The Average 29-Year-Old
I'm amused that the tech company map from the article doesn't have an entry for the Google NYC office, considering that there are at least 2000 engineers working there (dwarfing everyone else on the map AFAIK):

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*Uva0USM-qa8W_TByj...

For a second I thought it was only showing pre-IPO companies, but then I saw that Twitter and Facebook are on there.

It's even more entertaining because Spotify is shown at their old address, which is actually the Google NYC building.

Dropbox is also missing but I'm guessing that's because its NYC office was too new for this map (Kickstarter has also recently moved to Greenpoint).
Even PBS and NPR while very good, push narratives these days. Same goes for wikipedia. Journalism is dead and nobody seems to care about facts anymore.
That would be timing belt, not serpentine belt, I think. (Just in case someone wants to go looking through service records or talk to a service advisor about the job.)

This makes no sense: "While simultaneously, big tech engages in non-productive stock buybacks to prop up valuations with cash resources better used for new R&D or M&A"

What?! It isn't like the money used in a stock buyback just disappears from the economy. That money will be turned around and invested in some other company, that might actually needs money and has a purpose to use it for. That is how the economy works.

It is much better at a macroeconomic level for a company to return cash that it doesn't feel it can efficiently use to its investors, rather than try to chase some investment that won't have a good return just because you have the money.

This whole site seems pretty lacking in terms of understanding of how things work.
Eh, the tact was definitely off, but the message still holds some some truth. I've worked at my fair share of large companies and the mark of a shift of events towards misery, dread and outage galore is when h1b becomes more widespread combined with folks getting replaced with other folk out of Hyderabad/Bangalore/etc. There's also a lot to be said for ensuring that the local workforce has exposure to technical work to build local skill.

Some of the most talented, smartest and hardest working folk I've met hold h1bs, so I'm not opposed to the idea by any means, just the current state and the implementation that got us here. Those same guys also say that they feel like they're pinned to jobs they often loathe since they'll be kicked out of the country if they quit - even after getting a degree here.
Is it? Long lasting durable white goods are available if you purchase from the manufacturer's commercial line - they are built to higher standards as businesses purchase them based on lifetime ROI. However, few consumers buy them as the bottom line price is too high.

Just face it, people are cheap and care most about the sticker price.

Hey guys, creator of pppulp here. After helping a lot of friends and clients to success with their startups I figured it was about time I had a turn. pppulp is an Angular + Node + Heroku stack, and my first big undertaking as a full stack dev/designer.

Following the launching adage, there are plenty of parts I'm embarrassed by. Hopefully getting your feedback can inspire me to keep building on this further as there are some great new features and integrations I'm looking to add.
A representative sample of the current understanding is here:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22600/

"Proteins ingested in the diet are digested into amino acids or small peptides that can be absorbed by the intestine and transported in the blood."

If by "animal-source protein strings" you mean "small peptides", then yes. But in general they still have to be resynthesized into the proteins used by the body. There might be a few useful proteins that are small enough to fall into the "small peptide" range and would therefore be absorbed and used as-is.

Prions have a little over 200 amino acids, so they are on the large side to be considered "small peptides" (which AFAIK are typically a few to a couple of dozen amino acids). They appear to be resistant to the enzymes that normally digest proteins, and it doesn't appear to be clearly understood how they get from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. See, for example, here:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2538961/
> "secure" - what do you mean, it's a text editor, isn't it?

One of its features is that you can easily share your document with someone else across the internet with transparent encryption built in, so that the owner of the server and those on the network route never see the document.

Most other text editors don't have that feature, without combining them with other programs and services. They certainly don't make it as easy to do.

1. Find 25 IDEAL companies you would just love to work at.

2. Use your honed, battle-tested hustler-powers and hit up the founders. As they will definitely see your full potential.

3. Getting their emails these days is child's play. Crafting a must-open, well versed email is another thing. Be persistent and followup as they are busy.

4. Make sure when you do talk to them..you know their business model/product/users VERY well. Then demonstrate where there is potential room for growth aided by technology. Sign NDA's if you feel more comfortable.

Create your position. Good luck!

Not true at all. An out group hits me, innately I want to hit back. An out group shows me empathy innately I show it back. You would have to learn otherwise.

The in-group out-group is some higher part of the brain that rationalised our values.
Thanks for your support and interest. This is could one of pg's "do things that don't scale" kind of oppurtunity.

The idea is that when you have concentration of users with somewhat similar reading habits (like the HN community), economies of scale kick in where the cost of analyzing each article drops to pretty much nothing/view and access to summaries is near instantaneous in 99.9% of the cases.

As a personal assistant type service it would be limited to a very small niche of very wealthy/no time users. I'm very excited by all the support this is getting and am going to get started on a MVP soon. You'll be one of the first people I'd reach out to :)
Obvious explanation, not only explanation.

Would it really be do surprising if similar experiments all working from the same basic design using similar components under similar conditions suffered from the same design flaw?
Yes, exactly. Roles would generally be by department, or in an application/department matrix.

Your hospital example is spot on, and in finance a department might be a trading group.
No discussion of food and diet beliefs of the time is complete without considering the beliefs of medicine at the time. The article only obliquely hints at this "although it had to be considered whether or not a specific meat was suited to one's "humour", occupation, and even nationality". It's a belief that seems to have held from ancient Greek times and shares much with ancient Chinese and Egyptian beliefs.

The four humours were associated with different qualities, personality types and body types, and consisted of 4 basic substances we were all made up of. Food was thought to be important means of cure and compensating for the humours, and balancing those elements.

It's basically a set of beliefs that dominated for 2,000+ years.

See http://kheper.net/topics/typology/four_humours.html or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorism for a bit more depth.

Of course if you were a poor labourer I doubt much of this entered into your thinking on food!
I've spent 6 years now in the Bay area and before that 5 years in NYC all with startups. When I left NYC the biggest difference between the areas (other then easy Bay area money) was that most startups in NYC seemed to be started by business people while out west they are mostly started by tech people.

My time at 3 startups while in NYC were mostly the same. The founders and exec team looking at the engineers like a dime a dozen work force that they could easily replace. When I moved out west it was a shock that engineers were held with high regard.

Things may have changed but that's the main reason I felt was holding NYC back.
I wanted a Windows phone. The GUI was so nice. But they sort of give up. Knowing MS, they are probably cooking something now that they are in the embrace stage of their business plan.
If that was true, that wouldn't need to free ride on other peoples product and market development. Yeah, it's not the flashy big-picture innovation that goes into inventing whole new product categories -- but it has a cost and provides values, and if Amazon is swooping in to eat the returns of other firms investments, they destroy the incentive to make the ivestments, and improvements in the product categories at risk will be impaired.
I'm curious what the abilities are in your case ?
OK, so here are my barriers (from painful experience)

a) Need to run a very multidisciplinary culture - electronics, product design,brand, marketing, software, firmware, sourcing, manufacturing, dfm, test, compliance, distribution,returns, cust service etc.

b) Need to synchronise the rhythms of delivery of these different disciplines (no agile process for hard-tooling molds)

c) Need a defensible business model eg some software/ service/ brand component so you don't just get copied

d) You need capital for your supply chain and partners. Volume matters, sometimes you can't even get to the table without volume purchasing. NB you need capital for your first 2 products.

e) The competition is really good (Apple,Sony etc.) The margins are small. The business model is much worse than software or services. Many hardware companies make their money on related services (phones, consoles, printers) so customers don't realise what a 'fair' price is for a hardware item.
I see, so we have an arbitrary law around an amoral action, so it's not relevant to the discussion of amoral actions?

Docker is great, but there can still be subtle differences even for the same image that cause different problems in different environments. The same docker file in my experience does not run the same in all environments always. And if you want to mount a filesystem into the container do you can update code in real time all bets are off. I'm sure many of these issues will be resolved as docker matures. YMMV
iOS doesn't expose the majority of its APIs as a C++ APIs, they are either plain C, or Objective-C.

The SDK you mention is a code example, that is the only support iOS offers for C++, meaning infrastructure code with little interaction to the whole iOS stack.

If I am not mistaken (no iOS dev), besides the IO Kit and Metal shaders, there isn't much more in terms of C++ APIs in iOS.

You have to wrap calls to Objective-C via Objective-C++, for a full stack app. With Swift slowly taking the place of Objective-C, this will be even harder.

Whereas WP offers the so called projections as C++/CX (similar to using Objective-C++ in concept), C++ with the WRL template library, or plain modern C++.

All of those projections offer 100% of WP APIs as C++ APIs.

Although actually the majority of WP developers just makes use of C# alongside C++.

Consumer Reports: Model X Quality Issues
Comedians dance a fine line. The best can waltz back and fourth across the line with practiced precision.

Rape is about power. Power conceded by the victims and forcefully taken by the attackers.

A rape joke could make fun of how, useless, sad, an worthless a person would have to be to force themself on others.

How the act itself is nothing but a pathetic act of desperation.

Use perspective, artful storytelling, crafty dialog/writing to take the power from the attackers. Face the fear behind their actions and reduce it to reality; that rape is a sad, terrible, pathetic thing to do to somebody.

Take away the power from fear and gove it back to the victims in the form of empathy and support.

The 'sacred cows' as you say aren't just topics with shock value. They're topics that people are afraid of. Whether because they're taboo, morrally wrong, or legitimately terrifying.

Some may say that the victims suffer more due to living dealing with the shame and lying to loved ones to keep their past a secret.

In the right hands a truly talented comedian could make a great rape joke that is actually empowering to rape victims. One that makes the topic less taboo and helps victims feel less shame in a past that they had no power to shape.

Tasteless humor is noyhing but an ad-hominem dressed up with a fancy delivery. Good comedians don't attack people, they shine light on the ridiculousness of life and in doing so bring people together.
I disagree. More power to you. Please keep it up. Best of luck.
... which is about as far away from NYC (185 miles and a 3.7 hour drive from Manhattan, according to Google Maps) as Cambridge, MA is. It's near the NY/VT border, north of MA.

I'd guess that "just outside of NYC" is a typo for "just outside of Boston" rather than an ignorance of geography.

I got to the same conclusion Ai will increase efficiency so a company will need fewer workers. Ai augmented humans might be better than ai or humans alone but results in the same thing loss of human jobs.
I have to say though most automation these days increases effiency for companies but passes the work to the end user. With true Ai that will probably change.
I can't answer that with definitive nature; my impression is that the virtuous cycle of senior folks with great exits becoming VCs doesn't occur as much.

What I really liked about this approach is that it makes packaging the "Arduino" inside a common battery holder very easy. Maybe one or two holes are needed to connect sensors and you have a pretty nifty enclosed "Arduino". What we now need is someone to build a battery enclosure with exposed poins. Anyone from Adafruit, Tindie, etc. here? :)
I had a year like that, 2014. I had four specific goals: write an album of music, create a video game, write a novel, and continue my chronological reread of Stephen King.

By the end of the year, I had written 60 pages and read one of the Stephen King books.

In 2015 I doubled down on music, and recorded 10 songs.

Until there are consequences for such actions cops will continue to get away with murder. I don't support the death penalty except for cops and other government officials who abuse their positions. Till that is a real threat people will continue to be murdered in cold blood and the public will continue to think, rightfully so, that cops are just scum.
To state things explicitly: "It is commonly believed that 'information wants to be free, therefore I should not pay for it', and so people are opposed to paying for journalism. As a consequence, organizations that exist to do the sort of vetting that the parent talks about find it harder and harder to get revenue from that activity. Therefore, they not only have no incentive to pay people to do that, they in fact risk going bankrupt if they do that."
Pleasantly surprising to see it actually works (even if on an isolated power supply for safety)
I totally get the concept, the problem is the execution is always terrible. The one has extremely similar problems to the PS3 because they both try to be a ton of things they didn't need to be. The PS4 is much better, Sony learned it was better to be great at one thing than to be ok at one thing and suck at a whole bunch of other things, and hopefully Microsoft will learn that too.

I know it gets over-referenced here on HN but the old Henry Ford "if I asked people what they wanted they'd say a faster horse, not a car" quote is pretty applicable here. This obviously doesn't make much sense to us, putting a wi-fi chip on a wine bottle, but I'm sure people back in the 1900's didn't realize why it was important to have a four-wheeled vehicle with an internal combustion engine in it. I think we should be celebrating the fact that technology has come so far that we can feed the data collected from a wine bottle automatically to the computer in your pocket.
I don't see the competition, I would still buy the non Amazon Basic one. The only time I grab a Amazon Basic product when I don't need it a "long" time. actually even the amazon basic batteries are worse than any cheap vatra.
if people would care about quality they would mostly spend less money on rebuying the same damn thing.

btw. on the german website the amazon basic thing looks very different when I search for laptop stands (only a direct search 'AmazonBasic laptop stand' would give me the thing in the news and actually even then there is another competitor that isn't Amazon and 10 € cheaper than the Rain Design). it is more close to a product by hama which was there LONG LONG before the Rain Design product. Also Rain Design has sometimes flaws. According to buyers, sometimes you get scratches or rough edges. For 50 bucks thats definiv a NoGo!
