Same thing in Norway wrt hyphenation; we use hyphens a lot. And I am well aware that native English speakers use them much less frequently but I intentionally use hyphens in places where an English speaker would not when there is ambiguity that can be resolved by using them. I also use hyphens for aesthetic reasons sometimes just based on what looks better to me.

Also like a sibling commenter said, it’s not necessarily an error to hyphenate even though people that grew up in the US or the UK wouldn’t.

In the case of OP title I would not have hyphenated though.
I agree but there's probably a limit on that sentiment.

If you start a family you are likely to become more risk adverse, this would increase again as you approach retirement.
Ask HN: Early exercising of options
Question:

What are some of the smart ways to fund the exercise money and for AMT?

My current options:

1. Asking the founders to pay for exercise money and 50% of AMT.
(Of course this is the best. Please suggest any interesting stories to spin for this)

2. Not exercise at all

3. Loan(aginst the options) from private equity holders.(A friend of mine mentioned there are companies that do it)

My Story:

I feel bad that I didn't stress upon early exercise and waited 4 years for all options to vest.
It is just plain stupid. I was employee #1, I had the luxury and upper hand in requesting it and likely getting approved without a hassle. Early exercising would have saved at least $100,000 in AMT in my case.

We just raised Series A and planning to do Series B in 12 months.

Here is another sad story where he/she gave up vested options due to prohibitive AMT.

I wonder if AV1 could work with an OpenCL decoder since it does block prediction. Would almost certainly need too much per-frame sychronization to work though...
Just curious. What is it?
I don’t even want that. I just want a keyboard that doesn’t blow. iOS provides no key remapping and most iPad keyboard covers don’t have esc keys. The only way for me to type semi-fluidly on an iPad in a terminal is to hook up one of those happy hacker keyboards to a hand held scientific usb-to-Bluetooth adapter.
On a similar vein, I've used http://www.huevaluechroma.com/ extensively for learning about color theory.

This is the first economically feasible, rational, and internally consistent response in this thread.

While it still takes a leap of faith to buy, the argument is sound. And using some other posters' terminology, we can put it like this:

If this works, it will drive significant revenue growth and consolidation of both the rideshare and bikeshare markets.

If it fails, meh. It's just "rounding error."

Seems like a low-risk, high reward proposition to me, the way you stated it.
Sounds like you could get a stable VoIP number and just use that. One time cost and has its uses for cheap long distance calling.
> I'm pretty much stuck, out of the box, with AP specific DNS policy.

It certainly isn't "out of the box", but on the off chance it's useful to you -- you can change dhclient (/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf) to specify your own DNS servers. This is what I do, pointing at a bind instance I run, and it provides plenty of warm feels. Or, heck, you could run a full resolver locally.
Yea I've never seen anyone riding with a helmet on these scooters. U see them all over south park bear the ball park.

I've rode a personal electric scooter for over a year now and I can say a helmet is a must. The biggest dangers I've seen is clueless uber/ lyft drivers cutting you off (happens a lot) and pot holes / cracks in the pavement. They travel at 10+ mph so if you hit a big enough pot hole your going to eat it.
I'm also skeptical of the accuracy of these dating techniques until we have more evidence that corroborates their findings. That being said, I'm also very skeptical of the prevailing existing theories about the distant past as well. The dearth of concrete evidence from the distant past necessarily makes it difficult or impossible to make definitive statements. Skepticism and demand for evidence should always be our guiding light, no matter how widely accepted a theory is.

There are 2 scenarios that are often conflated,

1) An AI which independently & autonomously generates goals that in their carrying out end up hurting humanity, and

2) An AI trained & commanded by a malevolent actor to hurt humanity.

It is the 2nd case that is far more real, and far more troublesome to implement safeguards. An AI under your training & command is a neutral tool of empowerment, much like a hammer or a car. The malevolence is in the external actor, not in the tool, and there is no way for the tool to be able to censor its purposes, especially in a pre-"AGI" sense of semi-intelligent automation & problem solving.

Anyhow, back on the original question, I honestly don't remember the question of Obama's data mining getting much attention at all. There were a handful of laudatory articles, but most of the focus was on how Obama outmaneuvered Hillary via strong electoral strategies, rather than voter targeting. It is somewhat interesting that Hillary's losses both look very similar in those regards, though.

So it was noticed on some level, but it just didn't get much scrutiny that I can recall.
Hey, I saw you present this on Saturday and really loved the idea of 'I write programs in Crayon'. I couldn't find anything related posted on HN so I decided to make a submission. Hope it didn't cause too much troubles.
Heh, I don't know how I feel about this, at least for people who are highly talented. Intelligent hard working people at this day in age often choose practical career paths that they like, which lead to ample job opportunity.
Sadly you may be right, but quite a few of the major surveillance companies have already been looted: Yahoo, then Equifax, then Facebook. Maybe Google hasn't (yet, that we know of), but it's probably just a matter of time. Fortunately, other than the "psychographic" woo-woo promoted by various organizations, that stuff has a relatively short half-life, and it seems like quite a few people are aware of the problem.

Think of it like nuclear power: it has both advantages and problems, and it seemed inevitable until Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima killed it. What if we're watching the general public become aware of the downsides of the surveillance economy?

There are a lot of jobs like this in economies where stasis and stability are prized over creative destruction. These organization continue to exist because companies are considered sacrosanct ... they are sources of jobs that are to be protected at all costs. The jobs themselves are sacrosanct. Very hard and slow to fire people. So people hire slowly. So there are few jobs. So the few open positions are positions where the employer abuses the employees.

Have you ever noticed how many smart French programmers there are in the USA? People vote with their feet when given a chance.

> we’ve been sold a bill of goods when we’re told to “Follow your passion, “ or “Do what you love and the money will follow.” Fact is, if you do what you love, you’ll probably starve.

I started thinking this somewhere around halfway through college, when my parents were telling me to do what I love and I was trying to figure out what to do for a living - especially when my parents were struggling, themselves. I feel like "do what you love" was a really compelling pipe dream for my parents because they had always done the opposite to get by and improve their circumstances, and it sucked. They wanted better for their kids, but at the same time, it is easily some of the worst advice I've ever received.

Also, whenever someone wanted to order a 'medium rare' steak, and I had to say we only make them 'pink' or 'no pink.' That's because most of the kitchen is a row of microwaves. The steaks were cooked on a stove top, but then microwaved to death. Pink or no pink only referred to how microwaved to death you want your meat."

Correct, the initial 16k LoC was not complete.
In fact ( no metrics ), I deleted large portions of redundant files/code and at one stage we were back at about 11k LoC.

The comment about 16k -> 45k LoC was to give an idea of how much we had added to the product over the last 10 months.
They really undersold it. 800$ per day is what it earns in appreciation, but it earns even more when you rent it out.

If I already have a high-availability key-value DB with persistence, sure - but probably I don't, most designs I've seen for SQL + KV on top involve using it as a pure cache with explicit permission to drop the KV store instead of restoring that to a disk snapshot whenever something goes funny. And for this use case (robustness against reverting the SQL database), making the KV store a mere cache of data in the SQL database defeats the point entirely.

And, honestly, most sites I've seen don't need the cache, they can just run on top of the SQL database itself. The fact that you're not serving hundreds of queries per second doesn't mean you don't need security.

Having run Zookeeper, "No paxos or network splits" isn't really how I would describe it. (Nor "super simple to operate.") When it works, it works well, but it's another thing that you need to operate. Adding a dependency on a cloud service just to supply autoincrement doesn't really sound like a great solution. Especially because, by the nature of the problem, I am outsourcing auth to the cloud service: a malicious service can pretty easily issue themselves token for an arbitrary user. And if I'm not already comfortable outsourcing auth, e.g., because everything is in this cloud already, it doesn't seem like this actually solves my original problem which was increasing security.
Not in the same sense.

Most people don't care nearly as much that a telemarketer knows their name and that they have an above average chance of being interested in refinancing their house as they do about the fact that the call interrupted dinner.

Queue up some saying about trees, sky, growth, etc.
I once tried to look into this and came away thinking it was all very circular (tree rings calibrated to archeology used to calibrate radioisotopes used to calibrate tree rings). There seemed to be a lot of room for cherry picking which data was "good" vs "corrupted" until everything matched up.

Also it seemed to rely a lot on calibrating to the "known" date of ancient egyptian artifacts, which were in turn originally dated using the bible. Ie, if a radioisotope date from an artifact with a "known" date disagreed with that, it would be rejected.

Show HN: KANN – mid-scale deep learning and autodiff in ANSI C (4 files; 4k LOC)

There have been several posts on tiny/lightweight neural network libraries. They are indeed small, but they only implement the most basic multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) with little optimization (e.g. they often implement backprop inefficiently). KANN is far beyond MLPs. It implements automatic differentiation on top of generic computational graphs [1], supporting dropout, proper mini-batching, reshape/slice/concat of general n-d arrays, arbitrary weight sharing, 1D/2D convolution/pooling, SGD/RMSprop, RNN/LSTM and graph/weight saving/loading. KANN is like a CPU-only mini-tensorflow.

KANN optimizes convolution [2] and matrix multiplication [3] (also optionally calls BLAS' sgemm). It can use SSE and multi-threading when available. On multiple threads, KANN is sometimes faster than CPU-only Theano+Keras.

I implemented KANN when I was studying deep learning [4]. I have not touched the code base for a while as I am not really working on ML/DL. Nonetheless, KANN should still work fine.

Colleges.

I remember my time as a freshman, getting a bike from Walmart became a necessity after the first couple weeks.

After every winter, I had to fix or buy a new bike just because parts got rusty, broked or vandalize.

So I would totally be happy to just use a shared bike if it was available back then.

The scene cares a lot about codec support.

You can tell that they do if you read the scene standards.

They care much much more about this than most people do. Even a lot of people that work with video professionally don’t care as much about codecs and codec support as these guys do.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_(warez)#Video_standar...

So no, I don’t believe that “real” scene groups would start using a new codec unless it was widely supported. The scene standards, then, would not include such codecs. Failure to follow scene standards will have your releases nuked in the scene.

As for the torrent sites, if someone puts up videos using codecs that cause the videos to stutter or plain fail to play then the torrent users will learn to associate whoever encoded those videos with videos that don’t work and they will avoid torrents with that person or group name in them.

They've got billions of dollars to dump into a ginormous phased array with nearly perfect acoustic isolation, no gravity or kids tripping over wires to mess up an absurdly long baseline, custom software stack, custom steering loop, and probably even custom silicon.

I'd expect them to do substantially better than some dudes in the desert with glorified cookware. Especially when it comes to the steering loop, because if there's one thing phased arrays are really, really good at, that's it.
Those institutions need kids to continue, but they don't treat them well enough for me to want to give them grist for their mill. Raising kids is a biological imperative and a dumb move otherwise.

According to the non-profit Brookings Institute, there are 3 simple rules to avoid poverty:

- At least finish high school
- Get a full-time job
- Wait until age 21 to get married and have children

Of those that follow these 3 rules, only 2% are still in poverty.

This is in itself is very short in analysis. What do you think people do when they get more money? They spend it.

If they don't directly spend it either by cashing out, borrowing against it, etc. The fund manager controlling that savings fund will deploy some of that capital and put it to work.

If the money is saved and then put to work like just established, then it becomes a multiplier. If the money is taken as a tax and spent by the government it doesn't become a multiplier.

Take $10 sitting in savings. It can be spent/invested buying a good and that circulates to all the intermediaries and suppliers around the economy. That is not what happens when you tax Peter to pay Paul.

Reminds me of the goodwill computer store in Austin.

https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/10/29/1823212/welcome...

In the late 1990's they had a lot of "junk", which a couple of the employees curated into a museum of early computing. Then they moved buildings (from where vans autoparts is to the goodwill complex east of 35). The museum was formalized, but they also instituted some kind of "policy" that apparently went along the lines of "if its not in a black PC case put it in the recycling bin" and the guys running the dropoff/collection promptly "recycled" tons of rare stuff that in many cases could have been sold on ebay for 100x what they were making in the computer store itself (queue story of racing there to retrieve a high end 10 year old sun server only to be told it was in the bottom of a dumpster being shipped off to china/wherever to be "recycled").

So the store itself became worthless since it really only sold 3-4 year old PCs for frequently for more than what could be had on a good day at fry's. It stopped being a place to find parts for older machines, which made it effectively useless.

A couple years ago they closed down the computer museum too. I remember reading that they sent some of the documentation/etc to UT, some of the hardware to other museums and sold the rest of it on ebay or recycled it.
