You can bet any decent sized company will have people keeping an eye out on ex-employees whose home projects miraculously gain WhatsApp-levels of traction. If you look to take on VC funding, I guarantee during the DD process they will ask you if you built any of the product while employed elsewhere, and if so, they’ll want to see your old employment agreement.

Is % an unnamed function? Or {. ? Then you have lots of unnamed things in, say, Java, which are "public", "static", "char" etc...

You don't need to learn them all before you can start doing something useful. J for C PRogrammers provides a good course gently introducing simple ones first.

Gimlet [1] has been doing "not Squarespace, but obviously ads" for a while now. I think it's fine; I always know when their ads are on, and the ads aren't repetitive enough that it's worth it to skip them.

edit: Just to be clear, Gimlet runs a fuckton of Squarespace ads. They're just done differently than "read spiel n+1". The "Reply All" hosts, for example, have a more than a year-long joke running where one of them has a Squarespace site for old people-y gripes.

No, I think he's referring to the technique of wall clipping you can use toward the end of 1-2 before you take the pipe back out to the flag.

Back in the 80s/90s kids would show how you could clip through the wall to the warp zone for two purposes:

1. as an alternative to jumping from the platform to the top of the screen.

2. More importantly, to get to level -1. You can do this because clipping through the wall Mario can arrive at the first warp zone pipe before the game registers that pipe as one of the labeled warp zone pipes. If you instead walk to the warp zone from the top of the screen Mario has to go all the way to the left before dropping down. And that would trigger the normal warp zones everyone is familiar with.

What the speed runners are doing is understanding the mechanics of wall clipping on a much deeper level. Rather than doing it to make Mario "moonwalk" or reach a special warp zone, they do it to push Mario forward on the screen. This allows them to do stuff like "wrong warp" and shave some frames off of their time to beat the game faster.

Obviously, growing every quarter significantly is not sustainable. But growing profits every quarter is how stock price goes up, right? Assuming you don't pay dividends on your stock, if you don't grow profits every quarter then your stock price doesn't go up, and the shareholders (via the board of directors) will sack the CEO. The whole incentive structure for corporations seems to cause the short term thinking that you see in large companies. Can you keep the shareholders placated by paying dividends instead of growing stock value via growing profit?

On an individual basis, you really don't know, this is why to come to a conclusion that policy methods are discriminatory you need to look at large scale patterns.

This shows a bit with regard to voter rights in America. If you look at the history, most state level voter laws are designed in a way to suppress the vote -- but these laws are championed as ways to "stop voter fraud" among other things.

The individual who made this comment may or may not have racial bias, but I'd love to see how the Cupertino city council has dealt with other policies which may change the racial make up of the city in the past.

I meant that I've wondered how much goes from the investors to the VCs (but then not back to the investors) via property rentals. I used "laundering" in the sense of "covering up where the money came from."

In my imaginary property model, the VCs make money regardless of whether the companies they back succeed, while the investors only win 1 out of 7 times, upon company successful exit. To the investors, it _looks_ like they've put a lot of money in the startups, but a significant portion of that goes back to property rental companies via salaries and office rentals. Which would be lower anywhere else, which is why I suspect the VCs are disincentivized to move companies elsewhere (or invest elsewhere). They make the most rent here.

But I don't actually know anything factual, like how many VC people privately hold heavy investments in bay area REITs. Even a well-intentioned (dedicated to making their client companies successful) VC would be a fool to not invest in REITs, now that the cycle is here, but after a few years of that and seeing where their money really comes from, I wonder if they can keep their good intentions.

I built Artpip (https://artpip.com) whilst working fulltime. Spent the odd weeknight and some weekends developing it over the course of a few months, then the same again when I added the pro mode once I realised it could actually make me some money.

Not sure you could classify it as a startup, but it makes me a few hundred dollars per month. I'd actually love to grow it more but I'm not sure what the best direction to take it in is. If anybody has any feedback or feels like getting involved, feel free to drop me a mail at "tom @ artpip.com"!

Torts aren't handshake agreements. They're duties that the state decides that all organizations owe to citizens or other organizations, by virtue of existing, but which should be enforced by the party who is actually wronged. (This is what distinguishes them from "crimes", which are forbidden actions that the state actively pursues.)

In this case, Acton's not the aggrieved party. The consumer is - they could argue that Facebook's introduction of advertising and linking of user data harmed them in a way they had not agreed to when they signed up for Whatsapp, or that its purchase violated antitrust law and reduced consumer choice. But good luck enforcing that, at least in the US, where privacy protections are weak and antitrust regulators are asleep. It looks like the EU regulators actually did enforce it, and slapped FB with a $122M fine, but that's peanuts for them.

I wouldn't call "In our source’s words" or "from two separate sources with access to [passport] databases" as public material on the Internet.

In fact, it very much reads as a classical parallel construction [1], e.g. some secret service identified the suspect through their work (anything from double agents to court-ordered wiretapping to illegal wiretapping) and back-fed details to some independent organization to create a train-of-thought from it and publish it. Especially since the public group photo is marked "[we] do not claim" and the truly exposing details come from secret databases from secret "sources". That is not public or verifiable information.

We had things like that here (here being a former eastern-bloc non-USSR country, where people are extra cautious of manipulations because being spoon fed with propaganda for 40 years) exposed fairly recently trough leaked wiretapping files. It was in all combinations. A journalist begging secret operatives to give her anything saying she would publish that immediately. Operatives feeding true information to unwitting journalists. And so on...

Have someone wave over $3 billion in your face and see how long your values last... Besides his investors would likely arrange an accident for him if he held out on a deal like that.
The weather content is relevant in that their server would go offline with too many cloudy days.

If their intent is to lower energy consumption of their server alone, offloading this weather check is the correct choice. But surely requesting+caching that info on their end (by perhaps rebuilding the static site every hour with an updated forecast) would be overall more efficient than having X number of clients request the data.
Checked exceptions are great in some cases. They are huge annoyance in others. The complaint is that the language does not provide tools to separate these cases - you can't just say "this method doesn't handle exceptions, pass it up" or "ok, now I want all exceptions to be handled, so tell me if I forgot something". It does not give the programmer control. Java has excellent facilities to make it happen - annotation, static analysis tools, extensive array of code checkers - but all this has to bow to the built-in mechanism which is crude and inflexible.

We don't have the whole picture. Chinese might be open to some kind of a deal that could give Google share of the pie for a long time.

> I know some other projects in our space decided it wasn't tenable to solve the Sybil attack and so they created a peer-routing system that bootstraps off of a blockchain.

One approach is to do the S/Kademlia thing where you require all peers to generate IDs (hash of a key) and require the it start with a certain number of 0 bits and then require another random X that, when xor'd w/ the ID, starts with a certain number of 0 bits.

Fwiw I'm from one of the excluded categories. I think they should just focus on tackling carbon reduction as they see best fit. If they achieve their mission it'll benefit every man, woman and child on earth. It's unreasonable to expect them to be omniscient. They are a small fund with a small sample of investments. Skew doesn't necessarily mean they have gender or race bias.

Elevating isn't their goal. Reducing carbon is. If we don't do that, there may be no races left to worry about equalising.
I think after the last election, the moral panic du jour was aimed at tech companies. Russian hackers on Facebook, clickbait...it's all lead to this. And the dialog is manufactured to make Google a villain.

I've never heard the term "HARKing" before. This is exactly what my advisor had me do on our experiments that couldn't confirm our initial hypotheses. I knew it was wrong because we set up the experiments in a way to eliminate confounding variables. So any conclusions drawn on data for hypotheses outside of those would be suspect. The experiments we ran were costly in time to do because we were using feedback from students using our learning system over a semester.

The issue with that is DNS resolution. I noticed that when I disconnect/reconnect my interface, it took >30 seconds for DNS resolution to properly resolve. Why? Because I was using a 65,000 entry host file on my modern Windows 10 machine.

It seems to only impact during NIC changes, but I VPN and was moving my computer enough that it was causing me issue.

I'd rather have a separate service to run it.
Thanks, nice!

Seems I'd misremembered it as being more recent than in was, last one in 2002. They apparently 'grew' to 10K, and that site is now 404 also.

At this point, 50K would be a welcome respite from the mountains of cruft that download with every click...

It seems to me that it would eventually be possible, to build a relatively cheap system that can both soak up power and transmit/recieve data without any external wiring.

You could hook up a raspberry pi to a solar system, weatherproof it, then deploy it in the wild. Add a wireless "router" of some sort, and then you have a mobile broadcasting station.

Imagine a world where such systems are very cheap to build. Also -- imagine that they could be "networked" if they are in range. Finally, imagine hobbyists building out that network for fun. Maybe in neighborhoods, public parks, etc.

Imagine the technology greatly improves and gets even cheaper. These are plastered everywhere, by everyone. They can transmit and receive data very quickly, over reasonably far distances.

Maybe it becomes an off-grid anarchist internet. :)
