I can't find the sources right now, but I think linguistic studies have confirmed that the celts and germans could not have come from the same origin. My impression has always been that the celts were the original inhabitants of western Europe and the British Isles and the Germanic/Nordic tribes slowly conquered and assimilated them into their culture.

I am not a historian of course. Would love to hear counterpoints; I'm interested in historical facts not propaganda :) .
Well, as another poster already said, there's high-end, and then there's luxury.

Take a look at this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/business/economy/high-end...

So high-end medical care is like a really good health plan that covers a lot of procedures. It's good enough for most people, not like the US's public safety net. You pay a little more but the market is there.

The article above is an example of a LUXURY health care service. The consumers really don't care how much they spend, but every time they got the sniffles, they get tended to by the top specialists in the field.

Kudos to the Walnut founders to realize so quickly that they'd have to pivot into the luxury segment of moving, not just the high-end one, as the luxury segment is lucrative, and the high-end non-existent.
How about this:

If your left neighbor is on, then turn on only if your right neighbor is off.

Sell it all as soon as you possibly can.

I've worked for public companies that went from $80/share to $2/share (Sun Microsystems) and from $24 to $4 (Groupon) and in both cases, I knew a LOT of people that just held on, thinking the decline was temporary.

In fact, if it's a regular monthly or quarterly vest, look into setting up a 10b5-1 plan to automatically sell your shares even during blackout periods. The broker handling the shares for you will often do this for free.

This is a side note, but most members of the Android team at Google used to have 256 GB of RAM on their computers to compile Android (the entire build). When we used Android Studio, it was blazing fast so most devs that didn't work with users were not aware there was a problem.
Yep, they have been attacking people who criticize them for years. Nassim Taleb has done a good job of calling them out.

The sad part is all the "scientists" who take money from them to do "research" and, shockingly, find only positive things about Monsanto's products.
Actually, I see the same problems, but in my opinion those are symtoms. I do not know whats the real problem behind it, but it seems related to financing.

Something must have change in recent years, which changed the way scientists work nowadays. While I left academia too, I wish scientists would have the freedom to work on larger/long term subjects again.
The 5 Key Measurements of Product Success
(I havent read the whole article, but havent seen other replies mention this)

Unreal uses an architecture called deferred rendering[1]. It's more complex, but allows for a lot more tricks and the main benefit is that lighting performance is closer to constant, instead of increasing or decreasing with how many lights you have.

Forward rendering is the simpler alternative[2]. For Unreal, they had a forward renderer for mobile and were introducing one as an option for VR since the minimum frame time can be shorter.

Dictionary of Ro: Why should a word not be a picture?
Not many people have vesting shares of publicly traded companies that are still startup volatility. Blame the IPO market on that.
What I mean is that just writing off someone's concerns because it is a so-called fallacy instead of actually addressing their concern isn't ideal.

"This actually isn't a slippery slope because $REFUTATION" is better than "That's just a slippery slope fallacy".
Pretty rare for publicly traded companies to just drop to 0.
Obviously depends where you are located, and how you define middle class.

FWIW, this article offers a much better definition of middle class based on historical standards in the USA:

During my PhD studies, most students I talked to were aware of the lack of professorships available. The issue, however, was that certain departments/professors really frowned upon PhD students exploring jobs in industry (some departments were great though). I was in engineering and the professors were generally helpful with trying to connect you to people they knew in industry. Departments like Psychology were the opposite though. Some students would search for industry jobs without telling their advisor because they feared they would be ignored and not supported throughout the rest of their PhD if they said they were going into industry. Some of the tenured professors only cared about increasing the number of academics who studied in their lab. They didn't care much about whether the students were happy or were following their interests.

I've worked as a consultant in software development and product management for a few years. There are a few things you should consider.

One is how much you want to focus on this business. Maybe helping people for free is fun and you don't think there's enough demand to make you a significant amount of money. If you have a good day job and don't want to do extra tax paperwork for an extra $2000/year of income, it might not be worth it. On the other hand, if you've got real companies who need your stuff and you can make it much easier for them, you might have a high-value consulting offering. Try to ballpark the value you could create. For example, if a company typically spends one dev-month setting up your system, but you can help them get it done in a day, then you plausibly have a very high-value service worth several thousand dollars. If the challenges in your system tend to appear once it's in use at scale, and it has many large-scale users, then the value of expert help can be much higher.

Assuming you do want to make a business around this, you should also explore what kind of business. People are contacting you for assistance, so selling assistance is one straightforward option. But maybe there are better solutions? For instance, if they're looking for help with deployment, maybe it makes sense to offer a hosted version they can just buy. If they're looking for integration with existing systems, maybe those integrations are something you can build -- custom initially, but with re-sale potential as future users want to integrate similar systems.

Finally, similar to how you help students I also like to assist/mentor people starting new ventures. If I can help feel free to contact me at shimon@rura.org.
Just looked up Ante, and it has some compelling bulletpoints.

However, development on the language hadn't even started by the time Rust hit 1.0. I like to play on the bleeding edge sometimes but I wouldn't write a large sideproject in a language that new.

And of course, as you stated it is a significant whitespace language, which isn't usually my cup of tea.

I will certainly keep an eye on its development though, thanks for the heads up.
Imagine you had the money today (you'd already, automatically sold all the stock). How much would you buy?

Once you've figured that out sell everything except the amount you would buy.

This is the correct answer. When your publicly traded company pays you in stock, they're just giving you cash in an inconvenient form. If you wouldn't use this hypothetical cash to buy stock in your company, you should liquidate it all immediately.

Note that so long as you have unvested stock and intend to stay at your company, you essentially already are invested in your company. And since you said your unvested stock is worth 10x your salary, you'll probably have more exposure to the stock than you ideally want even if you do sell all your shares. So keeping some probably doesn't make much sense.
Very good point! You don't get "how to write a browser" books in the same way you do with game engines. I wonder if it's because game engines are just more appealing? And also, you can build your own cut-down game engine and that's still useful, whereas there's a very high threshold of functionality needed before a browser is useful.

They're actually similar in some ways -- there are a handful of browers and a handful of AAA game engines, and they're all either open source or at least licensable source.
How many "systems" do you think your run-of-the-mill startup has?

What is the alternative? As most of things in life, the answer is "it depends". It depends on the size of the company, the type of candidate they are looking, the industry, and so on.

But let's assume we are talking about the average startup that is neither looking for superstar candidates nor only looking for fresh graduates from Stanford. For those cases, I believe that one simple programming task, that exercises some of the technology required can be used as a screening filter. The task should not take more than 2 hours to reach a working state. If the solution presented by the candidate is satisfactory, then you go to the interview to discuss the solution and how they got to the solution, the things that were easy/hard, and so on. Then you ask about the things that are missing, and the candidate's evaluation on how they would like to tackle.

Is that a satisfactory alternative?
More broadly, Monsanto's aggressively anti-farmer and anti-scientist positions (and poor optics/PR) have done immense damage to the public perception of GMO crops and foods. GM food is a technology that offers the possibility to greatly expand yield, nutrition and hardiness of crops: it is essential to the continued improvement of our world food supply.

But with Monsanto at the helm (or at least most frequently associated), their unethical business practices shine a bad light on GMOs as an entire field. It's a shame that the forerunner in this extremely important area could not act as more of a positive envoy on behalf of GM technology.

Resignation syndrome: Sweden's mystery illness
It's worth pointing out that Reverend Enos Hitchcock is complaining about the content of the books, not necessarily the medium of books. This is a different kind of moralizing from what the parent is talking about IMO (personally didn't think he was really moralizing, but perhaps that's just me). The parent article seems to be more worried about the medium of the Internet, and the tools being used.

Arguments against the book (e.g. Plato) may have largely been wrong in their day, but it seems short sighted to dismiss any criticisms about the Internet and the tools we use today simply on this basis. We can perhaps be cautious as a result, but that's about it.
That's why I look for a job so I can then be paid and eat food using that money. Such clown asses.

For ML/deep learning tasks you should definitely use a dedicated GPU. I would recommend our GPU+ (NVIDIA Quadro M4000/P4000) which has 8GB of VRAM and 1664 CUDA cores.
This reminds me of the worst readme I ever read:
http://dpdk.org/browse/apps/pktgen-dpdk/tree/README.md

It's extremely long and almost impossible to read. It starts off as it means to go on:

Pktgen is a traffic generator powered by Intel's DPDK at wire rate traffic with 64 byte frames.

For that to work as a sentence, it needs the phrase "capable of generating packets" putting in the middle.

A bit lower down it spends 200 lines showing what happens if you type "ls" in various folders on the developer's machine. Helpful.

It's fascinating to try to read because it's so mad.

If you are the author, I'm happy to provide some more constructive feedback...
Exactly this happened to me returning from an eclipse-watching destination this summer. Major highway was terribly clogged, so it routed thousands of us to a side road, which turned out to be much, much worse. It sucked. Took us five hours to do a two-hour drive. People who stayed on the highway got there in 3-4.

That being said, every single other time Waze has routed me off the highway unexpectedly, it's been a godsend.
The yellow sofa example in the article looked very convincing.
The extension uses a lot of data points (including your browser history) to decide what to flattr. But we never get the full data, the algorithm runs in the browser and only the results (the flattrs) are sent to us. This is the most privacy friendly solution possible that still gives enough data for us to know who should get the money and for you to know what you flattred. As well as for creators and publishers to know what content actually generated the money.
Yep, depending on how tight/loose the pants fit, you can also put a key in there. Won't fall out as easily as from the normal pocket.
UAW Files Claim That Tesla Fired Workers Who Supported Union
Very interesting. So are the modern Germans descendents of the 'barbaric' ones? Is the distinction made only for separating the earlier pagans from the Christianized tribes?
And is the distancing only for religious, or for cultural reasons as well? I mean, were the modern Germans really more 'civilized' (whatever that means) than the barbaric ones, or is it just propaganda?

For example, in most states mental health therapists are required to finish their course of study with a certain large number of hours working "under supervision". They pay for the supervision, but at the same time they are working, so they are paid by their patients. Paying for an education isn't a scam.

If registered dietitians have to pay for their "internship", where they actually do work for the facility but don't get paid for it, yes, I think that's a scam too. Just because it's institutionalized doesn't make it an ethical practice.
Best advice i have ever received in my entire life. Although i know this internally i wasn't able to make it actionable. I had to read it one a blog to decide to act on these ideas myself.
Speaking of "original inhabitants" of the British Isles there was a fascinating Time Team special that mentioned that there were 7 waves of human occupation of Britain - with each of the previous six waves completely dying out.
I agree with most of this. However, I might take issue with the motivation you ascribe to professors: "only car[ing] about increasing the number of academics who studied in their lab." Another explanation, one that I find myself feeling sometimes, is simply mismatched incentives. Practicing academics and students headed to industry simply have different incentives, and that can add friction to the relationship.

I think it would be helpful and useful for departments to consider other ways to facilitate industry pathways that don't so heavily rely on the advisor.
I'm pretty sure the radiator you need for an EV is much smaller. You need cooling, but not a whole lot. The cooling needs are similar to what you need for cooling the cabin, so the radiator will be similar to a normal car's AC radiator. The intake is just a small gap between the hood and the front of the car, not the giant grille most cars have.

The Greatest Sales Pitch I've Seen All Year
I've been on several UC Berkeley archeology / anthropology projects in California with native Californians and students are required to respect the native culture to the extreme of being required to pray to native gods and remaining outside the view of all other people while having a period. Obviously, I don't believe compliance to be 100%. Native people must be around to observe everything, their rituals performed at every work site, and any site where human remains are encountered must be left and closed again with a much more elaborate process. Far from being informed and respectful, the average UC Berkeley student today arrives, having grown up in CA, thinking native Californians are completely extinct! So, there are very different native cultures in CA to this day, and it is very unlikely that the average Californian starts with any insight into how different the peoples recorded on these cylinders may view this process. Anything that happens at UC's anthropology department happens in a cultural minefield of constant explosions of controversy. Any project at Phoebe Hearst is ethically fragile and liable to be looked back upon as a travesty in less than a decade.
I'm pretty sure Taobao in China has had this for ages. Search suggests[0] since as early as 2011.

Some brilliant mind who lurks on HN should create a competitor to eBay. Not some online yard sale where you have to meet people in person for the exchange, but a nice online marketplace for people to sell their stuff.

If this already exists, do tell.

In my opinion, eBay for sellers (outside of maybe the power sellers. I've sold <100 items) is a nightmare.

I sold a Tiffany necklace a few months back. The buyer reported to eBay it was fake and I was ordered to refund the seller and they could keep the fake item. Long story short, over a span of a few weeks, I was lucky enough to get an original receipt from Tiffany and supply it as evidence, which almost still did not work.

More recently, I listed an old iPhone with a "buy it now". Sold in like 30 minutes to someone with an "@god[dot].com" email requesting I send the phone first and then he will pay me. It took a week or longer for me to challenge this. I even have settings to disallow certain types of eBay users based on ratings etc. eBay still charged me a listing fee.

I had success doing a non buy it now sale after that. Maybe that is my only option now.

I don't even feel like getting into how slow their seller admin tools are ...
Like the other commenter said, game engines are a huge topic. The game engine architecture book has a nice overview (even though it's hefty), you would probably want an equal size book on each aspect of a game engine; graphics, networking, dynamics, audio, ai, etc. I haven't read it, but also heard good things about the real time rendering book. I did look at the game engine architecture book looking for info about deferred rendering and it was fairly shallow (but thats not the goal of the book). If I remember correctly--the book actually points you to more detailed resources (papers) and books.
Degrees usually tell me more about how cooperative, mature, and responsible someone is than how skilled they are.
