This is very true, and is the case with many 'laws'. Another example is with centre of masses: Take a hollow sphere, clearly the c.o.m. should be in the very middle, yet an object placed inside has not force whatsoever on it so it isn't attracted to the c.o.m. and the idea breaks down (NB objects outside are attracted predictably).

This is because this idea is purely a tool to make calculations of large groups of particles as easy as one, but it does break down occasionally.
Interesting. This makes sense. So I guess the content owner / "Licensor" is the problem here, and not Youtube. Good to know.
Basically W3C tries to define versioned HTML specifications, but they basically follow what browsers actually implement and are always out of date. WHATWG maintain a "living standard" and is really what browser vendors actually work with because it doesn't attempt the slow and futile task of defining a 'stable' versioned spec.

Something like that anyway.
Thank you for the nice response.

I may have used too harsh a tone in my earlier message, so I apologize if you felt attacked.

If you are tracking HN referrals with a special URL, you wouldn't have known I came from HN. I found your site and the Careers link from a Hacker News post that was not a hiring advertisement. Maybe you could allow people to self-identify their affiliation instead.

Unfortunately, I see no benefit I might gain by reaching out to you directly. I have posted a negative review of your company's hiring process in a public forum. If I was interested in applying for your current or future openings, that probably wouldn't help my case.

I'm happy to have helped identify any issues with your process, and again apologize for the tone in my previous post.
There is one good reason to keep the status quo (death penalty without any actual deaths) which is that anyone given a death sentence gets their case extensively reviewed and appealed by excellent lawyers working pro bono. The people who get life get no help at all.

I have read of prisioners being upset when given a life sentence as they know that no one will help them appeal their conviction. If you are innocent you want to be given a death sentence since you will have so many more people helping you get your conviction overturned.
Thanks. That sounds similar to the GCC kerfuffle.
We're talking to many new gen cloud companies that are already in production and have a burgeoning business that they have to support. They're all "sensitive" to cloud lock in and portability is definitely of concerns. What's also interesting is that many have moved from cloud to cloud like AWS to Azure. And many have a combination of clouds as well - a lot more than an I had anticipated!
I think it is KPN in The Netherlands.
We're obviously at different places in life. I'll always go for the larger storage options, for reasons of time and convenience. The cost is reasonable, and I'll get the benefits for the entire time that I have the hardware.

3 seconds extra between levels, plus 20 seconds during the initial engine load, plus 5 seconds closing down the app, etc...Time adds up. If I've got half an hour available to play a game, I want to get in+out fast. My SSD can stream data faster than my CPU can decompress it. Why would I want to handicap the hardware that I paid good money for?

On the other hand, 15 years ago, I remember shifting data around to fit on my 20GB hard drive, doing the minimum install and running games from the CD to save disk space. My priorities would've been a lot different, then.

Canada’s housing bubble makes America’s look tiny
First thing to note here is that the IRS does not care about what states your offices are in or whether you have a physical presence or not in those states. If the accounting firm told you this, I would seek a second opinion from an individual, but skilled and experienced CPA. The IRS is only concerned with federal taxes. They do not deal with any individual state laws.

Second, if it is a pure SaaS product, I am yet to see anyone anywhere in the US charging sales tax. Most states specifically do not tax services which includes SaaS. This article breaks down a few... http://blog.taxjar.com/saas-sales-tax/ You will note that there are some that require taxes and if you have employees in some of those states, you might take a look.

Thirdly, as an example, the laws in the state of California state that if a certain percentage of your work force are in the state, then you would need to register and file income taxes in that state. I had a US based SaaS startup with remote employees in multiple and firms were always trying to raise concerns about how we needed to file income tax in every state we did business. It would have been an enormous undertaking and is just not necessary.

Lastly, you probably do not have enough presence in the US to be considered having a tax nexus. My unofficial advice is don't worry about it. Accountants are like attorneys in that they are very conservative in the advice they give. No one is going to come after a small company like yours for not paying a portion of your income to their state because you have 2 or 3 remote employees there. The IRS is not going to try to get you to pay income tax if you don't have a big presence in the US. There is a 99.9% chance you will never be contacted by any of these agencies. And if you are, the worst that will happen is they will review your situation and try to get you to pay back taxes. After which you can hire a good firm to negotiate that away or down considerably. The IRS and especially state governments have very little jurisdiction on entities based outside the US. Things may change in the future, but for now, there is very little specific law on the books that would obviously require that you start filing and paying taxes all over the US.

Your annoyingly patronizing tone aside, I'll try to address what you're saying.

> ...the class hierarchy: as an example, in Pharo Smalltalk you have the following hierarchy: ProtoObject -> Object -> Collection -> SequencableCollection -> ArrayedCollection -> String

Seems ridiculously over-engineered to me, but whatever, let's keep going..

> with the "reduce" method being declared on Collection class (reduce being the easiest way to implement "join").

'reduce' and 'join' are very different things. one is a generic function (aka fold, also exists in python as 'reduce'), the other is a string concatenation method that takes an iterable and produces a string. the latter can be implemented via the former, but they're not the same thing. no one's stopping you from using 'reduce' in Python instead of the built-in string member function 'join', btw.

> So in short: no. There are many interesting languages which implement various interesting techniques which solve various problems

Ugh, i give up :)
> We say it's wrong to kidnap people and hold them against their will, but we put people in prison as punishment.

This is rather an arguments against prisons to me.

> We say it's wrong to steal, but we use fines as punishment.

Objectivists would indeed argue this is an argument against taxes.
> ...because of people like you.

Your generalization is not true. There are many reasons why a company does not want to post salary ranges and I'm quite sure that direct and non-hostile feedback about how copy for a job posting on Hacker News might be interpreted, is a small maybe even insignificant, reason.
Great idea. Being able to import publications from inspires would be great for the high-energy physics / math crowd.

You are right. This is very disturbing. I guess they do this a lot in Northern Pakistan / Waziristan area in the tribal lands and mountains? What if the Terrorist read stories like this, and gave their cell phone to mules who then get killed?

NStack | London, UK | Full time | Onsite | Functional Developers

We’re a building a platform for composable microservices using a mixture of Haskell and Linux systems technology (including containers, systemd, dbus), with some typed DSLs, systems code, and distributed systems thrown in.

We want developers to spend more time writing core business-logic vs. writing infrastructure, and are using lessons from building programming languages and operating systems to accomplish this. We’re looking for talented programmers -- preferably with some knowledge of typed functional languages and *NIX systems programming -- to join our small tech team to make this a reality. It’s a challenging role, working on hard problems, but the chance to work with a top technical team and shape a company and product from an early stage.

We’re funded by top-tier infrastructure investors from the West Coast, and the founders are both technical and ex-YC / academia. Salaries are competitive and include generous stock options. EU applicants welcome (other visas potentially possible), although roles are onsite only.

We’re looking at a range of positions and experience levels - whether you’ve just left uni or been hacking for 20 years, if you’re interested please get in touch. Any questions please comment, reach out via jobs@nstack.com, or http://nstack.com/careers. Cheers!
What I meant was Drew had applied with dropbox saying he would exit if someone paid 10M. But current YC seems to be to big for that kind of exit target.

> You've always got to put your best foot forward.

early stage startups can be very delusional about how big they can become on either side of the scale (drew quoting very less and some other startup quoting billion dollars). So, its not really up to the startup to predict how big they can become, it all depends on the interviewer. Nothing to do here for the startup i guess.

I don't follow your comment. I'm not sure how you can claim that Solid state relay is fake. Also poor security practices in IoT devices and counterfeits sounds like 2 completely different topics.

Let me play the devil's advocate:

How can you be sure [1] is fake? To me the picture looks like the real one reported in [2]. It is also 2.5x the price of the fake one reported in [2]. You also say there are lots of unhappy customers, but [1] has only 1 five stars review. If there were unhappy customers wouldn't there be more reviews?

> They exist; you can buy them through Digi-Key or Mouser. They cost about 2.5x the fake price

Do you have a link by any chance to compare the prices? I didn't find any on either Digi-key or Mouser.

Also how are solid state relays related to large quantities IoT devices? Most buying IoT devices aren't buying raw components, but a finished product instead (Hue, Nest, Cameras, Baby monitors, etc.)

Here your main point is against counterfeits, but the issue mentioned in the article is not about counterfeits, it's about bad security. Those IoT devices with low (or non-existent) security unfortunately aren't even fake ones.
If you're writing code for a self driving mechanism, the guidelines become part of the requirements for that code.

There are lots of tools for CD in a container world, like Kubernetes and ECS. But many (most?) companies aren't using containers.

Which tools and best practices are you using to manage your deployments in a non-container world, when you have dozens of long-lived servers behind a load balancer?

I'm not a huge yelp fan. I think there are elements of their product that are done sloppily, and I even dislike some yelpers that I've personally interacted with.

That said, it would be nice if someone presented some evidence to back up claims that yelp is doing something "corrupt".

I don't doubt their AE's are assholes, which is where I'm guessing a lot of business owners' negative feedback is coming from, but there's never been actual data driven proof that yelp does something shady.

I don't even know you so don't take what I said personally, I was attempting to be helpful :)

I think stating the salary range and then providing examples of the CoL in the area without trying to justify the salary range in comparison to it is the best way to advertise the position.

Saying what you just said: We are looking for great candidates wanting to live in beautiful southern Idaho is compelling too (for people wanting to get away from the huge and congested cities).

This argument that the Second Law is a simple logical consequence of basic probability always seems glib to me. Why would probability demand entropy increase as one extrapolates forward in time, but probability not similarly demand entropy increase as one extrapolates backwards in time?
