> t feels like a nominally populist, anti-bureaucratic/anti-establishment movement (the extent of the truth in that being debatable) has been able to make a substantial impact with that platform, due in part to the abject inability of that establishment to deal with and neutralise the movement.

It's happening all over the world: Austria, France (National Front), China, Japan, Turkey, Israel, etc etc.

It's like the world forgot the lessons of the past - the curses of nationalism, populism and ideology - and nobody has stood up to remind them. The latter really angers and depresses me; nobody with a platform is making the well-known arguments about why these things are very dangerous.
Mammal brains have multiple functional units. The cerebellum does most of the motor control. The cortex does most of the planning and deciding. The cortex acts through the cerebellum, not by driving muscles directly. Most of Boston Dynamics' control systems are doing cerebellum-level functions. As with the cerebellum, this involves fast control via feedback loops.

A fantastic piece and a subject I've spent a lot of time thinking about as an early-stage founder.

There's a ton of criticism in this thread but I think people are missing the point.

1. Why 90 days expiration sucks.

If you're an early employee at, say, Uber... your options have vested but you can't afford to exercise them because you don't have $10m+ in cash. If you leave you lose it all because you can't exercise them. There goes your big payout, you are stuck working at Uber until they IPO (or forfeiting your equity).

2. Why 10 years expiration sucks (on its own, keep reading!).

Consider the case where you have two employees who joined on day 1. Employee A works for 4 years and vests X% in options, leaves. Employee B works for 10 years and vests X% in options.

Obviously you want to retain your most senior employees and turn them into leaders within your company rather than see them leave. Those who stay and help carry out the mission are way more valuable to you than those who leave right when they vest.

If you change nothing except 10 years till option expiration after leaving, employee A and B get compensated the EXACT same thing despite employee B contributing 10 years and employee A contributing 4.

3. Longer vesting + more equity fixes everything

If you dish out more equity over longer periods of time then employee B would rightfully be compensated more than employee A.

I don't understand the negativity in this thread whatsoever. Can someone please level-headedly explain why they disagree rather than just downvoting into oblivion?

To be more precise, I meant "is there a way to automatically manage CF certificate from LE". There are many ways to manage local certs (or update things by hand), but if you can't automatically update the CF one, it's going to be a bit of a problem.
I would like to second this -- they have a rather neat distribution that shows areas arranged in terms of leave-to-remain ratio. So as some results come in, they point out where that area was predicted to come, and whether or not the results are as predicted or surprising.

Actually, I'd say that identifying GREAT talent and NO talent is trivial. When a person is "ok, not great but not terrible, never going to be a rockstar but maybe good enough"... that's the tricky one.

People have a short memory. That new development where Filene's Basement used to be was a hole in the ground for a few years before the economy picked back up and it sold out.
Because the 10-year employee will be granted additional shares after her initial option grant is fully vested. And in a world where both have the option of leaving and preserving their option value, the follow-up grant will likely be larger than it is in the status quo, because the company will have to incent B to give an additional 6 years of her life to the startup.

> giving folks the ability to wait-and-see for years, with zero risk, before pulling the trigger isn't really fair

Isn't that what an option represents? The freedom to choose later is the inherent value of the option.

And that value isn't acquired risk free: it's compensation for putting time in in lieu of salary.
The pattern of throwing exceptions for operations deemed "unsupported", an API that requires massive workarounds to keep alive in Java 10, no support for immutable collections, unmodifiable views are a complete clusterfuck, no persistent collections etc.
This is an extremely fine (not to say trivial) distinction, but there's something authentic about the perspective of that title, and since it's scoped by the domain (bbc.com) I think it's ok.
Sure but if you join on day 1 then the refresher grants could be peanuts compared to your initial offer? Why wait 4 years to find out you won't get any more equity instead of baking it into the original offer with a longer vesting period?

Longer vesting periods + more equity guarantee that employees get more equity. 4 year vesting lets the board decide what happens.

While the idea of pursuing a 'root cause' is attractive, in many cases, including the one you point out, there is not a clear cause to be attacked.

Neurodegeneration is a pattern of response to multiple disease processes - we can only understand the response by studying the cases in which it arises.

For the tech-minded crowd, this is like wanting to create responsive designs without actually making websites to demonstrate them.

It could also be, that we are doing something wrong in the society, something we did better after the last wars. Such as not including everybody in the growth of the economy.

You say IRR is the rate, but not every project has a unique IRR, e.g. if there are negative cash flow periods interspersed with positive cash flow periods.

Your assertion about NPV being useful when you have a budget confused me. If you have no budget then NPV is useful. You just do every possible NPV-positive project.

If you do have a budget, as in your example, you could not pick between those two projects without considering some missing information (the length of time). You can't just pick the highest IRR project, or the largest project. The NPV of your larger project with a slightly lower yield could be lower than that of the smaller, higher yielding project. Consider if the larger one had a length of 1 month, and couldn't be repeated, whereas the smaller one would take 5 years. Or you could flip it around. The information you gave is not enough to choose, regardless of whether or not you're budget-constrained.

community.letsencrypt.org

Is secured with Comodo.
Indeed. I recently had my first two experiences acquiring and installing certificates, the first from Comodo and the second from Let's Encrypt. Comodo took two weeks of repeated attempts over multiple validation methods to get the damn thing issued. Let's Encrypt took less than a minute, even on a platform that doesn't officially support it.

It seems Comodo is obviously lashing out because the only value their service provides is the (ultimately artificial) trust in their CA. And now there's a new player on the scene that not only is free, but provides more value in terms of ease of use and just as much trust.
Something I hadn't considered was the breakdown between the individual UK nations.

What happens if the UK as a whole decides to leave the euro zone, perhaps by a small margin or perhaps by a lot, but for some reason Scotland decides buy a 15% margin to stay in the euro zone.

Is there any reason to think we might see Scotland decide to stay with the euro zone it leave the UK in that case? Or are the ties so strong that the UK would probably stay together no matter what even if one of the member nations has a strongly different opinion?

If your comment won't contribute the conversation (in an intellectual sense) don't post it. Some people do post useless comments but generally they are voted down; also, the standard is not the worst comments.
This is really scummy behavior on then part of Comodo. I'm glad to not have had to do business with them. I suppose it does show how much Comodo is threatened by ISRG in this regard. It will be interesting to see if any of the big-corp sponsors offers to help ISRG with any legal fees that might come up, as this presents a large PR opportunity in the vein of Newegg patent troll fighthing.
Maybe also one of the stupidest. Comodo are really raising up LetsEncrypt in the eyes of the community, as well as sullying their own brand, by being such dicks, and being so obviously in the wrong.

And when they lose, as it sounds they will, they'll leave the LetsEncrypt brand all the more valuable than before.

Ask HN: How can I get iOS projects
I am a long time lurker here. I started solo 1 year back to try some product ideas, but, it didn't work out yet.

As I am running out of cash, I am looking for projects especially building native mobile apps. I find it difficult and confusing thinking about how to attract such projects.

For background, I have published 10+ apps in the Appstore done while working for previous company. 90%+ of the work of these apps were done myself (excluding design). But, those are client apps for various companies, not as slick as Uber app and none of them have big downloads.

I was trying to apply to Gigster as contractor, but, they ask description 'Most interesting / challenging / best' projects. None of the projects I did were so challenging[0]. So, I gave up applying to Gigster.

People telling there is lot of opportunity for mobile apps developers, but, I don't see that sitting here in SE Asia.

What is the best way I should proceed so that I could get a few projects?

[0] At least I think so now, but, some of them were definitely challenging when I was implementing some new thing for the first time.

An interesting project was kicked around here / proggit the other day, using apltail as the middle of a pipeline transforming APL code into optimized GPU code (Futhark), instead of targeting C. It is a pretty good display of ML's suitability for this sort of task.

I've always been impressed (amazed?) at the performance APL and its descendants get in an interpreted environment -- I'd be interested to see performance comparisons between the output of apl-to-apltail-to-C / apl-to-apltail-to-futhark and an APL interpreter.
I read it completely differently. I'm pretty sure he is empathizing with those employees. He's saying it sucks that people must decide between leaving their pre-IPO company or forfeiting their valuable options. (looking at you Uber)

Why are you assuming a trade war with Mexico or China would necessarily lead to a loss of jobs as if it were some universal law of physics. Cause the specific media that you watch says it would?

I've never seen a coherent argument explaining how free trade deals have helped anyone but small groups at the expense of larger ones.

In fact, the actual direct evidence of trade deals are this:

1. Massive job loss for American workers.
2. Tax losses for the communities whose factories move across borders.
3.No actual job creation in its place based on the labor participation rate (lowest since these deals became common).
4. Corporate profits at highest level since before these deals.
5. Wealth inequality approaching depression level era. Interestingly, our gini coefficient tends to approach that of Mexico and China the more we trade with them.

In other languages you don't need refactoring tools so much. I use the Idea refactoring a lot, but really I can change a method signature, or rip out some code into another method and watch it fail to compile and fix the problems one by one.
Unfortunately people do not change. Look at our history, i fear that it's only a matter of time when we will see another hitler in disguise, but this time this will not be the jews that will be the target but muslims. You can feel populism all over the Europe, (i am from EU) every month right wing parties getting stronger and stronger, nationalism and populism EVERYWHERE. Only 30 thousand votes saved Austria from radical right wing president. Look at US also, political correctness in really excessive levels and not speaking about things made Trump so popular.

There is a problem with education also, we should teach our kids what populism and nationalism is, what are the consequences of radical nationalism.

gitkit-js: A Pure JS Implementation of Git
Gotta say, I love how not once was age mentioned. If you want a different perspective, get it from someone who has been around for awhile. It would be interesting if someone tried to calculate how much suboptimal hiring costs the economy, I have this suspicion that failure to utilize people with real experience will top the list.
You have it backwards. The English are on the fence about it, but the Scots want to remain by a huge margin. If the UK votes to leave, it's very likely that it will trigger a re-referendum for Scotland to leave the UK and rejoin the EU.
It might be similar to the way hotels are built. Nobody ever builds a "Sleep Inn" or "Motel 6" -- they build Westins, and old Westins become Hampton Inns, and old Hampton Inns become Sleep Inns, and old Sleep Inns become Motel 6.

This is awesome.

I always recommend that people at least look into APL, to get a taste of how different some paradigms of programming are from what they're used to. Unfortunately, the de factor implementation of APL (Dyalog) is proprietary, and last I checked, the process of getting a trial license takes too much time to be worth it for people with only a passing interest.

It's great to see another open source implementation.

Here's my favourite video of APL in action. It'll blow your mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4
so your argument is that microsoft keeps on hand enough accounts with high enough karma to downvote you and then also upvote you when you call out their conspiracy so that they dont seem to be downvoting you?

This is a joke. Dual basis of options should be fixed. That is the solution to the problem. It's not the cash for exercise, it's the AMT payment due at time of exercise. At least today we have credits which is better than it once was. But just fix this and this whole issue of 90 days or 10 years is way less important.
I don't think the solution is to validate it everytime you use that data/value. I fail to see how you mitigate the issue with the second validation. You have duplicate records so hoe you fix it? Shouldn't you check duplicate sccounts on sign up?

> I don't know of many reasons to not use Phoenix.

Personally my biggest reservation would be the difficulty of debugging production issues that span two languages - Elixir and Erlang – when I have no familiarity with the underlying language (and when that language is not widely used, and therefore likely to be sparse on StackOverflow).

That's not to say I wouldn't use Phoenix; it's just that that's the biggest drawback I can think of (aside from general ecosystem maturity, which it sounds like is on an impressive clip).

EDIT: Oh, and Elixir doesn't have support for static type analysis (though it does have typespecs[0], and there is Erlang's dialyzer[2]...). Python has mypy[1], and JavaScript has TypeScript/Flow.

I'm glad you love using GitLab to manage your automation projects. Luckily, you can still use the Omnibus install but change the default usernames :) In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` we have the following configuration options:

registry['username'] = "registry"
registry['group'] = "registry"
user['username'] = "git"
user['group'] = "git"
postgresql['username'] = "gitlab-psql"
redis['username'] = "gitlab-redis"
web_server['username'] = 'gitlab-www'
web_server['group'] = 'gitlab-www'
mattermost['username'] = 'mattermost'
mattermost['group'] = 'mattermost'

Change these to acceptable values and it should work well for you. If there are any other blockers in the Omnibus package, please create an issue at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues and we'll do our best to accommodate them.

It's only a problem if you quickly get stingy about options. And then your early employees, expecting to get topped up, leave. In a well-managed company, with a CFO who is prompting the right moves, it isn't a problem.
