If you have Social Proof, you know you have it. If you are not sure, then you don't have it.

Social Proof could mean:
- You are a Serial Entrepreneur
- A famous Business Angel invested in your company
- You graduated from a University with a great Alumni Network
- etc.

Basically if a potential investor evaluates your Market, Traction or Business Model, then you already lost. If a potential investor invests, because he thinks other investors want to invest, then this is Social Proof.

For example you are talking one hour with a potential investor:

If you talk 90 % of the time about who else is investing and about how to structure the investment round, then you have Social Proof. If you instead talk 90 % of the time about how big the market is, what your revenue model will be any why your churn rate only decreased 2 % in the last month, then you don't have Social Proof.

Also if the potential investors talks about making the investment bigger to increase your run rate and increase your leverage for a Series B, you have Social Proof. If instead the potential investors is asking you if you can decrease your burn rate or recommends you to raise a smaller amount, then you don't have Social Proof.

FWIW, this posting doesn't appear to be an official Medium announcement, just something written (badly) on their platform by a third-party.

Surely not. This stuff is disgusting to watch. I dont see how it would help for anything other than getting access to even more personal data of their citizens and avoid skilled people from other countries to consider the U.S. as interesting destination.
@espeed didn't ask if you contributed significantly to the lecture, they asked if you'd seen it. Please stick to the question!
No, there is something wrong with the Rust version. I added println!("{:?}",x); to the end, and now I get 134 second runtime.

Also the output is [[NaN, NaN, NaN], [NaN, NaN, NaN]], which is a bit worrying...
I think you mean a combination of sub and add (e.g. sub sub add). xor is somewhat special in that it is its own inverse.
I think I remember you giving a talk about this at SmashTheStack in Malmo, Sweden.

I believe I asked then about maybe having support for non-debian systems and eventually something like Windows in the distant future.. What kind of support would you need for it to be worthwhile investing in that?

As for the cholesterol, the study I linked was probably not a very good example - sorry.
Saturated fat does raise cholesterol however - so unless you are on a vegan low carb diet, you will see it rise. (IF you keep your weight steady, weight loss almost always lowers cholesterol)
Why would I subscribe to Medium in the hope that it becomes some sort of real organisation, with good writing, when those already exist? Sorry, but I think I'll just keep paying for The Guardian, The LRB, N+1, MIT Technology Review etc and patronising my local bookshops.

I'm not poopooing the idea of Medium going subscription, FWIW, but this author's call to arms is a bit ridiculous.
I have not heard of BLS Pascal, but it is possible to run Turbo Pascal (version 3, I think) on CP/M, which I intend to do when I have the OS in place :-)
While such predictions may have been made before, surely as circumstances change it becomes more likely for it to be possible? If you go back 20 years or so, I can remember people confidently predicting that it would be impossible for computers to have human-like vision, and that it was an 'impossible' problem. And look where we are now.

I think it's often difficult to appreciate that one's own profession could be replaced by some code, but it's an issue that many areas of the working population will have to deal with in our (and our children's) lifetimes - what has happened with physical work - automation such as robots and machines will happen with the work we do with our minds in many cases.

I like to think about this algebraically:

a1 = a0 ^ b0
b1 = b0 ^ a1 = b0 ^ (a0 ^ b0) = (a0 ^ b0) ^ b0 = a0
a2 = a1 ^ b1 = (a0 ^ b0) ^ a0 = (b0 ^ a0) ^ a0 = b0

The xor-linked list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_linked_list) is another neat idea along the same theme.
I get the one time pad size argument (as well as the analog that a shorter key is therefore a hashing function in some respect?).

The thing I found curious though is that the legal argument seems to depend not on providing your encryption key (which is generally assumed to be protected), but the act of decryption.

In the absence of the key, any plaintext produced from a ciphertext is... questionable?
Show HN: Reinventing Capacity Planning with Predictive Analytics and AI

I think we focus on diet over environment too much. It isn't just what you eat but how you get around that is vital to tackling the cardiovascular epidemic.

The only evidence that I currently have available is the Netherlands. The only western country to have a reducing obesity index, by 2030, predicted to be 8.5% down from 10%. Their diet is a very typical western diet.

However their transport system and their urban planning is hugely focused on prioritising walking and cycling with good provision of local amenities within easy cycling distances. Yes, you build higher density urban environments, but this is a good thing.
I remember this from when I stumbled upon it way back (2003?). Back then under the title "when zeppelins attack".

And who would you prefer in the pilot's seat?

To say suggest that you don't understand something without a formal underlying theory is one view, but not mine. I feel like I understand English (as in a deep understanding, not just the ability to interpret sentences) without anything like a set of rules, and everything like a set of experiences akin to a pilot's experience with flight.
Thank you, I will write and publish much more documentation as soon as possible :-) It is a four layer PCB, one for Vcc, one for ground and the other two for signals. I designed it in KiCad and ordered it from PCBWay.com.

I will also upload the schematic etc. if anyone wants to have a look or create one their self. However, if anyone wants to build it, it may be a bit expensive due to the high IC count.
how the fk they done that? I'll research dat function & reverse engineering it this night!
Oh, the frothing pre-dates Trump by a long way. It seems to be a self-sustaining mode in US politics, this deep paranoia about conspiracies.

Has there been much traction for getting major chip manufacturers to implement this? I know they're all looking for the next big thing and Intel is working on specialized neuromorphic chips.

Trans fat from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is (mostly) Elaidic acid, which is probably harmful. Butter contains other trans fats, like Vaccenic acid. We don't know much about the long-term health effects of Vaccenic acid.
This knowledge should be more widespread imo, pretty sure there are still people out there assuming CDs are like indestructible. Once I started a job and after a couple of months I discovered there was a closet containing hundreds of CD-Rs all neatly labelled and seemingly containing things like fMRI data used in research. You should have seen the faces of colleagues and the guy responsible for the backups of their data when I told them CD-Rs where not exactly the most durable way of storing important data. (I figured this out because of the very first audio cd copies I had started to develop unexplained errors). They didn't believe me so I randomly picked a couple of discs and like the third one was completely unreadable (I/O errors on ls or so, don't remember).
If state matters, shouldn't we consider using Server Sent Events (SSE)?
I did something similar storing the information in PostgreSQL but made the inserts/updates/deletes based on the events of s3. If an object was stored it would insert into the database. If it was deleted it would soft delete in the database. Worked out well for me.

For nuclear incidents, I'm worried the next one will be in China, not in the states. China is building dozens of nuclear power plants, too quickly for the amount of trained technicians, critics say. There is also a disregard for nuclear safety standards. Last year there were 16 publicly reported incidents at Chinese nuclear power stations. According to RadioFreeAsia [1],

> Six [of the 16] incidents involved staff members breaching operational guidelines, and four were caused by a lack of internal communication. More worryingly, six were caused by staff members "pressing the wrong buttons."

which shows a lack of training. Another incident, described by the SCMP, tells how a critical alarm system was accidentally turned off 3 months before anyone noticed [2]

>An alarm system monitoring the radiation of reactor coolant at a nuclear power plant in Shenzhen was accidentally shut down for three months before the mistake was discovered, although a safety committee insisted the incident did not constitute a safety breach.

An official on the "Nuclear Power Station Nuclear Safety Consultative Committee" downplayed the incident saying "There was no harm done.", adding "there is always room for improvement for such a large operation."

>Leaving aside the question of where the money and land comes

The money would come from "people's QE" and lifting the housing revenue account cap.

Building UP, as I mentioned before, is a better way of packing more people in than creating sprawling suburbs in the green belt. For a city its size London's density has been ridiculously restrained.

>both main parties have announced impressive housebuilding targets at the last few GEs, and nobody's even come close to hitting them

Neither Blair's government nor the Tories have ever had any intention of building council housing, instead setting targets for the private sector.

>If "no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change", then even if under the current government councils manage to build a zillion new homes, won't the next Osbornean Tory or Blairite Labour government just give them all away again as electoral bribes

Would you prefer people didn't have homes? Just say it if that's what you want.

>My gut feeling is that the #1 problem is excessive lending on housing and way too much tolerance for housing as a speculative investment.

The financialization of housing exacerbated the problems caused by the shortage of housing, they obviously didn't create them.

It's the same. The contention is that unlocking the phone yourself does not require actually providing your PIN. You're only being required to provide your phone in an unlocked state.
I totally get your perspective.

For anybody who's confused about it - watch a couple of documentaries about wild life from BBC and meditate about the fact that in the grand scheme you are no more than a Gnu sipping water while a crocodile silently approaches. The Gnu maybe dies - maybe not - did it deserve that fate - wasn't it entitled to more life? Seeing its children grow up?

And that ignores the fact that not all of those airports are going to have the same airline coverage as the major ones (namely: SFO and LAX) - and even if they do, certainly not with a significant selection of flights, and certainly not at readily-affordable rates. To the average traveler, they might as well not exist; even Amtrak or Greyhound are more viable.

Also, again: weather is still a major factor for any airport.

If you would like to stay as independent as possible and keep your business in the long term, I would recommend to try with one of the currently ongoing EU investment programs - there is also one fond for smale-scale investment (like single person startups etc.) - definitely it is possible to get "free money" without high risk atm, but you must do the paperwork yourself:

Removing “highlights from other users” would be appreciated, IMO they are distracting and pointless.
So you agree that it's fine for people (perhaps even yourself!) to work for a wage for delivering goods and services to customers.

You just don't want people to be able to make a return on invested capital. And you also want to have labor & environmental standards.

It seems you've moved the goalposts.

The bigger concern is their ongoing removal of features. Linkedin are opening the door for a competitor like glassdoor to add personal profiles with a better user experience.
> Milk cows are continually raped for the duration of their lives

This is misleading and utter bullshit (no pun intented). By that reasoning, every routine examination at the gynecologist or proctologist would constitute rape.

We have no reason to suspect that a cow feels "raped" during artificial insemination, or anything more than slight physical discomfort.
Z80 micros are a lot of fun. I was looking for a kit last year and ended up building this one:

>>>Normal bodies don't require calorie tracking

> Why not? It's a skill necessary to adapt to circumstances our bodies didn't evolve in (that is constant and unlimited access to food)

Perhaps not normal bodies, but certainly some bodies. I don't count calories. Sometimes I eat ridiculously large meals. Sometimes I snack on calorie-dense foods all day. But my weight has been basically constant since I stopped getting taller. Although I haven't measured it, it must be that I'm compensating by eating less (or at least less energy-dense) on other days. I do this without trying, or even thinking about it: I simply eat as much as I want to, whenever. When other people do the same, they gain weight. Obviously, they're eating more calories than they're burning, and I'm not, but why?
(Interview) Building PCBs with Python and SKIDL
That's not the narrative here. The narrative here is that they did have the tools they needed to identify the threat in advance, but for reasons basically of venal nest-feathering corruption those tools were not used, and so the attack proceeded unhindered.

You've only got Bill Binney's word for it, to be sure. But let's not lose sight of the matter at hand in the rush to make points which are strongly held but tangential.
I agree it started before that. The difference is the lack of predictability under Trump. There's no doubt China is still far more authoritarian, for example, but it's government is fairly predictable.
I get what you're saying, but it's an "all food will be cooked by machines"* argument; yes there are robochefs which can produce doughnuts, noodles, pizzas, etc; but there's an ever-expanding area of innovation and niche-filling that humans are really good at. Ask any Michelin-starred chef, or freelance software engineer.

Software engineering is not a zero-sum game where the AIs rise to the exclusion of humans - it's an expanding space.

*and then there's the meta: does using an oven qualify as cooked-by-machine?

Then work on that. Or try to partner with someone who has that

How? Mingle. Go to meetings. Network "horizontally" (in your tech segment) and "vertically" (in your business segment).

One way you're not getting that is by being the foreigner just off the plane (or even there for a couple of years) that can't speak German

There's actually a funny series of bilingual books about "How to be Berliner/How to be German" that are kind of tongue-in-cheek but it gets on the overall mindset

If you have enough time, it might be worth going somewhere like Betahaus [0] and meeting some people there.

Quite a good comment. I had never considered that taking the free market as a premise might not be the correct decision.

On further reflection, I still think it is the correct decision.

If someone wants to rent a property more badly than anyone else wants to (i.e. they are willing to pay more) then why shouldn't they get it instead of the others? This will push prices up, but that's a natural effect of allocating scarce resources to whoever wants them most.
about the idea people can spend entire careers design something like a wiper system. industrial and mechanical engineers never cease to amaze me. part of the reason I am a computer engineer is I didn't have the patience and such for those. the amount people in those fields affect every day life is undervalued and underestimated, nearly everything you see, touch, and use, involves those skills.

as for wipers and windshields, damn people clean your windshield weekly at least. being a motorcyclist I tend to spot certain elements about the cars and people I see on my trips and dirty windshields annoy me and many are dirty on the inside more than outside. that affects your safety and others!

That's the rationale for the concept of CO2e, the amount of CO2 that is equivalent to the emission. So emitting 1 kg of CO2 and 1 kg of a GHG that is 2x as potent as CO2 would be expressed as emissions of "3 kg CO2e".
