Samsung has Tizen sitting in the wings if Google gets too pushy. HTC would not hesitate to make a deal with Microsoft. LG owns WebOS, and is actively using it in their smart TVs. Huawei, ZTE and such can just fall back on Chinese infrastructure.

> How can one person read 42k anything.

It's actually quite easy in this case. Most of them are threads, from a quick skim on the replies. So you separate them into threads, treating the person that replied to the top comment (so, mentioning @JeffBezos and himself only) as one idea. Replies to these replies are not usually ideas, but more of questions, feedbacks and such. So, I would say that there are at most 10% of usable tweets (out of 42k replies in total), which you then combine into specific ideas (chain responding about an idea is still just one idea) and you get down to something like 500-1000. Out of those, you'll might find 50 or so that are actually doable and not blatant trolling (I mean, one of the top replies is literally "I could need some money and I would consider it very philanthropic") and you get something usable and easily digestible within a day or so.

I would say that he needs to read them, but he definitely needs someone to make it digestible before starting to read them.

That was the first thing that jumped out at me too. Without sharing the portion of the cost that was from having a massive database and associated expenses (storage, redundancy, backups, disk I/O, maintenance) and then not having one at all on the new setup, the savings come across as disingenuous. I wouldn't be shocked if the DB was at least 2/3 of it.

Step 1: Begin with culture.

Get every single employee involved. Have a very big summit with the single goal: creating the culture that Uber should aspire to be, and coming up with a distinct plan for how they're going to get there. Engineers like to solve problems, and it's clear there's a big one here that has been identified.

Once we have our goal of who we want to be as a company, there will need to be continual work to make sure we're still aligned on that goal, aligned on that culture. There will be people who need to leave, by their own choice or not, based on whether they want to and can be part of that change.

Probably worth hiring Fowler to be part of it, if she's willing.

Step 2: Cut some losses.

This Uber/Waymo thing? It's time to settle. It's clear that even if somehow Uber is innocent in all this, we're not going to win the case in court. Come to Google and say "We're sorry we let this happen. We want to be better than that. Waymo and Uber have the same goals in mind, so let's work together." It'll be expensive, but it'll be cheaper than never having self-driving cars.

Step 3: Plan.

Come up with 1, 3, 5, and 10 year plans. Where does Uber intend to be at each of those milestones? How do they relate to each other? On what day is Uber profitable? How does Uber stop the bleeding? And are these milestones achievable while still meeting the cultural goals from step 1? If not, come up with better goals. If I can't find a way to profitability without meeting the cultural goals, I step down and let a better leader step up.

1. There is JNI. I made an example project[1] a while ago. I'll admit it's a little involved but it does exist.

2. Spec does solve the problem for me, but I don't really like static typing anyways.

3. I keep Clojure REPLs open for days. I restart if I need a new dependency and for other minor reasons, but startup time is almost a non issue for development. For scripting, you can try Planck, although yeah you lose the Java interop. I love Clojure, but I just don't use it for scripting.

Not trying to tell you you're wrong, just offering some insight into how Clojure could address (or not address) your points.

Late replying but... I completely agree. Tech types do often underestimate the importance of sales. They have a "if you build it they will come" mentality.

But as two counter points...

- I've seen business people make this same mistake. Although probably not as much.

- A technical CEO can hire and manage a non-technical hire (sales person) just as well if not probably better than a non-technical CEO can hire engineers.

As a technical CEO/CTO myself I recommend that one of your first hires when the project nears launch should be a sales person. If you wait until the project has already launched you're late and you will burn through capital while they ramp up and build a pipeline.

It uses both pre-human conditions and conditions in places humans have avoided (e.g. Chernobyl) to paint a picture of "What if all the humans disappeared all at once" in both short and long term.

One hot nugget: The lower-NYC subways would flood almost immediately, and the streets above them would quickly convert into canals (from saltwater erosion), but the bridges would last longer without maintenance than they would under normal human use (because the biggest damage to the bridges is from road salt).

Happy to see there are good learning resources for Clojure.

The more Clojure users out there, the better, since it is a Lisp language, and as more people learn and use Lisp, it will be more easy for them to also able to also use Scheme, Racket, Common Lisp, LFE and the other friends in the illustrious Lisp family.

This, in the same way people can easily learn C, Java, C++, Rust, by knowing just one of those four languages. Once you understand the syntax, it gets really easy.
I think if you were writing C, then Nim might be a good alternative. If you're writing C++, then Nim offers a lot of similar metaprogramming features; but it lacks RAII, which IMO is a monumental drawback. People may dislike C++ for many reasons, but RAII is a killer feature -- there's no question why languages like D and Rust adopted it.
I don't think there is a path for them to be a self sustaining business on the scale their valuation demands. With the investment money they have taken and the resulting growth expectations I don't think they can do much without disappointing their investors massively. If their valuation goes down a lot of employees will leave. I wouldn't be too surprised if they got bought by someone in the future.

There's an interesting proof of the impossibility of trisecting an arbitrary angle with only straight-edge and compass on Terry Tao's blog [1]. It's interesting because it is mostly a geometric proof rather than the usual Galois theory approach. The only major non-geometric part is that it depends on the fact that 3 does not divide any integral power of 2.

Here are formal proofs of the impossibility of trisection and of doubling the cube, using the Isabelle proof assistant [2].

No it's anyone who reads the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times or watches Bloomberg too. I'm pretty sure that includes much more than techies. Uber has been featured on the front page of both of those newspapers and not just recently.

The problem with "significantly over-pay" is that you end up with incentives for people to quit other low paying jobs and switch, which will force those employers to either significantly increase wages to match or more likely, automate the job. An another alternative is that there is a such a huge demand for jobs in new CCC that not everyone can be given one. How do you figure out who to give the jobs to? I would be very concerned about unintended consequences.

Ask HN: Would America benefit from free training in contract law?
Two related questions by me:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14478272
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14425213

Specifically, I would like to implement a set of boilerplate contracts along with modular definitions and terms to help define and protect some basic rights of both the buyer and seller in various circumstances. I would also like to invest in some educational videos to help people understand the issues at play.

I am inspired by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and the GPL, but contract law is fundamentally different than copyright law.

The Free Software Foundation has successfully provided education and legal tools to an entire generation of software engineers for copyright and patent law. I would like for similar work to be done in the contract law space to help people make better decisions.

As a follow-up, would there be real value in investing some of my limited time, effort and resources into this project or would I be better served by self-education around contract law.

Permanence - One of the beautiful things about these watches is they will be treasures for hundreds of years.

Hello author of the article here!

I will probably publish in some time (when I'm not so busy doing other projects) some code samples too but until that I can give you tips.

You should start inspecting how the pre trained models (Inception v3/v4) works, what kind of layers they have and then decide what layers you want to use and what not. In case of Tensorflow, the tensorboard is very good tool for inspecting the model inner layers.

If you want to get started even more easier you should probably take a look into Tensorflow Slim models (https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/slim)

There is quite beginner friendly instructions for simple fine tuning of the models and it should take you pretty far.

It's reasonable and expected for early stage hardware to be much more expensive than a later mass produced piece; both on the cost side and on the demand side.

If you release a v0.1 bleeding edge device, your per-unit costs are huge, and you also target it at people who really need or want it's specific functionality, and thus aren't price sensitive.

For any class of such technology the price comes down only when the tech is tested and mass produced. If anything, they should have sold it at $3000 or $5000 to get more feedback from its use as a small alpha/beta in practical niche domains where it's really needed, not as a consumer device used as a fashion item instead of testing its practical application.

The genius of AWS lies in a pricing structure that is easy to get approval for, and where developers once they've started using it are rarely aware of how much it costs...

I was 25 when I started professional software development, and once I joined a company with strong developers my typing really stuck out as poor. So when I was 30 I forced myself to learn touch-typing and I think it's been invaluable. It's certainly true that you do a lot of thinking when writing software, so I think there's an upper limit on how much typing speed can help you. But the ability to type fast really opens the door to making quick code changes, and in turn this really helps when you're trying to find a good programming approach. So for me, it's a skill that allows you to explore quicker, leading to faster feedback and better decision making. It also makes it easier to crank out any pesky emails/documentation that might come along, so you can get back to coding asap! I always advise any junior devs I meet to invest the time to get reasonably good at touch-typing, it just enables faster learning IMHO
This is the first concrete example I've read of the EU being drastically more pro-business than the USA. Very interesting.

Then why do I frequently get confronted by the religion of "inherent truth in math" and we keep teaching our children math made overly convoluted and unintuitive by the "rigorous" crowd? Pretending that this is only a minority is not helpful in quashing the damage done by magical thinking in mathematics.

An example in computer science is the whole P = NP nonsense. We have never found any evidence that P = NP, nor has anyone discovered a compelling reason why it should be. Yet, the first sentence on its Wikipedia page is:

> The P versus NP problem is a major unsolved problem in computer science.

"Unsolved?" Only in the perspective of the "rigorous proof" crowd which you imply are an unimportant minority. The truth is that P = NP is just another, as Dr. Zeilberger calls it, "stupid question."

He was afraid they would use the state to create laws in their benefit. Not that they could use market power to beat competition. Nothing in this paragraph indicates that he thinks markets by itself were centralized.
