But the science fiction I know and love is not what is mainstream. Consider the new Star Trek movies. They're bad action movies.
I'm sorry, but all I've right now is a video. The software isn't ready to be released and I'm still thinking about how it should be release (closed or open source).

I appreciate your feedback and will definitely reach out to hacker news as soon as I've something for you to play with.

You seem to imply that I approve of the manner the seller reacted. Not the case.
My comment was on the use of the word "bricking", which I found improper in this case, as well as on the nature of the product, the question being what is the product, just the device or access to the remote servers?

Aside from a snide remark, nothing was added by your comment.
I suppose you were just triggered and felt the need to do some virtue signaling.
Yeah, either you make your whole project GPL, or you buy a license so you can make your code proprietary/non-GPL.

I think you may be seeing this as something it's not.

This is not a group's attempt at making T&Cs readable or understandable. It's not an EFF thing.

This is one guy's answer a challenge he set himself: Terms and Conditions, the text itself, is antithetical to a comic script. So I will make it fit.

This, in my opinion, is more art than anything else. It's something where most of the residents of Silicon X (valley, beach, etc.) will see it as something that it is not. For that reason, I don't think Mozilla was the best place for this to be covered.

I suggest reading the New York Times' review, from about a month ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/books/itunes-terms-condit...

EDIT: I forgot to note, this isn't intended to be a graphic novel in the mass-market sense. It's a Drawn & Quarterly publication, whose comics are not what you'd normally expect.
I don't think that is the case. I felt exactly the same way about s-town about halfway through. Too uncomfortable and invasive.

I don't understand. Software has ultimate economies of scale. Also, they're not paying Uber a fixed cost, they're strictly subsidizing the ride. They can opt out at any time, if I'm reading the article correctly.

> Uber has a lot of expenses and complexity to handle corner cases that will never occur in this town – outsourcing is wasteful. That’s like building a heating system into a house in Phoenix.

One of us is misunderstanding the point of software. Just because you're not using certain capabilities doesn't mean you're charged extra for them. To your point, did you waste money by buying your IDE if you don't use each and every feature, because outsourcing your dev environment is "wasteful"?
To get a reasonable real world working application I believe I've to do something like that. Thanks =)
So, the last startup I was a fulltime engineer at actually worked in this area.

What I would suggest to be maximally useful would be to focus on physiological data: EKG/ECG, EMG, glucose, SPO2, maybe various blood work counts.

All of those are data that are both well-understood and are thrown away regularly, and that if fed into a computer with modern ML methods we could maybe see some really cool stuff.

I'd suggest staying away from unstructured data and things that are primarily of interest to only the business side of healthcare--insurance figures, billing codes, EMR/EHR shit.

If you really wanted to get in there, putting up a minimal and standardized format for representing labs and medications would go a looooong way.

The problem in healthcare isn't the medical stuff--it's that people get bogged down in the inefficiencies of the system and zoom off solving problems that are removed from the immediate task of "what the fuck is wrong with this patient from the instruments I have at hand?"
"Medical-grade AI" has been possible for some diagnosing tasks since 1968. A simple linear model that takes in some features from an X-ray was able to outperform the best doctor in one study: https://goo.gl/yMP7sU
Mostly poor wording from my side I hope; I mean generally when asking that question it should be done respectfully.

Indeed, which is I was criticizing the justification given by parent. The guy received a high salary because his skill set was scarce and in demand. It had little to do with "value driven" (e.g. see anecdotes in this thread of other Google engineers who drove millions in revenue and probably didn't make millions a year).
I realize this isn't based on data, but people have been saying for a long time that SNAP will be the end of the tech bubble. It would be interesting if that happened to be true because SNAP was built on fraud. I don't think people would care nearly as much if SNAP was posting a profit, but after glancing at their financials they don't even predict when that will happen, so their entire selling point is - if Pompliano is telling the truth - predicated on lies.
We could get along just fine, professionally. I can get along just fine with many female colleagues at work. I am just not interested in keeping contact outside of the professional environment and neither in becoming friends, unless I am sexually attracted to a woman.

But now I have a wife and a baby, so I will not bother with other female relationships anyway. I like to keep things simple in life :)
Is this supposed to be cheap? $3-5 for a trip within a smallish town? I get it that this is a subsidized fee already - a taxi trip in my town is at least €5 (though unsubsidized); but in my town (slightly bigger than Innisfil), a bus ticket for €2 will get you anywhere, and people are already complaining about that price tag, because you get better value in larger towns for that amount.

In Vienna, €2 will get you wherever you want to go within the city, no matter if subway, tram, bus, or all of them.

Are buses in Canada 2x as expensive as in Austria? And why?

BTW I think we have 20-30 buses for 40k citizens? How could Innisfil with 36k citizens get by with 1-2 buses? This really confuses me.

UPDATE:

A commenter advised me that €1 != CAD1; and it turns out that Innisfil covers about 4 times the size of my home town, so they are not comparable.
Most recently, I built www.halfchess.com (a personal project using React.js, Node.js and google cloud).

It is targeted at chess lovers who find it difficult to keep their chess skills sharp, as a game requires a continuous commitment of 20-30 mins. Halfchess is played on half of the board and a game completes in 1-3 mins.

Lately I am experimenting (while spending 15-20% of my time) on a new interface for wallet - that just works by taking pictures (an OCR library) and is useful for bill payments. It is targeted at digitally novice users to pay their bills by simply taking pictures.
Why 60?

A city bus has around 30 seats. To get as many passenger seats from sedans, you need 10 sedans. Standing is, of course, an option, but personally, if public transit has standees for a nontrivial distance it is woefully underfunded, overcrowded, and failing.

>99.999% of the time an unadorned swastika is drawn anonymously in public in a Western environment, it's not the religious kind.

Ok, so drawing it is an act of rebellion that tells us something about people, in a piece of public, open, collaborative art that's a good thing.

I want to hear opposing views to my own, if someone sincerely rallies behind a swastika/flag/emblem i want to see, learn why, not usher them away. Reddit has much more abhorrent content than a simple emblem.

You're of course right, you don't have to give free speech. But it helps to do so occasionally especially when the medium prevents any actual harm coming from it.
> What madness that I can't install the latest Android on a three year old phone?

Unfortunately I think this falls to Linus and the kernel developers.

The ARM portions of the kernel are a fucking dumpster fire of epic proportions.

Because every SoC vendor can bolt on different components, there is a truckload of one off code in the kernel to handle every variation of an SoC a vendor makes. Couple this with the fact that there are very few rules governing where and how vendors connect external devices via IO, and you have code for specific boards to ensure they work.

It's simply not maintainable. Many ARM boards ship with heavily patched kernels, which while having their source code released, will never be merged into the mainline kernel because of lack of effort by the manufacturer or simply the kludgy nature of the code offending the good senses of kernel developers.

Where Google can help is by preventing manufacturers from shipping a device with Android unless their kernel changes have been accepted to mainline Linux. This is the only way to ensure support for multiple years.

Actually, that will only help devices which have Google Play Services. Since Android is open source Chinese manufacturers can just release their own builds based off AOSP which don't include Google Play Services and then Google has absolutely no recourse.
The VA hospitals arn't the only government run healthcare in the world. Some others are good, some are bad. As with everything reducing the options down to two political choices just seems to makeveryone stop thinking about creative ways to solve problems.

The uber thing is a good choice for Innisfil. They wouldn't have the money to roll their own ride share, and they can't afford the infrastructure to create a bus system.

As a software engineer who has built a side project that more or less pays my Bay Area mortgage here is my advice:

Find an idea that plays to your strengths and build something with a friend/coworker who is a better frontend developer. A good partner is invaluable, and with this you can already see how.

Also, charge on day one imo.

I've heard that one approach to these kinds of projects (small number of games, no original source code) is to translate the code to (really ugly) C and compile that into a library-like blob; this can require manual intervention for runtime-dispatched jumps, overlays/mappers, and other dynamic oddities. At that point you can start using host/target debugging tools and it's "just" a matter of finding the entry points and data structures that you care about (player inputs, graphics patterns/palettes/coordinates, timers, etc.) instead of trying to RE the entire ball of mud.
The real power of time series databases comes from the ability to aggregate metrics based on arbitrary dimensions. For example, to create a dashboard containing stack graphs of http requests summed across all servers of a particular application name, grouped by response code, one for every application name, then separately sectioned in the dashboard by region - but only for the servers in the production environment. And none of the dimension keys or values are known to the database in advance.

Datadog, SignalFx, Prometheus, and Wavefront all have this ability. It's now standard functionality for any reasonably advanced time series monitoring implementation.

The fact that your implementation happens to be backed by Postgres is interesting, but it's merely an implementation detail as far as power users are concerned.

There's more to it? Being a cloud service means there's a simple API to open the garage door, using vanilla networking standards. The IoT is maybe more about just using IP for communications instead of special signaling devices (garage-door-opener radios etc).

Even if I just wanted to control the door from my desk at home, I'd still benefit from it being IoT-based.
The 80s had their high points for sure, but computer interfaces really aren't one of them unless you like green-screen mainframe interfaces.

IMHO, the peak for UIs that are easily usable by regular people with minimal training was back in the mid-to-late-00s. It was before this idiotic flat-UI fad, when UIs had a colorful 3D look to them so they were actually attractive, and also functional (since they were also very discoverable). This was just before everyone suddenly decided that PC UIs needed to be the same as those used on small touchscreens.

However, I will say those 80s mainframe interfaces were extremely functional. For someone who had taken the time to learn it, they could get work done really quickly.

Apologies for nitpicking, but I find it rather important: Websockets are not tunneled over HTTP, they are only negotiated over HTTP. Once you are connected, there is no overhead of sending HTTP headers back and forth.
Discipline Returns to Venture Capital
I live in Waterloo, Canada. Cash fare for the bus is $3.25 and tickets are $13.30 for 5. Once the ION LRT opens up next year I'll be able to take that on the same fare, all integrated.
I wish I could understand from the readme if this is somehow P2P or if it requires a server or even mapping a domain in DNS. They state it avoids the problems of centralized solutions without saying how that happens for a layman.
Companies don't dream of staying small, and they want solutions that scale with them. If they do end up growing, planning ahead with a purpose-built solution saves time and resources recouping technical debt.

List down 25 products/services you consume regularly. For each, ask whether a better version could be done. Yes? Do it.

Here's one case: the local/popular site to search for used cars sucks. It is slow, hard to see/compare all options, silly reloads the page on each added filter, filled with outdated listings, flooded with ads, and pic slides take forever (all of this on my slow phone over a slow 3g which is how most visitors must be using it). Furthermore, car dealers (who post most listings) complain about service and price. So I built the proverbial mvp and put it in the hands of my marketing partner (you won't sell a line of code if you do not partner with a person/company dedicated to push your stuff) who's already working on a deal with the used car dealers association, pitching a novel business plan, hopefully making some passive income for both of us.
Each deal is custom tailored to the optionee. As you can imagine, some people have higher strike prices than others and as a result, the economics of the deal would change. We typically aim to take a minority position because we want our counterparty to have a vested interest in the shares.
Any resources you'd recommend for learning online marketing?
Where do you get the crazy idea that Google doesn't run its links to saturation? It's crazy because it would cost an enormous amount of money.

The B4 paper states multiple times that Google runs links at almost 100% saturation, versus the standard 30-40%. That's accomplished through the use of SDN technology and, even before that, through strict application of QoS.

This is going to sounds like crazy advice, but having worked on many side projects in my life the last thing that's going to let you down is your skills. What you really need is time. Let's say it takes you 400 hours to build your project -- in those 400 hours, you will build up enough skills to get you started (not nearly enough to be good at it, but good enough).

So you need to work consistently 1-2 hours a day on your side project. It really doesn't matter what you do. If you manage to get those 1-2 hours in, you will muddle through and accomplish something. If your goal is to make a side project and bring in a non-zero amount of money, this is achievable. Learn whatever you learn on that project and then do it again.

Personally, I would spend exactly $0 on your task because, like I said, the thing that will kill you in the end is likely to be time commitment. If you spend money, you will be out the money and your time. So start with time and see where it takes you.

As others have said, no need to get fancy. Just build the simplest thing that will get you started, using the simplest tools you can find.
Just a nit, but the SF Muni us the larger of the bus (and general transit) systems in the bay area[1]. Its busses more then double AC ridership and including LRV it more than triples ACT's ridership.

I've had the idea of using a distributed IP blacklist using federated subscriptions ala diaspora and GNU social before and I think it might be the one solution to actually have any kind of leverage in fighting abuse on the fail2ban-level for everyone who is not Google.

There is probably still more work to do and this (IMO) does not scale to Layer 8 that easily.
I do it by pairing on a standard problem, one I'll use over and over. That can be real work in the domain or a toy problem. Both seem to work pretty well to me.

I'm pretty sure having candidates do unpaid work is illegal in California, which is another reason not to have them pair on actual work that you plan to ship.

Roblox | San Mateo CA | Onsite, Full Time

We're building what I'd have loved at 12 when I wanted to automate my Legos and Construx. It's a scriptable, distributed physics engine, which expands to support games of any size on PC, mobile, and console. Devs publish their game and we spin up servers for them, make physics and networking work, and overlay a friends graph / social network to connect them to players. Top games have 30k+ simul players, but the tail is very long.

We have over 40m monthly active users, and some devs on the platform are making 100k USD/month (and are still in high school, and have hired their friends to form studios).

We're hiring physics/rendering/networking C++ engineers, windows devops engineers (massive scale), C# (or willing to learn) full stack engineers, and data scientists. Check it out at http://roblox.com - it's a downloadable client (to support native 60fps graphics). Make sure to try "Natural Disaster Survival"!
