I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and polished the game is on mobile. But the sound!! Am I missing a setting? I couldn't turn off the noise without turning down the volume on my phone. Which reminds me of a saying my computer science professor had in college, "sure, feel free to add sound to your game. But if there is no way to turn off the sound you will get an F" ~ola
"Never rat on your own" comes ingrained with the Y chromosome. Nobody likes a snitch. And being branded as one is for a lifetime and it shuts you outside of all social networks. For obvious reasons spies get a pass here. Throw some "Real man deal with their own problems and not call authority" and you have potent silencing mix. It is hard to verbalize, but it is real.
Of course, it lacked feminist diversity.
Thanks for raising some interesting issues

> the political ideology is more nuanced ... I think it requires some research ...

I agree on one hand. On the other, any issue like this is much more complicated than what can be presented in an HN comment, so we all need to simplify things a little.

> You can have either liberals or conservatives subject to such an emotional appeal to the state

In theory, yes. I find this response by you and others to be odd. Nationalism is a tenant of conservativism, I believe, and I think that's widely accepted; I think most conservatives I can think of would embrace it. It almost seems like people are pushing back against anything that reflects badly (in the context of my original post) on conservatives, and/or are trying impose a theory of equivalence on a real situation where it doesn't exist. But I could be wrong, of course; I don't see significant evidence I'm wrong, I see plenty in my favor, but it's not conclusive.

I'd have to find a list of parties and their positions to know for sure, which is beyond the scope of what I'm going to do for this discussion. I'd be interested in seeing it if someone has one. More valuable would be surveys 'nationalist' attitudes, however those are defined, and other political beliefs (a quick online search didn't turn up any).

The correlation doesn't have to be perfect, of course. Some here pointed out the Scottish National Party, a left-wing but nationalist (or separatist) party. Also there is the Christian Democratic Union in Germany; its leader and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is pro-immigration (though I don't know about the rest of the party). Also, we might learn some nuance to tmy simplistic model by understanding what drives those parties.

> The Cultural Revolution, likewise a left of center revolution ... was nationalistic ... and certainly not conservative

It was indeed the opposite of conservative! I'm not sure I agree about nationalism. It was mostly the radicalization of a younger generation to reject and take power from the prior one (with plenty of self-serving political machinations mixed in, of course). I'm not sure how to map 'nationalism' to something like that. Also, much of Chinese communist ideology was service to the proletariat and, I think, to international Communism (and against capitalism), and not to the state.

Thank you for replying so politely. Yes, some of your comments—the riled-up ones—have brought the wrong kind of conversation to the threads. I'm confident that you could change that if you wanted to, and would be happy to discuss it by email (hn@ycombinator.com) if you wanted to.

The combination of ideology with indignation is most destructive of the discourse we want here. That doesn't mean your views aren't welcome. If you would err on the side of courtesy, it would probably solve the problem. Many HN users, including some of the most courteous commenters we have, have gone through a similar transformation. It mostly takes willingness, which comes more easily when you understand the problem the community faces.

The counterargument that matters of high moral importance deserve to be discussed with strong emotion has some truth to it, but only emotion that isn't contaminated with personal abusiveness qualifies. That takes self-discipline, especially in an online forum like HN, where we don't know each other personally, have only sparse signals to go on, and the bias when disagreeing is to fill in the picture uncharitably. To avoid that requires a conscious effort.

Tomorrow’s Meatball: What We All Could Be Eating 20 Years
I would tend to agree that a lot of "random" sites asking for your online banking username/password is not ideal. This is potentially a step in the right direction since it's "iframed" so the host site presumably never has access to your credentials. But then you have to worry about who Dwolla (or Plaid) is which I'm guessing most of America doesn't.
They haven't pointed it out because the relationship is unclear. E.g. the soviet union was leftist, but engaged in oppression, wars an brutality. The left in Europe have no more respect for free speech than the right in Japan, they just censor different things (so called hate speech).

I would say that it is the moderate liberals and moderate conservatives who value freedom most, because (almost by definition) they don't have some ideology that they consider more important than mere freedom.

Indeed, the far left think of freedom (especially freedom of speech) as a false equivalence between liberating and oppressive speech, (we can see this in the "safe spaces" movement), while the far right think of freedom as open season for degenerate, but appealing, ideas.
The criticism is due to the fact that they burst into the room with guns drawn. It was an over-reaction to a completely unknown situation that was about 99.9% benign.

The police's mantra of "overwhelming display of control and power" can certainly be blamed for that.

In addition, the original poster didn't indicate whether or not a warrant was served before entry -- is the police required to present a warrant while acting on such tips?
I wondered the same thing; I suppose it depends on how frequent those kinds of mass extinction events are. You might end up with two species:

1. The kinds that clump and are subject to rare mass extinctions, but get along well enough otherwise.

2. The kinds that are really good at avoiding converging obstacles by avoiding clumps.

Edit: I just realized that the clumps are kind of a communication network and eventually you might be able to get a kind of clump that either is able to quickly evade converging obstacles or be self-sacrificing to save a part of the whole.

Well, in my case, I deleted my facebook a few years ago, so you actually did lose me, not just as part of some public stand.

I think it's interesting you're publishing your data, and I'm glad you're happy with what you're publishing -- it totally makes sense. User-defined privacy is an awesome thing.

It remains my proposal that you consider actually cutting off your own access to customer data unless they decide to publish it, essentially extending that ability you have while in control of the system to your customers. I think you can see from some of the comments in this chain that people aren't so trusting as you feel you deserve.

And, of course, if someday you or the company needs the revenue, then it might be nice to have already, when not under duress, made a not easily-revocable decision about the ways you'll choose to monetize user data. Or, obviously, it might hamstring your plans.
I would turn that around since Dwolla is a non-starter for e-commerce: Stripe processes credit cards, Dwolla doesn't.
When I reached the point with bursts of individual letters, I had to crank up the size to see some of the individual letters (e.g. is that an 'i' or an 'l') but that just zoomed in to the entire playing area, which meant I lost view of the top and bottom. And by that point my cpu was going crazy anyway, so I had to stop. But up to that point I was definitely having a blast, well, quite a few of them actually. :-)
I've only worked with GSM, not anything newer, but the phone is assigned a timeslot in a repeating frame, and the uplink and downlink timeslots are offset so that the phone doesn't have to transmit and receive at the same time. As I understand it, that makes the antenna and amplifier design much simpler.

Although now that I've said that, I don't recall what happens when it's using multiple channels for packet data.
I believe Plaid only does this for a handful of banks. Is there a list of banks this supports? All/most?
Interesting... You compete with Alooma [1].

Your pricing is a bit out of range for most startups IMHO. you go from 0 to 400. I would love a 20$, 99$ and then 400$ tier.

I would go with Alooma if their pricing is right ... And replace most of my other analytics stacks.

Even Amplitude does this in their priced tier..in that you don't need your own redshift cluster (you get query access to your tables in their db).

This is off topic, but Synaptics touchpad drivers have been the worst part of using a Windows laptop for years and years. Microsoft finally had to take matters into their own hands and write touchpad drivers themselves in Windows 10 because Synaptics just couldn't do it right.

Back on topic, that paper is pretty interesting, though MNIST is a toy problem. If they could run any of the ILSVRC winners then I would be impressed, but I can't help but think that if one wants to run CNNs one would be much better off designing a CNN chip to begin with rather than a wacky spiking architecture and trying to shoehorn a CNN into it. To my knowledge nobody has yet fabricated an ASIC specifically for CNNs so there's no way to fairly compare their approach to something like that.
That's not true. The company gets 10M. The shareholder still received nothing, and thus has no tax liability.

When the shareholder sells their shares they will be taxed.

Thanks for the link! That's a pretty interesting project I was previously unaware of.
Maybe I just don't understand startup culture, but, no. Absolutely not. Cutting your salary in half to take a promotion? Where's the money going to come from to do CTO things, like hiring engineers, if the company can't pay its CTO a reasonable wage? I would not advise you to do that, especially when it's not even something your financial situation can support.

>It's somewhat amusing watching the overt rhetoric of the FBI "crypto war" when the majority of even technical people make far less of a fuss over covert exploitation, which has the dual benefits of being pretty much ubiquitous and plausibly deniable.

Sounds like what John Young said today on cypherpunks mailing list[0] and something I don't see the public nor the all actors involved this "crypto c̶i̶r̶c̶u̶s̶ war" shedding light on soon:

"Kill metadata and other crypto-issue-overdone diversions.

Metadata and other crypto-workarounds resulted from the
crypto wars of the 1990s which were bragged to be won
rather than faked out.

The fake-out was orchestrated by some of the very same
crypto warriors claiming to be against gov-controlled crypto.

A way to identify them is to note who rose to prominence and
wealth in crypto com-edu-org. Still at it, ratcheting up the need
for ever more crypto, acknowledging the workarounds but, but,
but: Let's Encrypt, HTTPS-HTS everywhere, secure drops,
freedom of the press and courage foundations, Snowden
talks and tweets, FISC amicus curiea, POTUS and TLA advisories,
industry lobbyists, dual hats riding the crypto gravy train and
more likely, the subway out of sight.

The money and prestige to be gained by working all sides of
the crypto phony war is, as Greenwald crows of Omidyar's $250M
bribe, irresistable."

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Every single time this topic comes up here there are always one off incidents of how violent the police are, or are not. These one off's really aren't useful either way.

Also another reason why police arrive here with guns drawn when they've been called to some kind of incident/argument/disturbance is there is a much higher chance that someone here has a gun and could do them harm. I'm not sure why everyone glosses over that fact when the USA has 300 million guns vs. some place like London.
Theoretically it's possible. Just keep all memory in the first 4GB. Load all pointers from 32bit locations and do 32bit arithmetic on them, they should get 0-extended for loads and stores. With the correct linker scripts this could be done in user space (modulo calling dynamically linked libraries).

Keeping your digital copy does not reduce any value for the service.

Of course it does. If you listen to an album a lot, it would either cost you a one-off payment $9.99 to download it once during your subscription, or, if you can't download it, you'll have to pay $9.99 every month in order to listen to it.

Allowing users to download music permanently would absolutely affect the profit Google would make - let alone how difficult it would make their negotiations with major labels.
Completely agree here. I would not take a 50% cut to take, what amounts to in title at least, a promotion. Granted the founder role may come with different class of shares or bonuses which may be something to consider. But at the same time, those shares are probably worth minimum now and will be that way for an extended period of time or at least until fully vested. Either way, you are giving up immediate, guaranteed income to take a bet on the value of the company down the road. If you are not financially and mentally prepared to take that gamble I would not recommend doing it.

I am not sure I understand why a CTO role would be a 50% pay cut from your current role? It sounds like they are trying to pull a fast one on you hoping you like the title over the salary.

So they are effectively piggybacking on IFX calls on these bank servers and still using ACH (Account Clearing House?). This is a programmer friendly easily embeddable api for web sites etc. but still using the standard stuff. To call it "Transfer Platform" is a bit confusing to me. I would be damned if Dwolla is actually doing an IFX SignOn with those user name and password, for verifying accounts.
Yeah, I imagine they will drive right towards each other. Dropbox is trying to get better at the whole collaboration / enterprise use case. And I have no clue about Slack's plans around document handling, but feels like a natural progression for their product. I don't think they do a great job there right now, but even something as simple as being able to add tags to uploaded documents (as opposed to free-text subject lines) could go a long way.
