Smart move by Facebook...though I say that as someone who, when I want the news, I use Twitter or HN, or direct visits to newsites. FB is where I go to keep up with what my friends are doing.

Not so great a move if you're a news publisher who has invested time in optimizing your reach on Facebook, though...
51% can, but 49% can't, because the 51% can attack the 49% easily, using the 49% rules, on the 49% chain. So 49% of miners can't force a protocol change, unless the community (majority economy) can also agree on which PoW algo (with different hardware requirements) or PoS algo to hard fork to.

This is how Facebook operates. Open up the platform until everyone piles on and basically ruins it, then tighten it back up and start charging those same people to do what they were previously doing for free.

They did it with games (they became basically spam until they locked it down). Then when they opened things up to advertising, you could basically run any ad you want to any offer you want. Then they tightened that down once it got adoption. And now they're going to lock the news feed back down a bit.

It's interesting how well they've pulled this off without poisoning the well and alienating their user base.
In the case of a software updater, I think "not updating" is probably correct behavior. Broken behavior would be the app crashing or misbehaving or throwing errors because it tries to update the app on read-only media.
But does the Linux subsystem actually understand that /mnt/c is the root of the drive, or can you omit the option?
Beam-forming microphones are well known. Here's a fancy ceiling-mounted one for video conferencing.[1] Here's the theory in Matlab.[2] And, most impressive is the surveillance version, the Squarehead Audioscope Acoustic Camera.[3] This, a 1m disk with 384 microphones, can pick out a single conversation in a noisy arena.

There's a version which records all the audio channels in real time, using a big disk array. This allows the phased-array processing to be done during playback, so the "aiming" can take place later. The company now has its catalog of surveillance products password-protected, but in the past, there's been more info about that application. The DEA has purchased two.

There are also "acoustic cameras" for locating noise sources.[4]

All this is a spinoff of submarine passive sonar technology from decades ago.

Democratic Construction of a Programming Language
There's heterogeneity in the "they" we're referring to. As a rule, no, funds do not reserve capital for follow-on rounds. A venture fund's cost of capital (i.e. expected return) is high, making the compounding cost of holding cash cumbersome.

Instead, a firm will generally raise one fund for early-stage (e.g. seed) and another, either later or if they have a strong pipeline concurrently, for later investments (e.g. A), where preference is given by the latter to companies invested in by the former.

I could easily see the situation evolving that "unicorns" would either have to provide liquidity for options or pay over market rates. An engineer at FB or Google that getting paid in Restricted Stock units in addition to their salary sees it as "extra pay" and an employee who sees a company that will never let them sell options as not a smart place to work.

It does open up some creative financing though. Imagine a "common only" startup, one where every share bought by investors or earned as an option had the same rights and liquidation preference. Or my favorite[1] starting a company with a fixed 5 billion shares all at a par value of $1 each. Then only pay your employee in shares, only get investments by selling shares to investors.

[1] I call it a favorite since we joked at a party once that if you did this, and convinced a friend to buy a hundred shares for $100 you could call yourself a self made billionaire! And be completely truthful.
Why can't you link to the publicly available stuff you read online?

> Sad that the thread got flagged into oblivion.

I sometimes feel the PC threshold is a bit high in some threads. In this case however even I felt the snark level was painful.

As a productive engineer I often put out internal tools or POCs that would be possible to snark at in this way.

I do however expect that people improve them or explain the better way instead of posting dismissive comments on what this guy has done on top of his open source contributions.

That said: I'm happy to see it reposted although I would prefer if he removed the defence for his previous post as it did add confusion to the new post as well.
Vulkan 101 Tutorial
We know exactly why this is a problem right now. The labor market has been hot for a few years and the top 5% of software devs living in high cost of living cities are doing well, relative to other degrees.

Any field that appears lucrative and is not represented by 50% woman becomes a target for 3rd wave feminists to pull the gender card. It's quite obvious to anyone paying attention - there is not a peep from this group when it's pointed out that there are all sorts of professions with variations in gender ratios.

Not a word is mentioned when it's stated that the most dangerous and often least desirable jobs are nearly 100% men. No issue when the vast majority of job losses in 2008 were in industries typically worked by men. And when woman have the upper hand in professions, especially those funded publicly (teachers, bureaucrats, administers, etc.), it's not something to be discussed. It looks like women under 30 now actually make more than men in the exact same jobs.

If and when the CS field is finally gutted enough by continuing offshoring, H1b body shops, and the next bubble collapse, and wages get pulled back down towards the median, it will be interesting to watch all concern for this 'issue' evaporate as the movement sets its sights on the next hot industry that doesn't have a woman majority. See the legal profession for a good example.
What it can do that VanillaJs can't?
Please quote a study verifying this with at least a few hundred people, if not a few thousand. The reason we think it's hogwash is because supporting studies involve only single-digit groups. The study I performed, involving 3 males and 2 females between 18-34, found blue light does not impact ability to sleep.
They posted the IP range of Tunisia. If they didn't want anyone to know they would not have done that.
First, to be blunt: you should have asked for a definition of toxicity when you were presented with this criticism. Barring that, you should ask for one now. You should ask the person delivering the criticism if they have suggestions for how to improve. Take their suggestions to heart, and amplify them with your own. Don't nitpick the suggestions. Don't try to show that they are impossible, or inconsistent, or hypocritical. Interpret them in a light that makes them make sense, to you, then act upon them to the best of your ability.

The pattern "in my review I was called X, but I don't know what X means" suggests an adversarial relationship with your manager. The pattern of appealing to others outside of your conflict, rather than trying to understand the perspective of the people you are in confict with by talking to them (and listening) might be "toxic".

As highly generic starting points, I would suggest:
1. Focus on speaking more precisely, using factual rather than evaluative language. Evaluative language ("stupid", "cool", "boring", etc.) rarely serves a constructive function.
2. When faced with a problem, fix it, delegate it, or backlog it. Don't complain about it.
3. If you are blocked by other parties, establish a clear timeline with those parties for getting unblocked. If you don't have the seniority to do that, establish a clear timeline with someone who does for getting you unblocked.

These are things that have helped me, anyway. I still think I'm too much of an asshole, though.

Good luck!

Your post is riddled with feel-good platitudes and specious mantras. I definitely think most people (myself included) could benefit from slowing down and focusing on the present, but it's folly to say 'Choices are illusory. Our lives are not ours to control.' and 'It finishes when it finishes. The quality it's done at is the quality it's going to be.'
The adoption of PSR-7 and the other PSR standards has made framework interoperation infinitely easier, and it's great to see Zend following the community in this regard. Combining their decoupled packages with those from the PHP League[0], for example, along with best-of-breed third-party libraries such as Monolog will mean that developers get to take advantage of amazing tools without worrying about writing yet another wrapper layer (I'm looking at you, Symfony bundles and Silex service-providers...)
It's called Windows blues.
They do provide abstracts, which is nice. From those, you can see how few subjects are used in these studies.

`rm` is probably hardcoded to not touch `/` without the flag and that's it, so most likely it's not necessary.
Then don't. It's not helpful nor is it particularly noteworthy to state that, especially here.
How well studied are these topics? How many studies involved more than 1000 people?
Toffler is way ahead of Kurzweil. Especially when you consider the first Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1454 and mass print communication emerged ~400 years later. The web was invented ~1990. We may not get it right for a looong time yet.
Yeah, but that was a surprise to quite a few people too.

Hmm...study seems a bit flawed.

For example they ask college students to imagine they are bank HR managers and whether they would hire a candidate that asked for more money. From that they conclude that a bias exists in the real world. However, all they have shown is that college students expect such a bias to exist in the real world.

If you exercise shares in a dark market why don't you just mark them at zero? If they aren't trading you can just make up the price and that goes for any good not just shares of companies.
Exactly. And that's why we in Silicon Valley don't have to worry about competition from other states. State legislators will cave to lobbyists on this and screw it up.

How to Get More Followers on Instagram – ViralWoot
Tech companies have demonstrated over and over that they love to flirt with journalism, but they never want to commit (a notable exception is Amazon's Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post[1]).

I hope this encourages news organisations to disentangle themselves from tech companies as fast as possible.

"they have to invest some each year to keep up with the IRR they aim to provide for their LP's"

Assuming that VCs measure IRR in the same way as other Private Equity (i.e. based on capital calls and capital distributions), then you don't need to deploy capital early to maximise IRR.

For example, let's say a fund had a 10 year life and commitments of $10bn:

- Years 1 to 9: no capital calls, and no investments

- Year 10, 1st Jan: 10MM called and invested

- Year 11, 1st Jan: 15MM received from liquidating the investment, and immediately returned to LPs. Fund closed.

The cash flows are {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-10MM,+15MM}.

The IRR of those flows is 50%, which sounds pretty decent, except that:

- The LPs capital was deployed for only a year

- Even for that year, only 1/1000th of the committed capital was called and deployed

So, the VC fund's performance (measured by IRR alone) looks good, but the LPs paid fees for nothing. They had to manage 99.9% of the cash themselves for the whole time.
man/woman/dude/whatever... seriously, just relax. I'm not obligated to do anything for you, or to conform to your world view. :-)

I will contribute what I want, when I want, where I want, how I want. if you like it, value it, understand it, great, that's awesome. there's no need to attack or criticize. and to be very fair, if I applied your own criteria right back at you, to your comments, they would also fail. Your comments gave me no useful information at all. Instead all you've done is waste my time and those of the poor folks who've had to stumble across them. I said what I said, then, I wished to move on. If you also were privy to the same knowledge of recent public events in the Ethereum/Dao space, great, good for you. If you saw the same sequence of events and patterns, great, good for you. If you don't, oh well, I'm not obligated to do anything further for you personally. I would like to discover a website that's like HN, but a bit less toxic, so perhaps if you decide to help me with that, then in exchange I'd be willing to share with you more details behind the scenes as well. Otherwise, please chill. :-)

I have tried very hard to be polite to you. Please change your tone, or, just quietly move on. Thank you.
Not sure what hovering would do for these little guys but the good news about a robotic forklift running over a robotic inventory picker is you just file a bug report not an accident claim. At the least it seems like a great way to scale insurance, benefit, and labor management costs.
Read my comment again, I specifically said "directly naming". "IP Block x.x.x.x/x" isn't exactly something you can search for, or even easy to understand for people outside of HN.

This obviously isn't about "anyone" knowing, as you said yourself

Query Batching in Apollo
According to the article, removing / didn't touch the stuff in /mnt/c. Therefore, I would assume (but obviously not test myself!) that this just stops as soon as it sees another mount point.
This article says The Facebook is using MPEG-DASH. That's not what was reported by TFB in December. They suggest it's only RTMP. I've also seen reports of Flash being required on the desktop.

https://code.facebook.com/posts/1653074404941839/under-the-h...

I suppose things change, but I would really like a discussion of the latency trade-off. RTMP is low latency. Every other streaming format (except for WebRTC) is high latency. If people expect a Skype or Facetime type interaction MPEG-Dash is not going to work.
After overloading the world with information it can't ever process, I don't think either news companies or tech companies know what the fuck they are doing or what they need to do next.
I'm curious about this myself. I would have to be an elevated command prompt to do this natively in Windows. I would assume that, by default, the Linux subsystem runs non-Elevated. If this is not the case then the Linux subsystem is a bit of security risk in Windows.

It's such a relief to read this! Seems so obvious, but the trope of anthropomorphizing the community grows like weeds.
Yeah, CMU grad here. My impression of Palantir is that they hire the top 1% of developers and pay them what a 50 percentile developer would make.

If you ever get a palantir job offer, you'd be better off just forwarding it to Uber, or Google or FB, and waiting for them to give you a 50% increased counteroffer on the spot.
Hmmm the only thing that prevents you from deleting system files are file permission which in windows 7 restrict it to "trusted installer".

What was your SAT score?
I suspect one reason people submit things on Hacker News is to get high quality feedback from a a reasonably intelligent audience since comments on articles from other sources of news tend to be low quality. I'd like to test this assumption, hence my curiosity about your SAT score.

Be sure to include whether it's out of 1600 or 2400.

Just because a company isn't public doesn't make it a 'dark market' (not sure what that is).

The 409A valuations are real and there are rules surrounding how exercise happens. You can't just sell them outside of that and not pay taxes. You could theoretically sell the shares once exercised to some other private investor if you can find one, but you'd still have to follow the same exercise rules.
Why the downvotes? That sounds very much like the OP's idea.

I work daily with it and work towards the solution implementer certificate. So take that info with a grain of salt and maybe as biased.

About your points:

Devops is possible. You got like three interfaces you could utilize. Json, soap and something called afp, if you count shh, that's also possible to automate with. You can load balance it, fail over, active, active, passive active, self load balance etc. There is also a Citrix, vmware and docker version. You can load balance incoming and outgoing traffic. I don't know what else you want?

You get near wire speed format, signing, authing etc stuff on the datapower. You can also add a hardware cryptography card for even more speed.

Datapower won't protect you from passwords like admin, admin. This needs and should be done on application level. But if you feel frisky you can implement a rule check on your own. In JavaScript if you like.

Where datapower shines is with three a and validation with a check against known attack vectors.

Let's say you want to prevent overloading your api with nonsense. Including none valid string formats ie they shouldn't be longer than 69 signs. And the while json request shouldn't be bigger than 2kb. You can do side calling. Ie checking external databases for validity. Throttle and or stop requests.

The datapower is extreme powerful. In terms of flexibility, speed and security.
