The idealogical polarization of the parties was really kicked into full gear by Gingrich. Trump's very clever at manipulating media to take this polarization to new heights, but the playbook it's Newt's playbook.

It certainly doesn't help the Democrats (and reasonable republicans?) that they appear weak when they try to be reasonable or compromise.
There are some cool examples of dynamic content built on peer-base, like dev.peerpad.net (which is a WIP cryptpad-style distributed markdown tool). It doesn’t do user authentication yet, but some other folks have been prototyping an identity manager based on DIDs and verifiable signatures that integrates nicely with ipfs to authenticate and sign messages: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/pm-idm
Nice. The Excel/Python combo is very powerful. Microsoft has kept Excel in the dark ages, and could have implemented such better analytics than it currently offers. If they could integrate Python in lieu of VBA and make it compatible with their Form designer, it would become very popular. The ability to quickly knock-up desktop interfaces, closely integrated with powerful analytics and the user’s data source is priceless in certain environments (e.g. capital markets).
Yes, I agree. I just meant the Google index is probably the largest centralized collection of knowledge. Maybe not though, just a guess.
Well said, although that's not the only thing at issue; the prominent tradeoff for that generally smaller (or less powerful) set of recourses is that you have easy, automatic memory management for the default case. I.e., you don't need to make decisions about how memory is managed unless you need to make those decisions. In C++ and Rust, you have to constantly make those decisions (which kind of pointer to use, where will it allocate, what happens to ownership, how will this affect callers, etc).
At least you understood what I was implying. Most other commentors seemed to think I believed a single person with a million dollars could affect the change needed to avert the apocalypse. Or that I was implying said apocalypse was real in the first place.
Yeah, I got the impression that YC didn't see why they weren't charging for what they had since it is a liked and a viable product with a pretty simple way to make revenue.

I hope these guys do well, I like the hustle also!
No, don't trust Facebook after all the on going privacy news. Certainly wouldn't trust them with my money.
Hey, this install button is supposed to be dynamic and should change depending on your user agent. However this wasn't working and is fixed now. Sorry for this inconvenience
Wild place. By far my favorite city in India and I've travelled pretty widely there. If you're in town and partake, make your way to Blue Lassie for a "special" one, then make sure to get somewhere you feel comfortable before it kicks in.
Practically, yes. But consider one-time pad or Shamir secret sharing: they stop being information-theoretically secure if you use such conditioning.
> jealous that someone less qualified was being successful

He was less credentialed but was he less qualified?
Yeah, the tooling around this is pretty bad. For example, you might release a container that has index.html and main.abc1234.js. index.html has to be parsed before the JS bundle is requested. If you do a release in that intermediate time, the javascript will 404 and your site won't load because in the new container, the only bundle that exists is main.def2345.js.

I think people additionally assume this never happens, because their error reporting code lives in the javascript bundle and they never get error reports ;)

The correct solution is probably to keep a few old versions of the Javascript bundle around, so that in-flight requests succeed even as you update the container hosting the app. I do not know of a tool that does this, but the edge case I describe above worries me, so I might write one someday.
You actually think that’s how the world works?
I would posit that the "stealing the idea" would have gotten them some success, but not nearly what Montañez brought them. That CEO had good eyes when it came to people.

Can't Facebook call it something like FB.Libra?
Global unqualified namespace is a classic mistake. Causes all sorts of silly "squatting" and drama issues.

Should really be:

People like unqualified names because it's slightly cute, though.
So ... can you accept "Ratten raus vom Rathaus" as a pun? Like, I can understand if it's too low-effort or obvious, but is it still a pun?
no
lmao no
Regarding point 2, I thought that at first, but am now less certain. If fake stuff is everywhere, it's true. But if people then gravitate to reputable sources, there's less reason to make fake stuff, decreasing the amount of fake stuff until the incentive towards reputation is gone again. There's going to be an equilibrium in there somewhere, but that may be weirder and less predictable than either end of the spectrum.
Oh man, I remember when SpeedX first came out. I can't describe it exactly, but it was an immediate red flag for me. Basically they tried to fix everything about buying a bike in one fell swoop and said it was going to cost less than other providers. If they were able to provide a superior experience to bike sizing, bike computer, wheels, frame, etc all in one fell swoop, then I would expect the overall product to be more expensive...not cheaper. Huge red flag.
I disagree, but I do have Frontier w/ 12Mbps down, 768kbps up.

I worked on a startup, out of a dude’s house, he also owned the house next door.

I had three separate FiOS ONTs connected to the rackmount server in the living room.

Lots of live video streams.

The accounts were business, so when the gardener slices one of the fiber cables, it was fixed in a few hours, and the other ONT was still working.

My other buddy lives 2 hours away and has symmetric 1Gbps service for $50/mo in a rural area.

I would love to be able to have a symmetric connection.

I don't know that it'd be worth the investment at this point. We already have our widely-supported Unixy system for that, Linux.

Furthermore, there's a longstanding (3 year) bug where the kernel would (very rarely) fail to execute a process. This would manifest as "/bin/sh: fail to execute binary file", because the posix_spawn() call returns an error (this is the actual bug), the libc interprets this as trying to execute a script, and falls back to running it through /bin/sh (this is standard Unix behavior), which can't execute it either because it's not a script.

That such a bug would persist for so long doesn't inspire confidence in the quality of the kernel.
The obvious solution is to use absolutes 'December 2018' rather than relatives 'seven months ago'.
This is a really great comment. Positive feedback from any third party, VC or otherwise, is information that can be factored into your own 'model' of whether your business is a good one but it seems to me the overwhelming factors ought to be either the real numbers you mentioned and your own (hopefully) more complete and considered analysis of your market and opportunity, using the information and hypotheses that only you have.

Positive feedback is nice but it should have zero effect on whether or not you pursue a business idea - if you weren't going to pursue the idea without it, there are probably fundamental reasons for that, that should probably override the reasons behind the positive feedback anyway.
A core function? No. Still happen here? Yes.

> For a lot of the interruptible system calls, one has to write defensive code.

Errrr, duh. Remove "interruptible" and that sentence still holds very true.

If you don't care about being interruptible, write restarting wrappers doing a simple subtraction. (Or use fread(3)/fwrite(3)). It's not hard.

nanosleep(2) gives you back the remaining time, it's about as easy to use as read(2)/write(2). Very simple. sleep(3) doesn't, but due to seconds resolution it's not a generally useful API anyway. Still useful for quick debugging. Not a system call, but a libc call, by the way.
And that's a big part of the downside of Slack overuse from my perspective.

Sometimes a real-time conversation is exactly the right thing, but when someone takes the time to be thoughtful and detailed, either everyone else has to pause and wait for them or the conversation will have moved on by the time they finish.

Plus their thoughts may feel like a wall of text because they won't have time to edit down to the brevity that Slack culture encourages, or a quick edit may lead to important accidental semantic errors.

Real-time text chat systems like Slack are great for transient and/or informal conversation, but the rushed pace hinders some types of communication. Slack or a competitor should complement but not replace the other tools.
This release feels like a stopgap between TF 1.0 and TF 2.0; there are a lot of new depreciation warnings!

Thanks for the reply. I agree that Boeing clearly made a huge mistake by rushing the process, and in doing so, did a bad job.

I'm still not yet aware of any reason that they won't be able to eventually make the MAX design safe and functional.

It's a very interesting example of engineering/business dynamics. I'll be happy whether the MAX flies successfully or gets totally scrapped, as long as no one else dies in a MAX from negligence.
I worked for Frito Lay in college as a detailer. To this day I told people it was the best job I ever had. Just so chill. They trusted you and paid you.

Hmm. Putting on my paranoid hat, I wonder if Xi is orchestrating a campaign against Wang Qishan...
I also wonder if technology could have the opposite effect of expediting the adoption of “new” pronunciations only among certain demographics. It’s not linguistics (or maybe it is?) but the number of 20-something women speaking with vocal fry seems to have increased thanks to pop culture/the Kardashians.
FMLA is 12 weeks unpaid.
It’s hard to believe an actual citizen of Mexico would be offended by you referring to their nationality. “Latino” is a term primarily used by people in the US of Latin American ancestry. “Latinx” even more so.

I would recommend simply ignoring anyone who gets offended about how a group they’re not even part of refers to itself.
Ok, and "-ish" and "-esque" clearly both trace back to the Proto-indo-european. So we're really just talking about spelling standards, which are a recent innovation.
That heap allocation is most likely either optimized away and allocated in stack/ allocated in minor heap which is same as bumping a pointer just like in stack!
Agreed. Unless you're intentionally building some low-margin business model that requires cutting these costs, you shouldn't box yourself in and ignore potential growth because of hosting costs.
So, what happens when the SLA is violated in the free-tier?
Yeah, there are a lot of variables there, such as where you live and whether your million is in liquid assets or just your net worth. But a person with money who owns land still commands more influence than one without who doesn't. I wouldn't expect a single person to avert doomsday, millionaire or pauper. I just think it's a shitty mentality to not even try to avert a disaster one believes is imminent and to just work on shielding oneself.
Right is a synonym for 'correct'. How much mental energy does that take?
> having friends and family buy out the products in the test market

It is ethically wrong, however given the fact that he was facing an unfair fight within the organization (other executives trying to make him fail) I believe it was a fair way to combat that.
> Code which is less like Basic can be "best" if it allows your team to move twice as fast, and have 10x as short a backlog of defects to fix. It may take a more expensive team, and some onboarding time for new members, of course.

This is true in theory but it’s famously hard to measure, having both very strong religious beliefs and notorious confounds. For example, is any particular anecdote telling you that a niche language like Lisp or Haskell actually makes people more productive or just that you’re filtering for developers who would be above average in any language?

Actually measuring these sorts of claims scientifically is expensive enough that it’s rarely attempted, but that rarely causes people to taper the degree of certainty people express. That doesn’t mean that new languages are bad but I think Fred Brooks was right to recommend skepticism of big claims rather than more incremental improvements.
Your experience resonates with mine.

IMO, if you start off with sane good practices, it's really not that difficult to work for a11y in web. Just adhering to good markup and keyboard-first navigation will get you most of the way "there", especially if the designers are aware of their constraints and designing with a11y in mind.

But reworking stuff that isn't already working around a11y is a massive pain in the ass.

So I "get" it, and I've built a lot of stuff that doens't serve every population as well as it could have if I had been more informed. But at this point, for new work it doesn't feel like much of a burden at all, any more than using git or linters or whatever other stuff we do because it's a helpful practice.
Or, you could, you know, talk directly to your partner...

I've never heard that before, its an awesome quote.
If you can think of a practical way to unionize workers on a 1-2 year contract with a high turnover rate, I'd love to hear it.

The deck is stacked against employee organization. If I were conspiracy-minded, I might even say this was by design.
> Instead of having wolves why not simply have humans hunt the excess deer?

Because wolves are much smart for this job and provide benefical collateral effects in a miriad of ways that humans can't; and they do it 365 days a year. Is like comparing traveling in bullet train with a wheelbarrow.
Yes it's terrible naming. The more abstract the naming, the harder it is to reason about.
Plus, JS/TS already have proper union types without a need for a construct like Either.

A better naming for 99% of cases is (like found in Elm)

type Result error value
= Ok value
| Err error
I'm afraid the markup would have to be a lot more than that. They're banking on you buying multiple pieces of hardware over the years, not just one iMac... Hardware lock-in is their whole business model...
Would that mean that distributing object files and letting the user link their own QT would work? I'm not totally sure on the nuanced here unforrunately
There definitely are more semantics than this in the monad instance for Either, which treats Left as "failure" (via early exit in a comprehension) and Right as "success". The docs call out the convention as well.
Credit is due the executive assistant who informed the CEO of the call instead of triage-ing it to the bit bucket.
I'm not sure which definition you're referring to, but every one I've seen you'd be hard-pressed to use left as the 'good' value. The type's definition favours 'right' for Functor/Applicative/Monad/etc instances.

Definitely not a money-saver, but being in control and knowing how the underlying pieces fit together is quite valuable.
there's certainty, and there's provability.

Certainty may be rumors that come from colleagues in other parts of the company that play out exactly as they said it would.

This was many years ago in Texas, but imagine having the choice between fighting the brunt PepsiCo's legal team, possibly incurring crippling debt and losing the case to boot (read lack of provability)

A lot of the current services and data will stay as is for now but new needs to be created on the basis of this mess. So one thing that would be of benefit is to create this uniform interface towards a lot of different things while adding access control, Security and such in a consistent manner. Graphql being one of the things Im looking at but also data virtualization solutions like denodo or Redhat and stuff like neo4j+Graphql seems interresting. On top of that we would consume and build new api and services in a more fixed schema. Adding api mgnt

Atleast its my initial thought that it would shorten the development cycle if all data could be found one place and acccessed the same way rather than now where people spend months just analyzing Where to find and connect to it. Hoping someone had experience with some of the techniques and Can say somehing thats more than marketing you read at a vendor site.

Ah, touche
If economy goes down and you keep printing money not backed by anything, the value of the money goes down and you end up with hyperinflation like in Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

So that's a very useful feedback loop: if too many people decide that they want to do art instead of driving trucks, the total income tax will go down, decreasing ubi and making more people to work. If someone invents self driving trucks and starts to get huge profits, ubi goes up, helping the drivers to live while they learn new useful skill.

No, that's not true. As long as you put more entropy in than you take out then you retain IT-security. But there is no rational reason to care about that.

It's taking the identify of Hispanic culture, and redefining it to fit into the political ideals of the liberal American culture. Essentially, it's usurping the identity of minorities groups.

If you don't like using Latino, there's already a gender-neutral English word works just fine: Latin. Alternatively, Hispanic works just fine too.

This is worth considering, especially when you can get a DO droplet for $5/month and run whatever free software you like on there on Ubuntu. That has to be as un-locked-in as it gets. You could run the same thing from a Rasb-Pi at home!

I am happy to use Netlify as a static file host as that isn't much of a lock in: I can move to S3 later, or even the DO droplet and Nginx!
It doesn't magically abolish your right, but it is evidence against you if a competitor actively and overtly uses your mark and you don't enforce it even to the level of writing to them seeking a rename or a license.

Not only is there a risk of estoppel (probably not if they can't show anything explicit or intentional by you), even other competitors can point to your willful inaction in support of their argument to a judge that your trademark has become generic.

As noted above, I'm not a lawyer or giving specific legal advice here, but I have worked with lawyers in dealing with trademarks.
I feel like this comment buys into the assumption that so many people have that 'ideas' are the valuable part. The idea wasn't the valuable thing Montañez contributed... it was the whole execution.

A CEO isn't going to 'execute' on an idea by himself... it isn't like he was going to steal the idea, and go into the kitchen himself and create the cheetos. He needs someone who can drive an idea forward to execution, and that was the real thing he was selecting Montañez for... the idea was the easy part.
