Isn’t it supposed to be mainly REST based and have a goal of being able to sync multiple nodes with expected connection loss in between?

I’ve never needed that on a project but it seems like it would work for some use cases. I hear good things about PouchDB.

I took the inaugural train this weekend from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale. The distance is 24miles as the crow flies and the journey exactly 30 minutes. So the average speed for this leg of the journey was 48mph.

This same journey would take 45 minutes by car in the express lane. I don't even want to imagine what this would be in the non-express during rush hour.
I see something about uploading the CSV file. Not clear where the sqlite dB is being created. Is it local? Does the browser create it? Ideally I would like to run this locally when I am playing with data.

The broadest versions of those clauses are invalid in some places, notably including California. But even California allows the employer to take ownership of certain things done on employees' own time, and many other places do allow the broadest clauses.

So yes, I agree with the advice to consult a lawyer and bring all relevant legalese for their review.
Bitwarden has been great for me. After going from LastPass to 1Pass to KeePassXC to Bitwarden, I really appreciate the simplicity of a simple browser extension without the requirement for a local client.

Bitwarden just works and checks the boxes for me. I haven't tried it yet, but there is also a fork [1] that allows us to use our own hosting.

> Most of the work done by the US government is not done by civil servants but by contractors, and the contractors hold the copyright. That tidbit of copyright law is not as useful as you might expect.

Correct, but I figured most people here would not be interested in the details of government contracting regulations. I actually do know some things about it. If the work is done by contractors (as most work for the government is), then it depends on the contract. Usually the key part is which "data rights" clause is included in the contract from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and/or FAR supplement, which can be modified in various ways in a specific contract. Papers and software get special complicated additional rules.

In any case, my point was simply that "eliminating copyright in certain cases to serve the public interest" is not a new idea - there is already some existing practice.

Back in the day, I found P.J. Plauger's "The Standard C Library" immensely instructive, as it contains a full implementation of the (then) standard library.

Admittedly, the book is more than 25 years old now, but I'm sure it would still make an interesting read:

To put it bluntly I don't think you've given it a fair consideration. As I alluded to, cryptocurrencies like XMR are actually secure by design (or rather, the best manifestation of the attempt for ideal privacy/security/fungibility)
If you think conversation is not going to the direction you enjoy - you may leverage something between ignoring silence up to firm "I am not interested in this conversation" to curb someone's unsolicited enthusiasm.

On a side note - last time i took Lyft - I had very pleasant conversation with lady who is also part time art teacher and artist.

It also fun to exchange passions - but of course - as long as it's mutually enjoyable.

In over twenty years of piracy, I’ve never actually met someone online who got something more than a pissy email from an ISP. It’s possible to be made an example of, but if you’re not profiting from the piracy it’s vanishingly unlikely. The only people I know of who got more than a token fine were involved in some other criminal enterprise besides just downloading something.
The author is obviously saying that line for encouragement not a statement of fact.
Agreed that the IP assignment is a big issue albeit you should never join a company to gain IP on a technology that will be used for a different industry (i.e. all startups focus on a platform/specific technology for one industry than move/multiply to others). In my personal opinion, it's all in how closely related the idea is (hence the recommendations for seeking an attorney). At the end of the day, I think you may be safe if you

A) have no specific ideas/ideals built into the software from your current company
B) do not leverage company resources, assets or even insights to have improved the capability of your product (i.e. your knowledge is complementary, not created or originated close to the product the company has created)
C) Prove that you deployed your product capability prior to having shifted and/or joined the company

1) In the end, if you really are big on this -- you should probably leave the company and be able to demonstrate to yourself and your investors that you deployed capability (or planned product) prior to joining the company.

2) I would be less concerned here assuming your time here is under 6 months, you can simply not choose to display it (i.e. the idea that you'll be YC ready in the next 6 months -- enough time for you to belittle/reduce/erase the time you were at the current company -- would mean that you're a lot further along. Thus by the time you're YC ready, none of this will have mattered.

P.S. I think you'll be good with YC. As a member of an existing top accelerator (Forbes B2B top rated) in Silicon Valley, most of them do not care if you have a similar idea (speak to the impact and traction instead of the idea), I believe your differentiation (not having taken from the company) and purity of code (not having been influenced or using company resources) will set you free.

> I've seen the books of some professional societies and it really costs between $1000 and $3000 per article to publish.

If it costs $1000 to publish a scientific article, your first task is to fire everyone involved in publishing.

The review of the scientific papers is done by volunteers, almost without exception. Most organizations expect camera-ready results. Few people want physical paper anymore; they're too inconvenient. PDF, please.

What we're talking about is "put a PDF on a static website, so that search engines can find it". The price actually necessary is vanishingly small. The prices here reflect the fact that various organizations have managed to gain exclusive rights over results they didn't fund to develop. Since there's a strong demand and a monopoly on supply, prices skyrocket. Econ 101.

We've been using Elixir almost exclusively for a couple years, and I can't speak highly enough about it. There are clearly problems where beam is ill-suited, but otherwise, I almost feel religious about it.

I've worked for many years with many other languages and runtimes, but beam, OTP and Elixir (and the synergy between them) are better tools. As a foundation, message passing and isolation are the only realistic weapons I've seen against most common causes of technical debt (coupling). It isn't a silver bullet, but it tries hard to help you. And, importantly, it's approachable.

Another way to look at it is that it delivers many of the same benefits of SOA/microservices, without the significant infrastructure/deploy/devops overhead.

They foresee Moviepass flexing it's muscle to drop the average cost of tickets below what's already a low margin service. Also, I wonder how many Moviepass users get concessions each time they see a flick.

My experience has also been with a decaying amount of customization. As I get better with Vim I learn more and more how to do things in a "Vim-native" manner which I had previously needed plugins for. For example, when I first started using Vim, I relied heavily on NERDTree. These days, netrw works perfectly fine for me.
Except that a transit system is now subject to the property market. And creates perverse incentives. Instead of servicing people today (dense areas with higher prices) the best returns are to service low-density areas and profit on the rise you create. That wouldn't address current a traffic problem. It's biulding the 'bridge to nowhere' over expanding current capacity. Id rather a model based on profits, not another leveraged property scheme.
Would you say it's worth going through with a rudimentary knowledge of C or will I be wasting my time?
> Also, I wonder how many Moviepass users get concessions each time they see a flick

As a MoviePass customer I buy more concessions since my budget isn't blown on the ticket.
You can run it locally - that's the default way to use it. "pip3 install datasette", create your SQLite database file and run "datasette mydb.db" to start exploring.

I've run it successfully on SQLite files up to a GB in size and theoretically it should work with much bigger files than that.

The https://publish.datasettes.com/ tool works by taking your uploaded CSVs and running my "csvs-to-sqlite" script on them, then deploying the datasette application alongside that new SQLite database file.

Inability to capture revenues from these sources makes infrastructure investment less attractive than it otherwise should be

You could also argue that this sort of infrastructure is best done by the government because it is best positioned to reap the benefits. Medieval historians would use the word Landesausbau. I understand that rural parts of Japan Railways are essentially enabling tourism.

Generally, if you're serious about getting people were they need to be quickly, you use light rail technology and principles.

Streetcars, in the sense that they're being implemented in North America are no faster than buses in mixed traffic. What they mostly lend is the idea of permanently high frequency transit, which is a positive sign for developers although not as useful for residents as light rail.
In mathematics there's always several ways to apply one's senses to understand and manipulate a concept. For example, an equation can be understood as being a string of symbols or a commutative diagram, or as a string diagram. These emphasize symbolic processing and spatial manipulation to varying degrees.

It would be perverse to tell a mathematician to use only their best intuition to learn. These sort of thing lean on each other to make one another stronger. Why would it be any different for any sort of learner?
I'm guessing you mean "dd" and "yy" to delete/yank lines. "x" deletes a single character, what you mean extract a line?

If you learn "w", which just means advance by a word, you can combine them with your existing knowledge for much better use. So "dw" becomes delete a word, or "d3w" means delete next 3 words. "v" is also useful in conjunction with "w" / "b".
I'd rather not go into much depth, because I could probably write for a few days on the economics of train transportation, but there are two aspects that are key here:

The first is that they own the land surrounding the station and are pursuing development potential. They are deliberately trying the Hong Kong MTR model here. This should help, but if they do it right (like the MTR does it), they'll be able to make money on rail revenues alone, with development being the cherry on top.

But the big one is the growth of the line. The dirty secret in HSR is that fast trains are valuable not because of their top speed, but rather because of how their acceleration enables more stops with minimal negative impact to their schedule. The revenue of a line tends to grow polynomially (where the polynomial is > 1) with the length and the number of stops, whereas the speed decreases logarithmically. The value of a Miami to Ft Lauderdale line is tiny, with the market defined by the people who are going from Miami to Ft Lauderdale. But as the line grows, the market definition will include anybody with travel demand found in the cartesian product of {Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, Palm Beach, Orlando}. That market is huge, and this segment is just the beginning.
AMC spells it out in a press release. http://investor.amctheatres.com/file/Index?KeyFile=389925821

The AMC average ticket price for watching a movie at AMC Theatres in the most recent financial quarter was $9.33. From what we can tell, by definition and absent some other form of other compensation, MoviePass will be losing money on every subscriber seeing two movies or more in a month. [...] In AMC’s view, that price level is unsustainable and only sets up consumers for ultimate disappointment down the road if or when the product can no longer be fulfilled. AMC also believes that promising essentially unlimited first-run movie content at a price below $10 per month over time will not provide sufficient revenue to operate quality theatres nor will it produce enough income to provide film makers with sufficient incentive to make great new movies. Therefore, AMC will not be able to offer discounts to MoviePass in the future, which seems to be among their aims. While AMC is not opposed to subscription programs generally, the one envisioned by MoviePass is not one AMC can embrace.

> as the community will move to Elixir

I’m skeptical. It seems more likely a new, larger community will form (probably has formed) but I think anyone sufficiently dedicated to have used such an obscure, weird language prior will stick with it.

It's definitely a good option and it's just a conventional speed intercity service: A true high speed rail line would take about 14 minutes.
It might make sense to you, but there is as yet no evidence for any of this, except more broad statements such as 'eating enormous bulk calories every day will probably kill you faster than not doing so'.

What are you saying/meaning by disease?
Cancer is tied to length of life, and to a small degree, diet (bowel ca) and other modifiable risk factors (ie fat people have higher rates of cancer due to increased numbers of cells... which is interesting because most data says we don't produce new cells for fat, the fat cells just get bigger. So there is a mismatch there that isn't entirely explained by the data i've seen)

Osteoarthritis is clearly linked to weight, so people put their knees/hips/backs out at higher rates.

lack of exercise/modern lifestyle again ties in with the sports injuries.

On everything else, I challenge you to Prove that there is actually more disease. More disease of what? We have reduced or eliminated huge volumes of disease through vaccination and other preventable health. The other stuff is life/longevity linked, or reduced activity linked (ie T2DM/Metabolic Syndrome).

It is a very modern and pseudoscientific concern to be trying to link all this to diet. Yes, you should probably try and eat fresh stuff more than processed stuff. Yes your life should include an exercise regime. But your body is pretty good at breaking down macronutrients into micronutrients, and even though some of those micronutrients can function as drugs, there is not enough evidence to say anything too exciting here

“It took me a few months to accept that I had given myself tendinosis in my phone thumb.

It is a depressingly modern condition in which the tendons around the thumb inflame as a result of repetitive strain — in my case because I had, for hours a day over years of a life, tapped that right-hand digit onto the glass of my smartphone.

The condition sounds like the subject of a local television news trend story about teenagers whose thumbs seize up while they play video games. It was definitely not something I, a mature professional, should ever have. I began to call it my numb thumb.”

Hello everybody, I am Mrs Ann ,currently living in canada,I am a married man at the moment with two kids and i was stuck in a financial situation by august 2017 and i needed to refinance and pay my bills for my son medication. I tried seeking loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success,and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, i was introduced to a Man of God a private loan lender by a friend named Mr. Stanley Kings and i got a loan sum of $10,000USD and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment. So dear,if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan with low interest rate of 2% and better repayment plans and schedule,please contact Mr John Hassan he doesn’t know that am doing this but am so happy now and i decided to let people know more about him,he offers all kinds of loans to both individuals and company and also i want God to bless him more. You can contact his company through this email oaktreecapitallimt@gmail.com
