I think that as tech people, we often give up working on meaningful products for money, when in fact, that's exactly why we're not getting money. It's risk aversion repackaged as prioritizing money.

The people writing Emacs Lisp macros are also working on complex Common Lisp or OCaml applications in very high end jobs, and making far more money than the people who are playing these "disrupting" games. Most people in startups work a few years for stock that ends up being worthless when the company goes under, and programmers tend to get hit the worst with this because they give all the short-term-profit to glorified secretaries on the business side of the business.

This wouldn't probably work. You have to consider that some browsers (eg. Chrome) save the CC data, so you don't have to type them. This validation step would block legit customers from buying what they want.

Also, bots can run on real browsers simulating real humans using infected PCs as proxy so that their IP addresses result on the same country/state of the real customer.

Economical crisis are recognizable by the fact people tends to announce "infinite energy source", "cheap energy", or "perpetual movement" finally made true.

It is very interesting that while NASA that has been a clear "cache nez" during cold war to mask the use of nazis scientists and technologies for the USA they are now having a problem: space programs are considered to costly for their return other investment. Especially when you know the budget of ESA for rosetta/philae mission compared to NASA's budget.

Being on the grill, NASA is lobbying for even more costly mission to mars and support their own propaganda (intestallar, alone on mars...).

And now, miracle, they have an opportunistic new technology that could help achieve "cheap easy journey" to far away distance.

I can't help to be a little suspicious. The timing is so perfect.

And as numerous comments are spotting there is no new technology until we can explain the causation. Because that is how science work: experiments should be consistent with theory, and vice-versa. Else this is religion or philosophy.

Maybe emDriver could be the proof God exists, but it is not likely. Well, if it existed, and since we would have a physical place where to search I would kill it anyway. I hate Gods, I prefer to drive my own destiny without a "père/mère fouettard(e)" looking upon my shoulder like a stalker.
> Essentially, the wealthy have come around to the idea as seeing the poor and middle classes and resources to be exploited, like a coal mine, by offloading their tax burdens onto them.

"Come around to"? That's the central essence of capitalism, for which it was criticized by the socialists who put the name "capitalism" on it in the 19th century.
I love Jet.com

Great prices, at least after their recent 20% discount. Got (5 cases!) cat food for less then it would cost locally and it gets delivered right to the door!

I can't imagine they made any money off me. I might even be a 'loss leader'.

Deforestation was happening in the 1600s and 1700s and required the stopping of many saw mills.

I just say this because humanity really did horrible environmental things throughout our history. For example the ceders of Lebanon being completly cut down by 800 BC and the deforestation of Israel during the crusades which never came back.

I think it worth mentioning that setting up networking in Kubernetes is largely a problem for deployers - not so much k8 users.

There are a variety of hosted, virtualized and bare metal solutions available.

The CoreOS folks have some nice all-in-one VMs if you want to experiment.

Google's hosted Container engine is about as simple as it gets - and very inexpensive (I have been playing with it for a few weeks and have spent about $20).

Yea, there are 2 year and 4 year RN programs.

RN = registered nurse. To be an RN you have to pass nursing boards, and then you are registered to practice nursing in the state(s) you work in.

There are two year and four year programs to get your RN - the two year programs are an associates degree, 4 years are a bachelor's (BSN - bachelor's of science in nursing).

Most hospitals are trying or would like to try to phase out hiring nurses who only have associate's degrees, but supply and demand (and maybe unions in some states) have prevented that from getting too far.

Of course, on top of this, some areas also have LPNs (licensed practical nurses). These people usually also have an associates degree, but they haven't taken the RN boards. They are closer to RNs than aides or CNAs, but don't have quite the same scope of practice as an RN.

And then you have DNPs (doctors of nursing practice) who are similar but not equivalent to PAs :)

The set of regulations around different healthcare professions is really quite interesting. You have some relatively standard set of professions, but each state does licensure and scope of practice a little differently, so you end up with a huge matrix of what you can and can't do depending on your title and location. Unions will sometimes add their own restrictions on top of this.

Pretty different from the world of software engineering, where there's no real licensure or certification and anything goes.
There is a cross-platform CLI (based on Node.js), which runs on OS X and Linux as well as Windows - I don't specifically know if it has commands for opening ports though. There's information and links at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xpl... if you want to check it out.
Its not the case because its unlikely that the technology will be adopted everywhere, simultaneously, overnight; it will be adopted gradually over time; it'll probably first manifest in the job market as a decline in growth in trucking jobs, then a decline in trucking jobs, rather than going from the existing pattern one day to no humans working as truckers the next.
This is huge.
Thanks! We've tried to do a bunch of iteration on user experience, obviously more to do. Fast iteration and unit/automated tests have been key to being able to build this product.
Pfft, easier said than done, which is the critical problem.

My experience is that voting in every election and writing your politicians does nothing. Contributing to their campaigns does nothing, because you don't contribute nearly enough to matter. Protesting in the streets does nothing; nobody cares, and then the cops stop you from protesting. Raising awareness does nothing, everyone is aware of the largest problems. Organizing the public does nothing; they are powerless. Reducing apathy does nothing; refer to the inability to do anything even when voting/writing/protesting. Rioting in the streets does nothing except ruin the areas people live in and make a strong backlash against whatever issue. The citizenry are fully disenfranchised from making changes.

I get it, I haven't tried starting a company to fix the USA's smorgasboard of problems yet. Maybe that's the ticket.

There's also the other problem of bad things being done in your name, even when you speak out. Millions of people protested the Iraq war, and look what we got for it. There is far too large of a disconnect between the public will and the government's execution of that will.

If you can stomach it, you'll really like "Meditations on Moloch", by the same author.

(Its readable description of multipolar traps is good, but I imagine it's hard to see at once if you haven't been following the author for a while. In any case, the AI connection at the end is tenuous.)
> It needs to be almost absolutely undeniable that this drive works, not a mere suspicion or curiosity.

But, see, if we follow the approach of the doubters here, we'll never get to almost absolutely undeniable evidence, because we won't bother to investigate it because of how improbable it is.

Look, people here are saying that an incomplete theory is possible - not certain, not even probable, just possible. It's happened twice in just over a century, so, yeah, not probable. But saying that it can't happen because the science is settled is, ironically, not a very scientific approach.

> But really, there's no point in declaring victory or defeat while the battle is still going.

Absolutely.
You know, I'd love to see the Windows UI and experience on top of a solid Unix API. In fact, they can easily implement a full Linux API on top of the Windows API. Sort of what Apple did with Mach/NeXT.

Microsoft could embrace and extend Linux and legitimize it.

That's the point, though. You're looking at it as a speculative investment, and proceeding accordingly, which is good. The OP is admonishing people to not treat bitcoin like a standard bank account (which is all too easy to do), but rather in the same terms as you already do.

Of course, someone who is able to socialize normally will function badly when stoned.

However, what this research opens the door to is using cannabis to allow people who function badly to function better.

The extra help you get from cannabinoids might push your body's natural barrier and allow you to function normally. If when you socialize you don't generate enough oxytocin to get positive renforcement, that extra boost might be what you need to allow your brain to send you that signal. The same things might be true with empathy and emotions for people who suffer from Alexithymia or similar issues.

You can't simply get randomly blazed to get health benefits. Dosage is the key. They don't tell sick people "take as much opium as you want, dude". They dose opium based medication carefully. It's the same things with cannabis.
My logic is always sell half, keep half. Less regret maybe.
I would say your statement is predominately false. Great developers can be found in most places, and even more if you don't require that everyone be together.
Self-reporting basically ruins any ability to draw any conclusions at all. I'm not so much dismissing the effects are true as I am dismissing that anyone is capable of self-reporting them in a way that is useful.

Give me a well-designed experiment showing these effects, I'll believe it. Until then, it's an old wive's tale told mainly by young potheads.
Similarly, I was struck by how much the older photos reminded me of Skellige in Witcher 3.
The internal ones, as I said. E.g. you can't write a drop-in replacement for logd, or even a reader of its files. IIRC systemd doesn't support non-kdbus dbus - or indeed older kernels at all.
It's more than just non-overlapping scenes. Most movies play very loose with time, drawing it out to make it seem more dramatic. See also: any movie with a bomb counting down to zero.
I thought the entire point was that you were paying as close to cost as possible and they made their money off subscription fees?
YC is not the VC industry as a whole. For one thing, it (like SV) skews much younger and much more consumer than VCs in general. There are plenty of VCs who invest mostly in B2B companies started by founders with domain expertise.

A lot of people are looking for such a community. I suspect the effect he discusses in the article -- only hyper-growth VC-backed ventures get attention -- means the rest of us hang out on podcasts, twitter, obscure forums, weird corners of the internet, and real life.

C++ and D aren't the kind of languages that get hype because they're the kind of languages that see serious use right away. If you're deep in the trenches writing C++ and/or D code, you don't have the time or the need to generate hype. You're getting actual work done. Things are different for languages like Ruby or Go. These were used more as flights of fancy for certain people, many of whom were not getting real work done. So they had time to write lengthy blog articles, make YouTube videos, host conferences, and write really weird and absurd tutorials. These are the kinds of things that generate hype. Hype is a product of everything but code; actual code is the anti-hype.

A good article, with a fine original title: "Feral Concurrency Control: An Empirical Investigation of Modern Application Integrity". Why did you change it to "Rail's lack of integrity"?
Why is it that the worst things always become the most popular? I mined my first bitcoin before it hit a dollar, so it's nothing against bitcoin, just as acknowledgement of the ridiculousness of the trend of cloud computing is nothing against the cloud itself. Why can't we get a fad that's reasonable for once?

I just don't get how people convert these specialized things that may help some companies sometimes into widespread hysteria, where every company feels like they have to go all in. Companies regularly take their basically-fine hardware offline so they can start renting the same or worse from Amazon, because then they can tell people that they're "in the cloud". I know one company that used to have all their stuff running on hardware and working pretty much fine. They switched to "the cloud" because they thought it was cool. They now pay Amazon the amount of money it'd take to re-buy all the hardware that used to run their site each and every month.

I should figure this out because if I can see one of these trends coming and time it right I could make a lot of money.
I do consider this to be important.

As for what I am doing, I have made lifestyle changes and support some organizations working to alleviate the issue.

> The article seems to make a lot of very dubious claims about Java.

I was also stumped by this confidence in that Go is supposed to be better than Java performance-wise and I do think that the claims warrant some proof.

However:

> Modern C++ ... would have been much more productive than go.

I'm not up to date on current C++, but this seems like a claim much like the ones you objected to. Could you elaborate on how C++ is a more productive language (in this case?)?

That may be a fair statement, since I do not believe there is a perfectly rational person in the real world - just those who are working to fight against their inherit irrationality. All we can ever rationally (oh, the irony) expect is that they do their best.
I found CoffeeScript clunky. I like how Opal has the js files in the same place as the views, much cleaner imho. This honestly maybe possible with the current sprockets but I have never found out how.
Is there seriously a list of HN flagged items somewhere? I fantasize about this often when I try to explain to friends how much quality content gets booted off of HN immediately these days. It's super heartbreaking and infuriating when they don't know what I'm talking about.

I don't disagree, and of course swapping out libc might be an extreme example, but my point still stands - ideally I shouldn't have to rely on any specific dependencies being in place to deploy my software.
I think the VC-less voices have been reasonably represented, at least here on HN. patio11 alone is a prominent presence around here (2nd user with most karma!) and a good example that one can succeed doing one's own thing without taking outside investment.

There's also idlewords, the people behind multiple podcasts (eg. Startup Success & Startups For the Rest of Us), and various well received one-person "Show HN"s.

There's plenty of idol adoration and boasting, but I've always felt an alternative was in plain sight if you didn't fit with the "VCistan".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the term "capitalism" originally coined as a synonym for "wealth" (and particularly conspicuous wealth)? The novelist who coined it was writing a satire, but its origin doesn't strike me as implying an intrinsic value judgment.
For me, it makes the entire chart unbelievable. For example, they separate out teachers into two groups. I find it unlikely that there is a bigger difference between high school and elementary school teaching than there is between installing (programming?) a PoS system than building a video game.

I assume the only reason for the teacher split is tthat they didn't want it to be the top job of every position.

I agree - the problem is that there are some problems at my work that I can probably solve by applying some concepts of ML. But I dont think I can do that through matlab.

I have been having a bad day on HN, so before I get misconstrued - there is nothing wrong with matlab. I was just hoping a go-to-production language like Java or Python for learning ML.
