The person in charge of science in the US House of Representatives generally doesn't believe in science when it conflicts with the companies that fund his campaigns. He thinks climate science is "fake news" and that fracking is good for the environment and there is no need to investigate it further. He is actually a writer for a "fake news" website called Breitbart.

Voters in Texas don't care.

Dooly - Vancouver, BC, Canada

We're building a note taking app for sales folks. Take notes in Dooly, we update Salesforce for you, and we surface information in the moment to close deals.

Check out our website: https://www.dooly.ai

Salesforce is broken. You pay a lot of money for the software, then you hire an administrator, and then no one puts the data in because it's not helping them do what they were hired for: to sell. We're on a mission to fix that.

We've spent the last year building a foundation and obsessing on early customers.. we're now seeing the fruits of that.

Our customers tell us that they love and couldn't live without Dooly, including some well-known valley brands that we're excited to have using. New deals are coming in on an almost weekly basis. Now we're ramping up to deliver knowledge in the moment and help our customers be the smartest people in their meetings.

We're a small, super-passionate team and we're looking to bring onboard a third well-rounded engineer. Our stack is es6/react/redux on the frontend and rails on the backend. Everyone here is passionate about design and bringing consumer-grade product to the enterprise.

Send me an email if you're in Vancouver or if anything caught your attention!

Won't work. If a mining cartel agrees to keep difficulty and hashrate low, they're just making it easier for those outside the cartel to mine more Bitcoin.

I wonder how viable covering parking lots would be in areas where you get a lot of snow. At some point, you will have to find a way to remove it - sometimes even a bunch of ice.

But, it has a bonus of keeping the precipitation that would land on your vehicle. That might just be its best feature.
They're referring to the format of "click to find out!" when it can be mentioned right there in the title.

That nobody is going "oh boy, so what has been wrought using the piece table?" is part of their point.
I agree with Amber Rudd. Furthermore, something needs to be done about whispering. Terrorists have been whispering their plans to each other so softly that we can't overhear them. How about we enforce a decibel minimum for all human vocalizations? That'll make us safer.
By "locally", you mean "in the same network"; I don't believe you have to connect your device physically to the computer.

In my field it often comes down to 'mechanism'. If you see an effect of part X on part Y, via statistics, you could write a paper, and do good science.

However, if you have an experiment that pulls X from the system, watches Y fail, then readds X in a new way to recreate the system, you can be much more certain that X influences Y. That becomes a much desired, "elegant" experiment.

The later experiment is often harder, and might not even be proposable until you've seen some statistical effect. However the scientific results from that experiment really don't hinge on statistical signifigances. The results are either binary in result, or better yet, contradictory - elucidating hitherto unknown variables (something a purely statistical result won't help with). And if mechanism is shown in multiple systems, with multiple techniques, the results can very quickly become near-definitive.

Why Falling Home Prices Could Be a Good Thing
I probably won't pay a dollar per article, that'd be hundreds of bucks per month for me (if you count all articles I read, skim or glance at), but I'd pay a couple of cents. The problem is I don't see how to make pricing structure transparent, and how to avoid gateway problems like we have with cable TV - where to get 3 channels you need you have to subscribe to 200 channels of junk and pay for it all.

There should be a model where it does not incur significant cognitive load when I want to read an article, and does not allow abuse by dishonest players. I imagine some billionaires could be made that way. Brave browser team seems to be working on something like that, no idea how good it would be...

Not as much as some would believe. The change from NT 5.x to NT 6.0 (Vista) wasn't really a rewrite in any sense of the word, at least no more than Linux 4.0 is a "rewrite" compared to 3.0, despite that all the little chunks had been touched over eventually.

Many applications (such as Notepad and Paint) derive directly from the original Windows 1.0 versions.
I think that would come too much in conflict with another principle:

"We must remember that we’re investors, not bosses. We can advise and persuade, but not command."

As I understand it, YC is pretty hands off. It's mostly an (usually amazing) advisor you come to with questions when you have them, plus alumni network, plus dinners/demo day. I don't think they can really make people be good instead of bad.

I think if anything, they simply won't fund people that they believe will not do good.
These are in a lot of municipal parking lots for the cities/towns that fill the land between San Jose and San Francisco. At the coast haven't seen any in the smaller rural towns only 30 miles away.
Can you not store the result of those calculations, as a means of "reversing" them?

As someone who's not directly programmed GPUs before, they look quite intimidating and opaque; certainly, that's the sense I get from HN threads and the like.
If I'm understanding you, this seems like unwarranted cynicism, and I say this as someone who is quite cynical of blockchain technologies.

Would you also criticize the current state of Ethereum as "proof of Nvidia" and imply that Ethereum is centrally controlled by Nvidia, just because Nvidia makes the GPUs that many people are using to mine it?
Redis Streams could be a nice real-time counterpart to http://traildb.io: For instance, use Streams in Redis to record data in real-time and periodically store it in TrailDBs for long-term archival and analysis.

Write a better replacement in your magic language of choice then.
Leaving aside he topic of money, as I've no intention of going down that rabbit hole of bs:

People have no idea what the quality of our work is: bad, good, or in-between. You have neither the expertise nor the information by which to judge. The Chief Quality Officer (and former anesthesiologist) at (major academic medical center) once told me, "I have access to more quality data than absolutely anyone else in this hospital ... and I still have no idea who the good surgeons are and who the bad ones are. I haven't known that since I left working in the operating room every day, when I actually saw them all work day after day." What he doesn't know, you certainly do not.

You know all those posts here about how managers have unrealistic expectations, and constantly misunderstand what software devs actually do? It's like that, only moreso.
Yes. Along with - as I assume you're alluding to - state that you might not intend to share along with the current state of the document.
One comment? The only positive one I saw was antirez's at the time I wrote this, and as of now the top comment calls it "scam faux outrage," the reply to which insinuates that this person is not worth listening to on this subject and/or is less experienced because they're a feminist, accusing feminists of "browbeating."

The second comment from the top is your typical "kids these days" trope about snowflakes and says they're "very tired of feminism."

Further down people imply you can't talk to women anymore because you'll be accused of harassment for no reason ("Wouldn't surprise me, in this atmosphere..."), dismissively ask why this needs to be discussed, blame the humanities for killing America with the cult of identity politics, claim all powerful women in tech are frauds, bemoaning this being "another SJW crybaby piece," and finally, above that one, someone who noticed the same thing I did ("As for other comments, I am really annoyed that mostly people come just here to complain that such article exists, and take all the space.") and someone who agrees with them.

All of the comments in here that are saying something like,

> "well at Bitcoin's current throughput it consumes X, and $large_financial_institution does Y, Bitcoin's equivalent energy usage would be Z"

have a fundamental misunderstanding of Bitcoin's mining. The current difficulty to a produce a block is the same, regardless of the transaction throughput of the system. The Merkle root of the block's transactions goes into the block header, and that is hashed over and over. Empty blocks or huge blocks would require approximately the same energy in mining effort.

5 CSS Properties That You Probably Don't Know
See my other comments--I drive a Volt too. :-)
If you mostly believe in capitalism, then the link is basically: people being productive = more stuff gets done, and if they're earning money for it, that means people are happy to pay for it. So basically, productivity is a good thing in general.

I'd wager most economists would say that productivity is the single most important thing to improve in general, though they'd be talking about the economy in general, and YC is interested in taking specific people and making them more productive. The same principle applies though - more stuff is done, and if someone is paying for it, it must in genearl be good.

(There are obviously exceptions to this - cheating/scamming/doing illegal things, etc).
Tech culture used to be pretty anti government I think
I live in a rural area that exemplifies what you are saying. The grocery store parking lot is full of trucks and SUVs that, at most, see a bit of snow on the plowed roads in the winter. At the same time I own two vehicles, a Ford F-150 and a Nissan Xterra. I use both for a lot more than grocery getting. I own three horses and tow a trailer regularly. The Xterra is used for camping and climbing trips that require a bit of off roading on a regular basis. All that being said, I would love to have an electric for commuting and short trips. I live 10 miles from work, I don't need much range.

My own objections to (some) climate change mitigations are philosophical.

In summary - models of the effects of AGW have proved largely useless in terms of predicting the impact of same, or even the existence of net negative impact.

So why are we proposing to spend vast sums of money, not to mention increasing the price of energy, to address this issue?

The Developer’s Guide to Building vs. Buying Services
I'm in my early 30s, and I consider that to be pretty young. Part of it maybe that my great-grandpa & grandpa lived into their 80s. My grandpa was also physically active till the end, and he only passed away when he did because his body couldn't sustain the surgery.

My dad is in his early 60s, and doesn't plan on retiring/chilling before 70. I'm hoping he enjoys his 70s & 80s playing with his future grandchildren.

I had a related reaction, which is that the problems you're mentioning can become more complex when using libraries outside the standard library with static languages.

E.g., my experience is that poor library design can sometimes be exacerbated in statically typed languages if the type logic is poor and doesn't match the problem domain. Dynamic languages sometimes inadvertently "correct" for this by smoothing over these sorts of issues.

I prefer static languages (or at least optionally typed ones) but there can be big downsides of the sort you're mentioning, that are exacerbated by third-party libraries.
Yes, that was the reason we were told we had to do it on paper, in case the systems failed. Only we always did it on paper, not just for practice.

While you bring up an interesting point, I'm not sure why my comment reminded you of it--the lifestyle that makes it awkward for me to drive an EV is the lifestyle I actually already have.

AWD is something that everybody thinks they need while much of the time FWD + snow tires is equally good or better in normal snowy conditions. I was willing to give up AWD because I'd only need it about 1% of the time and I'm comfortable with FWD+snow tires. I wasn't willing to add the hassle of charging the car to a day trip to go skiing.
Pretty sure nothing that creepy was intended. More like wine is often thought of a "special occasion" type of drink (especially in the US), and so opening a bottle is a non-standard occurrence at dinner time. If you're a guest, it may seem rude to ask somebody to open their "special" wine.

But if you are cooking with the wine, you already have the bottle open. Since an opened bottle of wine will rapidly deteriorate if you don't drink it within a fairly short time period (day or so), you may as well drink the remainder, thus put the open bottle on the table (where family/guests are gathered), and it will be consumed with relish.
