"Having someone passionate at the helm has transformed the business and a huge sign to me that I needed to find a buyer for the business to replace my role as CEO."

"Passion" has been getting a bad rep (maybe because of "follow your passion" trope), but when you're running a business, it really helps to be passion about the topic, or the customers.

Lack of passion is a great reason to sell a business: if there's someone else out there that loves the wedding industry, it's clear this would be a good fit for them. Being excited about the product especially helps when you're promoting and marketing it.

This seems like a better solution for the massive homeless populations in the United States. These could be govt funded and placed on state owned land. I'd love to see it tested out in California. Los Angeles funded the $1.2b proposition HHH. We have around 58,000 homeless. For less than half the allocated funds, you've built a house for all of them. Yes, it's more complicated than that. But it's a start.

> Android P's first beta binaries are out today, the source code is expected in december

That sounds a lot like distributing binaries of copyleft software without distributing the corresponding source. Of course, I'm sure there's a very good explanation of how it isn't that, because that would contravene the copyright licences and be all illegal and stuff.
Also working on substitution in the diet of Omega-6s to Omega-3s. It's actually very difficult, as almost everything is swamped with O-6s. I've literally given up on Mayo for sandwiches, just using high O-6 olive oil for now.

I've provisionally concluded that this is because of shelf life -- the O-6s have good shelf life, but the O-3s do not, so essentially need to be made fresh or kept in special containers, cooled, etc.

I feel like supplements can be good as a supplement, but I'm looking to improve my eating system. Any suggestions welcome!

One part of Apple's media strategy that's confusing to me is how they brand these things.

For instance, how come their exclusive TV programming is branded under Apple Music? How come iTunes is the wrapper for all media ... not just "tunes"?

Seems like they'd benefit from rebranding these products as "Apple Media" (or something like that) then have Apple Music, Apple Video, Apple Texture, etc. as sub-brands under Apple Media. Then, offer a sampling of these services for free to owners of Apple hardware (or at a flat annual fee similar to Amazon Prime's bundled services) and offer premium upsells for those that want a more-expansive or unlimited selection of content.
True, but that's solely because Google chose not to do business there. They left that opportunity open to other companies, which is why it's the only place competition really exists.

That being said, while a Chinese manufacturer could try to branch out into the international market, that hasn't been working out for them so far. Huawei and Xiaomi have both pushed in that direction, but beyond limited success to begin with, now government entities are discouraging Chinese brands due to perceived cybersecurity risks. Whether those risks are overblown or not, it has severely hampered these companies' ability to branch out to the international consumer.

If you're following a healthy diet (that's all our ancestors had access to), you don't need to supplement with omega-3. The problem isn't that people aren't getting enough omega-3, the problem is their getting waaaayyy too much omega-6, mostly from oils that have very high concentrations of that. It's this imbalance that causes inflammation.

NaughtyDog used a job system with fibers to parallelize their engine [1]. I suppose that's not exactly the same as an actor system since the fibers don't necessarily own all their state nor do they necessarily communicate using messages.

you can voluntarily write Go which doesn't share any state, although clearly if thats an invariant you'd like to keep it would be really nice for the language to enforce it for you.

more importantly I've found that as you grow such Go programs, write higher-order actors, and deal with all the error/cleanup cases, the selects start to get really brittle and you end up spending alot of time refactoring them and carefully going over all the edge cases.

Stealth startup launches four unauthorized rogue satellites into orbit
The true meaning of “founder friendly”
The thing that always get me when doing infrequent development is the differences in how languages handle common tasks.

For instance, if I have a string and need to get its length. Do I call a length() function passing the string? Or is a string an object and there is a .length() member function? Or maybe its an object but the length is a property?

Not a super big deal...but it is an annoying interruption when I realize I don't remember which this particular language uses, and have to either go Googling or start looking around the code to try to find an example. There are a whole bunch of these.

Is it "elseif", "elif", "elsif", "else if", or sometime else?

Is the "for" loop like C, or does it take some kind of iterator object? Is it "for" or "foreach"?

Null, nil, undef?

How to break an outer loop from within an inner loop? How to continue an outer loop from within an inner loop?

Variable scope is a whole can of worms. In some to access a global from inside a function you have to explicitly say you want the global. In others variables in functions are global unless explicitly marked otherwise. Is the scope of a variable declared in a nested block just its block, or the whole function? Is it lexically scoped?

(The scope ones are particularly treacherous, because getting those wrong often won't cause a compile or run-time error. You might just end up creating a global when you thought you were creating a local, or changing a local when you thought you were changing a global).

How do I do multi-line string literals? How do I concatenate strings? Parse strings as numbers? Apply regular expressions to strings? Find substrings?

I think at least part of the death of the Nexus 7 is because Google seemed to have no interest in refreshing it. I was looking to upgrade mine a while back and the only thing available was the same old tablet.

Google has a weird relationship with consumer devices. They release stuff, then seemingly completely abandon it for years. I don't know what exactly their goal is with some of these devices, but if e.g. Microsoft did the same thing with the XBox, they would never be where they are now.
My guess is they are referring to Reverse Debugging[1] and similar features. Basically, being able to step backwards in the code.

A feature not many realize exists already is "Restart Frame." I confess I always forget it exists in Chrome. It can get you close to "step backwards."

I don't know if you can use it to redefine a function and start it over, though. (Something you can do in languages people love the debuggers of.)

> It’s not uncommon, from my understanding, for founders/families to have almost all of the voting control in a public company.

Less than 1% of public stocks in the US have that arrangement. It's extremely uncommon.

Among public companies with market caps above $5 billion, there are extraordinarily few stocks in which founders/families have almost all of the voting power. You can count them on one hand.
It just works everywhere it's installed, on every platform, and has a long history of doing so. For something as critical as what they provide, that's the most important feature.

I see this comment quoted a lot in a jeering way, but always just the first two points. Number one is a little silly, two has some validity, three is pretty correct (there was no way to pay for it!) And the commenter answers the response to it well.

Also 2007 HN looks like a very different kind of environment. Everyone's so polite! Comments happen over several days! It's more like a feedback on a design doc than a Twitter thread.
I think of a house as more than just concrete verticals. A house has insulation, wiring, wood framing, windows, plumbing, heating, flooring, siding, roofing, ventilation not to mention all the decor that is considered part of a house. Just look at the picture in the article and ask yourself what was "printed" in that image. I think the only thing that was printed was that ugly concrete vertical layered stuff.
Ok, I admit I hadn't looked up the actual numbers before I posted that comment, but the Snell paper wasn't the last word on that line of work, it was followed by https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.05175 (which doesn't have miniImagenet results). And there may have been further work in that direction that I'm not aware of.

You're right that Reptile is the simplest recent algorithm in the meta-learning literature, but I would argue that's basically my point, they started from somewhere pretty ambitious (lets learn a learner, or at least an SGD update rule), and ended up with learning an initialization that can be updated well with a few steps of SGD.

[EDIT]: I also prefer Matching/ProtoNets style work as being simpler to deploy, since you don't need to retrain to add new classes. Maybe one day Meta-learning will be SoTA, but there's a lot of world class researchers on it, and the approaches keep tending away from actual meta-learning IMO, so my money is on the matching approach. Though my money is on integrating with data stores in general and not needing to squish everything into weights, so I'm a bit biased here.
> That being said, it's still not in a "just-works" state, and while I might enjoy fidgeting around with it to get things like push messaging to work, I can see why many people don't want to do that.

I mean, you can always read the Chinese press if you want a counter opinion. Here, global times:

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1090562.shtml

Let me warn you, however, that the worst kind of western media bias is to directly quote a chinese media article, as it gives a drastically more worse impression of China than the west ever could.
No, I agree with you completely, I'm just remarking on how everyone will have different aesthetics and things they're used to, and, ultimately, that might not be a valid complaint. Like, sure, I don't like Ruby's syntax much, but if the ecosystem is good and the language is a joy to write, eh, I'm going to compromise because you can't please everyone's subjective preferences.

I wouldn't be too worried about that. OpenXR is still baking, but I think it'll help the API issue when it's ready.
This mainly sounds like a rant about cross platform development between IOS and Android. I mean couldn't these same arguments be used to justify using RN, or flutter, or etc.. over developing IOS native. I'm sort of missing why he's pointing to Android directly. The main issue is there are two major platforms and like he said people don't want to develop things twice.
I'm from the University of Kentucky, and I've been reported on through UKNow before. The reporters are not all that great at getting information about your project, and can contain inaccuracies. I also imagine that, since some of this is patent-pending, they are not willing to divulge much else other than what is described.
"You shouldn't evaluate the validity of an argument based on where it comes from"

Then why is his name is in the title? He's not the first person to make these points. The only reason The Guardian has to publish this over the thousands of other sources of the same opinion is his name. That was my only point. I didn't even read the article because I already disagree with the premise, give more control to the wrong people, just like with DRM. Regulations become legal "weapons" just as often as they actually help society. When they do, its usually the existing big companies that can A) afford to comply and B) know how to exploit the regulations to burden their competitors.
The thing I don't like on this front for Go is the whole "dependencies on Github" thing.

If the dependencies are not vendored or pointing to the correct thing (tags, always tags!), 3 years from now your project might not build.

I like the Maven approach of the immutable binary repo.

One day a long, long time ago, I found a broken dependency from IBM uploaded on the Maven Central repo, I think. I sent the Maven Central repo maintainers a mail saying that the dependency was broken. They replied saying that they don't ever touch uploaded releases. At the time I was kind of pissed off cause it was a transitive dependency that was breaking stuff. I had to hack around it.

But over the years I've come to appreciate that wisdom.

I am a jr web developer. I attempted learning Android app development using java but gave up because it felt too complicated and hard to me as compared to web development. Last week when Google launched its flutter beta I reinstalled Android studio and worked through basic app development tutorials in their website. Dart feels cool and I feel like I can build something cool without making it too complicated. This is just my opinion but I might be wrong too as I have no experience with developing native apps.

Given that those benchmarks running on operating systems, the software(OS) matters.

No, if the OS significantly slows down a benchmark, it's a bad OS. Both Android and iOS are fine in this respect. (It's a bit fuzzier for graphics tests, I admit, where driver quality comes into play.)
Like most things, video games are a hobby for some and a vice for others. It has more to do with the person than the activity.

Also, a four year old is probably too young to be drinking beer but I don't think beer with a low ABV (0.5-2.5%) is particularly bad for older children as long as they don't drink enough to get drunk. I could be wrong about that though.
out vars are nice because you don't have to change the return type of the method you are editing. Tuples are kind of a drastic change that you can only easily undertake on initial design.

Also, for your example,

Hi, this is Matthew, one of the cofounders at New Story (YC S15). We're the nonprofit developing this 3D printed home. I'd like to share why we decided to invest in an innovation like this and where we're headed. For context, in 3 years, we've built over 1,000 homes in 11 communities around the world through local partners.

The challenge we face is monumental; there are more than a billion people across the globe living without safe shelter. To make a dent in that number, our ability to scale up has to change.

Steady, linear improvements will never reach the total addressable market of families in need.

We believe R&D and product innovation is essential with a problem of this magnitude. We have to take big swings with forward-thinking technology to achieve a quantum leap in speed, affordability, and quality.

Our goal is to help power anyone building homes for the poor — governments and non-profits alike — to do their best work. As we make these strides, it means more families around the world will have safe shelter and can better actualize their potential.

We’re looking at a one billion person deficit of a basic human need. We believe maintaining the status quo is irresponsible — it’s terrifying to us — as it’ll never tackle this deficit. Our hypothesis today is that this breakthrough to reach more families can be achieved through robotics and 3D home printing.

A year ago, the technology we needed didn’t exist. That’s when we began working with ICON to create a solution to a seemingly unsolvable problem. The exciting result is “the Vulcan,” a 3D Home Printer designed to print a home for less than $4,000 in less than 24 hours. This robotic breakthrough delivers:

* Cost decrease (from $6,500/home to ~$4,000 and even lower future cost)
* Speed increase (from ~15 days to 12–24hrs to build one home)
* Improved quality and customization of the home unit for families

Stay at my acquihire? Need advice
I am young (early 20s) and my company was just acquired. I got a small amount of cash and I have 150k in options, I get 50k of them in 12 months. The company is valued @ 100m and I think there is no chance they don't have some liquidity event in the next few years for at least 2-5x that.

But I really don't like the work I'm doing and I don't care about their mission. I kind of know what I want to do next but it is going to take a bit of time for me to flush out, but in the mean time I just really don't like being here - but I don't want to walk away from hard earned money, especially if it could be worth < million in the next 12 months. I don't want to make a financially idiotic decision and walk away from a bunch of money.

idk what to do..need some feedback. I'm not passionate so it is really hard for me to get into the work..

Hopefully this purchase will bolster Apple News. Just yesterday I was wondering if Apple News would be discontinued because Apple seems to have lost interest in it. Which is a shame, because it's probably the best news reader I've encountered. Fast. Versatile. Clean. I'm OK with ads, and the ones in Apple News are very unobtrusive.

I just wish there was an Apple News app for the desktop or web, because I don't always want to read on a tiny screen.

I have used (and often paid for) lots of magazine and newspaper apps over the last ten years, and most of them have been not great. Some not even good.

Some of the publishers have noticed this, and put out their own apps, usually with even worse results. But at least they're not paying someone else to make their brand look terrible. The only one I've found that isn't completely terrible is the New York Times, but even that has its problems.

I like how counter-intuitive is this statement.

I used to live in a place where the soil was part of a river delta. It was really easy to drill but impossible to keep the tunnel in place and free of water. And it sometimes just sinks the above-ground facilities: https://www.20minutos.es/fotos/actualidad/24-horas-en-fotos-...
