It might be desirable now, but those '60s/'70s OSes probably weren't dynamically allocating memory ever. They'd make a buffer in [their equivalent to] the .BSS section that was M×sizeof(int), and another that was N×sizeof(float), and then they'd process records through those buffers blockwise.

I need an app that scans receipts, runs OCR on them and extracts given data fields using regex. Both pictures and extracted data need to be send to a backend provided by me. Ideally, the app can be build using web stack so it can be used via browser as web app so we do not need to code native for iOS and Android . Users need to be auth before using the app since scans and data will be saved under each users account.

The Web Project Manager's Guide to Avoiding and Resolving Conflicts
He can safely call for higher capital gains taxes - since most of his money is hidden offshore and away from US accounting. My boss used Bill's accountants, as did many Silicon Valley executives, and described to me some of Bill's tricks for hiding money using offshores. US profits are completely hidden from US accounting. The .1% have already taken all the wealth and hidden it - so taxing the income of the .1% and taxing capital gains isn't enough. And when the rich tell us that they are "giving it all away" we should more than skeptical.
VAT administration tends to require transaction data.

For sales tax based systems, total aggregate turnover is enough; but to monitor VAT you'd need at least the aggregate volume grouped by all your B2B (VAT paying) customers and suppliers.

Bcoates,
At Utiliz we have spent a significant amount of time looking at the energy market, average usage and addressable customers and our estimate on savings is more than a few dollars. Kevin came up with this idea after saving a few hundred last year through frequent switching. We estimate we can save the average household on the order of $150-300/year, at a cost of $30. It's free money, and that doesn't include the time we save people having to do it themselves. The bigger ambition is that by doing this we rationalize the chaotic consumer electricity market, force bad suppliers out, reduce electricity rates through broker negotation on our increasing client book, and finally help states deliver on the promise of deregulation. That is the moon shot

You can categorize the potential customers into 4 main cohorts:
(1) Educated and spend time every few months finding the best plan and enjoy it - we will never get these guys
(2) Educated and spend time every few months finding the best plan and hate it - we will win all of these - Kevin lives here
(3) Educated and keep forgetting to switch on time - we will win all of these - Tom lives here
(4) Not educated and need to better understand the whole process - this is a massive cohort where we can probably win 25 - 50%

Happy to continue the discussion

Tom
I still don't see the tie to sex/gender. Yes, it's a compelling angle, but I don't see it dominating the offering as interesting. Theranos has been pitched as revolutionary without even mentioning the founder--I only learned about her long after the skepticism hit hard.

You mean the broken link to the study? I'll posit you didn't even click through the link I provided. Pot, meet kettle.

Just judging from the article (which leaves a lot to be desired), though, it sounds like a small sample size, with no control group, and hasn't been reproduced.

Edit: I'm not saying it's impossible; it's a known issue: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/69/6/1117.full

There are reasons that most doctors recommend lifestyle changes, slower maintainable weight loss (eg 1lb a week) and resistance training to combat muscle wasting. The Biggest Loser is already picking outliers, then putting them through programs that are definitely not sustainable long term. It's very possible that all this study shows is that losing weight TBL style is very bad for you, not that everyone gains the weight back. I still haven't after nine years.
Exactly. In the '60s and '70s malloc was a luxury that most programs didn't have, and so Rust's facilities weren't needed to ensure safety. That doesn't describe the state of play in 2016. Those safer languages from the '60s and '70s would also be inadequate to ensure safety today.
Business Insider? I barely know 'er!
This is the cheapest access you will ever get to Maciej Ceglowski.

But do they want access to Maciej Ceglowski? They didn't want access to me, even after I promised that I would refrain from providing any marketing advice; and I'd like to think that I could be a helpful member of the community.

(Which, incidentally, is why you don't see Tarsnap on this list. I figured that since YC had decided that they didn't want to award a fellowship, the best possible outcome of submitting Tarsnap here would be that YC gets pushed into funding someone they didn't want to fund... and I want to see Apply HN be a success, so I didn't want to sabotage it like that.)

> Other fields often get fairly competent journalists;

That's... not really true, especially when it comes to stuff like Bitcoin, which even a lot of experts don't understand (remember, people in our field are still struggling to write CRUD web apps). Medicine, for example, has equally complicated areas (cancer, epidemiology). I can't speak from personal experience (I'm not an expert in that field) but I have friends who are medical researchers and they are equally frustrated with medical journalism.

Ultimately, what we need are people who are actual experts in fields to be writing about those fields for a general audience, and get rid of journalists who aren't experts.

One thing that medicine does better is regulation. With odd exceptions like abortion, regulation of how doctors do their jobs is managed by other doctors. I would love if that was how things were done in computer fields.

How about message-passing without serialization? Imagine that what we got in the 1970s instead of Unix was something like an Erlang VM, in the sense of each OS "process" having an inbox ring-buffer to which other processes could write; and every process having a set of basic agreed-upon tagged types, such that processes could stick raw-memory structs into other processes' inboxes, as long as they consisted only of those basic tagged types.

I'm well aware. I don't often pitch it like that. It's only in the context of whether Krewe can be a unicorn do I bring it up. There are 60 million people in the US alone who say they're lonely. I think it's safe to say that those people could use a few more friends they have access to. But I haven't found it to be a hard convince any one else how much better their life would be if they had many more close connections. The problem is just getting enough people to listen.
Yes, it is very possible that it would matter greatly. People routinely count their calories at 1/3 of what they are really consuming. Get a scale, weigh your food. It is the only way to get useful accuracy.
What will be interesting is when rust gets its own ABI. There is an rfc for it even: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/600

Hopefully if such a thing exists you could link directly to a rust library from other high level languages and possibly even have lower overhead.

For now being able to do the equivalent of extern "C" is not that new but still really useful I suppose.
Given the cost of every square foot of living space in a space habitat I imagine the conditions would be closer to that of a nuclear submarine than a oil rig.
Every single news source I can think of these days that is free serves pure garbage to infuse traffic to get more money from Google ads (or any other).

I don't even click on BusinessInsider links on HN anymore. I prefer the reports to be more in depth and have more of the author in the report. If you are pressured to puke 5 of these a day, it will show in the content.

These journalism meltdowns are coming more and more now. I wish it will make a change.

If we don't have quality investigative journalism, were doomed
Well, really all three are due to insufficient launch capbility. We'll have to assemble the colony ship in orbit.

Really, we need to build the Orion nuclear pulse ship for heavy lift and intra-stellar transport.

Without a reworking of modern physics, the Alcubierre Drive for example, transport is going to take a loooong time.

Even if we didn't need a backup planet, this is the next phase is human exploration. It's inherently part of human nature to expand our prescense.
A cynical part of me (though it cannot match the article's author's cynicism, in the slightest) speculates that the reason culture is geared towards the under-40 crowd is simply that people above that age have usually had children, and therefore don't really do much worth telling stories about- and, further, are focused on individuals below 40 rather than themselves.

You're not cynical enough. The reason culture is geared toward those at the earlier end of a life's average parenting period is that they have more disposable income and they aren't as experienced in spending it. People in their 40s (or, should I say, with a certain level of life experience) are not as susceptible to advertising, both because they have kids and mortages and therefore disposable income is a lot more locked down, and because they often see the advertising coming from a mile away.

Money and manipulation, the one-two punch of commercial fascination.
This aircraft is never going to be risked on a ground attack mission. It was dumb for them to think it could fill that role.
I don't know if this technology works. If it doesn't--I don't care about rank and file workers just collecting a paycheck.

I would the integrity of an insider(a scientist who knows the tech doesn't work) staying on.

That said, I have found ethics are sorely missing in too many sectors of our ecomony. Personally, I've never been one of those guys who says, "Hay, it's legal!". I despise those people.

I'll take a non-violet sociopath, over a guy with a fancy degree/suit who is exploiting the poor, and uniformed, just because they can. (I don't want to get in an argument over semantics--you know what I mean? I went too far with the sociopath, but I just trying to convey my frustration. I'm trying to expose what I'm seeing people do daily. I'm don't like this lack of integrity/morals. It's actually my biggest gripe. I've had it since I walked out of a processional program. Maybe I still smarting from losing $20 grand over placebo?

Maybe I'm just getting older, and seeing just how far people will go on order to protect their economic future?

I used to think, I could judge a person's ethics by looking back at the Milgram experiment. Original researchers believed 2-3 out of a hundred would deliver the fatal shock. They did the experiment, and over 60% delivered the fatal shock.

I'm not just picking on Theranos' key researchers/scientists. I getting tired of doctors preforming unnecessary surgeries, or under treating the poor. I tired of lawyers going after people because they can. I'm tired of companies exploiting us because they can afford too, like VW. (I don't hate VW. There's a little part of me that understands what they did. I used VW because it was so recent, and I don't want to argue over Monsanto.)

I have found that when that time comes, that time where you need to raise your hand; if it is tied to a person financial future--most people sit there quietly.

And no--I don't expect the struggling student to buck the system, it's the one's who made it I'm looking at. I expecting them to set an example. Most don't. Or, maybe I'm looking at them in the wrong light? I'm too sick today to argue. I hope I'm wrong, and there are still people out there I can look up to?
This is ridiculous.

If Craig Wright came to me and said he was Satoshi Nakamoto, I'd say, "Sign it with the genesis block's private key or GTFO." This is crypto, bitcoin is built on incontrovertible, mathematical proof. Why the hell would Satoshi do anything else?

If it ever comes to light that Craig Wright is trying to use this lie for some monetary advantage, he should be arrested for fraud, which is what this is.
I'm not sure I'm seeing your argument against using promises over observables for single events. Observables are a superset of promises, sure, but you can map them into situations where you'd use promises and then still have the flexibility of observables and all their operators. along with this you get the consistency of using the same async paradigm everywhere.

I find you run into trouble when you start mixing them. If you use observables for 0-N events and promises for 1 time events you're always converting between the two.
Wait what? Seriously, can I get a link on that one?
it's ironic that a supposed evidence-based medtech company lawyer-ed up on evidence-based reporting, especially at wsj. their lawyers should know better it's nearly impossible to stop journalists once they smell sh*t. so one of the explanations is that they just want to find the sources and plug the leaks.
>The link you provided is not evidence, just an anecdote

No it is not. A reproducible test is evidence, not anecdote.

>At best it's an indication that all compilers have some startup overhead, some more or less than others. Based on JVM startup time alone, I could "prove" that Java was the slowest language in the world.

That seems unlikely since we just saw otherwise.

>The burden is on you to provide evidence, since it is your claim

And I did. Dismissing it because it does not fit your preconceptions does not mean I need to continue supplying more and more evidence for you to dismiss without any justification.

>I develop in Go daily, and nothing I've seen indicates that Go is anywhere close to approaching C++ in compilation slowness. (I have also worked extensively with C++.)

Now that is an anecdote.
There is no equivalent of HIPPA in the UK?
> As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure you're downright lying

Abolishing the TSA doesn't mean ending airport security. It would mean replacing it with privatized security. The TSA is universally hated so it wouldn't be that hard to find enough Democrats to go along with it.
Thanks for the translation; that particular idiosyncratic usage defeated me.
Speaking only for myself, a middle-weight .NET dev who was, not too long ago, working desperately to find my footing in all this:

1. I think the learning curve to doing good work with Node is really shallow at first, and then it quickly gets almost vertical.

2. I think that ALL of the other server-side language/framework combos (Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, C#/.NET, PHP/Symfony, etc.) make it significantly easier for a "merely-good" dev to make really good Web applications.

3. I think the kinds of devs that work at, say, Netflix are often the kinds of devs that can do amazing things with almost any dev stack, but that leads directly to my last point:

4. I think that most junior devs are making a tactical mistake with their growth, and with their careers, when they choose Node for their first forays into Web app development. The relative chaos and churn, and questionable suitability of Node for many-maybe-most use cases, make Node more trouble than it is worth for someone still struggling to make sense of the basics.
I don't know much about cryptography, but can his keys be recreated with all the computing power all Bitcoin miners have ?
It's in the telcos interest to block WhatsApp, they're selling the SMS and phone calls that are used as backup.
+1 on the problem with a law startup. A couple of years ago I went to some law firms and asked about their need for search over all their documents. They weren't really interested in it as they can bill out s librarian at $125/hR while paying them $45/hr. So they actually make money on this.

That isn't to say this can change in the future but until then it is a very hard market to crack.

Oh and lawyers are cheap, many of them still use word perfect as why pay to upgrade?
BloomReach — Dallas, TX — Full Time — On Site

What's the best experience you've ever had developing against a third-party API?

I'm an engineer on BloomReach's Platform team and we're always trying to answer that question while we create the interfaces that many of the internet's largest retailers connect against to power their business.

We've recently expanded our presence to Dallas and are actively looking to hire a Full Stack, Frontend, or Product Engineer. This is a full-time, on-site position in a highly visible and impactful role at the company.

You'll be working with all product teams across BloomReach to define, design and develop a modern web api developer console and experience.

If you've ever tried to deconstruct how companies like Stripe, Twilio, Heroku, and Github make their platform pleasant to develop against, you should reach out. Meals on me.

stormy (at) bloomreach.com

As one of the early hires in the Dallas office, you'll also get to help define the Texas strain of BloomReach's vibrant startup culture.

We're consistently voted one of the best Bay Area companies to work for, and I can safely say we'll be the best in Dallas.

Salary is very competitive and we offer hefty bonus + equity portions as well. We don't have a req on our site, but this Mountain View based opening would be pretty similar (http://bloomreach.com/jobs/?gh_jid=73290).

Not directly on my team, but we've also got a Solutions and Support Engineer role open in Dallas (http://bloomreach.com/jobs/?gh_jid=188875). Would be happy to chat about that as well.
