I never claimed otherwise. They have unlimited R&D budget and the ability to kidnap scientists/inventors and steal their tech. They release tons of goodies all the time. Just not advanced energy tech.

There are two reasons for this:

1. The stability of the petrodollar global control grid is based on the centralized production of energy. Any tech that would lead to widespread decentralization is a threat. Power is power.

2. People are too retarded and selfish to be trusted with unlimited energy. They would inevitably split the crust of the earth and kill us all.

So until both of those things change you won't see permanent batteries, cheap hydrogen from water, high efficiency solar, or any of the other energy tech they are sitting on.

> What happens if you spend the month investigating and don't find anything?

Same as what already happens; you don't write the story.

> Micro-payment per-article will only encourage "safe" journalism - articles that you know will resonate with your readers, rather than controversial pieces or in-depth, resource intensive research.

Maybe for some people, but for me it would have the opposite effect. If forced to pay for boring/unoriginal content, I would probably just not read it at all. I already do this for content that is behind subscription paywalls or that has hideous ads everywhere. If anything, being forced to pay for content I read would make me even more reluctant to read useless filler.

I am sure I am not alone. Hacker News in particular is seemingly filled with people who would rather throw down ¢10 or something many times a day than pay for 10 separate monthly subscriptions that don't reflect the actual proportion of reading you do on each journalism platform.

Given how much potential revenue is already lost by forcing people to pay for the full subscription, I don't believe that micropayments are an obviously inferior solution. They might prove to be flawed in some way, but I don't think that the points you make are good arguments against them.

Standard Cognition | Researchers and Engineers | San Francisco, CA | Full-time, onsite | 120k-180k

We're using machine vision to build zero-friction checkout for stores. Walk in, grab stuff, and leave. Our system figures out what you grab and charges you automatically. Checkout what our real-time inference engine looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeS8TJwBAFs

If you love hard problems, machine vision, and building products that change the way we interact with the world we'd love to talk with you. We're a young team that's moving fast and looking for people that love to rapidly iterate on challenging ideas. We're a YC company that's VC backed, 7 strong, and looking to grow. Two of our cofounders are UCSB alumns, so we'd love to hear from you.

Research Candidates

We're looking for strong deep learning and machine learning researchers to help lead our research programs. We view deep learning as a science, not an art, and we're looking for strong scientists: people that can generate, test, and refine hypotheses rapidly, with minimal bias. Fail fast, fail often. That's the mantra of startups, and that's the mantra of science. Help us rapidly generate targeted hypotheses and approaches for building a system that can comprehend the massive amount of video footage we feed it. If you're expertise isn't in machine vision but you're a passionate tinkerer or researcher in ML or deep learning we're happy to get you up to speed on the state of the art in vision.

Engineering Candidates

We're looking for strong Python engineers to help develop and productionize soft real-time algorithms in our vision pipeline. We have lots of big problems to solve. Engineers looking to lead and take on hard projects are welcome. Take cutting-edge research that requires massive clusters to work and make it run in real time on a single machine. Take disparate research results and merge them together into more powerful models. Build a massively parallel system that can comprehend 100Gbps of raw footage streaming from hundreds of cameras.

Experience in some of these areas is a plus: high performance and scientific computing, cluster management, deep learning, image processing, performance optimization, algorithmic research. Experience with some of these tools is a plus: cython, numpy, TensorFlow or some other deep learning framework, opencv, nix. If you're smart, passionate, and can learn fast on the job, we're happy to train an engineer in any and all of these areas.

Sorry I didn't see your comment until now.

Right, it is intended to be a for-profit business, not really interested in tackling better education for everyone.

Long term I think a great case will be made for taking some % of students that couldn't afford it, just based on their accomplishments/skills to date.

Rich parents send their under-14 yr olds to a summer camp (just for fun & MAYBE some sports lessons) and pay 10k+. For a program proven to boost their kids' chance of success, I think they'd be willing to pay even more than that.
Counter anecdote: my workplace performed SSD + RAM upgrades for everyone and that fit well within that year's budget. The alternative would have to wait another year (or more) to replace all the laptops at a much greater cost.
Top Hat | https://tophat.com/work-with-us/ | Toronto, ON, Canada | ONSITE Full-time

Well said. This article is essentially dismissing a technique that is barely used, with the argument that the technique is not the entire solution. Of course it isn't, but that doesn't change the benefits that it can bring.

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/JavaScript-Lang...

> Visual Studio 2017 provides a powerful JavaScript editing experience right out of the box. Powered by a TypeScript based language service, Visual Studio delivers richer IntelliSense, support for modern JavaScript features, and improved productivity features such as Go to Definition, refactoring, and more.

It works off Typescript type annotations for packages and the Typescript compiler's type inference. VS Code's Javascript editing does not seem to be evidence for tooling around dynamic languages so much as it's evidence that if you have a lot of money and Anders Hejlsberg you can write a compiler for a statically typed language with type inference that looks like a specific dynamic language.
Unfortunately, what we will get is a model where you pay Google some amount of money, and they divvy it up amongst the publishers.

AdWords/AdSense solved micro payments by bundling $0.01 clicks into monthly segments and. I expect google to try the same model with publishers, especially since a) adblockers are increasing, and b) google has already proved it can bully publishers into signing up for any "service" it offers.

H1B visas are all kinds of broken, but I don't believe there are an excess of qualified American citizens for most software jobs. In fact, it's so hard to get an H1B now that I don't think they're having much effect on "jobs available to Americans" at all.

I've never run a huge tech company, but even when trying to hire 10-50 engineers it's been a real slog trying to find good ones. We built one of the least biased hiring processes imaginable, promoted jobs to largely American audiences, and the pool of applicants was still hugely unqualified. We found ~2 qualified people per ~1000 applications.

American tech companies _do_ train American talent, I'm a product of this. I think you're overestimating how good we are at training software devs, though. It's not a fast process, it's not very scientific, and it doesn't seem to "take" for most people.
Right. I have to go through and filter my search to remove each source that has "articles that are available to Google to index, but not to me, except for a fee".

Note that in no way am I complaining about using Google to avoid paywalls. I rarely bother.

I'm talking about having to filter out paid content that is indiscernible from free content.
Are you working on making this a reality? Or do you know of people who are, that you can share with us?

Because complaining about, or refusing to buy, Amazon's or Google's offering, is not furthering your desired outcome. The only way to beat them is to actually make what you describe more useful and user-friendly than what they are offering.

Very cool! We've been doing time series with Redis using sorted sets, referencing items by timestamps and integer offsets, and using the clock shift workaround described in the article. Having this kind of thing consolidated down into a few Redis commands would be handy. The API looks clean, too.
It sort of depends on your beliefs on the distribution and development of entrepreneurial talent.

Do you think anyone with the right capital and encouragement can be made into a great entrepreneur? Then what you say makes sense.

On the other hand if you think entrepreneurship is a rare feature that one in a million happen to develop, then you would want to find it wherever you can and bring it to your neighborhood so that when they hire thousands of people, and make them rich, it is your neighbors and friends who get hired and made rich.

Note that even if you believe that there is a lot of luck involved, you are closer to the second model.

Ahh, in that context, which re-reading, I see... definitely.
Yes, but unlike clickbait advertising, microtransactions actually encourage a positive publisher-reader relationship. If you trust a news source to do good journalism and if you don't have to jump through hoops to pay for an article, my bet is that most people would happily throw down ¢10 or something for a good short read (or more for a better read). Conversely, I would be even more reluctant to read click bait if I was asked to pay to view it. So I think that micropayments is similar from a maximizing clicks perspective, but the incentive is actually to build a great relationship with readers.

Show HN: Granular Synthesis in the Browser (Web Audio API, React)
I've been a 'pro' software engineer for a couple decades and the large place's I've worked have actually upgraded machines that actually could be upgraded: with more ram, better video, etc. I did a couple years as an IT Consultant and every single small shop, contractor, developer, video editor, recording studio, who are also 'Pros' by the way, I've ever worked with has always looked to upgrade their hardware before buying again. At $4k - $17k a machine, it's simple math. The machine's not dead, but its time for a new gpu, or hard drive, or more ram. The pc platform is designed for upgrading, from mouse to motherboard. It takes work to make it not.

Thinking about it, Apple's genius has been finding this line: "How closed can we go, how disposable can we make them and maximize churn, while not slowing down buying. We can even create a desire for churn [it's September, time for a new $600 phone, anyone?] Its exactly like the one you have, only different."
As others have pointed out here, the dog and pony show they put on recently, by inviting a select group of reporters (market influencers) into their hq was damage control when several magazines/sites called them out for crossing this line. New machines with lower specs than older machines, gaming battery life tests, irrational pricing, and selling 5 year old spec machines as 'Pro'. I might recommend reading the reporting of the meeting, it's a textbook example of high-end one-on-one selling, impressive location, the appearance of insider-access, sealed with a personal commitment from the leaders.
Meanwhile, they don't have a 'pro' product line, and though they have enough cash on hand to buy every pro team in every sport in the U.S. they haven't made any investments or advancements in pro pc technology in a decade. And that's cool, if apple doesn't want to fill the gap, someone will fill the space eventually.

And I concede that the headphone jack is fine, it;s a combo, first glance i assumed just output. That works.
