Prioritizing the use case of the clipboard history web app would ruin the day for many 1Password / LastPass / KeePass etc users.

Automatic password filling isn't great, isn't universal, KeePass's keyboard emulation never worked reliably for me, so users of such apps rely on the clipboard a lot.

And consider that you don't have to give out a password frequently via the clipboard, you only have to do it once with a malicious app nearby.

What I'd like the OS itself to do is to block by default copy/pasting between apps, with the user agreeing to each combination, with "only once" option available.

But sadly, for historical purposes I guess, or maybe because normal users would get annoyed, the OS doesn't do that.

Yep, you're right, but the way that the parent company was directing traffic was down to setting up a bunch of unrelated pages on the site with spammy links that direct to their main content.

The company handled data on investing, but their CMS was full of pages relating to totally unrelated things like Nokia phone repairs. It was the standard long tail approach, where a thousand pages of spam getting 10 visitors a day was enough to give them a legit boost on their main pages.

When the Panda update hit, these pages killed the site, and the spammy links propping these pages up were next to worthless.

What's crazy about this is that this nonsense with open floor plan to "attract

GM's radio group, and they're pushing hot-desking on his entire building. Before
it was common practice for each engineer to have a bench for doing small
soldering and things like that at, but now even that kind of stuff is hot-desked
in a common "lab" area. From just a few conversations with him, it's clear the
drain on productivity has been insane, but nobody seems to care.
Yeah, but where do you find anybody to socialize with?

I'm also not entirely sure how it connects to "defensible" software. The ability to set a standard so that you're able to build that audience that you need for a network effect to kick in is difficult, and is typically rare. It might serve well in a small niche market, but you'll be unlikely to expand past that market with out getting scooped by one of the bigger competitors.

I'm curious to learn how it's supposed to offer protection in the current environment.

Well, you may need this one https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/8anepx/a_fake_home...

The main purpose of this page is trying to make new developers come to ClojureScript feel better by providing informations. People in Clojure community already knew it so I don't have to emphasis that my side is unofficial again. Plus I added a link at the corner.

I think you might be underestimating the unwillingness of older people to relocate or travel long distances for a 'job opportunity'. These are also people who probably tend not to live in bigger cities as much.

They've seen countless jobs come & go, but they choose to live where they are for long-standing reasons which are often harder to let go of the older they get. They've moved away from the hustle and bustle and are happy with their choice.

I have personally met older people with higher end skills (that would command a six figure salary in certain cities) choosing to work as janitors at a local institution instead of chasing that dollar, because they love their town and lifestyle and the cost of living is low.

Edit: Forgot to add, I also know a guy over 70 who flies all over the place doing COBOL work and is making bank doing it.

Most good corporate environments should be controlling what plugins they allow users to install in their browsers. (For the few users we permit to use Chrome, for example, all extensions are disabled.)

But again, the issue is not your specific configuration (or GP's specific configuration), the point is that Google cannot assume same IP or browser fingerprint is a definitive association of identity, whereas signing in additional users in Google's app definitely does.
You can start with a review of what kind of personal data you collect, if data is only "personal data" or it includes "sensitive personal data".

Then, consider how to get consent from users. A passive way of getting consent would not work under GDPR. You can look at the examples with those "I agree with..." type of checkbox (also called clickwrap) for inspiration how to get consent.

Then, take in consideration the user rights under GDPR and how you'll help users in this matter: right to update data, right to delete data, right to data portability and so on:

I'd be interested in counterpoints but I'm inclined to agree. I'm mostly remote now though I have an office I can go into. However, while it's true that communication systems are much different than earlier in my career, it's hard for me to imagine the first ten years or so of my career after grad school working remotely.

There are many stages for a nascent startup to fail. Getting into the incubator is only the first step, and perhaps the easiest to give up at. I would encourage all people who got rejected to fail-fast and keep trying.

I have a friend who got into an incubator with a crypto idea and very positive feedback on the idea. Six months after funding, the whole thing imploded due to personal conflict. At the time, my friend had recently up with his girlfriend of five years and the venture ran out of steam. They ended up returning the money to investors. When the crypto bubble hit he was kicking himself having just missed out.

After that, he took a break to go overseas and recuperate. As I write this, my friend has just closed a $1m seed round for his next project and is well on the way to rolling it out. Last night he popped the question to his now fiance. It's important to remember that startups are a marathon, not a sprint. Roll with the punches, learn from your mistakes and keep on hustling :).

Yup, we'll never know if the bug was intentional or not, and that's why the fix being centrally coordinated is scary. Maybe it was a legitimate mistake, but maybe one of the developers planned this and executed large double-spends on the 0.8 branch because he knew 0.7 would be ultimately chosen. The fact that nothing prevents this type of attack is worrisome.

You can see how the developers behaved like a central authority in the IRC logs of the bitcoin-dev channel. More info here: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2015/07/28/analyzing-the-2013-...

Solution is simple: a few big trash trucks going through, picking them up and squishing them like little bugs. As soon as the companies that provide them start losing those multi-hundred to multi-thousand dollar bikes in quantify of hundreds or thousands they ( the companies ) will figure out how to deal with it.

MTA a few years ago dealt with bicyclists ignoring "Dont chain your bikes to X" signs by sending its workers to cut the bikes in addition to cutting the lock chains. This quickly solved the problem.
If livestock ranchers cannot sell the skins as leather, they can sell them as cracklings. Or as parchment. Or as gelatin. Or as pet food. Or as fertilizer.

As long as the demand for some product causes the animal to be raised, the undesirable parts will become by-products.

A competitor for leather would depress the price of animal leather, which would tend to raise the price of meat, probably disproportionately for the best cuts. Forelegs, brains, and chitterlings would go up a few cents a pound, while tongues and tenderloins would go up by dollars per pound.

That might encourage people to eat less meat, but it might also encourage them to substitute the cheaper cuts of meat--which include the skins. Rawhide soup, anyone?

Would love to see the anti portfolio list of YC.[1]

FWIW - We have been rejected 3 times from YC over the last 3 years. We did not take it personally as OP said, put our heads down and got working on our startup.

After lot of hard work, setbacks and near death experiences, we are now currently growing ~10% MoM and generating millions in ARR. YC or any other investor/accelerator should never be the make or break thing for a startup - it should be your own judgement call on whether you want to continue or not based on market feedback.

Container hype fizzled?
I think Solid (https://solid.mit.edu/) is a tech that could change that (if only partly). Instead of the social media business holding all of your data and locking you in, you would hold your data and the social media site would serve as a platform to view that data. If you dislike what a particular company is doing, you could easily switch to someone else and not lose out on any of your social connections.
People in the Clojure community might know that your site is not the official one, but people new to Clojure(script) might not!

I actually thought it was the official website first time I visited the page. (The "Back to official" link is not clear enough)

I agree with the improvements that were suggested. (different logo or putting unofficial in the title)
Because they're so damn complicated.

The guys at my work made the switch to containers months ago and we've yet to realize any gains from them, whether that be productivity, efficiency, cost savings, scaling...the list goes on.

Development is more complicated and slower, everyone is on macs so docker runs like shit (I know I know there are syncing plugins but that's a workaround hack).

Even though I'm no longer an engineer and instead am in product, I still have strong opinions about a lot of things technical so I have to bite my tongue sometimes and trust team members.

It's just hard to watch people lose sight of the Why's for doing something and instead gravitate to that cool new shiny thing, even though it adds more layers of abstraction and complexity than most teams need.
This is an article about how Marissa Mayer.... isn't doing anything, but still exists.

Highlights include... she rented office space.

It seriously reads like the New York Times is required to print a quarterly piece on Marissa Mayer, even if it has no news value, and she hasn't done anything particularly interesting.

KLEE is a symbolic execution engine. You can use it to analyse your program. A symbolic execution considers all possible values for all variables. E.g.:

int x = readIntFromIO(); // -2147483648 to 2147483647

On branches constraints are added.

if(x < 3) {
// -2147483648 to 2
} else {
// 3 to 2147483647
}

In this way all possible paths of the program are considered. When the execution terminates, e.g. on reaching a abort() or fail() statemant, a constraint solver calculates the input values to reach this statement. This values could be considers as test cases.

You can add assert() statements to your code for expressions (e.g. assert(x != 3) ) that you assume to be an inconsistent states and solver will give you test cases for this.
Maybe you can write something quickly in one hour but then continuously improve as you go along. That way you can come up with some semi-original content to begin with but over time, if properly maintained, it will flourish into something even better.

> Or perhaps I'm doing it unconsciously?

You are. I proved this to myself once by applying pressure to the handlebars using only the palm of my hands on the backside of each handle. Even at very slow speeds, I could not for the life of me turn left by applying pressure only to the right bar (to turn the front wheel to the left). No amount of leaning helped. To lean the bike, I needed to create some external force to push it over. Leaning my own body to the left just made the bike lean to the right.
Interestingly my comment here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16867880 - ties into the concern you voiced.

It's now overrated anyway. You can hear it from many people unaffiliated with YC, but even some recent YC founders.

It's now mostly "YC stamp of approval" that increases your brand and access to good investors on demo day.

Everything else (e.g. educational value, sense of community) gets degraded due to huge batch sizes (294 founders in S17) and most of the things YC teaches becoming public knowledge.
They also don't see the justice system through the eyes of a non-lawyer. If they did, we would likely see a lot of reforms that tried to simplify the courts and reduce the price of justice for ordinary citizens. As it is, that price is basically beyond the reach of most of us, unless the potential settlement is large enough that a lawyer will take it on speculatively. We've turned the Common Law from something that citizens can use to get justice for wrongs against them into something that is only accessible by corporations, or by people so wealthy that their financial and business lives operate as corporations do.

Justice has always been for sale. What's happened is that the price has increased to the point where most of us can't afford it.
Why does software cost so much?
2W when idle is very high.

Are you sure it is just the Core A53 or is it measured in power/battery connection which account for the display, wifi, DDR, IO, etc?

I did power profile for cellphone SOC couple years ago. Typical power usage for CPU is very low - milli-watts or less range for IDLE, worst case 1-2 W at full performance mode OP (Operating Point).

When I profiled it, the Display, Wifi module consumed a lot more power than CPU/SOC during "normal" operations.
