> I'd love to see more successful people in charge of who gets funded and who does not.

On the other hand, a successful startup founder has seen one story. Let's say they went from founding to exit in 10 years. They know everything there is to know about their company, their market, and their specific journey. A lot of that is execution. Some of it is also luck (timing, uncontrolled variables like competitors screwing up or incumbents moving slowly or whatever.)

That focus is great for the success of a single company, but investing isn't like that. There isn't one story. What worked for Airbnb or Dropbox or Gusto might be what the company in front of you needs to do. It also might be the worst thing for them to focus on.

So having a wide range of experiences to pull from—whether that is working at companies in various industries, advising founders at different stages and/or around different issues (hiring, product strategy, technical architecture, etc.)—and thinking through a wide range of problem might be a better background for investing.

VCs don't dive deep on a single company and devote everything to it. They have to be more flexible. Their "founder/market fit" isn't one market, it's a meta-level above that.

None of this is to discount the experience or expertise or value of successful founders (that would be absurd) but just to say that it may not be the case that the most successful founders would be the best VCs. It may actually be the opposite!

For parallels, the best players in many sports are horrible coaches, owners, general managers, etc. The "smartest" people in academia are rarely the best teachers. They are different skillsets. The important thing is to match the skillset of the individual with the role. "Successful company founder" sounds like it would be close, since that's what you want—more successful company founders—but what you actually need is a bit different.
Atomic CSS was used on Yahoo sites, since the Marissa Meyer level. Apparently on a few of their properties. Hard to assess whether it was a failure or not. Considering their websites were a negative asset, I doubt the use of Atomic CSS was a major component of that, there were definitely bigger problems.
I have different take on brexit.

It is more on being against fat guys getting fatter in EU and bureaucracy. Where people from national governments are bought by EU guys with high paid jobs in EU parlament. It is not going to be good for a lot of people but it is about principles and those guys in EU parlament doing stupid things that go against local interests.

There should be some balance, I take with my hands as much as I can from unified market because I live ad work in different country than I was born. But I am totally against corrupt politicians doing weird deals. If it will cost me job and life in country I am in so be it, I will go back to my country. But arrangement I have now does not need EU, it could be just countries getting together without additional layer of management without astronomic money going to some politicians.

I'm actually super excited about printing maps in sorted order. I have a CLI use case for this.

When I need a real language with a fleshed out type system I use Rust, but Go has been great for writing small CLIs and things where I'm the only developer. It's also been great for small fan out tasks. I do wish flags had a way to do subcommands that didn't involve a lot of boilerplate.

The most unfortunate part for me is that Apple's service apps like Apple Music are pretty awful to use. Their stock Music app on iOS takes far too many taps to do anything, is buggy, and overall not a great experience.

The same is true on my MacBook, the only way for me to use Apple Music is through iTunes, a complete dumpster fire of an app on OSX. Apple Music is an otherwise fantastic service, but it is hobbled by terrible UX.

I don't know, do they? If they do, then your premise is correct and there's enough benefit in negotiating in groups that it's worthwhile. If there aren't, then it's either a) the "economist sees a 20 on the ground and immediately assumes it's fake because someone else would have picked it up otherwise" or b) your premise is wrong and having a large HR department doesn't make a difference in your plan costs and pricing.

The real answer is that they do exist. I used Oscar for a year and their plans were actually by either United Healthcare or Aetna (I don't remember anymore) and the premiums were less and the quality was identical to what I had through a company provided insurance later. There's also Justworks that does something similar, though they're more of a full HR service provider.

Personally, I find FaceID to be vastly inferior to TouchID for many of my regular use cases.

Perhaps the worst one is that you cannot easily unlock your phone while it lays on a conference room table to see the contents of a message. You need to picking it up and point it at your face. Likewise when using the phone while it is in a stand/holder.

The one and only benefit I found is during the winter, it is easier to unlock the phone with gloves on.

Both of them are terrible for security.

This is partly the reason why Berkshire Hathaway is now the largest owner of Apple stock. They believe that Apple has a 'moat' they can use to defend their position. It think they are correct.

What can always happen is that they fail to see change coming and drop the ball like Nokia did. They had incredible moat in multiple areas: manufacturing, supply chain, technology and scale. They were able to produce high quality phones with the same cost as cheap brands and pocketed the difference in profits but they didn't see the revolution coming.

The future of Apple's growth is pivot to services and rent from platform.

The market share of Linux is somewhat pointless here, since this share comes mostly from Android and from a user's (and app developers) perspective there is not much Linux specific in Android. Goggle's plan to replace Android with Fuchsia makes clear that Android is not so much about Linux.

Which characteristics do you consider distinctive? I think of capacitive touch with no keyboard, but such phones did exist. Costs for those kinds of screens had been coming down before the iphone launched. It was obvious we'd see more capacitive screen phones before the iphone launch, though Apple certainly accelerated it.

The problem is using "trending" as a content discovery algorithm in the first place.

"Trending" just means that the topic is being referenced by the largest volume of accounts. Even if you can say with certainty that every one of your accounts represents an actual, legitimate person, you still have the problem that all "trending" does is surface content that's preferred by whichever of your users can mobilize the biggest angry mob. And if you can't say that with certainty (which bot-flooded Twitter absolutely cannot), "trending" becomes a wide open battlefield, trivially subject to exploitation by whoever has the largest budget for sock puppets.

"Trending" isn't an editorial strategy. It is the abdication of editorial strategy. It's being asked by Twitter among others to do much more than it is capable of doing, and their users suffer as a result.
But I think if you know nix well enough then making some strange setup work might end up a better long term solution that the ubuntu, no? I.e you put in the time upfront in researching how the thing wants it at build time, and then you have the infrastructure ready should the thing change its mind in future versions. Making it build in some less flexible context can become a lot more hackish down the line.

Show HN: Techspeak – Generate random sentences that contain tech words
At scale, the priority is isolation of components. This allows things to be composed, moved, etc. without affecting each other.

We accomplish this in our web app (over 500 kloc) by simply giving each component’s top-level element a unique, formulaic, memorable CSS class (which is very easy to do with SASS/SCSS). And each component gets its own CSS (or .scss) file, HTML file, JS file(s), and I18n directory. The app loads each component’s CSS when that component is loaded at run time (which could be during startup or later). I just don’t see how one could get more straightforward than this for a large app.

We do have some classes that are included in the base-level stylesheets and shared among components, but we only use those when it would result in less code than not, or when necessary for themeing.

It may take a lot of effort to build this kind of architecture, but once you’re there it’s a breeze to create, compose, and maintain UI components.
Lol, design is not my forte. I tried!

Btw, really great write up - I think you did a great job explaining the process of solving problems in Clojure.

This is the right approach, IMHO. Let me run local apps like video rendering and transcoding using all cores, but let me mark anything that has Internet access as only executing on a dedicated core.

Apple's new hardware approach might work well for this: on the A12X chip used by the new iPad Pro, they have 4 high performance cores and 4 low power cores. Let Chrome have a couple low power cores, and that solves a few problems:

1. I get security isolation between Chrome and the rest of my apps.
2. I no longer care very much when poorly written javascript wants to consume 100% of CPU because it's only running on a low power core.
3. My battery life is also better because Chrome can't consume a high power core.
Part of the problem with the Mac is that Intel has been slow to make progress. Particularly when it comes to faster low-power chips, Moore's Law has been failing us for some time now.

How long till Apple start putting their A-series chips in Macs?

I used to believe in this before the Ethereum DAO thing happened, which made me realize: cryptocurrencies sell themselves on "decentralization" yet by the nature of the technology, anyone with access to sufficient resources can gain control of the system. There's nothing to stop this from happening at any point in the future of any cryptocurrency... and it's insane to think that any sort of currency that needs to be forked repeatedly and without warning will catch on with normal users. I'm no cryptocurrency hater or anything and the idea appeals to me at a deep level but I have a hard time seeing the tech as it currently exists working in practice in human society.
I imagine applying this to a video will perhaps be better than the stills, motion helps to hide errors.
A few quick thoughts:

>What the F is an iPhone XR? Is the XS "better" than the X or not?

Somewhat agree about the XR, though I guess the idea is it's one less than an S, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say their "S" naming scheme has been consistent since it was introduced after the iPhone 4.

> Why are there 2 iPad Pros?

Steve once said netbooks were dead, then released a laptop in exactly that form factor (11 in MBA). Clearly there was market demand for it, and I assume their must be demand for both sizes here as well.

> Is an iPad 4 better than an iPad?

Agree here, they've changed this particular convention a lot, but looks like we're settling on Pro and base.

> Not to mention the dongles, USB-C mess, etc

Very much agree here. I really, really hope dongle hell will be a short lived phenomenon and USB-C adoption in peripherals and the rest of the industry picks up. Apple has been right about big bets like this before, so hopefully here too, but right now, it is definitely a mess.
edit: Apple isn't the best choice.
(previously: I think it's increasingly obvious that for everyone except osx stans, it's not the best choice available)

and it hasn't been for a long time. Apple was at their peak imo with the MacBook pro a generation or two back. They took out the disk drive (everyone said that was radical, but hadn't used it in years) and worked with the single piece of aluminum. Nowadays, that's not just familiar, it's pedestrian. There's plenty of options in the PC world that have that. What has apple done since? Removed magsafe and usb a??? Made the worst laptop keyboard to be on a flagship in memory?

It used to be that Apple was the only place you could get great design, a phenomenal screen, and good battery life in the same package. But other manufacturers (especially Dell, Lenovo, and Microsoft) have seriously stepped up.

There's an adaptation question too for foods in the ancestral environment, not just in the last 10k years. What are the selection pressures? If you make it to about 50 as a woman, you're done with even the possibility of reproducing. So all you really need is a tolerance of whatever local food you have until you're that old; if long term exposure messes you up at 60 it doesn't matter. For someone today, wanting to extend their life as long as possible, there is probably a lot in the ancestral / paleo food range you should still avoid, and probably some foods only made possible with technology that provide superior long term outlooks.

Yeah, that's a click-baity headline; but they're not wrong. There's a shift from the "line up at dawn for the new Apple Dingus" to an arguably more stable "tic-toc" upgrade cycle, with hopefully some Apple Music and iCloud subscriptions thrown in. That's where I'm at right now. Both of us are still on iPhone 6s. I have an iPad from last year that I expect to last a few more. Hers is the generation prior, and will get replaced when iOS no longer supports it (or I upgrade). Newest Mac is from 2012. Now, part of it is "good enough". The new phones aren't so outstanding as to warrant an upgrade, the 6s does the jobs we need just fine. Part of it is "there's nothing to buy"; see: laptops. But Apple still gets money for Apple Music, iCloud, and whatever we get off iTunes.

But as for the click-bait headline, we both just bought our first Apple Watches, the Series 4. Strap one of those puppies on your wrist for a day and talk to me about "used to be an inventor". (Side note: AAPL might not have sold us phones for a while, but they did "invent" a watch that we'd buy. They still got our hardware money.)
This is completely unfair! It is not that the pace of innovation at Apple has slowed down, it is that the success of their innovative products is dwarfed by their legacy business. The Apple watch would be a game changer in terms of revenue for Apple circa 2003 (when it was presumably innovative). It is still an excellent and innovative product, like AirPods.
I think that's mostly a market segmentation measure given the timing, though in a sense you're right since it does protect consumers. They do have SMT enabled on most laptop processors, too. I worry that they'll have a hard time getting all they can out of the full width of Haswell and later chips without SMT.
The word you probably intended to use is languish instead of vanquish.
I agree with you for the most part, but fear of psychedelics by political leaders is bigger than scoring points. What can be a miracle cure for individuals with various mental illnesses can have a similarly potent impact on "healthy" minds and result in radical changes in how we view the world and each other... In ways that could threaten the political status quo. On the one hand it sounds wonderful to me-- on the other, potentially quite dangerous and disruptive.

Please stop propagating this falsehood, or at least accept that it comes with caveats. Biometric ID on Apple devices is likely to be a significant improvement for many users.
They've definitely failed at saying 'no' - no to selling last years model as a budget, no to selling 2 different sizes of the same phone, they've lost their mojo in saying "this is the best product available if you're looking for an everyday driver and don't need all the RAM in the world", or, "this is the best product available if you're running Final Cut Pro on the road"

To your point, you can actually buy 2 different Macbook Airs from their official shop, clicking through the glossy introduction of the one released last week, 5th generation i5 or 8th generation i5 with TouchID, slim bezel, USB C etc
From the company perspective, in the former case the company no longer exists, while in the latter case the likely will not exist in the future.

The customers get screwed in either case, but the reason people are incredulous about Diaspora's DB wipe is because it's the company screwing itself.
I recommend Haskell over Clojure, because it will really expand and bend your mind. (I take as context your asking this question.)

Then, I recommend Common Lisp over Clojure, because that has a lot of things that are uncommon even decades after standardization.

Finally, for a practical, day-to-day driver language, Clojure is really good. It's a personal go-to for any server side coding I have to do. (I rarely do front end work and have no preferences there beyond Unity if it is a game.)

My issue with Apple is they continue to hold product launch events as if they've invented a new class of product(s), when they are incremental changes at best (with the exception of the ECG on the Apple Watch.) With the resources Apple has, they should be taking more risks. Tim has basically turned Apple into a boring incremental product company...like a traditional car company. New model year, this model is the best we've ever made...sure, fine but don't pretend that you've created something groundbreaking at every launch event.
I promise you, this isn't predominantly leftists using said hashtag.
I agree with all of that.
They're only irrelevant if it's true that the loan guarantees are only in place because of lobbying from lenders. It's not--but you've stated you think it is, so the distinction is valid if I accept that as true.

If it's actually the case that these loan guarantees were put in place by well-intentioned people with the same goals and ideas that you have, then the blame may be better placed elsewhere. And that might prompt some retrospection as we consider larger and wider-ranging initiatives proposed based on the same world views.
Any cloud provider with sufficient security doesn't allow customers to share SMT cores anyway. For example, AWS hard partitions their physical servers, which is why you can get exactly 16 m4.xlarge instances, 8 m4.2xlarge, 4 m4.4xlarge, 2 m4.8xlarge, or 1 m4.16xlarge instances on a physical box.

I do predict that the VPS providers will see some nasty side-channel attacks in the coming years due to the way they've chosen to share SMT between customers to reduce their costs and overprovision their hardware.
Note that they said nothing about being sorry for being a platform that facilitates hate, just that it showed up as a topic.
