Thanks - this is quite helpful and appreciate the kind words. You're right - I have approached some targeted folks for co-founder and it's been harder for this kind of domain. The other issue is that unless it does something (apart from claims), it's harder for some folks to wrap their head around the value prop, see it's actual use and get excited about it.

I am trying to get to a usable working version this month and then I will start contacting more folks as you recommend. The search engine is designed to be complementary so it gets layered on top of other ways people are used to looking at the stock market.

I have spoken to many in last 1-2 months and have learned a lot from them. At some point though I feel discussions aren't very productive if there isn't a clear product/service to talk about. It has been a tough balance to strike - ton of discussions with potential parties vs actual product building at this early stage.

Hence the search for a good advisor/mentor to help me prioritize different things well and not make mistakes as an engineer. The advise here is helping though :)

I heard this podcast as well. It appears the author combined this with some other ideas that are somewhat similar. I read Gladwell's book he references, it's a good read. The other book he references sounds interesting too. That quote from the Greek resistance fighter really stuck with me.
This is true for grant fields. Teaching really is irrelevant if you're bringing in big grants. In non-grant fields, however, you do have to teach at an acceptable level, even at good research universities.
This was the Buddha's own thinking when he established his order of monks. Sadly, it has not weathered the last couple thousand years in such grace, as many East Asian Buddhist monasteries have become thoroughly corrupt, with monks misappropriating funds.

Perhaps nothing can preserve institutions from ossifying than date-determined termination.
Seems like a good time to reflect on the work: "Whitey on the Moon" https://youtu.be/goh2x_G0ct4 It'd be one thing if this was private money, instead it comes out of the pocketbooks of those suffering. That's rarely acknowledged.
I've tried so many things to go sleep

- warm milk

- meditation

- room for sleep only

- go to bed only when sleepy( I am not sleepy anymore once i get into bed)

- melatonin

- counting sheep

- sleep sounds, sleep talking youtube videos

- ambien ( sigh)

- clean sheets

- low room temperature

- body pillows, weighted blankets

- daily excersise / yoga

- Ice cold showers/ hot showers / no shower

- no food after 8 pm, no coffee after 12 pm

- no alarms/alarms

- no screens

None of these had any consistent results, you simply cannot "trick" your brain. Then I observed my (then new) girlfriend how she would fall asleep in < 2 mins. I realised I had strained relationship with sleep at some point in my life and never corrected that relationship. My problems started when I was teenager in residential school where you had to wake up at 5 am.

My girlfriend associated sleep with cozy, warm, relaxing happy space,I associated it with stressful battle. I've had good success trying to mend my relationship with sleep. Ironically the thing that worked the best for me is 'sleep restriction', sleeping less and less everyday till my brain associated sleep with something it needs to chill, not something foisted on it by a strict schedule.
Why is a vuln from 2002 on versions of apache that nobody would be using be published now?
I just want to say I'm really shocked that you would continue to argue with this person, who obviously has dramatically more experience with this particular topic than you do. What exactly are you trying to do, prove them wrong?

You also put up a really simple strawman with "homeless person dying on the street". That's a really contrived scenario and not what actually happens, as the person you're replying to has already explained.
That’s the large impacts. The Moon gets hit by ~2800 kg of meteor material per day, though this likely has been decreasing over time.

It’s about one ‘bullet’ going ~38,000 mph per 379 square kilometers. But times 365 days a year you’re at 1 bullet per square km/year. Over 500 million years that’s 500 bullets per square meter which would heavily damage if not outright destroy any structure and cover it in lunar dust.

PS: The 38,000 mph issue is hard to conceive of assuming similar weight it’s ~2,500 times the kinetic energy of a 9mm bullet. Military rail guns are aiming for Mach 7+ which is ~1/40 the kenetic energy of a similarly massed meteor.

On linearity: straight lines, linear operators and the Fourier transform
Maybe a PEng takes more work than a PE, but a PE is not "way more work" than a Bachelor's. It basically just involves doing your job well enough for three years to get three recommendations from PEs and remaining sharp enough on academic subjects to pass an exam at the end of that period. I didn't bother mainly because I neglected to take the FE before I graduated.

The timing is sensational: humanity begins 2019 with an astronomical milestone event.
I've heard that one of the things that makes champagne appealing is its lithium content, but that may just be false attribution.
Not sure if this is sarcasm, but people aren’t machines. My reply rate rose considerably by changing from my first(unique) name, to my middle(common) name. People judge, if you’re going for a new job why give them any chances to ding you?
Wait, did you read her actual scholarship, or the summary of it given in a... New Yorker article?

The pompous middlebrow dismissal strikes again. In this moment I am euphoric.
I was strung along by a telco; told several times that the issue was fixed only to discover on the next bill it wasn't.

On my third (and what ended up being my last call to them), I told them I had the FTC's online complaint form open on my computer and was in the process of filling it out.

I was immediately transfered to someone who said they will fix my problem and call me back in 10 minutes when it was done. They called back in 15 minutes, and I never had a problem after that.

A good example would be the area around Lancaster Pennsylvania. With Amish horse drawn buggies, people pass them on double yellow lines all the time. I don’t know if that is legal, but where I live in New Mexico we have a similar, if less common occurrence with farm equipment on the road—everyone passes them, though technically it’s a traffic violation. In some of these instances the speed difference is significant enough (10mph in a 50mph zone) that it could easily be more significant than 10 minutes on an hour drive.

It makes me wonder about traffic laws, and whether there will be a push to make these behaviors more explicit laws because there is potentially huge issue if Waymo or other companies program breaking laws into their driving code. Add to that that traffic laws in the USA are primarily state laws, but municipalities frequently have additional laws. The laws are all mostly the same, so I suspect autonomous vehicles will be programmed to the most restrictive of the laws.
The 4th annual Tucker awards for excellence in swearing
I am curious if there is a preference for urban living or its just a case of where the jobs are. I would quite happily live in a small town but that's not where the jobs are for me (software engineer) or my girlfriend (neurologist).
Moving to california because you want to be a star is not "fashion", its a dream.

> It is quite likely that those people would have been far better off in a mundane job where competition isn't fierce and where living costs won't destroy you.

Or they would have regretted the rest of their lives not taking chances when they were young instead doing poop work on the farm or working a dead end job in a small town.
I believe the fundamental difference between paying for air versus food, education, medical care is that air is abundantly free. Someone could try to charge you for it, but you could just open your lungs and consume all of the air which they haven't bottled.

Food requires land, plants, and animals. It requires labor. It requires you to either produce it yourself or interact with someone who does. Air does not.
I was not referring to this particular case at all, I was speaking generally because I think the comment I replied to was also speaking generally. The fact that not all HIV strains might be cured (with this particular gene or any genes) does not mean we should not do it at all.
Also quite tellingly, many of the early medical textbooks had areas devoted to cosmetics, perfume, incense, and scented aromatics. The 10th century Al-Tasrif, one of the most important medical textbooks ever written and in use until the 1700s, had an entire chapter devoted to this topic.

All of the researchers I know take teaching very seriously and do a good job at it. Some of them even kind of like it, but their tenure case depends on their research output, and that is their primary job and usually passion.
How does this compare with Revit? It seems wrong to me to compare it to SketchUp and blender, as they are not BIM, and just regular modeling software
I think, if we want to play 'what-about', then it's fair to say that the cost of the New Horizons mission ("approximately $700 million over 15 years", per Wikipedia) is a drop in the ocean compared to the US Dept of Defence's direct spending on the 2003-2010 Iraq war, which was more than $700 billion, which came just as much out of the wallet of the US taxpayer (who is both rich and poor, and separately, both content and suffering), and as a little-known side-effect, killed a bunch more people than New Horizons has so far.
Boy, people were careless and stupid back then.

I wonder how many things we do today will be seen in a similar way 50 years from now. If you believe everything you read somewhere online, then pretty much anything today is poisonous and will kill us, but just statistically some of these have to be right.
That’s bonkers! Doctor was originally a title for academics before medics borrowed it. I think medics without an MD or PhD shouldn’t be using the title. What country is that in?
This is neat! I didn't know this, or FreeCAD, existed.

For a complete layman who wants to design a house eventually, how deep should one go with a more detailed design in FreeCAD or similar tool? Is a rough design in something like SketchUp and getting an architect involved the way to go? In does anyone have general tips or resources for such a project?

UW CSE requires (or required when I was there?) their faculty to teach 2 courses every 3 quarters. So they got paid to teach, but they didn't have to teach very much.

I agree with you about the disfunctional public services.

I disagree with you that downtown never really declined that much.

Woodward was mostly boarded up 20 years ago. During the recession downtown was a ghost town. It didn’t get worse because there was no one there to make it worse. It wasn’t uncommon to go downtown and not see a single person on the streets.

A revival has to start somewhere. Businesses and restaurants moving in is the start.
As soon as I finished my PhD in computational science, I left to the Bay Area. I did consider some positions in academia, but as others have described, the low impact of the problems I was working on and the path to permanent position didn't really motivate me.
I have been one year in industry and though I am doing something different, filtering and sensor fusion, I would describe my overall experience as very positive. I still get to read a lot of papers, work with very intelligent and motivated people and every now and then I get some praise from my coworkers on my maths knowledge, which is nice.
Deadlines are tighter and the metrics in which my work is judged on are very different.
>The embededded working group could probably use a page listing all the platforms

I haven’t looked into which micros are supported by Rust in actuality because I checked their main site and saw an old Nordic, a few old STMs, an old NXP, and some old MSPs, then left the page.

If I was a hobbiest this might be ok and I might research it more. As a professional, I pretty much noped out of there assuming that it’s just nowhere near ready for me.

I’d like to see it work! But until there is an IDE with debugging using code overlay and breakpoints... Rust is just not for me. I wonder what year they get there?

Edit: apparently there is a gap between what hobbiests consider acceptable and what my company would need that the Rust fans can’t imagine - this somehow means my opinion isn’t valid. Let me know when Keil or IAR or anyone sells a supported and professional IDE with a Rust compiler.

Surviving Crypto Winter 1: Mattereum, Ethereum-based smart property registers
I'm trying to tease out what you value, in an economic sense. Khanna is proposing to spend a bunch of taxpayer money building fiber in rural areas, in hopes that it helps economically revitalize these places. But you're someone who already works in tech, and judges a house to be "closer to the ideal across a range of factors" even though it has nothing faster than DSL. If someone who already has a need for fast connectivity won't use connectivity as a dispositive factor in deciding where to buy a house, how valuable can fiber access really be? If people won't pick Town A over Town B because Town A has much better connectivity, what does that say about the value of Town A spending a bunch of tax dollars to build a fiber network?

I think this is an important point, because we shouldn't make policy based on platitudes. If fiber really has the value the platitudes ascribe to it, we would see places with fiber being measurably more desirable than places without it.

This is a common myth. You don't though if you use then like they are intended to. Sleeping pills are correcting your relationship with sleep, its for resetting the expectation in your head that you will fall asleep once you go to bed. bed =sleep.

Reminds me of second grade, when I showed my teacher a CYOA book I was reading and she contacted my parents to warn me about it being a bad influence. Apparently some Christian sects expanded the fearmongering about D&D to CYOA, which made it a tool of the devil.

Ah, the days of growing up in the American South!
If people are ignoring alerts because it might be the red team then surely when the red team breaks in... those people all look like idiots who can't keep their systems secure?

If this is happening, then either the red team needs to be disbanded as nobody cares enough to warrant their existence... or the engineers ignoring the alerts need to be educated on the value of a red team.
We could go back and forth on this all day, but I don't think you would say these vehicles are good drivers if you have actually driven amongst them. I recommend that you follow one of these Waymo vehicles if you're ever in Chandler or in Mountain View. Being extremely hesitant is not good driving. Slamming on the brakes when a newspaper blows in front of your car is not good driving. Take a left turn behind one or go to a four-way stop behind one. I really hope Waymo improves.
Has there been any talk of further fly-by targets? I seem to recall there were a number of possible candidates after the Pluto fly-by, but I suppose the Thule visit might have ruled some or all of those others out.
