I am happy that Fossil works well for you. I long ago stopped being interested in tweaking my version control system or living with "email is hard, let's move on" and I moved onto other things.

I still think the Fossil value proposition--one file with all your project ephemera--is a good one. It'd be neat if BitMover produce something similar, e.g. maybe not a file, maybe a directory, but same idea, etc.
I disagree somewhat. At least, in my experience:

Experience 1: 25 years old and applying for a $200k/year job. I didn't get it :( but the recruiter had my back and significant sway with the employer. He filled around 10 roles per year. He was also buddy of the person I sat next to but this was unknown to me, I was cold-called for the role. "This is small-fry for me, I usually just fill $500k+ roles."

Experience 2: Recently (10 years later) a recruiter asked me my expectation "It's in your interest to get me as much as possible" was my response. I _know_ there's more to a job than financial package, but that was that question dealt with. She called me after each interview within the hour, and gave me status updates every 2 days over a period of 4 weeks. Happened to be in the same city on a trip, and had lunch together. Nice lady. Didn't take the role in the end. Still in contact, no bridges burned.

I also agree somewhat.

Experience 3: I sit next to an HR Ops team that staff large tech companies. A team of 20 people that download and forward CVs all day. The level of technical questioning before forwarding a CV is "How is your XXX language" and that's that. Applicants are sorted and pigeon holed into buckets depending on existing role and package, and no more. They have no bargaining power with a client (on either side) as they simply don't understand anything related to the role. Their KPI is how many roles filled, that's all, and when the client gets unhappy they email the GM.

So, in my opinion, it's mixed. But some headhunters really are good. Differentiate yourself, make yourself special, then the good headhunters will seek you out.
It's also notable that service worker adoption is only half way at best, whereas appcache is easier to deploy and supported in far more browsers.

This may be illegal under sovereign immunity, though they could attempt to sue a county or municipality.

In Florida, a long-contested issue over red light cameras resulted in a judgement that having their tickets contested in special City Hall hearings, rather than through state traffic laws, was illegal. If a similar case is happening here, they could attempt that lawsuit, and if they win, then attempt their class-action.

You also have to get around statute of limitations and notice of claim limits for new york, not to mention shared liability. Remember: New York City parking violation tickets can be disputed as defective without going to court. You can even request an online hearing! So a court may throw out any argument that a class-action lawsuit might claim that it was unreasonable for _all_ of those people to be unable to file a dispute.

Yes, of course. I'm in Europe myself. However if you're a company trying to make money I see $9/mo as a fair price for what GitHub offers, pretty much anywhere.

And if it's really a lot of money then there is plenty of free software that can solve the same set of problems, you just have to install/configure/maintain/modify it yourself. Which should be a reasonable option if $9/person/month is a lot of money where you are.

(I get that for some people obtaining the $9 is difficult because they work for highly dysfunctional organizations, but that still doesn't make it an unreasonable fee.)

In theory lab on chip testing may reduce costs greatly, yes.

That of course will reduce their valuation greatly(because people hate vein-puncture, so no frequent blood testing scenarios), but the cheap price could be very valuable to third world countries.

But again, that's just theory.

Based on what I saw at CES this year and some other automotive tech conferences and demos, I would say Google is 1-2 years ahead of everyone else with their automated driving capabilities. Not a huge lead, but they have far more data to use for training and far more cars in the wild than any OEM. Most competitors have a few cars that they field test occasionally and trot out for press events.

What's interesting to me is that the technology gap seems to be closing with the rapid advancement of sensors and embedded processors, and more standardized approaches to computer vision, machine learning, etc. making their way into automotive applications. Volvo is obviously taking advantage of this in a great way.

To understand where the Dalai Lama is coming from, you should understand the states of transition that Buddhists identify as the relationship between the physical world and consciousness. These are sometimes called the five aggregates. I can give you my perspective on that concept from what I know, but it's going to be different from his of course.

The first aggregate is the physical form. This is translated into a good or bad feeling. Next comes a perception of whether or not the thing is familiar. This then becomes a mental formation of emotions and ideas triggered by the thing. Lastly, integrates into consciousness.

So in the Buddhist understanding, which is based on people's experiences in meditation, a positive or negative judgment comes before something is even recognized, so there's a separation between judgment and emotional reaction.

Calmly sitting back and looking at what is happening is meant to bring awareness past the final point of consciousness when judgments and emotions have already been formed, closer to the source. A little bit like taking a tour of the farm and soup factory to see where your food came from before it got processed and put in a can.

So if you're especially good at it, you should be able to see past that judgment and filtering process that your mind does with information, not ignoring it but just being aware of the filters that exist.

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but what I'm getting at is that most Buddhists are interested in breaking down this process that leads from external stimulation to a conscious perception and tend to view emotions and judgments as steps in processing. He's comparing his understanding gained through a lot of internal analysis of these steps in processing to the scientific understanding of how it happens.

The concern here is that even after recovery from the compromise, the site could then never use the name "parallax-plugin.js" again, because a browser might have the cached malware under that name instead of the correct version.
I think it comes down to a question of measurement. Now, of course you're going to find a lot more programmers now because computers are ubiquitous and CS is a hot major. But one way to think about it is what is the ratio of users that can program their computers to the ratio of pure end-users. I think its orders of magnitude lower now. You could argue that because we have all these fancy apps now and we don't need to program our computers but I believe people don't get a fraction of the computing power they can or need from their devices. This is evident by the recent trend in bots and "workflow" applications (e.g. Microsoft Flow, IFTT, etc). People want a lot more from their machines. And apps are a single-purpose, crude way of doing computing. The way you get the most out of your computer is that you program it.

Looking at it from this lens -- I don't the barriers are lower. Most kids' first interaction with computers now are through smartphones and tablets. And the separation between using these things and actually programming them can't be further away.

Removing filler words from normal speech gives you clearer speech, not a sermon. Orators use far more tricks than avoiding filler. They speak loudly with exaggerated tones. They exude emotion. Oration is a performance, and for most people it does not come naturally.

It's easy to see the difference with examples. A good example of clear speech is Sam Harris. Even when debating contentious topics, he speaks in calm paragraphs.[1] I could imagine Harris behaving the same in a one-on-one conversation. Contrast that to his opponent, William Lane Craig.[2] If Craig spoke that way in my living room, he would appear insane.

Avoiding filler is necessary for oration, but it's not remotely sufficient. I think this app will improve people's ability to communicate, not bloviate.

Reddit’s Ad Push: Two Steps Forward, One Back
Snapchat got social vlogging right.

The amount of friction a user goes through to start documenting their life is extremely low, and since the stories get deleted there's no real commitment to be an active vlogger. It's easy to see why Justin is so active on it.

It's a powerful platform that an entire generation uses, and it seems like the applicants will still go through formal interviews. So it's simply a way to bring attention to YC.

Would a YouTube video pitch 10 years ago be silly?

Would applying over email in 1995 be silly?

Maybe back then, but think about how applying to incubators is done now.

Maybe Snapchat will never reach the level of popularity of either of those, but it never hurts to experiment, because it's experimentation that turned YC into one of the top incubators.
Not sure why you got downvoted. While I think the number of cars sold will decrease, I don't think it will be by very much. The biggest problem is that most people go to work and go home at roughly the same times during the day, so realistically you can't have more than maybe 2-3 people sharing a car if they're both employed. Yes, some fraction of a city's residents work non-standard hours, but the majority are on something close to a 9-5 schedule.

Also keep in mind that while the number of cars sold might go down, it's also fairly likely that the margin on each car will go up, and the total number of miles driven will go up as well. Basically when you take the unwanted part of driving out of the equation (sitting in traffic wasting time) and don't need driver attention anymore, you can start adding all kinds of value-add features to vehicles like giant in-vehicle displays or massage chairs. And if you can do whatever you want while on the road, longer commutes aren't so bad, so it's easy to put more miles on a car in a year, which means more replacement parts, service visits, etc. over time.

The market will no doubt change significantly, but existing OEMs are by no means going to be excluded entirely.

First, no one expect automation to be perfect, but people do have a reasonable expectation of it being much better than an average human driver. Most accidents (in good weather conditions) happen when drivers are distracted, tired or sick. This does not apply to an automated system, and even when something goes wrong the system should go into a fail-safe mode (in this case - stop).

Second, "at least as good as the average human" is a bad benchmark. Not because an average human is so bad at driving, but because people make high-level judgements about acceptable risks. For example, you are much, much less likely to dent your bosses Porch than some random car. AI is equally likely to hit either.

Oddly enough, your statements are directly contradicted by the story. It was under a monopoly -- a national monoply, regulated closely by the federal government -- that the system was, in this case, far better:

"AT&T was the exclusive service provider in the industry, and costs for inmates were comparable for similar services outside. But in the 1980s, an antitrust agreement pulled the Bell System apart. Meanwhile, America’s incarceration rate was booming, driven by the war on drugs and more stringent sentencing guidelines.

"With AT&T in pieces, upstart phone providers saw dollar signs in the bevy of new "customers" waiting to be served. First, other major telecommunications companies, such as MCI and Sprint, moved in. Then came the specialists — dedicated outfits, like Pay Tel Communications and Global TelLink, willing to appeal to the specific needs of the corrections industry. Providing communications to a literally captive audience was highly profitable, and as these companies grew, they popularized a new kind of contract with local governments. These agreements hinged on an idea formally known as the "site commission contract," though critics often describe them using another word: kickback."

"Free market" doesn't by itself sprinkle Magickal Pixiy Duste over all problems and make them go away.

Seriously, imagine an episode of Star Trek where the computer hears the captain asking the engineer a question about the self-destruct sequence, and the computer hears the magic words "self-destruct sequence" and pops up a dialog box on a nearby console saying, "Self-destruct sequence activated. Press CANCEL to cancel." Well guess what, nobody expected the computer to activate the self-destruct sequence just because someone happened to mention it, so no one was looking at the console, so no one canceled it, so the ship blew up.
