Greenville's the biggest school district in the state so like any area, schools will vary. There are some very, very good ones and some that are more average. The only place where "too conservative" concerns comes into play are the small private schools. There's actually one big episcopal private school that's the best school in the entire state (Christ Church Episcopal). Lot of BMW execs send their kids there.
Assuming you are making a case for the success of modern AI then this is just a difference in the scale of the failure to live up to its promises. The winged flapping flying machine never got off the ground, while the computer vision algorithms are useful in only a small subset of applications under specific conditions (not AI in my opinion).

I don't think the usefulness of such examples is a strong case that those ideas will lead us to what we really mean when we say "AI". I personally don't think we can get electrons to move fast enough across our current computer architecture to achieve human level AI, which is what google is mostly to my knowledge building their stuff on.

>I toy around with the deeply contrarian idea that what we need are significantly stronger intellectual property laws to upend this economic death spiral, but I am not at all convinced that that is the answer or that it would have any chance of working.

Or to just toss out IP laws, and every other toehold companies have that prevents their products being totally commoditized, and let the free market do its magic.

Or shift to an economy based on the social good over locking things down for profit.

Whatever.

More energy would be used up by the ethereum network to verify this token rather than an individual hackspace miner, so it should be cheaper than buying ether.

You can do stock grants with repurchase rights (which essentially vest); this is how founders usually get THEIR shares.

I see no reason not to do this for every employee in the first year or pre-Series A at a startup; the tax consequences of a grant of common stock are minimal when the common stock is worth little. We did this at a startup where I worked in 2007. I'd do it in the future. (the one "downside" is that people who have vested become real shareholders, which can trigger some information/reporting rights, but you'd have a very small number of people pre-A, and I'm pro information transparency.)

The other thing which would be interesting to me: startups offering shares via their own 401k.
And some places even run smaller buses. Here in the DC area, we have articulated buses, standard ones, and even smaller ones—about 60 percent of the size of a standard bus. It's rare to get the ideal size at the right time in an area of such bad traffic, but they do make an attempt.
Is it legally binding in some way? Is there a funded trust set aside with a charter and instructions on how to handle caretaking services once svbtle itself has shut down? No? Well then these are just words, which will be meaningless when the shit hits the fan.

You can have all the best intentions in the world, when the walls close in and you need to think about your mortgage, paying the light bill, and keeping food in your stomach I can guarantee you that keeping someone else's blog running will be so far down the list of priorities it'll get trampled underfoot.

This isn't rocket science, lots of human beings have figured out how to set up organizations and funds to continue doing work after they are long dead. Alfred Nobel died over a hundred years ago, for example. But it requires setting aside money now to make that guarantee, not just some nice sounding words on the internet.
I hate to bikeshed, but the amount of wasted vertical screen space [1] makes me almost a little angry. Web designers: if you think it's a good idea to reimplement basic browser functionality (scrolling), or to emulate the UX of HTML frames, please think again.

I’m not sure what your point is or how it contradicts the part of the opinion you quoted. Sure, the founding fathers weren’t perfect and the sedition act seems downright deplorable, but the wiki article you referenced describes how the law helped propel the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans to power at which point it was repealed. Seems like the process worked pretty well.
Thanks @sdesol for the fantastic feedback. It's great that you took the time to write this down.
This is such a horrendous idea. Apart from the fact that this does virtually nothing, this is a prime example of the difference between security and obscurity and how neither is the other.

If the land and property aren't worth anything, thats an awful investment I'll grant you.

I'm actually a stock trader, so it's even more skewed for me and would be a good example. Let's say I get paid $50 per year. At the end of the year, depending on my/our performance, I will get paid between $0 and $200 as a bonus, which I wouldn't count as part of my base comp.

I was a product architect in advertising for a brief period. About half the job involved writing all sorts of technical documentation, including functional specifications for developers, internal and user-facing API docs, and user guides for websites, apps, and installations we built. I loved this part of the work because of how it was a mix of both info design (you're practically a graphic designer in this respect) and rigorous research that usually involved consulting the designers and devs for knowledge, but sometimes external specialists as well.

To be a product architect you need to:

- Express interest/expertise in learning (constantly) about existing and emerging products/systems/technologies

- Be creative (product definition is your job after all)

- Understand all the moving parts of software development (what do the BE developers do, what do the UX designers do and when, etc)

- Be business savvy

IMO the broad skill-set requirement and critical nature of the position makes it a hard job, but if you love technical writing and already know a bit about software/programming then you could easily fall in love with this line of work.
The problem is in iTunes's server side component, not the app running in OS X on user computers. But yeah, it should have kept up.
I could see it as substantial if it was attached to a public strategy of longevity, but sans a sweeping organizational shift designed for sustainability over the long term, this amounts to nothing more than words.

I'm thinking something on the level of changing into a non-profit organization with a backing trust to support the continued existence and maintenance of the product. Similar models have worked throughout history, and it would be ground-breaking to do something similar for the concept of digital content.

(Edit: apparently this is what Posthaven is trying to do, and has taken steps to at least attempt to set up. Sounds difficult!)
Vive doesn't come with it's own middleware so it will require Steam and SteamVR to function so while it might eventually "work" on Linux it wouldn't be the open Linux support people might expect at least not initially.

Valve has another project called OpenVR (which still somewhat requires the closed source SteamVR to work) and it's reportedly (again unconfirmed) working with Razer on OSVR.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Virtual_Reality

There are some hacked together OSVR drivers for Oculus but they are barely functional atm, the biggest problem with OpenVR, Unity VR and various other VR projects is that they only offer part of the middleware which will serve as an abstraction layer for the proprietary device drivers, OSVR seems to at least try and solve it by developing vendor agnostic drivers and open vendor specific ones.

Oculus went the other way saying that open source API's are a bad idea atm as the technology is too immature for generic abstractions and that vendor specific low level access is required to utilize current headsets efficiently which might be very well true.

Valve's OpenVR will eventually work great with Vive through SteamVR as they can still maintain low level vendor specific access and while Oculus, GearVR and various other VR/AR headsets might also work the results might necessarily be that stellar.

So ATM there is a mishmash of VR API's Unity is doing their own thing by providing integrated VR API with their engine, Unreal supports Oculus and is also working on it's own generic API, Oculus has it's own VR middleware (which is also the one for Samsung's GearVR) and lastly there is Valve with OpenVR/SteamVR.

Eventually the winner will not be the best implementation but who's going to have the better 3rd party support, Oculus being the older guy in the block currently has it but Valve has a monopoly on the digital distribution and isn't shy of using and even abusing their power.

The VR wars of 2016-2018 will be the new Betamax vs. VHS / HD-DVD vs. BluRay.

And as far as future predictions go I wonder how Apple will play into this, given their track record of emerging technology adoption (or in Appleish "invention") I expect a "VR/AR" addon around 2018 and Apple isn't exactly known for embracing multi-vendor open ecosystems.

Since mobile/integrated computing is the future of VR as it will allow you to dump all the cables and other nonsense by the time the market will look like it's about to settle Apple might actually disrupt it again which is something they've haven't really done in about a decade.
This never made much sense to me. Even the capital letter W at 12 point repeated 2,560 times fills up 1 page plus another 10 lines. Maybe 2,560 bytes printed out as ones and zeros? That still seems like it would only work out to 11 pages at 12 point.

> If you're going to have a reliable encyclopedia, where there's a pretty good chance that any sentence in the site is true, then there's a negative externality to forests of related articles: each one of them is an independent entry point to the site from Google, and each will attract its own edits, and all of those edits need to be policed to make sure they aren't lies.

If this were a risk that we were correctly balancing against, you'd expect there would be some notable base rate of unreliable articles causing readers problems. But I never have this sort of problem. I'm never frustrated because I found something unreliable on Wikipedia, because I can always be skeptical of uncited information.

Elsewhere you asked for examples of damage done by the deletionists. So let me flip it around on you. What are example articles right now that you think are putting a large burden on the community that should be cut?

(As an aside, note the asymmetry: When too many hard-to-police articles are kept, there's ample examples to discuss. But when too many niche articles are deleted, I can't point to anything. I just say "huh, I guess my local taco stand doesn't have an article". And I can never know if it's because no one was interested to write one or because it wasn't notable enough to make the cut...or because the person who was interested enough to write it new it wouldn't make the cut.)
100 Days of Rejection Therapy Can Make You Fearless
1 reason I can think of is when copying and pasting - the text formatting used from where you copied the string from can come over with the text. So your not pasting in just a number but potentially html / css with it.

For obvious reasons, this could be a problem and instead of stripping the html / css / garbage - it's easier to just prevent the action entirely.
From my understanding: if the page as a whole is not obfuscated then irrespective of how much messed-up html and JS you couch the ad in, then the ad blocker can just remove the base element.

If the entire page is obfuscated it becomes a more difficult problem.

That's a good point -- not willing to relocate can certainly be interpreted ambiguously.

My company is a mid-stage startup of ~30 distributed across Cincinnati (75%), NYC (20%), and SF (5%). I would say we're semi-remote: most of our tech team works from home 1-4 days per week. I've personally done a few trips working remotely in another U.S. city one week at a time. In our case the culture isn't quite ready to accommodate a person being fully remote, though I'm hoping to be the guinea pig.

For anyone reading this and looking for fully remote, there's a nice "database" of remote jobs in this GitHub repo.

From their webpage: "Nearly ten years ago the ReactOS Project released version 0.3.0. Today we are proud to announce the formal release of version 0.4.0. ".

This is the problem. Going from 0.3 to 0.4 in TEN years means that you cannot be commercially successful.

As much as I admire ReactOS' contributors and their efforts, I have little faith in their ability to make a dent in the market.

Walgreens is looking for a way out with Theranos
Yes, agreed. He identifies one things that has changed: securities law that now makes it possible to extend options exercise windows past 90 days, whereas previously it was practically impossible. But the bigger thing that's changed is companies are staying private longer.

Ben's strongest point is in asking "Why now?" Options have been this way since the 80s. What's changed? Nobody is examining that as closely as they should. Maybe most of us are young and hubristic and tend to discount the past. But as engineers we should all possess a certain conservatism, a healthy skepticism to changing systems that have been stable for a long time. We must look closely to ensure there are no unintended consequences.

I think it is very notable that Sam Altman said he has revised his position to require stronger incentives to stay. Early stage startups need incentives to stick together as a team. If you don't have any extra protections at the earliest stage, then you're going to have smart, happy employees face the powerful economic logic of leaving to diversify their options portfolio. And that's not good for the value of anyone's options.
The Project Proposal page has a list of potential items for people to work on. Pretty interesting!

https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016_Idea...
If you remove all financial incentives to stay after hitting a one year cliff there is a pretty strong force towards diversification that seems like it would lead to higher than desirable turnover. You can't just ignore that incentive.
Certainly sounds like a CISO would be a good hire for them.

It is only a good signal currently, because in order to voluntarily leave the employee would have to give up their options. That means they're really unhappy and don't believe in the company.

However if you change it so that early stage employees can take their options with them, then it becomes a question of "do I triple down on this one company or do I spread myself out over three." And most investment advisors will tell you to diversify your portfolio. So there is a real risk that this will lead to high turnover, even among happy employees.
Possibly no one (according to this account), but the rumors that Charles I may have been involved made it much easier to behead him 20 years later.
I comment on almost every blockchain related post I have something to add. I am not dismissive of blockchain technology but ethereum is not a technology but an implementation & I recognize its only benefit as ease of use.

The security that you mention is surely a good thing but rather an overkill in a hackspace environment. If he was purely behind mining power then he should rather start a sidechain based on litecoin.

I find it amusing that you take technical criticism so personally that you target me commenting on just a couple of ethereum post with your ad hominems. Coming to the point, I will argue based on technical viewpoints because this is HN & rather have you keep it clean too please.
Because you have a right not to incriminate yourself.

Fingerprints can be used to unlock phones because your fingerprint is part of evidence.

Even in C++, they are good when you want to encapsulate a statement that may return from the enclosing function. Every time I write a parser or interpreter in C++, I end up writing a macro like

and using it extensively.
This is a very cynical view to take. Much of your life is shaped by emulating people you have never known directly. And for the better.

Spending 800$ (or 600$ for that matter) on a 1st gen that will most likely be obsolete before there is any substantial market for it isn't something most people are willing to do, especially when you currently have to make a bet on a horse that might be dead in 1 to 2 years.
Really? How about early startups protect themselves by treating employees fairly and not trying to lock them in with equity tricks many don’t understand. The fact you suggest this course seems to indicate a certain level of disdain for employees. Try the carrot, not the stick.
