Ah, that's the trick. I tried two and that didn't work. Thank you!
Not sure which business world you're referring to. The only place where it may be uncool is in the heady realm of start up culture. Most other business only survive by being in the black.

How can you predict a profitable company in the first place? If you could do that then you would just have all hypergrowth companies and make even more.
They also want that billion dollar startup.

Having 20x small, profitable companies netting say 1-5M/year isn't their modus operandi.
Please don't give that advice. The current implants have a lot of long-term problems. I hope there will be a solution but at this point you would be crazy to remove healthy teeth.

> The root cause for crashes then, I am guessing, must be lousy code.

Huh? Almost every application just panics when it runs out of memory. Not least because it's actually difficult to do stuff without using memory within typical application frameworks.
Definitely Aarogyasri in AP saved millions of Lives. Current administration tried to remove the program since its not introduced by them and can't take credit for. So they are trying to kill it slowly (By removing people from program, cutting benefits etc).

I wonder what will happen to this Free Health insurance program when central government changes next time.
New York, NY | SevenFifty | Full-stack Developer (Rails) | Onsite

SevenFifty is modernizing the wholesale beverage alcohol industry, which is massive but technologically antiquated. Over 40,000 restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail stores across the country connect with their sales reps and wholesalers through our platform, replacing a status quo going back to Prohibition. We work with everyone from the largest importers to mom and pop winemakers to build bespoke tools for communication and content distribution and provide transparency across all tiers.

You'll be joining a small engineering team tackling a wide array of challenges - from complex data processing to modern, interactive web frontends; from liberating data from decades old mainframes, to consuming and writing APIs used by everyone from small retail shops to large conglomerates. We want people who are excited about learning new technologies and passionate about transforming a broken industry. We're also in a sweet spot for ambitious and talented engineers; we have a lot of traction and are well-financed, but still have a very small team responsible for a wide range of work enabling you to take ownership of large slices of our technology stack.

Technologies: Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Backbone, React, Clojure

I think this is more likely the main reason for the water landing. They have done a least one short three engine burn before using the drone ship.

I really wish C# had more battle tested linux usage. I really love that language.
It sucks though. The shortcuts are kind of annoying (Ctrl-r, Ctrl-s) and there's no visual cues about the list you're going through.
My biggest problem with wxpython is that you apparently can't set closures as event handlers. Instead, you have to define a member function, and register it. This makes the process a bit tedious compared to JavaScript.
> healthcare in India is cheap. $8000 goes a long way.

Yeah I think ₹5 lakh is excessive. I have a ₹2 lakh cover for me and my wife and unless we both are diagnosed with bone cancer simultaneously we are in no danger of maxing it out.

On Slack, web standards, and bloody cynicism
I don't think this is as much of a problem with the social contract of privacy as it is about the social contract regarding distributed risk. I'm happy to pitch in publicly via taxes and privately via insurance to make sure people are taken care of in the event of a serious injury, because it will probably happen to me eventually and I'd like to be taken care of too. But if you've got a serious injury claim, you should NOT BE ROCK CLIMBING. The idea that the message there is that you shouldn't post public pics of you rock climbing is the wrong message imo.
Why not remove Chrome, Safari and E-mail clients for inappropriate content too? Why not WhatsApp, Skype or iMessage? Telegram is just a wire, it's up to the users if they want to use it to talk to other users that speak 'inappropriate'.

This is why I will never buy an iPhone (though I don't mind a MacBook as long as root access and legal ways to install Linux have not been locked on them yet) - I want to use the device the way I want, have full control over its filesystem, run the apps I want without all that store bullshit (which hits even harder if you live outside the USA by the way, in synergy with your local government bullshit and with what corporations think about your region market) and decide what is appropriate for me myself.

Today Apple is a fascist organization. Historical fascists did fairly good in eye-candy design and hardware quality too but that's the only good part of them and it's pretty much ruined by so much crazy fascist bullshit to tolerate in exchange.
With Stripe's integration of Apple Pay/Google Pay are you more willing or less willing to pay to use a web site?
Your overestimating the financial intelligence of the average person. Think about the billions people waste on actual pyramid schemes. These are the same types of people who will be screwed over the most by a cryptocurrency crash. Is a slightly more efficient cryptocurrency market really worth the hardship of thousands of people?
Look at the domain... explains a few things.
Sure. But you should think of it like a new late-stage investment, on par with investing in any other late-stage company whether you were in on the seed round or not. Concern about not getting diluted sounds like a sunk cost fallacy, which can lead to suboptimal decisions.
I certainly find the leeway advertisers have infuriating.

On the other hand, I would sign up for an ISP knowing full well that their advertised bandwidth is "best effort". I would not sign up with an exchange knowing that their intention to give my money back was "best effort".
Most folks I know seem blissfully unaware or uninterested in these realities behind their next day delivery. Even supremely liberal folks in boston and new york seem to think that complaining that their prime delivery being a day late or poorly packed is reasonable to gripe about, totally ignoring the human cost behind such offerings.
Finally created an account to reply to this. There is a great thread on Reddit called - Where has all the world's money gone, explain it like I'm 5. It starts from a convenient barter system. As I was reflecting on the various ICOs I realised that the technology and the blockchain makes the old barter system very efficient. So I do believe that in fact it is a substitute for that behaviour. In fact Im convinced that bitcoin or something like it will become the new gold. If you also think about why we needed to elect representatives, it was so that they would represent the needs of the people. Once I can vote/discuss a topic on the blockchain, I dont need representatives anymore. The blockchain and crypto currencies are going to change the way democracies operate. We're not going to need our elected leaders. This is why you see them spreading so much FUD. Cause they know they're going to be irrelevant in the system and access to all that money is going to go. Tomorrow if I want to build a bridge - going to setup a smart contract - with escrow payments - validated by the people. You hit your milestone and the money gets released. And why not it be digital money. This new wave is being built ground up and govts cannot stop it - even if they want.
London (Soho) | Senior Backend Engineer | Onsite | Full-time | £75k+, bonus, equity

CognitionX (https://cognitionx.com) is building a community and platform to bring clarity to the world of AI. Last year, our “festival of all things AI” in London (http://cogx.co) attracted more than 1,300 delegates, and it’s going to be even bigger this year!

Our web-based knowledge platform provides a wealth of data on thousands of AI-related companies, products, events, and people. It connects our clients with a comprehensive AI knowledge base, with our expert network of AI leaders, and provides a rich set of tools for making sense of the AI landscape.

We are looking for senior backend engineers with strong experience building modern web apps using Python and Django.

We use GitHub, code reviews, Heroku, and Amazon RDS so that we can rapidly iterate and stay focussed on what matters. We’ve worked hard to keep our processes and management structure as lightweight as possible.

You should have:

- Strong knowledge of Python and its ecosystem
- Track record of delivering Django web apps
- Experience designing and building RESTful APIs
- A good knowledge of git (or mercurial)

It would be great if you also had:

- Frontend development skills, including JS and React
- Operations/DevOps experience
- Understanding of AI/ML techniques

And if you've published or contributed to any open-source software, then tell us about it!

Ask HN: What is your favorite tool of the trade for developers?
What are the good tools for developers to learn about e.g., programming techniques or best-practices?
You have to start somewhere. If you start saying it won't work, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. On the other hand, if you start something not too unreasonable saying that you can do it, it can be a self-fulfilling prophecy too, but a positive one.
Being positive and optimist is free, and can go a long way... (of course you need to put in also some work, but not necessarily an extenuating amount).
I would add Education to the forefront of accountability. Police officer careers require no more education than a high school diploma/GED and the police academy, which is roughly 27 weeks. Imagine if being a police officer meant having a deep understanding of ethics, psychology (not just tactics) and law.

Stop accepting any physically fit hothead off the street because they can be trained into the role. Lastly, as a citizen, be willing to pay more in taxes knowing that the person who pulled you over cares, is qualified, and will not shoot you and try to cover it up.
Yea I've had it about 3 weeks now, and I'm still amazed at how much power it's got. I've never had a system where I have so much spare cpu and ram that I can run anything without ever impacting something else. I've actually hit the point where compile times are significantly more disk bound than cpu bound. I'm actually working on a project to take advantage of all this cpu power to help the Perl community a bit by using the large 30k+ libraries and their test suites to validate in-development versions of perl being properly backwards compatible (been a bit of a sticking point in this latest cycle of perl 5 development).
The only ones that abuse that term more than game developers are science reporters...
> In the UK, class consciousness is woven into the national identity. In America, however, people often like to pretend that a class system doesn’t really exist. But, of course, it does.

This is the most insidious part.

The media in the US has historically been 100% controlled by rich people, and all major media still is.

The evil rich people figured out that if you start a gender and race war among the 99%, you can distract them from the fact that they're all being economically exploited and subjected to wage slavery.

The US has gotten richer and richer, if it functioned properly everyone could have enough without resorting to any radical policies. But as long as 70%+ of Americans are wallowing in economic depression there will be no lasting social progress. Just the way most rich people hope it stays.

The internet will almost certainly spawn a social movement to destroy the class system in the US. People are just waking up to how bad it is. The #MeToo movement only happened because rich people are losing media control, and it's just one of many to come.
I like the value proposition of a technology oriented reference manual. I assume it will be roughly the caliber of what you would get in a 'survey' undergrad class but moving from 'news' to living documents that will be updated and can be referenced for the current state of the art interests me. Can users subscribe to updates?

That being said, are they trying to make their readers groan? "WIRED has always prided itself on what we call mind grenades—expansive, surprising ideas that change the way the world thinks."

Edit: Damn, I read it again. Why make the guides a series of essays and links? The value should be distilling all the news into a comprehensive picture of the subject. You've taken the step to collect all the puzzle pieces in the same place, why stop just shy of putting them together?
You're getting downvoted like crazy, but I agree at least conceptually even if implants aren't quite up to the right standards yet. Get me some that will last the rest of my life with no side effects and I'm on board.
The problem with this argument is that while supply of bitcoin itself is inelastic, anyone who wants to do so can create an altcoin, meaning the supply of altcoins in general is infinite, and since they are functionally extremely similar to each other if people can't buy bitcoin at an attractive price, they can simply buy something else that works the same way.
Pirate Studios - https://www.piratestudios.co.uk | Senior and mid-weight Developers | ONSITE & REMOTE | Bristol, London, M4 Corridor, UK | Full-time

Pirate Studios is building music rehearsal studios in multiple countries, and we're big on tech in our studios. We're the biggest rehearsal studio provider in the UK and rapidly expanding abroad. We build our own studios that are open 24/7, and all booking is handled online.

We're looking to expand our dev team right now. Being excited about music is definitely a bonus, but we have loads of fun and exciting programming projects in the pipeline. Ideas are welcome and many of our improvements come from people in the business suggesting them.

Our projects are primarily in Ruby and JavaScript, though we also develop IoT applications in languages like Rust and Haskell. We work in small project-based teams on our various components, and we have dedicated (and good!) project managers who help give us plenty of time and space to focus on programming.

Ideally we're looking for people in Bristol, where we're soon opening a new office. Many of the dev team work remotely, but the majority of us are within easy distance of Bristol (or London) and we meet up regularly to discuss/work/beer together.

I'm Head of Development, and working for Pirate Studios is the best job I've ever had. I'll go out of my way to make sure you get to build great things :)

Dentistry technology seems similar to battery technology in that these developments never seem to filter down out of the lab, ever. The only thing new that's been added to my dentist visits is that little graduated paperclip looking thing that measures depth between your teeth and gums. Other than that, every dentist visit I've ever been to has been basically identical, as far as technology goes.

I get that much of it works, so there's not a lot of need to throw it out, but where's the progress? My eye doctor visits add new technology regularly. Not often, to be sure, but still regularly. My eye doctor visits now are quite a bit different in many ways than they were when I first got glasses.

There's a point where I started to wonder if dentists in general are worried about becoming obsolete. That's conspiracy theory, of course, so I don't take it seriously. But I do wonder all the same.
A very large amount of Bitcoiners absolutely insisted we were headed towards hyperinflation due to QE back then. In fact that was the very reason a lot of them were interested in Bitcoin in the first place.

Interesting how things have worked out. They were right about Bitcoin's value, but badly wrong on all of the economic related predictions.
