That's a really silly (and in my experience) inaccurate comment.

I like schemas ... most of the time! I like Avro ... some of the time! And JSON some of the time. And I write mostly in Python.... and Scala.

I think you and Musk probably have pretty similar views on his chances for success. He mentions that this is precisely why he likes the name "Heart of Gold" for the first one of these ships he sends to Mars: It is extremely improbable and the Heart of Gold ran on an improbability drive.

In the absence of a good reason not to use Python (and there are many case where one should not), I use it quite a bit myself. And usually (absent good reason) I use it with PostresQL. SQLAlchemy is a wonderful thing.

Granted, I am neither a database nor ORM savant, but I find that it makes explicit almost as easy as implicit - but with more safety! I haven't seen that elsewhere, but I haven't looked very hard either. I have heard claims that Groovy/Hibernate do this just as well as well, but it isn't clear to me that this is completely true.

GC of vector clocks is a major issue for highly concurrent systems.
I followed the restrictions carefully and confirmed ketosis with urine testing strips. And I didn't feel weak, I just couldn't lift as much. I doubt I'd have noticed any difference at all if I wasn't lifting.
I was wondering that.
Random guess - people don't expect the euro currency to exist in 2030?
Same here. Super happy with an Nvidia Shield TV.
Can you go into more detail with (1)? It's unclear to me how vector clocks could help with, say, a fast-paced FPS. The "small adjustment" might often be bringing a dead character back to life, if his bullet packet's vector clock claims he shot first. (Hack potential, too...)
Not sure there's anything to explain. Waking up and then going back to sleep is going to help with inducing lucid dreams, supplement-assisted or not, that's the point of WILD.
Yep - that's what I aim for now that I'm doing weight lifting. I definitely don't get as hungry/munchy as I used to, and I'm filled up pretty easily. It's certainly not impossible, but it does get kinda hard without feeling way full. Protein shakes help.

Yes, you should speak in the YC video.

If your startup finds any reasonable degree of success in the US (given you are applying to YC, and perhaps other accelerators in the US) you will need to speak to prospective investors, and perhaps industry or trade groups, if not consumers directly. Consider this the first the first step getting comfortable doing it, which seems to be the problem.

As far as YC and rejection, the video, in part, is supposed to give them a read on how you guys interact. Not speaking certainly limits the amount of information you give them to do that accurately.

In the context of the team and how you guys interact I recommend considering your partner's input very seriously. If he is in favor of you speaking, and there is a significant practical reason, such as specific domain experience, you have to balance your discomfort against submitting the best possible application.

There will likely be many more items such as this and it's best to confront them, fail, learn, move through them and move on.
They do provide an android phone.
The third camp is the guys who know that you have to use schemas when it makes sense. :)
That's done via port-forwarding. That is, Chrome is talking to the loopback interface on a particular port. The server listening at that port forwards the requests across the debugging bridge to the phone, and ferries the response back across in the same way.

It should be unaffected by the suggestion in this document.
This post is a great example.

First claiming absolute authority over other peoples risk tolerance, then degrading the opponents as stupid and after that claiming that a critique on this behaviour is likely caused by bias. Brilliant.
Let's be clear: there is no evidence linking MMR vaccines with ASD. There are literally hundreds of examples of research into this, and there is ample evidence that there is no link. Here are my favourites; I'm sure you'll agree that they carry substantially more weight than a press release from an anti-vaccination group.

However, you don't have to be fancy. I usually just eat meat and low carb veggies for dinner. For instance, baking a bone-in chicken breast and heating up frozen veggies (lots of great mixes available) or doing a stir fry with chicken or beef and low carb veggies again (don't use packaged stir fry sauce, however since they are mostly sugar).
> I'm also not convinced that security isn't a binary. You're either secure or your not, and you're only as secure as the weakest link in your system: that seems pretty binary to me.

You cannot use the phrase "as secure as your weakest link" and then assert that security is binary. You're using terms that indicate varying levels of security.

More to the point, security is clearly not binary. You can support login over HTTP, which is quite insecure. You can support login over TLS which is much more secure. You can support only more recent algorithms over TLS which is more secure still. You can enforce two factor authentication, which adds more security. You can make your clients use certificate pinning which makes you more secure yet. You can allow easy access only from known clients and otherwise make the clients go through some extra authentication steps (secret questions, email verification, etc.). You can do the same for known locations.

Each of these options provides different levels of security. None of them are "secure" in any binary sense.

Why not look at the multiple sources of corruption with Wakefield?

A man who had a patent for a measles vaccine had to discredit that vaccine in order to be able to sell his own.

Andrew Wakefield was hired by a lawyer -paid hundreds of thousands of dollars- to discredit MMR.

He forged the data. He took samples without consent. He performed unnecessary tests and didn't get ethics panel approval.

This was so fking stupid because it's not even how this works. Yes, the manufacturer can initiate a voluntary recall, but there are other paths to recall. Insurance companies are the point of the spear for payouts -- if they think that a particular model or manufacturer has a problem they're going to say something if only to reduce their costs.

Sure, but as they allude to in that article local latency is consistent(dropping a frame in games is considered a cardinal sin for anything competitive).

Game design is built with these latencies into account, if people were to see the raw network updates they'd be shocked at how jerky and unplayable it is.

Generally if you're building a game to be tolerant of network latency you want a design where you're trying to be predictive than reactive. The former tolerates latency well since you're trying to guess where something will be in the future. The latter has latency in the feedback loop which is incredibly painful without some complex(time-rewind) mitigation measures.

I don't understand the conflation of Rest/JSON with NoSQL. The most popular frameworks for the dynamic languages you cite all use SQL with strong schemas out of the box. Come to think of it I'm not sure why we're even associating Rest with JSON specifically or any content type for that matter when one of the major points of Rest is content-negotiation via media types. You can even implement a messaging concept with Protbufs in a strictly "rest-like" fashion.

It's not that simple.

You want to arrest all assets of powerful Russians offshore? I hope you are ready to face pissed off Shell or Mitsubishi CEOs, after their assets in Russia are arrested too.

In addition, you would be playing how Russian government want you: they told their oligarchs last year, that the time to repatriate everything is now (2015). You would be awarding those who listened to that advice and penalize those who didn't. What could possibly go wrong? ;)

Yahoo has also taken over email for Verizon, which I use. Two days ago, without warning or notice, I suddenly couldn't log into my verizon email. I called verizon customer support, and the lady had no idea why I was locked out of my account. After jumping through hoops, I was able to reset.

Yesterday, my wife (same account) was locked out as well.

I'm wondering just how big of an issue this is.
Anything typed can probably get scarfed up in a dozen ways, anyway, because you don't know what's going on in the apps, platform, or malware. So speech and kbd are probably around the same privacy.
I don't disagree completely. A certain subset of gamers (the hardware enthusiasts, pros) will NEVER use something like this.

But certainly over wired LAN it does offer near native performance for most games, past the threshold where many gamers would even be aware they were playing remotely. The real questions are: how good will the internet get, and how quickly will it get there?

> I program in embedded C, you don't have to tell me it's 'unproductive'. It's just convenient and familiar.

It's also probably more productive for that purpose than almost anything else. Why? Availability of tools, and also fitness for use. You usually don't really want to be using Python, say, in that environment, because you don't want to have to burn an interpreter onto your device, and you don't want the runtime inefficiency, and and and...
It is not usually as easy as you suggest to just merge or refactor conflicting domains.

Even if you're lucky, and it is git.internal - rather than source.internal with VSS on one and ClearCase on the other - there may be conflicting repository names. These'll be configured on developer's PCs, CI servers, automated deployment scripts. And that's just one domain name.

That's potentially a lot of work to connect two organizations: who may well not be connecting because of a merger - they may simply be contractors.

If ABC Corp and XZY Corp had their local stuff on internal.abc.com and internal.xyz.com, then all their old domains - and urls - keep working after they connect their networks. Whether and when to merge their services together becomes a decision based on the merits of each merge, rather than something that is forced because they choose a bad naming scheme.

Weirdly, the mortality rates from surgeries can go up with much older doctors, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because they have lower volume of work so aren't as in practice and may not be current on latest techniques that may be less invasive or higher success rate. It could also be older people like having older doctors and the mortality rate is higher with older people getting surgery.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1856535/

There is probably a statistical sweet spot, where someone has years of experience, is active enough to be up on the latest techniques, or at least learns the new techniques and adopts them. Parallels can be drawn between this and tech workers I'm sure.

I was in this situation last year. After 8 years of working in China, I had much of my savings in RMB in a bank. I was pretty lazy about moving it out into investments, and since the RMB was appreciating, I didn't feel any pressure to jump through the hoops to do forex.

However, after the initial deprecation last year, I saw the writing on the wall, and got the money out. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible either. Chinese citizens can exchange $50K USD a year, which doesn't seem to be going away, while foreigners can exchange what they earn in China...with proper tax documentation (it took a few weeks to complete my initial forex).

Investment opportunities in China really suck! You have the bubbly real estate market, the insider trader stock market, and foreigners are actually very restricted from doing either of both anyways (we can't buy stocks, acquiring property is tricky, not that I would want to do either). The only reason I kept my money in China was because of the appreciation, investments also weren't doing well at the time.

I can see the RMB being a serious currency..it isn't that messed up compared to say the Venezuelan Bolivar, or many currencies in SE Asia or even the Indian Rupee. Heck, the Japanese Yen is even more volatile, and I would have lost big time if I made bets on the pound or the Australian dollar. But the lack of convertibility, even if only partial, is a big show stopper. They really should make more effort to that, and they seem to have stalled for the last 10 years while walking backwards from the reforms of the early/mid 00's.
That's fine until Google buys your company. :)
Using Phoenix with Legacy Rails Applications
Every time I read a post on here about ageism and that sort of crap in SV, I feel obligated to gloat ever-so-slightly that not all VC-backed, small, fast-growing, interesting startups out here fall into that mold.

I've been extremely lucky to have joined what I see as the least ageist group of people I've ever worked with. Our CEO is in his late 40s. One of our engineers is in her 20s. One is in her 50s. I'm 38 and on the younger end of the curve, and that's totally, totally cool.

We have lives outside the office and go home at night. If we feel like working on the weekends, we do, and if we don't, we don't. We have the occasional happy hour after work (like, every few months), and nobody is ostracized if they have other plans.

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but I think it's important to remind everyone that the culture of 20s-or-bust has exceptions, the culture of work-or-die has exceptions, and the culture of your-life-is-your-startup most definitely has exceptions.

I wish more startups followed suit.

I did a keto diet for a few months 3 years back and one of the things that I noticed very quickly was the reduced need for sleep. I slept at least an hour less every night and I felt great. Apparently it's due to a reduced production of melatonin.
At one time I implemented services that honoured the robustness principle - "be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send". However, I have found that if you are liberal in what you accept, other services can end up dependent on quirks of your liberal acceptance. More recently I have become a believer in the "be conservative in both" strategy. Rigid is good.

What Happened to Happy Home Company?
I'm curious what happened to these guys considering December 2015 they raised $3.5M and:

- I attempted to create an account and try the home manager platform
-While I could create an account, I was unable to get any response from the company; no response from their online chat tool, SMS, or
calling their customer support line
- Their CEO (@dougludlow) tweets nothing relevant about the company
- They have also been inactive on social
media for the last six months, however Linkedin still shows 10 people working at the company (they were at 18 when I checked couple months ago)

"While it took Happy Home 384 days to reach 1,000 users and $1 million in projects, it only took 38 days to reach its next 1,000/$1 million." - TechCrunch

Does anybody still use them? How is the service?
But I'm right.

I mean, I'd say similar things to flat earthers or chemtrails advocates, and these are absolutely on a level. How else do you respond to something that is blatantly and harmfully dumb?

I'm talking in the abstract here. Forget the subject matter of vaccines, what is the appropriate reaction to someone advocating harmful actions based on conspiracy theories?

True, but then you sacrifice other features in the package. You can't pay with NFC on a cheap phone. The cameras suck on cheap phones. The screen quality sucks. The build quality sucks. There are tradeoffs if you just go cheap.

I would pay flagship prices for a hybrid phone that focused on productivity and ignored entertainment.
I don't know if this has already been observed... but that fateful hiring decision (the lack of cultural fit with the 20-something brogrammers) sounds like a great one: there evidently was poor cultural fit.

I know that you believe your experience is valuable and your perspectives correct. If you didn't, you wouldn't hold those perspectives. But likewise, the exact reason these people are starting their own company versus going and working under you at Xerox is probably because they disagree with your approach.

I don't profess to know what the right answer is here. But I am very skeptical of claims of age discrimination when the author also says that these young 20 somethings don't know what they're doing and don't appreciate the hard won lore an older developer can bring. This clearly undermines the age discrimination notion, because it indicates that there is an attitudinal difference, and that difference could well be a net negative and a thoroughly reasonable thing to hire based on.

Again, this isn't intended as a judgement on who has the right perspective. I think many (not all) younger engineers would have fuller perspectives if they had more hard won experience, but I also think many (not all) older engineers may have a bias toward BigCo approaches that are at a different place with regard to the trade of between quality and speed to first version. But a lot of people start companies because they want to do things their way. Complaining about the way they choose (outside of things that are actually illegal) seems futile.
Okay, so I got that one wrong. I still think it's a bad idea, but I did get that point wrong, true enough.

However, the other points I've made are still correct and accurate.
