In the case of things like this, it's as much because people have erroneous ideas left over from outdated science journalism, as it is from people just not having any information or inclination to care. (Sherlock Holmes's reaction to the information that the Earth goes around the sun.)
I feel the underlying cause of this is the continuing stupidification of Western Societies. It ties in well with the fact that most people just aren't well equipped to navigate complex issues and are easy prey for unscrupulous marketers. Companies take advantage of that fact just as much as politicians do. It's easy to tell people to be afraid of complex sounding ingredients just as much as it's easy to tell voters to be afraid of complex scientific phenomena like climate change. And then you can push your unscientific agenda (whether it's climate change denial or it's marketing your food as natural and your competitors as poison and thus charging your customers double or more for it).

If this is their model, I expect them to be straightforward about it and I expect that most everyone will not touch their standards with 10 ft pole. Standards are not in short supply. I expect "this food contains known poison" sort of explicit label on their wares.

Instead they make it look like community effort, stay silent about strings attached.

Some of the numbered red dyes are a migraine trigger for my wife. Naturally sourced dyes don't seem to trigger that reaction, although I'm sure that some people are sensitive to cabbage extract as well.

I'm a bigger fan of not adding colors to things that don't need it, but I still appreciate naturally sourced colors.

-> Raised some 100k-ish $ after YC, didn't find PMF till their 3rd iteration on an insanely different idea.
In cosmology, there's a parameter called "curvature". If the curvature were slightly less than 1, the topology would be "closed", meaning it would be finite, and traveling in a straight line ends back where you started. This is like the surface of the Earth, but in 3 dimensions instead of 2. Triangle angles add up to greater than 180 degrees. If the curvature were equal to 1, the universe would be "flat", meaning it would be infinite and triangles would add up to 180. If the curvature were greater than 1, it would be "hyperbolic", meaning it would be infinite and triangles would add up to less than 180.

If I recall correctly, currently the best measurement of the curvature is 1 +/- .02, so it's probably flat. What's interesting is if the shape was flat and the universe were truly infinite, there would be an infinite number of perfect copies of Earth, the closest of which would be within 10^10^23 meters, as noted by Max Tegmark (source: http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/crazy.html)
In that paper, Pike wasn't talking about academia (primarily or exclusively) in the first place. I think when he wrote that paper he had spent his entire career at Bell Labs. He was lamenting the decline of the systems-research praxis that he, and his lab, had been such an important part of for so many years. There's an excellent reason he's working at Google now.
very interesting and creative use if EPT, will read the link. thanks for sharing
I think it's a cognitive reaction to safety. Fear is certainly there due to the unknown. People will retreat to what they feel is safe and easy to understand i.e. "natural" food. Little do they know natural food is GMO! The crops that survived today did so by natural genetic mutations for the crops that had the best ability to survive. Humans just took advantage of that fact and sped up the process a bit to our advantage.

With a bit of searching I found "Guidelines on Personal data breach notification under Regulation 2016/679"[1] which states:

> Although the GDPR introduces the obligation to notify a breach, it is not a requirement to do so in all circumstances:
> - Notification to the competent supervisory authority is only triggered where a breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
> - Communication of a breach to the individual is only triggered where it is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.

After some clarification, it also states:

> Regardless of whether or not a breach needs to be notified to the supervisory authority, the controller must keep documentation of all breaches, as Article 33(5) explains:
> “The controller shall document any personal data breaches, comprising the facts relating to the personal data breach, its effects and the remedial action taken. That documentation shall enable the supervisory authority to verify compliance with this Article.”
> This is linked to the accountability principle of the GDPR, contained in Article 5(2). Controllers are therefore encouraged to establish an internal register of breaches, regardless of whether they are required to notify or not.

So the answer seems to be "it depends". But when Google says "We made Google+ with privacy in mind and therefore keep this API’s log data for only two weeks. That means we cannot confirm which users were impacted by this bug." I'd argue it's better to err on the side of caution and report it.

The day our jobs as software engineers has become obsolete is the day that humanity has achieved something magnificent. In a strange way, we should strive to become obsolete (in our current roles. Of course you can always pick up a new skill)
The push toward PMF has been really great for the industry and really helped avoid wasting a ton of cash.

The only argument AGAINST it rally is when a team has a proven track record and already KNOWS how to find PMF and knows that it has value.

PMF is amazing when you do it right. With http://datastreamer.io we were actually a meme tracking app (similar to hacker news) but what ended up happening is that people basically said "hey, that's cool and all but we really just want to license your blog data crawling platform".

At the time I was thinking that I could just use the licensing sales to continue developing the meme tracking app.

At some point it just dawned on me that we had 10-15 customers and that it was the tail wagging the dog so I dropped the meme tracking app entirely and then focused on the crawling and data licensing component.

For Polar, https://getpolarized.io/, (which is something new I'm working on) I needed it for my own personal use as my document collection was getting out of hand and I need some way to manage annotations. I wanted something close to an IDE where I could keep all my books and web content tagged and in one place.

Initially I was worried that there might not even be a market - even as just an OSS product.

We've been soft launching for about 2 weeks now as an MVP and the results have been really fantastic.

The app is definitely not complete - not by a long shot. There are pretty clear holes in the app. For example, I shipped it without the ability to delete books - which is kind of important.

If your customers are willing to put up with a feature incomplete and a broken app and are interacting with you and requesting new features and suggesting bug fixes - well you might be on to something.

I think the trick is realizing the minimum viable product that you need to ship to measure this and then iterate from there.

If you keep iterating on an MVP that people are actually USING you will eventually hit PMF and then take off.

None of this is new though.. the whole lean startup space talks about this excessively.

Nice website. Here are some thoughts/observations/ideas:

1) There are a lot of similar websites, and usually, when I am looking for inspiration, I just google something like "landing page design template" or something and look into the first results. Do you have a plan to make Landub stand out?

2) If I understood correctly, if no screenshot is provided (for a new submission), then you automatically generate one? If so, it would be nice to directly show the generated screenshot so that the user can decide if it needs to be changed or not.

Also, once a screenshot is selected, there seems to be no way to change it (without reload the submission page). (It's a detail but it would be nice to add this possibility).

3) On the submission form, you ask for "Features or sections included inside the landing page", which IMO is a very interesting search criterion. Though I don't see it on the front-page. Are you planning to add it?

On a different note, do you blog about your 12in12 journey somewhere?
The original source is here [1] at Ben Jones’s site (he’s a co-author). The HBR article is naturally a popular summary, but the underlying research seems to cover everything people are curious about in the threads so far (distribution of age, what was the criteria for high-growth, etc.).

Like most NBER articles, it’s quite long, but you can skip to the end for the figures and get a lot out of it. Figure 1 is the main thing being reported, but I found Figure 4B to be the most important: founders over 30 have a higher likelihood of success.

Sigh, this guy again. He is not a real security researcher, but obviously a novice learning about programming and decompiling. That is fine, except he keeps making outlandish and wrong accusations. He kept doing the same thing to OnePlus, until he basically got laughed away by real security researchers. Something to keep in mind as you read...
Why only backend? You are competing with other solutions out there that have a frontend available directly from db schema. Some examples:
https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/
https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin

I am not totally clear who your target customers are. I think backend alone will be a barrier for a non-technical person. For a developer, as said by others, CRUD/authentication usually isn't the most time consuming part.

With that said, congrats on shipping! I know this is a work in progress. I think your landing page needs more work/content too. Good luck!
Yes and no. MSG is what gives food that amazing umami flavor. It's in more foods than we realize. It's the same as adding any other spice. It's important to revert to a scientific approach to understanding why something shouldn't be in food.
This was back in 2012 that I started working again. I just looked at Craigslist and got lucky when I saw an ad that was the intersection of my previous 2 positions. Applied there, got it, and stayed for a bit more than 3 years.

My background is writing/marketing though so it’s not like my skills were particularly out of date.

No! That is not at all a fair read, even if you take the statement at face value, which nobody does. What they're saying is that they audited the application, found a vulnerability, and then re-evaluated the project in light of its importance to the company and commercial prospects, and decided that the work required to keep maintaining and securing it to the standard they had set for themselves --- again, a standard far higher than most tech companies --- wasn't justified by the returns they'd get on the investment. Better to stop doing it at all than to gradually slide into doing it half-assed.
In other news, they can CONSTRUCT fake videos and photos. Not take away only.

We will need digital signatures to become mainstream for checking sources. Otherwise video evidence for a courtroom or court of public opinion will be very dangerous to rely on!

And “detection” is a no-go because this arms race is like an AlphaGo situation where the difference between the truth and a fake becomes so small that no one will be able to tell.
Yes, I know the debt ceiling isn't in the constitution. My point is that when faced with a legal limit to borrowing Congress always voids it. It would have happened a long time ago if the restriction was constitutional in nature.

this is a huge wall of text and I haven't necessarily read it all because I'm tired (I'll bookmark this I swear) but the case mentioned is a person with repeated persistent confirmed-by-lots-of-people manipulative bad behavior with at least two independent rape accusations on top of that.

If you're building a purely general purpose instance or a free speech themed one it's fine to not block this sort of instance.

It's okay to have this "net split". It's a system of curation. It encourages smaller instances.

Mastodon is also heavily used by minority / LGBT communities that deal with abuse and harassment a lot, often for merely existing. And often a "free speech" instance or worse a "no moderation" instance will attract that sort of person.
All of those excerpts refer to breaches, not vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities aren't breaches, either in common parlance or as a term of art.

The distinction the GDPR is making here is between intrusions that don't include exfiltration of data (ie, what happens when most teenager hackers break into something for the sport of it) and those that do.

Journalists and content marketers not writing articles full od lies about food in popular media would be a good start.
I agree and I think professionals in most industries are frustrated with their customers as customers are becoming more educated and discerning. This seems reasonable and inevitable. From freelancers to fortune 500s like General Mills they're basically saying, "Why won't people just take what we give them?"

I think the answer is actually pretty simple, the producer (be it food, software, hardware, home goods, etc) often compromises quality, security, health, etc for the sake of a little more profit.

To some degree, they're right... they are usually the expert and what they make will be better than what the customer wants in some ways (ex. longer shelf life). But of course consumers are more aware of this dynamic, and they're pushing back for more of the quality, health, etc.

So ya, I agree... the market should decide a lot of where that line will be drawn. Many of these ingredients may not be proven to be unhealthy, but I think people are starting to realize how much we also don't know. While sensitivity to a certain ingredient may not have been found in a 2,000 candidate study, maybe it does affect 1 in 2001. If there are better alternatives, then that might be a worthy exploration. The producer who finds a better alternative will have a market advantage.

Of course, where it is discovered that an ingredient or a process is high risk (such as trans fats) then I think it's reasonable for the FDA to regulate it.
People are about as smart as they have always been. The world is just getting more complicated around them.
> Every Chinese company is at least partially owned, controlled, or heavily influenced by the Chinese government.

This is absolutely not true.
That's a very federalist viewpoint. Many Germans would undoubtably view it as a working political institution - that is, they don't want to have to bail out the Italians, they never agreed to that, and in fact insisted on budget clauses and agreements in various treaties (which they then themselves violated but in the 'right' direction, but even so).

For your view to be correct everyone has to be totally on board with perma-bailouts of profligate states. They are not.
It can be frustrating to read HN sometimes when it feels like you're the only one making under 200k. I do wonder how many engineers realize how astonishingly well paid they are compared to, say, their kid's teacher.

Congrats on the release. As someone whose day job is elixir but whose side project passion right now is rust, a high performance, strongly typed, actor model language like Pony is right up my alley.

My one hang up right now is the other half of the elixir magic: OTP. In particular supervision trees and genservers.

While Pony has an actor model and message passing for concurrency, I wasn't able to find anything OTP-like. What's more, I read some things that it was even impossible to express in the language since there's no mechanism to block and wait for a message. Is this true? Are there any plans down the line for support of this?
Side projects are deadweight to employability, if you aren't following best practices when you're doing them.

I wasn't great a sports, but one lesson that stuck with me was practice how you plan to play. You only get better if you actively practice writing good code. As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "joint" table. However, join tables are pretty common, and fairly important in database development. Join tables are really useful for constructing relations. Even a company with 3,000 employees needs to be mindful of the efficiency of their code.

Another thing that you mention that is concerning is that you've worked on hundereds of things this year. There's not enough time in the day to work on hundereds of things in a year with any sort of depth beyond copying and pasting from Stack Overflow or blog tutorials.

Employeers are looking for skills demonstrated intentionally, and some specialization in something that they need. You spend more time cleaning up after generalist "rock stars" than someone who has a defined focus.
Of course humans also took it upon themselves to define what "best ability to survive" is.

Not saying that that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's certainly a difference between GMO and regular evolved food.

Edit: Well, thinking about it a bit more, of course selective breeding is humans picking what "best ability to survive" is as well...

A guy at work thought msg was a neurotoxin. I'm like, "uh, no, it's an amino acid,a normal constituent of every protein you eat..." This is a guy with a master's in a technical field. I honestly don't know how we got here.
I'm all for conspiracy theories, but we have to use some reasoning here. I don't doubt the food industry does this, but the reality is there's a happy middle ground. Maybe that middle ground could be using common names for things. Food science has made food cheaper and more accessible and that's a good thing. Our food isn't killing us. We are healthier and living longer than ever in history. I do think people who are marketing more expensive food that is marked up tremendously due to an unscientific reason are the real beneficiaries here.
The EU institutions invariably ignore treaties the moment they become problematic to the further progress of the EU project. It doesn't matter what the Maastrict treaty says - if the political will is there to print euros to bail out Italy it will happen, if there isn't, it won't.

Consider what happened last time the treaties forbade bailouts:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-lagarde-idUSTRE6BH...

“We violated all the rules because we wanted to close ranks and really rescue the euro zone,” Lagarde was quoted as saying.

“The Treaty of Lisbon was very straight-forward. No bailout.”

The summit approved a two-sentence amendment to the treaty at Germany’s behest to permit the creation of a European Stability Mechanism to handle financial crises from 2013.

There are periodic (finite-volume, homogeneous) hyperbolic spaces.

Did they? That would be weird because MPEG standards are almost always subject to patents.
