The guys in the tower are ATC, they do ground control (still ATC) and local control, surface to 2500' with a 5-mile radius. The dark room guys (TRACON) do surface to the top of their airspace (depends, 18k, 23k) with a 60-mile radius (roughly). Then there is center/en route, which does air traffic above the TRACON when you are level flying at 30k+.

Simplified version.

I've been a solo founder for some time. By far the toughest thing for me has been the cognitive load.

I don't mean raw time. I generally have enough time to get done what I need to get done. I'm talking about the sheer number of different things I have to think about and pay attention to. It's more about mental clutter and management of it than time management, at least for my own case.

Burnout can be an issue too and can come from cognitive load and also not having as many peers to give support and energy. It's easy to get down and lose motivation.

Overall I'd say: multiple founders with good chemistry > solo founder > multiple founders with bad chemistry or conflict. I always put being a solo founder on a list of weaknesses, but the thing is that everyone and every team/venture has a list of weaknesses and part of succeeding is recognizing yours and trying to work around them.

Strategies I've found include maintaining time/energy boundaries (e.g. not working weekends unless something is on fire), delegating where possible, managing scope creep (I've had problems with this one!), and looking at it as a marathon rather than a sprint and thinking in terms of endurance. Getting exercise, eating healthy, and trying to get enough sleep help too as with anything requiring one to be fit.

Facebook Makes More Revenue per User Than Netflix
Is it that absurd?

During the coldest months of winter I would wake up and eat breakfast (sitting), jump in the car (sitting), commute to the office (sitting).

Once at the office I sit for 8h.

Then car again (sitting). Back home I prepare food (standing!) and then eat it (sitting). I then spent the rest of the day either sitting on the couch or at the computer.

Weekends could get even worst if it was a snowstorm day. Wake up, eat, sit in front of Netflix and then back to sleep.

Now that spring is in the air my steps are raising back up.

Longevity shouldn't be too much of a concern: Lockbox is effectively a client for Firefox Sync, and Sync is a core Firefox product offering.

As for Chrome, since Lockbox is an explicit move to extend Firefox Sync's utility beyond just Firefox, I wouldn't at all be surprised to see a browser extension at some point in the future. However, I have no actual knowledge of the Lockbox team's roadmap. Just seems reasonable. :-)

Heck, all the APIs (and repos) are open, so someone sufficiently motivated could build that right now.
The strength of AWS does not come from any individual offering, but from the way the many services effortlessly tie together. Job queues, email/sms services, databases, all available under the same api. Sure I could install my own open source versions of these but I'd rather spend time writing code than worrying about security patches and updates.

For me the biggest game changer was realizing the true power of lambda, and I'm not talking about using it as an http responding webhost as most blogs describe. But as a way of reacting to events within your infrastructure. Any AWS service that can generate an event can have a lambda function associated with. Run code on file uploads, database updates, completion of backups ...the possibilities are endless.

This is still an improvement, as the taxis/Ubers don't need nearly as much parking as private vehicles do. This allows reclaiming a lot of garage and street space for more productive uses like apartments/offices.

But yes, it sounds like some kind of pricing scheme should be put into place to impose increased costs on taxis/Ubers driving into the zone first. I think that'd need app support first though; as an Uber/Lyft driver, you'd need some kind of toggle saying whether you're driving into the zone that day or not -- I'm assuming that the charge is once per vehicle per day, not once per entry into the zone. If it's once per entry into the zone, then just add that onto the passenger's fare.

I do subscribe to this point of view. One needs to look at the actions Stalin took prior to the war. I think Rezun documented it fairly well.

> Draw your own conclusions

My conclusion is that those languages which incorporate S-exps become identified as some kind of Lisp. This is the case even when it's a misidentification; i.e. little else is there of any Lisp "DNA" other than the parentheses.

Or else, those languages become identified as something that is not modern.

Thus, no modern, non-Lisp language has S-exps.

I don't disagree with this observation, but I wanted to mention a counterpoint.

Eno's "Music for Airports" famously uses a system of multiple tape loops that produce sequences of different periods. As you listen, you can hear phrases that occur nearly together and then later, well-separated in time, as the periods of these loops go in and out of phase:

"One of the notes repeats every 23 1/2 seconds. It is in fact a long loop running around a series of tubular aluminum chairs in Conny Plank's studio. The next lowest loop repeats every 25 7/8 seconds or something like that. The third one every 29 15/16 seconds or something. What I mean is they all repeat in cycles that are called incommensurable — they are not likely to come back into sync again."

This interaction of periods will have long memory. (If the tape lengths are L and L+d, for small d, then the repeat time could easily be as long as L*(L/d), and even longer if d does not divide L evenly.) Thus, it is very different from what you get with a Markov chain.

I have no idea what ART is but I doubt it addresses all concerns I listed above. On Android, there are plenty of native libraries and apps these days as well. I'm pretty sure these don't work as is without a compatibility layer that essentially replicates a lot of linux/posix stuff, which Fuchsia does not implement.

In any case, it wouldn't be the first time that Google walks away after putting lots of development in something. In general, I think they are closer to merging Android and Chrome OS than they are to replacing either with Fuchsia (not to mention convincing OEMs like Samsung to actually use it).

>What I find many times here is a belief in pure systems ruled by logic and strict interpretations of language (again, programmer logic), while real life and politics are nothing like that.

Again, this is where you’re running into problems. You’re confusing among other things, the branding with the reality. The DPRK has “democratic” in the name, but so what? Even in less blatant departures from the spirit of the thing, democracy in practice takes many forms. No one (I hope) thinks they live in an Athenian democracy, so what kind of democracy are we talking about? Usually it’s a buzzword interchangeable with “free society” which is another buzzword.

For example, the U.S. styles itself as the world’s leading democracy, but that’s branding again. In reality it is nominally a federated system of indirect representative republics. The U.K. also considers itself a leading democracy, but in practice we’re a constitutional monarchy where power mostly rests in a parliamentary system and civil service.

In short, talking only in terms of buzzwords means that we can project whatever desires we want on “democracy” or “freedom” when the reality is complex.
The brief cease fire was 1.5 years. While the two wars are certainly linked, they were separate campaigns different in many military & political aspects.
Ask HN: Language Agnostic ML
In 2011 I worked for a startup where we approached ML as a compilation process. The learning phase generated a sequence of instructions with coefficients e.g.
* a regression step would be compiled into a scalar product with the regression coefficients
* a clustering step would be compiled into a nearest neighbour search and a list of cluster vectors etc.

With this kind of approach, it seems “easy” to have a “backend” building the model in a certain language and then have “frontends” doing predictions in possibly other languages.
I was quite convinced that this would become the way people build and deploy models.

After a few years outside of Data Science, I'm looking to build models with Python and provide APIs in other programming languages (e.g., Golang) that serve the predictions based on those models.
It seems that 8 years later no progress has been made on having more language agnostic approaches to Machine Learning.

Am I completely missing something here?

One glaring problem I see with this is that anyone who has ever had hives (which my family has) knows how quickly Varroa mites can spread (the #1 killer of bees.) If all the bees are in a single location, that could wipe out every hive there. Would make more sense to me if you made sanctuaries that were spread on ~1 acre plots around a wide area (thinking several cities/town in a clustered area.)

Anyone with more expertise is free to correct me, but I feel like clustering bees on single plots, even 124 acres (which seems big, but is not really that big,) really has some risk if your end goal is to preserve the species.
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, this is my reading, as well.

People hate being called to task. In many ways it makes it harder for me, in my distress, when the person pointing out my flaws does so in a way that doesn’t leave a lot of room for me to blame others for my failures, or to blame others for my distress.

So the actual experience of NVC (regardless of whether it’s wielded as a subtle tool of manipulation) is often very frustrating.

The only way the recipient of an NVC confrontation will perceive the experience as positive is if the recipient legitimately cares about the person calling them to task, AND also cares about doing better next time.

In the absence of these prerequisites, the recipient will just be annoyed that they weren’t able to get away with whatever they did.

But the recipient’s annoyance doesn’t seem to me like an indictment of the conversational tactic. The point of NVC is to hold people’s feet to the fire; people complaining that having their feet held to the fire is uncomfortable doesn’t seem like a reasonable critique.

Some of the things in there are incredibly condescending and foster ambiguity. For example, the observation "three of the numbers in your report were inaccurate" is an observation of a mistake made, which people do. It only means "you are sloppy" if it's a regular occurrence without signs of improvement. Using that as a stand in for "you are sloppy" is itself sloppy, and also lazy and unhelpful.

tl;dr Some areas of the boundary between the upper and lower mantle are littered with huge (~10 km scale) fragments of subducted crust.

Edit: I recall reading, some years ago, that oceanic crust sometimes fragments during subduction. Using seismic tomography, one can sometimes see pieces that have separated from subducting slabs. Otherwise, the slab just becomes less well defined with increasing depth.
Depends on how the link tax is played out. If companies are forced to pay a websites owner to link to it, I doubt even Google or Facebook would pay for that considering Google dropped German websites when they tried to get Google to pay them with their own link tax law. Then you'd have your website, but nothing would link to it and you would never get any traffic besides the people you specifically tell about it.
I think some of that internal seething is because of previous experience where you might have ended up losing control or power and you are able to see through to what might happen if the other party is not truly empathetic (i.e. trying to get towards a common shared goal vs using this tactic as yet another way to get what they want). Unfortunately the conclusion is that it only will work if the other party then handles the subsequent resulting behavior nicely (whatever that "nicely" might mean -- you shouldn't end up feeling having given up or lost something).

Not just "this instance", it's a general problem we have with our democratic system. It's the cause of many problems/bad actions, not just this one.

Given a choice between a free but war torn Finland with blood on its hands, and a Soviet Finland, I think it's hard to imagine much preference for the latter from the perspective of a Finn.
Allying with Stalin's enemy (Hitler) was pretty much the only option for Finland (population 3.7 million) to keep the independence against the Soviet Union (population 170 million). But after 1944, having been allied with Germany became highly unfashionable, so we try to be a little quiet about it. But we don't apologize for staying independent.

Almost any situation where we're trying to design a functional solution to a technical problem. I actually used to have a phrase for this: "You can't build a rocket ship with emotions." If my goal were really to successfully build a rocket ship (as noted in the maxim) then I'd be delighted to be proven wrong. Every correction would get us closer to our goal.

Alternately, if someone were interested in empathizing with the team and protecting egos, we might navigate towards a worse solution. One which took into account everyone's feelings, instead of a cold calculation of method and results.

We know that Facebook was not able to detect all the instances of the New Zealand shooting live recording, which is a trivial instance of exact matching.

There's no exact OCR or proper fuzzy matching of video or audio possible. Maybe with success rates of 60%. This is too risky for a big content provider.
