The idea is very much like knockout and meteor, but the reactivity implementation is completely different. First all it is generic and not designed for just the UI. MobX is completely glitch free and synchronous and has explicit distinction between computed values and reactions (side effects like updating the DOM). More important, MobX determines the right execution other of derivations on the fly, preventing issues with 'double runs' which were a common issue in for example Meteor. These design decision are based on research of common issues with knockout and meteor (like the ones you described) and analyzing what is the root cause of these issues. For that reason you also won't find two way binding in MobX

There is a long lineage of gurus and students (as far as I understand it, this is academic lineage, not genetic) in the Hindu Upanishad, Brihadaranyaka: Chapter II, Section VI [1], ending with Brahman as the ultimate teacher.

There may be similar things in other scriptures as well.

How many of the studies are doing anything statistically interesting though [ie new/different in the field of statistics]. In most cases it should be possible to have an analysis program, perhaps specialised to the field, in which you simply load the data attached to the study and look at however many regressions or time series or whatever you want - they're standard tools, surely you can download the data and put it in a GUI and look at the same graph as is in the paper in 2 or 3 clicks?? If not why not?

> Since then, I've managed my own single-founder startup. We're profitable, growing, and valued at about $2.2 million. We're implementing a lot more over the course of this year and next, and I will look to exit in early 2018, once our valuation is closer to the $10 million or $20 million range.

That would be their manager's problem. Go home at end-of-business. If they fire people for, um, working during working hours, they'll be going under from the churn in short order anyway.

Most of the other replies focus on the unfortunate (and valid) political aspects: that having an important advisor helps your career via contacts and higher likelihood of being published in top journals. But I don't think this is in the spirit of the question asked, which seems to be about whether someone's advisor has an impact on the sort of work they do (in terms of 'flavor' instead of academic impact).

Definitely the advisor usually has a big role here. Even within a given subfield, the sort of problems one decides to tackle is a very subjective thing, and the sort of problems your advisor works on / presents to you has a big influence on this. Then personal taste gets mixed in, and you get a fairly unique brand which then influences your own students and so forth (in a vaguely "genetic" way). And anecdotally, I've heard so often from professors about how their advisor's take on mathematics has influenced their own, so it does seems to be a factor.

Honestly though it seems a bit dubious that these 24 "families" share anything apart from their common ancestor ~500 years ago. If I'm an descendent of Leibniz and you are a descendent of d'Alembert, I don't think there are any interesting qualities about our research that we could guess from just that information. To use the analogy implicit in the article, the "genes" have all become uniformly distributed through the population by now.

It is, however, significantly easier to walk away after several years with a meaningful amount of money. One founder means you get all the profit (either in its entirety, or shared with investors)
Then you don't need a co-founder.

It can still be nice to have one, one guys schleps are another persons hobby. Like I'm good at analysis, but bad at dealing with third-parties. The guy I'm working with is good at dealing with third-parties but is a bit slower at dissecting problems. No worries. There's a number of different other pairings of this kind too, some areas where we have overlap, some stuff one of us needs to figure out, some both of us need to learn. And I think that's pretty cool.
It doesn't work well with interfaces.

A method defined in a new package might break a type switch (or some reflection-based code) in another package.

Simply put, most investors prefer that there are cofounders for the reasons stated above.
Mobx is a blessing ! I work on React only since a few months, I have a ton of subjects to learn, a ton of libraries to learn to how to use them. I really don't have time to learn a complex library like Redux. I tried, and learned its principles, but I soon saw that it would totally transform my existent codebase into a large cream cake with some boilerplate code everywhere. I come from Java world, which is often mocked (especially by the JS community ...) for its abstract-factory-factory, but Redux is not irreproachable for that !
Compared to Redux, MobX is a breath of air. It's very simple, very efficient, and contrary to Redux, not opiniated. It's easy to integrate it in an existing app. At the beginning, I only used MobX in a complex part of my app. I added a store, some instructions, and voilà. Then I added it everywhere, part by part, incrementally. Everything works, my code is simple, anybody, even a beginner, can understand it.
MobX seems to be directly integrated in React.js, linked to the React core.

Starting companies is much easier with a cofounder. There's more momentum and pace with somebody together. Especially with first time founders, a team is the driving force when starting a venture.

But unfortunetaly every relationship changes or ends at some point--always. Then, it's about a quick and smooth separation without briging the company in danger. But this rarely happens, the separation is usually a tedious process over many months till the company breaks.

So yes, solo founding is better in the long run but in most cases there will be no founding at all because of momentum lacking.

It looks like you've gone from "often really changes people" to "get through two years by having the goal of getting out." The latter is the same goal for those in jail.

The question I have is, how do you know that conscripted service, which is what you propose, is more effective than prison. By that I mean a sane prison, like what Norway has, with the goal of rehabilitation, and not the inhumane US prisons designed to punish. And is it more effective than other alternatives?

Yes, movies often portray military service as transformative, but movies want to tell a good story, and military service is one of many ways to structure a bildungsroman. (Movies also tend to portray the good side of the military.)

I don't understand your "back in the day" comments. Almost everyone now is patriotic to some extent too. Remember, back in the day, many Americans did not consider communists, socialist, unionizers, peace activists, or people of Japanese ancestry to be patriotic Americans. These are people who would have been put in jail or internment camps.

Question for you: were Eugene Debs, Charles Schenck and Elizabeth Baer "patriotic" back in the day? What of the 100+ communist party leaders jailed under the Smith Act?

The problem I have with saying "some kids" is that nearly anything will work for "some kids". Certainly the military works for some people. Jail works for some people. College works for some people. Getting a job works for some people. Religion works for some people. Counseling works for some people. Taking up a sport works for some people. Moving to another town works for some people. Simply waiting a few years can also work.

The hard part is knowing which methods are appropriate for which people. And training someone for military service is not cheap. How much money should we spend for a "catcher in the rye" type, and are there cheaper alternatives?

Forced military service as a alternative to jail is not going to happen again. The military well remembers what damage even a single disgruntled draftee can do in the modern highly-technical military. Take a look at all the sabotage done during Vietnam when a large fraction of the military were against the war. (Eg, sailing of the USS Ranger was delayed for months after its main reduction gear was sabotaged.)

Also, the modern "hardcore" standards are only possible because everyone is a volunteer.

My brain hurts imagining how they figured out and verified that this bug exists.
I disagree. The language the app is written in speaks a lot about the culture of the software. If it was Java, I would expect something very different than if it was written in PHP.

For some reason, it tends to choke and die if you have open C#, JS and html/cshtml files at the same time. Particularly if you have multiple monitors, and drag some editor windows onto the other desktops. Having the WinForms or WPF designers open also tends to bring things to a crawl. I do also run ReSharper, which does not help things.

Routinely, I'll have open about 10-15 code files, that total up less than 1 MB, and Visual Studio will be chugging up 1.5 GB of memory, locking up for ten seconds when I go to type.

i've been working a 30h/week job, 6 hours a day, with flex hours (without overtime pay but comp time) for the last couple of years and i absolutely love it.

last job i worked at had 42 hours and after 2 years i've been totally burnt out; now i'm motivated, usually well rested and concentrated. when my concentration drops i go home for the day, if i'm working on a hard problem that occupies my mind i'll stay a couple of hours more (but only if i want to, which i usually do). i haven't had to do crunch time for several years and when that was the case they asked if you wanted to volunteer and if you said no that was ok.

also if my project lead tells me there's not much work to do right now and if i want to take off time now would be a good time to do so i'll usually do it.

additionally, if you want to it's possible to work from home if there aren't any reasons speaking against it (meetings) - many colleagues work one fixed day a week from home (i don't because i love the quiet conditions and free, potent coffee).

in my opinion this benefits both me and my employer. i'm motivated, concentrated, productive and loyal - currently i can't imagine working somewhere else full time, even for higher pay. i do regard my employer as fair and really want the company to succeed, not only because of my workplace security but also because i think they're doing it right and that's how it should be done. there's no us-vs-them mentality.

pay is good but i'm probably not going to become a fabled startup millionaire here; quality of life is, in my opinion, unbeatable. currently i don't know any people who lead a more comfortable life than i.
what bugs me about the startup community is how things like raising 10M in funding or exiting by IPO are considered success.

neither of those things have anything to do with building or running a successful business. they are not even desirable imo.
Maybe because structs have some fields private and some public. To add a method outside the package would be to make those private fields visible in the method outside the package which then allows such methods to manipulate the struct and that will break the abstraction provided by it.

In that case the code would break because it assumes too much. If the language was designed differently, people would code differently too. This is like having a Java abstract class which "knows" all the possible subclasses in advance: if it breaks, it is the responsibility of that abstract class for having too much coupling.

> Plus it's unclear what should happen with interfaces when multiple packages define methods with the same name.

I am not sure I understand: if methods are defined in different packages, they have different qualified names, don't they? is there any ambiguity here?

That Elm talk is really interesting. Tx.

When it comes to Monad et al I'm reminded of this talk by Gilad Bracha. He points out that the function names and type names that stem from category theory are not very good at communicating their intent in programming. (my words) Monad could be named Flatmappable f.i. 'unit' and 'bind' can have more intuïtive names as well.

At the moment I get the impression that as Scala is becoming a safe and productive and widely used tool there are developers moving to more Haskell like pastures within Scala. Perhaps because that kind of programming is required for some specific problems. But quite likely as well because they hope that it will make them stand out as smarter programmers.

Some people may remember the so called "Peters principle". Informally it states that people get promoted until they've reached their level of incompetence.

Similarly some smart developers tend to increase the complexity of their code to keep themselves amused until they're struggling to understand it themselves.

But what is a co-founder exactly? I can't imagine a startup being started, built and brought to an exit by a single person -- every employee contributes to some extent, and in my view an early employee who contributed a great deal should in all fairness be considered a (minority) founder.

> ... would be to make those private fields visible in the method outside the package.

Since you write the implementation of the method inside your struct's package, you have the right to manipulate private data there as you would do with any function. I don't understand the problem.
Show HN: How Do You Use Hacker News? (an un-Official Survey)
Interesting data point. However, we're happily chugging along with 6 co-founders, bootstrapped to currently 30 mln us$ valuation and we've only just begun.

Then again, your point about "visionaries" (with which you probably mean high-ego people needing a lot of approval) rings true to me. We're all pretty low-key hard-working people with a lot of self-reflection and humility - also it helps it's not the usual failing friends, family or uni buddies combo but we're really more of a casting band with a team mixed and matched from industry professionals by our main founder.

In this very setup, it's actually very enjoyable with a lot of pros: Scaling is much faster and easier with invested veterans at the helm, all important departments are headed by founders, also having same-level people in the same company helps enormously with the more difficult decisions and just professional exchange, growing as leaders and 1-1 mentoring. If - and only if - the base of trust is there and continuously honed through communication, this is an amazing way to work and learn.

Legal short-term apartment rentals in Japan are kind of broken due to one month plus minimum stay requirements. Airbnb fixes an actual problem here.

I use Uber pretty much exclusively these days, but in Japan it doesn't make sense: in central Tokyo, you can hail a cab in seconds on any major street, and outside it, the nearest train station will have a taxi rank. And if you go out far enough that you need to call a cab, then Uber's unlikely to serve the area either.
> Reasonable to require $345k within the 1st 3 years to qualify? Too much capital?

An international founder probably wants to come to the states for funding and scaling. Having pre-conditions on both scale and funding seems like a chicken and egg. Requiring funding rules out all bootstrapped businesses which are likely candidates.

> $500k annual revenue

The conditions feel like they select for small businesses like restaurants but filter out the potentially massive ones e.g. pre-revenue consumer facing like Facebook / WhatsApp or R&D heavy businesses like Biotech. Neither of these may see revenue in the first few years but have evidence potential in user growth, engagement or scientific achievement.

> Is winning pitch events or other competitions a good indicator of potential for rapid growth and job creation?

> Does getting into an incubator show a potential for success?

If a founder is wanting to relocate from a non-startup friendly region then neither of these are may have been available. IMHO both competitions and second-rate incubators are "playing at business" and distractions from the truly necessary steps.
