> I suspect all commonly used modern languages are English complete...

English is just one language, and while perhaps unusually expressive because of the amount of abuse it's received over the centuries, plus its ability to wholesale absorb new words on a whim, it is incapable of expressing some things with the same degree of succinctness and precision other languages have.

There are words in other languages that take a paragraph to explain in English because of all the cultural context they contain, or because they refer to things that most people who speak English have never seen, nor felt a need to describe with that degree of precision.

The problem with using English as a basis is it's very hard to explain in English what the language is incapable of expressing. This is like a fish trying to explain what they can do on land when the very concept of land is hazy at best.

I appreciate your recognition of my plea for a refresher in middle-school science. Most people can't perceive my pain in the midst of the sarcasm.
Yes, you're right. I was fixating on the wrong interpretation of your post. We do have exactly the problem you describe (startup time) and the cross-over analysis with RE2 ("How much data do I have to scan to catch a simpler compiler") would be interesting against libpcre or another backtracker.

Generally - if you can amortize the startup - we find that it's not that hard to outperform back-trackers. Some of this is chucking effort at the problem (writing SIMD implementations of some parts of the search problem) and could be replicated on the backtracking side of the fence. I do think it's simpler to make an NFA or DFA go fast, however, as the problem is very regular and predictable. The analysis of how you would do more than trivial SIMD optimizations on a true back-tracker break my brain. :-)
There's been quite a few to do hybrid architectures with one article suggesting AMD might do x86 + ARM:

It was also done the other way around with RISC workstations like Sun's running UNIX on SPARC coming with x86 cards to run their apps. I never checked it out to see what it was like but it was an advertised feature of SunBlade workstations. Additionally, IBM made PCI cards that could run their mainframe code on regular systems.

The best reason is that kids do very dumb things, and they take risks, without thinking through the consequences. The explosion in children exposing themselves, and getting entrapped by pedophiles into exposing themselves, not to mention the things they might say and do for attention, surely warrants some kind of monitoring. As a kid I had zero policing of my internet usage, perhaps that's why as a parent I will monitor and limit my children's access and usage. tl;dr the risks are too great not to police at least a little
It's a shame such a negative, snarky comment got so many upvotes. You could express disinterest in this parametric font stuff without doing it in such a nasty way.
Here's some reading to get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_and_intelligence#Lat...

Also - If you think the Flynn effect (measured increases in average IQ over time) contradicts the hypothesis that low-IQ people have more kids, you're confused. Both can be true at the same time, if the Flynn effect is due to environmental changes and not eugenic breeding (which seems to be scientists' tentative conclusion right now).
> if you can generate alpha on the strange "homomorphically encrypted" data they've got, you can do it in the actual market with transparent data and more control far more profitably.

Sure. Now go get "transparent data"...oh wait, that's also time-consuming (and much less interesting). That's why, if one doesn't have to search for tradable data, it might be interesting to validate a signal/strategy on data that someone with stake says is tradable.

Agreed that if one starts making numerai money with numerai data, one should definitely go get some transparent data and start trading it. Trouble is, now one doesn't know what transparent data one has actually learned, so it's hard to know what to go and spend time on trading.

At that point, though, (I guess this is the theory, at least), numerai presumably know that one has a good signal, and one also knows one has a good signal for something, so both parties know that one's signals are valuable. That should be enough to get one a job at a place that does have good, transparent data.
Your scenario will never happen because Apple indirectly employs millions of Chinese workers. Tencent has 38k employees.

The government's interests are more aligned with Apple than they are with Tencent.

Also President Xi Jinping is relishing the opportunity to "lead" on the global stage in terms of climate change, trade and globalization in general. He's never going to allow a ban of Apple over an inconsequential business dispute.
I wonder if Kalanick saw the writing on the wall and is getting out of the way of the oncoming train wreck, in order to set up a Jobs-style comeback at some point...
Instead of spending trillions bombing other countries, why not bomb the US? Think of the jobs created by rebuilding entire cities from rubble!
I really dislike the 'per month' monetization. I would rather be able to buy the decks that I'm interested in.
I'm collecting Chinese fonts for a project for a deep learning course.

Is there a tool where I can generate TTFs with different parameters to change the whole Unicode character set, not just ASCII?
Wait so first he demands Kalanick resign, then he resigns? Did he burn all his bridges, or was there some strategy here?

They are also a very large, non-homogenous business which has had some great people work for them as well as some very shitty people.

The best managers there are the ones who largely disregard the incentives placed before them and respect the complexities of working at such a large scale. It sounds like the people who would show up at your dad's were enabled by management who cared more about bottom line sales than understanding how to appropriately treat a supplier with limited volume.

I'm sorry this was the experience you had, but there are just as many talented, respectful, and generally honorable people that work there and I wouldn't want them to get lumped in with the scum. (Source, have worked at WM home office)
Inside Travis Kalanick’s Resignation as Uber’s C.E.O
More specifically: Women that are empowered and employed have opportunities other than raising children, and birth rates naturally decline.
I'm unsurprised. Kalanick has enough support on the board that I'd imagine they'd make it uncomfortable for Gurley to stay. The whole situation is fascinating as it has shown how important the soft power board members hold is. Strictly speaking, no one can force Kalanick or Gurley out, but out they are.
The true job creators are the people buying their products. The factories are just arbitrage between demand and raw materials.

Doesn't Uber operate in a ton of countries? Lyft operates only in the US, right? And even then, isn't Uber in more cities?

Lyft has no choice but to subsidize itself into extinction. If Uber pulled back entirely into the US alone then Lyft would be truly doomed. Only by spreading themselves thin does Lyft have a fair fight.

...like they can on the Internet. Unless... Even on the Internet... They have to fight themselves into a preferable "package" as created as the result of no net neutrality.
Do they nearly guarantee people will buy the app despite foreign competition? This sort of thing happens in China more than over here. U.S. consumers use or buy products from many places with significant percentage coming from China at some point. Something just being American sponsored doesn't usually cut it.
I hope this story puts to rest the weird obsession with Uber's business model as being the problem from the VC community's point of view. Even Uber's own investors thought the problem was culture.
The day care thing puzzled me. Surely either parent in between jobs could be at least 0.6 FTE home with the children? Is the father assuming that's not their role or being lazy about it? Schedule job interviews for the 1-2 days/week the kids are being cared for.

I'd also be cautious about trying to live away from family and friends who you can rely on for spot support with childcare, emotional support, etc. I know it's not feasible for all, but that cost would add up.
This visa is basically a slightly easier version of the existing E2 treaty visa.

The E2 visa is a non immigration visa and you must demonstrate your intent to not immigrate to the United States. Given this, the non immigration tenet of this startup visa is a non-issue.

Better worker protections.

Stopping immigration doesn't stop you from having to train your replacement, they'll just be American instead. Making companies have to treat their workers with a bit of civility will solve a lot of problems.
Balsamiq is nice for making something that you want to show to clients I.e. email or put up on a monitor. It's extremely inexpensive for what it does.

As a counter your point, I think a lot of professionals prefer something that is more likely be continually developed and supported in the future - a lot of free things go away

The MoBike official cost is about 3000 RMB(used to be 6000 at first). But there is some additional cost: the parts are not standard, and the design is totally new. When they produce more the cost will come down. I don't think such a bike worth 3000, but maybe true, they can be much cheaper to achieve better experience though.
Shared bikes should bear any weather or rude users, this
also increased the cost. And generally, your own bike is not supposed to be in rain storm very often..
This is a wild speculation, but is it possible that the Trump administration believes startups to be bad for the Rust Belt working class and other similar demographic they say they represent? For example, greater efficiency and automation could reduce employment of semi skilled people.

In the long run, this line of policies would of course lead to technological slow down and give a big opening for other countries to take the lead in a crucial determiner of economic successes.

Other possible theses may be that they favor the 'native whites' to have control as Steve Bannon used to mention or try to undo the legacies of Obama.
Depends how you define the system, but if the system is the broader community, then I'd say it's the system's problem. A debt spiral isn't going to lead to happier people, crime-free communities, etc.

There are probably some exceptions but in most businesses you could eliminate the CEO salary altogether and there wouldn't be enough savings to give "the workers" more than a very small raise.

Why do you think they can't get more investments? They just completed this report and now Travis is out; unless you have proof you can't say they didn't fix their issues. So not only have they shown concern to solving a major PR and culture issue but they're absolutely HUGE. If they IPO it could be an incredible exit.

Am I missing something? They seem far, far more investable now.

I'm no expert, but I have to believe that the next step has to be stabilize the patient.

- Cut back on actions and strategies that only make sense in the context of massive continued growth.

- Set prices to sustainable levels even though that means the buy-on-price segment of your customer base goes away. That's an ultimately unprofitable race-to-the-bottom segment you don't want anyway.

- At that point, potentially pull out of places where you don't have the critical mass to operate--especially in non-US markets where there are probably fixed costs to operate.

- Autonomous vehicles? That's going to happen over a decade or three timeframe that's utterly irrelevant to Uber even if a first mover advantage was defensible.

- And, yeah, the company is now far less valued to investors but it can potentially at least stay intact as a viable business.
Yep. After posting I emailed mods to ask and they said the same thing.
Also if you run into an adblock-wall, use Brave, it can skip around most of those.

I remain flabbergasted by all of this upheaval at Uber. What's happening is the sort of housecleaning I would expect if the company had to file for bankruptcy or got caught flat out bribing judges or something. But really, what triggered all this was acting like jerks.

It seems to me, what should have happened (a long time ago) was that they got shut down for systematically breaking the law, or encouraging others to do so. That would have made sense.

But instead they are getting flayed alive by not much more than bad press for being jerks. Makes no goddamn sense.
The so-called political aspect very relevant, after all it's policy being discussed.

The French tech visa programme remedies the problems with US tech visa that the OP listed, raising the possibility that Macron at least understands the role of government in innovation and technology conducive to attracting talent.

Trump is simply clueless and willingly so about these matters, even when surrounded by advisers. Yet mentioning this is "political" (euphemism for "I'm offended").
And it all comes down to syntax. `(if a (b) (or c d))` is so utterly foreign to most programmers compared to `if (a) { return b(); } else { return c || d; }`

That's a very strong claim without much evidence. Most programmers routinely deal with multiple syntaxes many of which are weirder than and less readable than lisp. A more likely thing is that there just isn't a sufficiently useful lisp.

Everybody is privy to the classified intel the IC has on the matter thanks to the many, many security leaks they've had in the past year. Nice attempt at the 'disqualify', though.
Reminds me of how we have perfectly good machines for automatically producing espresso drinks, but they still have Starbucks stores with baristas doing it manually on every corner. At least that's what I would have commented three years ago. My last two jobs have had espresso machines and I never go to Starbucks anymore.
On the other hand, if the only way you can stay in business is by deceiving your own customers, what you are running is a scam.
Definitely not, it was my struggles with getting better data that I could trust through the recruiting process that made the idea strike me in the first place.

I do also have to say, the resources that Chicago Booth provided for entrepreneurs were quite amazing, similar to what you would get through a high-quality startup accelerator. Their New Venture Challenge is also really great and gave us the initial boost we needed to get off the ground.

In my particular case, the company would not exist without me getting my MBA, but this is somewhat of a unique example.
The crash happened off-chain—most exchanges do not process transactions on chain as it would take several minutes for confirmations to go through—and thus is probably not connected to the Status ICO and network clogging.

What happened was a massive sell-off resulted in a significant price drop, causing margin orders to liquidate and successive drops in price. This previously happened last month with Kraken.
The Captain Ahab, I believe it's called.
it seemed like facebook was interested in d for a while, but then it also seems they dropped it in favour of ocaml

i think so, because i believe ocaml and d do compete, and it is clear facebook stopped using d and now used ocaml in several project, they even created reason

any idea why facebook dropped d

I wonder if Travis resigning was contingent on Bill Gurley leaving the board. As Bill seems to be the main anti-Travis actor on the board.
What's the main draw towards D? Who's using it in production?
You're assuming the current board didn't have this planned for a long time. Let them break the law to get things done, then clean house after the stage was properly set. I STILL think that people are downplaying the Otto thing way too much, especially on this site.

It's easy to say that they're going to win in court... but this is GOOGLE - they're going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars and likely a decade trying to win this thing. Google isn't going to stop until they've exhausted literally every legal avenue possible. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a good portion of this isn't Uber's board trying to save the company from that legal battle - fire Kalanick, boot *Gurley, then license the tech from Waymo that was previously stolen.
The video made no mention of sealing it, so its possible the article was incorrect. It's unlikely an original recipe involved sealing the vessel after heating.
This is an incredibly facetious example. You have to remember that the drug companies have effective monopolies for many expensive drugs. Do you actually believe that the government should be forced (by legislation) to accept unilaterally decreed prices by drug companies? These prices are not set by any market, so they have no relation to the cost of the drug or the research & development that went into discovering it.
"I don't have to leave my area to go look at the computer every time I need to look up something," Is a little more than just a bar code scanner.

Considering how important some seemingly minor assembly problems have been this is probably a lot more valuable than you might think as it reduces people guessing vs. going to the effort to look something up.
They have three lawsuits that can sink the company, given their runway.

They now have next to no leadership, and they still have no clear path to making money.

Their board is up in arms, their CEO stepped down, but still has full control.

If they want investment, it's going to be a down round. And their CEO will have to give up a significant chunk of the business. Even then, idk who else is left with the capital they'd need.

Tech industry employs hundreds of thousands of people, and that's California alone. That number gets up into millions if you include the United States ... And your proof are anecdotes??? Random? No. Self-selected to confirm your bias? Yes! Jesus. You have no idea do you? You just feeeel you must be right.

Edit:

I want to add that I'm genuinely interested in knowing if a) there is a problem and b) the scope of the problem. Tech industry is one of the most progressive out there and tech hubs are based in very progressive regions - so what are we talking about here? All I see is people like you who not only have nothing to back up their claims with but also want to push for insane policies based on non-existent evidence ( policies which you admitted will never hurt you due to your wealth ).
Good point, I understand what you mean now.
And Google does not need to win. At the scale of Google v. Uber, getting injunctions, delays, and bogging down Uber's self driving car efforts are valuable on their own.

I keep hearing this kind of talk about lisp. I've never actually written anything in it, but if you asked me why, it would have nothing to do with parens or syntax. It has everything to do with the fact that, for most purposes, Python suits me just fine, and for almost all other purposes, I want a language that compiles to machine code.

Lisps just don't bring much to the table. Their dynamic-ness brings overhead that is not justified unless you're doing crazy macro stuff, and ad-hoc crazy macro stuff is not easy to put into code without hurting readability and comprehension.
Yeah that... did the driver get arrested?
I had the same feeling at first, then I built a hobby project using Python, and it was too slow, so, I rewrote it in D

I really liked D after that, I felt I'm working with python but much faster.

one advice, never use printf function in D, use write() and writeln()
For all the future founders on HN, the lesson here is to never do business with Bill Gurley. He's one of the reasons AngelList exists. I hope his lesser known reputation finally catches up with him and forces him out of Benchmark and out of the VC industry entirely.
