Public markets are highly efficient and it’s difficult to have a real sustainable advantage. Private markets are different. Access to deal flow is king and there is no insider trading because not everyone has the right to invest in any company they want. This concentrates returns in a handful of king makers.
Has security been getting worse on windows?

That’s a bold claim presented without evidence.

> If you are working problem X and people have looked this problem before, you should think doubly or triply before you claim your step-forward is necessary because people as smart as you already tried to think of everything.

At the same time, such reasoning is used to dismiss or discourage new attempts, often unfairly:

- each of the earlier people were approaching that problem from a specific angle, and new people might be approaching it from an untried angle

- the earlier people might have had limited time to really investigate the matter, so there may be unturned stones

- advances since the earlier work may give newer researchers a leg up.

Note that all of these apply even if (as is likely) the earlier researchers were very smart.
I agree that a constitutional republic is a type of democracy, but a democracy is not a constitutional republic. Both systems are a representational form of government, but in a true democracy the majority rules. In a constitutional republic, constraints are placed upon the government which, ideally, work to protect the minority.

For example, in a pure democracy, gay marriage would not be a thing, because the majority voted against it. However, because we are a republic, and the government is compelled to recognize the minority and protect their rights, gay marriage is now legal.

I don't think this distinction is "splitting hairs," since it is of vital importance to the minority.

Github: http://github.com/ccajas

Full-stack web developer with some recent game/graphics developer experience. My interests revolve around data visualization, games and simulation work. I have worked as a contractor for two indie games on Steam, as well as for a SaaS startup using JavaScript.

I'm handy at assisting with programming challenges related to performance or improving the visual experience of your application.

I prefer contact by e-mail, chris.cajas.m - at - gmail.com. Please leave a detailed message with a number to reach you at if you decide to make a call. I usually don't answer unknown numbers at first.
Thanks, I didn't see those plans in the app. Video pricing is great, but may be hard to work with for real-time feeds. I would probably be reducing the framerate to 8 FPS and using those images for detection.
That's kind of the crowd for something that saves you a bit of money at the cost of a huge chunk of your time, isn't it?
Some I can remember were:

- not understanding the distinction between the password stored in 1password vs that on the server, eg thinking that changing the 1password one would change the original, thus locking themselves out ;)

- being completely thrown by 1Password's distinction between password & login entries

- assuming that changing the OS password would change the 1P master password automatically (really)

- the iOS share menu-based version is particularly opaque to almost all of them, and only my mother ever got familiar enough with it to manage it when I'm not around (& this only because of my regular interventions over months)

- not understanding (or noticing) the difference between updating a login entry and creating a new one, and ending up with a mess of contradictory logins

- getting completely thrown by different logins for different subdomains

There have been many more, these are just a sample of what I remember now. At a rough guess I'd say I've introduced 1Password to perhaps 20 non-tech users. Only one has continued. Many people simply lack any mental model whatsoever of how the different faces of software interact, so they get in a terrible muddle.

> why do they find it any more complex than web browser bookmarks, or email?

I don't think any use bookmarks (few people do, not even many use urls -- the vast majority in my experience use google to find sites. Every visit!).

Email's a special case. It's been around a very long time, and is used throughout the day in many workplaces, so a much higher level of familiarity has built up. Even here though, it's only the advent of large scale cloud providers (gmail, exchange/outlook/live etc) that has made email truly usable for many. Before gmail in particular, I used to have to help all my friends and family with their email, at least during setup, and often again with things like managing inbox quotas etc (with POP). It is easier now, mainly because the common interfaces hide just about everything, and there are few enough dominant ones such that devices come preconfigured knowing how to connect to them.
I'm no expert in this, but this would definitely not be the first to claim to have solved this manuscript. In fact, less than a year ago, another person claimed that it was written in Latin shorthand and was a women's health book. Although apparently that translation was debunked.
As someone who spends a fair amount of time with software developed by researchers (mostly biochemistry visualization software), that for all the "research into what has been done", I think there is a huge amount of effort being duplicated all over the place. In my experience this is due to the relatively short timelines of grants, the fact that you have to spend most of your grant money demonstrating that what you created has some kind of scientific impact vs actually implementing the thing, and, as others have pointed out, the fact that a lot of the core work is done by diamond-in-the-rough superstar grad students who will move on after 2-4 years.
Yeah I didn't either, until not too long ago but now I'm pretty excited to use it.

As a person who wasn't a linux admin back in the 90s, and doesn't normally hang out on mailing lists, the first time I saw lxc was some random article on lwn.net (I don't hang out there, but they have some super high quality articles), and I definitely didn't put together how much of a difference it was poised to make, or even know why it was a good idea (people were still getting used to vagrant everywhere at the time) -- docker definitely did the community a service by bringing the hype train, if only so that once the hype subsided containers would be here to stay.
Ask HN: Appropriate developer equity for post-MVP startup?
It seems like all of the equity guidelines are based on a startup being built from scratch. In the case where a startup already has a functional product with a small amount of users (but still pre-revenue and no outside capital), what is an appropriate equity % for a mobile developer drawing no salary?
How is that your personal experience?

Neat! Any plans for mobile apps?
Well everyone (including myself) likes to complain about it, but there is a huge difference in how many OS updates it takes to break a legacy application on OS X and Windows. If we really expected the OS X updates to not break things, we'd move to a different OS.
I never understood why anyone young would start smoking. Throughout my K-12 education, I was told every single year that smoking is bad and all that jazz (i.e. shown pictures of what a smoker's lungs look like, shown documentaries on the negative effects, etc.).

It definitely isn't for lack of trying of my school district's part, and yet high single digit percentages of my peers in high school were using some form of tobacco/nicotine when I graduated in 2015.

It's well settled science that using these types of products cannot possibly be good for you. It baffles me why anyone would intentionally create an addiction/habit that, at absolute best, is neutral for your health.
One issue is even with accredited investors is the so-called 99 investor problem for pooled investment vehicles. If I’m a company I don’t want thousands of individual shareholders on my captable. The answer would be that we could have crowdfunded VC funds that invests. But because the SEC limits pooled investment vehicles to 99 accredited investors you limit the number of $1k-$100k checks you can take in, which then limits how big a crowdfunded VC could be.
Except that domestic producers now have carte blanche to raise the price of their products to just below the tariffed price.
No conference in CS pays the publishing company (usually IEEE or ACM) to pick reviewers. None whatsoever. Instead, program committee (PC) chairs are selected, and they pick PC members who are responsible for reviews. All of this occurs on a volunteer basis, no matter which institution the PC chairs/members belong to.

> just happens that the resume byline "conference organizer" is valuable enough in that field.

Being editor of a journal/PC chair is a valuable thing in any field, not just CS.

Its fair advice, but some eyesight issues cannot be solved with glasses.. if they can be solved at all.

Also worth noting that with TVs the distance matters a lot. With monitors, laptops, and gadgets it is relatively stable.

It’s a good point, but I suspect the transition (if it happens) will be staged over time to make it easier.

Since the parent mentioned installing using a package manager, could it be default in that case as well as in the `cargo install` case where cargo essentially controls the binary?

If not default, could it be more easily chosen with a shorter option?

Is a rust heap/runtime packaged for distros like Debian which have packaged binaries of some crates?

Note, I'm not in favor of making dynamic default for `cargo build`.

Just become a professional games developer, then you are forced to use Windows (for example to develop for Xbox One). The nice thing is: you can then say, 100%, Windows is the right tool for the job, and you can ignore the people claiming Linux or MacOS are better.

I have worked at three games development studios, some of the biggest in Europe and every single developer machine runs Windows.

SEEKING WORK - NYC, mostly remote preferred, but open to travel for larger projects, major meetings, etc.

I'm a senior iOS developer with experience as a product manager and startup founder.

Since 2010, I've built, launched, grown, and supported many dozens of complex native iPad and iPhone apps, and worked on mobile app projects with everyone from tiny startups to design shops to Fortune 500 companies to government agencies.

I have deep experience with Objective-C and Swift, as well as backend experience with LAMP (esp Laravel, WP, and others), Firebase, and Parse.

MOST importantly, I have real-world, personal experience in making sure that money spent = business results, not just reinventing the wheel with the latest developer-hyped obsessions (I love shiny toys too, but only when they support the business goals).

I focus on two things these days:

1. Long-term maintenance and support of mobile apps, both enterprise and consumer-facing. Ensuring everything stays up-to-date with OS changes, fixing bugs, adding new features, doing redesigns, and generally making sure that your investment in an app pays off in the long run. Discounts for multiple apps, agencies (who want to resell this to their clients), and non-profits. We cover Android and hybrid apps as well.

2. Building MVP mobile apps for startups. I help startups go from a great idea to having a polished app in the hands of their users as fast as possible. So if you have a broad concept and you need someone who understands the entire product development / startup funding / business growth lifecycle and how to get things done within those constraints, I'm an excellent fit.

I'd love the opportunity to work with you if things are a good fit!

One of my friends does this with his long-term girlfriend. I think they're at something like a 3 year streak at this point. They've exchanged username/password credentials to keep the streak alive in the event one of them forgets or my friend messes up his phone so badly he can't get it to boot. He's very enthusiastic about custom ROMs on Android so bricking his phone is not out of the ordinary.

edit: he says they've done that at least twice
I bought a qotom mini pc with 4 lab ports off amazon. It’s worked really well. I accidentally knocked it offline yesterday and it came right back up.

What I love about OpenBSD is the documentation. If An openbsd manpage describes it then it will work like that.

The only bummer is it’s a bit of a niche. I’m sure the majority of Linux distros dwarf its development team in warm bodies.
I believe the reason for this was to protect the women. Not sure though.

I disagree from personal experience. Smoke is harsh and never tasted appealing to me. Vaping at a low nicotine level is a much more enjoyable experience.
(1) Someone else in this context refers to anyone other than the author-researcher. The point I am attempting to make is that researchers, as long as they are on an academic grant and salary, and with the prospects of generating millions of dollars of private property, have no incentive to change the system.
(2) It is clear that in electronics, biochemistry, and even in my little field, laser physics, the commercial applications overwhelm traditional pure research in degree of economic input, persons employed, turnover, etc. This is true in all hard sciences and life sciences. If it is not true in other fields, do they outweigh the scientific engineering fields? I think not.
> Does anyone suggest insulin spikes are good?

Actually nice "case in point".

I have seen evidence presented that it's not the spikes that are the problem, but the "area under the curve".

ie. An insulin spike is just the body doing what it should, keeping the blood sugar in bounds.

However, it's how long times it goes on for times how high that does the damage (to an obese person).

ie. Nutrition science is packed solid with fine fine print and noxious little interactions and feedback loops.

Very little of which fits in a Cosmo magazine sound bite or is applicable to a general population.

How does "going Windows" make doing small business accounting easier?
It’s ridiculous that a one person startup with no revenue has to spend time dealing with GDPR regulations. This should have been structured to deal with the kinds of entities that lead to the law being written in the first place. This is only going to tax small startups and stifle innovation, giving an even bigger moat to the large incumbents. The road to hell is paved with good intentions...

Funding, or a startup enterprise, is certainly needed to administer the peer review process. I'm willing to bet it would be less than $10 per paper in universal use.

I just checked the app store on my Mac. I have just 1 application installed from the app store: Xcode. Even then that's just because Apple makes me have it installed to have command line tools such as git.

I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of applications (Microsoft Office, games, browsers, text editors, IDEs, etc.) installed on Macs are sourced from places other than the app store.
