I’m a resident of Hanover and have been to every Cebit in the last ten years.

The fall was inevitable. You could feel that Cebit was struggling to attract visitors and wasn’t sure what it’s identity was. I feel like they should have focused more on the Global Conference Series where they always had very interesting talks lined up but the entry fee for that (You had to buy a separate ticket for that) was far to high imo.

It was customary to get some friends and stroll along the massive fair grounds when it was still focused more towards consumers and we always had a great time. I could split off to check out actual booths that interested me and most even had competent people who actually knew their product and could talk about it. I feel like that changed right around the time Cebit decided to only cater towards businesses. Instead of knowledgeable people you now had to deal with pretty ladies who knew nothing and PR folks who wouldn’t tell you anything else than how great their product/service is. Before you could get answers to technical questions that could not get answered by visiting their website and have a discussion with people who actually worked on the product.

Last year was especially dull; nearly every booth I visited was just handing out flyers with links to their websites. I tried to have some discussion to get to know whatever they were promoting but it was near impossible. I had the all-day event ticket but after the first day of scouting booths quickly decided that it wasn’t worth my time and only attended three talks from the Global Conferences after that. I was planning on only visiting the latter this year and don’t waste my time on the actual fair. I’m not to sad to see it come to an end but have kind memories of what it once was.
Don't really get the point of this article... Especially on hn. To me it sounds very passive aggressive to be honest.
A T-mobile family plan with unlimited data (throttled after 2GB) comes out to ~$25/month. If that didn't exist, I'd look into Google Fi.
I disagree about startups not leaving it up for a year. I have seen plenty that do exactly that. I don't know what the motivation is but I'm guessing they just want to fish for their pipeline. And they don't need someone next week.
Looking at it, I'd call it a new language, not a Scheme implementation. Its semantics are much different from Scheme's.
Yes the heating elements are flexible and are easy to damage and they carry current at mains potential. Neither of those outcomes favour failing safe. Even the best quality unheated wires carrying current don't last that long mechanically speaking. Add heat and the decay happens quicker.

Humans are pretty good at warming a cold bed. Sucks for the first ten minutes though.
Amazing! Curious about whether you faced an issue with latency? What if two people are concurrently editing the same item on the whiteboard with high latency?
Oh, wait, 'free' (throttled?) after 6GB. That's where the 'deal' comes in. Still, 6GB is about right for us. I'm sure if I shopped around I could do better, but last time ATT gave me a 'deal' they lied to me about saving my BYOD pricing and suddenly I was paying $40 per line for phones I paid $700+ for.
Except for now.
This person doesn't know a thing about Angular and he is benchmarking it?! Angular is not loading the whole RxJS and I doubt AOT was setted properly.

This is a misleading paper again. I would like that 3 experts on each framework do their best to provide the same app and then we could compare.
sorry for posting twice in this thread but i figure it's a good place to ask: what other methods are there for getting a nn to report "i don't know"
I definitely agree with this. It looks very good on paper but the implementation is often just as difficult as developing your own groundstation. I used to work in mission operations at a small commercial satellite company and we looked at using a service such as the one Amazon is expecting to provide still required installing additional satcom modems and equipment at the groundstation.

That said, there was significant difficulty in getting a dedicated groundstation due to real estate and licensing issues. So I think that it is still an attractive option for those who may not be able to furnish their own ground station depending on the constraints of the mission.
Mmmh, that face looks familiar. He used to work at Microsoft, right? I remember reading a couple of his blog posts, and they as funny as they were interesting.

But he is so much better in person.
Ah true. I guess I personally do not use a font with ligatures so it didn't really come to mind.

Subpixel renderering with shaders is a neat idea, is it something that has been done before?

You may think you are preventing a secondary market in the tokens themselves by means of the retina scan, but once the tokens are exchanged for goods it's almost inevitable that a secondary market will develop (prisoners use anything from noodles[0] to cans of tuna fish[1] as their 'currency').

There will also be theft, it just will be of goods, not tokens.

A cynic might think that the NGOs and governments will just dismiss these issues as the refugees' problem. "We saw that all funds were distributed to the correct recipient. because blockchain!"

Life will find a way. It's not always the way you expect.

I think this is highly dependent on the context you are in. An Italian friend of mine lived for a year in a tiny fisherman community isolated in an island in northern Brazil a decade ago. He told me that after a couple of months we got this full perspective of things as he knew 100% of people, their pains and joys, dreams and realities.

Looking at the other side of the spectrum, what are the chances of an immigrant to achieve the same level of perspective after living for a year in Manhattan?

I believe it is a more productive -- and joyful -- exercise to think about the role you want to have in the context you belong to.

what cracks me up is I got downvoted but I'm pretty I'm right. Over on Ars people are excited about Google Fi.. which.. you know.. is just feeding even more data to the machine.. but hey it's Google and they said "Do No Evil" twenty years ago.
> He used to work at Microsoft, right?

Yes, same guy.
Amazon will soon. HIPAA will be ignored, broken, spit on. There will be no opt out or privacy. I guarantee it.
I'd be surprised if AWS/Google/Azure accounted for more than low digit % of all "hosting".

Last hard numbers I saw, Amazon was the single largest by # of servers, but OVH wasn't too far behind. There's thousands of these worldwide, most older than any cloud provider. Some of the more well known: OVH, Rackspace, Softlayer, Hetzner, Hivelocity, Online.net and on and on.

Add to that people doing their own infrastructure (Apple, Facebook, Google, ...). Companies doing huge colo and on premise (banks, governments). Then consider even larger providers and telcos: AT&T (where WoW was hosted, might still be), Telefonica, Equinix (which I believe AWS was merely a customer of in Singapore at some point), ...

That still leaves VPS, shared hosting, and whatever you want to call DO/Linode/Packet/Vultr.
The thermodynamic point of view is a description of the system as a macroscopic state.
10$/GB is way too expensive
Compare:
- ATT unlocked pay as you go you get 8GB with ROLLOVER for 40$ a month (autopay)
- TMobile for 40$ per month you get 10GB (not sure about rollover)

This service seems very niche and only for international travellers.
It's the ownership that matters. Ownership matters because that is where the decision making and control is. Verily is a 100% owned subsidiary. If Alphabet decided to amalgamate Google with Verily, could they? Can Alphabet pull money out of Verily? Can Alphabet decide to shut down Verily? Yes, in all cases. Who does Verily CEO report to? Your claim that it a separate, stand-alone company is false.
There are a wide variety of experiences to be had at the academy.
That's assuming you don't do any server side rendering right?

I can send completely readable html over the wire that becomes interactive once the JS finishes loading.

What am I missing.
I think this is a very uncharitable view of the situation. Some coffee shops don't want to pivot into coworking spaces and that's okay. Personally I think it's a match made in heaven since a day pass at a nice coworking space is around $10 which is like two drinks but I get that some businesses would prefer to just sell coffee.

The average American spends too much time at work to not have some sort of social, not 100% related to work, activities and groups that they can be apart of.

As a black employee I'm very plugged in the employee resource group for black employees at my organization. I've been able to give back to the local community through volunteering, develop mentee and mentor relationships through this network and develop a sense that there are folks who are not connected to my day to day work that 'have my back', it definitely helps with retention.

A coworker of mine is very involved with the Indian ERG, and another sings choir with the Christian ERG on Wednesdays.

These sorts of groups get a lot of flak from folks who don't think these groups should exist or that companies should not focus on "diversity", but at the end of the day they provide an infrastructure that communities can build on, and that's very important.

Even when I'm having a terrible day, walking through the hallway and having a quick chat with someone who've I've met through these networks is extremely valuable.

I'd recommend anyone who feels loneliness at work to take a look at what ERGs your company may have established, not all of them are tied to a racial, religious, or sexual identity. The maker group at my employer is pretty big and active last I checked.

I don't want to waste my own time on an activity I actively despise.

I am perfectly willing to apply to a posting with missing requirements, right up until I have to create an account to apply, chop up my resume into pieces, and paste the bits into form boxes. That's when I say, "screw this, it wasn't a close match anyway".

If the application process is "attach resume document to an email" then I might even spend some extra time on the cover email, explaining why am applying without being a 100% match for the requirements.

The difference is the expectation of a payoff. That application management system is going to automatically filter out mismatches, and making me do all the work to disqualify myself as a candidate. The email might get read by an actual person with an interest in the outcome.
I've met a couple of good friends at work. I think good leadership fosters the human soul and the value of the individual as an engine for productivity.

That said, truly good leadership is a rare thing.
Mixing money and family/friends sounds like it will end horribly. What happens when you don't break even and you need to fire people?
The concept of Loop is basically yet-another-repackaging of personal rapid transit. And the operational history of personal rapid transit has essentially shown that it sounds good in theory but doesn't work that well in practice.

The real problem is that the suburban ideal of detached single-family homes combined with low-density commercial parks is not an environmentally-friendly way of living, and when you try to scale it up, what you get is an unavoidable mess of traffic that has no real solution. If you care about moving people, the first thing you want to do is get people out of their cars; and that means that you need to concentrate one of the endpoints (invariably workplaces) to allow people to walk to their destination at that point. The land use policies are going to have to change if you want to be environmentally-friendly, and anyone who promises a way around that is selling you a fantasy.

I think most people call them extended regular expressions.
I applaud the kid for taking the jump into entrepreneurship at a young age. The one thing I think young entrepreneurs like him make is never working in industry/corporate/working for multiple startups before they start their own. You need to walk before you run. Its like apprenticeship, you go to a company/companies and learn how processes work, learn what efficiency means, learn how decisions get made, learn different ways of management or how different CEO's run a company, etc. I wish the OP best of luck, dont get to down in the dumps, you are only 22 and have already had an acquisition, and employed 15 people!
"keep in mind you might want to move some of those to a "nice to have" category"

I would add be more general if possible. Someone with 5 years of postgres sql will pick up sql server pretty quickly. So maybe just: Relational Database experience. Somebody who has used 5 different ui frameworks will pick up the whichever you use pretty quickly. So perhaps: Web UI development. Etc.
Thanks for writing that.

Yeah, Canadian cell plans were a shock coming from the UK. I'm paying 50$ for 5GB and unlimited calls/texts with Freedom, but that only works for me as I spend most of my time in Vancouver.

I used to write all my static sites using Hugo, until I saw a site that was built using Gatsby. Gatsby has a larger overhead on the initial page load but feels much faster and subsequent page loads have less overhead (or maybe more, if it's prefetching a lot of adjacent pages which you'll never navigate to).

It seems to me that the next logical step is a site that ships the initial page request in vanilla JS, then async loads react and then async fetches the overhead and then runs Gatsby. This would be the ideal if we're optimizing for perceived latency. So the first page load is fast, then as long as you stay on that page for a second or two before clicking elsewhere, everything after that point will be snappy too.

Ofcourse, many other devs are optimizing for network usage, etc, so to each their own.
>> we’d like to have a PostgreSQL and a MongoDB for GIS...<<

You can use Postgres for GIS too
I'm not surprised that Angular ships a larger bundle than React and Vue, it intentionally covers a much larger surface area of functionality. But Angular also includes build tools meant to reduce the size of the final bundle - can anyone tell if those were used in this comparison?
Seems like many small things that can make life easier.

I was always searching for the major killer feature, hehe.
This looked quite cool, 15 years ago.
But if you never owned a mac.. too bad :P

I mean, I've always been around a high density of Macs and later MBPs (from ~2008 on) but I've also never seen people really use it. I guess it's because most coworkers in the office had the project's/company's standard IDE.

> I still think it's important to get out of your home and go to a simple place frequently, nature would probably be a good option too.

Agreed.
It's unreasonable, but standard.

It's the same in Canada: a Rogers data only plan is $60 CAD for first 5GB and $20 CAD for each 10GB after that...
They almost got this perfect, except for no thunderbolt and 8GB ram...

Can't you just mount them on a wall or ceiling?

Otherwise you can do lots of good by just putting down rugs or hanging woven artwork. Plants work too
The really silly thing is that it's 2018 and the browser vendors still refuse to implement name based constraints on certificate authorities. It should be perfectly reasonable for a local, single domain CA to be generated and installed with the application. Instead we treat every CA as worthy to handle every domain always.
Agreed 100% and as someone who has had to use DDB before, nothing would make me happier than seeing this built.
Links to those, and other videos of talks he's done, are available here: https://mickens.seas.harvard.edu/wisdom-james-mickens

For anyone who isn't familiar with him, you should definitely check them out.
Then you should gather your own data and independently draw your own conclusions.

In my experience selective bias cannot be avoided unless you remove humans from the initial selection process. It is also my experience that potential in a given field is a predictable quality not discerned from resumes.
> Also, I agree that raising kids may be something that is more difficult that you additionally have to do (all the other things have no correlation with age), but some of the replies here come off to me like that one jacked dude in the gym giving the newbies stick for being weak. At their current musculature, they are doing the best they can. Difficulty levels are relative.

The author picked the fight. People are dismissing what he's saying because writing that makes him come across as self-aggrandising. As a result, people are making a judgement call that the guy probably doesn't have much to offer.

To continue with your gym analogy, it's like some weedy guy walking into a gym and telling all the jacked guys that they're exercising wrong and he can teach them better form. That may in fact be true - being able to teach form doesn't require you to be jacked, and vice versa. But more than likely this person is talking out their ass.

I'm 23 and when I read that sentence it totally turned me off the article, the author seemed like a tool, and I completely agree with all the 30-40 yr olds in this thread saying the same thing.
The main conclusion from this article isn't accurate. This is one reason to load common libraries from a known CDN so that if any website has downloaded that library version previously, and the user's cache has not been cleared or expired, the next time that library can just be loaded from cache, even if from a different website.

The ones that were listed as optional? Because often even if they're listed as required they're not (which is the point of the article). For instance, wanting someone to start right away, even though the listing has been open for a year... probably flexible.
My Master thesis supervisor had a fun trick for this, that can be used not only on on NNs, but also on other classifiers: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1011.3177.pdf

The gist is, you train a single classifier that will work as two classifiers (with certain restrictions): one that says "false/not-false" and another that says "true/not-true".

If the output of the classifier is "not-false" and "not-true", then you consider that as a "I don't know".
Sounds like you got a rare deal, everything I'm seeing online says it's $70-$40 per line depending on how many lines you have.
I provide good references, connections to other employers, and generous severance to help soften the landing. I have done this before at a business in my early 20s during M&A events.

All employment is temporary. Remember, my goal is to operate a business to spend time with those whose company I enjoy, not to be ridiculously successful.
Its expensive but has some benefits that other carriers dont.

Works in 100+ countries for that price. I have Fi but live in Canada and travel and work in the US. Canadian phone plans are even more expensive and US roaming can add $30+ a month to a plan. Fi gives me $10/GB in Canada where I use very little data (work from home so always on wifi) and then $10/GB in the US without extra roaming options.

There is a data bill cap at $60 or 6GB of data. Once you hit $60 you still get full speed data up to 15GB then it throttles down.

$10/GB is great for variable data use. Some months I use 500MB so the bill is cheap. Other months I hit 4GB, bill is more but then I dont have to pay for data I am not using.

No charge data only SIM cards. I have three extra SIM cards that cost me nothing. One for an LTE hotspot, one for my wifes iPhone while in the US and a third that I will use for a backup LTE connection. They cost me nothing but the data used.
Could you give some insight into young companies/startups that are not seeking to ethical or are corrupt? That seems like a super broad statement.

I love his work! Here's his page at Harvard that collects all of it: https://mickens.seas.harvard.edu/wisdom-james-mickens
One thing it should be noted with Angular is that there is currently work on a new renderer that should allow framework bundle size to be optimized with the whole framework being tree-shakeable.

I wonder how Angular would compare once that is done, as this has long been known as probably the main negative with Angular performance-wise, the initial load (but it should be faster than most of the rest once it does load).
That one month that you use over 2GB is hell. That alone keeps me away from throttled plans.
The days of work needed to set up server-side rendering?

I realize I must look stupid saying this, because when you know your tech stack inside out the setup might be 15 minutes instead of days. But a large proportion of developers only learn to do things when they have to, and so you learn server side rendering the first time you have a customer willing to pay for the time it takes you to learn.
> your React application will never load faster than about 1.1 seconds on an average phone in India, no matter how much you optimize it

What about cache? In that 1.1s figure, 0.9s are for the download of react.

Is it reasonable to assume that for most subsequent loads the website would load in 0.2s?
Comparing a barebones view layer libraries (Vue, React etc.) with full frameworks (Angular, Ember etc.) is not comparing apples to apples.
