At this point Github is a national security risk. The amount of passwords, keys, hashes, code, data uploaded to that system is massive. I am sure that government agencies, contractors, multinational defense departments, etc are dumping things on there hourly. Will it get hacked? Get your popcorn out. It will happen.
Funding startups others wouldn't is perhaps the most essential part of YC.

VCs didn't want Dropbox or Airbnb or Stripe without YCs stamp of approval.

YC could very plausible fund as many startups as there are ambitious and determined founders.

Let anyone participate in the programs and then let the startups filter themselves out by failing to keep up the progressively more challenging levels of effort.

I'm one of those people. I don't like mucking around in the app-store, but I'd save a shortcut.
C++11's random number facility isn't as good as all that.

Here are some of the pain points I'm aware of:

There's no way to use the random device to uniformly seed the internal state of an arbitrary pseudorandom generator. In fact, the usual thing to write will seed with only 32 bits of randomness. (this has been noted by others in this thread)

Some of the floating-point functionality such as std::uniform_real_distribution and generate_canonical have trouble where the text specifies half-open intervals like [0,1) but the (pseudo)code in practice gives closed intervals like [0,1]. Usually this can only be observed when generating values of type 'float'. This makes me generally suspect that the real number distributions in the standard library are probably poorly specified in general. (in fact, the original report that led to issue 2524 was in about the exponential distribution, which per the standard must be defined in terms of generate_canonical) http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#...

Finally, there is support for some frankly weird things in the basic random engines: you can specify a random engine that only returns the numbers 37 and 38, for instance. It turns out that e.g., std::linear_congruential_engine, including std::minstd_rand, can have a minimum possible output value of 1 rather than 0, which in turn makes the random engine's min() method necessary. But why not require engines to generate integral values on the closed interval [0..n], and make it the responsibility of linear_congruential_engine to subtract 1 before returning? A random number generator with (2^31)-2 distinct possible values is going to make for much weirder statistical anomalies than one with period 2^x when someone uses them carelessly (and what other way is there to use random numbers?).
They are equating this with SOPA... I just lost interest.
Thanks for the detailed rundown. How long do you think it will take to rebuild the existing letslunch.com website from scatch in python? just a rough estimate without going for the nitty gritty of table sizes, length, number of lines of code.. letslunch has data of 90,000 users, 60,000 lunches, 12-15 dynamic pages and about 6 api's that we use from linkedin, facebook etc
They do ask for a license that allows them to resell your content.
Not necessarily. In fact the Stasi thought it was a swell idea!
Sure, if you measure uptime of your business and dev team by whether you're serving pages. I wouldn't.

If Github being down means you're not fixing your site today, I'd call it a runtime dependency.
The supply of skilled, vetted labor exists at the higher regulated prices in most locations. The demand for the service exists in most locations at today's lower prices. Even squeezing out inefficiencies to lower costs and improve convenience/quality/flexibility/coverage, the only way this works is if wages are subsidized. Few people can afford a full time employee, let alone the 3+ needed for 24 in-home hour care.
We had two high-profile paragliding deaths over the past year in my area. One, a seasoned pro who'd flown (and instructed) here for decades apparently took a risky line (if you don't have enough altitude or updrafts to make it over a saddle, there's nowhere to go) and didn't make it. She knew the area well and knew the issues but something went wrong - what specifically happened is unknown of course, maybe canopy collapse. The second was a father who took his daughter up, failed to clip himself in correctly somehow, got disconnected, and fell 1000 feet. His daughter didn't know how to fly but survived her subsequent crash landing.

* I'm not a paraglider, so apologies if the terminology is off.
This should be good for a large number of startups who are not in the valley. Structure with an incentive program is a great way to get teams in markets lacking a SV-style approach to entrepreneurship. I think English speaking countries have had a big advantage here because there's so much content and expertise out there. One thing they should do is simulcast the lectures with professional translators in another langauage or at least crowdsourcing subtitles. This would be really helpful for entrepreneurs in places like Japan.
Is it possible to add yellow dots or the opposite of yellow dots (assuming they are additive?) to the printed content such that the existing dots become noise?
There's no ha for github enterprise. Single instance with hot failover.

Anecdote != data, mate. Counter examples: I went to Abingdon School which is in the town called Abingdon (Oxfordshire). Before that I went to a school called Wolborough Hill School which was perched on top of Wolborough Hill, in Newton Abbot, Devon. Both are (were in the case of Wolborough which passed away some time ago) fee-paying schools.

My dad was a soldier (as was my mum but she was told to leave on marrying dad - things were different back then). Me and my brother went through five schools/kindergartens by the age of 10 (three in West Germany, one in Manc (MCR)). By that age we were pretty good at looking under cars for devices because dad was an ATO and taught us - a handy skill for a family going to a restaurant or whatever: you never knew when you car was going to explode.

Dad didn't hand over the family business to me and my brother because the RAOC (Rag And Oil Company) is now part of another org these days - RLC (Really Large Corps) and besides I'm a nerd and a sysadmin and my brother is loosely HR. We are both grateful for the start in life that both he and mum and a contribution that the army gave us in life - whether it made us better or worse people is debatable. We had less schools is definite.

OK, my job title is MD these days but you doff your hat and I'll kick you in the nuts (and take you out for a beer until the swelling subsides.)

The most honest answer is you don't. Unless you are a legit genius-level developer, in which case you wouldn't be posting this question on here.
And they specifically mention it's a "non-exclusive" license.

I suspect Reddit might claim a Collection Copyright in the compilation of posts/comments - so even if you could acquire your own license to a post and each of the comments - if you tried publishing that as a book, Reddit could claim the organisation of those individually copyrighted items is owned by them...
This is planned according to the roadmap (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/projects/1). This is crucially important to me as well, so I'll make it happen. Thanks.
In such large groups, engagement drops off really fast.

If half the companies drop out each week, that's 200 mentors towards 625 companies, which isn't that great, but not too bad.
Yes. And recovery time should be tracked separately from uptime is the takeaway imo.
people consistently think that this was a total secret

As far as I've seen, this isn't true.
They might not back the whole 10000 startups but would probably invest in 5-10% of the ones they feel are really good.
I think that Visual Programming could be more suitable for building modern applications that may need to make web services to monitor physical devices (for example) or to gather and analyze values coming from sensors,etc...
That's exactly what has driven the design or our new Visual Programming language : the need of being able to rapidly and easily build applications that connect and use technologies that
were not made for working together (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRWIlDXeLdk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JccLWZ6nPlY).

The US has raised the minimum wage multiple times.

Want to read a study of seven decades of historical data about what happens when the minimum wage increases?

http://www.nelp.org/publication/raise-wages-kill-jobs-no-cor...

There is no correlation with decreased employment, in fact most times, there are employment increases, and these increases are bigger in industries more effected by minimum wage like retail and hospitality.
I'm hypothesizing, but you could make the slightest of changes to the print.

For example, if it's text, modify the font ever so slightly so it's invisible to the eye but measurable to someone looking for it.

I would add that creating a false threshold will only train parents to ignore any warnings of a threshold, which could actually cause more harm.
I kind of see your point but it's the wrong phrase. It's not a runtime dependency in a technical sense.
Another flaw with generate_canonical<float> is that if you generate, say, 2^40 of the things, you should expect to get quite a few values smaller than 2^-32; but with minstd_rand, or mt19937 I believe you will not ever see values smaller than 2^-32 or so. A similar problem exists with double, though it takes a much longer-running problem to prove it (ain't nobody got time to generate 2^61 random numbers)
Bullshit, I've attended a startup school event in london and they were very clear that they want people to relocate to SV.

Is YC backing 10k international startups with funding, or is this just a MOOC?
Whether or not it's a good or bad thing relies entirely on each person's own definition of pragmatism itself.

It's practical for my Mom to be indifferent about it. Reality Winner, not so much.

I'd give a dollar to hear how you arrived at this conclusion.
It does seem strange that you have to typically "pay your dues" with 4-ish semesters of calculus (calc i, ii, ii, diffy-q, and maybe pre-calc) before you take anything else. It's very strange as a gate-keeper to the subject.
Denver tech center, Broomfield or Boulder
Click-bait warning! TL;DR: YC won't be 'backing' 10k startups in the financial backing/investing sense at all, but accepting 10k startups into their Startup School MOOC.
Anybody who tries to imitate this without knowing what they are doing won't make it 10 meters, let alone 1000 meters. To even make it to the face of El Cap, you have to have some idea what you are doing.

If I'm making a tech product (not SaaS) as a solo founder, no employees, no funding, not in the Bay Area, but making a product that people love, would I be considered a success?

I personally love the Startup School lectures and they have been a great help to me.
I have hired a lot of developers, working for different companies in different countries. And I have never ever seen a case where a developer did well in the WBI interview, was hired, and then turned out later to not be a good developer. However I have seen plenty of examples of developers (interviewed by somebody else) who didn't do a WBI interview and later was fired because they were not good developers. My point is that if you can't do a WBI, well then perhaps you are simply not as good a developer as you think you are. Developing is about thinking. And WBI style interviews force you to think for yourself without copy-pasting a solution from Google.
This is the sort of thing I do in my local area; update OSM with anything I notice that's missing and seems like it belongs.

The bulk of my updates are local trails through the bush from when I go exploring, based on my GPS tracks. But I've also been adding pedestrian paths between streets, new roads from residential developments, and so on.

I'm guessing it just takes a few of this kind of person to keep OSM up-to-date. It's a shame it's not more widely used directly by the general public with some way of flagging errors.
I do not use DHCP. (Nor do I use ARP.) For a small home network I do not need it.

I run a private root and a private nameserver that serves encrypted DNS packets from a datacenter. "Pseudo authoritative": the zone contains the third party addresses I need. All DNS queries are encrypted. Sent from localhost resolver to private nameserver. Nothing in the clear. That is how it works.

There will always be metadata gathering on the internet (access logs). But there does not have to be unencrypted (DNS) packets or third party DNS resolvers.

Higgins was not native to the South, despite his love of bourbon.

That's because it's a delicious spirit. It's whiskey after all, the essence of beer.

Speaking of which, I recently had a Sierra Nevada Barrel-Aged "Islay Fog". I happen to have found it delicous, but regardless, its manufacture is quite interesting if you think about it.

In case you aren't aware, American whiskey is aged in new oak barrels whose insides have been charred. Those barrels are then sent to Scotland, where they are used to age Scotch whisky. In the case of Scotch from the island of Islay, the malted barley is toasted over a peat fire, which is what gives Islay Scotches their distinctive smokey flavor.

So here we have an American beer that was aged in a barrel formerly used to age Islay Scotch, formerly used to age Bourbon, imparting a peat flavor. A barrel traveled twice across the Atlantic, and is probably at least a dozen years old, and held three different alcohols, just so I could have a delicous drink.
Yep. The original post even speculates the thing might have a comet-tail because of the evaporation.

I've been the wrong side of a case of mistaken identity by a government department. It took a very long time to get it sorted out, despite the obvious impossibility of the situation their system claimed we were in, and while we aren't talking life and death, the consequences could have been quite serious.

The most frustrating thing was trying to get anyone to acknowledge the possibility of the error in the first place. Even some years ago when this happened, there was so much blind trust in the almighty database that it was basically dumb luck that I eventually managed to find someone willing to take a deeper look without just hanging up the phone or otherwise cutting me off.

The biggest underlying problem, apart from the original error that caused the whole situation, seemed to be that despite my complaints there was no sort of formal case opened to deal with the problem, nor any clear set of records kept, nor any specific individual assigned to resolve the matter. The whole system simply didn't acknowledge the possibility of a mistake or provide any process for correcting it.

At least in my case the problem was obvious to me. With modern systems making automated decisions about anything from mortgage applications to who goes on a secret no-fly list, there seems to be a very real danger of innocent people suffering very serious problems as a result of these errors but having no way to even identify the cause of the problem to start trying to get it fixed.
Having fun with maxed out uniqifiers on a non unique clustered index
A lot of the coolness requires a critical mass. The idea is usually being a standard, being Apple supported, or being included in Android provides that...in practice, that hasn't been true.

I look enviously at other countries that have been using feature phones for banking and p2p banking. The video of a guy in China assembling his own iPhone shows QR codes at each booth used for payment. There's no reason Smart Phones or NFC could do those things better, but we still don't have it and it won't be happening in the U.S. in near future.
> and in part I think because of a failure to communicate the ideas to the best and most influential implementers - exactly why I don't know.

I agree here, that page is the perfect example, all I see is a page full of academic buzzwords and not a "How this works in practice". So we limit what resources an app has access to, that's easy enough to understand, but what happens when an app needs resource x? Does it have to prompt the user or does it have to have to be granted the access at install time? As far as I'm aware those are the only two options.

> The idea is that capability-based user interfaces do not need to ask those "Yes, get my work done/No, be secure" questions in the first place. That idea will be better tested if they ever take off in more than the isolated areas they're currently found of course.

It sounds like it has to prompt users to get permissions:

In 2012 Alex solo'd Freerider, Watkins, and Half Dome in ~19 hours.

He completed the Fitz Traverse with Tommy, who referred to him as the greatest climber of our generation(perhaps a bit of hyperbole, but still).

He is the current speed record holder with Hans Florine for The Nose.

Alex is the top ultramarathoner of rock climbing. Not only is his endurance of effort incredibly high, he is able to continually execute moves at an extremely high level with an almost non-existent error rate. He has admitted to feeling fear, and has mentioned that he free solo's stuff he feels very comfortable with. I'm positive his AMAZING physical abilities, particularly in the area of climbing endurance, are a contributing factor to his success in this area.

It may be true that his grade is not as high as 350 other peoples, however I would say that dismissing his "physical abilities" as not so special is perhaps not so accurate.

The best projects and rates are through your network.
Family friends, businesses your family uses like you mention.

Indeed. Consider taking out an ad in your school newspaper; I had good luck with that back in the day.
Being in startup school, I can say it's definitely useful, and having a mentor point out when ideas are bad or ways to improve is helpful.

What's more helpful, is that you're placed in a group of say 20 other companies all trying to produce something, some are making money, some have literally nothing. You can learn from one another, share ideas, test out each others products, etc.

One thing most people trying to start a company don't have is a support network of highly motivated people doing the same thing. I know I personally do, but many of my fellow startup school colleagues do not. That's what's helpful: The startup school group office hours (or therapy sessions).

The second most valuable portion of startup school, is that they force you to be accountable. If I say I'm doing X, they want to see it. They expect results, and they push you to share.

The finally, and perhaps most valuable portion of startup school, is the fact you can network. I'd argue this is different than group office hours. There are many companies that have synergies, for example my project: https://projectpiglet.com/ can help identify trends, or "experts", which other teams could use.

There are other examples, but it's definitely been useful.

That being said, it is not YC proper. You don't get funds, many of the founders don't actually have an LLC or C-Corps. Many are in school, or (like myself) have full-time jobs working 50 hours a week.

Although not being able to work on the project full-time sucks, I've definitely made progress through startup school. We would have had less without it, the ideas from the team have bubbled up and the support pushes us to do better. I would recommend it, and definitely don't think it's "backing 10k startups", however it is helping in a significant way.
With immigration to the US being as hard as it is (Nigh on impossible for say, Europeans, to work in the US), and , on top of that, the US government going full protectionist, this is amazing.
Do they let you set your own encryption key? It's been a long time since I've tried their client. It was pretty slow for me.
That code is making an array of primes and iterating through it. It's just that the array is stored in instruction memory, and there is no explicit fiddling with indices or pointers.

As for more advanced primality testing methods, I guess it depends on where the the fancier algorithms begin to pay off. It would not surprise me if this simple algorithm was the fastest for any input small enough to be stored in a single machine word.
