I have much more trust in a company's product if it's their main source of revenue. Dropbox would probably die if they lost all their desktop users, but there's really no reason Microsoft even cares about this.

Anecdotally, OneDrive lost my changes to an essay twice, so I will certainly never use it again.
It's also marketing to ensure your product is included in their reviews.
Exactly. Better to figure out a novel way to use fewer sensors equally well (cheaper) or the same sensors to better effect (more results).

Those things are hard though, plugging a few sensors into a Pi, slapping a LAMP stack on it then creating a web interface and smart-phone app you can show the VCs is easy by comparison.
I'm passingly familiar. I'm not convinced. I can't really explain to you why. I feel like makes many assumptions about the architecture and workings of such a machine.

Do that for a few hundred well written articles and any site will rank well too.

There, no secret. That is the barrier to entry. 100 hundred well written articles will probably cost a good $10,000 on the mid/low end. Not many people want to spend $10,000 then see if Google will send them traffic.
Thanks for the article - as a guy in SV I want to understand these issues, and articles like this are illuminating.

I'm curious - unless I misread, you seem to be making the distinction that once someone is AN investor, then that's basically their role in the ecosystem and they are always acting with the responsibility as such, regardless of whether or not they may someday be or currently are YOUR (generically, as in, in relation to the person they're talking to) investor.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, and I'm curious about how others are interpreting and thinking about this.

The culture is balanced: analytical but fun, serious but sane. You will be joining a small, agile team with big challenges ahead of us.

If you are interested, check the job listing http://goo.gl/AoUW1M or drop us a line at swe-position@thinkful.com to hear more.
An alternative outcome might be that sensor prices drop due to mass production with more adoption.
Thanks for your honest post. Really appreciate your effort in sharing this experience. I think the title itself was a def click bait.
I run kops in production, and while we've had issues, the authors are responsive and super helpful. The problems we've encountered have more frequently been with k8s itself than kops; mostly been fire and forget except when I've gotta debug which experimental feature I tried to enable broke kops' expectations (or just broke). Ping me in the channels @justinsb mentioned if you want advice.

We're at three live and two dead (decommissioned) clusters with a two man team, and while we regret some decisions, most of the time it just works.
I guess the majority of HN readers don't eat Hamburger Helper...
I recently started testing kubernetes using kops and was pleasantly surprised how explicit it was about exactly what changes it would make in AWS. If you get past the testing phase and want to use it conjunction with your existing production infrastructure, I found AWS's VPC peering to be a handy way to let your k8s cluster talk with existing services while keeping the kops-created VPC separately managed.
Constrained Policy Optimization
Actually, those two bits are pretty small. Theres a ton of code all over github for interacting with Robinhood. The twitch chat API is really just IRC. Glueing those together was the easy part.

The more interesting and complicated components are the UI and the scheduling and a publish-subscribe module that I created, tho no plans to open source it anytime soon.
This is a good tutorial, but there are a few misconceptions / mistakes:

> Avoid nils
>
> Datomic does not support nil values for attributes. When you do not have a value for an attribute, you should either skip it or pass an empty value: a zero, an empty string, etc. That’s why the most of expressions have (or "") at the end of threading macro.

Datomic doesn't support `nil` on purpose: since it's a fact database, the correct approach is to not assert the attribute (iow, just omit it). Since the schema is a property of the database (not the entity), this makes your database forward-compatible to any new fact that you may need to store without having to be explicit about the past.

You can also use `(missing? ?entity :attribute)` on queries, which should do a faster lookup on the EAVT index vs. checking for sentinel values.

> JSON data
>
> In Datomic, there is no JSON type for attributes. I’m not sure I made a proper decision, but I just put those JSON data into a text attribute. Sure, where is no a way to access separate fields in a datalog query or apply roles to them. But at least I can restore the data then selecting a single entity:

You can flatten a JSON object into a namespaced map. At this point you get what is essentially an entity w/ well named attributes that you can transact and query against. Since the schema is flexible and doesn't require migrations, in theory you can support even arbitrary objects that you don't know the schema in advance by inspecting the deserialized object.

---

Datomic is a beast different enough to require some learning on what is optimal/idiomatic in terms of data modelling, because the paradigm shifts from appending/mutating tuples over multiple tables to asserting/retracting facts on what is essentially "one big table" (entity, attribute, value, transaction).
AirPods are freaking awesome, I'll say that much.
When has this happened previously? I'm not sure what you're implying.
And a woman's place is in the home, no doubt.
Even if your physical sensor is made of little squares, they cease to be squares once you've converted them to single readings - you've integrated the square into a single point. This is the basis of sampling theory. Continuing to think of them as little squares leads you to bad intuitions such as the resampling algorithm that we're responding to. Maybe there's a better way to make that point than the cited paper, but I haven't seen it yet.

Whether pixels are on the half-integer points is a completely arbitrary decision, unless you're trying to mix raster and vector graphics. Then the correct solution will become obvious.

I've been burned by the Amazon Affiliate Program on three separate occasions, and as a result I would not recommend it to anyone else. All three cases were for completely legitimate, high-quality websites that I created (all original content, decent traffic, good conversion rates, no gimmicks). Each time, I would be approved for the program, generate a few hundred dollars in referred sales over the space of weeks or months, and then Amazon would send me a message that my account had been terminated (and of course, no way to get any of the commission I had earned).

Each time, they pointed me to a part of the agreement that says you need to have "original content" that isn't primarily just ads. In each case, I know the content was original (I created it: mostly articles about DIY electronics, 3D printing, etc), there were no other ads on the sites other than a few (2 or 3 per page) affiliate links where I mentioned products that I had incorporated into my own DIY projects.

I wasn't able to get any further explanation from Amazon in these cases, so I don't even know why they kept shutting down my accounts - and I guess that's what concerns me the most. Even if they hadn't shut me down when they did, the fact remains that they could, at any point in time, shut down or significantly alter the terms of our "agreement" at their (seemingly arbitrary) will.

> You can download all the docs and source, and you can learn it in as much detail as you want.

That doesn't mean the technology is easier that just means the reference material is more accessible. In fact, I'd argue that in a lot of cases the technology is harder and therefore more reference material, stack overflow answers, and source code reading is necessary.

> Googling was necessary because you were a beginner.

Of course. But many of the answers I found were sort of black magic. The Android project layout is at least 5 times more complicated than it should be. And even many of the answers were not that old and already out of date. I definitely felt that many of the issues I encountered could not have been just figured out my own.

When getting your developer tools and documentation required a CD there was a lot more care put into everything. It feels these days that everything is built on an ever shifting house of cards.
I believe a while ago the sandstorm people spoke to LE who advised that it wasn't a good idea.

I'll stand by the assertion that vhosts are probably still better off with a wildcard cert if it's the difference between a single server using a single cert vs a single server holding thousands of certs. In a node compromise it's the same either way. If different servers are serving different subdomains then sure, subdomain certs are the better way to go.
Yes, any separable filter causes grid artifacts that can be partially ameliorated by using a radial filter.

My own pipe-dream is that we would use a triangular grid (if you like, the Voronoi cells here are hexagonal pixels) for intermediate image representations. This is more spatially efficient and has nicer 2-dimensionnal frequency response than a square grid, and displays are so heterogeneous nowadays that we need to do some amount of resampling for output pretty much all the time anyway, and our GPUs are getting fast enough that resampling at high quality from a hexagon grid to a square grid for output should add only relatively cheap overhead.
It's one thing taking a day off for mental health, but what if the job itself is contributing to said mental health problem?

We also need to address treating employees as humans not workproduct producing AWS instances.
God. I did all this years ago, even wrote a masters thesis on formal verification. And I can actually not remember a single time when this was actually useful, other than perhaps really obnoxious interviews. Don't get me wrong, it's interesting, and if you get through this and understand the matter it will make you a better computer scientist. But it's really not very applicable at all.

I expect freshness and taste/heritage to be a greater selling point than pure labor intensity. A megafarm halfway across the country may use equal cultural practices, but the produce can't be as fresh as the farm just a bike ride away, and for many crops freshness translates to flavor.

Moreover, a megafarm would like to grow the latest and greatest in crop genetics, bred for standard beauty. Small farms are better able to grow the varieties that have been around decades, taste better, and are less perfect and ship poorly or are only exciting to a few people. Or, small farms can grow the newest small-breeder varieties bred for flavor or amazing exotic looks: I'm a big fan of Wild Boar Farms' new tomato introductions, but most people would never buy a mostly-black or an outrageously striped tomato.
Yep, could be a great opportunity to study the attackers by fronting each plant with a honeypot whilst making sure the real systems are air-gapped and require a two people with physical keys to insert a USB stick into the one system that has them.

Another reason blue color jobs might be stricter about attendance policies is that many rely on someone's physical presence. If there's nobody there to make the sandwiches, the sandwich store can't open. If I'm not there to make progress on my code on a particular day, who cares.

I guess I don't understand the distinction you're talking about. Are you saying that people would be inclined to pay more for food they knew had more human hands involved in it?

It's a bizarre future, but I guess we're already seeing people pay 25x for a hand bag if they know it was made in a conflict-free village or something of that nature. I suppose its only natural that our abundance will begin to allow us to start making those sorts of luxury designations for our food as well.

You have a point with "heirloom" varieties which will not get the attention from large-scale farming.

The freshness point, I would contend that vertical urban/sub-urban farming could potentially deliver better with regard to some fresh produce and some fresh fruit/berries --not all, obviously, but many of the best selling items --better because they can grow more with more uniform product. The qualifier is potentially, if economics work out.

Obviously harvests which require large trees are out of the question --you can't commercially grow a mango grove or apple orchard in a vertical farm.
I don't think anyone would ever bat an eye at a 3 month gap in the resume.

I'd love to see vips in the benchmark comparison, perhaps a Halide-based resizer too as those are the fastest I've found so far. Perhaps GraphicsMagick too, as I believe it's meant to be faster than ImageMagick in many cases.

This. We know how to build secure systems, but VCs won't fund the effort unless there's profit to be made and existing software will run on it. That second criterion especially means you're going to have to dumb down either your security or your performance to the point that there's no real value added.

I've come to the conclusion that the only realistic approach to security is to begin a slow, methodical replacement of every line of C code in the Linux kernel with Rust. No VC is going to pay for that, so some other funding mechanism will be required.

Cameras are pretty cheap and already mass produced like crazy. The expensive part is the processing you need to extract high level information from the pixels. That's why we need cheap neural net ASICs.
>"That's because there are a lot of awful, unprofessional programmers out there trying to get jobs and we need a way to filter them out."

And asking people to "to reverse a binary tree via Hackerank or asking people to spend 4-6 hours on a "homework assignment" does very little to filter awful or unprofessional people.

>"All of this was happening 8 years ago, it was even worse then with "why are manhole covers round" levels of stupidity."

No that was the beginning. The beginning of the "Google does this so we should too" mentality.
I love this idea. Waste Management is the big player in my region, and I've been very dissatisfied with them. They'll jack up the prices, I have no confidence that their 'single stream' collection results in effective recycling, and their pricing is completely opaque.

I mean it's true. The purpose of IIHS's tests aren't to prop up the egos of car manufacturers.
This, more than any other factor, should warn anyone away from the new company.

To give some perspective, older model Jawbone earphones were so good that when the quality in the newer models began its terminal decline, a lot of customers, myself included, were so unbelieving we all kept buying and returning the new models. You can see it from the Amazon reviews. I finally accepted they were not coming back from their decline, and started looking for a new manufacturer. The closest one I could find with the same quality sound that I had come to love from the old Jawbones were $1K USD sets that were super bulky, made for the military. If I knew Jawbone would have tanked their quality so badly, I would have stocked up on more of the older models off of eBay (which were selling for more than retail at one point).

I'm hoping a pair of AirPods will bring me back to the wireless earphone user base. If any other Jawbone readers found they experienced the same as I described and found a great replacement, then please reply here.
>Tesla quickly responded saying IIHS has "motivation that suits their own subjective purposes."

>It's also worth noting, the Tesla Model X did very well in the same crash test—and Tesla was quick to brag about that vehicle's IIHS safety rating.

Now, which is it then?
It's exactly that distinction I'm making. Oftentimes automated machinery is better at making things than humans at making the same (furniture, cars, shoes, etc.) but people like buying "crafted" items for various reasons (vanity, support of craftspeople, local economy, what-have-you).

However, the main point is some farmers will find some kind of marketable distinction bigger operations won't be able to leverage (labor intensity or small production varietals "heirloom", etc.) Something which would allow them to fetch a better price and make them viable as a business)
Hence the qualifier "with exceptions". This could be elaborated but again, not trying to convince anyone, was just pointing out that being anti-abortion doesn't have to be based on religious beliefs.
