I hate it, but I have fallen into calling the 2000-2009 the 'noughtys' - which I first heard on a radio show in 1999 and thought sounded stupid, but soon stuck for me.

As for the teens... well we are still in them, so yes they are just 'music, art, etc.' in the same way that I don't say: "So I was talking _English_ to a friend today..."
It's worth considering: almost nobody who uses Yubikeys loves them, but they are by a wide margin the tokens experts recommend most.
In any startup, it's crucial that founders have open lines of communication. There are a lot of decisions to be made, frequently under stress and with imperfect information, and you need to be able to communicate to figure things out.

So, I'd say that 1) you need to sit down with your co-founder and talk about things and 2) if this is going to be a long-term thing, you both need to spend a bunch of time upfront talking about your communication styles and commit to open lines of communication.
I loved the OS(even if it did still feel beta quality at times), but that original Pre hardware was just terrible. It felt so fragile and that jelly keyboard was awful.

That's very informative. Thanks, just to be clear I honestly meant my initial post as a question, not as a snarky rhetorical remark.

It's really interesting to know about the history behind something like an obscure tax, and how something like the EP directive to tax carbon emissions gets implemented as adjusting an existing tax with its own historical baggage at a level where it's exactly matching the revenue, but now ostensibly for a different purpose.

Unless the law changes though the tax will de-facto be phased out in the coming years/decades as zero-carbon vehicles get adopted, I wonder if that's something the people who made the change back in 2007/2010 explicitly had in mind or if it's an unintended emergent phenomena. It'll be interesting to see if the tax is allowed to go away or if there'll be another reform to tax luxury vehicles or something like that.

I have a hard time believing this is true in general. I live and work in Austin. When I was interviewing for the job I have here I interviewed at a few companies in SF and received offers at two to do basically the same kind of work I do here. The offers in SF were substantially larger than what I accepted in Austin. After looking at my budget more closely I decided to stay put because after taxes, cost of living changes, etc I found that there wasn't much of a difference and that I'd rather not move.

I understand that this is just a single anecdote but I work with quite a few people who have moved here from SF – and have friends who have made the opposite move – and they have all reported something similar.

>When a new technology matures

I don't believe search is mature. We haven't seen a lot of innovations in web search for a while and what we know as web search is probably the best Google can do. It's probably not the best possible web search though. Just the best from Google.

The reason nobody is there to challenge Google is because noone has come up with a way to fund a web search engine other than through ads. Challenging Google probably also means challenging the whole ad industry. It's a rough climb.
I don't know, looking at http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/11/romeo-juliet-baz... it seemed to me that was talking about quite different fashions 20 years ago.
The term "third rail" comes from underground subway systems where there is a third, electrified rail to provide power to trains. There are usually warnings in the subway not to touch the rail due to the risk of electrocution. "The third rail" is used colloquially to describe a topic that is socially or politically difficult to discuss because of the reactions it can bring up.

In this context, I think the author is describing conversations he had with people who were patient with him as he asked (possibly naive or hurtful) questions about a hot-button and loaded topic that they had more experience with than he did.
> HW

I'm only talking about software.

> legacy constraints

Those "legacy constraints" are often being used. Backwards compatibility is very important, because throwing out decades of development efforts involving millions of man-hours. Supporting legacy interfaces can be annoying and in some situations it gets in the way of newer features, but it's incredibly rare

> ZFS

Nothing needed to be thrown out to implement ZFS. More than one software interface can exist at the same time. ZFS development didn't use some of the features used by traditional filesystems, but it's "rampant layering violations" didn't require the removal of UFS, RAID, or older volume management drivers. The fact that it's always been possible to mount ZFS and older UFS disks at the same time should make this obvious.

The three big challenges I see are how to identify the rock stars, management culture, and time zone. It's possible to overcome all of those, but you'd need significant expertise hiring and managing Indian teams.

The hardest part would be to build a team of true startup hustlers, because the outsourcing industry has not been built around those types of people. Traditionally you have to have very strong top-down management and clear requirements since the mentality on the other end is to do what your told, avoid giving bad news, and maximize billable hours. This is something that large companies with established products can do a lot easier than startups.

In general the reduced execution risk is not worth the cost savings because you don't yet have a business, you are trying to build one. The safer bet for a startup very tight team working hand in glove where every employee is obsessed with the high-level product.
Yeah and compromises/disagreements sometimes mean the difference between barking up the wrong tree and seeing the flaws in your own argument.
At any rate, wordpress.com is not on the public suffix list either, so that doesn't appear to be the issue here.
I don't buy the dichotomy between work and life, and maybe those ideas should be thrown out altogether. The whole notion of 'work' is flawed.
People who crusade for diversity and inclusion usually start with innocuous measures, but after these approaches fail to bring about Utopia, these people always end up crudely 1) attempting to destroy any fun the workplace, and 2) imposing a limit on how much strong contributors can contribute. The end state for a D&I-focused workplace is one full of frowns and formal business attire and promotion by seniority and endless paranoia about innocuous comments landing people in HR.

Nature did not spread human talent evenly among her people. Terrible things happen when we try to force nature to conform to our ideological preferences.

Personal anecdote: I used to get wrist and back pains a few years ago. The two big changes which I attribute to completely getting rid of these issue was 1) Switching to a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard and 2) Regular weight training 3 times a week.

I also find weight training really helps me deal with stress. I highly recommend it.
What's your vesting plan? Please say you have one: if not, you can't safely pivot without your soon-to-be-former partner, because everything you do going forward will be tainted by the partnership.

I have been in legal drama over these issues before. It is not fun.

If your partnership isn't well documented, you should consider walking away from the work, including all the code.

People on HN have talked about how vesting is unfair. But this situation is the problem it protects you from. If a partner refuses sane standard vesting, run, don't walk.
You need to be honest with your project partner and stop being so passive aggressive. Say, "You're not pulling your weight, you haven't done these things that you're supposed to do, and I've been continuing to work on the project. You can decide now: are you going to work on this or are we going to dissolve the partnership."

This is not being an asshole. This is being real and drawing a boundary beyond which you can no longer be taken advantage of.

The optimum result is they agree to leave the partnership. But either you need to eject this person from a project you want to continue to devote time to, or you need to move on to the next project. Your current situation is untenable.
I wonder how are they quantifying uncertainty around their predictions. Having a point-estimate without some notion of confidence interval seems much less useful. Is there a natural way to do this through LSTMs?

Also, some actual benchmarking would be great. Say, against Facebook's Prophet (which also deals with covariates and holiday effects).
This is how I like to manage my 100% remote position -- I rent a small space to convert into an office, or just hop into a coworking space depending on the amount of time I'm going to be somewhere and the infrastructure that needs to be built out.

I have worked "from home" for years and have much better mental health (and therefore better relationships) if I have a separate space to work from.
Yes, yes, yes.

This was brought up in a thread last week about "As a female, how do I identify a good employer?"

The best answers basically said "work somewhere that has as boring a corporate culture as possible". Basically, work for a place where you are rated on your production and nothing else. Work elsewhere and things like "how late did you work?" -- a metric that is far easier for people without children to meet -- cease to matter.

Working late isn't the only thing (though it is a big one), but it tends to correlate with "immature HR practices" in general. Inclusivity is about recognizing that people have life configurations that differ from your own, and creating the space for those differences to exist.
Counterexample: big parts of fintech have workplace cultures straight out of the 50s, dress codes and all. They're much less diverse than regular tech. SJW remedies for social ills never work, and they usually have extremely undesirable side effects.

I think there's a larger cultural phenomenon at play here.

Perhaps it's just me or or maybe my generation (those born in the late 70s) has a somewhat unique perspective on this but I think there were 3 pivotal developments around the end of the 80s / the beginning of the 90s:

- the fall of the Iron Curtain

- the advent of the World Wide Web and widespread use of personal computers and the internet

- globalisation becoming a considerable and perceptible factor in everyday life (mainly due to developments #1 and #2)

These developments to some extent caused cultural perceptions and distinctions - both spatial and temporal - to blur.

In my personal perception the 80s are still just 10 years ago.

Ask HN: Advice for African school computer lab setup
A friend is volunteering to setup a computer lab in an African village. They have wifi but nothing else. What is your recommendation for hardware / software setup to optimize for that environment? Things to consider: cost, reliability, ease of use, remote maintanece. It'd be preferable to have an OS / software suite that is common in the work space so that the kids develop skills that are practical -- most likely MS and office suite. Would love to get your advice / experience.

They just don't have the technical ability their western counterparts do, obviously some do but finding them is a crapshoot. Also if you pay people too much they won't stay with you and that will be a much bigger issue when you can pay someone more than they would otherwise be getting (even if it's costing you less)

There's also control, if you outsource your whole project then why do your workers even need you? They could just do it themselves and cut you out completely.
The problem is largely with their docs, or lack thereof. Just figuring out how to use one as a token for ssh is incredibly painful. The docs are very "enterprise," meaning half-done, overly complicated, confusing, scattered, etc.
It isn't; 867 is a valid translation, and -5309 is easy to remember. There's other, working numbers out there you'll eventually find if you look around.
I guess this is an issue for Google too, for their Linux fork Android.

Probably not a good example to use Google for this. Google has shown time and time again that they are culturally incapable of developing open source software if any other stakeholders have the power to say "No" to Google. And that's just for the projects developed in open, most of their "open source" is dropping code dumps for legal or strategic reasons rather than collaboration.

I'm not trying to make that sound like a complaint. They have the weight to throw around to enable their uncompromising and secretive approach to opensource. Them's just the breaks.
That's how you feel. Not everyone else does.

There's a pretty compelling quote from the first chapter of The Fifth Discipline:

"There is also another, in some ways deeper, movement toward learning organizations, part of the evolution of industrial society. Material affluence for the majority has gradually shifted people’s orientation toward work— from what Daniel Yankelovich called an “instrumental” view of work, where work was a means to an end, to a more “sacred” view, where people seek the “intrinsic” benefits of work. “Our grandfathers worked six days a week to earn what most of us now earn by Tuesday afternoon,” says Bill O’Brien, former CEO of Hanover Insurance. “The ferment in management will continue until we build organizations that are more consistent with man’s higher aspirations beyond food, shelter and belonging. Moreover, many who share these values are now in leadership positions. I find a growing number of organizational leaders who, while still a minority, feel they are part of a profound evolution in the nature of work as a social institution. “Why can’t we do good works at work?”"

Sorry, my conjunction made that unclear.

The "guilt" is not about what their parents gave them; it's about making people feel guilt for taking the home & education tax deductions. (Although those are legal deductions, the writer wants to convince 100k earners that they are morally wrong for meritocracy.)

There's no grand mysterious reason. Businessmen want cheaper. They are like "Indians are already used to low payments, let's offer them 15% more so they are ecstatic". In my observations, there's nothing else to it.
It depends what you've signed, and what what you've signed says. All good contracts describe what happens in the worst case scenario and backwards from there. If it isn't one of those contracts it depends on the court, if it went to court. I'd imagine since it isn't yet earning money it wouldn't go to court soon.

It might be a good idea to seek a lawyer for a sit-down, that will cost you a little bit of money but they can give you a better overview of your situation. Send all paperwork you have ahead of the consultation.

It could boil down to be as simple as discussing the issue openly with him. That you want to keep working on it and that if he doesn't, would he mind signing it (whatever it is) over to you. If so, it's easy.

No matter what happens, if you feel that he is isn't the best partner to have on the project it's going to be easier to deal with now than it will be the longer you leave it.

The device uses strong encryption (where legal), and goes beyond U2F to include password management, certificate storage, OTP/Google Auth, and plausible deniability. The hardware is teensy-based, and the firmware is open source. The devs have released fairly regular updates, and even encourage hacking on it to meet custom needs.
