Are you including your opportunity cost in that assessment of profitability though?

That's by far the bigger expense and dominates the nominal cost of any SaaS or licenses.

It's also what holds me back from developing any side projects: if it takes me 100 hours to build a project, it could take years to earn the $15k of my time I spent building it.

Does that change the fact, that NATO did forcibly take a territory from Serbia? That is supposed to be OK? For all intents and purposes, the Kosovo government will do whatever the US government wants. The terminus technicus is puppet government.

Even Crimea itself is an example of stolen territory. It was part of Russia, until (Ukrainian) Khrushchev moved it under administration of Ukrainian SSR in 1954. It was excused as being in the same country anyway. When USSR dissolved, the Crimean referendum about returning it back to Russia was ignored by the newly-formed government in Kiev.

Bismark knew 150 years ago not to try to cheat the Russians. They will always come and take back, what's theirs.

Trolling does take place, and we need some way to defend against it. A key way is to educate people so they can recognize it. Do you deny that Russian trolls do regularly use this tactic?

>There are ways to word this paragraph...

Could you present an example of this?

You're right, though, that it was somewhat problematic for me to make a semi-accusation against a particular comment. It makes me think what we need is a page describing common Russian troll tactics, and it could be linked to whenever there is a discussion of Russia, and people could decide for themselves if any comment is a troll.

>Do you really think accusations of trolling are really going to result in a more useful discussion?

It's awfully hard to have a useful discussion when trolls are trying to take things over. I need to do some thinking on what might work.

Passion without genuine skill and knowledge is useless. You can be passionate about many things, for example cars, but unless you put in the hours, your passion doesn't mean you will be a great car engineer, or automotive company executive.

[EDIT] Also want to add that people grossly underestimate the responsibility of being their own boss. There are a lot of tasks you have to handle outside of your usual work like finances, scheduling, client outreach, etc...

The OP seemed to understand this, but a lot of people will create a start-up for the sake of being on the creating end of something without really knowing how practical their venture really is.

I always wondered about where that promise went. Do you have a source for your statement?
> I'm wondering if they're getting ready to pardon him, perhaps with a provision like spending 10 years under house arrest or losing his citizenship. I don't think this could happen under Clinton but Obama might issue a last minute pardon as they tend to do when they leave office. Failing that it is possible Trump might do it as a sign of pragmaticism. He's the only one who could sell it to his supporters, the same might be true of Obama for his people.

> Now that time has passed both factions agree it was all inevitable, case of when and not if. That leaves Snowden hanging there as an awkward reminder.

I hope you're right. I am currently thinking about a decidedly unscientific research where they showed "The Colbert Report" to very conservative people (college students? I don't remember the specifics) who had never seen the show before and they thought the persona was real. This is in context with people like the host of NPR's Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me coming on air to say that he might have been living inside a bubble because we got blindsided by Trump's ascendancy.

This is unrelated but I am afraid I might be projecting my own positions and opinions on the candidates. Things like: "Of course, Trump never said bar citizens from entry based on religion". and "Of course, Bernie Sanders understands the issue of wage gap is more nuanced than can be explained in 140 characters https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/736649251799732224 "

Ask HN: Has YC changed it's MO for acceptance?
It's been really interesting looking at the last two posts from the Macro introducing the new YC cohort.
Maybe an issue with the sample size, these could be the most late stage co's in the whole cohort, but these seem to be reasonably well established start-ups with a lot of traction and previous investment.

My question is, is this typical of a YC company now on acceptance?

Links here: "50+ million monthly viewers watch more than half a billion coubs every month." They've raised $3.8 mill already - http://www.themacro.com/articles/2016/05/coub/

and

"Currently, more than 15k broadcasters use Revlo’s platform–with a reach of more than 5 million fans." They've raised $1mill already. http://www.themacro.com/articles/2016/05/revlo/

Note: This isn't about why those companies would go for YC, network, advice etc. arguments make sense.

No not at all. Think for a bit about what the closed form solution of the final generated function is for any of the examples given. Then think of the differential equation that it satisfies (with N boundary conditions for every segment of the partition). There's no way solving that is easier than what is done in the article. Even before doing that, there are plenty of other methods that still aren't as efficient, which was one of the main goals of the algorithm.

That would be wonderful, but i fear it won't come to pass. The Whitehouse won't, and frankly can't.

You can't build a house from the roof, but that's what Agile indirectly makes you do.

And you can't compare software with a house, or even a spaceship :) For one thing, we have far fewer constraints.

When we build software we are (generally, though not in every case) building a solution to a problem rather than a strictly defined product - and in many cases, we are unsure about what the final product will look like! Spotify did a good illustration of this process in this slide: http://www.chrisyin.com/images/spotify-mvp.png - the point is to continuously deliver features to customers and using the feedback generated to inform ongoing development, which like you point out, is absolutely essential in some cases.

, but that's what Agile indirectly makes you do. Although Waterfall is the other dangerous extreme, it makes you think, correctly estimate, and plan.

That's perhaps the idealistic view, but there is a cost there too - change becomes much harder. I also suspect that there is no such thing as a correct estimate!

You can't apply Scrum to every project - especially those with firm deadlines!

Maybe not, and Scrum is not the ideal methodology in all cases - but it's also not the only way to be agile. It's also a fallacy that planning in advance means a project will meet a deadline - let's remember that Scrum doesn't typically mean you are doing different work, just that you are slicing it and delivering it differently. I'd argue that one of the main differences is that if a Scrum-developed project misses it's deadline, you still have a working product - it just doesn't necessarily have all the features you'd like. But if you are correctly building the most important and complex features first, then that's potentially much better than the "waterfall" outcome of "the product isn't complete and can't be used".

can you build a spaceship using Scrum?

I probably wouldn't want to try it, but this is an example of a project with incredibly tight constraints on what can be built - far more than software typically is. But I'd imagine it's also possible to build components of any product in an agile manner.

I still use Gantt charts, and that's another thing that makes people make funny faces in Scrum.

That's great, and it's something that should be encouraged - development methodologies should be determined by what works well for you as a developer, team, or company! A Gannt chart, assuming you are changing it as product requirements change, is basically the same as a Scrum burndown chart with additional planning thrown in. And we do the same sort of thing - "these are the epics, this is how long we estimate they will each take, and here is the order we will do them in." It's not so different.

Ultimately these methodologies are designed to help projects cope with change, which has been a long-term problem in correctly sizing and executing software projects. Maybe they won't always work for every project with particular constraints, but I reckon they are far more applicable than some people believe.

Your arguments against e-vote can be used in regular voting also.

You can take photo of your vote to prove it to 3rd party. Also it is easy to buy votes from poor in regular voting.

For e-voting you can vote 1000 times and when you still feel need to vote 1 more time, then it is possible to use regular voting. E-vote period ends before regular voting.

It all goes to trusting the government. I trust my government and I e-vote.

Same ID-card is used for e-voting, banking & pretty much everything. It would be easier/more profitable to steal money from bank accounts than mess with these small elections.
What a load of BS. He praises him for "raising the debate", but condemns him for "...the way he did it -- was inappropriate and illegal..." then going on to invite him to "Go to trial, try to cut a deal."

The issue has been brought up many times, with no positive change, because there was no massive dump of incredibly embarrassing evidence. All those hoping for some kind of Obama surprise turn around in the unprecedented level of whistleblower prosecution: you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
Yes, this is exactly the sort of things I was thinking of.
Throughout history, it's really surprising how many of the great conspiracies and atrocities have been telegraphed clearly -- if not published openly -- by their perpetrators, far in advance of the actual deeds. No one who read Mein Kampf could have expressed surprise at Hitler's subsequent actions, for instance, and the same is true for other documents up to and including the neoconservatives' PNAC Manifesto.

So don't say you weren't warned if Trump actually does follow through on some of this stuff. There's no real downside to taking him at his word.

I was under the impression that Powell was a man of integrity and really resented being used by the Bush administration to provide justification for the war. I thought he was just regurgitating the lies told to him.

Hi, I will appreciate the guidance of Senior Software Engineers/ Technical Hiring managers, with regards, what makes a good project, one could share with prospective employers, in seeking a Development role.
I have been self learning Python programming, in conjunction with Flask the Python web framework, off and on for about 2 years and will really like to clench a development role. so I set out with the idea of building a CMS system based on Python and Flask, in order to both aggressively push my learning and programming savvy and ultimately clench that dream developer role. What are your thoughts? Too big of a project? have any other projects you might suggest? I will appreciate your feedback
We also seem to forget that most of those countries were part of Hitler's forces that attacked the Soviet Union a few years before that. Small example would be Hungary that sent ~500,000 soldiers to the eastern front. That invasion resulted in ~5 million civilians being killed, let's ignore the military casualties and general destruction.

Every country/nation did all kinds of nasty shit, it's just a matter of how far back you want to look.

It was years before the truth came out.

The big difference between the NYC subway and all other US systems is that it's four-track. Not only is it four-track; there are lots of switches, crossovers, and interlocked signaling to support taking a section of track out of service without affecting traffic much. That's why the system can run 24/7. Almost all maintenance is done without stopping all traffic.

Surprisingly, China's new subways are not generally being built as four-track systems. Nor does Japan have much four-track subway trackage. London Underground is cramped in every dimension - the system is two-track, the tunnel diameter is small, and the platforms are short. London cannot fit any more rolling stock onto their tracks on some lines.
That's still lying under oath.
Many folks looking for a Perlin-like effect end up using the diamond-square(or "midpoint displacement") algorithm, which has a similar look but a somewhat simpler implementation:

For each segment take the midpoint of the linear interpolation and add noise at a smaller magnitude. Recurse in until you are at the desired scale. In 2D, flip the sample points between a "square" pattern and a "diamond" pattern each time to avoid a boxy tiled look.

The biggest downside of this method is that it's much less flexible about scaling: to get more resolution you have to double each dimension.

I must confess that I don't follow this line of reasoning. You're saying that even though Trump said he wants to execute Snowden, Snowden should come back to a Trump-led US anyway because Trump doesn't follow through on a lot of the things he says? Does this really sound like a compelling argument to you?
