Insomnia 4.0 Released
Actually, I think it makes a lot of sense from a revenue point of view, for AngelList. Their product allows for investors and startups to meet. But where do those startups come from? What is the reception for their product? Are early users excited about it?

Integrating PH to AL could give strong signal to investors, which is especially a big win for investors from syndicates, who may not be as active in their research than bigger investors. Signal processing from PH launches can be automated and give intel to AL investors. PH can be here basically to feed startups for AL users to invest in.

I think an other great addition here would be Betalist. Startups on PH are probably already past seed funding, Betalist would allow AngelList to have a good stream of seeding stage startups, which would allow AL to become a startup pipeline.
Poor, working poor, lower middle class, they're all crude definitions for people who are struggling. Arguing over who is more or less struggling or deserving is to play the oldest rich person's game of fight-for-scraps.
My contention (and history supports me since no economy has always gone up) is that there is no way to manage an economy correctly. It is too complex of a system and therefore cannot be directed without alternate, often unpleasant side effects.

Out of curiosity, these proponents who say they've analyzed it through and through and think the theory is sound, their assumptions don't include rational players, do they?
Not useful. Those graphical programming interface all end up miserably. Don't understand why people still trying to sell it.
YNMT (You need more time)?

Offer a similar "budgeting" experience as YNAB, but constrained (you literally have 24 hours a day, no more, no less). Create categories and subcategories. Work - Programming, Meetings, blech; Meals - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Preparation, Shopping; Kids - Transport, playing with, working with; Home - Bathroom, Kitchen, Floors, Mowing; Financial - Bills, Budgeting.

Open the app and log your time, specifying the appropriate category. Reallocate time. You wanted to spend 24 hours at the lake this month (rented a cabin, camping), but you needed to clean the gutters and forgot about it so you go to the lake later on Saturday, not first thing in the morning.

Would be able to generate reports at different levels of granularity, like a budgeting/accounting app can. Generate a daily, colored, chart so you can see where in each day you spend time (or don't for unaccounted for time) and identify trends and problems (I go to bed between 8pm and 11pm, maybe I should make that more regular).
And what is the value of this information?

I'm not the roots and berries type but honey seems to be an amazing compound for medicinal purposes.

I agree. after working long hours to "save the day" for a startup I was at, my boss called me into his office to tell me to stop. If you give more, they will keep asking for more.

Since that conversation with him over 5 years ago, I work 40 hours a week with overtime when it makes sense. There is no need to push yourself. The company won't go under if you go home at 5.

Howard Schultz to Step Down as Starbucks CEO
Agree with your sentiments, very much so.

That being said, 'Self' magazine was hardly news. It's the kind of self-help mag often found in doctors' offices, and maybe shoved into a purse for a quick flight somewhere.

It's sad for the employees involved and a few die-hard readers, but not a massive loss.

EDIT:
My wife is a subscriber, and typically reads it while lying in bed one night out of the month.
Not selling to Citizen for 750M in 2015 was a hell of a mistake. I really would to be behind the rationale to say no to a deal like that, when the market was clearly seized by Apple and way richer competitors...
Yeah, you don't want an "automatic" machine that does grinding, tamping and pulling the shot. It just doesn't work well, they don't make good espresso IMO. Even the ones I've used at various work locations, that cost thousands of dollars, are pretty bad.

What you need is a manual (aka semi-automatic) machine, and a proper grinder (I have the Ascaso I2 and like it a lot) or even just pre-ground Illy, it's not that bad. Learning how to grind, tamp etc. takes about a month. From then it's pure espresso magic.

For extra hipster points, buy a really manual machine, aka lever machine:

I didn't violate any laws. The car is titled to my wife's mother, who is a resident of Wisconsin, and the car is kept and driven by my wife in Wisconsin. I just happen to be paying the bill and am a resident of Chicago.
... I barely know how to respond to this. If you think the most poor people are content being poor it's hard for me to craft a rebuttal given how out of touch you are with reality. I grew up poor myself. Like lived on the streets for 2 years, spent time in the state grouphome system, had shoes held together by safety-pins level of poor and I now make six figures. On my way from there to here I spent a lot of time with other poor people and the vast majority of them were extremely unhappy in their situations. A lot of them were working hard to get out of that situation, others had given up because they realized they didn't really have the aptitude or mental temperament or the resources to bootstrap to anything better. I met only a very-very small handful of people I would have described as "content" or "eager to game the system forever". Your disdain for the poor is frankly disgusting and sounds like it comes from a place of having never had to scrap and scrape for your next meal or make hard choices about which bills to pay this month because you can't afford to pay all of them. I can promise you it never feels normal to be just a few dollars, or one mistake away from homelessness.

Except without the market share in high end gaming/graphics that made D3D viable.

I wish they would realize that the people they're hurting with this decision are not their competitors (who are actually probably happy to see them underinvest in good GL drivers) but rather us developers, who do have to develop cross-platform apps for market share reasons and so end up shouldering the costs of needless fragmentation.
I hope that there are people on standards bodies who remember or learned what it was like before UTC when civil time seconds were not one SI second long, and in effect "smearing" happened all the time.
Reading this made me want to watch an episode of Real Housewives.
The downvotes are because

1. it's irrelevant. This is an open source project, google code was a project hosting environment.

2. Google code "bit the dust" after being around 10+ years, and being replaced by something else ....
(and had tools/etc and hand holding for the deprecation).

So, 10 years from now, if someone has made "the github of open source fuzzing", and it's not this project, yeah, i guess it's fair that it might bite the dust.

But honestly, much like Google code, if 10 years from now, someone else has replaced oss fuzz with something that has hundreds of thousands of open source projects, i'd call that success, not failure.

3. It's even less of a hard dependency.
That reminds me of the novel jPod. Anybody who brought McDonalds (also known as 'the taint') into the office was shunned for the day.

We're growing at an awesome pace, and now need more motivated engineers to help us build out the features and products schools want!

Who we are looking for:
A Ruby and Rails expert, who comfortable working on the front-end and back-end. You should enjoy building new features, from thinking up the idea, to supporting it in production. It's also important to know how to balance quick and dirty hacks and sustainable code.

Email careers@givecampus.com with your GitHub profile and sample projects, and a little bit about yourself.
Thanks! Pachyderm's version control over datasets is a killer feature.

"Under her stewardship, she’s been able to grow traffic to a high of 5.1 million uniques in September, according to comScore."
Seems very high - does anyone know how this is actually calculated and whether or not it includes paid traffic?
Sorry to hear that story. When you meet a partner who's down with it, though, you're golden. It means the two of you share some values are critical to building a solid life together. I did that couple of decades ago and now I'm rich. Keep at it, my friend you are on the right track.
FYI the contact link in the root body is missing the .html extension and redirects to the homepage. The header link for Contact has the extension and does get to the contact page. Looks like you have a great product, but I think my few-person startup is too small for your target market.
Currently working at a major publishing house, I wish more people shared your sentiment. The news may not be perfectly unbiased, but at least it's fact-checked and not malicious.

From what I gather nobody has any idea how traditional publishing houses are going to dig themselves out of this. Native ads, a quality-over-quantity ad experience for advertisers and premium services (paywalls) are the holy trinity that everyone hopes will save the industry.

The author makes it abundantly clear the article is for working professionals, particularly women. I don't see any suggestion in the article that a single mother with three jobs has time for swing dancing lessons and hiking trips.

And that's kind of the whole point of the article, isn't it?. The poor and working class people in my life don't complain about how "busy" they are nearly as much as the more well-to-do, despite being so much busier than the middle-class-and-up. They don't talk about it like that, because they're much more grounded in reality. Meanwhile, many college students, lawyers, doctors, engineers, programmers, etc. are acting like they can barely spare a minute because of how busy they are. Maybe these people are busy, in a sense, but the whole point of the article is that they're not nearly as busy as they believe they are.

I think there's a deeper issue at play that the article doesn't touch on: that acknowledging you're not busy is perceived as laziness. There's a certain culture of shared misery, where we all agree to tell each other that we're all so busy, and then we can all feel good both about what we do and about what we don't do.

Here's an anecdote (that's meant to illustrate a situation, not talk myself up): when I was in school, on more than one occasion I had someone tell me that I must be "so busy" because of my major and programs I was enrolled in (and the fact that I was pulling off good grades). When I told them that no, I really wasn't that busy, they were incredulous. There always had to be some explanation for why I wasn't busy, like that I was cheating or taking easy classes or something. The problem was that they thought they were busy, and they figured I must be doing at least as much work as they were, so by deduction I must be busy too. Well it turned out I was doing just as much work as they were; I just didn't think that qualified me as "busy." One person, after drilling me on how much time I spent on school work, scoffed: "Oh, so you are busy then," and thought I was just trying to act cool or something.

I don't believe that you're not allowed to write about a social phenomenon just because there are people in world to whom it doesn't apply. It's very clear the types of people the author is talking about.
I was actually a bit surprised when these were banned in the first place. They had an age range, warned to not swallow, and there are thousands of other toys out there that are as dangerous if swallowed. Well, maybe not as dangerous but still pretty dangerous if not following rules

The most dangerous thing i experienced with them was my kid sticking them to my PC when one single ball got sucked right through a vent and fried the mobo. Not even sure how that happened because there was so much metal between where it went and where it was being stuck to
The map is not the territory.
for $3k/month i wouldn't expect a competent human being to be on call 24/7, which is what you're asking for.

this is one thing that does not enjoy economies of scale. competent people working under pressure at 3AM on a holiday are extremely expensive.

would _you_ do that job? and how much do you get paid?
Reminds me of a 1996 Argentine science fiction film called "Moebius" which involves a missing train, topology, the Dirty War, and of course Borges.

Significant blow to all APM players in the space. Approximately 50% of New Relic's revenue comes from AWS. Datadog just announced their distributed tracing system at $25/host. X-Ray is orders of magnitude cheaper than either - and per trace pricing is something that would be very tough for anyone else to do and plays well to Lambda efforts.

X-Ray seems like a pretty basic service at this point but in my opinion the writing is on the wall for other APM providers. Amazon chose this announcement for a major slot so I expect they'll be investing in the service. As Bezos is often quoted as saying "your margin is my opportunity."

It's almost poetical, but we're talking here about a species whose activity keeps on growing while the rest of the ecosystem dies. We're in the middle of a human-driven mass extinction, a third of arable land has been destroyed in the past 40 years. The CO2 crisis (warming and ocean acidification) is a cataclysm that unfolds in slow motion before our very eyes.

So I'll phrase it differently. I wish we could manage to turn what is currently a predatory/parasitic situation into a symbiotic one before the earth can't sustain us anymore. There's a dearth of terraformed planets to move to once we're done with this one.

I want my kids to be able to have kids with a conscience cleaner than mine right now.
So it's OK for you to tell me what to do, and what not to do:

> Please don't post previous
> submissions without comments,
> they are worthless.

... and yet you decline to answer my question, or to tell me your opinion on these matters.

That's a pity. I'd've liked to have known your thoughts as to whether it's reasonable to have multiple submissions within minutes without indicating the duplication.
Tesorio (YC S'15) | Senior Full-Stack & Backend Engineers | Burlingame, CA | ONSITE REMOTE https://www.tesorio.com/careers/

* Senior Backend Engineer: build microservices to interconnect accounting software & work on our webapp's backend (Python/Django)

* Senior Full Stack Engineer: work with our frontend stack (React/ES6) & our backend stack (Python/Django)

* Apply to any of these roles here: https://www.tesorio.com/careers/

Tesorio is a Y Combinator-backed startup that is building the next-generation of business finance & transactions. In the same way that Stripe modernized payment processing, we want to do the same but for business finance.

We are developing machine learning algorithms to understand business cash needs, predictive algorithms to forecast future cash flow, and a sleek UI/UX to make our products enjoyable to work with.

We raised a seed round led by top investors including First Round Capital (Uber + Warby Parker), Floodgate Capital (Twitter + Lyft), Fuel Capital (Layer + CoreOS), Red Swan (Coinbase + Buffer), Slow Ventures (early Facebook team), Hillsven Capital (founders of Ariba), and Paul Buchheit (creator of Gmail, YC Partner).
Say you are an insurance company and you want to use build a model that uses damage photos and meta data about car as a backstop to make sure that your repair shops aren't ripping you off.

In this case you already have a bunch of historical labeled data and a pre-trained model is useless to you application. It doesn't help you that the pre-trained model can recognized 10 different types of cats, you need a model trained on photos of damaged cars. Obviously the insurance companies own photo data will be more useful here because it's data about the application domain.

Google has collected a ton of photos for the purpose of image search and consumer photo organizing and that models utility has been tuned to those application area.

The key question is what is the overlap between all applications of images models and what photos Google has collected.

There will be for some but my guess is that those are the mission critical, I can only get this performance from Google cloud are few and far between.

I'm not saying there aren't any. Ben's article suggests that Google's data is somehow going to be a mission critical asset for all applications areas. Which I think is a terribly naive idea when it comes to ML.
I've got an amazing idea.

Go away from open plan offices. I'm really baffled that that wasn't one of the solutions in the article. Red and Green coloured cubes? Lights? Ugly attempts to mask the symptoms, rather than fix the real problem: Open plan offices suck for productivity.
This is totally cool if the origin is just a dumb S3 bucket. From what I can tell, you can implement the same kind of rewrite logic you would otherwise have in i.e. httpd/nginx conf.

And of course doing so at the edge means that you potentially shave off some latency during redirects.
I met Gary, the founder, through an outdoor fitness group in Boston. He's continuing with the health and wellness theme with his new product, the LifeLight Touch. He's launching it on Amazon after a successful Indiegogo campaign. For all of us who work indoors, LifeLight Touch can make us more energetic and productive. Happy working!

Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation also addresses the strains and mutations involved in porting art to a different medium with different demands. The movie self-referentially concerns adapting the book The Orchid Thief into a very-different – but perhaps necessarily-different? – film.
Point taken that 'Self' isn't news, but I was commenting on the wider climate where newspapers and magazines, are either cutting back or outright closing.

I'm close to someone in the industry, but honestly you don't have to be to see the decline if you look for it.
It's a potentially cleaner way to send back a redirect from API gateway/lambda rather than pattern matching on http in the error string of the Jason response body.
Because unlike google code, this isn't going to be a hard dependency.

When google code went down, existing sites (which used it as a CDN) broke and communities broke up.

Here, you can do this on your own computer if you want.

It's like complaining that SF took down Compile Farm (which is actually worse, they had proprietary Unixen on their system).
From the article:

> “The inducement law in Washington is clear,” Commissioner Kreidler said in a statement accompanying the order. “Everyone has to play by the same rules.”

> As a result of the order, Zenefits has worked out a compromise with the State whereby it will offer its software on a paid basis, at a rate of $5 per employee per month.

I don't get it. So the rule is that you have to charge your customers something? Why can't businesses get free services off the fat of VC capital? Who's being protected by this besides existing insurance companies that are getting their lunches eaten?

Note that I'm not defending any of the other shenanigans that Zenefits has done. I'm just curious what the rationale is for requiring them to charge customers a fee. Anti-dumping laws?
