I can't think of any resources for you, though I was in a similar position over a decade ago, learned something very valuable (to me) and would like to share.

Be very careful about investing time into operations, especially standard operating processes when you're still in startup phase. Scale will fuck with SOPs like nothing else and if you hit a flashpoint, you'll likely discover that SOPs actually handcuff your early employees. A far better use of your time (at this stage) would be selecting/training staff to think more like a founder, demonstrate initiative and think their way through fucked up messes.

Metrics are relatively useful, but you've got to be very careful not to look at them as absolute measures of productivity and rather look at them as more of a sign of an upcoming problem. If you focus too much on productivity, there's a very good chance that you'll optimize away the employees who actually belong in a startup.
The school district my kids are in does this. High school starts 1 hour after elementary, and the buses just run the same routes twice.
Box is slang for vagina.
So you trust the govt to do right by you. What about the next govt? What if UKIP got in power?

Honestly I think this information is actually too dangerous for anyone to have - companies or govts. I'd like to see this kind of level of information gathering made illegal.
> If you like bread, sucks to be you. Bread is a filler for when better foods are scarce or too expensive; I would say it's not part of a good diet.

Eat better bread. Seriously. There is a reason it used to eaten a lot more than it is now, and that’s because by and large it’s badly made now. Well made bread with proper incredients is fantastic. Methods such as the Chorleywood process have removed most of the good and all the taste. Bread requires flour, water and salt. Be sceptical is there is much more than that. Crust is better with a little added sugar or honey and a little fat helps texture and flavour.

Yup, they've gone up a good amount.

And we keep having these discussions where we all agree "It's not censorship when it's a private company" but that's starting to feel like a truism we need to push back on, because if every private company that handles mass emailing decides to stop accepting a certain type of content (let's all agree we aren't talking about child pornography as the content), that is censorship. If this story were, "T-Mobile stops allowing text messages/ phone calls about blockchain" I think the reaction would be different even though they are a private company as well.
I sort of agree with you that some kids are doing it for the love. But I think they are in the minority. No matter how much you love something posting 3 videos a week has got to zap the fun out of it especially for a kid.

Also I don’t believe at all that a 12 year is really passionate about building a line of “eco friendly” skin care products and the botanical mixtures (like one of the girls on the cover of teen bo$$).
I love Tcl. The community is great. I watch the TCT (Tcl Core Team) and they are very meticulous about what changes are being made in the language. Tcl has added some things in the last few years as well. It has an object oriented framework built in (TclOO) now, which most people don't know about. I think I love it because it IS so different.
I have been wondering about this for a while about coffee and energy drinks as well. Is one a day already addiction? I have a co-worker who has a Red Bull every day and he pointed to an article that said, one per day is fine. To me it seemed way too much. Maybe moderation is once a week?
I'm pretty sure that you signed something with your insurance company that allows them to get a list of your active prescriptions even if you don't file a claim...
Yes, this is how employees are allowed to trade equity in companies they work for. They obviously have some form of inside information. This seems to be the purpose of trading windows. I just don’t know where the line is.
Does Diaspora actually provide better privacy than Facebook? It removes the need to trust a centralized entity, but it seems to me that it largely replaces it with the need to trust a multitude of distributed entities. At least if we're talking about stuff like clandestinely sharing data about people's friends with third parties.
This isn't a remotely new or unique precedent. Mailchimp and every other email marketing company have always had lists of prohibited content categories.

Datastore is a slightly different beast, they handle all the underlying node work for you , so you are not scaling your cluster. They also provide a SQL like interface for querying your data which in big table would be completely on your implementation. There exists some logical boundaries by using `namespaces` (Inherently tables) and then the `kind` for further selection.

When you query bigtable you can provide column / various filters on what type of data you would like to return or truncate. The problem with that is most of the filters at the bigtable level are regex based and can be resource intensive. The better approach with bigtable is to design a table (row key) for each type of query you would want to ask the DB.
The ICO era has pretty much passed in the US. Once everyone started limiting it to accredited investors it lost any advantage over traditional fundraising.

Currently, when you upload a video on PeerTube, you upload a preview picture with it. So yeah, it can be abused.
"They also shouldn’t be burdened with doing due diligence for every ICO to dertermine if they might be aiding and abetting fraud."

Legally speaking you are perfectly right - they can do whatever they want. But morally speaking they can't - if they have put themselves in a position where they are so popular and making so much money that it is in the general public's best interest for them to censor certain scam artists, then they should invest into content moderators. I have no idea how many people they would need to reliably sort through all the content and only block the scams. But it is the price they need to pay for deciding to censor a specific topic. Otherwise the price is being paid by all the researchers, entrepreneurs, publishers, and enthusiast, who have nothing to do with the scam artists.

This issue basically boils down to big corporations (Facebook, Google, Twitter, Mailchimp) being too lazy to do the right thing.
I'd say you owe that friend a round or two.
That emphasizes that the purpose of school isn't as much to educate children as it is to provide an economy of scale for babysitting so that more adults can participate in the workforce.

I wonder how that dynamic will interact with the decreasing need for adults in the workforce.
I fail to see how anyone "needs" an alternative to Facebook, or Facebook itself. This is not a judgement on those that use it, if it's giving people value then they should continue using it, and judging from their user's numbers it is valuable to at least a portion of the population. That being said, it wasn't around 15 years ago and who knows how long it'll stay around. I'm sure people will handle a world without Facebook just fine once it's out.

Much of that has to do with cost. By the early 2000s, floppy disks were much cheaper than they were in the 80s and 90s, and I'm guessing that was because manufacturers were optimizing for cost.

Those AOL disks that you could get for free and then reformat were clearly pretty cheap, and had a high failure rate.

The same thing is true with TVs made today - TVs are generally lower quality than ones made 20 years ago (in terms of reliability and durability), but are a lot cheaper.

If you target the higher end of the quality/cost curve, you will see an improvement in quality at the same cost (or even at a lower cost)
This is a very new-left way of looking at the issue. This is sensationalist, irresponsible, and actively luddite.

Engineering, in case the author has forgotten, has built the cars that are the leading cause of accidental death. Engineering has budgets that have to factor in a cost of human lives. The Hoover Dam was built on a foundation slick with the blood of workmen, slain like a modern Remus.

Programmers, almost without exception, have reduced that cost in lives. I in no way feel remorse for Elaine Herzberg's death, because those cars have, by the statistics, already saved far more nameless others, who will never be a headline, or a sob story aimed to impede progress.

Would you ask a doctor to mourn and beat his breast and tear his hair at every patient he lost, over every slip in judgement, or slip of the scalpal? No! It would destroy him, and weaken his judgement for the hundreds of patients he may yet save.

To the author, yes, let's grow up and look at the human cost of code. You have a long way to go. As a child, you are fixated on a single sad story. When you realize that the safety and freedom of millions will always cost a life, and that you don't get to pick who lives and who dies, then you may write again about the moral weight of the code we write, and earn my attention.
It makes me wonder just how much of this is actually going on in the neighborhood around the Ecuadoran embassy .. there surely must be sympathetic folks living in the area that are more than willing to share their Wifi with Assange .. has anyone done any scanning in the area and discovered the open "JoinThisNetWorkJulian"-style wifi SSID's that are bound to be around there?

Come to think of it, the nature of the Wifi environment around the embassy must, at the very least, be an interesting subject for a pen-test white-paper ..
Operational tasks are on you, there are scripts that can be found to help out with auto-scaling the cluster but that also does put load on the cluster because it has to do a lot of work underneath when scaling down to rearrange splits. I would only recommend scaling up.

All aggregations are done outside the DB level so yes your client would most likely have to create the logic for the rollup.
They wouldn't buy one for $2000.

Do we know what the likely price of the consumer models are? I can easily imagine dev kits staying around $2000 for a while, but that might be different to the consumer versions.

Show HN: Nomul – Craft bit ops for const integer multiplications(emscripten)
Anecdotally, (and as a story for anyone similar to me/with kids similar to how I was) I spent most of my life until college thinking that school/learning was the most miserable process in the world, and that I was terrible at it.

It turns out, waking up at ~6 every morning, and usually not going to bed until 10/12 thanks to after school classes and homework, left me with less sleep than I even need to be functional now as an adult and turned highschool into a special sort of "kid jail".

I got punished innumerable times for sleeping in class, and probably spent more time by % fighting to keep my eyes open than I did paying attention. (I had at least one teacher who threw chalk at students who slept, it was such a common occasion)

This changed like a lightswitch when in college I was able to assert that I didn't take any classes before 10. By the end of my masters I had a 4.0 (highschool had been a struggle to maintain a 3.0 with much easier classes), although it took most of that time to re-learn how to learn and pay attention. The difference was so stark it puts a fire in my belly just to think about the amount of resistance I've seen to changing this status quo. I recognize this is "for adults/work" but as a working adult I refuse to concede that we can't come up with a solution that doesn't so entirely steamroll some kids for being wired to need more sleep.

I too struggled for years during adolescence with early school start times and being generally super tired for the first 1 or 2 classes of each day. As an adult I also realize the pragmatic nature of school start times supporting our fairly typical 9-to-5 work culture.

However, I think it's important that we try to learn from this emerging data. If a body of empirical evidence starts strongly suggesting that starting school 1-2 hours later will improve information retention and learning, and if we collectively wish to maximize the success and potential of our youth then we must begin to change in order to support these goals.

I hope that by the time my future child reaches school age we will have begun to embrace a more data-driven approach to learning along with the necessary support structures to support such a change. Perhaps labor laws could be constructed to allow for more morning flexibility for parents that can demonstrate they are the legal guardian of a child whose age is between some range. I'll hope for the best.
At this point, the insurance files must contain something absolutely vile and heinous. I really can't imagine what is in them unless of course its the infamous "Hillary killing and eating a baby" video that is rumored to be among the stash of the cognescenti ..
This strategy worked well for me too until Circuit Theory. As an "early morning"[] class it was easy to bum the notes from somebody else, but the darn quizzes tanked my grades enough that I had to repeat the course the next available semester.

The difference is that no one is prohibited from creating a marketing automation (spam) organization to deliver ICO and blockchain information over email. In fact, anyone with an email server can do it. If there is a market for ICO and blockchain related email then MailChimp has just created a business opportunity for someone.

What would be totalitarian is forcing a company like MailChimp to expose itself unwillingly to the ethical and legal liabilities associated with this field.

A private company cannot censor.
Adolescence is not permanent. Adolescents require significantly more sleep than any other age group, so the jet lag would be substantially reduced for adults.

Not products, but I ended up consulting several (4 at current count) companies that found me on HN. Including my largest client ever, a certain multinational telecom company.
That's what I loved most about my college/university: no mandatory attendance.
Could wake up when I wanted, and start studying at a more suitable time.

I also have a hard time following multiple lectures during the same day. So a nice additional effect was that I, instead of attending, would study more efficiently in my own way.
This is much more blatant in my country- India.

Rich no-name dudes get themselves a birthday trend (sometimes worldwide) albeit briefly. Given that Twitter has personnel manually looking at trends it shouldn't be hard for them to immediately kill that trend. I've often seen them go on for hours and started by accounts which follow the standard bot template in their bio.

Of course of this were a trend about wiki leaks twitter is quick to suppress. I know people in the US like to pick political sides but they're slowly "progressing" themselves towards 1984 by supporting this.

That's always the case nowadays, huh? I think the days of startups CEO earning engineer level salaries and flying coach are long gone - at least for VC funded companies.
Because Facebook is blocking ads that will probably not be missed by many people. They still allow you to post about blockchain. Mailchimp apparently doesn't.
Its interesting that its easier to buy physical flight instruments with alternative units (feet/min m/s or knots for a VSI, for example) than to buy physical flight instruments in foreign languages. Other than some Russian military gear, the whole world uses English language flight instruments. I've never flown outside CONUS the idea of a IFR approach or departure being defined in knots vertical is kinda weird but theoretically possible. Maybe its for balloons or something else non-general aviation.

Being able to load up a touch screen transponder to read "ident" in hebrew or japanese is exciting both for native language familiarity and the inevitable random language changes while in flight. I can imagine the conversations on 121.5 already, "does anyone speak Romanian, my engine computer rebooted and now I can't figure out how to richen up my fuel mixture so I can land" "What is the Korean acronym for what in English is a NDB (non directional beacon)?" or whatever. At least while you're flying in Romania, even if no one speaks English you're at least surrounded by other Romanian speaking pilots also flying English language flight instruments.
I'd imagine that there were groups of humans who did this, but they got out-competed by humans who gave a higher priority to work.
To be fair, "I got fired from my job because I couldn't get there on time anymore because school starts too late" isn't particularly good for the children of the people getting fired either.

You might be confusing a few things - older steering columns were very rigid (and thus "strong"), but were also a fairly major concern in frontal or rear collisions: they would essentially impale the driver if hit at the right angle.

Modern steering columns have a telescoping construction that allows them to collapse in the event of an impact so that this isn't a big of a concern.
If it's Monday afternoon, you know you have a big meeting at 10AM Tuesday, you know you have 3 hours more of prep to do, and you know you're ineffective in the early morning, why not work later to cover that prep? This sounds like a procrastination problem more than a night owl problem.

Go nearly anywhere in Argentina and you will find mate. People walk around with a thermos of hot water and sip all day. It is a shared cultural experience too like saying hello. You see a friend, greet them, then offer them some mate.

Our SF-based company has an office in Mendoza, Argentina. You will not find baristas and coffee (though Starbucks just opened there), but plenty of mate for everyone. Due to this connection, we have plenty of supplies for mate in the office, but it is still not as commonly adopted here as coffee.
>It's kind of unfair to chide them for being preoccupied with financial stability

The question is not about financial stability, but with "being very well off financially."

> Perhaps rather than rejecting helping others, every generation since the boomers has rejected the solipsism it takes for a college student to list "develop my philosophy" as their primary goal.

I'll give you that point. Younger generations may not be as materialistic as we think. But that doesn't invalidate my argument: It would still be shitty if they became more materialistic. That could happen if we tell 12 year olds they need to worry about their personal brand.

> Honestly, page-based systems that can be accessed with a castle/boat switch is fine for modern fighters and trained pilots. Hearing a trained Eagle driver rattle off how to get to a specific menu/page from any other page is pretty impressive- "You need to change missile mode but you're on the ECS page? Back, down, down, right, right. [or something like that]" And they aren't even sitting in the plane or looking at the screens, it's just muscle memory.

Reminds me of seeing cashiers operating ansi/tui POS without even looking because they had worked up the keyboard muscle memory.

Then came the touch UIs and it all seemed to go to hell.

Sitting here thinking about it, i wonder if what made it all work was that you used arrow keys to navigate the UI and then hit a specific button to activate the focused element.

With mouse/touch oriented UIs there is no concept of activating a element. They are all "hot".
I don’t think the line is clear and I don’t think it’s relevant either.

You’re still seemingly ignoring the presumption of innocence and burden of proof. You seem to place a higher value on punishment of perceived wrongs than on liberty.

That quite frankly terrifies me.
