Unfortunately I did not. But you are 100% right, we often here of investors doing due diligence, but founders should not shy away from doing their own at the same time. With that said, we were only the second cohort, and I do think what happened with us was a result of multiple factors, so not sure how much due diligence would have uncovered. Doesn't make it right, but it was not entirely the accelerator's fault. In the end where they did fail the cohort was on communication of what was going on.

Have you looked closely at the analysis in that article?

It's a total fudge, basically. But even if it weren't:

So should people have been panicked and drinking bottled water there for most of the last 30 years?

The problem with what you're asking (and perhaps the biggest problem with the MJ article you cited) is that in past decades, lead poisoning (as measured by children's blood levels) has come from multiple sources (lead-based paint in homes being the most widely cited culprit). So it's an apples-to-oranges comparison to start with.

And any numerical "extrapolations" from those numbers to what the comparative risk factors from water sources might have been, going back decades, are equally vacuous.
Interesting that Greek is so isolated, even though so many European languages are derived from it. Maybe it's because Greek was essentially a dead language that was reintroduced, so other languages had drifted far from it?
Auto-expandable URL's are supported, they just need to be enabled (by running 'shout configure').
Kind of interesting that the first nonprime version ended in a comma, as if it originated as a fragment of a longer array of bytes. That's nonstandard C, and I'd expect that whatever tool(s) generate those arrays would know not to add a comma after the final entry.
The Family Sharing in iCloud works exceptionally well for us.
Shocking to read that Parse migration guide basically says that there's no support for Analytics or Push notifications for existing Parse customers. They're on their own.
That'll be exciting.

I agree with your premise, but in this case, for a medical device it would also be a Quality Systems failure. Any change in a component is scrutinized and analyzed for impact. You have no idea how many times (as a software dev for medical devices), I've had someone from Manufacturing or Purchasing come to ask me "if we change (trivial part X) to a new vendor, what can go wrong and how can we test it?" as a precursor to executing a Change Plan.

I'm not kidding. Even something as seemingly trivial as changing the type of paint used on an enclosure can trigger weeks or months of analysis depending on what's in that enclosure.

Is tourist helicopters really the biggest source of noise problems for you in the city? Why not instead focus on reducing the number of honking cars that drive by you?

> It was a tricky series of maneuvers for even the most experienced engineer: speed up out of North Philadelphia Station; slow for a gradual curve at North Second Street; throttle open again for the straightaway, where the speed limit is 70 m.p.h.; and dump speed for the sharp 50-m.p.h. curve.

I don't know how to operate a train. Does pushing a throttle up or down count as a "manoeuvre"? What's "tricky" about this? Am I missing something, or is the author embellishing here?

edit: grammar
Well, I'll be honest... I'm not too sure about this service, or the idea behind it. I mean, hosting (both in the 'cloud' and non cloud sense) is a really competitive, cut throat industry with players able (and willing) to spend millions of dollars on advertising and services.

And people kind of want stability in this type of thing. So if you want Ramgrid to do well, you're gonna have to prove you can keep the company going for at least a few years in order to convince people you're reliable. Remember, many hosting companies are fly by night operations (there's even jokes about some of them being set up by high school kids in the summer holidays), and people are hence more than a tad wary of new ventures in this space. Especially when they don't have a big name like Amazon's behind them.

But hey, good luck with the whole thing.
I wonder if there is a similarity in this case: Being in a state of hunger makes one feel hungry and long for food, perhaps even dream of it while sleeping. A temporary therapy would be to have the person imagine they are full, pressing in their stomach. Would that work temporarily? Maybe. But the underlying problem is still there. I don't know.

You're bringing it all back to my mind.

"Our client agreements state that for any flights exceeding 5 hours, you may fly business class." (except what they don't tell you is you NEVER fly business class, because some engagement manager is trying to impress their senior and the client by billing as little as possible).

"NEVER eat hours, because it's critical that we are able to estimate the time for each engagement in the future. If we need to find cost savings, the engagement manager will make that determination and simply bill less if necessary." (Except everyone, from the most junior plebe, all the way up to engagement manager and beyond, are all trying to impress the person above them so hours get eaten at each and every level)
It might be "easy" but is it quick enough to be tolerated as part of a build?
Bunnie Huang had a really interesting take on the evolution of the markets. It was just a 30 second quip, a mere nugget falling from the ingot which was the lecture. This won't do it justice but to paraphrase him he basically said (w/r/t Shenzhen where effectively every retailer is selling a commodity, eventually they bottom out in price-competition) - the way that merchants differentiate themselves is via being "the guy" who can provide services in a reliable fashion. He goes to the same guy every time to pick up his 10k spools of resistors to throw into the pick'n'place even if its a few cents more on the bottom-line to the BOM[1] because he has developed a relationship and reputation with those vendors. I've had some catastrophic failures with Rackspace but even with proof of concepts with one tiny 400/mo box[0] they spent easily 12-15 hours with high-level engineers to help resolve some pretty obscure WAS stuff. I'm pretty sure they ended up bringing in software guys to help, or those Rackspace IT guys had some of the most in-depth and wide-range knowledge I've only seen in people like Brad Fitzpatrick[2]. They really went above and beyond - which is why I don't mind paying 4x what an OVH box might cost.

There are so many shitty engineers, shitty lawyers, shitty automotive mechanics, doctors and hosts out there that your market differentiation can literally be phrased in a sentence: "Be just a little bit more competent & reliable than your lazy competition". I'm not the smartest guy, but being dependable to your customers is certainly worth paying the premium.[3]

[0] I've got a lot of equipment with them so I'd expect that kind of treatment if I was operating under my own account but this was off a brand-new account where a speculator bought an energies trading platform from a distressed company. His IT partner didn't have much WebSphere experience so he brought me in, gave me the company card and asked me to get it to work

[1] Even the high priced merchants in Shenzhen are significantly cheaper than what we get at Digi-key and Mouser :(

[2] In that, you'd be very hard pressed to find an engineer who can code "high level Perl" (it was as high level as web-apps went during the LiveJournal days), could write Memcached, could write kernel patches for network drivers, do UI (though things were admittedly far more simple then), all the while taking care of the physical IT ops (see: Coders at Work, for a fantastic account)

[3] And any client you have who doesn't recognize this, you should choose to fire as soon as possible. They don't see the value in the services you deliver and you surely aren't being compensated appropriately.
Because it goes to the very core of their attitude about the people they govern: Not only could they not begin to care -- they don't care about even looking like they care, either.

I won a free Apple Watch, and wore it for a while but decided to switch back to the Fitbit Charge HR after two months. The most valuable features to me are its consistent heart rate tracking and long battery life. I don't miss any of the features of the Apple Watch, other than maybe the ability to control Spotify from my wrist.
2^-80 is an incomprehensibly tiny number. Malice or incompetence are both FAR more likely.
Just like on slashdot.... yesterday it was Apple and Google, today it's Microsoft. You're reading an awful lot into peoples' responses.
I hesitated to say that, but to me the most important part is paradigm and structures/patterns. lisp will teach you untyped tree recursion and metalevel perspective. ml/haskell will teach you typed composition. prolog goal based space exploration. forth stacks. APL arrays. C/Pascal etc are supposed to teach you 'imperative' but I believe imperative is mostly a conflation of lots of things, mutable state.. at best you'll learn state machines.
In addition to what pbsd said, Carmichael numbers are incredibly rare. Your odds of stumbling across one by chance are lower than the odds of a cosmic ray flipping the bit of memory that causes you to believe you have stumbled across one, as I recall.
Seriously, if you've ever worked at a large company in SV, you should know that the "lavish parties" thing was a completely envy-driven red herring.

If you do the math you realize that the holiday party cost a few hundred bucks per attending employee.

Compared to other large SV companies - that are not under fire in the press - this was a cheap holiday party.
It's entirely doable and manufacturers of safety critical equipment the world over are doing it daily and recording the batch information Just In Case.
Except for a possible bug, 2^-80 is effectively zero, and getting a non-prime from this routine is effectively impossible.
Most browsers tell you you're not hiding from network monitors, ISPs, and such when you start a "private" session. Edge doesn't mention it. Even with that message, I'm sure plenty of people still think they're being stealthy. However, Edge does specifically say it will delete "cookies, history or temporary files" when all InPrivate tabs are closed, but they are not.

It's a tradition. That's how awesome lists work. See the mother of all awesome lists -> https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome for more examples. The idea is to keep it as simple as possible e.g. just a single README page. That's all.
A personal theory i have is that the "Sceptics"community is somewhat comprised of slightly socially naive stem educated people (sorry). They simply do not fathom the ruthlessness of the political or business world. Hackers are a notable exception, they usually have they usually are pretty adept at seeing propaganda and cover ups.

The notion that "i can prove that conspiracies are false with my math" makes me cringe the same way it makes me cringe when the sceptics community "Proves religion wrong", completely disregarding any psychological or anthropological explanations for such a phenomenon.

A good chunk of the highly educated people from the economic fields, Law, Public Relations and business world are much more manipulative and opportunistic than most "science people" understands.

Go to any of the hippest (and most expensive) night clubs in a european city and you will meet these kinds of people everywhere, earning huge amounts of money doing dubious business deals or polishing the images of morally questionable partners.

You won't meet many tech people there, but the ones you will meet will be in ad-tech, data-reselling, or affiliate marketing.

You won't se any nerds these places, as you won't se any nerds at PR or upper class "fund raising" events, where the small scale conspiracies are pretty obvious.
> I guess this proves that banning work-from-home didn't solve their problems.

I don't know what's the big deal about that. It affected ~200 people max. Yahoo was just tightening the restrictions, bringing them in line with the rest of the Valley companies. And yet people still think that it was a big deal; it wasn't.

I remember when gcj was an aspiring project to compile java to exe (or elf). What happened and why did no one replace it?

Java is a decent language, and I think it would be much more often used if one didn't have to have the right precise version of JVM.

Now, with LLVM, it shouldn't be too hard to make one. Is someone doing it?

I"ve seen some of that "cremation" by the Ganges river. They were not spreading the ashes on the river so much as dumping rather large blocks of cooked flesh. Ash shouldn't make a splashing noise. The practice needs to be modernized.

I'm not real keen on the Church of FOSS.

Don't get me wrong, I love a great many FOSS projects; but my entire life does not need to be constructed of such. Posts like this smack of dogma and fanaticism to me, and engender mistrust of whatever projects the person in question is a part of. After all, if they're that dogmatic about one thing, then what's to say they aren't dogmatic about other things?

> After all, selection works on an individual organism, and it's binary: either the organism survives, reproduces and passes on its genes, or not

Not quite. Selection isn't a 'did reproduce' / 'did not reproduce' binary - there's lots of in-between.

1. At the macro level, any given trait doesn't exist in a single organism, it exists in multiple organisms. Even assuming that an organism reproduces only once, or not at all, among a large population, the individual binary gets washed into a larger, fuzzy, aggregate.

2. A "binary" seems to assume that an organism can reproduce only once - many organisms reproduce multiple times.

3. A "binary" seems to assume that once reproduction happens, the vote is cast and the trait has (at least in aggregate), "won". Merely reproducing isn't good enough, though - most complex organisms have to continue to rear their young after birth.
That's correct.

They are a bit different. However, with many of the node-red-contrib modules, I can do things like "watch twitter for certain #tags, send them to IRC along with a semantic analysis. Also log to MongoDB. And any @ send to my email every sunup."

The basic functionality of the core nodes is already impressive, but the contrib is where Node-Red shines.
Please don't take my comment the wrong way. I actually fully agree with everything you are saying.

I just don't think that was even possible at this stage of the game for Yahoo what with their shareholders calling for blood, their weird relationship with Alibaba such that Yahoo's corporate structure is essentially their product, management issues, lack of vision, etc.

So once something gets to that point, I'm not sure it really is possible to turn it around. So the next best thing is reallocating that capital to things that can move forward in a more productive manner.

But again, I absolutely 100% agree with "stakeholders over shareholders." Just don't think that is realistic with this particular scenario.
