> Just out of interest, how are you managing the 90-day renewal schedule?

Not the parent, but I use certbot running monthly with a cron job. It skips any domains that aren't up for renewal, and renews domains when they are close to expiry.

I then get a monthly email telling me which domains were updated and which ones were skipped.

It's completely painless. 90-day renewal isn't a problem when the whole process is completely automated.
Yeah comparing this to toy safety is quite a leap. Actual internet connected toys? Sure. But what I see is a network gateway device in a slew of such devices in a still nascent industry which really hasn't figured out how to even create fully secure network protocols yet, much less hardware. This will have a chilling effect on innovation in the field more than it will improve security in the large.

I think some news sources never use the term "laid off." I imagine the thinking is what happened was "fired without cause" and that is independent of what the company would like it to be called.

> When I went to test out the keyboard I was horrified.

Really though? I prefer a particular type of keyboard but I could easily get by using the absolute worst $10 garbage keyboard too. The vast overwhelming majority of computer users are using terrible keyboards with Dell and HP logos on them. Is it maybe possible that you're 'can't evening' a tiny bit?
Organic computing device created using four rat brains (2015)
The timing of the input itself doesn't vary, but the timing of the visual feedback does. I like a fast 60Hz autorepeat, and I rely on visual feedback for precise positioning (I find this has lower cognitive load than Vim style character/word/line/etc counting). If the terminal is displaying at 40fps then some separate inputs will be merged and displayed at the same time. And if you like 30Hz autorepeat, instead of consistent 2 frames per input, you get a mixture of 1 to 3 frames per input depending on how the cycles line up. It makes it much harder to hit the exact character you want if you're using autorepeat for navigation.

Ideally the terminal should have MPV-style motion interpolation for supporting keyboard repeat rates that aren't an integer multiple of the display's refresh rate.
I understand the concept of being "available" because my employer has a rule of core hours that one can be expected to be available for questions/meetings/whatever.

At the same time though, sometimes you can learn a lot by not being available. There's documentation that can be written, and sometimes users need to actually read the manual instead of interrupting you to answer a question you've already answered to them three times before.

Sigh. That last one is the worst. Especially if you've written documentation, pointed it out to them before, and been told "I don't have time to read that".

Combining a response to a few comments here.

> Based on your definition of "giant global variable" the $ in JQuery is also precisely that.

jQuery’s `$` and `jQuery` are giant global variables when you include jQuery as a <script> or by concatenation. When you load it as a module, it adds no globals, which is rather nice. Look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery’s “Babel” section, which is also how you use it with TypeScript.

You also seem to be under the impression that polluting the global namespace is the only bad thing about globals. It’s one factor, but it’s also just generally an indicator of bad design. Organizing global mutable state into singletons and namespaces doesn’t help with this. You’re also crowing about TypeScript but throwing away many of its benefits by not using modules or typings for the libraries you depend on.

> You may not even know this, but packaging an app into a single downloadable JS file (modules not even necessary) is actually the modern approach. It lends itself to better compression+minification.

(ES6) modules actually quite necessary if you want your minifier/bundler to be able to remove unused code reliably. Closure Compiler can only do so much.

I came from Perl with zero Java when I learned Clojure and found it very easy. That was 3 years ago and apart from the occasional Integer/parseInt I've hardly ever needed to dip into Java. As Clojure is a dynamic language it's a much cleaner departure from Java than Scala or Groovy where OOP still plays a big part. Clojure can be a truly liberating experience if you've spent most of your programming life working within the OOP straightjacket.
Ouch. I feel lucky to have enough autonomy I can blow a few hours out of a week "just trying something out" without being grilled why I wasted a few hours over it.

Having an IT background is helpful almost anywhere, and more valued outside of core IT areas

I tested this theory by getting an IT job at a food company. I was treated way better as an employee but the tech was too old (almost treated as the factory machinery). It was painful to leave that job but I felt I wouldn't be able to get a job anywhere else, that my skills would stagnate. I guess this constant anxiety is another argument for quitting IT.

Maybe working in non-pure IT setting AND being in charge of tech might be the answer. A small consulting company for non-IT companies comes to mind (if clients trust you, new exciting tech wouldn't be so difficult to introduce).
Hey! The company looks awesome, and very exciting to work with! I strongly look forward to take my application ahead.

Asking AgileBit to NOT ask for entire dropbox storage is not a UNREASONABLE request.

Among the many victims of WW2, architecture must be counted as one of the most devastating.
Oh really. Well if you actually go read what they said on their website:

https://news.theranos.com/2017/01/06/company-re-engineers-op...

"company has identified a core team of 220 professionals to execute on its business plans, and informed 155 employees that their positions have been eliminated"

The company does not say it fired anyone, they use the word eliminated. Firing usually means someone is terminated for cause. Not that they are being let go because the company does not need them any more.
Regarding the benefits of knowing your data on compression: rearranging the dimensions of a dataset can also yield interesting increases in compressibility.

For example, you can store your position records arr[T][X,Y] as arr[X,Y][T]: that is, sequences of bits representing how each point on the grid evolves over time, rather than sequences of bits representing boards. These single-position time-series should both be more internally predictable (lower entropy), and more isotropic (having similarity with other features, allowing secondary compressibility) than the original ones, and you should be able to repopulate the in-memory 3D array from the serialized representations in roughly the same time (ignoring caching effects, because a 19x19x28 array is a very small array.)

Of course, this doesn't always work: the same magic could be applied to videos... but decompressed videos do not fit easily into memory, let alone are they small enough to ignore cache-coherency during reads/writes, so actually doing the dimensional transforms is a bit implausible. (But if we really needed a video squeezed 10x more than we do today, and were willing to spend hours on both ends doing so, it'd certainly be possible.)
This is really disappointing. I was hoping Assistant would just be part of Google Now, but it looks like they want you to buy a Pixel, use Allo, or their own devices.

> All other things being equal, why wouldn't an average consumer want a modular smart phone?

All other things being equal they might, but in practice all other things are never equal. Modularity comes with trade-offs, and those trade-offs often aren't a net win for many users.
> I wish you had elaborated on this.

Sure. I've held jobs in one or two other fields prior to entering software development, and each one of them (in my opinion) contributes to a perspective that you see the world through. Our brains change with habit, and, naturally, the thoughts and feelings that frequent your mind will become mainstays of your daily life. It took two years for me to stop feeling like every time I rode my bike to and fro, that it was imperative I do it as fast as possible.

This is going to sound silly, and I'm okay with that. But, being an engineer again, the patterns and ways my brain solves problems for work permeates into daily life. For instance, I view boiling water, laundry, and texting as asynchronous tasks that can have their own thread and let me know when they're ready. Ridiculous, I know, but I feel like our brains seek these things out to strengthen the existing connections we have and to put life into contexts we understand most. Take this with a grain of salt, because this is just my experience and I have no research to link to, at the moment.

The other interesting thing about how it changed me was, prior to being a bike messenger, I was pretty naive of classism and what it looked / sounded like; however, only now is it obvious. I make conscious choices to treat all people in service industries well because I only now understand how privileged I am as an engineer. Tipping and saying "May I have xyz" are large parts of this, as vocations such as baristas, delivery personnel, and food workers are very underpaid. I can't really change the world, but I'd like to think I can make the people in front of me a little happier by treating them well.

1-I am looking to apply to YC and the project fits 2 categories of among the "Request for StartUps" categories [AI and Mass Media], Is this ok if the product touches on these areas but is not defined by them specifically?

There is no exact category for product ( it detects forms of hate speech and allows users to "talk back" through various specific tools, using "ai"/ linguistics & intelligence,and elements of gaming and interactive storytelling on the interface.

2-Also, the "diversity" "Request for StartUps" category, does the YC mean the founder is "diverse" or the product is aimed at a "diverse" market? I am "diverse" but the product isn't particularly aimed at a "diverse" audience.

3-Also, (I think the answer is "no":) do you ever let founders take less money (say 60k for 3.5% instead of 120k for 7%)?

4-if the company/person does not have $$ and is not incorporated yet, how long does it take to get a minimum amount (just so you can deal with the expenses of getting there and being there initially) from YC once you arrive in SV?

5-Do you consider someone who is self-taught and built the prototype herself but does not have a "real" CS background or has ever worked as an "engineer", a "technical founder"?

Thanks!
Because the space needed for modularity forces a compromise in either battery life, bulk/weight and/or performance which are all more important to the average consumer.

>> I'd argue that onboarding new customers should be your core competency, the focus of your main product.

I suppose that's true, in a way. We host open source stuff for stuff, we support people, we do lots of stuff, some of it is automated, and some of it isn't. I was just saying a larger part of getting the new customers in production would be good to have more automated and I've not yet found an easy way to do that.

I do like the idea of that being a core competency, though not quite a focus of the main product.

'Laid off' is ambiguous: it can mean either a temporary suspension (i.e., a factory lays off some workers until conditions improve) or a permanent job loss. I haven't seen any suggestion that these job loses at Theranos are temporary, so I have no problem with the use of the word 'fired' in this context.

I went to a boot camp after being self taught and it was a huge help. Going to a boot camp put a good amount of polish on what I already knew as well as introduced me to some of the soft skills associated with working as a dev (doing/getting code reviews, working in a team, working on a time line etc).

If you're thinking less of boot camps grads, you shouldn't. At least in the program I attended everyone had at least a BA in something (some even had CS degrees).
Amazon I believe recently asked a number of custom skill makers to remove unlock functionality from their code for this exact reason.

At the time, the final product was arguably a case of code that is far too split up, resulting in quite some system penalties.
