My longest Civ game was probably in the hundreds of hours. I mostly play on faster settings, though, as it gets tedious having to wait 100+ turns to build anything. But, yeah, I was joking, just sort of commenting on how we think about games has changed in the interim. This particular game was supposed to be ridiculous; unbelievably complex and unbelievably long. But, modern computer-based strategy games are even more complex and their length isn't actually that far off. And, of course MMOs are a single game that run much longer than 1600 hours for most players. I don't even play MMOs much, and I'm certain I've logged more than 1600 hours playing a single game.

Most of those are not a problem with closed source per-se (closed source binaries you run yourself can still be inspected, monitored and even reversed). It's a problem with SaaS model. Even if you open-source everything, how can I know you're actually running the same code you've open-sourced? I can't. And since most SaaS businesses track users like there's no tomorrow, you get perfectly reasonable distrust by default.

It's the other way around really, the value of the crypto dictates how much money you can spend mining it and still break even. Except then the difficulty will increase and even things out. Having more miners could increase the trust in the currency and increase its value but it's not directly correlated.

Mining from a random browser will almost certainly never be cost effective for the user, you're better off buying or renting dedicated hardware, mine on it and use the reward to pay for microtransactions.

WARNING: Meta comment. Downvote to your heart's content.

I am very disappointed and disheartened by a good chunk of the HN commenters right here in this thread. I would expect Apple hating in some Android-focused outlet where people get points and badges based on how much times they repeat "iSheep" in an hour, but here?!

Boys and girls around here, HN is the modern place where the more intelligent and supposedly open-minded folk gathers. It's one of the last bastions of free thought which isn't a filter bubble. You should be much better than what you show.

"Yeah but Apple doesn't protect privacy, it just..."
"Everybody looks privacy-oriented when compared to Google..."
"Google just collects data for its ad platform which people view as a bad thing..."
"Apple plays the privacy card to get more customers..."

etc.

...Seriously?

Look, none of us knows for sure. But talking like that disqualifies you from any intelligent and adult discussion in my eyes; and yes, you aren't much better than the Google fanboys I stumble upon daily on Google+ and 9GAG. Hence I am using a throwaway account. I am pretty sure plenty of people won't take this comment well.

> SQL was originally designed for non-programmers

SQL was designed for mainframe programmers, made to look similar to COBOL and PL/I presumably with the idea that at some point in the future it could be integrated into one of those.

Its syntax has all the drawbacks of COBOL's syntax: too many useful words end up as reserved; it doesn't compose very well, leading to statements with very complex syntax rules; and it lulls users into a false sense of security by looking like natural language while being something very different (see HAVING vs. WHERE).

Sorry, but a "reasonable" markup language in my book would be one I would be comfortably using anywhere, meaning typing in manually (which I do a lot with markdown). #+BEGIN_SRC/#+END_SRC is too verbose and ':' as a line prefix impractical.

This won't see any wide-spread adoption outside of the Emacs world, markdown's adoption is widespread and is here to stay I'm afraid, even though it has tons of pitfalls and different styles. For pretty much everything, it's "good enough", and some things make a lot more sense if you're actually typing the text.

What does duckduckgo actually have to buy?
I agree that power shortage is real, but what PM Modi is trying to achieve is spreading electricity to all parts of India.There are still millions in India without access to power, so the scheme is about giving them an electricity connection.

> It remains to be seen where the power to 'electrify' all households come from and who'll actually foot the bill for the 'free' connections and the lifetime free electricity.'

I don't think the later part of this statement is true, govt is only providing free connection not free electricity.

Also, India is 3rd largest producer of power after China and USA, however it stands 105 when it comes to per capita consumption. The problem in India is not power supply, its the transmission, India hasn't invested much on transmission lines, as a result its paying the price now.
What design thinking can teach politics
That's a very big team. It gets complex past 3-4 people.

I wouldn't split it by hours worked because it screws over the most effective people. Some parts of the code are harder than others. I would argue that Android is more work than iOS and yet you have three on iOS and two on Android, meaning the iOS guys are lifting a little less. The web portal guy could be doing most of the heavy work, especially if he's doing back end too.

There's also sales. Sales is painful if it's B2B and yet possibly the most important role in a tech heavy team.

With a team that size you also need someone who is handling the non-deep tedious stuff - company registration, dealing with partners, investors, project management, filling forms.

And you definitely need a product manager, a visionary who has high level view and makes sure everyone is on the same page. This can be the CEO too.

The CEO doesn't necessarily need a larger share.

I would honestly just split equity up equally. Extra results will go in the form of bonuses and salary. You probably have to assign someone as the mediator for this, but this can be done democratically too. Maybe even write up some contract to agree on how bonuses are paid out.
It was a regional company, so depending on where you're from, it's not surprising that you never saw any of their showrooms.

> Does not need to be trained? The writer maybe wanted to say it does not need to be programmed in the traditional way.

Nope, "trained" is correct. The current state of deep learning involves "training" and "inference" as distinct components where entirely different kinds of math are applied to each. GPUs can do training as training is kind of "dumb" and repetitive. CPUs, however, can do training and inference (and also can do allocations among resources dedicated to training and inference).

Sure, GPUs are the trendy thing being pumped by stock market day traders these days, but they are only about as efficient as the black Model T Ford in the "traditional" sense.

Bing is still poor for obscure searches, e.g. today Im searching for other poor folks dealing with ebay's API and the message "Invalid store category name" in quotes.

I was referring to OP's eighth point, "the best teachers are on the Internet." Sorry if that was vague.

Yeah schools aren't perfect either, but it's very hard to replicate the teacher role online. Peers yes, but I'll eat my hat if anyone can come up with a digital platform that allows students and teachers (totally strangers) to connect and build relationships that last for years.

You might accidentally bump into a mentor, but that's extreeeemely rare. It's a nice dream though, hope it happens to me one day. But in all my time as an active participant in online courses (small sample, I know) the most personal interaction I got was someone reaching out via private messaging. This is totally within expectation though, many of us still unconsciously regard the Internet space as not really real.

I think your penultimate paragraph, the one where you ask managers to ponder, basically, if they are helping the team to roll it just push it, is very important and clarifies things. Of course, the whole comment, albeit larger than average for HN, is helping to make things clear.

We don't live in an ideal world though, and I do not know if the managers who prioritize the long term goals are more successful than the ones who focus on the short term goals (and who, frankly, usually are basically self-serving). Maybe it depends on the definition of success.

SQL is just much more powerful. If your staff learns SQL they can pull out very complex reports easily, aggregating and combining, joining data. Expressiveness of SQL allows you to get better results you can get from any visual tool.
Polyfills are a good option in some cases. I, personally, try to stay away from them as much as possible. Once you add a polyfill (e.g. fetch), you' soon realize that you need another one (e.g. Object.assign) and soon you will have a list of polyfills to take care of. The advantage of jQuery in this regard is that it has all these "polyfills" in one place.

I believe that jQuery is not "modular" enough for today's web development environment. The "light" version is a step in the right direction but it's not enough. If one could configure the "modules" needed and download/load a single file/library, it would be tremendous.

In that case, we do indeed agree. Except, probably, where exactly those lines get drawn. There is obviously a grey area, and we probably have more nuanced options to react, rather than just a binary engage/ignore.

I believe my argument was based on those culture war examples of the last months–most notably Charlottesville, where this idea of debating ideas on equal footing was frequently invoked. But it may be my German schooling that puts the ideas aired at those rallies firmly outside the Overton Window.
