Exactly! In a past life I had purchased a 1973 S30 with the intention of swapping in an LS-1 from an old Camaro, GTO or Corvette. I quickly changed my mind on that and decided on an RB26DETT because it's still a Nissan motor and the price isn't much different.

Life happened and that project had to be abandoned but I would really like to give it a go one of these days. At this point I think the SR20DET is the ideal motor for an S30.

The RB26 still has a very strong appeal however...

I'll thank you to reconsider your projections of people you've never met.
Just looked up the Fidget Cube. It is $22?! Yet the Stress Cube "knockoff" is under $5. It is a little plastic and vinyl cube with some switches.

Not to mention the Fidget Cube is still on pre-order whereas it looks like the Stress Cube has been available since around the end of last year.

Is it a kinda crappy thing to do? Yeah I think so. However how on earth are Antsy Labs not selling these things yet?
Yet another idea I wish I have gone through with
When ever it's beneficial to them and makes them more money. If you believe otherwise, you're a fool. Too bad they didn't step up when Obama started to wiretap the whole world what is much bigger issue. They and their companies should have cut all the ties with the fascist government, but most likely knowingly let their companies to participate.

I don't support Trump, but Altman and PG lack balls, are cowards and hypocrites.
"There is a real scarcity of tech skilled workers in the US."

That is a blatant falsehood it only exists due to "culture fit" where you can only hire a skilled tech worker if they're also a 20-something white male Stanford grad living in SV or maybe NYC.

Try just considering hiring a person of color or a woman. There's a hell of a lot of them, they're not much worse at their jobs than the young white boys, but on the coasts they are not allowed in the industry at this time.

No matter how far left wing tech people socially signal, that kind of person will never ever hire a woman or PoC. Yet here in the TrumpenReich rural heartland far from the coasts I've worked with a cool (South AFAIK) Korean dude and a Jamaican and I know some awesome female IT professionals.

If you want to hear about how great women and PoC are, you have to move to the coasts, but if you want to actually get a job with women and PoC you need to go right wing heartland, which sounds weird but is so true.

I live in one of the most segregated metro areas in the country far from the coasts, yet my neighborhood has a higher percentage of blacks than Google employees has a percentage of blacks. Huh. Klan-land is more diverse than coastal tech, you wouldn't guess that from how far left they talk.

I know I sound harsh but PoC and women are wasting their time trying to get jobs on the coasts; tech industry is far too racist and sexist to hire them. They can get jobs away from the coasts and in my experience they do really well.

My experience with decades of corporate speak indicates that corporations always talk the opposite of what they do. In the heartland we don't have "womens coding classes" and PoC outreach because we don't need them, instead of providing lip service we actually hire them instead.
The fix for the dynamic screen brightness is to flash a firmware that dell provides for the HIDPI display. If you have the 1080p display, you are out of luck.
I think it will affect US more in negative way. I may be wrong but it's my perspective.
The companies will do more outsourcing and the companies like TCS, Infy will not bring people in US.
We are living in communication age and their is nothing can be done remotely. So why I need to pay double when I can do same work with 1/4 of salary.Many captive companies already sending less people to US.

In other words US will get less talent and less benefit of talented engineers from India, China. More and more work go outside the more loss of US.
Not really, which is why I generally oppose special rules for startups. No way to make sure that it's bona fide startups using them.

This would seem to be a shift from earlier speculation that Uber would be seeking to build their own cars (or are they more narrowly focused on building their own autonomous driving capability for any vehicle?).
That's an excellent article, thanks.

This is neat. Also, there's nothing saying that a Mars trip couldn't bring a set of gut flora pills, each diverse and different, to be taken periodically. While sampling and isolation are interesting in their effects, actually harvesting nutrition as well as possible will be mission-critical. This seems like an easy, inexpensive safeguard.
I am neutral on this issue. At this point my personal opinions have been widely exposed so everyone should have clear perspective on where I'm coming from, which I'm more than happy to provide. But even with this reply, you seem to be persisting in the claim that I'm not neutral as it relates to this EO on immigration based on the fact that I voted for Trump and/or that I recognize a strong anti-Trump bias in the media.

That's what's grating here. You're saying that you don't intend to shame or denigrate, but then you make claims that appear intended to discredit me based on my opinions on unrelated issues, like media bias.

A vote for Trump does not automatically mean one endorses/agrees with every action he takes whilst in office, nor does acknowledgement of the mostly blatantly biased and hostile reporting in modern history.

Anyway, I do appreciate the apology and your participation in the discussion. Echo chambers are very tiring, and HN is one of the only places one can come and have this type of debate with only the minor downside of losing 50 karma overnight. :P
I'm happily engaged in a DevOps startup and won't pursue this idea, but I proposed a new kind of news format shortly after the election at https://joshpadnick.com/2016/11/25/a-proposal-for-a-new-type.... Personally, I'd love to be a consumer of something like this, or to know if there are startups working on this.

The issue has nothing to do with fork or exec; if you have two threads in a process, and one calls setenv() while another calls getenv(), you can hit this issue.

Probably because top SV companies recruit PHDs from the Levant at an order of magnitude more than they recruit from inner city Chicago?

How is this not obvious to the people here on HN? How do the people on here who constantly get holier than thou about demographics in tech not see the obvious machinations? Seriously, look around your office right now and then ask yourself again why top tech companies care more about immigrants than other oppressed groups.

What do you think is more likely, that Google genuinely cares about the immigration of farmers from Libya, or that they have a couple physics PHDs from Iran driving huge amounts of search revenue?

Corporations don't have morality, they have profit motives. YC doesn't give a shit about immigrant rights any more than the unjust deaths of african americans around the US, they care about attracting certain demographics to apply as founders.
Just to follow this up for people skimming:

A high-profile author of the policy is on camera --- video you can easily find for yourself --- saying that they were tasked with devising a Muslim ban, and that he is proud of the legal chicanery they employed to make it "legal".

This subthread, of course, an entirely off-topic divergence from the subject at hand.

Not sure how you'd come to the conclusion that "large part of the JS community has started to settle on React", other than confirmation bias of reading Hacker News and a lot of recent discussion about what the new hotness is.

I'd rather use a gauge of number of people showing up at Meetups, number of jobs in job searches, etc.

At my current guess is that the AngularJS camp is at least 4x the size of the React, and even that number is likely low since Angular is a lot more stabilized in all the enterprise environments.
>"a ban on travelers from majority Muslim countries by a president who has promised his supporters a ban on Muslims" would that still be misleading?

That would be a very accurate summary. Not misleading in the slightest.

>" And if opponents of the ban called it a "Muslim ban", would media outlets be allowed to report on that fact?"

Absolutely, but it should not be presented as fact that "Donald Trump has enacted a Muslim Ban". "People have described this as a Muslim Ban" is a fair representation.

>For the record, I've seen NYT and BBC call this a "travel ban", "Trump's ban" and in quotes designed to indicate attribution "'Muslim ban'". All of these seem reasonable and factual

That is far more responsible. However if you google news search Muslim Ban on the day it was announced, this is Not what the majority of news sources were doing.
1) Subject matter expert. If you know a business/customer domain well, you're a decade ahead of fresh college grads. Many folks who have run their own businesses have invaluable insight into the pragmatics of staying alive in ways that a MBA just don't teach. This is especially true in contracting (e.g. engineering serices or military procurement). Knowing regulatory hurdles and how to navigate them is invaluable in domains where products/ services are constrained by formal processes (GLP, GMP, FDA, etc).

2) Rainmaker - writer of proposals and attractor of funding for new projects. This is an acquired skill (through experience of contract writing, practice in the domain, past business contacts, and knowledge of feasible business margins). In businesses where contracts are the life blood, this role is simply the most important person(s) in the shop. And this work is almost never done by folks with less than a ~decade of experience.
This is really cool! You see this more in video game companies to spur thoughts and creativity and improve each other. Do you guys team up at all ever to work on new ideas?

Yeah I know, that also wasn't meant as a criticism to the current DNC, it's more about the word 'Democratic party'.

You have to appreciate the irony of a `Democrat` filibustering a woman voting rights act.

But that's our current view. Reading press articles from back then when this issue was discussed in many countries in Europe is quite entertaining also.

Perhaps part of the problem is our desire to bundle solutions into grand theories, like supply-side economics or Marxism? I agree that we can beat a horse over and over again until there's nothing left to see, but small changes are how the world actually works. I can say "lowering taxes on producers of x can stimulate growth" or "increased public investment in industry y will resolve the problems it currently experiences" and those things occur all the time. But they also don't sell books.

EDIT: Perhaps a better way of stating this is our desire to package academically useful economic models into grand policy solutions.
I'm a supporter of the ACLU, my cousin even worked there for a bit. Regardless of your personal beliefs, it is clear that YC's involvement with the ACLU is a political decision which does not match their business model. They are even referencing the recent election and republican party's decisions as the reason they are doing it.

There were lots of civil liberties eroded during Obama's presidency, but YC & Sam Altman at no point in time stood up and said anything or did anything like they are doing now.
I think an important question to ask with regards to Democracy is "why do people believe the things they believe" or "how do they acquire their political beliefs?" The biggest influencers are likely 1) their family and 2) their friends. Essentially, they come from social interaction.

People need a (fun) way to increase the number of real social interactions they have with other people. What's really dangerous right now is that many (including Liberals) are socially shunning those who don't share their political beliefs (or are not pure enough in their beliefs). Pushing people to the fringes of society will just force them to find a home in the most extreme among us.

For a long time, Americans relied on social clubs that allowed people to engage in diverse political discussions but also build friendly relationships with others. I would like to see startups try to revive long lived, persistent social organizations that are aimed first at building a friendly community among its members and second at making people listen to different points of view.
Raise the minimum wage to $20/hour.

Watch as "serious economists" lie about:

* All of the jobs that will actually not disappear.

* All of the prices that will actually not rise (by much).

And try really really hard to pretend that:

* Raising the minimum wage doesn't channel profits into the pockets of workers.

What surprises me isn't that they lie. What surprises me is that people continue to believe them.

From your link: "She then said Xiao had contacted her and did not want to exaggerate the incident, according to the report."

I'm not sure the incident could be exaggerated, given China's propensity to execute those convicted of corruption/embezzlement. They kidnapped a billionaire in another country with the likely intent to kill him sooner or later.
It would also be interesting to see if the personnel involved in the engineering correlated with failure rates.
I can't think of a good way to put it without just giving examples, so here goes:

1.0 = 100% usage of a 1-core system
1.0 = 50% usage of a 2-core system
4.0 = 50% usage of an 8-core system
8.0 = 100% usage of an 8-core system

And IIRC, load average is represented usually as 3 numbers, which are over the last 5, 10, and 15 minutes.
Obama produced EO that were unenforceable and deemed overreaching (i.e. not legal to enforce). Yet, he was seen as acting in good faith during the DAPA[1] dispute, and no one in their right mind would propose that then President Obama should have been called out by his AG, and imprisioned for attempting tyrannical action.

I think mostly its because Obama's acts were considered "compassionate" and right by some. Others with a more cynical view would say that issuing an EO that is entirely to the benefit of foreign nationals who are guilty of illegal acts against the United States is bordering on treason.

[1]

What was DAPA? It ensured that federal funding could be used to provide benefits such as healthcare and schooling to migrants who did not comply with immigration law.
For startups working on improving democracy, I'd suggest you start helping these three groups in any way you can:

Creating a more fair representation in government that doesn't only involve the duopoly parties as well as getting money out politics should be the two main priorities before anything else. Unless these two things are fixed first, everything else will continue to be broken.

This appears to be an aspect of the anti-corruption drive that has been holding billionaires and politically connected people high up in the Chinese government to account of the law, with Xiao Jianhua caught in financial fraud.

The controversy here isn't that China took Xiao Jianhua in to face the law, but that he was taken from Hong Kong, where an agreement with Britain gives its former colony de facto autonomy within its small borders until 2047 - which disallows Chinese police from entering there on their own until that time.

I haven't seen any reports yet about whether there has been cooperation with the Hong Kong provisional government (which would make his capture legal). Then, it's hard to determine exactly what happened as the source linked here hasn't done that investigation yet - and is reporting on rumors that there was a small (but notable if true) sovereignty violation.
Interesting project. But how is it going to be useful though?
Yeah Canada seems like a safer place for foreigners right now. US visas and even green cards are no longer worth as much because Trump has demonstrated he is willing to invalidate them at his whim.

Trump just now barred from entry (effectively deported) all visa holders (including H1-Bs) from 7 Muslim countries who happened to be outside the US for vacation when his Executive Order hit. He also tried to do the same to green card holders (but the courts stood up to him so he backpedaled).
A Muslim ban is what Trump campaigned on. A Muslim ban is what Trump asked his team to design [1] according to his own people. And this is as close as Trump can get legally to a Muslim ban with an executive order right now.

The reflexive attempts to relativize and normalize this immigration ban with the same old worn "oh people are just overreacting because they are not as clever as me/don't really understand what's really going on" reaction deeply troubling.

I can't say much about being motivated, but for me lack of opportunity to learn and try out new things can be very demotivating. Nothing stop me from doing so after work in a side project, but that still doesn't make the 'I wish I could use this in my day job' thought disappear.

(My current hack is to learn something that has no use in the day job after work.)

Sounds like you made the right decision. Also sounds like they didnt treat you like adults or People for that matter, just employees that are nothing more than employees.
I think this is the only relevant point here. For example, the Washington Post has only referred to it as a "travel ban". The phrase "Muslim ban" appears in opinion headlines, or a couple times when it is directly stated to be a quote. The New York Times uses "travel ban" and "immigration ban". It is newsworthy than members of congress and many organizations have called it a "Muslim ban" but news organizations are not directly using that phrase.
So the next question is did the ranking snow ball more revenue, or is the story ranking has a steep falloff AND it has no marketing value.

I don't think it's too strong. Meditation is a wholistic activity, if anything is. It involves putting your entire body in a relaxed state and mind being aware. With bad quality of breathing, which is what you get from "chest-breathing" it is impossible to properly relax. Here's what the mayo clinic says about breathing in meditation:

"Relaxed breathing. This technique involves deep, even-paced breathing using the diaphragm muscle to expand your lungs. The purpose is to slow your breathing, take in more oxygen, and reduce the use of shoulder, neck and upper chest muscles while breathing so that you breathe more efficiently."

http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/meditation/in-dep...

I would challenge someone to find any (good) resource on meditation that recommends chest breathing. I'm sure there are resources out there that recommend chest breathing for meditation, but they are either (1) uninformed or simply not carefully edited, as in website we're discussing in this thread, or (2) it's something way different from the normal, garden variety, meditation that beginners should be doing (which website in our discussion is not).
To quote a renown yogi, "mysticism starts where mastery ends."

Apart from calmness and concentration, a significant benefit provided by such practices is emotion control, meaning you can choose the emotion you want to experience. Not only stimulus and reaction decouple, but you conciously produce stimulus, and choose reactions to foreign stimuli. This concept of real choice is hard to imagine for those who haven't experienced it.
Yes you are right that he had done so. And if he had signed into law a ban people coming to the country based on their religion, then the papers plastering "Trump enacts Muslim Ban" would be accurate. But that is not the case.

Virtue signaling over poor Appalachian Americans or black-on-black violence is not very fashionable.
"living just fine" is pretty much the definition of living wage. Having extra is having more than living wage. Having enough to get ahead is earning a really nice wage.
In comparison to Esterel:

1. Dynamic abstractions with lexical scope (vs. mostly static language). You can dynamically spawn code into a lexically-scoped pool.

2. Internal/fine-grained determinism (vs. external determinism). All statements execute in a deterministic order. E.g., if you have two printf's in parallel awaking from the same event, they will execute in lexical order.

3. Safe integration with C. When calling a C function that returns a pointer (e.g., "malloc"), Céu forces you to write a finalization clause (in which you can call "free"). If this code is somehow aborted, the "free" is called automatically.

4. Timers as first-class events (e.g., "await 1s"). Besides the convenience, Céu adjusts timers in sequence, e.g., if a first timer awakes a little bit late (due to system overhead), the timer in sequence will compensate.

5. Internal events are stack-based (vs. queue based). This allows co-routine-like functionality, resumable exceptions, and some other mechanisms.

6. Event-based logical notion of time (vs. tick based). A single event can occur at a logical time (related to #2).

[EDIT] Didn't mention that these are "advantages" depending on the context. Esterel targets hardware synthesis and also hard real-time systems. Dynamic abstractions might be irrelevant, fine-grained/sequential determinism in hardware might be inefficient, a tick is closer to a hardware clock, etc...

In comparison to Lustre:

Very different programming mindset.
IIRC, in Lustre you define equations and the system is responsible for keeping them up-to-date/correct.
It is a data-flow language (vs control-flow), closer to FRP than Céu/Esterel.
None of this should be surprising after 9-11 and the Patriot Act.
