> We’re just scratching the surface of what genetic outliers can do.

That seems to be the crux of it.

Genetic outliers, yes. When I hear a phrase like "limits of athletic performance", though, I don't expect to read about genetic outliers, which, to me, are wholly uninteresting. The real limits of athletic performance if we mean genetic don't even end with humans.

Was hoping that this was going to be about people not fulfilling their athletic potential overall. This seems to be getting worse for the average person. I think we pay too much attention to genetic freakishness instead of the average, on many accounts.

I'm not sure I'm following. Is the illegal activity you're talking about related to the legality new crypto tokens in general or that bitcoin itself can/is used for illegal activity?

Secondarily, the article is only asking if strategies used by HF's could be applied to lower the risk profile of investments in Bitcoin. From the research he did, the answer looks like a theoretical yes.
"Works best in IE 6" wasn't dumb at the time. It was the best browser available. What was bad is those sites continued to work only in IE6 long after it ceased to be the best browser.

The browser ecosystem is much healthier now. If Chrome ceases to innovate there are others ready to take over.
I don't know. I like static linking. I'd rather I like things that just work ™. I mean look at PHP for Windows. I can't run php --version because I don't have visual C++ installed. Why? Wouldn't it be easier to include everything you need with your binaries? How much extra stuff are we talking?
To me, RAM and processor are much scarcer resources.
Absolutely agree. Most front-end meetups/conferences I've been to have had the majority of people there expressing a dislike for JSX. I still don't understand that to this day, to me JSX is one of the best things about React.

My mother says her English became fluent from watching American TV. So, I will suggest you look for subtitled videos online in the target language.

There is a large difference between spoken and written. If you want to be able to converse in it, you need to develop an ear for it. I have an ear for German, which I never studied in school. I never developed an ear for French, though I studied it in both high school and college. I can make conversation in German. I can read and writes little French, but trying to verbally exchange pleasantries in French is hard.

Decide what your goal is. Realize that understanding is easier than replying, both verbally and in writing.
> if you want 51% to the network to be able to do abusive things, you have to risk devaluing your enormous PoS investment by destroying trust in the Ethereum network.

I have a hypothetical scenario I'm curious about. Let's say the Bitcoin network becomes so valuable that a huge chunk of the world economy depends on it, believing that it can't be manipulated. Most people would rather play nice with this than sabotage the network, but since the whole point of this consensus mechanism is assuming the worst case, let's say there's an entity (it could be a terrorist group or a nation) whose interest is to mess this up regardless of how much money they lose as a consequence.

This is an unlikely event but I think it's possible in some special cases that we can't foresee at the moment (just like nobody could predict that people will come up with ASICS for mining, or like people would form a pool to mine things) The only condition required is:

1. Get a hold of enough money to terrorize the network

2. Be at a position where you indirectly can gain more by losing all your money that's worth 51% of the network.

In this case, this entity can decide to attack the network without any consequences due to the pseudonymous nature of the blockchain. People will see this happen in daylight but won't be able to easily figure out who this was if this was based on proof of stake, because all you need to do this is to secure your fund in the bitcoin network.

However if Bitcoin was using proof of work, you will have to buy whole bunch of mining rigs (or build them yourself in some secret bunker) which is much more traceable than if you simply used money for this terrorism.

I'm not making up some convoluted scenario just to troll, I'm genuinely curious how this will work out and hope to be proven wrong because I also want to live in a world where proof of stake works.

This should be the top comment. This sort of "debate" has happened since the dawn of programming and will continue to happen until AI programs for us.

The reality is it is all shite! Just get your job done.
Super. Rather than taking rejection by YC as end-of-story they went on to success.

Remember when applying to YC and other batch based accelerators: you might not get in but in some cases that says more about the accelerator than it does about you and there are plenty of other roads to success.
I agree with you. I was simply trying to address the comment that it's "just an app".
I don't think you deserve downvotes here. I only buy physical copies of games, and the standard experience is to come home, insert the disc, and wait for a multi gigabyte patch to download and install before playing.
For me, the best thing about jsx is the fact that it's so easy to create different implementations of `React.createElement` to solve different problems outside of the scope of React itself. Want a render function that uses jsx but returns a string, a DOM tree, or something entirely different? Totally possible! I didn't like jsx at first, but the fact that it's so decoupled from React itself counts extremely in its favor, in my view.

For example, for one of my libraries I wanted a really simple way to allow people to include custom templates. I started with string-based templates, but quickly realized that this was inflexible for any kind of event binding or later dom mutations. Achieving that was super easy with jsx -- I just implemented a custom jsx function which directly outputs DOM elements.

Step 1: implement a jsxDom function [^1] which takes (name, props, children) (e.g. https://github.com/krakenjs/xcomponent/blob/master/.babelrc#...)

Step 2: point babel to my jsxDom function (e.g. https://github.com/krakenjs/xcomponent/blob/master/src/lib/d...)

This even allowed some cool hacks like including iframes directly in the jsx, to sandbox sections of the page (since the library is geared towards creating components to be embedded on 3rd party sites):

containerTemplate({ jsxDom }) {
return (
<iframe>
<style>
p {
margin-top: 40px;
}
</style>

<p>I can be sure the styles in this iframe won't affect the parent page</p>
</iframe>
)
}
Drone near-miss at SFO points to emerging danger for airplanes
The answer is, not much. They're shockingly similar. Both are achieving very similar ends through slightly different means (the subtlety of `virtual` in C++ leading to vtables) -- dynamic dispatch of a function based on an instantiation (a collocation of a method, as you called it)

How you implement inheritance under the hood and how you interpret the `class` keyword is another false distinction the author makes.
Even the body...as I was reading it, when I kept seeing new acronyms defined and used it sounded almost comedic. It reminded me of some talk or something I've seen somewhere where the made up acronyms end up being really funny description words like ("and this we call a PAININTHEASS process"). Can't remember what that was though.
I believe it's not that there is a single right way to think about a problem, but there probably are wrong ways to think about the problem.

For example, going through all the issues with the question and implicit underlying assumptions, talking about what you'd need to give a good answer, or the characteristics a good answer may have might not be exactly what the interviewer expected or was looking for - but such an answer could demonstrate your competence in the field and be a good answer.

On the other hand, trying to make up an answer, or brazen your way through with jargon while hoping the interviewer didn't notice would likely be a bad answer.

It's not that these companies are looking for a single kind of thought. On the contrary, I believe they value different kinds of thought. Instead, they believe they can sort kinds of thought into desirable and not.

Conclusion:

> TypeScript brings some great features, but, in my opinion, it comes with some significant pitfalls that need to be addressed and realized before jumping in with both feet.

While listing none of the pitfalls unless the significant pitfall is classes mentioned a few paragraphs above.

This reads like it had much grander aspirations and ended up being published 30% through.
It doesn't necessarily mean YC were wrong to reject either. It's a prediction game.

> How is this shit legal?

In a banana republic? Or in a country that takes these things serious? It all depends on where you live. The absolutely incredible conflicts of interest the Trump administration has brought into the whitehouse ought to have been enough to put several people behind bars. The brands of family members are openly advertised by whitehouse advisors on national TV and the president did not divest himself from his holdings but created some kind of smoke-and-mirrors version of divestment.

It's ridiculous, and it sets the tone for the rest of the nation. If you feel that it isn't legal you are probably right but it would require someone in a position in power to do something about it and that is not going to happen for the time being.

The real problem this causes: precedent has been set and future administrations will not feel bound by these rules any more.
I know people who use React without JSX and it reads fine, as long as you assign React.createElement to a shorter alias. I like that you don't have the visual noise of closing elements. I think it's mostly a matter of taste (and how much you care about your HTML-generating code resembling HTML).

It isn't all that unlikely that new laws will be passed (for example, there were substantial reforms after Watergate/Nixon).

> If we are real lucky the imperial office of the president will be neutered quite a lot.

This is my preferred outcome for the Trump administration: that it serves as a vaccine, a shot in the arm for those calling for more restrictions on what a single person can do to the country and that this helps to curb a future wanna-be emperor who is actually competent. Trump - fortunately - is a bungler, imagine the damage he could do if he was half as competent as he claims he is. That would be a much larger issue.
Is there any editor support for that? One of the things I like about React + TypeScript is that the JSX is syntax-checked and type-checked in my editor as I type. My understanding is that this is possible because TS has built-in support for JSX.
It doesn't mean that it was one man and seventeen women reproducing at the time, it means that male parentage at that time was a much stronger factor in whether descendants from the line survived to the modern day than female parentage.
Not to pry, but do you have a Java background? I see you're using the global 'Boolean' and 'String' interfaces in your examples (which correspond to the equivalent JavaScript constructor objects), rather than the 'boolean' and 'string' primitive types. While it kinda works to use the interfaces instead of the primitives, the primitives, IMO have much more expected behavior in the type system, since, unlike the interfaces, they do not get compared structurally - TypeScript uses a structural type system for all objects, after all.

Obviously it's only _partially_ helpful in their case, but you could do something like Reddit does: links to other tweets on Twitter would be "read-only", with no way to post or respond from the page you end up on. Pair this with not automatically rendering retweets on the main timeline, and it could go a long way toward neutering "retweet mobs".

That is an appalling article, even by Hacker News standards.

I mean, his second "reservation" is that TypeScript "fundamentally" changes JavaScript. How does he demonstrate this? By complaining that classes, which are a JavaScript feature, work differently than in other OO languages. What the hell does that even have to do with TypeScript?
Since the logic inside of JSX is just JavaScript encapsulated in braces, you're basically saying that Vue's angular like attributes are better than just simple javascript syntax?

I don't understand how

<ul>
<li v-for="num in listItems">{{num}}</li>
</ul>

is less readable than

<ul>
{listItems.map((num, i) => <li key={i}>{num}</li>)}
</ul>

Both are pretty readable, but the latter is essentially normal javascript, with the idea that you can return dom elements in it. The only thing that a javascript developer with zero jsx experience needs to know is that you can express dom elements within your javascript and treat them exactly like functions that return that element (which is what they are).

What someone has to know to parse your vue example is the exact syntax for for loops in vue, evidently the syntax in this example is quite simple but what if they want to perform extra logic in that loop to modify which elements to show? In the react example all they have to do is know javascript.... in Vue they have to go look up how to do that in Vue.
It does seem that that's what the article was written to be - there were lots of examples carefully "assembled".

But I'm curious why you didn't take it seriously. Could you be a bit more specific?
Google groups is entirely different to Gmail in behaviour.
Cool, but in JSX it's just javascript as you would write it anywhere else in your app, except encapsulated in braces. How is that not simpler for people who should be Javascript developers?
Just an update: I almost gave up on react-native today because the navigation story seemed so broken. I actually spent a few hours checking out Xamarin.Forms at one point. Then I took a break and I was about to play some Rocket League when I had a eureka moment - I finally understood the simplest way to make react-navigation work the way I needed it to and within an hour I had a working implementation!

(The trick that worked for me: Don't nest navigators directly within each other, instead wrap each one in a component class, get a ref to the wrapped navigator and then use that ref to handle navigation requests from a global navigation service that other components and services can use.)

So, my opinion of react-native has softened a bit this evening as I've gotten over my biggest hurdle yet. After trying Xamarin out and also comparing it with my previous Ionic/Cordova/PhoneGap experience...I'm glad to be back with react-native.

Also, Expo XDE has been a pleasure to work with - discovery of that tool is the reason I decided to re-investigate RN about 2 weeks ago. The first time I tried RN was like 6 months ago and I had spent a few days the first week just trying to get the environment working properly. This time everything just worked (and on multiple operating systems!)

The stupid part about that desire is that most consumers put their phone in an ugly, terrible feeling case and make the phone just as thick as if they had improved the battery life.

As a device designer the demand for thinness strikes me as something where customers demand something that they really don't care about in practice, but think they do when they are buying the device and holding it in a store so they need to design devices like this. Related to this, the whole camera bump thing just flabbergasts me. Does anyone really think a phone that wobbles when you place it on the table is worth 1mm of thickness reduction?

Unfortunately, I've come to realize that nobody is ever going to build the phone I want, because it just doesn't market well compared to everything else on the market, even though I'm convinced it meets the needs of far more people than the invariably flawed devices every manufacturer is putting out these days.
Yes. There is a good saying "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon him not understanding it.".

The continued success of GM research and their commercial interests depend heavily on positive opinions and outcomes. It should be simple to see that this can lead to suppression of negative issues.

You can also realize from this that something else can happen; over-promotion of positive outcomes and projections.

Once you start to analyze the GM landscape with these ideas in mind, you start to understand and see that the discourse is currently heavily biased towards promoting only one side of the coin.

Regarding the PCA before SVM step - PCA would help reduce dimensionality w.r.t linear correlations, kernels generally are used to obtain non-linear maps. So wouldn't it be wrong to say doing PCA is redundant? Also, while kernel SVM optimization is dominated by number of data points, computing the value of the kernel function for individual data points might depend on the dimensionality itself, would it not? Another instance of lower dimensional representation possibly helping.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still just learning this stuff.
