Two points that keep coming up:

"Real wages have gone down"

Well, how high should they have risen? They can't rise indefinitely. Yet, the products you can buy for the same money have vastly improved. What car could you buy for (the equivalent of) 10,000$ in 1979? Would you trade? All sorts of goods have become either cheaper or better, or have literally come into existence.

Now, you will blame the rise of Chinese manufacturing on these improvements, but then please also consider how much wages have improved for the Chinese. The standard of living is rising across the board, across the globe.

"It all goes in the pockets of a few super-rich"

It's repeated like a mantra on the left, but when do they ever show you the actual numbers? Do yourself a favor and take all the wealth and all the income of the top 10% and distribute it across the other 90%. Now tell me, has the wealth and income gone up dramatically for those 90%? Wealth/Income inequality is a psychological problem more so than an economic one.
No. It's not that simple.

I remember playing with those on my 3G or my 4. It was pretty impressive what people were able to do with those little phones.

I'm sure part of it is just the ability to do useful things, part of it may simply be that they have such had room on the chips that they can do it without draining battery life horribly. I remember those old apps clearly used a lot of processing power.

Doing their job is a perfect excuse for doing a whiteboard problem during an interview. If the company has standards for interviews, you should follow them, it would be pretty arrogant to just do it a different way because you think you know better than the standards.
A different interpretation would be that he's condemning the argument while endorsing the form of the argument.

He wants democratic socialists to embrace populist rhetoric and use it to push their agenda, because he prefers that agenda to that of Trump.
Yes. It's AR in that they overlaid something over the real world.

That's why the little bit during the demo was interesting. They showed Pokémon go using AR but it was actually doing it correctly, where the Pokémon stayed in position as they moved the camera around.

I was wondering what Pokémon Go would do on android. Will this feature be iOS only or will they implement their own version on android?
There is an absence of pragmatism and an excess of moral prosecution in Chomsky's criticisms. He can't point to historically successfully (and hence tested) societies based on his ideals. This isn't a problem as an academic exercise - but it has become fodder for the neo-Marxists/Trotskyists masked as "socialist democrats" wreaking havoc in liberal institutions.
A bit different from turn-by-turn, I use mine for precise positioning using topo maps out in the Australian bush.

Heh. The tagline for this car HUD (http://www.jbl.com/connected-car/CP100+LEGEND.html) says, "Now your car can be on the grid too". That's getting pretty close to your tagline.
IMO YC depends on its branding as the exclusive, "Harvard of incubators," and if they keep funding so many startups they are going to lose that edge and create the space for a new YC.

Each class is like 130 startups now, right? I keep seeing startups that duplicate other existing YC startups. I just imagine as an investor you have to be thinking "Ok, now there are 2 or 3 or 4 times as many startups as 3 years ago being pitched to me that are going to fail."
Right. And it's just rather difficult for the kernel to know the user-land LC_CTYPE setting, so it doesn't, so it doesn't know the encoding of any string, so the best thing to do is assume UTF-8. If you want some other encoding, then libc's syscall stubs will have to do codeset conversions, or if not then you have to make sure that you only use that codeset everywhere.

When you're free soloing, you climb much faster and with much less equipment.

With safety equipment, climbing El Cap takes 2-4 days, and you have to pull up several bags of equipment behind you with pulleys.

Without any safety equipment (i.e. free soloing) climbing El Cap takes a few hours and you just bring your body and some chalk.

Plus it's just a cool thing to do (at least IMO). It's like, the dude is so good at climbing he doesn't need ropes.
AR kit isn't limited to the 7+ ( they demoed it on an iPad) space so clearly that's not REQUIRED. I wonder if they're using the second camera for depth on the 7+ when it's available.

Perhaps that data isn't granular enough (or fast enough) to be useful when doing AR compared to the normal camera picture plus the motion sensor data.
On some printers, this is the reason why the printer will refuse to print a BW-only printout while the only empty cartridge is the color one.

Sadly the ISP for internet to our office building only gave out a /65... that we are meant to share with ~20 companies.

Suffice to say I've got IPv6 to the internet gateway, but no further. => They fulfilled their contractual obligation to "provide ipv6 connectivity", while being entirely useless.
They'll probably use us as a stat to prove that no one wants ipv6 anyway...

There is no choice in provider.
I'm trying to parse out your meaning here. Are you suggesting that companies like Uber should be open and encouraged to hire sexual harassers so that they might all enjoy the company of each other?

Or are you suggesting that someone who has been harassed should leave their employer and not complain about it, because the company should be free to sexually harass as much as it wants? Or both?
I think whiteboard questions are great if you make them either pretty easy questions, or more complex questions that you just diagram and discuss. In the first case, you filter out poor coders very easily, and see how the better coders apporach the problem. In the second case, you learn about their thought process when approaching a problem where you can't just modify an algorithm you have already practiced and answer it.
"risk" is a relative term here. Most of the founders come from fairly privileged backgrounds, and most of the time "I started a company let me tell you how it failed" works pretty well when interviewing in later ventures.

Additionally, early engineers and biz folks are usually brought on specifically because the founders don't know what the fuck they're doing in either technology or business.

There's this big myth that being a founder is some magical hardship and a massive fucking gamble, but the realities don't make that so--instead, it's used to justify fleecing employees out of market rates.
> I am genuinely curious about this as it seems to be a rising trend where the vocal minority want to enforce their idea of culture and beliefs onto others as if it were a religious or cult like movement that I have seen before in Christian groups.

It seems to me that in this particular case, it's not a matter of "enforcing their idea of culture and beliefs onto others", but just enforcing the law.

Of course it makes sense and of course it will help sell phones.

This only works on iPhones/iPads with the A9 or A10 chip. Which means that if you want to use AR then you need to upgrade from your iPhone 6. It also will create a suite of AR apps which only run on iOS.
> you can instead push your artifacts to an s3 target

This is our tactic. I tried to do baked AMIs at one point, but the 10-15 minute turnaround in registering them meant that we couldn't use them for staging or testing (too long to iterate changes).

Previously we were capistrano-deploying with git from bitbucket - every server had to individually git pull from servers on the other side of the continent, over the public internet. Susceptible to all sorts of problems.

ARKit doesn't seem to require dual cameras because it runs on iPads too. I do wonder if it uses the depth sensing second camera in the iPhone 7 Plus, or if that data isn't fast/precise enough to be useful.

I ought to be able to do better because I used to know more precisely how many dots per page are printed and how large they are.

But a back-of-the-envelope calculation suggested to me an upper limit of about 1000 kg to 10000 kg of extra toner per year in the United States. However, there are several factors that make me think that even the low figure is an overestimate.

I agree with your frustration about paying for this. Mako Hill used it as an example of an antifeature

https://wiki.mako.cc/Antifeatures

(It might be more accurate to define antifeatures in terms of buyers' willingness to pay to have the features removed, rather than sellers' insistence on being paid to remove them, since we can't, in fact, routinely pay for many of the antifeatures he mentions to be removed.)

In a proper startup, the founders typically make the least amount of money to start and plow back all available resources into growing the company. Only when the company is on more stable financial footing, either through profits or investments, does the founder start to make a salary closer to market. Of course this can go wrong and since the founders set the salaries they can suck money out of the business, but IMO the founder should be making the least amount of money in the early stages.

In regards to the Startup School lecture, one of the points Dustin Moskovitz makes in his talk is that you have a better shot at doing well financially if you join a startup at Series B+ than you do trying to start your own startup. You'll have less stress and if you join the next mega-successful company, you'll most likely make more money. There's also a huge amount of learning that takes place working at a rocket ship for a few years and the brand creditability is worth something too. The hard part is picking a startup that is actually the next Google, Facebook, Uber, etc and sticking around until it goes public to exercise your options (especially since companies are taking longer to go public and lock up early employees with golden handcuffs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_handcuffs).

That being said, if your goal is to get rich, your best bet is probably to start an actual business, raise as little money as possible, and "sell early" - e.g. acquired for < $30M. If you look at most acquisitions, most of them are under the $30M mark (https://www.cbinsights.com/blog/tech-companies-exit-early-st...).

The reality with taking venture capital is even if you take a "small" amount of from seed investors of lets say $2M in exchange for a 20% stake, you're looking at a $50M exit to make back 5x the VC's money (simplifying the math and not accounting for additional liquidation preferences), which in a VCs perspective isn't that great. They're more so looking for a 10x return, so $100M is the minimum for a seed investment.

Probably the ideal scenario for the founder trying to become wealthy is to just be as lean a possible, keep as much equity as possible and ultimately sell to become financially secure. Once you have enough money to keep you set for your life, then maybe it makes more sense to swing for the fences.
We Are Not Human: Derek Parfit
It was not a flippant dismissal. I was simply trying to make the argument that the basis of cleanliness in food processing has done pretty fucking well.

You confuse monoculture with cleanliness. We don't want diverse culture soups in our processing. What we deliberately put in our body we want to be well identified culture or no culture at all.

I was pointing out a serious flaw in your reasoning based on over a century of results based on scientific progress. It's easy to dismiss food safety as "industrial" when the very real alternative is pathogenic disease outbreak.

There is nothing false about that dichotomy.

Science is the sole source of evidence. If your woo philosophy produces better outcomes, then put up or shut up.

Burden of proof has not been shifted. Burden of proof is with the challenger. Increased food safety is the status quo with a century+ of life expectancy improvements.
HN seems to be in favor of segregated groups.

A few years ago I would have said that companies should be apolitical and that they should hire the best people available and have everyone act somewhat professionally.

But now it seems everyone wants companies to be political, liberals want companies to be pro gay marriage, christians want companies to be against it. When companies didn't have to pick sides a liberal and christian could work at the same company, but no it seems we're creating more and more segregated groups.

Then to make matters even worse we have social media policies that prevent you from voicing any opinion not shared by your corporate overlord.

There's also the possibility that this ends up being very useful to the business market; either for in-house apps or for apps sold to businesses. If it solves the problem they have they'd be willing to pay real money as opposed to the problem of getting consumers to spend.
It depends on what your deployment system is; it's not always trivial to just change the target git origin to a new server. For someone who knows what they're doing and has the time to focus on doing it, it won't be too hard, but Murphy's Law gets in the way.
You can teach yourself to be a risk taker
I was totally disengaged from school socially and academically. I went and worked in a kitchen so I could buy a van, guitar and amp at 17. I spent my 20's touring around North America and Europe within the underground crust/punk community. I worked at record stores and DIY labels. All of it has been a great learning opportunity and helped me develop on the fly critical thinking and problem solving skills. It helped me appreciate the value of the dollar and what not having a place to live is like. It also taught me how the private sector works, networking and selling products in a limited market. I learned vast alcohol consumption causes problems when trying to do all those things, and not having your shit together is costly. However, the big thing is I learned all of that without being crippled with student loans, in fact I came out of it with savings, and capital.
thanks – that was exactly the problem and I was able to find the bug with Chrome's responsive inspector mode.

Apple does not provide JavaScript access to their APIs, so I doubt it. You'll only be able to use this in native apps. Something like PhoneGap or Cordova could try, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were serious performance issues.
Taking risks is not the same as cheating death.

Driving a motorcycle is not something you do to get an adrenaline high, yet from a strictly transportation perspective, it's a bigger risk than driving a car.

I think it has to do with priorities. Death is not the worst that can happen to me, hence I don't chose the safest option in every decision, because even though a long life is desirable, it's not the most important thing.

The sense of freedom is often worth more than the safest option.
It goes without saying the determinism of PRNGs can be a very useful property. But if you need that property, you if can explicitly seed it from a random source, you can also explicitly seed it with 1 if you wanted.

The PRNG/RNG distinction you make is slightly false. Even if you're doing cryptography usually don't want to use a true source of entropy directly, you're better off feeding several sources of entropy into a PRNG. That's what both /dev/random and /dev/urandom give you (despite some common misconceptions).

What most developers really want is a non-deterministic (randomly seeded) PRNG. When you actually want the PRNG to be deterministic, you usually also need to seed it explicitly anyway (e.g. having multiple runs in the same app or allowing the user to specify a seed to generate a map in a game). The implicit is useful for very few developers (if any), and confusing for the vast majority of junior developers out there.
So ... this is a thing.

And asm.js wasn't the correct answer either. Nor is minification, as is pointed out in my original comment.

On (1), you're ignoring the fact that asm.js/wasm/low-level languages are in general harder to reverse than uglified high-level stuff. You can see the details perfectly, sure, but emitted compiled code (say, from Duff's device or something) is a lot harder to back out of than the equivalent minified source code--especially when you see crazy shit like "-O 3" would make. tl,dr; compilation != minification, and acting like they are is at best incorrect.

Your (2) fails to address the entire complaint about wasm (aka asm.js) leading to bad things and ecosystem bloat. You just say "well we can kinda already do it", but fail to address any of the substance of the actual argument I made.

Your (3) misses the point completely about "write in native code" and not "write in something that gets run in an interpreter". Like, you've missed the whole point that if you need performance, you need to be writing something outside the browser, and if you don't need performance existing JS is sufficient.

Why did you decide to make this a site rather than a desktop app?

This is a private database as I see it, so there is no need for it to be online.

Thanks for this.
I was thinking of making something similar but just for personal use as it would have been much more basic. My use case is that I've been to a couple of family events and I always have trouble remembering the names of ppl I might only see once a year like my cousins kids or husband etc. Or sometimes friends of family members who I will only ever see through them very infrequently.

Ultimately the most amazing use would be to have google glass etc and when I see them their name comes up in a bubble.

Noticed a couple of bugs but im pretty sure they have been reported - e.g. not able to link someone like add a child if they already exist. So at present you can only add one parent

I'm in Canada, we wouldn't discriminate based on your age (in fact I think it'd be illegal).

I'd say start contributing patches to open-source projects you like. You'll have to fork them, which will make your Github page less empty (but no one will be fooled into thinking they are yours), and you'll learn how the open-source world (and therefore some teams) works.

If you don't like any particular open-source projects, start finding some to like because it's a big part of the culture (unless you absolutely want a corporate soul-sucking job).
