For sure. It’s not a black and white topic.

This is an interesting topic for me as I find myself asking similar questions about my role at a company I founded.

I founded a company currently valued in the low-mid 8 digits. I successfully brought the company through an acquisition and have doubled revenues since.

I keep coming back to an article I read on HN years ago talking about the 4 types of CEOs: founder, growth, maintenance, death (bankruptcy). While I’ve found success in 1 and 2, I don’t enjoy 2 as much as 1 and I don’t think I’d be any good at 3 or 4.

I’m probably experiencing a form of imposter syndrome as the board & leadership are all satisfied with my performance, but the thoughts still linger.
Go is the new darling child, and once wasm is in Chrome, it's going to get very big, very fast. And if they manage to polyfill to regular js (assuming that's still the plan - I haven't kept up), that's the end game maneuver.

For front-end, well, TypeScript 3.0 just came out...

lines are quite blurred.

They aren't. The lines between a professional conspiracy- and snake-oil-monger, a person whose friendship with Nazis made them lose a job offer and a person against whom a targeted smear campaign failed are not at all blurred. These things are not closely related and piling Roseanne Barr on to this blob of amorphous grievance-gunk just makes it more sealion-shaped and sealion-sized. It's not a good HN topic - polite flamebaiting is still flamebaiting.
> Is this an instance where the government should follow the maxim from Contact: "Why build one, when you can build two for twice the cost?"

The maxim in Contact was different - "Why build one, when you can build two, but keep the second one secret", right?

I do hope JWT could be recreated cheaper than costs to create it in the first place. No matter though, we'll still need other space telescopes anyway, so both reliability and price to orbit are important.
Facebook said it wouldn’t use the bank data for ad-targeting purposes or share it with third parties.

“We don’t use purchase data from banks or credit card companies for ads,” said spokeswoman Elisabeth Diana. “We also don’t have special relationships, partnerships, or contracts with banks or credit-card companies to use their customers’ purchase data for ads.”

How do journalists expect me to interpret this? The first sentence says Facebook made a promise, and the second paragraph reads like a supporting quote. The quote doesn't make the promise claimed in the first paragraph. Should I assume that a Facebook representative made the promise, but the actual quote got cut. Or should I assume that three different authors can't critically read a sentence to tell that the quote only makes statements about current practices? Why do we accept articles from major outlets without publishing the full text of the interview with Facebook?

There was a time when most people had dial-up Internet access but owned or had access to recordable CD drives and USB flash drives. Many of us had high-capacity (for the day) removable media like the ZIP-100, Zip-250, SyQuest drives, or IOMega Super120. Even with 6 or 10 Mbps DSL it was sometimes faster to take a box full of disks or pull a couple drives from a system and drive them to a friend's or colleague's place to exchange a large amount of data. Sending CDs or Zip disks via UPS or FedEx was a thing for a long time in the design and custom printing industries. Before all of that, there were floppy disks.

A political believe, even if violent in nature, is not the same as committing rape.

It's not comparable since the one describes something you believe and the other something you have done.

Rape comparisons should not be used as discussion jokers to win an argument.

Pre-ordering a product that hasn't been reviewed and benchmarked means you could get something much worse than you expect. For example, there may be apps that can't take advantage of 32 cores so you could spend $1,800 to get no benefit.
Depends on the arithmetic intensity. Higher intensity means less memory bandwidth needed to keep the cores happily crunching.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't have Linux (only WSL but I doubt that would really compare since I don't use the GUI environments avilable), so I don't know whether upgrading like this will be safe. I'd personally wait until they the repository developers bring it in, since there's no guarantee of what might happen.

1. They are.

2. The US definitely needs more highly qualified skilled workers, and pretty much anyone to just keep the population where it is as a birth rate of 1.84 children per couple is below replenishment rate.

As for birthright citizenship, I agree, it's not a necessary part of a fair and reasonable immigration system. It's really only a new-world concept and it's declining in the new world too. Australia had and then rolled it back. I'm neutral on this. Obviously I don't think it should be taken away from anyone who already has it, that's a dangerous line to tow, but I wouldn't be opposed to birthright permanent residency with a path to citizenship should the individual choose to immigrate on their own, or of course if they'd otherwise be left stateless.

Hong Kong for instance doesn't afford citizenship to anyone not ethnically Chinese meaning HKIDs are the end of the road for anyone not Chinese.
I have long believed that the real solution to Boston's housing crunch is high speed transit to Worcester, Fall River, Lowell, New Bedford etc.

Build HSR out to these areas and drop in lower cost high density density housing. Essentially use these old mill towns as Boston's Brooklyn -as none of the closer in cities are willing to take on the role.
I'd just like to point out that back in the 60s there was this physical neural network called the Perceptron. Yeah, like the ones you learn about. However, it was a patchpanel machine (the wires were the neurons) with weights that were implemented as potentiometer knowbs attached to little servos. It could do backprop (IIRC it was a single layer) and basic image recognition.

Some days I feel like neural network hardware is the new laser: at one point, nobody thought it could exist, but once one was made, new designs started to fall out of the woodwork. Like gravitational lenses, there are actually "galactic laser foundries" that generate lasers purely out of stellar physics.
Yeah do Comic Sans.
Sure, that is par for the course... normally. But I've never been told. "Don't upgrade from version X to version Y" before, which is why I am asking if I need to do something different this time. (ie, not wait for distro update, because none will be coming...??)

People have to take action and opt in to watching something on YouTube. They have a choice. If people don't want to hear someone they never have to.

Youtube doesn't provide the means for publishers to interrupt what you are currently watching (well there's ads but that's a bit different as ads have increase scrutiny).
Doing it this way is also more secure, since it means you don't have to give your web server unrestricted write access to every DNS record under your domain.

Your summary of a natural monopoly is at odds with the definition in the wikipedia article you linked.
>> Image processing and robotics controls are largely solved

Image processing and robotic control are very far from being solved problems. I guess you are saying that in the case of alpha go it would not be a super difficult step to have a camera and robotic hand physically move pieces around, and that's probably true. But I think in the DOTA case are new image processing challenges that interact with the AI in interesting ways.

I'm mostly talking about the need to move the game's camera around to gain more information. If you don't see your ally on your screen and need to see how they are handling a gank or something (full disclosure I don't play DOTA at all this could be a silly scenario). Then the AI would have to recognize this and move the camera to the allies location in order to gain that information. So really the novelty here would be in the network to somehow realize what information it needs and then further to learn how to gather that information. I honestly think that sounds like an extremely difficult next step.
Samsung is the only real competition to Apple right now. As much as Google wishes it can say it controls android it barely has a grip on it. Samsung has carefully de googled most of it's phones and created it's own line of tizen products running a much lighter OS. Nobody can honestly look at samsung in current year and not be impressed by their computing platforms and chip quality.

Hands down if I want an OLED phone the panel isn't coming from LG.

This is about providing a platform to someone who willfully spreads lies.

Those aren't orthogonal. They seem to both be true in this case (what "it is about" is subjective).
Wonder if the economics may change if stricter laws were implemented to help with climate change. It's crazy I know, but maybe in future that could end up forcing heavy industry off Earth and onto places/planets/asteroids/whatever where no one needs to care about the environment.

Hey dang, haven't heard back from you. Was just wondering on your opinion on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17700387

You can disable PSP on some motherboards AFAIK. My motherboard has an option that at least seems like it disables PSP.

Yup. If was a little "side project" by their team in Haifa that turned out much better than expected. So the Israelis saved Intel. (Dramatization mine)
This is covered in the linked article - they were really interested in higher performance, among other things - both in implementation (zero copy, etc) and features (0-RTT).
I think it just comes down to the fact that discrete action spaces are easier to work with for most RL frameworks (not sure what exactly open AI is using here though).
I wrote a ton of IRC war bots and scripts back when I was a teenager including something called the "Sumo nick collider" and the textbox.irc script. The latter was a general client enhancement script but had tons of extensions for "war."

For you spring chickens "war" was exploiting the IRC protocol to take over channels, kill users, etc. The protocol was pretty vanilla back then and was vulnerable to a lot of those things. This was back in the 1990s.

This included inventing "DCC RAW" based "clonebot" code in the old Unix ircII client. I figured out you could just open a socket with the client so you could write a simple client script to create huge numbers of sock puppets. I'm not 100% sure but I think I was the first one to do this.

I learned a lot from that stuff but these days I wouldn't wreck a public volunteer chat network.

https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/tb-planning/2018-May/0060... says "Manual updates of 60.0 will be the initial update mode, as we often
do for a new release, because of the breadth of fixes and improvements. Manual-only updates (and updates via downloads) allows us to do a slow
rollout to users, to get more user feedback than is possible during the beta period. Automatic updates will be enabled when we are satisfied
that we have sufficient numbers of users and a sufficient level of quality - a process that typically takes some weeks."

With a monolithic die that lower bound is not linear though: the bigger the die, the higher a chance of defects and the rarer the parts that don't need to have sections fused off.

With a modular design the lower bound is, indeed, linear, allowing AMD to severely undercut Intel.

Haven't tried with the wildcard certs yet but I've been using lego + Cloudflare as the DNS challenge provider with no issue. Works very nicely and it's scripted to automatically renew every 60 days.

Now, it would be great if Cloudflare supported LE integration at it's free tier (replacing the Cloudflare wildcard cert).
I've been to two AWS Summits (Stockholm) and most if not all AWS employees explicitly point out that you should never use the console for anything serious. It might be good for presentations, but it's horrible when you need to manage infrastructure.
Yeah, and it's a crap customer experience imo. You're lured in with an attractive starting offer only for the company to change the deal after you've signed up. Maybe im just being overly optimistic in thinking it'd be nice if companies would just sell me their product/service at some sustainable, relatively stable rate?

It happens a lot with car insurance companies in the UK. They start you off with a low quote for your first year then when the renewal comes around suddenly the price doubles. Then you phone them up, tell them about how you found another quote for half the price and magically they can halve the renewal quote they gave you just last week.
Yeah the difference you see between the banks that actually give good rates and not is amazing.

Ally is offering 1.80% on savings right now. Wells fargo is offering at most 0.15%.

Wells Fargo has obviously done the math and realized that their customers simply do not care to switch accounts even though the interest they offer is abyssmal. Pretty weird stuff. As rates rise slowly it will be interesting to see whether the frogs finally get hot enough to jump out of the pan and abandon wells fargo, forcing them to raise rates.

This is basically the issue with the internet as it stands now. There is no space outside of the control of a company that might wish to protect their reputation at your expense, meaning that anything unpopular enough can be de facto banned by no one ever hosting it.

> desperate attempts to differentiate itself from other Android handset OEMs

yes. i can see it that way.

OTOH, I can also see this as the natural tension between Google's desire to force uniformity onto the entire Android ecosystem (good for consumers who want to switch between different handsets with less friction/confusion), and the handset maker's desire to prevent Google from controlling the Android user experience completely (good for consumers who don't want to be totally trapped in Google's vision and Google's service offerings.)
This comment makes several errors, the most severe of which is the category error of thinking Alex Jones, et. al. are about discussion and dialogue. He is not. He and his ilk are about weaponizing the norms of society to destroy society. They are at war, not having a discussion.

It is a fatal error to misunderstand this as a norms vs views issue. It is not. It is war.

We all know the problem with unregulated banking. And there is a market in broadcasting in the UK, the BBC doesn't stop that.

How exactly can the state force change?
Because it's backed by public money, so there are laws surrounding its use. The BBC isn't some corporation set up on a whim, great thought went into the system, including the charter. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/governance/regulatory_framewo...

Everyone with a television or radio has to pay the license fee even if they don't watch it

This more than anything suggests you don't actually know what you're talking about. The license fee is only for watching OTA broadcasts and certain situations with iPlayer. I don't pay for my flatscreen TV that I only use to watch Netflix, youtube etc. And it's a !TV! license fee, not radio, you don't need a license to listen to radio.

I'm sure there are more comprehensive videos, but it's kind of exhausting to even look through his material since he does this for several hours every day all year round. Alex Jones himself probably produces 100+ hours of audio and video a month of just him ranting. He also has other people now who do the same thing. The amount of content that they actually create is pretty incredible. And when he really steps over the line and directly threatens someone he then removes the video and backtracks. It just happens over and over and over again.
