I can't imagine the number of people who paid for non-Hollywood content on YouTube was anything more than miniscule. There is a social contract on YouTube -- if I enjoy your videos I will "like" them, share them, and maybe subscribe to you. It's your job as a content creator to turn those numbers into a business if that's what you are trying to do (as opposed to a hobby), and there are ample ways of doing that. As a YouTube viewer I am already being treated as "the product" as the old saying goes in multiple ways. Paying directly for videos goes completely against the entire ethos of YouTube. There are other sites for that.
> Just as Codd pointed out in his original papers, relations allow you to not have to make a choice about a hierarchy for your data.

Or, alternatively, make it really painful when you do actually need to query hierarchies, along the lines of "give me all the tuples above this one in the hierarchy".
G&G: A hotly debated question in the tech investor community is, “What is the single most important factor for startup success?” Some say it’s the team. Some say it’s the product/market fit. Others say it’s timing. Obviously, all three are important, but if picked one single factor, which would it be?

Chris: I’d say opportunity is the most important. I often meet talented entrepreneurs who put an incredible amount of time and effort into solving problems that ultimately lack real market opportunity.

It’s a waste of their talents. I’d roll back on the team that’s doing something unproductive because it’s an awesome team. I will bet on an exceptional team if they’re doing something productive. By that hierarchy, the opportunity is first, people the second.

I've heard this from quite a few VCs. The difference between a good and great engineer is 10x. The difference between a good and bad market is 100x.
I've heard stories of unplugged loudspeakers turning into AM radios with enough power pumped into the air, so there's that too.
I agree. Awesome. I hop you write more, maybe on medium.com? I have been shit on for my views; the 'lock the door' kind, trying to address the complexity aspect, not putting oneself in a position of vulnerability. You know, common sense. Accused of being misogynist, etc. when trying to inject logic into arguments. It's pretty damn demoralizing. After an incredible 14 year marriage, having 2 sisters, a mother I adore, a 25 year old female BFF friend, it's really lame to be painted as someone trying to assail feminists.
I'm so glad someone finally confirms my idea about using hibernate. I've been in constant battle with developers that map full object graphs coming Frome some endpoint to hibernate/jpa annotated classes and then throw it at hibernate. Here you save this... It just doesn't work that way very well. It's always a mess with relationships. Whereas you run your logic on entities attached to the session things work out nicely.
Dense urban areas are a special case and in these locations it may be possible to roll out your own fiber but the details are going to be very geographically specific (regulatory framework, conduit availability and ownership, etc.).

What ORM's have taught me: be comfortable with both SQL and at least one ORM, and use each appropriately.
Objects are fine, it's classes that are often limiting. Consider the very first example above (corrected to be valid):

var r = customers.Select(c => new { cust = c, orders = c.Orders })

This gives you an IEnumerable (basically, a forward-only sequence) of objects - but these objects are of an anonymous type that was implicitly defined by "new".
Why was the city able to get it at cost and private companies weren't?
SQL is composable if you use views, just create a view for anything that you want to reuse in multiple queries.

We’re testing autonomous cars in my municipal and so far they suck.

If the lines aren’t painted on the side of the road, they can’t drive.

If they meet a road sign they don’t know, they can’t drive. We have several “special” signs In Denmark, but a lot of the times it’s because the sign was too faded/dirty/covered in snow.

Of leaves, branches and some such are on the road, they can’t drive.

If traffic misbehaves, they can’t drive.

If road quality drops, or there is big pools of water on the side of the road, they can’t drive.

Basically they can’t drive.

I can’t tell you what tech we are testing, but we are trying two different manufacturers and they are both “cutting edge” and we’re testing a fleet of 16 cars over 3 years.

Another municipaly managed to get an autonomous bus going in its city center though, so it’s definitely still coming, it’s just really really far away.

We’ve had accidents involving traditional pressure cookers 2 or 3 times. It’s not really an explosion though we’ve called it that. There’s a rubber emergency valve that pops out and a jet of high pressure steam rockets up. Usually our ceiling gets coated with gravy or orange colored lentils. Once this happened 5 minutes before dinner guests arrived so we all just went out to eat instead! With more experience we’ve avoided the issue (don’t cook lentils that clog up the outflow tube). But it’s still a worry.

Incidentally we’ve been using the instant pot for the last year now and it’s great. Bought them as presents for various members of the extended family too. It plays s cute little song when t starts and stops. No psuedo-explosions or orange colored ceilings either.
Those implementations both require phone numbers and registration through a mobile app (hence lack anonymity) and are useless for many use cases.

I think Matrix (Riot) would be a better choice. It's e2e encrypted like Signal but doesn't have any nonsense reliance on phones or phone numbers. It also has extra features like true multiple device support, a federated protocol and an open server implementation.
Ask HN: What book would you recommend for learning basic database theory?
I want to have a better understanding of things like:

* CAP theorem

* some commonly used data structures / algorithms a database system uses under the hood
* graph databases
* relational database normalization

..and related concepts.

You can, many religious evangelisers are born introverts and self-adjust to extraverts by talking to large numbers of people spontaneously (forced, at first).
Unfortunately there is no outlawing stupidity. If you have self-respect, you don't put yourself in certain situations. Full stop. Great comments by the way.
Probably better than the one I could build by hand, with far better documentation, and greater ease in googling problems :)
The future of marketing is in the past
This is the line used my Andreessen, but I don’t buy it. A good idea in the hands of the wrong entrepreneurs is no different than a bad market. Traction trumps everything, but when you don’t have traction you need to look at the idea good ideas often only look good in retrospect so all you’re left to evaluate is the quality of the team. Great markets are tightly bound to the quality of the idea. In fact, even though he explocitly emphasizes market the rest of the interview his focus was on the quality of the team.
The market cap is still a simple calculation of the last share price * the number of shares outstanding. There's no magic there. The market cap is subject to huge swings as well if someone were to suddenly sell off a big chunk of shares.
I'm a personality type coach and I help people implement the kinds of changes described in the paper. There are many different models that deal with this kind of change. But taking one step back, I think it should be made more clear up front that "having a desire to change one's personality traits" itself is a trait. There is no need to pressure (most) people to change, and many good people feel a strong pressure to change just by being on the internet. Some seem to have a natural desire to change. They are self-improvers by nature. Some are curious, more open in general. They try this or that and wonder how life would change if they were more of an introvert, or more conscientious. Others are pushed into change, brought to their knees, so to speak, by patterns of poor outcomes in their lives.

One of the often-unspoken realities here is that this growth and change will cause anxiety directly. It's observable in any living organism. (Now think about New Year's resolutions...they can be real anxiety spikers) If any really pleasing dopamine reward is to come of this process in humans, its full manifestation is often very time-delayed as the change process itself takes its course. So depending on the traits and their role in the trait-changer's own systems, models, and beliefs, it is helpful to identify pathways that can involve the trait-changer's strengths and yield some increased leverage. For example, "being open to _what_ is less stressful than being open to _that thing I can't typically stand being open to_?" There's this blended approach.

Beyond traits, I find that typologies and archetypes are very helpful in establishing a quick and dirty template for change. If you identify as a "type" that finds benefit from developing cleverness, even if you yourself aren't very clever _right now_, we may see some surprising success if we try some exercises to identify and harness a latent cleverness in service of your goals. If you are a natural idealist, an idealistic princess who befriends all the little forest creatures, that's actually a very helpful model to examine as well. The story has been shared across cultures for many centuries, and it's a matter of running down the list of type attributes and noting the deltas with regard to your current life. I call my own method Type / Trait Interleave and so far I've been happy with the outcomes for my clients.

With traits we quickly understand the contextual you and your contextually-variant patterns. With type we get at questions of your core self and begin to understand how your contextually-variant patterns could be sabotaging or benefiting some other system functioning in your life. Thanks op for the thought-provoking post, I didn't expect to see it here. :-)
Moving the definition of your sql from your app to the database doesn't impact scalability, as in both cases the database needs to perform the query.

Weird EM interference from electronics, ultrasonic backup sensors, Magic Stuff Related To Reverse #1.

> Alternatively, if the alarm did go off, this ex-mechanic would be at a loss as to how a car with no powered systems could do that.

Maybe it was caused by Magic Stuff Related To Reverse #2, or maybe it turns out the system is actually powered when you thought it isn't.

Looking over your other comments in this thread, I feel like you're approaching the topic from a position of someone who's an expert in cars and electronics, and thus has almost everything important in their memory already. But in cases when one isn't an expert with a thing one's debugging, I'd err on the side of doing the tests that seem ridiculous, at least if they're cheap to do. Discovering that it's probably Magic Stuff Related To Reverse #1 is a fair result, and should then be followed by reading up on what else gets activated/actuated when one's car gets switched to reverse.
A hard second to this. I would make a clear distinction between personality traits and actions.

This will mix subjects and I don't know enough to plant a flag on this hill let alone die on it, but imagine the moral serial killer who has urges to kill but never acts on them. They can't change who they are (as an adult as far as I know from current research), but they can try their best to affect actions. But their traits underneath are not changing.*

* Ignore the actual claims re serial killers, changing, and how that actually probably isn't personality traits, or maybe it is. Point being, it highlights a key difference between the state / biology of a person and how they act in the world.
I am currently traveling in Xiamen, Fujian, China.

I feel very safe here walking at all hours of the day and night. In fact everyone feels safe here. Women can walk home any time of day and feel safe. Children and young adults as well. In my time here, and I stick out being white, nobody has tried to do any harm to me or anything related.

I am starting to think that the almost getting hit is a product of being to busy and always in a hurry. I am walking about 5 miles each day. The cars here are also insane, worse than NYC (I live close to NYC). The culture here is to hurry , get something done faster, everyone is always to busy and wants to speed up. I have almost been hit a number of times while crossing the street. Here it is cars first, then motorbikes, then people.
This might not be best way measure wasm performance. WebAssembly can be 2-5x fater than JavaScript.

This article is completely overblown and full of made up nonsense. It's super easy to sell BTC and on a decent exchange like GDAX you can sell a million dollars via market order right now with less than $100 slippage. That's 0.5%. They will then send it to your bank account in 24 hours no problem whatsoever. I don't know where you are seeing a 5% spread but certainly not on the major exchanges. Spoofing and all that nonsense doesn't prevent anyone from selling at a decent price, I know this for a fact cause I've done it multiple times in the last few weeks.

You should buy and sell some BTC on a big exchange before you make these nonsense claims.
ORM stands for Object-Relational Mapping (wikipedia). It is just a way to map domain objects to tables. There is no "promotion the use of state" in that definition. It is your choice to start using state in a (mis)designed manner but please don't blame ORMs for that.
Dad Figures Out the Best Way to Get His Little Girl to Walk. He Is a Genius
No, I mean personality. Do you think of personality as something being intrinsically tied to a person?. Is a person's personality ultimately what we think of as "them"?

I think for most people, personality, memory, and physical appearance (especially facial appearance) are what they think of when they're forced to ultimately explain what actually constitutes a person.

Most people consider these things unchangeable because the effort and potential risks involved are, to them, unreasonable to the point of being unthinkable. Extensive therapy, psychological conditioning, chemical experimentation, surgery...

Generally, I think people just don't want to change, but they use the argument that it's impossible to change these things as a defense. Then they fall back on "well no one should need to change themselves".

They're perfectly fine as is, after all. How dare anyone say otherwise? You just have to accept them as they are, and if you can't deal with it, that's your problem.
But that doesn't change your tendencies and dispositions necessarily, as I'm sure this paper is examing. I think there's a bit of fudging often when discussing personality on exactly what personality is.
Because the city is a government agency while a private company is not. Conduit space is a limited resource, so the state can't afford to let every interested company piggy back on an existing project. So instead they opened it up to other government agencies who, presumably, would use the fiber to provide some services to the public. There may even be laws preventing the state from allowing private companies to share their infrastructure.
Yes. If one looks in the extreme at Google or Facebook, it took both the founder and the market. I think VCs view it easier to replace a C+ founder in an A+ market then figure out what to do with an A+ founder stuck in a C+ market. I'm not arguing the morality of this, just following on their thought process.

He does backtrack on this later.

The key lesson for me was to always invest in exceptional founders — you can always find the money to make subsequent investments in their companies. Money is more abundant than opportunities. I really kick myself for not having written Jeff a check when I met him. He’s a fantastic entrepreneur and I knew it – I blew it.
What you're describing is actually the way the world is. People who find it easy to be pleasant get further in life, while those with antisocial tendencies experience rejection - even when they're make more of an effort to be pleasant than those for whom it comes naturally. On the other hand, the unpleasant person may discover a billion dollar idea thinking alone in his basement. So it goes.
Most meals with varied ingredients you shouldn't just throw everything in at once. Also it's not uncommon to add things at the end (sliced almonds, french fried onions, scallions, etc) to vary up the texture. There are 'one pot' set it and forget it meals you can make if you want but you'll get more out of it if you use a variety of techniques for the different ingredients used.
4. The pain in the butt of writing and maintaining your own mapping code.

I live in upstate NY and I think that here if my 9 year old walked home alone everyday and then stayed in our house alone everyday some people might call CPS is they knew about it or noticed it.

I wish I understood why. Perhaps it is economics related? I should research this more because it would be interesting to understand.

But electric ones are much weaker and have so many safety I would trust it.

I firmly believe there is a way to change/cure those traits/urges given modern means, while still allowing the subject to possess complete freedom and agency.
> In the postwar era, developed economies have experienced two substantial trends in the net capital share of aggregate income: a rise during the last several decades, which is well-known, and a fall of comparable magnitude that continued until the
1970s, which is less well-known. Overall, the net capital share has increased since 1948, but when disaggregated this increase comes entirely from the housing sector: the contribution to net capital income from all other sectors has been zero or slightly negative, as the fall and rise have offset each other. [0]

That doesn't mean that the gains for capital since the 70s are from housing. Only that the gains from the 40s are. It also doesn't address the industrial revolution's affect.

I have this weird "turn on your laptop and your phone cannot see the wi-fi anymore" bug, or whatever this is.
I've tested this with different phones, same issue.
So, I'm turning on my phone wi-fi and it all works well. As soon as I start my laptop, the wi-fi goes off, it is not seen by my phone. The laptop is cable-connected.
Sometimes all is fine so this is kinda random. Maybe on cloudy days it works (as remyp says of his ipads), haven't checked.
