It hasn't happened yet, perhaps, but the demographic information I've seen (which, admittedly, is from 2013 and may have changed) shows the iPhone-to-Android ratio monotonically increasing with age, which certainly suggests a risk for that:

I just saw this post. I'm the sole author of ontolo.

As for requirements, they're very low. The machines running the crawler+parser+indexer, which achieve those speeds, are dual Xeon 5639s with 72GB ram. When the indexer isn't running, the crawler and parser use 6 cores, but only "need" 4 of the 24 total on the box. The indexer generally uses very little CPU. All of those cores are actually needed only for queries. So, the limitation on throughput, at this point, is the 1gbps connection to the box. I say 'box' singular, as the 400,000,000/day is per box.

As for maintaining the codebase, it's about 10k lines, plus another 10k of data that's referenced throughout. As I've written everything in the crawler and parser by hand. There are no magic boxes or libraries that it goes into, so debugging is working around only the logic I've constructed, as opposed to someone else's logic.

That said, I've designed it to use as few system resources as possible, unless it would run faster using a uint32_t vs a bit field, for example. If someone else were to begin working with my code, I'm unsure of what that would be like for them. I'd like to believe it's generally straightforward, but I can't say until that happens.

That said, I've also designed it to be easily updated as the way that HTML is written continues to evolve. I know that's a bit hand-wavey, but it's as much as I'm comfortable describing how it works behind the scenes, as no one else I know of (other than common search engines) parses HTML like ontolo does.

If you have any other questions, just let me know. I'll be monitoring this post today.

Two of the big advantages of a modern joint-stock company are: limited financial liability and professional management. Management limits the need for input and activity of the investor. (You don't even need to vote your shares.) Do the members of the DAO want to vote on every little thing?

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Being in Switzerland definitely helps, but still, India being a very big country it wouldn't surprise me if they had some really-bad-guys(TM) mafias capable of hurting people in other countries.

Of course, a small thing like this wouldn't necessarily pop up in their radars but still...

I guess part of the reason I think this way is because I live in a country where this is a real threat. Where posting things that real-bad-guys(TM) don't like can literally get you tortured and killed.
Yup, Tonic is super cool. This is more for presenting data than demoing libraries, but I'd like it to be as useful as possible for many things.

If you save it as an HTML file you can obviously add your own client-side JS. Node packages are a ways off right now though - would need to think about how to do it as it's all client-side.

The data said: This market isn't worth it.

The average consumer probably thinks something along the lines "I have paid a lot of money for this phone. If intel had joined this market then they could have made a lot of money" when in reality intel would have gotten only a few dollars for every sold iPhone. Even if they produced ARM chips themselves and completely replaced Qualcomm they would only make $2.5 billion profit from $18 billion revenue. This is the best case scenario. In reality they probably wouldn't even make $1 billion in profit because of the how competitive the market is.
The Pro line offers considerably beefier processors and graphics chipsets, and more memory, than the Air or just-plain-MacBook lines do.

I don't know what kind of very serious work you're talking about that can't be done at all with less than 150Mbps symmetric, not even for a minute - but in a decade and a half in this industry, I have yet to meet anyone who does it. So I'm willing to surmise that it's a very serious niche specialty, whatever it is.

You'll probably have to sink considerable money into whatever laptop you want to do this kind of very serious work on, but you'll be happy to know that Thunderbolt 2 can handily support 10Gbps, and such interfaces are readily available. Of course, they come at a premium price, but you're getting paid well enough for your very serious work that that doesn't pose you a major problem, I'm sure.

> […] almost all housing in europe is owned like this.

Did you mean social housing rather than housing in general? Because home ownership exceeds 50% in most European countries, just like the US.

Social housing is often managed by cooperatives, but decades of neoliberalist thinking caused a lot of the larger of these cooperatives to invest in boondoggles and grandiose development projects completely unrelated to their core task rather than build more affordable housing. Coupled with the immoral self enrichment of upper management, mentioning European social housing cooperatives may not exactly support the point you are making.

Probably precisely why Buffet is interested in it.
It's directly relevant. If someone in Boston wants nice weather, the places that have nice weather are easy to get to. Not so much for Pittsburg.
You're right; somehow I was reflexively thinking that such a device would have to be be mandatory. But the way you phrase it, it's clear that that wasn't what was being proposed.
According to the screenshot, they are coordinate pairs.
For me, the biggest changes are the syntax sugar... rest, spread, fat-arrow syntax, destructured assignment, etc. The vnext bits I'm most using are async/await, and some of the class/property extensions, and more rest/spread/destructuring extensions. A lot of the other stuff is of less interest to me in writing code, but I can see how they would appeal to others.

Not every piece has to be useful to everyone.
This article was written in 2013.
Traditionally Buffett works with two or three stock brokerage firms he trusts and tells them to buy the stocks he wants. They often just keep buying when blocks come on the market or it looks cheap. That can go on for months or years. Maybe not so much with $1bn of Apple but his $27bn stake in Wells Fargo for example has been built over some years.
I wonder why Philadelphia hasn't even been considered as a start up hub.

Better weather than Pittsburgh, NYC, or Boston

Nothing on par with CMU.... but Upenn, Drexel, and Princeton are in the area. As are a ton of other schools.

Is the DAO a legal entity with recognized agents with authority to enter into contracts on its behalf? If not, how can this possibly work?
Everyone does it in mobile space. At least the big three.

Last year Apple introduced distribution via LLVM bitcode, and Microsoft has been doing it for a while as well, with MSIL being compiled to native at the store servers.

So going forward, iOS, Android and WP can be processor agnostic. Of course there are always some app developers that would rather use Assembly or native code directly, but that is an app specific issue.

What places are you thinking of? I used to live in NE, and can't really think of anywhere within driving distance that features noticeably different or more attractive weather.
Why was the title editorialized by mods?
From your comment, you clearly read neither the article nor the study. I mean, the article states "There's plenty of evidence showing that marijuana use impairs key driving skills. If you get really stoned and then get behind the wheel, you're asking for trouble" and the study itself cites plenty of other studies which have found strong positive associations between marijuana use and driving impairments.

What it actually shows is that for one particular study the increase in crashes resulting from users testing positive for marijuana (i.e. have used up to a week ago) becomes statistically insignificant when controlling for user demographics. It also threw up anomalies like a [statistically insignificant] improvement in drivers under the influence of smaller amounts of alcohol over no alcohol or drugs, so I wouldn't exactly herald it as definitive.

To argue that they "pretty much says it is ok to smoke and drive" is a grotesque distortion of the actual research.
> And it was a small study by a group of graduate students, which seems unlikely to be subject to as much scrutiny as a study officially funded and endorsed by the university

Whether or not this is what happens in practice, the purview of an IRB in the US very much is supposed to cover this situation. IRBs have intentionally broad mandates and cover quite a lot of things that most people would not immediately recognize as 'research' or 'experiments'.

> to raise awareness of the fact that what you put onto the Internet is public.

Most technical people consider 'doxxing' to be bad. However, in most cases, 'doxxing' is simply publicizing information that is already part of the public record[0]. There's a difference, based on the barrier to accessing that information.

[0] If I know your name and your city/state of residence, it's trivial for me to obtain a copy of your driver's license or voting registration information FOIA/FOIL requests typically charge a nominal processing fee to cover the costs of processing the requests, but only because it's a largely manual process, and the marginal costs of requesting many records at once is very low.
I plan to write about this in the near future (in fact I'm writing slides for a talk on it this week) – essentially, codegen is more costly because a) you have to generate the entire program, rather than just modifying the nodes that have changed, b) your code generator needs to know about every single node type, and c) you have to keep track of state (e.g indentation levels).

That's just persistence though. Creepiness takes it to another level: it implies discomfort and fear/anxiety for one's safety/wellbeing. Stalkers are creepy. Overeager salespeople aren't.
Don't feel too bad. Could have been a thief at first that just left it on the sidewalk.
some of the studies linked are have such low n ( ~25) done over short periods of time ( ~ 6 months) .
There are so many other factors that might affect the results. I am having hard time trusting these articles.

How do these researchers come up with the hypothesis in the first place; would be interesting to see what other hypothesis they tested and failed.
The DAO will probably end up being more like a hedge fund / VC firm than a normal corporation. It will more likely invest in other companies than try to execute its own ideas. At least, that is my hope for it, and I think that is the path that makes the most sense.

We will see what the crowd decides.
It'll probably make it into ES2017, given that Edge, Chrome and maybe FF will have it in their browsers by the end of next year, official spec or not. It's a popular feature, and with Promises and generators in place, easy enough to support.

It really does cleanup a lot of code, but getting people to understand that an Async function returns a promise isn't always the easiest thing to convey until after it's been used. I resisted Promises for a while, once it became a part of ES6, and with async/await in Babel, I started using it... the cleaner code is worth the minor bit of overhead.
How does one get over it? I just can't do it. I still have a vengeful hatred of the world and I'm pushing 40. I'm fairly certain that it's this that creeps people out in my case as I'm a solid 8 out of 10 in attractiveness.
I would not. It's an insult.
I don't think that's the case. I think the primary factor is the laws which govern how medical professionals can act - and I think that has more support from the article, and by people's comments.
> There's a reason corporations developed as they did.

Well, the counterargument would be "Because they didn't have computers back then and therefore couldn't develop alternative systems that are better but are impractical to implement manually."
Fundraising is almost always a timesink so you'll need to decide whether it's worth the time and effort versus spending that time on customer acquisition and corporate partnerships. Good press and corporate partnerships will certainly help in raising a new round if you choose to do so. There should be greater investor interest, and if the good press continues while you're raising the round it may help in closing the round. VCs and other investors like to be validated and good press will make it easier to sell partners on the investment.

As an aside, a potential corporate partner could be Benchmark Education. They focus on literacy K-5th grade.
Yes, because the guy has already started feeling the heat.
I just want uber and lyft back. The alternatives are awful. My friends have changed their weekend habits. I tried GetMe but it really sucks. Even the drivers were complaining the software had several bugs about billing, payment and mapping.

I don't think uber and lyft should have left over background checking and fingerprints. Idk which side will acquiesce first, I just hope someone does.

generators and async/await are pretty big pieces missing for me... can't speak for others. And generators are mostly as a path to async/await for me.
It is exciting, and I have mixed feelings.

For instance, there is a lot of new development down along the Strip. I don't see how this won't end up eventually pushing out many of the old-Pittsburgh businesses that make the Strip awesome for everyone, replacing them with higher-end stuff. Rather like how the enormous cobblestone plaza in front of St Stanislaus Church in the Strip was asphalted over since my student days. But I get it, it was uneven, it had an old trolley track, nobody wants to maintain cobblestone.

So yeah, I would like to see Pittsburgh continue to develop, I just hope people are not in a hurry to displace what makes it cool.
I'll just note that a startup of 10 - 100 people that raised $300M over 3-4 years would be a big deal.

Innovation isn't about ideas, its about finding ways to execute against those ideas in a way that others haven't or ideally can't.
Definitely. Remember that startups include the hugely successful ones. If Google and Facebook had been started in Spain instead of the US, do you think Spain would have more jobs now?
But Google+ already has a feature like Facebook Groups, called Communities. It actually has a few more features like separate categories for posts.

I'm not sure how Google Spaces is different from Google+ Communities, this is confusing
A BAC of 0.04 is measurably impaired though. Mostly in terms of higher brain functions and reaction times making it both less obvious and often within a persons 'normal' range.

Something to remember is people generally drink late in the day. So, the accident statistics mix drinking and tired data. Tired driving makes things far worse, but it's hard to test for as accidents and being pulled over both tend to wake people up. Pot on the other hand is more often a daytime drug which is going to mess with the statistics.

No requirement for audited financials, only reviewed financials by a CPA. Which makes this stuff all the more risky.
PG, Jeff Atwood, various others; at some point they all start believing their own hype and become actors playing themselves.
The weather doesn't matter.

Pittsburgh is a perfectly fine place to take an idea and create a business around it. There is access to talent, office space, manufacturing space, vendors, services, customers, and other industries. It ALSO has an airport, internet access, roads, electricity and running water. All of these are relatively low in cost as is real-estate if you want to live in a house.

What might be an issue is getting regular visitations from VC's. VC's don't have much presence there, but will fly in if sufficiently motivated. That said if you don't need regular meetings with VC's... Pittsburgh is pretty awesome.

At some point, people have to start wondering how miraculous it is that start-ups can deign to exist in such a comically expensive place as the Bay area.

This is ghoulish. I'm sorry you had to go through that, and it honestly makes me terrified of having to deal with it when my parents pass someday - my father has already had a stroke, and told me he does not want to go through it again, that he would rather be taken off life support and be allowed to pass peacefully. I can't even imagine having to watch someone I cared for starve to death in front of me.
As a shareholder, I welcome the competition. :)

Also interestingly: Bain Capital is in the running. In the past, Yahoo has used Bain Capital as consultants to reorg, restructure, etc. It would almost seem like a conflict of interest, since they are acutely familiar with the innards of Yahoo.

Edit: as /u/mcmoose75 mentions below, "Bain Capital" and "Bain Consulting" (the one I was thinking of) are two separate entities.

The social justice warrior part was brought up by the grad student in question. I'd argue that it was he who attempted to turn an isolated act of bad judgement into a political statement. I am, in response, stating that people who think in terms of labeling others as social justice warriors tend to have shitty politics.
I disagree. People were given a chance to express their opinion. If they cared enough, they should have voted. While that I don't necessarily agree with the ban, it's very important to note that the decision didn't happen in a closed door meeting.

It could be argued that these sort of regulations are not needed at all in the first place - as long as companies are transparent about it and people can vote with their wallets. However, there is a line. Where that line is drawn is decided by the society. I'd be happy as long as that decision is transparent.

Democracy is by no means perfect - transparency and an involved populace would make it work better. If either is found lacking, we should try to make it better.
I'm not sure if Intel's process lead is what it once was. For the last year or so Samsung have been shipping phones that use their own 14nm FinFET process, very similar on paper to Intel's best. It's entirely possible that Samsung will actually beat Intel to 10nm.

Maybe this is my Northwestern showing but as a (nearly)lifer of the Pacific Northwest, I can honestly say that if I see someone walking, I assume they're out for a walk even when I lived in a town of 2500. I imagine this is the privilege of living somewhere known for natural beauty because I think "Why wouldn't you want to be outside?"

It's fascinating to read about inherent fear of being questioned. I don't think its ever crossed my mind, and its not uncommon to see cars parked along side random roads all through Oregon and Washington. I guess I'm lucky in this regard.
Your snark aside (c'mon, man), that doesn't even come close to answering the question of, "why is it not okay?"

Another issue would be if Company X donated all the resources to run the project, they could theoretically try and influence the project in certain ways.
