I am sorry, but by memory I meant cache memory that is in fact inside the CPU. This is error on my side.

I read [0] and could not infer anything to confirm my understanding, but if we consider the semantics of GIL, then there should be some form of guarantee in place that two CPU cores see the coherent picture of the cache (other way two threads would see incoherent values of the same variable or would not see the changes at all). This is usually archived by some form of memory barriers and flushing the registers into memory and this by my experience (that comes from Java) makes the code order of magnitude or two slower.

Well now I feel bad for thinking my high school physics teacher was underqualified. :/
From the video linked, it sounds like they can (legally) switch bikes during the race, so they could just switch back to a legit bike close to the finish.
Racers are willing to put their health at risk with various performance enhancing drugs and procedures, putting a motor on their bike seems to pale in comparison.
Fun analogy. One of my favorite mechanics in Dwarf Fortress is stress. Dwarves have thoughts which are contingent upon outside influences (fatigue, other dwarves, etc.) [1]. Failure to keep your dwarves happy results in a loss of productivity. Left untreated, your dwarves can eventually go insane and destroy everything you've built [2].

Fortunately, I've never seen this manifest in a startup before my own eyes (at least in an extreme way), but I'm sure someone else has a story to share.

Thanks for the update! That's great it's profitable.
Most professional athletes are doing everything they can to get ahead, and cycling is no exception.

That said, there are pretty amazing stories about cyclists cheating - perhaps because the sport is so grueling that small advantages can really translate to substantial gains. One of my favorites for the Tour de France was cyclists being pulled by cars attached by fishing line to a piece of cork held in the mouth!
I don't think that's what's occurring here; no crime is alleged to have occurred, he admitted being party to whatever was going on, and OFAC has directed Venmo to withhold his assets, they haven't directly appropriated them.
StumpWM has a predecessor of sorts, written by the same author: Ratpoison http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/. It's also tiling, but not extensible, and written in C instead of Common Lisp.
You're right, I guess there is the small matter of how much more than a drop is needed. If it's 3 drops, that's much better then 3 vials they they sometimes have to draw for covering a range of tests - but it sounds like it might be much larger then a few drops.
My parents were both teachers and did the same thing. From my perspective, I think that asking a child (or student) why they think something, or "what do you think X should do?". This is the main reason I despise Australia's education system, it doesn't cater to students that actually want to learn.

Have you considered that this is not in fact the case.
I think you're missing the point. Bots now use ML and other forms of weak A.I. Facebook is building something closer to artificial general intelligence with Facebook M. The early forms of bots we'll see will do basic tasks but in the future they'll be as smart or smarter than us. This is a great long term play Durov took by incentivizing bot developers. Besides, Telegram doesn't have the same scale as Facebook (FB Messenger) and Microsoft (Skype) so they sorta need to do this to remain competitive in their hyper competitive market.

If I had any gripes about Telegram it's their lack of audio and video calling but I'm not going to complain about an excellent free product.

This is directly tied to EROEI. If the EROEI of a cell is greater than 1X, it will produce more energy that it took to manufacture it. In that case it's net-negative -- over time it replaces fossil fuels in a net sense.

Lately I've read EROEI numbers for solar PV from 10-15X.

So no, this is not true, and likely has not been true for a long time. It might have been true back when PV was kind of a lab curiosity and niche item.
I've ascended every class except Rogue and Healer (and neither are really more challenging than Tourist, I just never got to it) over the last ~10 years of idle playing of NetHack 3.4. NetHack is not quite a solvable game, but there are fewer patterns that matter, at high-level play, than one might think. Once you are able to see those patterns (many of which are just part of your standard ascension kit) as part of the game, the solutions generally become fairly obvious and you can just drill through it.

You definitely won't win every time, of course, but you'll be pretty okay.
Given that individuals can and often do outsource the execution of the tax code to software such as TurboTax, what practical limit did you have in mind?

Also, it is one thing to say that the tax code should not be secret or obfuscated. It's another thing to say that tax preparation should require use of private companies. It doesn't, quite, but you can't e-file directly with the IRS...

A touching and well written article. I've been hearing about Bill Campbell for over thirty years and I am sad that I never got the chance to know him.

They say the true measure of a man is the number of friends that he has when he dies. By that measure Bill Campbell is one of the richest men to ever live in Silicon Valley.

I think the study and practice of fundamental techniques is directly tied to training your creative side. But they're also independent skills, in a sense. I see far too many young artists who focus solely on technique, at the detriment of their creativity. Classical atelier programs can train an individual to create astonishingly life-like representations... but too often lacking entirely in any sort of creativity.

On the flip side, a lot of art schools have focused so much on creativity that they've lost their grounding in technique. So you get a lot of creatively profound but technically incompetent graduates.

Neither are great options. But training technique and creativity together seems like a good choice.

Only personal experience to share here, but I can comfortably say that as my technical skills increased, so too did my creativity. I was always worried as a kid that I wasn't "creative" enough to be a decent artist. But when I knew how to express ideas, for some reason I had an easier time coming up with those ideas in the first place.
Funny, just saw this in the paper yesterday. I wonder how it differs from Theranos. http://szdaily.sznews.com/html/2016-04/18/content_3505489.ht...
If the cash portions of salaries are being paid out of revenues (company is profitable), why does the stock price matter?
The problem with embark locations is that they mostly just increase the size of the initial difficulty cliff. The game still settles down to more or less the same amount of challenge once you've dug in. Maybe your migrant waves are smaller after wading through the river full of zombie hippos, but once the survivors get indoors they're as safe as anywhere else.
> There's great creative power in not knowing what you don't know and trying out random things because you have yet to acquire the knowledge of how things are 'supposed' to be done.

That's something people who don't want to learn how things are done like to say, but isn't really true and is most often simply an excuse to avoid having to learn anything; it's commonly heard from amateur musicians for example in an attempt to avoid learning anything labelled "theory". The reality is that what you're likely to do without looking at what other people have done isn't going to be very creative and is likely way way inside the box and simplistic.

You're not really breaking the rules if you don't know the rules you're breaking; flailing around wildly in the dark isn't creative, it's just dumb luck if you happen to do something new. People who are truly creative, know exactly where the box is and ends and why they're breaking outside of it.
My post never said it would be cheap. It would ensure 1) everyone was covered and 2) less funds were skimmed out by health insurance companies, leaving more funding to be used for health providers.

It would also help if a republican Congress didn't require Medicare to _not_ negotiate on drug pricing with for-profit drug companies. Way to leach off the public teat "small government party".

Obviously there is still a significant desire to finish higher even you don't finish first.
"...and also unlock the intuitive sense that comes from mastery."

To me, unlocking that aesthetic intuition is the essence of creativity. The other component -- which I recognize most people lack -- is an open-mindedness and willingness to experiment and find art in unexpected places. But even if you have that, you still need the mastery, at least in most disciplines.

If you create lots of sculpture, you'll encounter lots of "problems." And if you persevere, you'll discover lots of "solutions" -- whether they are intended results or happy accidents. Mastery in the arts is simply accumulating a sufficiently large library of problems/solutions, and encountering them often enough that they become mental muscle memory, so that you begin to see potential high-level solutions in the world around you. I believe the art we find most "creative" is, counterintuitively, the art that is discovered or stumbled upon by masters who have developed the skill to spot, excavate, and refine it. (Like Michelangelo seeing his sculpture "emerge" from the marble -- I don't think it was the mystical process it's often made out to be, but rather him recognizing the maximum potential of each quirk of the marble, and intuitively seeing how those potentials might combine into an image.) Contrast that with an artist's attempt to make something "from the ground up," based solely on the application of learned principles. The result may be beautiful or masterful, but probably won't have that true creative spark.

Great art often makes people think "I never would of thought to do that," which to me is kind of tragic, because they may get discouraged from pursuing art, without realizing that the artist never "thought to do that," either. The artist just had the open-mindedness to look around, the developed intuition to spot it, and the technical skill to build it out.
Well from my personal experience at startups quite a few of them do give bonuses. Its a way for them to have control over whether you get part of your compensation. Often based on performance (for the reputable ones) but sometimes just based on whether they feel like paying it!
Thank you! I was looking for that game a few days ago, but couldn't remember the name at all! And it looks like there's a reboot of it on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/335940/
As well as the "Radio Shack 150-in-1" springy terminal kits, I also had a Germany kit with white squares that connected together magnetically on a metal base, where each block had the component's symbol printed on the top.

The biggest bit I remember though was the instruction book, which explained each component in terms of diagrams of "electrons" with legs and a set of various structures/obstacles - diodes were just one-way gates, transistors were gates with a rope going from the base which pulled open the collector/emitter shutter...

Thanks to Google, I now know you can still get them:

Thanks Dad...)
I sympathize with the desire to avoid racism, sexism, and the other forms of abuse the writers mentioned, but people with nasty opinions should be discouraged with voting systems, not with complete silence.

By all means, go ahead and remove comment sections from your site. But I imagine there are people beside me who will move on to other sites when they see discussion being shut down.
In the US, I think the current grass roots movement towards Direct Primary Care plus catastrophic coverage or a health savings account is more politically and logistically viable.

Can you be a bit clearer on the distinction here? It's "synchronous" in the sense that the code is straight-line synchronous, but threads are scheduled in part based on I/O events (IIRC, this used to be the primary way threads were scheduled).

Yes, every connection has a (small) thread stack associated with it. But in a "truly asynchronous" network program, every connection still has memory associated with it; it's just that the memory doesn't take the form of a procedure stack.
> will you say the same thing about working conditions in sweatshops? Should the kids assembling iPhones also 'find' another job?

Comparing highly paid software engineers to kids working in sweatshops is ridiculous at best, insulting at worst.

Some companies have strict working hours of 9–5. There are plenty of job openings at such companies. Again, should I complain about the penalty I would inevitable receive from such companies for not showing up at 9am?
At the highest levels of every type of professional sports, competitors are working hard to seek an edge. Some of those edges are legitimate and "in-bounds" (training harder/smarter/better equipment within the rules); others are outside the bounds.
Add Theranos's governance issues to the list, too. Most Valley startups make do with non-famous directors who hold VC/angel stakes -- and are prone to riding management hard about real or imagined problems with the business. That tension is part of the deal; it's pretty inescapable.

Theranos created this alternative reality with globally famous directors in their 80s and 90s, who offered instant prestige, without being the types that would ever challenge the CEO's grasp of business details. Wow, it must a joy ride to have Dr. Kissinger on your board. Or maybe not.

When Theranos's governance proved unreal, that became sweet vindication for every Valley CEO/CFO who ever stayed up past 1 a.m. getting every last number in shape for a hectoring, detail-obsessed board meeting the next day.
Idiomatic Go code also doesn't use mutexes and concurrent memory access, unless you're trying to argue that channels are implicitly mutexes. Also: you now seem to be subtly backing off your original point. Can we stipulate that the performance of most network programs would not be meaningfully improved by switching from M:N I/O scheduled threads to async I/O?
Flow is the Opiate of the Mediocre (2011)
I'd bet there's not a single star athlete in any sport that hasn't used performance enhancing drugs in some way. Test doesn't just make your muscles grow; it allows you to train harder and recover faster. The benefits are obvious. Stars have been caught in nearly every single sport you can think of -- football, baseball, track, cycling, distance running, sprinting, swimming, weightlifting, bodybuilding (well, they mostly don't bother testing), etc. Even movie stars are doing them (see eg Hugh Jackman jumping 20 lbs lean muscle mass in 6 months in his 40s to play Wolverine.)

Where stars aren't getting caught testing is lax or the drugs have outrun the testing regimes (basketball, crossfit, tennis).

In the year 2016, believing that the best athletes aren't using the same drugs as everyone else requires willful suspension of disbelief. After all, look at what they did for eg Barry Bonds -- they turned a clear hall of fame player into probably the best to ever play baseball. Every star athlete, and they tend to be ultra competitive, wants the same thing.
As I recall it, Odysseus was just one of many suitors of Helen and in fact had to be strong-armed into joining the Greek invasion. Might you perhaps be thinking of Penelope?

At the time I'm writing this, there are five top level comments. Three (3) are from new users (BergintheBay, shrave, & yawaworht), one is from a user who has only made a single comment (this one) in their 201 days on HN (jkalan), and one who has made a whole 3 comments (including this one) in their 910 days on HN.

Something seems more than a little fishy!

I applaud the scale and reach that Unsplash has achieved. It's a great resource. But at a certain point, cost savings do matter and it makes sense to make a change.

At this scale Heroku is always going to be more expensive than AWS or Digital Ocean. What happens when the Heroku bill hits $10K/mo?

Once they hit the next S3 bandwidth tier (350TB), Imgix becomes roughly 50% more expensive than just putting images on S3.

Everyone has their own heuristic for these decisions, but once you get in the realm of "1 or 2 people's entire salaries of savings" that's when I start really thinking hard about changing infrastructure providers.

> $18k is a lot of money to spend each month. Understanding the scale of Unsplash though can help explain the costs.

But does it justify the cost? Are you able to attribute new business from Unsplash? Does it bring in enough money to cover the $18K AND the salaries of the people who mantain it AND the opportunity cost of what they could be working on?

"Strong AI" is a not a very well-defined problem. People will disagree on whether something is a strong AI -- to the point that any solved problem will no longer be considered strong AI, as soon as it has been solved. Quantum computing is much more well-defined, and thus we'll likely have a quantum computer before a strong AI. That being said, I would also expect some very major advances in the wider field of AI before we get to large scale quantum computers.
My main criticism is that it requires Chrome, which I don't want.
This is akin to the fact that non-technical people (and, hell, even technical people) have no conception of the costs of software development.

Thank you! Currently it's a hobby; my background is in tech. This is the second script I've written. The first was a fake premiere for S3 of Silicon Valley (http://bit.ly/1LOZZpT).
I am glad this is happening. Theranos lent credibility to the idea that Silicon Valley technology investors were and are in a position to improve society through funding legitimate scientific research, in contrast to say, Snapchat. Theranos lied, which might not have been a problem had it not been praised so much, and the board hadn't been stacked with major power brokers who are supposed to have integrity. The best we can do is figure out who was responsible and put them on a cross before the reputation of the whole venture community suffers from this scandal.
Excellent question. The rates are between LACKII and the co-working space. Because co-working spaces vary in size, rates are negotiated based on a couple of factors, including the total number of members which affects the total number of Lackiis needed, and the total number of hours the co-working space would like the Lackii team available per week (e.g. 40 hours a week, or 24/7)

German utilities have been complaining for years that excess german solar capacity is forcing them to run their dynamos below capacity, i.e. inefficiently. If the german plants gain that efficiency back by supplying dutch demand, sounds okay to me.
Perhaps implement something similar to the parc ferme rules in F1? Where the winning cars and impounded after the race for detailed inspection and measurements by the stewards to ensure that they comply with the thousands of regulations?

Drivers have been disqualified in the past for a spoiler or brake caliper measurement that are millimetres out, and I remember Daniel Ricciardo was stripped of his podium here in Australia a couple of years back when his fuel flow regulator was found to have a flow rate that was a few mils out.
Storage is the /only/ way for solar to provide baseload power. Pumped water storage is vastly cheaper than batteries, and a better example of grid scale storage today. I should add that battery prices are coming down as volume increases (manufacturing learning curve), but not as fast as photovoltaic cells.

Elon Musk's goal with tesla is to boost battery production volume significantly to reduce the cost of batteries.

This is a really low quality article.

That is a sad indictment of US politics.
Theranos has at least two mainstream venture funds among its investors. These funds have limited partners, most of which are fairly famous institutions (including big-name universities). These LPs hate to see their money squandered -- and they may feel a legal obligation to raise a ruckus.
