Disposable Diapers are the most technically advanced thing that mankind has ever produced. Before becoming a parent, I used to wonder why we as a civilization have never sent a manned mission to Mars, cured Cancer, or invented a working Hoverboard. Now I understand where all of our Engineering resources went instead.

We used Cloth diapers for a while with kid #1, and they are in fact amazing at what they do, given what they're made of. But they can't hold fourteen gallons of urine for an entire weekend, so it doesn't matter.

I console myself by envisioning a future society threatened with imminent destruction, saving itself by mining the landfills of the 21st century for large quantities of highly absorbent material and perfectly preserved infant urine.

The planet is saved. Thanks, Disposable Diapers.
It's been reduced to $5M after 1 week[0]. Also, if you are buying, you're buying the lot, not the house. A 10,000 ft lot zoned for housing. (and a small old house you need to get rid off, which therefore actually has negative value)

For standard RST tables I use vim-table-mode (https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode) which is fantastic as it automates RST or markdown tables.

There are some other RST table types:

a. List table:
Pretty simple to use (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html...)

b. CSV table
Supposed to be used for CSV imports I guess but I've never used it (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html...)

Somehow in 18 years and billions of dollars of revenue, Google has not figured out another way to make real money.
There is no way that $195k ($180k + $15k) is the top 1bps of wage earners at 26. That's pretty comparable to, if not less than, what you could expect in tech at that age. This is ignoring finance, small business owners, etc.

Those deep structure may be active, but reading was never in their design documentation. Our brains evolved to what they are today long before reading was a thing. The fact that we read so well is probably a hacked-together scheme tying together structures meant for pattern recognition and speech.

I see reading much like swimming. None of us can swim without practice, as none of us can read. The scary thing is that even the best of us can only swim about as well as the average dog. So pity us on the day we find a creature actually designed for reading.

Check out the mania (and enormous $$$) around sports and sports figures, actors, and musicians. I can't recall a nerd ever getting an endorsement contract. The only nerd prize is the Nobel; the Oscars, Emmys, Grammies, Halls of Fame, Heisemann Trophies, etc., are for other professions.

> Doesn't it mean that most of these videos are watched with subtitles?

No, it means they're not actually watched at all. Facebook autoplays videos (without sound) when you scroll through your timeline. If you get distracted and stop scrolling and 10 seconds play, they count that as a "play".
I think the way to get the best out of people is not to pander to them to make them the happiest people but to expect high standards from them, to expect everyone to give their best, work well and hard and be proud of what they do. Work/life balance is important so don't expect more than working hours but demand the absolute best from people.

Ask them "how do we get the best from you? When do you do your hardest and best work, how do we tap into that?". Tell them it's what you expect of them so they need to turn on their A game.

Pay people more than market rate.

Work is satisfying if you give it your best and do something worthwhile and challenging and hard.

Television is always slow paced, because it has to be comprehensible to people with a wide variety of language skills. Youtube, and most other video player software, has a speed setting with pitch correction. I watch everything at 1.5x speed which brings standard TV slow pacing up to natural fast-paced conversation speed. The majority of people here should have no problems understanding 1.5x speed. I don't watch live TV because 1x speed is too annoyingly slow.
It's not faster. It's not even AS fast.

Switzerland seems like a good idea on face value. Vitalik resides there and they have a legal foundation there in control of some resources. Switzerland is a rich Western European country with a strong legal system. Don't compare it with "offshore firms".

What liabilities the Ethereum Foundation have for the DAO is far from clear, but they work close enough with it coordinate the vulnerability and make changes to the underlying software specifically to handle this case.

When I went to university (sometime in the 18th Century) the idea was not vocational training but "learning to think" - at least that's what I was told. Most of my courses had underlying principles that if had attended lectures or worked hard I probably would have picked up. And I would assume the same is true of a top law degree - you may not be a lawyer, but fast thinking hard working articulate graduates are valuable whatever.

Text is an efficient medium to express something complex. But the average facebook user is not expressing something complex. He shares quick reactions, emotions, stuff that trigger anger or fun. Not things that requires deep analysis.

For that, video is perfect.

So in the context of Facebook, it makes sense. In the context of ads, it makes sense.

Yes, we don't want to believe it because it sounds like hell to people reading HN religiously, where text is kind, where people debate, where people don't use smileys, and where ideas get evaluated.

But that's not what Facebook is for. And that's not what the people on Facebook want.
> Can we please get over this idea that founders conjure jobs out of thin air. Startups and the jobs they create fill a niche in the economy. That niche is the product of the wider world, not the whim of a founder.

Sure, but practically if not letting a founder enter the country and create a startup means those jobs won't happen, then how does it change the argument for more startup-friendly immigration at all? Are you saying that enough startups with immigrating founders are removing jobs elsewhere like Uber to make it a net negative?

> There are already other visa categories for such things (EB-5).

How about for the foreign founders who don't have $1mm to throw around? I can't say I have data on this, but I suspect $1mm of funds/founder is not reasonable for a lot of startups.

I saw the title and instantly clicked on it. It's a refreshing view on leadership. The best quote come right at the beginning: "We are chasing a mood and mood is not a realiable method of delivery". Very intriguing but frankly the rest of her talk is tedious and full of rambling without making more strong points. Would have preferred just a short blog post on her views. The things she said are valid and if you as a leader just rely on making the team happy you won't succeed. Still she doesn't provide any fool-proof solution except being more transparent. I didn't see the last third of the video, so maybe she provided more help then.

I think a big part of being a leader is to frame situtations always, really always in a positive way. Every event or incident can be seen in a negative, realistic but also in a positive way, eg seen as a new opportunity. Latter is much more motivating and eventually makes people happy. Also you as a leader want to be in a positive environment where people are happy, otherwise you end up just being a dull delegating robot degrading socially which is btw the biggest risk of being in executive positioms. So just ignoring this mood called happiness sounds a bit too simple for my taste. Leaderhship is way more complex. Especially in engineering where creatvity is the key you don't want people who just function you need people who can and want to go to the max--and this only works if they are motivated--or just call it--'happy'.

However, I still think she addressed an important point but I would tackle this from a different perspective: What you need as a leader are individuals which are happy by nature--or to be more precise who do not suffer of a severe depression. If you have depressive people on your team, you can't make them happy or motivated. They will always find something which doesn't work, which hinders them, which makes their entire life miserable. And not relying on making them happy, won't let them be productive neither. So, what's the point? Moreover, you risk that they infect the entire team with their negativity. How to identify or avoid having depressive people is a different question and even more challenging. And also important, you as a leader can trigger depression if you are not careful, so even if the claim 'team happiness can be the wrong thing to aim for' would be true, a leader should still aim for not making the team unhappy. And to go further the leader should aim for giving the team a perspective, a trending one. A persepctive which let them grow. Then they should be happy and again: maybe we still should aim for happiness and her talk title was just a click- or view-bait.
Much of this article focuses on the applicability of H-1B visa for startup founders. As some comments in this thread share their anecdotal experiences with it, H-1B is very limited in scope.

1.) H-1B relies on a lottery system: with a 0.3 to 0.5 chance depending on some factors,

2.) and you need an independent board of directors,

3.) and you can't be a majority stakeholder.

Not to mention once you get one, if your startup goes to ground, you have a month to find another job or risk being deported. Most startup founders in early life can't afford this.

What US needs is a robust startup visa: Startup founders that have x revenue or investment $$ can come in and work, not H-1B or other diversity visa hacks. It's not so hard, Canada has a pretty decent startup visa program.

How much Facebook browsing is done discreetly in school, at work, in meetings, on public transport, when waiting for someone? Will video work in these situations? I doubt they'll be able to replace their current text with video.

It sounds more to me like they're looking at the bigger ad dollars YouTube is getting and want to absorb their market.

The only way for Facebook to grow now is to get out of the "friends and family" market and take over Twitter and YouTube's "celebrity/popular people" market. It seems like this could be a difficult pivot.

I reckon if Facebook would add search to WhatsApp, it could hurt Google's ad income quite a bit.

Right now you have to close WhatsApp to start a search. And then come back when you have found the answer.

> The 32K back distance just limits how far back to use the duplicate data from the current cursor. It doesn't really limit the block size.

Yes, which is a problem because the huffman encoding tree is at the begiing of the block (I believe). except for that, for LZ77 I believe it doesn't really matter when the block begins, because the deduplication is based on prior occurrences (within 32k), so as long as you have that prior 32k, the relative distance to the original should be within the data you have.

> The last I looked, it's really difficult to find the boundary of a Huffman block since the Huffman alphabet code is not on 8-bit boundary. Walking the bits to find the end code symbol is basically decompressing the whole block.

Yes, which is why I was talking about how the gzipping is done (usually by tar itself), and how files are added. If it's all one big block, or blocks of set size, that would be useful to know.

> Tar doesn't compress data.

At one point that was true. Then they added flags to tar to allow tar to handle the compression at the same time. At this point, I would hazard most tar.gz files are compressed by tar itself using zlib.

> It just pipes the archiving data to gzip for on the fly compression.

Yes, but since it's all internal to the program, they have control oh how they do that. It's entirely possible (if somewhat unlikely) that tar by default compresses using a deflate stream and chunks it in specific maximum size blocks, or one large block. The question then is, when appending a file to a compressed archive through tar and letting it handle the compression steps, what does it look like? Is it an added deflate stream block (which seems easiest)?

> Adding an index table for file metadata at the end of the archive is a good idea, but then that's what zip does, so might as well use that. That's why we end up with two popular formats: gzip for streaming, zip for random access.

Well, I would say we ended up with two popular formats because tar preexisted zip be a decade, and tar works well with UNIX files while zip had some problems (initially). I'm not sure if zip files currently support some of the more esoteric UNIX file types (sockets, devices). I assume they worked that out when they got UNIX permissions working correctly. Unfortunately, since the headers are uncompressed, you end up with a bunch of separate compression chunks, which isn't efficient for lots of small files.
KeePass doesn't do auto-updating either, fwiw.

This is how all traditional game financing deals work and isn't anything unusual. How the recoupment on the advance on royalties is calculated is where you can usually see if the deal is generous or not. Sometimes the entity funding (in the old days it would always be a publisher like EA) would try to set recoupment terms that made it difficult to ever earn a royalty for the developer taking the advance.
I don't see FB/G as direct competitors.

Google is good to sell products that are actively searched for.

People go to Facebook when they are bored. Facebook is great to sell products to people who are bored (various forms of entertainment products and services). It's also good to sell stuff people aren't actively searching.

So, depending on the product/service you are offering you can pick a different channel to reach your customers. There's no one-size-fits-all solution.
