Things which could make YC Startup School better

1) Using a better video conferencing tool like Zoom instead of the existing tool. I (and our cohort) consistently had bad experience and it drained out the energy to communicate with fellow participants in an useful way.

2) Connecting with participants who can be complementary (based on startup stage / startup vertical) instead of random grouping based on geography/time zone.

3) This one is debatable. Personally I would like to Stick with the same cohort every week. (Maybe if there is a request to change, we could get transferred). Instead of explaining your startup idea every time to a new cohort (imho, startup pitching practice is not the most important thing), we could talk about weekly progress / practical problems / solutions with earlier context when we have the same cohort. It also helps in growing the accountability to the cohort. I am sure regular YC is operated that way.
Knowing Facebook it seems like they would rather corner that market themselves.

Any statement they make is open for change at a later date if management changes their mind. You’d be better off thinking about moving to a browser made by a company that whose privacy protections don’t exist in a perpetual conflict of interest with the company’s dominant revenue source
I agree with you. There's almost never a free meal, nor a reason why there should be. I still think a lot of jobs today are unimportant and exist due to people's lack of options.

I also agree with loh's comment here: "I dream of a future where everyone has all of their basic needs met through technology, giving people the capacity to focus on doing the things they are naturally good at doing, things they enjoy"

It would seem that the current system in place is what's required to get there, but maybe it's just slow to change for good.
LGPL was decided by Nokia who bought the IP from Trolltech for ~150 Mio $ and also came up for the development costs up to Qt 5.1. Digia and The Qt Company "bought" the IP for about 5 Mio $ from Nokia and now earn money with commercial licenses of a library where the most important development steps were already done before. According to the commit logs the contribution rate of Nokia was at ~80%, wheras the Qt Company is rather at ~40% and with focus on stuff they can sell. I regularly meet people who bought a licence to use the Qt framework not realizing that they could use it under LGPL. I know the wording of the commercial license. It places the licensee clearly worse than with the LGPL variant. Personally, I find the business practices of this company, which have been observed for some time, rather questionable.I had a commercial license with Trolltech, which cost me a lot of money. As soon as LGPL was available, I cancelled the contracts and avoided projects that could not be done with LGPL rather than signing such a single-edge contract with this company.
Pretty much this. They entered the lottery and lost. The terrible irony is that as awful as grad school frequently is, you still have a clear purpose and some degree of social status and you haven't lost the lottery yet. Which is to say... unless your skills are highly marketable in industry (probably meaning you are in engineering or science) things will likely get much worse once you graduate.

Several Ph.D.'s I know work in jobs largely unrelated to their qualification and interest simply because there aren't many jobs outside of academia that make good direct use of a humanities Ph.D.; some languished for years in adjunct positions before giving up in hopelessness and frustration. Some work as administrators, however - universities seem to value administrators with Ph.D.'s, and at least you get to work at a university and interact with students occasionally. And you can, uh, still teach as an adjunct on the side. Maybe.

The sad truth is that universities (in the US at least) are almost feudal systems, built on the backs of adjuncts (who do the teaching) and grad students (who do the research.) Yet in spite of an absurdly cheap workforce, tuition is incredibly expensive and universities drink money like water.
Both of those examples (regardless of whether or not you think sex work should be a criminal matter) are still people knowingly committing crimes.

It doesn't matter whether it was a bait roll of copper wire or a real roll that some person neglected to secure properly, the problem is that they had an opportunity to steal, and took it. Intent matters.
Ok you're right I must have been looking at late night options.

Kong is radical in that it only stores keys on the secure element and only stores code in the EVM.

Kong is a toy implementation of this idea, but I think it's a very powerful idea.
It implies it. Ethernet at 84B per frame is the smallest you can go, thus the line rate - some examples:

Isn't there a third argument in favor of retraining those workers to do less labor intensive jobs? We have plenty of immigrants that would love to have those jobs at those wages, so retraining would be better for both groups, no?
> Nobody should be forced to have an electrical outlet in the garage for an electric car and the government has no business requiring that.

That one regulation is marginal compared to the effects of very restrictive zoning for density and transit, which is usually a tool most effectively implemented by highly exclusive locales.
Oh interesting! I looked into making a mac "automator" shortcut that hid notifications on a specific key press, but didn't end up following through
As advertised. You wanted a change, you got it. /s
it is none of these things. The value of cryptocurrency swings wildly, the primary way to interact with it is through exchanges which are ordinary trusted institutions, and they are far from globally useable.

What you are missing is that I need to pay my bills in practice, not in theory. I measure the value of cryptocurrency against what it delivers in practice, not on the white paper of the people who are going to benefit from its adoption.
Because tons of people do difficult and dirty jobs, that is how the world works around you. I'm on 100% side of the workers but people having cozy office jobs are simply disconnected with the reality.
Sad to see another project going political.
Peer-to-peer validation is the point of bitcoin. That we can extend that concept to cash is the point of Kong.
You can debug such containers by running another debugging container to join their corresponding namespaces. For example the most frequently used namespaces are pid and network, with these two namespaces joined the target container, you can see its pid and binary as well as the network traffic.

For docker and k8s, there are two helpful tools which implement what I said with simple and intuitive UI:

* https://github.com/zeromake/docker-debug

* https://github.com/aylei/kubectl-debug

Edit: Add links for the helper tools.
Yes.

The point of discussion here is that the Linux kernel struggles to do line rate 10Gbps. This was misinterpreted as "the Linux kernel struggles to do 10Gbps".
The account creation doesn't ask for a user name. But the log in does? I created an account but I don't know my user name.
Okay, I'm probably your exact target demographic - I have about 1,300 hours in Rocksmith and I'm obsessed with it, but often find myself wanting more "pro" features like Guitar Pro has. So hopefully you'll find my feedback useful...

On the tab interface:
- Seeing a blob of 6 numbers come isn't intuitive enough. The strings REALLY need to be colored. You should be able to get away with using the same colors as Rocksmith, as there's generic sets of strings using those (https://www.guitarcenter.com/DR-Strings/Hi-Def-NEON-Multi-Co...) - or at least make them configurable. It's hard for me to tell which string is which in fatpick.

- Bar lines for the beat/measure changes would be helpful.

- Chords saying their name above them would be a huge help - "G" is much easier to parse quickly than "355433"!

Practice mode:
- Just adjusting playback speed isn't enough. To be actually useful, fatpick needs something like Rocksmith's Riff Repeater, where you can select a section, loop it at a selected speed, and have it increase 1% each time you get the notes right. In fact, here's where you can outshine Rocksmith, since Rocksmith only lets you select entire sections, whereas you could make it so you could really drill in on notes

Audio:
- Being able to play the audio file instead of just guitar pro-style midi would be a huge bonus. Don't make it required, so you can still just import a quick GP file to play, but for curated tracks or imported Rocksmith psarcs (see my comment elsewhere about psarcjs), the real audio would be great.
- Even better... multitrack audio! Just play the song .mp3 if that's all there is, but there's plenty of multitrack ogg's sourced from rock band / guitar hero floating out there. For these songs you could play with your chosen instrument removed - IE, pick a song with a multitrack ogg, pick the bass part, the audio engine wouldn't play the bass part but would play the rest.

- Some kind of effects on the guitar would be nice. Using an AxefxIII and Loopback I can mix in real guitar sounds with the game, but most of your demographic won't have that ability, so being able to pick an AC/DC song and have basic distortion effects will be a must.

Anyways, after playing with fatpick for 20 minutes I'm going to go back to Rocksmith. Will check on this in a month though and see how far along it is - there's a lot of potential here!

We've had innumerable discussions about the practical impossibility of what various Governments are asking for in relation to encryption. Those who know... know. There's no more debate needed, the mathematics speaks for itself, the history of security breaches speaks for itself (and is only ever gaining in its volume of evidence).

The technology industry needs a template reply referring to the obvious examples of the two pillars, mathematics and history of security breaches, to dismissively reply to any further such requests now and anytime in the future. We shouldn't need to get caught up in any of their cleverly constructed strawman arguments and appeals to emotion. Those who keep bringing these topics up are essentially performing a DoS on the technology industry by tying up resources having to argue established fundamental truths and logic over and over.

So, why do we have to keep spinning our tyres on this?

1. Control: The well established push towards surveillance and the police state that protects the status quo. Technology has accelerated the enablement of this.

2. Power: The powers-that-be don't like being told by 'nerds and geeks' what is and is not possible, despite the very same 'nerds and geeks' creating the technology that has enabled the acceleration of Control. The technology industry's continued non-compliance undermines their desired image of Power.

But, because this whole argument is so purely a power play it's not likely to stop (without fundamental changes to the fabric of society at least). As such, a template reply is needed to mitigate this DoS
I am continually impressed with how amazing photopea is. Probably one of the most impressive web apps ever.
Isn't that worse, a big brother in the middle watching everything and even doing TLS termination? Unless it's running on a Tor-like distributed system?

Peak charging rate currently for a Tesla Model 3 at a v3 Supercharger is a bit over 1,000 miles per hour. It can't maintain that rate for very long to avoid battery degradation, but it could very well do 160 miles in 10 minutes or 200 in 15.

So... not quite yet, but not out of the range of the possible in the near future.
As somebody who has owned 3 different EVs (LEAF, Model X, and now I-PACE), I find this article a bit hyperbolic. Okay, it's a rather poorly-researched fluff piece that wouldn't pass muster in any of the subreddits I frequent. I'd expect something with more substance here at HN.

That said, I no longer drive an EV when I do road trips over 150 miles. I replaced one of my EVs with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), so my household has one BEV and one PHEV.

The reason for having plug-in capability in both cars is because the "full tank every morning" part is amazing. The reason for having gas capability in one car is because the convenience of using gasoline on longer road trips is amazing. With a PHEV, you don't have to compromise in either case (around-town or road trip).

Individual situations can be highly varying, and so for some people all-BEV can work. In my family's case, we have one 150-mile trip that we do about 8 times a year where we can charge at the destination. The BEV can make that trip direct in pretty much any weather conditions without a problem. There's another trip we do to see family in another state that's 230 miles away, and we can't charge at their house. Can't do that one comfortably in the BEV, so we usually just take the PHEV for that one.

However with the BEV it's possible to do the 230-mile trip since there are Electrify America (EA) rapid charging stations both along the way and at the destination. Along the 150-mile trip there are in fact four EA locations, so if something weird or unexpected happens with the distance driven or the destination charging, there's no problem getting a quick charge at one of those stations. In any case it's been working out to just an extra 30 minutes of charging maybe 2 or 3 times a year, during which we can grab a bite to eat or get some shopping done. Really no big deal at all.

All that said, I would never attempt to drive a Tesla on a trip where I'd need to rapid charge frequently during times like spring break, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. You're beholden to a single proprietary rapid charging infrastructure, and that's very likely to suffer "hot spots" that are difficult to predict and that can ruin your day. The unpredictability, I would imagine, is due to Tesla being a victim of its own success. Having more cars on the road means that there ends up being more "tail-end" situations in the population.

Typical rails/django-style migrations have the problem of being coupled to a particular app/language - so you'll need to work directly at the level of the database.

You should add as much testing as possible - ideally have a central project that manages the database structure, and test each change carefully. Within each app, explicitly test that the app supports the intended new schema before moving to it.

Use a schema diff tool to autogenerate migration scripts and check that they result in a perfectly matching schema - I wrote `migra` that works with postgres, but there are good equivalents for most databases.
Flagged as seizure-inducing flashing is dangerous.
For point one you can grab the running container tag and then add a layer on top with any tools you need.

You obviously won’t get the same operational state but if you want to poke around a container you’ve built and see what’s in it, you can just extend it.
That's not a bugfix. Not having it won't make you any worse off than you were for the last decade. You're not put a risk.

There's always someone posting a comment like this in every EV thread -- I'm hoping someday it will be a guy who pees in a bottle in order to minimize stops.
I go like having sidewalks. I do like setbacks. The rest of it, some of it is outdated for modern society (tenement housing), but most others are mostly okay and good options (like density in small towns, mixed use housing, multiplexes in appropriate locations (town centers). I think context matters. I would not want multiplexes in the middle of a leafy neighborhood, but certainly should be okay next to busier areas like shopping boulevards and shopping districts, etc.
Kong seems worthless to me. ETH has demonstrated it's not a reliable store of value, if the DAO hack can just be reversed.

Instead of garbage paper tokens, here's a thing that already exists:

... can be used just like cash

... isn't limited to a particular denomination

... value can be added at any time

... fits in your butt

"doesnt output source code" would work.
Good news then; parent specifically did not bring any of that up. Their observation can be just as easily explained by an anti female discrimination earlier in the pipeline, or even (much more controversial) explanations that involve no discrimination.

I think I can guess which camp you fall into. I don't think I have given any indication on this thread as to which camp I fall into. I have absolutely no idea which camp parent falls into, and I don't see how anyone could infer from their short post on this thread (I haven't looked through their history, nor do I intend to).

Parent made an anecdotal observations. You are free to argue that the observation is wrong (as other responders have)..

I suppose you could even engage with the underlying issue that parent specifically avoided. Although I suspect that you would, unfortunately, run into precisely the issue that parent was afraid of.

At this point, I think it is clear that this subject is toxic. That is very unfortunate, but probably one of the only things all sides can agree on. Given that, we should do our best to quarantine the toxicity and not let it infect adjacent topics.

In the case of parent, what other options did they have? If they must omit the observation entirely, we are ignoring an entirely on-point observation for fear that it has polically incorrect implications for an unrelated or tangentially related subject. If they omit the problamatic condition, they are outright lieing, and introducing a false anecdote into the discourse.
Tint used to be tied in closely to the car-audio community. It is also an indication you spend money on your car, and on other luxury items. Notice how often cars with obviously aftermarket tint also have aftermarket wheels. Pretty good target if you ask me. That said, if you leave your macbook on the seat in clear view, broadcasting bluetooth, or blasting music, the non-tinted car will suddenly be disadvantaged.

I used to like tint, but found it was a bigger cop magnet than a crime magnet personally.
I don’t think its misleading in a malicious way. But it is misleading in the sense that the title did not at all describe the ultimate content. I would not have clicked if I knew where it lead. The confused comments here show I'm not the only one.

The actual story behind this is quite interesting. I wish there was a blog post with more details. Perhaps if they were forced to use proper titles we might have got that.

I don’t argue with your authority to vary the rules. I just wanted to provide feedback.

It's just another variant on how right now, gmail can decide to spambin all the email you send, and it really doesn't matter why it decided to do it or who you are, because they can do whatever they want. An ever-increasing number of barriers stopping new companies from entering the market unless they're sitting on a big sack of venture capital.
Correct, they aren't issued by anyone but cool grandpas and uncles in my experience.
Agreed. I went on a YouTube binge on pre-Indo-European genetics and culture, human haplogroup tracking etc. There were a bunch of white nationalist comments, everything from the "superior culture" of the Indo-Europeans that killed the Stonehenge inhabitants to outright racism in the Bantu expansion videos. I guess people look this stuff up because they're obsessed with proving their historical birthright or superiority or something, but man I just wanted to learn paleontology..

The YouTube recommendations after that binge made my feed quite unpleasant.
Does this use Troy's have I been pwned dataset?
Can be used just like cash? Apart from the needing to wait for up to an hour to get confirmation of payment. And having fees on every single purchase. Bitcoin is not currency.

You even said it in your critique of ETH- “it's not a reliable store of value”

Currency is NOT intended to store value. It’s intended to facilitate the transfer of value. In that regard, etherium and bitcoin fail equally.
Doesn't something like 95%+ of Mozilla foundation funding come from Firefox funneling users to Google?

I like Firefox but it wouldn't necessarily exist if it wasn't part of the beast
I'll use the system zoom if I need to, but it's very awkward compared to the browser zoom. You're stuck panning around the magnified screen with one set of gestures, while also having to scroll through the page using the browser's gestures. It works but it's not pleasant.

The excuse I always hear about disabling zoom has to do with the multi-touch delay. I can somewhat see the sense of that for very particular applications, but definitely not for AMP, which as I understand it is meant for mostly static content (I'm only assuming though).

More often than not, what I find is that if I override zoom disable and then browser zoom on a site that doesn't allow it usually, it ends up breaking the layout as you zoom. This makes me wonder if they're just disabling zoom because they can't be bothered fixing their CSS to deal with it.
It...appears to be so? The infographic states that they "send a strongly hashed and encrypted copy of your username and password to Google." They explicitly mention that the username, not the password, is sent with a 3-byte hash prefix. They make no mention of prefixing the password in the infographic.

In the linked paper where they discuss the tradeoffs and take blinding into consideration. They note that the protocol is that a client calls CreateRequest(u, p) which creates a Req that is then sent explicitly to Google. It appears to me that they consider the merits of sending a hash-prefixed password, but do not make it explicitly clear that the final solution sends a hash-prefixed password. I think that they would want to explicitly say that only a partial hash is sent to Google, if that were the case?
Wow. I just used it for 2 minutes. Its like photoshop a few versions ago, on my phone browswer. How???
