3D displays are too much effort for casual use and current 3D content isn't impressive enough for people to go to much effort to get it, hence no more 3D TVs.

AR has definite potential, and I don't know enough about the details of AR with stereoscopic cameras to say why it hasn't been pursued instead of the approaches Project Tango/Hololens are taking. But it still hasn't reached a place where the extra effort would actually be worthwhile for most people.
I think he means transactions not being accounted for properly, not necessarily for illegal goods. At least my experience of India is that there are quite a lot of deals being made that never show up in any government tax books.
I actually only applied once and got in. I still had a full time job when I applied, I had no connections to the YC community prior to applying... and I don't know if the YC partners know this, but I actually did the entire application + video in <30 minutes.

I remember doing the app from my mom's garage when my girlfriend was like, "hey Ryan, don't you think you should spend some more time on this before you send it in if it's important?" My response to her was that there was probably no way I was going to get in so I didn't want to put that much effort into the application.

I might be speaking for YC, but I think the thing that was more interesting was our actual product and where we'd gotten it to more than a beautiful polished application and video.

Can confirm. I play Final Fantasy XIV as a non-steam game with my Steam Controller and don't lose any features, including the ability to share mappings with the community. As a nice plus, it even works in the launcher which is a separate process, so I can fully play from the couch without fiddling with my computer (most of the time!)
I think the food-id code can be used for more stuff if it works. I always wanted to snap a picture of my refrigerator and have my available food updated in some database. Then hook it up to some recipe database and we're talking (you cold cook X,Y,Z with what's available or if you'd buy A,B,C...integrate that with some food delivery service to monetize).

I'm suspecting this is a concierge MVP of sorts...if not consider me quite impressed. The last time I checked food identification (or portion sizes really) was a fairly hard problem.
Edit: Guess the food identification isn't that hard anymore. Yikes times are moving fast :D

This is a bigger issue in the whole society. People who do a good, steady, useful job without much fuzz don't get appreciated. It's like the focus on "job creators" but they also need people who buy their stuff and work for them. A society where everybody needs to be a "hero" will go under quickly.

I disagree, you will find better administration.

Imagine you are a great principle/counselor/teacher. You can work anywhere, because you are great at your job. Do you choose to go to the school with the superintendent that is nearly illiterate and completely incompetent at the district where the kids regularly assault each other and the staff? Or do you choose to go to the school where the kids love to learn, love to read, love to study, and respect their teachers and their school?
I guess that would make them some kind of genius in which case they can start attending university.

I was learning matrix algebra in 4th grade based on the soviet system whereas everyone here was barely doing 2 + 2 = ? in some worksheet. Surprisingly folks managed to not be bored. If your standard is what the current system teaches then it's not hard to improve it and have people not be bored while still not drawing a distinction between "gifted" and "non-gifted".

One thing that has helped me to understand fundamentalist groups a bit better is to see these tendencies in myself. I consider myself a strong individualist and free-thinker, but I still have places where I take comfort in fitting in to a group.

I tend to pick groups that I view as positive: hacker, scientist, feminist, etc. but they are fundamentally (pun intended) filling the same need as religious beliefs. They give me a framework to understand the world and feel connected to others.

I think as humans we are deeply attracted to belonging, and sometimes the "better" ideals are more dangerous, because we feel justified in judging others. Intelligent people are better at rationalizing their core beliefs, and therefore have trouble seeing beyond them.

Perhaps if we all could recognize the tendencies in ourselves it would provide enough empathy to facilitate change instead of conflict.

I don't think radiologists are going anywhere, but these tools should at least be used by radiologists. I think one reason they haven't been adopted is for reasons of safety and liability. It would be negligent to run these kind of tools without confirming the results, and if they have to inspect the results anyway, why bother with the computational approach?

It's your life. Assuming that the your exit date has been on the table, internal changes with your former (Their effectively former the moment you say your leaving wether they officially are or not) employer should have no bering. It's goo that you're thinking about the guys you work with, but you're already, or at least should be, out the door in their minds. If the people you're working with don't get that and think you are "screwing" them or such, they probably aren't the kind of people you want on your friends list anyhow.

Now, having said that, do your best to answer any technical or operational questions that your co-workers need help with. Within reason, of course.
It works pretty well for Chromium / Google Chrome, Fedora / Red Hat, Debian / Canonical, etc. Even the various Android skins (whatever you think of them) probably fall under this description.
Awesome, glad you like it.

Our goal at the moment is to focus on making the logging experience as simple as possible. Weight loss is one of the main use cases but we have a few beta users who are logging for health reasons, trying to improve their diet and even a chef who’s doing it for fun.

We’d like to make the app customizable enough to fit most of those use cases. We don’t want to push calorie counting on everyone and have an option in there to disable the calorie and macro cards. As we add new features we’ll let users decide if they want them to appear in their feed.

We’re considering adding a simpler point system, maybe even one that adjusts based on your goals.
I suffer from severe migraines. My mom does too. I get them at least 3 times a week, and it really knocks me down. This really struck a chord with me. After a couple of paragraphs I couldn't stop reading. Very encouraging.

I'm originally from Italy. Growing up my mom and I tried all sorts of medications available in Italy, but none of them made a real difference. I moved to the US a few years back and I tried a few off the counter headache medications (Acetaminophen + Caffeine + Aspirine) and much to my surprised it really helped. I'm not sure why, but these are not available in europe. I started bringing them back home to my mom. It helps with the really tough migraines, instead of being in my room, lights off, puking, I can walk around and even do some work.
That's awesome. I am always skeptical of putting big brand names up there because I feel like it really takes away from our product.

Or, more likely, both things are true (you know what he meant when he said "the ones") because intelligence agencies of superpowers are constantly trying to influence geopolitics in their government's favor.
Hmm. I don't think I can get behind the idea that Trello "disrupted" Atlassian, and certainly not that it would have killed them (no more than Medium killed WordPress...). At most, it may have killed Jira, but Trello seems to capture a slightly different market. Could there be a slimmed version of Jira that could fit in place of Trello? Sure, but I don't think Atlassian would have gone that route (thus the acquisition, right?). Then, when their big product paid off, they bought the sub market as well.

Re:integration, I also think he shortchanges Atlassian. I like Atlassian, so I'm biased, sure, but I think that they could successfully integrate without "killing" Trello. Time will tell on that, I suppose. Also, to say that "Android isn't incorporated into Google" just doesn't seem right. It's also completely different. Google acquired Android, which is a mobile platform, where they're a web company. Atlassian and Trello both offer web based services, and in this case even the same type of product.

You do almost exactly that mining. It's well worth it if you have even 1/10th of a clue of what you're doing.

One more thing. On the last page of the PDF pricing page

https://onupkeep.com/UpKeep_CMMS_Brochure.pdf

For the "billed annually" pricing option, it's saying it only cost $40. That implies is only cost $40 for the entire year.

I think that's a typo. $40 billed annually is not what I think you mean. I think you mean $40 x 12 months = $480.

Because it reads as if it'll only cost $40 total for the entire year when I think you mean it'll cost $480 but you save if you buy up front.

Ask HN: Less well known opportunities for STEM PhDs in the technology industry?
It is that time of year again. A sizable proportion of graduating mathematics/science PhD students (including myself) didn't get that university position they were jockeying for and they are now wondering what to do after graduation in April.

If you spent your time in graduate school working on something popular like machine learning, programming languages or financial mathematics, getting a job is pretty easy. If instead, you worked on something more esoteric, things are harder. In my experience, employers don't care about research or manuscripts unless they are directly related to the job. This makes sense: if you are hiring someone to do a specific job, then who cares what else they know how to do.

Most of us know about the standard Data Science/Finance/Software careers paths and a lot has been said on this site and elsewhere about how to prepare for such jobs, but I am interested in what other opportunities exist. Maybe your company has some biologist or mathematician on staff doing something cool... I would be interested in hearing about it!

I was looking at Vue for our enterprise app primarily because our frontend UI code is very complex and difficult to reason about (built on an older tech stack). Thus far I've only ported one of our more complicated UIs to Vue and as I expected the code is far simpler to understand. I pretty much knew this going in though. We would get similar benefits from React, but I do prefer Vue.

There's still some unknowns for me. I have this integrated into our existing app so that on route start it creates the Vue instance and on route change it destroys the vue instance and while that works fine for now I'm not sure if it will cause issues as we migrate the rest of our app.

I also rolled my own validation (which is pretty easy), but I need to evaluate the existing solutions to see what benefits they give.
My high school was mostly like this. "Block-8" scheduling was utilized, which resulted in four, roughly ninety minute classes per day, with our days alternating between an "A" and a "B". This provided for 8 classes per semester. Classes were typically broken up into 30-45 minutes of lecture and the remaining time for group work or individual study.
I would also like to know this!
Well they do own the iPhone. Whether or not the "iPhone browser engine market" itself is a thing within the greater "mobile browser engine" market is kind of a grey area.

Good point, though the S&P has not averaged 7% annual returns if you consider reverse cost dollar averaging. There where two decades when the S&P went negative in real terms including dividend reinvestment. It's actually tricky to find what percentage you could take out every year from 1950 to now and have the same amount adjusted for inflation at the end, and that's assuming things don't get worse.

Basically, you take out a lower percentage of your money on good years than bad. Further, you need to take taxes out to cover inflation. Aka, you pay taxes on 7% even if your real return was only 4%.

PS: There is a reason many institutions are ok with a very steady 3.5% ROI there is a lot of risk going for more.
Stating that something is a matter of opinion does not mean that insults do not hurt. Either you don't want people to listen to you so you don't have to worry about what you say or you do want people to listen in which case how you phrase things matters.

Or put another way: I'm a core developer of Python and I found your post somewhat insulting (I've unfortunately seen worse). You claim I'm possibly incompetent and I did a half-assed job with asyncio. You very "audibly" sigh and call my work "nonsense". You ask me to "come on" and accept your view on things when I have apparently helped make a "gimped language". And you end by saying I need to "fix [my] language". None of that phrasing comes off as understanding of the hard work and immeasurable number of hours I have put into making sure Python continues to function well for you over the past 14 years that I have been a core developer. I know you like Python as you stated in the post and in the comments here, but that doesn't wash away the rest of the unnecessary negativity in your post such that I want to take your opinions seriously enough to spend the time to explain why things are the way they are.
The history of America is a series of migrations from rural/suburban to city centers and back again.

Businesses and good jobs start to concentrate in urban downtowns, then the city gets too dense or polluted or expensive, people migrate for a better life to raise kids in a commutable distance based on the tech available (street cars, railways, cars), they go too far for the kids to find a job nearby when they are of working age, and then the kids move back to the city.. and the cycle restarts anew.
> but the game disables mouse-input if you are using a controller, which means you can't use the Steam Controller to its full capability.

Yeah, the Valve team (and me, I'm the OP) are specifically pushing hard on this -- an emerging best practice is to always allow simultaneous mouse & gamepad input.
> Because we have working models for high performing specialty schools.

So just because?

>"And how do you define "better"? Is it a lower teacher to student ratio? Higher average test scores? Graduation percentage? Percentage of graduating seniors accepted at 4 year colleges? Some other measure?"

There is no "better" for everyone. Rather than just segregating students (and requiring more teachers resources etc.), work to made education better for your students. Have different classes at different speeds.

>"I believe that I would have been better off in a separate school.
I have chosen to send my children to a charter school for that reason."

That's fine, and that's your prerogative as a parent. However, to say that segregation of kids should be the norm is a dangerous. IMO reckless.
If you're using Ubuntu-ish Linux, PS3 controllers have been supported for a while, search for a package. Wired is generally more robust than Bluetooth.

Unfortunately the paper is in Nature, paywalled, instead of Arxiv, and data/code/model/weights inaccessible. While publishing in Science/Nature/NEJM/JAMA is definitely the right approach for deep learning to gain validity in the medical community, faster progress could be gained by having a more open platform, with constant and real-time validation with more data, more medical centers and clinics. The reason progress in DL has been so breathtaking is in no small part due to the culture of openness and sharing.

In my experience it really shines with turn-based games; I've played way more XCOM, Civilization, and South Park: Stick of Truth from my couch with the Steam Link + Controller than on my PC.

You're also assuming that such a shift must play in the current model. There's no reason that sports couldn't be separated into community activities totally separate from the educational aspects of multiple smaller schools.

I can't find the link, but I've heard strong arguments for models where school days are 4 hours long and kids go to community centers afterwards where they do homework, play sports, games, club activities, hikes, music lessons and just hangout. As a bonus, the people in these areas DON'T need a masters degree to do their job as we separate educational aspects of schools from social aspects.

Dozens of small schools could easily work together in a community under this model with changes in the classroom schools having no impact on the activity centers. You could even go to certain schools on different days for areas of specialization/interest being taught.

There are a whole world of possible options that open up if we don't lock in the model that we have today. IMO, it's not about defunding the schools. It's about WANTING to fund them.

Comparing countries with such distinct histories, geography, culture, etc., is futile.

We could very well owe the current dominance of the US due to the unfolding of events in World War 2. Aside from that, there are many countries that could never have the dominance the US has just due to the difference in population alone. An economy based on a domestic market of 300 million people is always going to have some advantages (and disadvantages) compared to one with 3 million people, even if those 3 million people are better off on average in every measurable way.

So many other variables...
