In order to fight that bias, a startup would need to turn down a check from a big VC name (Sequoia, a16z, KPCB, Benchmark) and choose crowdfunding.

Until that happens, the implicit assumptions is that the startup tried shopping itself around to first-tier VCs and angels, failed, tried to go to second-tier VCs and angels, failed, so crowdfunding is their last resort.

Alternatively, a crowdfunded startup scorned by VCs needs to make a really nice exit or achieve a very impressive unicorn valuation.
The Swedish prosecutor has said that they hoped to get a sample of Assange's DNA during the interview, but since it was carried out by a prosecutor from Ecuador that seems unlikely and I haven't seen anything about them getting it.

They can go up just about any grade without slowing down, though (unless you're talking about "slowing down" from some speed near the limit of the car's performance and transitioning to a steep grade, I guess).

Given the CVT and the soft suspension and brakes designed for being a mild-mannered passenger car, it'd be a little goofy to make an option for a much more powerful Corolla. You'd end up with something not a lot of fun to drive, or a completely different car.

The list of 6-second cars is pretty long. One that stands out is the 2017 Buick LaCrosse at 6.0 seconds and is currently selling in the $28k range (there are some amazing deals out there at present). Again, family sedan. With numbers that 20 years ago would have been "race car numbers".

That Buick beats the time of the 1996 Saleen S281 Mustang.

I think Google is very much thinks that if you start paying, you might eventually look for alternatives. And that'd lead to a pricing war. And so on.

And, more importantly, if they roll out a new service and you start using it, you'll immediately start thinking about the cost of using it. Or people will start to "demand" more for their money. (Things like support.)

True. But then question is whether money saved by offering the lower pay is worth the additional productivity brought in by new employee or not. If it is not then it is fair to say there is a shortage of people in Tech industry.

A better comparison would be to

Alternatively, just write software in a Lisp variant (with good macros, clojure is quite meh here) or Ocaml or Haskell.

These languages put you at the level of writing a language for each problem domain immediately and with a comprehensive and useful toolkit. These languages also do this while directly competing with all but the most carefully tuned of C++/C environments. Steel Bank Common Lisp and the Glasgow Haskell Compiler are good references here.

These languages are often considered strange because of this, and feel somewhat alien. But once you realize you're building a language to model your problems, suddenly tons of stuff makes more sense. Previously alien concepts like Macros and Monads are outside the typical language's experience precisely because the language authors created these contexts and put you inside them.

This article is sort of fundamentally wrong that it's difficult to write small, purpose built languages. It's not, and even outside the functional and homoiconic meta-syntactic world we have seen code generators deployed regularly. Successful products and libraries are build using these techniques all the time, and with a modern toolchain it delivers excellent results. It's just that other more restricted and guided approaches are often introduced earlier in people's learning curve and sets the expectations for them subsequently.
Threema predates the Signal protocol.

There is an open source re-implementation of the Threema protocol obtained by reverse engineering: https://github.com/blizzard4591/openMittsu There is also an (incomplete) implementation in Go: https://github.com/o3ma/o3/ Note that Threema does not disallow reverse engineering in their terms of service.

The fact that OpenMittsu can properly encrypt and decrypt messages that are compatible with the Threema apps should be proof that the implementation is correct. Also, since Threema is financed by selling the app with no external investors, there should be more incentive to stick to their promises than to cheat on their privacy-sensitive users.

And even if the apps and the server were open source, unfortunately it would still not be possible to verify that the version on Google Play / iTunes is the same as the published source code. I'm not aware of a way to create reproducible builds on these app stores either.

None of those reasons are exclusive to crowdfunding, though. I get that there are few good investment opportunities and a lot of cruft, but I wouldn't list the same reasons. For me the biggest issue is vision: All startups hope are chasing money, but some are chasing it to the exclusion of everything else. They don't see a different future, a better future; they simply see themselves richer. Funding such startups isn't even altruistic. The opposite, it's enabling a broken culture.

You can disable a Google Home device just as easily, and the rest of your comment is just you declaring by fiat that phones are OK because you personally find them useful, and the home devices are bad because you personally don't find them useful.

If someone finds their home device to be "more than a dumb box" and doesn't want to remove it from their life, you're at an impasse. No one granted you the authority to just decide where everyone else gets to draw their own personal line.

Honestly you can take the $10k+ difference and donate it to charity or save it up for your kid's college, if you have children. $10k can buy malaria nets for 4000 kids in Africa, if you donate to some place like Against Malaria Foundation.

Personally, I am also against using any non-economic arguments in choosing cars, unless you are really rich and the difference is only a drop in the bucket.

I thought it would be this way too. But I do actually try to help out with funding as much as I can.

Ultimately, though, I'm afraid I can't summon too much sympathy for a PI who thinks this way, because they knew exactly what they were getting into when they accepted that promotion. It is common knowledge that the tradeoff you make upon becoming PI is that you get the authority to direct the research aims while sacrificing the ability to do them yourself.

Exaggerating somewhat, a PI gets 100% of the intellectual freedom and responsibility, and has 0% of the fun. A grad student or postdoc gets 0% and 100%. I was looking for something like 50%/50%.
There’s plenty of nice XMPP clients for desktop, though. I do agree, however, that there is a void to be filled by an XMPP client with good discovery.

The latency and battery problems everyone was blaming are solved now. The missing piece is this:

A way to provide XMPP service for any address, in particular gmail addresses, without both touching any DNS config and without any support from whoever controls the domain (RIP Google Talk).

Basically from UX perspective:

1) User downloads an app (mobile or desktop).

2) User confirms email address via either email confirmation (it’s good enough for SSL, so…) or OAuth flow

3) That’s it.

4) Bonus: For OAuth flow user has prepopulated address book.

Behind the scenes at step 2 a unique ID is associated with the email address. Then other clients resolve this via something, DHT, blockchain, whatever.

This introduces some trusted oracle that assists in discovery, but keeps everything else decentralized.

Build this and it can certainly compete with Telegrams of this world.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Keybase can be compatible by itself with email or phone № proofs. Perhaps if they explicitly add support for oracles, that would be cool.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I was thinking of writing a few small apps in C++ on Windows, but may now check out C# for that instead.
If you want speed, use golang ?

Java (and kotlin) are faster than Go in almost all cases (except for startup time) (and even there difference is shrinking, plus you get a lot back for that startup time). C, if you must, is faster still, and C++ can be faster as well.

As a quick (and inaccurate) rule, any program that runs longer than 10-20 seconds will be faster in Java than in Go.
I agree with the revolving door.

The way I see it, the Fed is inflating bubbles by pumping cheap money into the financial sector, and then the US Gov is bailing out the financial sector when the bubbles burst.

It's hard to distinguish between the government and big finance, that's for certain.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the real issue here is that in 2017 (and beyond), the only way/place that you will be able to reach an audience is via these walled-gardens known as Facebook/Twitter/etc.

I disagree (strongly).

Cython is nice to save some typing for generating wrappers. It is a very tough language to work with for actually implementing things that you'd want to do in a low-level language, because it's severely underdocumented and underspecified, but extremely complex at the same time. To actually see whether the code as written is correct, one must almost always cythonize it and dig through the generated, verbose and hard to decipher C code. Both the language and the compiler have a ton of things I'd call bugs, induced by the complexities and mismatches in the type system. E.g. it's awkwardly easy to have Cython call some PyObject function on something that isn't a Python object.

No thank you.

PS: Also avoid using setup.py Extension, including Cython's variant, if you can at all.

(Source: I've been maintaining software containing Cython stuff for some while, written and reviewed quite some of it, too.)

I understand how ML/AI works, and there are great things like collaborative filtering, self-driving whatevers, "expert systems" (IBM Watson), magical image processing (which just shows how much detail our own brains just imagines and fills in for us in non-ideal conditions).

I'm not saying it's not real AI, I'm saying I can't wait for the time when these separate components/models can be "synergized", when one big system can be trained for multiple tasks, and when it can train itself tasks.
Again, selection problem. Most VCs can do a raise on their reputation and not have to deal with quarterly reports; most funds are 5-10 year closed. Great VCs wouldnt want to deal with the hassle of going public and reporting losses every year for five years straight. Also, startup valuations can be....creative.

As the article points out, the biggest danger with this as a NG source is that a lot of methane can escape before you've extracted it, and the methane that escapes is a huge concern as a greenhouse gas.

If the source code to a program, when run through a compressor, results in smaller text, then the original has redundancy.
Someone has to get paid to do that, so now the premise of equity crowdfunding has been reduced to: in the best case, you can crowdfund another venture capital firm, and pay a tax out of your returns that wealthy investors don't have to pay.

And, again: most VCs fail! A lot of money is invested in VCs not in the expectation of those investments being lucrative, but instead in the hopes that VC returns are uncorrelated with the public markets. But no retail investor does that.
I firmly believe alcohol marketing is a major contributor toward alcohol continuing to be one of the most destructive drugs in our society. It's glamorized in a a savvy and well-funded way that puts an incessant haze in our understanding of it as a a powerful, poisonous, and potentially debilitating substance.

You can find billboards that make bottles of liquor look like royal treasure passed down from the gods. It's ultimately poison in a bottle. This kind of glorification of it hurts people who don't have the ability to enjoy it without consequence (i.e. millions of people in the U.S.).

Indeed, the catch-22 is surviving and moving forward as a company when there are potentially little sources of revenue; will the service or product exist at all without VC funding?
