Does it matter though ?

Ok, it is hard to get excited about writing java code but kotlin is a very nice language that outputs bytecode, so there is always that option.

Not to mention that the NDK is an option if it fits your usecase.
Sounds like what the author wants is a bond or dividend stock, not a startup fund.
It's already softening a bit in certain areas (palo alto has surplus inventory at this point), etc.
We found Stripe to be the easiest and most affordable to implement. $.30 + 2.9% processing fee per transaction, though.

Micropayments are tough (if that's what you're going for).
At least it's convenient...
The law doesn’t apply globally: it allows a French citizen to ask Google to have their info removed. Period. It doesn’t allow US people to do the same. That this info is hidden in all countries Google operates in is a side-effect. As I wrote in another comment when Gawker is sued for publishing some private info about an American you’re not expecting Gawker to censor itself in the US only.
Although in this case only words were slung, I think this scenario illustrates a potentially huge problem: horrible people combined with an AI system that can't tell right and wrong (morality) could result in terrible catastrophes.

What if a distributed self-driving car system learned from users, and some people taught it to cut people off, drive aggressively, or even indirectly cause accidents?

I'm not sure how to create a moral system for AI, but this seems like a big obstacle to scaling up virtual agents.
Nothing does that though.

Old electric cars were built from donor cars, rip the ICE from a Volkswagen or something and then put in batteries and electric motor.

This is worse though, you're not building a car, you're building a cell factory. It's much more like bootstrapping a compiler. Now, it's possible to hand code the assembly to make your low quality compiler, that's just good enough to compile a subset of your language that'll let you bootstrap the full language. That's rough though. It's much quicker to just use C or something to implement the first version of the compiler, then implement the target language compiler in the target language.

I agree, it would be cool to be able to snap together molecules to build structures. The best way to do that today is to use cells to make the molecules and snap them together. We just don't have little Mems devices (or whatever) to do that. Especially not in bulk.

Someday, we'll have a device that's not a cell that can do what you want - it just doesn't exist yet. Cells are almost a magic cheat code, giving us access to building stuff we can't build any other way.
True. The puzzles were and still are fun, just wish there were more of them. Almost makes me want to program a clone, allow people to mod it, just to play some more of the same-style puzzles...
You're talking about the purely technical aspects of package management that keep your build from breaking. My point is that there's a lot more to it than that. Lockfiles do not keep software from requiring maintenance. Introducing a dependency means handing off a chunk of your software project to someone else to maintain. If they do it wrong, you're on the hook for it.

For example, I was a maintainer for an admin UI component of the last version of Drupal core, and we decided to pull in a query string handling library written by Ben Alman. It was a good decision, and it hasn't caused any problems. But it still meant we were trusting him to maintain part of our codebase. It was also an implicit commitment to every user of Drupal that if Ben quit maintaining that library, we would step in and fix any problems that came up. You don't get rid of that commitment with a lockfile.

Hey HN - Privacy.com co-founder here. I'm really excited to share what we've been working on for the past year and a half or so.

We've been neck-deep in payments stuff on the card issuing side (getting a BIN sponsor, ACH origination, etc), so happy to answer any questions on that front as well.

My experience has been that it always ends up in Google Docs. Collaboration in Docs is just so stupidly easy compared to emailing spreadsheets around. And yeah I've been through several cycles of this:

start tracking in google docs, we'll get a system eventually.
-> OK we have bought a new PM system, let's start using it.
-> Everyone please start using the new system. Move your google docs there today.
-> I ... why is this still in Google Docs?
-> Ok we've paid a bunch more money to get all of the requested features in our new system. Please please please start using it
-> Sigh. Just share me on the Google Doc.

> recent research finds that people living in low-density suburbs are happier than people living in cities. People living in rural areas are happiest of all.

Anecdata, but that one year I lived in suburbia was terrible from just about every perspective I care about. Couldn't even walk to the corner store to grab milk because there was no such thing as a corner store. Wanna go party in the evening? City is an hour train ride away. Terrible. Wanna grab drinks somewhere close? Choice of 3 bars. Ugh. Wanna party past 10pm? Can't. Everything closed. (this was in the US)

As for rural ... I have a lot of family who comes from rural lands. They all fled into the cities as soon as they were old enough to do so. The infrastructure to support modern life just isn't there in ruralandia. Even my grandparents moved from super rural to slightly less rural with the wave of post-ww2 modernization in the 50's. (this was in Europe)

I'm probably the odd one out here, though. I will never understand the American fetishization of suburbia. Even now I keep arguing with my girlfriend (grew up in US) cause she wants to move from SoMa to the more outskirt parts of SF like Portrero.

Never is a strong word. Maybe if I ever have kids the same sort of salmon-like instinct that Americans have will kick in and I too will want to move back to my spawning grounds.

edit: Actually, this might be cultural. As a European, I think that the closer you live to downtown, the higher your social status. This is a bias that is hard for me to escape even though in the US the social signal is inverted.
Good point. Still, the city budget is in some sense tied to the market. The unemployment rate almost halved since 2010. Per capita income almost doubled since 2000. Apple revenues alone tripled in the last five years. You'd expect the local municipalities to cash in on the taxes.
Morse Code has always been timed and spaced. There have to be consistent pauses between dits, dahs, chars and words or it all runs together and makes no sense.

didahdah is the letter W and didah dah are the letters AT. Having the wrong timing or no pauses between dits and dahs totally changes the code.

And, it's never been very efficient for sending large messages. 40 WPM is the fastest humans can copy. Most normal people top out at about 20 WPM. To put that in perspective, we speak at about 300 WPM. Basically, that's why Morse Code has so many abbreviations called Q codes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_code

"The duration of a dash is three times the duration of a dot. Each dot or dash is followed by a short silence, equal to the dot duration. The letters of a word are separated by a space equal to three dots (one dash), and the words are separated by a space equal to seven dots. The dot duration is the basic unit of time measurement in code transmission."

http://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-M.1677-1-200910-I/

It is extremely efficient and effective when you only have a few watts, a switch and would like to communicate around the world. Nothing really compares.
Well, good is a subjective term, but this demo of its debugger [1] certainly peaked my interest :) I even has live examples with hot-swapable code (that is opensource if you'd like touse it.)

But it is not a library. So if you would want a list of pros/cons you'd need to compare it to other compile-to-js languages.

Its purpose seems to be creating reactive web-based UI. Basic building block is converting event-stream of user input into an event-stream of html, simplest example probably were [2]

Ok, it might be web-gl as well :) And it is type-checked if that is your jam, but has decent type inference if you don't like writing types explicitly.

Abstinence! Yeah that works really well.
The stop subscriptions aspect really stood out to me, I had to spend 40 minutes on the phone with that darn company to get things canceled, even though I only used it for one day for an hour.
> Sorry, I can't resist indulging in a moment of pedantry here.

I've always got the impression that this is, rather than an abuse, instead an intentional re-purposing of the slogan to convey exactly the meaning that it appears to have (instead of the one that it historically should). I'm a die-hard prescriptivist on most matters; but, since the sentiment that the grandparent expressed is common and the one the the literal historical slogan expresses doesn't seem to be, it's hard to see why we should cling to the latter and avoid the former.
That's the direction I'm leaning as well, if not anomalous this means that there is going to be a lot more death in this demographic coming in the near years.

This could readily change the face of politics in the country as the old guard disappears in nearly one uniform event (decade level).
This is so incredibly far over my head.
That was a page variation that should have no longer been live. Should be off now. Thanks for pointing that out.
Micro deps are the sign of something missing from the core language. We should be working to have that expanded and not have it shouldered to a package manager system and community to fill IMO.
I'm also curious to find which societies celebrated intellectualism as a part of general culture. The best I can see it is if the rich elite collect intellectuals as part of a status play.
Very sad. Here's some gold:

(Marco from Citus Data)

> If I use CitusDB as an analytical database, then it's comparable with Redshift, Hive etc.

A particular difference is in response times and concurrency. Data warehouses and Hive are great for reporting use-cases, but not for use-cases that require fast responses and have many users like analytical dashboards. This is a use-case for which Citus is particularly well-suited (see for example the CloudFlare dashboard).

> Can I use cstore_fdw in CitusDB and able to take advantage of real-time nature of Postgresql?

Yes, since cstore_fdw and Citus are both developed by Citus Data we made sure they're fully integrated. We've even seen some deployments that use a mixture of columnar- and row-based storage in a single distributed table.

We find that row-based storage generally has better ingestion performance and more indexing possibilities. Citus can do very fast execution of analytical queries by parallelizing over row-based shards and using the indexes on each of them. However, if you only need a small number of columns and have analytical queries that are not very selective, you can use columnar storage just as easily and even mix and match (might require some support).

> I guess another use case is using CitusDB as distributed data store

Yep, Citus can definitely be used for that by using hash-partitioned tables.
No not that one.

The miniseries were actually really good. Tempted to say excellent - I read the books first then saw the mini-series.

Thats not what I was talking about though...those miniseries are like 2000 or 2003ish. There was a recent attempt (2012?) to launch into this again...failed...and never made it past concept (see my earlier reference to pink tiger strip spacecraft) - thats the one I was talking about. Wasn't a complete failure though...they documented the process & I gather the docu was decent. Haven't watched that docu.
We don't need the trolling.
Yep that's right, you'll need an account with Privacy.com, and you can use any name or billing address when you spend using a Privacy Visa Card.

Touche, thanks for bringing that up. Updating the language.
You vastly underestimate both how different these old systems are, how many resources it takes to support every additional platform, that the burden increases non-linearly, and what kind of weird release-blocking bugs those extra platforms may introduce, delaying fixes and hogging resources.

At minimum, slow systems require gracefully degrading GUI, which increases complexity by an order of magnitude. The graphics card capabilities are a much better first approximation than the word width.

If it took just a few extra engineers, or a few thousand, to fix the bugs that they have, Apple would have done it. The Mythical Man-Month, and all that.
I don't think the problem here can be solved purely through programming. It's an issue of teaching the bot right and wrong (maybe even call it morality) and I don't think that's easy at all.

Even humans wouldn't be able to agree on a training set of moral and immoral data. And yet this distinction would have a huge impact on how the bot influences the livelihoods with who it chats with.
Vidpresso (YC W14) Is Looking for Sales and Marketing People – NYC, Remote
We're about to launch our next product in April at a big event, and as part of that we're looking for smart, interesting, enterprising sales and marketing people of all levels to join the team. Most imminently, we're looking for someone to help build our our sales team, process, metrics, and someone else to help with our marketing efforts.

You'd ideally be someone who is excited building processes out that don't currently exist. We'd prefer someone with passion for sales or marketing, and maybe you've felt constrained by the organization you've previously worked in and always wanted to try something with fewer constraints.

The team will be in New York starting in June, and going forward we expect New York to be our primary sales area. That being said, we expect to continue to be a remote company, and have built up a lot of processes so working remotely isn't as painful.

For the sales person / people, we'd like them to be commutable to NYC for now. Commutable is defined as: At grand central or penn station in an hour.

For marketing, we're much more flexible. We're into finding people who would otherwise work in Silicon Valley except they prefer to live wherever they've chosen.

Our team so far are experts who've chosen to live where we prefer. They include an ex-Deloitte person, an Emmy™ award winning broadcast designer, someone who built real-time video compositing software, and an ex-tech journalist who founded CNET's longest running podcast.

What we're building: Production tools to help brands and publishers create really high-quality live streaming video, for distribution on (nda'd platform). We like to say we're trying to make it so people can create TV without the station.

Want to get in touch?

jobs@vidpresso.com

Tell us why you're interested and what you like to work on. Given we work remotely, written communication effectiveness is crucial. Write a quick couple sentences of what excites you about this opportunity, and what you'd like to build or learn with us.

Resumes are optional.

We're more interested in what you'd like to do / what you can do, vs what you've done.
Never did I ever adjust enough to stop bitching about shoveling driveways or scraping windshields or hitting patches of black ice or having the plow throw snow back onto your driveway so you have to shovel it again. Snow always has been, and always will be, more inconvenient than rain.

Except freezing rain. That stuff is the worst.
Any way this works without a browser extension? I'm assuming such an extension has full access to every single page in order to do its job, which is a huge security risk. You don't need to be reading my emails or passwords.
I couldn't sign up using Firefox on Windows. I'd enter a username, email and password then the form would just go blank on submission.

Very few people in the US pay that.
I understand why you need it, and I want this service in a big way, but I'm just baulking at giving you my online banking username and password. Why should I trust you with that?
There are a lot of things that are made public that aren’t news stories. Should revenge porn be part of “the public historical record”? Can I publish all your private info on a random website and then claim it’s “part of the public historical record”?
Presumably, get a lawyer and sue them for defamation, likely at great personal expense. Up against the corporate lawyers of media empires (or search engines), your chances are pretty slim.
Yes, unfortunately for the time being :(.
I actually started playing Warframe a couple months ago and have been pleasantly surprised by the game's level of quality while still having a relatively player-friendly business model. I've only spent around $30 and that's been more than enough (along with a very mild grind) to get me through a large chunk of the game's content without feeling pressured to spend more. In most mobile style games, you may as well toss your $30 into the wind for all the good it will do you. That probably won't be enough to get you the one card/hero/item/whatever that you actually want, let alone allow you to be competitive within the game.
Also why buy the "SUPER FLAMING SHOTGUN 9000" for $9.99 if there aren't mobs of non paying players to blow up? It's sort of like google, the non paying players are the product here.
I should note that it worked fine on Chrome.
It's a tradeoff. Personally, I have no problem with well-behaved pets in a store or restaurant. I know people who do (even though they don't have allergies). I think it's fair to say that some subset of the US population believes that pets shouldn't be allowed in restaurants (at least inside) and that is what laws generally reflect. The US has one set of standards; France has another.

US airlines do allow certain pets to travel in cabins with their humans. Nor do airlines etc. routinely ban all foods to which someone may be allergic.

So's HP-UX and Solaris (probably not any of the Open Source variants, however).

None of the Open Source BSDs qualify as UNIX, however.

The miniseries in between those two was actually pretty damn good imo. Capture the essence well. Wish they had kept going.
Along the same lines, no one is obligated to like you or associate with you, doubly so if you have political beliefs that would likely result in their being unable to earn a living in their field.

> Community sanctions are part of what it means to be human.

But not the only part, or even the most important part. (And as long as we're getting philosophical, just because they're part of what it means to be human doesn't mean they're always admirable. Prejudice against outsiders is also part of what it means to be human, after all.)
I don't think that the gentrification is completely referring to the police, but also to the couple that called the cops.

I actually know the couple, they are very nice people and I am sure they feel terrible about what happened. But they are from upper-middle and upper class families, I am sadly not too surprised that they felt threatened by a latino man in a park.
I've found WorkFlowy [1] to be helpful. It's just a touch more sophisticated than a text editor (you can collapse different levels, for instance, and there's an app so you can take notes on your phone, too). But it's not so sophisticated that you get lost in the features. It gets out of the way so you can make your lists. I've been using it for years now.

This sounds awesome. I really hope you will be successful!!

What do you do when you get subpoenaed? Do you link all the accounts to the real identity? Lavabit-style exit?
It does :), you can create directly from your dashboard without an extension. The current onboarding flow pushes you towards creating a card first, but we'll patch that.
Not anymore. They're pretty awesome as far as functionality goes, and content used to be great, but sadly their reputation for content is in a steep decline, probably though no fault of their own. So these days, especially when money is on the line, I'd avoid associating reputation with a medium.com domain.
Many virtual cards before you have ran into issues of being flagged as prepaid or single use cards and having their BINs blacklisted by merchants. How will you be combatting this?
