> As an early fan of ProductHunt I became saddened to watch their community get diluted and become more of a place for "growth hackers" to hang out than people who actually make things.

This is the inevitable fate of all communities. I've seen it happen so many times and I've seen so many discussions about it over and over again that I've begun to consolidate my thoughts and relevant links about it on this URL: http://visakanv.com/blog/communities

> So I think this can be a good news, now that they can just let go and focus on the startup community instead of artificially trying to grow

I hope so too, but realistically I don't think any community that gets diluted can get un-diluted. Reddit, Quora, HN, whatever the place – one you drive away the quality, it seldom comes back. PH will just have a new set of pressures on them now. I wish them the best, just as I wish any community founder / maintainer the best, because a high-quality community is one of the most precious things on this Earth. Alas... it never lasts.
The existence of trolls doesn't mean that neonazis can't exist. Your doubletalk isn't fooling anyone. The words and actions in Spencer's talk were beyond explicit. Wake up.
"It really feels like we're marching towards a brave new world."

To nitpick, it rather feels like we are being marched.
Personal story only, I never liked Imp, nor OO that much (all my OO code tried to be lisp or caml without knowing it). I learned lisp eval, then lc, typed lc.. recently prolog; where the machine vanishes quite a lot. Yet the very high abstraction view that path led to makes the understanding of systems and languages very coherent even if thinking in an imperative POV. But I can't suggest doing that to anybody since it may fail miserably for them.
I haven't given the book a look, but in general, if you pick a small enough language, you can absolutely build an interpreter without needing a CS degree.

A couple of years ago, I wrote https://github.com/steveklabnik/mojikun , which is an implementation of Brainfuck. I specifically over-engineered it to be more like a real interpreter than the smallest possible code, so it's actually split into parser/lexer/runtime/interpreter. I also made it have a more strongly-typed AST, which in retrospect is a little silly, at least the way that I did it. A bunch of those files have empty classes for this purpose.

Anyway, my overall point is, this project has the same structure as a "real" interpreter, and it's like 160 lines of code for the core functionality, no complex algorithms. And you can move on to harder languages fairly easily, and learn as you go.
I've read that the heart rate sensor on the Pebble 2 isn't there yet. Hopefully that is just an algorithms problem though and will improve over time.

Don't remember seeing any reviews of the Pebble 2 from existing Fitbit Charge HR users, though.

Not to mention the rest of the ecosystem. Look what happens to humans when they grow up without being properly embedded in the family, with its hundreds of thousands of years of historical contingency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)

We can't even begin to describe the amount of information encoded there.
The most amazing ride service exists in Thailand. All throughout the cities are modified Izuzu trucks with a signature red color (there are other colors for going outside the city) where the truck bed has a covered canopy with two benches (parallel to the direction of travel). To use the service you walk to the road, raise your arm and any available passing red truck will stop and ask you where you're going and then they take you there. The fee you pay is dependent on the distance but generally starts at 20 Bath per person (in the city I live). For context, that's the cost of an ice cream at the park, or water bottle at 7/11.

In comparison, Uber recently came to this city and it's very poor. It's more expensive than a red truck and the only possible extra convenience it could provide is a pick up from your door, but most red truck drivers would arrange that with you too. The Uber drivers here also seem not to have had any training.. I gave up trying to use it when the driver asked me to walk a few hundred meters instead of picking me up where I was on the GPS.. that's not the point! I'm glad to continue using red trucks

Splenda is a totally different chemical compound, though, with a chlorine atom. The article makes it sound like it's still sugar but with a different physical arrangement of molecules.
For me, any such number is an artefact of the data -- they've included things like the name and demographics of the idea's author, which will be clearly useful in practice for a "Show me more ideas like this" application, but which will only be misleading if trying to study the nature of "idea space".

When I bake at home I do the same thing. I'm still a bit hit or miss with regard to having things come out with the same texture/feel (how they rise or not, etc.) My basic question is how to compensate for the proportions new proportions.

But overall, the taste is much more palatable because there is much less sugar-shock.
Given your response, I put it to you that perhaps you are assuming too much about me and the tech industry. FYI I understand risk and culture to an obsessive degree.

> + Language and culture are barriers. Swedes have access to EU talent, but how many will move? Low rates of mobility in Europe. In America, people move 1000Km for a job, less so in Europe.

I completely disagree with this statement and I'll have to call your sources for it. Even more here in Stockholm, but mobility around Europe for tech jobs is huge, I work at Klarna with 45 different nationalities. Same thing happens at Spotify where I have friends working in.

Hell, even in a small startup and a small to medium-sized company where I know people working at they have people from 10 different countries in Europe, even from richer countries such as Germany, England and Switzerland.

I have friends working in Dublin, London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Zurich and all of them working with different nationalities all the time.

'Experiment' with no conceivable way of monetization gets 'investment' for some behind-the-scenes, non-investment reasons.

Bros funding Bros, and then bro acquiring bro when the first-bro has blown through 7.1M. Its the Silicon Valley version of nepotism. Its all play money, but is only available if you are in the circle.

Now that you have an exit to your name, next stop, VC partner. And then ask all the startups pitching, what's unique about you?

Yo!

Let them have what exactly? The whole entire site smelled like a get rich quick scheme from the start for the founder. I tried submitting something only to later come to the same realizations of the vote rigging aforementioned.

Congrats on playing the VC system, I guess.
What on earth would you need funding for when you do a site like Product Hunt? That makes no sense.
Interesting because according to crunchbase their $6M round with a16z was at a $22M Val. With a follow on debt financing, that indicates to me that they might have taken a down acquisition. Of course that was 2+ years ago. So if it was a 20M acquisition that means that the last two years of growth [2] wasn't good enough.

Admit it. Its socially-excepted extortion from successful where people always increasing welfare spending. I dont know why anyone have to demonize anyone. People are looking after their own self-interest. And successful after their own by evading taxes.

ABOUT US: As technology consultants, we work with a variety of clients that hire us to solve complex and interesting problems. We believe in change through delivery and collaborate with client teams to build world-class technology that breaks through traditional enterprise models.

Each client we work with gives us a new perspective and a broad exposure to different technologies, which leads to a pretty unlimited learning environment. We are constantly questioning the status-quo, innovating, and delivering. If you have a passion for exploring new technologies, chances are you’ll fit right in.

Our developers have been contributing code to major organizations and open source projects for over 25 years now. They’ve also been writing books, speaking at conferences, and helping push software development forward -- changing companies and even industries along the way.

TECHNOLOGY: We don't have a tech stack – our clients do. The nature of consulting means that the languages we code in and technical environments vary from project to project. ThoughtWorks looks for individuals with expertise in multiple technologies, but most importantly, those who are always willing to learn more. Keywords: java, ruby, javascript, .net, scala, clojure, python, ios, android, continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), cloud, docker, Platform as a Service (PaaS), Test Driven Development (TDD), agile

Ask HN: How many years before driverless cars are commonplace?
A recent discussion here regarding Uber's cost model has me curious about how many years it will be before driverless cars are not just viable, but commonplace.

Is there any general consensus on the figure, or are estimates all over the place?
(Somewhat of a repost, but I'm a fan of these things.)

I had the same feeling, so I tried it out myself. Inspired by Jonesforth (highly recommended), I wrote an arguably complete Lisp interpreter in a single, heavily commented ARM assembly language file.

Lisp is an obvious target, with its minimal syntax and simple concepts. The first Lisp was written in assembly on a machine with comparable capacity to your laptop keyboard's microcontroller, after all.

I hope you find it useful:

Reading Scott Adams is exhausting. I feel like his posts are a writing exercise to see how many times one can use the words persuasion

You don't need a business filter to understand that politicians love high visibility projects. A common thread with Adams posts is that he fetishises anything Trump does as genius and, prior to the election, demonizes everything Clinton did as manipulative. That and he gave a lot of credit to conspiracy theories. Honestly I think he's trolling by now.
I use AngelList for the same purpose.
