Yet, at the same time I would think twice before working at gitlab now. I feel the CEO or HR should have had an NDA in place with a generous severance. Also, I would be hesitant about hiring the engineer. He was given a great challenge, but instead of rising to it, he made up excuses about needing mentorship. At the very least, he could've generalized the problem, and made an open source library as leverage for finding an even better job. Yes, he still might've gotten fired, but at least he'd have a tool he could call his own.

In the states, that's always been whatever they feel like charging. I do know my doctor pull his prices out of the air.

I would love to know the prices patients out of pocket pay.

I have had doctors put me on addictive drugs, and then required me to show up for prearranged visits. I had one raise prices when I even asked about the price of the office visit. I learned to just show up, and pay the dude.

Yea--lost that respect years ago. At one time, I really respected the profession.

I actually have a few different setups on my various Windows computers, just to test things. And they are all pretty much equivalent, the only difference is the console I use (Cmder, msysgit, etc...).

The main take aways:

- I share all my dot files (.bash_profile, etc...) between Windows and Mac OS. They are in a Google Drive folder and whenever I move to a new machine, I just copy them all verbatim and they work right away.

- Bash, git and ssh work out of the box on these Windows/UNIX shells.

I agree with the colors, fonts and the copy/paste interaction on Windows. Not great, but tolerable. I want to experiment with more consoles since there are so many to choose from on Windows.

Oh and Cmder has transparency and you can configure copy/paste to be by line instead of by block, at least.

Story: "F-35 Continues to Stumble"

Silent computers at full load are very rare, but a common PC is noisy even at idle.

My point is simply that one has to put special effort when building a PC to even get silence at idle.
On the flip-side, never let one of your staff leave your company so unhappy they write a hit-piece.

As a CEO you'll know if your company has been a less-than-great manager to a member of staff. (If don't have lots of written evidence that you've been managing them well ... you've probably been managing them badly.)

This guy is pained he wasn't able to contribute as Gitlab grew. You can't always bring someone round as a company changes shape, but you can be kind & generous if you need to fire them.

this is extremely wrong. I watched the city I grew up rapidly gentrify, and I have seen my new city(nyc) rapidly gentrify over the past decade. I think your opinion is due to personal underexposure and perhaps some bias toward urban lifestyles.

Take Obamacare as an example. Leaving aside the issue of whether socialised healthcare is a good idea, Obama had to circumvent the law by instructing the IRS to collect revenues via an executive order.

Is that really a precedent that should have been set? Even socialists should have been a little uneasy at the disregard for the Constitution there, but instead, the ends won out over the means, and it went ahead.
I think with platforms like this it is now safe to say that the systems and services Google is deploying are no longer in the same category as classical networked systems.

WebVR concerns me because of the garbage collector and the stop-the-world behaviors you see in browsers. VR is touchy. If you drop frames, you don't notice it just with your eyes, you notice it with your stomach. It feels really, really bad. Getting adequate perf out of a browser for this stuff seems really implausible.

One of the biggest weaknesses of gitlab, that becomes glaring as you add more and more projects, is that a code repository and a project are considered one and the same thing. It's quite common to want two or more separate repositories for an actual development project (e.g. frontend/backend or client/server etc.).

Of course gitlab's problems arise from the fact that their whole reason for existence is being an open-source copy of github. (And github is designed first and foremost as a public facing opensource management tool... which forces a lot of their product design choices).

Does phabricator work on a different paradigm that's more conducive as an internal tool to manage dev projects for a single organization?

This is a great step forward, however the nature of all "domains" is centralised. DNS is a great idea, that decouples the centralisation to many parties, but it is central at many points; registrars, ICANN, DNS servers (though can be local). Tor's unique .onion address are the perfect way to fix the centralisation and the security, but comes at the cost of human readability.

A $20MM raise suggests a $100M valuation or so. That's a 20x increase in the stock price. OP's outlay would be something like $4000 + $35000 (state tax + short term capital gains. Less depending on how he hits AMT.). I don't think that's trivial, even if I'm off by a factor of 2.
The effects were cool, but I wish they hadn't randomly remixed elements from the franchise with a story that directly goes against the themes of the original.

I would be curious about the legality of working around that restriction - like, what if the option holder creates a contract with someone who wants to buy the options, where they agree to hold onto them and then give them to the buyer once they are allowed to in return for a lump sum payment up front. Or, perhaps, they set up an agreement where they are given a lump sum payment up front, and agree to pay the buyer an amount equal to the current value of the stock once it becomes publicly available.

Yeah adding buttons to the top of a detail page, or a second form page for an admin action are unnecessarily hard. I've had to do both a number of times in the last few months, and referring back to an existing implementation is the only way I remember how to do it.

Those two particular customisations should be a lot easier to do, and it might even be something I'll look to implement as a 3rd party library or directly within Django.

Yes, so now we have this split where you can buy equipment from a whole range of manufacturers and suddenly the phone company doesn't care at all what crap gets on their networks.

This to me clearly indicates that the carriers at least have the option to ensure that the equipment connected to their network is up to certain standards. But since they don't car e (they never did) they'll be happy to sell you a phone from some manufacturer that is most likely not going to outlive the contract because of the extra margin they make on that phone.

So either they should take it back for some residual value (which they can then try to recover from the manufacturer) or they should ensure it keeps working properly.
>Who remembers RSS feeds? I miss those days. We should have some superior spin on that but for social networks.

I'm actually looking forward to the day when the outflux of workers balances out the influx. As it is right now, influx > outflux, so the population in SV is still growing which actually contributes to the housing crisis. Because the difference, or the growth of population is greater than the growth of housing. Influx - Outflux > Housing Growth.

Once outflux > influx, we might actually see some sanity to housing prices.

We're actually in talks with a fellow Scandinavian that lives in Yunnan right now!

When I lived in Shaolin a long time ago I did spend some time exploring Yunnan, the mountains are amazing, some of the most stunning views I've ever seen. This was more than 15 years ago and there seemed to be very little interest in electrical vehicles or renewable energy, I'm happy to hear things have improved!

SkySails have been exploring pulling large ships with kites, but I don't think it's very practical for trucks, then it makes more sense to go via electricity. Apart from the impracticality, there are also pretty subtle reasons of efficiency. They did use kites to pull vehicles in Ancient China though!

I'm the cofounder of a startup building a new EHR to help solve this problem (we just applied to YCS17).

We will use NLP and AI to provide structured data from unstructured medical data (encounter notes, etc...) stored in the EHR for both analysis and integration. For example, one of our partners right now wants to integrate directly into our EHR in order to run computer vision algorithms on top of uploaded eye exam images in order to help diagnose eye diseases. We give them access to the eye image and other patient data, including the encounter, diagnoses, etc. After they have trained their algorithms, we then allow them to hook directly into the encounter workflow to send alerts live to the doctors during the appointment. We want to be a platform to help other startups and researchers connect with medical data both for analysis and also to help make a meaningful impact directly to doctors' workflows and patient care.

We would love to help out and/or learn about any use-cases that others might have requiring medical data. If you would like medical data or would want to integrate directly into a doctors' workflow in their EHRs based on NLP/AI hooks, we would love to hear from you. You can reach out to me directly at ginn@stanford.edu
Depends on your threat model.

From TFA: Another attack on Samsung Smart TVs was published last week that used malicious commands embedded in broadcast TV signals.

So, even if it's airgapped, a tv that's been compromised in this way is effectively a hostile general-purpose computer with a wifi card running inside your house.

If this is something you would do for a Klondike bar, then go ahead. I'll keep my dumb TV and my Kodi box, though.

Well, part of the claim is a personal experience, so evidence isn't strictly required, since the source is making the statement. At that point, you have to determine how well you trust the source.

More evidence would be preferred, and would definitely raise my trust that there wasn't some mistake of memory, but it seems a bit extreme to dogpile on someone who is stating what they believe as fact from personal experience, and when asked for verification seems willing to try to find that but without the knowledge or ability to do so and asking for pointers on how to do that.

that's what we thought, but you get a solid 60fps on a typical laptop in a 4 way webrtc video conference, or when showing 4K 360 degree video (plus a video call). My Samsung S5 manages about 30fps in Cardboard mode, which is adequate for Cardboard, and on a proper gaming rig it works flawlessly with a Vive or Rift. Seriously: try the demo at https://matrix.org/vrdemo in browser and see!

The only perf problems we've had are when using VP8 or VP9 for WebRTC video, whereas H.264 (which the demo prefers) correctly decodes efficiently in hardware... and on Firefox where unfortunately https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246410 slows down the 360 video significantly (to around 20fps for 4K video on the gaming rig) relative to Chromium which manages a solid 30fps (which is the source framerate).

The only motion sickness we've seen has been when editing the skiing videos - the worst thing in the world is if the cameraman wobbles the camera whilst getting up from the floor but your head doesn't move...

> This is as foreign a concept from traditional networking and the seven layer OSI model as non von Neumann computing is from von neumann computing

Not really. The OSI model doesn't say anything about where I run my routing algorithm and BGP application vs. where my actual switches are.

"Classical" networking is an artifact of viewing routers/switches as monolithic blocks that embed all of their functionality in one black box. I said BGP application above because that's what it is, an application for distributing/communicating state. The same can be said for many other parts of networking traditionally embedded in the monolithic blob we often call a router.

Label switched fabrics provide inherent NFV, security functions, and allow you to influence paths (i.e. traffic engineer) from applications that are equipped to make decisions based on your priorities, not some rigid vendor implementation.

You will see more of this.
> It's not just the storage itself (which is really cheap nowadays), but more of the fact that every byte read and written needs to go through the processor, pollutes RAM and poisons caches. Less storage usually translates into direct performance gains as well.

FWIW, I think that's currently a good chunk away from being a significant bottleneck in postgres' query processing. But we're chipping away at the bigger ones, so we'll probably get there at some point.

Designs have to be implemented in something.

Currently UX designers are often like chefs who work by drawing pictures of food and writing down conceptual recipes. When they've created a beautiful menu this way, they're surprised to find out that their recipes can't actually be made using the cooking equipment available, and some of the ingredients don't even exist. You're not going to run a Michelin-rated restaurant like that.

The industry desperately needs better UI development tools. To continue my (already strained) food analogy... Right now we are still in a "hunter-gatherer" stage where everyone does their own thing, teams are foraging and hunting, and occasionally they stumble on something great. Consistent UX will require an "agricultural revolution", a systematic production innovation that makes the essential pieces more understandable and repeatable in isolation.
> How do you solve the user experience problem associated with PGP in terms of sharing keys?

Rely on keybase.io and keyservers to offer some potential matches + in the future work on a better protocol for key discovery (e.g. key discovery as an smtp extension). This was talked about before, and in the past our competition showed interest in supporting it.

> You cannot send an encrypted email to someone you have never communicated with before, right?

Yes, unless you generate a keypair as the sibling comment suggests. That's not something we're considering yet, I'm not sure yet how it would affect our policy of "zero knowledge" (misappropriation of a cryptography term, meaning that the server doesn't have access to unencrypted data at any time).

RPC doesn't have an Uniform Interface.

Say you have a user profile, which has a Gravatar associated. Sure you can have a getUserProfile() procedure that fetches the user information, but what about the image? You can write a getUserAvatar() procedure that proxies it, but that's wasteful.

In a RESTful system, you have a Resource Identifier (URL) that you can indicate as an hypermedia reference (link), with which the client can use a standard data fetching verb (GET) to retrieve it directly from the other server.

Of course, in a practical setting the getUserProfile() procedure would return the URL, but that's just an admission of the limitations of RPC vis-a-vis REST.

On the other hand, REST itself has its own problems and limitations, and is certainly not adequate for every use case, as Fielding's dissertation mentions at length.
As a development manager, I agree. Even assuming everything he says is 100% true, his main goal still just feels like venting. Which is fine, but you should vent to friends, not in a public forum like this. It would make me question his maturity.
