It is a similar concept but Apple Pay requires your bank to opt-in which increases the banks per transaction cost because it utilizes the Visa Token Service. This system wouldn't require the banks to opt-in you would just be adding your credit card number to your PaySQR account.
It's really not a question or theory that C brought the computer industry a huge amount of value, more than any other single language.

Look at all the C applications, the C ABI that every other language exports for FFI, all the operating systems, big and small.

While I enjoy programming in others more, C is the single greatest most versatile language. All the languages I like all can call C a common ancestor.

Are there better options today? Maybe. Is there a question that C deserves a huge amount of credit? Not at all.
Ya monetization can be tricky but to keep the platform user centric it would be nice to not charge users at all. Also not spamming users is very important.
I think there will be other monetization opportunities without compromising on basic principles. But definitely easier said than done.

Keep in mind that the point of these exercises is to make instructions, explanations and short narratives more approachable.

If describing something with a limited vocabulary is awkward and impossible, maybe your approach is too complex.

My 4 year old is starting to learn how to read, and you can see in his eyes the connections made when he tries to read a basic level book. The sentence structure is obvious and predictable, and he's pretty good at getting it.

With a more complex book (Ex: The Little Red Caboose), he recognizes words and "paraphrases" the story with the pictures.
A distinction without a difference. Both are things that investors would care about.

Sorry but if this is the first experience the team has with building or maintaining data stores then I would definitely not invest. There is so much to learn from experience.

Having said that, I imagine it's not, so it should be an easy question to answer one would hope.
If you spent a couple years building everything you could on top of Node and then realized you completely disagreed with some of its basic design then that would be a memorable experience.

Yes, there's a chance that Google may can this after 2-3 years like they have countless other products. However, I can see where Google may obtain great value from this service for the foreseeable future for two reasons:

1) The tagging feature of the images you save. They are prominently displaying an "Add Tags" button when you save an image. I see tons of free nourishment being generated for their deep learning systems to digest.

2) It's just another way they will be able to gain more capital from you, Mr/Ms Google user. Do you like saving pictures of that hot band all the kids are talking about? Here's an advertisement for tickets to their upcoming concert. Are you tagging photos of homes because a move may be in your future? Here's an advertisement for mortgages. Etc.
What programming language is it built in?
Yeah this is definitely something we see value in. We wanted to build a service that provides a higher level of aggregation in which the APIs being used would be exposed to more detailed information. Today many Developers cobble a bunch of solutions to do this today. Everything should be in one place and work as expected.
1) Better unit economics via user-generated content creation. I'm not paying per-market salaries like Patch (though I'm not reaping the benefits of labor of a dedicated professional, either).

2) A native ad product (sponsored photo/link) which local businesses understand, because they're already creating the content for existing social media.

3) A content model based on a form of media which people enjoy both consuming and creating, rather than zoning board recaps and the crime blotter. I'm not denigrating either of those - I enjoy both - but like a lot journalism they are costly to produce relative to their travel.
> I get the impression that that some kids did really challenging programs or went to prestigious schools and that paid off really well, but a lot of kids bought into the "college = success" mantra.

Challenging programs have relatively little to do with it. It's almost 100% about the prestigious schools and the networks that come along with them: the old "it's not what you know; it's who you know," deal.

> All that said, I wish someone would have shown me the value of a really high-end education and helped me attain one.

Education is always valuable. It's schooling that's not always worthwhile.
They can have higher capacities than buses.
This makes no sense. Are you telling me high school teachers and counselors are telling students to go to colleges without factoring in costs/financial aid packages/ROI?
>The ensuing unqualified speculation at times borders on the ridiculous: "We are all taking too many photos and spending very little time looking at them." Maybe Sedaris and the New Yorker IT dept have developed a secret algo to qualify factual statements like this one?

If you treat social observations like physics, and expect statistical confirmation you're missing the plot.

Some of those cannot be statistically confirmed, but are nevertheless apparent to anyone with some life experience.

Others don't need to be confirmed, because they depend on subjective evaluations. You either come to see the writer's point and share their ethical values or not.

This very modern idea that any talk about society needs to be measured and analyzed with numbers and statistical proofs, is hampering our thinking. And it's even dangerous, people it gets people from thinking and evaluating arguments on their own, to blindly trusting some numbers which could be BS, manipulated, statistically non-representative etc.

But even more so, it kills their own appreciation and understanding of the world they live in, having them wait for 'the research' to come out for them to affirm anything.
Cultures vary from country to country, but the elites, they're all one and the same.

This. Although I am a believer in and a onetime recipient of federal student aid, there's no denying that there exists an educational-financial-industrial complex which needs to churn through new student borrowers as the substrate for keeping uncle sam's cash flowing. Very similar to the Medicare and 401k industries in a way, given their ostensible social goals, the massive government supplied sums involved, and the need to attach these sums to individual names and lives.
> mass transit will be instantly forgotten.

yep, the economies of scale of "mass" transit will then be available to "individual" transit, and that will be very attractive to people.
Well, obviously. The key point is to review what you have, get rid of what you don't need and negotiate better pricing for what you do need. If you aren't doing this at least annually anyway, you are leaving money on the table. The platform doesn't matter.
It's slower and bulkier because the underlying android OS is still running.

Some things I want that android/chroot doesn't offer:

A good terminal interface

A real browser, not a mobile browser

A phone that is actually free (as in speech)

And these are just off the top of my head in the past 5 minutes. If I actually sat and thought about it, I'm sure I could come up with many more.

No, investment in compilers for a language brought that. There were numerous languages at various points in our history that could've received that compiler work. C's design-level issues actually make it harder to write optimizing compilers for it that don't break the correctness. So, my claim is that it's the hardware, software, and groups using it that brought C's success (and compiler investments) along rather than the language itself.
Nice. Was looking for something like this.
Apply HN – Madgigs "Staffing Accelerator"
Madgigs is developing a platform for staffing-prenuers to help them realise their dreams of owning their own business.

Was it the openness of the bigotry that shocked you, or the bigotry itself?

In my experience, there isn't a huge difference in the level of racial bigotry between northern and southern states. The difference lies primarily in the openness of it.

For example, the effects of deed-restricted home sales are still being felt today in many neighborhoods in northern states.

In some ways, the openness of the southern brand of racism is more respectable than the northern brand. While the southern real estate agent was open with you, the northern real estate agent may simply assume you don't want to live in a neighborhood that's "too black," never say so to your face, and proceed to only show you houses in the "nice" part of town.

Yes, it's a contrived example, but it's also something that happens every day all over the country.

How far would the YCF get you?

From you comments, it sounds like your immediate areas to look into are:

- Options for getting FDA approval

- Licensing vs self-Manufacturing

- Determine whether catheters are the right launch product

- Getting your ducks in a row so that you can do some sort of deal that gives you enough money to execute on the above (that is, start an FDA trial, build up a manufacturing capability, etc as needed)

Does $20k and 8 weeks get you to that point? Or are you planning to use the YCF time to tackle a different set of problems?

Or, to phrase it differently: Why is YFC the right next step for you?

Note: I like what you guys are doing, and I really like that answers you've provided so far. I'm mostly just asking questions to help you flesh out/present your ideas clearly.

Yes, but there are lots of Southerners who are just as progressive as anyone. The distribution is skewed relative to the rest of the country, but that sort of thinking is far from universal.

It's only reasonable to recognize and acknowledge that the South as a whole acts somewhat differently. But it's wrong to talk about all Southerners as if they're the same, or treat all Southerners badly because of it.

It's just like with race. There are real, factual differences between racial groups, and acknowledging this is not a bad thing. What's bad is judging or biasing your interaction with people from those racial groups because of it.
But that won't stop the rest of us
This might be more complexity than you are ready for, but here's what I suggest:

* Remove the notion of two different modes.
* Remove the ability to switch between two modes. Because with this capability, people will inevitably switch it to the greedy mode, even if they have no need to, out of an inane fear that they might need to.
* Implement your hybrid mode, again without a "switching" mechanism:
* In your implementation of "rarest first", artificially apply extra weight to the next N segments that will be needed for the current play point.

I think this will result in very good behavior, in all cases. It is completely hands-off. Users tight on bandwidth will inevitably spend all of their bandwidth downloading the extra weighted segments needed to place soon. Users with any spare bandwidth will easily get past the next and segments, and then the rarest segments will automatically be the next fetched. All without any switches for users to set wrong.
When I have heard YC partners talk about judging companies, they put a heavy emphasis on the founding team. (Their background, how long they have known each other, and why they are the right person to build this product.) So I think it is a perfectly valid question.

Thanks for the link. It's sad to see something like this go.
I strongly suspect there is a happy medium to be found. Maybe more than 1000 most popular words...and maybe just augment a limited dictionary with an addendum for technical terms not in the short dictionary, but that are extremely common for the subject. E.g. in my case, maybe "domain" isn't in the dictionary, but I obviously need it to talk about DNS. I would reasonably expect even foreign language speaking administrators to know this word.

So, it's a joke, but maybe a useful thought exercise, too.
As far as I can tell, all forms of optical (laser, IPL, etc) hair removal techniques all kill the hair follicles by causing them to heat up and do not actually cut the hair. There might be a magic wavelength (or combo of them) that would cut without killing the follicle, but then you will be burning hair at that point and would need very good ventilation.

There was a Kickstarter a while back that tried to make a laser shaver, but they never could demonstrate it working (they had a few very suspect videos) and it was pulled. I would be very worried about getting scammed when looking into light based hair trimming.

Basically, any form of light (laser, xenon flashlamp) with a wavelength bigger than UV pretty much only damages things by heating. UV can do chemical damage in addition to heat by causing things to fall apart, though the potential for damage to the eyes is extreme as eyes due not tolerate UV.

However, if something does exist and works, I would love to be proved wrong in this regard as one can then do some amazing things with the tech.
