5 Powerful Ways to Evaluate Innovation Ideas

This would be inconvenient at times.
What's a black hole without a singularity? A neutron star? Is there a distinction you are making? To me a black hole and a singularity are the same thing. Are you using a different definition?

> Quark degeneracy pressure isn’t going to support the mass of millions, or even billions of suns.

Why not? If the star is very large the density (and thus gravity) never get high enough.

For example, if you consider the milky way as a single object, then that's an object resisting the mass of billions of suns.

The mass is irrelevant, what matters is the density.

> As for time dilation... no. In no way could that magically overcome collapse.

It can keep mass from ever reaching the surface of the black hole (singularity). At least as far as we are concerned. It takes mass an infinite time to actually get to the surface, so the black hole can never grow.
This is probably anecdotal evidence at best, but:

As a current college student who was just beginning highschool in Dallas when Uber first starting becoming a real thing rather than a curiosity, I used Uber all the time to get around even before I had a license (sometimes even taking it to school in the morning), and continued to use the service once I did. Almost all of my peers did, too.

I go to college in Los Angeles now and haven't had my car for a few years, so I mostly rely on a mix of the Metro in addition to Uber for the last mile problem.

I figured if I can make LA work without a car, I can make it work anywhere. I have no plans to buy a car after college, instead choosing to rely on public transit + Uber. Discussions with my friends from home and college reveal this is not an uncommon plan upon graduation.

Perhaps these studies are looking at the "long-term" effects of Uber too early? Could it be plausible that there's an "uber-generation" which will contribute to a sharp decline in car sales?
I had an Ask HN about a subject very similar to this a few weeks ago, and got a lot of great feedback, which may help you! Thank you HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16146660
I think we can all agree that cities should be “humans first”, not “car first”.
I have had tremendous success with very unorthodox layouts, features and subtle use of colors on my resume via Adobe InDesign.

https://www.alecgorge.com/Alec%20Gorge%20Resume.pdf

I used to completely redo my layout every year while I was in school and had success with it. Especially at the collegiate level when many resumes are the same in practice, something new for the recruiter to look at goes a long way.

On quite a few occasions I have walked into an interview and been greeted with some variant of "oh wow so you are the person with the cool resume!" or "we have all been talking about how we love how your resume looks!"

I have never gotten negative feedback on my layouts and the positive feedback has been a huge confidence boost in those interviews.

I spend hours and hours attempting to build a unique layout provides personality and the information needed—this means no pie charts or arbitrary skill ratings. I view the design as a way for me to communicate something about my passion for typography and layout while giving an insight into my personality. I always want my resumes to be friendly and have a clear hierarchy.

I'm still on the fence about using paragraphs instead of bullet-points but it looks so much better with justified paragraphs that I think it is worth the trade-off to stand out in a positive way.

Of course, all of the work into the design goes to waste if you don't write clear, concrete supporting information. Too often I see resumes that contain factual but boring/non-contextualized data. Why did you do X thing? What problem was it solving? How did it solve it? What did YOU do that that was special? Use numbers to give a sense of scope and size.
Kudos for how succinctly that was packaged.
Qt is exactly the same, it does not use native widgets bit reimplements them (and leverages the system APIs to get correct colors, icons, and sizes). but everyone seems to be hell-bent on reinventing qt every three years so ... :p
What density are they talking about? If 4-6 levels, then you can likely accommodate residential in the upper tiers and light commercial (consultancies, etc) at the bottom.

Nope, we've had "finally:" (the equivalent of unwind-protect) for decades. And this code doesn't use it.
I have written a small plugin for the acme.sh dnsapi that works with my DNS setup.

I run acme.sh in a FreeBSD jail (acme-client). It writes files that are picked up by another jail (acme-dns) that runs nsd. This jail is NOT one of my main authoritative name servers. It only runs _acme.mydomain.tld containing records like:

_acme-challenge.test IN TXT XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

These records are pointed to from my main name servers with records like:

_acme-challenge.test NS acme-dns.mydomain.tld.

(CNAME seems to work too, I will probably switch to that)

All this gets me the following benefits:

a) Everything runs restricted by jails that only run for about 10 seconds when issuing or renewing certificates.

b) No need for the service to be publicly accessible. (no issues with firewalls, no need for public IP's)

c) No need for the service to be some kind of web-server (think smtp, imap, irc, xmpp, etc.)

d) The service does not need a public "A" record.

e) No risk of me or the script messing up any live/production configuration.

f) The only thing that needs to accept inbound connections is the "acme-dns" jail on port 53 for about 10 seconds when it is running.

There are still some things I need to find a good solution for. Like easier distribution of certs, keys, etc.
I also want to generate the private keys elsewhere and only give the CSR's to the acme-client jail. (If this is possible with ACME. I think it is.)

This setup is not yet complete and I am still experimenting, but it seems to work well.
No it will not. For consent it is explicitly forbiden to use legal / technical speech and you can't cascade it. Allowing you to use my data has nothing to do with you giving my data to google. The more 3rd party "providers" the more fishy will your site look. And you can bet the user wont give consent for 100 tick boxes - you can't pretick them, it needs to be opt-in.

Again with the simplistic views. To claim that the mere quantity of guns (or anything else) alone directly predicts gun deaths (or anything else) would be ridiculous. There are many theories for the reduction in homicide rate. Longer (and mandatory) prison terms, stricter gun laws, more police, etc.

Your argument is equivalent to the guy holding a snowball and arguing that global warming obviously can't be real.

In my experience of having lived all my life in the EU and mostly in 3 countries of the union, all law enforcement here is about intent, unlike the US for instance (as far as I read online ofcourse, like the Nintendo copyright case linked here a week ago). Copyright, drugs, bankrupting your company etc, judges look at intent not literally what the law says. So this will not be different. Nothing will change if you are not trying to actually go against what the law intents to protect.
I wish we could replace them. I don't see it yet. I doubt it will be possible in the next 20 years.

The diesel scandal is the following: people like to drive big cars like SUVs. A car in the 90s weighed maybe 500kg. Now a new SUV weighs 3t. To drive this, you have to have a diesel engine. A diesel engine can be relatively environmental friendly if you add enough AdBlue. But AdBlue isn't cheap and the AdBlue tank takes up space in the car. So VW, Bosch, and the other German car manufacturers switched of the AdBlue as soon as the car detects it's not in a testing setup.

We were more environmental friendly in the 90s only because our cars didn't weigh as much.

So, can we replace fossil fuels in energy generators?

A lot of countries like Brazil build new nuclear reactors to generate energy. The problem is, the waste is going no where. Maybe it's possible to send the waste to the backside of the moon, but the risk of an exploding rocket seems too high for me.

Solar energy does generate only energy when the sun is shining. That's maybe 12h a day and it depends a lot on the location on earth surface. The problem of storage and transportation of energy isn't solved yet.

Wind energy is massively changing. It can generate a lot of energy in a short time period and the next week there isn't even a breeze. It's hard to switch power plants on and off as fast as the wind is changing.

I was thinking, there should be Tesla Power Walls or similar technology next to decentralized wind and solar energy generators. But I really doubt it is possible to switch of all fossil energy.
Oh wow! I had to cringe at the "Why Pay $4000 For A Complete Accounting System" ad. That's probably the worst copy I have seen.

Then just incase you haven't fallen asleep and you still want to buy, they put you off by telling you you'll get bad support and a buggy product.

Then finally past that hurdle, and if anyone is left with their wallet open, thinking of spending their hard earned $100, it inflates the price to $450 because there is some technical dependency on some runtime thingy.

I wonder; Did anyone buy?

The number of potential free-riders is tiny, so there's no reason to retaliate against them. The same problem exists in Internet services. If blekko (a startup search engine) saw a DNT do not track header from a user, we wouldn't even include their queries in our anonymized dataset. That slowed our learning-to-rank process, but only by a little.
The difficulty is in getting people to understand this.

For example, the entire point of doing this is to get housing costs down, and people hear that and think it will cause their property values to go down.

But those are actually two different things.

Housing costs are per square foot. They go down when there is a bunch of new housing because of supply and demand.

Property values include the value of the land. If you zone for high density, it causes the land to be worth significantly more because people will pay you a million dollars for it so they can bulldoze your house and build a tower there.
If someone is using machine learning to advertise to me on the web and they come up with some crazy ad they think I might like, no harm done. Using the "probabilities" they may be making the ads marginally better. But if someone uses this for police actions, that is a different story. I expect a little more certainty for something like police actions.

Yes and no. One of the most important principles in GDPR is “purpose limitation” (Article 5.1b):

“Personal data shall be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes“

If a company starts collecting IP addresses for DDoS protection purposes, and then figures out that the data could also be used for marketing - that is most certainly in violation with this principle and therefor forbidden.

A “lawful basis” for the marketing purpose will not save you from this principle.

This is also where the public privacy policy/notice plays a role - for the company to be able to prove that the IP addresses where also originally collected for marketing purposes and fair information was given about this purpose at the point of collection.

In terms of GDPR’s territorial scope I guess at the point in time you start to use the DDoS prevention IP logs for profiling you come into GDPR scope. You would also be immediately be in violation of the purpose limitation principle if it is for marketing purposes.
More a symptom of poor public transit! Where are those slidewalks, dammit.

If you work for a big company and are not a lawyer, you should listen to your lawyers and not try to interpret the law yourself. There are pitfalls and misunderstanding you will run into otherwise. If your company is large enough, they should meet with privacy regulators and work with them to show them implementation decisions and make sure the regulators are in alignment with the approach taken.
One part I'm not sure how to read:

"I would probably use the fact of the call and concierge onboarding to tell everyone that of course you charge for your services, just like they charge for their services, but that as a limited time offer you’ll retroactively waive one month of fees if they can commit to a 15 minute conversation about why the software didn’t work for your needs."

What is the "why the software didn't work for your needs" part? Is this meant to be a call with users who are canceling and offer to waive a month of fees if they explain why? It seems out of place under the "To demo or not to demo?" heading.

Regarding your last point: that depends on your reference frame. From the outside it does appear to take "forever" to get into a black hole, but if you were the one falling in...it happens much quicker, certainly not taking an infinite amount of time.
A better definition is a black hole is something with an event horizon.

The crypto space to me is really frustrating. I've seen friends become something very close to scammers, I can't have interesting technical discussions about the topic without being called doomsayer and even when I pitch an idea what to use the Blockchain for, all I get is:"let's do an ICO and raise a shitton of money!" although that doesn't really make sense towards what I'm proposing.

I feel like the nerd in class that hopes that the teacher (regulatory bodies) will pinch those bullies so we can get back to topic. I hate that feeling.

I hate it. When I'm hiring, I have 100s of CVs to look at, and on my first sweep, every CV gets no more than 30 seconds. Your website takes too long for me to figure out, so I pass on it. Life's too short. (I'm guessing it's not the first time someone has said this to you, though, so good on you for keeping it.)
You implied you already had "local" servers - it sounded like bandwidth/load information might indicate the area were load was increasing.
but I am not talking about the percentage increase I am talking about increase "by a factor of X" that is X = B/A.

Maybe my problem is that I am missing "by".
I appreciate how the example collision (page 18 in the email dump) uses the lyrics of "Push it to the limit" by David Hasselhoff. The number 9 seems to be appearing a lot both in the collision raw text and previously when they refer to the bleed. I guess it has something to do with the function being based on trinary logic - could there be another flaw there related to this?

Also kind of amusing seeing the different sides of the IOTA team: Sergey is antagonistic and difficult to communicate while David tries to smooth things out and get everyone to play along nicely.
That's probably a good question. Those who are actually pushing the hardware in both camps are most likely the minority, as opposed to those who are working with glorified web views.

I’ve even considered ditching my smartphone entirely here and there. I’m not convinced its utility outweighs its use as an ad-driven anxiety rectangle constantly vying for my attention. Combined with the steady loss of features, I’m wondering if this decide is really a tool or a burden. Something to ponder, I suppose.
There may be people in on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's overwhelmingly just people defending their position. I've seen the exact behaviour I see at r/cryptocurrency in video games. No Man's Sky pre and post launch was exactly the same. Sensible people casting doubt on what it is you actually do with the game, being shouted down by those who are convinced it's going to be the greatest thing ever. Then lots of defensiveness against all the post-launch signals that it's a mess.
Scroll around for some highlights.

It's because these housing shortages are paid for by everyone who doesn't live in the jurisdiction and cannot vote for them, so there's a perverse incentive for incumbents to treat shortages as free money that comes from nowhere.

It's not unlike upper atmosphere pollution, as if every local community were able to have their own policy on it. The cost of pollution is paid for by no one in particular but principally other people far away. Each community's individual impact is tiny and easy to deny, but they all tend to choose the same thing which has a greater collective impact. Aren't their rights to choose more important than any cost to society, without question?
Followed by a full-page ad for a Forth interpreter! Those were the days. I suspect many companies like this could make money for lack of competition, but I dunno, I was 10 years old then.
> I can fully believe the premise of the article that Uber has stolen more modeshare from cycling and real mass transit than it has from private vehicle use

All this shows is that people would rather climb into a stranger's car, pay them and hope for the best than use actual public transport.
What you're saying makes sense. Any data derived from PII should considered as PII itself if it can be used to identify users, and even if it cannot be used for that, it needs to be cleared frequently enough such that you don't end up with data derived from information for which you received a deletion request, for instance.

In practice, you can achieve this by simply refreshing your derived data frequently (ever ~30-60 days), and for aggregated data k-anonymity is a good way to enforce this privacy constraint.

> Public transportation is not more efficient in terms of my time or usability

Nope, it's not. But it's less wasteful. It uses less gas per passenger, uses less space per passenger, and is often safer. So what you're arguing is that you want something that is more convenient _for you_ but is more wasteful. That's fine, but you need to be able to pay for it. Right now ridesharing is taking advantage of the fact that in most cities, everyone pays for the upkeep of roads, and drivers pay a bit more because of gas. In essence, roads are socialized across its residents. Residents are being forced to subsidize a more wasteful option, pushing the true cost of transportation up for everyone, and pricing some people (due to congestion) out of the transit system altogether. Until American cities are willing to charge (and enforce) a congestion tax to road users, the best option to keep transportation "costs" low is to limit cars on the road.
Hmmm, some familiar names there, but yeah - quiet...

I wonder if I've still got working credentials to The Other Place?
I'll take your comment in good faith, but there are very good reasons to believe black holes exist and that, for instance, the center of our galaxy contains a very massive black hole and not a neutron star. This is basic general relativity, which only has (physical and theoretical) evidence in support of it. While quantum gravity is still very much uncertain, that would (most likely) only have to do with understanding the possible singularity inside black hole. Otherwise, defining a black hole as "a thing with an event horizon" is purely a general relativity prediction, consistent with all of the other predictions and observations.

I want to second this. The number one problem with resumes is that they all focus on the positive space: craming as much text and non-data-ink onto the page as possible.

Let your main point breathe.

> One person riding a bus takes a single bus seat on a vehicle that can hold 20+ people in a minimum of space.

The problem with this kind of theory is that it assumes there are actually 20+ people on the bus. Half the time you have a bus which is three times the size of a car with only two people on it.

The real solution here is to get riding sharing apps to actually share rides. Use the fact that the app can tell there are six people near Point A who all want to go near Point B and provide an appropriate discount to put them all in the same minivan.

Then you have something which is effectively mass transit except that it doesn't drive around aimlessly in a gigantic bus when there are no passengers to transport.
