Assuming you have a router that you control (i.e. not the modem/router Comcast rents you), I don't understand how this is possible from a technical standpoint. How would your ISP know that a device on your network was a TiVO? Do they just blanket null route hbogo[dot]com? Does anyone have the details?

Edit: Do you know that you can set a 'season pass' on your TiVO for any show? Personally, I'm just aggressive and set-up any show as a season pass
So he's never been a partner and doesn't work "very closely with the companies." Yet he's still affiliated with YC?

Actions speak louder than words: drop him or acknowledge that YC at some level acknowledges his views (this isn't bad, or good, just something that should be done in my view).

Even something as simple as "we acknowledge that people have differing political views, yadda yadda... would be sufficient).

Why say anything about him? Well, clearly he's the elephant in the room. They should acknowledge this and move on.
If you don't like the way the company treats you as a (potential) customer, then don't subscribe to their service.

This isn't like AT&T. For one thing, cable television is a luxury service, not a necessity for modern life like telecommunications (telephones back in AT&T/Ma Bell's days, cellular + internet these days). Secondly, the regulatory environment back then was rather different. These days, the government doesn't really believe in strong regulation, and we've elected a new administration and Congress who greatly oppose regulation, even more than the previous ones.

So again, if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. And if you're mad that the government isn't reining in a monopoly, you can blame your fellow voters for that.
If you have your ballot encoded on a punch card, you should be able go a pc with a punch card reader at the polling place and see what is actually encoded on it. The software to read the card could also be open source.

Or you could have an app on your phone that snaps a photo and reads it according to the settings published by the municipality where you are voting.

All that can happen before you give it to a poll worker.

I'm a gamer and developer in high performance stuff. I've seen a concrete improvement in both average performance and responsiveness in going from win 7 to win 10 on the same machine.
Not viable until they support Linux which they've put zero effort into doing even though it's been requested for years. I used to use it in Wine which was decent but the Chrome extension couldn't talk to the app which makes using it a terrible UX (open app, search for pass, copy, paste, over and over).

Those are certainly interesting topics. But the bigger point is that it's not the President's job to, at the drop of a hat, start bullying and threatening people in far-off branches of government to do his bidding on whatever micro-issue happens to roil his rapidly calcifying brain at 2 in the morning.

(Along with the fact that he couldn't begin to about protecting free speech generally; but rather, free speech for his fanboys and trolls. But that's of secondary importance).
How did they "kill patches"?
It took some effort but I did make Win 10 reasonably snappy for me on a Lenovo Ideapad designed for Win 8 with a few tricks: Using a script to disable all the tracking(the only thing I haven't disabled, but probably should, is the SmartScreen protection, which kicks in obnoxiously frequently and wrecks the drive), going to 16GB of RAM so that it stops swapping, disabling all the graphics features except for font smoothing, and switching to NexusFile for day-to-day file operations. There are still instances where I click on something that uses Explorer and it sits there uselessly for a few seconds, and the initial boot or recovery from sleep mode can sometimes be a doozy, but this is now more exceptional than not.
I think what you are up against is that Google being Google, they can afford to commit a large number of Type 1 errors in hiring engineers (rejecting good engineers) and still remain the top company. It's nothing personal.
It's not as though we can derive some hard cutoff on how little sleep is clearly negligent. We're talking about wide ranges and tolerances for different people in different circumstances.

We're in the same situation with alcohol -- how much before you're actually impaired? -- but most states have responded to that reality with laws that prohibit driving after drinking almost any alcohol at all.

Are you sure you want a similar situation with respect to your sleep?

I assumed the OP was saying that since Thiel is uninvolved and currently busy working with the Trump administration they should cut ties. I can see how you can draw your conclusion as well, but it seems a little unforgiving. Hanlon's razor might apply here.

Why specifically computing devices? Everything else can be used against you without your consent. I mean obviously you should be allowed to encrypt your stuff if you want to, but I don't see what's so inflammatory about this example. This guy did give his consent when he got a pacemaker installed, presumably so his doctor could give him better treatment by analyzing its data.
Of course you can, given a set of axioms. Hey, what does that remind me of..

> The employer of John Carmack is buying his work product for as long as he remains an employee. The company cannot buy his knowledge and expertise from him, as that is an integral and indivisible part of him.

This is the entire point of non-compete agreements. To deny competitors the expertise the person has developed during their time at your company.
Why? Seems unfair to ban someone over their political views. Specially when they're from the winning party. He was right to bet on Trump, if anything I'd want him closer.

Although I couldn't disagree more with your philosophy, I strongly encourage you to continue pursuing it in your personal life.

The left are politically resisting the right. This surprises you... why?

Boycotting companies and pressuring businesses to not work with organisations politically incompatible to your own views is not exactly a new concept. For example, there are currently calls from the right to boycott Starbucks because they intend to hire refugees. Not long ago there was a campaign to boycott Star Wars: Rogue One. Suggesting that the left shouldn't be doing this because they are "tolerant" doesn't really make sense.
No, we want him to fail because if he succeeds, from our point of view, the country fails.

If you are trying to optimize for whatever parameters, then maybe there are better parts. But for something simple and basic like that, its fine.

- Wake up at 430-5 (Used to use an alarm, now it is a natural thing. I am also asleep by 930pm and usually catch a couple of naps over the weekend).

- Take my dog out, hit the restroom, have breakfast

- Train on my bike for 1-1.5 hours

- Try real hard to catch my bus at 735. I usually miss nowadays, So I hitch a ride with my wife at 845 to the bus stop.

- reach by 915 or so. Coffee and coding. I try to get some coding done in one block in the morning and one more in evening.

- lunch at 1130 - HN at this time, and when am waiting for meetings etc.

- ride back home by 630 or so. I reach by 730 or so.

- couple of hours with the fam

RE transition: I have tried many 'methods' and clocks etc. but nothing beats intrinsic motivation: I try to work towards that. (Having goals that matter, finding real work that I love etc). I ride and train hard on my bike because I want to. I work because I want to. There are days / weeks when I get into a slump when there is lower productivity, but C'est la vie. Trying hard to be productive is usually a drain / anxiety inducing thing for me anyway - so I have just come to accept the cycles in my life :)

I think it's safe to assume that a greater percentage of Trump voters are cable TV subscribers than non-Trump voters. So I don't see the problem; the Trump supporters are getting what they voted for.
Because he's one of the most successful businessmen+investor of our time?

So is Trump, two powerful industry magnates cooperating to make a country as great as it can be, what's wrong with that?

Thiel is the only reason I applied in YC.
This is a big reason why a US company might prefer immigrant workers. Local workers tend to treat their jobs more as transactions and less like a relationship with their employer. Immigrant workers come with built in motivation to stick to their employers and stay loyal.
Here's one simple model: launch new containers into the load balancer pool (having the new code), and shutdown old containers. This can be done in an incremental way so you get a staged rollout with no downtime.

Even if they are responsible, not receiving insurance coverage for a very expensive mistake like this could run someone's life into the ground. Sometimes, imperfect information helps us lift each other up. I'm all for accountability, but we don't want to leave people hanging out to dry with no second chances either.
Yeah, I know they all make use of godef, guru etc. but the way VSCode allows you to see declaration/documentation or full implementation on hover, integration with dlv etc. make it a nicer implementation for me than vim-go, but that's probably because I am not a ViM person myself.
An interesting distinction here: jkaptur says that an educated citizen "can", which I interpret as meaning that such a citizen possesses the ability to do or figure out how to do the thing, independently of whether they currently know it. This is different than your "must", which takes it a step further and defines things everyone should know.

I think an educated citizen should know how to, if they so desired, have an informed opinion on anything, whether it's current emission standards or the NSA's definition of collecting information. That citizen should be able to research and learn how to change the oil on their car, or to learn how a 4-stroke engine works.

emacs org-mode. Features:

- Flat files, allowing diffs and fast searches

- Built-in todo, calendar and punchclock workflows out of the box, right from within your notes.

- diagrams, attachments, links

- syntax highlighting, and code blocks can be executed!

- org-capture for special forms

I use emacs in both windows and linux. It is so worth the learning curve, and org-mode is one of the easiest and most rewarding entry points to emacs - it's how I started with emacs, and now I live in it.

No, in fact in that circuit the PN2222 is the only thing limiting current to your LED. If you switch that to a MOSFET you'll blow up your LED unless you add a series resistor. (are you sure you aren't already giving too much current to your LED?)

Does Peter Thiel still consider himself a libertarian? I just can't imagine how Trump's positions on immigration can be justified on libertarian grounds.

Well connection reliability is an issue, for a start.

I think the article is precisely not about professional mathematicians in academia. To quote: "If mathematics is a medium for human flourishing, it stands to reason that everyone should have a chance to participate in it." (my emphasis).

I solve Project Euler problems for fun. The article presents an argument that more people should do something similar, and more mathematicians and maths teachers should support it.

name-calling really isn't helping this discussion at all
I imagine Peter Thiel is on a small list of people that could leave YC and start an incubator on par. Probably best to keep him around.

p.s. We also never know how many individuals at YC personally hold views closer aligned with thiel or with sama or somewhere else completely who don't make a statement because they're not as bold / don't want to stick their name out.
This argument I don't understand. Carmack was tasked with making a Doom demo for VR, so he did. Why it is such a shocker that he worked on a company project with company time is a mystery to me. He even pushed Zenimax to make a releasable version, but the upper management thought VR was a waste of time which is why he left.
On what is the claim that the jury is supposed to know any party based on?

Edit: To be clear, I agree with your premise that knowing the defendant does not necessarily bias a jury in favor of the defendant. I don't think there's any reason to assume the jury should have any knowledge of anyone, though. In fact if you do, you'll probably get removed from the jury.
> Microsoft seem to have learned a lot from Java in designing their new .NET Core CLR

Of course they did. It's not a secret they designed it as a Java clone when the justice ruled they couldn't embrace the original one.

However, they missed something: cross-platformness. So essentially you get a windows only Java platform. That's why not everybody finds it impressive nor are looking forward to commit to using it everywhere (they wouldn't be able, though)

Given that I don't know of a single driver actually obeying the rules about mandatory breaks for long-distance travel, yes, I'd definitely want a similar situation with respect to sleep.

There is something weird about driving that makes most people feel they're smarter and better than everyone else, so they can ignore traffic laws at their discretion. That attitude costs quite a lot of lives every year.
Counterpoint: As I've said in other threads your front page should definitely have a clear, concise explanation, but I think your video explains it pretty clearly.

I do think a transparent pricing structure is important though. I generally assume that 'call us' means 'if you have to ask you can't afford it', and immediately skip over any service that doesn't let me immediately calculate a specific number I'll pay every month, and I assume that 'schedule a demo' is like 'schedule a webinar', and that you're targeting your business (and pricing structure) towards C-level execs or upper management rather than the people who are actually implementing policies.

I have google fiber. The speeds great and blows pretty much every commenter here out of the water.

So why am I posting? I'll tell you why. I have found a perverse interest in the fact it took google 18 months to drag fiber literally 250 feet to my house. I measured it. My neighbor had it. It took them 18 months. They kept telling me every quarter, it should just be two more months at the latest.

Do you know how long it takes cable companies to repair a downed power line?

Not 18 damn months! And that's if the power line is beamed up by aliens and disappears. Requiring an entirely new pole and cable run.

My point is there is no panacea so far. Cable companies suck, and milk the copper tit cash cow for all they can. They won't upgrade their infrastructure and will not compete with google fiber and other high speed offerings. But they do get work done on lines pretty fast.

Google screams in infrastructure but sucks at actual deployment. I'm really unimpressed with google. Gmail, android, fiber they just suck imo.

I'm more convinced now than ever that laws need to be revoked and cities need to deploy their own fiber to the home network at tax dollar expense and operate it like a utility. Open the backbone for leasing as well to interested parties at a fair price.

It's clear telcos and cable have a chokehold on the legislative. Things won't get any better. Competition won't increase. It's way beyond time to nuke the current system from orbit.
Not sure how I missed that, but it's been a while since I tried St so maybe it wasn't there then.

I would have to agree with this, but I disagree with out math is taught by most schools.

Somewhere in this thread there is a link to Francis's lectures and they are wonderful. The method/enthusiasm be has for teaching is wonderful and makes all the difference to students.

Rather than going through online courses and paying for them (many university classes are mostly online math problems, and proctored during a specific time.)

EDIT: The way math is currently taught really forces people to dislike math and think they suck at it. (in general)
