Who's the author? I'm coming up with two works under that title, and a few with very similar titles:

Update: OK, it looks as if Berger's is the landmark work.
Would you please stop posting like this? We've already asked you several times.

Unsubstantive, drive-by ventings add no value to others and tend to provoke much worse. We're hoping for a higher level of quality than that here.

Quick research suggests this timeline to me:

Summer 2014 Apigee raises last private funding at a $600M valuation

April 2015 Apigee IPOs at a valuation of $500M

By end of 2015 Apigee closes at a valuation of ~$250M.

So the company lost almost 2/3rds of its value probably right as the lockup period was expiring for employees to sell shares.
This is an asset for their users, not a liability.

If you were to try to compete with Snapchat on the basis of having history, you would fail.
It looks like the acquisition price per share ($17.40) was right around their IPO price of $17, so options wouldn't be underwater.

But before that the stock traded as low as $6. So during this time the employees' stock was underwater, whereas C level will have been able to sell a portion of their shares at IPO (vs employees waiting for their 6 month lockup to expire).

But the stock had recovered to $16+ before the acquisition so... I mean it's a public company. "Up and to the right" isn't always the case
> The problems only start once the "tribe" grows beyond 150. That's when the number of people involved is too great for the human brain to process the entire social network. Hence why formal organisations and hierarchy are now needed.

That's an interesting claim! Can we find any places where it doesn't hold up? Yep! In fact, there's a great book called Reinventing Organizations[1] where the author studied successful workplaces that have >100 people each. It's still a research project how to make these organizations work well, but the author and the community around that book are trying to gather working techniques because the benefits can be phenomenal (and that's empirical!)

Temporal AA can have issues with scrolling textures and stuff. I think there is a setting on the material to disable temporal AA around that area, but it may only be for translucency.

For a sort of flipbook mesh like that I could see it happening too. Not sure what your best option is. You can change around some variables on how big the temporal AA history filter is, but if you lower it enough to get rid of all that ghosting you may end up as bad off as the 2xMSAA in terms of how much AA you actually get out of it.

Your best bet may be trying a higher level of MSAA, r.MSAACount will control the level of it. With really dense meshes it can begin having a high cost.
You got a point :) But none of GNU is what I would call user friendly or mass-market ready.

As a professional, I love it.

But without canonical and his compromises, my mother wouldn't be able to use it today.

I'm glad I have a solid base, but creating something less radical on top of it will not destroy it.
This is the biggest risk I see with TSLA:

- Incumbent auto giants entrance diminishing Tesla's margins.

- Incumbent expertise and brand that diminishes Tesla's appeal.

- First mover disadvantage: rest of auto industry sees large initial ROI by piggybacking off Tesla

GM can't be the only guys racing to bring Tesla experience to it's existing brand followers. Luxury makers like BMW, Benz will woo the lion share of the market Tesla originally pioneered. First movers rarely do well here unless they've cemented their brand position in the luxury space such as Ferrari, Lamborghini etc.

tl;dr: When the status quo catches up to Tesla, it will put downward pressure. Tesla's winning strategy should be to limit quantity and artificially inflate unit price. It is not equipped to take on dozen automotive brands in the long run.

Please correct me where I'm wrong.

The old terminology was ESB, or enterprise service bus. It's Java based, and basically feels something like Tomcat, but with a bunch of add ons. Things like api management, various protocol connectors, data translation, pre-built integrations, and so forth. Like a hub that can run your code, plus talk to most of what you already have.
Genuinely curious. What law do you think she personally broke?

Lying to the media/public, though largely unethical, doesn't strike me as being illegal.

Piling back-breaking stress on an employee also doesn't strike me as illegal.
How to Reconcile Django Templates with React Components
Because fossil comes with a web server and a wiki, there typically is one blessed instance for any project. That's not too weird; after all, that's basically true fro pretty much everything maintained on GitHub too -- the only difference is you get the issue tracker and wiki in the repo.
Who says it's a noisy minority? I'm not talking about extremist actions like pulling fire alarms at university talks.

I'm talking about really basic things, like campaigning for more women to enter university (and not more men) despite the fact that women already greatly outnumber men in university. This isn't a fringe thing, it's core mainstream feminism. And it's exactly the opposite of "pushing for equality".

(You're right about Kim. Instead of writing his name, I should've written "North Korean government/society", to clarify that I'm talking about these groups and highlighting the gap between their stated principles and their actual actions.)
Money is a similar layered abstraction.
I have an asus gaming laptop. Basically the same story, even down to a logo that might be a face.

I've had it for several years now, 18" screen, and it is still plenty powerful.

The battery life is shit, that's the only drawback.
You are completely right, I hadn't considered that. This is what Zcash has to say about it:

Since the value sent between shielded addresses is private, how can we determine the number ZEC in circulation?

Currently, we know that every miner validates every transaction, and each transaction comes with a zero-knowledge proof that it doesn't violate conservation-of-money (i.e. a proof that the money coming out of the transaction is ≤ the money going into the transaction).

This reasoning depends on the soundness of the zero-knowledge proofs. If someone could get the miners to accept a transaction that created new money — if you could somehow forge a zero-knowledge proof or defeat the zero-knowledge-proof-verifier software in the miners — then you could counterfeit money.

We are investigating options for the future which would enable accounting for all ZEC in existance(sic). Stay tuned to our blog for any proposals on this matter.

The Technical Challenges of Seattle-Vancouver High Speed Rail: Part 1
Let me get this straight. Zerocoin has a bug, money gets stolen, the bug is fixed. Everyone in the comments lose their shit and call doom and gloom for all cryptocurrencies. The experiment is failed, centralization was right all along!

Meanwhile, centralized systems like credit cards are stolen en masse, identity theft abounds, anybody can file your taxes with the IRS and collect your refund, and an ACH can be initiated against your bank account using all the information helpfully printed on every check you hand to strangers... and no one bats an eye?

I don't get it.
There are hundreds of rc car parts sites, as well as robotics hobbyist shops, and industrial parts sites that carry generic plastic gears. If you insist on shopping in a brick and mortar store, of course it depends where you live. In my smallish city there's at least one surplus store that has many bins of small mechanical parts, including plastic gears. With the rise of the maker movement, there are more resources for things like that than there were even a few years ago.

If you are incapable of counting teeth or measuring things, I'm sorry, but most people could if they wanted to. And almost all people are capable of purchasing things online.

(That being said, some toys are now so cheap that it can be cheaper to replace than repair, especially if you have to pay shipping on the part but not the toy).
There are rumors of Dodd-Frank getting repealed [1].

Afaik Dodd Frank had increased the reporting burden of companies to the point where it was much more difficult to IPO at a .com era revenue stage. So maybe its repeal will have the side benefit of allowing young but operationally strong companies to use IPO as a viable fundraising avenue again.

[1] though the Wall Street implications worry me.
IIRC, ditz and evict and b-e and ticgit and... all don't solve a problem for public projects which fossil does: random people on the Internet need to be able to submit bug reports.
Empathy and perspective.

To tell someone they're wrong, first tell them how they're right [1]:

When we wish to correct with advantage, and to show
another that he errs, we must notice from what side he
views the matter, for on that side it is usually true, and
admit that truth to him, but reveal to him the side on
which it is false. He is satisfied with that, for he sees
that he was not mistaken, and that he only failed to see
all sides. Now, no one is offended at not seeing
everything; but one does not like to be mistaken, and that
perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see
everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side
he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are
always true.

People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which
they have themselves discovered than by those which have
come into the mind of others.

— Blaise Pascal

Empathy [2] (cognitive empathy) is the ability to put yourself in someone's shoes and see things from their perspective. Not everyone has the ability to empathize -- we often believe our level of empathy is like that of everyone else, but this is not the case. Cluster B personality types [3], those with Asperger's [4] or on the autistic spectrum, and some with ADHD lack the ability to empathize. Recent research out of Berkeley has shown than medication can help those with ADHD access their Executive Function and gain their ability to empathize [5].

In one of the comments on [5], Dr Charles Parker describes empathy as a two-step process:

"Empathy is a higher order function, more evolved with effective PFC [prefrontal cortex] activity than sympathy. Why? Sympathy indicates a certain subjective, feeling level, ability to emotionally reach across the room and identify with the pain of another. The only problem for those practicing sympathy is that, more often than not, they only take that first identification step, and too often get stuck in the other person’s pain. They can’t leave, and become emotionally lost over there. Empathy, on the other hand, requires good PFC Executive Function, with a metacognitively active two step process: 1. Trial identification with the other, and 2. Return to one’s full self for objective management of the other’s challenges. Good next-step advice doesn’t often arise from sympathy, but does often arise from empathetic considerations more objectively managed outside of a purely emotional reaction."

But you implied there was a 97.5% chance that the parent was right. You basically agreed with the previous post, while saying they were wrong.
Early 2013 rMBP 15"

It's still quite the workhorse and I'm happy with it. Besides needing a new battery after ~3 years, I'm not sold on the tradeoffs of upgrading to the touch bar model. If I could just buy this same machine again today, I would do that. My only complaint really is it'd be nice to have a matte screen but I don't think Apple even makes matte displays anymore.
> regulatory enforcement

The only place regulatory enforcement could hit Bitcoin is at the fiat exchanges, which are already beholden to KYC/AML.

> social stigmatization

People have already tried that; "Bitcoin is only for illegal drugs and guns!" Didn't work.
The Daily Mail is simply a somewhat (but not very) right wing paper, which attracts a lot of bile because it's successful. I routinely read far more extreme, nasty and divisive stuff in the Guardian these days.

The headline in question is because the judges had made an illogical judgement that wasn't supported by law or common sense, which had only one possible outcome; potentially delaying or blocking the implementation of a referendum result. Seeing them as enemies of democracy i.e. the people, is thus an entirely rational viewpoint even if you might not agree with it. Just like it'd be rational to call judges that if they decided that their personal interpretation of the law was that the last general election was void and they were now personally in charge. Being a judge does not give you carte blanche to do whatever you like.
Yeah, sorry, I get that. I just really got caught off guard.
Today's Facebook experience feels like the 1998 AOL silo if it had a 'Friends' keyword.
I would amazed if NLP that good existed.

Instead, I suspect top-down means something like "the part must span this bounding box, weigh no more than X grams, and survive the following forces..."
I'm convinced that we are taxing completely wrong. Money is earned using the shared resources of our society -- education, roads, communication, military, fire, police -- all paid for by taxes.
On top of that, we need to recognize that Congress also spends money through tax deductions and things not taxed. So we need to move away from taxes -- into taxing business that profits from those shared public resources so we can return profit to the public.
That's true, but also means that there's a fake intermediate stage that never actually existed in the WT, and hence definitionally was never linted or tested.
That's a good point, but another thing to consider is what the pyrophoric nature of silane indicates - highly unstable molecule. Even in an oxygen-free atmosphere, silicon hydrides just aren't that stable.
For me, it's countering subversion, being able to fix the tool, being able to extend the tool, and increasing labor supply of contributors with free or cheap tooling vs $100k a seat for some.
But Ethereum didn't pay out right? Didn't they fork to pull those coins back?
Some notes from the S-1:

* "Subscription and support" revenue is about $150M, with "professional services" about $30M. This is a software company with a services side, not the other way around. That's good as software companies tend to be valued around ~10x revenue and services companies only around 3x revenue.

* The company made $180M revenue in 2016, growing at ~70% / year, so it's probably on a ~$250M run rate right now.

* Last round of funding was raised at a $1.5B valuation. I imagine they'll try for 10-12x revenue, or $1.8B - $2.2B. Twilio is currently trading at around ~10x revenue.

* Sales & marketing spend is very heavy -- $122M of their $240M expenses, so about half, were due to sales and marketing. Engineering aka "research and development" only costs them 1/4 of that, or $30M / year. That's...okay I guess? It means growth is pretty expensive, but if they ever want to dial back that growth, they can rake in the $.

* Ownership: Big VCs own 68% of the firm, the original founder owns 6%, the current CEO owns 3%, other execs own another couple percent. Ownership of the other ~20% isn't clear, prob split between smaller VCs and employees.
Obviously I'm talking about code that is only using L1, and touching only registers.
Depends on the salary and whether it's truly a 4-day week or if it's really the same workload as a 5-day week.
That's a cure worse than the disease. If I faced a false choice between = as an assignment operator or else accepting syntax that distinguishes statements and expressions, I'd just take the = operator.
Getting your point. Maybe the "other interactions" you have are on par with those here on HN and that begs the question, where do those interaction happen?
The Eclipse of Liberalism (1900)
There is an excess of schadenfreude here, but people are only judging cryptocurrencies against their own inflated claims.
While I don't feel that your argument generalizes (e.g. Bitcoin actually probably is the best extant value exchange mechanism in many ways), the whole Ethereum thing was embarrassing. People fell for the mumbo-jumbo and then the whole project rendered itself pointless by going back on its "code is law" principle.
Furthermore, if it's your own vehicle, fully autonomous mode under certain pre-defined conditions and roads can still be a huge win. But that constraint makes the same vehicles basically uninteresting as a shared vehicle taxi service for the near term.

It's great that all this work is being done but IMO summoning Johnny cab to take you home from a bar in SF is decades away.
The guy was targeted because he was a man who they saw a chance to attack, in order to intimidate people with similar political views.

CoC violations are called "cock violations" for a reason.
GopherJS 1.8-1 is released
You can do that, provided that the network routes multiple IPs (or a whole prefix) to the device. It tends to be pretty messy keeping track of all the addresses in the OS configuration, but that's an opportunity for OSes to get better.
True, but within reason. For example, if you program in Javascript, you either build your own shitty DOM-library or you rely on a solid one like jQuery.

In general I would say your claim is much more true than it is false because a piece of software with too many abstraction layers and wrappers is orders of magnitudes harder to fix than one which doesn't have enough of them.
Twitter still going strong? Check the latest news on that. What's interesting about the tech scene and Snapchat right now is that there are a lot of popular startups/apps, but only some are wildly successful while others are struggling to make money. There isn't a 1:1 correlation between popularity or number of users and profit.
Now that we have an idea on how looks monitoring API, how would you monitor

You probably realize this, but here's chapter and verse on why analog was superseded...

The thing that makes digital attractive was actually pointed out in the 50s by John von Neumann: every digit you add to the representation buys you another factor of 10 (or 2, in the case of binary) of precision. I can't find a reference but it's in a famous von Neumann paper, and is celebrated these days by Neal Gershenfeld as one of the major things that makes digital tech work.
In practice, it is largely true due to the WARN act which requires 60 day notice. No employee wants to keep around employees who know they're being let go, so in most cases, this means 60 days severence.
AOL: The Rise and Fall of the First Internet Empire
Its the wrong question, which is why you don't tend to find a lot of respected historians writing books that seek to answer this question. A lot of assumptions are baked into this question that historians do not think are valid.

The sort of "why the west won" pop history makes experts cringe in the same way that articles on AI hysteria might make experts here cringe.
I believe the market has already baked in Dodd-Frank being repealed.

Depending on what you're doing, App Maker (https://developers.google.com/appmaker/) might be what you're after.

silly question, but why do your LinkedIn and Github say you work at a generic "Financial Industry Company" rather than Jump? especially since Jump is quite prominent.
As someone in a similar position doing full-time independent contracting, I'm curious to hear how you've handled adjusting your rates to the market for existing contracts?
Every Cruise Automation Chevy Bolt is using two Velodyne HDL-32E, each of which has a list price of $30,000. Price aside, Velodyne is really struggling to produce these units. Some recent HN comments have mentioned lead times of 40 weeks [1], though the upcoming Velodyne factory should alleviate these issues in 2018 [1].

We will need miracles in lidar technology for GM to hit their target of thousands of vehicles next year.

In my opinion, your git workflow should be based on your release, application support & team structure.

If you have just 1 team, releasing 1 version, say a web application then your workflow will differ from 1 team, maintaining multiple versions of the same app, say a desktop version or say multiple teams working on one app say an enterprise backend. I look at how the application has to be released, how the team is structured, then figure out which workflow we will use.
It's a bit more complicated than marking the hash value as NonZero because there are currently two parallel arrays: one for hash values, one for (key, value) pairs. So there's nothing in the second array to indicate that an element is missing. (It used to be three arrays, with the keys and values separate, but that "optimization" was actually a terrible layout for the cache. I'd like to see a further improvement where key types that can be hashed trivially, e.g. integers, ditch the hash array altogether.)

I'm fine with the use of `unsafe` here. A hash table can be implemented using safe Rust, but you can squeeze a few percent more performance out of it by using a small amount of unsafe code, in a way that would be very difficult to make safe, without a super fancy dependent type system like ATS plus a ton of annotation overhead. The unsafe code can be vetted relatively thoroughly and is safe from the outside. That kind of practical compromise seems very much in the spirit of Rust...
Hey. I'm not a coder, unless HTML, some CSS and a bit of PHP count for something. I'm here for all the extra stuff not related to code, unless the code stuff has some philosophical flair attached to it. I have no plan to get into the startup world, while I'm contemplating a few side project kind of ideas that I might never get into for lack of [put any reason here]. The hacking crowd has been an interest of me since I started to learn about SEO, roughly 15 years ago. One led me to the other. Besides HN, I read local medias from my country, as well as international news in English and French.

The big thing for me in HN world is the scientific bias of almost anything discussed here, coming from almost every science fields. I couldn't find that anywhere else, yet. And that, I understand.
That question comes up a lot with big companies. The usual response is "GM is good at building cars. We have no experience building a ride sharing company. The probability of success is much higher if we just buy a company that is already successful."
Nice, thanks for breaking down the S-1.
Nice! I didn't know about that.
Just because a taxi company needs gas doesn't mean it makes sense for them to start drilling.

Some things are better left to those with more experience and expertise.
Thanks for the information. This opens a little rabbit hole of terms to crawl Wikipedia for.

It's very interesting that you thought I raised five questions, when my intention was to actually clarify my single question :)
This just comes with close personal association with a whole bunch of history PhDs. I myself am not an expert on the topic, but they talk about this book the way that psychologists talk about Gladwell. If you want an example of respected history that follows this sort of geographic history model you should read Braudel.
