I have a Do Not Disturb button on my phone that allows the phone to ring once then it goes directly to voicemail.

That is probably my number one productivity tool.

The next most important tool is moving everyone to an established process where all requests/bugs/tasks have to come through a single channel. In this case, the channel is Jira for me. Before this, things could come from many different channels. Having things all in one place ensures things do not fall through the cracks. It gives you the ability to see a big picture view of what is going on.

For smaller teams, it might not make sense to use something big like Jira, but none the less, having a process in place really helps.
Pretty sincere comment. Taking options instead of cash seems like a really bad idea 99/100 times. Don't know why anyone would do it ever. Either you're a founder or you're not.
Oh wow lol. Well maybe Common Lisp complicated the syntax further. I only know scheme and Clojure.

Though much of the time, lisp implementations adds syntax as shortend, and you can also do all that with the syntax I described.

I think chicob was saying that climate change causes more severe storms, which increases the weather; not saying that increased erosion leads to climate change. Your point is valid, but your cause and effect are backwards from chicob's.
> Remember that anything an organic farmer can do a conventional farmer can do as well, and probably is.

Different incentives exist. The organic certification process of soil is very expensive (in terms of time, not cash), which creates a big incentive for organic farmers to protect it from erosion. Organic practices involve a lot more living matter being put into the soil that helps to retain water, a lot more mulching to protect it from erosion.

Conventional farmers, with access to cheaper fertilizers and the like, lack the extra incentive to protect their existing soil.

I expect as global warming shifts incentives (like the need for carbon-neutral fertilizers, drought-tolerant soil, etc) organic farming practices for soil management will get adopted by conventional farmers. Proving these techniques out will be how organic farmers are remembered, not the nonsense about GMOs.

I think outside perspectives from other disciplines can help here.

I garden, and before that I tried and failed at bonsai for quite some time. With landscaping it's good to have a five year plan, because everything keeps changing when you're not looking, and if you tried to do everything you wanted all at once you'd hurt yourself and/or kill the plant(s).

I also played Go for a long while, and I found parallels with the philosophies in refactoring. One of the big things in Go is that there are always fifteen things you could be doing but some have contingencies, and among the others you can't win unless you prioritize these options better than the other guy. You know what moves you will make, and when the time is right you will make the move, and the next and the next almost without thinking, because there are patterns just like in software. But right now this other move has more upside so you are doing that instead.

In addition to the comment below about CrashPlan requiring you to use their client software, which limits abusabiliy -- I am also seeing signs of strain from CrashPlan. They have always had a policy that claimed they would delete data from machines that hadn't touched the service in a long time, but they had never implemented this in practice before; just last year they finally started sending out threatening letters to people saying they're going to delete data on short notice. (And they didn't really back down when people got angry.) This tells me the storage expense is starting to hurt them.
I'm sure that's part of it, but you can't really avoid that. But there are a ton of altcoins out there now, and most of them don't have interesting tech behind them or much to distinguish them from any of the others. Sia seems to have interesting tech behind it, to me at least.

I'll be leaving my job soon and if I work on anything over the next couple of years I want to own my work - even if that means giving it away for free.

I'd be interested in working on something from almost any domain (IoT, blockchain, ML, data stores, protocols, serialization, ...).

Anyone have a project/problem like this?
Good question. That would mean chaining two statements together so "nopes" is not allocated as a symbol. But, with "let", the user is explicitly instructing the compiler to allocate a reference for "nopes", so i don't think the compiler would chain the statements. Unless it takes the task to checking that "nopes" is not used elsewhere.

<Disclaimer: I don't implement compilers so, i can be totally wrong>

Thanks for elaborating.

> Advice to pray to a God you don't believe in is useless advice.

Agreed. But the act of praying to a god is actually an act of belief (i.e., trust) if you think about it. If the god doesn't exist, it's pretty worthless, though ultimately harmless as an isolated act. I happen to trust in God's existence and the teachings of the Bible, though. So it would be callous for me to see someone have existential struggles and not offer my well wishes and personal experience in the same area.

I'd reply to the rest of your thoughts in more detail, but I'd rather not get too off topic. I will say that your concerns with the behavior of "holy people" and "orthodoxy" is also expressed in the Bible itself. And it's directly answered in very clear words. So in that sense, a problem with many "Christians" (1) isn't blind unwavering devotion to the Bible as much as ignorance about it, or a failure to practice its teachings.

I'll also say that Christian philosophers advocate for abductive reasoning in (a)theist philosophy. It's a subject and train of thought I recommend well-read people be familiar with.

There's a lot of depth and breadth on these subjects, but there aren't many places where Christians are allowed to earnestly share on these matters. I hope HN doesn't mind indulging well-meaning people like me from time to time.

(1) I will point out that there's no regulation on the word "Christian". The Bible recognizes that as well, specifically mentioning in several places that many people will claim Christ falsely.
Dirt itself is overrated, sure. Soil has a little different connotation. It's not the sand or clay or any kind of dirt in particular, but rather the nutrients that are in it. If you have great soil, you won't need to add those nutrients. If you don't have great soil, you need to add them in.

If you have fertilizer, you don't need good soil. But it's better to have good soil and not need fertilizer. For one, good soil doesn't leak into waterways and destroy fish habitats the way nitrogen fertilizers do.

The housing market oftentimes works in cycles and changes with time. In my life I've watched the neighborhood I grew up in go from highly desirable to highly undesirable and now it's back to being desirable again. 30 year mortgage is enough time to see wild swings in technology, the economy, industry, and plenty else.

These all effect housing prices. Dramatically sometimes.

Mountain View is currently dependent on the tech industry and the flow of VC capital to maintain housing prices. Another .com crash and Mountain View house prices will crash accordingly. "Silicon Valley" may even move to the South or something in 20 years.

Right now the neighborhood I currently live in is in a boom due to a large employer here heavily ramping up production and the associated influx of people moving here from other parts of the country for work. I don't really expect the sort of growth we are experiencing now to last in the long term but who knows what will happen.

There's always the unknown.

Flint situation is so visible because generally the gov't does a great job at regulating water quality.

We are not there on greenhouse gas pollution, but the EPA has done some wonderful work on particulate pollution. Also, remember that the old ozone hole is healing? That was helped by a consortium of governments.

"Gov't" can mean so many things. This meme ("the Government can and does fuck up pretty much everything you hire them to do") is inaccurate and heavily influenced by the high profile failures that lead to availability bias.
I'm surprised Gromov and Thurston's contributions to geometry in the 70s-00s aren't emphasized more. Some things I think should be on there from my admittedly limited point of view:

- 1982/87: Yao and then later Goldreich-Micali-Wigderson prove the "fundamental theorem of cryptography", which essentially states that any computational functionality can be achieved "efficiently" and securely. I.e., given k parties with one input each and any function F of k inputs and k outputs, the parties can communicate so that each learns their output of the function on all the inputs, and nothing else.

- 2003: Perelman's proof of the geometrization conjecture.
Algolia is a great product.

However, the market is very very tough here.

The problem here is consolidation: all big customers (successful websites) will end up being part of mega-corporations (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, etc.). And all these companies have their own search engine (which they use for other machine learning, etc. - not just search). For example, Twitch will probably switch to Amazon A9.

So the question here is: what is the game plan to return this $53M? Acquisition?
I have always enjoyed the presentations at the Cornell Physics Department:

I have not found another talk series at Cornell (say Chemistry, Computer Science, or anywhere in the Life Sciences) that is consistently as good or broadly interesting. (ex. all of those talks would make sense to a condensed matter, astro, accelerator, elementary or bio-physicist; note that accelerator is about how do you accelerate the particles, elementary could involve what happens when they collide; Cornell has strong departments in all of the above.)

For quad GPU config you should look at dev box type option. It's $8,750 for machine with 4 1080Ti, 64GB of RAM, and 1TB SATA SSD. Quite a steep margin if you ask me, considering a 128GB RAM machine that you build yourself would cost you at most $5,700 (taxes included) if you get everything from Amazon, and probably under $5k if you're willing to shop around a little.
A for-profit toll road is only bad because it's a natural monopoly. Competitors can't (cost-effectively) stack (or tunnel) their roads.

Good thing that the subject of debate here is something very tiny and very light. Older wired technology requires right-of-way and permits. That scheme is effectively a natural monopoly, assuming there's only one provider. That doesn't necessarily mean the next time the ISP digs up their lines to replace them that competitors shouldn't be able to bury their wires at the same time as long as the cost was shared, even though the monopoly will fight like hell to prevent it, but local laws like that should be written in order to promote competition.

Newer wireless technology is much less cost/regulation prohibitive, and not much slower. This forces the incumbents to compete and provide a valuable service.

If local ISPs use their government-sanctioned monopoly to exhort consumers or the business who cater to them, let's crack down on that. That's a specific abuse that harms specific customers.

In the case where a local ISP wants to finance an expansion or upgrade of the network with prioritized service for select customers, while not degrading what existing customers are paying for, I don't see the harm in that, especially in competitive markets, in which case the only reason for the upgrade is because the market, not a group of bureaucrats, demands it.
Part of the appeal of good wine for me is the social aspect of discovery, and I don't think I'd want to trade that in for a technical one. I don't want a perfect wine so much as I want to drink a sincere recommendation from a friend or family member, and hopefully have that same wine again with them, and have something to talk about. In fact when I'm with certain people, even bad wine is fondly remembered. "What was that chalk we were drinking last month... I crave it when I think of you."*

The funny thing about all this is that his big data quest for more good wine was launched because of the same reason I enjoy wine: It was his brother-in-law's recommendation that found him his favorite, not crunching the #cassis #vanilla #persistentfinish numbers. And he's doing this to find bottles similar to the one from a beloved family member, most of which are far more expensive (eyeballing the graph), but if I were him, I don't know if I could ever find a better bottle than "my brother-in-law's wine." Isn't sentimentality worth more than the data, especially when working with the most fickle data-set of all?

Also, come on, don't make a post like this and not give us the list!

> So how would you categorize CrashPlan? They offer unlimited storage for $60/year. I've had around 8TB backed up there for the last 2-3 years.

CrashPlan's upload speed is a joke for people located outside North America. I had an account for ~3 years, but found it difficult to upload more than 6TB. (There are rumours that CrashPlan throttles uploads.)

Wealthfront and Betterment fit the population of people that honestly don't even want to read that wiki and just want someone else to deal with it. That population is a lot larger than you think- I don't have the statistics handy, but a very large % of people just have their 401k funds sitting in cash. And even for slightly more knowledgeable people, they are happy to have a middle ground of a company that at least does an annual checkup to make sure their portfolio makes sense while avoiding a sleazy broker type.

I found this book to be quite good:

> The Irritability Cure: How To Stop Being Angry, Anxious and Frustrated All The Time

https://www.amazon.com/Irritability-Cure-Being-Anxious-Frust...

It does a good job covering various reasons you might be upset, e.g.:

"

1. Someone did something they shouldn’t have done.

2. Someone was hurt, harmed, humiliated, embarrassed, offended, disappointed, or otherwise inconvenienced by what was done.

3. Some person or persons (other than myself) were unilaterally responsible (i.e. to blame) for #1 and #2.

4. The offending person or persons should acknowledge what they did wrong, offer to make amends, and/or be punished.

"

Then various things you can try to think about to short circuit being upset:

"

A) Failing to recognize how your own judgments, evaluations, and standards might not be valid for other people.

B) Failing to recognize how your own actions, past and present, may have contributed to what happened.

C) Justifying your anger, instead of looking within yourself for its internal causes.

D) Retaliating or seeking revenge, instead of openly and honestly dealing with what happened.

"

I know lots of advice in this realm ends up being things like stop and breath, exercise, use religion and forgiveness, but none of those things really do anything for me. If you can make a chain of logic to the bad result of being upset and then break the chain somewhere with one of those, I find that quite effective.
Sounds more like a design decision - don't exclude documents, where there is a low probability of relevance. For various reasons it might be better to have more results with some irrelevant ones, instead of 7 highly relevant ones.

To solve this, I think some more universal mathematical truths would have to be employed. If you have 30 different definitions of compactness, the party in power will tend to choose the definition that will benefit them the most. If however, you choose some construct in mathematics where there is only a single option, you may avoid this particular problem.

1) The satellite system system broadcasts to everyone (apparently poorly/not encrypted) in the area, so it isn't necessary to take over any upstream routing in order to get a hold of the incoming packets. They just arrive at your doorstep, and since you configured them to be rejected by normal clients you know you won't have to compete for the response.

2) The C&C just responds over regular land-line. (Since the satellite service is download-only, this isn't any different from the service's normal clients.)

3) The reply keeps coming back over satellite and they keep grabbing it?
