when first i saw this post(o) i fleshed out a concept that did something similar

the 'engine' in this case was a transpiler that took my scripting language and wrote, and compiled if necessary, code for complex algorithms with simple parts simultaneously into whatever languages i implemented

it would do a lookup of an on disk copy of this document, ideally normalised but i only implemented two languages so the data was already agreeably normal, to determine how the output code should be implemented

i only had it writing in python and c, doing: if statements, for and while loops, unoptimised typing, basic operators; before i realised i was having too much fun on altering the engine to tweak the resultant code than doing the algo work that i set out to do

but each time i think 'i should look into such and such language', i muse on digging up that old commit

as a fun aside, workaround to languages' different approaches to memory each of the output programs utilised an array as a faux stack that could handle object implements with an accompanying algo that could take the stack and read from or write to valid, though a subset of, json

There's something wrong these days with version argumentations and reasoning.

TypeScript is version 1.6, which was released when Node was 0.12 and includes React 0.13 support of JSX files.

So I'm not sure anyone puts a reason behind version numbers anymore.
> There are a few YC technical founders who were fired by their non-tech co-founders for rather flimsy culture reasons.

Is the reverse Zuckerberg a thing now? Can you share perhaps one example?
Interesting you draw the Knockout comparison. I'm pretty new to React, but have done a fair amount with Knockout. I find that I use the two in very similar ways. I know knockout has a large feature set and claims to be a VMMV (whatever that means), but in practice I used it mostly to go between some dynamic JSON and DOM.
I don't see those issues either, OTOH I have a tendency to stick with specific subreddits of interest to me.

I've never viewed reddit as a community, but as a community of communities, and I've always chosen to be a part of specific communities, ignore others, and stay the hell away from yet others.

I don't go anywhere near /r/politics or /r/programming, for example. I just can't deal with the people in either. But I love me some /r/cpp and /r/startrek.

The culture that exists between companies and founders in YC seems a better measurement of YC's success than the culture that exists inside any one of those companies. They run YC after all, not the companies themselves.

I have seen some difficult divorces between founders (with various combinations of technical and non-technical), and although some might suggest that YC should arbitrate those disputes more proactively, I think their policy of being willing to talk things through but not vote their shares is the right balance for their relationship with the companies.

But YC's success at fostering a positive, supportive culture between companies makes me quite optimistic that they can create a great environment when it's their responsibility.
Yes! People have been asking for this for literally years (and I want it too). For various reasons it has been difficult to do, but now we are very close. So look for it soon.

What plan did the executives produce that would see the worker's being laid-off being ok? I'd guess that France has some type of forced severance or decent unemployment insurance scheme, but did the executives pretty much just dump their (now former) employees onto the street with nothing?

How long had those employees worked there? Is management really so incompetent that they can't plan for and manage such a scenario without having to cut off life support to thousands of their former colleagues?
This is fantastic. Addresses the completely broken aspects of doing research in academia, gives researchers access to top developers through the YC network, gives you a much better environment stress and pay-wise than if you're a researcher, and focuses on meaningful innovation. And the research will be free to use. Nailed it in so many aspects.

@sama - since you mention that startups aren't good at solving certain types of problems, is this something you've always believed, or is it a realisation through your work at YC?

Also was it inspired by the Shuttleworh Fundation in any way?
That mechanism wouldn't work very well though, because it's a situation with low risk, where it's hard to prove who caused the harm, and even when you do, the damages are so high, the injury won't be restored: For instance, if an influenza outbreak, that we assumed was caused by a set of 5 people in a school contracting the disease, and that killed 10 people, would not lead to multi million dollar payouts to the families of those that died, because chances are, there are no millions of dollars to give. So the compensation will not be any good.

Therefore, all you have left is deterrent, but really, do you think an anti vaxxer would care about going bankrupt, vs their perceived chance of their kid getting autism? I'd be very surprised if it provided any deterrent at all.

The site indicates things are public domain. That sounds pretty libre to me. Is that not really the case for the underlying media?
Is this more targeted at semi-cofounders/early-employees that fall by the wayside (like Aaron Swartz, poor soul) or is the plan hiring top researchers (the way Google got Hal Varian and Peter Norvig)?
I was hoping to answer questions here for awhile but I'm getting pulled into a crisis so I have to go.

I'm going to do an AMA on HN later this week (mostly to answer questions about applying to YC) and would be happy to answer more questions about YCR then.
I'm sure they are, to a degree, but if we're at all thinking about starting to replace wide swaths of our vehicles with autonomous ones over the next few decades, a wider scale test site, with things like a freeway and off ramps (from the picture), seems like it would be necessary.
This sounds fantastic; I'm so glad to see it.

I'm curious what areas of research will be chosen, and how. I wonder if there is any room for a voting style 'the community would like to see resources put behind this idea' decision making process. (On the other hand, its not the community's money, so do what you will :)).

I'm guessing all of this will be in the Bay Area?

It'd be great if there was a way for regular folks to help out with this. It seems to be something genuinely intended to help people and I'd love to contribute in some way.
In my experience, MSR researchers publish openly just like people in "regular" academia. I think the main difference is that they are better paid.

We have anonymous cloud save now for DuckDuckGo settings, which is sort of like this already: https://duckduckgo.com/settings -- for example, you can set a language or region setting.

I think more generally you're right privacy is about control and choice, as I tried to explain in https://medium.com/life-learning/privacy-is-at-a-crossroads-...
What you've described is pretty similar to Flux or one of its variants. The main difference would be that instead of managing state inside of the root component via setState, you have an external state ("store"), which would handle the state logic and provide the appropriate values as props to the root component. So yes, it sounds like you're doing it "right".

The same could be said about both of those sites. Main subs have their share of filth but it's not only those things. There are some very racist and morally challenged subs but I wouldn't conclude all of reddit is like that.
Misunderstood the rules initially...at first I thought you lost if you ran out of pieces on your half, but that just ends the game. The value of the pieces you capture is all that matters.

> verbal violence

Is not a thing, you mean verbal abuse. equating verbal abuse with physical abuse doesn't make your point genuine, what it does is cause those of us who employ critical thinking to disregard your opinions as those of an unreasonable person.

Words can be important, but you cannot try to manipulate language in order to alter reality without alienating a lot of people from your cause.
I don't see it that way.

For example, I could make my own wine and beer at home, for my own personal use but I can't sell it without accepting government oversight.
I'm confused.. why would you need a KCL app with Firehose (for reading or writing)?
Compared to marginal cost.

There are companies offering prices much more similar to cost, for example:

- DigitalOcean offers 1TB traffic with $5/month instances = 0.005 $/GB

Have you tried a Macbook Pro in the last few years? I agree most (if not all) Windows laptops' trackpads are unusable, but I've always liked Apple's.

Many Windows OEMs maintain their cheaper-than-Apple status by optimizing the things people compare (gigahertz, RAM capacity, HDD capacity) and putting in the cheapest shit possible on the rest (pixel density, keyboards, cases, hinges, and especially trackpads).
I'm sorry if my comment seemed condescending, but it is a sad fact that many people learned Perl only by reading code and looking up small bits and pieces they don't immediately grok (instead of turning towards and consuming, complete and well-written learning resources both in the perldoc references and books) and then walk away with completely skewed impressions and share them with the world at large.

I wish i had a more polite way of pointing this out when people make complaints, but i have not found one yet. Maybe you have a suggestion?
Why is that distinction important?
Everyone wants freedom of speech until it become uncomfortable.

Did it? Or did it originate from the idea that it is immoral to react violently to noises coming out of somebody's face hole? By violence I mean real violence, not verbal violence, the kind of violence that a free society uses to control the activities of its members... hmm - that doesn't sound right at all.

Try running that benchmark again on a table that already contains 500M records. I'm quite sure you'll see different numbers. Another problem you'll run into is reading back those records, and performing aggregations and window functions on your data.

We dogfood it obsessively internally. Have found it extremely frictionless on the sharing side.

Two ways to share:

1. For an internal use case, you can native "@-tag" any other user. https://www.domo.com/product/domobuzz

2. For an external sharing use-case, you can share a slideshow. Live example (fake data): https://modocorp.domo.com/link/rFgvIVi32QpwmthO

Why not give YC a 7% ownership of the IP and YC the other 93%. That would definitely drive the more entrepreneurial scientists to work there and also allow YC to monetize products out it's own research.

> You have no right to be protected from getting sick...

Conversely, you have no right to infect other people (this is a unconsented harm inflicted on others, the most basic thing that is a violation of rights.) To the extent that doing so is neither intentional, reckless, nor negligent, you also shouldn't be held responsible to prevent doing so -- the question with mandatory vaccination largely boils down to whether failing to use particular vaccinations without a special medical reason is such a failing of a duty of care.
But who gets to own the IP ?

Thanks for the thoughts!

The initial offering will be pretty sandboxed from the rest of the production toolchain; I'm aiming for an MVP with the simple goal of "sketch music quickly". So there won't be much to offer in terms of interacting with other software.

After that, however, anything is up for grabs. Eventually, I'd love to add features that would make it an invaluable music production tool, not just a note-taking app. Under the hood, each instrumental layer in my app has a set of "traits" (volume, vibrato, expression, etc.) that get matched to the appropriate settings in the output instrument if they exist. Only the settings that exist in the output instrument are used; the rest are ignored. For the time being, these traits are only used internally for the built-in MIDI synth. But if I'm understanding you correctly, this means that it should be pretty simple to add arbitrary traits for outside instruments. And eventually, when I add Audiobus and/or MIDI-out support, it should be possible to play the track directly through the synth! (But that's a bit into the future... need to focus! Need to focus!)

Thanks for the guitar solo tips, I will definitely be using some of those!

> I'm upset because I walk into a hall called "videos" or "worldnews" and see people throwing around stereotypes of women and minorities with great prejudice behind their words

These subreddits are big enough that their userbases are converging toward a statistically-normal sampling of the world population. To the degree to which the world contains prejudiced people, so will large subreddits. To the degree to which the world contains groups that venerate prejudice, prejudiced comments on large subreddits will be upvoted.

The big difference between a large subreddit, and the world-at-large, is that the majority cannot hang the implicit threat of mob violence over a disliked minority. In the world-at-large, disliked minorities usually meet in secret because they fear what would happen if they were outspoken in the presence of the majority. On a subreddit, there is no such fear to throttle behavior. As long as that fact remains true, large open online communities will always be outspoken-minority cesspools.

It's not a full framework like those. It's a View layer library.

Basically it controls everything about views.

totally agreed on that post (its one I've read before) - i think a consumer truly having control (I'd even envision a dashboard where you could give or retract access to your data instantly) is what would be most helpful for the consumer to truly take more care into what is happening in their lives as the physical digital worlds quickly merge into one.

That said, I'd also love to see a google apps like product from DDG that could really compete but promise not to sell my company's info or use it for useless ads and general spam
I'm a born LISP programmer who also happens to know too much about perl. Eric has some points, but not too many.

Javascript would fare much worse than perl with these arguments. It is far more dynamic, far more unregular and produces even worse code than perl5.
See e.g. http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/javascript/excerpts/javascr...

perl is kind of a lisp - much more than javascript - with some clojure like features, like shorter hash and array syntax.

> If someone got sick because you weren't vaccinated, does that not imply that they were also not vaccinated?

Vaccines are not 100% effective, and, in any case, even if they aren't, they may have a real medical reason for not vaccinating: a large part of the reason for efforts to achieve universal vaccination among those who don't have a special medical condition making vaccination unavoidable is herd immunity; the effect that reducing the rates of infection reduces the risks from vaccine failure in those who do vaccinate, and reduces the risk of exposure in those who legitimately cannot vaccinate.
