Well in an office there is a thermostat somewhere. But if people know where it is they will try to get access to it and then get involved in power struggles over controlling it.

The dummy thermostats aren't really placebo thermostats but rather are decoy thermostats. Their purpose is to distract people from finding the real thermostat.

Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) | Full stack web | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime

Y Combinator has a small ~4 person team in San Francisco that build all the software that runs YC. We don't hire for this team very often, but we're looking to hire a couple of people now. We last posted on this thread about a year ago, and successfully found someone who now works on the current team, so we're trying it again.

Despite our small size, we're in charge of a number of important products. We run the software that powers YC's application process, software that almost every investor in silicon valley uses (https://blog.ycombinator.com/investor-day-software/), and Bookface, a private community site that is very actively used by YC founders. This year we launched two big new projects - Startup School (http://startupschool.com/) and Work at a Startup (http://workatastartup.com/). Those new projects are going very well - we have over 26K founders signed up for Startup School - and we want to double down on them.

An unusual aspect of being on the YC software team is that you'll get full access to the YC program, founders and partners - from our dinner talks to demo day. You'll learn the ins and outs of how YC works, and you'll get to know and learn from hundreds of companies. If you want to start a startup someday, working at YC would be an excellent jumping off point.

We also offer highly competitive compensation and benefits, including equity in YC's portfolio. You can read more and apply here: http://bit.ly/1Od0T2l. You can also email me with any questions: jared@ycombinator.com

At some low traffic crossings, the lights are programmed to tend to be green in the more trafficed direction, but will start to change immediately if there is an indication of demand in the other direction -- through a pedestrian button on a detector loop in the road surface. When there's higher traffic, they do more of the traditional cadence, but pressing the pedestrian button ensures the cycle will be long enough to cross the street.

Adwords location targeting options have been around some time with 3 targeting options for location: http://prntscr.com/kq9coa

And my advice when using this - Adwords defaults to "People in, or who show interest in, your targeted locations" but I would recommend "People in your targeted locations" as the first seems to be a very loose definition by Google and in my experience brings in dud traffic.

Location settings are one of the common set-up mistakes when I see client historic accounts. And there's some good tricks with combining these settings for business that need physical proximity that can make them very effective and flexible.

Agreed. Your optimism is awesome and I love seeing people who, without seemingly any question about what they have to do / want to be, go after what they want regardless of anything else. The bigger the hurdle the greater it is to see great people achieve their goals.
Well yeah, because a logging statement in production can fail (i.e. network connection drops). The type system forces you to deal with that fact instead of letting you write code that e.g. brings down your server unexpectedly because of some random log call.

Many would consider that a feature, but if you want to #yolo it anyway, like in most other languages, just use trace in prod and call it a day.

And quite often that specific site will tell Google everything they know about you because it wants to advertise on the AdSense network.

For example, if you go to Singapore Airlines website and search for a flight to Thailand but do not buy it, then open the New York App to read the daily news, you will likely see an ad for Singapore Airlines - perhaps even showing a special deal on flights to Thailand.

Seattle buttons do something. If you press and hold, they announce the intersection name, and when the walk sign is on, they tell you which street you're crossing. I haven't been in the city outside of peak times, but they may affect cycle timing when there is little traffic, and it makes sense to run a more adaptive schedule (but then again, there might not be such a time)

Eh... Monads aren't really just about side effects. They're really just a generalization of the threading macros in Clojure (sort of, at least I view them with the same motivation as the threading macros and their cousins in Closure). As for logging, if it's really just a log statement I'll sometimes just do the equivalent of `unsafePerformIO`ing it and not worry about it. All depends on what you consider semantically meaningful behavior from the program.

On the other hand, with the rise of stuff like OpenTracing and structured logging I think the Haskell community was pretty prescient about treating logging as an explicit side effect.
Why do people lie? Maybe people are prone to exaggeration when its an idea they like or it's somehow attached to a position or stake they have taken (of)themselves.

But really the point I was trying to make by saying it's just another sentiment: perhaps the number of people put off by incomplete statistics is more than the people swayed by the dramatic results

I didn't see it mentioned, but it should be noted that the motion blur example would be based on a fixed camera on a tripod. You need to adjust the shutter speed based on the focal length of your lens using 1/focal length as your starting point and go faster from there. Shooting at 1/60 hand-held with a 50mm lens will provide pretty great results. Shooting 1/60 on a 300mm hand-held lens will result in a motion blurred photo from camera and lens movement, even with in-body motion stabilization. The slowest the shutter should be when shooting hand-held with a 300mm lens would be 1/320. It's surprising how many people don't know this and as a result think that shooting manual is far more difficult than it really is.

To quote Henry Hazlitt:

"Economics is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no accident. The inherent difficulties of the subject would be great enough in any case, but they are multiplied a thousandfold by a factor that is insignificant in, say, physics, mathematics or medicine-the special pleading of selfish interests. While every group has certain economic interests identical with those of all groups, every group has also, as we shall see, interests antagonistic to those of all other groups. While certain public policies would in the long run benefit everybody, other policies would benefit one group only at the expense of all other groups. The group that would benefit by such policies, having such a direct interest in them, will argue for them plausibly and persistently. It will hire the best buyable minds to devote their whole time to presenting its case. And it will finally either convince the general public that its case is sound, or so befuddle it that clear thinking on the subject becomes next to impossible."

This is a major obstacle to "collaboratively and openly" deciding on the right policies (paternalistic or otherwise). If the process is open, it probably won't be collaborative: the discussion might end up dominated by those with special interests. I believe this is how the notion that tariffs might be a good idea (for economic purposes, anyway) has made it into public policy—this is one of the items Hazlitt's book goes through[1].

With regard specifically to "paternalistic" policies, one of the chapters is titled "The Assault on Saving", and I could easily imagine that people guided by Keynesian economics would recommend inserting trivial inconveniences to discourage people from saving their money while nudging them towards spending it, so as to increase aggregate demand and therefore the greater good.

They know the vicinty. If there are a lot of restaurants or other businesses, they don’t know exactly which business I was at. If I have an iPhone. They don’t even know that unless it was some place I needed directions to.
The type system forces you to solve this problem in a very specific way by structuring your entire app around pushing IO to the edges. There are plenty of other ways to address the problem that work perfectly fine in practice.

For example, you can specify what should happen is IO fails in your logging configuration. This handles the exceptional case consistently and in a single place without forcing you to structure your whole app around it.

What's more is that there really isn't a sane way to recover from such a catastrophic failure. If your database goes down, or you lose a disk, the only thing you can do is shut down the app. It's not like it's gonna keep humming along with the logging failing silently.

This kind of hyperbole that your either solve all problems via the type system or #yolo is precisely what makes Haskell community so toxic in my opinion.

Not OP, but I think people in general are predisposed to:

1. Not believe in things they can’t see

2. Especially when it is convenient not to.

The reasoning goes “if global warming were true, we’d have to change a lot of things. I don’t want to change things. It can’t be true”.

There’s also a tendency to believe that slow moving things can’t possibly cause big changes. The reasoning goes: “The earth has always seemed basically similar, so why would it change”

This reasonong doesn’t happen at a conscious level, it’s more of an impulse that guides what beliefs people let in, and don’t. What rationalizations they use, etc.

If it were a conspiracy of elites, you’d see mass support for things like carbon taxes. Instead, they’re unpopular.

Now, you could argue that some rich elites have used propaganda campaigns to convince people global warming is false. I think this is correct, but I also think these propaganda campaigns were aided by what people want to believe.

As for governments: they can’t undertake politically unpopular actions. They’ll get voted out.
This, it's getting the figurative perfect sphere. I'd say a better term for doer is a pragmatist considering the implied personality. As for Haskell The whole concept of generalizing and purity is already perfectionistic-ly biased on a conceptual level.

i've done this for years now. it's a great way to maintain attention, single out passages for later read-throughs, and note the weak points of the author for the purposes of composing a response or synthesis understanding.

one practice that i have used to great effect is circling the names of other authors and other texts which the piece that i'm reading mentions. then, if it's relevant, i can later hunt down the other resources easily. you can do some really cool exploration through certain intellectual movements that you'd never otherwise encounter. using that method i've discovered a few of my favorite authors (edward bernays, walter lippmann, etc).

notably, the book that goes into this practice and other scribblings in great detail is the timeless classic, "how to read a book" by adler. there's an entire section describing how to use marginalia to improve your understanding and set the stage for syntopical reading wherein you gain the deepest level of understanding and link-ins with outside information.

there's probably enough utility in pencil-reading to give an entire class on it. i can't praise it enough.
Web shouldn't end up this way. Web was designed for sharing documents. Webs and webapps now are sluggish and take soooo much RAM. I have a pretty fast computer with 16GB RAM but running all these webapps with Megabytes of javascript is bringing back -5years experience and can fill up my RAM. I know it is still improving but webapp developers are also quick with abusing every performance gain often for unwanted and unneded functionality. For example CSS animations for every mouse over, material clicking highlights are terrible, terrible design decisions which occassionally even spin up my laptop fan.
Those "physical attributes" are most grossly characterized with those same measures- size, shape, length, stiffness, etc. And if you have access to those simple attributes you get a lot farther than if you just think about a genome as a magical information store.

> I find Erlang a harder tool to shoot yourself with than Elixir

Can you please elaborate? I was of the opinion it was the other way around.
In the case of PCB's in most cases it takes hours to make stuff, and you need to buy components for the boards and pay for shipping, etc.. so I guess I understand not wanting to pay for something because we all wish it was free, but making PCB's either costs you a bunch of your own time, or money if you buy the components to populate -- which then takes a bunch more time, etc.. so its confusing to me that you are a hobbyist that may be interested in making PCB's, but spending say $100 is is too much money? I mean even buying a laser cutter / etcher is not cheap nor is a reasonably good 3d printer.. I guess I'm just saying it seems like a lot of people never take the plunge making PCB's mostly because they are worried they will make a mistake and "waste" the money, but that's a different point than it being "too expensive".. anyway, I'd say just give it a shot on one of the services that cost $50...
Even if you become a politician, you cannot do what you set out to do without support from others. They will ask you to your face what kind of profit they'll be making off of your changes or reforms. Why should they support you? What's in it for them? If they don't like the answer, you might as well give up because it's not happening. There is no such thing as "this idea is objectively good, let's put it in practice".

I don't know when it started but it's part of the government's culture now. It's common knowledge too: people talk about institutionalized corruption openly, citing investigations, comments by officials and even judges. It's a systemic problem and I have no idea what people are supposed to do in order to fix something like that. It's very demotivating and demoralizing.

This is actually a huge reason why lots of people want the military dictatorship back. The logic is (1) the military cares about Brazil and believes in the country's potential, and (2) they will do whatever they believe is necessary to make the country great, regardless of any individual's interests. Our history with dictatorships doesn't quite validate that logic, obviously.
In what way? Those are defined as part of the operator. I usually parenthesize them anyway just like I would for an equation.
about 10 years ago i had a sony brand e-reader that had a stylus which enabled seamless underlining / writing on the margins. it's since been discontinued, and i haven't ever found anything remotely comparable despite checking in on it every other year or so. it's a real shame.
Nah, it's that Best Buy doesn't make most of its money on the items they price match. Their big sellers are their mobile department and all the accessories folks like to pick up with their new purchase, which are very often store exclusives and have incredibly high margins. They make a killing on chargers, adapters, phone cases, you name it, but actually make tiny margins on a lot of their "core" items. The big ticket item they price match is often kicked back by the vendor anyway, so the store doesn't lose out when they do it. Their goal is just to get folks in the door, and let the momentum of a good sales interaction close the deal. (Questionable on the "good," they're admittedly not very good at screening / training, but in aggregate this strategy works well for them.)

Best Buy price matches because it gets people in the store. I don't believe for a second that they did it in response to losing business to online storefronts; rather, I think it's far more likely that they did it in response to other retail chains doing the same. Their customers came to expect it, so they obliged, as a marketing tactic to make sure their retail competition didn't have that as an edge. Their price match policy is also pretty strict; they won't match just anything on Amazon, it has to have some degree of verification and be from a trusted seller. (Especially for things like iPads / common fake listings, etc.) Last time I checked it had to be "Sold and shipped by Amazon" but that might have changed, it's been a while.

(Source: I worked at a Best Buy store for about 4 years.)
