curry-howard and Wadler's "Propositions as Types" talk at StrangeLoop* opened my eyes pretty early on to the sweet, sweet utility of logic in my every day programming. it sounds odd to start with but I never realized why these things mattered prior to viewing this talk.

Great job founding the most inspiring * * (a consumer electronics field) company!

My name is Ziqiao Jin, I am running a (a consumer electronics field) start-up project and wish I could ask your for some advice. May I have 15 minutes of your time? It will be great if we can have coffee around February 10th.

I agree with you 100% about climate change but disagree about the implications of the phrase. I'll spare you a long etymological argument as to why, suffice it to say that I read the phrase as descriptive only of Trump's intention rather than whether anyone else found it persuasive.
Even if this is but one small step towards wider treatment, this is worth taking a moment to be happy and thankful for. You know that this patient is!

That's just generally the problem when reading sufficiently advanced expert commentary outside ones field though, isn't it? Many times deep experts in the same field are themselves the only ones capable of calling bs.

The 1000 kids who studied every night and got that 4.0 GPA because they had to, and played an intrument they hated because they had to, and have never made a single significant decision in their lives, because all the significant decisions were made for them by their parents, and can't come up with an original response to a topic to save their lives, are not the 1000 best candidates. That is the point of having a well-rounded student body and the real reasons why universities exist, which is not just to produce doctors who "know their shit" (and nothing else).

Well I don't actually consider the options I've presented to be that far fetched.

For all the places that I've worked, the cleaners have always been part of another company, one that was contracted to provide cleaning services. There's also firms and contractors that provide bookkeeping services for small businesses. I'm sure a lot of other administrative tasks could be outsourced as well.

Having these services provided by other companies would raise the minimum salary in a company quite a lot.

The other thing companies do is set up plenty of shell/thin corporations around the world, assign the IP rights to those in minimal tax countries, and then charge massive internal fees so that all the rest of the organisation barely makes a profit. This sort of thing seems to be the same level of loop-hole as setting up multiple companies so that the CxO's can get paid more.

Of course that's forgetting that most of the CxO pay is actually in stock and options, and not so much is in cash, so I don't know how much a law capping CEO pay would do. Some notable CEO's have actually taken just $1 of actual cash for payment (because legally they have to be paid something to receive company perks).
Some glaring bugs, like showing some "next" election dates that are in the past, but definitely a good idea.

Please develop a different, self-degrading material - we already have too many plastic material in the ocean and it is a major problem - you certainly did read about it, this is commonly known nowadays. I wonder how anybody would build a new business on the idea of flooding the world with even more poison.
Yes, totally. I only write in text files for portability and because I find more liberating to just write with no care for special formatting and being sure that I can read what I write on almost everywhere.
In an ideal world I would like to assert that rather than mentally "copy and pasting" what I've done is deconstructed and analyzed why a certain existing musical construct creates the effect it does.

A hip-hop beat from a certain time period, for example, has certain characteristic quntization and accent patterns that makes it recognizable as from a certain genre.

So my brain hopefully has a huge library of meta-constructs and analysis that I can draw upon to make elements with a controlled amount of familiarity.

Yes, similar in some ways to copy and paste, but really more like understanding meta-templates.

Ideally. :-)

Some people are incredible at recreating things they heard accurately. They can do stuff I can't even pretend to attempt. That isn't my forte. Even if I try to recreate something I heard precisely, there is huge error in the reproduction process and I end up with what I would have done. A Dorian melody becomes harmonic minor. A hi hat pattern becomes a shaker with twice as many hits. Etc.
Apparently, this was pre-published in October. Previous discussion here[0], ArXiv link here[1]. The news today is the peer-reviewed version in Science of the same paper, as I understand it.

It legitimizes their position in their minds.

You punch someone, you are certainly not encouraging them to not hate you. You are not making your point that you are something not deserving of hate.
If anything you are proving it and cauterizing their hatred for you in the process.

It achieves nothing positive save very brief catharsis.

I just realized that until http is completely replaced with https, private mode should be always used to browse the Internet on a not trusted wifi network. Otherwise malicious content injected on such a network can be cached and reused by the browser forever.

What if they cut your taxes? Then you can spend your money on anything you think might benefit mankind instead.
Scientists first need to see if it's stable at room temp, and that should take a few months. After that, it'll be up to how quickly it can be reproduced.

How to GET RID OF FEAR

I agree. Facebook redirects a successful login POST with a 302, which then results in a GET to '/'. This is an extremely common pattern. Once you're making GETs, 'fresh' resources can be served from cache without revalidation [1]. This is basically the whole point of the fresh vs. stale distinction.

After recent marches and protests, and the real but not necessarily self-sustaining enthusiasm that they generated, people ask "but what now?"

And the answer to that is to run for your state legislature. It's there that voting rules, and support for incumbent national members of Congress, are set and enforced.

It seems backwards to me too. I usually see these terms when referencing dependencies in software projects, ie: Ubuntu is downstream from the Linux kernel. I would think that you would see the same thing with services.
It's interesting that this article is months old (from September 2016) and is only now on the front page of HN. I suspect that it has something to do with our desire to argue the benefits of stem cell research to the new administration.

I certainly hope they listen, but I fear they won't. People opposed to embryonic stem cell research based upon religious beliefs aren't going to suddenly ignore what they believe to be instructions from their particular God, even if it has enormous benefits for society. I hope that Trump is more reasonable than that, but the hard-line pro-life stance he recently took through executive order doesn't make me optimistic that this kind of research will continue in the US during the next four years.
OWL and TurboVision... now these are names I haven't heard in a long time. I remember the company I interned at was looking for TurboVision programmers at some point, none were found, soin a true Russian fashion they just wrote their own clone of it.

So you've got this thing that's of non-zero value. Because the company shut down, and didn't get acquired, it's probably still owned by a largish number of folks. Getting the right approval to sell it for a song would seem tricky without majority shareholders being really into the idea.

> This doesn't appear to include student offices

Eligibility to run for student offices is generally not at all tied to where your ZIP code of legal residence, which is the only criteria it uses. So, without substantial redesign of its search model, I don't see how it could meaningfully handle them.

Which isn't to say those offices aren't important at some schools, just doesn't seem like a good fit for the model of this tool.
Thanks for the info. Luckily, after some digging, there is no current data retention. It was struck by european courts in 2015. There is a new bill currently in the 'tweede kamer' (our house of representatives) to reinstate the data retention. I'm not sure what the expected status of it is. (The fact that the minister who proposed it just resigned probably hurts the prospects of this law.)
Are you just doing FDM printing or can you also do milling?

I'm very very interested in multiple possible $300-$1000 budget things for both. Edit: Looking at the other comments (I haven't priced anything out using the site yet, scared to do so b/c i don't like drip campaigns), some of my projects might be below this budget using you! Wow!

Is the goal that I use this service to make beautiful enclosures for my projects, or to do all the hardware needs for my project from design to complete?

I've mostly used Oshpark/Shapeways. I was looking into getting a desktop milling machine like an Othermill or Shapeoko, but from my testing they're still way too loud to have in my home office.

Do you cater to one-off things from people like me, or is the hope to be doing mostly B2B?

Given all the 3rd-party integrations available to the web interface (ZenHub, Harvest, to... Grammarly even), what's the point of having a native MacOS-only interface? It seems limiting / backwards to have native applications when there's already a universal web interface.

Then you should do what Facebook does (https://code.facebook.com/posts/557147474482256/this-browser...): content-addressed resources. Have a resource be available not at /resources/something.js, but at /resources/<sha1(something.js)>; whenever there is a new version of something.js, the sha1 changes and is put in your root document, and the browser will never again try to reach the older version, which you know is invalid now.
On my phone, so unfortunately no reference, but there is a HTTP 2 spec underway that allows a client to send a cache manifest frame. A server can then push the resources that are newer. Pretty much exactly what's needed.
Somehow it also mentions Reebok, both in the video ("from the sporty new spaceboots, designed by Reebok") and the textual article.

I'll tell you what my previous manager use to say: "There is no such thing as a free lunch".
To make a child element the same height as the parent, you can set the parent container to position: relative, and in the child element, set it to position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0. The downside of this trick is that the child element is now absolutely positioned and no longer behaves the same. Alternatively, you can use flexbox to do this, if using it is an option.
As a computer scientist, I have no expertise in it. But my understanding is that a stem cell is an 'undifferentiated' cell. It hasn't been 'programmed' yet, to tell it what it should grow into. And as such, can grow into any type of cell in our body. I just don't know how we actually tell it what to grow into.

For instance, as an embryo, you start as a single cell, it divides, eventually some of those cells need to start specializing, but until then they all have the potential to be any type.
Actually, this is new! This particular breakthrough has a different molecular structure than what was found back in October, and the way it's been configured is different.
