Spending Money to Make Money…aka Stock-Based Compensation – Listen Up, Founders
Hey, my apartment is on there!

Maybe this is just the fame going to my head, but I sure would like some semblance of a yard.
If app packages for linux aren't the solution, then what is the solution?
My sense is they weren't going after the digital ad buyers who use Facebook and Google - they were competing against the television and billboard buyers like P&G. This was consistent with Yahoo's move towards video content. It was a real strategy in the sense that they had a target market, made choices on what not to do, and went for their target.

Of course the strategy flopped, but that's another story.
The thing is that I don't think what humans are good at is statically predicting the movement of objects from video.

Rather, I think the strong human skill is reacting appropriately and quickly to movements.
Yes, but since such examples are far from common (look at all the TCS people's jaws dropping at that constant and power) I fail to see how this implies N vs NP is irrelevant except in platonic math fairytale land. Since you said you have a QI background, I'm guessing you're familiar with Landau's symmetry breaking framework for identifying phase transitions. Like P, it works perfectly in a lot of cases and substantiates our desired qualitative idea (phase transitions) with a quantitive property. However, as I'm sure you know, we've found plenty of cases in the realm of QI where it fails to identify phase transitions (e.g. topological order) that we would like to categorize as such. However, nobody would think of throwing it out entirely just because of these exceptions, since it is useful in the vast majority of cases.

Such is the case with P and the notion of being "easy" to compute. Yes, some algorithms in P are actually qualitatively "hard" and some outside are actually qualitatively "easy". But in the vast majority cases, finding that a problem is in P means we've drastically reduced its difficulty, and proofs that a problem isn't in P establish bounds that make it unfeasible in the general case.
As long as you can get a Certificate of Occupancy (which in my town requires smoke and CO alarms only), I'd never cure a building code violation in a building I was selling (certainly not in the current Cambridge/Somerville market).

You want the code violation cured? No problem; I'll take one of the other 17 offers.
Very good point - you are only "family" during the good times and so not really family at all. I don't think that "being an employee until you aren't" is an American-specific thing but perhaps the selective conflating of "family" with work colleagues is.
It's not about outperforming those hedge funds, I think that is out of scope. They're not competing.

It's that average people (or anyone) can't time the market etc. so nevermind any advantages a quant firm might have, the rules that average person sets up with their IFTTT will be horrifically unwise.

Truth that conflicts with the HN hivemind is regularly greyed. Best to see what the top voted comments in cryptocurrency-related posts say, then do the exact opposite.
That is surprising and disappointing.

I know we didn't send our guys over to Iraq and Afghanistan in business class. It's shameful that a rando in USAID or something would be afforded better accommodations for a conference in Tokyo.

There's no solving the housing problem without more transit. You're just not going to ever have enough housing here for everyone to live in one place, zoning or no zoning. So: people need ways to get from one place to another. More cars? No. Then you need more roads, more parking. Where are they going to go? Guess what? Some people are going to end up in Malden, Medford, Everett, Revere, etc. So what? Is that so bad? Not if you have a way to get to work in the morning. I'm old enough to remember when we lived in Somerville because it was cheap. The Red Line and the end of rent control in Cambridge brought a lot of gentrification to Somerville. Transit is absolutely necessary in a dense urban area (and yeah, Somerville and Cambridge are already among the most densely populated cities in the country.

Another thing is that people use more space now: Before WWII, these cities had more people living in fewer units of housing. We've gone from 4 per unit to 2. As you make more housing available, people want more of it. That's why there's never enough no matter how much you build.
I've been having a bit of an existential crisis about this recently. Is sustainability even possible anymore? We are obviously living beyond the capacity of the earth to cope right now. But is it even possible to sustain this many people (at current standards of living with foreseeable technology)?

If you think about the current incentives for the DOBs that makes sense. Their KPI is essentially number of inspections, violations, plan re-views. How quickly the permits get done is usually not on the list.

It's not uncommon in NYC to go for more then a year through a permitting process for 1 to 3 family reno. That's one of the reason there was so much illegal construction happening here in the past.

"Although I know rationally that the size of the team is not something to celebrate, I feel that I slipped into that harmful mindset quite a bit over the last year. Not everyone is familiar with growth metrics like monthly recurring revenue, but team size is easy to understand. Sometimes it impressed people when I told them how big the company was, and I was proud to share it."

Correct. Headcount is a figure that represents a company's means. If you're tracking it as an end result, you end up having to make hard decisions or someone makes them for you.

The transparency is commendable. A couple other observations:

- Affected employees had an average salary of $58.5k (assuming your metrics is net of benefits and payroll tax). If this is annualized, it appears you let go of non-engineers. Set goals and performance expectations for those who remain, especially those who build your product.

- Stop publicly promising salary increases altogether. Promote people based on their ability, not an artificial loyalty policy. Some people deserve 10%+ raises, some you'll find are overpaid. Use a basic job ladder and put the burden on managers to justify comp changes.

- If the policy of granting vacation bonuses was for recruiting purposes, you've successfully attracted people who want to be paid not to work. Again, implement a corporate bonus program and set goals for staff.

Best of luck.

While AWS lambda actually run on containers they could as well in future run on unikernels and give the same benifits of reduced attack surface and low maintenance of server infeastructure.
The way I see it, sooner or later it will come down to atmospheric engineering (i.e. managing reflective airborne molecules, like an artificial volcanic winter). The question will be wether we have this technology sorted out until the situation becomes desperate and whether the world will be politically stable enough for an entity to take responsibility over this - it's going to be like a sword of damocles over everyone's heads and once we've started with this we can't go back (because everyone will keep burning fossil fuel until it has run out).

Guess what? It was [flagged]. This was my response to that article being flagged (on that thread):

> This article is absolutely appropriate for HN, had an active, engaged, and non-hostile comment section, and SHOULD NOT have been banned/flagged as inappropriate. We are all worse off because it was.

> I strongly suspect that those hitting the "flag" button did so on ideological grounds, in order to shut down discussion they did not approve of.
Flickr could have been Instagram and more if it hadn't been neglected for so long. I've renewed my Flickr Pro subscription for a year - it's an acceptable gamble at this point. I have no alternative for the service.
Will still be a wakeup call. And I seriously doubt that flood control (and/or relocation) for all major costal cities will be cheaper than climate engineering.

Totally! I think people need to get their heads around the fact that Google...sucks at search. It really does. Try searching for a Grammarly review – you'll get nothing but affiliates / content farms who are making a commission on Grammarly sales.

It's very often the case that the first page of search results are all from the same website, usually the company behind the term or brand, which is not what we want most of the time. For example, a lot of searches on AWS will return nothing but Amazon pages. We should get one or two links to Amazon's AWS pages, and the rest should be third-party reviews, how-tos, and so forth.

I think Google's algorithmic approach to search might be overwrought, overengineered, and beatable by fundamentally different approaches. Right now, the results suck. Ironically, I think what most users are after in most searches would be best satisfied by a web index, like Yahoo used to be in the 90s, not by Google's algorithmic approach.

The raw density numbers are misleading. Somerville has a relatively low proportion of commercial real estate. It's also a small city. Carve up Boston into Somerville sized chunks and you can beat Somerville. Roxbury and Roslindale do a number on the average density.

For purposes of comparison it might make more sense to take the total floor area and divide it by the municipality's area, subtracting out things like lakes.
I'm not trolling. Someone told me, "Hey, you're a C++ coder. You have like no design skills. I've seen your stuff. It needs work." The investor then brought in a UI expert and wowed me. It was then that I realized, "Wow, I don't have good UI skills." I imagine this is probably the case with many C++ coders. Sorry to offend if you're an awesome UI expert AND a C++ coder.

As most of the comments in this thread seem to be about "smart" home technologies, I'm curious to hear what people think about the introduction of "smart" things into civic and industrial environments (e.g. dumpster/public trash sensors, Bluetooth beacons for indoor navigation, "smart" bus stops, field sensors on farms, etc)?
That's rather vague, don't you think?
Your post is super confusing and contradicts itself.

1) "There are a tremendous number of records of beliefs/gospels which the modern church considers heretical, including ones which pertain to the status of women"

2) "there's no other historical record of people telling this story"

So which one is it? Is there a "tremendous number" of them, or is there "no other historical record"?

You can't have both. Either there is, or there is not.

Obviously there's no simple naive answer to your question, but essentially to a first approximation the answer is yes, it's possible. The changes we need to implement are pretty dramatic and some particular things don't look very viable (say, regular people making frequent international flights), but aside from those it's entirely doable and reasonably affordable. It's purely a matter of willpower.
Little known fact (I think), Billy Wilder really wanted to write and direct a Marx Bros movie. As a huge Billy Wilder and a huge Marx Bros fan, that would've been fucking awesome, to say the least.

If you live in the bay area, the Stanford Theater (Uni ave in Palo Alto) does a Marx Bros marathon every once in a while. A fantastic way to experience their movies, IMO.
This. I had an argument with a friend because I said having more than 3 kids is selfish, and conversely, having fewer kids (or adopting) is selfless and should be praised. They retorted saying it should be part of an individual's freedom to have as many as they wish. I think after a few more generations we may be looking at a world wide child policy (similar to China).

They laid of 10 people, 11% of their workforce - which means they had ~90 employees.

Crunchbase tells me they have had almost 4M in investment since 2011 and Baremetrics puts them at 45M in lifetime revenues. So, call it a round $50M in capital.

50M/90 employees all in is around $135k/employee each year for the last two years. Subtract all the perks and those numbers get hard fast.

Just goes to show that, even with a lot of cash, a lot of people cost a lot. It ends up doing a disservice to each existing employee, with each new person your company brings on, if you can't scale revenue with the pace of hiring.
I'm curious as well.

If myself (or someone else) were to develop a zero-emission approach to electricity generation (non-nuclear) that could handle "base load" and did not involve filling up the landscape with solar panels (or their moral equivalent), and did not produce waste, would that even help any more?

We globally consume about 20,000 terawatt-hours of electricity right now annually, and in the US, electricity generation is 30% of total CO2 emissions. Presumably, if there was additional power for electric vehicles, we could also reduce overall emissions even further by moving away from gasoline.

But at this point, even NO emissions seems pointless to work towards—we're already screwed. It seems like instead of pursuing lower emissions, we need to work towards reducing the CO2 that's already in the atmosphere.
Except that's sort of my point. I don't much care about Instragram. I just accept that there's no unicorn photo service for people like me. If flickr goes down, I'd probably switch to Smugmug.

I generally don't understand the rush to "grow up" to be honest. Everyone's in a hurry to get to work. If I can manage it at all financially, I'm not putting that pressure on my kid. I'm not saying I want her to be living at home at age 30, but if she took a year or two off between high school and college, I'd support it as best I could. See some of the world, get some perspective, then head back to school with possibly a greater focus on what she actually wants to do. I'm with you.
No. Not true. All RIPE participants can get another /22 right now. [0]

"We are now allocating from our last /8 block of IPv4 address space.

This means that LIRs can request one final /22 IPv4 allocation (1,024 addresses) from the RIPE NCC."

It's part of RIPE's IPv4 depletion playbook. They're in the 'you can't get anything larger than a /22, but everyone gets one last /22' phase.

{not a quote from link but the conversation reminded me of this}

I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It would be quite easy... at the bottom of ah...some of our deeper mineshafts. Radioactivity would never penetrate a mine some thousands of feet deep, and in a matter of weeks, sufficient improvements in drilling space could easily be provided... It would not be difficult, Nuclear reactors could, heh... provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plant life. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country, but I would guess that dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided. [Selecting who would go down] could easily be accomplished with a computer set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross-section of necessary skills. Of course, it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition.

Q: Wouldn't this nucleus of survivors be so grief-stricken and anguished that they'd, well, envy the dead and not want to go on living?

When they go down into the mine, everyone would still be alive. There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead! Ahhh!

The NASA video is very pretty, but the scale is like a line chart where the y-axis doesn't start at zero -- it's picked to most vividly distinguish minute changes in CO2 concentrations.

The linked WaPo article has a chart which is much less pretty, but much more informative and significantly more troubling. [1]

What you see from the zoomed-out historical chart is the variations throughout the year which produced such a beautiful visualization are little more than cute rounding errors in the steady yearly increases in atmospheric CO2 which have brought us from ~320 ppm in 1960 to 400ppm today.

"Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations will continue to rise even though global greenhouse gas emissions from industry may be leveling off somewhat, the study adds — because each year still represents a net addition to the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a very long-lived greenhouse gas. Thus, even by 2050, the researchers don’t think we’ll find any way of getting back below 400 ppm."

First you need to get a ASN. Not hard these days with 4 byte AS support. NRC and yearly fees for this.

Next you need to either get a direct allocation from a RIR (RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, etc) or buy/transfer IP's from another party. Depending on the IP's history, it may or may not be subject to transfer regulations (showing a need for it).

Once you've got an AS and IP's, you can advertise them out multiple ISP's with BGP. If you've only got a single provider, you can have them announce it for you and statically route it to your side of the interface.
