"no bribes were paid, not even to the police who came for verification"

But there are the daily annoyances like even having to have the police come to verify you live somewhere. Having to get X, Y, Z documents and then waiting for them to get stamped for basic services.

On the other hand transferring money to other person's bank account is actually easier and cheaper than in the US.
Such a system must be built on technology which can withstand attacks by the 'legal' system.

>>> SpaceX may I think have caused reliability problems for themselves using super cooled Oxygen.

I was worried about that while watching the first couple of "full thrust" launch campaigns, but they quickly fell into a rhythm, and I see little evidence that it's holding things up.

I suppose my opinion might change once we know what caused the Amos-6 pad failure. But don't think there's anything that singles out the sub-cooled LOX as a particular concern at the moment.
Doesn't that kind of lend itself towards the walled garden philosophy?

Introducing 65,000 new workers each year, and lobbying to increase, or even lift, this CAP is definitely a way to drive salaries down.

Differences in salary are negligible? Well, then let's give a 10% raise to all engineers employed by Google, would that work?

It's not just about paying H1Bs less than American workers, it's about keeping salaries low for these very workers as well.

> India and China are so vastly different markets, that most of the products made for US really dont fit outside US.

What? Most successful US companies end up developing massive international markets. In fact, for many top tech companies their international revenue can exceed domestic revenue.

This is in stark contrast to Indian and Chinese companies where even the biggest successes have a lot of difficulty appealing internationally.
The problem with making the exceptions public is you're then making athlete's medical records public. There is a slippery slope here as well that as drugs continue to get added to the list of banned substances, an athlete has to report almost any ailment and it's remedy.

There should be audits of these exceptions and how they're granted, but I don't think it should be public.
There are situations in which being smart is necessary but not sufficient to be right about something, and there are things other than being right about things that being smart enables you to do. Some of them, like cleverly rationalizing your errors, are counterproductive, but others, like coming up with good scientific hypotheses to test, are not.

But I wasn't really talking about your own intelligence at all. I was talking about how your judgment of someone's credibility should depend on their intelligence.

My apologies for hurting your feelings with my crappy comment.
Why is there such an exception at all? If there is a list of banned substances and they are found, it shouldn't really matter if they were prescribed by a doctor or not, they could still aid performance (which is why they were banned, right?).

I agree that the list of exceptions (at least the number of exceptions and the date granted per athlete) needs to be public.
I've basically just been waiting for it to happen for years. We already have so many languages that range from "javascript + some" to completely different languages that all compile down to JS, and it hasn't killed the community yet. Worrying about "where will a newcomer start?" is about as pointless as worrying about where a new programmer will start. I mean, I already have the choice of countless languages for the desktop, getting that exact same freedom on the web seems like a great idea!
>Uh,no man. When the rabid anti-SJW's go after someone they hound them, send them rape and death threats, hack them etc. It's insane. Douglas Crockford didn't deserve to be disinvited, but the accusers also don't deserve that kind of mob justice.

So far I've seen no reports of that happening. What I would like to see is for conferences who hire these bullies as speakers to be flooded with boycott threats, along with their corporate sponsors. Until there is some personal risk involved to their own careers, these demented, vicious, hateful bullies will never stop harassing and hurting the careers of other people who hold views they disagree with or use language they don't approve of.

You don't need to make the ailment public. Simply the exception that was granted.

If it's okay to to report when athletes are banned from a sport due to substance X in their blood/urine (e.g. sooo many cyclists and EPO), surely it should be okay to report that "substance X will be found, but this time they are being given an exception".

My first machine to make espresso was a espresso/drip coffee combo. Not knowing any better, I was merely pulling strong coffee and not espresso shots. Then I got a stand alone espresso machine, much closer to the real deal but still a far cry from what a coffee roaster like Temple Coffee could make in their store. Finally, invested in a Breville BES870XL and after many trials and errors, my espresso shots are fairly indistinguishable from what the pros at the coffee roasting shops make.

Getting the beans from a roasting store like Temple or Verve or Ritual (Sac/San Fran area) makes all the difference in the world for taste and crema IMO.

The amount of crema is definitely tied to air exposure so the quicker you can use up your beans the better (under 2 weeks or so from exposure to air). Additionally, its been my experience that I have to adjust the grind setting to 1 step finer if the beans have been sitting for a very long time, past the 2 week mark or so. I do this because at original setting, the extraction begins at a much lower pressure threshold than usual, leading to under-extraction and weak, watered-down espresso with little to no crema. It'd be nice to know if anyone has studied this particular aspect of coffee beans needing to be ground finer to compensate for age to maintain consistency.

Well, you have to ask yourself - how much information remains in the image after I apply this method?

Is the state of the obfuscated image still related somehow to the state of the non-obfuscated version? If yes, your obfuscation method sucks.

You need to change the image in such a way that the state of the obfuscated part after you apply the method is not related in any way to its state before. Otherwise clever algorithms will always find a way to "leak" info out of your poor choice of method.

The best thing is to just drop a black (#000000) blob over the relevant part, completely replacing the part snd deleting previous bits 100%. There's no information leak other than size then.

Blurring algos, pixelation, all that fancy stuff from the movies looks good on screen but is naive in practice.

Of course, if you use a "smart" file format that has undo history and such, then you might still be leaking info.
Tidal forces cause a lot of stress on celestial bodies.

The Moon is tidally locked to Earth. Its rotational energy was spent by rotating it while being tidally pulled.

The only recent grads (within 5 years) with student debt in my circles who could afford and have bought a house recently are:

1. Doctor & Finance couple with combined income $400,000+/year
2. Pharmacist & Finance couple with combined income $200,000+/year
3. Science Research & Quant(finance) couple with combined income $300,000+/year

Interestingly - all have finance or medical field/science exposure..

The rest are renting forever paying of debt with no plans to buy soon (we are in hot real estate area).

I dont see who will support real estate prices going forward.

Michael has been everywhere when it comes promoting YC. Si it's great to see this formalization.

Of course, the timing of this announcement is more exciting being that Michael and Qasar will be in Nigeria in 10 days :) [1][2]

re: MOOC

Sam/Michael,

What are your thoughts on (semi)formalizing a relationship with incubators globally as the top of the funnel for recruiting startups.

It can key into them helping adopt your MOOC curriculum. That way the fundamentals of knowledge are taken care of at the lowest of levels and potential YC recruits have the basics even before applying.

I was just having it as a rough idea to discuss with Michael when he visits only to see this post pop up

As a user, I do want ads to just go away. Since they started some 20-odd years ago, advertisers have abused the medium. If advertisers had had even a smattering of propriety, I wouldn't have been using an ad blocker since I first learned they were a thing.

If advertisers take a sudden "nice" approach, I'll keep blocking ads for another decade or so and see if the trend lasts. That's all I feel I owe them at this point.
Sure. Maybe not for a company, but a lot of times, people put logos on individual projects. Maybe not around the current price of $500, but at the earlier lower prices, I could see someone looking at a logo and impulse buying it for a public-facing side project they've been working on.
Also (more specifically to one of the given examples), enabling `-A` on all your ssh invocations likewise seems like a pretty bad idea.
But being unpopular can result in your material harm - people won't want to do business with you.
There are different styles of espresso, with roasters and barista optimizing for very different tastes - the Italian/Mediterranean style is one, the "third wave" style that's more prevalent on the North American west coast and Australia (Seattle/Portland/Melbourne/London UK) is another, and Scandinavian/Northern European being a third.

Then there's the many people who go to a coffee shop for a drink with a ton of syrup in it, so don't really get as much impact off the taste of the coffee, and will generally care more about the atmosphere and service.

Between the two factors, general audience reviews like Yelp lose a lot of their value if you're particular about your coffee.

Sure. Please note I'm referring to Trac's UI, not GitLab's.

* it sucks on mobile. It's no responsive. At all;

* it's 2016 and I can't drag&drop a file to upload an attachment. Yes, there are a couple of 3rd party plugins that solve this, but this is one of those components that should have been added to the core ages ago;

* visualizing the work to do is harder than it should. A "visual" panel (like the one introduced by GitLab in its latest version) with drag&drop would be awesome.

* it's hard to customize. Things like changing colors, icons, padding, alignment, fonts are not at all straightforward unless you're willing to overwrite quite a lot of Trac's core CSS, and deal with the problems that might arise when you update. Trac rocks in extensibility and flexibility in almost every aspect, except for its UI and layout;

In the limiting case the number of sixes will be larger than 1/6 half the time, smaller than 1/6 half the time, and exactly 1/6 only an infinitesimal amount of the time. Roughly speaking, with a smaller number of rolls you are more likely to get at least 1/6 sixes because the "exactly 1/6" case becomes more significant. However, this is a bit too rough because just because the expected number of sixes is 1/6 it doesn't follow (and isn't true) that you are equally likely to get more than 1/6 and less than 1/6 sixes. You are actually more likely to get less than 1/6, just not by enough to offset the chance of getting exactly 1/6. You can get intuition by just looking at a particular small case, like the six throws case, or to make the numbers even simpler you could look at three rolls of a three-sided die.

Thanks to the new health care laws, states must (or will be) spending more money on Medicaid which takes money away from public higher education. As it is, the boomer generation is funding a far lower proportion of the state public universities than their parents' generation did for them, which is really unfair.

It is because of increased Medicaid costs and also because boomers aren't financing the proportion of state higher education that their parents did that many of today's young have higher student debt than it the past.

I asked last week what people REALLY looked for in a new position and got some good answers. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12456513)

One idea is to incorporate these questions into a list similar to the Joel Test (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html) and have listing answers these questions upfront.

A few more ideas:

* Hand curate listing for tags to easily filter for what listing are interesting to you
* List actual addresses (instead of just cities), display on a map, and calculate travel distance
* Have a profile where you have questions you want answered before proceeding with the interview process

The job search process is too long and tedious. Let's stream line the process for ourselves since employers are already doing the same for us.

I'll happily call this out as obvious concern trolling. While you are technically correct (as most concern trolling is designed to be), it's obvious to any reasonable person that referring to an "island of cannibals" to an English-speaking primarily Western audience will call up a specific cultural trope that involves people of color. And now I've spent my order of magnitude more effort pointing out your bullshit than you spent creating it, so I suppose the joke's on me.
