I wonder what the latency is on the new chromecasts. I've heard it's about 10ms (just for display) but it would be worth testing with a stop watch app.
A Very Short History of Data Science
Second Spectrum - offices located in Los Angeles (HQ), Boston, and Shanghai

Player tracking data is transforming the sports experience, and Second Spectrum is at the forefront of this revolution. Leveraging unique capabilities in spatiotemporal pattern recognition and machine learning, we transform this data into highly specific and actionable analytics for professional teams, while enhancing storylines for broadcasters and creating new interactive experiences for all sports fans. Currently, we serve nearly half of NBA teams, and have media partnerships with ESPN and FOX, among others. We are also developing products across several other professional sports, including football, soccer, and baseball.

Our board and investors include top names in Silicon Valley and the sports/media world, including Steve Bornstein, former CEO of ESPN and NFL Network, David Hornik, Partner at August Capital, and Mark Stevens, former Partner at Sequoia Capital and board member of NVIDIA.

We are looking to fill a variety of engineering roles, in areas such as:

- Full stack

- UI / UX

- Dev-ops

- Machine learning

- Computer vision

The responsibilities range from sophisticated UI design that supports detailed but intuitive analytics - to front-end interfaces that will appear on national sports broadcasts - to scalable backend infrastructure that supports robust video streaming - to ML and CV engineering which enables the semantic layer to understand the game. Our software stack is based around Node, Go and Python, and we also use C++ for our video systems.

In addition to these roles, we are also looking for experienced mobile developers to help build out mobile applications on iOS and Android for a beta consumer product.

If you're interested in joining us, our jobs email is work@secondspectrum.com. I'm also available for any questions you might have at noel@secondspectrum.com.

Frankly, I find this is a very cynical approach to the lecture of this letter.

Most everyday Joes might not have the means to change the world but it is certain that when turn into billionaire, they rarely pledge the quasi-totality of their fortune to improve the well being of others.

If this is narcissistic, just let it be and be appreciate that for once, a great deal of money will be put to good use. The world is full of Koch Brothers, Saudi princes and European heirs to prove that most billionaires are more concerned about evading taxes rather than giving back.
God is perfectly just. You don't have to punish them. Let God do it.

That's on source devices, which in this case would be the Pi Zero. AFAIK, sink devices like a TV do not supply power.
Good points. I've worked a lot in banking and healthcare, so where I see complexity isn't the software so much as the regulatory environment. This leads to a much more process-intensive way to work.

I was in a brief conversation this morning about Conway's Law in the enterprise, and something I realized (I'm surprised I'd never realized it before) is that that ever-changing fault lines of corporate org structures break existing, successful software projects. Conway's Law says you create software that is a reflection of your organizational structure. What if the org structure changes, but you have a valuable legacy software product to support? Now the software and the organization are at odds with one another. That feels like a Big Truth to me, one of the key reasons things get screwed up in the enterprise.

A cache isn't a substitute for bandwidth, it helps with latency. More bandwidth doesn't impact that problem either way.
Your example seems fine to me. My kids use Google Docs for school, and use it both for collaborating with other students at home, and to submit homework to the teacher. That seems to fall in your example.

The risks that you describe also sound reasonable for adults to assume. However, Google, being who/what they are (organizing the world's information), shouldn't be surprised when "watchdogs" ask more of them, particularly in this case. They deliberately entered this education space. It's not just about plain advertising (to me). Whatever profiles are built from children's use of Google's services (that they are required to use through school), should be carved out from their normal data harvestinf and user profile nurturing. It should be up to Google to develop a "win/win"model whereby they can protect students and properly monitor app performance. It doesn't sound too challenging for a company like Google.
Well that takes the Principle of Charity to a new level.
How I got $248,000 in pre-orders before I even had a product
> Let's start here: The point of Christianity is to make you holy, not to make you happy.

Plenty of Christians would disagree with this (most, I suspect, would agree with the first part, but many of those would disagree with the second part, and perhaps more specifically with the idea that the ultimate achievement of true holiness and that of true happiness are separable.) See, inter alia, 1 Pt 1:8-9, Jn 16:22, Rom 14:17, Rom 15:13, Heb 12:2.
That's pretty much unavoidable for complex problems.

What you want to do is make sure you don't need another 300 lines to implement that problem, or that if you do, that code is easy to read and to maintain.
Why not? Being in the trench in the first place was certain death.

I agree - but I'd describe things like self-driving cars or curing cancer as fundamental research rather than technology.
Remember that in corporate world, the change is always for the worse.

That may seem like a wisecrack, but it's actually based on engineering maxim "don't change what works". Since in corporations most things work somehow, any change is bad.

Except, of course, when it isn't. However, one should always understand the rationale for the original solution before making some change. This is actually impossible for mere mortals (with their limited brains, even if they have MBA) to do properly on company-wide scale for largish companies. From this follows that best course of action to be taken by upper management is to never initiate any change, lest the problem is not well understood.

Unfortunately, such philosophy doesn't really lend much credence to upper management's existence, therefore it's unlikely to be adopted.
Pachyderm (YC W15) is looking for our first hire! | San Francisco | Onsite only

Love Golang, Docker and distributed systems? Pachyderm is trying to build a better Hadoop!

pachyderm.io

github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm

What would data analytics infrastructure (namely Hadoop) look like if we rebuilt it from scratch today? We think it would be containerized, modular, and easy enough for a single person to use while still being scalable enough for a whole company. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes provide the perfect building blocks for us revolutionize data infrastructure!

Pachyderm's is looking for our first hire! We went through YC W15, raised a strong seed round($2M), and are looking for someone to help lead our core engineering team. Pachyderm is just founders right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company as well as building the rest of the engineering team.

We pay competitive SF-level salaries along with significant equity, full benefits, and all the usual startup perks. This position is based in SF, but we offer full relocation assistance.

What you're saying is true as well and goes much further in the use of gender itself.

But it has a bit of a snag for some languages if you were to try to "fix/correct/whatever" the genders of certain nouns to fit a social context. Take German with das Mädchen (das being neuter gender), the plural of this is die Mädchen, aka all plurals in German are feminine gender. Changing the gender of this noun in its singular state is... problematic at best and grammatically would amount to almost a new language. You would also have to tackle do you make all plurals not feminine gender?

Additionally you'd have to handle/tackle use of er/es/sie/Sie/usw... I think I can speak for the Germans here and say changing the language to suit these social constructs would be ludicrous. I know other languages and their grammar would also have issues with revisions along these lines akin to not being the same language.

Aligning gender like people are want to do in English lately is problematic and possibly misguided grammatically.

Uber Rides by Neighborhood (2012)
He replaced a huge if/else with a rule engine.

The idea is sound since that's exactly what rule engines are for but I feel that if you don't also post the final listing of the rules you end up with, you haven't really made the case that you improved the code.
...Meanwhile, Samsung's owner Lee Kun-Hee is still officially alive (even though nobody has seen him in months after he had a heart attack), because the company still hasn't tied up all the loose ends for transferring the company's ownership to Lee's son while paying as little tax as possible.

So, yes, you can do a lot worse (to your society) with $$billions.

Script to manage vim plugins for pathogen
My business depends heavily on rich HTML editing (https://qwilr.com) - and I can't begin to explain how much time and energy and engineering resource we've poured into trying to improve that experience, and make it reliable across browsers.

We had an enormous leg up in that effort - the guy who built the Google Wave editor helped us design and build the core of our editor; even so, its been this massive thorn in our side. Its been months and we still haven't gotten our custom editor out into production for all users (just a beta testing subset at this point).

I recognise of course the myriad competing forces for engineering time on the browser vendors ("implement X new shiny API!") - but O how I wish they would agree upon / build a rock solid content-editable experience.

Ask HN: What's a good coffee pot for implementing the 418 protocol?
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2324

My office coffee pot is almost 200 feet away from me and I'd like to be able to check the coffee status without walking over there. What's a good coffee maker to use?

I'm thinking one that has a weight sensor in the hot plate that can report the fullness of the pot, or a timer that tells how long it's been since the last brew, and an ethernet or wifi connection. Nothing too complicated, if possible. I don't actually know anything about http or networking other than a couple of vocabulary words.

Avoided using flexbox up to now and overall it seems pretty great for some layout tasks.

I do wonder about the point of the `order` property, would anyone ever want to mess with this? It seems like something that should absolutely be in your application code, either client-side javascript or server-side. Using it seems like it would make a project harder to maintain and understand.
