Hello fmstephe,

Lionel from Hatch here. Indeed, we work on prototype and development of products willing to go to mass production.

Recently I discovered this site http://tempoautomation.com/. It may be what you need for your custom electric guitar.

They are in LA but wherever you are you can send your design and specs to get your prototype built.

Hope this can help :)
Thanks for sharing your research.

I think this quote sums up Django very well. I would guess that a large chunk of externally facing and internally facing web apps use django (e.g., apps at Mozilla [0]). Anyone have a link to numbers? It would be neat to quantify the prevalence of frameworks on the net. Someone must have done this already.

Why do people keep using linkedin? They are the biggest spammers around and have no shame. All email providers should filter their emails as spam automatically. I periodically receive linkedin invitations from people that wrote to my dev email account looking for technical support, which just goes to show that they just don't go after your 'friends' but just about anyone you have ever contacted via email.

Gnu social is an open platform, so as others have stated you can host your own. And, it allows you to customize the look and feel pretty much without limit; however you wish it to look. I can't explain exactly why the quitter network or the default Gnu social network look the way they do...but my guess would be for new user comfort; sort of to provide a familiar environment. But again, at the end of the day, because gnu social is open source, you can tweak your network to suit your needs.

I believe that I have provided sufficient background from which you can acquire your own evidence. My involvement with Amazon's speech services is something I regret and wish to help others make better sense of, but I also am bound to contractual obligations that prohibit me from going into the explicit detail that you ask for.

If you've ever worked for Amazon, you'd know how dangerous it would be to go into the level of specificity that you are demanding. I refuse to satisfy some loud-mouthed internet user just because of the "seriousness" of my claim.

It would be extremely easy for you to test my claims yourself.

I think this comment by patio11 is very relevant here:

"We don't donate to OSS software which we use, because we're legally not allowed to.

I routinely send key projects, particularly smaller projects, a request to quote me a commercial license of their project, with the explanation that I would accept a quote of $1,000 and that the commercial license can be their existing OSS license plus an invoice. My books suggest we've spent $3k on this in 2015. My bookkeeper, accountant, and the IRS/NTA are united on this issue: they don't care whether a software license is OSS or not. A $1k invoice is a $1k invoice; as a software company, I have virtually carte blanche to expense any software I think is reasonably required, and I think our OSS is reasonably required.

I would do this more often if OSS projects made it easier for me to do so. Getting me to pay $1,000 for software is easy; committing me to doing lots of admin work over the course of a week is less easy. Take a look at what e.g. http://sidekiq.org/ , which is an OSS project with a commercial model, does. Two clicks gets me to a credit card form. If I actually used Sidekiq, Mike would have had my credit card on file the day that form went up."

(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10863939)
Or, just understand that those are the standard topics and begin conversing. Nobody needs to tick boxes on a form.
The judge's argument makes sense to me, and seems right.

But I'd argue that the CAPTCHA itself is a greater benefit to the end user than the cost (not just Gmail or Google Maps). If Google had to stop using OCR CAPTCHA tomorrow, they would have to use an alternative, and frankly most of the alternatives are worse. Further still without the ability to hinder bots services like Gmail couldn't exist.

Arguing that Gmail is a greater benefit than the CAPTCHA costs to complete is fine, but potentially leaves the gate open to sue later because someone finds a service which they claim doesn't benefit the end user (e.g. paying a bill). Arguing that the CAPTCHA method itself has more benefit than cost completely destroys any future lawsuits.

Honest question: Do you have children?

I'm asking, because my wife and I had a similar routine earlier in our marriage – though perhaps less structured than yours. After we had a child, it's been harder to make time for that. If anything, it's more important to have a routine like this after becoming parents – but takes even more commitment to the idea.

A friend of mine proposed a tongue-in-cheek test for parents to assess the health of their relationship. Have you and your spouse had a conversation in the last week about something other than the family (kids, elderly parents, etc.) or work? He meant it mostly as a joke, but there are definitely weeks where I look back and struggle to remember a real adult conversation with my wife about anything non-family, non-work, and lately non-politics.

Anyway, I completely agree with you. Relationships require work, deliberate reflection, etc. You and your spouse will be different people when you're 35 than you were when you met at 25 (or whatever ages apply to you). You will grow and change. You can either grow apart or grow together.

Pretty trivial stuff in the context of an $81.7bn corporation. IBM makes the vast majority of its turnover and profits from closed, proprietary systems, most of which are in decline (it used to be a $107bn corporation).

> They're really not hurting the consumer at all.

The public pays indirectly to support the extremely expensive IBM systems that, partly for historical reasons, still run almost all Fortune 500 companies. You may say that "They make a ton of money by bilking banks/the feds/states", but ultimately it's consumers and taxpayers who foot the bills.

Ah. At what level is the broader economic system that your systemic hedge helps? A city? A county? Anywhere within a reasonable car commute? The state? The country (which, for some Europeans, is all within a reasonable car commute)?

From your website, looks like the systemic hedge is focused on SV right now, which makes total sense. Bet once you get it nailed there, there's plenty of blue ocean in the other tech hubs.

Nginx 1.9.11 with Dynamic Modules
I really don't want to turn this into a Microsoft praise fest but similar to IBM, they've been a net-zero since about Ballmer era, and a net-positive since Satya took over. All of that Microsoft Research papers which silently go unnoticed in Silicon Valley (or published under the MSR, INRIA // MSR, Cambridge name and people don't do the math) but here's a few things MS has been responsible for

a: Asynchrony -- the async / await paradigm - if you use it in JavaScript it came from C#, which came from a MSR paper (or maybe a Microsoft Languages whitepaper.) A lot of the semantics took a very long time by very smart people to work out the execution logistics, and we get to reap the benefits.

b: Haskell -- paying SPJ's salary so he can work on Haskell full-time as a MSR Cambridge employee and implement a whole bevy of things like STM[1], the popularization of pure functions (immutable.js users, as well as CLJS)

c: Clojure -- if you use Clojure's STM, borrowed from work funded by Microsoft. For me, it's used every day in Datomic.

d: Verifiability -- a mind-blowingly large amount of formal verification stuff - ranging from the first formally verified OS + integrated language, to things like F*

e: Z3 -- no need to explain this if you're in any sort of reverse-engineering I'm sure your life has been made significantly easier since MS released this into the public domain

f: CoreCLR + the JS engine + their crossplatform 100% free IDE + opening up VS Community (which is about as as VS Professional)

g: Probably most importantly -- Well, just go here. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/groups/rise/default.aspx. Basically 1 out of 4 things in there is already, or will be imminently, used by 'mainstream' languages after it moves out of the "only publishing grad students who eagerly wait for POPL every year" zone.

[1] I know STM comes from that '88 paper. I've read it. SPJ did too and brought it into the mainstream, so I give him credit.

IBM and Microsoft (and, presumably GoogleX but they havent been publishing) are one of the few corporations I'm aware of that dedicate more than a few resources to research-for-the-sake-of-research (n.b. MS has been doing this silently since 1991, and IIRC employ more than 100 staff just to produce work to the field of computer science further.)
Don't.

The target group of LinkedIn is mid-level managers of any kind plus the people who want to join that group. Individual contributors such as programmers will not get any value of such a network - no job to be done.

GitHub is way better suited, but won't capture the purely professional programmer who never works on public stuff.

Leaves StackOverflow, maybe expand the user profiles into a full profile (maybe already done, not using SO myself as I am said mid-level mgr).

Basically - you need a hook. Something useful on top of the networking aspect to attract ICs.

Career-focused people are on LI and use it, no matter what. Very hard to beat them by now, similar issue with FB - to compete you'd need at least equivalent data. And yes, LI built their dataset with very slimey tactics.

It's quite surprising how many things seem to be feedback cycles when it comes to human nature. Happy behavior makes you happier, confident behavior makes you more confident, etc. It kind of gives weight to the "fake it til you make it" philosophy in a lot of ways.
> Do the two of you have so little in common that all you have to talk about is your monotonous work day?

Wow, so many assumptions there:

1) All they do in a given day is work

2) Their work is monotonous

3) These questions result in boring, factual answers (perhaps instead they lead to long, interesting conversations far away from the original topic)

Etc, etc. IMO, it's much more productive to take the time to think about reasons why something would work for somebody else rather than immediately dismiss what they do.
Jeeze, what a shame.

I do love the SF-86 form. "Please list all acts of terrorism you have participated in, in an attempt to overthrow the Government of the United States: Nature of act, Dates from and to" and that sort of thing. I wonder if anyone who answered 'YES' to that section ever got a clearance?
The difference between "good schools" and "bad schools" is much more about the kids that go there than anything about the school itself. You're seeing this starkly in D.C. where gentrification in certain neighborhoods is shifting the student demographics from 90% low-income to 20% low-income over just 4-5 years. Test scores are shooting up, but it's not like they fired all the teachers and hired new staff at twice the salary.

American schools are fine. Our problems are social. For example, the U.S. has the second-highest rate of single-parent families along with one of the highest gaps in PISA scores between single-parent and two-parent households: http://educationnext.org/international-look-single-parent-fa....

The U.S. also has a larger fraction of children in the lowest income distribution than comparable countries: http://www.epi.org/publication/us-student-performance-testin.... Accounting for that eliminates a lot of the supposed gap in U.S. student performance:

> If U.S. adolescents had a social class distribution that was similar to the distribution in countries to which the United States is frequently compared, average reading scores in the United States would be higher than average reading scores in the similar post-industrial countries we examined (France, Germany, and the United Kingdom), and average math scores in the United States would be about the same as average math scores in similar post-industrial countries.
I wouldn't worry. Not every auditor will catch this.
Thanks, that is a very interesting insight. We'll see what we can do with it...
There are a lot of subsidies for Japanese rice growers too but I think this is primarily because without them they would not be competitive with American imports.

I completely agree. What's more interesting here is that sex is actually _important_ for both partners' health.

Not sure if there was any kind of a research, but generally, it's a known fact - fuck your woman and she'll be happy. Respect her and she'll respect you. Pretty much the same goes vice versa, except some women tend to fuck man's brain. It's better to avoid such people, unless you are a masochist, who doesn't care about its life and the lifetime.

No sex -> no relationships.
No mutual respect -> no relationships.

There are lots of demands for making things concurrent, fault-tolerant and distributed nowadays, not only in big companies but also among startups. Erlang already has those features as well as standard tools (OTP) which lets everyone to create something simply.

However among all the languages which run on top of Erlang virtual machine (BEAM) like LFE, Elixir, Efene, Luerl, Erlog, and such the Elixir has an active and bigger community, more interesting frameworks and wider adoption. So it could be claimed that it helped to introduce Erlang values to a wider range of developers.
My point is that this sort of studies has been done over and over again, and they repeat the same results pretty much all the time. Have you ever heard anyone say that a good relationship is due to partners not talking and not having sex?

Ever since the myth of the "obedient and silent wife" was dispelled in the '60s and '70s, it looks to me as intuition and research in this particular field overlapped fairly consistently. The interesting question would now be "why do people not do this already, even when rational and well-educated?". That would be noteworthy.

I don't know, maybe the point of this research was getting down to the details (which they do, a bit), but the overall structure is the same as always.
Excellent. I hope this is the first of several CEOs to lose their jobs over a lackadaisical approach to following the law. I cannot stand the attitude that several of the most "successful" startups follow that laws are just barriers to profit, and I think more CEOs (and investors) should be held accountable for blatantly ignoring these laws on their way to many billions of dollars.

Uber, Airbnb and Theranos come to mind first. As much as I want to see the daily fantasy sports put out of business, they at least had the foresight to punch a legal hole in the system to try to create a business (and not to mention they seem to be in the death throes anyhow).

It bothers me that investors seem to be so nonchalant about investing in a business that is in very questionable legal circumstances. I don't really know how to solve it, but it feels like investors do their due diligence (I hope!), but figure that the legal system is slow so there's a good chance that they can exit before any legal ramifications kick in.

This is kind of how YouTube Red works.

Keep in mind that YT is more like a publisher than an actual content source. The content source is thousands of video producers from all over the world. These content sources normally rely on adverts to profit from their videos, but YT Red suppresses the adverts and instead pays the content producer from a pool of money (e.g. instead of getting 1c/view from the advertiser, they get 1c/view from YT Red).

PS - Yes, "YouTube Red" is a terrible name and sounds like a porn site.
