A long time ago, when I tried something like that, I was stymied because the SSH server did not have permissions to write to any directory which the document readers etc. could see.

Is this sort of thing still a problem? How did you get around it?

Nice move YC. I know Qi is highly regarded by Chinese students. He seems like a corporate vs startup guy though, so while I trust he has great access to talent and connections in industry and Govt, I'm not sure he's the best person to mentor a scrappy startup. Hope he has a good support cast.
Does this have anything to do with http://bearssl.org/ ?
It was never an issue for me. Giving the SimpleSSHD docs a quick glance, the app itself does not operate as root, although its packaged subcomponents like rsync optionally can depending on what shell you point them to.

My phone isn't rooted. Everything in /storage/emulated/0 backs up without issue. Obviously not a full system backup, but all my data none the less.

With regards to write permission, I've only ever issued any writes to my image folders to prune photos or screenshots older than xx days that have already been backed up. On that note, freeing up 20GB of space instantly with a single command is incredibly satisfying (compared to the MTP hell alternative).
Hey, I just posted this in another thread, but here's what has helped me a lot with mental health having just been through a rough time in case you find it useful...

- Exercise, exercise, exercise.

- Sleep quality. Look at all the sleep tips out there and make sure you are getting good sleep.

- Meditate (Headspace app, Calm app, Insight Timer, Oak)

- Improved diet, no caffiene, very little alcohol (one drink if out with people)

- Socialise more. Make sure to check in with friends in person and on the phone regularly. Social media doesn't count.

- Try new things, go new places. Meetup.com is great.

- Learn controlled breathing to help when tense. The 4-7-8 breathing when done properly and for 8 good breathes helps me a lot. Be sure to breathe with your stomach (diaphragm breathing) not your chest.

- I took up brazilian jiu-jitsu which has been awesome, ticks a lot of the above boxes for me.

- Look at Maslow's heirarchy of needs. Start at the bottom and start working on improvements for each thing. The world is great with lots of opportunity. If your feeling bad your first port of call is to look at what things your brain and body needs that you aren't getting right now and take action.

- Go and see your doctor and a therapist and talk it out with someone. It helps a lot just to talk about it. See if there's an undiagnosed condition contributing to things. Don't face this alone, there's no need to do that and there's lots of support and services out there.

- The Youper app is pretty good.
By that logic you could affect the spending numbers by charging military spouses rent and making up for it with daycare pay to compensate them for watching their kids. It's just a difference in accounting.
I find this surprising.

A group of panels, install costs, wiring, an inverter, is less expensive than the alternative?
To be fair though, there are lots of irresponsible pedestrians. People buried in their phones paying attention to nothing. Stepping into the road, ignoring crossing signals, taking up an entire sidewalk while walking in a group of three. People want to regulate the hell out of scooters, yet some lady with a dog on a long leash can pretty much do whatever she or or dog wants. If San Francisco denizens care so much about sidewalk etiquette, then I suggest prohibiting people from camping and shooting up and shitting on those sidewalks. That’s a bigger danger than anything I’ve faced as a pediatrian sharing space with Lime or Bird.
IMO, most of these are very ill-posed questions. The questions are:

1. P = NP?

2. What is computable?

3. What is intelligence?

4. What is information?

5. (How) can we build complex systems simply?

Except for the first question, there is no way to determine if any given answer is an acceptable answer. The 2,3,4 are asking for definition and you can provide anything arbitrary suits your needs at hand or mood at the time. The question has no clear constraint on which answer is admissible.

I'd say this article is perfect example of how not to pose questions! Asking a good question is a lot of hard work and author simply hasn't done the homework here. A great example of asking good question is, of course, Hilbert's 23 questions. He had to survey the field deep and wide and craft each question such that answer can be verified, if one was ever proposed.
That is one of the best ideas I have heard on healthcare so far. I wonder which company that is.

One thing I would add to that plan is to provide free annual/biannual preventive health checkups.

The incentive shouldn’t be so much that consumers stop going to a doctor at all.
They have the best publicized tech. There are a lot more players in the space that don’t paint logos on the sides of their cars.
And Japan did Pearl Harbour, so what? The idea that you apply sanctions for historical reasons is absurd. Further, the US actually tried to invade Cuba (but of course Cuba has no right to feel threatened by the US...)
I used to work at the JGI[1]. As we were technically part of the DOE, we were occasionally accused of being a "bioweapon lab" and other evidence-free conspiracy theories. We were a high-throughput sequencing lab; experimental research and development of anything was well outside our capabilities. (almost all of or lab space was related to keeping our (Sanger) sequencers running nonstop) Most of the staff thought idea that we were making bioweapons was hilariously misinformed.

Well, some of us stopped laughing when we accidentally created a "superbug". We used a lot of agar plates to clone DNA plasmids with E. coli. The plates were filled by hand at an agar dispenser, which resulted in a very small amount of splashing of agar onto the counter next to the dispenser. This was carefully cleaned every day, but.... nobody remember to clean underneath the dispenser* where an imperceptibly small amount of indirectly splashed agar started to accumulate. This agar had ampicillin in it to stop other bacteria from growing.

Eventually, this repeated depositing of bacterial growth medium and an antibiotic created a particularly nasty resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus. The person that eventually discovered the problem and cleaned up the agar underneath the dispenser ended up hospitalized on an IV of one of the "antibiotics of last resort".

Are kids or terrorists going to use CRISPR or other genetic engineering tools to intentionally create their own weaponized superbug? That seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. Are they going to accidentally create a superbug that was just as damaging? Yes, they absolutely will, because I've already seen it happen with people that did have the necessary training sand expertise[2].

[2] No offense intended to the good people at the JGI! This was a very human mistake that the lab learned from; changes were implemented immediately to prevent this type of problem from ever happening again.

[*] Speaking of problems at that lab, we were fined (correctly) by OSHA for storing the H2O2 alphabetically,,, next to hydrazine.

Actually, some of the top notch, well funded production companies tried to make it work. They knew how to make it work.

Was it Wicked(?) (one of the big name, well experienced, well funded companies) that tried to make all their hired performers wear protection, even married couples.

They had top notch good looking talent, professional camera people, great lighting, costumes, everything.

I think they made some money from the HBO type cable channels buying the 'camera does not show the actual penetration' market, but not enough to continue the condoms only crusade that was attempted, from what I remember. Maybe there is a crew still making condoms only porn, but I have not see much of it.

The free market shows what most people are looking for, and from what I can tell, they aren't choosing the 'all condom' channel, even when it's free on the free sites.

Doing business in China is unethical.
YC's got a very, very fine line to tread if they're serious about China - with its limits on human rights and authoritarian tendencies, the Chinese government is absolutely not to be trusted. I worry about what sort of concessions tech companies have made and will make to gain access to the Chinese market.
> One would be hard pressed to find a single priced good or service on this planet that doesn't respond to energy prices.

You don't have to look further than Bitcoin. The cost of producing Bitcoin is primarily the cost of wasted energy - how much energy should be wasted is determined algorithmically. Too low and you get arbitrage opportunities; too high and people stop mining.

Bitcoin pricing is not at all related to energy prices in the middle-to-long-run.

Algorithms and data structures are 1-3 classes out of ~45.
I don't know why people think this. In the specific example of country, in fact I _have_ tested using a country class with hard coded maps of country codes to arrays of data. Even so, benchmarking showed the single database call with a join (MySQL 5.1 or 5.5 I think) to be faster as I was already hitting the database anyway.

Don't prematurely optimize away your database's flexibility (managed content) before testing a properly-coded query.
I have it as a rule to stay away from companies that position themselves as "We 're like a family". Yes this company is exactly like a family where dad keeps all the money, gets to beat us up, or put us up for adoption if he loves the other kids more.
I think that point of view is fine on an individual level. For people who like to live a minimalist lifestyle and don't want to be tied down to a location or want to be able to pack up and move easily, or just plain hate clutter and don't find enough personal value in owning these things that's fine (although you can store a lot on a single external hard drive nowadays).

But I don't think this is a good idea for the world to become like this as a whole. The more things are centralized (stream from one server as opposed to living in a bunch of locations all over the world), the easier it is for parts of our culture to disappear.

The artifacts we find from thousands of years ago are a super tiny handful of many, many, many more that existed (perhaps not exact copies, but the same types of things), and we have lost who knows how knowledge and cultural artifacts from the past, in particular the ancient past, due to things like libraries and museums getting burned down or destroyed, statues being removed, massive wars fought, etc.

Even in our own lifetimes there have been the Taliban that have destroyed ancient Buddhist statues in Afghanistan[1], ISIS destroying artifacts in Iraq museums[2], and looters destroying or stealing artifacts from a Cairo museum while the Arab Spring was underway[3]. Along with many, many other examples[4].

We collectively have the capability to have exact or near-exact copies of all sorts of documents, art, video, audio, etc. The more people that hang on to these things, the more future generations benefit from it. And the more we can benefit from the archival actions of others now.

But again, it doesn't require that everyone do it, or even for each person to try to have a copy of literally everything that exists. Just that enough people own copies of the things they love and share them with people as much as they can, helps insure the survival of our cultural heritage.

BTW, I found an interesting site that chronicles all the various types of media that are known to have existed but are now lost. It's called LostMediaWiki, if you're curious. I was surprised how long the list was just for video games, which aren't that old as a medium.

We put a pricing search engine in Lab Spend[1] so researchers can easily get an idea of what they should be paying.

> I've learned my lesson: do not pay more in an attempt to get quality, because you'll just pay more for the same old junk.

I don't agree. I think you can still buy quality things.
The problem is that the market pushed the prices so low for "good enough" products, that it's difficult to justify paying much more. In the case of refrigerators, you'd have to pay at least three times more for a Sub-Zero fridge, for example.
Since iOS 9 it continuously backs up to iCloud by default [1] so it's not true that it doesn't help someone who never set up iCloud.

As an iPhone and Macbook user I agree with you that repairability is an issue. To be honest it is something I am taking seriously in my next laptop purchase and might be the issue that tips me back over to PC/Android. I definitely will not be "upgrading" to the new touchbar, keyboard and trackpad.

Thank you for the story, I find this fascinating! I’m really surprised how easy it was to accidentally grow this. Is this a 1/(very high number) chance occurrence or is it a somewhat normal happening if proper steps aren’t taken to clean?
today new devs, picking up a 10-30yr old system: this is garbage, we have to recompile under the new 4.0 kernel just to be able to run it on new servers and nobody know how to read a makefile! lets rebuild with containers!

tomorrow new devs, picking up a 5yr old project: this is downloading a centOS build from 7yrs ago! which only run on docker from 5yrs ago! and nobody know how to build a new base image with the libraries the old one have! lets rebuild it in <whatever snake oil they have in 5yrs from now>

the problem is not serverless or not, its clueless people and corporations with code/process rot. and the only lesson from the cycle, is to never trust people who proclaim one solution is the holy grail for all problems.

Qi was actually one of the better SVPs at Microsoft, I think he was even on the list for the CEO spot that Satya got.

He was given an almost impossible task in competing with Google basically from scratch. Ya, he didn't completely succeed, but that isn't very surprising.

What happened at the end, I'm not really sure. I was pretty surprised when I heard he was gone with Harry Shum taking over most of what he was in charge of.

I think you're applying the words "tyranny" and "coercion" very sloppily here, and seem rather dismissive of community as it's existed prior to "real community".

I don't see anything you've stated as mutually exclusive to the previous comment.

I point out what I perceive as dismissive because I think there are important aspects of human character that 'tyrannical' circumstances help to shape, enabling us to learn patience and tolerance of opposing views.

It's how we ultimately achieve error correction in culture and progress as a society, and it's not clear to me that an option for people to utterly extinguish all of that from one's environment is an upgrade.

Large consulting firms do not have those drawbacks.
It's not really inferiority: the commonality of the other countries is that they typically follow a different regime of negotiation of the road. In specific, the USA and other anglophone countries are extremely strict about what motions are allowed on the road: the expectation is that everyone stays precisely within the lanes and drives a bit robotically.

This, however, is actually not that common in most of the world, where the road is much more 'negotiated': speeds are slower but the streets more chaotic. I wonder sometimes if it's more like treating the vehicles as horses rather than boxes of death, or something similar: it's a markedly different mode.

I imagine his point is that self-driving cars rely on the robotic driving customs of parts of the West to do as well as they do, and that he's skeptical of these vehicles' ability to interact with more dynamic streetscapes filled with e-scooters, rickshaws, tuk-tuks, people carrying stuff, and so on.

> So if you use the device incorrectly, it doesn't work?

[EDIT: Apparently iCloud backups are enabled by default since iOS 9. TIL.]

iCloud is optional, is it not? The last time I used an iDevice (maybe 6 years ago) I didn't set up iCloud and I don't remember being forced to use it -- has that changed? If it is still optional, then I don't see how not using iCloud is "using the device incorrectly". Is this the new "you're holding it wrong"? Or "you should've bought AppleCare"?

Of course people should have backups, but I'd like to see you tell someone they should've known better when they've potentially lost their child's baby photos, or photos of their recently-deceased child. I'm not sure you'd be capable of being so callous in that sort of situation.

> How exactly is Android better if whatever you happen to need is stored on the device and not an SD card?

With most Android phones (such as Samsung ones) you can desolder the flash chip from the device and solder it onto a known-working board (or place it in a device that acts as a known-good board -- those devices can be bought from China relatively cheaply).

With iPhones you cannot do this because the data is encrypted and paired with the CPU (and a few other components on the board are paired to the CPU like the SMC). Now, you could reasonably argue that this is for security, but you couldn't argue that this is not anti-repair.

In addition, the new Macbooks have their soldered-in SSDs paired to the CPU as well. So you can't do data recovery on those without fixing the board (and apparently on those devices if a single USB-C controller dies, all of the USB-C ports die -- so you have to bring the board back to a completely working state in order to do data recovery).

Doing business with the Chinese government is unethical. Doing business with Chinese entrepreneurs and providing services to the Chinese people is a humanitarian imperative.

Without going to far into the political weeds, the US has never delivered freedom effectively at the end of a gun, but rather through McDonalds and Coca Cola.
I'm betting that they will be using Chinese capital for Chinese start-ups, so there won't be any weird foreign registration requirement. It makes more sense because China still has a lot of money sloshing around looking for something to do, and YC China will look appealing in that regard, so no FDI will be needed.

But that is just a guess by an amateur, we have to wait to see how this turns out.
Growing a resistant strain was more or less guaranteed, because we were effectively creating the ideal evolutionary pressure: an ideal growing medium that strongly favors any additional resistance to ampicillin. It's the same as why doctors remind you to finish any prescription of antibiotics even if you feel better early. It's basic survival of the fittest, where we're strongly defining what "fittest" means.
