I understand your argument and have heard it first-hand, but from my standpoint (a felon working in IT) I usually push for a workable and sensible security posture because I do not want any more access than I need.

A non-felon might not share my (perhaps) paranoid view, but I have a family now and need to pointedly avoid any possible controversy or scandal especially related to security and access. To that end, I feel the need to push for sensible and workable solutions.

Startup School Advisor Track: You Are In
Can anyone add any information on what the "Advisor Track" is for Startup School? I was just accepted, but I only see Founder Track in past applications, so not sure what Advisor Track means or the differenct if any.

Thanks!

It's too bad global warming doesn't exist. It would be better to teach kids how to program, instead of having them experience a communist fantasy. Yikes.
Sure, it's fine for them to be market makers, if they're transparent about it.
We also got rejected, from my experience it’s pretty pointless to ask for feedback as well as we applied several times in the past (to YC) and never got anything beyond “sorry just try again”. I mean that’s fine and they don’t owe us an explanation, I will just not apply again as it seems to be a waste of time and without useful feedback there’s not much I/we can learn from this. This time we were even explicitly asked to apply as we were a “promising candidate” with our YC application, which probably was just another mass e-mailing though.

Looking at the current batches it’s pretty difficult to say what exactly they’re looking for, as there are some ideas that I consider quite reasonable and others that seem completely ridiculous to me.

In general I get the (personal) impression that most of their grandiose talk changing the world is just marketing, in the end it’s just about what has a good chance to make decent money.

Sorry this is probably the disappointment speaking but my impression is that we’re mostly building unnecessary garbage and diversions while the real problems don’t get tackled. Just my 2 Cents anyway, good luck getting in next time :)

you are still running afoul of the law

The point is that you are not necessarily running afoul of the law by excluding zip codes in the absence of other evidence that you intended to discriminate. Excluding poor neighborhoods from seeing a $10 million home listing is common sense, not discrimination.
Payroll tax withholding problems are the scary story adult founders tell younger founders to keep them up at night. Every group of operator friends I have has a collection of stories about this. Get an accountant before you hire your first W2 employee, and use a payroll service.

Just the idea of trying to operate as a director/partner at a startup without an accountant gives me the willies. It's mindboggling to think people actually wing it past the point where they're making payroll.
Possibly it's been changed since then. I've some friends on tumblr but after a while I've just given up on going to any tumblr link because reading it became annoying.
I mean I cannot link you to a direct source, it was just something everyone knew, ya know 'common knowledge'. This was on both coasts as well as the midwest.

And it was explained to me at 3 different clinics in 3 different areas of the country that it was really about #1) liability -- particularly at clinics that accepted insurance for payment but not exclusively, there were cash-only ones with the same rule: No Benzos full-stop. If you had a legit prescription for xanax or ativan then they would send a letter to the prescribing doctor and would not dose you until they got an affirmative, positive response -- and to a somewhat lesser extent #2) they know it has the real potential to be fatal, and they're not monsters they don't want to kill all the junkies. Despite what you might think, some of them actually do give a shit and got into substance abuse medicine trying to help. Sure, for some it's just a job, and if you own the clinic it's a gold-shitting goose, but there are a lot of them who are genuinely trying to do good.
I know I've over simplified this for myself. But the way that I look at it is like so.

.Net Standard is an "Interface" - No implementation behind the scenes just a list of apis.

.Net Framework, .Net Core, Xamarin are all "classes" or implementations of .Net Standard.

ASP.NET Core only relies on .NET standard which is implemented by both .Net Framework and .Net Core. Which means it can run on both.

ASP.NET (Framework) does not rely on .Net Standard but directly links to the implementation of .Net Framework. Which means those libraries can't run anywhere and are instead limited to only .NET Framework.

I'm no Jon Skeet, or tech guru. So please take this explanation with a grain of salt and if I'm wrong correct me as needed. This is just how I've wrapped my head around it.
It depends. If you use the NDK you have to make sure you can build for both x86 and ARM (the play store will hand out the relevant variant silently).

Also, Google have done some serious work to ensure at least some backwards compatibility (and providing a support library, that i fail to recall the exact name of, for backporting various functionality).

While the FOSS world seems to lean on "compile it" along with "lacking resources" as an excuse for not maintaining anything more than incidental compatibility across releases.
Not necessarily. YC isn't exactly a non-profit, and having the opportunity to take stronger opportunities to market is probably pretty exciting for them.
If you want to build an SPA, their boilerplate[0] for it is also excellent and supports several (angular, react, react-redux... unfortunately they deprecated Vue support [1] because it was great, but that's easy to bootstrap from react starter) and they even support server-side prerendering with a sidecar

> Currently, a tree growth will instantly reduce CO2 levels so players can commercially farm trees while still reducing emissions. This is not ideal.

This sounds right to me. Having trees which keep reducing carbon levels without any effort would mean that low levels of burning have no effect on CO2.

It's as if a unit of wood was gathering ever more and more carbon, but only released a fraction upon burning.

Can somebody explain whether this can still lead to criminal prosecution?

As I recall from the Theranos stuff - the SEC reached a similar settlement with Elizabeth quickly [1]. My understanding is that they want to protect the markets and get bad actors banned without years of trials. But then, the DOJ came in filed separate charges that will likely take much longer to prosecute, but have the potential for more severe punishment such as prison term.

So - is this a sign that more significant trouble is coming for Rothenberg?

In addition to the annual parallax of the star being measured, you also need the diameter of the Earth's orbit, which was also first measured by parallax (together with Kepler's laws, giving the ratio of planets' orbital sizes from their periods): When Mars came close to Earth in 1672, simultaneous observations by Giovanni Cassini (in Paris) and Jean Richer (in French Guiana), comparing where Mars appeared relative to background stars, yielded a value of an astronomical unit that was about 7% higher than the modern value. [1]

Subsequent measurements of the dual transits of Venus in 1761 and 1769 refined the figure (Lalande, 1771), again using parallax, in a method proposed by Halley. Current measurements are based on radar.

The post you are replying to said:

Hire a recruiting company. There are recruiting companies that have a staff of full time consultants that will bring in a whole development team and manage the product.

You are replying to a scenario that is just the opposite of my suggestion. The client company is not hiring developers at all. They are contracting out with the consulting company to manage the entire project. The founder is working with a project manager who is employed with the consulting company to develop a product. The recruiting company is doing all of the project management, development, QA, etc. The founder is hopefully coming up with acceptance criteria for the product since it was his idea.

After the project gets off the ground, then the recruiting/consulting company works with the client to develop in house expertise starting with finding a dev manager who hopefully understands the business and the technical and the dev manager works with recruiters to staff up.

You’re not hiring anyone at first. You’re basically outsourcing the entire development project to an outside agency. If you are a non technical founder, this may be the best way to go.

There is a local recruiting/consulting company that has been trying to get me to come work for them directly full time in the role of team lead, I just can’t do the travel right now.

If you are an employee of a startup, please make sure to check on ssa.gov to make sure they are receiving your payroll taxes. Because if the startup isn't paying them, and they go bust, this will reduce your social security income at retirement time.

I don't know if there is a way to get up to date info, but you can at least catch it after year end. And if you do find a dependency, bringing it up early to your employer could end up saving them too.
They would exist until the first C&D letter.

I would rather have Intel redistribute their firmware in easy-to-install packages, trusted and verifiable, if they, for some reason, cannot trust distros package it.

Doing a firmware update from a random untrusted source is an invitation to have a hard-to-detect exploit added to your system.

> I've pretty much given up on the justice system

The SEC can't bring criminal charges. They levy fines, usually limited to repaying the money one stole plus their administrative expenses, ban people from the industry and refer cases for criminal prosecution. Their point is to stop damage, not necessary punish it.

The criminal process is more selective about what it attacks. It's where justice is delivered. As a result of due process, it's also much slower.

I remember similar complaints in the months between the civil penalties for Holmes et al and the announcement of criminal charges. These things take time. Sometimes, the bar for criminality isn't met. That said, the most damaging parts of this to Rothenberg are (a) the bad publicity and (b) being barred from the industry. The latter is probably much worse than $7 million.

Do you have a link of one of these raytracing companies explaining how they plan to use NVidia's RTX cards for this sort of thing?

As far as I'm aware, the only API to access these RTX raytracing cores is through the DirectX12 Raytracing API. I did a quick check on Khronos, but it doesn't seem like they have anything ready for OpenGL or Vulkan.

Alternatively, maybe NVidia is opening up a new Raytracing API to access the hardware. But I didn't see any information on that either.

EDIT: It seems like NVidia does have a specialized Raytracing API that various industry partners have announced support of: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2018/08/13/turing-industry-sup...
My view on Hume is that his philosophy was a version of Pragmatism. I mention this because he is generally seen by analytic philosophers as some sort of materialist or radical skeptic.
Your choice. If you feel it's not holding you back then go for it.

IMO, pot is great when you're stuck in a situation in life which you can't escape for other factors. It can make a bad situation tolerable.

IME, pot increases your tactical thinking skills while reducing your strategic thinking ability. For instance, I spent years as a programmer doing well in my job while I was high all the time. It was great during the early phase of my career when people didn't expect much out of me, other than solving a list of bugs/defects or hacking my way through things. When I 'woke up' in my 40s, I realized I failed to grow in ways that were necessary for me to advance as both a programmer and a person. Now that I have spent some time sober, I really see what it enabled me to do to myself(or not do).

If you haven't taken a 6 month break I highly encourage it. If it seems difficult I hope you are honest with yourself to the point where you realize the hold it has on you. I spent 15 years nearly constantly high. I always told myself I could quit and never managed to go more than a few days sober. I always told myself that I just didn't want to stop, but I could if I really wanted to. It wasn't until I really tried to quit that I knew the kind of hold it had on me.

I think a lot of us in the tech industry can get away with a lot of bad behavior for quite a while. Showing up late, or stoned, or both... Not pushing the boundaries but just getting by... A lot of us can do that and still be considered 'rock stars' by the people around us, but therein lies a danger.

I'm not saying you can't smoke pot regularly and be successful. There are always exceptions and people with enough willpower to make it happen. They are the minority in the people I've encountered in life, however.
I got somewhere between stage 2 and 3 and had to try reading the YAML spec and figuring out the YAML libraries.

It's a mess... it has enough "features" it's a security hole, and you wind up porting a parser / serializer to every platform you want to use it on.
How about the free newspapers in the underground? They serve ads but don’t track you.
User friendliness is a smokescreen, it is about being upstream friendly. This in that now you get the kitchen sink of dependencies on each install rather than them actually having to care about API stability (not that they did much in the past).

This because they do not want to admit that distros being slow with rolling out new releases of their software, is because of the dependency tangles that they have created for distro maintainers.
Well, one audience is obvious from your own sentence: people who are willing to pay to have the best performance currently possible.

Surprised I haven't seen this yet, so I'll leave my experience.

Daily (ab)user for ~4 years. No (observed) adverse mental, social effects.

Yesterday was 1 month clean, and I quit for mainly 1 reason: my mucus buildup was becoming near unbearable. I'd wake up every single morning and pretty much vomit straight mucus first thing after getting out of bed. When I would smoke, it would clear the mucus right out (by blowing my nose, etc), but it's almost like mucus drained down my throat while I was sleeping and would fill my stomach to the point of becoming sick in the morning.

Within 2 weeks of quitting the mucus issue was completely gone and my body back to normal - no more morning vomiting.

I have had other friends mention intensified mucus building from smoking cannabis, but it is not discussed often. Wondering if others have experienced something similar.

Anyways I much prefer cannabis to alcohol for evening relaxation, so my goal is to quit a bit longer and then form a more healthy, casual relationship with weed as I have with drinking.
I figure any cms could offer that via privileges

At these prices I think I will keep on playing 1080p/60Hz for a couple more years.
I meant that the release price was subsequently inflated by crypto which in the meantime cooled down significantly; if crypto were still hot, then inflated 20x0 prices would be expected; this seems more like an opportunistic move, "residual crypto-wave surfing", and resembles strategy NVidia was doing in pro segment for a while due to no competition.
Cool.

"The fediverse" seems to be the name people are using to refer to the maxclique of federated Mastodon and Mastodon-compatible (Pleroma, etc.) instances. Mastodon uses ActivityPub as its server-to-server protocol, although it adds some features or at least conventions that I think are not in core ActivityPub (content warnings, emoji, usernames of the form @geofft@xoxo.zone instead of https://xoxo.zone/@geofft, etc.). But I think that it's possible for any Mastodon user to subscribe to something that's just publishing blog posts via ActivityPub and not actually acting like a Mastodon server, and posts will show up in their timeline.

(Mostly I'm interested because in practice I tweet about my blog posts after I publish them and this seems to be how discovery works, so I might as well make my blog participate in the same protocol as this Twitter-replacement everyone seems excited about.)
Without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC’s complaint, Rothenberg and Rothenberg Ventures agreed to settle the charges. The settlement is subject to approval by the federal district court for the Northern District of California which would determine the amount of disgorgement and civil money penalties. Rothenberg also agreed to be barred from the brokerage and investment advisory business with a right to reapply after five years. An SEC order imposing the bar will be instituted following court approval of the settlement.

Fascinating, but not surprising, that it settled right away. I am curious whether the settlement details would be made available in any way.
I didn't say anything about anyone making any mistakes. If I thought that X people are making a mistake by doing Y, wouldn't it be simpler for me to just say that, rather than say something else that could possibly be interpreted as my saying that?

Right, but we’re including a potential “pro-focused” Mini which will quite possibly use the same quad core processors available in the 13” MBP. Can you cool that passively in a small case?

Minis a few years ago had a quad core processor option and a lot of people have been disappointed by its absence, making the current generation objectively worse than previous ones. I don’t think they’ll pass up the option to put it back in, IIRC it was something to do with their choice of Intel’s processor families that got it dropped in the first place.
