But is it compatible with YC? "Hard tech" usually means years of work and millions of dollars up front. YC is oriented towards sub-$100K fundings and a few months to "demo day".
On their Privacy page they put a check box for their entry in the comparison table for being "Open Source". And then they write:

> Our commitment to security is entirely verifiable — you don’t have to take our word for it. Wire uses open-source cryptography to encrypt all content. We made the source code for data handling available to the public under the GPL License. This means that anybody can review the source code.

This is very misleading. To provide verifiable security, the source code of the client software must also be open source, which it does not look to be. Because how else can you prove that the client software is also secure?

One explanation could be that Orcas and Humans simply don't come in contact that often.

Orcas are common where I live in British Columbia, but you really don't have that many swimmers around in contrast to tropical areas. Additionally, the local resident orcas eat salmon and I don't think they'd consider humans to be a potential food source. Transient orcas eat seals, and I could imagine them confusing a human with a seal just as great white sharks do. Maybe the migration patterns of transient orcas don't line up with when and where people swim.
This happens to me with Siri and podcasts - I listen to podcasts in my car, through my iPhone. Occasionally what people say will sound close enough to "Hey, Siri" that it stops the podcasts and and answers whatever question it could extract from the talking following what it thought was "Hey, Siri".

It's repeatable, too. One time it happened right as I was parking, on an episode of This American Life. (Or Serial. Or Planet Money. Yeah, yeah, I listen to a lot of NPR shows.) So I kept rewinding back over that part, and it kept triggering Siri.
I find lots of modules that won't build with Webpack and a very solid chunk of my available development time is spent trying to diagnose and fix problems caused by modules that won't build under Webpack. I recommend against it.

I disagree, at least at the undergraduate level.

There is no shortage of problems and solutions to check your knowledge for much of undergraduate mathematics.

As to the value of tutorial sessions for you, it is important to remember that people learn differently. Speaking with an expert is valuable, but not required in my opinion.

To really learn a subject, you have to go beyond the minimum required to get a good grade on homework and tests. You can absolutely do this in university, but I found that I was rarely willing to do so. Studying on my own, I find it easier to reach a deeper level of understanding.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Without encryption, legal and political constructs protecting privacy are nigh unenforceable.

Similarly, most records of importance to my heirs or a court case aren't solely held by me. Purchases are recorded by at least myself and the vendor, potentially with an intermediary like my CC or bank.

My tax records are retained by both myself and the IRS. In the case of a gov't case against me, they have those records. In the case of heirs needing access, they can petition the government if I failed to provide other access for some reason.

The malware example, this already happens. It can happen with or without cryptography being legal or pervasive.

> How do we reconcile wanting data to be available (free) with also wanting everything encrypted for posteriority --do we just forgo that treasure trove of data?

Who wants everything encrypted? I cannot think of a single person that's not at a very extreme ideological position that would argue for that.

Sure, but if you have high prices and high demand, that's driven by money. Where's the money coming from? And, what happens when the money runs out?
Already the author is talking about barter and "protomoney" which sets off many alarm bells for me.

I encourage anyone interested in the topic of the origins of money to read "Debt the First 5,000 Years" by David Graeber.

AFAICT there is wide consensus among anthropologists that forms of "money" existed far in human prehistory, and barter was never common in early cultures.

Dunno why you're getting downvoted for sharing American culture. Your opinion seems to be the mainstream as far as I can tell "in the real world".

I'll +1 you to counteract the downvotes.

To serve as some counter-balance to your post, the bigger SUVs (which are more typical in America) feel unbalanced with abnormally high center-of-balance. When taking a corner at any decent speed, I feel like the car is ready to flip over. Also, big cars guzzle more gas and are inefficient.

Also, I live in an area without Moose. Those things are scary, and I'd definitely get a bigger car if I lived around them.
You're totally misunderstanding my proposal. (Either on purpose as a troll, or you're just having a particularly obtuse day.)

The life structures you need to start would just be glider guns. The glider guns would fire into walls of "collector cells" which are not Conway Life entities, but are implemented by the game directly.

Likewise, the character is not a Conway Life entity, but implemented directly by the game.

I think that's going to be unplayably difficult for anyone except serious programmers

What I've envisioned might well be appreciated by Life enthusiasts.
Good C++ IDEs do the same.
"What if the heirs need that data or third parties, lawfully?"

Law states that banks have to give a notice to heirs when the original owner dies.

"What about discovery in court cases? What if someone comes up with malware which encrypts your data and you have no backup?"

Then you lose all your data. How is that a problem? You ask the bank-government for new credentials. And you learn to make copies for the next time. Not the end of the world.

It's not really that different from loosing your keys, maybe you will have to destroy your old lock and buy a new one.
Demo day expectations would be different.
The point of any accelerator is to push you forward as much as they can during those few months, so you can show a lot of progress and make the most out of a demo day.

$100K in funding can help you go a long way towards raising those millions of dollars.
I remember reading a story about farmers who like to play farming simulator games in their off time and truck drivers who like truck driving games.

Why are you even asking this question? Based on the information provided the answer is obvious. Is there something you didn't mention that is the reason you haven't left already? Do you have a few enthusiastic customers? Do you believe in the company's products or services? Do you use them yourself? Have you spoken with customers that love your company's products? Are you building valuable (i.e. specialized) skills or knowledge that will be highly marketable and want to keep ramping up before jumping ship?

Directions require more than your satellite coordinates. Map services are frequently polling servers for traffic conditions, new tiles for the map, and so on. You'd hope that these can fall back gracefully but I wouldn't put it past them to not. If you activate airplane mode and disable your phone's cellular connection, even if your phone doesn't disable the GPS receiver, directions may stop working.
Thanks for the insight. I never really thought of that aspect. Over here I'm far more likely to collide with a corolla or vw polo than a giant Jeep etc.
I don't call the U.S. a democracy, it is a democracy. The only way to say that it is not, is to change the definition of the word "democracy."

That our elected officials represent the disparate opinions of the people they serve might be their personal failing, in your view, because you disagree with them on this issue. I disagree with them too! Encryption should not be backdoored, the FBI is wrong--I agree on all those scores.

I just don't think that the only reason the encryption conversation continues is because of corrupt political elites. It's not. The conversation continues at the public level too.

The reason that matters, is what we can do about it. If public opinion is the problem, then a public campaign can try to move it. If corrupt political elites are the problem then... we throw up our hands? Isn't that just rationalizing despair and inaction?

edit: clarity
It consistently entertains me how Robert Frost was able to become one of the most quoted people of all time by getting people to quote the opposite of the meaning of his poems, just like "The Road Not Taken." Of course, this proverb is older than his application and was meant to be taken literally, but this illustrates something fundamentally important to poetry and any metaphorical language, which is that it can be interpreted in more ways than there are interpreters. It can be used to justify anything at all because of the loose connection between concept and reality.

"Border Stories" here seems to be a perfect example of the misuse of metaphor which is so rampant in modern political arguments. The argument is interesting and intelligent, but it seems unable to follow its own premise to its conclusion, that a healthy border of skepticism is necessary to maintain healthy ideas.

The flaw I see is that skepticism needs to be applied more rigorously to internally generated arguments than external ones. External arguments are naturally put into questionable territory unless they come from a trusted source. But we're biased to follow our own internal arguments because the process that led to their formation has already passed our internal filters.

I think the author is on to something when it comes to the origin of xenophobia, but connecting health to the origin doesn't necessarily mean that the conditions that created it are relevant to any specific implementation of the idea, particularly modern nation-states. Understanding how borders affect people requires a more detailed analysis of power dynamics. Otherwise, there's no real evidence that this metaphor would be beneficial to implement for the reasons stated.

At least since the Monroe Doctrine, the US has considered the entire Western Hemisphere to be its sphere of influence. You could of course argue that this has extended to the entire Eastern Hemisphere as well. There are few borders that limit the reach of US agencies which focus on exerting control on foreign nations. From the perspective of a collection of powers which aspire to hegemony, the borders which exist aren't meant to allow mutual self-development by various nations but to facilitate control by the dominant power. The stronger the borders are, the more effectively this power can be exerted in a "Divide and Conquer" strategy.

But there's a cost to applying pressure, and the more strongly this pressure is applied, the stronger the response becomes. As people lose their power, their desire to retaliate grows. If the border from their perspective only increases foreign influence and control on their lives, it doesn't make any kind of good neighbors, only disempowered and angry ones ready to fight back.
I have never seen Refs(STM) being used in a Clojure open source project, looks like they are great in theory but in practice they are another story, on other hand, core.async is much more prevalent, I do hear a lot about the use of Haskell's STM thought.
What country do you live in? In the US, gun violence is a real serious crime and the police will use all their resources to go after criminals yet we are a world leader in gun violence. It's probably something to do with guns being so unregulated, plentiful, and easy to get here...
But it is rampant in whichever location has the whole supply chain.

It was rampant in the US when there was the manufacturing workshop of the world, and rampant in the UK when they were before them.

That's certainly a factor. However, orca are not limited to cold climates, even if they are found more there. Their natural range includes all oceans,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whale#Range_and_habitat

and they can encounter humans not just when the humans are swimming - which is rare in cold climates - but also when they are fishing.

Furthermore, there are also practically no cases of other dolphins than orca killing humans, and human-dolphin encounters are not that rare. For example, even in the times of ancient Greece, dolphins were known and considered very friendly,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin#In_history_and_religio...

Other dolphins are of course significantly smaller than orca, but still very powerful when in the water.

I don't think there is an obvious answer for why wild orca have never been seen killing a human, and practically no other dolphin either. It's an interesting mystery.
What a simplistic article.

Any examination of the housing woes in SF will reveal multiple factors, playing out over decades. And yes, "new money" is definitely one of them.

siri has itself trained to a single user's voice. I've never had anyone else's voice activate my phone with "Hey Siri". Admittedly, it usually takes me saying "Hey Siri" 3 times before it recognizes my voice, but I'm 100% certain a radio ad would get no response from my phone.
It is mind-numbing the extent to which everyone playing a role in this housing crisis wants to wriggle out of their share of the blame more than they want to actually solve the problem.

I was one of the people constantly seeking a single source of blame for this until I read a book about systems thinking. Completely changed my life. The problem is I now see how the competing interests of all the players make this an almost completely intractable problem.

A huge influx of highly-paid workers is partially to blame for the housing crisis. So are activists who prevent any new construction. So are politicians who make policies making new construction prohibitively expensive. Etc etc etc. Everyone plays a role, but nobody wants to give anything up, so the people who lose, as always, are the people who are already marginalized.

We need less writing like this and more writing that gives people a bird's-eye view of the entire problem.
Ugh, man. Ever hear of the principle of charity? I'm just offering my thoughts on why /I/ was thrown off by it with mild suggestions. The number of upvotes I got seems to indicate that others agree with me, so maybe, just maybe, there's something there.

It's a complicated problem that unfortunately has very little visibility. The only reason I post these thoughts is to hopefully help raise visibility on folk similar to me so that those who aren't similar can have a little extra understanding.

Another way to look at my posts is, "Let's be slightly more accommodating, less rigid and less nitpicky to the dissimilar." Because that's where a lot of hidden things lay..
It's not about rhyming, it's about the dominant sounds. The 'al-' is faint, and factors less in to triggering than the 'X-ah' -- so a show could be talking about 'his [Ex a]ccepted the apology' and it would trigger. Pretty much any 'X' sound followed by a shwa would trigger it.

/Xə/ == triggering.

A year or two ago, ~8% of SF's population worked "in tech".

It seems like median tech salaries are in the very low six-figure range. 120k/year gross will (assuming no car or loan expenses) pay for -at most- $3500/month rent with typical utilities, Internet, and food expenditures. Even then, that leaves you with $2,500/year to save for emergencies or retirement.

Where's the money coming from? It's likely not coming from the majority of tech workers.

What happens when it runs out? I... really don't know. Whatever happens, it will take quite some time for landlords to adjust their rates to match the new reality. In the interim, I would expect even more "grassroots" hate generated for tech workers.
