This was an amazing thing for me how China can pay more than Europe (and America). How the world has changed in just a few decades.
Yes. In my experience FTPS is a whole bucket of nope. I've never encountered a situation where we couldn't use SFTP.

The only time I've had FTPS work 'well' is when the client & server were both written by the same company (Tumbleweed) and they don't follow the RFC exactly.
There are LOTS of American companies. You just happened to work for one with on call and work overtime. Same as the fact there are loads of European companies with on call and employees work overtime.
Terrorism is unrelated to integration problems. Also, Germany is the (second? Idk how that's measured) most inviting country? Why does it have least attacks on that chart? That chart actually reinforces my point ... Just empty populism connecting random things to desperately prove its point.
Yes- we actually started out going down the road of conservation via smart metering devices. We quickly realized that we would be facing an uphill battle if we kept trying to start there.

Also, as a point of clarification, no city in India receives 24x7 water (except Jamshedpur), although many cities have pilot projects (Nagpur is the closest to Mumbai). The Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) is probably the furthest ahead as far as public water utilities go, and many people think they have 24x7 water, but they just have a very reliable, but intermittent, source of water. The BMC has done a very good job of trying to reduce inconvenience to residents.

We actually think that, ironically, as water gets more expensive for the higher income groups, they will then start turning to water conservation mechanisms. That's the pull we are seeing in Bangalore, and what we think will be the pull in the future. Lower income communities already do a pretty good job of conserving water since they tend to pay a higher price. It's amazing what market forces do for water conservation.

We are also encouraging communities to introduce slab billing and try to do individual apartment metering. By raising water prices for the highest users, people are becoming more price sensitive and trying to use less.
You can get "science" to say whatever you want. The so-called "science" in this article proving gender bias is absurd. It implies that if 2 people have "identical resumes", their work ability should be the same. That's just absurd.
That is why i said future tax. Like you hit it big, and wouldnt want to deal with renouncing your citizenship.

That's sounds pretty easy to solve redacting the sensitive content when it hits your mail server before going to support staff. If you're sending out HTML email you can also make easy and extensible by having a custom class for redactable contents.

Realistically customers are going to fwd those emails anyway so this approach is more robust.

It seems like most information in these emails would be available to support staff typically though. It sounds like a niche case.
Thank you for illustrating my point.

No one would be expected to do meet those high standards, as you say. No one would be expected to be experts in basic chemistry by their first year of college.

Yet in this very post, there are countless examples of people saying the best programmers were the ones that knew it all before college, who didn't need college, who put in the time to learn before college, etc.

No other field is this expected. That's the point.

Playing with science and doing small little cute fun experiments is a lot different than me teaching myself productive front end development at age 16. I don't expect other 16 year olds overall to do as I did. Nor do I judge people if they didn't.

> And quite frankly, most "real-life" interactions seem to be pretty much the same. Just sitting around with phones talking about things you saw on the [social] Internet

This is a bit of a sad statement. What about conversation in a group, or debate in a meeting at work, or communicating with your children, or any other kind of relationship? Not everything can be showing each other videos, as YouTube can already recommend better than humans can.
> Whilst Amazon and Google could have teams sitting there looking out for popular voice apps they could copy features from and implement natively, based on the big pushes they are making to try and bring 3rd party developers to the platform, in my opinion it would be a strange thing for them to do if they just constantly copied the popular ones as native features.

Every single successful platform does exactly this. Facebook, Google, Apple.

> On the invocation --> Having to say "Life Bot" as well as Alexa or Google is additional work for the user, but we think that this is worth it for the enhanced features.

As someone who has an Echo Show, an Echo dot, and an original echo, I can tell you that the friction added by having to say the skill name makes me never use it. I can imagine this is the case for a vast majority of non-power users who don't use IFTTT or some other niche skill.

> On monetisation --> there are definitely options available to us, for example premium features. But as I'm sure you've seen by testing the product we're still quite early and won't be doing this anytime soon. Amazon are also paying the top skill developers quite significant amounts (https://developer.amazon.com/alexa-skills-kit/rewards) if your a developer looking for a bit of extra $ I would definitely check that out!

Your payment is based on your ability to keep your replacement experiences better than Amazons and all of their competitors, as well as all of the other skills that can focus on just one of your features and out-sprint you.

Looks like you have a lot of experience building skills and thinking about voice interactions. If I were you - I'd focus on providing something truly unique through voice - something that Apple, Google, or Amazon can't squash you with by sneezing. Even all the stuff covered in your tech crunch article is already done by competitors in some form.

I wish you luck. I don't expect you to find a way to monetize this faster than Google Amazon or Apple will find a way to monetize skills in general, in which case you'll be competing against niche apps for every feature you provide under the life bot umbrella. This will spread you thin. And I would be totally surprised if you raised money on the idea.

Sorry for the hyper critical feedback. Y'all seem super passionate and I want to see more cool voice apps for my Echo. But I can't help but feel many skills developers are simply re-inventing the wheel.

>They killed people ffs

You say that as though they shot them or discussed the possible body count in a meeting.

Sure, people died as a far downstream result of a bunch of cars polluting a lot more than they supposedly did. The effect is far enough downstream that it's not really relevant. The alternative to VW breaking the law was not a pollution free world. People die as a result of things that are technically preventable all the time but society does not have the resources to allocate to preventing every "preventable" death or disease.

We as a society don't judge people by every downstream effect of their actions.

The lithium mine required to supply some of the materials for the computer or phone you typed that poorly thought out comment on probably isn't doing good things to the people that work at it.

Not to move too far afield from immigration but my take on this is similar but slightly different: it's easier said than done but my advice is not to let the goal of a green card dictate decisions about where to work - that is, don't pass up good opportunities because of immigration considerations.
haha kind of, with a slight automation twist. We use IoT devices so we automatically detect when your water is low and order it for you :) We've realized that for people who have to order water often, it's kind of a pain to do it manually every time. That's the IoT version of it.
That's exactly my point: there is an expectation associated, especially from the HN echo-chamber, that you've been passionately programming since your early teenage years and that if not you're just a pretender looking for the salary and can't solve problems.

I'd say this is true of most people entering college. Hence we have introductory courses to learn there.

It's a shame that so many people on here and elsewhere simply want to discourage people from following an interest simply because they discovered it later.

What about all the emails that get sent to people who aren't customers yet and just have a simple question that isn't covered by the FAQ?

They'll see noreply@, and not bother to dig up a support email address and forget about your company's offerings.

However, seeing a welcoming replieswelcome@ email, they can ask their simple question while they're thinking of it, which then becomes a warm lead, and possibly even convert into a paying customer.

How does 13. lead to 14.? What is the birth country of the person? Remember there is 10-15 year wait for people born in India ( few years shorter if you are born in china) to obtain a Green Card in EB2 and EB3 category.

Depending on various factors the time between 13. and 14. could very well be between 3 to 20 years (15 years to obtain GC and 5 years after that to obtain citizenship).

There are two kinds of "cranks" in math and science:

1. People who are flat out nuts. Their understanding of the field is broadly wrong on many different levels.

2. People who have a good understanding of the field, but disagree with specific things that are widely accepted by mainstream practitioners. In all but that area where they disagree, they often are accomplished respected practitioners with perfectly "normal" books and papers to their credit.

These areas of disagreement are often down in the foundations of mathematics, such as over what axioms to accept, or how to construct mathematical systems.

There are often multiple ways you can axiomatize and construct mathematical systems that provide everything we normally need for most or all applications of mathematics, so often both sides in these disagreements end up with mathematical systems that are equally useful from the point of view of everyone who is not working in the foundations of mathematics.

You could have type 2 cranks in science fields outside mathematics, but I think it is much less likely than in mathematics. Those fields tend to deal with things that objectively be proven or disproven. You usually only get "coherent cranks" in those fields when a major change in how we understand something is happening.

It's a mix up factors so it's hard to say in the abstract. For example, a lot of good press might mean that you can get by with fewer publications or awards. But for startups, it's important, whatever form the evidence takes, whether clients or press or funding, that USCIS sees some external market validation of what you're doing.
>Support US withdrawing from mutual defense pacts with South Korea and Japan and NATO.

I wouldn't support the US reneging on its current security agreements, particularly with Japan, since we forced them into their current pacifist regime, but if South Korea, Japan and/or NATO wanted the US out, I wouldn't oppose it.

I'm afraid there's a point at which America's overwhelming military, cultural and political dominance itself becomes a problem. Even if one can argue that, as hegemonies go, you could do worse, superpowers and their chess games are also holding the world back.

That depends, was the engineer told "here is your spec", where the spec was they could have higher emissions than the law actually says, or was the engineer told here is the law, but you can ignore it if it gives us better numbers. In the first case the engineers who broke the law was mislead by those he should be able to trust to explain the law, while in the latter he knew he was part of breaking the law.

The law is generally written in legalese. It is really hard to understand how X volts on some sensor relates to emissions regulations. Therefore the engineers doing the work are easy to mislead, they probably don't even have access to sensor values that can directly tell you something in the law. Rather it is a mechanical engineer explaining that when the temperature is X and (pages of sensors they do have) you change these actuator settings. Give wrong information here and the engine will run as design and the programmer who made the mistake won't even know.
The US chooses to do this though. The US can stop doing this anytime it wants to, nobody is forcing us to.

If we don't like subsidizing Pharma companies maybe it should just stop doing it. It's not like Europe is asking us to. Similarly, I'm all for closing bases. If the US wants to close bases and cut military spending, who's stopping us?
It's a combination of mainly two things.

1. More people are getting PhDs, which means if the job supply remained constant, higher percentages of people won't get a job.

2. There are fewer "real" academic jobs, because universities have evolved to focus on cost-cutting business practices, tenured faculty are expensive, and an endless stream of abused adjuncts has no down side except the quality of education provided by your university, and who cares about that anyway.

This answer points at RFC containing recommendations for auto-reply e-mails, and specifies a header to use.

Any new proposal will fall victim to the same opt-in problem to an even greater degree; if developers of auto-responders can't be bothered to follow this RFC, they will also ignore even newer recommendations.

In the newer C++ iterations (starting with C++17) there are parallel versions of nomral algorithms that accept an argument of type "ExecutionPolicy". These are supposed to be supplied by the platform, but hardware vendors could supply them as well.

The execution policies that are provided with the stand will supprt launching normal OS thread on CPUs, but others could do all kinds of crazy things. They could perform the required operations on CPUs, GPU, Cuda, OpenCL or potentially on crazy hardware like this, where it makes sense to do so.

Here is one example, std::find has overloads that accept this: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/find

I'm not an expert, but my impression is that the problem with that is that these green house gasses are going from being long term sequestered to getting into the carbon cycle. When they get locked into plants, that's a very short term sequestration - when the plants die or are eaten, they decompose and the carbon goes right back into the atmosphere. Basically, plants aren't a great way to lower the average atmospheric CO2 levels.

Which begs the question, how do we do long term sequestration? Could we, for example, split CO2 into pure carbon and O2, and then bury the C as graphite (which I believe is not digestible to any organism)?
> many people think they have 24x7 water, but they just have a very reliable, but intermittent, source of water

This is true. A lot of complexes have larger than reasonable storage tanks. If a new complex pops up next to your apartment building, you immediately see an effect in your water supply levels. It'll be interesting get a heatmap of the disproportionate distribution, but unless some authority gets involved, this may not happen.

Agreed. Price affects behavior.

> IMO arbitrary rules like lambda expressions being limited to one expression do not directly improve readability and maintainability.

In Python’s specific case, I've seen no alternative that isn't bad for readability; the strong line-orientation of Python's broader syntax limits the good options for inline anonymous functions.

That being said complex lambdas in general can be adverse to maintainability and Python’s single-expression limitation largely prevents that (though you can make hideously complex opaque single-expression lambdas if you try.)

Most research is not patentable.

Technical development and design that results in some "method and apparatus" to do a particular thing is patentable, but the research required before that R&D that leads to understand how stuff works and what might work is not patentable. And that's not speaking about less technical fields of science where nothing is patentable, or computer science which is not patentable in much of the world (software patents aren't valid in EU and other places).

Also, patenting is expensive. Especially because you need to file a patent in multiple major markets, you need multiple different patent lawyers, if you're outside of USA then filing a patent in USA is a bit of a hassle, and just for USA+main EU countries gets quite costly quick - so that's a reason not to patent things unless you have a clear picture that some product is going to violate that patent and thus it'll become valuable.
