The iPhone doesn't suffer from this problem. It should be up to the phone manufacturer (HTC, Samsung, etc.) to test their product.

The carrier can still, of course, test the new firmware all they like - they just shouldn't be able to interfere with its release.
They usually know better. I've been iPhone user for 6 years and I've never wanted to customize something. Android, on the other hand, would need a complete customization, redesign and rewrite which I don't have time to do.

They were supposed to not put any user app on the system partition but rather install them using play services when the user logs in. I've only seen one device implement it and it was a low end device so it kind of choked anyway.
I like that they are easily removable. Developing a game on the Rift with them attached was a huge pain (remove headset, do some code, put headset on, test).
It would be interesting to know how many founders were over 40 in S17. It would also be interesting to see if YC has a sense of any difficulties that older founding teams experience in attracting VC funding.
That is because many people hate Facebook, and there for love anything that is not from them. Some people have similar feelings toward Value, who is not the bully on the block. But the anti-FB contingent is louder.

>Why do we need to tax the industry and raise rates on consumers when coal usage is falling and renewables are on the rise without it?

The cost to the consumer is higher with uncertainty. Uncertainty means lower overall investment and therefore a higher cost of electricity. Investors face risk on both sides: if they invest in renewables, they might lose money to coal. If they invest in coal, they might lose money to renewables. That causes them to invest in other industries and opportunities.

A tax gives a quantifiable return and makes the industry as a whole a better investment. Pigovian tax is best tax
Is there any work to get HAMMER2 on Linux?
Why? GearVR gets ~2 hours of usage that's more than enough for most VR play sessions (it's actually quite tiring).
And GearVR also has to run Android and the rest of the cell phone crap and the cell phone form factor limits the battery size.
You likely going to be easily be able to get 3-4 if not more hours of playtime from a pretty light battery by using just a slightly bigger battery than in an high end cell phone and while optimizing the hardware for VR rather than general purpose cell phone usage.

I am not an expert in anything, but I am working on it. When I try to focus on studying one discipline consistently for a period of time, I get distracted (and excited!) when I notice patterns that could inform other disciplines. While it is distracting, the patterns are able to help me digest new concepts faster. I have noticed this connection-making inspires heaps of my creativity.

Explaining computer science to otherwise non-technical philosophy grads is not only easy; it is what I would call a 'downhill process'. This probably depends on them being decent philosophy students, of course.

How do tooltips even work on a touch based OS?
The translation "expert" is ridiculous. Its an apprenticeship at college level, not a doctorate. I have no idea what the american equivalent is, because there might not be a standardized title, and maybe expert is not a protected title. Fachinformatiker is more of a technician with 1.5y of school and 1.5y on the job training interleaved.
Would you use this service?
All in all, I agree. However, I'm a self-taught software developer who could do (and frequently do do) my job without Stackoverflow.com. Furthermore, given enough time, I'm also confident I could build from scratch any of the frameworks I use on a day-to-day basis. And yet I would not consider myself a software engineer (even though I've held that job title).

The more I learn about serious computer science and engineering work, the more I realize that I can't do that kind of work with any degree of fluency...yet. I'm continuing to work (slowly) toward that direction. But I've also realized that relatively few software developer jobs actually require these skills.

Nonetheless, I am a very solid software developer, who can built robust, correct, and reliable software.

Actually, I think "software technician" is a great name for bootcamp graduates to hold. It perfectly captures the level of training they've finished.

The challenge with the classics example is that if you aren't capable of translating yourself then you are dependent on other peoples translations and therefore their interpretations, so you are adding a layer of indirection, sometimes more than one.

My Latin is woefully poor, but armed with a grammar and dictionary I can make a stab. Just doing that shows me just how much interpretation happens.
I recently left Square to start a product consultancy&portfolio with a colleauge of mine. One of our primary principles (we have a few) is "Time to think" so we structure our working week with 3 days of work, 1 day of potential meetings and one day of company time working on building a product portfolio.

Our clients seem to like it as we give them time to get back to us. We are not cheap but we (think) we provide a lot of value.

Furthermore we avoid the hours spent discussion and only do days/months.

This model is not for all businesses but it works surpringly well both for us and the kind of clients we work with.

Over a dozen were arrested. I saw a livestream from the perspective of the free speech rallygoers. There were dozens if not hundreds of masked individuals right across the police barricade.

Prior to the iPhone changing how phones were sold-- carriers meddled with everything so they could get their hands in media playback, app sales, feature upgrades etc. I don't think much has changed in this where anyone gives them an inch (which is nearly everyone but Apple).

I guess my question would be ....game the application to what end? While you clarified that you would not game the application I would venture to guess that it has probably happened or at least been seriously contemplated by other applicants.

It seems to me that this would certainly be a very unwise decision given that the YC community is very tight knit. I guess there are those who would hope that if just given the chance to be heard during the interview that YC would see the passion and determination but it seems like it would be a very unwise way to start what he/she hopes would be a long term relationship. As you said, the application could be gamed but I don't think it would be looked upon as a good move and given the number of applications that YC receives, such a move is a terrible waste of the YC screeners valuable time.
It can be done. Child porn (I'm in no way endorsing the viewing of it obviously) is extinct from the internet as we all know it. And when talking about smaller instances like the Daily Stormer it becomes clear that internet censorship is very real and very possible.
As to the fatty liver disease, it's the sugar.

And I understand it does not sound reasonable, because humans had been consuming sugar, even in large quantities before 1983, so your conclusion on its face seems reasonable.

However, non alcoholic fatty liver disease isn't anything new in humans it's just new in children. It used to take until adulthood to develop the disease and now it's being developed as young as 1-2 years old. From the Liver Foundation, to the Cleveland clinic, to any pediatrician, the conclusion is all the same...it's sugar.

And for thousands of years humans have been purposefully over feeding animals for the sole purpose of causing fat livers. From the ancient Egyptians to modern foie gras, humans forcefeed these animals grains (sugars). There have been no mystery variables for thousands of years, feeding animals grains (sugars) leads to fatty livers.

As to humans it's the same thing, over consume sugar and you'll eventually develop fatty liver, it just didn't happen until adulthood until consumption of sugar exploded.

Still you are right, let's assume it's not sugar but some recently introduced variable, it is worth finding it out, but it's honestly not worth debating at the expense of kids health when we know whether or not there is some mystery variable, all that needs to be modified is sugar consumption and the disease would be eradicated. But IMO yes, kids used to eat less than some critical threshold of sugar, to claim otherwise is telling the Liver Foundation, Cleveland Clinic and American Diabetes Association they are wrong, it's even telling the sugar industry their accounting of sugar consumption is wrong. Humans have always gotten fatty liver from sugar, only the rate has increased and the age has decreased consistent with the increased sugar consumption. It really is on par with tobacco saying lung cancer or OCPD isn't caused by smoking but some other variable, and so we should find that variable rather than change our smoking habits.
I agree. I am very happy with my Nexus 5 and I intend using it until the hardware gives up.
You can solve this sort of thing relatively easily by checking if the player keeps entering the same position with no change in state (and no user interaction).

The practical difference between the two is that revolutionary leftist groups in the U.S. have been essentially toothless since the '60s, (rowdy black bloc protesters and extremist SUV-dealership torching ecologists aside) whereas since the '90s there's been an uptick of organized right-wing extremism in the form of militia movements, white supremacist groups, etc. So one cluster is a group of internet tough guys, and the other cluster are internet tough guys who may or may not be actually affiliated with armed militants.

This is my perception of the current situation, definitely could be helped by a fact check of FBI or other law enforcement stats, though.

Maybe it's because the thing that they could strive for greatness in is not something that really interests them except in passing

That's an interesting take. Basically saying that hopelessness for being great (because they are bounding themselves to being great where their desires link up with capability) keeps them from trying. I think that's a compelling argument.

Sad though, really. A lot of people would be great at things they don't necessarily like doing.
> This is strongly contradicted by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's evidence. Nearly everyone he talked to (many Nobel Laureates among them) said their greatest achievement was raising a family or something in personal life. I can't claim this generalizes, but I can provide it as a stark counterexample to Hamming's claim.

If this proves anything, it is that self-reporting is dangerously misleading and the answers depend very much on who is asking.
Portability doesn't seem to have been a primary goal for HAMMER/2 - I remember reading on mailing list that the reason was to not let portability impede other goals.

Thus even with FreeBSD a port would not be straight forward because of VFS API differences, required scheduler support and buffer cache implementation differences[1]. Linux I would assume is even more work.

I am aware of that. That's why I put it in quotes. So far, nobody has found one that really pertains to React and co. So if that's the case and none exist, then go to (2), otherwise Facebook have one in their arsenal that nobody else is thinking about, and go to (1).

So, still no sysadmin.

Not saying it has to be this way, just saying originally that serverless can save you money.

In fact, we are in the process of moving all our APIs over to AWS Lambda w/ ES and it's going to save us 25-50% of our EC2 costs.

We might be able too do the same since we are re-writing in another language, but without AWS Lambda, we would have never gotten that shot.
It will definitely happen.

I started an improved port of HAMMER to Linux (I don't like the current FUSE one and started building an in-kernel version from scratch) but, stopped working on it before I got it working or published it. I am planning to start working on it again with someone else. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else beats us to it though.
All I want is for my stupid phone to stop annoying me with new features I don't want. Google just now suggested with a notification that I should ask its voice thing a question and try it out.

In practice, what you would do is write a preprocessing/code-generating tool that runs in the build environment, as part of the toolchain.
>Much more likely is an innovation in the battery sector. Utilities are finally waking up to the huge value proposition of batteries on the grid. They can be used instead of upgrading transmission and distribution infrastructure.

Back of the envelope math: the electric grid would cost ~5 trillion to replace[1]. At $200/kWh that's 25,000,000,000 kWh. The US uses 11,152,000,000 kWh per day- that's 2.24 days of storage. Doubling the effective power of the grid using a day's worth of storage is trivial AND cost effective (at $200/kWh). Add in renewables and that storage gets several times more valuable, too.
