>But when is an organization with clout, such as YC, going to take a stand on this issue?

Given the current state of things, you could say they already have. The market has decided that younger engineers are more in demand because they are more willing to accept lower wages and longer working hours. If you can get 90% of the talent for 50% of the cost, it's just business. This holds true across many industries.

This is all great.

In the short term, the sticking point is the cell contract.

If there is a reasonable add-on price to your existing phone rate, this is going to catch on. The more reasonable the rate, the quicker it will catch on.

Longer-term, the standalone service contract (Watch-only, no phone) will become more significant. People don't have an intrinsic urge to carry a rectilinear slab in their pocket... they have an intrinsic urge to communicate with each other. As a watch form-factor becomes more convenient, they will happily switch, in droves.
The learner has to do most of the work, no matter how you structure the classroom. It's just a question of having them do productive work.

Giving lectures and having students do problem sets at home still has the students doing a ton of work, but the instructor's expertise isn't utilized efficiently. By having students watch videos/do pre-reading and then work problems in class, the instructor can actually help people how they need it.

You aren't paying someone to do the work for you. You're paying someone to structure the material in a way that helps you learn it. Think of it like you're paying a chef to prepare a meal that you have to chew. They aren't paid to baby-bird it to you.

"Why is tuition so high" is a really contentious question. Not many of those dollars go to instructional staff (I assure you their salaries have not grown alongside tuition). Where has the extra money gone? Buildings, administration, athletics, who knows...

Oh, so basically scripture then.
You may be right that thinning during maturation could serve a purpose, but if so you have the effect backwards: thinner myelin should mean higher capacitance (C ~ A/d) and slower conduction velocity. One would expect, if anything, that the myelin would need to get thicker as the limb lengthens. Perhaps nerve fiber diameter also increases with maturation---which also results in faster conduction velocity---and the myelin sheath thins to compensate.
Ask HN: What is your process when you have a product idea?

That's a bit of a flip off isn't it?

What I have to say is based on my professional experience. Don't like it? Tough. Luck. You had a different experience? fair enough. You want to call it an opinion thread? Well, you know what they say. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one...
Any time you buy, there's a counterparty selling, and vice versa. If they had not bought or sold on their end, they would have made the money rather than you.

That's all I was trying to say. Obviously this is simplistic and there are many reasons why someone might rationally be fine with being on the losing end- they might have something else better or less-risky to do with their capital, for example, or they might be a market maker that is not interested in holding anything long-term, etc.

I think that's a good example. Yes or no, is the world "round"?

Well, it's sort of a very slightly lumpy oblate spheroid... it also ties into whether we agree on what "round" means.

There's a knowledge problem involved - when answering a question you really have to understand the knowledge and intent of the speaker, establish a conversational frame.

The first years of university are often spent learning certain "facts" and theories, which are technically incorrect (but useful), which will be torn down and shown as approximations later.

Even things that look like "hard" facts are very often a matter of perspective.

Oh? What happens if you refuse to pay it?
I definitely agree that this kind of tool is complex to build. We have our own model, which I have developed over a few earlier iterations of what we have available now, and we use it to draw all the objects to the canvas.

Generally speaking, there are two types of changes that we deal with. There are the changes that are very important, which don't happen very often, and then there are changes that are not very important but happen quickly. For example, when a user drags an object, each movement of the mouse is of the second type, while the final release is of the first type.

We make a distinction between what a user sees and the underlying "document" that a user is editing. When a user moves an object, we don't update the document until the user releases the move. However, we do send data to other devices so that anyone who is watching still sees the object being moved.

The author rightfully acknowledges that "it is a decision that cost me some short term profits early on".

But I also know people and companies that were so nice and generous that people and customers learned to bleed them to figurative death. It's worth noting there might be some survivorship bias here.

No it's purely political. A good economy keeps people from asking for changes from their government. Like a new one or a voice to change policies.
> As far as I can tell you can’t step through tests in the debugger

Maybe I am missing something, but that is not correct. You can debug tests the same way as you debug any other code. Even works with the mentioned/used Go extension for VS Code.
Not as much as you'd think. Companies like Google and Facebook have government contracts and even if they didn't it would be trivially easy for the administrative state to attack them with tax or anti-trust law.

They'll do what the government wants them to do, as long as it doesn't threaten the bottom line.
We don't know the facts of the case yet and the government has released no evidence. This could all just be a massive FBI whoops as the FBI does from time to time. Or he could be completely innocent and the FBI is just using the threat of criminal prosecution to exert pressure to get him to inform on friends or contacts. We can't judge until more evidence is made available.

A general question not directly related to the case: Where exactly is the line between criminal conspiracy and writing software tools?

Certainly TOR is used by people to do bad things (and also good things), but almost everyone agrees that no criminal act has been committed by the creation of TOR. Plenty of legitimate businesses sell Remote Access Trojans (RATs) and go unarrested. On the other hand some developers that sell RATs have been arrested.

If someone pays you 2,000 grand to find an exploit have you committed a crime? What if then they use that exploit you sold them to commit a crime? What if you knew beyond all doubt that was their purpose but then the exploit isn't used? Does it matter if they bought an exploit from you or if you are a salaried employee of their company? What if instead of selling them an exploit you configured an email server for them?

Encapsulation isn't _that_ useful.

In Go it has real runtime cost as unlike C/C++ (you have an optimizing compiler) [1] , and in Java/C# you have the JIT which will optimize out your method calls over enough time.

A lot of FP languages are perfectly fine building Abstractions without getters/setters. But in OOP land people believe this is a requirement. 2/4 OOP _principles_ encapsulation and inheritance have aged like dirty sweat socks in a hot gym locker.

> They require whole-warehouse shutdowns every time a single piece of inventory falls off a shelf.

I'm currently working in an 800,000 foot Amazon warehouse that uses Kivas, where inventory falls out of the bins constantly, and they don't even shut the whole thing down if the pods crash into each other. They just shut off a section of the pods and send someone in to clean the mess up.

I'm not saying there aren't problems - I could go on a rant about the issues I've seen with their internal software and UI design, not to mention bin design and the way it seems pods are allocated - but it doesn't seem to be that broken.
> I don't know why all of the sudden its considered "Around the corner"

Because at the end of the Summer hundreds of millions of users will upgrade to an OS that has the ARKit API built in and developers will have a standard solution that works well. That's with the hardware out now, enhanced AR friendly sensors will probably start shipping on the new iPhone and then in subsequent model years it's anyone's guess.

I bought a custom-built Rzyen-based PC around Easter, and I have experienced some issues with it; I am not sure, though, were to put the blame (CPU, motherboard/firmware, operating system (which is openSUSE Tumbleweed)).

Under heavy load, the machine has performed most gracefully. However, the machine does freeze (almost) completely when left idle for a while (usually > 1 hour). When it happens, it sometimes still responds to pings, but nothing more; if I try to ssh into it from my laptop, I do not even receive a TCP ACK.

Unfortunately, I guess, there is no Kernel Panic, so no memory dump I could inspect or send to somebody who actually knows how to make sense of it.

On the upside, I have gotten into the habit of putting the machine into standby when I leave it alone for more than a couple of minutes, and I was pleasantly surprised that Suspend-to-Disk is a very acceptable option with an M.2 SSD. ;-P

Asus (who built my mainboard) releases firmware updates (which include microcode updates) on a fairly regular basis, so I hope this problem will be fixed eventually. I knew there was a risk of something like this happening when I got this machine, and overall, I am not disappointed. Otherwise, I am _very_ happy with the machine.

If you really insist on the NIH approach to updates, check at app launch time, or once every 24 hours at most for long-running apps..

Highrise - Durham, North Carolina | Lead Backend Developer (Scala) | ONSITE | Full-time | Relocation to Durham | https://highrise-inc.workable.com/jobs/513323 | Highrise connects the world through games

Highrise (http://appstore.com/highriseyouravatarcommunity) is the leading avatar-based social network on iOS. Every day, over 100,000 people use our application to make friends, keep in touch, decorate avatars and rooms, and chat. We are committed to providing a warm and comforting environment for people from all walks of life in Highrise.

As Lead Backend Developer, you'll be the first non-founder engineer on the backend team. The role is highly independent and will be working closely with our cofounders on all things backend. We have a strong engineering culture with an extremely capable and experienced team. The entire Highrise mobile app was built single handedly by our CTO, with the entire server backend written by our VP Eng. We are looking for an engineer and developer of the same caliber to join our team to take Highrise to the next level.

The role is fast-paced and independent, with a focus on results rather than on direct oversight or management. The role will require learning new tools, languages, algorithms, techniques and much more. Our backend is modern and highly performant. The stack uses Kubernetes, JRuby, Scala, Akka, and MongoDB, so experience with any of these technologies is a plus. To support the next round of growth we plan to migrate the JRuby codebase to Scala, and you will be the lead architect of this new Scala backend. In short, this is the perfect role for a self-starting engineer who loves to solve challenging problems in a fast-paced environment.

I probably was a bit unclear.
Lets say I've got a family tree stored in a db that goes back 1000 years.

Through graphql I want to find my first ancestor following all mothers backwards. The query would be:

query familyTree {
name,
mother {
name,
mother {
..and so on for an unknown number of nestings
}
}
}

Dataloader solves batching of the nested query on the server, but doesn't solve the problem of not knowing what the correct number of nestings the query should have.

Of course it's possible to create a new graphql endpoint for this type of query, but then we've just recreated REST in graphql.
That is what I have done with my current one.

A few things https://keepingstock.net/why-ecuador-should-lift-cryptocurre...
YC offers the same amount of $ to each startup that it admits to its accelerator program. So your statement of "if you can get 90% of the talent for 50% of the cost" is confusing.

When it comes to hiring employees, each company has to make the decisions on whom to hire and what is the basis for their decisions. I realize that some individuals, especially those with established families, are unable to work for lower wages or for long hours, I am not talking about them. I was talking only about those areas within YCs sphere of influence....those receiving seed funding and being given an opportunity to launch their startup by going through YC. Ageism in SV affects what startups are given a chance, who VCs fund, and who is employed at any tech business. It is not solely a factor that goes to an interview/offer/acceptance scenario.

Personally, I believe that someone needs to build some kind of a scalable, security-hardened SQL interface that can be queried directly from the browser using actual SQL. Part of that need involves federated data from multiple services/data sources. We already have a query language that can even handle nested values (see ISO SQL:2016 standard), why not just adapt it for use in the browser?

The problem, I think, is that they are hiring younger for what are economic decisions, rather than decisions based around protected status. That is, they're more likely hiring young because they can get a better deal out of it (they assume), not because of age in and of itself.

'Delivering Reliably' Most manufacturing managers have this trait, too. If they don't, they aren't manufacturing managers for long.

From the results of the study, one would infer that if they adopt these 4 traits, they will become CEOs. But that's laughable. These 4 traits are supplemental and supportive to getting there, but not causal. In my opinion, a CEO needs to be driven. They need to be going somewhere that they can convince a lot of other different types of people to follow them to. They have to have a sense of agency that leads them to want to be in charge. Only then do those 4 behaviors make a difference.
