>"People generally do love Silicon Valley and what it creates."

No, your average non-techie consumer knows and cares very little about Silicon Valley. People like convenience and innovation that leads to convenience in their lives.
There is no transitive property where if I "love" ride-sharing I "love" Uber's leadership, business tactics and company culture.

>"Ask people to go to a world without iPhones, Facebook, Google, Uber/Lyft and they’ll call you crazy"

Again people like the convenience of the products these companies produce - being able to keep in touch with far away friends and relatives, and the convenience of on demand car service etc. This does not imply that they love surveillance, loss of privacy, sexist office culture, messianic and arrogant CEOs, lack of diversity, tax avoidance schemes or sweat shop labor.
This focuses on finance, and honestly doesn't seem that different than the gripes people had against banks 50 years ago. White men in charge? Not helping solve inequality?
This is unfortunately true, but it isn't representative of the entire effort put forth to acquire apps. I was part of the Microsoft org who was doing this at the time. We were split between breadth engagements (one to many like at universities or hackathons) and depth engagements (one to one). I was working depth engagements helping established companies port existing iOS and Android apps to Windows. The amount of investment from Microsoft in those depth engagements ranged from me helping out with technical barriers for a couple days to hundreds of thousands of dollars in incentives and development effort. It was all about how desirable that name or brand was on other platforms.
There's a huge difference between being elite (we are and I sure am) and elitism. In fact the author stabs at the heart of Silicon Valley elitism:

> Aaah, WPF. It's basically React (Native and hw accelerated!), 10 years earlier.

I'd love if that were true, but of course the big selling point of React Native is that it works on several platforms. WPF works on one, and only a desktop one. Well, now that WP is dead at least.

If WPF ran on iOS / Android, hell even if it just ran on MacOS, I think there'd be a lot more devs building apps in it than JavaScript.

Not all GMO is taking genes from other species. Some, like this article, simply turn off the expression of a specific gene.

> The latter relies on the "genius" of the human

How is that any different than selective breeding?

> something which is inherently fragile.

We've selectively bread many species into very unhealthy breeds. Just look at many do breeds with hip or breathing issues. Selective and cross breeding isn't without risks either.
This is the same tactic the tobacco companies used when people suspected harm caused by cigarettes. When you introduce a foreign process to the world, it's up to the introducer to prove harmlessness, not for the consumer to prove harmfulness. There have been, to this day, no long term tail-risk studies done on GMOs.

If actually done some reading on white supremacists and from what I can see a great number of them are unemployed or on disability. That ones that are employed are never employed at a high level position. The FBI estimates them to be about 5000 in number.

Their CEO is very active here on HN so I'd assume they do know all the feedback, but the bigger goal here is the business itself which seems to be doing well (as evidenced by this new round) so they are probably meeting all of their talent needs.
I can't see why you would be skeptical about bias given studies (not relying on IAT) showing that -- all else being equal -- people with minority names on their resume get significantly less callbacks? The same goes with subtle class cues and identification. If IAT is broken, it's a broken tool. Not every bias test uses it.

The idea that the media is pro-minority when we still have the media pissing themselves over kneeling in protest is silly. Also when Fox News is still watched by a significant portion of Americans. Also when the media constantly shows minorities in negative situations (yes, it's reporting, and information, but that creates biases as well). I mean it's easier to internalize a minority doing a violent crime as "terrible" than it is a white male embezzling funds or something. In addition, a few decades ago the story was not the same. The people who grew up then have developed a bias due to the media and the people who are raised by the people who grew up then will also internalize some of it. Discrimination is not something solved in a generation.

> As an aside, I’ll never understand why people get so upset for rich people making bad bets and losing a bunch of money.

Me neither. Sometimes people get upset that the pensions of teachers and firemen are being spent on subsidizing growth of meal delivery and transportation in San Francisco.

Actually I live in a state that has spent a bunch of taxpayer money on a alt-coin currency based company that recently had an ICO.

p.s. I really don't care if someone wants to make a new food delivery/taskrabbit/uber/dropbox. I wish them luck! I just don't particularly like that little old ladies on fixed incomes are essentially forced to participate in that.
If your goal is environmental health, using less land, less water, then you're better off tackling the larger cause: animal production. It dwarfs crops by those metrics.
While I won't comment on the raw salary numbers, I am curious about how long you feel it should take someone to graduate from "new to the position" to "learning the position"? Because it seems like if that time period is less than two years, you'll be underpaying your long term employees vs. a new hire of equivalent skill, which seems like a not good thing.

Also your Experience Factor Worksheet is private, whether or not you care.
I think they mean the show and not the characters. Even in that case, the show really isn't about nothing anymore than other sitcoms like Friends and Cheers are about nothing. The show still has plot lines. My love of Seinfeld is mostly how well the plot lines within each episode are weaved together and how the show invented so many phrases that we now use (or at least I use and most people understand).

The show is so quotable and relatable even almost 20 years later. Friends also does a pretty good job of this, but my problem with Friends is that you're supposed to like the characters (except Ross maybe) and they're all pretty terrible people. Seinfeld doesn't try and hide how terrible its characters are.

I wouldn't say js runs everywhere... If you're getting started out it's possible they might use shared hosting instead of roll a VPS..so while js/jquery will work everywhere... NODE/JS as a backend won't unless nodejs is installed.

However PHP + Jquery is a good option and it DOES literally work everywhere.. I've run laravel from shared hosting... wanted to kill myself and can't run everything like using a redis cache...

You can also use laravel for backend, frontend, and mobile (as an api). A good mix is laravel api + cordova or ionicframework for the mobile part.
Sure.

Another comment has already pointed out that Julia framework. I'll relink it for completeness: https://fluxml.github.io

Fundamentally different because the notion of what the compiler should be doing is fundamentally different, and the notion of how data should be input is somewhat different.
That's absolutely fine if they are set with explicit values or were assigned with the same double. The main issues used to be with the old x86 80 bit wide floating point registers which meant you could sometimes find x != x depending on whether the number went to memory and back.

Haha, have you actually tried Google Translate? All the websites I translate come out half wrong or untranslated. I doubt "real time speech translation" works any better, probably much worse. Not to mention you need to be online the whole time, but Google fanboys will buy anything...oh wait, isn't that phrase reserved for Apple users only?
"Compiling" throws me off a bit, because I usually think of that as a process that bakes in everything except for I/O. It seems like for Dhall, this is done on-demand, like an interpreter, and so the result of execution could change if the contents of the referenced files change. But I'm not certain how this would extend to ahead-of-time compilation. Would you have to mark file references by whether they are to be read at compile-time or run-time?
definitely helped. MS put a lot of effort into building a slick YouTube app and Google changed the T&Cs the week after it launched or something. Basically issued a takedown of the MS app because it didn't conform to the new standard they'd just introduced. I believe it was that third party apps had to allow ads, even though the iOS and Android apps did not.
>except maybe Mac OS X 10.6? Does anybody remember any critical bugs in that one? I think that might be the unicorn.

That was my first version of OS X & it was a fantastic experience. Played around with XCode, Homebrew, and all sorts of fun technical stuff. Also had it booting on a laptop with a RAID1 setup. Never had an issue with it.

Before that was OS 9. I only ever used it to play Bugdom & can't remember any bugs. Was only 10 when I was introduced to it.

Before that was OS 8. I hardly remember what I ever accomplished with it. Was only about 6 when it was released.

Seems interesting but as with a lot of things, it doesn't deliver to my city. I really would like a platform to "watch" certain startups and get notified when they come to my city. Yes I could sign up for their newsletter but I don't care to get all the spam until they do come to my city.
Given you are interested in working on new ideas, it seems like you are looking at programming from entrepreneurial point of view. If that's true, focus on the problem you want to solve and then pick up tools along the way. Programming is a great skill to have and will go a long way.

If you are looking at programming to gain employment then probably I would pick up data analysis within customer support domain rather than software development at this point in your career. Your employment prospects will improve many folds if you are able to perform data analysis providing industry insight having worked in the industry. Don't throw away your experience, use it for operational analytics.

Handling configuration changes using static references
I've not used CMS, though I have used, long ago, MVS.

My understanding is that CMS followed in its genesis and development spirit a bit more of the Unix development mode. It was more popular among (at least some) users, and as I understood it, a bit of an ugly stepchild / embarrassment to IBM, who considered MVS the more buttoned down, business-oriented, product.

This is based on some long-ago, hazy, second-hand accounts, mind.
The browning only appears as the apple's flesh starts oxydizing after having taken a bite (or a slice) of it and exposing it to the air.

It helps in no way to assess the freshness, taste, quality or anything about the apple. It just makes the exposed flesh turn brown after a few minutes.
Thanks for the feedback, it's something I'll have to think about. If there is enough demand for a lower tier, I'll add it.
It was a bit shocking to me when I first walked into an American super market to see tomatoes all the same big size and shining red color. This is in sharp contrast to what we get in India - they come in all sizes and different shades of orange, green and red.

Even though the American ones were instantly attractive, it slowly dawned on me that perhaps something is wrong. Now I appreciate the Indian vegetables a lot more.

I notice that some of the biggest proponent of basic income are work-aholics, not middle america that’s supposedly at the greatest risk of the incoming AI apocalypse. It’s the same people who eat soylent milkshakes because they don’t have any desire or time to cook for themselves. It’s no wonder they’d love it if the government came by and took away one more obstacle that keeps them from burying their heads in their computers.
I'm confused by your question. If you can't install stunnel how are you going to install python on "a proprietary printer/scanner/copier?"
I strongly disagree especially in the case of social networks. First movers in such spaces have incredible advantages and one of them is a lock-in effect. Countless follow-up social sites have come and gone that either had feature parity or better offerings than Facebook, but failed to get a foothold because of the fact that everyone already had Facebook. Why switch when everyone can already talk and plan?

SV really isn't as much of a meritocracy as people like to pretend, as so many times just being first to the party and locking people in is enough to keep them there. I'm sure tons of businesses on exchange would love to ditch and move to Google Apps for Business, but the change is just too much of a hassle, even if the features are exactly as desired. Same for Google businesses looking at the MS office world with starry eyes.

The merit often has less to do with a product's success and continued success as much as how efficient they are at locking people in. Going back to Facebook, it's not like there's a way to migrate or exfiltrate your data in any meaningful way to another system.

This is an exaggerated comparison, but the mafia adds value much in the same way, in that often you don't have a choice in the matter. This isn't to say people are forced to use Facebook, but much like a mafia town, it's hard to do business otherwise.

Why would they start doing that? Eliminating sexism just means that you don't have any bias, not that you suddenly see them as the next coming.
Yes. They also rewrite stuff half way through and tell you it's the same project just to piss you off. Windows Workflow and Windows Communication Foundation for example.

I'm really disinclined to invest in any of their technology because my headspace is finite and I want to deliver business value, not change the unworn carpets once a year.
Uber/lyft are also slaying yellow/black cabs because the cabs chose to just milk their monopoly for maximum profit for 30 years rather than invest in any technology or make any improvements to rider experience or comfort. It's not just the subsidies. It's the fact that calling random 800 numbers trying to get a cab is really frustrating, especially when they do not show up 20% of the time.

For Amazon... are their margins really that much smaller than Walmart, Target, Costco or anything other big box discount retailer? Many products at Amazon can be found cheaper in a store. It's just really damn convenient to order it on Amazon and have it shipped the next day.
EPEL not being enabled by default I find a little weird, but sure it's not the end of the world.

It's pretty common for something with a large following to have two entirely different but mutually valid experiences of its fanbase. That can emerge in pretty much all apparently incongruent reports in society. For example, in a salary thread here on HN, one person might say he doesn't know anyone at Google earning more than $250,000, and he knows 20 engineers, someone else will chime in and say she knows 20 people earning that or more at the same level, etc.
With the right strategy, making money is not essential. Like Google with the Nexus a few years ago, MS needs only to build reference hardware to keep OEMs on the straight and narrow, then collect elsewhere (with preinstalled services or OS that OEMs end up distributing).

The problem is that "elsewhere" is currently occupied by Google (in terms of ubiquity) and Apple (in terms of profit), so MS has been pushed into the uncomfortable role of luxury OEM, and there is no major money there regardless of whether you make phones or laptops.

Venture Capital overall is a tiiiiny part of an investment portfolio. Compared to other amounts of capital allocation it’s pretty much a rounding error, and Juicero is a tiny piece of any portfolio.

The funds investing in Juicero and losing will have other 100x wins that will make them not worry about Juicero.

That’s why Silicon Valley works. It’s 1x wrong often, but occasionally 100x right.
