbus A380, F-16, F-22, F-35 and B-2.

Currently the only EAL7+ rated (Formally Verified Design and Tested) devices are data diodes. Maybe seL4 can be first OS to get this rating?

1) Because it was just one weekend of work. Not everyone might continue working on/at the startup after the initial weekend. Would be weird if a fifth of your startup is owned by some guy who helped out one weekend, even if that weekend was the very first weekend.
2) They totally could, and Bobby did, right? There is the question of IP though. What parts of the IP are of Billy's LLC? I'd agree that the code made that weekend is not, it's bound under whatever the team agreed to. But the idea of the company might really be Billy's, even if that conflicts with the competitions rules or spirit a judge would still have to rule on that.

Dick move by Billy, but the end result is only a wasted weekend.
In many countries (such as where I'm from, Sweden, or where I live now, Japan), debit cards and credit cards are interchangeable, and you can't even tell by looking at the card if it's debit or credit. They're both VISA or MasterCard branded, and what's backing it is only the business of the cardholder, not the merchant.

I remember Maestro cards in Sweden as being for under-18's, and then when you become an adult you get a VISA/MasterCard debit card instead, but I don't know if that's true anymore.
While many places have postcodes, most don't have postcode validation for credit card transactions. And it wouldn't really help to combat fraud anyway.
That may come soon anyway with Intel Skylake's SGX.
“Oh, I don’t care. Take it down, or just write whatever gay shit you want there.”

A gay shitstorm in a teacup, big effing deal!

Get over yourself man. You can't claim the moral high ground when you a couple of paragraphs before quoted Andereessen that's like quoting Dr. Evil but in a serious tone.

What's with Pinky and the Brain monologue "We devs are taking over the world"?

You sounded like an evil Goldman Sachs bankster who's about to crush some innocent souls to extract some $$$.

I definitely rooted for Billy the Texas cowboy just to teach this impostor Bobby a lesson in deal making since he's so consumed with taking over the world to the point that he couldn't make a proper deal with an investor and to let him know who calls the shot and who collects the scraps.

Good luck next time buddy.

BTW, your anti-bullying stance and victim card playing is not fooling anyone. You're as bad as those bullies.
I think we've all felt like this before.

Is this one of the reasons people use Java? Is it way wrong to say Docker is like a JVM for non-Java?
This has happen to me more times then I would like to admit.

Confessions. I know I should use curl but I never do and just use wget and think curl is just a one year newer wget :(

curl is better tool than wget but I used wget first and never changed. I do use aria2c more now for downloading but I know curl is a great tool I don't use.
So can you create a general purpose OS with something like this, or is it only useful for embedded stuff, like say voting machines?
Wizard attacks wizard
Unless there's some bug in your transaction processing system causing it to leak excessive amounts of data on why the transaction was denied it makes no sense for checkers to use it over their own merchant accounts.

(And typical checker traffic is more like thousands of transactions rather than tens)

It seems much much more likely that someone was just trying to card some candy.

I'm 35, started using Linux in '97 so I've been around for most of the history.

It's quite amazing how Microsoft has changed in that time tbh from "Embrace, Extinguish, Extend" and all the shenanigans they pulled with comparing Win2k vs Linux/Samba and the halloween memo through to submitting code to the kernel, using Linux as a guest in their VM stuff and now using it internally not to mention making .Net a first class citizen (which when it's done will be incredible, I love C# as a language but in Linux land it's not quite their yet compared to on Windows).

Yes thats we have scientist and mathematicians for. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try and also see if we can put it in different perspectives that help us understand the field.

If you want to shut-up and calculate by all means. That doesn't mean I or others have to. After all we are humans.

Because you are managing your servers as pets not cattle? Because you did the installs manually and can't replicate them? Thats what you need to fix, with automated deployments that is a non issue.
Yes, Linux has dominated the commodity server space. Look what happened to Sun & Solaris. But what about the desktop? Back in the late 90s there was much talk of how the Linux desktop would take over, KDE vs Gnome etc. IBM and Sun backed Open Office, Andy Herzfeld launched Nautilus. And then it didn't happen. MS still owns the business desktop with Windows & Office. And MS still has a big chunk of the consumer desktop, though Apple has taken a lot of it with MacOS.
Pre-weekend:

>I’ll be honest: I thought it was a huge longshot and wasn’t that concerned. All advice I read in the startup arena advises to be ready to sacrifice the next 5+ years of your life in the pursuit, and most tech startups have abysmal failure rates. Still, if John thought this was worth going after, sure, umbrella me under your ask: 0.4% each for our efforts over the weekend.

That says it all. "Sure, umbrella me under your ask."

This coder agreed to that, he even was kind enough not to whitewash history in his write-up to us so that we know he agreed to that. After it's taken off suddenly Bobby feels like he is entitled to something more.

That's not the way agreements work :) Bobby is the one in the wrong in this article, he spells it out in black and white. There is no gray area here - absolutely crystal-clear.

If he didn't like the terms, he should have joined one of the losing teams instead. If he thought the terms weren't valid, he should have mentioned this instead of agreeing to them.

Here's a hint if you want to run the world, Bobby: your word - or handshake agreements - actually mean something, and you stick by it.

> Microsoft I suspect will end up a services company like Google with some hardware being sold on the side. And you know what? That's fine.

This seems to be one of the patterns for large enterprise software companies, IBM did it as well.

It would be interesting to see what Microsoft could do with Linux on the desktop if they swung their weight behind it, Microsoft has incredible engineering resources and some amazing programmers, I doubt it would happen but it would be fascinating.

It's not the physical traits of height or maleness or colour, but the anger displayed.

Perhaps I should have phrased it as "Don't have a work environment that regularly causes your employees to display anger"; and "Support your employees with workplace stress".

But still, anyone who is regularly angry at work needs to realise that their behaviour is not acceptable.
Compare and contrast, 5000 years of interest rates
Amplitude doesn't directly translate to volume/loudness, in the same way that frequency does not directly translate to pitch.

For those interested, pitch vs frequency is covered by the mel scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_scale and "loudness" in decibels is logarithmic (and at best, not a great measure of volume as perceived by people in different environments).

Seems a bit rich to fail people on this ambiguous question..

The Hardest chess problem in the world?
Service discovery, orchestration, and on-the-fly config/environment changes are things that are solved by tools like consul and mesos (to scratch the surface). The ops world is so much more than just dockerfiles. There is absolutely a "chance of discovery". Using consul has helped us move to zero-configuration, discoverable microservices. Then for the more hobbyist stuff, there's docker-compose. Not looking into the options and ranting is not the same as there not being any options.

While WAMP is awesome on the paper.
(And it is definitely awesome.)

Some disclaimer would be fair.
Currently, the most complete router implementation is Crossbar.io (Python), while it is functional, documentation is lacking cruelly.
For example, we don't know yet how to do proper cookie authentication.
Or the WAMP-CRA authentication has a little flaw and should be replaced with a new auth scheme.

Another example is that AutobahnPython or AutobahnJS are lacking documentation on CallOptions or SubscribeOptions and other things. There is a lot of boilerplate to achieve simple things like... managing a connection lifetime (there is onopen, onclose, and onclose gives you some details, but no consistent, it's hard to know when auth failed or connection aborted).

Anyway.
It just means that WAMP is in his debuts, I hate some weaknesses of the WAMP ecosystem (documentation, boilerplate, etc...)
Nevertheless, it's awesome and you should definitely try something with. And if you can, contribute and make it incredible.

(No offense, I'm a fond of WAMP, but I don't want people to say things that are obvious like: "oh there is no doc it's a shitty project" -- WAMP is moving fast. Very fast.)

Nice idea, but it's much too expensive. For ~200 Euro more I can buy a standing/sitting desk from Ikea that will likely last a lot longer than three years and has a motor instead of three fixed-height models.
So this is an alternative to hook.io?
Hanging 3 kg weight with neck muscles all day kills the neck.

I made interesting observation in the work few months ago.

All tall people (> 1.8 m) tend to use monitors and keyboards every time they have opportunity. Smaller people are more comfortable using laptops in the office. Tall people have to bend their head downwards more and they have to give up terrible ergonomic position first.
Credit card is more difficult to keep track of your finances. You don't notice your balance changing until the end of the month. Further, you're doing things on credit, where most Dutch mentality is to save, then spend.

The insurance policy is there because of a lack of security. Plus you pay it back anyways. E.g. if you pay with your credit card abroad they make money on the currency conversion plus they charge the merchant significantly more. Hidden costs that you don't notice. The bank cards / Meastro system is way cheaper.

If you stay within the EU you can just pay with your bank/debit card. Only if you travel outside of the EU you'd really need a credit card. Not too many people need that, so someone having a credit card is not that common (though IIRC Rabobank automatically gives you one).

Plus the whole confusing difference between credit card and the bank cards. I'd highly prefer things to go out of my bank account immediately. My bank card doesn't have the credit card number and isn't accepted. I'd wish my bank provided a better (integrated) overview.
If no contracts were signed, I wonder if that would be the default, anyways. If it were to go to court, the absence of a contract would signify that no change of ownership has occurred, and since the work was done for free, there would be no implicit agreement of work-for-hire. Therefore, deciding ownership would be a simple (ha!) matter of examining the commit logs.

I was in a business (music publishing) for a number of years that dealt heavily with copyright law, but IANAL, so I could be way off here.
Honestly, the OP is trying to be a bit ingenious trying to push the example of PageRank into the argument. Google's core advantage is its tech. The PageRank algorithm was so much better than anyone else on the market that it was bound to win.

In this case, there is no real innovative, patent-worthy tech. It's just an idea with some very basic tech any developer worth his salt can put together in months if not weeks.

I see this all the time: developers confuse pure tech companies (like Google or SpaceX) with tech-supported companies.

If you're comparing Red Hat RPM's version numbers, then don't. Red Hat works by backporting features and fixes on top of the old versions, precisely so customers don't need to upgrade to new major versions so often.

Learn how to deploy a multi-service web app with Docker
> Living in Holland, where everyone does online transactions with iDeal, I find it hard to understand why the rest of the world is using credit card payments at all, for anything.

We do have both ideal type payments and credit card payments in Finland (I assume ideal is a direct bank payment to merchants account?)

I still personally always use credit card if possible as it gives the customer extra layer of security. For example in cases where you purchase something quite expensive let's say a holiday package if the company does not deliver the holiday, goes bankrupt etc you will get the money back with CC but NOT if you have paid directly via web bank payment form.

Same thing with online fraud, if you pay to fraudulent website it's going to be extremely hard to get your money back if you have paid it directly to scammers bank account.
They don't have a choice. Linux has already won. Heard of Android? Yeah that's the Linux kernel right there, over a billion mobile devices. Heard of Mac OS? That's a Unix kernel right there. Microsoft makes a proprietary operating system with cumbersome licensing restrictions. Microsoft is 10 years from death if it does not embrace Linux.
> I'm aware that this is from 1997-1999, but I'm curious: Do people still print out source code for better reading?

I know a bunch of embedded C programmers who have been doing it for a long time who do this regularly. They know their stuff. They don't print out the whole codebase, just a few pages of whatever they're working on, then they annotate it with a pen while thinking about whatever problems they are solving.
