"Have your real identity online not be publically linked to your real identity" is actually not so simple, as it requires cooperation of everyone you know. Would your mom, spouse or boss have your "account that you never use" in their social network contacts or your real online identity?

All kinds of advertising companies and spammers have such information obtained from people who share their contact list with some free app, providing a permanent link between your real name (which they entered in their contact list), your real phone number, and various online accounts. Would you be so sure that the gov't agents don't have it? IIRC there were some cases where some agencies simply bought such data from advertising info aggregators.

The traditional explanation for the economic usefulness of patents is that it incentivizes public disclosure of discoveries, and prevents trade secrets from dominating the innovation economy. (Imagine if the cure to cancer was kept as secret as the recipe for Coca Cola!)

The odd part of this case is that it might cause researchers to hold back from publishing their discoveries until they're sure their own institution can 'squeeze out all the juice' and best monetize the novel finding.

On the other hand, perhaps it incentivizes more classical research institutions to employ top teams of researchers who can prototype the 'medicine' part of a biomedicine discovery as quickly as possible. In truth, there are a lot of amazing discoveries at the ground level of molecular biology, which plausibly could revolutionize human health, but are still waiting decades later to be shown to be practical.
When it comes to search-engine tests I do the obvious thing, I search for my name! Google gives me my site at the top. Duck Duck Go puts my site in place 10-15.

I see no evidence in the article about Amazon buying Capital One, or any company buying any other company. The only line about their relation is:

> Capital One is also one of the largest users of Amazon’s AWS cloud in the financial services space.

On another point, Amazon currently mas multiple credit cards issued by Chase, so buying Capital One would be unnecessary.

The article is pure speculation.

Awesome! I've got a question that I have not been able to answer. Seattle's "Big Bertha" is surplus once they finish the Alaska Viaduct project in a few months. What process could I use to establish whether or not one could use that machine locally? Assume I can get an inventory of all parts used in the machine. And a related question, is there a way to estimate the cost to retarget a used machine to a new mission?
Re YC Research, please consider a project looking at the challenges surrounding climate change communications. To state the obvious, the science on climate change is settled, but many people are still skeptical/resistant or in outright denial. Heated arguments and throwing around citations to journal articles really doesn't change anyone's mind. There is a deeper, nuanced communications challenge at play, and it's the exact type of thing that YC would be great at addressing. There are some very interesting ways that technology (and the creativity of the YC community) could be used to tackle this issue.

Climate change may be the defining issue of the next century, and it would be a shame to be stymied by the communications challenges. I hope you'll consider it.

The iPad was and is one of the most successful electronic products ever. It's growth has absolutely slowed down, and is in a slight contraction right now, but it's still selling over 40 million units per year (from a peak of ~70M per year). To compare, Apple sells about 19M Macs per year.

The iPad can only be claimed as a failure compared to investors' expectations, or compared to the iPhone. In the most recent quarter (Q1 2017), Apple sold 13.1 MILLION of them. Over 6 billion dollars of product sold in one quarter sounds pretty great to me.
I'm not sure I would personally ever resort to violence unless things get really out of hand and atrocities start occurring.

I will say, however, that I've met our representative when she toured our company last year and wasn't particularly pleased with the interaction. She was an air head, especially with respect to the issues that we (as a software company) care about. When I wasn't satisfied with her responses she said, "You're just one of those guys who hates politicians, huh?"

I wouldn't say that's true. In fact, her predecessor also toured our office in 2012, right around the time when SOPA/PIPA were being debated, and he seemed very well informed and appeared to take our comments to heart, despite actually being a SOPA co-sponsor.

Not to intentionally continue rambling but his departure that led to Stefanik's election was kind of fishy too. He was a locally raised, pretty well-liked democratic lawyer and retired Air Force captain who helped revitalize one of the cities he was stationed at during his service when the air base there was shut down. Then all of a sudden he just says he's not running for re-election. A friend of mine pointed out that due to the unexpected nature of his retirement it's within the realm of possibility that he was forced out in some way (blackmail?)

So Stefanik -- a young, female career politician and former Paul Ryan staffer rolls in and given the overall right-leaning nature of the area, people vote along party lines and she wins. Her only tie to the district is that her family owns a seasonal home here, which apparently was enough for her to meet residency requirements. She's spent most of her adult life in Washington. Barely anyone in her "hometown" in our district has even seen her [0]. On the campaign trail for her first election, she notoriously just walked away from reporters in the middle of a press event[1], so the "run away and hide" political strategy seems to have some precedent with her.

And, unfortunately, in most cases, any legitimate criticism you give with respect to her and her job performance often gets dismissed by her supporters as sexism. It's all very frustrating.

HN probably isn't the place for my ranting. Sorry about that.

You might want to clarify your immigration status. You mentioned that you have previously worked in the US.

- Does that man you have a valid visa that allows you to work in the US?

- Do you have permanent residency?

- Do you have full (dual-)citizenship?

If so, mention that on your resume. There are many companies, especially small startups, who simply do not have the resources to deal with visa/immigration issues - perhaps that is why you are not getting any replies. If you currently do not hold a visa, you might want to specifically seek out companies that offer visa sponsorship.
While I generally agree with your sentiment, FWIW I'm a 25-year-old and I haven't answered a non-work phone call in several years. If friends/family want to contact me, they can send an IM or leave a voicemail and hope I call voicemail in the next week or two.

I haven't even had the sound/vibrate on my phone turned on for about a year now (which, honestly, is probably the most liberating decision I've made since then), as there's nothing in my life that can't wait however long it is until I check my phone next.

Lumo (https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo) or Planck may fit your requirements, though they lack a C FFI. They're based off ClojureScript/Javascript, and startup way faster than the JVM Clojure. Could probably try the node-ffi library with Lumo.

There's the abandoned ClojureC project (https://github.com/schani/clojurec). There's also JVM-to-native compilers like gcj or ExcelsiorJet.

But at the moment, it doesn't seem like there's an established way to do all that.

More often than I'd like to. In an ideal world, language designs would be perfect out of the box, and the right abstraction for expressing what I want to express would always be available without me having to do anything. Alas, in the real world, languages have limitations, and you can either metaprogram them away or put up with them.

For example, a while back I was investigating a general framework for expressing various types of self-balancing search trees without tediously reimplementing the same ideas over and over:

(0) A search tree is either a leaf or node. A node is a alternating sequence of subtrees and individual elements, beginning and ending with a subtree.

(1) Rebalancing a tree preserves the sequence obtained from traversing it in-order.

(2) In the specific case of binary search trees, there exist two kinds of rotations: 3-rotations (rebalancing the sequence “a,x,b,y,c”, where “a,b,c” range over subtrees and “x,y” range over individual elements) and 4-rotations (rebalancing the sequence “a,x,b,y,c,z,d”, where “a,b,c,d” range over subtrees and “x,y,z” range over individual elements).

(3) It is very convenient to manipulate purely functional search trees using zippers, for more or less the same reasons it is very convenient to manipulate imperative search trees using iterators. Zipper types can be obtained from tree types using a generic procedure (given the recursive type “T = μR.F(R)”, find the derivative of “F(R)” with respect to “R”, then instantiate it at “T = R”)... if only you could express this procedure in the first place.
I disagree that's any more accurate. It doesn't capture his other comments about the irrationality of over-optimistic forecasts or his acknowledgment that VR could be a dead-end. I read that (overly long for a headline) quote as VR is going gangbusters--which I don't think really distills his opinion.

ADDED: It's also not especially newsworthy that the CEO of a company developing VR says VR is doing great. It is far more newsworthy for him to acknowledge that VR might not succeed.
Yeah, for native executables, CL and Racket are much further ahead.
I also think there's an inherent bias to complains about "internal politics" in a software job. For the most part, the people complaining about that have only ever worked in software jobs.

If you mechanically translate "internal politics are a bad part of software jobs" to "internal politics are a bad part of all jobs with more than 2 people", it mostly goes away (IMO). It's possible that software engineers are slightly worse at or less tolerant of politics, but I don't see a particular excess of politics in software vs other fields. (We are a multi-discipline company, sales, marketing, manufacturing, R&D, software, call centers, supply chain, etc. All of them have more than 2 people and therefore all of them have some amount of politics.)
> They are just types and they are here to help the developer write compile time type safe code.

Type safety mostly appeals to developers with a low time preference. Getting a bunch of compiler errors is the opposite of immediate gratification. In a language like python, you can start running your program instantly and push dealing with bugs as far back as possible. You might spend more time, since debugging is harder and slower in the long run than making the compiler catch mistakes up front, but you get to procrastinate.

The spotlight is thrust upon them, that's true. However I think equating leading tech figure with righteous human being is something we take as axiomatic. It may often be true, but don't be crestfallen when it's sometimes not.

My experience working with Java all these years is this:

1) Java is not suitable at all the task at hand. I am just trying to solve something far more suitable for different type of language.

2) Java is working fine for the purpose and it leaves me with time to think how about Java fix its longstanding issues.

Ideally Java should fix that stuff but I come to conclusion 2) is possible only when Java works fine for me and fixing those issues is either impossible or very low priority. I think same will apply to Go or any other language.
I think they want to limit it to Quadros to be more precise.
The selling point of go is that it is easy to read and maintain because it is so opinionated.
If you start adding features that only some programmers use, then you lose the language's strongest point.

For Go choice is bad. Go is going so strong because any Go programmer can read any Go program and library after a couple days with the language. Can you say the same for any language that has generics?
Saying that a breach of due process is ok because it's not very frequent is a really short-sighted position.
That's unfortunate, as there has been accepted terminology that differentiates those concepts for quite a while in the enterprise distribution space, likely predating Ubuntu's existence. Backports as you describe them here are referred to as "rebasing" in RHEL's parlance.

I understand where the difference comes from though, Debian. The problem is that Debian serves a different need, and is not really an "enterprise" distro. That's not to imply it isn't a quality distribution, but their purposes are not necessarily aligned with the needs of organizations which may be managing hundreds or more systems all at once. Debian "backports" newer packages from testing to to current to deal with needed fixes, while enterprise distributions "backport" the patches to make sure the package behavior doesn't inadvertently change due to some other changes in the package during the time since it was first included.

Ubuntu's beginnings as an offshoot of Debian show here, but that's where there's a disconnect between the terminology they use and that of most other distributions that target the enterprise (which admittedly Ubuntu only does partially). I can't really blame Ubuntu for their use of the terminology, since it does have historical precedence for them, and they are't even entirely an enterprise distro (by which I mean they also target desktop usage heavily, compared to RHEL which only goes as far that direction as to target workstations, and somewhat halfheartedly IMO).
Saying things like "I learn fast" and "I'm a good communicator" don't get a recruiter's attention.

Right. You don't impress people by saying "I'm a good communicator." You impress them by... communicating well.

The thing is though - R is just not Excel. For many tasks (blasphemy!), Excel is simply better.

Take quick scenario evaluation. In Excel, I change one or two cells and see everything update immediately; in R, you need to re-run your analysis and find the outputs you're after again. There is built-in support for scenarios in Excel. In R you have to code your analysis around it, and do the formatting for comparing, too.

Or take the libraries. Anything that is not statistics is just a pain in R. Everything is possible, sure - but high friction. PMT()/IPMT() functions in R? Good luck. Sure it's easy to code yourself (which is the advice you get when asking R users %| ) but I'm using something high level to not have to bother with that sort of thing!

Graphs? Yeah, there's plot() which is straight out of 1960, or ggplot - which is easy for the simple things and then devolves into afternoons chasing obscure manual pages for this or that setting. Here's one: plot 360 degrees of a sine wave, and it's first and second derivatives. Then explain an Excel user how that works. (this is both because anything non-stats is bolted onto R, and because ggplot is designed around stats graphing.)

Keeping a matrix of data, like a simple database? Sure R can read dozens of file formats from CSV to HDF, but actually editing/maintaining that data is a pain in the ass. Excel, just add a sheet and use vlookup - it will let you sort and filter and copy and validate, all without leaving one software package.

Yes, there are many things wrong with Excel. FFS, there is a conference on how to not screw things up in real life with Excel. But saying 'just use R' is silly. For most applications where starry-eyed grad students advocate R over Excel (because hey, nail/hammer, right?), Excel is just the better choice, even if that means workflows that make programming-literate folk die a little inside every time we have to work with them.
Those code reviews are more commonly called inspections or code walkthroughs and are very very uncommon. Everyone wants to cheap out on testing and quality :/
