It's in my portfolio because I believe in the revolutionary value of the technology and the anonymous position of its founder is profoundly unique and powerful.

If you want to invest, in anything, the best bet is to form a plan and stick to it.

What's the overall best plan? There isn't one. But dollar cost averaging with buy-and-hold gets close. What's that? Invest the same amount every fixed period of time. Like, 100$ every Tuesday or $500 on the first of the month. It doesn't matter, do what you're comfortable with. But don't buy more when it looks cheap and don't sell when it looks high. Just keep building, just keep building.

What else? Once your plan is in motion kill all your google alerts and rss feeds and so on and so forth. You need emotional distance or you will drive yourself crazy. Basically build a machine and let it work.

This site is pretty good at sniping comments that would pass a 'is this reddit quality?' discriminator on generic NLP but I think the underlying idea is interesting under the context of 'what now brown cow?' Elon Musk has done his job getting EVs kickstarted. I suspect he's happy to move along and work on tunnels and rockets. Tesla principally needs some capital security, some quality tech managers and bench, and some just plain maturity in investor relations. The two would do pretty well in brand alignment in general. Apple needs, on a shareholder concern basis, to find markets of large enough size to matter, and Tesla has its toes in some extremely large markets. Anyway that's the hypothesis for those that want to ponder 'how does Apple do something other than make iPhones'. Thanks for the downvotes anyway, bots.
Ask HN: How to do small business sales?
I am working on a side project that is targeted at small businesses, like restaurants and cafes, etc. Basically anyone with a Square Register/etc. is a potential customer. My partner on this project owns a cafe himself, and we've validated the idea at his cafe and at his friends' cafes. They all find it useful, and had worse solutions before.

We're looking at ways to start outbound sales. What are some strategies that work for small businesses? Would cold-calling (like with a real phone) work? How about cold-emailing? Conferences? Something else?

Appreciate any advice you have.

First, I did not say the side-sticks are the fully responsible factor for the accident, but a contributing factor.

Second (and as noted in the parallel subthread), the BEA report does not include cockpit transcripts in section 2, 2.1, and relevant subsections, in describing the cockpit situation. It mentions specific utterances of the crew, but not in the specific context and sequence they occurred. Other reports do include these transcripts and from them it's highly probable that multiple inputs were being supplied, or that even if that was not the case it could not be ruled out readily.

There are multiple references in the BEA report of the level of confusion and complexity of the situation. The merits of scheduling the Captain's relief in the ITCZ crossing, the flight path itself relative to other aircraft which had diverted around the region, the loss of instrument readings, autopilot disconnects, multiple audio alerts, the disabling of a master alarm that wasn't clearly deliberate, the stated confusion of both co-pilots, the switching to and from "alternate law" of aircraft controls, and more.

Adding ambiguity of flight controls, feedback, and possible multiple inputs in the context of all of this again strikes me as, well, a disaster that actually happened.

In a description based on the full transcript:

Unlike the control yokes of a Boeing jetliner, the side sticks on an Airbus are "asynchronous"—that is, they move independently. "If the person in the right seat is pulling back on the joystick, the person in the left seat doesn't feel it," says Dr. David Esser, a professor of aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "Their stick doesn't move just because the other one does, unlike the old-fashioned mechanical systems like you find in small planes, where if you turn one, the [other] one turns the same way." Robert has no idea that, despite their conversation about descending, Bonin has continued to pull back on the side stick.

I'm impressed. But how did you figure all that out in the first place?
You were a bit ranting in your previous response, but let me try to answer this. It is actually impossible to tell, given your sample, because we do not know the sample size. Given infinite samples, it is guaranteed that both of these runs are going to happen for a fair coin. On the other hand, if both are representative of full sample size, the later is clearly the fair coin because it more closely approximates 50/50.
You cannot build the world based on the strength of individuals' moral spine, because a) there's plenty of people with weak ones who will happily outcompete individuals refusing unethical work, and - the more important - b) people respond to incentives. For instance, we have the law and the police even though people in general seem naturally good - they exist to counterbalance incentives that make people do bad things. Saying "just own up to it instead of pretending the real culprit here is a lack of governing bodies that should be protecting you from all the evil money out there" ignores the most basic fact about humans - people do respond to incentives.

Moral dilemmas don't look like "do I accept this high salary for doing evil, or prefer a slightly smaller salary for not doing evil". Moral dilemma is what a hypothetical Jane faces, after one of her parents died and the second is unemployed, when she has to provide for the parent and her younger siblings, while also trying to start her own life with her fiancée. For her, abandoning a high-paying salary that is actually eaten up entirely to let two families live in stability and with dignity, is not a trivial problem. The idea of having support of governing bodies is to turn such life-quality-threatening situations into easy choices, so that people don't get severely punished for doing the right thing.

Also: ethics can be, and is, used to abuse people. In Poland, we have this situation with paramedics, nurses and doctors on residency, who are severely overworked (to the point it's a serious health threat, and causes an occasional suicide), severely underpaid, and on top of that they're told by everyone that they can't protest because that would mean providing worse care for patients, which is obviously unethical.

C++ has a standard which contains extremely precise descriptions of how things work which is more than can be said for many languages. How many other languages are there that have three major compiler and standard library implementations with almost no common code yet which all manage to be largely compatible (able to compile the same code and agree on the meaning)?

Some of the complexity of C++ comes from it doing hard things, some is in part a consequence of heroic efforts at backwards compatibility. There are areas of the language that most people stay away from or use in very constrained ways like multiple inheritance that are unlikely to be deprecated for backwards compatibility reasons but in my many years of professional C++ development multiple inheritance has never caused practical difficulties for me precisely because everybody stays away from it except for pure abstract interfaces.

UI issues contribute to situational complexity, stress, ambiguity, and failures to respond appropriately to circumstances.

And whilst the BEA report ... rather inexplicably, frankly ... fails to mention the inputs issues, it does address all the other factors I've described here.
That’s a very strong claim, though, given that we’re explicitly talking about hypothetical future systems as opposed to “existing neural network systems”. After all, taking the definition of “machine learning” to the extreme, it could include a system based on simulating an entire human brain. So the statement would necessarily imply that either:

(a) brain simulation is fundamentally impossible for some reason (insert your favorite argument for why this should be the case), or

(b) epsilon adversarial examples exist that fool humans (we just haven’t found any).

Personally, I think (b) is more likely than (a), but it seems much more likely that neither is true: that the human visual system is resilient at least to some extent (...for some epsilon), and could hypothetically be simulated by a machine. It would stand to reason that building a resilient system doesn’t require simulating a human, either, or nearly as much computational power as that would take (given that emulation is inherently very inefficient, and that visual processing only takes up a part of the human brain and seems to be done pretty well by animals with simpler brains). But it might require much more computational power than we have today…

On the other hand, if you limit computational power to around today’s level, and consider only potential architectural changes, the statement seems more plausible to me.

What exactly is Threat Intelligence and how to collect it?
Hi
I am trying to understand when someone says Threat Intelligence what exactly it means?
There are multiple companies who are doing business in this area and I don't know what exactly their product is and what they sell. Does Threat Intelligence mean providing information about some attack before hands?
And I am interested in knowing how threat intelligence is collected, what are the different sources and ways by which threat intelligence can be created/collected.

Every time, that's the argument. "Well everyone should become a founder if they care so much!" Ad absurdum.

The right answer is for employees to start calling bullshit on the standard Silicon Valley equity agreement, where Emp#1 signs up for 1% (imagine having 1% of Google!!), Emp#2 takes .6%, Emp #10 goes with .05%, and so on... often unaware the founders hold 60%+ between the 2-3 of them.

It's appropriate for there to be a falloff in equity, but it's just too lopsided today. Emp#1 should ask how much the minority founder holds, and ask for (say) 80% of that. You spent 6 weeks without pay? Great, you get more reward. But not 50X more than #1. After all, the payoff is only if the company is successful, many years later... when those unpaid weeks are minor relative to the collective sacrifices of the company in whole.
Yes, the MPEG-2 decoder in your TV needs to be fast enough to keep up with the transmitted data rate, but that doesn't mean that it has instantaneous stream startup times.

Your TV doesn't have the information it needs to start displaying MPEG-2+ATSC A/53 video for as long as 700ms. It needs to buffer quite a bit of timing information and at least an I-picture frame before it can start displaying anything:
http://www.bretl.com/mpeghtml/startbuf.HTM

Not only that - the overall standard has tight timing tolerances to keep video arriving at the encoder/transmitter in-sync with audio/video leaving the decoder in your TV. It's not like MP3 streaming where every client has its own buffer size and time to start playing depending on network conditions, bitrate, etc.

Having a reliable buffering process to keep receivers in-sync is a feature, not a bug.
Exactly. Just having two decoders instead of one would drastically improve the 80% use case of consecutive channel surfing.
I must say I found this very very clever -- I worked for one of said startups and at the end, a tombstone is kinda how it feels.
But the backwards compatibility is taken so seriously because it is so valuable, much more valuable in practice in my experience than the supposed benefits of creating a new incompatible language with fewer features.

No doubt, the content is the essence of all presentations. All tools are just aids.

As you suggest, we have been perfecting presentation for thousands of years. To an extent, powerpoint has captured some of the best ways of communication in my opinion. In particular, the ability to annotate a picture is one of those. After all, a picture is worth more than thousand words.

Having said that, there are many ways of communication. Our existing presentation tools have only captured a few of them. We need more.
We have some recent TVs. They have no buttons. Including power buttons. If you want to turn them on, you need the remote control.

You need to install a user mode drive to leverage already existing kernel code with your device.

I assume this is what ADB does, using the Microsoft provided WinUSB kernel mode driver and associating it with your mobile phone USB vendor and product ID. There's not a single line of code in such a driver, just some INF descriptors.

There might also be different forms of user mode driver, not sure how they work.
And the way to solve this -- at least for the case of consecutive channel surfing -- is to have multiple decoders and multiple buffers. It's simply precaching.
I disagree with the point that "there's no alternative to crafting a well-structured presentation". I'd argue that a jupyter notebook or equivalent (e.g. pweave) is 1000X better than powerpoint.

I see several comments here that accuse Percona of bias against Maria for commercial reasons. If you look at Percona's services:

https://www.percona.com/services/support/support-tiers-mysql...

They will happily take your money to support MariaDB. Percona Toolkit and Percona XtraBackup both support MariaDB.

I have no dog in this fight -- I've left MySQL behind years ago and don't really miss it. I've hired Percona to help with some urgent DB problems I couldn't solve on my own and I was pleased with their work, but I have no stake in standing up for them. But the idea that they have some vested interest in pushing for MySQL over MariaDB doesn't seem born out by what they're selling.

Booting a computer doesn't have to be slow, and that's even more true for embedded computers. But making the boot process fast requires very careful engineering, which is both a rare skill and also not very well supported by management for consumer products companies.
Practically, it is not possible to implement the spec in an interoperable way. Existing implementations are mutually incompatible. Hence the need for config flags per "trunk". What one system requires, another will reject. Sad but true.
Eventually you're going to run into RF limits, especially if the signal is coming in over the air.
