Which technique did you use to measure body fat percentage?
We're sorry that your experience with Startup School last year wasn't great. That was not our intention, and hopefully you'll give us another shot.

You're definitely right that we were scrambling in the last minute to build software and adjust the program to better cater to the large number of companies in 2018.

As Kyle also mentioned in this thread, we spent a lot of time listening to the community and have made quite a few new changes and improvements for 2019 to better support the program at this scale and improve the experience for founders.

We'll also be taking Startup School on the road to meet SUS founders across the globe and will have YC alumni and partners participating in the Forum to help advise.
> How are you going to enforce using such a scheme? What would stop people from downloading software with real encryption?

Does "anti-circumvention clauses" ring a bell? Or illegal numbers?

> Also, how do you oversight that the government is not abusing the system to track political activists for example?

There's something called "separation of powers" for that. That means the executive power (the government or the cops) normally have to ask permission to the judiciary power (the judges) for that kind of thing.
So much THIS. Thank you for saying it.

I don't know if I've ever known someone who can do that many at once, let alone "tons," let alone all of them being obese??
You have a body fat percentage that should result in a well defined 6-pack and you're barely into the overweight category. You've successfully double-checked by doing a body fat percentage measurement. BMI was still a good and fast check with minimal cost.
When people don't care, you have to make doing it right easier than doing it wrong.

This is not true. The only reason the previous probe (Huygens) only lasted a few hours is because it was battery powered (and the battery wasn't particularly large). This probe will carry a power source powered by the radioactive decay of Plutonium 238 (virtually all the radiation being alpha particles, which are easily blocked by the casing of the power supply and thus will not hurt the electronics or ground crew) that can provide 50-100 Watts of power for years or even decades.

I think you need to relax the idea of 'detecting life' towards 'detecting evidence of life', i.e. evidence of populations of locally-entropy-defeating systems that reproduce.

Once you relax the requirement that 'answers' must be 'yes or 'no' to 'more likely' or 'less likely', it should be clearer how one would go about searching for life. For one, is there chemical activity one wouldn't otherwise expect if there was no life?
Your initial analogy is wrong, then, since—if modern Linux is also bad for those things—then OpenBSD being bad for those things wouldn't thereby make it an example of the OS "retaining classic Unix sensibilities" that modern Linux does not.
While the war on drugs is in its waning days, there is a (aging) segment on the right that worships law enforcement and is generally in support of more laws and heavy-handed police tactics.

I think the OP is calling some these people out as hypocrites who demand "touch on crime" policies that disproportionally affect poorer communities, while they themselves break laws.

That aside, I find the hypocrisy elsewhere, namely the people who want small government but who want everyone to pay billions for mass incarceration (and raise taxes for more police) as a result of these policies.
So you're in disagreement with Hinton?

I've heard the argument made about "in memory compute" - and I do know that various companies have made hardware toward that direction (and some of it has very low power requirements).

I just find it compelling that Hinton - at least as of 2 years ago - has this viewpoint that we should be rethinking the concept of backprop...

To get those #s you would need to have an extreme diet/exercise regime. 185 at 5’11 is either a lot of extra fat or muscle. If you are Sub 10% you definitely have a super defined 8 pack and some of that weird muscle striation body builders get. Would be very surprised if you achieved that by just biking to work.

One of Yang's top policies is Media Fragmentation. Last night's debate was held on MSNBC, NBC, and Telemundo. All three are owned in full by Comcast Corporation. Maybe Comcast interpreted "Media fragmentation" to mean it would have to divvy up its assets if he got elected? I fear that CNN and MSNBC are going to have too much power by favoring their democratic candidate of choice for us as they have done (at least once) in the past. The even bigger fear is that none of this even matters because another country managed to hack a small percentage of the voting machines in the 3144 counties.

These articles ignore a vast number of global web users who are living in or around major cities and towns just to have connectivity, who will likely be early adopters seeking the freedom to live in more affordable rural locations. The potential size of this group is hard to judge, so it seems there's some reluctance to even speculate on a figure.

Are you sure Apple really wants them fixed ASAP?

Having these outside, ostensibly-unaffiliated teams provide law enforcement with access helps prevent government/legal pressure on Apple to explicitly backdoor their systems.

The ideal bit of kabuki-theater for Apple would be for Apple to always maintain a public stance of total devotion to end-user security... while reliably letting enough subtle, hard-to-find flaws linger so that a few of the most-well-resourced government-friendly agencies can run a business like this. "Everybody" wins!

Indeed, I'd expect it more likely that Cellebrite & their ilk infiltrate Apple with secret agents, or in other ways obtain Apple-proprietary information, to assist their tool-building. Forbes has reported that a competitor to Cellebrite, Grayshift, includes at least one ex-Apple security engineer among its "Principals":

Yes and no. "Go users like it" does not imply "therefore it's good", just as "Non-go users don't like it" does not imply "therefore it's bad".

But "Go users like it" does imply "therefore it's not too badly mismatched to what go users are trying to do with it". Likewise, "Non-go users don't like it" implies "therefore it probably isn't a perfect fit for what non-go users are trying to do".

SpaceX targets 2021 commercial Starship launch
So you agree that in the case where the international community finds Iran has an active program to build nuclear weapons, most Iranians would believe them? So the information problem is practically solved.

As for motivation, well, there are already significant sanctions on Iran, and that's with merely the US alone. If Iran restarts a significant nuclear program, I think the response would be much more than my previous euphemism of 'ruckus'.

But I don't expect (or ask) the Iranian people to rise up, though this regime well deserves it. That would be really nice, but it seems to me the other outcomes are more likely. Most likely both sides will be able to reach some diplomatic conclusion (since neither wants a war).

I doubt this.

Back in the NT days, there really was a religious war of Microsoft vs everyone else. They really were seen as the evil empire, using anti-competitive behavior to force crap down everyone's throats. A lot of people felt that way, including me.

For me it was easy to buy an Apple to develop for Linux. Why? It was Unix, and it wasn't Microsoft. If Microsoft had sold the exact same laptop with exactly the same operating system, I would have refused to buy it. Remember the motto Embrace, Extend, Extinguish? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis... if you've forgotten.

I've matured. I laugh at myself. But I have a deep sympathy for the old Unix people that I saw when I was young who had spent a lifetime fighting IBM only to see IBM playing nice with open source and having trouble accepting it at face value. Because no matter how much Microsoft tries to change, I still have trouble seeing them as anything other than the company that they were back in the late 90s, early OOs. Give them opportunity, and I'm still on alert for when the "extinguish" bit is coming.
CPanel unleashes price hikes on its most dense customers
There were a lot of rumors recently about Apple working on custom desktop ARM CPU. I think that it's very likely that they'll introduce it into their macbooks at least. But powerful Macs is where it'll be really interesting. They recently released Mac Pros. Spending a lot of money on computer that might become kind of obsolete in a few years sounds not very good.

Overall my impression is that Apple does not care about compatibility. They'll just force every software developer to recompile their program with ARM instruction and pack it into installer and if you need some old program, you either out of luck or may be they'll implement some kind of translation (and if performance is bad, it's even better, because that would force software developer to release "optimized" build).
Why is bandwidth so scare still? Satellites in geosynchronous orbit on earth can do terabit/sec of total capacity now.

Consider: what would it mean for an OS to be "stable for a decade" in the face of generational hardware changes?

For example: we have 4K monitors now, and 8K monitors soon. OSes before ~2010 didn't really support DPI scaling (with mixed-DPI display layouts, etc.), because we didn't have those monitors; but now we do. OSes had to add DPI scaling support throughout the whole stack to support these monitors in the way people expected.

This required a nontrivial rearchitecting of the components of some OSes, because they had been built in a world where you rendered e.g. fonts by caching fixed bitmap tile-handles with the (non-DPI-aware) pixel size of the font as the key. In the case where you have two monitors of differing DPI plugged in, that cache spits out wrong tiles for at least one of your monitors.

So, what would you expect this "stable" OS to do when you plug an 8K monitor into it?

Or, another example: touchscreen tablet support, implemented by pen and gesture input events becoming the lower-level input-event stream, and pointer events being reimplemented on top of them. What would you expect your stable OS to do if you installed it on a tablet?

Sometimes, OSes have to rearchitect things. The reason is not always "FEATURE: now written in a cool new language!"; sometimes it's "BUG: it just doesn't got-dang work to do things this way any more."
How is the graphics support in OpenBSD for the ThinkPad, and which model?

I've found the recent P and X models underwhelming as far as hardware goes, and support in Linux hasn't been great in my experience. While I'd like to give BSD a try, I fear I'll have to deal with even more driver issues.

For example, all video out ports on my X1 Extreme are wired to the dedicated NVIDIA card, which forces me to either use Nouveau which causes kernel panics, or use huge binary blobs from NVIDIA, which I'm reluctant to do for several reasons, one of which is breaking my initramfs image and making the system unbootable.

I'm quite tired of the amount of these types of issues in the Linux ecosystem, so I'm very interested in trying something simpler and better thought out, as long as the hardware support is decent.

Those electrical scales only give a general indication and are not calibrated to be clinically accurate. I have one myself and it fluctuates up and down significantly day to day.

I worked as a remote welder. The company I worked for was 100% remote with no central shop or office. We had mobile welding trucks that were fully loaded with tools and welding generators. We would work with local metal shops to share their space if we needed something like that. We needed access to physical stuff like the metal thing we were welding on, but the employer/employee part was all remote.

Maybe the difference is that the Sikh community is much tighter knit than most immigrant communities. We're probably overlooking that the East Asian and Mexican communities that predominate in certain industries are often sub-communities that are tighter knit than they seem--e.g. Jalisco emigrants in some parts of the Bay Area--but even so I wouldn't be surprised if the Sikh community is especially close.

The tighter knit the community the more they can act deliberately to quickly and/or comprehensively achieve some goal. An obvious contemporary example are the Patel families in the hotel industry. Both the Patels and Sikhs have long-existed as distinct socio-economic groups in India. Sikhs are arguably a nation, although that cuts both ways in terms of how relatively tight-knit they may be.

Self-driving trucks may be coming but don't discount the long-tail of traditional trucking business that we'll see. Declining industries can be extremely profitable, especially with enough focus. Mustering the capital to keep investing in the best opportunities can be difficult because the future growth isn't there. Tight-knit communities are particularly well suited to exploit those opportunities precisely because of their funding networks and labor specialization.
Systemd is the obvious example, since it is essentially svchost.exe plus tons of other cruft rolled into a blob that started out as an init system.
Indeed. If Starlink merely breaks even, it'll massively increase the demand for launch services which allows them to justify the development of large, fully reusable rockets like Starship. From SpaceX's perspective, besides the straight up revenue they provide, the main point of megaconstellations like Starlink is fodder for reusable rockets.

...and having multiple megaconstellations competing thus isn't necessarily a bad thing even from SpaceX's perspective. More mass to launch to orbit.

...that's one thing about reusable rockets that is key to understand. There's no fundamental physics that says reusable rockets can't be done. Shuttle proved upper stages can be reused and SpaceX showed first stages can be reused. The main question is demand: reusable rockets make sense IFF there's more than sufficient demand to pay back the R&D and the keep the factory busy.

To over-simplify things a bit:
Rocket factories for even expendable rockets seem to struggle to be affordable unless you're building at least 10 airframes per year, so if you want to get 10-100 reuses out of your rocket, you'd best be launching at least 100-1000 times per year...
