Chiclet is cheap. That is literally the only reason other manufacturers followed.

As to your strange preferences, I cannot understand them. Buckling spring keyboards are far more tactile and I resent that I cannot get them on "premium" products any more.

We were one of the relatively early businesses to accept BTC as a payment option, and even though we only took a few hundred dollars worth of BTC in 2011, it boggles the mind what it would have been worth today.

> Personally, I go the other way. I send out resumes selectively, and run closer to about a 30% response rate.

That has been my experience as well; smaller, "boring" companies (that I still genuinely want to work for), project list attached to CV priorized according to the company -> response rate of > 70 percent

Domain experience helps tremendously, if only because it builds some rapport with the interviewer.

Deep customization of CV / project list is lost for larger companies because it never reaches a person who understands it, leading to the abysmally low response rate.
A département is not a suburb within a city - it's a large region of France, equivalent to a county in the UK, except with a totally different administrative setup.
(1) would make zero economic sense because you're adding an extra step to the process when you could just instruct the winemaker from which you import to do things the way you like, and as bathMarm0t notes it would require the addition of sugar or fruit juice so the yeast has something to work with, in which case you definitely cannot legally call it wine anymore.

(2) It might be out there, but I've never seen cheap wine advertising that it's been put in this or that kind of barrel for a particular amount of time. At most, they might put a barrel on the label to evoke the idea, which is fairly innocuous as far as false advertising goes.

If your interpretation of the OP is closer to what he meant, then really what you both are talking about is fraud, not common practice nor legal and definitely not likely to be true of the majority of "generic wine from our national alcohol store".
If everyone who should have bought bought then the prices would have been sky high so it's all irrelevant. I guess that's what's happening now. Looking forward to watching the shake out.
>and even looked at some related questions like "given a photo from a rolling shutter how can you tell how many propellor blades actually exist and how fast it is turning?"

I've seen some code (don't remember the website now) that gets you the non-rolled shuttered (sic) image from the rolling shutter one.

(It works to reconstruct a scene, but has issues at edges etc, so it's not really usable to fix a photo/video 100% -- but there are commercial NLE plugins that do reduce rolling shutter in post).
This is kind of amusing; they should add more currencies and maybe other types of assets. Although, as others have mentioned, the kind of thinking this encourages isn't healthy to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Very few important developments are driven by a fear of missing out.

I know it's not always accurate. But when I am looking at a resume of someone who has a master's in CS, I think either programming was an afterthought for them or, if they had been learning to code all this time, why didn't they go out and get a job long before they had time to finish a masters?

I was a pretty early user of Dropbox back when it was featured on this site. As much as I'm loathe to admit it since I don't like the consolidation of huge tech companies, I've pretty much completely abandoned them for Google offerings.

Google drive is just there, whether I wanted it or not. And that goes for anyone who's signed up for Gmail or YouTube (i.e. collectively 40% of the people I know). It's not quite as nice as Dropbox, but it's right there in that weird 9-squared popup menu every time I check my email.

Kudos to Dropbox for having made it to this point, but how long can they survive against free + connected to your email + everything you save on an Android? What if chromebooks get more popular? I wouldn't short them, but it's really hard to see a big win for them given the market dynamics.
Would you please provide the exact law? MAPS[1] is a non-profit specifically dedicated to gathering and allocating funding for such studies, and considering how long they've been around doing what they're doing, I'd say they've figured out how to bypass the stringent requirements and remain on this side of the law.

Full disclosure, I was involved with them briefly. The paperwork process needed to get the rights to run such trials lasts years, but they are eventually successful in making the studies a reality.

You are right, most people are not like that. How many people are? 1%? 2%? 0.5%? I work with hundreds of people, we have dozens of meetings a month, we might meet with over a thousand people a year in a large company.

Not throw in tough situations. People trying to cut legal/ethical/accounting corners to make their numbers. People hoping not to get caught. People doing whatever they need to to prevent getting fired. People trying not to be in the bottom 10% (and thus let go.) In the context of all this -- yes, people start using every tactic and social weapon in their toolkit. It takes 1 accusation and you are done.
> But aren't there whole government departments and other very big customers that are pretty much single-platform, usually Windows?

Would be interesting to know how much that class of customer uses services like this. I would assume primarily as part of a bigger package (e.g. if it comes with Office365 or Google Suite (or whatever that is called right now))?
>Wouldn't current electronics have the memory bandwidth needed to just sample the entire cmos sensor at once?

Don't CMOS sensors increase in pixel density (from a few megapixels to 30 and even 50 mp in some Sony full frame cameras today)?

If the camera sensors were made as just 4K resolution sensors it might be easier to scan it all at once in fast enough time (though we also increasingly ask for more slow-motion capabilities, which requires even faster frame rates).

Most of these countries are developing countries with low education levels so obviously it can't be broad, but of course in any country there will be a segment of the population who are well educated and/or affluent. Take China, most Chinese are dirt poor but because there are so many Chinese you can go to modern enclaves like Shanghai and never experience this poverty.

In general however return on investment tends to be high in developing countries because they lack so much. There are lots of businesses you can start with minimum competition. E.g. I've seen many stories about poorely educated Chinese getting rich in Africa. They start shops, facories and all sorts of stuff lacking

The first decision he took as a president is to renew the Etat d'Urgence (which suspends many civil liberties) while having campaigned against the "Etat d'Urgence permanent", which probably doesn't require a translation.

So there is indeed hope that he won't follow his campaign line to the letter.
On the other hand, finding ones old wallet is even more of a delight. I lost mine (luckily I kept the keys in a backup, but I forgot about it until now) somewhere around 2015, with about 20€. When I managed to recover it a few days back, I was happy to see that it was now nearly worth 130€!

And the best thing was that I didn't even spend a cent to buy the coins in the first place, but instead someone just gifted them to me on /r/Bitcoin when they were worth around 15€. One time it even fell down to 6€...

The only comment I will say about Dropbox is the price, I wish they would do a 100GB tier or something for £1.99 a month.

Snap Chat is by far the most social of the "social" media applications.

You really have to see how adolescents use it differently from adults to appreciate this. There is a sort of additional language to it in a similar vein to how we all used AIM and its ilk back in the day. For adolescents, who spend time together as you describe, they spend more time sharing experiences over SC augmenting their continuous in person interactions.

We are in danger of speaking past each other regarding the group and type of connection. But I absolutely believe SC is capable of Bri going people together. I do not believe that about any other Social platform. (Excepting blogs and podcasts but those are very different.)
I'm not saying that I'm one of those people. I'm just saying they're generally pretty consistent about these things and they exist.

>But that too is an extra expense, so you're not likely to see it on low end cameras (e.g., phone cameras).

Not so sure. Phone cameras are big selling points for phones, and have some hardware innovations (and access to much faster processors than the average "high end" DSLR/mirrorless), that , if we ignore the smaller by necessity optics, are in the same or even better league tech-wise to the average Sony/Canon/etc. Talking of course for flagship iOS/Android phones, not the average phone.
The popular theory for why the UP election was won by the BJP was that their candidates had advance notice of demonetisation and stocked up on lower-denomination notes (and later were the first ones to receive the new notes) whereas other parties were left with worthless stacks of old cash. I shouldn't have to explain why in India more cash to distribute means more votes.
Agreed. The fact that the site only supports Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ether makes me even suspect that it's only purpose is to fan the flames.

"The fleet of new coal plants would make it virtually impossible to meet the goals set in the Paris climate accord, which aims to keep the increase in global temperatures from preindustrial levels below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit."

I've been watching some lectures on climate change recently, all of the climatologist I've seen in the lectures were claiming that staying below 2℃ is impossible to achieve anyway.
Staying at 2℃ or less, requires around 2050 the world going into negative carbon emissions, which nobody know yet how to do exactly.
Maybe, but the ones on demonetisation and Aadhaar were not opinion pieces and came with plenty of citations to third-party news sources.

At least 20% of French people express capitalism-hostile opinions (and it goes well beyond Mélenchon voters). You face hostility as soon as you make money, with consequences ranging from being denied places in the kindergarten to the "petit Gregory" affair where the 5 years old son of a newly promoted team leader was drowned. I'm trying to show off as much as I can that I'm sponsoring poverty, donating a lot, making a lot for minorities, etc, because truth is, I'm afraid of getting mugged. People who criticize me, talking as if I belonged to the group of tax evaders, themselves don't have a clean business and evade taxes just as much as Greek citizen, so don't expect any rationality in their despicable criticism. Things can be so simple as, if you don't buy locally-grown groceries, you deserve to be told off in public for not helping the local population.

If you belong to the Christian minority, expect to be harassed by those you say "We need to respect all religions". Everyday you'll face jokes like "priests rape kids, followers are stuck-up, donating is worse than sponsoring a mafia".

President Macron himself is seen as a capitalist enemy by those 20-50%, and this Mélenchon group explicitly denies his legitimacy. There are currently very active groups and many of my friends are preparing the ground on Facebook (God knows what kind of riots they're preparing for September – you think I'm kidding? wait and watch).

French people are entirely hostile to privately-owned companies and average-wealthy managers, so, no, I wouldn't recommend my country for entrepreneurs, not until they make peace with a reasonable dose of capitslism. And that's where I have hope for Macron: If he does the right things, he may tame anti-capitalism sentiments a bit and show that hard works does bring money.

Better Software Design with Clean Architecture
> Sigh, that could have easily been implemented with a "use strict" directive.

You can already remove the implicit conversion in Python 2 (sys.setdefaultencoding(None)), it will break pretty much every non-trivial software as the standard library itself does not have strict separation and many of its "string" API operate on bytes.

> JavaScript has this strict mode, albeit to solve a different problem

That it solves a completely different and almost entirely syntactic issue is a bit of a difference there, you'll note that despite all of its changes the ES committee has refused to come even close to touching strings.
Nah, just bring a Model M to the office. Everyone will hate you, but a couple of words an hour will secure their belief in your productivity.
Taxes are not higher everywhere, and where they are higher it's usually because there is really awesome infrastructure and a social safety net and other stuff you would normally want to finance collectively. Compare, say, the homeless situation in Berlin to that in San Francisco... or compare pretty much any bus system anywhere in the developed world to MUNI.

One freedom Europeans have is freedom from fear of the police, i.e. I don't think there's any country in Europe in which you might have to fear for your life when you're not doing anything wrong and happen to meet a cop, regardless of your skin color.

Also I think there's more political freedom in countries where small parties play a role in government, i.e. you don't have to choose between the Democrats or Republicans or a symbolic protest vote.

And while this varies by country, there are places where you can be just as "off the grid" as in the US and the bureaucracy will never find you (or even try). But I wouldn't try that in, say, Germany.

Anyway, that said I wouldn't propose that an American is likely to feel "more free" living in Europe, probably the opposite, but in some things they probably would be.

> the ability to speak half decent French

After having lived and worked in multiple EU countries, I'm convinced that language is the single biggest barrier to true freedom of movement of workers in the EU. In Germany, for example, you cannot assume any daily task can be accomplished without the German language. You're then faced with either constantly dealing with communication problems with everything in your life, or paying the significant opportunity cost of learning a new language -- which you will likely never learn to high enough degree to fluently use in business, and which won't help you in the next country in which you live.

What is needed is a joint common language (English) that everyone in the EU learns starting in kindergarten and in which you're guaranteed state services in every member state. But there is no chance the French and German speakers would ever agree to that, it is like a religious issue.
There is research in all those topics you mention. It's just missing there. But you could contribute and extend the list if you are familiar with these topics.
It's a Coinbase commercial. Good work.
My use case is that I don't want iterating/indexing to yield the underlying byte representation, since that may end up slicing up a codepoint large enough to require multiple bytes.

I want the fundamental constituent unit of my strings to be the thing that the string is conceptually made of. When I'm ready to turn it into a sequence of bytes, I'll do that myself.
For the record, I have not emitted a check in France for at least the past 10 years. I might have cashed one or two.
Intel Labs did do some work on functional language implementation, including a Haskell compiler (backend): https://github.com/IntelLabs/flrc

I think the focus was on vectorisation rather than task parallelism, though. And it's been abandoned for years.

I'm not sure Intel's sustainability is uniquely dependent on parallel programming. In fact, given that Intel processors have the best sequential performance, one could even argue that it's to their advantage that parallel programming remains awkward.

SIMD = Single Instruction Multiple Data, meaning the same instruction being applied to multiple different values simultaneously. That's exactly what GPUs do.
Rose is basically a sweet white with a little bit of red in it, so it's not surprising they were on the fence for that one. As for the expensive red vs. the cheap red, I've found I actually prefer low-to-midrange wine over some more expensive wines. The higher or lower the price, the more of a crapshoot it seems to be.
What's your startup and where are you based?

Did you apply with the same idea all 10 times?

Looking for a random co founder on HN is a terrible idea. YC prefers co founders who know each other well.

FYI how many times you apply is irrelevant if you don't learn anything from the rejections and make no progress in subsequent applications.

And wtf in a CPO?

If you are looking for a CTO, does that make you the idea guy? That might explain the rejections. It looks like you applied 10 times with just an idea.
> Or may be deep down, we not really sure about our answers?

Because removal won't necessarily be decided by a scientist. It will be decided by someone appointed by the school board.

Also there are guidelines for removal of stuff on the basis of the "belief that the material is “pornographic”".

This has nothing to do with the certanity of science (which is not an absolute, anyway) or the fact that "deep down we're not really sure".

Interesting how the US is following Turkey here in phasing out evolution.

This is how the great Islamic empires of the past fell. They were open minded towards science and then there was a backlash from religious conservatives who started blaming all their problems on liberals.

The very same thing happening in the US. Religious conservatives pushing that the source of all American problems is liberalism and liberals.

There is not just an attack on science going on but liberal ideas like a free press. Increasingly conservatives see regular free press as fake news trying to undermine America itself. You see increasing calls for shutting up the media.

I believe America is a victim of its own success. The American dominance in so manu areas has bred complacency. One takes being a scientific powerhouse for granted.
