So they're taking a rather quantum take on this as a superposition of states that are unknown until measurement occurs and they collapse the wave function into being "collected". Cool.

He said "zero-sum in a way" and that is true. At any given point in time it is zero sum, and for practical purposes you can approximate it as zero sum.

To say that if i robbed all of silicon valley investors of their money and claim it won't affect the funding prospects of new startups would be a lie.

You _believe_ CO2 is a greenhouse gas? How sure are you about 2 + 2 = 4?

What problems do you run into? I've had good luck with a pretty vanilla virtualenv + requirements.txt files, and docker for packaging (great for c libs that my python packages call down to).
And that they didn't bother to compress to save on bandwidth.

To me that's the kicker. There's only a 100 year or so window during which you can catch a civilization's transmissions un-encrypted and un-compressed. After that it might as well be noise.

I know most of the 5- and 6-letter anagrams from years of doing the Jumble puzzle every day. And I'm good at Scrabble, but not "competitive" good.
OK, but that's like saying "nobody goes to Times Square anymore. It's too crowded".

If there was more public transportation, the problems you bring up about personal space would go away.
They don't have to make counterfeits to meet that goal though. For example, there are USB to serial chips like the ch340 that are genuine, but still cheap.
According to the DOT, a train is only about 33% more energy efficient then driving.[1]

In addition a subway or bus system has to run on a schedule even when the train is mostly empty. The train and bus is always starting and stopping and causing all it's passengers increased delay to serve the needs of the few entering or leaving.

Public transport is the token ring networking of transportation. It's just inherently less efficient compared to a P2P routing system that only operates when there is a need and with the minimum number of stops (which is exactly 1).

The difference is that this problem was created by humans in the first place - the oysters supposidely escaped from farms.
I believe this is called POP3.
Probably because it's pretty bleeding edge.

Google Cloud Endpoints, which released earlier in the year, allows you to write a gRPC server, and offers the HTTP proxy as part of the service.

The ecosystem still isn't quite there though. It could be easier to just write a thin webserver that just points at services over tcp (using something like ZeroMQ) rather than writing a service with gRPC from the ground up.
I'm hearing you.

The part that slays me is we have so much useful work that needs doing, excess capital for want of high quality investments, and people demanding purposeful jobs.

The opportunities are insurmountable.
Sure, but you can't make that call when you have no real clue what the actual idea is or have the full details.
Good input. Can you tell me more about the Facebook Meme pages? I mean I can guess, but are those really places to hangout?

Seems like people moving to that defeats the anonymity aspect that people think were the real killer.

Agreed.

I must be getting old and grumpy, but I really am tired of learning 'new' frameworks and ideas unless they actually provide some sort of benefit.

For example, I started using Docker here and there. There's a bit of a learning curve and I initially thought 'how is this all that much different than running a VM or two?' Only later, when a single docker compose file set me up with a full CMS, DB, NGINX, etc. stack did I understand just how cool it was.

To compare, I've spent a few years now on various projects where the front-end guys have added all sorts of bloat - bower, then grunt, gulp, Angular, React, Browserify, JSPM, onto Webpack. Hell, it looks like npm is now being replaced by Yarn - WTF?

And the vast majority of this crap is absolutely no better for the user than the old school MVC server side template apps+JQuery that worked for years.

Net neutrality has many benefits for customers.

Net neutrality has no detriments for customers.

Net neutrality is what we are talking about here.

When we conflate "all regulation" with "one regulation", we disregard any meaningful conversation about the "one regulation" with a mess of argument over "all regulation".

Please, help us stop doing that.

If you want to talk about any of the other regulations, I would love to have a conversation about them. Just be specific, please.
> …it's that it has a terrible ecosystem…

Two follow-ups if you don't mind: (1) "terrible" in what kinds of ways, and (2) compared to what, specifically? (Genuinely curious.)
Not sure I agree with you. I'd expect most of the users of this site would actually do a pretty good job identifying risks. The delusional part is probably assuming Elon Musk hasn't already thought through these risks, along with plenty more we aren't thinking of.

I feel like that is missing the point. You need social engineering (and probably not an easy case) to get people to change the keys. Using a pre-made image that allows you to bypass secure boot by way of a windows driver with a known vuln is practically free as soon as anyone packages it. I don't know whether that is currently being done, but I suspect it since I have seen people discussing bypassing PatchGuard in Windows 10 where they used a known exploit in a driver from a company that starts with n and ends with vidia.
> Imagine what'd be if every single road and water pipe was ran by private company for profit without oversight.

Around here the highways are owned by the government and maintenance is contracted out. But there is one toll highway that the government "sold" (99 year lease) to a private company. And the costs to use it have been increasing constantly.
> However, boring through rock is the most expensive way to connect 2 places.

For now. I think that's the whole point of this company. Reduce cost and risk of drilling just like SpaceX's goal is to reduce cost and risk of space flight.
The concept you should have a moral right over something you did not create (ie a canal) that can reduce thousands of miles on ships journeys over the open ocean is fucking bullshit and goes against​ international law to boot.

I have given up on watching or reading anything that Neil produces. I find him more of a "true believer" than a rational scientist. He may be quite an intelligent man, but I find his arrogance so bad that, even if he has some good ideas, I just discard what he says as rubbish. I put him in the same basket as "alien lizard people are here" believers.

His pop-stardom has lead him down the wrong path and he now appears as silly as the Kardashians.

I have to say it's a typical pattern for rich and connected kids in China to gain success. Top local college => top us college => join GS or whatever similar => trendy founder/CXO/etc. => Now it's their turn to have someone write articles to let ordinary people know they are not just rich, pretty/handsome, well-connected, but also they are super hard working, smart/intelligent, wise to earn their crowns all by themselves. We all know for well-connected in China, there are way more gates open to them. And the stake-holders in the western world can help them open other gates. As I said there is a long history of them doing all this kind of thing. Most people in China with enough experience in that society know that.

It's just a capital-intensive pretend play. They are the players and you have to watch them show off how good they played through mass media and your news feed. If there was an earthquake in that circle, new batch of players would show up.
If you do that then it's super easy to social engineer the company in question. "I don't know what I put for mother's maiden name, I just mashed the keys a lot on that".

> You speak in broad generalizations that miss many points and make many faulty assumptions.

Absolutely. Let's be specific.

> Without those government inspectors good luck knowing if that vendor that showed up yesterday is actually serving chicken and not something that tastes like chicken.

That assumes everyone cares if the cheap tasty food is actually chicken. It also has the assumption that without the government, there would be a dangerous outbreak of cholera.

With regulation, we need to talk about specific instances, and what the positive and negative effects of that instance are.

I think you are in violent agreement with the parent post: "ability to remove people ... with little repercussion" literally means: they (authorities) can order people move, and it costs them (authorities) little or nothing at all.

It costs the moved people a great deal, but the government doesn't care.

Perl was the first programming language I learned. I spent about 2 years writing programs in it and studying it exclusively. Nowadays I don't use it at all. However, if I had chosen another language first then I never would have read Higher Order Perl -- truly one of the most brain-wrinkle-inducing books I've ever read, and loaded with examples of beautiful code (in Perl, no less!). Can't recommend it enough.

If I recall, this whole idea started as a result of traffic on the 405 or something.

This idea is only useful if it could deliver traffic volumes at meaninful percentage of the current 405 throughput.

wikipedia says "The freeway's annual average daily traffic between exits 21 and 22 in Seal Beach reached 374,000 in 2008" .

So how many car elevators to do 10% of that? How many car elevators to move 37,000 vehicles per day? Assuming a 1 minute cycle time, that would be 25 elevators running 24/7 evenly, with no rush hour (obvious unrealistic).

I think it is a scale problem, much like 3D printers won't upset the economics of high speed injection molding anytime soon.

Sharing is socialism/communism/someother"bad"ism these days. It must be all about the invisible hand, the less intervention the better. Basically I see it as a bunch of greedy nuts who believe in things like low taxes, and only wince at overt things like primogeniture and unequal pay but then they pretty much do a "tee hee" and accept both because they benefit.

It's somewhere in the vicinity of neo-feudalism + neo-aristocracy + prosperity theology. It's an abomination.

I will gladly vote for trains because it takes people off the roads and reduces traffic which makes it easier for me to drive to and from work.
The U.S. is not simply progressing into the depths of right-wing extremism, its extremism on both sides. If you watch Fox News, the administration and the republicans can do no wrong. Change the channel to MSNBC or CNN and the president can't do a damn thing right and all republicans are morons.
A well managed train system can manage 1 car per line per 5 minutes. 2000 * 60 / 5 = 24,000 people per hour. Highways can handle 2,000 - 2200 vehicles per lane or so at the low end 1/12 but that's very much an edge case. Most lines are closer to one train every 20 minutes and you can average 3 people per car which makes them equivalent.

The real issue is not highways, but what happens when people try and get off or onto them. It's possible but rare to do this well.
I thought this may have been NIROSETI but it isn't I wonder how NIROSETI is doing they search by looking at near infrared signals.

Here is what they do:
>Near-infrared Optical SETI (NIROSETI) has the advantage that light at infrared wavelengths is less affected by interstellar gas and dust; an infrared signal can be seen at greater distances than an optical signal at shorter wavelengths. Also, it takes less energy to send the same amount of information with an infrared signal than at shorter, optical wavelengths.
Demand for Caltrain is standing room only during rush hour, with 33% of traffic living in Palo Alto and working in SF.

Caltrain has two primary constraints, neither population-linked: diesel trains accelerate badly, and freight track scheduling.

Diesel trains are theoretically being swapped for electric, which will permit the trains to stop and start more efficiently. They predict one additional train during peak rush hour per day for this improvement, iirc.

Freight traffic consumes a fixed amount of rail time, focused primarily on the "one hour between" segments of the schedule. Increasing frequency can only occur within existing scheduled route times, and cannot disrupt that freight traffic.
"...vast majority of this crap is absolutely no better..."

Recurring amnesia.

It's because the industry (number of programmers) is grower faster than the rate of diffusion of knowledge (experience).

Also, easier communication mediums has greatly increased the noise to signal ratio. So maintaining our BS filters requires that much more effort.

Well, we know that even if humanity vanished overnight, carbon dioxide driven warming will continue, just because of the time taken to remove co2 from the atmosphere.

We have increasingly better ideas of how the world will look like...and if we have ranges then we have an idea of how sensitive climate is to carbon.

All of which directly point to the fact that the world will warm, and it's a question of how fast. The question of how long this will go on, is beyond science because it's a political question - warming will stop years after we stop adding to the heat cycle.

I'm also a bit confused as to how you say "we don't know what the earth at +5 looks like", because countries (other than America) are already deploying resources to manage migration and movement, we know other countries and islands will disappear with sea level rises. I know my country has been grappling with water scarcity issues, and people don't argue about global warming, the same way they don't argue about evolution.

Matter of fact the only major country I know which actively engages and exports denialism is America. India and China are fighting for economic stability, but no one doubts that this is a crisis that has to be solved.

I'm confuxsed by your question, as most of these are answered to some degree or the other on the net or on Reddit. You could just head to a r/science climate AMA and get your answers.

Ask HN: CEO stole code from Google to build a startup. What should I do?
I work at a startup building what is similar to a famous Google SaaS product, but localised for the China market where Google service is banned by the government. The startup was founded by a former Google engineer. He claims to have single-handedly writen the original software before raising VC money to build a team. I was super impressed by our CEO's technical talent and icnredible productivity. But we junior engineers are kept away from the main code, which can only be used as a compiled library. I was curious to learn from the core, so I managed to get accesse to its source recently. From the git history, I was surprised to find many files with Google's copyright notice and authorship annotations!

Proof of stolen code:
https://pastebin.com/Q1RG1A2Y
https://pastebin.com/6b1YDtBQ
https://pastebin.com/BVMzycBE

Should I confront our CEO?
Should I contact the press?
Should I inform our investors?
Should I get in touch with Google? (Will they even care? We're not Uber. We are a tiny startup in a market they chose not to enter.)
Should I just look for another job?

What should I do? What are your thoughts? I really need guidance, thanks!

And to be clear, the article is talking about that last kind. I think its terminology is rather off: I'd consider a "clone" to be something built to be similar, maybe compatible, but clearly marketed as its own thing, and the subject of the article would be "counterfeits." But for some reason they're using "clones" to describe stuff that's passed off as the original.
Might be interesting to give bonus points to pairs of words with origins far apart on the linguistic taxonomy.
All of those things are true. As a 3p seller you have total control.
Arduino is an example of open hardware. You can't sell a branded Arduino clone, but you are perfectly entitled take the schematic, build a clone board and sell it for peanuts. Fake FTDI is more of a problem because of the recent debacle where the drivers wouldn't work with counterfeit chips.

I've often had Sparkfun boards fabbed via Oshpark, rather than buy and pay for expensive shipping from the States.
Now I think there are probably way many more rare earths. Like neodymium from headphones and the odd USB device tossed directly into the garbage.

Gold is an obvious target, but there are probably larger quantities of other valuable metals to be had from recently accumulated trash.
The problem stated here isn't "public transit has insufficient ridership," it's "some people don't want to use public transit."

When the problem you're trying to solve is "some people aren't in Times Square right now," you might need to engage with the fact that it's crowded.

More public transportation, sure, and I'll vote for it every time.

Less car infrastructure, and there is no pressure for public transportation to be comfortable or effective because the only way to opt out of it is to move away.
It took over my campus. It replaced several twitter accounts that were specific to my school where people would DM the twitter account and then they'd post it. It used to be the first thing I checked when something happened on campus (accident, event going on, wifi goes out, etc). People went crazy for YikYak and then they added required handles and removed being able to post on/read your university's feed when you left campus. It took them way too long to change it back and people moved on.
