Ask HN: How do you convince people to work for you as a non-exciting startup?
Most great companies attract people because they have a great mission which is marketed well. Say you have a great commercial startup idea but not a great marketable vision (Think of a B2B software that'd help people with xyz), how do you convince good people to join you? You can't say - "This is the greatest thing the world has ever seen". Is it only money then?

In 1597 the artist would have been 68. In 1697 he would have been 168.

What is actually the topic of debate here? Surely not whether this bronze casting was created by this artist?

I've written this in another comment but I'll repeat here. What you're asking really boils down to a combination of whether a human brain can be simulated and whether human intelligence is merely due to the physical brain (or do you believe in the existence of some intangible consciousness that cannot be replicated by a machine). Assume you believe both to be true, then your simulated brain is surely able to drown in existential dread because it's capable of no more and no less than the human one.
I'm pretty sure WeChat is up to a ton of shady stuff that will probably eventually come out. Chinese government involvement combined with the level of permissions it asks for screams bad things to me.
Before winning against the best people meant you were at the leading edge of Go and were on the fore-front of discovering whatever are its mysteries.

Now, you are at best a subaltern to software in this pursuit. In time you might not even been involved beyond receiving what the machine hands down to you. You can still learn something, but you'll be reading National Geographic rather than personally exploring unchartered territory.

Some people need the meaning of the larger quest. Others are just happy to play Go and enjoy learning what the guide book can teach them.

Both perspectives make sense to me.
This was almost scary to read. There is such a stark contrast between what I would call naïve (not necessarily bad) science fiction, focusing on the particulars of a technology, or setting contemporary stories in scifi settings, and this little piece, explaining not Spotify, but the implications of Spotify, to the audience of 1928.

This and “the machine stops” are among the most incredible things I have ever read, and I wonder what other gems might be written today about a future we should see but we don’t because we are so caught up in our pasts.
Strict or no, Google actually fails at accessibility a lot. The basically broken unergonomic keybindings in docs for starters and the entire fiasco that is Android come to mind immediately. For a really "fun" fail that's recent, Youtube recommendations are now a live region. This means that if you leave that tab focused, your screen reader just starts reading things while you're trying to play music and are across the room and can't stop it. That seems like a minor example except the whole point of Youtube is hearing things so that's kind of a big ball for someone to drop, thinking that live regions are a good plan. Things have improved some (I no longer hate the GCP console) but my point is that strict about accessibility doesn't mean good at accessibility by any means, and Google has a deservedly bad reputation in blindness circles that they earned over a very long time.
At the very least that is more readable due to the indents and the extra syntax. Depending on what language you're using, those different common groups of tokens do communicate context, whereas a dozen right-parens on a single line really don't.
I’d expect that change at some point in the near future.
As far as I am aware, the association with aortic aneurysm is weak ( I think a relative risk of 2) from an associate only study (ie no causation proven). So take these with a pinch of salt, especially for those with a penicillin allergy as covering some bugs without penicillins or flouroquinolones can be tricky.

Clang has been getting better and better over time. Getting rid of GCC is a no-brainer now, but maybe not at the start of the decade.

GPL has long caused a problem for people who want to tightly integrate software - LLVM and Clang with Xcode for example - and reap the benefits. When GPL software has to be used taped to the end of a stick like GCC, it’s a constraint for their vision. Maybe someone who knows this better than I do will refute this point, but I don’t think that the code analysis tools and developer assistance in Xcode would be possible with GCC.
I've only now taken a look at the truck from all sides, and it does many things that I've thought of from the standpoint of new design movements being reactions to previous design movements.

IMO we're currently sorta ripe for cohesive neo-neo-modernism in consumer tech, after the plenty of show-offery and getting designs ever more ‘friendly’. We've seen that shift in e.g. aluminum Macbooks after earlier iMacs, but cars seem to trail behind since there's apparently no design nerd like Jobs there. Cars are all bulbous and curvy now. The closest to a modernist car that's not looking outright DIY, is the first-generation Audi TT: just a rounded box on another rounded box.

So what would a modernist car feature nowadays? Let's look at the Cybertruck:

- Resurrects the wedge shape and makes the panels even flatter than they were in the 80s, instead of the ubiquitous ‘curve on curve’ of today after we learned to shape panels whatever which way. Lots of cars from the hatchback wave of the past decade, like Opel Astra J, looked simultaneously family- and rally-oriented with no discernible design statement: that feels like baroque indulgence, it's got to stop.

- A flat, straight LED line of light instead of barely-comprehensible current headlights. (Just two giant flat rectangular panels would also do pretty good, but would resemble SUVs from the 90s.)

- No decoration of any kind on the front. This one is important, and Tesla did well here. It's pretty much the last bastion of brand-specific decoration when cars all look the same shape—but (afaik) even the radiator grille on ICE cars is only for appearance now, and Tesla has already shown that it's ready to dispose of that. With the truck, the deed is done.

Funny enough, even recently most attempts at artistic depictions of ‘future cars’ imagined them more complex, not less. It will be curious to see how designs turn around now.

I don’t think this certainty about this being “PR bullshit” is warranted at all, and feels a bit like knee-jerk cynicism.

The actions as described in the press release seem to me both plausible and reasonable. Banning multiaccounts for severe infractions makes sense, and it also makes sense that this account could have been caught up in that.

As for the video takedown... you may underestimate the consistency of human moderators. They are often under intense time pressures and mistakes are made all the time. There is also the potential for individual moderators to apply their own bias to the report outside of company policy. With a 50 mins reversal of the takedown, that seems plausible.

If they are not outright lying, it does seem like the title is accurate and not at all misleading. It does sound like a moderation mishap.
I am not talking primarily about open source projects, but about closed source projects with LGPL components on app stores. You’d need the proprietary main object from them. Also, requiring that your users have an Apple dev account before they can execute their rights is problematic at best. I am not alone in rejecting Qt on these grounds, in favour of some MIT or similarly licensed alternative.

I don't think so. Ubuntu paved the way for non-technical users, and unfortunately this is evident in the quality of a large number of bug reports that we receive.

Trying to stay objective, it's certainly not in dispute that Ubuntu is also "advertised as the user / noob friendly option" and continues to take this stance.

From this perspective, the difference between Debian user feedback and Ubuntu user feedback is night and day (I'm also a Debian developer). I don't think the difference between Ubuntu and Mint is anything nearly like that.
While they were being tracked or only once the case was being built and the tracking was revealed?

Who are these people? Managers? Would the union organisers have been tracking calendars to find times the managers are not walking the aisles so the unionists could talk to the staff about unionising?

In such a circumstance I imagine I as a hypothetical manager being coerced into a union-busting exercise could arrange to feel threatened by this calendar-monitoring behaviour.

As for the copies outside the office: we want to bring the union lawyers and membership folks around to talk about joining the union, here’s the manager’s schedule for the next week.

Mentions of Security Vulnerabilities on Reddit, Twitter and GitHub
The GPL has no power that owners of proprietary code don't already have. The GPL is a software license under copyright law which grants certain permissions subject to certain conditions. If you don't fulfill those conditions, standard copyright law takes effect.

The GPL does not on its own have the power to "infect" the rest of your codebase. You can absolutely decide you want to distribute GPL'd software compiled in with proprietary software for which you don't want to release the source. The owner of the GPL software still does not, at this point, have any right to your source. All they can do is say, since you have not obeyed the conditions, you don't have a valid license for my software, and I am now ready to sue you for infringement.

You can resolve this situation by relicensing the proprietary components under the GPL and distributing source, if you'd like. GPLv3 has an explicit provision that says, if you do this within 30 days of being notified of the problem, the license retroactively does apply to you and it wasn't infringement. Many major GPLv2 rightsholders have voluntarily adopted the same condition for their GPLv2 code: https://gplcc.github.io/gplcc/

You can also resolve the situation by settling with them out of court, going to court and paying damages, going to court and arguing it was fair use / de minimis / whatever, trying to buy them out, etc. If you're willing to do any of those, then you don't have to release your source. (If you go to court and lose, you will probably be ordered to not further distribute the GPL'd code in violation of the license.)

None of this is specific to the GPL. If you use proprietary code without a license at all, the rightsholders can still sue you. You can still negotiate with them. You can still fight it out in court. The rightsholder can even choose to say, "Hey, you know what? If you release the entire source code to your product publicly, we'll drop this case." They have the ability to negotiate that with you because that's the same ability GPL rightsholders have.

GPL is considered "viral" because, for most people, releasing the rest of your source code is preferable to losing in court for regular copyright infringement. With proprietary software, if it's found out that you've misused someone's code, they probably will not offer you that viral option - they'll go straight for the monetary damages. If you don't consider that fatal, then you shouldn't fear that situation with the GPL, either.

The current GPL3 is idealistic. It is politically motivated. We live in a capitalist world. That is the fact. No comment on the value of either. The fact is the companies are motivated by money. That is the way it works. GPL3 is scary from that point of view.
yeah, I have no idea which attributes might be the 'cause', and probably a lot of HNers probably match a lot of that anyway. But it's interesting to be on the lookout for correlations.
Docker has its own security nightmares and mis-designs -- for instance, are you using user namespaces? With LXC and LXD user namespaces are the default (and unlike Docker's design, they can use different ID mappings which blocks inter-container attacks). There are plenty of other missteps I can think of.

(I am a maintainer of runc and have contributed to Docker for a long time, as well as collaborated with the LXC folks.)
Oh man, finally a use for that network I trained on MNIST!
IMHO, if you need an editor with paren-matching and auto-indenting (and maybe even syntax highlighting) just to make working with your language tolerable, that's a possible design flaw in the language.

I know it's heresy in a Lisp thread to claim that it's possible for a language to have too little syntax, but I can write Javascript, C and C++ just fine in Notepad or Sublime Text if I want.

This seems weird, I don't know you would want to link your enjoyment with a game to it's unsolvability.

Like don't you enjoy a game to enjoy a game? You can't beat Carlsen either, but you enjoyed the game at your level. Now computers are Carlsen +1, but how you enjoy the game shouldn't be affected. Especially since deep blue won in '97 and the game is still very alive and well, it hasn't been killed by computers but enhanced. Coupled with the multitude of good chess sites and resources out there, it's a better time than ever to enjoy the game.
Used this for my recent home remodel. Definitely in the oldie but goodie category. Makes me wish for more software like it.
I think SBC's diagnosis is right, but his prescription is wrong. I applaud SBC for calling out the problem (and I agree it is a problem) and for raising awareness, but I think we need to keep shopping for a better solution.

He's effectively making the same arguments that FOSTA-SESTA made (which led to the closing of personals sections of Craigslist among other liability-transferring impacts), but for all of social media. His call was for all internet companies to pre-vet every single user-generated-content before anyone else sees it or be held liable for user-submitted content. It likely does solve the problem, but it swings the pendulum _very_ _far_ in the other direction towards corporate censorship and over-censorship to prevent any possibility of liability.

This is late-stage capitalism in action. Companies in the {social media, advertising, sales} space all have utility functions centered around attacking the weaknesses of the human mind. It just so happens that governments and political parties are in the same industry using the same tactics.

I just don't see SBC's prescription working in a country with a constitutionally mandated Freedom of Speech (where the jurisprudence only disallows speech if it is a direct and specific call to action of violence). And it it does, Newspeak will be the only language supported on the platform.

It's not, both because it's incoherent English, and because it doesn't tell us what distinguishes this framework within the space of new frameworks.

I'm not sure why programming code embedded in HTML is substantially worse than the reverse (e.g., JSX). We're mixing syntax and concerns either way.

> There are two big changes in GPL v3. The first is that it explicitly prohibits patent lawsuits against people for actually using the GPL-licensed software you ship. The second is that it carefully prevents TiVoization, locking down hardware so that people can’t actually run the software they want.

> So, which of those things are they planning for OS X, eh?

Seems pretty obvious in retrospect (and probably would have been obvious at the time, too) - they don't care about locking down Macs, but they do care about locking down iPhones and iPads. The remaining GPL software, which has stayed steady for a couple of releases, are all things you don't need on iOS: emacs, screen, etc.
This new proposed mitigation builds upon other work, such as libc/ld.so random re-linking at boot, and opportunistic enforcement of syscalls from only un-writable pages by default.

I met Jack a number of years ago. He did not strike me as someone interested in stifling free speech. Although he was incredibly successful, even then, his values seemed to be high above those of most mortals. One of these values that he explicitly mentioned was free speech. Additionally, while discussing our accomplishments, he stated that he had an IQ of 155. My own is 160, which is above his, but he nonetheless seemed almost as intelligent as me, which I am certainly not used to.

Unlikely. The F-117 looks like a "low polygon" airplane because it literally is a "low polygon" airplane. The 3d electromagnetic field solvers running on the fastest computers available at the time of the development of the F-117 were only capable of simulating an object with a small number of facets so engineers designed an airplane that could fly with a minimum number of polygon facets.

Beyond licensing, there are software design/architectural issues at play, ala:

Clang is designed as an API from its inception, allowing it to be reused by source analysis tools, refactoring, IDEs (etc) as well as for code generation. GCC is built as a monolithic static compiler, which makes it extremely difficult to use as an API and integrate into other tools. Further, its historic design and current policy makes it difficult to decouple the front-end from the rest of the compiler.
