The funny thing about these pop "fallacies" is that they're often perfectly reasonable explanations. They're not necessarily fallacious and thus shouldn't be labeled "fallacies".

It seems that someone put a bunch of common explanations on a web page and stuck the word "fallacy" after all of them so that they could use it to try to win arguments with easily-intimidated persons.

Ask HN: What would a LinkedIn competitor look like now?
I saw this tweet by Sundeep Peechu (https://twitter.com/speechu/status/742365425380384770) and was curious why he thinks that now is a great time to start a competitor as well as what the competitor would focus on.

Does anyone here have any thoughts on this that they would care to share?

Yea they definitely aren't as popular as YC or techstars but they have a pretty impressive portfolio on startups they invested in. I like the fact that they have industry specific programs. I can only speak for the retail program because that's the one I applied to but they invite executives from the largest retailers around and get a chance to network and close sales.
Your criticism isn't internally consistent. For the sake of argument, let's say that racism is quantifiable. It probably isn't, but saying people get more or less racist pretty much implied that it is, so just run with it for a second. Say that after moving to DC, everyone's racism level gradually moves towards 75. That obviously means it's about DC, not the people. But some people started at 30 and some people started at 90. So some people get less racist and some get more racist.
Either it's your code, in which case why don't you know what type of object you are passing, or it's a documented part of a framework or something.

With polymorphism and inheritance in the mainstream languages, the method signature still doesn't exactly tell you what you are going to get, so you have all of the pain of micromanaging type annotations and you still don't really get an invariant.

Also, Python has function annotations if your purpose is to document the signature without using docstrings. I'm unsure why you don't mention these because they are exactly analogous to what you say is straightforward.
As long as you feel you have a shot, keep going. Better to have tried and failed than live with regret. But knowing when to quit is also a virtue. :)
I don't know about your city, but where I am I would struggle to find "a local restaurant that serves real food" for even 50% more than McD's. Probably 100%, if I'm going to limit it to within a block or two of where a McD's is. In a lot of places, chain restaurants are the cheapest and most reliable way to get something edible.

A theoretical security vulnerability isn't really a think - it's just a bug. Either it's exploitable, and thus a security vulnerability, or it's a bug and isn't,
On the flip side, they aren't charging an arm and a leg for the 64gb, which is quite a bit of storage, though a microsd would be a nice addition. As to the removable battery, if it's serviceable enough, shouldn't be too bad. The backplate on the OPO wasn't bad at all, ordered the bamboo back separately and was easy enough to install.

Dropbox is the one service that I just can't replace. Nothing comes close to the ease of revisions/version control, restore, and sync.

Basically, with Moore's Law coming to the asymptote of its sigmoid, we're turning the Wheel of Reincarnation again towards specialized domain-specific hardware (http://www.retrologic.com/jargon/W/wheel-of-reincarnation.ht...) and software systems distributed over multiple specialized pieces of hardware.

Since I work somewhere that basically makes custom ASICs, this is very nice for us and our ecosystem.

>(11) Finally, also due to #5 ASICs will get cheaper to make. Expect to see more of them, especially since it will now make sense to make an ASIC to speed up an algorithm as you can no longer just wait on Moore's Law to give you that speed for free. You'll see AI ASICs, crypto ASICs, graphics ASICS, data compression ASICs, even language specific 'accelerator' ASICs like JavaScript coprocessors, etc. With OSS core chip designs these could easily get bolted on, leading to weird custom cores like a "JavaScript optimized OpenRISC white label CPU."

There are a couple of intermediate steps here:

9') FPGAs are pushed to get cheaper and more powerful.

10') Tooling improves drastically for FPGAs and ASIC development. Currently, that tooling is decades behind software development.

10'') A combination of 9' and 10' enables a thriving ecosystem of writing algorithms in hardware, sharing the hardware designs around, and everyone deploying to racks of FPGAs when they can't afford full-blown ASIC production.
Is an ORE scheme implying that if you have some key, you have an efficient algorithm to sort through the plaintexts of a set of ciphertext. That would be faster than decrypting them and comparing them all.

> Having the pointer "doing double-duty as a pointer and a counter" reduces the potential for bugs. If you do otherwise, then you have more variables to think about and they could get out of sync.

If you're just adding 1 to both each time then it's pretty hard to get that wrong. I think storing the original pointer and subtracting at the end has more potential to go wrong.

> I probably don't really get what you're looking for with the continuation stuff. Wikipedia compares it to setjmp/longjmp and goto, which doesn't sound too nice.

It's not well-explained - the terminology is arcane, people use the word to mean different things. But done right it can give you the performance and flexibility of goto but with the clarity of regular function calls, and all your control constructs can just be library functions.

> It's hard to get excited about learning to understand something that is associated with really slow programming languages.

Shrug. Almost all programming languages are fast enough these days. Correctness is often much more of an issue.

> Being "able to create a function at runtime" is normally incompatible with having a small high-performance runtime. In C you have a choice: fake it, or do things the awesome way. You can fake it with macros, possibly including ones that expand out to define functions. The awesome way is to JIT, and yes I've done this: allocate a chunk of memory, write out some binary instruction code, deal with any permissions/cache/pipeline issues, and then call it as a function or use a bit of inline assembly to reach it. Oh, there is another way that might be more your style: create C code on-the-fly, feed it into the compiler to generate a library, dlopen the library, and call your new function.

I don't need anything that complicated. Just the ability to partially apply a function would do. Or even ordinary classes. Which I mean sure, I can emulate by passing a struct consisting of a function pointer and the first argument as data, but that's going to be awful to read.
> They are certainly not

So what's your understanding of those terms? Mine is identical to that of treehau5.
That's what I thought, too. Chef (software/ecosystem) needs a bit more love IMHO.

However it shows that Chef (Company) is still able to design, build and ship a new product, as an organization. That's a very positive sign. Until recently I thought when comparing Chef with Hashicorp: Hashicorp is so much faster in building and releasing usable stuff but they seem to feel the pain in growing too fast and too broad in terms of products.

So, in the end: It's a great thing, just also don't forget to put more love into Chef (software) and don't dissipate developers/time/budget :)
It's easy to keep clean nowadays now that, for most hours of the day, nothing but fries are actually cooked in real time -- just reheated and assembled.

It's not like the old days, where you could get any sandwich fresh as a custom order, and otherwise a maximum of 10 minutes post-wrap hold time.

Oddly, several Jack-in-the-Boxes here are the most clean, with Carl's Jr. being worst -- a complete inversion from 20 years ago.
No, for their "Jaldi" font they simply use:

font-family: "Jaldi script=latin rev=2"

However, they are replacing what they think is a missing glyph with an image. For example, if I type the letter "r" while keeping the DOM inspector open, I see the text node containing the letter for a moment before it is replaced with an image element:

<img class="content-editable-missing" data-missing-character="r" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==">

Sadly, there's never a guarantee. But it doesn't seem like they're looking for an exit strategy, which is reassuring.
DNS query is free because someone pays for the domain registration and your DNS queries(DNS queries/servers cost too). I can see how What3Words could charge the address owner a fee for its address to be licensed publicly just like the domain registration publishes your NS records as long as the maintenance fee is paid.
Tbh I must admit that they are slightly different scenarios because the domain name registration is slightly distributed but my point is that public DNS/Domain registration is neither free nor open. They are controlled by various entities/corporations so they are not the best examples.
The main reason to keep it are: 1) network 2) what if we uncover a faster cpu/mem ? We would need to reintroduce file-systems. I'd say it's safe to deprecate it after about 30 years after it become obsolete. (So we are sure nothing will surpass it any time soon.)
Sorry, I've never seen a "community center" and have no idea what they are. How do they even work? You just walk in and there are tables there and you sit down and play a board game or something? Do they charge admission? Do they have operating hours? Places to get/eat food?

Sounds like you are a direct response advertiser (as am I). For brand advertisers, ad engagement is a huge part of their measurement. Likewise, for direct response advertisers growing awareness through display and video, these ad engagement signals are critical for optimizing. On-site performance is just one measure, but when you start going down the whole view-through attribution rabbit hole, you'll want to look at engagement metrics like these to provide additional signals to steer you in the right direction.

Given you basically said "what could be worse than a cheeseburger, apple and chocolate milk?" here's an easier answer - swap the cheeseburger for a double cheeseburger. There's a nice simple example of "could be worse", for you, without even thinking about different menu items available.

The apple: it's raw apple cut into slices... not fried, nor from a fictional bakery that their marketing apparently makes you think they want people to believe.

What does where the cows are milked matter, judge nutritional value between chocolate milk and sugar-filled soda. Maybe your judgement of chocolate milk is negative (sure, it's not the healthiest drink in the world) and I can't say I've ever looked up it's nutrional information, but... it's flavoured milk. It comes from cows, somewhere.

If you can't understand the logic that McDonalds serve lots of types of food and that some of them are more healthy and less healthy compared to each other then I'm not sure how to explain it better.
No.

But there is a >0 number of people at late stage companies who effectively cannot leave without losing lots of money.

Following FB having so many shares on the secondary market, some companies restricted the sales of their shares.

Usually, if you don't exercise shares within 90 days of leaving a company, they disappear. Let's say you have $100k in shares at your strike price and you exercise them and have the money to do so. Great!

But now in the eyes of the government, you owe taxes on the money you "made" even though they are illiquid. So, you could theoretically be forced to pay taxes on millions and millions of dollars of shares, for which you have to date received $0.

I play guitar, bass, and a little ukulele, and sometimes record original music.

It's a good question. One thing that helped was joining a church band. It got me playing in public every week, and my playing improved a lot.

Another thing was signing up for songwriting contests. I made some online friendships that led to recording together, with people I never actually met.

Due to schedule and family obligations I've always found it hard to coordinate with people in meatspace... but putting yourself in some kind of pre-existing situation can help with this.

Having been poor, its very cheap per hour as a luxury, something you saved up for. Compared to going to a movie, or a bar, its very cheap both in an absolute sense or per hour. I'm not sure where one can go out for an hour while having dinner that's cheaper.

One issue is due to income inequality most of the population is poor. Perhaps 19 in 20 of their meals are eaten at home, but that 1 in 20, multiplied by most of the population, equals very full McDonalds. Middle and upper class people have this weird idea that most poor people meals are eaten at McDonalds but some simple math about restaurant seats per sq mile just doesn't work. Even poor people like the occasional luxury, its just theirs is a hamburger as opposed to a cashmere sweater or a new car.

A second issue is the usual middle/upper class disconnect from poor people combined with a lack of prediction or creativity. Why if poor people can't afford to cook at home and thus "have to" eat at restaurants all the time because thats so much cheaper, then the restaurant business in Somalia or Haiti must really be booming. What did people eat before fast food in the 70s?

The urge that you report is sugar related. Everything is drowned in carbs, mostly HFCS. Buns today taste sweeter than Hawaiian sweet rolls did when I was a kid. I suspect Hawaii rolls are no longer sold because its impossible to add more sugar to sugar saturated regular 2016 dough. I eat pretty low carb normally, and I feel the same way about cookies or anything else sugary, suddenly three days later I gotta have another chocolate chip cookie. Sugar is addictive.

Finally its a HN trope that home cooking is too expensive and impossible and no one on the planet does it. I donno its like automobile analogies on slashdot or something. Its just a belief, and you show allegiance to the site and its mores by social signalling your agreement with it. Yes yes we all know the numbers don't add up, but like I wrote, its a belief, and nobody ever reasoned themselves either into or out of a belief.
Many questions are never asked in these articles.

Is suicide bad? Is it immoral? Is it a crime? Should it not be permitted? If it is wrong, immoral, and a crime, should people who attempt it be punished?
What's stopping someone from signing up for Jopwell when you don't fit their racial criteria? Surely once they find out that you're not the race they're looking for, they can't deny you services because of your race.

Regardless, diversity is an issue that the tech industry certainly does needs to tackle, and things like this are one way of going about it; I just feel like it's the wrong way. Denying opportunities to people based on race might achieve the goal, but it does it in a way that's only going to breed contempt. It also ignores that poverty, while vastly more common among the specified races, still does exist for some whites and asians.

I believe the metric we should be using for programs like these should be total family income, not the color of your parents skin. Is systematic racism a problem? Probably in some industries. But these days, recruiters at tech companies are not turning people down due to their opinions about their race.
> How we got to the point where utility-style regulation is seen as the key to ensuring a free and open internet is a true puzzle.

We can break it down quite simply.

- Being an ISP is not a high margin business.

- ISPs, like any other business, are always seeking ways to make more money.

- Charging sites for the privilege of traversing their infrastructure, or charging customers by the sites they load (the "cable TV" model, if you will) is a way to make more money, so ISPs want to do it.

- Consumers don't want to be charged more money for the same bits, and neither do the owners of large sites.

- Consumers have little to no choice of ISP, because being an ISP is very expensive, and as mentioned, it's pretty low profit (in the grand scheme of things.)

Pretty simple, really.

Sure, in an ideal world, we'd just be able to change to an ISP that fits our particular political bent (no traffic shaping/filtering/prioritizing for me, thanks!) but that world does not exist.

The idea, in short, is that free speech (meaning, in this case, unprioritized w/r/t bits) is more important than ISPs ability to make money. That's not the perfect scenario but it is the most acceptable one, given the world in which we live.

The "terminator" gene effects hybrid seed. Seeds you would never want to plant anyway because they have shit performance. Terminator gene (similar to male or female sterility genes) simply make hybrid seeds cheaper to produce. You don't have to pay armies of teenagers to detassel the 4-5 rows of female plants and you don't need to mow your 1 row of male plants.

What data do you really have on there that you're worried about?

All I have is a web version of my resume and an inbox full of recruiter introductions.

The connections are probably the most valuable part, but those are public either way.
It seems the argument holds somewhat - healthy and long life needs lots of stimuli and eg January learning in old age is known to delay dementia. That tai chi helps micro movements is interesting, but is this a point about complexity or just actively training ones sensory neurons and muscles to react?

But the unnecessary excursion to fractals and their complexity is just odd.

I don't think the US government is particularly good at education, even while spending more than almost all other countries. Perhaps it would be better for workplace/continuing education but I doubt it. Education is hard. Predicting the future is harder. Perhaps the government should encourage a bottom up approach.

> The report claimed 24 percent of students in the U.S. had not acquired basic skills, making it the second-worst high-income country in the world on this measure, after Luxembourg. The OECD argued that if the U.S. could ensure all students reached this baseline, over $27 trillion dollars would be added to the national economy over the course of the students' working lives. [0]

> The United States spent more than $11,000 per elementary student in 2010 and more than $12,000 per high school student. When researchers factored in the cost for programs after high school education such as college or vocational training, the United States spent $15,171 on each young person in the system — more than any other nation covered in the report. That sum inched past some developed countries and far surpassed others. Switzerland's total spending per student was $14,922 while Mexico averaged $2,993 in 2010. The average OECD nation spent $9,313 per young person. [1]
