One thing that concerns me personally is the work space startups provide for the employees.

In question 4 ('...Is HubSpot really like an overcrowded 19th century sweatshop?') the author shows some pictures that attempt to prove how awesome the work area is. But all the pictures seem to be of people meeting in lounge-sort of areas. Only the last picture shows actual work spaces in the back-right, sort of half-height cubicles.

I want to see what a typical work station looks like, but from the point of view of the worker, showing the distance to the adjacent work stations. That's what matters, not whether my co-workers can pose for a smile.
Safari Technology Preview Release 2
Shouldn't this have also come up in the preliminary research before this deal became public? I personally remember getting asked to sign some legal documents after I had been working full time. I had originally started out as a contractor, but then went to full-time. And my contracting agreement was slightly different than the agreement I signed when I accepted the full-time offer. So I think some lawyer noticed the discrepancy and decided it needed to be taken care of. I don't remember any differences being important to me personally, but from that I would assume that Jeremy's relationship and contracts with Cruise would come up prior to the public announcement as part of conducting due diligence.

(Site's gone now but it was a demo on top of Clarifai)

Honest question, is this much better than Clarifai?
this is awesome. Eg, "There is a sad, persistent decrease in multicolored underwear, ending with none by senior year." Does "none" refer to NA (None, null, etc.) or to the lack of color in the respondents' underwear, or to going commando? i suppose like all great research, it raises more questions than it answers.

more seriously, The OP seems to be inspired by a well-established tradition at the institute--MIT's sand mandala, perhaps. I graduated in 1992 and i remember some of my classmates from time to time, engaging in self-assigned projects that (i) seemed to lack any discernible purpose or utility whatever--certainly none for the student and (ii) that required a mind-boggling amount of meticulous effort. Somehow seeing these two attributes juxtaposed in a single endeavor, was hilarious to us (likewise the OP). Sometimes, though not always, these projects were deemed "pranks" but separate in my view.
Ok. Now I am going to call it. Back in the late 90s, people used to joke that you shouldn't keep cell phones at your wasteline or your "futures" will be affected. And then they would joke further that in 20 years you will have some weird people walking this earth.

Well, it is 20 years later now, and we should see the affects of this supposed cell phone radiation. If I had to guess, I would say the version of the future we were predicting is the one we live in today ... where lots of people now have autism.

The article says "magnetic" waves through the brain can "fix" autism. If magnets and electro waves are the fix, then maybe cell phone and radio waves were the cause that disturbed the brain to be this way.
You're thinking it the wrong way around. The default is that a person always owns the result of his work. Employees sign an agreement to give that result to their employer in exhange for a wage. If there is no agreement, the person who did the work will keep owning the results.
Was in the same boat myself. Tried lots of different styluses, and was hoping that a new DX size kindle would come out. Recently I have been really happy with an iPad Pro and pencil since it's basically the size of a pad of paper! A Sony Ereader with wink was just released but it was basically the same price as the iPad Pro. :/

ECN isn't a solution so much as it is an optional side-effect of routers deploying AQM—the real solution. Widespread deployment of AQM depends on having an algorithm that is both highly effective and requires no tuning or configuration. ECN deployment further requires being confident that broken routers won't cause problems and making a decision of where to put the threshold for marking relative to the threshold for dropping. You want there to be an incentive for endpoints to negotiate ECN, but you don't want there to be too much incentive for endpoints to declare ECN capability and then not respond to marking.
I suspect Oculus Rift is gunning the high end much like the Apple strategy, so quality and exclusivity is going to be important value proposition. From the company point of view, this is the logical decision, since the Gear VR or Google Cardboard strategy probably won't give them much revenue.

Philosophy in the World: The Lesson of Socrates
I remember an article in the 1980s about a wearable computer on a man's belt with batteries, and he had some wires to his brain to help him see shapes, but I can no longer find the reference or pics. It's amazing to see the progress if you compare the pics of the large device back then to the things they are doing now. That and the discoveries and inventions in computing, chip manufacture, cognitive science and biology that are coming together in so many ways. When I watched the film 'Transcendence' this past year, along with having been a fan of Kronenberg and his movie 'eXistenZ', I really started to think about the overlap and hybridization of technologies: implants, wearable tech, AI, CI, CRISPR, biopunk, VR, AR, etc... I can see a dystopic 'Bladerunner' style future of cyborgs, modified humans and crazy disease and organisms. On the other hand, I can see humanity coasting his way into accepting the weirdness, and the crazy future it will bring.

In the meantime, I hope many who cannot, will get to partake in walking, seeing and living longer due to these discoveries and inventions.

Amazing. I read some more, and Moldbug's posted approvingly about American Renaissance! It's too perfect.
have you read yourself the link you submitted?

"This new approval, classified as CLIA certificate of waiver, allows testing outside of the lab for those determined to be so simple there is little room for error."

If i remember this is the "lab developed tests" loophole that Threanos was trying to sneak through, and which was shut close for them on the basis that spreading their devices around, like interstate commerce, is a clear violation of the loophole and they do need actual FDA approval... the rest of the story we have been observing for the last several months.

I really prefer integrated graphics if they're passable, because graphics card problems are a large part of the discussions in support problems. An even older Mac Pro I had, at age three, began taking a hairdryer on the graphics card to get it to reliably boot.

However, while that older MacBook Pro is just new enough to handle virtual machines pretty well, and the CPU is fine for everything I wouldn't already decide to send to a cluster somewhere, the graphics are a reason to get rid of it. I'd like to get an enormous UHD monitor to put on the wall across the room, plus models get dropped from future OS X versions almost entirely based on graphics capabilities now.

I think this post misses some of the benefits of the new architecture that will eventually be realized.
The Future of Web Startups
Valid points, they aren't stiffling anyone, you can use others but since everyone is on whatsapp and facebook you have to use them.
Let's use your analogy.

When you went to the owner for payment, he gave you $300 for washing the car. The owner gave you, not your friend. You. The owner only wants to pay you for your efforts, and at not point wanted to pay your friend.

Instead of asking the owner for payment, your friend now demands part of your $300, because you are less intimidating to bully around.

Your friend also demands a portion of all the money from all other cars you have washed after that time you washed a car together. Because if it wasn't for that first car wash together, he claims you would not have been able to figure out the sales process for washing cars for money. So he is entitled to dividends for eternity.

This is weird because I was reading a thread on Ubuntu forums about 4.3 problems and I've just stayed on 4.2 with 15.10 with no power management issues. Power consumption is criminal though getting 1.8 hours average at full charge and low brightness.
No contest.

I've met my share of wishful thinkers still pushing for set asides and subsidies. And we also have our share of cheaters. The irony is when those well intentioned set asides get perverted for profit.

But I like to think we're seeing a sea change on the topic. Better data. Broad coalitions. Commitment to finding win/win solutions.

Let's check back together in two years. See if my optimism was rewarded.
I do the same thing. It usually takes me about an hour or before I hit a bug or, more rarely, a crash. Then it's back to Photoshop. I've repeated this cycle about once a quarter for a couple years now.

An interesting piece of trivia, while potatoes are in cuisine across the world now, they are native to the Americas (which is briefly mentioned in the article). It's ability to feed many (being caloricly dense), as well as being fairly rugged allowed it to create Europe's population boom and urbanization when it was introduced there. Let's hope the same can be done to Mars!
> There is nothing stopping other stores from selling games for the HTC Vive.

How can developers do that, if there is no actual open implementation of OpenVR? Do they need to implement that runtime every time from scratch? Valve's repo only providers headers for the API, but actual runtime is distributed with Steam only.

Or you are saying that OpenVR isn't needed for using Vive, and some alternative SDK / framework exists that everyone can use?

> Is your graphics card "tied" to your graphics driver or its OpenGL implementation?

If the only OpenGL implementation that exists is tied to some distributor, it means that hardware is tied to it as well (at least until some other implementation will show up). Do you expect developers implementing APIs like OpenGL or Vulkan from scratch every time they make games? Same thing here. It's wrong to expect developers to implement OpenVR if they don't want to be tied to some store.
Your Finances Might Be Missing This Key Ingredient
I think the interesting thing about this quiz is that it implies that if you grew up or are in a "working class" family in America, that means you're not in a bubble, it's only middle class or higher that might be in a bubble. Seems odd that by this quiz definition someone who has lived their whole life in that environment wouldn't also be considered living in a bubble, just a different one than they're focused on discussing here.

I don't think Google is working on it. Intel and AMD have some comments on the relevant issue[1].

As far as I can see there seems to be a lot of noise ("How do I run Caffe on OpenCL") and not huge amounts of progress.

The truth is that you are better off waiting for external NVidia GPUs[2] to become widely available[3] than waiting for a decent OpenCL implementation.

I'd say neuro tech for gaming/research/medical imagining is easy and high. Most of the market in the consumer space is trying to sell "calm" and shit (while people are spending a couple of hundreds on consoles + games vs vc funded hype machines repackaging headphones), researchers are building their own systems and using it for papers that at a cost of <$5k vs the $100k system I used last in a lab, but whose projects have caveats like "we didnt care about price so we paid $600-$800 for an fpga + peripherals when we could have spent $80, we paid $900 for 3 axis accelerometer and microprocessor when could have spent $50 but meh, our grant monies pay for this!", and the state of the art techniques for getting under 1mm in spacial and sub millisecond precision have been used in radar systems for about 80 years (and even lower spacial precision when you combine recent techniques like fast ica, with methods like jacobi-davidson, and shit tonnes of awesome libs like armadillo, superlu, openblas to parallelize the problem for real time implementation over many (~200) cheap microprocessors that can fit within 70mm x 10 mm x 70mm)… thats not to say theres not work to be done, but its deff not limited by the technology and costs…

How the brain produces consciousness in 'time slices'
Latest Macbook here, opening files up to 10MB is fine but saving after making any change, even a minor one will cause Atom to hang for a few minutes. In contrast, Sublime has no issues. To be fair to Atom, it has no issues with actual code files in any language; it only struggles with log files and csv dumps. This limitation means I use Atom for most things and Sublime for the heavy files.

I was almost excited! From the FAQ on the project you linked [0]:

> Q: Why doesn't this project mention distribution?

> A: Distribution, for example using HTTP as both Docker v2.2 and AppC do today, is currently out of scope on the OCI Scope Table. There has been some discussion on the TOB mailing list to make distribution an optional layer but this topic is a work in progress.

I really hope CoreOS manage to get distribution into the scope for OCI. We need to move beyond Docker images. Standardizing on-disk layout in OCI is only mildly useful in my opinion.

> According to Kyle, Jeremy did not write any code or build any hardware during this exploratory period.

He'd better be 100% right about this. I imagine it wouldn't look good for Kyle if it comes out that Jeremy wrote some code, no matter how insignificant. Because if 'no code written' = no equity, 'some code written' could turn out to be a gateway to having some equity.
One person has managed to successfully build a non-accelerated version of TensorFlow for the RaspberryPi. It can use a network, but training will be painfully, PAINFULLY slow (as in months or years of wall-clock time).

Maybe at some point it will be viable, but not with the hardware and software as it is at the moment.
Here in Brazil, all NATs are either defective or ``symmetric'' whatever this means I am not an expert sorry. I do not expect STUN to work. As for TURN, this means traffic will go through the server. Then how is it better than Skype? Microsoft can afford, if I understand it correctly, a huge network of TURN servers, essentially. Is this how Skype works?

I think the more general point he makes is about design, its hard to have the design nailed down from the beginning for most projects, why not hack something up quickly and in the process discover lots stuff that you probably wouldn't had thought of in the beginning. But if you know a language that lets you iterate very fast and you are highly productive in it, that it also has great library support so don't you don't have to reinvent the wheel all the time and lets you refactor just as easily then sure ;)

Thanks for sharing this. I've been a kdb+/q user for ~5 years. Yesterday, after coming across this, I went through the J Primer. It has some really powerful ideas in it (I didn't know Arthur was behind J as well!), and kdb+/q now feels like a distilled version of J.

I've already started prototyping a small simulator using J. Thank you so much.
Have you opened an issue about it? They may not realize anyone would even want that feature.

I might have misread your intention then, but there shouldn't be a tradeoff between the two at all. If I understand your point correctly, then your agreements would prioritize founders after an exit by eliminating the likelihood of an equity dispute later on but not at the expense of the person who exited at the time of their exit. If that makes sense. In general, shareholders' agreements are all about fair dealing and codifying the nature of your relationships and potential business interactions with one another. They'll cover all sorts of different scenarios that go well beyond buy-sell provisions. Here's a very thorough sample from the ABA [0] for a closely-held corporation. Your attorney would work with you to tailor an agreement to your needs, obviously.

In the end, you're just buying out their equity in the company at the time of the sale. Nobody really comes out "ahead." But because nobody really knows how they could arrive at that situation, it's important to ensure that your likely contingencies are covered and that the actual process is clearly defined. For instance, you want to make damned certain that someone can't come back for a second bite at the apple after the fact. Even if their claim is specious, it will still derail a deal.

Hear, hear. And with the introduction of Adobe XD, Sketch has a rapidly closing window to eliminate the worst bugs.

In the last release, I was plagued by one where undo didn't work. Not only did it not work, it randomly shifted layers around the artboard or introduced other glitches into my work. I can't think of many actions that are more automatic than hitting undo — when that essential safety net becomes destructive, it's devastating.

Hopefully 3.7 introduces much-needed stability. At the moment, Adobe XD is still new enough that it won't cause a mass exodus. No layers, for example. But a year from now, either Sketch will have worked incredibly hard to retain the users who stayed because there was no alternative, or XD will have matured and eaten their lunch.
I've gotten the exact same thing. Also hoping it clears up
"... If they grow successfully, the potatoes will then be planted in a simulator that factors in the atmospheric conditions on Mars. ..."

Will it also simulate the cosmic rays Mars has to endure and can these rays be duplicated?
The point is that the very rich are making huge multiples of the rest of us. $200k in SF is probably double what a unionized teacher makes in the same area.
> senior professionals

Do they mean medical professionals? If you actually look at the highest-paid (and $100k+, for that matter) staff lists, there are really a tremendous amount of doctors. That should not be surprising at all, since UCSF, UCLA and UC Davis operate huge hospitals.

It's wildly inappropriate to lump the "senior professionals" in with management. The hospital system, with the exception of the training it provides for the medical schools, is effectively orthogonal to the educational mission of most of the UC system.
That would be cool to be able to turn it on temporarily. After hearing about this guy's experience, I definitely wouldn't want it turned on permanently.
I love these kind of articles. But I think it's a bit weird that most devs choose to horizontally scale at the data persistence layer, instead of the application layer. And that they choose a SQL database to basically store just text blobs.

As this is a mail app, and users doesn't need to read each others private messages. I would put say 100 users per (virtual) server and also store the data there. And have a simple traffic router.
There's an option:

./install --no-update-rc
This is actually pretty well thought out here. I feel like the most important one is the one that I consider to be the most difficult: Optimizing for the most probable.

To me, it's always a struggle between probability, predictability, and shortest possible paths between states. Probability being that at any given point, the path to what the user is most likely trying to do is as short as possible. Predictability means that from any given state, there is a consistent and predictable way that the user can know how to get to any other state. And finally, that from any state, the ability to switch to any other state in the application is as short as possible (which obviously conflicts with probability).

In my mind, almost every UX should be the equivalent of tabbed, nested folders. This takes care of predictability and short paths between all application states. The area this falls behind is in probability, in that there is no effort made to guess what the user wants. Given that your average user in a large application is unlikely to care about anything outside of the given task they're trying to accomplish, I feel like it's arguably more important than the things I traditionally prioritize for, and therefore something that I have to work on the most.
