Anon84, can you explain why you felt this was valuable to post?

This seems to be a random blogspot article, posted by someone with no real accreditation, advocating junk science. Why bring it to HN?

Edit: I'm serious, I really want a actual answer here. Downvoting doesn't make my curiosity go away.
Another funny personal story: since someone shared one.

Started developing a taste for studying and computers at age 12-13. Did not hit a stumbling block till 40. Oh yes there were bad times but it was always one valley to another peak and at 40 the tide turned. I would not say it was the Midas touch, it was not, there were others way more successful but I look at my growth based on my aspirations and capabilities.

And then the fall. Took 5 years to realize the fubar situation and then maybe 6 years of perseverance with a course correction ;) Even before the article I realized that the lack of failures in early days probably hurt me in the long run.

Once again, this is a very simplified version. Even I could find flaws in my presentation of details if I needed to.
I don't agree with this. I think you should document a lot of things to CYA, but don't use it unless your ass is on the line. Dropping a load of documented incompetence just to sway a decision is beyond petty, no matter what the decision is. If someone on my team did that I would question their judgement and teamwork.

At some point employees shouldn't manage other employees. Dealing with this person is the manager's job so as a coworker don't try to do it.
I agree, which is why I actually haven't given my opinion on 2A. I know that because it involves a discussion on whether Americans have a constitutional right to own nuclear weapons. I've only summarized relevant bits of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, law (The Militia Act of 1792) and Supreme Court precedent.

I concede I'm not likely to convince you. But I implore you not to be taken in by one of the most hollow Justices in the post WWII era. Originalism/Textualism is itself an appeal to authority to the Founders, and its sole purpose is to mask a reactionary conservative agenda by mythologizing a group of people whose overarching concern was how to write a founding document that both enshrined human rights and the will of the people as the source of the American government's legitimacy, while also granting assurances to the South that they would be able to own other humans in perpetuity. It is at best misguided and ignorant to try and present this era as unusually enlightened, but when you consider how women, indigenous people, abducted and enslaved people, and immigrants of most nations were butchered, raped, subjugated, denigrated, bought and sold (yes, by Founders), it's full on repugnant. I urge you to look past Scalia's admittedly charming sophistry, which I promise you conceals a richer, more optimistic and inspired world exorcised of centuries-old ghosts in powdered wigs.
This, and not only developers I think most people or at least people of a certain persona need that alone time to process clearly.

Visa for Startup
What are the best ways to start a startup as a non-US resident? Some possible options (I am not sure about the validity of them all):
- Get a CEO having a green card and register yourself with some other position?
- Come to US with L1A visa to get green card quickly

Do you know how did top companies with non-US founders deal with this? (e.g: Stripe). As far as I know Stripe has Irish founders.
Also, I think Romesh Wadhwani of Symphony Group completed PhD in US and later worked to get Symphony started.
Canada. Although it's not in the constitution AFAIK.

In Europe that would be countries like Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland (interestingly, those countries are well-known producers and exporters of firearms).
You really don't want to work for a company that demands 'all nighters' or deadmarches. At the same time, if you're doing something you like, whether it is coding or making music and you like the atmosphere of the night then I don't see any reason why you shouldn't. I can work just fine during the day and yet, there are a couple of those all-nighters that started with me being inspired about something and continuing to work to see where it lead. One or two of those ended up defining my career.

>They also likely hoped that Chinese ruling elite and their children would be willing to trade their political hegemonic grip on the Chinese nation with a seat at the international 1%'s table.

And how very naive they were! Instead what we got is a Chinese Elite with a seat at the international 1%'s table, using that power to continue ruling China as they see fit. Who could've seen that coming?

>That didn't work out, so now we have an administration that (at least superficially as communicated to us plebes via "twitter") is bent on dismantling the very same global structures that are the foundation of "Pax Americana" cum "American Empire".

If we have an "Empire", then why don't we get paid like one? The Imperial comparison has some logical foundations in there, but if we really did run a global "Empire" then I'd expect everyone to shell out some cash every once in a while for things like keeping major shipping lanes generally open and safe. Perhaps we have an Empire and don't know it, or don't have the guts to act like one.

I don't think DNSSEC itself is likely to ever win. But it does have an additional dimension that makes it a better foundation for privacy than DoH. DoH is strictly transport layer security, meaning it still relies on a trusted third party (Mozilla or Google or whomever) to not vacuum your requests. Whereas if records are signed, they can be sent laterally between mutually untrusting peers, including bulk broadcasts, etc.
I'm working on a web based movie sequencer with special effects as a side project right now and the development of this thing is absolutely doomed.

For the 1%. For most typical workers, and the middle and lower tiers particularly it's seen stagnation and decline. The expansion has been in the developing economies.

The French Socialist Party is most definitely not in this day and age socialist, and hasn't been for decades, just as Blair's Labour wan't socialist. They sit firmly in the centre, and are a centre left party nearer the British LibDems than Labour. In a US context, well there's not really a match, as it's too bipartisan. Macron, the former financial regulator and Rothchild banker, is worlds away from and would be unrecognisable to Mitterand. Yet Mitterand was of the same party. So no, France is not socialist.
You're arguing against a strawman because you misunderstood the parent comment.

The character limit was only referring to the subject line. Under it you can have as many lines of additional context as you wish. That's the normal way; the subject is brief, the message is arbitrarily long.

For what it's worth, the linux kernel limits it to around 70 chars and uses a subsystem prefix, so clearly that can work on large long-lived complex projects.

Your argument against 50 characters in the entire message, including the body, is not one anyone would ever argue for, so you've constructed a complete strawman.

Interesting take. As a (former) lawyer, this also makes me think of how lawyers benefit from breaking up big companies. Basically, all of the "synergies" that (at least supposedly) result from mergers/M&A are lost when companies are broken up. So the outside counsel (law firm that reps a company) for a company that gets acquired loses a client when the transaction goes through. But if big companies are broken up, or prevented from merging, then there are more companies to represent. There are also more potential conflicts of interest, which means more lawyers get a piece of the pie.

I assume this reasoning would hold, at least to some extent, for all sorts of service providers that would typically lose a customer when mergers happen.

I'm not making any value judgments on whether companies should be broken up — just pointing out what would happen if they are.
Having the lowest car-ownership rate in the US probably helps Manhattan's overall numbers. :-) Per-capita square footage (which directly impacts heating/cooling energy usage) is also fairly low by suburban standards, even in the rich parts of Manhattan. There are some big apartments on the Upper East Side, but most of them are still small compared to what you find in Westchester.

I would definitely be interested in a more international version, too.

I wish someone automated electricians and plumbers instead. Most of those guys charge an arm and a leg and are booked months in advance. I spent a month trying to get someone to come in and install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage. Automating $15/hr jobs is just weird. The people who work in those jobs usually also man the cash registers, make the dough, clean up, take calls, etc. You aren't going to replace something like that with a glorified frozen pizza maker, even if your investors think otherwise.

On average, everyone returns to the average. This is about the _rate_ of cognitive development. And it's easy to measure with standard tests. Obviously there are a ton of accomplished Asians in America, its just more difficult to identify them in adolescence. There' nothing bigoted about that.

Facts don't matter.
For privacy, getting records signed is ultimately more long-term important than getting queries encrypted immediately. As DoH shows, bolting on transport layer security is trivial.

For example, you'd never want to set your DoH resolver to an arbitrary TOR hidden service. But there would be no problem querying DNSSEC through TOR (assuming the setup wrapped the server-server protocol in something that allowed such forwarding).
In my experience, Tor through VPN services isn't substantially slower than Tor alone. I only know that from experiments using VPS, however, because I've never used Tor (or I2P or Freenet, for that matter) directly.

VPNs through Tor also aren't substantially slower than Tor alone. And indeed, one can use MPTCP to aggregate multiple VPN-via-Tor connections. But only between suitably configured devices, of course.
There is this convenient thing called "the rest of the world".

Excerpt:

"Having such a unique processor at your disposal, it’s absurd not to build a powerful x64-retro system on it. One of the options for using such a system in general can be to build a universal “PC-harvester” that supports all Microsoft operating systems from DOS to Windows 10."

All Microsoft OS'es on the same PC? Cool! Also, if that's indeed the case, my guess is that most versions of x86 Linux and other x86 OS'es, historic to present, would work too... which is no small feat for a single PC...
I've gone in a similar direction. Only at smaller conferences can you have any kind of confidence that your reviewers are people with actual expertise in the field. That's pretty useful, not only because it makes it less likely you'll get reviews that are very annoying, but also because a review by a knowledgeable person can be genuinely valuable. The big conferences are full of reviews written by 2nd-year grad students, because with this many submissions, any warm body with anything approaching credentials is needed.

Besides just "quality" in the general sense, one thing this has really hurt, I think, is any sense of history or continuity. There are a ton of reviewers who have basically no familiarity with the pre-2010 ML literature, and it kind of shows in both the reviews and the papers that get published. I mean I get that deep learning beats a lot of older methods on major benchmarks, but it's still not the case that literally every problem, controversy, and technique was first studied post-2010.
This is a tiny demo, not something continuously pushing 4HD soft real time at 90 FPS.

You may wonder, what was in this for IBM? The answer is fairly straightforward. IBM used to make proprietary chipsets for Intel chips!

The pride of the xServer/xSeries systems were "complex" setups -- multiple chassis -- with up to 32 sockets, and 512 GB of RAM. These required a lot of IBM internal engineering, where they made pin-compatible sockets for what Intel was offering at the time, and glued those chips into _hugely_ different topologies than Intel had in mind.

These systems sound small today, but back in 2001, this was a really big deal for x86. The IBM-proprietary chipsets were much more expensive than off-the-shelf systems, but still a fair bit cheaper than going with NCR or Unisys, competing vendors with proprietary x86 MP designs.

IBM had a lot at stake when that socket changed. Achieving pin-compatibility is hard! Intel is very jealous of their documentation, and prefers to offer paper only, with water-marked copies. It's like owning a gutenberg bible. Engineering something pin-compatible with an Intel x86 CPU has never been easy.

It was no doubt worth it to their "big" x86 server business to ask Intel to make a special run of chips with the old socket layout, but the new emt64 extensions. I bet it was a complete no-brainer compared to the costs of integrating a new socket!
A happy idiot I guess. Since the miserable know-it-all is actually also an idiot, they just don't know it. So they're just a miserable idiot.

Vathys (YC W18) Is Hiring a Packaging Engineer/Nanofabrication Engineer
Vathys is hiring a packaging engineer to develop our 3D integration flow for a novel processor that co-designs architecture and 3D integration to deliver unprecedented performance for machine learning workloads.
You will be in charge of developing the 3D packaging flow which will involve die placement and alignment as well as the fabrication of various connections, such as those used for power and I/O.

In addition, you will interface with the architects and design team in order to ensure that the chip works around the limitations of the process flow.

Location is ideally in the Bay Area, but remote is also possible if there is a nanofabrication facility (e.g. an university lab) nearby.

Generous compensation will be provided to the right talent.

Please contact tapabrata_ghosh[at]vathys[dot]ai if you're interested.

Re: slack, I've started getting in the habit of setting my computer and phone to "do not disturb" mode when I'm actually in the thick of things. Notifications are poison for flow - and even if I don't look at my phone just hearing it vibrate and knowing there's a message there is distracting. (On macos you can suspend notifications system-wide in the drawer thing on the right of the screen. Pull it out with a gesture and scroll up to find no not disturb mode and night shift).

I think its not a reasonable expectation for productive programmers to be always available for random questions and conversation. Make the messages and notifications wait until you have downtime.
I think there are multiple definitions of "using DoH". I think that guide sets this up:

So of the 3 hops, only 1 uses DoH. And specifically, the browser itself doesn't talk DoH.
