I think the most important lesson here is that you need to have really good accounts receivable to survive in business. In a small business AR is a founder/owner-level concern. You should spend some portion of your time personally making sure you get paid--on time!

If you manage your receivables actively then you become aware very quickly if someone doesn't pay on time. This flushes out fraudsters, keeps you directly connected to your cashflow situation, and gives you early warning signs of any possible financial problems. These are the ways that actively managing AR mitigates risk.

It also carries a lot of upside. People who pay you regularly are some of the best people you can partner with. When someone's paid you on time for years it's a very big sign that they can be trusted (and have money!). And when you're directly involved in collecting money from those people you inevitably end up having discussions with them that are very frank and carry real stakes. If these discussions are successful that is another sign they could make a good partner.

If one of the founders at Reframed had stayed directly involved with AR on some level this story would have had a much better outcome. Simon would not have been a vendor for long. They would have found a new vendor and learned through direct experience whether that vendor could be a good partner/investor or not.

The other acronym I never let go of is HR. If I remember correctly Bill Gates was personally involved in Microsoft's first 500 hires!

Enigma|http://enigma.io/| New York, NY

The volume of data created by governments and businesses is growing exponentially. Organizations struggle just to store it all, let alone make sense of it. Enigma helps organizations and individuals fuse, organize, and explore data to make smarter decisions.​​ At Enigma, we started from the realization that there is an enormous quantity of hidden knowledge locked away in data silos and obscure formats, just waiting to be released. We are building data discovery and analytics tools that make it simple for organizations to liberate their own private data, and for the wider community to explore and build upon Enigma’s own integrated public data platform. We believe data can reveal tremendous things about the world and that it will continue to transform it in the years and decades to come. After winning TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in '13, we have since grown into a Series B Startup, and we're growing quickly! Currently hiring Software Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers and more.

I have seen all the executives in my life that I need.

Sure this level of organizational failure at Rio is awful and can be easily improved by firing the executives and hiring cheaper executives that can organize events better. I just don't see what value the executives bring to the table.
"syriza, which was the absolute extreme left any party across the EU could be"

That's a bit hyperbolic; it's not even the most left-wing party in the Parliament of the Hellenes -- that title should go to KKE, the Communist Party of Greece, which has 15 deputies. There are minor parties even to the left of them (e.g. ΑΝΤ.ΑΡ.ΣΥ.Α, the Anticapitalist Left Cooperation for the Overthrow and Front of the anticapitalist, revolutionary, communist left and radical ecology), which holds 1-1.5% of the regional governmental seats across Greece.

SYRIZA sits with the same European Parliament grouping as Die Linke, which is the fourth largest party in Germany, holding 10% of the seats in the Bundestag. It's difficult to say that SYRIZA is tremendously more left wing than Die Linke is.

They're certainly less left-wing than Enhedslisten, the Danish Red-Green Alliance, which propped up a social democrat government in the Danish parliament from 2011-2015.

There are plenty of Marxist-Leninist and Trotskyist parties in various national parliaments, and more in regional parliaments. An example is the Partido Communisto Português, which has about 6% of the seats in the Assembly of the Republic and a bit more than 10% of the seats in local governments across Portugal. There's even a few elected positions held the Maoist Workers' Party of Belgium. SYRIZA is not THAT far to the left!

I think you probably have to account for the relative sizes of basketball arenas and baseball stadiums (>2x) reducing the overall ticket revenue for NBA. TV rights might be comparable among the major sports, but revenue share breaks down on the number of seats and that can't be compensated by ticket prices (NBA avg: ~1.2x MLB).
There could be a solution using elm-lang as a curveball. Graphics seem up its alley.

I find Arkhipov particularly hair-raising. One bad cup of coffee that morning and he might not have been in the mood to argue with the other guys.

Petrov, on the other hand, wouldn't have directly caused a launch had he reported a launch. There was still a good chance that his superiors would have ordered retaliation, it's just not quite as certain.

The excellent and rather terrifying Cuban Missile War alternate-history timeline is based on Arkhipov deciding the other way: http://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-cuban-miss...
> which is, in the end, what matters

Not to the courts.
Perhaps, but it still doesn't answer the most important question of the great filter idea and that is 'which side of the filter are we on?'

I think another possibility worthy of serious consideration given the implication of the presentation I linked above is the existance of many bracewell probes[1] in our solar system.

If an alien civilization has the capability of seeding the universe with spacecraft it's definitely not a stretch that they would burrow them inside an asteroid to conduct subtle observations of noteworthy planets.

I really like the idea of a general-purpose text-replacement pre-processor like this. I especially like:

- A "real" programming language (Scheme)

- Only 1 character to avoid/escape (~)

- Expression-oriented (as opposed to, for example, impure echo/print)

- Completely orthogonal/independent of the code being manipulated (unlike the myriad Java/JVM examples cited by other comments)

One thing that would be nice is to distinguish between pure expressions and impure ones. That way, pure expressions can always be processed automatically (e.g. in wrapper scripts around tools like static analysers) since they're incapable of performing any effects.

Impure expressions would still be useful, e.g. to scan filenames in the current directory, but can be identified as such and skipped by tools/scripts.

I only see this being a problem if there are no free market forces being allowed. One of the examples was that 'some' of the private equity ambulances and fire trucks arrive late. As long as a better one comes in and replaces them, then what's wrong with that?

I have a lot more faith in a greedy money driven investor and company to delivery on the end product than the government. At least they will do everything possible to maximize profits. If they get contracts and have a complete monopoly with no free market though, then this is an issue.

>Here the public sector's system of having fixed, publicly known wages for positions is a good one

Public sector wages are fixed, but those who are so inclined can generally get a nice (deterministic) salary bump in perpetuity by going to graduate school.

I'm not sure how the tech industry would provide an analogous opportunity to be rewarded better for higher skills, given that many here actually respect you less for having a Masters or PhD.

This might just be me, but I feel like the big win would be exposing the permissions an app requests in the Play store search/browse experience. The store often returns 5 or 10 apps which all seem to do basically the same thing and I don't know which to install. If I can sort them by least Orwellian first, my decision is made.

I suppose there are now different formulations of the Fermi paradox but if I remember Fermi's original words they were about the apparent radio silence (possibly minus the Wow! signal).

Anyhow, the assumption here is that doing so is desirable. I deal with the desirability of doing so (openly) elsewhere in the thread. It's not clear that doing this is the best idea.

CSGO has a lot of players but compared to other popular games with their own economies - with exception to perhaps EVE Online - they don't have as many problems with shady item selling/trading markets as CSGO has. Look at DOTA2 for example.
Putin main KGB career was in the 1st Directorate (Foreign Intelligence Service) in which he served as an FIO, which turned into the SVR when the Russian Federation was established, the SVR and GRU are 2 sides of the same coin.
He later did serve as the director of the FSB for a very short period but he's best known for reforming the organization which resulted in major "layoffs" (and being laid off in the intelligence world, especially in pseudo authoritarian regimes rarely ends well), but again this is an odd case, but as some others have mentioned it seems to be a legal framework to compel companies (or individuals) to hand off their keys rather than some technical solution.
Very cool!

I had thrown together something very similar using s7 for a super small self-contained preprocessor.

I'm using `@` as the symbol to consume the next-sexp and process it, otherwise it's mostly the same.

I'll try to throw together some documentation, examples and a LICENSE in case anyone wants to use it. But I've just been using it internally as a generator for Ninja files for my builds.

We use React, Flux (Alt), and SCSS, but experience with any modern front-end technologies will do! (Redux, AngularJS, Backbone, LESS, etc.) For more details and to apply, check out the job description here: https://angel.co/komand/jobs/147390-front-end-engineer
What a strange thing to automatically (I assume) add to the end of these blogposts:

> Sean Watson, Software Engineer, recently watched "GoPro: Fire Vortex Cannon with the Backyard Scientist."

> Jon Levine, Product Manager, recently watched "Sega Saturn CD - Cracked after 20 years."
> Government backed funding for OSS projects is a really smart and efficient use of public money when it comes to investing in digital infrastructure.

I think that remains to be demonstrated. I can think of several problems:

* Maintenance, as mentioned above.

* Government's ability to 'pick winners'. How do you decide who gets the money?

* Free rider problem of public goods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good#Free_rider_problem

It's an interesting experiment, though.
(I'm a developer at Stripe who helps maintain our language bindings.)

+1. The original system was designed to be as flexible as possible and had the advantage of being able to support many different integrations that were straddling many different versions of the Stripe API, and all from within a single version of the Java library.

Its major downside of course is that the same flexibility somewhat compromises the developer experience, and the choice hasn't mapped well onto languages like Java where the expectation is that most functionality should be discoverable by the type system.

If it's any consolation, we're certainly aware of the problem and have a rough plan/roadmap on how to address some of the more appalling blemishes in usability.

> I use mainly C# for projects

That might be something to note. If you're looking at startup, C# is not a popular language. Lots of businesses talk about hiring engineers language agnostic, but how many really mean it? You can make yourself more competitive by already having experience in Java, Node, or whatever and being able to show you understand the nuances.
Test and Code 20: Talk Python to Me, Interview with Michael Kennedy
Indeed, there is no way to remove the physical stop.

Furthermore, the design process is shaped so that it leads to such designs. If the first iteration of the design had included a removable physical stop, it would have been caught in the risk analysis. Most mission-critical fields have standards that specify this sort of stuff (IEC 60601 for medical devices, DO-254 and DO-178C for avionics etc.)

When designing this kind of devices, whether it's the fault of the device or not is not too relevant in general. You have to mitigate any kind of unacceptable risk (i.e. things that lead to injury or death).

There are certain common-sense exceptions here. For instance, the device isn't expected to operate properly outside its specified operation conditions, but you have to clearly state what those conditions are (altitude, temperature, humidity, presence or absence of liquids etc.) and put warning labels regarding their breach in the manual). Similarly, the level of mitigation is often specified by standards. E.g. for medical devices, IEC 60601 specifies insulation requirements that will protect against the kind of shocks you could get from a faulty network, but not if the device is struck by lightning or strapped to an electric chair. IEC 61010 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use) similarly includes provisions for the kind of protection you would need in equipment that falls under a specific type of use (e.g. here on Earth, not up there in space).
