> But for these people that are still supporting Trump, they consider that avoiding 90% of Hillary's platform worth the cost of Trump.

I think the problem is that's not true. From what I've read, people don't support a candidate because they agree or disagree with the opposition on real-terms. They support because of "fake terms."

I consider these fake terms to be one I hear a lot from Trump supporters: "Hillary Clinton wants to take our guns away."

> women (a small number, mind you) were tweeting they'd gladly give up their right to vote if it got Trump elected.

There are plenty of women that think women shouldn't vote, regardless of Trump! There are men who think men shouldn't vote, etc.. etc.. fortunately, the internet gives them a platform: unfortunately, sometimes these groups aren't keen on reason.
Yes totally agree. Actually we are doing some experiments with that too. We chose redis for it's easier and simpler integration and highly programmably controls.
Very true. The line is important.

Trump has started heavily implying that the election will be rigged, Russia-style. He repeats Info Wars propaganda sillyness. He's come out to say that the elections will be stolen from true Americans by illegal immigrants. He's called for beating protestors.

Some of his positions are more a question of form rather than function compared to the political mainstream. His comments on muslims immigrating into the country are not far from the Republican Party mainstream, unfortunately.

But beyond his policies, he has been openly hostile to the concept of functioning democracy. There's a lazy comparison to be made to Hitler, but that's because Hitler also subverted the system through a cult of personality.

I know some people oppose him for his policies, but it feels internally inconsistent (you'd have to boycott most Republican supporters). But surely using strategies to undermine the legitimacy of the election results (that in a different country would be an obvious lead-up to a coup d'etat) is something we can all get behind as a bad thing.

It's not universally worse, but Cloud Business As A Pay Me Until I'm Bored model has the unfixable flaw that you cannot do anything to fix it.

* If the software stops being supported and isn't patched, you can still run the old version; you could even patch it yourself.

* If someone turns off the server, you migrate to your own. (You're keeping backups, right?)

* If the hard drive crashes, you replace it. (You ARE keeping backups, right?)

* If your friends don't use it, you can try to improve the software, lobby harder, switch to something else, etc.

None of these things are easy, but it's at least possible - and at the very least, you don't suffer the same sort of emotional ennui due to it being completely out of your hands.
Is this really a major pain point? You have to run billions of units of the work to find the proof. You run exactly one unit of the work to validate the proof.

The units can be set somewhat arbitrarily. Although it is important for the unit to be memory-hard-enough to not accelerate well on a GPU.

I would think that's a rather wide "target" which can be hit by scrypt at a certain difficulty.

Needless to say, it's still possible to get it wrong, e.g. Litecoin.
I think the point is that in context, that doesn't matter. If everyone believed that, Hillary would be polling at 70%.

Starting an argument from "this is ok because we're right and they're wrong" means that you have to expect the other side to use the exact same argument. I'd rather not see us go down the road of firing people for supporting popular candidates, if only because everyone can do it.

AWS IoT Help Button – A Practical Example
You're right: many people are supporting the top of the GOP ticket out of loyalty to the GOP, or because they're pro-life. They don't support Donald Trump.

But Thiel does. We know this, because Thiel got up on stage at the Republican National Convention, in a nationally televised speech, and proclaimed to the nation that Donald Trump was the best candidate in the race --- and the only "honest" one. Thiel's support for Trump is not in question.

One feature of org-mode that might be worth considering is that it is cross platform. Because NotePlan is tied to OSX, I can't try it out, let alone use it.

Org-mode has been around for more than a decade and is open source and on a platform Emacs that has a high hacker to non-hacker ratio.

Not that I'm recommending building up an application in C. But Electron might be an option for an org-mode like cross platform application.

Good luck.

Simple common sense pretty much negates this headline and its premise.

To be honest, I can't say that I have a compelling interest in protecting hotel market share. As a resident of NYC, however, I do have an interest in protecting my relatively cheap (but in-the-real-world-expensive-as-hell) rent. I see more and more people with suitcases leaving and entering buildings in the neighborhood, and I have to wonder what that is doing to rent prices.

It's still a gut thing right now, but the case feels like it's getting more compelling.
Transparent Startups looks awesome.

One way is to build projects for an audience that you either know or can reach. That might be something local in your city, HN, etc.

No idea about this material in specific but a lot of nanoscale stuff is manufactured using photo lithography, basically the same way we make micro conductors since it's a process we understand well and we can scale (just ask Intel.)

It sounds like this material would have good tolerance for minor imperfections (unlike IC) so yield could be really good.
What repercussions? The situation strikes me as asymmetric: no matter what action Altman or Graham take they will be heavily criticized; for Ptacek, the worst would seem to be disagreement with his well-reasoned dialogue.

It seems unfair to force this to become a very public conversation.
It's a simple comparison really:

Trump - (paraphased) Muslims are evil, they should be registered and have special restrictions placed on them.

He singled out a single religious group. Made them the target of a group of people that are disposed to hating them. It goes against the very spirit of modern western democracy. To many it represents a clear and unforseen threat to our country. Even Bush who was clearly the most aggressive of the recent presidents in dealing with Muslim states, stopped WAY short of that. Clinton has clearly not singled out any one group, clearly tried to bring more people together. To compare the two is blatantly overlooking the clear differences in Trump's campaign and nearly every other one in recent history.
I was really hoping that Gödel was wrong when he said that he found a logical loophole in the constitution that would allow for a dictatorship. But I believe we are figuring out what that loophole was.
The point is just to utilize the commodity hardware to the max. Commodity hardware gives you a lot of memory IO for the buck. You can't spend the same dollars and get 100x more IO. But you can spend the same dollars and get 100x (or more) faster at typical hashes like SHA256.

Scrypt uses memory IO so that you can get "your money's worth" by running on an Intel CPU.

It's sometimes argued that artificial intelligences cannot be accorded rights, or respect, because they cannot suffer. The argument goes that the suffering of an AI is unreal because it could be reprogrammed or deleted, thus expunging the experience.

I find this view horrific and I hope that I won't be alone in protesting bitterly if something like Westworld (the theme park, or the hosts in it) were ever to be made. What are we to determine what is and isn't deserving of our compassion?
It's an admirable goal, but it would seem to violate the second law of thermodynamics. There is almost always waste. Even if we could create some reversible processes, adhering to these would require a lot of behavioral enforcement since there would be consumptive alternatives that were easier or cheaper. Our current regime is hardly panglossian, but there are always costs to idealistic schemes that the designers of such fail to anticipate.

I don't think this is correct. It is 100% not correct in the EU and I doubt people in the countries where US foreign policy is more heavy-handed – you know, murdering people from the air without trial and all that – actually believe in substantial policy changes after the election. I am pretty sure many fear more of the bad stuff.

Its called freedom of speech/expression. Article 19 of the universal declaration of human rights uses very similar words

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference..."

The idea is pretty traceable through the middle ages with also reference to ancient greece and rome often given. However it holds less weight now as it has been brought to bear by problematic issues of slander/libel and also threats of violence particularly but also by state issues (sedition/blasphemy/obscenity/state secrets etc.). Today even pure 'offense' is more and more considered outside of freedom of expression.

Probably the truest implementation however is in english parliament which has had defined freedom of speech dating back to their middle ages bill of rights. This hasnt been fettered in the same way.
It would definitely be wrong to fire or sever all ties with someone for supporting, say, George W. Bush. On the other hand, it would be appropriate to do so if said person supported Hitler.

So the question is where you put Donald Trump on that spectrum. Personally, I think he's much closer to an authoritarian populist than to a regular politician.

You may disagree with Trump's placement on that axis, but I find it very strange to see so many people in this thread arguing that punishing someone for their political position is always wrong, no matter how vile or dangerous said political position is.
It seems like most people want YC to cut Thiel off, which would be very similar to that. David Heinemeier Hansson and Ellen Pao have advocated for virtually that exact scenario.
I sympathize with your sentiment, but I don't agree with your conclusion. Opening the door for the government to regulate opinions about the government seems, on its face, ripe for abuse of power.

If we had wise angels permanently running the government, we could dispose of many precautions. But, since we don't, we should try to have laws where we would be safe from oppression even if our worst enemy took power.
Which was also regrettable.
Right, since that can't possibly be the point, then the point is to demonstrate moral outrage at someone's political position by proxy of YC?
I agree; I don't know why everyone hasn't flagged this already.

There isn't actually anything wrong with burning carbon fuels that are derived from atmospheric carbon - it's a net neutral.
I don't get the point of this.
We already have a self propagating machine that can turn carbon dioxide into a useful carbon substrate that is stable over long time periods, and is a thoroughly proven carbon sequestration technology. It's called a tree.
Thiel doesn't even get equity in YC. Thiel's participation in YC is almost literally just a marketing tactic --- it's a co-endorsement. We're telling Altman: rethink the endorsement.
A wiseman once told me: "If you have to hold a key to reach your goal, there is probably a better (i.e. shorter) way to do it."
I don't think it's about an extreme difficulty with choosing clothing. I think daily life's improvements happen in between the lines; series of small decisions we can make that have a larger effect on us when taken together. It's about freeing up space little by little as opposed to monumental changes (which are much more challenging to implement and maintain).
Criticism is not "interference".
I agree.

Uber et al may be harming the taxi business, but my friends and I only took taxis if we had to in our town because they were hard to find, and generally sucked. Now we Uber to go out because it is so convenient. Another friends car broke down and he just never replaced it. He didn't drive that much anyway, and Uber satisfied his need for a car. He would have never done that with the traditional, unreliable taxi in my town.

Uber has definitely expanded the number of people who take a driver service. I wonder if anyone has done any statistical studies around DUIs and Uber coming into a town.

I don't know if you followed what happened to the Atheist community in the US, but its downfall was essentially the kind of witch hunt you're trying to incite. The level of virtue signaling demanded gradually increases until no one is left in the community. This invariably happens because the question you're asking ("does intolerant belief X threaten society?") has no absolute answer, so there is always a higher level of purity to declare a community standard.

When I was younger I used to watch The Daily Show and laugh at how dumb the conservatives where -- they were trying to suppress rock and roll for fear of the devil's influence, etc. As I grew older I came to realize it wasn't conservatives generally who were the awful/dumb ones, it was a particular kind of person in a context where they felt they could dictate to others what was ethically right. Moral fashion police if you will.

I've lately seen more and more Moral Fashion Police on the democratic side of the isle, and I find it considerably more awful (it's closer to home). You might even say that I view these people as intolerant to the point that they threaten society.

However I wouldn't in a million years fire someone or yell at them, hate them, etc for being fashion police, even though I think they threaten society. Experience is the best teacher, and sometimes a person needs to make mistakes / destroy something beautiful in order to find the next level of understanding. Maybe for you that means destroying YC (though I hope you fail), and maybe for Trump voters that means (in a small way) destroying the US Government. I just wish you both wouldn't.
Because they are effectively turning into a mini-os.

The whole container hype is an offshot of the VM hype from a few years back, that was all about running multiple, apparently separate, servers on shared hardware. This by doing the OS and server installs into VM images that would be managed by hypervisors (effectively a stripped down OS that only existed to run VMs).

The VM approach have certain issues with overhead, as you are running multiple kernels and user spaces stacked on top of each other, with the underlying CPU spending time pretending to be whatever hardware the VM is presenting to the OS within it.

Thus you get containers, a chroot on steroids that is claiming to bring some of the benefits of VM (less idle hardware, thus getting all the accountants hot and bothered) but with reduced overhead. This by having the containers share kernel and general userspace.

Frankly we keep adding turtles to the stack.

We start out with a single cpu running a single process.

Then we stack multiple cpus into racks.

Then we implement timeshare so that each cpu can run multiple processes.

Then we virtualize the cpu into a process, that in turn are timesharing processes.

All this because hardware takes up space and electricity even while idle, but software do not. Thus the more software you can run on a single piece of hardware the "better".
Sounds like "Sales Safari" from Amy Hoy :)

I tried this with industries I deemed interesting, but found out it wasn't that easy. Most easy wins were already solved. Then I was stuck with getting deeper and extrapolating pains they might have but don't see, etc.

That's speaking of lack of interference from the government not from your fellow citizens. Everyone has the right to criticize whom ever they choose and do business with whom ever they choose, for any reason they choose. No government should have the right to enforce interference based on believes.
I believe that if everybody fired anyone because of Political views, 40% of the American people would lose their jobs. It sets a dangerous precedent.
Nothing anywhere gave you the right to have a "discussion about bigger issues" without "being painted" as anything. You will find no legal foundation for that entitlement in the US Constitution, nor will you find a philosophical foundation for it anywhere in the theory of liberal democracy.

You have a right to express your views, and I have a right to criticize them. Both rights are inalienable.
