Agreed. I was excited by the prospect of being a part of a network of other vetted founders.

If they're letting literally anyone in, it's no more useful than every other founders mastermind group on FB.

Huge misfire by YC. Startup School had the chance to be a wonderful network of promising early stage companies - not only that, you've alienated a lot of the promising companies who were properly accepted.

YC simply does not have the stomach to deal with even an ounce of bad press, and it showed today. I would be very wary as a promising company to jump on board with an organization that will probably throw you under the bus rather than go through the fire with you if ever your company, for whatever reason, incites a mob.

I will no longer be applying to the YC accelerator, and from my conversations with other great founders, I'm not the only one.

The recently approved $717 billion in defense spending increased military spending by $80 billion dollars, far in excess of what would've been necessary to provide free college to everyone. Hard to argue the moral hazard on education spending when you're firehosing billions of dollars of taxpayer money into a dumpster fire already.

"Those concerns were brushed aside Monday night, as the Senate overwhelmingly approved an $80 billion annual increase in military spending, enough to have fully satisfied Sanders’s campaign promise. Instead, the Senate handed President Donald Trump far more than the $54 billion he asked for. The lavish spending package gives Trump a major legislative victory, allowing him to boast about fulfilling his promise of a “great rebuilding of the armed services.

Or with $80 billion a year, you could make public colleges and universities in the U.S. tuition-free. In fact, Sanders’s proposal was only estimated to cost the federal government $47 billion per year."

This is a really nasty way of doing this, but if you do have a Mastodon account, you can use feed2toot[0].

An "upgraded" version of it would be to parse another RSS/Atom feed for your blog. Make an excerpt of the content that's 496 - <link_length> and then construct the toot to be "<excerpt>... <link>".

Of course, native integration would be far better, but it would go way out of the scope of static site generators.

Silver, Gold and Electrum: 3 Data Techniques for Multi-Task Deep Learning
My theory is, this is why Google doesn't care abt search anymore. It doesn't matter what is on the second result page.

Let the arms race for the first couple results on any subject sort search out init?

The rest will putrify away with time and the entire useful internet will shrink back to something that will likely fit on some future multi terrabyte drive. Just like DNA. Data centers/the cloud will shutter and rust away just as most manufacturing plants have...
Already today most of the largest text datasets available anywhere fit easily on your grandmoms iPad and fully searchable.

You can see the guys who run search at Google or Facebook or Amazon or Microsoft etc don't have as much influence on these firms as they once did.

We went from info scarcity to info overload thanks to the info age. Now we are going through a period where we work out what we don't need and never have needed.

Journalism and news in an environment of info overload are incapable structurally of reducing the amount of info in the world. Therefore their end is near.
How valuable can a forum with 15,000 companies (most of which are bad) spamming their services ever offer any real value? If you're lucky to have a good group you might find value, otherwise it's going to be pointless.

Bah. I am much more interested in their "Scene AI", I think they are branding it NGX, but I can't tell.

Basically, an AI has access to the scene geometry and the renderer is feeding it information as the scene is rendered. As the scene completes, the AI begins to learn hidden surfaces and other aspects of the scene. It starts to fill in pixels for the renderer, and after enough of the scene is understood, the AI takes over, finishing the render.

Infinity more interesting than ray tracing.

I always though of them as a hardware company having seen their name on laptops, but they did have their own brand of Unix and I am currently working on a CDN originally written by them.
I think I wasn't clear enough about why this solution isn't just a distributed log/event sourcing approach:

- The description above was intended to NOT specify any tech it depends on -- Kafka is the best queueing and long-term-log-storage engine I've ever heard of, but the point is that it shouldn't matter. Kafka doesn't "write" the distributed log, it just stores it.

- I don't want an Event Sourcing solution. It's often combined with CQRS, but the thing is, I don't think you actually need events (I might be wrong) -- you just need the commands, and as long as what they do never changes, you can skip a bunch of problems with event sourcing -- you can more easily compress stuff if you don't allow the semantics of operations to change. Also there's stuff about how you handle things like schema changes, etc -- in event sourcing it's often "recalculate the whole DB", but I think that should not be the solution -- In this system I'm proposing, I'd literally ensure I could reflect the migration as operations in the log, and do it that way.

What you're describing is a Kafka-log based event sourcing system, and it's close to what I mean, but not quite the same -- I want the systems to be able to able to trivially cluster, for example, by hitting an endpoint like `/replicate`, which does nothing but stream log messages out as they hit one particular server. In the system you describe I think the equivalent thing would be a tiny bit harder to achieve since you'd need to be able to listen to another subscriber's messages.

I'm also completely aware that I might go about building this and realize I just took the long way around to the system you're describing but I don't think I am just yet.

In my late 20s that did help me quite a bit, to carry a medication that could help me if I did have an attack. However, making the decision to not carry it after a while was supremely empowering, and helped cement the notion that I could manage my anxiety and calm myself down. And I do, on a regular basis.

To each their own I suppose. Also, if you’re reading this and struggling with anxiety or panic attacks, you’re not alone, but the thing that helps you cope may be unique to your situation, so please work directly with a therapist or a doctor!
If what's being called "charge" here is charge distribution between one side of the element and the other side within the circuit (basically, electrons to the left minus electrons to the right, divided by two lest we count a single moving electron twice), and what's being called "current" here is simply current across the element, then in this case, i = dq/dt.

That's a good mathematical model of the behavior of the elements from a pedagogical perspective, though confusing for more advanced readers.

Which in practice just means that everyone labels anything they don't like "intolerance", bans it and toddles off congratulating themselves on how tolerant they are.

I have no idea what the solution is. I suspect anyone coming up with one would win all the Nobel Peace Prizes from now until the end of time. I do think it's a useful rule of thumb that if you're not finding tolerance excruciating and infuriating at times, you're not really doing it.

In Docker's defense they don't really barrage you with marketing. This isn't a situation where if you create an account you're going to get emailed every day about "5 tips on moving your Enterprise application to Docker!".

I've had a Docker Hub account since Docker Hub was a thing and the only content I really ever get from Docker is a weekly newsletter (which you can opt out of) and notifications about the platform itself (such as any downtime reports, etc.).

I do think it's a bad idea though, mainly because for newer people getting into Docker it's a barrier of entry to overcome. I'm very suspicious of anyone asking me to register for things like this. On the other hand, I don't have insights that Docker has, so to make such a bold move, they probably have a plan.

Highway fueled terrorism, new research suggests.
Same experience. The first one's brutal. The uncertainty of what's happening and the fear forms a negative feedback loop, only making it worse. Am I having a heart attack? In my 20s?! But, ever after, I found them pretty easily defused with, "Ugh. This again. Yeah, yeah..."

The anxiety itself is still unpleasant, and sometimes it can take novel forms, symptomatically, which is cute (and a good way to jade you to legitimate medical issues). Fortunately, though, I've had nothing as intense as my first or second panic attacks to date.

WebAssembly vs. JS, a benchmark
Ordinarily, I’d agree with this, except to look at how this series of events transpired, one gets the sense that the aggressors in this scenario did not give a shit about identity as they went about (and continue to go about) dealing death (and worse) to pretty much anything in front of them.

In this case it seemed to be based on regions or zones in rural territories. Anybody in those towns or villages, was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and no amount information was going to make a difference.

I don’t think they were going around, checking names and marking clipboards. By all accounts, there was nothing orderly about this one. Little more than a perimeter walked down to a kill zone. The people that got away had to move fast, and of the ones that made it out of the round up, it seemed to be children and people who played dead.

So, add computerized record keeping to the mix. Will it be used to hunt people down? It’s probably a concern worth considering, but really the modus operandi seems to be search and destroy eviction from a territory, to clear out an area, not understanding and targeting network nodes in a constellation of peers.
> Overall I feel like the intent of these is correct, but the execution is terrible.

The inverse is true. Instead of a simple "opt in" / "opt out" dialogue, most sites are deliberately employing various UX dark patterns to coerce users into agreeing to tracking against their will. These range from the annoying: settings -> untick several checkboxes, to the plainly non-compliant: accept all tracking, or leave the site.

I hope that enforcement gets into gear soon, and takes a very dim view of these practises.

>> also, no mention of masking techniques!

> Out of scope. Those are hidden behind magical constant time routines.

How is that?
Side-channel resistance is largely a matter of reducing the Signal-to-Noise ratio for traces an attacker can leverage to extract secrets.
A constant-time logic reduces the Signal; a masking logic increases the noises.
The two are largely independent and at times at odds.
For instance, recent fast curves (like DJB's) are good because they can be easily implemented in constant time in software (as far as we know) but they are actually much harder to mask (in software or hardware).
If you have health issues, please don't follow any advice on the internet (Ok, not even mine) and go ask your doctor.
I agree. This is a braindead article. They admit in the opening paragraphs that social media is only tied to 10% of anti-refugee violence. What about the other 90%? Maybe there are some bigger issues going on and Facebook is just one of the tools involved.
Indeed, eating beans instead of meat was a mark of civilization for the Romans because legumes are an agricultural product, whereas meat is hunted and only savages go hunting.

I think the point is that with PCs they make less effort to eek performance out of hardware.

I think I disagree about the red flag part. Why should you not be allowed to like it and feel valued while not being a stakeholder. How do you know that there is no way for him to become a stakeholder at some point in the future? Ever heard of bonus and commission payments?

My main point is not to get emotional over a job or your relationship with the company or your coworkers. I’m not saying that building professional relationships with your coworkers is unimportant, it’s the most important type of influence you have in the company.

As far as him “becoming a stakeholder through bonuses and commissions”, I agree. If they value him, they will place a monetary amount on that value....

You will know if they feel you are a “valued member of the team” when you get your annual raise. People pay for what they value.

It's a little different then that. The problem here is echo chambers. Echo chambers allow people to push eachother further and further away from mainstream views. Eventually this extremism leads to violence. Facebook's algorithm's seem to be designed to create echo chambers. Not only that, but their algorithms favor posts that lead to strong emotions. This study shows that this creates an environment that breeds violence.
