Yup and while launchpads are at a serious premium, space in the entire ocean is not. They could in theory launch many rockets on the same pad over the course of a few days and land them all on separate "drone transport ships".

>So what other paths are nicer, while requiring less up-front risk?

It's pretty difficult to beat the upfront cost/risk of "Fire up a web browser and a compiler/interpreter and start reading a tutorial". That can lead to an entry level job in 6mo - year or less. Software is really an anomaly in this area especially with tuition costs these days.

You can learn math or engineering on your own to lessen the risk of flunking out of a major, but you're still required to spend the time.

This is quite different from something that is familiar to athletes, namely that low blood sugar can get you to lose mental focus and coordination to perform your best.

Here, the test subjects were simply subject to some cognitive loading.

Nothing "doh, obvious" about this.

We know that there is a connection between mental alertness and muscle coordination and drive, but it's not obvious that these can be eroded simply by cognitive activity; essentially a "software" problem.
Sorry, but won't stop anytime soon, because it's insanely productive.
We've had "better C" since the 70s (since 68 depending on your view of Algol68). Programmers didn't want to use them. I can't tell you how many times I heard "having to to type BEGIN and END sucks" as though that was a valid argument against a language that had none of the issues C has.
> Changing master/slave to primary/replicas is more appropriate as it helps people understand what it is at first, has no bad baggage associated with it and easier for non technical people to understand.

1. Master/slave may be more accurate than primary/replica, depending on the specifics.

2. There's no inherent baggage in master/slave, beyond what you bring to it. It's a concept, not a slur. There's nothing unethical about one computer being a slave to another.

3. The understanding of non-technical people is not an important consideration in technical terminology. Non-technical people don't know what HTTP means either.

> If you know someone who was a slave, had it as apart of your family history or are currently living in illegal slavery the master/slave naming can be very offensive and in some cases trigger PTSD from events that occurred to you in the past.

And this is where you lose all the reasonable people.
I agree with you, and something I am actively working on. That said, anecdotally, the market seems to overvalue many things a medium amount, and greatly undervalue a small few things by an order of magnitude.

So while I would say, sure, the market cap of a company, in what could pitentially br another downturn, is not exactly precision science, this company is in bad shape.

also, on a final point. Even when markets are wrong, which I dont think is the case here,they can become correct by driving the company the direction they expect it to go.

So on balance, you're correct. Specifically, I wouldn't buy their stock.

From a statistical perspective, you are far more likely to shot or beaten up by a black man than you are through a crooked cop. Would you go around telling people you have the same fears towards black people and say this is a fair statement?

I think what's going on is availability bias. This is where dramatic or sensationalized dangers get overplayed in one's mind instead of paying attention to the actual probabilities. It's basically like shark bites, airplane crashes, or terrorist attacks. The media tends to sensationalize these risks because there is money in it and people tend to over-fear them despite their actual statistical probability. Don't get me wrong, there should be something done about crooked cops. But it's also important to distinguish real risk with the types of risks that sell newspapers.
The problems faced by businesses aren't actually any more "real" than social apps, they're more differentiated. What tends to happen as you get older is you start digging deeper into specific fields. Instead of looking at everything from the glossy overview perspective, you end up looking at the details, and finding specific tasks that can be done more efficiently.

I suspect this is why younger entrepreneurs tend to build bigger companies, but have a lower chance of success. The size of an eventual company comes from the size of the market it's serving. Basic needs - food, socializing, sex, information, transportation - are shared by nearly everyone, and so the markets are huge. But everyone can see any problems that arise in those areas, and so the competition to win the market is intense.

Building something like software for petroleum geologists working in undersea basins is a much tinier market, but many fewer people have the requisite domain knowledge to even understand what the problems are. So your chances of success are higher, but you aren't going to strike it big like Facebook.
Congratulations, but you have to admit you are a pretty extreme outlier, even in the Bay Area. I'd guess the vast majority of tech workers in Silicon Valley are in the $80-$140K range, and the vast majority outside the valley are in the $50-90K range. $200K is eye popping and probably two or more standard deviations from the mean.

The problem is that a twin extra long is 80 inches long, and a king is 76 inches wide. Basically doing the perpendicular thing I would only gain 4 inches of width. Ideally I'd like for that to be closer to 24 inches. Thanks for the suggestion.

Apple didn't drop their DRM because of Amazon. They wanted to drop it before then, but the publishers in order to promote an alternative to iTunes made DRM-free music available to Amazon first. Apple dropped it as soon as they were allowed by the publishers. It was written into their contract that DRM was required. Steve Jobs talked about this in his "Thoughts on Music" post. It doesn't appear to be on Apple's site now (it was written in 2007), but you can read the whole thing at,

http://macdailynews.com/2007/02/06/apple_ceo_steve_jobs_post...

The relevant part is:
"The third alternative is to abolish DRMs entirely. Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on all players. This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat. If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store. Every iPod ever made will play this DRM-free music."
Those nurse salaries are median though, right? It's a terrible comparison. How many nurses get 120k plus shares? My wife is in health care (Physical Therapy) and makes 80k+ which is a bit higher than my own salary, but that's it. No benefits (such as stock, etc), and no chance of higher pay. 80k is about it (she's a clinic director with a large company). I can get half again her salary by commuting 1+ hour a day instead of my 20 minute commute, but she doesn't have that option. The pay in Seattle is pretty much the pay in Tacoma. In fact, she works outside of Tacoma in a small town, so her pay is actually higher than in Seattle, where in web development, that's not the case. Tacoma hires "ninja javascript developers" as low as 35k (according to listings in craigslist that I've seen, and in fact, my first job out of college in the immediate Tacoma area - Gig Harbor - started at 15/hr with a "promise" of 20/hr after 90 days; which turned into 17/hr)

So, I don't disagree with your points, but nurses and PTs have a lower ceiling than software engineers. By far.
Most people just buy their phones without thinking, and would find this encryption debate a little technical. They probably also think that they won't be personally inconvenienced, and that only criminals would be specifically targeted by the authorities.

I think only an effortful, informed, and motivated individual would buy their phone out-of-state. Plus, I'm pretty sure NY won't be the only place enacting such anti-encryption measures.

Eventually, those who advocate for encryption and privacy will be out of the moral mainstream, and will have a tough PR road ahead of them.
It's not about balance sheets, it's about having time to cope with any unexpected problems with the transaction, like fraud.

It's frustrating, and ideally not necessary, but it's essentially a safety net for the middle party.
Coroutines seem to be a very popular topic. And again my shameless plug, I did exactly the thing described in this article in my project: https://github.com/ademakov/MainMemory
I think the most realistic anti-encryption legislation would be to ban a vendor from shipping a device with encryption enabled by default. If they were to provide an api to plug in a third party encryption module, then most people would probably leave the phone in the default settings. Which would return things to the previous status quo -- most devices would be searchable, and only people who new what they were doing (including a subset of "bad" people) would have encrypted devices.

Note: I'm not endorsing this, but I do believe it would satisfy the governments.

Is there some possibility of convincing a gun rights advocate that he is wrong? Only as much as there is to convince a climate change denier or creationist they are wrong. So for all three I'm afraid the above adjectives are accurate.

That's basically what happened. Apple wanted to go DRM-free (see Steve Job's Thoughts on Music letter) and did so as soon as they were able according to their contracts. But before they did, the publishers offered DRM-free music to Amazon first allowing them a head start on Apple.
>So what would happen if Chrome and Firefox had stood together in solidarity and said "no"? I don't think the answer would have been a mass exodus to IE; for that matter, what if IE had gone along with it? (Edge already bans plugins.)

Google has been a prime supporter of DRM on the web. They bought Widevine a few years ago which is a DRM provider and pushed for inclusion of DRM in the W3C.

It's basically Mozilla vs. the rest, just like it happened with patent encumbered H.264 and Mozilla was left holding the bag.
I, again never really used them, but I think it was likely a case of Etsy not realizing they were pinterest.

People went to see fashion, crafts and home made cool things. They started their own stores and shared in that experience.

Etsy never cspitalized on this. Pinterest, is the opposite. It was meant as an awesome place to find cool stuff, then, while people are admiring it, they did a deal with stripe.

Now Patrick Collison brings them up sometimes in interviews, and both Collisons did a class with Ben Silberman in Sam Altmans stanford class.

So, point is Pinterest attracted all the people who made cool shit. Etsy attracted all the people who bought it.

Match point.

I'm guessing that's due to floating point error.
Preventing access at all is regular access control.

The technologies that let someone access the data from their PC at the hospital but not, for example, save a copy to a USB stick, are much closer to what others use for DRM purposes.
OK, we will make something more about what this does. Thank your advice
Why is it insane?
That reply doesn't address his question at all.
I had just such a crisis at around that age. After 3 or 4 companies, I realized that I hit the ceiling at around 28 or so had only 1-1.5% cost of living adjustments to look forward to for the rest of my life. So I tried to do a major career change, ended up doing a minor one (I have "manager" in my title now but that's about it), and really I'm not making that much more than I was. There's definitely a ceiling, and you hit it real early in tech.
I'm not a lawyer or an expert on the commerce clause, etc.

But is seems like these issues have passed muster before. Consider that California has stricter environmental regulations concerning the cars that are sold there than many other states. The manufacturers simply make cars that meet the California standard and sell them pretty much everywhere (at least I'm pretty sure that use the be the case, haven't kept up with it though).

If that local regulation has passed any and all legal tests, then I would be surprised if New York couldn't act independently in this case. And I think the manufacturers would simply do something similar: you'd end up with compromised security on all devices that come under the law even in states where that law didn't exist.
Are you sure you want to compare cryptocurrency exchanges' safety to 19th century banks?

In the 21st century, customers of traditional banks usually don't lose any money when a bank is robbed.
The unique thing about DRM is that it provides access to data but attempts to limit what you can do with that access, for example allowing you to view it only on certain devices.

And that sort of thing is what I'm talking about. There are numerous applications where someone has a legitimate need to access certain data under certain conditions and for certain purposes, yet that same person does not need and should not have the ability to do other things with the same data.

And if you think that's not useful, I would remind you that a very substantial proportion of all white collar crime is based on inside jobs.

They lost their 'handmade' direction after they let the vintage people back in. For a short time they removed all of the stores that were selling curated collections instead of something original.

Within the crafting world, this was the beginning of the end -- which was a few years back.

It's not surprising to see them slowly fading away. They haven't progressed. Back in the early days you had to get in with the 'chatting Mom's' if you wanted to gain some good traction. Now its just like any other ecom platform.

Just answering the original poster. Farming and construction are also dangerous and the risks, aside from random bad luck can be managed, while pay and conditions may vary. But that's not what was being discussed.

The OP was complaining about first responder over-time and pensions, while the most risk involved in well funded companies and startups is probably getting a paper cut. The distinction I draw is between the types of risk and reward being experienced.

I've owned one, though i never programmed for it. But from what i know, i guess the answer is that the amiga is very close to a modern computer, in that it has specialized chips for graphics and sound (Denise and Paula), making many tasks quite easy, but is still weak enough to force most programs to be relatively simple.

At the same time there's also still a very active competitive amiga programming community², making things like these:

You'd think so, but unfortunately many, many systems that deal with sensitive data are not "sensible". Just look at the leaks from some of the most security conscious organisations in the world in recent years.

Which is why our banks don't operate like they did in the 1800s. We've got better security, interbank electronic transfers, and a government backed insurance system which guarantees the safety of deposits up to a fairly large amount (in the US, at least).

If you're arguing that the state of Bitcoin is analogous to banks in the 1800s, that's fine as a perspective on the relative state of advance; to me, it's a wonderful way of saying I should keep my money as far away as I can from BTC.

Definitely interesting times for animal rights. There have been a number of law changes making animal abuse as punitive as the human equivalent. But the general sentiment was for dogs and cats as far as I could tell and there are some nuanced questions that follow regarding how different orders should be treated. For instance, is a child with a pet goldfish that dies because they forgot to feed it an animal abuser, or does it not count because we see fish as lesser than mammals. Most wouldn't object to squashing a fly/mosquito/cockroach though.

And then it goes back to questions of animal consumption (directly - meat, and indirectly - eggs, milk etc) and how that relates to animal abuse or whether killing humanly makes it acceptable. Most vegans I know would say that even 'humane' killing is one that isn't sanctioned by a conscious animal being hence is effectively murder.

And to throw a virtual bone to HN world, what happens when we encounter this phenomena in the virtual or even robotic worlds with conscious machines?

Consider that when the Amiga arrived most PCs had monochrome text only displays, and the PC speaker was the only sound option. In 1987 VGA arrived and you would start to get the opportunity to compete with still images, but it still took a while before most PCs would use more than 16 colours. And prior to the Soundblaster in 1989, most PC users still had no proper sound. And until 1995 most PC users had not used a pre-emptively multitasking OS.

Meanwhile the Amiga shipped with a fully multitasking windowed OS, 4096 colours, higher resolutions (until VGA), the copper (a coprocessor that let you update things like the palette and video registers synced to the raster beam, e.g. to let you combine multiple graphics modes on the same screen, or duplicate hardware sprites multiple times on the screen without involving the CPU), the blitter (letting you move areas of memory; geared towards moving graphical objects while the CPU did other things), 4 voices of sampled music, and a CPU (M68000) that was simply far more pleasant to program for.

For most of us who saw Amigas in the early days, the PC looked like a dinosaur.
It's an interesting way to look at it, and I guess I'd never thought of it that way. I'm still not convinced Pinterest and Etsy are substitutes, or at least not that they always have been. But I do agree that (from what I can tell) Pinterest is the more ambitious and strategic company, and that it has Etsy in a corner it can easily choose to close off at this stage in the game.
I didn't say it's salary. That's salary+bonus+stock vesting. This is in line with the total cash comp I've seen and received from most of the major tech companies in the US.
Schadenfreude fan, huh? The courts will likely treat it the way they have wiretapping. That is, unless a skilled defense shows that unfunded and indefinitely key escrowing is impractical or unfair somehow, which is probably hard to do seeing as Apple used to offer a key escrow service (opt-in) on OS X's FileVault 2, and Microsoft offers one (opt-out after they have the key escrowed) still today.

This is what China wants, so if Apple isn't going to stop selling in China on principled grounds, then why would they stop selling in NY or anywhere else that decides to go down this path?

As for enforcement, every state has its own rules for merchants. NY State has the business license and if you don't follow their laws they can withdraw the license and now the company can't sell product in the state.

The thing that irks me is this transparently targets average Joe User and below average crook. Because only those two groups will end up with either weaker encryption (breakable encryption, including backdoors) or keys being escrowed. Anyone who understands this, including the above average crook and far worse, will just get some other product that uses escrow-free strong encryption that isn't subject to that state or that country's laws.
