But we aren't "ensuring" privacy; we're inventing whole new forms of privacy. There has never been a private and secure channel to communicate with thousands of strangers across the world. Simply acting like this brand new thing is an obvious and unquestioned good is naive.
The argument is, as the saying goes, "good enough for government work."

I find that quite appalling, to be frank.
IIRC people dont do well without work (much of our identity is tied up in working) . Of course you can argue that could change if society changes. But individuals who find themselves without work (due to rapid wealth changes, or losing work) often find themselves depressed
One of the big challenges is the asymmetry in when to go public relative to your competitors. If you go public too soon, you're competitors get the upper hand because they can spend more freely on growth without oversight and that lets them suck investment dollars out of the market like fire consumes oxygen. If you go public too late, then you learn no discipline with how you spend and the market recoils in horror and you burn out before getting costs under control before running out of runway. Blitzscaling has really changed things.
Talk to them, briefly. Don't burn bridges, but also don't waste your time (and theirs). When you identify a good one, hang on to their contact info.

How do you identify a good one? Well, I once got called by a headhunter, whom somebody gave my name to. One question he asked is where I was currently working. I told him. He said that he couldn't recruit me, because his company placed people where I was working. A recruiter with ethics? I put his name in my permanent file. If I decide I'm looking for work, he's getting a call.
I don't know if it's the same thing as (not only the philosophers, but also many great orators of ancient Greece/etc) the capacity to recite e.g. entire epic poems from memory, but have always found Vedic Chanting (Pathas) fascinating-

Then there's the continual pressure of trying to serve two masters: your original customers vs shareholders. Often it's the latter that takes precedence when they go public. What would FB or Goog be like if they were still private?
Advocating to join a terrorist organization, or providing support for such, is illegal. Believing or saying stupid things is generally not illegal. Equating the two is nonsensical both from an intuitive and legal stance.
Yup. Plus, that's an easy prognostication for him to make because he's already on top.

If you aren't just about making money in the early days, you're not going to be CEO very long either. The key is figuring out when your company is big enough that you need to pay attention to things other than making money, or at least good enough as signaling/feigning that you care about things other than making money.

According to https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/26/18744264/something-awful-... the best mods are chosen by the community they're moderating. You see this on Reddit. The mods mostly complain about how limited the tools are; they certainly aren't using machine learning written by PhD's. But Reddit ends up being fairly well-moderated; it's the subreddits themselves that end up banned for various reasons.

Starting your own company is easy for sure! Starting your own successful company is something else, and I found it much harder than getting into FANG, but it requires very different skills and I'm sure some people are better at the former.
That's a false equivalence. Some languages make it much easier to create race conditions than others. For example, you have to work hard to avoid them in C, but you'd have to actually try to introduce them in Clojure.
First, it’s called “baby bullet express service”. Second, even the high-speed trains in China do not travel at high speed in city core (IIRC <80kph).
If any of those systems use deep learning, they _by design_ will not necessarily recognize a _dummy_ as a _person_, particularly in difficult lighting conditions or if the dummy does not show up on IR (if the system is multi-spectral).
There are mock interview sites, like Pramp.com, Gianlo.co, PracticeCodingInterview.com that all have staff+ FANG interviewers on rotation. They aren’t cheap, but they’re there.
Because moderation doesn't scale.

Case in point - youtube. They changed their demonitization algo in response to complaints and now they have complaints from other users that the algo is producing false positives. For example, the "Great War" history podcast had 100s of youtube videos demonitized because they talk about storm troopers and Nazis, which of course isn't great if you are a Nazi, but maybe ok if you're a history podcast.

The issue is that each video generates on an individual level so little money for youtube that it just doesn't pay to have an individual go through each and every video on their platform and make a value judgement on worth. I mean anyone can upload a video for free and each watch of a video is maybe at maximum a few cents from an advertiser in profit to youtube.

Facebook and all other content aggregation web forums face the same conundrum. And the problem doesn't get better if we invent new algos or people more efficiently (somehow). On the one hand you now have an algo that determines what can be said or not said en masse and is making the decisions in an increasingly black box (as the heuristics will be by necessity rather complicated), on the other you have the very poor filtering videos or at the very least fallible human judgement still at the wheel on what gets to be said and not said.

Who watches the watchers? At the moment we have a handful of powerful media conglomerates that effectively control through monopsony almost all the social media on the internet. What, we've got Alibaba, Facebook, youtube, reddit, and instagram - that covers at a rough guess like 60-70% of social media traffic? But these are companies that are only successful at scale - you go on a social media platform because all your friends are on it (a la the myspace model) and you are given a "free" user experience because aggregating millions of people allows for a few cents in ad revenue per user to subsidize the servers at scale.

This problem is probably baked into the cake of this particular pattern and isn't fixable. Boy is it going to be wild when we finally crack how to make deep fake videos!
The founders have no reason to care, they can pull out cash whenever they want. All the incentives are to stay private as long as possible.

Am currently a software engineer with an interest in ML that has about 2 years of experience in Python. I am especially interested in ML as it can be applied to biotech (e.g. genetics) as I have a background in chemistry (esp. organic chemistry) that I believe will be relevant.
Im a complete newb to this. Can someone not sell their shares freely, regardless of public staus, if they do their own marketing?
maybe it's got something to do with your arrogance. every time a positive story about China comes out where you could learn something from it and go hey that's inspiring why don't we try to emulate that. no no no instead of doing that constructive thing you indulge the ego protective fake payoff of criticizing China dismissing the achievements on the basis of made-up and double standards so-called human rights. and all kinds of other mental gymnastics to protect yourself perception and make it easier to avoid facing the reality of China's rise and learning something from their achievements. c
I like both the US and China but I think this Western ego protective pathology that the West has towards a different system achieving success is only hurting the West because instead of as you say being a shining example it is an example of decay and stagnation.

when China was struggling relatively compared to the West they opened their minds and looked Westward to absorb all the best ideas and try to emulate them and make them their own. and that succeeded wonderfully. so in the ideal sense competition and cooperation between great palace should proceed along these lines of mutual respect on inspiration and emulation. then everyone can go up together. when the free market of ideas is held back by ideology or the desire to protect once he go that gets in the way of the introspection required to create the improvements then you won't get the results.

so whatever the geopolitical justifications the more the fires of anti-chinese sentiment in the US has started the more the US Mass consciousness is unable to absorb and progressing learn from the achievements of China. stagnation and decay inevitably results.

this has nothing to do with the Trump ERA this sort of pathological aversion to introspection has been part of Western mindset probably since colonial times.

maybe the West just like a self-destructive adolescent? the youngest empire maybe they're not accustomed to the responsibilities of that and so they act out self-destructively. perhaps China more mature and grounded in a sense of their mission as a civilization is more accustomed to taking on the responsibilities of long-term growth?

I really like the US. and if I think about if America was a person in my high school class it would be the bully always picking fights, with the fragile ego and whenever anyone else achieved they want to insult them and bring them down. it's quite a toxic personality. China would be the hard-working achiever that was a firm in its own perspective and also trying to build alliances without the coercion of conflict. either one would be perfect but everyone could see which one was holding themselves back by refusing to be inspired by others achievements. inkling in an entitled man into their own sense of Glory that was hard won but perhaps is forgotten also needs to be continually recreated.

just some perspective.
Editing out of context can be managed by having a predictable reputation which most people have, but it's in the dark. Editing out of existence is scarier. The police body cam footage disappearing means there's already holes in the net. If we grow to rely on non-public surveillance and data, the record can be changed behind the scenes. Increasingly so as deep fakes and video fakery grows.

I've already had my 15 mins of severe negative attention. It was a relief in some sense that for some sectors of life at least, it has no long lasting negative repercussions.

There was a DEFCON talk about statistical deanonymization of data. You can relatively easily correlate points of data like URL visits down to a few identities that can be validated. It's easy to identify anonymised data. This ID'd a german judge who liked to watch porn of a particular taste during chambers and some of the working day. The more these stories grow in number, the more we have to ask questions about what is normal for people in society to do and how we manage the privacy of those acts. The 15mins of negative attention is to boldly go to the frontier of this stuff at the moment.
Oh yeah, and the first actually usable form of Bayesian Theorem would be probabilistic graphical models with max-sum algorithm. Good luck mastering that quickly or at all!

Reading the Wikipedia page on HSR in China, maybe they don't respect individual land rights, but it does seem like the government does respond to some extent to citizens concerns.

"Residents living along the proposed maglev route have raised health concerns about noise and electromagnetic radiation emitted by the trains, despite an environmental assessment by the Shanghai Academy of Environmental Sciences saying the line was safe.[26] These concerns have prevented the construction of the proposed extension of the maglev to Hangzhou."

"In 2003, the MOR was believed to favor Japan's Shinkansen technology, especially the 700 series.[29] However, Chinese citizens angry with Japan's denial of World War II atrocities organized a web campaign to oppose the awarding of HSR contracts to Japanese companies. The protests gathered over a million signatures and politicized the issue.[31] The MOR delayed the decision, broadened the bidding and adopted a diversified approach to adopting foreign high-speed train technology."
They can do this by adding a cap. Say max $0.50 fine per book, and max $10 per account.

Then you are motivated to return the book, but if you mess up the fine is not so high as to be ruinous.

Do you really think these companies are just following what shareholders are telling them?
Shares can be bought and sold privately. They don't need to be publicly listed to cash out.
Even those that don't will usually allow you to return it at the desk, and check it right back out, to reset the renewal cap.
Do you mean admins? Because mod teams are self-selecting once a subreddit is up and running and if you don’t like a subreddit you can always start your own. People don’t vote for mods but they participate in subreddits they like.

In Albert Hirschman’s typology it’s all exit, voice and loyalty are irrelevant.
Being cynical, it makes the most sense to go public when you yourself don't believe in much growth anymore, but can still sell it to the unsophisticated public investor. Otherwise you keep running and pumping up the valuation.
Are you implying America discriminates against the mentally ill?
Why do they "deserve" to? I fail to see how they're owed anything (that wasn't in their contract); it's business, and venture capitalists aren't innocent when it comes to harming businesses due to greed.
You fix warnings on all of them.

All major compilers come with a way to suppress the particular warning in a particular file if all else fails.
This is not accurate. There are large number of jobs that have a directly impact, as part of solid teams working on things for the right reasons.
An oem is perfect for that use-case and most allow chaining of the above in any order.
That subreddit is one of the most vile places on Reddit. All they do is post pictures of other people's homes and mock both the home and the people living them. If you're some antisocial type who can't live in a city nobody's stoping you from living in the suburbs.

I'm not convinced fascism really exists in the modern world anymore. I tried searching for self-described fascists on the internet, and I encountered one mans geocity page that claimed he was running for US President in 2008. He admired Mussolini and Saddam Hussein, and had roman inspired costumes on. I checked the results of that election and it turns out no one voted for him, so perhaps even he was a hoax.

Ethno-nationalism is definitely thing. But if that's the same thing as fascism, then the entire western front of WWII was a huge inter-fascist struggle.

So what do you think fascism is, and where do you think it exists? Could you point me to a website of fascists?

EDIT: Thinking about this further, if fascism = ethno-nationalism to you, or even ethno-nationalism + a dictatorship, then Mainland China is arguably a fascist state. How many hundreds of millions of them do you think should be shot? That's a lot of bullets.
What number of things will happen?

This argument is so unbelievably stupid, that I don't even know where to begin.

First of all, encryption in WhatsApp is targeted towards consumers. You won't catch terrorists by limiting encryption. If terrorists and other criminals are not using encryption anyway, then they are so stupid that they deserve to be caught.

The only thing a lack of privacy does is throwing us further into dictatorship. Just imagine a madmen, like uhm... say Trump, with the full power of the secret service behind him and limited to privacy for end-users. Well this is just great. All the dirt he can dig up about his opponents. He asks foreign governments to dig up dirt, okay, that means right now the NSA isn't too much inclined to help this guy out, but what if they were?

If you water down privacy you are robbing the people of their only chance to organize protests and rise up to authoritarian governments.

Last but not least, the crimes prevented by not using encryption are absolutely negligible. The numbers are so freaking low that each day more people will die in car accidents in the US alone than would die globally because of pervasive usage of unbreakable encryption.

This analogy of `Uh a person could be prevented from getting raped is more important than preventing a fall into dictatorship` is so contrived that I don't even understand how anyone can eat this shit. Bad things happen all over the place and you are buying this sham argument that is preying on human psychology.
China's Uighur muslims: The search for lost children
Ask HN: What was your experience joining a pre-seed round startup?
A small pre-seed startup reached out about an opportunity. Met with the CEO to learn more. There is a co-founder but neither of them are technical. They have an MVP with some customers. Product is interesting but in a competitive market.

The current team of developers/engineers are all moonlighting on contract until presumably the company secures seed funding and can hire full time. There are talks with investors but no estimate of when they are ready to hire full time.

The contract pay is reasonable, paid monthly. There are also promises of stock options and great wealth if successful, taken with a grain of salt. But I don't really have the expected 20-30 hours a week to moonlight. And CEO was transparent that he is actively hiring for people with no work-life balance.

Has anybody made a leap like this?
What made you go for it? How common is this story in the startup world?

All I see is a bunch of red flags but hoping to get a sanity check.

As another commenter below notes, a recommendation is to spend one second reviewing each card. Thus, your cards are generally quite simple. This can very easily lead to a patchwork of simple details, but no glue holding them together. I’ve come to believe that the mental effort it takes to understand something should be prioritised over memorisation. If you’re relatively busy and spending a lot of time doing Anki cards, you may be limiting your opportunities for this kind of challenge.

It really sounds like a "not true Scotsman" argument, but I've had Agile fail when the team failed to use Agile. As I wrote above, points inevitably became a proxy for time in one manner or another. Production was pinned to a certain number of points (say 15 per developer per sprint).

I can't throw it all on management either. People who should know better will accept 2 days worth of points for conducting training or attending a workshop.

Largely, though, I would say it's a simple matter of not understanding how Agile works at all. It has just become, "you score points for doing stuff" (in proportion to time, but it's not time, but it is).
Private equity funds do not invest in early stage companies; perhaps you mean venture capital funds?

This ignores network effects. Significant community forks are pretty rare in Reddit's history, and launching a new subreddit is not a trivial thing to do - that goes double since you can expect mods to suppress all mention of the new community since they have absolutely no constraints on their conduct.

I always hear about identity being tied to work, but I wonder if that's been tested in recent years. Pre-internet, sure, that makes sense. But now that you can do literally anything you want as long as you have the free time to learn it, and you can be instantly connected to like-minded groups. I'm not so sure that work is the source of identity that people think it is.
I worked in a lab over the summer to develop non-invasive methods to give quadriplegics control over a robotic arm. Although implants have a ways to go, this development is encouraging. I'm excited to see where this technology will go, hopefully it will lead to giving quadriplegics more autonomy in their lives.
