I don't know. Much of the reason I keep Facebook at all is because I share photos with family and friends.... what they're talking about right now (Google Photos) pretty much solves that problem without my friends/family just needing a phone.... which means I don't really need Facebook for the one reason I've kept it.
Yes, but that wasn't GPs line of reasoning. Even if it doesn't apply in this case it's valid criticism that you can't just attribute to hindsight.
How would this be done, exactly? It would be horrible to find out that fulfilling the wishes of your friend (or vice versa) results in murder charges.
They time-multiplex the two planes (switching the displays on and off quickly). Amazingly, the brain interprets it as a 3rd, or 4th, or 5th, plane!

Yeah, a guy with 80 billion dollars whose company totally denatured a blue collar Boeing engineering city into a city with the top 10% living like kings, brutal real estate situation, bad traffic and transit , no middle class anymore - everything costs too much from housing to tuition. And this guy with 80 billion will put up 200 of the down trodden per night. Yeah, lip service.

I agree with Nick - Nick Hanauer www politico com magazine story 2014 06 the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014 .

The hero worship and the billionaire worship has to stop. And above all Amazon does not create anything of value. They are middle men. And whatever they touch they destroy. Small businesses. POOF, predatory pricing. Walmart, done (Amazon is so bad it makes walmart look like a good guy that hires people in real stores). Sears, gone. And with compute? sure, its cheap, its utility, and margins on hardware, near zero. But if you instantiate an amazon instance for 1 second, oh, you are getting that bill even if the IOPs are trash and it takes 20 minutes to boot.

Make no mistake Bezos is not a "good guy" he is a maniac and a megalomaniac. When he finally manages to get your job (or you manage to finagle a high stress job at Scamazon) youll sing to a different tune.
That's not really the point that's being argued though. Modern cars are undeniably better in terms of how long they last, but you can't go in and just repair all the pieces any more like you could with old cars. That is the point being discussed here

VCs’ Conversations: How Differently They Talk About Female Entrepreneurs
There is a way for the remaining founders to get exactly what they want. It's called "recapping".

Let's say that there are 30M shares now, and you each have 10M shares.

They can take that $500K and make it on a pre-money of $100K. That would mean the price per share was $100K / 30M = $0.0033 per share.

With $500K coming in, there are $500K / $0.0033 pps = 150,000,000 new shares.

Now there are 180M shares total, and each of you owns 1/18th.

Then the remaining founders can get a new grant to get around 75% of the company. The math to reach target percentage P with S shares is P * S / (1 - P). In this case, the remaining founders would each get 270M new shares.

The total number of shares would be 180M + 270M + 270M = 720M.

Let's look at ownership percentage now:

- Investor = 150M / 720M = 20%
- Founder 1 = 280M / 720M = 20% = 38.9%
- Founder 2 = 280M / 720M = 20% = 38.9%
- You = 10M / 720M = 1.4%

Another side to this is liability. The remaining founders and investors don't want a lawsuit. Then again, you aren't staying with the company, and investors will be reasonably wary of investing in a company with so much stock "wasted" on people no longer contributing.

The founders get get all this done and in agreement with the investor BEFORE the round closes. They should also talk to a lawyer, because I'm just someone from the internet :)

Generally on the right track, but ham handed in delivery.

If you really want to engage such ideas in public effectively, it helps to up your game in terms of framing. People tend to be unforgiving and will tend to remember what they thought you meant and will tend to not give you a second chance to clarify. There are a number of people on HN who are quick to vilify people as presumed MRAs etc. Due in part to the generally high education levels here, it is a tough crowd.

Best.
Yeah, sadly, that's a common problem in software development. People often use technologies on projects because their resume needs them, not because the project benefits from them.

I wonder what our technology choices would look like if this weren't the case. In other words, suppose someone said to you "you'll be responsible for these software applications for the next 10 years" vs "you'll need to find a new job every 2-3 years for the next 10 years." Would we adopt and apply new technologies this aggressively? Would we be changing javascript frameworks constantly? Would we necessarily be using them at all, vs a wait and see approach? (btw, yes, depending on the project sometimes we would use them, but my guess is that we would far less often).

It's happened a bunch of times in my career by now. Currently, I think our huge over-application of technology is in the realm of constantly evolving front end javascript frameworks. I still believe, firmly, that most smallish apps would be better handled through an integrated framework like rails or Django, with a bit of judiciously applied javascript when necessary. Or, perhaps, even no framework at all.

But unfortunately, that doesn't get you jobs. Almost all the rails jobs out there now require expertise in Ember, React, etc. So the truth is, it's rational to add these things to your current rails project even if you don't think the trade-off is quite worth it.

Just to be clear, yeah, sometimes it is worth it. I look at it this way - for a while there, most land animals had exoskeletons, even some fairly large ones. Then, endoskeletons came along, and it turned out that to scale up to be a giant land animal, you needed an endoskeleton. Some of the larger animals with exoskeletons started to go extinct, as the more scalable endoskeletons drove them out of their ecological niches.

Here's the part that they don't cover on the nature channel - recruiters started to ask giant centipedes if they had any experience with endoskeleton. Senior architects and technology directs started insisting that fleas, ticks, and flying gnats have endoskeletons, because they attended a conference that told them that if you want to to wooly mammoth size, you need endoskeleton.

Meanwhile, the creators of endoskeleton frameworks are (rightly) all like, "Don't put this on me, I never said a gnat should have an endoskeleton".

Oh as for machine learning... yeah, I suppose there may be some use of spark, map reduce, Hadoop, and so forth that exists to gain experience with these technologies rather than because they're needed. That definitely happened with some of the noSql stuff. But honestly, the unnecessary churn on the back end/data science side pales in comparison to what happens out there in the web world.

I've got more than 5 years of experience with Django on a number of teams and at a couple of companies and in my experience almost everything in this article is completely incorrect.

The only things I would agree with is the point about project layout and avoiding django's squashmigrations for the truncate the migrations table, delete the migrations, and create a new initial migration.

Practically everything else in this article is wrong, in my opinion.

> Of course, SeaWorld is notorious for terrible conditions for the animals.

I'm sure this is going to be a very unpopular comment here, but for the sake of a different perspective... Every time I see this sentiment, it tends to come from fans of Blackfish. I watched that "documentary", which was very cherry-picked to push a biased perspective. I've also lived near a SeaWorld and have noticed, first-hand, the conservation they do of the environment and cetacean life.

Yes, SeaWorld is for-profit, while many zoos are non-profit, but they do make some meaningful effort to help out.

I can't say whether China will be a better steward, but I want to point out that the United States was very much like this 100 to 150 years ago, when it was rapidly industrializing. Its free speech and judicial record was generally better, but in World War I, people were jailed without trial simply for speaking out against the war.

I suspect that 100 years from now, things will be different for China. Cheap wages will have gone away, manufacturing will be outsourced to places like the Phillipines or Africa, people will be wealthy enough to care about things besides money, particularly the environment. The authoritarian government and the class of ultra-wealthy may or may not still be there, but what China is going through looks a lot like what the US and european countries were experiencing during their industrialization phases.

One interesting difference is that China so far hasn't shown much interest in politically and militarily dominating other parts of the world. So far, it seems to be interested in dominating the east Asia region. I wonder if that will remain so, or if China will eventually be interested in getting involved in other parts of the world in non-economic ways. China is very involved in the African economy, so that could very well progress to Chinese puppet states in Africa if their economic interest is great enough.

JFYI it is a rather common contract in Italy too, besides France, basically "full" property is divided into two parts:

1) "Nuda proprietà" (literally "Naked Property" but actually "bare ownership")

2) "Usufrutto" (usufruct or "life interest")

Selling the bare ownership is a rather convenient way to monetize your house when you are old and need some money (for medical expenses or whatever), while retaining the usufruct, which resolves usually to the right to live in it (but could be also be pocketing the income from renting the building).
The buyer of the bare ownership, on the other hand, pays in advance a (reduced) amount of money for the asset, but essentially "bets" on how soon it will become available.

It is often used also to reduce the amount of taxes payed to the state by the (future) heirs.

It isn't really applicable to the US, mainly for taxation reasons:

The above article includes a French table of the percentages attributed to the two parts and here are the same valid in Italy (they are not much different):

I think what would make ethbro more confident, and myself as well, was if there was a way to pay that included a contract ensuring my data could not be used in certain ways without my express permission.

To clarify, I don't worry about the Google of today, I worry about the Google a decade from now, or even worse, the company that buys a chunk of it down the line that feels no such compunctions about using that data however they see fit. A legal contract would go a long ways towards preventing this possibility.

I've never understood the drive toward some notion of commercial-free purity the gaming world seems to embody. Is it due to the heavy teenage boy presence that underlies so many other unsavory aspects?

If the governments claim they have authority to search your phone, then the only solution is not to store things on your phone during those border activities. Any system for denial of access will simply be considered obstruction.

So technical solutions would simply be to have a backup somewhere, with no trace of the backup software on the device itself. Get to where you're going, go to the website, or download the app, or plug it into another computer, and restore your data from the internet via access codes you have memorized. Or simply travel with a device dedicated for travel, and not your personal goings on.

But obviously, technical solutions don't solve the root poison, which is government destruction of rights and social health in the name of "protecting our rights and society from terrorists".

Look at the flipside - for the people who want to focus on applications of ML instead of futzing with platforms and implementations this sort of environment is a godsend.

I would suggest specifying titles as html, not plain text. I've seen too many things titled "I <i>love</i> science!" over the years to believe in the idea that titles are plain text.

Also, despite the fact this is technically not the responsibility of the spec itself, I would strongly suggest some words on the implications of the fact that the HTML fields are indeed HTML and the wisdom of passing them through some sort of HTML filter before displaying them.

In fact that's also part of why I suggest going ahead and letting titles contain HTML. All HTML is going to need to be filtered anyhow, and it's OK for clients to filter titles to a smaller valid tag list, or even filter out all tags. Suggesting (but not mandating) a very basic list of tags for that field might be a good compromise.
