I started my consulting business at the same time my kids were born. Fortunately, most of the work was done in my home office, and so I was with them as much as their mother during their first two years.

The world is a bit stacked against those who aren't at home for their kids childhood. For example, in the first year, a kid will grow a tiny bit during each nap that they take. If you are at home, you get to see this. If you are at work away from home, you miss two or three tiny growth increments each day.

So it is both parent's obligation, but can be difficult to carry off if one works away from home.
If there is another input that SHAs to the same commit hash, it's not going to be as small, and it's not going to look like a standard patch.

I'm not sure "terabytes" is justified either, but the point's a good one.
Because there is a sadistic tendency in our industry to celebrate overworking yourself to the bone for no real benefit to either yourself or the project you may be working on. I think more people are realizing this and are celebrating a more measured and effective approach to work.
You're basing your case that JL was the mastermind behind YC on a "was perhaps"?

A single offline key and three sub-keys would be easier to manage than three distinct private keys.
Yet another reason not to start your company in SF.
Is that $75k for a preimage attack? You would need to generate a collision that could be reasonably interpreted as a valid commit. It's my understanding that preimage attacks against SHA-1 are still considered to be impossible, even for a state actor.
The problem is that you're all part of the same State, so your votes are all equally counted (more or less; for Governor, they are). So I have to paint you all with the same brush: that's just the way the system is set up. Sorry. I do realize (as should anyone) that not everyone in any given State is the same, and that every state has different regions where people think differently. This rural vs. urban fight isn't confined to NC, it's happening in most states now. (Maybe not Wyoming or Montana...)

But you had to realize before moving to NC that that state was like that. Like every Southern state which votes "red" in the Presidential elections, there's a large number of conservatives there, and the conservatives in the South tend to be even more religious than the average conservative. So I don't think it's quite fair to move to urban NC and then complain about the rural voters giving you shitty laws: there was never any indication that this state, overall, voted more progressively. If you want a state that really is more progressive overall, you have to go someplace like New York or Massachusetts or Connecticut or Washington (state). But of course, the cost of living isn't as low in places like that as it is in the South; that's the price you pay.

Audi have been talking about 800V, 300kW charging - or 250km of range in 10 minutes. That's less than the time it takes for a bathroom break and a coffee. The difference between filling an ICE vehicle and fast-charging an EV becomes pretty negligible at that point.

(The CCS plug standard has been future-proofed to support these kinds of speeds)

All of this is only a concern, of course, for long-distance road trips. Which for most drivers are relatively rare events.
I hope that by "mobile-connected smart whiteboard for every team member" you mean "laptop or tablet with touchscreen, and a stylus".

You shouldn't need most of the rest of that, either. Make sure everyone has a 2nd monitor, and you'll need to buy a $30 webcam if they don't already have laptops. I wouldn't worry about the headset, either - cell phone headsets or earpods generally work fine and most everyone has a decent one nowadays. Wait for the folks who want something nicer to ask for one.

Cheap internet is fine. I worked from home with rock bottom residential service, the cheapest they would give me, and my connectivity was fantastic, better than anything I've ever had from an office. The secret is that nobody's on the Internet from home during the day, so you've got infrastructure that was meant to handle the whole world watching Netflix at 8pm more-or-less to yourself.

This is assuming a distributed team. mind. They have a tendency to self-assemble. Partial co-location is where things get messy and you start needing to worry about smart whiteboards and fancy videoconferencing equipment and all that crap. All that's really for is to make it an eensy bit more likely that the co-located folks will be willing to collaborate with the remote folks rather than forming a clique and forgetting that the rest of the team exists.
No, the Pascal GPU itself is not stacked. Die stacking makes almost no sense for processors.
Up-voted, Are average SF rents that high? Boston is probably less than half that cost, with salaries comparable to the west coast and similar cultural events and excellent public and private schools. Weather is not that great though. Genuinely asking - So what makes SF so worth it, that it justifies its high cost of living? in comparison to other top class states, is it just the weather?
If you feel GPS does not take care of this to your satisfaction, then I hope you also don't get any new taxi cab drivers or ones that recently moved to the area, because they will also suffer from that problem, unless there's some special training most cabbies take to eliminate the need for GPS. I use turn-by-turn - or at least look at a map - even in places I know the best way to, because traffic, construction, or other unexpected developments may dictate going a different way, and looking at a map can help avoid unexpected surprises.

And if you're inebriated, there's much more value in getting someone else to drive you home than simply not having to tell them the best possible route. But sure, it's not great if you're paying someone and also needing to tell them how to do their job. But it sure beats the alternative of driving drunk or sleeping outside the bar.
> it's the quantity of it that makes the difference.

But as many people have pointed out, quantity can have, well, quantitative reasons. I remember a blog post stating that being the only woman among 100 men at conferences, the author always got at least one stupid comment/question.

She even turned it into a formula:

#(women at a conference) = inversely proportional to #(times I talk about women in tech) [1]

Of course, that formula has simple quantitative reasons. Let's say that constant 1% of the 100 men there want to talk about women in tech. If there is 1 woman, you're it. If there are 2 women, 50% chance, 3 women 33% chance etc.

Same with rude people. Let's say there's an even 1% of women and men who are rude to the opposite gender and they are equally prolific. If there are 10% women at the conference/company/..., a woman has a roughly 100x greater chance of encountering that type of behaviour. Even though the level of rudeness is exactly the same.

Approximately: 1100 people, 1000 males, 100 females. 1% rude makes 10 rude males per 100 females, roughly 10% chance; 1 rude female / 1000 males, 0.1% chance, 100x difference.

Considering that "badness" of rude behaviour is likely going to be on a bell curve, you not only get more bad behaviour, you also get worse behaviour. Just from he numbers.

So you can have outcomes that look subjectively sexist (women encounter much worse and/or much more bad behaviour) without there actually being any sexism.

Not sure what is really the meaning. I work hard as I am sure we all do. I am reading this thread while chasing around my 4 kiddos. We all need a beak and we are lucky and grateful to be given those opportunities. I follow hacker news daily so I am just happy that someone who made this all happen to get a chance to relax and reflect. It's deserved.
It's a bit odd to assert that parenthood should change to facilitate startups. Suddenly it seems like we are in Shulamith Firestone territory, except that it's men, not women, who are objecting to the amount of work involved in raising children.
>you can't trust a thing that comes out of their mouths. I was systematically filled with all sorts of non truths about drugs as a kid in the DARE program.

while we didn't have drugs, i remember that 2 big scares adults were filling us with were proved by experience through like 4-6th grade to be fundamentally untrue, ie. even after 40 years in the ground the WWII munitions without detonators don't accidentally explode just by virtue of disturbing/moving them (it is actually some effort to make them explode), and your palms don't become hairy.

And then the french and the british went and ruined the Faisal–Weizmann Agreement which could've mitigated some of the conflict.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faisal%E2%80%93Weizmann_Agreem...

That said that Israeli-Arab conflict is just a drop in the sea of middle eastern conflicts, if you could remove Israel today with a press of switch it's not like the entire region would magically re-align itself and become peaceful.

Iraq and Iran didn't go into a war because of Israel, Saddam didn't invade Kuwait because of Israel, Lebanon didn't had a bloody civil war because of Israel, Iraq and Turkey haven't bombed the Kurds into submission for 60 years because of Israel, Iran and the Gulf states are not currently at a brink of war because of Israel, and ISIS for sure isn't there because of Israel.

Like it or not Israel is more of a stabilizing force in the Middle east these days than a disruptive one, Jordan and Egypt are functional more or less due to their tenuous but peaceful relations and continuous cooperation with Israel, the Gulf States have been trading with Israel for decades now and their relations are becoming more and more public with Israel going as far as opening an "unofficial diplomatic office" in the UAE
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/28/world/middleeast/israel-to...

The overall sentiment of the many middle class and higher educated Arabs is that their leaders should be more "like" Israel rather than continue to blame Israel for everything under the sun.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not pretty but lets put it into perspective over the past ~70 years the total casualties amount to less than 30,000 at about 3 to 1 ratio, even if we go as far as over 150 years and include the pogroms and the Arab revolts of the 19th century we still arrive at about 100-110,000 casualties with about the same ratio of 3 to 1.
If put this into perspective the Syrian civil war has had more casualties than the entire Jewish/Israeli-Arab conflict since the middle of the 19th century, and the casualties of Aleppo alone amount to more deaths than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since Israel's inception.
Please keep your beliefs in your world, where your decisions apparently don't have consequences for others.

In Europe we also have 230V power as standard, so the standard 32A EV wall chargers provide 7kW - more than enough to charge any EV overnight. Even a standard UK wall socket can provide about 3kW.

In Germany they have 3-phase wiring right into homes, so even faster home charging is possible there.

I count TWO Superchargers in all of South Carolina, and SEVEN Superchargers in all of North Carolina. That's... pretty awful selection.

Seriously? I'm not buying a vehicle to pretend to be an elitist and superior over my fellow citizens and neighbors.

The fact of the matter is, being forced to stop at extremely limited locations to act high-and-mighty over the "poor gas users" (who are really the typical American's who can't afford a $30k+ vehicle so get off your damn high horse) is the biggest brand of elitism I've seen this week.

There's nothing wrong with stopping at gas stations. They're common, they are convenient, they're cheap and they're close to where the action is.

If you're happy to sit on a high-horse and pretend that TWO locations in some states is sufficient for a good long-driving experience (or even if Tesla DOUBLES the amount to FOUR locations by 2020)... suit yourself. But this sounds like an utterly awful road-trip experience in my opinion.
The story and the journal. I actually just got back from an overnight getaway with my wife last night where we stayed in a small privately owned motel. I couldn't help but find myself wondering who could have been watching. This sort of thing would be much easier to pull off with todays technology and I'm sure that it does happen more.

How violated would I feel if I found out that a creep motel owner was watching? How would I feel about that compared to the government surveillance that is happening.

I can confidently say that I am far more worried about big brother than the motel clerk. Although neither are welcome.

I suspect there are many gems in his journals that mirror societal norms and deviations of the time. The inter-racial sex trends. The 70 orgys. I never knew you could sit on a toilet sideways or backwards. Why would you do this? Maybe I'll convert, who knows!

The fact that he explained it all away in his mind is especially curious. It is easy to judge but are we as a society of major consumers of pornography and reality tv really that far away from this guy? There are some obvious legal distinctions in his actions but the compulsion seems alive and well in most people.

The whole story just brought up so many questions and curiosities.

> It would be nice if we could get Windows internally to use paths like / for the C drive and then use /mnt/d for the D drives

Windows does internally - even in a network-transparent way:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Path_(computing)&...
Just like an iOS app, a browser WebRTC app won't leak internal network information without a user's permission, and if you really want to, you can force WebRTC traffic to go through your VPN as well and not leak anything.

There's really no need to be an Apple apologist about this — their job listings show that a fixed WebKit is on the way.
5 mistakes to avoid When you charging your phone
But the internet as we know it grew out of the BBN networking code that was added to BSD 4. Prior to that, the patchwork connection between machines was via UUCP, mostly.
The point being (which we both understand, but not everyone here does) is that in logical terminology, a "valid" argument is one whose conclusions must be true were its premises all true. That is a valid argument, even though its first premise is obviously false, because were its premises true, then its conclusion must be true. A valid argument whose premises are all true is a "sound" argument. But, while philosophers and logicians respect this "sound"/"valid" distinction, in popular usage the word "valid" is used to mean "sound".
They were touting 20 Tflops, but that's only for FP16, which isn't useful for many engineering computations that use GPU. I already can hit 2 Tflop F32 with two K20. It's a nice improvement over what I have now, but nothing astronomical.
I think for many people who have had that level of success, the idea of "just retiring" is not very appealing. They have gotten to where they are because they have a strong drive to accomplish things that doesn't go away. If they just stopped everything and took a vacation, sooner or later they'll probably find themselves bored and want to dive back into a significant project again.
You can already do deep learning on cheap consumer hardware. And $100k is expensive, but it's nowhere near LHC levels.
Businesses pay employees with the goal of ROI. Parents typically expect a 0x return on their money (at least in the near term, by which I mean decades). Therefore businesses' employees need to do work that contributes to revenue (listicles) whereas children can do whatever their parents allow them to (in this case, local news).

You make a good point about the time competition, but I was responding re: "better" not "faster".
Taxpayers of the World, Unite
Please point me to the representative "african american culture" government apparatus and you'll have a point.
The f1116 (tax credit) only works well if foreign taxes are greater than US taxes. I revoked my f2555 (income exclusion) to make my taxes easier (I hit that point where it was just too much work). Everything was great until I got married abroad to a foreign national, then I had to file "Married filing separately" because my wife didn't have a SSN. This absolutely caused my tax filing to collapse, and now I have a bill from the IRS saying I owe a lot of money (really I don't, I screwed up on the math, but...damn).

It turns out I can get my wife a tax filing number so we can file jointly, and now I have to go back and revise a couple of years of taxes, and will ultimately wind up owing nothing (hopefully!). The IRS helpline really does help (I was incredibly distraught when I found out...getting a huge bill from the IRS for a tax filing 3 years ago is horrible), if you are an expat abroad, use it! But it is still a PITA!

I feel sorry for those in Switzerland, Hong Kong, or Singapore, where the exclusion only goes so far and you wind up paying tax beyond your credit, suffering high VAT and cost of living that those locales entail. You really need a professional accountant at that point to figure out how you can get relief (e.g. by using the Housing Exclusion). The big problem is that each country "works differently", and what is considered income tax in one country isn't the whole story (they might tax differently, like with a high VAT and usage fees, and what about taxes on health insurance and various social security fees you'll never be able to use?), you can still very well be exposed to double taxation.

I wrote a similar system for an ecommerce site-

attached session data, "remora data", tracked IP's, (in fact trace routed all IP's looking for suspicious proxy flags like going through Ghana), browser meta data- etc etc. I'm proud of how robust it ended up being. Constantly recursively crunching shipping addresses, CC numbers, IPs, all that jazz and accounts- so if someone tried several different cards their account would be flag, which would flag their IP which would then trickle down the system.

Of course never letting an attempted scammer know the system was on to them- in fact encourage them to keep using more cards and try different combinations so the flagging system would grow over time. Sure we got some false positives, but drastically cut down on repeat scammers. :)

In which case we just encouraged a phone call and solid proof of information for an account override.

It was war! Good article!
Yes.

Besides "he looked just out of high school" can be corroborative evidence, as it's something that can statistically explain their immature behavior/inexperience etc.

In other words, it's not like everybody who is "just out of high school" is immature/inexperienced etc, but if we want to predict or explain such behavior, it's a statistically very good tool.
What's the distinction between "resign" and "merely stepped aside for an unspecified amount of time and will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Progressive Party."
