Thanks for the feedback. With this post I was hoping to clarify misconceptions that might be used as reasons not to apply. I tried to avoid doing an analysis that could be interpreted as a playbook for getting into YC because it would result in the same issue: "If I'm not like X I shouldn't do YC."

Anyway, thanks for the feedback and it's cool to know there's interest around YC data.

Indeed. Unless they are grating the wasabi in front of you, you should assume it is colored horseradish. (Unless you're at a 2 or 3 Michelin-starred sushi restaurant in Japan- then it's real wasabi.)
It adds conditions which make it incompatible with GPL, and similar licenses. And in general, it adds a completely arbitrary and uncertain condition, i.e. you can't be legally sure about what you can do with such software, i.e. you can more or less be sued by the author at his whim.

1 Wh is about 0.9 kilocalories. So 1kWh is about 100g of butter. The energy expenditure of a human in one day is about 2kWh. 1kWh is about the energy needed to heat 10L of water from 0 deg celsius to 100 deg celsius.

I agree it is silly what we seem to value these days. Companies I imagine will enable what humans value the most -- connectivity -- and exploit what we don't seem to care about much, or have forgotten -- privacy.

There are privacy-oriented social networks, like Ello[1], and I just recently learned of a P2P messaging network, Bitmessage[2], and an email layer on top of it[3].

Where to Get Experience When You Have No Experience
It's not going to be a popular opinion on HN, but I think supporting Windows 10 only is fine in 2016.

I'm wondering how tricky it'd be to create a C# FS implementation that supported both Dokany and WinFsp from the same codebase.
I have relatives who have lived in Harlem and Bronx. I'd say that NYC and NJ aren't separated by race but by economic status.
Not at all - if it were part of the strategy from the outset, different decisions would be made along the way. I wasn't trying to say that it's necessarily harder to build software for public release, just that it's hard to publicly release software that was not built that way. But I guess I don't really know for sure - I've never worked on a project like that.
Ah, that explains why TXR isn't more commonly distributed and used - it uses a custom license (which is probably a full-on contract now) and nobody understands it without having to ask a lawyer now.
Perhaps, but it makes conversion to and from an other domain than electricity a pain.
You're right. I normally use <abbr> for that, but I forgot this time. I'll fix it.
This is true for all (most) open source projects - so why do some attract more contributors than others?
Speaking for the other side, the point is not that you achieved the accuracy but it is understand how you thought about the problem. The ability to decide on a useful hypothesis, formulate the problem around it, and have some way to measure your progress is very very valuable from the employer's perspective.
I think they probably do, which is why I really liked the parent comment about how people should be clear about what they're talking about so that we stop talking around each other all the time.

Am I doing open source right?
I'm a member of an open source project. I tend to issues, answer questions, do house keeping, review some PRs, such and such. But I feel out of place because although I tend to the matters of the repo, I don't really know how the internals work, therefore I could not contribute the most essential part of it all: code.

Other developers in the project are having these cool discussions about implementation in the issue tracker, but I have no idea what they are talking about. They talk about all these buzzwordy things like virtual DOM, view models, and all those things.

Every time I try going on a safari, the parser piece is enough to scare me away. I also tried to implement a minimal version of the framework just to get the basics. But whenever I look back at the project for reference, it feels like I'm rewriting years of debugging and work.

I know how to use the framework, I use it regularly. I can explain to others how to use it, why use it. I just can't wrap my head around the implementation. I feel like I'm not at the same level as the other members of the project.

The essay promotes boot camps, which is something I'm hesitant about because the type of programming I do took far more than a dozen weeks to learn. But sure, I'll accept they are useful.

But the funding model seems to be that people pay for their own training, either directly or through financial aid. That puts a lot of risk on the person.

Why aren't companies paying for the continued training of their employees? Then they can spread the risk over many people.

Or is it one of those situations where it's cheaper to hire people that another company has invested time and money to train, rather than do it oneself?

If so, isn't this an example of a case where it makes sense to raise taxes (esp. corporate taxes) to provide free or subsidized education?
Is there a name for this pattern?

The propagation of (ethically-compromised) dysfunction? An escalating "giving forward" of negative value and technical debt? I seem to be increasingly noticing it.

Where a well-intentioned rational actor, because of upstream ethically-problematic dysfunction, chooses a "least-bad option" of creating their own ethically-questionable dysfunction, which then has a similar effect on downstream actors. Where at any point, you could imagine an upstream channel with a "no, that's beyond the pale, you need to stop doing that", but because of noise or other things, such signalling isn't working. Until it does. Sometimes.

In this case, company and press lying, tolerated by press and public, prompts government conduct that further degrades the press, increases tolerance of lying, and impairs everyone's ability to improve government conduct.

Or consider the attempt to force TPP ratification in post-election session. The Obama administration has only managed to remain kind of functional, by doing end-runs around a dysfunctional legislature and press. But that has a side-effect of disabling legislative and journalistic checks on groupthink and regulatory capture. And press discourse has become loud and low quality, drowning out signals. So while a (now former) White House official, nicely characterized the regulatory capture of US copyright law, as "extremists are people who talk only among themselves", with only our current functionally-degraded mechanisms, it's a struggle for that insight to constrain policy.

The larger context might be a decline of civic society and civil discourse. But this seems a particular feedback pattern, of "things are bad, so now I have to make them worse". But does it have a label?
whoa this is pretty cool!
> Libraries like that would probably benefit most from using a language with strict static analysis, like Rust.

Wont help when developers then go out of their way to write a large amount of unsafe code. OpenSSL went out of its way to reimplement the C standard library wrong, making it impossible to use with analysis tools like valgrind or a checked malloc and generally confusing developers. iirc it even used malloc(pop)/ free(push) as a stack to pass data around at some point.
Though they are not representative of the whole, if there's 1 ML job for every ~10 java/javascript jobs (are those really related?), that doesn't sound too bad to me as far as demand for ML. Many of those other jobs are probably not senior level jobs, and every ML job will be.

I've been wondering about that. In the same time period and with the same money you could start a company, fail, and start another. As a business education that would be far better than anything you'd get in college.

Regarding your last sentence, I think other comments have chimed in on what they believe the pre-bcrypt hashes were made with.

a) It doesn't meet the Free Software Definition or Open Source Definition. What if you want to use the software for evil?

b) Who defines what Evil is? What if the author sues you on the grounds that you're using their software for a perfectly legal activity, the morality of which is widely accepted by the general public, but which they personally disagree with? For example, many authors who have written these types of licences are pacifists who disagree with the actions of Western military forces. Are said military applications "Evil"?

Startup Twitter Adventure: “All around is a burning runway.”
Yes, absolutely a code file can be transformed enough that the original license no longer applies. Copyright law in the United States applies the same tests to code as to textual works and works in other media: is the transformation substantial enough to consider the transformation a new (derived) work, copyrightable in its own right? If so, its author holds its copyright completely independently of any copyrights or licenses attached to the work from which it is derived.

The case law on what constitutes a new, derived work is not at all well developed in the context of software. But looking at analogues from other media—and that's what the law does—it is easy to imagine that a very substantial refactor, touching basically every line, or a less substantial refactor with substantial additions, might qualify as a new, separately copyrightable work.

The claims of copyleft are almost entirely untested in court, and it's very likely that many of them will prove empty if they're ever challenged. Indeed, many of copyleft's claims, those which place obligations on users and contributors, are more TOS-style claims than claims that look like ordinary "reserved rights" under copyright law, and therefore presumably have a legal basis of enforcement in contract law, not in copyright law.

Explicit agreement by contributors to be bound by a license, however, covers most bases, whether the license is interpreted as a license per se, pursuant to copyright law, or whether it's ibstead interpreted as a contract under contract law (or both).

Printing isn't a task for a text editor. If you want to print something, open it in your word processor.

> I think it has to do with the sophistication of the attack.

The security team probably sees thousands of attacks every day, mostly automated but probably a dozen a day targeted/custom. If one gets through the security, that is of course more sophisticated than all the other ones, plus it outsmarted the security team and developers, so you'd hardly tell your boss "we were too stupid". Instead, it came from China* so state-sponsored is a good text to write.

*Or something like that. Enough infected computers there to go around (or government cares little enough if you rent a server).
Um, maybe I'm stuffy and old-fashioned but I suspect I would run a mile from someone who popped up for a "single semester" to "meet literally everyone they can in the CS and business departments". You would probably wind up with a Rolodex crammed with other busy little networkers and not much else.

The point of the liability disclaimer is that if someone, say, uses the software and happens to lose data due to a bug, the authors (original ones or downstream modifiers or whoever) are not held liable. That requires agreement; it has to be spelled out: if you do not agree with this disclaimer of liability, then you are not licensed to use the software. If you use it anyway, it is an unlicensed use. This is exactly how it works in shrink-wrap EULA's in proprietary software; by opening the shrink wrap, or clicking on some button or whatever the heck, you agree to those things. (If that's a contract, then let it be a contract.) I'm confident that I nailed it to the way it should be, and that "constitutes agreement" is excellent wording.

The difference is that I'm covered, liability wise, better than someone just using the original BSD license, which has a possible interpretation that it allows the use of the software without the user agreeing to the disclaimers, since the license doesn't appear to require acceptance of the disclaimer.

From the developer's POV, that's the only part of a BSD-like license that actually matters. You've already given away the code, and allowed it to be used in proprietary code, so you're not going to be harmed by anyone stealing anything from you. At best, your code could be plagiarized: copied in source code form without you being credited, which isn't very significant. The one way you can be harmed, as in financially, is that someone wants to sue you because of some alleged bug in your code having caused some alleged loss.

By the way, here is how we can be certain that in the BSD license, the disclaimer is not one of the conditions which require agreement. It's because the second condition says: ".. must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer ...". I.e. the following disclaimer is clearly distinct from the conditions, and not one of them. Since it is not one of the conditions, it is not a condition! The license might effectively not be conditional on the disclaimer.

In contrast, in the GPL v2, the two disclaimers are one of the numbered conditions (11 and 12). There is nevertheless a slight flaw in the GPL v2 I just noticed. It introduces the conditions like this: "The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow." But unless "copying" is construed as use, conditions clauses 11 and 12 are not related to copying, distribution and modification. These disclaimers apply purely to use. A bug in the program isn't going cause harm while you're copying, modifying or redistributing it.

In the past I've seen misinformation disseminated about the GPL like "you don't have to agree with it to use the software", which is complete nonsense; you agree with the disclaimers when you use the software.

Pirates do hit container ships, actually some even hire hackers to locate the high value cargo to steal. A bankrupt shipping company doesn't really change much, since the ship is still worth millions. If pirates stole and abandoned the ship then at worst salvage laws apply, and a salvage company would go out and take over. The ships aren't worthless because the company is bankrupt, there's just an issue with operating costs and companies not wanting to shoulder them.

One thing I've really wanted to try is a FPGA on a socket. I've seen FPGAs that fit in CPU sockets before and used the QPI link to communicate to the other processor and anything else on the ring. Since you don't need to pay the PCI bus latency costs you could potentially do some pretty wild things such as talk to the NIC directly and keep your book on the FPGA and pushed into the LL cache. You can even speak to the LL cache directly, make DMA calls. Talk to the memory controller. Etc.
