10Stories was rejected 3 times in the last year. We ended up joining TrackMaven about a month ago and are building our product with them.

Strictly speaking, 10Stories isn't a going concern, but TrackMaven Attribution certainly is. We didn't go forward on the acquisition because we ran out of money. Quite the opposite: we had seen enough traction that the acquisition offer from TrackMaven effectively got us through accelerator + seed round. So we decided to skip the 6 months of dancing around and go right to the part where we are hiring a team and getting early users from the TrackMaven customer base.

We're only 1 month in, but this was clearly the faster path to market. Maybe it could have gone as quickly with YC -- who knows?

> This destabilizes the local economy, creating gentrified districts or entire cities(See: SF)

So paying people more and giving them jobs destabilizes the local economy because these people now have money and spend more on housing and other items? And if they're paid less, they're being exploited?

> The skilled workers hired by the foreign economy become a brain drain - the government has invested resources into their education, but no one in the local economy can afford them, thus they'll never create goods for it to improve local technology levels.

Doesn't the government prefer rich denizens and a higher tax base? Isn't this how education is funded and higher salaries and tax base partially the point of investing in education?

> but no one in the local economy can afford them, thus they'll never create goods for it to improve local technology levels.

Post author (and noob cliche printer) here. I am, in fact, interested in virtualizing the end product, for tasks ranging from closer analysis, virtual restoration, computer vision work (see links in the post and elsewhere on my site) and conceivably, for reproduction by a 3d printer or industrial prototyper. However, we do already have cheap, robust and high-quality methods of making a printing surface from a printed impression or artwork, notably photo-etching in metal or polymer. So I am not sure what 3d printing would give you apart from the satisfaction of closing the circuit.. but it's on my list of things to try, alongside stereotyping with papier mache.
Since the article is very light on real details or reporting, I'll post a bit from the original WSJ article.

Chan Zuckerberg is specifically leading a $24M Series B Round in Andela.

Andela was founded in 2014 and has about 200 developers currently studying with them. There are about 50 mentors working to teach those developers full-time. It has rejected almost all of the applicants; about 40,000 people applied, which means only about 0.5% are actually accepted to study. Those who are accepted to study become "Andela fellows" and learn web and mobile development over four years.

According to Andela, they'd like to train 100,000 developers over the next ten years. They are hopeful they can do this with the African population, 60% of which consists of younger people under the age of 25, many of whom are unemployed or underemployed. Andela's clients pay "about half the annual salary for entry-level developers in major U.S. tech markets." With no specific numbers to go on, it's hard to estimate that. Maybe $50k - $60k? Apparently Microsoft is a client company.

It appears Andela will mostly use this cash infusion to expand into new African companies and scale up.

Could we kill this story or change the URL to the much better WSJ article? I don't understand why this is on the front page. The article has almost no detail or substance. As it stands, it's just flamebait that's getting the usual "Zuckerberg is evil" vitriol. I've never seen a messageboard triggered more easily than HN is when his name or company is brought up.

I'd also like to propose to the HN community that we be a bit more accepting of paywall URLs, because the difference between this CNET, ad-ridden article and the WSJ article (and the possible discussion opportunity around each) is huge.
It doesn't. It's just more convenient to use, and we took the opportunity to make people aware of the existing `--exec` feature.

That's really unfortunate and naive. Not everything, particularly the subtle dynamics of human interaction, can be succinctly distilled into an abstract-style paragraph. Oftentimes it takes great writing skill to set right perspective, context, and background for the information to make sense or "click" - perspective which I find to be more valuable than the raw "information" or study results.

Storytelling is sometimes the only way to properly convey information.

>Development wise, we test for Edge ocasionally and so far we haven't come across Edge-specific quirks like the good ol' days of IE.

Edge is simply expansive to test for, because at the places where i worked the only windows laptops (that are locked down like Azkaban for obvious reasons) around were those of the sales people. Majority of the developers on linux, where the designers are on macs.

Unless it is actively formalized, Edge ends up not getting a lot of testing with anything we make.
I've heard that too, I remember a story from a worker who said they put all the Engineers into a room and said they can't leave until an issue was fixed. Took them two days.
I hope to one day push the highlighting inside of git itself. That should make it more efficient, and we can do a true LCS diff to find the common parts, rather than the front/back heuristic it currently does (see the diff-highlight README for the gory details).

It's just a little complicated because of the way it interacts with existing internal diff features (in particular the whitespace-error highlighting).
A good sign of commitment by Google to their Zurich office - recently the Swiss papers had stories of Google looking towards building their London office, due to limitations in acquiring work permits for staff in Switzerand. This news somewhat contradicts it; Zurich really is an attractive location for talent to flock toward.

Nothing! (Except I doubt I can manually get it all done in 5 minutes =) ) Thanks for your great article.

We just ended up adapting your approach with a couple modifications (like 2FA) and extending it to be more of a primer and explain the steps a bit more so that the younger engineers understood what each step performed was doing. I found myself pointing them to your article, but then having to explain what was being performed and it's purpose (not a bad thing - just different audience).

As has been mentioned, in the real world, an Ansible Playbook should be performing these, but teach a man to fish, etc...

I think it's interesting to note Marissa took over in July 2012, since then the stock price rose by 140%. During that same time Google did 152%, Microsoft did 75% and Apple did 15%.

Of course this is only a small part of the story, but at the end of the day she works for the owners of the company, the shareholders, and they care about their share price. They've done quite well compared to others, under her leadership.

Am I excited about Yahoo, or would I invest, or do I think it's a well run company? Nonono. But there's a narrative that Marissa's doing a terrible job, and contextualised by a declining trend for at least half a decade prior to her joining the company, and shareholders faring quite well so far, I'd say it's nowhere as bad as people think.

One of the other things the new locks do is try to save water. The lake at the center of Panama is at a higher elevation than the ocean on either side - each time the locks are cycled water flows from the lake to the oceans.

The water in the lake is only refilled during Panama's rainy season, and drought conditions in recent years have on occasion made it necessary to put restrictions on the ships transiting the system.[1]

Those huge basins next to the new locks in the video are a water cycling system. They aim to capture a significant percentage of the water as they cycle the locks and then re-use it, rather than just draining the lakes.

My team at Parse.ly also did a benchmark comparing pykafka (pure Python) to pykafka with the librdkafka C extension enabled. That C module is clearly a huge win for Kafka consumer/producer performance on Python and other dynamic languages.

http://blog.parsely.com/post/3886/pykafka-now/

Unfortunately, as the OP illustrates, there are now 2 widely-used Python + Kafka drivers (pykafka and kafka-python), and as of recently, a third, confluent-kafka-python, which is a thin wrapper over librdkafka.

The reason there's all this fragmentation is because Kafka was quite the moving target for non-JVM languages for the past three years. We have used it in production since Kafka 0.7, so we've had to live through it all blow-by-blow. I'm hoping that with Kafka 0.10 recently released, we can finally unify the community around a single driver (somehow).

Funnily, the FCC requirement is incompatible with the EU laws.

The EU laws say that while a normal user shouldn’t be able to make unlawful transmissions, the manufacturer may NOT prevent the customer from installing alternative software (like openwrt) just to fulfil the first requirement.

Basically, to conform with EU law, you have to violate US law, and the other way round.

One very interesting example I know is Algolia. They first applied when they were very early stage, in 2013 if I'm correct. They got rejected mainly because of their poor ability to track user metrics. Then they re-applied in 2014 and got selected for the Winter batch. Last year they raised $18M after an epic roadshow with all key VCs sending termsheets. My opinion is that YC strongly values your ability to be focused, execute and track/analyze data instead of technology and product/market fit - especially in early stages.
This is why I won't use any third party library that's not available under a MIT/BSD style license (and likewise, when I release source it's always under a very permissive license.)

No. It's medium-sized; and it required a world expert, and it required a lot of effort, and even he had to skip on the termination proofs because they proved too hard/time-consuming, so he just put in a counter and throws a runtime exception if it runs out.

There are different reading modes. The New York Times Magazine in particular caters to people who are sitting down on a quiet day for long reads. It was created specifically to hold pieces longer than appropriate for the normal newspaper.

So here, it definitely doesn't make sense for writers to be as straight-to-the-point as possible. It's like asking for some long, cinematic movie (e.g., Lawrence of Arabia or The Revenant) to be edited down to a 60-second YouTube video. Sure, you could squeeze in the highlights, but it would miss the point.

This was in a rural place in the middle of the Netherlands: 3 times to church on sunday, not allowed anything else on that day but reading the bible. No contraceptives allowed so most families had children until they could not anymore (8-10 children were not strange), learning and reciting bible passages and singing hymns by heart etc during the week and sundays. And yet the very strict grade school got a computer when I was 9-10 (1984) and I was to teach the kids and teachers how to use it. Although they were not even allowed TVs in their houses, the town 'elders' recognized that this was the future of sorts.
Oh my god it began with the oems installing a bunch of spyware on the default install. Many of which with vulnerabilities. Not to mention "modern" OSes not respecting users privacy.

I know all too well how details can prevent otherwise simple solutions. But for the full disk system, a simple solution is to not allocate all the available space, surely it cannot be hard to reserve a little bit such that you will never encounder the full volume issue.

You mention it shortly, and I belive that ZFS was designed for a world where growing existing arrays, reaching 80+% utilization, or using different block sizes all is things that never happen anyway. ZFS could do with a rewrite to allow this, but it would not be ZFS compatible anymore.

But I will not deny that would you describe could be a telltale sign of a development team Apple simply cannot work with. But nothing prevent Apple from forking OpenZFS and work on it in house (perhaps apart from patent issues).
4 Reasons Why a Business Plan Is Important
If you're fine with dynamic linking, then commercial development is still very much possible (though you lose Qt Charts).

The only major pain is that you have to supply a copy of the Qt Source if requested - the pain being that a link to the official repo is not enough, you have to be in control of the code. However, I would imagine if you gave someone the option of (a) downloading from the website or (b) paying postage and handling for a disc with the same thing, that would satisfy the license.
