> now it is a really shitty thing to do to out someone as gay. but let's not pretend this wasn't thiel's payback.

It's absolutely payback, I'm saying I don't have a problem wiht it. I think gawker is getting exactly what they deserve.

Thiel/Hogan had to go and prove their argument in court. Do you not trust the court system to preserve free speech?

Does this argument apply to everyone, or just billionaires who actually have the resources to fight against trash like Gawker?
The ETF expense ratios are lower, but you'll pay a couple basis points of spread to buy and another couple basis points to sell[1].

If you have enough money (typically $10k) to invest, then you can buy the Admiral Shares of the mutual fund, which has the same expense ratio as the ETF, but won't require you to pay a bid-ask spread to buy or sell.

If you start with the Investor Shares and end up with more than $10k in the fund eventually, you can always convert them up to Admiral Shares without tax implications. You can't convert ETF to Admiral Shares without selling though.

If you don't think you'll have $10k in the fund anytime soon, then the ETF is likely the cheaper option. However, the difference is practically really small - for a $9000 investment, you'll pay $4.50 per year in expenses for the VTI ETF vs. $14.40 for the VTSMX fund.

The core relation involved is one that captures the characteristics for an individual house:

function house(position, country, color, pet, drink, cigar);

You need to define that relation by codifying the following:

a) The exclusivity rule. I.e. the fact that no two houses are the same colour, and no two owners have the same pet, and so on. You'll need to define your own "not equal" relation, the absence of which is a major issue with this library.

b) the positioning. Since this library can do arithmetic, I would just make position an integer, and do something like this:

function left_of(pos_a, pos_b) {
eq(logic.sub(pos_b, pos_a), 1)
}

function adjacent(pos_a, pos_b) {
or(left_of(pos_a, pos_b), left_of(pos_b, pos_a))
}

c) finally, just go in and codify all of the hints. This will probably be quite long and awkward because you'll need lots of lvars, and the conjunction relation is binary only, but it should be easy to do nonetheless.

For example:

> the Norwegian lives next to the blue house

and(and(
house(pos_a, 'Norwegian', col_a, pet_a, drink_a, cigar_a),
house(pos_b, country_b, 'Blue', pet_b, drink_b, cigar_b)),
adjacent(pos_a, pos_b)
)
Also, I take it to mean 21% use a client-side A/B testing framework.

You could be performing A/B testing server-side and it would not be detected using this approach (which ultimately boils down to greping the HTML for known strings).
Doesn't seem like any source code... Except Python..

Also, i wonder if computer scientists feel anything like the scientists after creating and deploying the atomic bomb... "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Good point. I don't know what PG considers a "better" language (aside from Lisp), but I'd make a random guess and say that most YC companies are using JavaScript, Ruby, Python, or Go for their backend.

So if Thiel was a democrat then none of this would be a problem?
Ah, thanks. I know him as well (though the handle was unfamiliar). I was under the impression it was running under new management.
After the transition from C to Go of the gc toolchain there was a lot of potential in both areas. The SSA backend increased even more that potential. And there is still room for improvement, so future versions will be even better. But yes, it's a great release. Congrats to the team!
The debt is collateralized by the house - give up the house and let the bank pay for the risk they took on you. You're under no obligation to the bank to overpay for housing when things change - you're just not likely to get another mortgage either.
Mostly it's because of the limited power budget.
Cool. What's the plan for Go 8? What exciting features are up ahead?
You don't get something for nothing here. The low down payment loans that lack PMI generally have higher rates. Lender-paid PMI always comes with a higher rate. Even if your credit is well above 720 it can still be better to pay PMI than to have a higher-rate loan. The PMI eventually goes away; to get rid of a higher rate, you have to refinance.

The best choice depends on factors such as how long you will keep the home, but if you're putting less than 20 percent down, avoiding PMI is not a worthwhile objective. PMI might actually be the best deal.
> the only thing you can do about it is help them

You say this like it's a bad thing.
Great work, Go team!

Standout points in my opinion:

Overall performance improvements:

>> "We observed a 5–35% speedup across our benchmarks."

Decreased compile times and binary size:

>> "While these changes across the compiler toolchain are mostly invisible, users have observed a significant speedup in compile time and a reduction in binary size by as much as 20–30%."

Vendoring dependencies by default:

>> "...and in Go 1.7... the "vendor" behavior is always enabled"

Context package added to std lib:

>> "To make use of contexts within the standard library and to encourage more extensive use, the package has been moved from the x/net repository to the standard library as the context package."
Are there any applications for polymagnets in what you are doing?
Yeah, I have 5+ years of full time Rails programming experience. I've been doing JavaScript full time for the last 3, and I just got turned down for a full stack job because I didn't have enough Rails experience. People are out of control with the platform knowledge demands.
vendor directories are no longer optional, which is nice.

Go get now update submodules... I'm honestly not sure what the current hack is for package management, but I assume people are still doing wrappers around go get to pin to commits/versions, (or else building your own repos for funsies), and I'm wondering if that breaks anything.
I think it depends on your risk tolerance and world view. I think the world is just going to get more wealthy and property prices, even when there are downturns, will eventually always appreciate if you buy in the right area. I'm not saying I can predict that, but in the area I live in there were houses in the $600,000 range that sold for far less than that during the downturn, and now they're right back at the pre-recession value.

On the other hand there are areas that have never recovered. I think as a general rule if you buy a place in a mixed-used development neighborhood you'll be able to weather the storms. At least that's my opinion (and take that for what it's worth).

I agree, that said, I think it's hard to say the 79% _don't_ A/B test. Could easily be homegrown, or round-robin based, or perhaps it was only included on a specific page.

Obligatory xkcd about free speech:

https://xkcd.com/1357/

Gawker's outing was free speech. Peter Thiel giving money to Hulk Hogan to fight his legal battle was also free speech. There's nothing hypocritical about wanting to protect free speech, yet disliking someone's specific use of free speech.
Gold for sure.

Leo, we already raised (see my post elsewhere in this thread) so we aren't looking for money, but it seems like we missed you guys as someone we should have talked to, seeing you are in the database/developer tools space. Up for a chat? mark AT gunDB.io .
the desire would be to have a system which let you get started relatively quickly, and learn it more in depth as you have need to.

git really doesn't work this way because unless you manage your branching and merging in a sympathetic way (to both git and your peers), you can get very thoroughly punished.
Some of the juxtapositions/language are bizarre.

>2. Of the YC companies that use hosting providers, 55% use AWS, 13% use Cloudflare and 6% use Rackspace.

Comparing Cloudflare and AWS? Where's GCP or Azure?

>3. Of the YC companies that use a CDN, 68% use Amazon CloudFront, 7% use Cloudflare and 5% use Fastly.

Okay, so there's a separate section for CDN...

>8. Only 22% of YC sites use a third party CMS. Of those, 83% use WordPress.

"3rd party" CMS? As opposed to...a custom made web app?

SSA for all architectures, then delete the old compiler backend and optimize the frontend which can then assume an SSA backend and do less work. (Currently the frontend assumes a less-capable backend so has to do more work, which actually makes SSA slower)

Let me ask you this question from a different angle.

Who are the customers of this problem ? Are the two countries involved in this problem the customers ? Are the people involved in this conflict the customers ?

If the countries are the customers then this problem will be mired with bureaucracies. Information that you need to solve the problem won't be accessible easily. Working on two sides of the fences will be a nightmare. Your customers are also more likely to change their mind when the political state changes. For an example election of a new prime minister.

If the people stuck in that conflict region are the customers then do they really wield that power to make things happen ?

The problem I think is a little ill-defined. I think your's is an excellent thought of trying to solve this but I wonder if we are asking the correct question.

This is very cool. How do you allocate the money (i.e. into which Vanguard funds and what percentage each)? I understand that you do a risk tolerance test, but how do you diversify among asset classes? Also how are you going about tax loss harvesting?
Yes, they do. Harlequin Romances, especially. They produce about 85 new titles a month, and have trouble keeping the pipeline full.[1] They run Red Quill Writer's Workshops. They have an online commmunity. It's an organized production process.

Sure. However, you can't say... (reasonably) record your customer information in a function, and then retrieve it using the same function.

Windows 7, 8.1 moving to Windows 10’s cumulative update model
Very helpful explanation from a thread about this on reddit (narrated from the first person perspective of the scammer):

It's pretty beautiful in an illegal sort of way:
So the clever short sellers borrow and sell 100,000 shares of stock at $2 each, hoping to profit when it crashes to zero.

By hypothesis, there are no buyers. But we buy. We buy those 100,000 shares for $2 each, laying out $200,000.
Now we own 300.1 million shares, out of 300 million outstanding.

On Thursday we go to our brokers and say "you know what, we changed our minds, we want our stock back from whoever you loaned it to."

So the brokers call in the short sales.

The short sellers can't borrow the stock anywhere else. We own it all. So they have to close out their short sales by buying in the stock.

But they can't buy the stock anywhere else either. We own it all. So they have to buy it from us.
How much do we charge?

Yeah, $15. Or $20 or whatever, I don't know. We can charge whatever we want. If the short sellers don't buy the stock, they're breaking the law. So they'll pay whatever we ask.

They pay $20 to buy back the shares they sold us at $2, making us a $1.8 million profit.

Do you find that your programming habits are altered after having programmed in that configuration for a time? I ask this because the only other programmer (the team lead at my current company) I've known who did pair programming seems to be "stuck" in that mode. He can only work with one other programmer on a single project. It feel it makes him a terrible team lead.

Ideally you would be correct, but the big issue with that approach is that the Supreme Court has proven itself pretty amenable to police and prosecutors. Radley Balko's RISE OF THE WARRIOR COP[1] covers that extensively. In effect, the police keep coming up with ways to dull the Amendments 3-6, with legislatures' happily passing laws ratifying them. Unfortunately, the Court tends to side with the state in those situations.

We may have overloaded it by mentioning it on HN. Previously, the only users were probably the investors trying it out.
Ideas are extremely valuable. They just aren't short term commercialisable. Good ideas prove their worth over generations, by establishing entire industries and not single companies.

If you have an idea which will found an industry (or multiple industries), then you have a good idea but you will likely not become rich from it.

Execution is cheap, most people can execute. Some can execute better than others, but still be unlucky in timing or market. Some people get lucky while executing and thus rich.

If you have an idea which depends on inventory turns (or equivalent metrics), then the execution is important and will make you rich if you get lucky.
Why would you want to make artificial intelligence more human?

If it's just out of curiosity, I get it, but it doesn't seem to make sense beyond that.

As far as I can tell, the unspoken truth about the drive for AI is to create a new slave class. AI is being pushed for to create intelligent entities that do the bidding of those that own them. If we succeeded in creating AI capable of emotional responses, this would make AI harder to control. It also opens Pandora's box with regards to the rights of AI. For example, should we start considering the intellectual and emotional fulfillment of AI when designing it?

I'm not saying machines shouldn't be given intelligence, but perhaps we owe it to our creations to not burden them with the combination of emotions and restricted freedom to act upon them.

I've got a cmStorm with green switches as well as a Model-M. The green switches make the same sound as the blue switches, and all I can really say is that the sound of the buckling-spring switches is very distinctive. Where the Cherry MX switches give you an alto, medium-volume "click!" sound, the buckling-springs give more of a loud, tenor "clack!" sound.

While I do very much like my cmStorm for many tasks, when it comes down to just typing (writing documents, writing code, etc.), I very much prefer both the feel and the sound of the Model-M. The solid steel plate backing makes it into a suitable weapon, too -- I could probably cudgel an intruder to death with it and the thing would still work for another 30 years. Nice and heavy, it won't slide around or anything even during intense sessions.

Another thing that's great about the Model-M is that the keys actuate at precisely the moment the spring buckles and you hear the "clack!". This means that the keys need to fully reset before they will actuate again. I've noticed on my cmStorm that the Cherry MX switches click just a tad before the keys actually activate. As a side-effect, with some practice, you can actuate a key multiple times without letting it reset, and thus bypassing the click and a good amount of initiation energy.

In terms of feel, the Model-M has a bit more travel, and perhaps a tiny bit less resistance than the green switches (but still far more than blue switches).

Added bonus: the Model-M's circuitry is completely sealed within a membrane, while the actuators are sealed within the plastic housing, and it's got drainage built-in. Like, it has some shallow little canals between the keys, complete with drain holes on the bottom. Did you spill coffee on your Model-M? Whoops! No big deal. Maybe rinse it off with some water and wipe up your desk. No harm done!

Unicomp, the current holders of the buckling-spring patents and the Model-M IP, sell PS/2 and USB variants of the classic Model-M (though rebranded). They're even manufactured on the same equipment. Furthermore, they run considerably cheaper than most of the Cherry MX boards I've seen. Mine was, I think, $90 USD including shipping, compared to $130 for my cmStorm. And, yeah, despite the fact I got it in different colors than the original Model-M, it feels just the same as my Model-M. 10/10, would buy Unicomp again.

One potential drawback to the Model-M, though, is because of its matrix activation, only 2 or 3 keys will register at one time when multiple keys are held. This is true even for the USB model, because the connector is not the limiting factor, but rather the way all the keys are wired. For typical typing tasks, this is not a problem, but if you're a gamer you may want to consider sticking with the Cherries.

Another potential drawback is its size. The thing is huge compared to modern keyboards. To compensate, it's got a handy "pencil tray" up top.

Anyway, hope this helps!
LinkedIn ads don't have tracking scripts or pixels, so not sure how they're getting the number for that. Certainly can't be accurate.

One thing I remember was the cost estimates for hyper loop vs the California High Speed Rail are an oranges to apples comparison.

A significant and costly part of the high speed rail project is the commuter rail bit which requires of extensive/expensive work on right of ways in developed areas. And big engineering challenge is constructing tunnels to connect to the Los Angles basin[1]. A hyper loop system would need the same infrastructure to provide the same service[2].

[1] 14 mile tunnel under the San Gabriel Mountains. This is part of the reason they punted and decided to work on the northern section first.

[2] The original design I saw for the hyper loop made it seem to be a way for wealthy people to get from their ranchetts north of Los Angles to the Bay Area.

The article seems to assume that food that is now wasted by consumers would instead be distributed to needy folks. I don't see why this is the case. From a business perspective, why do food producers care whether the food they sell is eaten or thrown away? It seems to me that reduced waste would mean reduced demand, which would either raise food prices or put some producers out of business. Then again, maybe this is why I'm an engineer, not a businessperson.
>> Would it alter your verdict of racism if she herself
>> was Black, or Asian, or Hispanic, or Jewish?
>
> Not at all.

Could you walk me through that? I don't see how an accusation of "racism" can have meaning unless we care about the races of the parties involved. For example, if I were to declare that it is obvious that the judge acts they way she does because she is "sexist", wouldn't you want to know the sexes of the judge and the defendants before deciding whether the accusation is true? And at least one example of how the judge treated a male differently than a female? Perhaps you feel that "racism" and "prejudice" are synonyms at this point, and that it's pedantic to differentiate them?

> Whether she's certifiably "racist" or not is a red herring.

Yes, and if it's a red herring --- a false clue designed to distract and mislead the reader --- why should we let the accusation stand just because the subject has other shortcomings? How does this improve the situation for future defendants?

Sure, the judge probably holds racial prejudices, and these probably influence some of her behavior in the courtroom. But I'd wager though that there are many other factors involved, and one of them (economic prejudice, overwork and burn-out, ignorance and stupidity, simple lack of compassion) is playing a larger role, and that a correct diagnosis is the first step to improvement. I'm not excusing the judge's behavior, I'm claiming that putting false blame on racism is a distraction from the real issues (whatever they might be).
