My issue wasn't with the idea of Feathers being an alternative to Meteor... it was with the original title which made it sound as if Meteor wasn't open source. It wasn't even a defense of Meteor, just a clarification of the title.
Sorry to tell you this but the term now has a different meaning within the web development community.

If that bothers you then regain your composure by remembering that 'computer' once referred the operators of calculating machines - not the machines themselves:

Hillary was involved in Serbia, Iraq, Libya and now Syria. She is more likely to escalate war with Russia, China, Iran or any other possible target.

Thanks for calling out the Whitman Archive! I worked to digitize the manuscript & early first editions of Leaves of Grass while an undergraduate at UVA, and both had a great time and learned a ton about Whitman and old books.

To make a modern comparison, scholars believe Whitman authored Leaves of Grass in a very similar way to how Kanye West is treating The Life of Pablo. He released a rough draft to a limited audience over a short period of time, but continued editing, revising and adding to it for years afterward, as his perspective and understanding of the world around him evolved.

Whitman was an amazing writer. I wouldn't hesitate to call him America's Joyce.

It's a good question.

Gun culture is a big aspect of it; I wouldn't want my hypothetical children raised in a place where people keep handguns around 'for protection'. Conservatism; Bernie Sanders would be a centrist up here, not a liberal. The strange mania of patriotism and flag-love. The military culture with half the tax dollars spent there and politicians fighting to increase it. The absolute hatred of taxes.

It's not that all Americans are like this (or that no Canadians are) but so many are that the laws, rules and norms reflect it. The culture is much further in those directions than I want to be.

I loved living in Seattle, which is more liberal than Canada in many ways, but it's still very American.

In a nutshell: Canada was one of the first countries to legalize same-sex marriage. America was one of the last in the Western world. No one is surprised by either of these two facts.
We eventually tracked this down to some of the stabilisation algorithms – they work fine within the intended time frames, but there's an inefficiency in them that gets worse the longer the wormhole is open and eventually they can't keep up with the shifts.

An allusion to the accumulated rounding bug that caused the Patriot missile incident in 1991? That system was likewise intended to operate for only short periods.

From https://autarkaw.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/round-off-errors-a...

In the Patriot missile, time was saved in a fixed point register that had a length of 24 bits. Since the internal clock of the system is measured every one-tenth of a second, 1/10 expressed in a 24 bit fixed point register is 0.0001100110011001100110011 (the exact value is 209715/2097152).

On the day of the mishap, the battery on the Patriot missile was left on for 100 consecutive hours, hence causing an inaccuracy of 9.5E-8x10x60x60x100=0.34 seconds.

The shift calculated in the range gate due to the error of 0.342 seconds was calculated as 687m. The shift of larger than 137m resulted in the Scud not being targeted and hence killing 28 Americans in the barracks of Saudi Arabia.
That's not the point at all. The point is that if you decide tomorrow to run thousands of AIs like AlphaGo to replace humans to do several stuff, does that scale well? Well, if it consumes as much power as AlphaGo, it certainly does not. The point about having something running on low watts is critical for scalability in the longer term, because no matter how you look at it, energy production is finite (you can increase it over time but there are clear limits anyway).
Because humans tend to identify with those traits that are still superior to computers.
Scaling Enterprise Software Companies Is Harder Than Ever
Unstoppable WeChat grows to 697m monthly active users
That's the point - humans don't scale, and 1 person vs energetic equivalent computer is arbitrary (and human-prefering) level of comparison.
Or if they played 5 second Go, that would reduce the time the computer can do Monte Carlo tree search, which is the brute force aspect of AlphaGo.

> If you are not doing personal projects or work on the side you will never be top 5-10% of devs

That's a bit too strong a generalization, I believe. To become and remain a top 5-10% developer you need to do varied and challenging projects, but I see no need for them to be personal projects or side work. It is quite possible for one's regular job to provide the variety and challenge necessary to develop and maintain top developer skills. It can be hard to find such jobs, but they are out there.
True, I suppose.

Machine learning is compatible with low energy applications. There is a body of research in slimming down heavy neural nets to run on cell phones with very little accuracy loss. AlphaGo uses so much power because it additionally uses a brute force approach to improve its results.
"while the match has been widely billed as "man vs. machine," AlphaGo is really a human achievement."

I think this is very true, and we often forget this in our rush to praise "the machines". We built them! They aren't a being, they are tools we built.

>> Since these components are doing different things, there is little chance that there would be a performance benefit

> Complementary workloads should not be a problem. It would actually make thrifty usage of the hardware.

The argument continued "there is little chance that there would be a performance benefit from being in the same JVM". Splitting the two components out into separate containers doesn't preclude running them on the same hardware. But it does give you the option of running them on separate hardware, which may allow for even more efficient overall hardware usage.
This just means that the slowdown that everyone is anticipating this year has not yet set in across-the-board or across all Institutional Investor segments. Thesefolks at Slack will probably represent the last major round before everyone starts thinking "what have I done?".

At this point I think a lot of the larger rounds are not even being publicized because they'd be so ridiculed.

I understand raising money if you get amazing terms. But the hubris of a chat company with this kind of overvaluation boggles my mind
Professional solution for the search and rescue operations
The rescue of lost man is the doing of the innovative applications and quadcopters. The developers of the first of its kind assistants - drones KeyHelp are sure in this. About extreme conditions, it device was born and how many people could be rescued with its help, read in our material.
Few people know how to help their comrades in extreme conditions and to find them in snow or dense forests. Until recently, there was no available devices and applications to help in searching people. The three guys came up with how to resolve this problem. So the drone KeyHelp was created. The idea of creating such project has occurred in Petro Holovatyk after his incident in Polish mountains, where he was lost during the tour.

After his returning to home, he has decided to create a project for coordinating of search and rescue operations in large sectors (for eg in the zone of 30-40 kilometers),also to making people search much more efficient both on land and on the water.

The main privilege of the product is to exclude black spots – missed areas on the territory.

Products - the drone and the license application - designed for rescue services.

Drone KeyHelp is an invaluable helper in rescue operations. It high-resolution camera takes photos of the lost man and landscape; the photos of suspicious items are transferred for the rescue group's curator.
The special temperature sensors inside the drone’s construction allow locate person even at the situations low visibility caused.
Drone can be used at the all weather conditions and can be adapted can be adapted for different types of landscape.

On the website platform https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keyhelp-the-smart-help-drone#/
Mass production of Keyhelp will allow the heads of rescue operations to coordinate groups and to make decision on the correct placement for more efficient operation results.

I'm aware that we have a multitude of (often confused and nonsensical) laws, which in some cases force businesses to ignore data and make bad decisions.

My question; what argument can you make in favor of enacting such laws if they didn't exist? And if you make such an argument, does it also imply that small females should ignore the fact that Delhi is the rape capital of India? Or that pizza shops should put their drivers in danger of robbery?

No, you won't see anything in Google Street View but isn't this article about normal maps?
Unfortunately, the article doesn't really provide any relevant information regarding the alleged technology. During the race to the moon the general public greatly over-estimated Soviet technology. I'm wondering if this is the case now?

Certainly, over-estimation is better than under-estimation in this situation, especially if it encourages the US to invest more in its space program.

EDIT: grammar

The rumour is that it was masterminded by a well-known career criminal who was subsequently murdered in his garden by a hit man - possibly because the point of the raid was to find some incriminating evidence that was being kept in the vault, and the gold and shiny stuff was a useful bonus.

P.S. - Poll is gonna be added in the next phase!
As stated elsewhere in this thread, your co-founders seem decidedly immune to the sort of data that would typically demonstrate "all-in". So here's my advice: stop guessing what those yoyos want. Get them into a meeting and ask them flat-out: "what would satisfy you on this point?" If they can't come up with anything or give you a bullshit answer, QUIT ON THE SPOT.

A month later, if you've provided whatever they said would satisfy them and they're STILL whining - see previous action.

You shouldn't put up with "I'm mad and I'm not going to tell you why" in business relationships any more than you should in personal relationships.

Also, keep in mind that you may walk out of that initial meeting without a job. The sort of nasty assclowns that your co-founders sound like don't typically appreciate being directly challenged.
The fact that you aren't aware of the issues, and you have a picture of you with a VR headset on your homepage and are building a VR framework is a pretty impressive example of systematic personal bias and willful ignorance.

There's literally decades of research into VR that you pretend like doesn't exist: from medical and psychological to input and feedback systems that you're blissfully unaware of. Listing it would be like listing the contents of a library. You seem to want to cast yourself as some kind of VR expert or aficionado, but aren't even aware of the long history of your own field! At this point you're just a poser.

However, people who aren't ignorant internet blowhards are aware of this body of work, have been around VR for much longer than your synapses have been capable of firing on the topic, and end up having a much more measured response to the technology. We all know more about what you are doing than you do. We all know who Heilig, Furness, Sutherland, Engelbart, Lanier and Waldern, their works and the limitations of their vision. We're not the idiots in this exchange.

We were learning to fly planes, drive tanks, overcome phobias, shoot guns, find medicines, map the stars, explore cyberspace and meatspace in VR while you were still learning to drink juice from an adult cup.

You seem to take some kind of personal umbrage with people who have a long view of the topic not finding the precious toy you've hitched your wagon to to be the revolutionary second coming. Grow up and maybe learn something first so you can do something better than the mistakes of all the giants who's footsteps you are treading in.

VR is here, it's been here, it's great, but it's not everything, there is no revolution here only evolution. That screen strapped to your head? That's just this year's model of car, not the invention of the horseless wagon. We've all been driving for a long time, congratulations on getting your license.

However, Google seems to be trailing in third in the cloud, at least for enterprise users. And it seems to be falling well behind AWS and Azure.

You're right about hierarchy in the world, but there's a deeper truth that you're missing that relates to hierarchical structures being more amenable to description:

The fact then that many complex systems have a nearly decomposable,
hierarchic structure is a major facilitating factor enabling us to
understand, describe, and even "see" such systems and their parts.
Or perhaps the proposition should be put the other way around. If
there are important systems in the world that are complex without
being hierarchic, they may to a considerable extent escape our
observation and understanding. Analysis of their behavior would
involve such detailed knowledge and calculation of the interactions
of their elementary parts that it would beyond our capacities of
memory or computation.

- Herbert A. Simon, "The Sciences of the Artificial", 2nd edition, page 218

Also, hierarchy in the physical world is not just due to one object being able to only be in one location at a time (or only one object being in a one location). It also arises due to the improved evolvability of hierarchic systems. Again, see Herb Simon's "The Sciences of the Artificial" for a delightful treatment of hierarchic systems and our cognitive relationship with them.

They did find other ways to get what they wanted. It was on a more ad hoc basis. And there they were focused

There's a video of former NSA/CIA director Michael Hayden talking about the clipper chip, and how everyone was saying "we're going dark" around that time. They found other ways to get what they wanted, and that's why both he and former CIA director James Woolsey do not support the DOJ's position in the ongoing case against Apple. I can't find the video where he talks about the clipper chip right now.

Only as inane and uninteresting as the comment you just posted.

You can't impute motives why someone might ask that question. You may feel it has been repeated ad nauseum but it's quite possible those asking the question haven't read the previous HN comments.

At this point, you come over as an arrogant jerk.
"Encryption is math. Math cannot be illegal."

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the author made no interest points, but statements like this are a perfect example of that STEM worker arrogance stemming from the logical fallacy that just because you control systems which masses of people don't understand but rely on heavily (and make good money doing it in a secure comfortable job), that you have adequate knowledge to make sweeping statements in other areas outside of engineering knowledge.

It isn't the math, but the activity of _applying_ that math in actual communications which is subject to legal statutes and regulation, which I don't pretend to be an expert on, but know enough of my own ignorance about the theory and practice of the law (and having a number of attorneys in the family to check my own tendency toward that aforementioned arrogance) to understand that it isn't a simple freedom of expression or open knowledge issue.
I once sat next to a businessman whose only conversation was making joke after joke during an entire dinner. They were not his own, just regular old jokes. He'd built a business worth 300 million euro over thirty years and he literally told me jokes for two and a half hours. By the end I struggled to even smile let alone laugh. He didn't appear to notice.

Perhaps this explains it.
I'm sure your colleague thinks his jokes are "always funny," too.
Hmm, is this really nice? I doesn't look like something I'd just recommend to colleagues, with the religious symbols, names like Darknet and Yolo, Nightmare and black magic. Are they trying to stay away from the corporate market?
>The brain uses 20-40W and a cell phone only 5W, and we know cell phones can do image recognition, so, probably the computer uses less than the human given that human reaction time is 200ms and the computer could classify much more than 5 images per second, so it uses less time and consequently less energy per image.

I'm all for praising the enormous developments being made in modern computing, but this is absolutely needless exaggeration. Computers are far, far, far weaker at image recognition than even an 8 year old child. The amount of things humans can continually process, using a fraction of the brain (the brain is constantly doing visual processing without shutting the other centers down), whereas a computer can barely do simple tasks and takes longer to do that than "200ms", as you claim.

The brain is a mind boggling machine. Our computers are getting pretty kickass, but there is still a long long way to go.
I agree, open up site offices near universities, major labs, single tech company towns, etc. There's a huge number of talented people looking for work in those areas and it saves on everything from real estate expense to relocation expenses.

But then of course, big companies will do it wrong. I'm reminded of companies moving to places like the D.C. area, where all their clients are in Virginia or Maryland, but go ahead and set up shop in D.C., where nobody from their client locations likes to go. Even better they'll pick one of the few spots in the city without metro access and make it even harder on themselves to do business.

Companies almost need relocation experts for setting up these kinds of remote sites.
