I don't know if this article is correct, sans a legal/safety reason or a warranty void. Doesn't seem like something Nvidia could legally prevent you from doing.

That said, I use GeForce GPUs in production datacenters and this wouldn't stop me. I put a dummy load on the display output and use them to take screenshots of web sites with WebGL for Neocities. It's the only way to really do it. The Tesla blowtorches are just for ML crunching, I don't think they work for what I use datacenter GPUs for.

Also my datacenter power connection I get would trip under the Tesla's power requirements, to say nothing of the costs. Might as well plug a Tesla car in while I'm at it.

> You could have one virtual display with close to your face for high resolution information, and then dozens of peripheral displays further back for ambient information. Displays can move forward and back with subtle head movements. Why is the hardware resolution the limit? Isn’t it more of a UI problem?

No matter how much you play with bringing some virtual monitors/displays closer or further away depending on focus it's always going to be inherently limited by the internal display resolution. Even then in VR headsets the lens distortion means text isn't really readable outside a small FOV directly ahead of you. Eventually we'll get cheaper better screens in these headsets but that'll require a lot more rendering power and still doesn't get past the fact that you're losing a lot of pixels to anything that isn't the display so the headset screens have a long ways to go before they can look anywhere near as good as the normal displays we use.
So they fawned over a Democrat, then? I fear I don't understand your point. Can you help me?

My guess is the parent is referring specifically to the Republican Southern Strategy—whether the top-down or bottom-up variant is mostly immaterial—that notably did not display too much public opposition to racial integration on the national stage, but instead supported de facto racial segregation while appealing to entrenched racism and conservatism in the South as the Democratic Party realigned its platform and positions.

The somewhat snide-sounding remark was rather unnecessary. I’m sure the same educated Americans who can look this stuff up also find it improbable to believe 80 years of Jim Crow suddenly vanished with the signing of the Civil Rights Act. (Edit: appears the parent edited out the remark about educated Americans looking this up)

> A lot of millenials have learned a lot about the existing financial system due to Bitcoin, even if it was initially to make a quick buck, and I suspect there's no way back to fiat for a lot of them.

This is exactly the kind of one-sided perspective that makes me very sceptical. No, they didn't 'leave fiat' in any way, and they never will. At best they can hedge against it a little. But while that might be personally profitable, it is not clear at all whether it is a net benefit; the main problem of western economies nowadays seems to be too tight monetary policy, and crypto is tighter than fiat.

Yes, exactly. I see a lot of these comments on HN made by folks from-the-outside-looking-in.

"I tried out this product. It had this bug I noticed that affected me a lot. By extension, this entire company will fail."

That's like saying, I went to a restaurant. I noticed the silverware is a bit dirty, thus the shop will close down.

Usually the commenter is someone who works in a specialized day job. Like an engineer :) Or silverware washer at a restaurant. Someone who sees and handles a narrow part of the picture.

There are many possible reasons why Mattermark closed down. I am sad to see it. But it is probably not due to a specific feature or bug. There are probably reasons beyond the description in the article that led to the disappointing outcome. I hope Techcrunch will be able to find the reasons behind this so other startups can learn and avoid future tragedies :(
No, that’s a commonly held misconception likely tied to the fact that it was being used by people in conjunction with Silk Road. The public ledger system ties history to the transactions so you can trace the flow back in time. Law enforcement officials probably love that aspect.

Good old fashioned cash is much better for criminal activity.

A crypto like Zcash (another fairly large crypto) that utilizes zk snarks to encrypt transactions and then decouple coins from their history would be much better suited for illegal transactions.

Hints don't provide any guarantees. It's still possible to silently and unknowingly pass the wrong type of value into any given argument, with or without the checker. The "tooling" the other languages have includes a compiler that performs these checks in a way that Hints + Checker-of-choice is unlikely (or unable) to. "What do you think these checkers do?" you might ask. The answer is: not nearly what a compiler does.

I might be confused, but I thought it was a fund composed of a percentage of all YC companies, not just the current batch. So past batches would be liquid and able to return value to support current batches.

That's definitely not true, please realise the whole free speech argument is useless outside the US. Anyway, I think you'll find it hard to get people interested with such an argument, even if it is an interesting way to put it.

But your first point - the argument about owning a product - is easy to understand and much more persuasive. That's why the John Deere DMCA thing got so much press, and also why I'm convinced that the downfall of the EULA will be because somebody tried to limit ownership of a physical product (and not software, which may or may not reap the benefits, but won't be the catalyst).

Without tracking scripts, many webpage owners will be making much less money off of Firefox. If they don't make a whole lot of money off of Firefox, they won't test and optimize for Firefox much. So, we'd be seeing a lot more breakage of webpages in Firefox.

Mozilla could maybe afford to pull something like that, if they had the majority marketshare, as then webpage owners would have to deal with their decisions in order to still make any revenue at all, but well, they don't.

> In the past, when someone wanted to join the jQuery UI or jQuery Mobile teams we expected them to contribute to the library as a whole.

I'm not sure about the accuracy of that. I was a jQuery UI team member in the '09 - '11 period (I can't recall exact dates) and I only worked on certain components, though I did participate in discussion and planning for the platform as a whole. It was also common for contributors/team members to pitch new plugins that weren't worked on by the entire team.

So maybe this is just jQuery UI getting back to it's open source roots more so than anything. I'm sad to see that the project has fallen on hard times, but I'm not shocked given the direction most of front end webdev has moved towards these days. The amount and types of UI frameworks and component libs available today are myriad. And at jQuery UI's peak (and hell, jQuery as well) there were only a few.

I'd like to add a meta-note that Scott Gonzalez was always great to work with, and if you want to read some interesting, independent thoughts, he's a good follow on the twitters.

Agree. If the goal of the letter is to get signatures, starting off with "great news" and then leading to "you get $0" does not seem to be the most convincing nor effective way to phrase a signature request.

Well, if the reader is an employee holding Common stock, and the employee signs just to keep her job, then she would have signed regardless of what the letter said anyways.

Basically, it's hard for me to see a Common stock holder reading the letter, and then going "Ya that makes sense, I'd buy this. Let me sign it now."
Yeah, iPhone's notification system is terrible. Based around "deal with it now because we told you to!". Makes me sad.
I suspect that music like an orchestra requires vastly greater precision than is required from plays.

For example, if the orchestra is going to become rapidly silent, or loud, in a dramatic way, then it's important that all of the instruments do this on the same timing. You can't have an instrument that "false starts", or it will sound obviously out of place.

By comparison, in a play there's a lot more leniency and flexibility. Typically only one person is speaking at a time. If one person pauses for a few moments between lines, or enters/exits stage more slowly than normal, that won't disrupt the rest of the play --
whereas if any musical instrument hits at the wrong time, it will.
This 100% sounds like a company trying to patent troll everyone who has an app that sends any kind of utility message to encourage a user action - I can see it being applied to 'shopping cart reminder' emails/texts and so forth, because you could vaguely say it's a 'motivational message'...

At the bottom of this thread is a comment by 'AmIFirstToThink' which has been inexplicably marked "dead". It seems to be the only reply as of writing this that makes the connection of Schmidt's stepping down to his strong bets during the 2016 election.

A little-noticed WSJ piece from October would support that idea:

> [Google] Employees donated $1.6 million to her campaign, about 80% more than the amount given by workers at any other corporation, and Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt helped set up companies to analyze political data for the campaign. Mr. Schmidt even wore a badge labeled “STAFF” at Mrs. Clinton’s election-night bash.

> His support of the losing side didn’t go unnoticed among the victors. As President-elect Donald Trump was preparing for a meeting with tech executives at Trump Tower not long before his inauguration, he asked strategist Stephen Bannon whether Mr. Schmidt was “the guy that tried to help Hillary win the election,” according to someone who heard the conversation.

> “Yes,” said Mr. Bannon. “Yes, he is.”

> Google, one of the most powerful players in Washington in recent years, is now facing the consequences of its lost political clout—and is moving mountains to regain it.

To provide a good high resolution in that area though is going to require much better screens in our VR/AR headsets than we currently have with a corresponding bump in rendering power. With VR the best resolution you can conceivably have is to fill the whole FOV with a monitor which gives you the resolution of the internal screens. This ignores problems like screen door and lens distortion that is going to reduce the usable area and worst of all who's monitor takes up the ~100 degrees of FOV a current headset gives, there's loads of stuff around so what you're used to seeing will require probably 4-8k+ per eye.

Mostly linkbait... Some of their advice include:

- Have your kids right away

- Get lucky with the timing of your inheritance

- Move to New Hampshire

- try to earn more this year

- Upgrade your private jet

So mostly not usefull at all...

However what struck me more is how high earners would immensely benefit from the tax plan. So let's say you are CVP in big company and making $2M. At least half of these will probably in stocks and you would be paying 15% tax - so no problem there. However your cash still gets taxed at 35% or more. Now what you can do is become corporation, get your paycheck only get taxed to 21% and pay yourself living expenses. So basically you just keep your money in your "corporation" invest it, grow it - all for just 21%. You can then pass this whole thing off to your kids, again completely untaxed! In essence, people making $1M or more got about 20% tax break while most middle class people are probably getting 5 to 10% or so.

I equate buying digital currencies hoping that they will go up in value as gambling. I do have some, so I am also gambling on it, but I would not call it an investment.

Anyone can buy any amount of BTC. One does not have to buy in whole numbers with 15k$ or more. That's like saying only rich people can buy gold. Completely false.

Essentially there are many uninformed people buying these digital currencies that know nothing about them. That is what I was pointing out.

I mean that's basically all hacker suites in a nutshell isn't it? A big collection of various tools and exploits for various problems, utilizing the right exploit for the right problem. That's the big thing in Watch_Dogs, you have a pretty big hacker group working together to find exploits and then bundling it together into a suite that the main character can control from his phone. I'm sure with the proper scripting and metadata you can make a DB of CCTV exploits for various popular brands and automatically apply that exploit on the target based off it's brand.

Not being in a position / deciding not to raise money has helped me immensely. It's also been hard. A little bit of raising money is "getting out" of work... you raise money to feel good and successful, but the work of the startup still isn't done. I've had to bear the full burden.

My understanding is that the mining metaphor is supposed to be reminiscent of gold's scarcity.

It is also my understanding that the crypto- in cryptocurrency enables anonymous trade. This would seem to preclude the need to even pay taxes since no government could even track the transactions. As I understand it this is the primary value proposition of Bitcoin.

Why would you want to pay taxes to the US government in any currency other than the US Dollar? I really don't understand the value there. Do people pay US income taxes in Euros? Why? How?
Yes, so the problem is not that the pizza quality is not good enough in some way. It's way bigger than that.

It's that it's hard to convince people to even buy pizza. That's a much bigger-picture issue than saying "pizza not fresh, so they will close down".

Put another way, making the pizza fresher, is not going to substantially improve the situation. Fixing the issues you saw (e.g. update the database to be super fresh, fix the contact feature so it is 100% working) will not get Mattermark out of it's current situation (unfortunately)

I break lines if it looks like they’re getting too long, where it feels right to do so. Setting a fixed number of columns causes people to align hanging lines to the right in my experience:

some_example_code = LongTypeName(argument_one=1,
argument_two=2,
argument_three=3)

(pretend that’s 80 columns), resulting in this mess when I try to look at it in a narrower view:

some_example_code = LongTypeName(argument_on
↳ e=1,
argument_tw
↳ o=2,
argument_th
↳ ree=3)

Turning off word wrap doesn’t help, because then it’s an equally painful constant two-character scroll. What does help is creating indented blocks where it feels right, and letting other lines just naturally be long.

some_example_code = LongTypeName(
argument_one=1,
argument_two=2,
argument_three=3,
)

some_example_code = LongTypeName(
"just a string that happens to be long; some people introduce acceptable percentages of string literals for long lines, but it’s really not necessary. let word wrap take care of it!")

(Plus: specific column counts depend on the size of your indentation.)
