I'm also not sure that I believe that there is a transferable organizational expertise between integrating hardware and software on mobile phones and integrating hardware and software on self-driving cars.

Seriously, what does that look like? What are the attributes of a person who is good at integrating hardware and software on a phone, and who also is good at integrating hardware and software on a self-driving car? Your example was jerkiness in acceleration and deceleration. The people who are good at mitigating jerkiness in acceleration and deceleration are presumably mechanical engineers and roboticists/AI guys. I don't think that any of those people have been involved in Apple's flagship, reputation-making products so far.

As you allude to, it's easy to say "do the same thing but better." If all you needed was a product guy who was like, "Hey, we should make this better," then it would already be solved.
Wow thank you.

Yes my goal is to hit 20k/month just to cover my basic expenses, at which point nearly 100% of my income can go towards my accounts. I'm 23 right now making $100k USD (in Canada it's around $125k). Expenses are $1500/mo, rest just sits in the bank.

I figure if I keep working until I'm 40 (my cutoff age), it'll be much loftier. I also don't plan to live past 65 for personal reasons.

When I say 'retire' I really just mean ROI covers life expenses in full, otherwise my sub <20k/year expense lifestyle will do until I die. I still plan on working, just putting all that money into savings.

With this new information, how would you adjust your plan? Also can you please clarify the @50 and @40? Do you mean 50% and 40% respectively?

Thanks.
No, he absolutely is not. He is acting as a giant crybaby, and he will continue doing so after the election, with disastrous consequences.
For instance one of the first things to do is set incsearch for incrimental search as you type out search terms, the way every modern web browser, IDE, and emacs work. Also I think using 'set hidden' should be a good default for pretty much everyone.
This is a really good point. HRC isn't necessarily good for Wikileaks, but Trump would conceivably be a lot, lot worse.

Perhaps the idea is that they might get off easier if Trump feels Wikileaks gave him an election present, but I find that to be a high risk gamble, especially at this point. That said, the argument could perhaps just as easily be made if they leaked a bunch of Trump stuff too.

I don't think anyone can really determine motives at this point with the current base of information.
Which party has a stronger record of LGBT support? According to a recent report by the Pew Research Center[1], as recently as this year, only 33% of republicans supported gay marriage. I'm certainly not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but what I'm really voting for is the Democrat party. This means keeping another Scalia out of the supreme court, and forcing the Republicans to take a long hard look at themselves, and really evaluate where they stand as a party.

Agreed. The post is so devoid of any context about where this would fit in a program that it's hard to tell what the author was attempting to convey.

It's absolutely inappropriate as a starting point for either CS or SE.
I think those are called "safe spaces". /s

On a serious note, discussion of the Thiel/Trump topic has been flagged and reposted many times this past weekend and finally permitted to remain on the front page. The HN commenter community has been overwhelmingly interested in a statement from YC regarding this controversy. I share your wish that political party advocacy stay off of the HN front page. Yet we were both drawn to this article and commented on it. I don't know the right solution to this.
Shh, you're upsetting the HN anti-US circlejerk.

Its incredible how we're living in a time of private space companies, the soon to be flying SLS, and potential manned Mars landings sooner than later and people still think a quick and ugly flight to a LEO space station is the height of human civilization. Let the whiners have their moment, soon the progressive thinkers and visionaries will break from LEO and not having LEO lifting capabilities for a few years won't matter, not that it does now anyway. The same way no one bemoans the time between Apollo and the STS.
This is a wonderful and frightening summary of what makes fascism so superficially attractive and easy to slip into. Another point relevant to the current debate:

For Ur-Fascism, disagreement is treason.

Those on both sides of this debate who seek to silence and ostracise their opponents should rethink that position.
>within these barriers an author may write what he pleases; but woe to him if he goes beyond them.

This has been more recently termed as the "Overton Window"

> I have to presume he's done the same sort of analysis (he's not an idiot, he's well educated and successful so he's done something right along the way)

Being well educated and successful doesn't mean he acts rationally at all time. Some persons get extremely passionate and dogmatic when it comes to politics. I'm just speculating but maybe Trump's personality and style appeals to him in an irresistible way.
Ok, I looked up your project and it seems to be a job scheduling system for Ruby. Kudos to you, but I had a look at the feature table, and the "multi-process" feature is only available in the paid edition.

IMHO this is the main problem with open-core and it is a really tough decision you have to make - is multi-process a standard feature or not? Because ultimately I would have guessed it is a fundamental feature of a job scheduling system (assuming long-running tasks) and one could say it is even at the core of a scheduling system.

Don't take this the wrong way, I applaud everybody who finds a way to develop meaningful FOSS (and a reliable working background job scheduling system is not a walk in the park) and getting paid for it, so good luck with it!
Thanks for the link, it definitely gives me something to ponder over.
If someone working for or with YC makes or supports racist and sexist speech, it could easily lead to YC losing credibility among entrepreneurs that aren't white men (and to be fair, among white men as well). In my opinion, that could disqualify him as a partner.
"He’ll stop making dependence on government pay better than working for a living. He’ll build an economy that will help create the jobs people need to break the chain of poverty that keeps people dependent on government."

Dependency on government pay isn't the government's problem. It's the economies problem. If you're going to tell roughly half of all American's you're only going to give them a job that pays $8/hr with no health insurance or vacation time then be prepared to have that offer shoved up your ass. It's 2016. If 90% of your companies payroll goes to 2% of it's staff but your secretary can't afford her car insurance maybe we should be looking at instituting a maximum wage instead of forlothing the minimum wage and cutting back on welfare (which is pennies on the dollar compared to what banks, telecoms, and pharmas get in subsidies). If Trumpeters want to be taken seriously they should get out some textbooks and educate themselves rather than just throwing their half-baked and decades old conservative values at everyone hoping it sticks.
"Soyuz: A Universal Spacecraft" by Hall and Shayler is a good read.
This sounds like the type of thing that is being advocated against. Telling a large section of the country that what they feel is not true. I'm not certain from what vantage that statement could ever accurately be made.

I certainly wouldn't try this tact with your significant other.
As an outsider, I am having troubles understanding why the Democrats put against Trump the only candidate who had a poor enough track record to make this election "interesting". Why didn't they choose Sanders who is not as vulnerable as Hilton? By they I mean the Democrat elite.

Does Sam also endorse the DNC 'consultants' who are paid to incite violence at Trump rallies?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IuJGHuIkzY
So long as you're not endorsing Javascript, it's fine... we're all friends here.

May your vote bring you everything you hope for in proportion to the extent it is made wisely and with only good intentions in your heart.
No, objectively. Granted sama doesn't provide detailed references, but you can find factual backing for statements such as these ones easily if you look:

"A Trump presidency would be a disaster for the American economy."

"He has no real plan to restore economic growth."

"His racist, isolationist policies would divide our country, and American innovation would suffer"

"He's erratic, abusive, and prone to fits of rage. He represents a real threat to the safety of women, minorities, and immigrants."

"Trump shows little respect for the Constitution"
Is there a way for the mods to protect the post from user flags? Normally, user flags are a good thing. That doesn't seem to be true in this case, though.

It's not really fair to hang someone by what you infer from a truthful statement. You could say "Ending slavery caused enormous economic problems for the south" without supporting slavery. In reading the full context of what he said, it doesn't seem to me that he's implying we should take away women's suffrage.

My reading of what he said is more akin to recognition of a marketing problem. That he thinks libertarians haven't presented themselves sufficiently well towards women, and there is room for improvement there.
Disregarding any issues surrounding the author of this piece, Theil himself, and a cornucopia of issues surrounding the RNC keynote, I must ask one question: Why is political speech only an issue when that speech comes from the political right?

This isn't a modern thing, either. I've never seen anyone claim Brendan Eich didn't have a right to donate to his cause, it's just that he donated to the wrong cause, at least in they eyes of the media and the Twitterverse, of all places. Here, we're seeing it again with Thiel: he has the right to donate to whatever cause he wants, but we criticize him for donating to the wrong causes.

For all the talk of cultural and gender diversity, political diversity is shunned. This is far more pernicious than criticizing a startup because they haven't hired enough women or PoC
There's a recent discussion here https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1871816-good-dns-host... about DNS providers and why using for instance CloudFlare DNS rather than your registrar's DNS servers is a good idea.

TLDR: Hover is a domain reseller and DNS provider who a few days ago suffered a DDoS attack which disrupted everyone who was using their DNS servers. Hopefully if you had your domain registered with Hover, but used CloudFlare DNS you'd not have experienced any disruption.
What would the point of software development be if it weren't uniquely constructed? We already have the technology to make copies. I'm not sure where you're going with this.
Great discussion to be had, but you seem to be working this towards a slippery slope argument that if we don't choose to do business with billionaires to give millions and stump at the RNC convention, it won't be long before we're firing 43% of the workforce.

I can accept that YC may choose not to cut Mr. Thiel loose, but I'm not convinced that there is a moral imperative not to cut him loose.
I'm surprised people on HN are so naive to quickly dismiss Trump because of what he says. Politicians wanting to get elected will say anything to win. After they get elected everything changes. This applies many times to politicians promising the world and then delivering very little but will also happen to politicians promising crazy things and then delivering little. Talk is cheap. Once you are elected you realize it's not so easy as you thought to bring changes, good or bad.
Haha you know it :)
Historical context.
Trump is a new player in politics, whereas Hillary represents business as usual.

Hillary means more drone strikes, corporate appeasment, global interventions, weapon sales to Saudi Arabia, and a complete lack of transparency into government.

I will not vote for a candidate that represents so much of what is wrong with this country, solely becuase she wants me to believe the other guy is worse.

Fear tactics are the last resort of tyrants, my mind was made up after the DNC Leaks.
> If money is speech [...] and [someone donates money to a] campaign, then [they effectively are] saying what [the candidate] is saying.

No, they're just saying they support that candidate. Maybe they support every position they hold, but that's not a corollary. Maybe they just really dislike the alternative candidates, and maybe they made this decision solely based on comparing two candidates on a single issue.

This rant isn't directed at you (or the article for that matter), but I have a disdain for people who decry single-issue voters. For whatever reason, being a single-issue voter is seen as this taboo that any educated and cultured individual ought to stay away from. I think that's bullshit, especially in a political realm as polarized as ours. In my eyes, there's nothing "wrong" with being a single issue voter. For any given individual, certain topics in politics affect them disproportionately. The idea that people shouldn't account for that when making their decision comes entirely from an ego-driven world of journalists, politicians, and academics who need to convince themselves that they consider politics from a hilltop, above and beyond the mere peasants who only care about themselves and their personal life.

And to bring this back to the topic at hand, if you agree with what I'm saying about single-issue voting, I think it's inconsistent to think that it reflects personally on someone to support Trump.

If you are a single issue voter that is:

* against foreign intervention
* concerned about the federal budget
* against the ACA
* against common core and the department of education
* for allowing marijuana legalization by individual states
* etc. etc. etc.

You might find yourself supporting Trump. And you still might not like what he says sometimes. And you might not be a horrible person to your core.
VeraCrypt's on-disk format is NOT compatible with TrueCrypt's on-disk format,they are two totally different things and must be handled differently.

VeraCrypt binary application can unlock TrueCrypt volumes but CAN NOT create them.The application has a setting to default to TrueCrypt volumes and hence if all you do is unlocking your TrueCrypt volumes,you can conveniently use VeraCrypt to unlock your TrueCrypt volumes.

I think it will be better if you switch to VeraCrypt and set this option.Alternative "native linux" tool you could use to manage your TrueCrypt volumes in linux is zuluCrypt[3].

EncFS has its own issues[1] and there are a number of new projects that seeks to replace it and SiriKali[2] is a GUI tool to manage all these newer tools.

"Trump, when questioned what he would do if he found out an employee was gay said "it makes no difference"."

That's an -odd- comparison. One is about gay marriage, and one is about people being gay.

Trump is perfectly capable of having no issue with someone being gay AND being against their right to marriage.

And realistically? What's worse for you as a gay person - Donald's -personal- beliefs, or those he advocates as a policy?

http://www.politifact.com/new-york/statements/2016/aug/14/se...

Besides, Trump has said a lot of things that contradict other things he's said, and gay marriage is one of those:

"I am not in favor of gay marriage."

For someone affected by such things, you really should be more informed.
Yeah, Clinton's side is all rainbows and ponies. This whole post is about Clinton's side wanting to throw Thiel out because of his views! Like happened to Eich. That doesn't clear Trump in any way, but don't you see both sides are the same? That's the problem!
endorsing hillary because of claims that Trump is "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic..." must be the very definition of a low-information voter. you have the knowledge of the world at your fingertips and wikileaks is giving you direct view into the inner workings of the dnc.

i don't understand how engineers that were horrified by the wage-fixing pacts of apple, google, etc. can vote for open-borders. is this the tech version of 'everyone thinks they will be rich someday'? at this rate we will end up in childless marriages with flatmates.

some serious gaslighting going on.
don't let them steal your future :(
What you did with that border radius on the mustache icon is so slick! I had no idea the border-radius could be made to curl up beyond the top of the shape like that. And then making mirrored circles out of a box-shadow, that is tidy!

I tip my hat and raise a glass to you, you're a great artist.
Meta notes on the comments so far

1. YC banning companies that supported SOPA was a mistake. I'm sure they now acknowledge that.

2. Mr Thiel donating $1M does not mean he believes or endorses in everything Trump stands for or says. I don't happen to agree he should have made the donation, but please use common sense.

3. Mr Altman used his personal blog not the YC blog. This is important. But the line is blurred between this being a personal statement or a statement on behalf of a corporation (YC).

4. Nobody should be persecuted or fired a political belief that a large part of a country endorses. This point is clearly stated and easily defended. Those attacking it should have a deep think about representative democracy - both the good parts and bad. Representative democracy is a decent, practical system but it is not perfect and America's flavor of it could do with a lot of refinement. This election cycle should make that pretty clear to the average HN reader.
Project Include is disassociating with YC because YC is associated with Peter Thiel who is associated with Donald Trump who advocates hatred and violence.

Are we to draw a principle from this? Is PI arguing that dissociation from those who advocate hatred and violence is not only a moral imperative, but transitive?

What about all the CEOs of YC companies? Are they obligated to disassociate? If they don't, are we as customers obligated to dissociate from them? If we don't, are the people in our lives obligated to disassociate from us?

As far as I can tell, this post contains no explicit generalizable principle for imperative disassociation. Probably because that's a really hard thing to create.

What's easy is taking a strong stand on a hyper-specific situation where the bad guys are caricatures and your target audience already agrees with you. It's just not very interesting.
Can't the list in a blacklist be defined by intension (like the set of people who support Trump), or does it have to be by extension (like the set of people whose name is on a literal list)?
Tongue-in-cheek: President Bill Clinton later apologized for the bombing, stating it was accidental. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_bombing_of_the_C...

> Manually run the update check every 2-3 days and run it again two hours before the presentation. Any updates that come out in that two hour window will allow you at least one delay.

OK, it's possible to work around if you take special care. No one should have to pay that much attention to their update schedule.

> Keep your OS up to date and, surprisingly enough, you won't have any problems caused by it being not up to date.

The problem isn't caused by the machine being not up to date. It's caused by Microsoft requiring forced updates. The computer doing something disruptive that I didn't ask it to do is something that I associate with malicious software; it shouldn't be something that I expect from my OS.

> EDIT: May I also remind everyone that your corporate IT security policy almost certainly requires you to keep the OS on your work PCs up to date?

They do. I typically have 2 weeks of warning, and the chance to update anytime within that time period. I am warned repeatedly as the day approaches that the computer will restart on its own. Patch sets are released monthly, so it's not particularly onerous.
Fiber in the ground is a long term investment. The old copper might have been there for decades, and it is getting pretty much a dead end as far as tech goes. Sure, gigabit now seems overkill for average consumer, but how about in ten years time? How about twenty years?

Of course those decade old copper networks do not just magically maintain themselves in perfect order. I believe that in many fiber deployment cases the local network was already due for some sort of major operation, due just general flakiness, low speed, or poor availability. Fixing that is expensive no matter how you do it, and it really wouldn't make sense to lay down new copper anymore these days if you can avoid it.

There is one major consumer application for gigabit-scale internet: self-hosting. Gigabit internet is one key factor in enabling people to move away from massive clouds to personal services. Combine this with the common NAS boxes, device whose popularity is already being fueled by light ssd-powered laptops, and it is not that farfetched to see something like sandstorm to really take off.
> He no longer has the authority to disinvite Thiel.

He still has significant influence with YC, and has so far refused to personally distance himself from Thiel despite raging against Trump on twitter (a fact over which he's been taken to task by the likes of @pinboard and tptacek).
Not gonna put words into someone else's mouth, but here it is from my perspective: We come to the opinions we have based on the experiences we have, and everybody has different experiences. Equally as true is the opinions that don't form due to the experiences we don't have.

One example I have from someone I disagree with. It was a rich kid about to fully take over his father's company via inheritance, who agreed vehemently with trickle down economics. From his perspective, he created jobs (I'd at least agree with that much). The way that he created jobs was by investing resources on new profitable projects that required labor. In his perspective, how could he ever create more jobs by constraining his resources? He couldn't, but that is exactly the point (someone else creates the jobs, not him). He couldn't see the alternative of government enabling new jobs because the entire sum of his life experience portrayed government as a barrier to investment, not as an enabler of opportunity. The simple fact that he never had to rely on the government as an enabler of opportunity blinded him to the possibility that it could use his resources more efficiently than he could.

I'd consider his opinion falsifiable, but his perspective valid. I would never in a million years be able to tell him his perspective was wrong.
There were many solutions very similar to Docker, but you have to agree that they made some essential things the right way - UnionFS (e.g. OverlayFS), standardized way of building containers (Dockerfiles) and the right timing.
