well assuming you have something to demonstrate the value you are trying to provide for that $50k ramp, you should be putting time into attracting organic (non-paid) interest in your product from people who suffer from the problem you are trying to solve. You may need to also be searching for a technical or marketing co-founder depending on your skill set.
RepSpark | Software Developer | Irvine, CA | Full-time, ONSITE

We’re a casual, twelve-person software development team based in Orange County, CA (south of Los Angeles). We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows. This enables sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (e.g. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Disney apparel ends up in Walmart). We are a private Amazon for brands and retailers.

Our stack includes C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, TypeScript, IIS, and Git (https://stackshare.io/repspark/repspark).

Please email hn@repspark.com with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!
I'm assuming that similar arrangements can be made to what local growing co-ops have made: If you are making land arable in the far future, you should not incur costs for land.
a suprisingly self-aware and perceptive piece from a member of the media "digestive tract" that produces this problem day in and day out.

I think this sheds too much blame away from major news media outlets, whose whole job _should have_ been to fact check the stories they hear on the "ground" (twitter). But it assesses twitter's role correctly.

The piece I think people forget is that twitter has absolutely no financial interest in solving the "misinformation" problem. Fake news drives engagement. People like and retweet everything, regardless of if its true. Twitter is a key tool for the media (and I suspect that's where the vast majority of its value comes from). It's at the centerpiece of the news cycle now. Twitter is great for short, digestible snippets and one-liners that the media (and fake news) thrives on. At every level, they are incentivized to drive "engagement" and this can mean at the cost of truth.

Nothing will change (significantly) until twitters bottom line (user engagement as a proxy for ad money) changes.

Congrats to Maciej, I think! What a cool piece of internet history, and a storied brand, to have within your stable.
I wonder how much he paid for it. Last I heard he was making something like 250k per year. I would expect delicious to go for a few million at least. Did he buy it for a song, or did he get investors or funding?

Live Stream: Unikernels with OTA Updates: IncludeOS and Mender on June 29th
No, open source does not prevent anything. There is just more transparency.

Any self hosting would need to be fully connected with automated update notifications from the "crowd" of contributors and reviewers.

I guess, it becomes a managed service at that point (since as you point out it should have reliable and secure production characteristics which does require a high level of competency). I am imagining a cloud of one for my passwords (a stateless, secure container, with disabled user access to the OS and which connects to an encrypted simple file store to keep my small sized but precious passwords).
> Factoring an array of structures into a structure of arrays and accessing linearly, e.g., makes better use of the processor cache and saturates throughput.

This is an example of a provably correct optimization, and it's a shame that more compilers do not optimize this situation. Wouldn't it be awesome to model the data the way that makes sense for your domain and let the compiler worry about cache locality?

Great veritasium video about this latest wave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVKO7UCIlgs

What is involved with increasing sensitivity I wonder? Is it purely lengthening the arms? or are there other advancements required?

Hopefully one day we can have these things in space, isolated from noise and curvature of the earth and no need for vacuum equipment.

> To me his proposed syntax looks like the exact contrary use case: pattern-match on something that's a reference.

Yes, &s in a pattern is already valid and captures a "dereference" by value. While ref captures a value match by reference.
The hurdles are ALL self inflicted. They have carved up the most vile contracts on regional content instead of global, time length, it's all a god awful self inflicted head wound.

They have literally allowed legally contracting themselves into a six foot grave.
In the end it's an hen and egg problem -- you need widespread adoption of the hardware to get software ported, but also widespread porting of the software to get the hardware adopted.
And intel/amd will fight hard. As long as they can instill v fear that maybe the program I'm using, or the one I want to use next week/month/year won't run, people will flog to x86. It doesn't matter so much how real that problem is, it only needs to be perceived as a problem.
The coup de grace.
Why did the parent post get flagged? I thought it was creative. Now I want to read it again!
Renting out your own apartments to strangers was arguably a "worse" idea than some airbed concept. The whole point is you never know, no one knows what catches until it happens.
I've been wanting this as well. I don't have a Facebook account so I rely on talking to close friends/coworkers in person but it's definitely lacking.
Poor Delicious. They were a victim of web 2.0. Much like Digg.

Delicious vs Pinboard was basically Digg vs Reddit.

The one who focused on the basic core usecase over flashy features and modern/trendy design won.
Hacker News: helping all of us be fun at parties, since always.
I'm torn. On one hand, a couple years ago when delicious went down for over a week, I paid for an account at pinboard and haven't regretted it one bit. On the other hand, it is sad to see such an old brand mismanaged and unable to survive on its own. I have hope that it is in good hands though.
I think it depends on your learning style & what you want to learn. http://jsbooks.revolunet.com/ is a great resource for free books.

If you want to learn concepts, You Don't Know JS by Kyle Simpson is great.

If you want to learn by doing, I would look away from books & more towards video based learning. It seems to have richer content in this style. Pluralsight, Frontend Masters, Egghead & Code School are all great. They also target different niches. If you're a complete beginner I suggest Code School. It does the best out of those at telling you where to start & what to learn next.
thanks for doing this

two questions: from the perspective of a Scala dev, does Rust have a solid collections library (including persistent structures such as Scala's Vector type) with mutable counterparts (eg, ListBuffer)?

second, from a quick glance it seems Rust's top-level concurrency model (locks, thread ownership) is the polar opposite of Scala's (Actor-based)--is this correct? Scala's concurrency model (based on Erlang), along with trait-based multiple inheritance, were Scala's initial selling points for me

Further, it doesn't help with the required restructuring; when the functionality is scattered across a dozen or more modules (complex software + good Python practice), then you first have to pull the functionality needed for the path you're trying to get fast together. That leads to duplication, removing abstractions and most certainly vetoes from other people.

Note that Traits are a system for generics specifically. You can have useful OO without generics (C++ is useful without templates, go does't have them at all).

We don't have systematic censorship like China does, by any means, but we do choose not to teach and write down certain things, and so they end up nearly forgotten. The Tulsa race riot was excised from official histories, never talked about, and so it faded into a little-known episode of history, until activists brought it to wider attention at the end of the 20th century.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_riot

> the city settled into an uneasy peace, and decades of virtual silence about the events were held. It was not recognized in the Tulsa Tribune feature of "Fifteen Years Ago Today" or "Twenty-five Years Ago Today"... The first academic account was a master's thesis written in 1946 by Loren L. Gill, a veteran of World War II. But it did not then receive circulation beyond the University of Tulsa... [In 1996] the chamber of commerce decided to commemorate the riot, but when they read the account and saw photos gathered by Ed Wheeler... they refused to publish it. He took it to both major newspapers, which refused to handle it. His article was finally published in Impact Magazine, a new publication aimed at a black audience, but most of white Tulsa never knew about it."
Keep in mind that when LIGO was built at tremendous expense, gravitational waves were never conclusively detected, and just to get to this sensitivity it was a feat of engineering. It was unknown how long it would be or if they would ever detect a wave.

Just detecting the initial wave was one of the most important measurements in the history of physics. Now that we know that gravitational waves exist, and can give us great insight into the mysteries of the universe, there will be more efforts to detect waves at smaller amplitudes and different frequencies. That is one reason the eLISA project is going on [1].

I hope you don't. I've been depressed in the past as well and had been contemplating killing myself. I became very depressed after my parents and sister died in a car accident.

Eventually my remaining brothers and sister convinced me to visit a shrink. And now I have a very positive outlook on life and overall am very happy.

I hope you consider the same. Or ask people to help you arrange a meeting with a shrink.

I don't work for businesses that are primarily military contractors or work for the "intelligence community." And there's a bunch of other jobs I won't take because I feel they don't provide enough social value, but that's a more idiosyncratic and less well-defined set of constraints.

By the time pinboard was popular delicious was effectively dead. It was delicious that changed, Pinboard basically just took the interface and features it abandoned. They never really competed directly like Reddit and Digg.
You can use filebot to name your files correctly for you, if thats an issue. I have it run as a postprocess hook in rtorrent.
These things take a massive amount of energy to run, so you would need to build the clean energy infrastructure anyway.

At a rough estimate it takes about as much energy to pull CO2 from the air as you get from burning it in the first place. So, your also mining coal, building a power plant to run an extractor for ~zero net gain.

> Whatever that number was about, it was pretty clear that 90% was not the right number

Was it? Maybe 90% didn't match up with your intuition, but NYT wasn't making that number up out of whole cloth. That's what the polls were saying, as analyzed by the NYT polling staff.

Maybe they were wrong (maybe they weren't-- things that have a 10% chance of happening happen all the time), but you certainly haven't demonstrated, or even really attempted to demonstrate, bias. All you've really said is:

* Trump won

* Your intuition told you he had a greater than 10% chance of winning before election day

> throughout the entire election cycle the narrative was NYT vs. Trump. News organizations and journalists should report stories but should not become the story.

It's important to remember that this narrative largely came (and continues to come) from Trump, and he benefited greatly from it.
It's not that it's open it is that all the steps are seen and can be repeated. Excel is just manual labor without seeing how the person took the raw data and got to their conclusion.

Because profiling is profoundly counterproductive. The vast majority of passengers are not interested in murder or mayhem, and will report suspicious behavior. If you antagonize one class of people, you reduce their willingness, as a group, to cooperate with authorities.

Also, because terrorists are rare and are not exclusively members of any one profile, you are more likely to miss one if you shift focus onto one group in particular.

I honestly didn't realize delicious was still around. It felt really groundbreaking at the time. I loved the ability to tag and search for links by tags to find new interesting content. Perhaps with introduction news mashups like digg it didn't feel as useful anymore. I stopped using delicious soon after it was acquired by yahoo.

Site has been bounced around a bit since.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website)

"The site was founded by Joshua Schachter and Peter Gadjokov in 2003 and acquired by Yahoo in 2005. By the end of 2008, the service claimed more than 5.3 million users and 180 million unique bookmarked URLs.[2][3][4] Yahoo sold Delicious to AVOS Systems in April 2011,[5] and the site relaunched in a "back to beta" state on September 27 that year.[6] In May 2014, AVOS sold the site to Science Inc.[7] In January 2016 Delicious Media, a new alliance, reported it had assumed control of the service.[8]"

As an Australian living in the US, I noticed that difference too, in addition to some others.

The staff didn't seem nearly as miserable (I was one of them for a while) or apathetic in Australian restaurants. I noticed when I went back that the food wasn't nearly as greasy in Australia (I've actually noticed that about meat in general, US meat tends to seem greasier for some reason) and it usually seemed prepared with a little more care (the burgers weren't falling apart for example). Also the restaurants were consistently cleaner, better maintained and more up-to-date than their US counterparts.
