Launching, not so much because often the idea of launching creates a PR driven process optimized around getting attention rather than the hard work of talking to people at the risk of rejection. It's not that PageRocket is not a fine piece of work. It's more than GoDaddy and Wix run advertisements on TV for free websites and WordPress has a free tier and that's what PageRocket is competing against (plus its own free tier).

but since it's an immature product, we had to decrease the price significantly

There are many people, including myself, who feel reluctant to charge people a lot of money and find reasons to lower their prices. One way of validating a business idea is whether or not people will pay a substantial amount of money for something that has not yet been built. Patio11 (Patrick Mackenzie) tells the story about validating Appointment Reminder here: https://www.conversionaid.com/podcast/patrick-mckenzie-kalzu...

I recommend his advice (since much of what I have written here is stolen from him, much of the rest was stolen from YC) regarding bootstrapping a business.

The third source of my advice is my own business experience. I've learned that getting to "No" quickly is better than a slow death of maybe and starvation revenues that only allow writing the rent check.
In America, some christian religions want more and more rights and want to take away the rights of other religions and people that don't practice their religion. They feel that is what the founding fathers wanted when forming this country so it is OK to do this. This is the "literal meaning" of the constitution in their mind. This is why some other people are very sensitive to issues such as this and why these people feel that a christian prayer at the beginning of a government activity or christian artifacts on government property should be banned. That prayer would not be allowed if it were a prayer to satan, right? It is not about freedom to exercise religion, it is about freedom to exercise a christian religion which is different.

In my opinion, the option that is the most fair to all citizens would be that everyone should be free to practice any religion they like in their private home and in their church. Religion shouldn't be mixed with government, in statues, in prayers unless it is in private.
My target is to live in Sweden after I finish grad school. I've been looking at ECE positions to gauge the market, and it strangely seems pretty small. The good thing is that Sweden has a special 1 year work visa deal with several countries including Australia, which I am a citizen of. My plan is to use that year to do some direct job hunting and also make sure I like the country!
No. JetBlue doesn't overbook. Starting in Q3-4 of 2016 JetBlue starting having fleet issues with the A321s and many times had to swap in a A320 (with ~50 fewer seats) due to mechanical issues with the newer A321s, which resulted in a massive spike in involuntary denied boardings. You can definitely argue that if you get bumped from your flight the cause doesn't matter much, but JetBlue apparently does NOT overbook at all... Which I respect.
Latency is more important than bandwidth but it's also a lot harder. You're running into c and c is a constant.
I'm pretty sure both rings are normal whole-tone scales and all the places you have marked as Xn are simply Xb.

Curious though if you have a take on the boxed numbers over the C's. Perhaps calling out how the original tonic position changes in relation to everything else as you move around the circle?

It's very dispiriting to see someone with your skills having any trouble finding work. You should be in very high demand.
Just want to high five you. Projects like this are what keep me up late at night having fun.
There's more to consumption and creation. Snapchat is ephemeral and fun - so you're somewhere and thinking "this would be a great snap" so it makes sense to open to the camera.

Instagram is so much more self-regulated and bound in crafting identity. You're right in that it's much more focused on consuming since the barrier to posting is much higher than snapping.
If RAM lookups only cost 2 cycles they would beat L2 and L3 cache.

The real problem is the speed of the RAM, not the distance, for now. When RAM gets a request it can take many cycles to respond, sometimes as many as 50 or 60 before the first byte is returned.

If you are smart you can request large sequential chunks and after the first bytes things come down to the the CPU very fast, but that initial hit is still something a lot of people optimizing algorithms are wrestling with.
Personal attacks are not allowed on Hacker News no matter how wrong another person is.

We all know how activating it can be when someone treads callously into a painful area. But you need to let that surge pass before replying. Failing that, re-read your comment and edit out any uncivil bits after you post. In this case, deleting the first and last paragraphs would have made for a fine comment and a more effective rebuttal.
Critical thinking is good - but kids can ask questions that are very difficult to answer (but we think of those as common knowledge)

For example: This question

> Why is 1+0 = 1 and not 10

Attempt to find an answer will generate more questions and it is a journey down the rabbit hole. Sometimes you don't want to do that.

And upto high-school I learnt things that were based on assumptions that I kept questioning. Internet brought be some peace in my college years. Unfortunately, nowadays internet is also filled with fake/wrong/hoax/biased stuff.

I doubt that. If you're referring to the people adding the json datatype & operators, there's little overlap with the people working on replication related issues.
I wonder if machine learning will lead to worsening of the echo-chamber problem.

"Error: The message cannot be sent because it does not conform to accepted groupthink."
Perhaps not what you meant, but the sun has a birth, a lifetime during which it throbs with 'life' and a death.

Meanwhile the Earth has a heart (core), blood (mantle), skin (crust) etc, it also throbs with 'life' unlike many other dead worlds out there.

Neptune is very much 'alive' compared to Uranus etc ...
Why not a step further? Why allow entertainment of any sort? Surely musicians and artists could best be served pumping gas and digging ditches, as well! \s
They changed the return policy on climbing gear to be much shorter. The gear coop has pretty good climbing deals and a good selection and a lifetime return policy(iirc) just don't abuse it.

Edit not lifetime anymore. Both places are one year.
At Google, the team that I worked on required the format `// TODO(name): [Tracking Bug#] comment `

In other places, I've seen just blanket `// TODO: comment` is pretty bad. There's no accountability and also you don't know when it's obsolete.
That's pretty inaccurate as a rule. TDPs are specified for a standard graphics workload. Compute tasks can easily draw between 50% and 150% of the rated TDP. A given task may bottleneck on bandwidth or some other limit long before it hits a high level of TDP (which may fall into the generic 'unsuited for GPU' category and can never really be optimized).

So apart from a generic inspiration to keep going further, this really does nothing for you. In fact you may still have further performance gains possible after this heuristic tells you to stop.
As I elaborated on elsewhere, if you focus on task parallelism to the exclusion of data parallelism, like Go tends to do, then you are not making good use of the hardware.
Your last paragraph had me intrigued. I'm now wondering what other observations we have that are simply special cases due to low dimensionality.
Aren't we overlooking a rather more likely possibility here - that the NSA has itself been hacked? You're right, I see no reason why slideware would be sitting outside the NSA corporate networks and I'm sure they have various procedures to try and prevent exactly that. The two remaining possibilities are:

1. Another leaker who isn't Snowden

2. A third party who has gained access to the insides of the NSA

I don't see why we're apparently ignoring 2 in this thread. The Snowden leaks made it very, very clear that essentially nothing is unhackable. And it's not like the USA has a monopoly on hacking skill. What else do we know about the NSA? That they perform the largest WireSharking in history, they literally parse most of the internet with a giant collection of programs which I will assume are written in C or C++ for the sake of performance (though a lot of Perl seems to crop up for analysis purposes too).

What are the chances that the NSA have managed to build a huge network with hugely complex interfacing to the entire internet, and huge amounts of software, without opening themselves up to attack by equally sophisticated attackers? I'd say close to zero.
You are correct, the 80286 was a 16-bit processor. You might have been able to run Win 95 on a 386, but a 486 was probably as low as you really wanted to go, and really a Pentium was needed to have a usable system.
As a mini-update to this I have gone back and forth a couple of times with Amazon on my email at this point. And the quick summary was :

Me: You're moving into day 2 with all this counterfeit and weaksauce crap in your inventory

Them: We've got a process for reporting that

Me: See Jeff's paragraph about relying on process, and any process that requires the customer to have a bad experience to activate isn't a long term win.

Them: Hmmmm.

For me, the crux is if Amazon can crack the problem of being able to preemptively identify seller fraud and bad actions ahead of the customer being effective. They have a lot of tools at their disposal to put onto that.
Ok so don't install a browser if you really can't control yourself from being distracted by the internet. Install a block list of all news sites, social media, and whatever sites you waste time on if you need to go online.

Upvoted you. I'm a very cynical person, and thus I focused on the "weekend" aspect as being more of an attempt to refute the claim that Reddit had to put in quite a bit of effort to accomplish what they did, rather than you simply limiting how much time you're willing to sink into it.

If anything, this only increases my motivation to replicate the project myself, whether it's during a weekend or two full weeks. It's interesting enough and at the right level of complexity - kind of simple, but not too simple - to make it a fun side project.

Actually, I was impressed how much security Bosch included in their device.

That sums up my experience pretty accurately. Granted, I lived there almost 10 years ago, so I don't have an accurate picture of what it's like now. I also find it interesting that you say that obesity is a problem there, because I never got that sense during my time in Wellington. The quality of food is incredible, like you say, but people take in a lot of sugar and alcohol. I could see diabetes being a problem, but people were generally thin. Then again, I come from LA where it's not uncommon to see morbidly obese people putting around in electric wheelchairs, so my definition of obesity might be different.

I have a buddy who works in IT and lives in Dunedin. Don't really have any other details, but I'd suspect that there are opportunities outside of the two big cities, though they are probably in the few. He seems to enjoy it.

Health care was a mixed bag. If I remember correctly, it's pretty socialized. You can see a doctor right away with little or no charge, which is almost unheard of in metropolitan U.S. unless you want to pay through the nose. I also remember spending more time with the doctor per visit, in contrast to my experience in the states where it seems like you might get about 5 good minutes with a doctor. At this point, I've realized that I diagnose myself much better than most doctors, so I just skip the whole waiting process and just buy whatever prescription drugs I need online. I wouldn't even have to go through that hassle if I still lived in NZ. The disadvantage to NZ healthcare, and dental care, is that their practices are sometimes really backwards. Especially with the latter. Dentists are far more likely to just yank out a tooth than try to save one. As an example, they almost pulled out one of my younger sister's front teeth and give her a plate. Obviously, this sucks for a teenage girl(anyone really), and it was for an infection that could have been treated without uprooting the whole tooth. My mother actually consulted our dentist in the U.S., who then called the doctor in NZ to tell him how to treat the tooth without pulling it. This was also at one of the better dentists in Wellington. Granted, this is just one person's experience, but it's in line with what seems like medical practices that seem 15+ years behind in many regards.

Overall, my life in NZ was one of the highlights of my life. Despite the challenges, I had so many life changing experiences there. The landscape and hiking are unlike a lot of other places. Everyone is super friendly, smart, and easy to get along with. If you're more introverted and feel out of place where you are, you might enjoy NZ better. I know I did, as I was far more introverted in my teens. Yet that was one of the first times I'd had actual friends who genuinely enjoyed my company. I might be tainted from growing up in LA, but everyone in NZ is far less "fake". The food is great if you're willing to forego Mexican food(of which there is none comparable to the Americas).

Now, I read these accounts and I wonder, if this is how businesses are run, even a small fraction of them, how are they in business at all? Like, it seems 'business' is really forgiving in terms of staying alive, like turning a profit must be really easy if these morons can do it and stay afloat for any length of time. But you go on /r/entrepreneur or some threads on HN and it is made out to be just a real drag and really really hard to do. What am I missing here, why the disconnect?
You might be able to find some of our shit still in orbit. Also, I'm not sure of the timescale for things to decay on the moon, but would something from Apollo be left up there? Depending on how far into the future, what if something bigger eventually got built?

65M years is a long time and I have no idea what, besides radiation and meteorites, would cause something to decay on the moon. Is it possible for something the size and rough composition of a car to survive?
The title on the article is so much more descriptive. Can it please be edited to match?
That's an excellent question, and honestly, I am not sure. I know we have been asked to send invoices not attached to a customer order AND only one listing was taken down (as opposed to the entire brand), so perhaps it's all suppliers that have contributed qty to that pick location go through a similar different workflow? While I know they have the audit info to do this, I am ultimately guessing on this scenario.
Wait, you're telling me that there's an organization who's actions differ quite a bit from what they tell people their mission statement is?

Next you'll be telling me that Google does evil.

"That is, in a Darwinian way, clearly the product survived WITHOUT implementing the changes someone thought it needed."

...and this is one reason that many business die, the assumption that past performance is indicative of future results.

The reality is that you are making a bet with unlimited downside (e.g. a naked call in stock parlance) when you don't address technical debt.

Moore's Law trumps Amdahl's Law when you decide to simply solve two problems at the same time.

Instead of a 19X speedup on rendering, you get an 18X speedup on both rendering, physics, and AI, and gain some extra responsivity on the mean-time.
If we cause a mass extinction, including that of ourselves, wouldn't we be creating a lot of hydrocarbon deposits eventually?

I think anger is ok and justified at times, and not always just a consequence of being in the wrong state of mind, etc. I think we're more and more moving to a mindset where anger is just not really ever acceptable, either to feel or to display.

But, that's all a bit heavy for what this is trying to accomplish, which is certainly an understandable goal.
They don't, so there is certainly many use cases for real time gc:s. But keep in mind that the more parameters are known, such as heap size, memory allocation profile, software to run, hardware and so on the less useful gc becomes.

Often the cost of the extra complexity + specialized hardware outweighs the benefits of using a gc:ed language.
They seem to over-withhold in Canada as well, and I disagree with it for similar reasons.

On the other hand, it is likely a huge benefit to the poor and those who are poor at managing their money. Come tax time, they could easily face a bill that exceeds their paycheck and paying interest on top of their taxes. It would also cost the government more since they would have to pursue collection more aggressively.

Let's imagine one note as a point on a plane, then an interval (2 notes) as a line connecting those notes. Next we have a chord (3 notes) and we get a triangle. By inverting the notes of the chord (135, 351 etc) we get a ring that representd different triangle shapes. Let's go into third dimension by adding one more note, thus a 4 chord can represent a pyramid.. you could also stay in 2D and represent a square etc.. by modulating and changing the tonal center you can move around the canvas or in space.. representing different data structures.. the horizontal movement would animate the structure as well!
Well I mean aren't they basically just an 18-bit transputer? I don't know if there's anything they'd excel at that you couldn't get from a more familiar architecture but people figured out how to do things on transputers.
Exactly. If you write in a way that allocations are controlled, GC becomes irrelevant to performance. Well-optimized Go without allocations is indistinguishable from C (modulo compiler differences).
Are any of these meaningful?

"Aren't we overlooking a rather more likely possibility here - that the NSA has itself been hacked?"

That's the most obvious one to me. I thought everyone assumed it until I saw some of these comment threads. If it's Russian, it probably goes back to Kaspersky tracking the Equation Group. They put together about everything about how they operated. Giving Russian intelligence this information combined with trip-wires or tip-offs on live activity by NSA hackers would let Russian hackers attempt to own their boxes. They could just work from there.

Alternatively, it could be result of long-running infiltrations that U.S. government has been talking about for decades. At various points, U.S. TLA's said China is throwing piles of spies at us in a numbers game whereas Russia was using (I think it was) 4x more than during height of the Cold War. We also know they're easy to infiltrate and have terrible security since Snowden did and showed exactly that. Plus Manning just pulling everything they had from an Army private's account in Middle East. The leaks could've come from infiltrators, too.

So, we have infiltrators, hackers via Kaspersky data (or similar), or insiders that for whatever reason want to humiliate them. Whatever Shadow Brokers say about themselves is just propaganda. They're one of the above with probably typical motivations of agents in those categories.
