You are absolutely right about the discount.

Being skeptical is also good, but on the flip side there is a lot of money floating around in peoples private bank accounts that is seeking an investment target. I mean, how would one invest $10 in a startup through the traditional VC model? There's no way. This model can be seen as an alternative. There's no inherent reason to think of it as a backup for startups that failed to get VC funding. It's just money from people who are not VCs.
Can confirm this. I get my best, deepest and most respectful conversations on a huge range of topics simply by talking to my best friends at university. (As we have some very different views, those discussions can be quite lively, but as we all respect each other personally, they remain civil.)

Moral of the story: Choose your friends wisely.

One more: Don't parallelize when you're going to blow L1 caches for no good reason.

I wrote a gradient descent solver a while back, before I realized Vowpal Wabbit existed.

Vowpal Wabbit had a dedicated thread to read in records and pass them through a queue to another thread doing the math. I didn't, because it was a quick POC impl and I couldn't be arsed. My impl was faster.

This advice probably goes for most usages of auto-parallel collection impls that the author was pointing out.
There's challenging and there's challenging. If you're starting discussion with "you're amoral white male so here shut up and listen I'll tell you what you have to do to redeem your sorry existence" (I'm not saying you do, it's just an example - but not too far from what I've seen done in other places) - it's a challenge all right, but not one that would lead to a good discussion.

Also, experience suggests there are topics that generate almost no useful discussion and very quickly descend into a shoutfest, outgroup shaming and virtue posturing. It is possible that this one discussion on the very topic will not follow the pattern that thousands before it did, but usually the risk is not worth it.

Not every debate is good. And so, generating debate by itself is not a virtue.
There's two parts to it. We first split up data by different customers. At some point customers get big enough that having a single table is slow. Once a customer reaches a certain size we split up the end users into ranges and have separate tables for each customer, range pair. W typically limit each table to 800k events which is about 800MB of data. Then when we query, we use citus which automatically sends the proper queries to the specific tables necessary and then aggregates the results. Each individual table in our cluster is sorted by time.
Ask HN: Code School for web dev/stack basics?
I've been teaching myself to code and by now am reasonably proficient in Python. The online code schools/tutorials like CodeSchool and Codecademy have been great for learning languages themselves but of little help when it comes to teaching even basic setup/config of services needed to run them.

For example, I can complete a SQL course but with no knowledge of how to actually install or manage a DB even on my local machine. Likewise, I can learn the basics of Django as a framework but I have literally no idea how to setup and configure a Linux VM to run Nginx or something.

Is anyone aware of online code school type platforms that teach things like the basics of setting up a web server, database, etc?

Shareholders rarely get anything in a bankruptcy, and at best it tends to be pennies on the dollar, so that seems like a minor concern.

Voting rights are more interesting, but my impression is that tiny shareholders in startups are usually bound by tight shareholders' agreements so that they must vote along with the majority investors anyway. (That at least seems to be the practice in Europe.)
Some doctors are downright dismissive and lazy, though (as with software developers). So try more than one doctor, I guess.
Once again demonstrating that the term "zero day" is horribly overused and misused and probably should be eliminated from the lexicon, the OSUnserializeBinary bug doesn't appear to be new. Brandon Azad[1] says he discovered it last year. It was fixed in OS X in May. Or maybe the fix didn't work since they had to make another patch this week.

Software developer working on financey stuff at a big bank. Almost no meetings, except for a few impromptu unplanned discussions mostly in front of a coffee. Allegedly we have a 15 min standup every other day, but often we don't bother. That's common for our team, but not for rest of the bank, where I understand meeting load is higher. I believe that my manager spends a lot of time in meetings.

A couple of jobs ago I worked at a large software company you definitely have heard about. I estimate that meetings took at least 30% of my time, sometimes more, this with my then manager shielding us from as much of outside interruption as possible, otherwise I would estimate I would have spent 250% of my time in meeting (not exaggerating). Doing the most trivial thing required days or weeks of planning.

Update for today: big mess continues. Four Hanjin ships now off the coast of California. They can't enter US waters without being seized.[1] Almost all of their ships are at sea or at anchor, although a few in China were seized. Lots of lawsuits filed. Hanjin hasn't been paying its bills since June, which is why there are claims against their ships.

Freight forwarders (like Flexport) face big financial problems. They may have paid Hanjin already, but still have the responsibility of getting the containers to their destination at their expense. Maritime insurance won't pay for this; it's a financial problem, not an accident. Lloyds List quotes a freight forwarder in Australia: “There are bound (to) be freight forwarders with cargo on these vessels. F+++. I haven’t had one (of) these since the Nigerian crisis 40 years ago. F+++.”"

It's not clear if ship crews will ever be paid. There's concern about ships running out of food and fuel.

The bankruptcy court in Seoul has given Hanjin until November 25th to come up with a plan. Hanjin web site still says absolutely nothing about problems.

Maybe make it read only for those who are not vetted? That would keep standards high and you can have a different place where everybody can comment add a source of future members.
> Crowdfunding investing is highly speculative and every investment may result in a loss. By investing small amounts across multiple companies, you can reduce your risk compared to a large investment in a single company.

But there's only four companies.

> Do your own research. Read the documents provided by each company you plan on investing in. Get independent legal, accounting, financial advice. If you have any questions or need more information, ask the company.

Sounds expensive.

Maybe we crowdfund the advice too? Is someone going to make a robo-VC like lendingrobot?

So, since no one 'buys' a subscription 'through the app' then Apple can't demand a cut? Is that right?

I thought there was an issue if an app provided content which was only consumable through a paid subscription. Which the iPlayer now is. (Though you don't need to log in to view it, but you'll be breaking the law if you do and you haven't paid.)

Since we're in the business of nitpicking – unique means one of a kind, so the "truly" is redundant. That said, there are so many planets in the Universe that it's practically impossible for any single one to be unique – the term is being used here not in a technically accurate way, but in a loose, "I want you to be impressed" sense.
Teams really shouldn't be _that_ big. Having a daily standup should be no more than 15 minutes, even if you have 10 developers on a single team.

If you're seeing a product evolve in complexity that much during the development phase I'd look elsewhere for issues. Those high-touch brainstorming/problem solving phases should be worked out well in advance of engineering.

If you're speaking to those phases then I've found those are done much better in person. Even for remote teams (I'm remote as well) getting together in person for large project kickoffs is vitally important. Collaboration can be done async, but I'm a firm believer for in person meetings for conceptualizing those "new" things.

The FBI’s latest mission: Be cool enough to recruit hackers
Wow, I'm blown away by the negativity in this thread. I know Silicon Valley is conservative but this is killing it.

In Europe (of all places), this sort of stuff has been going on for a number of years now. The first startup I worked for had gathered its €150k preseed funding from over 20 people. Not even with a convertible note, they really all went to the lawyer's office together. It was pretty nuts, but it got the product out (and then tanked miserably but hey, people knew what they were getting into).

Sites like Leapfunder (https://www.leapfunder.com/) have been doing what Republic does for years, but then in Europe. As far as I can see, the only reason the US is behind on this one is the "accredited investor" rule that European countries don't appear to have. I wonder how Republic works around that but I guess it's a good development. I have a hard time understanding how any "you're only allowed to X if you're rich" law can be fair (and I'd assume that especially libertarian HN would be with me on that one).

But still, HN's conclusion is that it's stupid to do this? What? Why is it stupid to invest $5k in a startup but not to invest $500k in a startup? If you ask me, that's irrational to the bone. If you really can't imagine some good reasons why a company wouldn't want to raise from a VC but would prefer to crowdfund, you didn't really try very hard.

I can't find it back but did HN react the same when Kickstarted got launched? Is there really that big a difference between "first to get a Pebble" and "first to get some Pebble shares"?

The reason Russia produces so much in the way of fossil fuels is that Putin decided when he was a doctoral student in economics back in the 1990's that the Russian economy should focus through about 2150 on increasing the extraction of natural resources.

He makes this clear in the summary for his doctoral dissertation: http://www.theatlantic.com/daily-dish/archive/2008/08/putins...

We keep seeing a lot of examples of how Machine Learning can really innovate and reinvent all sorts of processes (i.e. the vegetable sorting we saw on HN yesterday), but when it comes to blockchains, it seems that it's mostly talk about how it could potentially change everything, but so far I haven't seen many very useful examples that couldn't have been done without using a blockchain (the whole blockchain thing often seems to be used just for the coolness factor).

Can anyone provide some ideas of how I, as a solo entrepreneur, could improve software by using a blockchain? I get how it might provide tremendous values for bigcorps, but I'm not part of that audience.

"The Sundial" on top of the Westin in downtown Atlanta has a revolving rooftop restaurant.

Foreign capital investment is great, so beneficial to the economy.

The problem is with the housing market. Perverse subsidies, out of date zoning laws, and a lot of nimby based lobbying. Fix these things and I doubt anyone, including foreign investors, would be parking capital in property and just leaving it unused.
I really admire that you're challenging basic assumptions here; that every little site needs a full cms instance, or vps. That's a lot of infrastructure for something that should be pretty basic.

I don't have any estimates for coal handy, but here are some other numbers for reference:

Syncrude says their tar sand surface mining operations (the most extensive form of oil mining in wide practice) kill 2.5 birds/PJ.

For wind power, estimates of annual bird deaths for the U.S. circa 2013 include 234,000[1], 440,000[2], and 573,000 (including 83,000 raptors and not including 888,000 bats)[3]. EIA says wind made 507 PJ in 2012[4]. So it's something like 800/PJ.

For the U.S., a 2014 meta-analysis[5] gives 600 million[6] fatal collisions with buildings each year. A 2013 study says, "free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually".[7]

Ivanpah made 74 MW of solar electricity in 2015 (644,506 MWh, according to EIA). So 2600/PJ.

Not sure what you are talking about regarding SBT. SBT does incremental builds, it's one of the few that even do this interactively. It is also built on parallel-by-default execution: The task engine runs everything that can be computed in parallel except when you request sequential processing. (Some old code-bases with broken tests for instance.)

My experience with Google software is that its usually not as good as Google employees think it is. See Go, Dart, GWT, Android, Google Groups, Angular. I think this can be partially contributed to the sect-like structure of the company where everything created at Google is the best thing ever, while everything invented in the rest of the world is discarded or ignored. See this hilarious reply from Googlers to a feature that many people take for granted, but Googlers are completely unaware of: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/1394

Bazel is yet another thing where Googlers think they have invented the best thing ever, and then have to realize that the world around them, which they tried to ignore so hard, has moved on since 1970, making their "really great, special tool" neither great nor special.

The same thing's happening in Philadelphia, so no doubt New York and DC are running out of places to snatch up. It's insane. I landed a pretty sweet deal on an old building close to the Delaware River for ~$265,000. A vacant lot near us sold for about the same a couple of years before that. This year, the lot behind us went on the market for $600,000 - a number I thought was pretty absurd.

But two days after it had been on the market, I saw a couple of guys walking through the vacant lots. I introduced myself and asked if they had any questions about the neighborhood. In a heavy accent, the younger guy asked "Who owns these other lots? Do you think they would sell them?" They wanted to buy up every vacant lot and wrap our building with condos. I mentioned the vacant lot that had just gone up for $600,000 - the older Russian smiled, saying "We make good offer. Seven hundred thousand cash."

I figured maybe they were boasting. That week, the lot went off the market.

On one hand, I feel like we got in when the getting was good, but on the other hand, I'm not terribly excited about what's going to get built around us. I think my general feeling about it is best summed up as, "Oh boy, here we go."
