Hmm okay you changed my mind, so I guess there's no such thing as physically impossible then. Either way, maybe we should probably leave off the qualifier, since there's only one kind of "impossible" in this context.

$60/quarter was what you asked for, interestingly.

third one ships this week or so.

I'm not sure if its an upside or a downside that all the boards are adafruit products. Its adafruit so its excellently documented but its essentially the "feather ecosystem quarterly subscription" in practice. I realize they have customer service type costs but it would be interesting to see something other than feather ecosystem products. I'm not saying its not fun, its a lot of fun, I'm just saying it would be more fun to get something truly weird in the box.

I enjoyed building the robot in the second box and generally hacking around on it.
Is surrounding an equality with parentheses in math something that is regularly done? When I see (a = b) in math, I don't think of it as "evaluating" to anything like 2+3 would.
I didn't make the claim that every self published author makes a lot. I made the claim that you can make a lot by self publishing. The opportunity is there.
Writing a book and selling software are similar from a tax perspective; you pay income taxes on the difference between your revenues and expenses.

It might surprise people that authors have material expenses, but it is very, very easy to have them, particularly if one is operating one's business in a disciplined fashion. Authors have an image of being starving artists but lawyers and accountants who work for authors, to pick two examples, are not.
I still wonder why we have

display: flex

and

display: inline-flex

It seems to me that the committee who designed this has been confusing what is happening inside the box (flex or not) with what is happening outside the box (inline or block). Those two behaviors should be orthogonal, IMHO.
The cost of developing the software should include the inherent risk it poses if it fails.

I've heard arguments to this effect, that absolute zero is more obviously impossible when you think in terms of Thermodynamic beta - which is standard physics notation for 1/(k_B * T) and appears in many places including in statistical mechanics.[1]

That also makes it more clear that while reaching 0 (i.e. infinite Beta) is impossible, negative temperatures are possible (this occurs in processes that undergo a state inversion like in a laser / maser). [2]

As one example, the first Facebook business entity was a Florida LLC. Mark Zuckerberg then created a new Delaware based C-Corp that bought the IP from the LLC.

I believe the original trigger for converting to a C-Corp was the Peter Thiel investment.
Cool (pun intended) but somebody maybe remembers from three years ago that it's possible to go below absolute zero. And it's hotter than positive temperature there. An explanation at http://physicscentral.com/explore/action/negative-temperatur...
> I've used Gitlab CI before and I do like it, but TravisCI allowed for some granular control that Gitlab CI does not have (or that I am doing wrong) - for example, ability to run specific tests in case of pull/merge requests (TrasisCI has an environment variable for it).

Ah interesting! You can't do this now with GitLab, but we're working on supporting merge requests as special cases [0].

> As for other projects - the most important one for me was clubhouse.io (Gitlab Issues is great but just not as good as clubhouse.io)

Clubhouse sure looks nice! GitLab Issues is getting better every release and in 9.0 (March 22nd), we have some big changes for Issue Boards.

I've asked our PM on Issues (Victor) to check out Clubhouse and hopefully we can convince them to integrate with us in some way.

>The more infrastructure that is put in place to protect single parents, the more infrastructure that gets in the way for standard families. Basic building blocks for society like marriage become less appealing because the state is too involved in the process.

Huh? Marriage itself is a legal construct by the state, no different than a corporation. Is a corporation a "basic building block for society" too? Should it be? What makes you think marriage is such a great thing that society should be dependent upon it? Statistics show that it's a massive gamble, and you're more likely to lose with it than you are to benefit. On top of that, the risks are enormous: child support, alimony, and in many cases, bankruptcy.

>All I'm concerned about is the state becoming so involved in an individual's life, that it nannies them like a parent.

That's funny, coming from someone who obviously supports marriage, which is absolutely an example of the state nannying people and becoming involved in an individual's life. Try going through a contested divorce and tell me the state wasn't involved.

The simple fact is that your "standard familes" are a complete and utter failure. Society needs an all-new paradigm, because clinging to this archaic institution clearly isn't working.

Many states require that you file as a foreign LLC if you've filed in any other state, which basically will double your paperwork. IMHO / IANAL, but it probably makes sense for most folks who don't care to raise money to just file as an LLC domestically within their own state.

Interesting, but a pretty strong claim to leave implicit in your statement, to say the least.

As far as I can see there is today both a massive technological and social gap to what is needed to force a crisis that might result in such a world, but it's interesting to think about.
Yes that's true for many things in Kubernetes but not as frequent in the logging space for Kubernetes. Many still rely on Fluentd as a parsing filter first to extract metadata like pod name or container name. And most of the logging ones require you to edit your yaml in some way first. Ours is almost copy-pasteable, provided you have a LogDNA API key. :)

Agreed, but isn't that perspective of preserving artificially high wages for US jobs is deeply lacking in empathy for the poor of the rest of the world? they are "real people" too, and in the case of mexico and central america, the US has a very real culpability in the economic conditions which created their poverty.
I guess they decided against being a tech company and decided to go full media company where tech is a cost center and engineers are replaceable.

I think the article hinted at that.
Again, what the OP says happened to him, has never happened to me nor anyone I have talked to. I would put this strat in the 'edge cases' category.
100% agreed.

I have multiple LLCs, one of which I hope to grow into a potentially venture-back-able startup one day. If we get to that point we can create a C corp then. The amount of hassle and money you save now is well worth the headache of fixing things later.
Ask HN: Is it a waste of time to develop graphic editor for image ownership?
This is for hiring people to create images. It would be easy to just submit images that exist already (not created by this person). One possible way to get around this is to have them create new images using a developed software namely a proprietary graphical editor that creates a digital signature on the finished image. Is this a waste of time? What are other approaches to proving that someone created their digital media?
> The only business model for fiber that will work to produce the competition, low prices, and world-class data transport we need — certainly in urban areas — is to get local governments involved in overseeing basic, street grid-like “dark” (passive, unlit with electronics) fiber available at a set, wholesale price to a zillion retail providers of access and services. There’s plenty of patient capital sloshing around the US that would be attracted to the steady, reliable returns this kind of investment will return. That investment could be made in the form of private lending or government bonds; the important element is that the resulting basic network be a wholesale facility that any retail actor can use at a reasonable, fair cost.

Google Fiber had promised to operate an open access network[1], but they apparently changed their mind before they launched.

Your statement is a complete lie mikeyouse, but thank you for playing.
Generally I have the opinion that the CI of gitlab is much more powerful because of real Docker usage (and also works on private repos for free). Speaking about the gitlab CI... why is there no status or statistics page about it on status.gitlab.com and why is a new build pending over 30 minutes currently (now) ?
In theory you can. But you'd know to immediately fail that line in code review (or better still, enforce it at build time via wartremover). Whereas in Kotlin

someMethod(null)

might be perfectly legitimate or might not, but you can't tell without knowing the details of someMethod (whether it's a Java method or not).

Startup/Venture Capital lawyer here (but not your lawyer). The foreign qualification requirement is fairly universal - California has it, too. There are occasions when incorporating in a different state can be beneficial, but generally if you're raising VC $$, VCs are going to want to invest in a Delaware C-corp.

Delaware is NOT the cheapest, but it is extremely flexible (both legally speaking and administratively speaking - there are very few states where you can pay a premium and find someone to come in on a holiday/weekend to file your restated charter to close a big deal), and it has a very well-established body of law. That means everyone knows what to expect. Think of it like a really great WYSIWYG editor, whereas other states' laws can be like coding a site in a brand new alpha release programming language.
> In my experience, if you're regularly coding under extreme pressure, something is wrong.

right? unless you are in downtime mode, there's really something wrong with your schedule/deliverables/tasks.

Ok, there's a chance I'll gain some valuable insight from posting this, which beats the cost of putting myself out there, so here goes...

I just completed a 30 day hardware Kickstarter last week and spent $22k on the video ($18k for main video, $4k for founder interview) and raised $57k, which is an outlier to this data. I can tell my campaign is not in the Video Budget / Amount Raised graph because it would stick out near the bottom right. So it seems to me that something's not right.

The product is compelling and I think it shows in the video. Much of the feedback I got for the video was positive. And there are a couple near competitors that have raised $1M+. My internal goal was to break $100k and that did not happen.

Did I make a mistake with this video or campaign? I hit all of the points: early product intro, upbeat mood, 2:23, image quality, founder presence, location scouting and voice talent, and outside help.

You can watch the video here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/samuelclay/turn-touch-b...
You can though because the reason they don't want to go into the details is that it wasn't targeted hacking. You can't target individuals on privacy maintaining networks like tor, i2p, freenet, gnunet, etc. You have you hack very large groups of people indiscriminately.

That's why the FBI made changes to their procedural rules at the start of this year saying they could hack anyone who obscures their point of origin. Now they can get a single warrant and hack millions of people with it and it's still "okay".

To be clear: they weren't just hacking "suspected pedophiles". They were hacking a huge population of people then sorting through after. Just like an attack on yahoo.
I don't think having a more modern design could be classed as a unique selling point. Users often aren't that bothered from what I can tell, if you just want lyrics the fact that the site isn't hyper modern doesn't matter as long as the lyrics are accurate.
I can confirm that the English dubs are pretty bad too.
I think even public companies often disclose the prices though, especially for major ones. This being said, I have been thinking about the GitLab IPO, including things like fixing Reg FD for a while now.

But shipping liquids from Downeast Cider in Boston to Logan airport shouldn't cost much more than shipping it to a package/liquor store in Somerville.
The underlying incentives can influence which studies make it all the way to publication. This has happened with drug trials, for example; if you don't force drug companies to pre-register trials and publish the results after the fact for every trial, they can run multiple for the same drug and only report the ones that show favorable results.

I could imagine something similar happening if you wanted to "prove" the safety of a particular herbicide. Run tests for carcinogenicity, endocrine disruption, whatever across common test species A, B, C, D, and E. D shows significant adverse effects from exposure to your product. The others don't. Silently drop the D results, write up the "proof of safety" from the others, and optionally launder the origins of the research through unaffiliated scientists. Repeat for a few years and later a completely independent researcher may say "all N of these published papers used sound methodology, and a meta-review of this high-quality subset shows no demonstrated risk at ordinary exposure levels." That last researcher won't know about the deliberately introduced systemic error that influenced which results were published.

Just for the history...

At early stages of flexbox idea discussion I proposed (at W3C's www-style WG) it to be implemented in form of two entities:

The flow property describing children layout manager:

flow:default|vertical|horizontal|horizontal-wrap|vertical-wrap|grid...

and flex length units, describing "spring power" used by the property.

width:1*; margin-left:2*

for example.

https://sciter.com/docs/flex-flow/flex-layout.htm

That schema has very simple physical model that does not require any need for cheatsheets - very simple. Just to walk over illustrations in the document above to get the idea.

Current (accepted) flexbox variant is too controversial IMO. Yet breaks existing CSS box model somehow, what would be the used box width in this case:

div {
flex: 1;
width:100px;
}

two properties compete for the same entity (width of the box) - basic architectural error IMHO.

I have found that times in my life when I exercised less, I forgot more.

I also find less time to exercise as I grow older.

However, for the same level of exercise, rest, and study, I can't tell if there is a difference.

I also have more to forget, so I can barely remember entire arguments in philosophy that I had down cold 10 years ago, but even at age 20, you may not remember much from when you were 10.

Why does that not make them competitors? With the struggles Genius is having I would say they are definitely feeling the competition.
You know a language has reached mainstream when it starts getting "sucks" articles written about it.
Even if that's a vaild approach (I have no idea if it is) I suspect that such a system would be hilariously impractical for any real-world day-to-day usage. Therefore there would be no reason for a layman to even learn about it in the first place (much like the Planck unit system).
I believe my memory, both short term and long term, isn't as good as it once was. I'm 36.

I sometimes wonder how much of this is due to stress, tiredness, inattention, disinterest. All those things probably contribute. But then I go on to think: no, this is just what happens when you age. One day you will not be able to hack it anymore and die.
> One trouble with fiber is that most people (who have cable) think the cable service they have is "good enough" in terms of performance, but they'd rather pay less for it.

This is where I am. My local speeds and offerings (cable or a smaller local company with an ethernet jack in the condo's closet) are much better than yours, and I don't really need anything better. The tech to push speed requirements dramatically higher isn't there yet. For one or two people doing some streaming and light downloading, 20Mbps is fine for now, I'd just rather pay $20 than $50. 100Mbps for $50 would probably cover me into the near future for 4K streaming, too, but currently my local providers charge more than that for the faster speeds.

I'm not sure what the next big thing network-usage wise that pushes me to want more than 100Mbps would be. Heck, I was mostly happy at 5-6Mbps cable/DSL speeds for close to a decade before video streaming starting pushing those limits - downloading linux distros or such at those speeds kinda sucked, but I didn't do it that often to justify paying a lot more.

EDIT: the commercial world looks quite a bit different, both in need and demand, so maybe there are more opportunities there, but it also seems pretty well served currently, at least in big cities. I have hardly any direct knowledge, but have been at or heard of quite a few office spaces with direct fiber links to datacenters or such. When I worked in a small town it was much worse (Charter Business Cable wasn't the greatest, there, reliability- or speed-wise, to share across the small office), maybe there's a market there?
Looks like the main SNP in consideration is: https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs1990622. Anyone see the particular allele value that increases risk? My guess (looking at some genetic family data) is if you having an "A" instead of a "G" is the mutation - can anyone confirm?
That is a totally unfair comment. The value of Genius annotations is unprecedented amongst any competition or similar social sites.

I would love to see you Google or Reddit all definitions individually.. seriously.
What a surprising find! I would imagine Cortex-M3 (with 24 KiB RAM in total) a huge overkill for just power management. And it totally escapes me why the realtime co-processors are using a custom ISA solution rather than just using Cortex-M0/3/4. Would have been great to leverage the mature toolchain for Cortex-M!
Truly there should be no use case for the "inline-" prefixed properties anymore. Your HTML+CSS systems should denote layout strictly from parents ("cascading!") and any exceptions to your rules would exhibit either an unsatisfactory rule or an inconsistent design.
This is why I like the question. As an interviewer, I will leave that matter open and see if the candidate asks for clarification. If so, bonus! But I will tell them to just
solve for ASCII.

The worst-case scenario is a "self-hazing" where someone
sees the encoding difficulties and freezes up instead of
asking for clarification. I've never seen that happen
though, in my experience though, everyone -- even the good ones -- just assume ASCII.

And I am happy enough if they do it correctly.
