Are we reading the same comments? I'm seeing a large number of people commenting on how they feel the various policies the current administration is enacting will affect STEM funding and research in the US in the future, and how this fits within the global context.

I'm not sure where you see incivility - are any of the posters in the child comments insulting each other?

I'm not sure where you see lack of substance - posts in the child comments are using past historical events, political analysis, and personal experiences to discuss current ones.

Maybe you're upset by the use of the word "fascist", but that's hard to avoid when the current government is discriminating against legal citizens purely based on their religion/skin color, or the president insinuated the assassination of his political opponents.

It actually says 28 instance hours per day, not 28 instance hours per month. So you can run one instance indefinitely, and still have 4 instance-hours left over for testing or whatever.

> How would you recommend handling a situation like that?

If they were harming myself or a third party, I would leverage the remedies society makes available: the courts, the cops, etc. If not, and I were motivated, I would attempt rational debate about the matter, which can be started as simply as stating that [IMO] their words or actions are inappropriate (which is not what you were suggesting before). In the event that doesn't make a difference, I would simply walk away.

What I find shocking and disturbing is how intent you seem to be on harming someone just because you disagree with them. There are perfectly nonviolent racists out there who know how to mind their own business who I'd rather associate with than someone like you...
In what sense are these data points?

Learning English is not easy, the language is among the hardest to pick up. [1] Much of the language is intuitive and difficult to explain. Grammar and conjugations are particularly irregular (to be: be/being/been/am/are/is/was/were/will be).

Chinese is hard to pick up for sure, tones are not easy to intuit as English speakers are used to discarding that information. Mandarin is easier due to the smaller number of tones. It's also easier in many respects than English as there are no verb conjugations.

The U.S. government reported a five-fold increase in the number of electronic media searches at the border in a single year, from 4,764 in 2015 to 23,877 in 2016.

It's worth pointing out that this isn't all Trump related, things have been heading in this direction for a while now. Trump has made the border crossing into the Stanford Prison Experiment, though.

There's many ways in which a dystopian automated system of surveillance and justice would be preferable, but society tends to love organizing its own systems of award and punishment.

This is incredible! I have just thought about doing the same thing with chefs. As in: you order a (not the Michelin-star kind) chef who'll come to your house and teach you how to cook some tasty meal, without worrying about buying ingredients, tools etc. We learn from plumbers and technicians, why not learn from chefs?
Sure, they've been around for a while, but they have some limitations. I've seen "Volcano Poo" if you know what I mean, and that color screams, "Acrylamide!" to me. With an extract you can simply inhale much less of anything, precisely control temperature over a tiny volume of material, and isolate only those elements of the plant you want (leaving out waxes, cellulose, etc).
This is a great idea, but I don't see why I would want to book a specific mechanic rather than let you choose the best one for me based off my model/make/needs.
Thanks to the mods for un-duping this and linking to the blog post, which went live like 7 minutes after I hit submit, haha.

Anyways, this was the last piece of the Firebase puzzle for me. Between this, Authentication, Analytics, the DB (obviously) and Storage, Firebase has been indispensable in getting my side project app up and running -- and most importantly, feeling "real."

My only request at this point would be a bit more TLC given to how Firebase integrates with React Native. I'm sure it's coming as it's likely a "still-small-but-growing" subset of use cases. As an example, there's not an obvious way to say, get Twitter auth working in a React Native app (last I checked a few weeks ago.) There are workarounds, of course.

PS- The Firebase console and docs are some of the most slick and well-designed examples of what they do I've seen. I really enjoy the web console and the CLI tool. Just a real joy to use, and I'm not being sarcastic. :)
I feel like the author left out a giant caveat: there's a difference between going through CBP as a US citizen and as a non-citizen. Non-citizens can be bounced back home whereas, as I understand it, they HAVE to allow a US citizen back into the states if he has a valid passport and isn't violating any laws.
I think it gets a bit unrealistically altruistic, but it captures a lot.

You said "If you collected statistics about Americans in the back of a squad car, you'd conclude that Americans are a bunch of criminals (shocker of shockers).".

I'm challenging you on that. I think your statistics would show that certain classes of Americans are comparatively very criminally oriented, and certain classes of Americans are not. Similarly, if you collected statistics about foreigners in the back of a squad car, you'd conclude that foreigners here without a visa of any kind are much more criminally oriented than foreigners here on, for example, a student visa. You seem to want to dismiss the usefulness of those statistics just because they're only dealing with a particular segment of the population.
One of them being whether or not the person can actually sell what they are making.

If the founder is indeed going to be in a position of standing up to a group of potential customers and selling something to them, whether it's a car or an expensive software package, then I can see the importance of such a presentation.

If, however, the sales takes place in a store, on a website, or in a catalog, then a different set of skills are needed--developing sales funnels, setting up distribution partnerships, converting online visitors, and writing stellar marketing copy. Yet I have never seen a demo day or investor pitch session that focuses on those skills, even though they will have a huge impact on the success or failure of many types of ventures.

If you can't sell and are going to hire someone to do so, you might be better off having them do the presentation.

That makes sense. Serious question, though: but do demo day organizers encourage it? How would investors or audiences react?

Folks who understand selling can sell anything, including a startup looking for funding.

I know this is true, yet I find this disappointing. It means that great salespeople can sell a turkey, which not only hurts investors but takes money away from more capable enterprises.

You're taking skepticism to absurd levels. Water is naturally occurring. Beer is not.
I like the way your world-view treats intelligent people. Instead of having them being independent agents, there's some form of ownership of them... such that if they head off to foreign lands to pursue what they feel is a better life and earn more money, then it's a theft of community property.

All Sudanese should be happy with their lot in life and either work to improve it or rot. So how dare these Western companies pay the dark skinned people of Sudan as much money as rich white people could earn!!!

Based on your other replies, it sounds like the computer vision part of the interview was fine then. Did you struggle with other parts of the interview then technically speaking?
Thanks for responding. I found out today that the 2016 MBP is now in the refurb store, which brings it down to my price point. I called up Dell and tried to cancel my order, but since it is already "work-in-progress", they cannot guarantee that they will be able to cancel and I might still receive the laptop. Either way, I think I'll be cancelling/returning the XPS and getting a non-touch refurb MBP with same specs, except the i5 instead of the i7, which I don't think will affect me much.
Merging is probably difficult, but not impossible. No reason that Hangouts couldn't authenticate against your phone number and link the accounts that way, or Allo could add an (optional) google login to link it from the other direction.
Why stop there? Gmail is communications as well, so include email too. And snail mail too, so add Fedex/UPS service into it. And fax, we can't forget about fax.

But hey, connectivity is just a section of productivity, and docs, slides, sheets, drive is all productivity, so add it all to the same app, as well as google plus. You also use the app store to get your company's apps, so add the play store as well.

Finding the destination for a business meeting is also productivity, so add maps inside it as well, and translate, since you might be running meetings and emails in different languages, plus keep for note-taking, calendar, my business, contacts, forms, groups, etc.

Congrats, you just designed Lotus Notes.

I agree it's a complex scenario.

I will never agree that beating helpless and restrained detainees is an acceptable response to any scenario in a correctional facility.

There are things like taking away TV privileges or being demoted to janitorial duty that can be an effective deterrent to many behavioral issues in a facility.

I say many (as opposed to most) because our jails/prisons are regularly used to house the mentally ill these days which creates another layer of complexity. We should fix that problem and remove that layer first and foremost.
Why would there be a war? Large parts of the country seem very resentful towards California. Seems like both sides would be happier without each other.

Edit: I obviously don't think a Calexit will happen but I'm just curious why you think it would result in a war.
If "always gentle" is unrealistic, I'd like to set the bar a little higher than "tazing a restrained person 3 times".
I feel like this is going to be an increasingly hard question to answer as more and more cloud providers with interchangeable services become available. It's like buying a car. You will run into someone that has used 2 or 3 different providers of the same service, but some one with hands on experience with them all, unlikely.
>someone who has taken someone's innocence (and perhaps their ability to have a happy life) has certain privileges taken away.

They should have already been served the 'punishment' or retribution within prison, and hopefully have been reformed. Why do you still want to punish them? Do you not think the punishment is adequate?

One of the aims of the prison system is rehabilitation into society. You're actively trying to stop that out of revenge?
I actually prefer the ZWJ approach to just randomly combining multiple symbols into one, like with the country flags. With ZWJ you at least have a chance to reliably detect such a combined grapheme, as opposed to keeping long lists of special cases that might or might not be implemented by your OS / rendering engine / font.

What YC has to do - is classical very very early Symptom Ecosystem dissolution.i.e. SV (i know its too early to say so). Its very hard to disrupt such woven ecosystem due to inherent resiliency and there is higher chances it will survive but this is unprecedented . I checked few VC twitter feeds, they are leaning towards Canada ,very early ,very slow but still unprecedented.Networks are strong as long as the inflection point. One can watch this video i attached here to understand how ecosystem fails without the participation from value serving members and how quickly it may :by the way this is all facts checked. Here is vedio how ecosystems are fragile : http://bit.ly/2mqDdjf .
Not useful? That's harsh.

Could it be argued that not enough care is being taken by the team to solicit the thoughts of the less shouty members? If an organisation didn't want to hire or deal with said folk, perhaps it's a good thing for those looked over?

Research seems to suggest that a more diverse workforce (of all varieties) leads to more successful businesses. And my own personal experience leads me to believe that skilled folk come in some weird and wonderful packages. I know which path I would choose.

That is a relatively low estimate. It has a few false assumptions:

1) Neurons are independent spatially and temporally.

2) Dendrites are not computationally active, again false.

3) State is not important.

4) Neurons are used to simulate a binary function and each only one.
That's a lot of people that have to work together when they don't have to and have no incentive to in order for this to be even somewhat effective.

You're onto something here with maintenance. The worst part about owning a car is maintaining it. Fiix is going to remove all of the hassles of owning a car, and we want to get to the point that you can 'set it and forget it' for general maintenance.

Their paid support (separate from the paid service) for gCloud is rolling out a reformed set of offerings that focus very heavily on making sure that companies are able to scale to exactly the level of responsiveness they need [0]; if that's a sign of the general direction of their paid support, it seems to me that they have a handle on the need for support.

It's a commonly used primitive and I'm tempted to do it sometimes, but the problem is that there is no clear semantics. For instance in the blog post, apparently, the author is interested in incrementing multiple fields of the same key, while the proposal on the Github issue, wanted to increment different keys. Unfortunately to extend HINCRBY to make it variadic is hard because the return value would change... At the same time some users may absolutely not want to have all the items returned after the increment, since if you increment a batch of 1000 items and are not interested in the result, to get a 1000 items reply is not great.

Given all this problems, and in order to avoid introducing new commands, probably what could be done is to introduce options into HICNRBY, so that it can model both the variadic thing (only switching to a different reply when some option is given) and also to have specific options in order to switch on/off the reply of the incremented values and so forth.

Commands designed recently, after the old errors, have such capabilities. For instance BITFIELD is pretty powerful, and is a command doing increments: https://redis.io/commands/bitfield

I mean we're all human, we all have biases, and we're all affected by interactions, so I get what you're saying. I care about how I'm spoken to as well, I don't mean to act like some superior being unaffected by human emotions. To use your phrasing, I would like to live in a world where equal rights is such a fundamental moral truth that the communication style of its supporters doesn't really matter. I too am frequently annoyed and angered by people marching under the flag of feminism, but I try my best to judge everyone's arguments on their merits rather than their fans. I think everyone would personally benefit from this, it makes life more pleasant, and that's what I wanted to say in my comment.

I would also like to live in a world where people give each other the benefit of the doubt. When you read my initial comment, did it really seem more like that I was trying to police someone's thoughts, rather than just recommending a different way of thinking? Especially on a casual internet forum, I generally try to interpret a comment in the best way I can. If someone is really intending to be an asshole then it'll become clear soon enough.
Let it be known: jail is not prison.

Short-term incarceration (less than two years, and that's not an arbitrary figure) leads to much different conditions than long-term incarceration. There's different effects on humans and different changes in valuated needs.

Rape tends to be the province of those expecting little to no change in their long-term experience. A little different from murder in incarceration, in that the victim has opportunity for reprisal.

Definitely phones have had problems with reception depending on how they're held, as Apple pointed out at the time. There's little doubt the iPhone problem was worse, however. Discussion: http://gizmodo.com/5589336/apple-antennagate-and-why-its-tim...

You are implying that feminine is somehow a bad trait. That is terribly misguided.

That is, if you want progress, stop seeing "feminine men" as somehow a derogatory statement. If you see women arguing for things that you feel you don't have as a man, realize that there is something that would have to set you apart from many men for this to be true.

Now, should overconfidence be a masculine trait? I'd argue not. But I would not place confidence on anyone claiming it is not seen that way in the present world.
