No, the video is saying that if the coin spawner were in the usual location (above ground) it would work fine. It postulates that this was an oversight: at one point the ground was raised (to provide a ramp for the bowling balls) and they forgot to raise the spawner with it.
My understanding is that Amazon doesn't break out the AWS revenue separately so it is quite hard to gauge.

> I try to sneak in a small share of web browsing on working days.

I personally find that the time I spend distracted on the internet does not rejuvenate my brain. To actually do this I need to sleep, go for a walk, build something physical, or hang out with friends. YMMV, but you should take some time to examine yourself and discover what genuinely refreshes you.
From the article:

"The Internet has been one of the great equalizers in human history and a real accelerator of innovation. But the increasing consolidation of control is a threat to that.

"IPFS remains true to the original vision of the open and flat web, but delivers the technology which makes that vision a reality."

This presents IPFS as the technological cure for the "consolidation of control" that threatens the Internet.

These are not purely technical problems.
Just because a device is deemed to be 'secure' one day, doesn't mean there aren't hidden vulnerabilities and therefore in the future it will be deemed as 'insecure'. How would you manage that after the hardware has shipped and is on the shelves?
It gives a false impression of security if you simplify it to a sticker on a box. Plus it's not exactly hard for a device to put a false label or counterfeit in some way.

All hardware should follow basic security principles, it shouldn't be something you can grade on. If there's been an issue then the company should be rightly called out, which seems to have happened in this case.

If you're developing a desktop-only app (or you're making a native app for the mobile frontend) ES6 works pretty well.

At least I haven't received any complaint yet, and if you can optimize early on without any short-term cost then it's the best thing you can do.

Thank god Chrome and Firefox dominate the market.
This is the same CYA attitude that I have been assuming the last 2 years because it's such a frequent occurrence.

The only issue is that I still get blamed. I don't know how many times I've repeated this scenario:

1. I highlight gap / issue in code.

2. Team says, "Need to ship; we'll accept the risk"

3. During go-live, fecal matter hits fan because of aforementioned gap in code.

4. Everyone acts surprised.

5. I point out that I mentioned it 2 months ago.

6. Everyone makes excuses / claims they don't remember it that way / moves on to burn down another project.

7. I'm left to clean up a mess / have taken a hit to my reputation.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...
Congratulations Garry!

A few questions.

1. An obvious question is: Why start out on your own rather than via YC as you've done for a while and seems to have succeeded for you.

2. Would you actively seek investments from outside the United States? As you may well know, emerging markets are gaining a load of attention. In 3 months Nigeria would have hosted Zuckerberg, YCombinator and 500 Startups. (You're always welcome :D)

3. What's the investment thesis of Initialized. Didn't see an Investment Thesis on the website.

Congratulations and all the best!

PS: Not sure if you remember me but you were in the panel that interviewed me for YC in Summer 2014
Use packer for EVERYTHING https://www.packer.io/ => better tools + avoid locking

As a benefit, you use ansible/chef/puppet for the installation and configuration (instead of Dockerfile). You can reuse your scripts.

As a benefit, you generate any output DockerImage/AWS-AMI/VmWare/VirtualBox. You have more flexibility. (e.g. Make an AMI for auto scaling groups + make a docker image for test environment).

The mandate is weak enough that there are still healthy individuals who aren't covered by company plans who are choosing not to buy insurance. [ADDED: And there's a fair bit of concern that the number of these individuals will rise as rates go up, driving further rate increases, in what's often called a "death spiral.]

There are non-employer group plans for certain types of insurance e.g. through something like the IEEE but generally not for healthcare AFAIK.

With respect to disability--leaving aside that an exam won't find all pre-existing conditions such as joint problems--there's still adverse selection. The people who would even apply for disability insurance are a higher risk pool (probably older for one thing) than the working population as a whole or all employees working at a large company.
Yes, this is true of eventually consistent systems. The question is a) what does "eventually" mean (replication takes seconds, minutes, or hours?), b) what time delta do you expect for most transaction requests, and c) what is the risk of being temporarily wrong?

Seems to me that a bank could answer these questions as well as any other business, and build a system that works within the answers.
I already see your comment turning gray for daring to suggest a role for regulation here. Sorry people, if your company releases a negligently insecure IoT device into the world in any sort of quantity, you are a polluter.
> 4a/ As part of those culture wars, some people do things that step over the line. Like actual brigading. It's like when you have impassioned protests, and 1% of the protesters on both sides decide they are going to burn a store or car.

This is applicable to nearly every online argument. You can find the media bias when sites chose to focus entirely on one side and ignore documented evidence of their own side engaging in the same behavior.

The Creepiest Pictures on the Internet
Hey HN!

I'm Denis, one of the people working on Mediachain! We're really excited to launch Mediachain Attribution Engine today!

We think it's the best image search engine for creators. You can find free, high quality images that you can share and re-use, with attribution automatically baked in.

Mediachain Attribution Engine makes it easy to find a great image that you can feel good about sharing or using in your blog post, presentation, website, etc.

You can upload any image from the web to find out who made it and where it came from. If Attribution Engine doesn’t know the creator, it’ll suggest visually similar images that are licensed for re-use and give credit to the author.

Attribution Engine is the first application powered by decentralized, open data in Mediachain and is built on top of the newly launched protocol architecture (v1.0).

Creators can sign up to register works and developers can use the data in their own apps, or contribute directly to Attribution Engine by following our quick start guide.

Learn more on our blog!

Hi Garry. I've invested in over 100 YC startups (mostly through Wefunder/FundersClub/Angel.co). Can I invest in your fund? Obviously I believe in the business model. If not where else should I be investing?
Have used it in production and it's amazing.

Have you tried Minify(Babili) by the way?
That seems very unlikely over the next decade at least.
The logical answer to this, which is what we're seeing in the US, is to tie every device to the corporate backend servers.

This does a few things.

1. Secures endpoints down
2. Chains users to company
3. Makes cloners hard to copy product, given server based logic

Hell, Google and Microsoft can't even bother to keep up products or their DRM up for any length of time. But again, users are willing to rent chained devices like the Nest.

Is work getting accomplished? Seems like there should be weekly milestones that can be tested. As for personal commitments versus the startup, your company should be your number one priority for 5-10 years. if you won't commit to it who will? Does that mean you can't take breaks/vacations sure once your responsibilities are completed.
If you're designing furniture, cars, or clothing where every centimetre counts, sure, but in general practice that's almost irrelevant.

Does this affect things like who you should invite to a party? What effect does this have on ordinary life?

Up until shortly before Clinton won the nomination, you would find a mix of anti-Trump, anti-Clinton, and a bit of pro-Clinton stories on /r/politics, but that quickly shifted to be almost exclusively anti-Trump and pro-Clinton stories.

Here's Tim O'Reilly making the case that Alexa is in a different class (from a UX perspective) than Google or Apple's AI assistants:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-would-alexa-do-tim-o-rei...

I think the point about Alexa's great interactivity coming from having to build for a device with no screen is a strong one. Though I think that the best AI-driven UIs in the future will have to bridge the gap and be able to display content usefully on a screen (or many screens), while also preserving that concept of knowing what the current context is (i.e. "skip" means "skip the track" if I have music playing, but might refer to a different app if I have youtube running).
Twelve years $158,000.

Not worth it. But plan your surgeries and up the coverage for that year. That strategy can work (not dental)

Even with a high out of pocket it is smart.
I don't think it's a terminology problem. In fact, "let" and "const" are probably the right terms. Both are descriptive and exist in other programming languages.

Because they don't want to be. And who's going to make them?

Why don't they want to be? Because they don't see any value in being in a union.

And why don't they see any value? Perhaps because unions are bureaucratic, and programmers hate bureaucracy. Why would they want to have to deal with another one?
However, in the 19th century, obtaining thicker strings was not that easy. Manufacturing of strings was a complicated procedure, so rather than changing the manufacturing process, it was much easier to tune the same strings to a higher pitch to increase tension and thus improve the sound.

Worth noting that today's strings are made from steel and nylon, as opposed to gut.
More like the Republicans and Democrats throwing out President Hillary and a few of her buddies for having Tea Party protestors shot.

The worst part of Obamacare for me is the individual mandate. It essentially raises taxes on working class people or forces them to buy a high deductible plan that is of little use to them. The poor get a subsidy and the wealthy need not worry about preexisting conditions. The working class just gets screwed.
That part is surprisingly easy if you architect it right. The core abstraction most banks use is your "available balance" and the fact that they can reconcile on a longer time period than seconds.
>No one in Washington or Beijing with diplomatic credentials and contact with the other side even knows what DNS is or that there was an attack on Friday.

They have advisors that sure as hell know exactly what is going on here. This is a very naive view of how government works. Diplomates don't need to know what code is to make policy. Chinese bureaucrats certainly know that pissing off their biggest trade and manufacturing partner isn't good for their economy.

This was a very high-profile attack. Pretty much every intelligence agency in the world has notified their higher-ups on what likely happened and the hammer most definitely fell on this company. Chinese businesses aren't exactly known for their good corporate personas and generosity. See baby and dog poisonings and desperate reactions by the government like executing executives. On top of the everyday IP infringements and other cavalier attitudes towards international business norms.
Has one of the GPs directly invested in each of the startups listed on the "About Us" page or are some of those startups listed because of an advisory relationship or indirect investment (e.g. carried interest)?
> I don't know what Amazon does for AI

The Alexa/echo ecosystem.

> However it's tough to beat Google in this space...they also have a lot of data on users...

Agreed, the amount of data is key. This is where Apple will struggle when looking to upgrade Siri/AI capabilities in coming years.

> Tim Cook's Apple is making a stand for privacy and security, which is actually quite rare to witness in this day and age. He's a man with principles and for this I appreciate him a lot

Privacy and security (and, secondarily, a full physical keyboard) was Blackberry's key differentiator before they lost to the touchscreen-enabled iPhone app ecosystem.

Now that competitor's offerings are becoming more powerful (hardware) and refined (software), and the smartphone market is close to saturation in advanced economies, Apple needs a non-technical differentiator. Security/privacy is the perfect talking point.

I have no reason to believe that Tim Cook is acting in the interest of users ("a man with principles") while marketing Apple products as private and secure; rather, he is acting in the interest of shareholders, as he should be given that he is the CEO of a public company. Happily, user and shareholder interests seem to be mostly aligned at the moment - Apple can sell more phones if people trust the brand.

If it makes more financial sense in the future to ditch user privacy (in order to get closer with Facebook & Microsoft so as to compete with Google), he probably will. But don't expect to hear an announcement about it until the info is leaked. It's impossible to truly discern the character of a public company's CEO because they are always acting, and tons of things happen within their organizations without their knowledge.
> (discussing mod actions was against the rules)

To be fair, I think that's a bad rule. Any type of government – even when it's something small like the moderator team of an internet forum – should have some accountability towards the people it governs.

Is it just me, or is Javascript (and more generally, all front end technology) more susceptible to these trivial holy wars?

While I agree that const/let is a useful convention for communicating mutability, it isn't nearly a big enough deal to warrant the attention it receives from the community.

It's not just const/let; I rarely make a front end PR that isn't bike-shedded to death over subjective styling choices, single quotes vs double quotes, etc. It often feels like conforming to flavor-of-the-week, subjective decrees from frontend trendsetters is more important than the substantive work that your code is doing.
> there is higher cognitive overhead

In my experience, the opposite is the case. If I can offload some checks to my tooling, I don't have to be constantly performing them mentally. And with type inference at a repl, I can ask about the shape of things that can't possibly run yet (though I don't think I get that with C#).
> strict restrictions like single process per container

Oh boy. Have you seen phusion/baseimage ? It supports boot time init scripts and then uses runit to let you add as many daemons as you want. It even has a "Wait, I thought Docker is about running a single process in a container?" brief chapter in the readme.

I was for a while thinking of the case where Apple bought NeXT, but Gil Amelio and later Ellen Hancock stayed as CEO. While PC margins was declining, I was thinking that Apple could mostly focus on the higher-end PC and workstation markets. I wonder how this would have compared to Tim Cook.
Every once in a while I like to think about the evolution of sites like forums, slashdot, digg, Reddit, HN, etc... And what could be done to improve them, mainly from a technical rather than social aspect (such as the way voting works, how 'good' vs 'bad' comments are rewarded). Aside from r/theoryofreddit (which seems mostly focused on Reddit drama), are there other communities that discuss the creation and improvement of social networks?

On a technical front it has influenced their hardware decisions, forcing adoption for example of MACSec, adding some minor capital cost. Mostly though the cost has been in the resulting data sovereignty laws forcing them to set up sovereign clouds in places like Germany, UK, Canada, etc. I can tell you this makes a real mess of things - you can't share your management infrastructure or anything across the infrastructures. In Germany you are using remote hands to do everything because they have to be Germans. Etc.

Let's also not forget that a significant part of this hasn't even kicked in yet, the so-called Cadillac Tax has been kicked down the road, but is potentially enormous. Those who pay the most for their health care plan are going to be heavily taxed to subsidize everyone else. So as much as the current plan rate hikes are unbelievable, it's still going to get much worse before it (maybe) gets better.
Apple does appear to be losing focus.

For example:

Apple has devalued the PRO moniker under Tim Cook's guidance.

By trying to ram it's Mobile OS into a PRO product (iPad PRO). I mean the UI grid is still 4 x 5 on a massive 12 inch display. Nobody noticed it feels more like Fisher Price? And the iPad "PRO" apps are all dumbed down, feature limited versions of actual pro desktop apps.

Then, by stagnating a once well regarded PRO product, the Macbook PRO, they further eroded the PRO moniker. Did they delay significant updates to the Macbook PRO to see if existing users would eventually give the iPad PRO a try first? Or did they simply want to drive Desktop OS marketshare back to Windows?

And what about the slim Macbook with a fancy new port (USB-C) that's still not available on any other Macbook, even 1.5+ years later!!!? Yes, that's exactly how you devalue the PRO moniker. By releasing new, cutting edge tech on your consumer products first. And then wait years before adding that tech to your PRO line (I know, the new Macbook PRO is rumoured to ONLY have USB-C ... sigh).

Don't even get started on the Mac PRO. Ya, that ridiculously underpowered, overpriced PRO computer that you forgot about, that looks like a NYC subway trash can. https://www.google.com/search?q=nyc+subway+trash+can&tbm=isc... Talk about an awesome PRO design.

Talk about losing focus.
