I'm a co-founder of a website for Australian high school students. It's a forum-based community where students help each other, share resources, and make friends by bonding over the high school experience—especially for students in their final year as they study for our equivalent of the SAT.

For the past couple of years, we’ve averaged more than 350k users, 500k sessions, and 1.5mil page views per month (Google Analytics). Traffic peaks every year during the final exam period and after the final results are released, when the average session duration sometimes exceeds 8 minutes.

It’s a thriving community. Can it be a thriving business? Some of the big obstacles to using traditional business models are:

(a) students don’t have much money;

(b) students really dislike ads; and

(c) advertisers apparently see better results from programmatic advertising platforms than from direct campaigns with us.

We’ve experimented with things like selling premium notes and resources; partnering with tutoring agencies; and running seminars, all of which appealed to students, but small margins meant that revenue was very modest.

What other ways might there be to tap into the value that is inherent in a community like this without detracting from the user experience? What else should we be thinking about?
To make sense of big numbers like this where any state is valid, I find it good to compare with cryptographic key sizes, so in case anyone else is wondering:

log_2(L19) = 565 bits
This is somewhat incorrect, as Rust doesn't have a standard regex library. You're likely thinking of burntsushi's regex crate, which made its own decision to be Unicode-aware. There's no reason that someone couldn't come up with their own regex library (or fork burntsushi's, or just wrap an existing C regex library) that works as you desire.
At my previous job I had a server for big, commercial version control system (an SCM, as people in selling those call them) that was running RHEL4 and had similar uptime. I remember my team celebrating round 1024 days of uptime.

Then I'd be interested. But Solaris is x million lines of C code and the system call attack surface is huge, so I really don't think Joyent can offer that. Fundamentally if the author believes that you need a full traditional unix userland inside the container for debugging then they're never going to be able to offer that level of isolation.

This is almost becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Enough articles are written calling for down rounds, now investors are thinking down rounds, employees are sprucing up their resumes, lawyers are preparing for battle...

Can anyone really say if there is any proof to this rhetoric. Are these companies really in such bad shape?

I like the full width code blocks you have in your design. Your site looks great, and all the better to know it's static!
How about using weak linking instead...
OpenAus
> a) use an extremely restricted system call API to enforce separation between processes b) have my processes be VMs for memory-safe languages for safety c) not implement a user/kernel mode distinction within a single application because it's just overhead at that point.

But the second two points are already covered by just writing an application and not running it in a virtual machine. Remember, your VMs are already running on an OS.

And the first -- I'm not convinced that qemu and x86 is all that much more restricted than a well jailed process. Given the complexity of the PC, and the number of critical Xen/KVM/... vulnerabilities, it certainly isn't trivial to emulate securely.

Note, there is one advantage to unikernels, and that's lower overhead access to network hardware than you get with the socket API. This advantage is also available with netmap.

Hi. My name is Stephen, and I built CleverTree - an on-demand medical marijuana delivery service based in Sacramento.

I'm curious about your thoughts on fundraising in the marijuana space. I haven't really tried (except applying to YC and 500 Startups last year), because it seems like most big Angels/VCs are still too risk-adverse to the industry. So far we've been running for a years and have built revenues up to around 45-50k a month. I feel like with any other bootstrapped startup this may attract investor interest, but because of the industry in this situation, it would still be very difficult. What are you thoughts of the investor climate with regards to marijuana?
I think there's a huge need for an actual new bank that is built on technology. It's one of those obvious big need problem.

One of the big problems founders usually run into when doing this, though, is dealing with the mass of regulatory requirements involved. How are you thinking about this? Which of the many different services offered by a bank will you target first? Is it going to be that payments piece you are describing?
Solid chapter on asynchrony! I really find the "Review" section at the end to be useful and tying concepts together. Yeah, I need to learn more core JavaScript.
Interesting article. Rather than arguing what can or cannot be done or what might or might not work, here's some code, and some history.

Here's full-mixed-language programmable, locally- and fully-remote-debuggable, mixed-user and inner-mode processing unikernel, and with various other features...

This from 1986...

FWIW, here's a unikernel thin client EWS application that can be downloaded into what was then an older system, to make it more useful for then-current X11 applications...

From 1992...

Yes, this stuff was used in production, too.
All the more reason to go public and have some liquidity in your shares.

I remember being at Intel in 1999 when the share price was 72. six months later it was down around 18. There was one smart senior engineer there that had put options as insurance against all his shares. The rest in that group had to rethink retirement.
I don't think you are viewing this through the right lense. Valuations are a point in time vs. thinking about a company as a long-term investment - you should more think about which of these businesses has the best long-term potential to become the winner in a massive market, with a strong "moat" that makes it hard to compete, as well as extraordinary margins.

Based on that criteria, Uber & AirBnB should be on top of this list, followed by Palantir and Stripe. Zenefits has not really shown the type of defensible traction that Uber / AirBnB have (right now they are simply a rapidly growing insurance agent with a difficult-to-scale direct sales model). I would not add Spotify to this list - bad margins, and hard to defend against Google / Apple.
The article isn't complete, but I added a new paragraph this morning that completes the sentence you mention.

>having a parent head an investigation

You're right, I exaggerated for the sake of rhetoric. I should not have, and I apologize for doing so.

>And where did I suggest that?

By bringing this up

>>If you are the parent of this missing kid and the police tell you your child might be there but they can't look into it, you would be ok with that?

You're suggesting that the emotional state of parents of missing children validates detaining someone without probable cause (as the comment you originally replied to described).

>I know, reasonable suspicion is really vague and abused but what is the alternative?

This is not what you were originally saying. You wrote that on the basis of it being a missing child, and on the basis of the parents being not okay with inaction, detaining without probable cause was justified.

If that wasn't the message you wanted people to get from your comment, you should have written it differently.

>Anytime a cop sees suspicious activity they need to head over to the court and get a warrant. They would never get anything done.

It turns out there's a great deal of law and precedent that goes into great detail about what a cop can and can't do and when and why. Law and precedent that were decided in light of both the harm of abuse of power and the harm of impotent enforcement.

Saying cops should have more power without first addressing why the existing reasons for limiting that power should suddenly no longer apply loses you a lot of credibility. And if you don't know what those reasons are, rightfully so.

That said, do continue to share your opinion, I'm definitely not saying you should curb your speech, just saying that if you want it to be more effective, there's steps you can take.
1. Under the Copyright Act, a “useful article” such as a chair, a dress, or a uniform cannot be copyrighted. 17 U.S.C. § 101. The article’s component features or elements cannot be copyrighted either, unless capable of being “identified separately from, and ... existing independently of, the utilitarian aspects of the article.” Id. Circuit courts, the Copyright Office, and academics have proposed at least nine different tests to analyze this separability. The Sixth Circuit rejected them all and created a tenth. The first question is:

What is the appropriate test to determine when a feature of a useful article is protectable under § 101 of the Copyright Act?

Hi Micheal and Aaron

Our startup is called Streamly and is a live video platform for artists to share their live shows with fans round the world. We're in the early stages with a few users.

The NSA chief shouldn't be pro-encryption if they're doing their legal job: collect anything needed to advance America's interests or advise on threats to national security; protect communication security of defense-related systems. Like Hayden said, you draw a box around him and he'll push straight to the edges of it to accomplish his mission. The problem is the NSA's mission is too broad, unrealistic, and essentially evil. It basically requires them to do what they're doing as there's no other option and the I.C. will get blamed by Americans and Congress if anything happens. Surveillance and security theater follow.

I wrote it up in detail here:

http://pastebin.com/J2kc9miz

This is coming from someone whose alternatively imitated them (IAD Type 1 specifically) or attempted to counter them (high assurance security) for around a decade. What goes in determines what comes out. The problem is not the NSA: it's what they're required to do and lack of strong accountability in how they do it. That they were non-threatening to Americans before 9/11 & mission expansion supports my claim.
UPDATE: Let my boss politely know that I was uncomfortable w/ this arrangement. He wasn't thrilled, but asked if he could address the team himself so it wouldn't be a complete shock, and of course I agreed. Talking to people discretely after (I'm a remote employee), it sounds like he didn't make it very clear that I gave my notice weeks ago and that everything was above-board on my end, so I told two trusted people what really went down in case it matters but I probably won't tell anyone else. I'll be sending out a goodbye message at the end of the day.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

Not really. The T19 stone makes no damn sense, there's literally no reason to put a stone there. The T1 stone is an "empty triangle" AND in the corner, and only serves to weaken that position. The A1 / B1 stones are also worthless, and only serve to weaken white's position.

When I played seriously, I was only 14 Kyu (many years ago) and I immediately recognized that the board was not a real game. I'd imagine that any 10 to 20 Kyu player (very weak ranking, probably equivalent to D-rank players in Chess) would immediately recognize that the "game" in the picture was wrong.
I still find that a little mind-boggling, that in, say, pre-Colombian Mexico, they had wheeled children's toys, and nobody thought to scale that up and build a wheelbarrow or a two-wheel dogcart. I mean, they must have been using rollers on some level to maneuver the massive pieces of stone that they used in construction.

I'm not sure Uber is really who the article is talking about. Some companies really have proven their Unicorn status.

Everyone I know uses Uber a lot
Yeah, that perfectly fits what I said:

> There's some experiments on small-scale fission plants, but there's no market, no buyers, no deployments.
Thanks for the note - can you tell me more about the business? How much traction - which cities in Europe do you support? What is the ideal usecase for your product?
<< There was one smart senior engineer there that had put options as insurance against all his shares.>>

Not sure what the rules were at that time, but most public companies restrict you today from owning any derivatives in their stock.

A bug in DTLS will not get attention because people don't run DTLS.
I haven't tried deploying a unikernel in production yet - I've been mostly using/debugging only OCaml code on Linux in production - but it should be possible to implement the kind of logging you describe.
For example I've seen a project that would collect&dump its log ring-buffer when an exception was encountered in a unikernel, or one that collects very detailed profiling information from a unikernel.

It would be nice to have some kind of a "shell" to inspect details about the application when something goes wrong, but that applies equally to non-unikernel applications.
The difference is that with unikernels the debugging tool would be provided as a library, whereas with traditional applications debugging is provided as a language-independent OS tool.
A Look Inside Container Monitoring
It's a course assuming some background in ML.

For _probability_ vectors, there is a distance measure called cross-entropy. It's a standard error measure in classification problems. It has some important properties different from the Euclidean distance (especially for low probabilities) and there is information-theoretic interpretation.

More on it:

If EB decides to tear down and rebuild an ELB, it won't have the correct cert settings.
This is pretty easy, because Om Next is low level and by design it can integrate into any back end. However, there is very little "hand holding" right now and it can be daunting to understand exactly how to do it.
No, it's just that the developer likes to recreate these scenes to show off the editor and renderer.
One of the hardest parts of the regulatory requirements is the Capital on hand and getting a federal charter.

Because we've targeted a handful of very small institutions with those charters in place and the banks are in good standing it actually allows us to skirt some of the pain points of trying to charter one ourselves but also allows us to hit the ground running on the technology front.

We think the bill pay/secured payments could be the one to target first because we think there is value in just being a great traditional savings and loan bank. However, the main thing we're thinking through now is if this is a big enough segment to gain real traction with consumers or if we need more of a WOW product for mass adoption.
I think there are angels that are willing to invest - https://getmeadow.com/ is a YC company and they were able to raise an angel round - I think its helpful to look like a typical tech startup with strong engineering on the product team and a launched product before you start to fundraise.
I understand your point...

By my reading, the article simply presents evidence that a "broad recommendation" that the public reduce salt consumption may not justified...included is one of the reasons I mention in the first sentence of my reply--the variation in salt-sensitivity from individual to individual in a population...some will benefit, others may see either very marginal gains, or none at all...

We disagree on whether or not the article presents evidence of a scientifically "opposite" relationship...suggesting that there is not enough evidence to support proposing a course of action is not the same as saying that proposing that course of action is clearly contraindicated...

A reduction in salt intake is one of several recommendations that a physician will make if you're diagnosed with hypertension...there are others...weight loss, exercise, medication, etc...any, or all combined, may contribute to lowering your blood pressure...if you have a high salt-sensitivity, as some segments of the population do, you can expect gains...if not, then not...

Recommending bodies, in instances like this, primarily concern themselves with an intended effect on a population...statistics serve a purpose, but don't as readily apply to individuals, as you correctly infer later on in your reply...e.g.,"your mileage may vary"...

Science is a beautiful self-correcting mechanism...given time...it may eventually be decided that recommending salt reduction is harmful as a general strategy...in that case your contention that a "scientifically demonstrated opposite relationship" is what's being pointed out in the article may be eventually be validated...

I don't think we're there yet...hence, I think the jury is still "out"...
Another possibility is a multi-device multi-page score reading app. I don't know if that's available now, nor if anyone's working on it, nor how hard it would be.

I don't think uber isn't a winner take all market. 1. uber sets pricing. 2. uber is a 2 sided market not an n sided market like a communication platform. The premise that more drivers equals less wait time and lower prices is partial wrong. more drivers waiting on fares will decrease wait time. I predict a second player that offers higher wages per trip would entice drivers to wait longer for fairs offering much faster times to customers.
Does anyone try to count equivalence classes (after rotation or reflection) instead of raw board positions? To my mind, that would also be of interest if you want to know how many actually distinct game situations there are. I guess as a rough under-estimate you'd just divide the count by (4 rotations * 2 reflections)?
I'm of the opinion that eventually (soon) human emotions/gut level feelings will be replaced with a controlled layer.

In an earlier time hunger, fear, (and probably even things like love and religious sentiment) had strong purposes. To a certain extent they certainly still do.

The problem is in this world all to often these impulses are destructive and as the problems of the world get traced down to the root these emotions will become revealed as troublemakers and replaced with something more suitable as the capacity is developed.

For example... look at hunger. We need it to tell us to eat. Or we did. But the desire to eat evolved in a time when food wasn't as rich or as plentiful. So now it causes problems. Kills more people than terrorists and cars and smoking and drugs. So people try to beat it back, go on diets, suffer, but why?

So eventually what I think will happen is that something will be tied into your metabolism. You'll get hungry when you physically need to eat and in proportion and with desire for the things your body really needs. Adjustable, controllable. Not the things a body craved on the Savannah 20,000 years ago or whatever.

Other emotions... same thing. Incidentally, I'm not advocating this...I have no doubt plenty of people would be horrified at the thought and the concept has extreme risks for sure. But I think in the total cost/benefit it will be what happens to humanity fairly soon evolutionary speaking.
One of the things I've heard about FB is the complete lack of change control. That, at least on mobile, people will add code with almost no oversight, which has lead to the apps having such huge numbers of classes.
Letter to FCC Chairman Wheeler – Broadband Definition [pdf]
Yeah, it really is interesting to see the situation from multiple perspectives. I still wonder though, is this actually happening? Nothing in the many articles I've read suggests solid evidence that a majority of these companies are struggling. Just sound bytes from VCs pontificating.
The US military is already wary of this attack vector. Likewise, Australia was leery of letting the Chinese telco Huawei do any work on their National Broadband Network infrastructure.
Exactly, and this is especially true for companies that are disrupting existing players by being more efficient (e.g., I would expect more travelers to turn to AirBnB during a recession as a cheaper alternative to a hotel, even if overall travel goes down).
But that's the case for every system of sufficient complexity (that I've seen).
I think it's un-Javascript-y as well, and I consider that a good thing. I don't think javascript is a particularly well designed language. (I mean, it's great considering its origins, but still)

If I could avoid writing javascript I would, but unfortunately, you have to write javascript to do anything inside a browser. I can't wait until class {} gets widespread browser support. I know compile-to-javascript languages are a thing, and I use them, but in my experience, you can't get away with not knowing javascript.
Cool! It looks like OEIS only lists terms up to n=14, but they seem to be getting them directly from the researcher who did the computation, so hopefully it will be updated in the future.
That sound a lot - how did you price it?
