Ads are awful. It is currently a one-time purchase. Edit: this is one more thing that others were doing wrong.

Edit: Google ads are inane in my localization. You mostly get adult lines and "you caught a virus" scams despite opting out. Google doesn't seem to do anything about it despite complaints. I get paid because I removed the ads (even from demo version) and I do it gladly. Good riddance.

Yes, but I think the posters concern was the opposite.

Uber can establish arbitrary rules for banning, way larger than rules for public transportation. What happens when a private entity decides to ban you from riding public transportation? And you have no car?
It's a good question, and I don't know where the quantitative data exists to answer it.

My personal preference is to hire experienced teammates who have solved similar problems in the past, because at most levels of scale (other than, say, Google's or Facebook's), few problems are truly novel. So it's reasonably possible to predict where the business will be WRT technological requirements in, say, 1 to 3 years, sometimes 5 if you're just getting started, and plan accordingly.

In the case of this particular problem (time series data), there are some pretty easy and scalable answers out there -- Datadog, SignalFx, Wavefront, Prometheus, etc. to start with. So it's not like you have to waste a bunch of opportunity cost going out and building a solution.
Google can create a new "Android Security Update Guarantee" services - for phone vendors.

When phone vendors releases a phone, they can deposit the vendors custom binaries/source in google servers.

Google will maintain and release security updates for vendors for X number of years for Y amount of $$$/Year.

The phone vendors can snap a "Android Security Update Guarantee by Google until year ZZZZ" logo/label on the phone.
I opted for in-app because then I won't have to manage two releases on play store. (demo/free app and paid app)

Closing nuclear power plants and replacing them with coal power plants is simply criminal. In Europe, coal pollution kills ~20,000 people each year (), nuclear never killed a single person, and no study could ever provide any mortality increase due to nuclear energy (outside the Tchernobyl accident, which killed between 200 and 4000 people depending on estimations, after 20 years of study)

To be clear: nuclear is not the perfect solution, is not a renewable energy, and will have to be replaced by something else in the future. But this is the least deadly energy, even safer than wind or solar power ()

Correct me if I'm wrong but usually you know where the tech department stands if you look at what the company is doing.

The exceptions would be if the company is looking to pivot to an "e" solution, i.e. from Retailer to eTailer...
If you want a stable tech stack that'll stay the same for the new few years then check out Clojure + Clojurescipt. I'm still doing the same since I started a few years ago.

Regarding FE dev: I also have a technical Background (EE) and I hated any CSS (HTML isn't so bad). Though, flexbox is a life changer. It's actually enjoyable and I can get stuff done without spending hours on simple layout issues.
You walk. A lot.
A private taxi causes as much congestion as an occupied car on the same trip, plus wasted congestion whenever it is empty (no passenger).

It can only reduce congestion if multiple passengers on different trips are in the car at the same time.

A very weird way to study the outcome of coal air pollution. It seems like this is not really about air pollution but trying to push nuclear energy. Luckily shutting down nuclear plants does not necessarily mean turning on coal power (e.g. in Germany they were replaced by renewables).

Some questions arise though: Which coal power air pollutant is to blame for the birth weight decrease. Which coal pollution mitigation techniques[1] (which are probably now more common) were used by the coal plants?

I call it end-to-end UX and while a lot of UX designers focus only on the UI, no, I do not think it's a meaningless term. There's still a lot of confusion over what UX really means and a lot of designers don't design for the end-to-end experience.

I think a map correlating power plant pollution plume estimates with the reporting hospitals or physicians that provided infant data, and their areas served would be helpful in representing the relationship between these two events.

The bad thing about for profit options is that they often don't work in the best interests of the consumer. Particularly egregiously when being granted a monopoly.
I actually tried TrustZone as well and it was worse, at least for Germany. With NordVPN, I'm seeing speeds at about 60-70% of the original - which is a lot less granted, but it works fine for my day to day stuff like browsing or netflix.
Reply to this plus 2 comments up. Hub spawns _servers_, not kernels. There are a lot of indirection layers, and indeed, being able to _view_ a notebook without starting a kernel is on the todo list. The multi user collaboration is in progress, it's more complicated than it looks. One of the issue is that if this is a "solved" [with many quotes] problem for static documents, as soon as you have code execution it becomes really tricky. The kernel need to run as someone, but who ? The owner of the document ? What are the permission you give to who and how ? There are some case where there are possible answers, but which are really hard to tackle in a generic way across programming languages and various kind of deployments. Ian has an already well advance JupyterLab Prototype that you can connect to Google Drive for live editing. If your company is interested in funding something like that, feel free to write to any of us privately (git log, and grep to find emails), and we can likely setup a contract with numfocus (non profit that handle our funds), the advantage will be that it will be tax deductible for your company (unlike most of gofundme campaigns).
FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

1. HEADLINE: More robust backup tool

As a user who recently switched from Win 10 to Ubuntu Desktop, I tried to setup nightly backups of certain folders to my NAS device with Déjà Dup. After installing missing dependencies and tinkering with the settings for a long time, I finally got it working. Once I did, it wasn't reliable at all. I kept getting various different illegible errors.

IMHO having a robust backup software that just works out of the box would make switching to Ubuntu Desktop more easier and compelling for the average user.

2. HEADLINE: Better GUI to manage VPN connections

Right now there is no way to open the network manager and setup a VPN connection like there is on MacOS. I would like to be able to import my .ovpn file and just click connect.

ROLE/AFFILIATION: Engineering Director @ Kadenze (an EdTech Startup)

I must add that I have found solutions to both the above-mentioned issues but they are technical / complex in nature and not something a layperson would be able to setup very easily. Ubuntu Desktop has come a long way but for a desktop OS to be able to go mainstream, things like that just have to work out of the box.
For this price,they could hire a couple of drivers with minivans and give them mobile phones. No need for an app in a small town.
Yes. The login screen has "click to buy this desktop wallpaper" ads and occasionally paid ad placements (I believe there was a tomb raider one). And recently they've been putting their cloud drive (OneDrive??) ads in explorer (even for the pro edition). It was one of the final straws that pushed me back to linux.
Also, 176 is not terribly many. You'd have to make extra sure you get a sample that represents people at large.
> then you need to deal with them civilly regardless if you feel insulted.

This is bullshit.

Part of what makes humans work is the fact we often won't take abuse even though it might make financial sense to let's our selves be abused.

You have every right to deal with it civilly, but the few business owers who don't deal with a$$holes are making your life better.

No comment on this particular case.
Oh man I know this feel. I have been programming for startups for years and I have always had lots of ideas but never the mental commitment to finish anything.

I'm proud to say that very recently I did manage to complete a side project that I intend to launch in a week or so. It is a social site based on an idea I got from watching Japanese dramas.

What helped in my case was that my idea was really simple to build. I too have zero frontend / web design ability, so I just paid a guy from Craigslist to fix it up. Being able to bootstrap a finished product with a relatively small amount of time / money helps you get in that "closer" mentality instead of just playing around and never finishing.

I'd also suggest not worrying about making money at first. Just try to make a cool product or service. Money is a stressful and distracting motivator I find. Once you have something of value to offer and get some feedback from potential users, then you think more about pricing and marketing.

So in short, start small, don't be afraid to outsource and trade money for time, and don't worry about making a profit right away. That worked for me at least.

Fukushima has demonstrated that humans aren't great at controlling or predicting the real risk of nuclear. The fact is, even if no one dies from acute radiation poisoning, nuclear disasters are costly and devastating.
And who's going to be "The Side Hustler" who goes out and buys a late model Van with a wheel chair lift? And, I imagine Uber would have an aesthetic model requirement too?

It all great, except for the Side Hustlers?

(I recently saw the shimmy man argue with a Uber driver over having to declare bankruptcy. Just wrong. Drivers, maybe it's time to slowly look into forming a union? Quietly. Will it ever happen? No--because too many people are desperate for any work.)
I don't see how your point contradicts with what they said. Selling a new version of MS DOS is not developing/improving/updating a product beyond the point of sale. It's creating a new product to sell, which non-software has been doing forever as well.

Excuses will range from "we put it their with robots" to "aliens put it there for us". Some will use it as evidence of aliens.
In schematic design, it is a common practice to use a letter in the place of the decimal point. For example, a resistor with value 2700 ohms is written as 2K7 ohms, or a capacitor wiht a value of 2.2 uF is written as 2u2F.

Errr, C++ can do this.
It just requires analysis to do it in some cases (not all).

As a trivial example, the point about const is wrong (at least as far as i understand it).
you can const cast stuff, but you still can't modify it, to do so is UB:
Modifying a const object through a non-const access path and referring to a volatile object through a non-volatile glvalue both result in undefined behavior.
So yeah.

As for the abi, any abi arguments are silly.
really.
the compiler can always clone the function, rename it, and do what you want.
or inline it.
or ....

If it really matters, you'd also just change the ABI.
There is no C++ standard ABI.
There's one a lot of compilers use.
If we could get x% better performance using a different one, people would do that :)

The corollary is "If you think you can only get x% better performance by doing that, you are probably wrong".

(I'm excluding things that are low level abis, like x32, etc, since we are talking about language abis)

Yeah, the 25 TFLOPS thing is so weird. Is this just to ultimately force a trade off between simulation fidelity and cycle time for analyzing new designs? Can you not run multiple simulations on separate 25 TFLOPS clusters?

Also, how would regulators be able to verify how many simulations were run on how many designs?
You can definitely browse projects without signing up.
I find it funny and think it's pretty telling that there are bold claims made that are only crossed out after the author is corrected. I feel like a C++ compiler (or any compiler, really) could do practically any optimization that any other one can do, unless that language has explicit restrictions prohibiting such an optimization (e.g. like if the language prohibits the implementation from generating multiple copies of code).

The question is just how smart the compiler would need to be, and that changes as a function of how strict the language is. The more loose the language is, the more smart the compiler needs to be. The more information you encode in the type (or make easy to infer), the less smart the compiler needs to be. Whether it's practical to develop a smart-enough compiler in a reasonable amount of time is probably the real issue.
> (outside the Tchernobyl accident, which killed between 200 and 4000 people depending on estimations, after 20 years of study)

Wikipedia seems to give 4000 as an estimate on those exposed to the highest levels of radiation alone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#Cancer_proj...

On the other hand coal, wind and solar never poisoned our food (wild boars in Germany thousands of km away still often are too radioactive to be eaten ). Coal, wind and solar never led to emergency evacuations. Coal, wind and solar cannot be used to make atomic bombs.

I agree, it was odd to try out an internet company but then give it to one that doesn't have a way to stream to TVs/media players. I don't want to watch football on a small monitor, and I'm not so hardcore of a fan that if I'm out I'll be streaming it on my phone somewhere. I'm sure I will watch a few games on the fire tv this year though.
I researched startups on IndieHackers.com and wrote an article:

https://hackernoon.com/indie-startups-the-ingredients-of-suc...

The summary, well, sums it up pretty well I think:

> Listen to your friends, coworkers, and clients. Find something painful they mentioned that you also have first hand experience with, or that you’ve needed at your job. Package it up so it’s easy to use. Build an MVP, get feedback, iterate. Charge more than you think you should. Listen to your customers. Launch on ProductHunt. Market the hell out of it! Use Content Marketing, reach out to communities, forums, friends, and businesses with cold calls/emails. If you’ve built something great, word of mouth will do its magic. You can do this in your spare time, and probably should.
I dunno, I'm pretty happy in a country where all the major universities are public and the healthcare system is socialized.
Once you're done with that try the "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy (really hardcore sci-fi, eventually goes into weaponizing the laws of physics etc.), or the "Zones of Thought" trilogy (for something comparable to "The Expanse" in terms of sci-fi level).
+1 for the ABI part.
Nothing prevents you in C++ to use multiple ABIs depending on how you plan to build / distribute your library. You can use e.g. `fastcall` inside you library, because you know that you will be using the same compiler to build it and don't expose these symbols publicly, and use `cdecl` for the public facing functions.

Wow, lots of very critical comments. I for one think this is a very good idea. I have a use case right now that pretty much fits the manifesto of timescale. Having the power of SQL is very atteactive. I'm looking to move my current setup to timescale. Will let you guys know how it goes.
in Germany they were replaced by renewables

Do you have a reference for this? Germany has a very aggressive (and highly commendable) plan to move to renewables, but my understanding was that the closing of nuclear plants post-Fukushima was covered by coal. Wikipedia seems to agree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Germany):

At the same time, Germany continues to rely heavily on coal power, with usage increasing to offset the phase-out of nuclear energy.
That is pretty awesome.

I've done the maths. They say money can't buy you happiness but we all have our number. It looks like your number is around $70,000,000.
> I'm not sure if I will(or can) ever do something about this feeling either

Why? Suburban life might be the worst social ill the US has ever faced. If you're starting the mental spiral downward, pick up and move. Plenty of jobs in plenty of cities that aren't wildly expensive, but still are walkable (in certain areas) and have things going on and a normal community.

I know some folks thrive in the suburbs, but I really think it's the single worst long-term policy decision any country has made in terms of the damage it did to community and a sense of togetherness.

I travel a decent amount now, and I am absolutely amazed at how some supposedly "destitute" communities seem far happier than the faux-rich suburban communities in the US. In my opinion the social stratification and divisiveness we're seeing today (e.g. a lack of a sense of togetherness) is directly due to a generation completely cut off from each other in the pursuit of getting away from undesirables and giant houses.

I completely understand folks who would prefer to live in a rural community - but those who prefer to live in the suburbs I just cannot understand. It seems like the absolute worst of both worlds to me.
Verhoeven had the idea for the story wanting to make a satire of the fascist side of American society. Later someone pointed out the plot similarities to Starship Troopers and so they optioned that and made some tweaks to the script to match. It's why there's no powered armour for example. Verhoeven only read the first two chapters of the book before condemning it as boring and right wing.

Don't worry, I've thought about doing something similar - I'm sure others have too. Still not so many people doing it that your niche will dissappear.

Really? Have you already forgotten about this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Fossil_Plant_coal_fly...

If coal plants had the same radiation rules as nuclear plants, they couldn't run.
That's an application issue, not a hardware or OS one. iOS supports up to 10 simultaneous touches.
Also if a terrorist flys a plane into a coal plant they will not make hundreds of km² uninhabitable.
