They mention using a single Indian supplier and designing for that supplier as an advantage. Where I work we wouldn't be allowed to do that - always want at least two different suppliers so we don't put ourselves at risk.

Hope it works out for them - seems like a fun little car.
This should not be downvoted. One sees the source before the colon more often than after the colon, but it is common to see the source after the colon in some publications.

As one of the perpetrators of gengo, we focused on simple, fast, and dirty. We wanted something a little higher level than Go AST to deal with types (for gen), and we knew we wanted to gen a ton of code.

Some of the Kube code generation would not be solved by generics (or at least, not obviously) such as our API conversion logic which defines arbitrary transforms between structs and generates the rest. The others (proto, defaulting, etc) would.
The manga Hellsing features a character named Alucard who is no relation to the Castlevania Alucard. This Alucard is, in fact, Dracula himself, who was defeated by Abraham van Helsing and, rather than accept destruction, swore to be a servant of the van Helsing family, who employ him as a powerful weapon against the undead.

I mention this because it seems HIV is the Alucard of immunological treatments: a terrifying incurable disease which we now use as a potent weapon to fight other diseases. The thing that made it so terrifying -- its tendency to attack immune cells -- also makes it incredibly fit to purpose.
It was absolutely disclosed all over, so I'm not sure if this is simply the commentor being wrong (most likely) or a weak jab at Apple.

Why does the article say there are 2^N different possible configurations? Shouldn't it be N! ? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how they can rule out so many different orderings of the "configurations", since he started out by saying that the ordering wasn't reliable.

Edited: I figured it out. It's because they essentially do a binary search of the changes to find the issue, I should have read a bit further before commenting. The tables / examples cleared it up pretty quickly.
Which might be controlled by immune ablation; safer targeted forms of destroying all immune cells would be a very good way to stop all forms of autoimmunity, and would act as a good backstop to immunotherapies in general.

Right now immune ablation is pretty rough chemotherapy, but has nonetheless been shown to put multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes into remission. There are new approaches to targeted cell killing under development now (such as Oisin Biotechnologies' system) that should be much better, with minimal side-effects. Couple that with a cell therapy to accelerate replacement of immune cells and it looks pretty promising.

I did my startup while taking care of my parents and briefly paying ourselves very little. It sounded illogical to a lot of people. One of my friends honestly asked me if I'm doing the startup because I couldn't find a regular job (???). After a nice exit a large part of me is still itching to try again.
That ceremony looks monstrously tiring to an introverted westerner like me. I don't want to cut a cake and watch a priest bless my car; I want to walk onto a lot, look over the car I pre-selected online to make sure it's the right one, and then give someone some money and drive away.

I'm also wondering how long that friendly attitude - and the traveling pop-up repair program - will last. Once everyone wants one of these, you no longer have to cajole people.
> Why can’t firefox combine the search and address bar like every other major browser?

Because they don't want to send all your keystrokes in the URL to your search provider just so you can get autosuggest. So there is one bar that does autosuggest and a different bar where you can put things that your search provider should not see.

Obviously Chrome doesn't have that problem, since they _want_ your search provider to see all the URLs you visit.
I think you miss the point of the article, which is about Renault finding in India an opportunity to be as disruptive as Tesla is in the First World, with diametrally opposed products, but similar appeal to their respective markets by proposing an affordable yet radically new product.
Ask HN: How to monetize our open source projects?
Hey guys! First of all, I am not trying to do some shameless plugs but I am really asking for your advice.
My employer’s original business is/was project-based work. Our first step into a product business has been a bit depressing as the product (plug-in for connecting Confluence to Exchange) were not highly requested.
Our second try has been more successful. We are providing paid support licenses for our open source project [1] to finance the ongoing development.
Other internal projects, like [2] or [3] are available for free but we did not make any marketing yet. And this is the point why I am posting this:

- Are we missing any chances in our service description or plans for [1]? Like not providing any service a customer might want?

- As you are - with high probability ;-) - a technical person: Is there any chance to monetize [2] or [3] or is it “too niche”? I am afraid that we are investing time and money into it and not getting any revenue.

- Do you have any general advices how to grow a business with open source products?

I really appreciate your comments!

This! Especially the 'solves a problem or offers a service'. Any company without a viable plan to create surplus is a failure waiting to happen. It's why most startups fail... their purpose is to be a startup first, create a surplus if they luck out, or be flipped into a bubble market.
I totally agree with this - starting by bootstrapping is a great way to get your feet wet while maintaining a stable salary
Apple and many tech companies are a world where association is everything. “I work at Palantir” means a lot. “I work at Uber” at the moment may be both positive and negative.
The academic world is not like this at all. Paper count is everything. Churn them out with all the power you have. Most universities allow their teachers to take sabbaticals on the hope (and sometimes mandate) that they will publish. So Apple was not going to find many academic researchers who were okay with not being allowed to interact in the same way with their community.

Although, I think that you can potentially lose a bunch of stuff, depending on how you use your phone. Like any app sideloaded or installed through another app store, the extra data chunks that lots of games download, data created by apps (subject to developer settings), loose files being stored on the phone, etc.

I know that when I switched phones last year, there were a lot of manual steps moving between devices (the HTC transfer mechanism worked for most of that, but I still ended up moving some files manually).
> it may be that you would rather not spend all that money twice

Maybe. My point is not about how you manage your budget, but how you make an app with the available budget for the app.

If you need those features then you can't really afford 2 native apps either.
A similar story I recall was that shuffling a deck (by hand) vs randomly sorting cards. It's more likely that the values were TOO random and resulted in a less enjoyable experience (or the player wanted to blame someone other than themselves).

I went looking for a video I recalled about a craps player able to choose what he'd roll. I didn't fint it but I did find:
https://www.insidescience.org/news/dice-rolls-are-not-comple...
humans have an odd relationship with randomness. iTunes had to de-randomize their shuffle system, because it was too random (i.e. you could get the same song back to back etc, purely randomly). We tend to see patterns that just aren't there. I'm not surprised his player complained.

Sure.

When you're financially secure, it isn't a big deal to live out of your car and climb a few mountains for shits and giggles.

But what does that have to do, prescriptively, with the reverse situation, when you aren't financially secure? Very little.
But then you have kids, and kids require stability. So you go to work for the man, because the kids are more important.

The best way I have seen to describe net neutrality to laypeople was uttered by John Oliver: "preventing cable company fuckery".

A good example: like the water company suddenly saying that you're not allowed to use your water to fill reusable water bottles, unless you pay a further monthly fee, but they do have a partnership with Dasani to deliver water bottles to your door for cheaper than the store price.
I agree with most of what you wrote, but I will say that people outside of the scene might not realize how common it is for founders to raise a couple million in seed funding, then pay themselves a market salary (I've seen as high as $350K for a CEO of a ~10 person company), removing most of the downside.

I'm not saying this is advisable, but it's common.

I was just watching on ViceLand an episode about the Indian (non-existent) sewage system. Millions of people there have no sanitation facilities and deficate anywhere, where possible. And are living of a few dollars a month. It's really worthwhile watching, btw.

So talking about "quality cars" for $4000 here seems totally surreal. And that that would be disruptive is even more of a strange observation.

The author sure has an interesting story to tell, but the conclusions, title etc of the article shows of actual lacking good journalism/storytelling.

Never read anything in R.
Sorry to hear it was such a struggle for you, I didn't mean to be condescending in my previous comment. I guess from your comment Fortran isn't as easy to learn as I thought - I'll remember that in the future.

The fact that 'the standard' has a different meaning in Fortran compared to other languages is indeed frustrating (see 2008 standard conforming status of various compilers here [0] as of Apr 2016); however, that being said backwards compatibility is taken very seriously, so learning the basics of 90/95 isn't a waste compared to the later versions of the standard.

I'm not sure why there isn't a better focus on a thorough introduction. I learned Fortran as I have learned all languages - with great frustration. Fortran hasn't been any different for me in that regard.

BTW, here's a great resource I've found helpful in the past that does a great job of comparing Fortran to Python (e.g great if you have a numpy background).

Good question.

Wholeheartedly agree that the burden is ours -- not the developer's -- to make sure a number is clean before you buy it. We monitor inbound activity for two months before making a number available for sale. <Reject> is not for spam that comes with a number when you buy it -- it's for all the stuff that happens after you put that number out in the wild.

More than that though, we can't reveal historical patterns because we'd be violating the privacy of whoever previously owned the number.

To developers and designers "rendering issues" equate to anything "not the same as my primary browser". Obviously bugs can be to blame but they could be due to different interpretations of a vague standard or somebody decided to do what they felt was right instead of what the standard says.

Agreed, but it sounds like this project was for fun and to make users happy, not to actually guarantee true randomness.

I would wager the amount of wear on the dice, and small flaws in each individual die, produce a non negligible bias to the rolls that could be avoided by using cryptographicly secure random sources.

If they start using these dice to generate cryptographic keys, I'll run for the hills, but so long as they are only used for playing board games over the internet, this is really cool.
Your comment would be irrelevant if it weren't also meaningless.

What makes you think AWS would be necessarily be faster or more reliable? If done correctly, think a decentralized system could be significantly faster and more reliable than even the best centralized storage solution.

For example, with a decentralized system files could be broken up into shards and distributed across multiple nodes, so unless a significant percentage of computers on the planet all melt down at once your data would remain accessible (i.e. zero downtime). That would also allow downloads to be parallelized across multiple connections like with BitTorrent, meaning bandwidth wouldn't be an issue either.

And that's not even considering the effect that a commoditized pricing system would have on the costs of a distributed storage solution. I imagine it'd be significantly cheaper than AWS too, as storage would be sold at a price very close to costs.

I'd love to see a comparison done on the news pieces we're reading today about CAR-T and compare it to the news stories a century ago as penicillin was discovered and began being used as a treatment.

This kind of thing always seems a lot more magical in hindsight, but then, I wasn't there, and maybe it really was amazing. Most of the time though, when people get heavily into a drugs or drugs for a while, it tends to get a bit squalid. I'm not talking about a shooting gallery or a crack den or anything, but when you're not really "here" most of the time, "worldly" concerns seem to slip by the wayside.

Congratulations on a successful treatment! It is so wonderful to hear stories like these. Immuno-oncology is bringing great hope to mutation-rich cancers like melanoma.

>I'm certain that Big Pharma doesn't like these treatments.

You would be certainly wrong on that part. Immuno-oncology has been "Big Pharma's" major focus for the past 5-10 years, inspired in no small part by the work of Rosenburg and many others. One of the most recent approvals discussed on HN was for a CAR T-cell targeted against CD19. Big Pharma would also be very happy to sell immune checkpoint inhibitors for use in combination therapy with adoptive cell transfer.

Your entire comment seems to be about C. But you asked about Go. C's type system is classically considered "weak" and Go's is considered "strong." This isn't controversial, insomuch as "weak" and "strong" have meaning in the first place. C will perform some implicit conversions between types for you. Go won't. That's the difference that causes one to be considered weak and another to be considered strong.

Any two type systems can be meaningfully compared. My comparison was exceptionally broad and seems perfectly consistent with everything you said.
