They're trying to "Do One Thing And Do It Well". It's always interesting how core UNIX philosophy often gets lost in Startup Culture's rush to "Disrupt The World".
The amateur restrictions in the Olympics have been mostly phased out. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_sports#Olympics:

Olympic regulations regarding amateur status of athletes were eventually abandoned in the 1990s with the exception of wrestling, where the rules for participation still require amateur status rather than professional status for the safety of the participants. For the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics professionals will be allowed to compete in boxing.
My intuition on ice:

* Black ice is clear because it is ice with nearly ice water as lubricant (and black because heat absorption makes it more likely for dark ground to cause it first); I think everyone accepts this.

* Truly cold ice is more difficult. I suspect that it's easy for any piece that does stick to break off (under an uneven compression force), which provides a lot of small pieces that prefer to not stick to the ice it's self. Ice sticks to ice cube trays because it froze there and is thus force balanced to there. That's where I'd begin with theory and experiments if I wanted to take the time and effort to figure this out.
In my opinion, replacing ads is worse than simply ad-blocking.

Imagine a scenario where a replaced ad actually degraded the website's performance more so than the website's own ads, which is not all that far-fetched, and users end up blaming the website for having crappy ads.

Additionally, what if Google and Mozilla started doing that with their browsers, would you still be okay with it?

I'm surprised that the FSB was actually called upon, Russian SIGINT efforts are directed by the GRU, they inherited the KGB's SIGINT network and personnel, and they are the one heading Russia's terrestrial and space based SIGINT operations and platforms.
The FSB is more akin to the FBI+ICE+ATF, MI5 or the Israeli Internal Security Service (Shin-Bet) they are responsible for state and internal security, not intelligence collection on this scale, also so far all the high confidence attributed Russian cyber operations were also attributed to the GRU not the FSB.
I'll second the recommendation on "Mindstorms." The book is visionary and just as relevant today as when he wrote it. I teach programming and electronics to kids (just an hour a week) and my teaching is heavily influenced by Mindstorms to this day.

In addition, my own first exposure to computers with with LOGO on an Apple II. Papert changed my life, and the enduring quality of his work will continue to change lives for years to come.

The only people I know who care about ads and have them enabled do so because they feel they must reward the content creators.

If you are replacing the content creator ads with your own, there is absolutely no reason to have ads enabled at all.

Gradescope - https://gradescope.com | Berkeley, CA | full time | ONSITE

Assessment in education is broken -- instructors spend hours grading, and yet don't get a clear picture of what their students are struggling with. Gradescope lets instructors give out the same paper-based assignments they've always used, but then grade them online, while keeping track of the exact mistakes made by every student on every question. This enables unprecedented data analytics: we can reveal which concepts a student needs help with, or which questions are too difficult. To top it off, instructors finish grading in half the time. We're now applying computer vision to help instructors grade even faster.

Our product has been used to grade over 10 million questions belonging to over 100,000 students. We recently raised a seed round, and are hiring a senior full-stack engineer to join our team of 7. We offer market-rate salary with generous equity. We've got a Rails backend with some React on the frontend.

If you’re interested, please email jobs@gradescope.com.

Potential upside is considered by the market in current pricing.
I disagree. The athletes are creating a substantial amount of the value of the Olympic Games and see almost none of it in return. Compare to some major professional sports where athletes receive 50% of revenue. Olympic athletes absolutely deserve their fair share.

Not reaching a compromise between two parties, but "Being compromised". In the formulation of why people betray their countries, M.I.C.E = Money Ideology Coercion/Compromise Ego. In that sense, compromising someone would entail (often) some small act that crossed a line, which was then used as a lever to cross further and further until they were in too deep, and were an asset.
Pretty bad deal for the athletes. The execs walk out multimillionaires, the athletes walk out broke. Smells like the proper thing to do is go on strike until the money gets spread around a bit more.

SEEKING WORK - Remote & Atlanta (remote preferred)

I'm a full-stack developer based in Atlanta. I've built a profitable startup, so I know how to solve problems and get things done with a minimum amount of direction.

I can take on projects at any stage--from sketches on the back of a napkin, to 20 year old legacy code. Whether you need someone to build and deploy a complete product from the ground up, or untangle an existing mess, I can handle it.

I'm an excellent communicator, and I will provide clear and concise status reports through every phase of the project. My job is to make sure you never have to worry about how your project is going.

I'm good with Ruby/Rails, JavaScript (plus many js frameworks--React, Angular etc...), C#, Elm, Java, Go, CSS3, and HTML5.

I also have a strong foundation in computer science (B.S. in CS and part time grad student at Georgia Tech), and experience with many other languages and frameworks. I can handle anything you can throw at me, so don't hesitate to contact me if you don't see your technology stack listed.

Seymore Butts wishes you all a very good wake and funeral.
10 Technical Papers Every Programmer Should Read (At Least Twice) (2011)
Sorry to hear that man. At least you took it on the chin and dealt with it. Its all part of the learning experience. These kind of stories are unfortunately far too common but its like a rite of passage for each of us. I feel bad for your staff, but hopefully they'll find something soon.
Pretty cool study! Can't wait to see the results.
I'm the same way, that is why I find it interesting that so many people are complaining that the tips in the article. They definitely help my type of vision a lot. I find #000 very harsh and difficult to read and these softer tons help me.

If I find an article with #000 (or for example... HN comments) I can't sit and read them all at once, I have to go through them in bits and pieces and give me eyes a rest.
The 'kind of processing agent' emphasis is a very good one, and I think worth bringing up in every one of these conversations.

That said, I want to niggle a little bit on some of these points

There certainly does seem to be component re-use in certain parts of the brain between seemingly disparate tasks. The left brain/right brain divide has been largely debunked, and I'm not entirely sure what the current state of the art is, but I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that that re-use in this particular case (if it exists, I don't know) is anything other than a 'best approximation' (and maybe not even best) with the available hardware. Like using a fork to eat soup. Sure you can kinda do it, but you're always gonna be thinner than the fellow with the spoon.

That suggests to me then that using games as a metric of intelligence is actually a pretty poor way of getting at the deeper issue; there are too many other variables beyond "how much (general/amalgamated) smarts have you got?". It might be semi-convenient when you have cause to believe that the two models you're testing have largely similar structure (i.e., two humans), but it gets pretty noisy when you've got a less than solid idea how similar the two models are. Because there is an obvious, perfect solution to the problem, you end up with a kind of algorithmic continuum, with the system you're trying to model on one end and perfect brute force on the other. And you don't know how far along the continuum your model is; it might be pretty close to the system (the brain), in which case, hey! Progress. But it might be closer to the perfect solution, and thus closer to dedicated hardware for the problem at hand, instead of adapted hardware doing its best. It might have a spork, which makes it rather less worthy of admiration when it comes to soup-eating. Especially when you see it struggle with the steak.

So, in short; I think it actually -might- be a sign that strategy has secretly been easier this whole time. I'm not even sure it's that much of a secret. At least when it comes to the particular processing agents in question, the ones capable of general intelligence as we understand it. If you want to get into philosophical conversations about Hyperintelligent Shades of Blue, well, that's another story.

Early Soviet SLBMs actually did use nasty liquid fuels and oxidizers (hyrazine, nitrogen tetroxide) - I find the idea of being on a submarines pretty terrifying even without scary liquids and leaky reactors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-27_Zyb
Does anyone here think this might be one of those historical moments like when the Mosaic browser was released?

I see some potential for what could be. But, I don't see the value proposition for the average consumer. I just don't think there's enough value in what they're offering, to be a major breakthrough that will revolutionize the internet. I see it as more of a niche offering.
Why do companies wait till the dying moments before informing employees? I have seen many articles now which read like 'we went to back to the drawing board to realize that we have to close down in 2 days. Our bank was empty'. Is this just dramatization? I cannot believe people can run business without something so basic. Like paratroopers jumping out of an aeroplane and then saying 'we checked before hitting the ground, only to realize we had no parachutes'.
OK sorry if this sounds harsh but it seems if your whole revenue model is based on selling ads it would be a good idea to really understand the ad market.
Not sure that its so much a symptom of a deeper problem as much as the fact that E-sports in general are a new industry and growing considerably. The amount of people involved in the counter-strike scene is at least 3-4 magnitudes larger than it was 7-8 years ago.
the problem mostly happened cause ppl just ignored the "running out of disk space" message. Would happen on mysql, too. And I really wouldn't want that to happen on galera, I guess that would be a way bigger desaster.

The New York Times has made great strides with interactive storytelling.
I've seen so many so called Phoenix companies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_company) spun up out of the ashes of "insolvent" companies that leave behind unpaid employees, suppliers etc that it doesn't surprise me nobody has caught up with the ad sales guy.

This guy is ridiculously easy to find on the Companies House website if anybody else wants to avoid doing business with him. All five of his registered companies are dissolved:

Ask HN: Company won't return lended prototypes
Hello we lended some company prototypes for limited time (2 weeks). Did not charge for the lending, but signed NDA. It was a favor to them pretty much. Now they went dark and won't return calls or emails. They are on Twitter.

We need our prototypes back. What is the best course of action that does not involve some crazy legal expenses?
With less than 500 votes so far, I'd hardly call this an adequate sample of the worldwide developer community.
There's at least one possible motive: they never got the money from the ads he was selling on their behalf, which were affiliate links. So he kept all the revenue from that. The longer they kept his ads enabled, the more ad revenue he could steal. Of course, when the mark finally figures it out, they can sue him for fraud... at least, if they still have money for lawyers. One way to distract them and stop them from checking the invoices or raising capital for lawyers is to drag out a fake investment. Seems to've worked. The startup went out of business and he kept all the money. Given how much they told him and were friendly with him, and as part of the due diligence, he probably knew pretty exactly how much they had left in the bank and were burning per month.
