I think your previous answer using the word "fun" was spot-on. I have a non-CS PhD that's not really related to what I do today. I would describe what I did previously as "fun"; despite the intensity and worse WLB than life in a big-tech company, you're ostensibly choosing projects that you and your adviser consider fun. In bigtech, you have a lot less freedom to choose what to do. Seriously, if you don't consider your PhD fun, you should just drop out now; if you plan on just going to industry later to make money (esp as a SWE), there's no reason to get a PhD.
Ah my bad. Sorry.
Opposition to Breast-Feeding Resolution by U.S. Stuns World Health Officials
Thanks so much for writing this memoir! It is absolutely brilliant. Considering you had a somewhat unconventional PhD with your independent projects, what was the main role of your advisor? How do you make the most of such a situation to extract knowledge out of professors who may not have an incentive to be directly involved in your project to the usual degree?

With the moderation encouraging such thoughtfulness, I agree.

There may eventually be a point where the frustrations of seeing political inanities triggers a chilling effect on new insightful submissions/comments, but I'd be surprised if we are there yet.
Which post ww2 invasion has China done? Granted, like the USA they've been involved as backers in places like Vietnam - but there's a difference between giving support, and invading?

Let's not forget that the US has a history of things like, training, supporting ho chi Minh - only to end up fighting a war against him. Training, supporting Mujahideen - only to end up fighting a war. Supporting Saddam Hussein, only to fight a war. Training, supporting contras and similar forces in Latin America - and is now fighting a shooting war on drugs in these countries...

[ed: as mentioned in a sibling comment - China intervened with troops in Korea - my apologies - I'm afraid the Vietnam War and later conflicts are more fresh in my mind.

The discussion of the movie Eighth Grade has some interesting reflections on how modern kids interact with technology. At least as relevant, though, is hearing how Burnham is trying to break through his early success and continue to find meaning in his work.
It may unfortunately be path-dependent, and the large entities that exist now will not choose to convert. However, if you imagine a parallel universe in which blockchain was invented before large institutions formed, then those institutions may have formed around Blockchains, because then they wouldn't have to trust each other.

Right now, getting into the 'trusted financial institution' list is extremely difficult. It's a slow, incremental process that takes decades of good behavior and careful stewardship. Part of the reason it's so difficult and so heavily regulated is because of how much trust we place in these institutions. If we did not have to trust them so much, it would be easier to become one. It would have less need for regulation. Incumbents would be weaker, and the industry as a whole would therefore be healthier. This is sort of an abstract point, but I think it's the truest sense in which blockchain may change the world: by commoditizing trust.

My example would apply whenever an analyst comments on AA or whenever any polarized headlines is published about AA.

> It is the point of the markets to reward [information]

But that's exactly what we're debating: why is updating information a couple microseconds earlier something that is valuable? Conversely, if it doesn't make the market more efficient, it shouldn't be rewarded.

Since you mainly want to talk about market microstructure, how do you think a switch to batch auctions would affect the market?
Don't get me wrong, I think its an excellent anecdote. I just shy away from a focus on correctness since in my experience people who prioritize correctness above all else usually make a shambles. I feel that people who prioritize simplicity still understand that it still needs to work more or less correctly.
The part you are missing, like most people who aren't used to exercise and see city planning in a car-centric way, is that a bicycle can go at a serious speed in a city.

Bike lanes in sidewalks work in beaches because bikers tend to drive at a comfortable cruising speed. Daily commuters usually bike in the ~15-25mph range in a city (and a lot faster in suburbs and country roads); that speed is dangerous for pedestrians. You are also disregarding turns and intersections, where it's much more convenient to stop as little as possible.

The solution to bike lanes is physically separated lanes that don't give lazy car drivers free parking space and don't penalize cyclists for traffic, but still allows them to move to the roads when there aren't many cars as in [1].

It looks like it boils down to two things: the proponents say the misinformation on the part of the formula industry needs to be stopped, whereas the opponents claim such a regulation would stigmatize the women who can't breastfeed. Or don't want.

But when you think about it, what you give to the baby is pretty much a private thing. The main people who can "stigmatize" you will be your family, and they can do so for a variety of reasons, not just breastfeeding. I can't imagine a stranger on a street telling a woman she should breastfeed instead of giving the baby a bottle (which may contain her own milk btw). I can't imagine a husband telling such things to his wife. But the mother's mother, or mother-in-law - they could easily say so. So it essentially boils down to whether your family is supportive or not. Preventing Nestle from spreading misinformation is a completely different thing.

You seem to have missed everything the comment you are replying to says.

There is no dispute with the size or amount of compute available on desktops.
No issues like that here. On a Huawei Honor 7x with Android 8.0.0
In 1994, less than 0.1% of computers were running Linux (kernel). Now, it is everywhere.
My experience of this is that 10-15 years ago, when I was a child, my dad would often take us on road trips by car, sometimes arriving home late into the night. (the trips were around Central Europe)

The headlights, windshield and parts of the body were always significantly covered by dead insects.

For the past 5 years or so however, they have almost always been perfectly clean. This has amazed me.
That assumes that we have enough RAM to hold all of the data we could ever want to analyse and that we have this data at startup. Neither of which has ever been the case as far as I have personally experienced.
The OP has:

> You need to have sustained growth to raise a Series A – understand that and you’ll be better off than most startups.

Fine. So, that is the criterion, the "bar", the passing grade, the entrance exam. Good to know. Crucial to know.

Similarly for the "seed round" of, what was it, $1-2 million? Gee, must be a lot of 200 pound "seeds"!!!! I thought a seed round might be $100,000.

But whatever: Whatever the heck the criteria are, VCs, equity funders, YC, JUST SAY SO.

Right, I'm pissed off. Why? Because a founding entrepreneur can look at lots of funding Web sites and read that the firms are interested in breakthrough this, leading edge that, disruptive this other thing, change the world something or other, high tech, break the mold, ... as if those were the criteria. Well, there's strong evidence those are NOT the criteria. So, the breakthrough, etc. are what, teasers to get entrepreneurs to send pitch decks?

"Product market fit"? That "fit" thing, that's like a 42 long men's suit coat? Nope. From all I can see, here are the criteria:

(1) Traction, see below, significantly high and growing rapidly.

(2) Large market, plenty for a company to be worth $1+ billion.

(3) For information technology (IT) funders (bio-medical is different), good use of computing and/or the Internet.

(4) Team that looks good and has a few people, at least some of whom are technical.

Definition: Traction means users and ad revenue, paying customers, or earnings, at least users, hopefully earnings.

As the title of the OP implies, commonly entrepreneurs don't clearly understand what are the criteria of the equity funders. Well, a biggie reason for this lack of understanding is the statements of the equity funders. It will be a HUGE help for the entrepreneurs to know what the criteria really are. Well, for a simple answer, in one word, the criteria boil down to traction significantly high and growing rapidly. As a startup entrepreneur, that information was not easy to discover, apparently was mostly deliberately hidden, but is VERY good to know. Now all know. Good.
I'm one of those people, I love manual transmissions and would never buy a car with an automatic. But, an electric drive is even better, more direct, more immediate. And one pedal driving is awesome.
Thank you for reminding me of this.
India isn't just rich in the general top 1% argument sense. India's upper middle class is quite rich. And more importantly invisible and hides everything. This has been possible largely due to a combination of real estate prices going up due to urbanization, conservative spending and a rich investment driven culture.

The other factor is gold savings. Most families have a large amount of it, and provide good insulation against inflation.

Pretty much bulk of India's middle class got rich in the post 1992 era, when the market were opened up making it easy to do business. The software riches came due to US money flowing in, the salaries were high. And most people got to travel abroad. And given foreign exchange factor most people made a killing till 2005. Back then it was easy to get US visas and work there. The dollar paid 35 rupees a piece and land prices in most Indian metros(especially Bangalore) were quite cheap. People who bought lands anywhere in peripheral Bangalore have seen their wealth increase by crazy factors.

The other factor is again opening up of mass private sector hiring, subsequent growth in economy and the stock market.

And lastly of course, corruption, nepotism and dowry market.
Yes, excellent points. No doubt there is still much room for optimization.
It's not a "fallacy", the problem is real. Check your mental model with reality. Disregard the "if" that your mental model relies on ("if enough people did it it would work") and look at what actually happens, and do so separately for different issues, because they all have different contexts and complexities. If those "if"s that your argument depends on never materialize in the real world then the model you use is useless. "Possible" vs. "likely".
The main argument I’ve come across against this is that text editors commonly put great weight on file names—opening by file name, showing the file name without its containing directory structure or with it harshly abridged (e.g. /h/c/B/p/controllers.py). It would be nice for this to be addressed better in editors, but it is a bit of a tricky matter to handle across varying projects.

Of course, as presented, having lots of files named “posts.py” is also fairly terrible in text editors.

One solution is for the filename to include more, e.g. posts/posts-controllers.py. This helps some tools at the cost of others and greater verbosity.

Show HN: High Tea – Self-Hosted Gitea with Docker, Postgres and Traefik
For automation, I am automating the data engineering portion so yeah, productionalizing models, documenting, version control, etc.

There will be some pre-built models for a business operations person to explore but a data scientist can also build their own model in R and/or Python.

For optimisation, exactly. Looking to guide your dataset exploration to help you find features faster. Summarise the data automatically and in the future, suggest which features may be useful or not while still leaving you as the expert to decide.

For my domain of data science, it will be in the realm of model building. Think of it as more of a workflow tool to sync the data science team together. So the intention is to be tool agnostic.

I’m also looking at reusable datasets that are certified and cleaned by data engineers or other team members as well as pre-cleaned data available for purchase to add to the model (looking to tap into free public open datasets as well)

Hope that helps? Thanks for your comment. I’ll amend my post to make it clearer.
Having access to a debugger when you need it is a necessity. Rampant use of it can, debatably, be seen as a crutch...but if you need it and you don't have it, you're going to have an extremely bad week.
HN users' passion for accurate titles is an unstoppable force, so the object it meets had better be moveable. I learned that the hard way. Title fever is not good for discussion, that's true, but the only way to minimize it is to flex with the objections. I learned that the hard way too.

The interesting question is why. It can't just be about titles; those are too trivial to bring out that kind of emotion.
I doubt that a degree will make you more marketable. But you can learn many things that will advance you way beyond being a .NET web developer.

Unfortunately, recruiters will never tell you why you missed out on a job, so it is extremely hard to determine whether your lack of a degree is the reason for missing out on a job or some other factor.

In my experience, solid experience trumps paper credentials. In companies where that is not the case, you have to ask yourself whether you would even want to work there.

Or, alternately, lay your code out like you'd lay out your workshop.

In our houses we tend to use the same things in the same ways each day. There's just the one razor, keep it next to the shaving cream.

In a workshop, we need to cooperate with other people, and even for ourselves, it's important to be able to find a tool when we need it. All the X-acto blades go in the same drawer, next to the drill bits.

Which one is more like your codebase? If it's a blog, might be the house. I think more code is workshop-like, but YMMV.

It's not an appeal to futility, it's pointing out the reality of the problem.

My marginal impact on the problem is negligible. The issue only manifests itself on a very large scale. Therefore, any solution involving "just stop eating fish" needs to explain a strategy to achieve this change of behavior on a large scale. Note that simply telling people on the Internet to change is not a working strategy - for each individual, again, the impact is marginal, but individual sacrifice required is great, so most people will just shrug and go on with their lives.

Want to make a change? Sure, stop eating fish if you want to signal your commitment. But don't stop at that, because at this point you've achieved nothing. Work to have more impact. Some particular bottom-up and top-down areas I can outline that mesh nicely together:

- Work to make the idea of not eating fish more popular. If you can convince a few hundred thousand people to stop eating fish, then maybe it'll actually show up somewhere on some spreadsheet in a fishing company. Be careful not to become like PETA though - if you're too hard about the topic, people will start eating more fish just out of spite.

- Make it easier for people to stop eating fish. That involves creating and popularizing new foodstuffs that are substitute to fish, but have better ecological footprint.

- The ultimate goal: work towards making the cost of fish products correctly account for externalities. That is, making them (much) more expensive. This involves finding ways to correctly estimate the costs of ecological impact, and then convincing regulators to make fishing industry pay this cost in taxes. Also, you'll want to fight various fishing subsidies that further hide the true costs. You'll make enemies along the way. But this is something that must happen, as it is the real solution. The previous two examples I gave are only supportive to this one. Fish must get more expensive. That's the efficient way of achieving a mass change of behaviour.

Lab-grown fish is going to be a very ecologically sustainable solution hitting the market in the next few years, which will also leave the "poor fishermen" out of work. Like the drivers displaced by autonomous vehicles, I don't think that should stop us from seeking more sustainable and efficient models, instead it should be a wake-up call to our governing class that we need to reexamine our wealth distribution programs.

> It has had pretty much what Apple are implementing since Windows 10.

The last time I checked Windows 10 did not support Dark Mode across all apps, not even its own File Explorer (unlike Finder and almost all other apps and applets that come with macOS Mojave.)

Has that changed? Do many third-party Windows apps support Dark Mode by now?

> Of course like on MacOS developers have to be using the latest UI framework

From what I remember from the WWDC sessions, I think you can choose to target the second-last macOS release (10.13 High Sierra) and still opt-into Dark Mode support on 10.14 Mojave.

> Then again, I don't expect to see much uptake on the Mac side

Pretty much all "heavy editing" apps like Final Cut, Affinity, Pixelmator Pro or even players like VLC use native AppKit and already offer an option for a custom dark mode or the official limited opt-in version that has been available since macOS 10.10 Yosemite.

Since the core issue is about registered domains for natural persons it becomes a bit unclear what administrative and technical contact would mean in the context of this lawsuit. Most registries that I have to work with do not use those fields or have hijacked those for their own local purpose (such as local presence). ICANN however only accredit registrars for a few of the generic TLDs so there doesn't seem to be any meaningful reason to have administrative and technical contact for natural persons. Those that do fill in those fields anyway usually just copy the data from the registrant fields, or put the registrar data in as administrative and/or technical contact. Neither adds anything meaningful to whois.

When the registrant is a company it make sense to have admin and technical contact but then good practice for the last decade is to not have natural persons in those fields. If John Doe leaves the company then its a major pain to change contact information for 100+ domains, so from a pure practical reason it is better to have a company, role and the company address in the fields (except when local policy for each of the country code top-level domain demand something else). That information is naturally not protected by GDPR.
