Not OP but I found that pursuit of a Patent can be a protection avenue that opens up opportunities for business partnership/investment long-term. Granted it does take personal capital in the US, as it's not exactly cheap, but it's a functional approach in some avenues. Hope this helps.
Foreign science grads are what is driving the US as a leader in R&D. Look at the post-docs at labs in MIT, look at the US Nobel prize winners - the majority of them are immigrants

If companies are limited to domestic scientists then they'll quite happily move their R&D departments to countries with more relaxed immigration laws. Foreign universities will happily take the best researchers from around the world that are denied work in the US.

We're seeing this in the UK from the Brexit fallout. We were getting the brightest from around Europe working in our research labs. Now that we're going to make it more difficult for them they're probably going to go elsewhere.

For sure, but it's not like all other projects are being auto-rejected, I think YC will always be interested in forward-looking educational proposals. One other thing to bear in mind that educational is a multi-generational undertaking; every little helps, but short-term thinking brings you cheap PCs in schools one year and iPads the next. Long-term thinking requires a vision going out 25 years into the future and a plan to respond to and either incorporate or resist outside criticism, depending on how well founded it is.
The load average is calculated by the kernel (processes that display it just regurgitate the first 3 columns from /proc/loadavg); and yes, it is 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
Yeah that's actually a good point. There is no assurance that your App's Service component will remain active and GCM is the only way to reliably push to an Android device.

However you can write an App that persists in the App Tray as an icon that could maintain the App's Service component. The drawback there however is the persistent notification.
I'm sure there are a few but isn't that the point? If all the H1B's are in CA/NY/WA maybe KC (and cities like it) will become more attractive to programmers as they raise their wages.
I'm sorry, can you elaborate?
I'm not sure Hillary Clinton is a good stand in for "liberals" in this argument, for the same reason (if not to the same extent) that I think Trump wouldn't be a good stand in for "conservatives".

To clarify, your point may be entirely correct, I just don't think using Hillary Clinton advances your argument usefully.

> In this case, China shouldn't have had any trouble getting Hong Kong authorities to arrest and extradite this person, so it doesn't seem like the same thing.

Given the current political situation in Hong Kong, this may not be a valid assumption.
It may not appeal but I took up ultramarathons a couple of years ago. On the multi-day ones (e.g. Marathon des Sables) you meet some terrific people with the kind of insanely driven mentality that chewing glass and staring into the abyss demands. They've also typically got a bit of personal runway - so can bare financial risk of a startup.
Well said. Thank you, not only for doing the research, but for admitting that you don't always find clear support for your opinion. It takes courage and honesty. I strive to do the same, and hope that I continue to maintain that level of commitment to integrity you describe. Unashamedly plagiarizing another comment, I regret I have but one upvote to give.

I'd say the two are mutually exclusive.
It's hilarious that you think progressive extremists are pure and good, meanwhile the evil "Conservatives" pervert America with their traditional family unit, working-class values, and newly elected president.

Here's a newsflash -- the Dems are just as responsible for our current state of affairs by doubling down on pointless identity politics, hateful rhetoric, and hopeless fake news. Such adherence ideological extremism will only serve to destroy the Democratic party before 2018.

Trump and Tump, Twitter Based Trading System [video]
>Where was the outpouring of funding when black people were being gunned down by cops from West Coast organizations? Where has YCombinator been as our own impoverished African-Americans are getting slaughtered in the streets of Chicago? Why weren't we funding the ACLU to help these people? I haven't seen Google talk about this, or AirBnB offer support to widows of veterans whose spouse commits suicide and has left them with nothing.

Thank you for your comment. Trump is anti-establishment (sort of: he's reshaping the establishment with his own insiders, I'm not saying he's any less corrupt) and he's anti-globalism. Don't lie to yourself: that's what this is about. The police state and surveillance state abuses are out of control, Obama dropped over 100,000 bombs on 7 countries, we're consistently throwing constitutional and human rights under the bus, Wall Street and the Fed are permitted to loan each other 16 trillion in secret loans and when it was revealed, the worst that happened was a finger wave from Bernie Sanders, 20 trillion in debt and a necessary, impending economic correction due to overspending (in the same exact way if you were spending way more than you earned for years and years, there's no getting away from that)... and I could go on and on. Please give me a break about Trump, he's a deeply flawed character but I'd like people to start being more honest and respectful to the realities we live with as our civil liberties and constitutional rights are consistently eroding as average, humble people are struggling to afford a middle class lifestyle, and it is magnificently disingenuous to pay lip service to the, and let us be honest, mainstream media which is owned by a small group of over-sized corporations, who play Trump out to be the Devil on Earth. But the real problems existed before and without Trump.

This will be entirely unpopular but I really don't care anymore about what being liberal has become. I care about the fact that we have a torture camp in Cuba, about what I mentioned above and more like it. I care about constitutional rights. Equal opportunity. Human rights. World peace. Environmentalism. Nobody in mainstream politics is actually for those things and it's really bothering me. If someone wrote this during the lead-up to Nazi Germany--you'd look back in retrospect and say they were right--I hope that is not the case for me. But I see just a few good people out there: Glenn Greenwald, Tulsi Gabbard, Edward Snowden, etc., who really hang out on the fringes of the mainstream consciousness of political thought in America, only once in a while coming into view for moments at a time.

I love the section about the first idea is probably not going to be the last idea. I've seen startups come in with a very set idea of how the product was going to work, only to find that the way it was going to work wasn't really what customers were looking for.

Rather than defining how a product should work, startups should define their mission and adapt their product to both accomplish their mission and meet the needs/demands of the customer.

I've been involved in a few startups and this is what I've learned:

1. Iteration is key and should be welcomed.
2. Validation, as noted, is incredibly important.
3. Continuing to validate iterations ultimately leads to a successful company.
Sorry, forgot to add examples... http://my-awesome-game.coolgamer.club/ is a demo I created, http://ben-the-exorcist.coolgamer.club/ is a random one a user created... To get the email from Twitter, this is the authorization permissions I had to ask. The need for your email is so you can receive email signups directly there and I wanted to avoid the need to verify your address, so Twitter provided the solution... I think it goes without saying that it won't be posting on your Twitter profile and it won't spam. If you do not trust it, you could revoke access at any moment. But sorry no, there is no other way to sign up, at least for now...
Apple and lady-finger I have had in the UK, seemed to ship OK and tasted good.

They were much smaller. Red Daccas (the red banana) are commercially available in some countries like Australia, but probably because they grow them.

I think commercial development of a "Cavendish Replacement" ought to be a real plan to diversify the banana business. Monocultures are inherently troublesome. If we could lose this meme in the Europe and North America that there is such a thing as "a banana" and start eating different varieties, I think that would be great.
|Trump supporters may not not have breaking point when it comes to helping those that they don't have a perceived connection to.

This is kind of absurd. I think there would definitely be a point where they wouldn't support him on this. It's just that a 120 / 90 day ban of countries considered failed states / enemies isn't it. This is just a more subtle form of demonization. You're basically saying 'They'll agree to anything!'. I don't buy it. But who knows?

I think what is interesting is: What did it take to turn away from Obama? For me it was continued expansion of executive power, continued pursuit of destabilizing nations in the Middle East and continued support of erosion of civil liberties largely via domestic spying programs.

I'm expecting my answer to the Trump question to end up being roughly the same. I'll be pleasantly surprised if any of the above are missing. I'll be unpleasantly surprised if anything new is added. So it goes.

That doesn’t work in Marshmallow, due to a bug, even if the user opts out, it will still disable the app during Doze.

The bug has been fixed in later versions, but you as a dev obviously can’t just leave a huge share of your users without working push notifications.
In some languages, a function can be defined multiple times with different signatures (multiple 'heads'). It will try each clause until it finds one that matches, allowing you to filter or change course on the basis of the value or characteristics of the arguments.

This allows you to easily create special logic for corner cases and is generally extremely useful.

Well, this one is arguably a good thing.
If I was to set you homework, it'd be to talk to 10 founders on your idea. See if they think it'd be useful. Talk to founders in SV and other cities (and other countries).

Whether or not they're sufficiently dissociated is another matter entirely, though.
Your argument is illogical when you think about it.

Microsoft dominated the Personal Computing market. Apple is dominating the iOS market which is a subset of the Mobile Device market. I can buy a mobile device and experience the social and personal benefits from dozens of players.

And bringing it back to the point at hand. The reason Microsoft got in trouble is not because they had a monopoly. But because they used that monopoly to unfairly attempt to create another monopoly when a new competitor came into the market. Safari always shipped with iOS. There was never any competition to begin with.

> "An EO conflicts/doesn't conflict the statute" is a decision that only the judiciary branch is qualified to make, not you or the president.

Incorrect. It's a question that only the judiciary is empowered to authoritatively resolve [0]. Were questions of Constitutionality (and whether or not an executive act is both grounded in statute and not prohibited by another statute is, given the Constitutional roles ofmthe legislative and executive branch, ultimately one of the Constitutionality of the act) not one on which the President (and various other officials) were qualified by virtue of their office alone to decide and act on prior to judicial resolution, oaths to the Constitution and/or laws such as those taken by the President and other public officials would be meaningless.

[0] Except that Congress may also do so, but only in the context of impeachment proceedings based on the purported illegality and without binding effect outside the specific proceeding in which it makes the determination. But its decision in such a case is final and unreviewable.
Did anyone compile a list of ways to handle this problem? I'm all for UBI, but this feels like a show-stopper, and I don't know of any workaround.

Not realistic.
I don't understand how kubernetes solved your base image issue. That's a clustering system, so by default it can't help.

It sounds as though your setup doesn't work with the immutable filesystems introduced by docker. That's not an issue with docker at all - just something to learn.

I can't imagine dev or deployment without docker any more - all of my tests, yarn installs, dev workflow and prod runs through it.
Maybe they want OSX but not 3 year old hardware.
It only looks that way from an extreme-left perspective.

Which only appears to be "extreme left" if you're coming from a, well... (nevermind) perspective.

The point is, yeah, everyone has a perspective (and yes, biases). Which is a good thing, by and large.
It's also possible that the threshold for innovation would be lower because of the cap.
Hi there, wishing you all the best in your pursuits and discoveries along the way!

That noted, I'd be curious to find if there are any particularly measurable "sensory" or "perception" type effects that could be part of a large inquiry. As in, does prolonged exposure change visual or auditory type input/processing/etc? It's curious to me because of seemingly how adaptive our senses can be in various environments (light versus dim), certain noises can be tuned out, and that sort of stuff. Maybe a large bombardment of space radiation or lack of gravity dulls our inner ear?

This way if the twins have measurable baselines and can take identical tests concurrently (one on Earth, one in orbit), then maybe the results could be worth reviewing...or not! Because science!

Dual intent does not mean you can tell the visa officer you will request the employer to also sponsor green card. That will most certainly get your visa rejected.

RangerScience, many people, myself included, have. And guess what? We are down-voted. And then our future posts are automatically pro-actively ranked lower (A penalty has been attached to my account.

CSS would be nothing more than built-in functions to traverse nodes and change attributes. The latter of which would have already existed by virtue of having a programmatic interface with the DOM structure, and the former would have been invented in some form to build on whatever primitives existed, a la jQuery.

Kinda makes me wish I lived in that alternate universe.

As anyone would agree Architecture is art, this question has long been settled. Essentially clickbait for an article interesting enough not to need it.
My impression as well. I am a long-time pro user. I don't mind that much, except that I really want this feature.
Personally I would pick API development and go from there.

Decide you want to build a REST API, design it properly (it is easy to make a not-really-REST API), write unit tests, and build it.

I'm going to pass along something my wife told me about, that happened when she was living in Idaho with her first husband. It was seriously suggested by some of the locals that she should undergo an exorcism. The evil spirit allegedly possessing her, that was to be the target of this procedure: her university education.

There are lot of people in rural areas in the US who not only do not have a lot of education but who have an active antipathy to it.

One shouldn't let this observation degenerate into a stereotype, but I don't think one should dismiss it either.
Yes, I think it's a big part of the problem. Packaging things together and discussing them as ideologies, instead of stripping them to components and evaluating each component on its merits.
Isn't that the difference between sovereignty and self-governance? HK is self-governing in a lot of ways, but it's not a sovereign state, so it exists at the mercy of China. I don't know to what degree HK's independence is guaranteed by international treaties vs. agreements that are purely internal to China. If there's no international agreement with entities outside of China to honor HK's independence, surely the Chinese government could overrule the local government when it sees fit (like the US Federal government taking precedence over state governments when there are conflicting laws and interests).
Is there really an interesting question here, though? The art world has for years had no difficulty trading in immaterial works of art, or, for example the right to exhibit a performance. In the case of something simple that anyone could reproduce, like a very simple performed gesture, what actually gets sold is the right to assert that a given performance is actually an authentic, canonical instance of the work.

I've never encountered any interesting nuances or complexity when it comes to the sale of conceptual work. It is just very straightforward.
> Modern corporations are run like totalitarian, authoritarian regimes with top-down orders being barked down. If you disobey, you're out.
People in Western democracies are no longer putting up with non-democratic control of their political institutions, but are completely oblivious to non-democratic control of their economic institutions and are perfectly willing to take orders where and when it matters most -- every day, 9 to 5.

This sounds strikingly socialist.

As a small business owner, the one who took the risk to start it, invested my own savings, and put things together so I could coordinate selling products with paying employees, you're damn right it's my regime. If I didn't think it would be mine, I never would have started it. The future rewards would be non-existent, relevant to being a cog somewhere else. And my customers would never get the added value of what I make from the business I never would have started.

Instead of having increased ownership, autonomy, and earnings potential, I have to negotiate and play politics with other people who I know aren't as intrinsically motivated as myself? Forget it, that's entirely unrealistic. Think about what you're saying - this is not how value, wealth, and prosperity is created. Nobody is going to vote me out of being CEO, because if that were possible I wouldn't have put in the tough work (and created the value) that goes along with being a CEO.

And the capitalist system works fine, because if these employees think I'm doing a shit job, they do have a vote: leave and start their own company. The parts that don't work are actually the more socialist parts of the system, such as bailouts for big behemoth, and regulatory barriers to starting competitors.

Sorry pal, but surface-level idealism doesn't square with real-life incentives and rewards. What I'm in favor for is reducing regulations and other burdens so that you or any employees in general have the option of starting their own companies and competing with me. That's a much better way for them to "take" the value of my shares, rather than just voting it to themselves with no work done.
Doesn't matter how they feel, it matters how they vote.

Average servers don't tend to have much.

Storage servers do tend to do stuff to dampen vibration, but then it's a question of storage density. When you've got something like a backblaze pod that's 60 drives in 4U of space. It'd be more unusual to have 60 drives in total in a rack full of normal servers. Now consider 60 drives / 4U, and you'll have multiple of these storage pods in a rack. It adds up.
Like conservatives, liberals are not a unified bloc. Look at the Bernie and progressives, who roundly criticized Hillary for her support of expanding executive power and the war on terror.
