You will need to know where the other peer lives. Which is why they expect you to have a discovery service. But typing in local IP's should work for internal networks. The hardest part is getting through NAT and firewalls and that's not a problem on your own LAN.
Yes, I know, but it's still worth noting that subway dancers aren't actually "dangerous" on any sensible definition of the term.

The feelings that you mention are far from universal and significantly educable. I find subway dancers mildly irritating. They've never caused me to fear for my safety.

>we evolved in an environment that rewarded avoiding aggressive strangers and also in which automobiles did not exist.

People from remote tribes who've never seen an automobile are practically scared to death when they first set foot in a city. Not being scared by cars isn't in any way the default attitude for a human to have -- quite the opposite. But we get used to cars. You can also get used to people dancing on the subway.

Also, subway dancers aren't "aggressive", in my experience at least.
Thanks for the comment. Sorry to disapoint you but the names you see in the first section of our tool are not generated names. These are the names of similar names already registered as a trademark with United Stated Patent & Trademark Office. So you can check if there are any conflicting trade names (trademarks) to the one you are searching.
That sounds fair, but it seems would argue just as well for the boredom of being eternally in a 'state of peace', no other activities suggested. If this peace is forced upon you, isn't it just a forced eternal torpor?

And you've just shifted the problem of describing what is great about heaven to describing what is great about 'being in God's presence'. And I assume here you'd use words 'blissful', 'undescribable', etc. which are exactly the trouble words Orwell highlights.

I think what's missing here is the real perspective that hapiness is an evolutionary mechanism. All forms of contentment are made to get us to do things, be sucessful animals, reproduce as much as possible, etc. Some forms of displeasure are absolute (e.g. chronic pain), but most forms of hapiness are relative. It wouldn't be useful if hominids were in permanent depression for not having air conditioning in their huts or tasty food every meal. For nature it's ideal if you have a stable baseline that directs you toward achievable goals, and be neither permanently blissful or depressed.

That's not to say that, objectively, we couldn't come up with a pretty good scheme where people are actually healthy, happy and content a lot of the time, and which isn't entirely trivial. I have friends that more or less fit in that description. Some small problems colour their lives but generally they're in a pretty good state, compared to what I can imagine is achievable. Giving tem one bajillion dollars probably wouldn't change that state much, it could even make it a little worse by completely ridding them of problems.

By that I mean to say, there are things we can do to make the world better without getting into an actually miserable eventless existence. Physical pain, in particular chronic pain is an example of a bad state in an absolute sense. Total social isolation is equally bad. You can provide reasonably challenging work, etc. We also have plenty of depressed people with access to extremely favorable living conditions but lacking certain stimuli that makes us happy.

And I think we should strive for that environment. There's a possible conclusion from the essay that either we're going to reach a state of permanent, problem-free torpor from complete lack of resource constraint; or we'll have to force ourselves into a generally harsh lives with a few joys here and there.

I think this doesn't have to be a problem: I believe we can realize a future where everyone is in excellent health, with pretty good access to food and diverse sources of pleasure, entertainment, art, etc., have good social contact, is challenged at work or education, and which it is is fun and worthwhile. It doesn't need to last forever to be excellent. I'd merrily live for 1000 years in this world.

I make no claims about the necessarily political and economic systems to achieve this goal (and those are of no importance comparing to approaching it).
The problem is that if you knowingly infringe on a patent, it's triple damages. So most companies that are big enough to have any budget aren't going to be allowed to use any product that involves them or anyone else searching through the patent database or using data from the patent database, since any record that they did so could result in massive legal liability.

There are about 15 companies in this space offering various services, but because of this issue the market has remained relatively small even though a lot of these companies have been around for a decade or more and have pretty mature offerings.
The sonic boom regulations that effectively killed the Concorde were enacted in 1972.
This is quite interesting, the plot of Artemis by Andy Weir which is basically about a company trying to make fibre-glass in space might actually seem plausible.
You're making a distinction without a difference -- whether it's because of "caution" or whatever, no progress will be made if you have your way.

According to you the solution lies in "politics". Yet, this law is the product of California's government, a political body -- is that not legitimate "politics"?

So what would make for a "political" solution that would qualify for your stamp of approval? Chasing a consensus with the "tough on crime" crowd who benefit from felony disenfranchisement disproportionately suppressing minority votes? No such consensus will ever happen.
Anything less than 6+ hours or so, it's just as efficient to drive, depending on how big of a circus your airport is. More than that, planes start to be much quicker in transit time. Doesn't really solve the legroom part though.
I know and understand nothing about this topic but given the fact that the universe is infinite by definition makes the conclusive/definitive statement very surprising.
In what state can debtees garnish debtor wages? To my knowledge, only the government has that power, and only uses for taxes or child support reasons.
Definitely the same in SF, Uber / Lyft notoriously double park illegally.
Blogdown isn't there, but Hugo is, and blogdown is mostly an RMarkdown interface for Hugo.
Wow, that's gross. Braess's Paradox says adding more capacity to roads can cause more congestion, I guess the narrative would be 'rip up roads to solve traffic' then? It really makes me sick to my stomach how often 'authorities' lack any background in formal reasoning, and see no need to apply it to decisions for the public welfare.
The spying is interference, they don't have to do anything else. Having access to that information alone is enough to limit the potential positions any politician can hold. This isn't hand waving, people change their actions when they know they are being watched.
50 year old programmer in the middle of an open office with 25 year olds bouncing balls around, playing loud music - bad culture fit.

Foreign middle aged man who can't speak the language very good in an environment where native language is important - not a good culture fit.

Female 25 year old in a group of 50 year old men who mostly wants to relax at work and are a bit awkward around young women - bad culture fit.

Very outspoken social person who enjoys partying in the middle of senior bank personalities who are extremely detail oriented and introverted - bad culture fit.

Just saying there is a lot of bad culture fits. It can be age, gender, race, personality and even appearance. Bad culture fit is everywhere. It's just not something we talk about very openly because it's not socially accepted. So we hide it under other reasons.
Yes people do this all the time, but YMMV. I could be wrong, but I believe the hospital is not obligated to work with you. Depends on who you talk to, the type of procedure it was, your household income and more. You're making $70k/year supporting a family of 4 in a tech-hub like the Bay Area, but say you had an accident vacationing in Texas and now on the hook for $8k in hospital bills. Will the hospital look at your cost of living or will they see 70k and assume you should pay in full?

Indeed, according to the page you linked:

> Note that Live Share's cloud relay does not persist any traffic routed through it and does not "snoop" the traffic in any way.

So it sounds like it's your traditional NAT traversal with TURN/STUN, and their promise that they don't snoop if the end up relaying.

Very cool!

My experience about 'culture fit' was that it was a code word for ageism. Sometimes they'd be even more direct if I pushed back. This wasn't at the end of a 45 minute interview, it was in the first five minutes after I'd already passed the technical review. Might not be true in every instance, but I absolutely cringe when I hear that phrase.
I agree it speaks to bad interviewing, because these whiteboard interviews are a bad interview practice. Yea knowing how to not acciddentally get an O(n^3) bottleneck is table stakes for development. What we get however is you interviewing for a job to make data entry apps and they ask you to implement a variety offlood fill algorithms with modifications that force edge cases unless you work around it. Or you'll be maintaining a legacy application and then they ask you to work out a Month Carlo simulation on the board. Then on top of this, despite what interviewers say out loud, they almost always start looking at edge cases and if the interviewee does not work there way around them they are dinged for points compared to an interviewee who does deal with the edge cases.

The majority of development work does not have you working through every comp sci algorithm in existence on a frequent enough schedule that the average engineer, or even a great engineer, will remember them all. That is going to garuntees that interviews are a game of chance. The more algorithms and the trick question associated with them that you can memorize the greater your odds, but it's still down to luck of the draw for what questions you are asked.

If you're looking for devs to show that they understand the ideas, you'd be better off telling them the problem space ahead of time so that they can prepare for it, and then deeply questioning their knowledge in that space
Everything in Rust is somewhat hard.
You're right, I should drug and ripoff your mother for asking me stupid computer questions at the office. Wouldn't want to just be a decent person and help, especially when you're paid to do a job.
While police and transit should deal with incidents that do inevitably happen, but I don't think fear of potential incidents is something they can fix. It may be that the person with the fear simply doesn't like to live in a large city.
The reason I switched to Lambda was to handle bursts. Occasionally some teacher would have a classroom open LilyBin, and my one server couldn't compile 30 scores at once. Lambda made it easy to handle.

Hacklily is great! Obviously doing fine with the HN burst! I may just point people to yours at some point.
Agreed, but Encrypted Git is... they don't see your repo.

I don't know anybody else who does it.
It seems that getting that extra seed round, when you already have recurring revenue, should be the easy part.

Since you already had spent all the time and money to do the initial product engineering. Your database is in place, your web servers are online, and you can handle a modicum of traffic.

So, you have proven that a market exists for your product.

Then the extra VC seed money, is just for the major marketing and sales push, and to pay for extra servers. And these days, everyone just hosts it on the AWS cloud, so virtual servers are just a click away. There's no need to actually hire an army of Linux system administrators to handle your network anymore.

My question is: How difficult is it to get Angel or VC money, to build out your Powerpoint idea?

This is just the initial idea, that you have sketched out on a paper, with maybe some big ideas on how it can fulfill a market need. This engineering effort will take some time to flesh out, and it will take money to hire a small staff of engineers, and to just pay yourself to work on it.
Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but "NGOs" just means "non-governmental organizations"; would it be accurate refer to any arbitrary group of companies (that are unaffiliated with any government) as "NGOs"? While the article does specify that it is a "British-led alliance of NGOs", it seems to me like one could call a group consisting of Google, Facebook, and other similar companies as "NGOs"; what's to say that these NGOs aren't just companies that profit off of the lack of a "right to be forgotten"?
> The people in BNW live in the manner that they desire, but not many would call it a utopia.

That's probably because Huxley implies an overarching force or process that is rather directly controlling the population. Also-- like 1984-- this process is strongly implied to be inescapable.

Those aspects of those books scare the hell out of young people. But if you remove those aspects, I'm not sure many people would find anything wrong with getting high and dancing to algorithmically generated music when they feel the urge.
I feel like there are deep implications in this article about healthcare costs.

If hospitals don’t compete on price, what really motivates them to find a cheaper ventilator?

If they aren’t all that motivated to find a cheaper ventilator, are the ventilator manufacturers motivated to develop a simpler and cheaper version of their technology? Not so much. They might be more motivated to lobby for regulations making cheaper solutions illegal to protect their business.

And so forth.

Fascinating. Demoralizing.
Any chance you can tell me the steps you've used in the past to get OCR out of it? I just took like 30 photos of a book to test this idea out and can't OCR it.
To be clear, while journalists often write hyperbolic headlines about how Atrium is replacing lawyers with AI, what we are really doing is building tools that empower and enable lawyers (by automating the crank turning work and freeing legal professionals up to focus on what they like doing, which is advising clients).

When we were selling Twitch, we didn't want an AI lawyer, Uber for lawyers, a marketplace of lawyers, or workflow software for selling your company. We wanted an M&A attorney with years of experience selling multi-billion dollar deals to tell us that everything we were doing was right. This is the philosophy we're taking to Atrium, which is the best clients will go where the best lawyers go, and the best lawyers will go where they are empowered and life is better :).

More broadly, technology has always displaced humans and whether we should ramp taxes on capital is largely dependent on the distribution of ownership of that technology. We are probably swinging back towards robber-baron levels of value creation accruing to capital, and so I predict taxes to increase in the medium term.
typeof is supported by everything[1] except the C standard. It was rejected in the 1990s and nobody on the committee seems to want to revisit the decision.

To be fair, typeof is not as useful without statement expressions (`({ ... })`), and statement expressions aren't as widely supported.

[1] All the major compilers support it (clang, GCC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Solaris, etc), plus or minus underscores in the identifier.
"take the hit for 7 years"

This is the advice I've heard given to people who are severely underwater on a mortgage, but the idea that you can get sick one time and be financially ruined is still astonishing to me.

I guess everywhere has some legislation that is just bonkers, though. I only just recently found out from a friend that you can't legally walk away from a mortgage here (UK) without declaring bankruptcy like you can in the States, which is bananas.
This is using prerendered and cdn-cached PNG files. openmaptiles usually uses pbf vector tiles, which needs to be rendered in js.

It is to be expected that this is quicker on any halfway decent internet connection.
I've done it.

I owed a $975 remainder on a $3000 e-room visit. I sent an email asking if they'd discuss a settlement and they just called me and said the debt would be written off completely.

I was going to open the negotiation at $900 because that's what I had left in my HSA account.

So clearly it pays to ask. In my case it probably also helped that I had already paid more than half the bill. But I didn't even have to plead poverty - I just said something along the lines of "I'm trying to figure out how to best deploy the funds I have, would you discuss a settlement"?
We may not like it but yes, age matters for culture fit. I prefer people saying so instead of giving me bullshit reasons.
I do feel like the first company to nail real convergence in this space is going to own the next decade. Apple's definitely been playing with integrating MacOS and iOS better as well. Google's been pushing Android apps into Chrome. While Microsoft's mobile OS is on hiatus, they've been pushing Windows integration with Android.
For long already I use many personas/users of Chrome simultaneously. It's very useful. Especially when you create a dedicated shortcut to a service/web-site on a desktop or even pin it to the taskbar. So I have direct Gmail icon on my taskbar that launches GMail as a standalone headless window and for a particular Chrome persona. Next is another GMail icon (it's possible to change icons if you need or turn on in W10 taskbar settings illustration of Chrome persona in the bottom right corner) with a different account via different Chrome user. They both work simultaneously. For social accounts I use one persona, for business another, for news and entertainment third. So every session very comfortably is saved and loaded only to a selected persona when I start the session. Since any link in any tab could be opened via a different persona/user it's not a problem to open a link from twitter or facebook in completely different persona where I'm not logged in for socials and basically incognito for the services.
Recognizing cultural differences is important. Some cultures feel that being on time is vital to running a business properly. Other cultures see schedules as suggestions and not requirements. Imagine 50/50 split of these two cultures trying to agree on something as simple as when and how to run a weekly meeting?
Enterprise is slow but sure to follow. Look at NodeJS adoption for example today compared to 2 years ago.
Everyone says they only hire on merit, and then you double-blind their recruitment process and you see how different the sucessful candidates are from the previous process.
Culture fit is what people really feel inside but don't want to talk about because the current religion dictates that diversity is the best thing for a company. The thing is, for most tasks, homogenous and cohesive team is much more efficient and performant. It is easier for most people to work with people who are similiar to them, both culturally, racially, temperamentally, IQ level and anything else you can think about. Companies, like countries tend to disintegrate when they become too diverse. Sometimes, small doses of diversity are necessary for break throughs and creativity, but it is small doses, not the main way things suppose to work day by day.
Main challenges aren't that unique, as anyone who has build a company at scale can probably attest to: need to create alignment around a medium term plan, and we need to execute faster (mostly by better prioritization and hiring the right leaders in the right places).

It's weird how similar startups can be even when they are in wildly different spaces.
It depends on how you define post PC with all seriousness. Some people already use only a phone or tablet as their computing device. We aren't even post mainframe era shockingly as some still use mainframes instead of server racks. And that is actual ones not virtualizations of ones with proven but basically unmaintainable software.
A company whose value lies solely or predominantly in its tangible or liquefiable assets is a company that an efficient market will soon liquify, and thus ceases to be a company.
This is a strange article in that probably 5% of the sentences therein are actually dedicated to the meat of the headline and the rest dedicated to promoting his company which helps with the stated problem. I wish I could actually see the article debate his points instead of trying to sell me something.

I live in Austin, which for a period of time had basically driven out Uber and Lyft with regulation. Then, the Texas state government overruled the city, and Uber and Lyft came back. I can say from personal experience, our traffic did not get the slightest bit better when Uber and Lyft were gone. However, our drunk driving rates did apparently go up.
Something I've been thinking about a lot recently: would there be scope for a compiler mode which used virtual dispatch for generics (as well as trait objects) so as to speed up compile times? (and then you could compile the same code monomorphised for production).
I find the authors claims odd. Yes, people who used computers for work before everyone had a smart phone and tablets were plentiful still use computers at work. That hasn't changed. But what people use at home for things that are not work has most definitely changed. I know people in their 20s and early 30s who do not have a computer with a keyboard - and if they do, I've never seen them use it at home. In 2008, I would expect most people in their 20s and early 30s to have a laptop at home, that they used for basic internet stuff. I don't expect that anymore.

The author seems to think only about professional activities. But from what I have seen, home consumption and day-to-day activities have moved off of "computers" and on to devices like smart phones and tablets. This is true for me personally: I have a work laptop, but I don't have a functioning one at home anymore. At home, I only use my tablet and smart phone. Years ago, my personal laptop broke, and I realized there was no point in replacing it.
I like the idea of ride sharing but the problem comes when it's abused to the extreme. It's not out of the ordinary for someone to order 3-4 Lyfts on the weekend in a single evening. That is a ton of unnecessary driving to hang out or fulfill the social obligations people have. I sometimes wonder what San Francisco was like before ride sharing. I imagine people would just pick a neighborhood and hang out there.
If I stuck you with some insane compliance requirements and forced you to deal with an 12" iPad with keyboard, you'd be ok in that workflow -- which is one of the more challenging iPad workflows.

Typical consumer and business task-user workflows are easier on iPad or Android tablets.

From a business POV, the modern stuff is set and forget. It's really difficult with iOS in particular to really fubar your devices.
Well, that's what C++ lambdas do. Though C++ has smart pointers to help with lifetime issues.
It's not such a dilemma - most of the "bad" riders are also fare evaders. If SF simply put in any effort to make sure that riders actually paid for their trips, that would solve 90% of the problem. Riding the bus for free is not a civil right.
