I both appreciate and agree with your point, but in this case I think the issues was that their new CEO had to assume that, given the high visibility of the company, whatever message he was going to send out to his internal team was also going to get leaked to the press.

If you are in that type of situation, you have to chose between your employees and external parties, and looks like he decided that creating a trusted relationships with his employees was more important...
>"About 80% of small business loan applications in the US are denied."

Wow, I thought 80% was an overstatement. You are very much correct with regards to the "big" banks.

See: "big banks – that is, banks with $10 billion or more in assets – approved of 21.3 percent of small business loan applications in January 2015, up from 21.1 percent the month prior" [0]

Not the world's greatest source, but informative none the less:

How to Find Your MBTI Type
Like @dalyons said, we learned a lot. There was already a lot of overlap between YC and IK12 (for instance, YC partners were regular speakers, and @gralston is a partner at both).

To have them merging while still maintaining an 'edtech' vertical is a natural step that will strengthen both brands. Great news.
> Why should someone add a sporting rule that can endanger people?

Completely agree. The purpose of sport (in our modern day) is well-being. We should not force anyone to (within reason) be expected to hurt themselves.

However, it strikes me that we are failing to use science in a way that could contribute to sport or human advancement in general. The vast majority of modern doping has no negative health outcomes. The steroid era of the 80s are gone. Many of the most pervasive forms of doping, such as blood doping, EPO, etc. naturally occur in your body.

It has gotten so bad that the NCAA does not permit excessive coffee drinking, as it is considered a form of doping. Furthermore, if you permitted these forms of doping, then the marginal advantage of other more dangerous drugs would be reduced.
Interesting part about QFuses. How are they actually implemented in the hardware?
> same goes with Mozilla and Rust.

Dynamic linking in Rust is as easy as passing in a single compiler flag, which is what I expect distro package managers will do when building packages written in Rust.
Disagree. Your linkages are backwards.

This is about liquidity.

Lower rates are a way to create liquidity (as it makes is painful to hold onto cash).

I get the impression that the primary reason for systemd using cgroups was "security". This in that it provided the means of namespace isolating daemons.

This in turn because if you follow Poetterings project history it starts with him creating Pulseaudio to handle moving between sound devices while in use, then crated Avahi to provide a means of Pulseaudio equipped computers to find each other on a network, and then came Systemd based on what he learned about daemon security while writing Avahi.

Sadly i can't shake the feeling that the security in systemd is all too often leaning towards "security theater".
> This is a misunderstanding, and is what I was pointing out.

No. You are misunderstanding things.

> because an observer infinitely far away can't see it

No, it's not that the observer can't see it (too hard to see or something like that). It never occurs in the timeline of the observer.

From the point of view of the observer it never actually exists. That it exists from the point of view of someone else is irrelevant. It's not a semantic game about I can see it you can't.

It literally and actually simply does not exist.

(Not to mention the context is gravity waves, so if it never exists from the point of view of the observer it also can't make gravity waves.)

Do you not consider this to be compelling a defendant to testify against themselves? (At least assuming the password only exists in their memory and not written down somewhere.) And more importantly, how do you deal with the case where a person legitimately lost or corrupted their key/password or has an automated system to destroy the key if some unrelated event occurs like power failure, an incorrect password attempt, a Bluetooth disconnect, or a wipe if the device is in an unfamiliar location. Is having a system like that a criminal offense itself?
Wow this is pretty impressive. Good job OP
The same is also true for men, unless you start with the belief that the misogyny is a baseline factor that women have to deal with. But that's what this analysis is trying to figure out. Chicken and egg maybe?
> When are US banks going to come around to open banking? They need to come around to the model where they provide the infrastructure and let third parties manage the customer interaction.

When they have an incentive to. No one is going to change their business unless financially incentivized to do so.

To your other point, you can use Bancorp bank if you want to build a tech platform on top of a real bank. That's how BankSimple (now just Simple.com) built their platform.
Is it because of incredibly dumb tax laws?

reads article

yup.

Fatca is a pretty gross law.
It's the more subtle instances of this that always are the most worrying to me, to be honest.

Imagine you have a data pipeline that spans multiple hosts, and you want telemetry on when an entity passes through each step? Suddenly you have to start caring about clock alignment in an order of magnitude comparable with network transit/computation time (microseconds) and that level of skew happens VERY often. There are certainly ways around this in how you build your system, but it's something that _must_ be considered and I find often isn't.
But that content is already being freely distributed over the airwaves. They just provided another means of accessing it. The only reason the broadcasters opposed Aereo is that they were afraid people might cut the cable. The current system is a bizarre pyramid of misincentives. I really believe the decision against Aereo came down to fear of what would happen if that pyramid needed to be fundamentally rethought, as it will eventually definitely need to be. It was basically a gift to the established players to hopefully give them another couple decent years before they actually have to innovate. It's rather telling that they could pretty trivially live stream their over-the-air content, obviating the purpose of an Aereo, but they simply choose not to.

Luu's claims made me hold off on pushing people to contribute to Julia as I waited for corroboration (or refutation) of them. I appreciate you linking to that very fair post that replies to it. The contrast between how the two of your present your claims adds credibility to yours. I also got a great laugh out of part about one guy that barely speaks English using the project as a personal Stackoverflow. A problem I'd have not anticipated starting a language/compiler project haha.

Curious, are you all still coding the internals of the compiler in femtolisp, is most of it written in Julia indirectly relying on that, or no LISP now? A barrier to entry question basically.

I so wish this was true, banks are the dinosaurs of IT. I understand they have security in mind, but it's not possible that in 2016 I still have to go to a branch of my UK bank to get some things done. An open API would allow 3rd parties to revolutionize the UX.
In American Football, can you throw a forward pass? Or in Basketball, can you shoot three point shots? Both were not originally in those respective games, and were added. The rules of all sports are evolving, and will continue to do so.

I'm not aware of any sport that restricts your diet, or the amount of exercise or training you can perform. Yet some chemical substances are arbitrarily banned. It is anti-science!
No, the ars article talks about this. The orbital inclination of the doomed shuttle was so they could not reach the ISS, and likewise the Russian Soyuz could not launch at a similar inclination. Changing orbits seems to burn obscene amounts of fuel.

I don't fully understand why it would not have been possible to put a Soyuz in a different orbit but with a near-collision course though.

Slava @ RethinkDB here.

"Developer preview" means we're still going through internal testing processes. The code review is still in progress (the windows port hasn't been merged into next yet), and the build hasn't been widely tested in the wild.

Everything seems stable and there aren't major known bugs, but there is still work to do before we can label the windows port production ready.
I don't think anyone thinks that he meant that.

The Internet hate machine on this issue has been driven almost entirely by that very thought. Andreessen's even been forced to say, "To be clear, I am 100% opposed to colonialism, and 100% in favor of independence and freedom, in any country, including India."

https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/697488911350652928

Why would anyone have to make such an absurd clarification if that wasn't exactly what has become a widespread interpretation?

The original title of the Bloomberg article (which has since been rewritten, and is the submitted article for this HN thread) was "Marc Andreessen Pro-Colonialism Tweet Riles India Tech World," with subheds to the same effect.
Not to recover 7 astronauts. And that only matters if they were prepared to launch inside of 14 days, which the vast majority of vehicles are not.

Regardless, the Soyuz can only hold 110 lbs of extra weight beyond three crew members. So they'd need almost as many skeleton-crew Soyuz modules as there were crew aboard Columbia.

AFAIK it's unknown - there's a controller on the SoC which is responsible for reading/writing the fuses, but its firmware is in mask ROM and isn't available. Perhaps it's a real chemical reaction? Maybe it's just emulated in firmware? Your guess is as good as mine.
I couldn't find anything about supported platforms on the site. Will this target Linux, or just OSX?
I disagree. The opposite is ridiculously pushed from what I can tell of the online-manifestation of western culture. Rather, what I'd argue is the elephant in the room, is that it doesn't matter which of the two is the right answer. We should take responsibility for doing the right thing, regardless if our nature or our surroundings made us a certain way.

Barring certain extreme cases, of course, such as mental illness and such.
Discussion, I guess. I'd love to hear some counter-examples.

My only rhetoricism in the comment was that "everybody" was probably an exaggeration; more accurate would be "most people".
Stories like this greatly depress me. I've been aware of the phenomenon since a young age, when my identically-aged first cousin and I were assigned to count yellow cars in the street in exchange for a small cash reward for each one we identified so as to temporarily relieve the adults of our company at the time. My cousin (whose parents are pretty jolly and easygoing) professed to detect three times as many yellow cars as I did. I'm pathologically honest (probably because I grew up in an abusive environment where even a small transgression was liable to result in a severe beating) and I was simply astonished at my cousin's willingness to maximize his reward at what seemed to me to be an insanely high level of risk. I learned much later in life that my father had bullied my uncle growing up and that the uncle's response was to develop peer-teaming strategies while my father went on to a successful but rather lonely and extremely competitive executive career.

To this day I have a very hard time dealing with any sort of economic activity that has more than a whiff of subjective advantage and am deeply uncomfortable accepting any sort of unexpected windfall, to the point of refusing well-earned and freely-offered promotions and having great difficulty enjoying gifts. I have literally gone hungry and been late on my rent because of an unwillingness to deposit a check (in payment for work) for an amount greater than I had expected to receive. Needless to say, this has had a pretty dire and cumulative effect on my career, material wellbeing etc. :-/

I forgot to add that the one context where this does pay off for me, although I rarely indulge in it, is playing Poker - since elaborate bluffing and systematic dishonesty is actually a legitimate play strategy in that game I'm able to manufacture tells and run a 'slow loser' strategy with ease and frequently walk off with the entire pot. I've never had the resources or risk tolerance to try it against professionals, though.

Meditation is vague word. There's guides for how to do this online and in books. I tried a bunch until some worked. Basic thing was just letting go of most thoughts, focusing on one thing, intending it to happen, and letting it happen without forcing it. You need feedback like a monitor showing you numbers and paying attention to feel of your own body. Eventually, some part of brain delivers. It delivers better over time.

Best I can describe. The breathing tricks were most valuable as breathing and mental state are so interconnected. Comes in handy for calming down or pumping up. Also helpful in forms of meditation.
Facebook, as well as most of the code out there, is still using CommonJS, since there are very real issues with ES6 modules that are still unresolved[1]

As if the timeline wasn't fucked up already. Why even call it that?
Because 1) the question is why the US - unlike every other country except Eritrea - has this policy, 2) it's difficult or at least expensive to renounce citizenship, and 3) it's only been in the last 10 years or so that many Americans have even heard of this requirement.

As you can read in this thread, it costs over $2,000 to file renunciation, and your taxes need to be in order. Resolving the tax situation in this case sounds quite expensive. Oh, and I think you have to pay taxes for up to 10 years after renunciation, and you can't renounce until you're 18 years old.

Suppose you were born in the US while your British parents were finishing up a college education. You left the US when you were 6 months old. You've not back to the US, you have no US relatives, you don't know anything about US taxes, or Selective Service requirements, or other obligations of US citizens, and have no plans to even visit the US. Then at the age of 40 you realize that you are under US law. You want to renounce citizenship, but learn you'll need to pay $150K in penalties, even though you've been paying UK taxes all your life and would never have needed to pay US taxes had you filed. You only have $50K in savings.

What do you do, and how do you think you would feel?
I'm not a tax expert but don't think the scenario you describe is correct.

In most countries when you inherit it's the estate that is taxed and generally the estate is taxed in country of domicile of the estate rather than citizenship of the recipient.

In your scenario the estate would would be taxed by the country of domicile, and then the remaining money transferred to you. If you were a US person then you would be taxed on any interest or capital gains from that point onwards.

That said this kind of thing is generally fairly complex (determining country of domicile for example is not obvious) so generally you would involve an accountant or tax professional.

I don't mean to give you a smart ass answer but there is no such thing as "quickly build relationships". Relationships take time to build and cannot be done too quickly. However, you can start off with a good impression by being open, honest and most importantly a good listener to your co-workers. Show genuine interest in them but don't over do it. Talk to them about non-work related stuff if they seem interested. Respect their space/privacy but go hang out with them once in a while. Appreciate their work no matter how mimimal it may be.

Ah. That's what makes it useful. Writing

by hand would seem to indicate you're using the wrong tool for the job. But if other tools use curl commands as a notation for HTTP requests, curl command to programming language conversion has a real use case.
That makes some intuitive sense, but I would raise two problems for that thought experiment.

Firstly, I very much doubt you will see negative rates within consumer or retail products, or even attached to the rates seen by pension funds who usually don't sit on cash held in cash saving accounts held with the Fed.

Secondly, I would think that if I were pension fund manager or an individual saving for retirement and I somehow encountered negative rates that persisted for cash savings, I would look for other types of investments that offer higher returns, or in the case of individuals, just spend the money as going to the cinema has greater utility than getting 0% returns on your investment. You would have to pessimistically assume that there are no viable investment opportunities with returns above 0% for your thought experiment to carry some water, which seems very unlikely.

If you have a Euro passport, you might as well torch your American one. There is no benefit to being identified as an American overseas when you have a European passport.

I wonder if it's government regulation that's driven British banks to be innovators.

"Faster payments" (electronic payments that clear within 2 hours, usually minutes) were requested by the government. [1].

The Current Accounts Switching Service [2] makes it much easier (zero effort for the customer) to transfer a current account to a different bank, which the government also required.

In fact, that's led me to "7 ways banking has been made easier", [3], from the government.

So, some open data standards seem the natural progression from this.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_Payments_Service#Backgr...

[2] https://www.gov.uk/government/news/bank-account-switching-se...

[3] https://www.gov.uk/government/news/7-ways-banking-has-been-m...

Edit to add: The first paragraph of the executive summary of the report is "In the 2015 Budget HM Treasury announced its commitment to delivering an open standard for Application Programming Interfaces in UK banking, to help customers have more control over their data and to make it easier for financial technology companies (FinTechs) or other businesses to make use of bank data on behalf of customers in a variety of helpful and innovative ways."
