I completely agree with this. My co-founder had a post[0] on HN yesterday in which he mentioned that our MVP made him cringe.

What he didn't mention is that that cringeworthy MVP was public for almost two months before we started showing it to people. It was out there with broken features, placeholder text, etc.

That made shippin easy. It was done on day 1 and then we were very motivated to make it actually do something useful since it was already public.

Have you consider project Gutenberg?

Is there any reason why that huge corpus would not be useful?

There's absolutely nothing about native languages that makes them a-priori faster than the JVM. On the contrary, the JVMs compiler is likely to emit betteroptimized machine code than their compilers. Some low-level languages (like C/C++/Rust) can (and do in many cases) offer better performance, but that's not because they're "native" but because they allow (and require) finer control over every operation. This level of control comes at a significant cost, though.
Annoyance-delivery Innovation? This has been almost as old as the web (window.unload hook).

What has also been as old as the web is the first voted comment on any HN story being some totally irrelevant gripe.
I think many Americans would no longer consider the USA the same country if it were a police state. It would be the US in name only.

What if the monitor unit malfunctions or is misconfigured?
Normal yes, not much beneficial. I dont have this problem at all (take a look at my long list of Show HN of all kinds, including several very poor half-baked things that I'm not that proud of), so I dont think I can give any empathically useful advice. But I would love to know, what are you building?

(Who knows, maybe it does indeed requires a longer gestation period).
I'm also concerned about who gets to decide what fake news is and filter it out. The 'real news' networks barely covered any of the DNC leaks
Yes but generally they feed people on private not public property. But yeah, let's just keep making parks designated homeless camping grounds, I'm sure you would feel safe letting your kids run around there.
Two approaches I've taken:
What are the jobs in my industry that everyone does but no one enjoys? I ran a digital agency for a while. No one wanted to do maintenance work on a site, or security work. Or low budget work. We sat down and figured out more efficient ways to solve this problem and found people willing to refer the work into us.

What are the things in my company that suck to deal with?
We sat down and listed out all the annoying things that we have to deal with on a day to day basis. Poorly run meetings, endless approvals on certain projects, an inflexible CMS...

Plenty of problems out there, just need to look.

One more approach: find a customer set you want to work with and grill them on their problems. What does a day in the life of X look like? What is the most painful thing about doing x? Why is that? What ways have you tried to solve that problem? Ideally x is a very boring industry or role.
> Adopting Android early would've absolutely helped.

Yes, if they had adopted Android when Samsung or HTC did, it certainly would have helped. But they didn't. I'm not arguing that Nokia shouldn't have come out with Android phones in 2009. I'm saying that by 2011, the market was different and they were offering an inferior experience then against a well-established market.

Nokia, like RIM, didn't take smartphones serious for too long. Both thought that there was some non-full-smartphone thing like classic BlackBerry or Symbian devices that would be competitive in a post-iPhone, post-Android world.

It's true that Nokia had a strong brand, but that doesn't seem to have mattered in the move to smartphones. Motorola had a strong non-smartphone brand that didn't translate to smartphones. HTC had no non-smartphone brand and became one of the larger players there before Samsung started just out-producing them. SonyEricsson had a strong non-smartphone brand that just didn't make it through to smartphones.

It's true that Nokia's brand was stronger than SonyEricsson or Motorola, but I think it's more likely that the Nokia brand wouldn't be as meaningful as what Samsung was bringing to the party.

In 4Q2006, Nokia had 36% of the market compared to 22% for Motorola, 11.3% for Samsung, 9% for SonyEricsson, and 6% for LG. Samsung seems to be the only one to have stuck on the leaderboard through 2Q2016 at 22%, Apple at 12%, Huawei at 9%, OPPO at 7%, and vivo at 5%.

And Motorola got into the Android game early. I always preferred Nokia, but it's not like Motorola wasn't a strong brand pre-iPhone.

I think it's easy to say that Windows Phone was the only reason. I think you're spot on that if Nokia had adopted Android when Samsung had, it's a completely different story. But in November 2011, the market had already been shaped against them. It was already a little late for adoption :-(.
Well, there is stigma attached to not having children, especially in certain families.

But yeah, r/childfree seems to be mostly about people complaining about how hard they have it by not having kids, how disgusting other people's kids are, etc. It's a big ol' echo chamber. They're welcome to it, but it's not exactly a support group so much as a shared bitching session.

For one example, let's look at one of the top posts right now, featuring two siblings who go to their mom's house and jump down each others' throat; the child-free sibling didn't like booger-talk at the dinner table, so retaliated by rubbing the fact that the childful (is that a term?) sibling can't go on an upcoming cruise: https://www.reddit.com/r/childfree/comments/5mr7nw/rant_my_s...

If someone doesn't want to have children, they shouldn't catch any additional shit for it, but they're not exactly some elevated saint either.

Target easily reachable.
Yes but like most things the funding it gets depends on the city. Homeless programs in San Francisco are well funded and better than most cities. The majority of cities in the US are not like that.
It reminds me a story of an Japanese test.
A Japanese school was going to test student from the text of Grave of the Fireflies by Akiyuki Nosaka.
It so happens there was a daughter of the author in the student.
She came back home and ask her father what was he thinking when he write that novel.
The father, who is also the author, said, "I was trying so hard to meet the deadline."

So she answered so in the tomorrow's test "Explain the intent of the author when he write this novel", and she failed.

If you feed people in a public setting you need a perm, which is fairly easy to get. My guess they didn't even bother to comply with local ordinances.

Take a look at dockerized alternatives too. Makes it a lot easier.

You know what's nonessential?

Assholes on the internet navel-gazing about life hacks.
Your read jibes with my own when I've studied that community (and washed afterwards). I'll give what passes for a "left" in this country a lot of flak on a lot of things, but a fundamental unwillingness to work with people who disagree with them on some things but are willing to find common ground on others is not one of them. Often to their, and our, detriment.
Sure it was. It was all they had for 'science' for a thousand years. Something about the 'dark ages'.

And, as stated above, been there and done that.
Program languages can be Turing equivalent however an alternative view of language is its like any other data encoding and via some kinds of Shannon's Law for human speech your language has to be able to achieve a certain SNR equivalent minimum to get an idea across in a small slice of a lifetime devoted to a book at a reasonably low enough error rate to claim a meeting of the minds on a topic. So you can write Kant in German and maybe its possible to understand an English translation of Kant with a bit more effort but there exists a hard lower SNR limit below which it doesnt work such that a Lojban translation of Kant is simply a fliba. Note that its difficult to find a Lojban-English dictionary that isn't also an English thesaurus in practice. There are indications Kant could be translated into Esperanto but nobodies tried in public, or maybe because its also quite impossible.

Now as a counter example (or is it?) see the whole concept of "a quran isn't a quran unless its written in arabic at which point its a real quran" vs the similar fun the pre-reformation christians had with the same belief WRT the new testament.

Anecdotally I've seen people heavily influenced by what they see on FB.
Not so much amongst my professional colleagues who tend to be heavily into Tech, but it's definitely the case among friends and family who aren't into Tech and literally believe every bit of spam that shows up on their News Feed (especially if it aligns with their pre existing biases, although to be fair this may simply be because FB hardly ever surfaces stuff that doesn't align with your preexisting biases.
The shell wouldn't need to be setuid if it just performed a syntax transformation and then called the existing sudo binary.
My understanding has it that it's a comparatively simple piece of hardware, and isn't networked. It certainly ever happens that they're wired up wrong, but aren't something you can remotely hack.
On the one hand, those are fair points - maybe conservatism is just not consistent with good science. We can't just rule that out.

But on the other hand, I think we can. The percentage of conservatives has declined rapidly in recent decades. We haven't seen an increase in scientific productivity because of that. Science worked just as well back when there were more conservatives doing it.

And we also see conservatives talking about how hard it is for them to be themselves on campuses. It isn't that their politics interfere with them doing science. It is that they are a hated minority.
right, letting the homeless starve is responsible.

Perhaps the point is to show that you can think about the way that the words are being used and produce an interesting hypothesis about the poets' intent and technique. It doesn't have to be 'correct', just demonstrate the ability to thoughtfully analyse a text.
Maybe dealing with the root issues that cause homelessness (mental illness, debt, drugs, etc) should be more important than whether well-off people 'feel' safe? People being dirty and homeless doesn't make them automatically dangerous.
>Sometimes a law is just on its face and unjust in its application. For instance, I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a permit. Now, there is nothing wrong in having an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade. But such an ordinance becomes unjust when it is used to maintain segregation and to deny citizens the First-Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and protest.

I hope you are able to see the distinction I am trying to point out. In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist. That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.

"we need everybody to work"

Getting past this fiction is only the beginning. Many, many people find meaning in their lives through performing a task that others deem necessary. When nobody is necessary, the economy decouples from the people. We actually have examples of societies that operate like this right now: Eritrea [0] for one. The government of that country has decided it has no real use for most of its people. It makes business deals with foreign resource extraction companies directly. Many people live in abject poverty while the government enriches itself and does little/nothing to help them.

Assuming we do reach a state where we no longer sustain the fiction that we need people to work, the question becomes "How do the unnecessariat [1] justify their own existance to those who control capital?"

Similar organizations (churches, nonprofits, etc.) don't generally need a permit if they're not selling the food, when the target population aren't homeless people. For example, a Boy Scout group can have a 4th of July picnic in a public park, usually without a permit needed, as can your church or your bowling league or whatever. Traditionally there haven't been any laws at all about it. Recently, laws have been passed by some municipalities specifically because they considered churches and charities feeding homeless people in public parks to be a problem, not because of general concerns over food safety.
OK, I took what I understood the idea of this preprocessing to be and implemented it in Prolog (257 lines including data and comments, maybe 100 lines of "real" code): http://pastebin.com/fLXKRKQ6

Some findings:

- I was wondering why the linked blog post didn't show the results of derive-known-plaintext (what I call "preprocessing"). It turns out, this may be because this forward propagation solves the puzzle completely. There is no need for backtracking search, so there is no need for the whole fancy Screamer framework.

- Since preprocessing solves the problem completely, applying the constraints to its result to "finalize" the solution is instantaneous in Prolog. With Screamer this takes 3 seconds. Screamer doesn't seem to be all that impressive... At least not for this particular problem.

- In the case where there are no initial marks on the board, after preprocessing having marked almost everything, Prolog finds the four possible solutions in 0.037 seconds on my 2015 laptop. Preprocessing takes a second.

Let me know if you have questions!
I kinda have that in boeren.nu. But my reasoning was that you can't be everything to everybody. A farmer might enjoy reading about tractors and cows, whereas a mechanic couldn't care less about the cows. I could make it easy to add interest to your profile, but only 20% of my visitors are logged in.

Also, while I certainly think of Google when I build things, I think of my visitors quite a bit longer. I always look at Google as the company that tried to replace me with their silly Google+ communities, as well as the company that sends me 40% of my traffic.
I believe both you and your parent poster are correct. IMO Nokia could've done it right -- even much better than everybody else in the Android land -- but they took way too long to understand when was the right moment to step in. At that point they lost a lot of talented personnel and it was simply too late.
Why did you omit capital letters and periods and misuse ellipses in a post which attacks academic English? These choices would be annoying enough in any post but for this one in particular they undermine your credibility.
The article you linked is about revenue, not profits, but that doesn't really matter for the argument.

I don't think you can divide $X revenue by N employees and say that therefore there must be some employee pulling in at least $X/N revenue, or at least say that in a way that matters. Imagine a hypothetical tech startup with $1 billion revenue and 10 employees. Is one developer there necessarily bringing in at least $100 million? Would you hire that developer for $50 million and consider it a deal? What if most of that $1 billion came from a single government contract with a serious conflict of interest?

Anyway I think that working for a large organization at a big salary and coming out morally ahead is theoretically possible but very difficult. I don't think I'm cut out for it, myself.
I agree, hence the last line in my original reply. Web components are not yet ready for (most) production work. Too be honest I'm happy the only work I do in the Web area is an SDK. We chose to use vanilla javascript and typescript over a framework as any framework should be able to pick us up. I worked with a couple of frameworks the past 2-3 years and didn't like any of them. Of course Web is relative new and it takes time to mature. For now, I'll take a pass on this one but keep an eye. They are closest to anything I could use, but let's see what a little maturity brings it.

"Think of the children" is a lazy argument.
Yes. Every firmware engineer works with assembly but barely any x86 devs ever touch assembly.
Interesting example, seems the algo cannot infer whether 'store' is the verb or the noun. It would need to understand the meaning and context of the sentence to do this.

Maybe it's also to do with how they generate the training data. Author did say removal of articles was one thing they used to generate the 'incorrect' sentence in the training data. If the film data uses 'the store' much more than 'store', you can imagine how the algo could get biased to thinking store is always preceded with 'the'.
It's been awhile since I've read it; I'm going to try and ask this question in a spoiler-free way: are you talking about the thing they end up 'chasing' through the 4-6-4-6 (or arguably 3-5-3-5, etc)?
Let's imagine that something you want costs 10 hours of work, nominally.

What I'm saying is that the real cost is actually 12.5 hours of work: 10 hours to purchase the item and 2.5 hours to enable a system in which you can purchase the item at all.

If you're not willing to work the extra 2.5 hours, you're actually externalizing (part of) the cost of your perk -- by not paying part of its manufacturing and delivery cost (ie, the portions of those which rely on society).

Arguments against paying taxes while benefitting from societal systems is just arguing you deserve a discount on what you want. Selfish and dishonest accounting.

You'd be surprised before 2000 or so.
The article states that they needed to pay for insurance to do this, which they didn't do. It's a public park and if they want to turn it into a soup kitchen then they should also have to pay for it.
It's probably better to look at the Arch/Gentoo documentation for partitioning. The void wiki should probably be updated to point to some of those wikis. There is a lot of crossover in the Gentoo/Arch dev communities.
Because you have to have a special permit in order to offer free food to the needy in city parks. But obtaining a city permit to feed the homeless twice a week—to set up a table and open bags of chips and bagels and spoon organic beans and rice from a pot—can be pricey because of the insurance policy the city requires.

Cool.
Do you believe that world without debt and people falling into addictions can be created?

Seems to be about on-par with the way high-school English is taught, honestly (at least in my area). I remember my English teacher dedicating a full class period to the FIRST TWO WORDS in "The Scarlet Letter" (the words being "A throng"). I found it absolutely nonsensical and told her as much, but even though much of the class agreed, she shut down our complaints and kept teaching this way.

Later in the year she began scrutinizing yet another book at the molecular level, but one of the kids in our class was the son of this book's author. He ran our teacher's analysis by his father, the author, and the guy found our teacher's reasoning hilariously inaccurate.

I'm all for teaching kids literacy, but there's only so much meaning that can be gleaned from any given passage of text. At some point you're assigning meaning where there really is none, and I felt this was prevalent in some SAT questions and other standardized tests I endured during K-12. This was in a very well-regarded school district: CHCCS in North Carolina.
Lunicode.js – A JavaScript library for artfully mangling text
These laws aren't as crazy as the seem at first glance. The idea behind them is that in order to end homelessness you need to provide comprehensive services, not just meals. By offering a single service you are decreasing the likelihood of visiting a location with those extra services. I've heard talks that indicate that directing people towards service centers is a more effective way of helping those in need.
Unfortunately a lot of these laws are poorly written and lack the requirements to fund services that would help make a real difference.

I don't think that explanation is clear.

It takes a bit more work to get something which proves the experimental difference. One of the better explanations I've seen is regarding measuring spin with three state detectors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuvK-od647c

This would give specific probabilities to certain outcomes (not just 50/50) IF there were a local hidden variable. (Note: the word local is important there. It means information encoded and carried by or with the particles themselves.)

Unknowns is the one word answer to your question.

You have your known knowns, your known unknowns and your unknown unknowns.

We have to make decisions every day with known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Philosophy is a body of knowledge that is in built up on trial-and-error over time. Those first trials start for us when history first started. We've been building on them ever since. We still know next to nothing about consciousness. Philosophy today primarily deals with consciousness. Once we've modeled the conscious brain and can completely control and predict human nature then there truly will be no need for philosophy.
