Yeah, the fact that they have to cite Honest Co. (not one of the big names), and that the liquidation preference works out to a tiny fraction of their current valuation, suggests to me this isn't a huge concern.

Then again, I don't know how transparent the financing is for these enormous companies, so maybe it is a bigger deal than I think. (I also don't lose too much sleep over it.)
There are no entries for 'embarrassing' subjects such as Marxism or Leninism...

I mean the other way around; expensive art is to galleries as expensive wine is to ___ ?

I'm not interested in the art equivalent to "Two Buck Chuck" - I bought several of those pieces of art myself. :)
There's theory and there's practice. Saying that using ioctl is the right choice because it helps cross compilation rings a little hollow when the cross compiled binary obviously won't run due to the target system not having said syscall.
I'm price concious, so a cheaper paperback will put me off from buying the ebook. I don't care if books are expensive apart from that.

Children's books currently are better in print than in ebook form. The Kate Greenaway award lists some really nice books that don't work in ebook form. http://www.carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/greenaway/

(I'm sure this is something my child will think is odd when xe reads to their child - "My Dad used to read to me from real paper books!".)
The point is that it requires TLS handshakes to be done in a multi-threaded system for a server handling high concurrency.

Many servers are multi-threaded, but many are not. Using the proposed technique in a Node.js process, or nginx, is going to severely limit the number of new connections per second.
I've seen some Windows developers getting advice on the protocols used to talk to the watch on their Slack channels. I don't think you'll see Pebble implement a Windows host app, but they've not been too hostile to the idea.

The watch-to-phone communications methods are the same with the Pebble Time Round. It looks like the differences are all in how the UI of the watch is rendered, and those are pretty major. However, outside of the screen, the hardware is very similar to the already-deployed Pebble Time.
Must be local. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and you'll see e-bikes frequently in the rougher parts of town.
In any case, there are significant differences at runtime as well. Look at the link I posted at your other comment.

Keep in mind when IPv4 was introduced the number of computers on the internet could be measured in the hundreds.

I really hope people don't shit on the original engineers. A 32-bit address space probably seemed stupidly, uselessly huge at that point in time.

Comprehensive within the field of philosophy? Yeah, I think that can be achieved. Wikipedia articles on core philosophical articles are often not much more than stubs - certainly the SEP examples seem more coherent and well structured.

I wouldn't say pretty much everywhere. Probably only in Amsterdam.

In Berlin it's mostly: cars | bikes | parking | pedestrians (raised sidewalk).

In Warsaw (for example) it's: cars | parking | bikes (part of the sidewalk) | pedestrians (raised sidewalk).

Some people are encoding IP addresses inside smartcards and similar electronic devices. There are all sorts of schemes out there such as devices that user their hardcoded IP address to send packets and network gateways use routing rules to decide whether to forward or drop the traffic.

Fact is that if you want a GLOBALLY UNIQUE IP address, then IPv6 is the ONLY way to get one. It has been over 20 years since IPv4 addresses ceased to be globally unique.
> Wolfe has protected lanes all through, I used to bike on that.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I bike across Wolfe on Evelyn all the time and have seen no protected bike lanes on it. I just checked Street View on a handful of different parts of Wolfe and I see zero protected bike lanes, and it says the data is from this year. You're talking about Wolfe Rd that crosses Caltrain and goes next to Vallco right?

> Same with Fremont/Sunnyvale-Saratoga, etc.

Checked these on Street View since I don't drive on them that often, same deal, zero protected bike lanes. Unless they've done some very recent construction, I think you may be confused about what protected bike lanes are: http://www.peopleforbikes.org/green-lane-project/pages/prote...
Basically yes. I also have httpsEverywhere and a newly added Privacy Badger, but they don't seem to change anything.
I became a bad procrastinator due to overworking myself and almost got a formal verbal warning for it (more of an informal fix your shit warning happened). At the time I had over 1 month [effective] leave "saved" up; I took it.

I came back and became the exact opposite - by a very substantial degree. It felt like I was 20 again: I had all the brains, guts and dedication that got me hired in the first place.

Burn out can really mess you up - far worse than being a plain-old incompetent bad hire.

What's to say that the students who forgave themselves didn't do so as a result of some other underlying reason that happens to be correlated with a propensity to forgive oneself?

At the very least, one could argue that inability to forgive oneself could in some cases be indicative of, say, depression. Perhaps self-confidence is simply what helps one succeed?
Interesting read. Thanks :)
Not bad that! Here (UK) we have yet to see a major ISP embrace IPv6 properly.

Array bounds errors are a common source of problems in C. Fixing these errors with behavioral changes is expensive. It increases the amount of training and increases the cognitive load on programmers, and yet errors will still slip by because we are imperfect. On the other hand, if I add bounds checking to my programming language, then I've just transformed serious vulnerabilities into simple runtime errors. Computers are easier to reprogram than brains are.

Towers surrounded by green space has been tried, with mostly negative results.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Corbusier#Criticism

Good urban space is mostly about how nice it feels to be on a street. You want a comfortable amount of walking space, destinations that are close together, and that's pretty much it. Surrounding buildings with parks makes walking harder and less pleasant.

There's probably enough demand for taller buildings, but it's illegal.
And if you're over 30 miles from work, forget it unless you're in fairly good shape. My 45+ mile commute to Silicon Valley laughs at any attempt to get me on a bike. Better to support improved mass transit.
Well, in the nature vs. nurture debate I'm not really interested in taking a side; I want to figure out the truth. I'm relatively certain that it's a split. I just want to caution against a common human bias in favor of nurture, which this article seems to be affected by.
Eh, they just need to invent that fingerprint refresher from Men in Black.
I uncovered the whole story after hearing Süssmayr on radio accidentally. It sounded so much like Mozart, but was clearly inferior. I didn't know it was S. until the host announced who it was. I started googling and found some research on requiem (though the piece on radio was S's own work). At least for me it finally explained why I never managed to listen to requiem in its entirety without getting bored, depending on the performance too, of course. It's all very subjective, but yes, everything Mozart touched is gold, and the rest is a matter of taste. Beethoven didn't like it, for example :)
I don't think your second meaning of the word is wide spread. Comprehensive is not expansive or all-encompassing. A single article can be comprehensive if it self-contained and complete.

The trail right along the shore is hard dirt, not quite asphalt, but passable. So that one is okay-ish.

But the connecting trail from SJ downtown along the creek towards the bay at some point changes from asphalt to literally a trough full of gravel. You'll lose a lot of speed there, no matter what kind of tires you're using.
Which is why great teams are formed by people who can see how their work will impact a greater goal, and can internalize that goal as being their own.
Apple would just pay the tab. So would Google. It wouldn't change anything.

If you're large enough to get allocations that huge, you're large enough to afford it.

Why is Apple a "wastrel" when it's building gigantic datacenters all over the place, yet MIT, who has an equal sized allocation for a university, is somehow fine?

It's not in Apple's interest to yield the block unless there's industry consensus and other companies and organizations with similar allocations are doing the same.
Thank you for the suggestions. One thing that is under development is filtering by more than one label https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/989 Many of the other items make sense as well.
Good points, but a minor pet peeve:

It's moot, not Chris. Maybe Chris Poole, but again, probably moot. Has been moot. Always will be moot.

Are you friends with him? Do you have lunch with him? Do you work with him? In all odds, no.

It's really quite annoying seeing people refer to people by the first names like they actually are familiar with them. Were you a fan of Steve? Ever go on walks with Zuck?

Seriously, it's so fucking phony--especially when the person in question already has a name they're well-known by in their community.

I've never visited the site, and really don't want to. So maybe I'm missing something, but why would you want to associate yourself with a place like that? It seems like even spending time there as an anonymous user would change your perception of the world for the worse. I see people post screenshots on Reddit sometimes and it seems pretty deviant.

I wouldn't necessarily argue with you, but what's funny is that exactly the opposite argument is used in London. Oh, people say, we can't put protected bike lanes in, it's a dense historic city and there isn't enough room.

Turns out (hooray) there is room, and the first major ones are going in as we speak. Where there's a will there's a way.
The local solution is to own two old run-down bikes and lock them at either station. You still run a risk of theft or damage, but the investment is not that big.

> Speaking of holes, the SEP has a rather detailed entry on the topic of holes, and it rather nicely illustrates one of Wikipedia’s key shortcomings. Holes present a tricky philosophical problem, the SEP entry explains: A hole is nothing, but we refer to it as if it were something......If you ask Wikipedia for holes it gives you the young-adult novel Holes and the band Hole.

This is plain dishonest. Wikipedia has dozens of pages on holes, some of which are cultural items and the author cherry-picked two in order to make his point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holes

Moreover, the SEP's description of a hole is so arrogant and condescending it's painful:

> Naive, untutored descriptions of the world treat holes as objects of reference, on a par with ordinary material objects....

Spare me.
You don't.

I worked at a place with biometric hand geometry scanners, same deal pretty much. Technically it was two black boxes, the dumb reader couldn't open doors directly and supposedly stored no data locally in case someone smashed and stole it, or smashed and shorted the control wires (I believe it was RS-485 line level protocol WRT wiring) and a black box inside the secured area that contained our biometric hash data, logs, and a normally closed relay that could toggle and unlock the door when it felt like it.

Anyway if the protocol and connection between the two black boxes could be monitored without breaking the DMCA, then you could verify the box outside does hashing and only 24 bits of data or whatever transport to the other black box that unlocks, rather than entire hand pix. Assuming there's no ATM-skimmer grade camera taped on the scanner recording the geometry of every hand for later abuse.

The nature of security theater or snake oil is apparently unfixable failure modes don't indicate lack of effort or knowledge, they indicate the product sucks.
Actually I have heard/read that it gets more common in very late stage (near-IPO) financing rounds as well. For example, when a company is expected to IPO in the next 12-18 months but needs some more cash runway, there are funds that specialize in providing this type of "bridge loan" financing, which often comes in the form of preferred stock with heavy liquidation prefs.
>1. Make an e-reader with a beautiful e-paper screen capable of displaying full color.

Color drains battery life. Let this be a 2nd/3rd gen thing. Few books will take advantage of full illustrations. This, however, can be huge for children's books.

>2. Make the screen refresh very quickly

From my hardly-ever-use of a few e-readers. Is this really a problem?

>3. Give it sensible touch gestures that you never accidentally trigger, and give it very useful physical buttons.

Physical buttons are a dying out thing and a signal of you being part of an older generation. ;) The people I speak to hate physical buttons. While I also love actual, physical buttons, it's a dying fashion over touch.

>4. Make sure it can do everything a book can do. Can you quickly thumb through a 500 page novel on a kindle? Nope. Can you easily write something in the margin? Nope. Can you bookmark your current reading position, and also earmark a few other favorite spots in the book? Nope.

This needs entirely specialized/new software. DRM also limits the usefulness of such features. Adding a highlighting/favorites feature akin to Slack that you can easily browse on a per-book level would be a huge jump forward.

>5. Give it a non-tech appearance. Make the damn thing out of wood.

People want flashy. Make it shiny, not wood-like. Even books aren't wood-like tomes. Additional cases/skins/stickers are for personalization, not the form-factor itself.

>6. Sell it in 3 sizes from day 1: The current standard paperback-ish size, as well as a smaller smartphone-sized one, and finally a large one, like ~15 inches.

Two words: production costs. E-books and e-readers need to be popular before this can be a thing. Or huge, risk-taking investments need to occur. Which is unlikely.

> ...an "eslisp-html"-macro that compiles to an HTML-templating function... Here's the gist of it so far ... What do you think?

Interesting! Similar to Scheme templates:

(let* ((admintype (...))
...
(htm (htdoc
`(html
(head
(meta (@ title "My site")))
(body
(div (@ class "banner")
(img (@ class "logo" src "logo.gif"
title ,(get-curr-url))) ...

Basically it just sets up variables for use in the let* scope, and calling the htdoc procedure that parses the quasiquoted list, returning the prepared html as a string (written to the client-connected socket).

The htdoc proc is surprisingly simple, and I've implemented it in other Lispy languages without much trouble. I'd be real interested to try it in Eslisp once I'm familiar enough with it.

> Property access can be sugared to "this.evaluate" with the eslisp-propertify macro ... Is that what you mean?

Possibly. I need to learn it more thoroughly.

Of course I realize the "(. id1 id2 ...)" form expands to object notation. My comment just reflected that to me the leading dot expression looks "noisy", a bit distracting.

In Scheme, identifiers can contain punctuation like ".", so "this.evaluate" could name a procedure, macro, etc. To my eyes, "(this.evaluate)" is visually easier to parse. In my head, the string "this.evaluate" looks like an atom that expands to the operator this.evaluate(), which I think is what it means.

I'm sure I'll get used to the notation as it is, this is just my immediate impression. However, mildly "sugaring" the representation might make it more accessible, especially to people not already enlightened by and in awe of the magic of s-expr.

Edit: getting the code section to look like code...
It's a common event for assessed fines to be too low to deter behavior (in expectation). Maybe they thought that the fine/risk profile didn't exceed the potential gain?

I know there have been several occasions (especially when it comes to banks) I've heard about a fine and mentally reckoned that it would be too low to make the behavior unprofitable.

It's still an open question whether the actual fine they end up paying will wipe out the benefit.

Fair enough, I would ride Remington to Bernardo, up to Heatherstone and then along Heatherstone to the trail entrance.

We may have a different definition of protected, I think of the lanes on Remington as protected but they are created by striping, not curb work, so it isn't like there is a lane all to itself.

There are two main advantage of ASCII approach. The first one is that vectors weight is not very big and you can build relatively small matrix that easy to store and faster to use. The second one is that usual encoding alternatives give a vary sparse vectors and as a consequence there would a big number of negative values (because we encode 0 as -1 value) inside the weight. For instance, if you have something encoded as 1 (word, letter or anything like that) with a big number of zeros (which would be encoded as -1 value in Discrete Hopfield network) that would be very unlikely to see the same ones at the same place multiple number of times and after some number of iterations negative values will reduce value encoded as 1 inside of memory and these -1 values would be as a dominant value for specific pattern.
I'm sure you appreciate the other side of that argument – that organisations should not be able to advertise medical devices and services without demonstrating that the results are accurate.

The idea that a medical services company and an individual consumer are on the same footing doesn't carry much weight for me. One of the obvious solutions is for a state body to set a standard for what accuracy is required in order to make medical services available; this is a pretty ideologically coherent attempt to address the fundamental inequality there.

I'm happy to hear an argument that the FDA over-regulates, or that other regulatory approaches could be more beneficial. But a complete free-for-all invites a return to the days of snake-oil patent medicines – and I don't think that's something anybody wants to see.

What do you call "tech"?

From your profile, you work at the "CNAG DNA sequencing centre in Barcelona", so you know that Google and MS aren't really doing cutting edge work on that area of technology, compared to, say, UC Santa Cruz.

However, you are are a Django developer, so the things you are interested in are more aligned with the types of things that Google and MS work on. Perhaps there's a bias in what you consider to be 'tech'?

I've often linked Chris Poole's approach to this with Matt Haughey at Metafilter. I can remember being amazed at how well mathowie moderated metafilter with a remarkably light touch and yet still set the tne of the site. Moot was less keeping the users in line than keeping the rest of the world out but their ability to not interfere at times when I think most of us would want to say or do something is an incredible skill.
London has a long-standing culture issue because, for decades, the only way to get across the city safely by bike has been to ride aggressively.

You say "you can't just go from 0 to 60". That applies to bike culture too. As the segregated lanes are put in, London's cycling culture will become calmer, just as it is in Copenhagen or the best Netherlands cities.
YC Sam Altman: I’m an Optimist, but I’m Not Optimistic About Government
There was a time when simply having a .net domain, which was free to register, entitled you to a free Class B /16 allocation.

If you were a company with any degree of credibility, it wasn't too hard to petition for a Class A allocation, /8. Apple and MIT managed.

Then CIDR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing) came along and we had more than three sizes to offer, which really eased up on the crazy allocations.

All those /8 allocations created chaos in the routing tables. Now they're usually sub-allocations from larger blocks which makes the routing tables much more orderly. Anything in the 192.x.x.x range was once called "the swamp" since it was full of so many routes.
I don't think anybody's out to shit on the original engineers.

That the decisions they made at the time made sense doesn't make them any less regrettable in retrospect.

Either way, it's a pointless argument anyways. There is no point to fixing those allocations because if you could snap your fingers and efficiently allocate IPv4 address today, we'd still be out and still have to switch to IPv6.
