Thank you for your concern, I mean that genuinely. I have been seeing a therapist regularly for over a year now. We are both pretty confident, despite really wanting to, I have enough coping strategies that I am not likely go through with it, so that's good.

The money thing is a whole other ball of wax though. I have been saving pretty hard since at least last summer, and, as it stands I have around 500 bucks in my savings. Pretty much my whole paycheck is eaten by rent, food, and transit. Some times things like unexpected medical expenses come up, or my family needs money. I am actually in a position where I just can't afford to pay the state/city taxes this year on top of my federal taxes being fucked beyond belief. I know I could just call them to figure out what's up and get an extension, but even the thought of calling them is enough to inspire a panic reaction.

If I think too hard about the situation I start getting really depressed, anxious, and resentful of pretty much everything.

Not net profit, ?gross profit?

The US government doesn't have those billions lying around with no ideas about how to make money with it. It has to borrow it. Interest rates for US bonds aren't high at the moment, but they aren't zero, either.

And as others mentioned, these are the bad loans: those that people do not have and likely never will have the money to pay back or pay interest on.

Because of that, this is more a decision to do the government's accounting differently than a decision to spend money.
If they outfit one with a bigger screen and greater processing power so switching pages is fast and it's easier to flip (unless I'm under the wrong impression and the page-lag for the paperwhite is because of the screen not the CPU) then you could have a superior referece platform.

Well, by definition, very few people are best in the world. And we still want most of the rest to get a college education. Not to mention "the best in the world" schools tend to attract students from very wealthy families, who don't need tuition support as much.

Clearly. The point is nobody would do that.

I think that if someone was forced to have a pet pig for a while they'd probably stop eating pork or if they were forced to be a single mother living on minimum wage they'd probably fight on behalf of fast food workers.

My supposition is that people shouldn't voluntarily shroud themselves in ignorance for culinary delight but instead, should take full responsibility for all of their actions, at the dinner table and in all aspects of life.

Public transit is actually a very good example. The government is funding a service, which then has to compete with other providers. What the government does not do is pay for all transport, regardless of price.

An analogy in education would be, government funds a certain jumber of public, free or low-cost universities, but you can also pay more to go to a better, private school (without the government paying/guaranteeing for it).

Typical basic motions to dismiss usually fall into these main categories:

1. This isn't the right court (jurisdiction)

2. We're not the right parties (standing/jurisdiction)

3. It's too late (statute of limitations)

4. No law has been broken (failure to state claim)

5. Nobody was really harmed (failure to state claim)

Typically it's numbers 4 and 5 that would matter for a frivolous lawsuit. If you want to see what that kind of lawsuit and a successful motion to dismiss look like here's a good example:

> If the REAL tech / hardware industry doesn't have a collapse, there will be no stopping the growth.

You're correct, but look at Detroit and look at the old steel and coal towns. There is always a collapse, and the collapses are happening in faster iterations as technology advances at a faster pace.
Sometimes steps toward security are better than no steps toward security. If the underlying protocol is fundamentally untrustworthy, that's another problem as needs addressing.

Is there some statute I missed that declares that PMs should have ~3 mis-directions in everything they say, at all times? Or are they able to settle at two?

It would be much easier to declare where the misdirections are if you expect them, than to postulate the law that would make your syllogism work.
That would certainly make economic sense for the lenders. But in effect it would impose a penalty for certain "bad-performing" majors. The criteria by which loans are granted, rejected or are given a higher interest rate would also be intransparent and not subject to public discussion.

More importantly, it would demand the highest interest rates from the group of students that will presumably have the most trouble paying them. You say yourself that the interest rates would probably be higher than they are today. That sounds to me as if it would make crippling student debt more likely, not less.
This video also inspired an excellent podcast from 99 Percent Invisible about the challenges and dangers of automation. I would highly recommend listening.

sama: can you comment on the various personal and financial interests you have in this case? Would you name and shame for a YC company in which you had not invested as an individual? One not run by a personal friend? One not about to be acquired for huge money and become another home run for YC?

Or similarly, you note in this post that you spent a whole day dealing with this issue. Hanging around HN we frequently read about how YC partners' time is in high demand, many applications to YC are viewed for literally only seconds, office hours are in fact not hours, etc. Would any YC company get such a chunk of your time?

I certainly don't mean to be some jerk on the internet telling you how you may or may not spend your hours. That's a) not my place and b) a topic I'm not qualified to philosophize on.

Nonetheless, it's more than a bit disconcerting to read a blog post which starts out with "here are some of my various connections to an interests in this company" followed by "and I'm doing them special favors, apparently at risk to myself, including writing this blog post."

This blog post gave me quite a sense of "well, sama and YC have a solid moral compass and plenty of self confidence but don't always follow the rules." The "I'm making an exception of my usual don't-be-on-YC-company-boards policy to be chairman of two YC companies" post from a year ago [1] had a similar vibe. Both posts made me wary of YC.

[1] http://blog.samaltman.com/energy Maybe I should clarify that I'm rooting for Helion and UPower and hope they go far with Sam. But a policy of I won't be on YC boards unless it's for my favorite company in one of my favorite application areas sounds a lot like I've given up desserts and other refined sugars (except warm brownie sundaes with ice cream and chocolate sauce).

Requiring universities to underwrite part of student loans would increase their incentive to retain students, and to keep prices from rising too rapidly.
George, that guy you worked with two jobs ago, that you want to keep in touch with because he may send a job offer your way one of these days? He's too busy to go to the meetup.

Sarah, who you enjoyed working with before she took a job in the next state (and who you wouldn't mind working with again)? She's not at the meetup - too far.

That guy who's become the software manager for a company that you're interested in? His daughter has a ballet recital, so he's not coming to the meetup.

But LinkedIn is always there.

Don't get me wrong, I don't use LinkedIn. It doesn't work for me - or perhaps, it's too much work for too little benefit for me. But if you're trying to connect with someone in particular, meetups aren't a very robust alternative.
I believe the distinction here is there would still be security against a passive attacker, just not an active one (via MITM or man-on-the-side). Which is what makes it worthwhile IMO as MITM is noisier than passive collection.
Yes. I know what I need to do, I know what is right, yet I end up doing the wrong thing anyway. This happens more often than not. Thus, I don't trust my own sense of morality.

There's a few things that may be happening.

Amazon, themselves, will send 2 notifications about a week apart, for feedback on the order.

But yes, a lot of sellers have started emailing customers as well. On average, and other sellers agree, about 10% of customers leave order feedback. Order feedback is critical to gaining search visibility on Amazon, so sellers live and die by feedback... this is the main motive behind trying to solicit it where possible.

"Almost anything would have been better stimulus than 'Cash for Clunkers'."

"Cash for Clunkers a near-total failure."

"Obama's Cash for Clunkers harmed the industry it was meant to help."

You have to take the overall effect into it.

But that might not be the best of examples. I would have rather mentioned a more touchy subject (the ACA), but that has not gone well for me in the past here.
Not just you. The screen size being locked to 6 inches across the lineup is disappointing. I can understand why someone would want the small screen for portability, but an option for an 8-10 inch screen would be nice.
Of course it won't pass. With enough money, you can pay lawyers to either make things legal, convince a court that what you're doing is legal, or hide your illegal activities. I'm not sure whether TurboTax and the like are doing #1 or #2, but they're the ones making sure simple tax filing never passes, which would put them out of business.

It's not just that the first clarification was more useful. The first clarification was correct. The comment said the renders are beautiful, obviously meaning rendering in in the 3D rendering[1] sense. The clarification stated that they weren't rendered in that sense because the author used photoshop, which doesn't render in that sense.

Then the second clarification stated that rendering also meant drawing... and while it does, it also has a specific meaning within 3D representations which doesn't really fit here.

Nothing to call anyone a nazi over but the second clarification wasn't needed or useful.

Number of Driven Miles to Demonstrate Autonomous Car Safety
Here is how understand what I was told regarding these kind of problems.

- When acquisition happens, then acquirer will do due diligence. They will want that all people which were involved in the development without the contract to sign a waiver / transfer IP.

- If people involvement in the development were working for free and there were not contract, then, by default, they are eligible for part of equity.

In short if co-founder leaves and was not paid you must ask him to sign waiver / transfer of IP (not sure exactly what: ask your lawyer - then can craft that). I believe the key here is whether is that person was compensated or not.

Am I right here?
One way is to have vendors sign a contract guaranteeing that their products do not contain malware. If the product does turn out to contain malware, then Amazon has contractual and legal recourse to recover damages and refund customers their money.

Sure, this isn't perfect, and won't help much if the vendor is a shell company, but it does put vendors on notice.
Mind me asking which performance car you drive?

I seem to be alone in this, but... they don't even look like the same person to me. Do we have any confirmation that the pairs show the same person? About 10 million Russian men look like the guys in the second pair of photos.

Unfortunately, this is often not the case in my own experience. It certainly does for some people, but that course is by no means universal. And when the well-being of other thinking, feeling individuals is at stake, I'd rather not rely on this kind of approach.

Second this. This post from sama was very bad idea. It came across nothing more than vindictive and publicly shaming Jeremy because of sama's personal interest in seeing deal through.

If there was any incentive for Jeremy to quietly settling the issue, this post just took it away. Now he should go for jugular- half of Kyle stake and then turn around and sue sama for defamation and crimping his ability work in SV in the future.
Just curious would this be considered budget neutral or would it bring in more taxes? Or less?

A police state has always been able to do this. Of course it gets easier by automatic face recognition and the possibility of sharing databases over long distances etc.

The difference from before I guess, is that it's less in your face, and can thereby happen without people noticing as easily.

I would recommend the book "What is Mathematics" to you. It covers a wide range of math topics from first principles. The beginning of each chapter is light reading, but gets more rigorous as the chapter progresses. It talks about mathematical notation a good amount, which is surprisingly helpful because many math ideas are intuitive but hidden behind extremely inaccessible notation.

The Kindle version has bad formatting, but the Google Books version works well on all devices supported by Google Books.

I haven't tested it myself but according to CVdazzle it works. So the next question is how long before facial recognition technology overcomes efforts to confound it. Or how long until legislators get involved.

Yes the looks are ridiculous, but most fashion starts out that way. People often look for ways to stand out and being "retro" could enhance the cool factor.

What does someone care if a mugger's facial recognition software "flags" them? And who exactly is being flagged? And if a security surveillance system flags you what is the consequence? Who does that consequence apply to?
> I thought one of the key ideas of a MVP is that it's something you put in the hands of customers...

Internet-type startups, at their core, are about marketing more than they are about technology. Getting the technology right is absolutely no guarantee of success, but you can hack together some PHP and -- if you get the marketing right -- make a shitload of money.

Psychology is kinda hard to do rigorously, so you test marketing the only place you really can -- in the market.

Conversely, the question "does this material prevent infections?" can actually be studied, to a significant extent, in controlled lab experiments. You don't need the marketplace to answer that question.

And for many cases -- such as the OP's -- it's obvious that if the answer is "yes" then you have a valuable product. Period. End of story. Infection-resistant materials aren't a fucking social network. If they work, they are obviously and immediately useful. You'll need to get the business side right, but it's really less difficult than the science itself because hospitals are begging for products to buy that address this problem.

So the question is more "can we solve this totally obviously extant and well-defined and obviously significant problem" rather than "have we identified a problem whose solution will let us win some pocket change of a big number of consumers?"

Figuring out if the science works out IS the MVP test. If you have a product that works your customers will be lining up.
I've come to that realization when driving my Leaf.

You see, with an internal combustion engine, there are several ways that you can stall the engine, even if the computer is controlling it. As long as you can stop it from rotating, it will stall.

Now, take a Leaf. The engine can't physically stall. It is completely controlled by electronics – in contrast, even an ICE with an engine control unit will have some of it being driven mechanically (valves and driveshaft are all mechanical). This also causes cars to "creep" when you release the brakes, as the engine has to keep rotating. In the Leaf, the "creep" exists, but it is entirely simulated.

Similarly, the steering is also electric and controlled by algorithms (more assist in parking lot, less in the highway).

Braking is also software-controlled. The first ones had, as people called them, "grabby breaks" (it would use regenerative breaking with a light force, if you pressed more, the breaks would suddenly "grab" the wheel). This was fixed in a software update.

Turning on and off is also a button. Can't yank the keys either.

So yeah, presumably, a Leaf could turn on, engage "drive" and start driving around, all with on-board software. It lacks sensors to do anything interesting, but the basic driving controls are there.

Good thing it cannot be updated over the air.
