The other reason blaming Muslims is weird is that Muslims are overwhelmingly the victims of fundamentalist attacks and not the perpetrators.
This sounds like a scrappy side project, not a company. Why did you work on getting insurance, getting incorporated, any of that, and why didn't you wait to do that until you had something with validation or growth?

Depending on a 'cultural shift' sounds incredibly dubious, and IMO sounds like you all don't really know what you are doing. I would walk away and take these lessons out of it, reflect some more, and take a sharper approach for the next project.

What kind of equity do you have currently?

However remember that the equity is worth nothing if the cofounder doesn't believe you deserve the equity. He can just start a new company. Maybe you can sue him, but that would be idiotic at that stage.

The smartest thing is to just walk away, to the next venture and forget about this. There isn't probably much to gain.

The concept of "curvature of space" is obvious nonsense because curvature is measured with respect to space.

This is not really true. If you take a flat two dimensional space, a sheet of paper, this space has no intrinsic curvature. You surely now imagine this sheet of paper laying flat on a table in front of you embedded in our usual three dimensional space. Now pick it up and role it to form a cylinder. This gives extrinsic curvature to the space, curvature in the space the sheet is embedded in. But the sheet has still no intrinsic curvature, if you were a two dimensional creature living on the sheet you can not tell whether it is laying flat on the table or is rolled up to a cylinder, at least ignoring the fact that the cylinder connects two opposite edges of the space.

The surface of the earth on the other hand has intrinsic curvature, angles of triangles don't add up to 180 degrees for example. And this intrinsic curvature is a feature of the space not of the embedding into a higher dimensional space. It is not easy to visualize if possible at all, but spaces can have intrinsic curvature independent or even without an embedding, our three dimensional space can be curved without being embedded in a higher dimensional space and the same of course holds for space-time.

The 21 Bitcoin Computer is meant to be a general purpose "dev kit" for Bitcoin, it's not just a wallet. Think of it like a microcontroller dev kit: they are large PCBs, with I/O pins, LEDs, flash, ram, and all the peripherals to cover most needs for most projects. The 21 Bitcoin Computer is the equivalent: it has hardware for mining, for just acting as a Bitcoin relay node, and for acting as a wallet.

You still get that in machine learning projects - you make some change, launch the re-training of the models and see the result next day, or in an hour, or in a week; and only then you know if the change was actually beneficial.
The Raspberry Pi 2 is a great candidate for that. I'm running OpenELEC and it streams IPTV, music from a NAS server I have at home, links from my phone - and the performances are fine.

Also, adding an "catch all" is usually not recommended in Erlang (even though it's good for some things), so most of the time you would do just: foo(bar) -> void.
And then let it crash if the value is something else than expected.

oh and they want us to run TLS now for all SSH and SSL/HTTPS?

gentlemen this is government crypto.

even the head of W3C published an article saying this is not https. its only being labeled https. [what is the definition of subversion?]

IMHO: whats needed is two choices for HTTPS. and seperate crypto for SSH. also if they would freeze TLS for at least 3-6 months it could give Language/Library authors time to audit there code (and prove tls is not so buggy it needs a new version every week)

Don't forget Tesla did this with some of their earlier Model S's. Preventing use of the full battery capacity on cheaper versions. It's obviously standard practice in all commercial software too. The whole idea of selling software depends on restricting how people use it - at the very least - not allowing them to copy it and give it away. The marginal cost of producing software is zero so you can't make money only charging for that. Probably the marginal cost of producing a welder is lower than they total cost too, so they need to recover it somehow.

Of course when you buy a Miller welder, you're paying for the brand name so you're not too concerned about price. Get any cheap Chinese one instead and you'll get the features are a "fair" price but without feeling so good about yourself.

Genuinely - thank you for your careful reply, it is appreciated.

I don't think I believe that climate change is adversarial, and I really get the tragedy-of-the-commons aspect. Perhaps "knowing criminal negligence" is a better fit than "adversarial".

That said, perhaps from the perspective of victims/friends/families of terrorism/climate change/etc, I suspect that it may not make all that much difference if they were the victims of some adversarial action, or the victims of the predictable yet semi-randomised results of negligence.

I get your point about a failure of our ability to protect ourselves. I think the lesson here is not to try to completely protect ourselves (by yielding to increasingly oppressive government surveillance), as complete protection is not possible. It is particularly hard to defend oneself against, while preserving some pretence of civilisation/democracy/rule of law, against people who are willing to die in order to kill you.

I think the real lesson here is to understand that we, and our society, and our civilisation, are all mortal, and will die some day, perhaps sooner than we think, and there is nothing we can do about it. We are not in control. This lesson is perhaps a hard one to internalise. I am not sure I internalise it. There's some more words by someone more eloquent than I here: [1]

What I mean is that decision trees are not seen as optimising a function so it doesn't make much sense to think of them as finding optima, or getting stuck in sub-optima (if I may).

That's the traditional view. I guess it's always possible to see decision trees as optimising a binary function, but that's probably to be filed under "original research". Or maybe not- I'm not sure.

In any case, I've never heard of anyone worried that a tree learner would get stuck anywhere. The concern is usually with overfitting.
>> It is that spacetime which is curved rather than just space.

I agree completely with this (and have said as much in the past --https://www.reddit.com/r/cosmology/comments/2zy19s/bowling_b...) but

> The concept of "curvature of space" is obvious nonsense

This is emphatically not correct. Space can be curved without being embedded in a higher "meta-space". You can have a 2D surface that is curved as if it were the surface of a sphere without it actually being on an actual 3D sphere -- it just has to "connect up" the right way and have "parallel" lines bend towards each other and so on. Ditto in more dimensions.
We all appreciate proper orthography, but please don't flag a story for that reason. You should flag if the article itself is bad or off-topic for HN.

Yeah, you can take away everything you've learnt from it (which in itself is a valuable thing) but you're unlikely to get the business in a form that's worth the trouble.

I agree with the sentiment here, you spent a year and you learnt a lot out of it. Your co-founder would probably have to put in more money (maybe for a few more years) before she sees any profit, if any. So the risk is far greater on her side.

If this works, ask your co-founder to let you keep a small minority stake and the let her convert all her debt to equity.

This way, if that company does succeed, you will get some value out of it, and you will be recognized as a co-founder. If you just walk away with the "assets" (whatever they are worth), you may get some money, but a load of heartburn.

Oh wow. I can imagine a virtual world that is a physical datacenter but you can see all your servers on racks as if they were real servers, add in appliances and other things. Not sure how practical it would be, but sounds pretty fun. Own your entire virtual datacenter.

So each server on the rack would be linked to a virtual server on a provider, maybe if you use S3 be able to visualize all your storage as if it was a physical storage cluster in your own datacenter. Be pretty awesome, but not sure if it'd be more of a novelty.
I am a physicist...

The most interesting (to me, at any rate) bit of this article are susskind's observations on computational complexity. As a precocious undergrad I put forward the idea that gravity and time dilation were the same thing, and both stemmed from the universe needing a constant amount of "time" to compute the interrelations between the particles in a volume of space - and if there were more particles more time would be needed as the graph of particle interactions would grow non-linearly - and therefore time "slows down" in a matter (information) dense area of spacetime.

What really got me gunned down was then going on to argue that this suggested a simulated universe, running in a substrate.

Either way, interesting to see someone else who actually has some clout having similar ideas.
Here's the credible citation:

http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9605002

(It's ironic, BTW, that you should complain that my citation is "not even a journal paper" when yours isn't either.)

And BTW2, Aaronson's blog post doesn't contradict my position. The Bell inequality violations are indeed real. They just aren't caused by "spooky action at a distance." They are caused by the classical correlations that arise when you trace over the quantum wave function of the universe in order to isolate a subsystem.

And BTW3, I actually did submit that paper to Physics Today back in the day. It was rejected, not because it was wrong, but because it wasn't anything new. (It's amazing how the Physics world bifurcates into two camps: those who think that the connection between entanglement and measurement is common knowledge, and those who adamantly deny that it is true.)
Web Hosting Jargon
No. Collapse doesn't actually happen. Collapse is an approximation to the truth. It's a very (very!) good approximation for systems with a large number of mutually entangled degrees of freedom, but it is an approximation nonetheless. See the links I pointed to earlier to understand why.
Changing Facebook Photos to the Earth
SNI is the "server_name" extension in the ClientHello message, which is not encrypted. So no, looks like there are no changes to this in TLS 1.3.

Theoretically it could be possible to encrypt it (using DHE) before server validation occurs (i.e. before the server's RSA certificate is needed). However, it would rigorously change the protocol and I can imagine it would make some load balancing applications a lot more complicated as well.
You're free to share or not, but if you decide to do so, the recipents are free to say whether or not you're being an asshole because of the way you're sharing. That's how I see market segmentation - douchy behaviour. It's purposefully creating waste and/or artificially limiting the value you give to customer in order to profit more.

That is indeed cool! Seems extremely handy and intuitive.

Walk away and heal your wounds.

You know the saying "experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"? You didn't throw away 1 year on this project, you learned valuable lessons. Just make sure you do learn them, then time is not wasted. Been there.

Maybe it's too soon for this advice, but still: next time try making something that doesn't require cultural shift, because, let's face it - you won't be the one who will cause it. Cultural shift is something you can anticipate and help with, but it's not up to a single person to do it. You could just as easily say "I have something people don't want".

The real question is whether you feel obliged to return some of her debts (there is a difference between time and cash). Other than that, forget the brand, forget equity (it's not worth anything and it won't be in the future unless she pivots - and that has nothing to do with you anyway). Move on. The faster you do it the better chance you have of starting something better. And try to learn from the experience. What went wrong? How can you avoid it in future projects?

Best of luck.

Very informative, and I would agree with this. A car dashboard seems complicated when you get into a car, but after you have had lessons, the car is a great tool. Nobody seems to be arguing that the cockpit needs simplification, yet in the computing industry (as you state) everything is dumbed down to etch-a-sketch simplicity for fear of alienating new users.

Mixing consoles also look complicated to a first-time user but I don't think anyone would argue that they need simplification.

Interestingly, Apple News app on the iPad uses cards and a simple layout, yet seems to work well and with no stuttering. This cannot be said for Google+ (and no, I don't want to join communities, stop showing them to me).

Klong – a simple array language
For coding I find that 45m work with 15m breaks (and a 30m long break) work better as you have enough time to get into a problem, and just enough of a break after to send some emails / browse HN, etc.

The overall work ratio is lower (75% vs ~83%)
but it's hard to put an qualitative efficiency metric when programming anyway so I'm not so worried.

This ratio also worked super well when writing my dissertation - the 5m break never felt like enough of a reward after.

(there is also a great Pomodoro extension for Gnome if you're running Linux).
"Extrinsic curvature" is normally called just "curvature". "Intrinsic curvature" isn't normally called anything because it has minimal relevance to everyday life. If you talk about "curvature of space" the natural assumption is that you mean extrinsic curvature.

If you buy a computer, this has never been true. You only get a license to use the software that comes with it and not complete freedom to do what you want. For example, you can't copy Windows off your computer on to your friend's. You're even restricted in making backup copies for yourself. We've been happy to accept that restriction since the invention of copyright. A guy in his basement with no connection to the outside world has always been able to break the law by pressing the wrong sequence of keys on his computer. DRM circumvention law is just an extension of those restrictions, not a quantitatively new thing.

So I think we already call this "selling a computer" or "selling a CD" or "selling a phone" and should get used to what "selling a welder" seems to mean now too.

I do kind of wonder what does and doesn't count as circumventing though. Can you pull out the transformer and connect your own homemade controller to it? What if you reuse the same power electronics too? What if you also reuse the same computer but put your own software on it? Can you even unplug the handle and plug it into another welder that has different capabilities?

We all know that how true he is what he said. But How? How do you find what you love to do?

Below I have tried to articulate what I think is right. In my point of view, Basically two ways you can put some effort at to find out the best in you:
