I think he's referring to the DNA evidence from the hood latch. The DNA sample was collected from the latch, supposedly prompted by a Dassey interview. Dassey only speaks about Steven's using and opening up the RAV4 hood on prompt from the investigators. This is one of the moments where they try to lead his statements and eventually have to say "alright I'm just going to come out and say it. He opened the hood and disconnected the battery, right?" "yeaaaaah"
I am 90% certain that a majority of international dealing Chinese vendors simply use counterfeit postage.
The article suggests that the discussed behavior is a problem because it does show up in code that "regular users" have to look at:

Historically, the ancient Greeks knew Earth was round. Pythagoras and Aristotle documented that belief, and Erostothanes actually measured the circumference quite precisely. Pythagoras and Aristotle were well known to every educated mind in Europe at the time.

Among the illiterate masses, flat earth might have been a thing.
Shouldn't it be fourth power of distance (N^4) not sixth? For objects beyond the diffraction limit (i.e., objects whose radius cant be resolved), visibility is determined by total light reaching the observer. Angular size isn't important. (And, if anything, diffusing a fixed amount of light over a larger solid angle makes it harder to see.)
That's not the only reason. After all, the British system is owned by the 15 banks.

Yet the British banks have done very little marketing. I wonder if they prefer the current situation, where they perhaps earn more money from debit card fees.
In particular, to say that opponents of gay marriage were just getting fussy about judicial definitions is to say that the civil war was about states rights.
Or the reality, which is neither of those: people don't become properly informed when you present them with unprompted information. They ignore your pitch and move on with their life. You never reach the state where there are "properly informed" people deciding not to buy your product.
The secret is government subsidies. Not just from China to Chinese businesses either. Some driven by the UPU program through the UN[1], as well as individual receiving country's programs, like the "ePacket" program where US bound shipments from China get artificially low rates from the USPS.

This still confuses me.

The expectation that a company should be "accelerated" reflects more on the accelerator than the company.

(A cynical person would say that this philosophy is merely to incentivize companies to apply to only YC. I don't think that's the case and take Sam at his word.)

But if the company is indeed the independent variable, then e.g. AirBnb and Dropbox succeeded because they were great companies, not because they went through YC.

How do you claim on one hand that YC can materially improve your company, and on the other judge the company for not being improved after going through another accelerator?
Although it's foreign, I've found Christian Science Monitor to be fairly diligent and insightful. If nothing else, I've found it difficult to identify an institutional bias in their coverage and outlook.

You must have missed it, the individual developer galaxy hosting is out. I am using it, its amazing. $13 per month per container. Its not the cheapest ($5 D/O wins there) however so far I have found it to be fantastic! They take care of all the nuts and bolts behind the curtain. You just deploy with a single command in console and it uploads, builds a new container, migrates active sessions, tears down the old container.
Before ISIS took off, they were Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). Here's an old news story I quickly dug up about the Saudis asking US not to hit them: http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/234500/saudi-arabia-agains...

ISIS are Sunnis. Saudis are Sunnis. Iran, Syria are Shia (as are Hezbollah). That's one factor. The other is: some regimes have it in for Assad; they want to get rid of him. They'll support anybody taking on Assad. That's another factor.
Rising cost is fueled by student loans. Problem could be easily avoided, if there would be upper limit on state guaranteed loans, perhaps $50,000?
I was under the impression that there is a yearly accounting process that occurs between countries that accept mail from each other. So, while the counterfeit postage would allow the mail to be delivered, questions would eventually be asked.
Couldn't this just be a variation on the classic loss leader sales strategy? It also reminds me of what Amazon originally* did, get someone to sign up for an account, buy a widget at or around cost, ship for free, and then make the money back on the more expensive larger items as you become the "go to" for whatever someone needs.

*I say originally, as my experience with Amazon has been on a downward trend for at least the last two years.

Nonetheless, Neanderthal were smart/skillful enough to survive in Europe during the Ice Ages. That's not the mild climate of today, but a harsh place that will kill you in hours unless you go in with some serious know-how and preparations.

Neanderthals were baddass, they probably made better tools out of stone than homo sapiens sapiens typically did. But their minds were kind of... too narrowly focused. AFAIK, you could draw a plausible parallel between them and the dwarves of Tolkien fantasy.

Query subscription is the reason. You can add a monitor to the equivalent of "select * from docs" in mongodb and get notified by the db when a docs row is inserted. Some RDBMS:es can solve the same task ad-hoc using triggers, but it is not the same and is much more resource intensive. That makes it hard to achieve Meteor's goal of "any data change is immediately reflected in all clients" with any db other than mongodb.

It's a combination of subsidies in China [2] and really low Universal Postal Union rates for terminal delivery from China to the US.[1] Terminal delivery in the US is about $1/Kg. Market rate from Shentzen to Long Beach to ship a container is about $1200 right now.

Or that the idea was less than successful and the executives could not execute even given resources.
The only ads that I've ever clicked are those of the Deck Network. Every business needs to reach out to people to find customers, but lieing is not necessary by any means. Tell us what you really do, and we'll buy if we are interested. If a company tricks me into buying their product when it is not the most adapted one, it's worse because I will switch away as soon as possible. If there is no lies and the service is good, I'll renew or suggest.
There's a difference between saying people can't have what they don't need, and saying they should have the right to not constantly be told to want what they don't need.

The more correct way to say "fully grok" would be "grok in fullness," anyhow. It is possible to grok but not in fullness; Valentine Michael Smith said this once in the book ("I grok but not in fullness").

I'd say it's been live jargon ever since Stranger came out, jumping from SF to the tech world as things often do, and I'm pleased to see it survive despite the modern distaste for Heinlein in many (but not all) SF circles.
Then you're missing half of the point of Tor, the other half being hidden services which don't require an exit node at all.
The "need to verify" is not a technical need and can't be solved with technical means - it's all about counterparty risk, it is a business need to verify so that you're not vulnerable to all kinds of exploits and fluctuations.

It is trivial to have the payment messages happen in near-real time. However, to actually make a final credit in the receiving account and allow the end user free access to withdraw that money, you need one of three things:

1) the receiving institution simply trusts that they'll receive the money and releases the money as soon as they can - which is not realistic due to counterparty risk, fraud/revocation risk, etc and can happen only either if the whole payment happens in a single central system/institution (e.g. something like paypal) or the system includes very high fees to cover those risks.

2) each sending institution has a large binding collateral and there are appropriate safeguards that in the case of someone "going bad" the receivers are going to get paid anyway - which requires a strong central system to manage it, and the institutions deffering a lot of power and money to it (in this context, a million doesn't come close to a lot of money). This is the system described in the original article - the payment gets credited/finished first, and covered/settled between the banks afterwards.

3) in the absence of strong guarantees or blind trust, everyone in a payment chain pays the money forward only after they have been actually paid to cover the payment, adding days and days to the processing time. This is the current US system and also how general arbitrary international payments can be settled - particularly in international payments, you can get the full payment data nearly immediately, but you generally wouldn't receive the funds until every institution involved has covered their risks.
It's a skill like any other and you can learn it by practicing.
Thanks for the tldr, I might not have read further otherwise.

An idea I've toyed with for a while is to strip patent protection from pharmaceuticals and replace it with a guaranteed royalty, so that inventors are sure to be compensated while the market is open to compete for lower manufacturing costs, maybe have a clause stating that minor molecular changes with no effect on the intended condition the drug is meant to treat don't count as novel, as they do under the current system.

I can't tell if the idea is good or bad yet. What does HN think?
Interesting...would be nice to hear from the dev on that...
> Software can be "done".... Any embedded software that's not field-upgradable is done when the device ships.

That's a perfect example of an that proves the rule.

Saying that, even within that ecosystem, there are libraries, ports, oops-it-blew-up patches, builds against emulators because the hardware isn't ready, etc. You don't write a new codebase from scratch for every device you ship. Parts of that "done" code end up in next year's model.

* > But I don't disagree that software can be done. It depends on the software, and the supporting ecosystem just as much. A microwave doesn't need or get updates, but it's also not networked, or rendering across different browsers, or needing to support a lot of users.*

That's for the copy of the software deployed on a specific microwave. Presumably though the team that wrote that code are doing some ongoing work adding new features and fixing bugs for new model revisions and brand new models. As well as changes to keep their tooling and development environments up to date or at at least supportable.
As my basic assumption is that the wealth in question is a result of rent seeking. All your bullets fall.

1. Yes it would. And if my assumption of rent seeking is true, there might even be more of it.

2. True. At the same time, the amount of people living just above the extreme poverty line has increased from both direction. That is, the poorest has gotten less poor, but the less poor have gotten poorer. And, no it is not inevitably tied to the very rich, if anything both groups has had changes driven by the same Ariel dynamics, but neither is causing the other.

3. Not if they got to be billionaires by extracting rent.

4. No argument from me there. I do worry about large corporations as well though.
The argument that this makes the user experience better is debatable. The argument that it's going to chew through my mobile data bandwidth, battery, and load times isn't.

Number 1 is wrong, if I read the code correctly. The messages go from the sending phone to a whispersystems server via a protocol on top of HTTP, not via Google.
I've worked on those systems and there's not much more to say, the hot potato analogy is pretty much a perfect description.
Addendum: Not actual traffic flows but simulated with an undescribed model.
In general, the more money that a company has raised and the longer it's been around, the higher our expectations are. There are of course important exceptions to this, but we do look for evidence that founders can get things done.
The language is getting better with variadic templates, range-based loops, auto keyword...
The 'if you build it, they will come' mentality is awfully naive...marketing doesn't have to be about lying, good marketing will get your product in front of people who want to use it, who may never have stumbled upon it otherwise.

The thing is, variable names are more akin to proper nouns. They're not words, they're names.
I think the idea is that as a company founder & CEO, you are responsible for everything that goes on with the company. That includes the decision to join another accelerator.

This blog post could be interpreted as a way of providing more information to founders, so that they can't then say "But I didn't know that accepting another accelerator would lower my chance of getting into YC." Now you do.

Also, it's a true statement that AirBnB and Dropbox succeeded because they were great companies, not because they went through YC. At least in the early days, YC had a very strong bias towards selecting companies that would succeed without them. You'd have to ask someone affiliated with YC if that is still true, but given comments from YC partners here, I suspect it is.

That statement is not mutually exclusive with YC being able to help companies that would've succeeded without them, and indeed, both Brian Chesky and Drew Houston have said that some of YC's advice was very helpful to them in critical early stages.

In the Netherlands our postal service has already stopped delivering packages from China to your door ( very recently ). They just slip in a statement 'pick up here & here'.

What was the job market like for new grads after the 2000 and 2008 crashes?
I am going to be graduating from an undergrad CS program soon. I have a full-time offer in an engineering role at a large tech company and multiple internships. However, I strongly want to stay in school for another year to get a Masters in a more analytical field (top 5 program) and hopefully move into Data Science/Engineering positions. There is a possibility that I could transfer from my current offered role at this company into such a position after a year as well.

I am afraid of rejecting this offer to stay in school only to find that I'm joining the labor force in 2017 in a down market. I think it's fairly reasonable that we will be going through our once-a-decade downturn sooner rather than later. Is this a legitimate fear? Should I be concerned about starting my career at at time when beggars can't be choosers? Is the plan to work and transfer likely to have better outcomes?
I add websites to my host file if they express desire for me to turn off my Adblocker. 99% of the time I can find a rehash of their content elsewhere. Since popular stories will get printed by 20 other publications with slight wording tweaks.

Google makes no such statement towards me. I don't use Facebook. Though that has nothing to do with my thoughts on ads more-so than my dislike of Facebook.

If nobody visits a site because nobody wants to see the ads and the site is in the red, they'll still be going out of business if they do not switch business models. Given I don't care if they go out of business sooner or later - they can enjoy their time of declining consumer base before eventually shuttering their doors because they refused to find a sustainable business model. I'll do them the courtesy of not bleeding them out more quickly. Much like how I do not abuse "no questions asked, money back guarantees".
Save and share important quotes with Sniipit
I think you are putting the cart before the horse, in that the heist somehow will negatively change the mindset of the criminal. But I'd guess people who do heists are of a certain mindset already and that doing the heist won't lose them anything mentally or spiritually. But they may get away with some serious cash to spend.

The risk for the criminal is even with all the money in the world the thrill of doing it and winning will be a lure to try again and alas get caught.

Genetically that's more or less true. However, developmentally they were likely to suffer from various issues that limit intelligence. Things like poor diet/starvation, parasites, and limited socialization can have a dramatic impact.

True, but that doesn't mean they're applicable or warranted for Uber-like services. Historically, pre-book/call-a-ride/limo services have avoided much of the regulation applied to taxis that can take street hails; the distinction long preceded apps.

When you pre-arrange the ride through a third party, to obviates most of the potential for abuse that led to cries for taxi regulation:

- There's nothing to rob since payment is handled elsewhere.

- Ditto for the issue of overcharging or deceiving a customer.

- The driver is authenticated when your booking is confirmed ('look for a guy with this license plate ...') so you're not just getting into a random person's car.

- The passenger asks for it so they're not getting pressured by some rando with a car.

- There's a record of who was paired with whom so if someone goes missing, you know where to look.

So it doesn't make sense to object to Uber/Lyft because of some image of what gypsy cabs were like.
The FCC Should Ensure Digital Rights for Prisoners and Their Families
> I'm basing my opinion on the sworn testimony of the actual officers that did the framing

All the sworn testimony, or the testimony the documentary showed you, in the order they showed to you, with you primed by earlier scenes?

> Do you feel that the documentarians faked this testimony?

It's not about the documentary faking the testimony, it's about the documentary being able to manipulate the information presented to you, and then forming an opinion about whether the documentary was biased by using that same curated view of information to decide one party was in the wrong, and therefore the documentary as in the right. That's circular logic, unless you have some other source to counter the presentation from the documentary in question.

The point here is that you, as a watcher of the documentary, were not presented the same evidence as the jury. It's easy to assume you were given a superset of the evidence, but there are indications that what some people believe to be important parts of the prosecution and defense were left out. Without access to, at a minimum, all the information the jury saw, it's impossible to say what conclusion you would come to.

Now, my own opinion is that from the evidence I've seen so far, which the vast majority but not all was received from the documentary, that the trial should have ended in a mistrial at a minimum, or a not guilty due to reasonable doubt. That said, at this point I lean slightly towards thinking he did it. That doesn't matter though, because I don't know all the evidence, nor even all the evidence that was presented in the trial. That's the whole point.

Certainly active communication and the prevention of siloing can help speed development and reduce defects. But the Penny Game illustrates that backlogs and queuing issues will occur even if each station is in perfect communication with all the others. So you can't eliminate queuing issues with close collaboration and rapid feedback. You can only eliminate it by eliminating dependencies and specialization, which I don't think is possible in modern software development.
