I somehow stumbled onto Kubernetes, it met all of my needs for a complete setup, and now I'm sticking to it. I really enjoy using it.

Before that happened, I felt the exact same way. I still do. Docker, HashiCorp, CoreOS, Google and Amazon are all fighting for control, some building on the work of others, some developing their own solutions, some targeting different markets, some targeting the same market. It's incredibly messy, confusing and yet also somehow supposed to make my life easier.

Well, supposedly don't. But I doubt anybody would want it to bring it to court though.

In Nigeria and Ghana, important projects are left undone by the ruling parties because they are long term projects.

Because, the opposing party would be the ones to reap the rewards, and praise from the populace.

They'd instead focus on building new roads instead of maintaining existing ones, building new schools instead of improving existing ones, starting new high sounding schemes instead of continuing projects the previous regime begun.

And btw plants convert CO2 to O2.
Early funding is a very small part of the overall pool of capital available. If every seed round is $2.5 million, 10,000 seed deals (~100X YC's size) is $25 billion in capital spent.

For context:
- It's less than ten percent of Google's market cap ($490 billion) [0]
- The average Series D or later round is 40x higher ($100 million) [1]
- It's less than a tenth of a percent of the US bond market ($40 trillion.) [2]

Net - seed funding is just not a lot of money compared to the market at large. If founders and VCs have money, they can spend it. It gets very different later on.

I realize this is a good way to maximize value for investors

Full stop there. This post is about attracting investors. From my experience in the fundraising world, there doesn't exist an investor who has the goal of "building a better society" over maximizing return. At best it's a nice to have feature of an investment that it's making something better.

How so? I don't see how Google could stop DuckDuckGo.

It's not really relevant either, the two companies aren't really the same types of businesses. DDG is a very niche, and I doubt it would scale to the size of Google. Likewise Google have to make some compromises, that DDG will not, to finance it self.
I learned incrementally. At first I used Scala just for properties. It's 2016, Java8 and we still don't have properties? W--T--F! (unless you count JavaFX).

Over time, I learned slowly to use vals or var, that I don't need to initialize a return value and ship it at the end, and how to build up mapping.

The syntax; I agree with you totally. I just got hired by a company doing Scala and OMG that codebase. I'm seeing all kinds of constructs I haven't used yet.

I still prefer Scala over Java, but there is a high cost to entry.
Yes. 6 plants, 3 budding.
I have have a look after Ricochet it just uses Tor for clearing metadata. We had in the past prototypes with tor enabled messaging on mobile and it is not work as expected. Always too long to start on iOS (that can't execute in background), but we found a way to make it work much better i hope in some day we will be able to make it work together, but now it is much better to use tor proxy somewhere and point app to it. Not very user friendly.

If primes derived from pi are not suspect, then that surely goes for primes derived from 1/pi, e, sqrt(2)... as well?

If someone uses 1/pi, the first question they face is going to be "why not pi". If you need a series of values, sqrt(p) is reasonable, but if you're just looking for one value then using sqrt(17) is going to look suspicious.

What about bit order, byte order?

What about them? Primes don't have bit or byte orderings. They're just integers.

If you say "I generated this prime by taking Pi, writing it as a series of bytes, permuting those bytes, and then interpreting those as an integer", people will be very suspicious.

I've found ConEmu a reasonable substitute for xterm+tmux/dwm.

Cmd.exe isn't so bad after installing clink for readline behavior and learning a few idioms.

The only thing really bothersome is the lack of job control (partially obviated by ConEmu), which I didn't see in Cash.
Thanks for taking the time to look into that!! I appreciate both the time you took and the quality of the research you did. Thanks!! :)
I'll pile on. I'm currently sitting on 13th/Penn in lower Capitol Hill. If there is a spot in Denver that should be covered in smoke, this is it. I smell nothing.

I live very close. Every now and then my neighbor smokes on his back porch. I can count the number of times on one hand I've smelt pot from my back yard.

Walking around the city, which I frequently do, I very rarely see people consuming pot. Occasionally from an alley on 16th and that's about it.

Mathematica is an insidious pox on the research community. Research needs to be open and verifiable, not obfuscated and closed. If the system you are using to perform calculations is just a giant black box, it's often extremely difficult to understand what is actually going on under the hood, which makes it very difficult to check for mistakes.

Here's a good reddit thread about some really terrible arithmetic errors in mathematica: https://m.reddit.com/r/math/comments/2kjyrc/known_error_in_m...

As a computer scientist doing physics research, I don't understand how my colleagues put up with the terrible trifecta of mathematica, matlab, and labview. These are some of the lowest-quality and most frustrating pieces of software I have ever had to put up with, yet they are ubiquitous in many research communities. There are vastly superior solutions that are free, open-source, and, as far as I can tell, much easier to use.

Every day I see students and researchers struggling to circumvent the idiosyncratic and senseless designs of these softwares. I think it might just be a vicious cycle of professors only knowing shitty software, so the students only use shitty software, don't learn good software, become professors, and the cycle repeats.
I had to do early morning flights to a city about an hour away pretty frequently for all days meetings, flight back same day.

With security this meant getting up at 4 to catch a 7:30 flight, to get to the meetings by 9:30, all day in a conference room, leave at 5 to get to the airport for a 7:30pm flight to get home by 9:30 or 10:00pm.

Flying business class changed the whole dynamic. I was fed a real breakfast in the morning instead of getting the shakes from a relatively empty stomach and too much coffee. I got a hot towel to wipe my face with and feel human when I showed up at the meeting.

On the way back a light dinner and a glass of wine with a little elbow room.

The extra 30% for business class was well worth it.

If I was staying overnight, perhaps not.
This. We don't need a slew of startups to solve this problem; it's called talking, and it can be done via any of several existing {meat,cyber}space communications channels.

(I'm hardly a Luddite; rather, I think there's a lack of appreciation for basic interpersonal communication as a powerful technology in its own right.)

I don't remember where, but in recent memory I saw an article about an apartment building where residents would mark their doors with icons representing appliances/tools they were willing to share - a simple solution for an easily solved problem. (See also: rideshare boards on campuses, bulletin boards and flyers in local shops, local community centers, etc.)
Yeah, I've moved frequently enough in the past few years that I dare not buy very much in case I have to move again!
But, come on. Here's the process they used:

We begin with 17 natural constants: π, e, Euler gamma, √2, √3, √5, √7, log(2), (1 + √5)/2, ζ(3), ζ(5), sin(1), sin(2), cos(1), cos(2), tan(1), and tan(2). We extend this list by including reciprocals. We then convert to constants between 0 and 1 in three different ways: take the fractional part; divide by 256 and discard any minus sign; or take all bits starting from the most significant (i.e., divide by an appropriate power of 2), again discarding any minus sign. Removing duplicates produces 73 starting seeds.

For the hash function, we are using the 10 variants of Keccak listed above. As length for each seed, we use either 20, 32, 48, 64, or 128 bytes, or the block size of the Keccak configuration (6 choices). The seed is either stored in big-endian or little-endian format (2 choices). In order to update the seed during the generation procedure, we are using a counter of length either 0 (i.e., the seed itself is incremented), 2, 3, 4, or 8 bytes (5 choices), either at the beginning or at the end of the seed (2 choices). We either truncate the seed to the right length or round it to the right length (2 choices); note that in many cases these are identical. Finally, we are using several different ways to update the counter between generation of a and b and to choose the order of generating a and b (8 choices). All in all, we have 73 · 10 · 6 · 2 · 5 · 2 · 2 · 8 = 1401600 possible configurations, mostly different, with a high probability to find a procedure that produces the desired vulnerability.

They ended up using picky encoding of cos(1) and a counter that ticked 184 times, and they got a = 0x7144BA12CE8A0C3BEFA053EDBADA555A42391AC64F052376E041C7D4AF23195EBD 8D83625321D452E8A0C3BB0A048A26115704E45DCEB346A9F4BD9741D14D49.

It's not like they simply got a=BADA55... from pi.

Those folks lack expertise in the domain. Sequences are simply abstract representations of real molecules, and knowledge of sequence means very little without exercising effort and rigor to understand structure and function.

And if you use "it won't be perfectly secure under X mitigation strategy" as an excuse to avoid doing X, your software will also be less secure.
Thanks for the suggestion! We'll certainly look into Freebase. We don't use the google maps API to plot the points, only the map itself. So we don't need limit ourselves to these restrictions. In this case we render the points with SVG, but can also do this with webGL for better performance.

This site[0] appears to provide a referenced timeline and breakdown of the feasibility of Tesla's particle beam weapon. The author's conclusion seems to be that, while the principle may be sound (particle beams do exist), in actual practice the energy required to meet Tesla's claims would be infeasible even in the modern era - and certainly would have been impossible in Tesla's day.

However, The "death ray" proper only appears to have been developed decades after Tunguska (Tesla mentions working on it in 1934, Tunguska was 1908[1]), so it seems to be out of the running as a possible catalyst. The Tesla Society, predictably, has a page on this[2] that links to a number of articles from the time[3] describing Tesla's claims about wireless energy transmission and its potential as a weapon.

Could Tesla's energy experiments have caused the Tunguska Event? That probably depends on the plausibility of his ideas about long-range power transmission.

Wireless tranmission of electricity is possible, however, that alone doesn't mean the idea scales. Unfortunately, because Tesla, finding an objective, scientifically grounded discussion of Tesla's ideas and technology given modern knowledge on the internet was difficult. Quora[4][5] implies that Tesla, for all his genius, simply didn't realize his process would have been too inefficient to work at the scales he envisioned. As with the "death ray," it seems the energy required would have been impossible[6].

Nikola Tesla also claimed to have created an earthquake generator - which was debunked on Mythbusters[7][8]. He also claimed to be in contact with aliens[8]. The truth about Nikola Tesla is, while he was an unparalleled genius, he was also sometimes spectacularly wrong.

I tried Google Container Engine (GKE) and really liked it - it's the best cloud solution for deploying Docker to production in my opinion, mainly due to its use of Kubernetes. Unfortunately in my Web apps I make heavy use of Postgres-specific features, and since Cloud SQL only supports MySQL, Google Cloud is a total non-starter for me.

So for now I'm on AWS, using Postgres on RDS and deploying containers with ECS. ECS is a lot simpler than Kubernetes, but since my apps are pretty simple (a half dozen task definitions), it's not a big deal. I really hope Google adds Postgres to Cloud SQL at some point.
Thanks for the thorough but concise summary.

> If the buyer wants to do an LBO, they can use the cash to finance it. (Strange how that works!)

Agreed. If you can't figure out what to do with your cash, someone else with less insider knowledge and experience will. AKA they'll rebalance your books, make the tough cuts that you can't, point you in a new direction, and exit at 5-10x their initial investment in a couple of years.
Maybe your native language has metaphors similar to English, or maybe your friends are better at learning English than my friends. :P

But my point is that many metaphors look "natural" only after you learn it: you have to memorize them, and you think it's natural only because you've been doing it all your life.

E.g., "hot-headed" is a decidedly English metaphor. In Korean, "his head is getting hot" would mean he's getting annoyed/angry at the present situation, not that he has a propensity for getting annoyed in general (which is what English "hot-headed" means).

Similarly, English "cool" doesn't just mean "the situation isn't hot."; it also implies a positive situation. In contrast, you can say "The show only received a lukewarm reception.", but you can't say "It's OK, he was lukewarm about the mishap."

As another example, in Korean, you "turn blue" when you're shocked/aghast, not when you're gloomy. All this stuff is basically a minefield of subtle misunderstandings.

> I'd close the first, say, $200k from the first reasonably good investors that offer it on reasonable terms--say a $5 million pre-money valuation or higher. This removes some uncertainty and pressure, gives you capital to execute with while raising the rest of your round, puts you in a stronger position, etc. It's worth a discount for all of this.

Wow 5MM pre-money for seed is considered reasonable (and considered a discount) nowadays? Or have I misinterpreted?
Even if the "Searching X is like searching Y" were true which it rarely is, the issue is that "proper legal controls" don't get executed. Even in the traditional realm.

Once we have transparency and controls in place to make sure traditional laws are being used properly we can begin a careful deliberation on expanding those laws.

Docker Cloud (formerly Tutum) probably only duplicates the control plane aspect of DDC. It's also "in the cloud" versus hosted inside of your own enviroment - which a lot of people with big builds want.

This is only my experience on long flights. In 2007 I had a $600 coach seat from NYC to Ireland (may have been a connection I do not recall). The first-class seats were in the upper $4k range.

My wife and I fly from the northern east coast of the US to the southern east coast once a year, the tickets are roughly $650 total for coach (including $50/person for the "Comfort +" seats). First class has never risen past ~$950.
Sure, one less competitor in the market.
Many current migraine treatments (such as triptans and ergotamine) are serotonin agonists designed to induce vasoconstriction. The "classic psychedelics" are also serotonin agonists.

Migraine treatments target different subparts of the serotonin system than psychedelics do (migraine: primarily 5HT1B/5HT1D vs psychedelics: 5HT2A). However, from what I see, a lot of the classic "popular psychedelics" don't tend to be very selective, and act on a lot of the serotonin system as well as other systems such as glutamate (5HT2A agonism by itself is not necessarily psychedelic).

Consequently, LSD for instance seems to have quite an affinity for 5HT1B (with a touch of 5HT1D), and psilocin for 5HT1D (and a touch of 5HT1B). So reports of LSD and psilocin being effective against migraines aren't surprising.
There's also a lot of thrash in this space right now. If you don't have the time or don't want to be a trail blazer use Boring Technology ™ until someone else figures it out for you. Perfectly acceptable approach, imo.

This is what we do too, but to be fair its only because at our wealth level we can pretty much buy everything we want, within reason. Its different for poorer people. Getting a 42" TV when you can't afford one yourself is a wonderful feeling. I hate this idea that now that everything is mass produced and relatively "cheap" we suddenly see ourselves as above it all because we make decent money. Err, not really.

The only real reason I decry gift giving on my birthday is because I have so much shit I'm temporarily satisfied, not because I'm above having shit. If I couldn't afford some of those things and someone got one of them for me I'd be overjoyed.

Its also weird to hear that people think its minimalist to own a smartphone and laptop. Those devices do so many things, they're the equivalent of hundreds of gadgets. Or how "I don't own a TV" is the clarion call of the intellectual hipster but he spends his days shitposting on the internet, binging netflix, subscribing to hundreds of youtube channels, etc.
