Not much info here from Velodyne. What's the range? Is this a flash or MEMS device? Resolution?

Advanced Scientific Concepts has had good flash LIDAR units for sale for years. They just cost too much. They sold them to DoD and Space-X.
Continental, the German auto parts maker (a very big company, not a startup) has purchased the ASC technology and expects to ship in volume in 2020. Here's a Continental prototype mounted on a Mercedes.[1] This is mounted at bumper height and has a 120 degree field of view, and has only 30m range. So this is for city driving or slow driving in tight spots.

Continental says they intend to ship in volume in 2020. Nobody is yet interested in ordering enough units in the kind of volume a major auto parts manufacturer needs.

Google uses a high-mounted LIDAR with longer range as well as the bumper height sensors. This doesn't address that market.

I tried switching to VSCode earlier this week and am really having a hard time with it. I'm coming from iterm/vim/tmux. The most painful part has been the lack of a hot key to bring up VSCode. Besides that, I've found that switching between open files in vim (which I use <leader> and buffer number for) is much easier than VSCode (ctrl + number).

edit: Just opened VSCode again and noticed one other major thing that has been driving me crazy. In vim I often have files open in different panes and then make one pane full size while editing. Can't do that with splits in VSCode as far as I know.

I'm no language expert, but I don't think there was any "switch".

As Wikipedia says, "[rite of passage] is the Anglicisation of rite de passage, a French term innovated by the ethnographer Arnold van Gennep in his work Les rites de passage."

"Right of passage" may mean something similar to "right of way", and may be used my mistake when people mean "rite of passage" but there was never a switch in how "rite" is spelled.

I think here is an idea isn't unique to Quants/finance: curated datasets.

Hosted data-sets that are fully cleaned, verified and kept up to date. You pay a fee for the feed, which essentially covers initial and on-going curation. Fees would probably be based on usage (dev/test/commercial etc) but also the realistic market value of curation.

There's a mile of difference between a data-set that's been fed through a few cleaners and is 99% right, and one that is thoroughly checked, 99.99% right, and still updated as such with little delay. The former is the "one-man dev looking for easy passive income", the latter is the "quality datasets taken seriously".

I find this pretty entertaining: The author laments the outcome of Brexit and Donald Trump, and points to the tech world as the source of the problem. But Facebook/Google/Apple and the rest of Silicon Valley are all in lockstep with the author. (Peter Thiel being the only exception.) So the author's problem is not that Facebook/Google created Trump or Brexit. It's that EVEN the mighty Facebook and Google couldn't stop it. It turns out the the folks in flyover country VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE with the elites in the tech sector. And these regrettable unwashed masses came out and voted. Perhaps these deplorables can be convinced of the superiority of secular humanistic socialism. Perhaps not. But blaming Facebook or Google or "Fake News" for these folks' long-held beliefs and desires is either delusion or intentional misdirection.

- Decision maker: "Also, do you really think I'm some sort of walking caricature of doofus management? And if so–what, exactly, is, in your estimation, the overlap of 'has absolutely no clue' and 'has heard of Docker'. Because sure as hell the CEO doesn't know anything about Docker. And while I'm the CTO, it happens that I, like quite a few of these decision-makers, came through the technical ranks. I compiled kernels when you weren't even born! So just once, I would wish you wouldn't attack some ridiculous straw-man of an argument, but the strongest possible argument which I could make. That's what I try to do, and it's why I'm the CTO, and yes, playing golf right now. Cheerio!"

"I, Robot" wasn't an Asimov adaptation, which is why it seems so off. It was actually developed from a script titled Hardwired, with very tenuous links to anything by Asimov, and later re-written with references to the Three Laws. Thematically it's unlike anything Asimov wrote. It directly contradicts most characterizations in Asimov stories, including -- but not limited to -- a direct contradiction of the character of Susan Calvin and everything she stood for in the stories. Old, ugly, cerebral but misanthropic woman turned into a young pretty girl/damsel in distress who's also the hero's romantic interest. Ugh.

It's also an awful, awful movie. (also see: the obnoxious product placement, with Will Smith selling you sneakers at a random point in the movie).
CentOS comes from RHEL, while Docker comes from Moby. So the correct parallel is Fedora-RHEL or Wildfly-JBoss.

Hell no.

Email is the least-intrusive way for me to be contacted by people outside my organization. Some of them I do want to hear from and will be happy to transfer to a more synchronous or intrusive communication channel. Most I don't. Email is the best medium I have for screening those contacts.

Then there are marketing messages and announcements from platforms I use. I like having those pushed to me in such a way that I can easily ignore all but the 3% that are actually of interest.

And notifications. Yes, if a server is on fire, I want SMS or slack. But if someone's added a new ticket to our issue tracker or needs a pull request reviewed? Email is very effective for going through such notifications one at a time at one's leisure and dealing with each in succession.

Finally, there are the occasions where I want to share a big chunk of text with a bunch of people who may or may not be using the same platforms for other communications. It might be an announcement. It might be a list of questions for a vendor. Whatever it is. Email is very effective for that.

Now, what do you propose we replace all of those use cases with?

They're prototyping desktop PCs with acrylic? How does that even work, given that metal sheets are vastly thinner than plastic?

And for the laptops: with the rate of tech innovation I am afraid that when they release a laptop it will be one or two generations of CPU behind... and I also doubt they'll be able to produce something that comes into range with the 2015 MBP (not the awful Late 2016 model). Key points are fan loudness (I have yet to see a powerful AND silent x86 laptop other than the MBP), the trackpad (again, Apple wins with size and functionality by far) and the battery life - I can get 4-6h of Netflix on a single charge, hard to beat this given that Apple has literally billions of cash available to tweak OS X to their hardware for maximum power efficiency.

Microsoft: You need to fix your Skype and Microsoft account issues, this is insane
Agree with this! When I worked at Disney I was blown away to meet very talented people who had been their for seven years and never worked on a game that was released to the public.

But there is a utility in this. We work on software, in which a small team can create a thing that has utility for millions of people for years. With that potential upside, it makes sense to spend the resources on a project even when the odds are less than 50/50 that you will meet the success criteria.
For clarity, the feature isn't removed. You open the developer console (it has like nine keys bound to do this, F12 is the easiest), select the "security" tab, then hit the "view certificate" button.

I buy that this isn't as easy as the old mechanism (click on the TLS lock icon next to the URL) but...
Firefox: open about:config, set network.IDN_show_punycode to true. Next time you open the page, the address bar will show https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/ instead of https://www.apple.com/. Better yet, always type in or bookmark pages where you might enter sensitive information.

I was surprised this was still an issue, as I heard about IDN homograph attacks years ago.
Also the games industry - I'd add soaring content costs for "AAA" games. Trees, crates, terrain, clothing, props from cups to cars etc. etc. these things take and cost a lot to make and the required fidelity only ever increases. It's unsustainable.

Interesting stuff with scanning real world items and photogrammery but these techniques aren't widely used yet.

Marketplaces for models don't tend to solve this because quality isn't consistent and unique content is preferred.
>only mastodon supports important features like CW and message privacy flags

CW was a bolt-on feature that was developed without any consideration for other fediverse servers and how they communicate using shared protocols, privacy isn't really private when you cross servers unless you trust both admins, there are tools for this

> GNU social instances, in general, are not pleasant places. [...] it matters a lot that the vast majority of mastodon instances and mastodon users are basically decent people

The Quitter servers have reasonable rules on this, and I dispute that Mastodon users are basically decent people. They are just people, like everyone else. The tight, polite and respectful Mastodon culture died when the network grew 20x. Now I see plenty of jerks, admins are sharing blocklists based on zero information and hiding the fact from their users, if you speak a non-english language you can be as offensive as you want to be, and there is a massive Japanese Mastodon server that is flooding the network with child porn.

>it's funny that GNU enthusiasts are doing the "you should call it GNU/Mastodon"

Literally no one is seriously doing this.

Certainly seems like it, which means "continual learning" is more important than ever, which seems like it should level the playing field in some sense. I wonder what people with a lot of experience think their main differentiators are that are a result of just having a lot of experience.
Is filtering by score > 100 a good idea? At least you might want to counterbalance that with negative-scoring comments, since people downvote to disagree, and it may be the Reddit audience are more likely to disagree with anyone thinking pot should remain illegal. In fact, why filter on score at all?
I think you skipped reading the article.

The article is about punycode. Using it, you can have a site name like 'apple.com' even though really the domain is made up of various unicode characters.

So even if you were exceedingly careful and you made sure not to fail for googel.com and goog1e.com, you would still fall for the visually correct google.com.
The point of that example was showing there is no moral force behind something simply because the vast majority of people agree with it.

However, with your argument what choice do I have when it comes to paying Federal or State (where applicable) Income Tax? None. I pay it, or else get thrown in a cage/have my property stolen.
It has always been the case that owned metal is much cheaper than cloud. Cloud wins for things like very small machines (you can't buy 20% of a metal box); temporary deployments; and startups where the investors don't want to be on the hook for big $$ capex that they end up needing to shift on eBay post flame-out. Also where you just don't have the ability to run hardware (increasingly the case) and where for whatever reason the cost to deploy and run metal would add up to more than your $70k delta (easy if it needs one more person on staff).

Also remember that funky storage card may have a firmware bug that costs you hundreds of hours to track down and get resolved. That time could have been burned by Jeff Bezos' guys instead..
Instagram was on the path to becoming a true rival to Facebook, that's why Mark Zuckerberg bought it. They had very savvy engineers working on a fantastic product; that's still true it's just happening under different ownership. Facebook didn't beat Snapchat with Facebook, it beat them with Instagram. They tried copying features directly to Facebook from Snapchat and that fell flat.

I wonder if basing a desktop application on top of Servo would be any more painful than on any of the existing self contained HTML/JS delivery mechanism. It probably would be annoying until Servo reaches parity not to be able to use the web technologies to their fullest extent, but at least you have one (admittedly moving) target.
One of the proposed uses for 3D XPoint has been replacing system memory, owing to its extremely low latency (which it has already delivered), high throughput, where it's early, and supposed almost unimaginable reliability/rewrites. In DIMM form it wouldn't have the overhead of a storage controller, could hypothetically be very parallel, etc.

It's extremely early in the technology, and I imagine we will get there. The first SSDs were terrible compared to SSDs now, and 3D XPoint as a technology is extremely scalable and refinable.

Tell us more about trademark and branding guidelines. What do you allow a downstream implemented by others to be called without requiring trademark fees ex by parties similar to amazon (public cloud) or ovh (data center) or redhat/fedora (software vendor) and even nvidia (cuda docker-like) .
For example fedora and firefox has strict trademark policy eventhough they are opensource.

> It's hard to build a customer base when Facebook can just come in, copy you, and corner 95% of the market on the day they release.

Not really. Snapchat is getting copied because its functionality enhances the strategic value of Facebook's core assets. There are plenty of other businesses that would be easy for Facebook to copy technologically, but doing so would undermine the value of Facebook's core assets. Basically Snapchat brought a knife to a gunfight, with the expected results.

Edit: I'm wrong. Removing this comment regarding why certificate revocation checking is still useful, because someone pointed out you can create a new account to get a new certificate from a CA, and I didn't realize it was that easy to just sign up for a new account. (I was thinking of EV certificates mostly so I didn't think of this attack vector at all.) See [1] for background.

Thanks all for pointing that out.

I think the additional confusion here is that LinuxKit (or at least the resulting OS that powers Docker for Mac/Win/etc) used to be internally called Moby, so the build tool just hasn't been renamed.

It's a lot of work that goes into these applications, and I absolutely don't sweat the rejection (hurts a little, but that's all right, we're not in the business of passing the YC application), but as a future suggestion maybe — and I absolutely understand YC gets a ton of applications — if there was a way to just get a short comment on why an application was rejected, it would be so incredibly helpful. One sentence, perhaps even just a standard tick-box canned-response the reviewer hits at the end of reading it ("market-fit not clear", "worried about team", etc.). No interest to argue about it, but the value given back to startups would be tremendous, with very little time required (ticking the final rejection-reason box, even if it just says, "not really something I'd be interested in").

I would even pay for it. I know that's absolutely not within YC's context and mindset, but I'd pay to just read one short line that helps us see what you saw (or hoped to see but didn't).
Hi, I'm both a public transport planner and a tech founder (www.podaris.com). I disagree with your 2nd and 3rd points.

Funding and capacity limitations are indeed the cause of problems, but they're not root causes. They're symptomatic of broken political systems, broken business models, and a moribund industry that often delivers shockingly poor value for money.

Similarly, more money is a solution, but it's not necessarily a good solution, if the majority of that money will be lost due to graft, mistakes, and inefficiencies. (McKinsey estimates that around $1 Trillion dollars is wasted every year, across all classes of infrastructure.[1])

(Note: this assessment has a lot of regional variance. It is mostly true in most of America, mostly false in Singapore, and has various levels of applicability in between.)

Anyhow, before simply throwing more money at the problem, I'd recommend taking a look at how the politics, business models, and industry workflows can be shaken up a bit.
