>Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinions. I guess we fundamentally disagree on how historical events should be interpreted.

As I said previously, I would love to hear the historical case you have in mind. Let's examine the facts and discuss further. Saying we disagree in the interpretation of historical events without even discussing any is a cop out and intellectually disingenuous.

>Industries don't exist to meet demands, they exist to create profit. Meeting an external demand can create profit, but so can unlawful or immoral business practices.

In a free (and freeish) market, businesses cannot survive without meeting customers' demands. It's possible a business owner could have a myriad of motivations, but the fact remains they must at least be meeting customer demands. But this goes back to the comment above. Please provide an example of an industry that was at least relatively laissez faire and failed to meet customer demands.

>This is the very reason why people seek an organized entity (like a government) to negotiate on their behalf.

I know very few people who view the government as an organization which negotiates on their behalf. In fact I can safely say I have never before heard anyone describe government in such a manner.

>Pristine economic theories work nicely in a bubble, but we don't live in one.

Unfortunately socialism doesn't even work in the bubble (it has been debunked thoroughly by economists such as F. A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and Murray Rothbard among others), let alone the real world. Thankfully capitalism has an excellent track record and we know empirically of its efficacy to improve the standard of living and increase human cooperation.

>In what world is it good socialist policy to squander trillions of dollars?

I have no idea what "good socialist policy" is as it seems like an oxymoron to me, but I think it's only fair that those who had their money forcefully taken from them determine whether the money is being squandered.
On phones, http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/Tel... is probably a better estimate of the user's home country and getNetworkCountryIso() is a good estimate of the user's current country. The fact that my Android phone doesn't have en_CA as a locale option (maybe because they're too cheap to localize the system apps for Canadians, who mix British and American spellings) means that anybody who tries to get the country from the locale region code won't recognize Canadians with this phone.

The tabs feature is under the heading, "Initial investigations/explorations" something tells me they are not working on anything just yet. If the feature makes it through, we might not see it for sometime yet. Disappointing, tabs are a definite must for me.
When they don't have it people want it, and when they get it, they don't want it. Run down cities, rust belt cities wish for gentrification, people who live in places going down hill wish for it too, it brings safer neighborhoods, better stores, more jobs, on the other hand people decry rising rents and "changing the character" of the neighborhood, as if unemployment and the transients didn't also"change the character" of the neighborhood.

Basically people want it both ways. Have their cakes and eat them too.
> Maybe western law is mostly derived from a sensible universal moralism with certain exceptions.

It's actually easy to show that this isn't possible, because the amount of western law is much larger than a single person could ever hold in his head. This could not be the case for "universal" moralism, which is by definition shared by everyone.

> Many studies have shown your average criminal to be a fairly messed up individual: mental illness, strong personality faults, poor reasoning skills, poor executive control, poor discipline, etc.

I suspect these are studies of caught criminals. They can't apply to uncaught criminals, and they specifically don't apply to Paul le Roux (caught or not) without adjustment for the type of crime being committed. He filled a managerial role; "most criminals" in those studies (and most criminals generally) don't.
If you owned a business and you thought you owned 100% of it- and worked on it for 2 years how would you feel if someone shows up at the end saying they actaully are 50% owners. And they never said a word about it the entire 2.5 years you were working on it?

You were marching along working your ass off thinking you owned X but someone else believed they owned half of X and didn't say anything?

Isn't that a bigger deception? I think under US law there is a concept where if you don't speak up and it leads people to bad assumptions it can be problematic suing later.
I wouldn't call it just an editor, but rather a development tool which is context aware and provides a lot of info about the codebase you're working on, plus helps with the excellent IntelliSense / code completion.

You should take a closer look at it's features.
so in this language these all do the same thing:

abc,
"abc",

How does increasing the scope simplify things?

> He finds Jeremy, they talk, they hit it off, and they decide to apply to YC together, and Kyle offers to split the existing company 50/50. But they don't put anything in writing...

One of the major questions is whether the YC application and any stated intent for a 50/50 split in it would be that writing.
They should keep a hash of the finger print info, not the info itself. I don't know how it would work, but keeping biometric data for authentification is indeed potentially worse than keeping plain text passwords.

Like, the output range of a convnet, or something.
Sure, but again a company with Uber's money and network can afford to explore creating such a service, without having to fold before they can. More, they could sustain it, and generalize it to a network of "Trusted drivers".

So, to me, it seems much more viable as a sub-unit of a larger company.
“Obama Likely Won Re-Election Through Election Fraud” SHOCKER
You're right about the date of incorporation, so my comments about "before paperwork" were wrong.

Anyway, my main point above was that giving Delaware $20 to download the incorporation documents is not likely to resolve the case. Thanks.
The doctrine of "consideration" means that both sides have to be getting something out of a contract, or else it is not a contract at all. Lots of people have argued for or against it, and the main rationale is probably just the fact that it is traditionally defined that way. This is why you often see people selling things for nominal values like $1 or whatever.
"If you apply to YC with someone who knows the YC partners better than you and your co-founder decides to push you out, your co-founder will be supported by YC against you"

What? One founder worked on the company for almost 3 years and the other party in question worked on the company for one month, yet this is a huge YC conspiracy? How do you get this crap out of the written complaints in any way?

The YC application isn't a legal document and Kyle (having gone through YC) knows this. Legally he'd have full ownership and in the application specify 50/50 meaning if/when they formalize the relationship that is what the equity split will be. YC doesn't really care what the actual current/legal split is at the time you write the application. What they care about is what the split will be by the time you start YC because that is what is relevant to them.

And (my guess) is that the real reason they care about the split is that they're looking for red flags. i.e. is the cap table already messy with lots of people on it? Is the split NOT 50/50 signalling the founders don't consider each other equals which is a bad sign, etc.
1) Yes, kids die.
2) Yes, it's real.
3) Yes, it's the world we live in.
4) Probably not, the civilian fatalities are the result of poor judgement calls made by humans, not machine error.
5) Certainly, but the CIA (who is behind most of these strikes) tends to do whatever it feels like.

The commission is going to have to talk about encryption if they're to address information security. It might not be the same debate as the iPhone case, but encryption is central to cybersecurity. So, to say they won't talk about encryption is a non sequitur.
We decided to work on this idea because we wanted to introduce the convenient factor in the job application process. This is different because not only are we creating a match system but we are accelerating the actually hiring process with PRIB, We figured why not have one websites rather than have two or more outlets to achieve those steps individually. Jobr is basically tinder for jobs and really does not convene enough jobs.
If you're using a strongly typed language, XML even has one (IMO) massive advantage over JSON: You can use XSD to define a schema declaratively. This means you get

(1) lots of general tooling support, in particular you get at least decent editor support for your config file, and

(2) you can autogenerate the code needed to read your configuration into structured data without having to do any unnecessary duplication of "key names" (tags) as you have to with e.g. INI or JSON. You also get the data sturctures themselves for "free" (based on the XSD).

Alright, it's not the end of the world to not have these things, but they're both very nice to have.
Fun related fact: when an area is gentrifying, more development is actually correlated with LESS displacement for the existing residents, not more: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/12/the-p...

"...the California Legislative Analyst’s Office recently released some positive data backing up this point: Particularly in the Bay Area since 2000, the researchers found, low-income neighborhoods with a lot of new construction have witnessed about half the displacement of similar neighborhoods that haven’t added much new housing."
That's not as good as the SVC because you'll still get unnecessary diffs when prepending to the list

Why would I take the money? Because I've seen someone sue and win a lawsuit and I just wouldn't want to go through the stress of it. Even if I thought I was right and could win. Everyone has their price, maybe Jeremy would have settled for $20M.

I would really like to use VS Code as my primary editor but it has some issues that need to be fixed first, most importantly how slow the go to file functionality is. I work on a project (Chromium) that has tens of thousands of source files and while Sublime Text can handle that without issues, VS Code can't.

I would also like to see the C++ intellisense plugin that's under development improved further. I've found it to be a lot slower than QtCreator at indexing symbols.
And uses spaces instead of tabs. Someone will need to go fix them up.

I'd imagine most of them start that way. Most startups go without a formal partnership agreement or incorporation until they need it (like being funded). Look at the winklevosses and facebook

This is California. Frivolous lawsuits make up a meaningful portion of our GDP.
NTLM auth is but one of various other roadblocks in a corporate environment.

In my previous job, the company runs a MITM proxy, it broke SSL checks for package managers. You ended up having to disable SSL checks and load up company-issued certs.

I asked whether we can find a solution to this issue on the company forum, as there are other developers and data analyst whose life can be made easier if this just works, the response I get was: "just download them manually", I kid you not.
Very cool! Thanks, I just ordered it
For those worried about [ethnic]. I believe a black, white, asian, hispanic, etc... can have the same ethnicity. It is not necessarily racial.
How do you plan to maintain the data in Sure? You mentioned that you crowd-sourced the current data in SF and Copenhagen from local bloggers, but did you had somebody double check these places? What happens if one of these places do get shut down or closed? Having a chatbot on Messenger means that people are placing trust on you - and will be hard to gain back once it's lost or given a bad choice of place. Will people be able to flag places as closed within the conversation? What about preferences? E.g. If I don't want to be recommended the same place again next time I talk to Sure?

All this aside, great job guys! Try to surf the ride and do not fall down!
A lot of people are focusing on your sorting comment, but I want to point out that your 1M LOC is already benefiting from generics. Slices, map and chan are polymorphic types, and functions like make(), len(), append(), copy(), etc. are generic.

The only distinction is that they're built in. But they are demonstrably useful, and your codebase would be worse without them.

It's hard to argue the hypothetical effect, good or worse, of generics on a codebase. You can't claim to know it for certain, seeing as the definition of generics isn't even completely defined. Maybe it wouldn't be hugely better. I don't think anyone is claiming that generics would be magical.

But well-designed generics (Haskell, Ocaml) can improve in other ways, some more or less subtle than others: You get less boilerplate, more code reuse, expressiveness. Go is pretty easy to read, but I find that the lack of expressiveness tends to obscure the meaning more than it reveals it. For example, you tend to end up with clunky C-style loops where a map would be much more concise, expressive and readable.

Another example: map types. I frequently find myself writing awkward code to copy maps, merge them, apply a common access pattern (such as [1], which coincidentally horrific and probably not performant) and so on. The ergonomics are terrible.

I disagree that it's not a "bother". It probably depend on what the project is; I also work on distributed apps, though.

After 500, Vasco da Gama’s Esmeralda shipwreck has been discovered
The elephant in the room, and the aspect of this issue that no one wants to talk about is that players can play on these servers for free. Any player who drops their WoW subscription in favor of a private server is a loss for blizzard, and some players are thrifty enough to do this. Thus, even though the server might not be charging, it's certainly draining revenue from Blizzard. If the population was 150k, then some % of those were paying customers anyway, and some would play only if it's free, while others might pay for WoW if a free server was not available.

WoW currently costs $15/mo. Blizzard is in a much better position to have numbers for this, but let's say that the existence of the free server might have discouraged 50 K people from having subscriptions who otherwise would have. Assuming 50K, then that's a monthly loss of $750,000 in revenue; or if all 150K did not subscribe but would have, it's $2,250,000/mo. Given that servers are relatively cheap, probably a good portion of that would be profit.

The people who say that the servers do not threaten blizzard are naïve or at worst disingenuous. They threaten Blizzard exactly as much as they discourage people from having wow subscriptions whenever they would otherwise. A player who spends a lot of time on a private server is probably not going to see a lot of value in keeping their WoW account active, after all. Given the way network effects work, a popular server could have a runaway success effect (people tend to play where a critical mass of their friends play). Furthermore, it is probably quite difficult to convince a player to reactivate their account once the successfully play for a while on a private server and have friends there; the server is probably very sticky.

Rather than asking Blizzard to bring back old versions of the game, perhaps Blizzard should embrace a model where players can run their own servers and list them in a public directory, such the players still require a subscription in order to play. And perhaps the server gets song cut of the profit from players who predominantly play on their server, like 10%. Perhaps this could align the interest of Blizzard and server hosts too much greater degree. The analog of a gameplay mod in other games is more like a custom server in wow, and think of all the good that's come from mods like DOTA. There are still a number of reasons why Blizard would not want to do this, such as the fact they lose control of customer experience, but maybe it's closer to a workable model.
The things you depict as "training" ought to be business-value-additive tasks that happen to be both my daily work and also tasks that facilitate the career growth I desire. If the business can't do that, then they hired me for the wrong reasons. If they can't fix it, but are happy with my performance on tasks not related to my goals, they may be disappointed when I leave, and hopefully learn that it's necessary to structurally build into the concept of hiring someone the need to empower their personal goal achievement, just as their labor empowers business success.

Also, there is no reason why compensation must be conserved when decomposed into some traditional monetary part and some part from goal achievement. It could just be that I become more costly to employ as time goes on while at the same time I never reach a degree of costliness that motivates my employer to end the relationship. In fact, that seems obvious and surely something businesses plan for when investing in a long-term hire.

Also, my value to the company is not only my short-term labor, but also my future stream of labor. If they want me to stick around such that they profit from that future stream, they may have to do things that reduce my short-term output. It all comes down to what is their discount factor.

Expecting zero support in this regard is the same as assuming a hyperbolic discount function (or an extremely low probability that you'll choose to continue with that firm).

Finally, some of this is simply non-negotiable biology. Self-Determination Theory and theories of heteronomous vs autonomous goal satisfaction are just biologically at odds with what you describe. Wise companies would factor this in rather than trying to shoehorn humans into non-human situations and require them to attempt to sublimate away the basic need or drive.
Sam is obviously a very smart guy, but not a very wise one. He is, after all, only 30 years old. He let his emotional side (anger, frustration) get the better of him when he published that blog post. It's not how a competent leader would have acted.
Java has support for Go-like concurrency and much more in java.lang.concurrency packages.

The only difference is lack of special syntax and being harder to use for basic blog post examples.

Usually people that compare parallel programming in C++, Java or .NET vs Go, never went beyond the basic thread features.
Unfortunately, conflicts in white-space based languages can get even worse than regular conflicts because you have very few visual structural "anchors" to start to gain an understanding of the conflict. (If you have to resolve manually, that is.)

Granted, if the number of conflicts which cannot be automatically resolved is reduced by enough, then it might not matter in the grand scheme of things. However, I'd be worried that this would make "accidental" automatic resolution of semantic conflicts more common. That may be an unfounded/irrational fear, I don't know.

Coupling small molecules to antibodies is tricksy :-P.

There have been a lot attempts at doing that (the first I recall is from the late 90's but possibly even earlier), but not many have made it into actual clinical practice. Turns out that the linkage is important, the pharmacokinetics can get complicated and getting the proper concentration in the bloodstream can be difficult. That said I've heard people are getting this kind of strategy to work more recently, particularly in oncology.

But of course, better understanding and finding an alternative method around the blood brain barrier is absolutely critical to drug development. It's a huge issue for any small molecule treatment for neurological disease, and regardless of how you conjugate or what you conjugate it to (now that we know something about it, maybe a full antibody isn't required, you could maybe get nearly the same effect with a shorter peptide), this is a breakthrough.
