I encountered this issue in the Google Keep application, which has a periodic reminder feature. I set a reminder for August 31, repeating monthly, but this results in it skipping months with 30 days as I discovered at the end of September.
Another reason many games use Ogg Vorbis is for seamless looping and zero delay sound effects. Gapless MP3 is a bit of a mess because encoders insert priming samples but there is no standard way to signal it in the bitstream. (it also compresses better than MP3)
Hey Mr. Socher, I see that you've changed the site to allow anonymous searches. I just tried it out, and I have to admit, it worked really damn well for finding a pancake recipe. Good luck!

Whew, probably 5 to 10 thousand, at a wild guess? I ran through the first 106 problems (plus #243) in 23 days in April/May 2016, then dropped it for a year. Since then, I've plugged away pretty steadily, about 150 problems a year. That's tailed off as I'm getting close to the end. New problems show up once a week (except in summer), and I mostly keep up with those, but my success on the backlog is slowing down as what's remaining gets increasingly difficult. I'll probably solve around 80 this year, and it's that high just because of the new problems. Each old problem typically takes a week to a month, if I manage to get it at all. Some I let rest for a while, hoping inspiration will strike months later.

I've stuck with it mostly because I really enjoy learning math. I had plans to pursue a PhD in math back in college, 40+ years ago. But that's when I discovered computer programming, which was way easier, and paid much better. Now that I'm retired, I've got time to devote to Project Euler, which is satisfying that itch to keep learning.
I'd like to think that when we build a society and designate people to run governing functions, this would be one of the jobs we would like them to carry. At least, that's how it works here. Make sure that people are enabled to be members of society.
Epilepsy is a really wide range of disorders with many causes that simply manifest in similar ways.

So it is possible this is a cause of a single type of epilepsy, but not all.

My own epilepsy was the result of spinal damage as a teen that left me temporarily, partially paralyzed. I regained movement but have frequent seizures from the damage.

Similarly a friend had a growth on his brain. Surgery removed it but he was epileptic for about a year after.
This. I've worked in the New York metro area for my entire working career, and non-competes are one reason why California will always, always win when it comes to fostering startups. From what I can tell, no other state has made them illegal, and none ever will because they're in the interest of employers.

> I think it is a safe bet that there will always be new monopolies developing. There are always new markets, and benefits often don't scale linearly with growth.

Find a monopoly and you'll probably find a regulation propping it up.

For many of these tech companies it's DMCA 1201 and other things that prohibit adversarial interoperability.

If you have a law that lets you boot competitors out of adjacent markets once you have dominance in one of them, you take over the other one too. Then nobody can compete with you unless they can replace you in both markets, meanwhile you enter a third.

The first thing we need is to get rid of such laws.

I think the difficulties/uncertainties you mention here are a large factor in the feds reluctance to break up monopolies. I have no personal opinion on these methods without taking a much deeper dive into the details. It does seem like the big breakup of Ma Bell worked out well, though.

The statement "everyone is accountable to the same rules to the same degree" could be either pro- or anti- federal action.
I was going to ask the same thing. Also using some info from the WSJ comment below.

- WSJ: "Texas alleges that Google used its access to data from publishers’ ad servers—where more than 90% of large publishers use Google to sell their digital ad space—to guide advertisers toward the price they would have to bid to secure an ad placement."

- This is bid optimization & bid shading no? Both helping buyers place a high enough winning bid. And then also offering bid shading probable. With a second price auction the winning bid clear price is 2nd price + .01 or whatever. All DSPs offer this and use the open market data?

- Next WSJ graph seems like the crux of the insider trading is not really accurate? If all major bidding platforms (dsp's) offer this feature. e.g. it doesn't " unfairly compete against rival ad-buying tools and pay publishers less on its winning bids for ad inventory." ?

- "Google allegedly dropped the second-highest bids"

- So publishers still got paid the highest bid?

- Or maybe see above about bid shading. Maybe this could lower the clearing amount paid to the publisher? E.g. $10, $7, $5 bids. Drop $7, winning price is now $5.01 ?

- "accumulated money into a pool and then spent that money to inflate only the bids belonging advertisers who used the company's Google Ads"

- I don't understand this. The WSJ article also doesn't mention what money is pooled.

Please forgive any ignorance on my behalf. Does work like this make it any more possible for someone to engineer an FPGA-based replacement? I don't know too much about FPGAs, I just imagine that seeing the arrangement of the gates on the chip makes its functionality a little more transparent, and this a bit more possible.

You miss confounding factor, children have abysmal cognitive performance compared to adults.

So you compare 1 heuristic algorithm running on weak CPU and RAM-starved, with another heuristic algorithm running on many times stronger CPU with up to 3x times more RAM (working memory).
You mean like... GPS?

I used to work on AUVs with inertial navigation, and a Kalman filter accepting input from GPS at the surface and a DVL or similar underwater, as well as the inertial unit, was pretty much standard equipment. The device in the article has to have miraculously low error in order to eliminate the need for GPS.

There's a slide in Manley's video that says gross vehicle weight is 11,000 kg. And 450 RPM @ 100 m diameter, so 2 km/s. Kinetic energy for vehicle is 22 GJ. Equivalents:

* 5 metric tons TNT

* 1/3000 Little Boy atomic bomb

* 4 barrels of crude oil (!)

* Boil 2,300 gallons of water

* 0.25 mg of matter converted to energy

* Enough energy to melt two 11,000 kg iron counterweights, with 2 GJ left over

* A magnitude 3.7 earthquake [1]

I really wonder if it will carry over to gmail. I really hate how they open email links from eail in in a different instance of chrome browser than the default browser I choose, my info is never synced correctly, and saves don't work properly at all. I now the settings may be able to be changed somewhere, but I don't trust software companies any more.

Google also has major problems in segmenting multiple gmail accounts on mobile devices and on youtube. They allowed everyone to sign up for gmail for free and are suddenly placing a 15GB quota on accounts as well, giving people no choice but to upgrade for a monthly fee (that can't even be pre-paid for more than one year).

I really hate the manipulation, and that leads me to the point of just wanting to set up my own email service so I can ensure that I won't get fleeced unexpectedly even more in the future.

Couple of 100K in revenue is definitely not failed. Best case is if you can sell the startup to a bigger company in the same space. They can acquire you for your product, customers or if not anything, the team. Companies often pay up of 1M/engineer for a great team which may not make you rich but would be enough to pay back investors and find a good landing spot for the team.

Take care of your employees first, then customers, then investors and finally debt holders. Someone told me when we were in the same boat. It will go a long way.

Talk to your investors and advisors for help. Engage a banker if required.
Maybe the earliest generations but the more recent ones are much more batteries-included.
It would still be a large project to build an FPGA replacement, as someone would need to trace out all the circuitry. I've just scratched the surface. But at a minimum I hope to extract the ROM contents, the data path widths, and so forth, which will allow emulations to be more accurate.
Are there any industries where documenting failure is incentivized? I could easily name a whole litany of things I've tried that didn't work (most recently: trying to use AWS security groups as a bad-actor mitigation technique), but when it's time-consuming enough to give a talk or blog about what I've had succeed, I can't imagine doing either about how I've failed.

There is catch - adding money into equation can trigger "avoid risk" behaviours.
I disagree with you about the veracity of the "fluff". Personally I moved to the Midwest from the east coast a few years ago for what was supposed to be a few months. I never expected to want to stay here; I was supposed to move to NYC or SF after. Instead I've realized a much simpler existence than I ever planned for myself. I'm currently in the process of moving to Northern Michigan from Chicago and couldn't be happier.

I was writing a reply that got deleted (browser refreshed on me when I left the computer alone too long), so I'm going to focus on the second part because I'm not rewriting it all. Also, know that I'm new to MOP programming (which is part of how I came across this paper) so my example is high level, but (as far as I presently understand) correct, just not detailed.

So for my particular example, the difference would be (in my phrasing) automation. If someone took the time to implement everything, then you could do something like this:

(defclass protected-class (standard-class))
(defmethod initialize-instance :after ((class protected-class) ...)
...) ;; adds accessor logic with locks
(defclass my-protected-class ()
((a-number :protected)) ;; maybe not explicit, but for here it is
(:metaclass protected-class))

This would be more like (but not quite the same as) decorators in Python. In C# with computed properties you could do something like (been a few years, treat as pseudocode):

class MyProtectedClass {
private int _a_number;
public int ANumber {
get => _a_number;
set {
lock;
_a_number = value;
unlock;
}
}
}

Ok, so it's protected. But how do you do this without manually inserting this locking logic throughout? (Again, been a bit for C#, it has some good reflection libraries so you probably actually can do this similar to CL, but it won't be as straightforward or accessible to the programmers using the language). In Java (also been a few years, so don't treat as current best practice), you used to add synchronized to methods and get the automatic locking (why I did :protected above, to keep it in line with Java). But note that this is something the Java creators added, there was no way (within Java) for you to extend the language to do this yourself (or no easy way, again their was reflection capabilities from the start).

And it's important to remember, I meant that as just an example. There are other, conceivable, characteristics you may want to add for some reason (hopefully a good reason). With a MOP-ish facility, you can extend your language to do these things, but without it you can't (or can't easily, consider C where there is zero reflection so you have to have an extra-language facility to provide extensions).
OMG, you’re completely right. Yep, that’s exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks for the correction!
Neither is a bad option, but there's plenty of room in between. Series B, C, are often still pretty collegial, and you'll still get the opportunity to know the founders. The market's really gung-ho right now, and wherever you go you should interview them as much as they interview you. Pick something that feels good and will let you breathe. It could be really tempting to be ambitious right now and the main advice I would give you is "don't."

Don't try to make up for lost time. Don't try to prove anything. Don't make the next thing anything more than what it is: a job. Once you've rested and recuperated, and you can look back on your time at your startup and not "cringe" or feel angry, then decide whether you want to lean into the job you're at or move on and be ambitious somewhere else.

I've been a co-founder at something that felt like a "zombie startup." I walked away, gave up my entire stake in it back to the other co-founders, and washed my hands of it. It's doing fine now, and I'm fine with that. I saved myself the three or more years of pain, heartache, and panic attacks, and hopefully I gave them the breathing room they needed to get the thing off the ground. I will never see a dime of profit from it, even if it becomes a unicorn, and I'm completely fine with that.

The thing I think a lot of co-founders feel after a startup fails is a sense of "purposelessness," Burnout that manifests itself as a feeling that you're not "smart" anymore, not "creative" anymore. A blank space in your day fills itself with wondering if you could have made it work if you'd just done that one thing differently. You can't "power through" those feelings. You have to let yourself live with them until they pass over you. You have to let yourself heal, and healing takes time. Whatever job you take now should let you focus on that. It needs to be something that lets you spend some mental energy working through the regret, frustration, and ultimately the fear of facing your part in the failure of the startup.

Do the job instead of "be" the job. At least for a while. Take the time and get past all the things that will stop you from really learning from your experience. Then at the end of that, if you still feel the burn to start something again, you'll be able to put your whole self into it.

Moreover, most mobile apps, web or native, could suck A LOT less if they did just that, load all the data at start. I have taken that to the extreme of serving all the code and data in one file.

Never waiting for unstable network and zero bugs with some part of HTML/CSS/JS/data missing or out of sync is pure joy.

>If the answer is anything less than “infinite money”, you’re anti-free-speech.

Pointing this out is not the most popular thing on HN, but that doesn't make it less true.

I made a similar case a week or two ago in response to someone who did a Show HN on their new "free speech" platform. I essentially challenged the creator to advocate for his new platform by supporting the speech rights of child abusers to promote their ideas, as testament to his committment to "free speech". Told him no one should believe his committment to free speech if he wasn't willing to advocate for those most universally loathed by society.

Guess what I got? Downvotes.

But, that's the heart of it. At the end of the day, these people like the idea of "free speech" and they dislike the idea of speech they approve not being given the broadest possible platform. But, when it hits the fan, it's actually the latter that they're addressing with their platforms and pronouncements.
That's right, amen. Too many people on this planet to deal with people you already know. Why bother going back when you can move forward. Burn all the bridges.
You may be onto something. Nevertheless the finding still has real world application.

I am reminded of a/b testing in websites or emails, for example.

If the goal is to maximize clicks, you may never "learn the rule," as it were, and instead lean on familiar and previously-tested concepts, getting stuck in a local maximum.

On the other hand, if in an explicit mind shift you say "let's try everything to see what happens," you may "lose" far more often, but gain a comprehensive map of the landscape in return, which can help you in future efforts to break into new heights of engagement.
First strange thing: this post just mentions GameStop and leaves that hanging in the air without explanation. I assume this is because of the sale of order flow at Ronbinhood in particular but it still seems odd.

Second, the real estate thing is a weird tangent. I just don't buy that adding an intermediary to real estate transactions is the win-win-win claimed. This seems like a weird detour to justify Opendoor (which, it should be noted, A16Z was an investor in).

Let me use this as an analogy though. Imagine the NBBO-equivalent for house sales was a 10% broker fee split between buyer's broker and seller's broker. What this post is arguing is that the sale of order flow is fine because most people pay less than 10% this way.

Thing is, once you decide to buy or sell that house, you're doing so without necessarily knowing what the price will be or how much commission you'll pay other than "probably less than 10%". Whoever is processing that is free to take that buy or sell order and then act before processing it. In financial markets, this is called frontrunning. Some markets allow it, some don't.

Worse, you as an investor have less visibility into what's going on because these trades through a variety of different brokerages or exchanges can essentially occur off-market.

So I'm not buying whatever this is selling.

Side note: I honestly don't understand the popularity of Robinhood. It's amazing how willing many on HN are to castigate ad-supported models and the sale of user data while seemingly at the same time being completely fine with the sale of their order flow.

From the article:

"India’s average income has increased by 7.5 percent per year."

"A similar trend can be seen in Nigeria. Since the new millennium, gross domestic income per capita has increased by over 800 percent, from $270 to over $2,450."

Neither of those reflect what average working class folks make.

Do the math to average the yearly income where one person is making $1Billion a year and the other 1000 are making $1,000 a year. In this case the "average income" is a $1Million a year.

That's why it's bullshit.
