We've got some interesting ideas here. From the mentors we've talk to already, a lot of them love the fact that they can start by offering "micro-mentorship". Giving startups advice with just 1 hour a week time commitment (split into 15 min chunks per startup they help). And they can do it from the comfort of their home.

That'll require a bit of curation by the nReduce team so the mentors only see the valid, honest questions submitted. But we're working on a way to manage that workload (between the nReduce partners and moderators).

What mentors get out of it is being exposed to lots of early stage startups and possibly find some great teams that they enjoy working with and can step in as official advisory roles if there's a fit.

That's a really good point. Still, bet that team would work out well.
Remember that compressors, including xz, support multiple compression levels. The default level for xz is 6, which is perhaps too far on the small-but-slow side. Levels 2 and lower tend to give similar compression levels to bzip2, and are considerably faster.

Also, note that decompressing bzip2 is very slow, xz usually beats it by a factor of two or more.

"facts – not unfounded claims will determine the outcome of the suit filed against us."

Something to keep in mind, that ultimately, it's the evidence and the quality of the legal team that will determine the outcome of the suit. The facts/truth of the matter come in a distant third.

I often view the results of a court case as an indication of how much evidence could be discovered by each side, and how effective their attorneys were, rather than a clearcut indication of guilt/innocence.

I wonder if anyone has ever done any controlled studies, some anti-rashomonesque like scenario, where the guilt/innocence of each party was objectively and quantifiably determined, and then run a statistically valid sample of these cases through the court system, to see how well guilt/innocence correlates with the court findings.
> (...) even the optimized JavaScript libraries like Box2D becomes faster when ported to JSX.

Box2D is a C++ library that has been ported to ActionScript and then, from ActionScript, converted to JavaScript - not by hand, but by a bunch of scripts[1]. The JS version of Box2D still carries around a lot of unnecessary weight from the original C++ and ActionScript versions and has much room for improvement.

A rewrite or "smart" conversion from C++ to JS, that endorses JS instead of trying to emulate C++ or ActionScript, should be able to improve performance a lot.

I don't know how Box2D was ported to JSX. Maybe it was a rewrite by a human? In any case, I'm not saying what they do isn't impressive, but calling Box2D an "optimized JavaScript library" is just plain wrong.

[1] There are several different JS ports of Box2D available, but, to my knowledge, none of which is a sensible rewrite by a human.
Glad to hear it's been of use :)

The author of xz is working on a parallel compression implementation of his own, which will hopefully be in future versions of xz.
The other replies are correct, but why do you care? The trick is what's counter-intuitive about this.

If you work in a widget factory and are trying to figure out why widgets go bad, you might sort your widgets by size and color. If sorting by that doesn't seem to help you find a pattern in the bad widgets, you might add more data - whether the widgets are right or left handed, metric or English units, or something.

The problem with this is that by adding more data you're actually making your problem harder since you've added an extra dimension, which as other commentors described will blow up your search space pretty quickly. The extra data will be the most help if it allows you to ignore the previous data. The more dimensions you add, the less likely it is the next dimension makes things simpler rather than just more complicated.

One more reason to keep things simple.
The strategic calculus of filing a lawsuit like this scares me. You're ALREADY partner at one of the very best firms. BEST case scenario you make a huge amount of money in an out of court settlement and then hopefully somebody else hires you. Maybe you start you own firm.

I have to imagine that things were really bad for Ms Pao. Or at the very least, she must certainly felt them to be.

Perhaps she's interested in retribution via soaking them for a ton of cash, but I can't help but doubt that. It's hard to imagine she lands in a better place, career-wise.

A truly difficult situation for her and KPCB.
I welcome anybody who'd like to package it! I think it's already available in Arch Linux.

That's a weird thing to think. If you can simulate classes with prototypes, but you can't simulate prototypes with classes, what is the natural conclusion you can come to about which is more expressive or primitive?
Most of the understanding of biological systems that you're touting ultimately punt their hard questions back to the physicists, so you're really not any better off.

To put it differently, biology can't answer why paraplegics can't walk without first answering how people walk. You can't explain walking if you can't explain motion. Unless the biologists have been holding out on us, they don't have an explanation for motion that would satisfy us any more deeply than you do. Thus, if physicists can't explain something as basic as motion, then biologists can't explain something as simple as why paraplegics can't walk.
Are there any scientific studies to back the common meme of "Fitness is a cornerstone of success"

Does Mark Zuckerberg work out? How about John Lasseter?

It honestly doesn't seem fitness has any relation what-so-ever to success but I'd be happy to be proven wrong with actual data rather than anecdotes.
I ticked over to the HN comments to see just how many people would be mocking him for his stance, since he made absolutely no apology for his faith. I have indeed been very pleasantly surprised.

I feel like I always need more than one project on my plate, so I'm working on two main apps right now:

CloudPlay (http://cloudplay.fm), my first Mac app, is a music player that searches for music locally (iTunes) and online (YouTube, SoundCloud), similar to Spotlight, and makes it easy to build playlists and share them. I'm going to iterate on it lots this summer while in the nReduce (http://nreduce.com/) program.

Dialoggs (http://dialog.gs) is an app I'm building with my buddy Drew Wilson (of Pictos fame). It's like a topical Twitter with privacy. Dialoggs lets you create (or be suggested to you after a number of replies) discussion topics (known as Dialoggs) that can be public, invite-only, or completely private, making them great for collaboration within a team. We're working on UX refinements as we learn how people use the app, and sometime this summer, will have a more public launch.

Pardon the silly question, but what is the actual meaning of "right" and "wrong" in physics?

I would expect a model which works in all possible conditions to be right, but clasical physics
breaks when you reach the speed of light or atom level scales.

Also, my intuition tells me that there can't be two completly different models that are describing
the same thing and both of them are right, but we have e.g. definition of light as EMV and as a stream
of particles.

So it's enough for physical model to work only in specified conditions to be considered right, but "Basic Assumptions of Modern Physics" must be ultimately right (must work in all possible conditions)?
Somehow, I suspect that we are missing a dimension or two altogether and that will 'fix' most of our shortcomings in understanding the Universe.

Does weighting of posts (only in hot?) take into account the amount of 'spent' upvotes vs the size of the overall subreddit?

I do notice that a the 'top' ranking seems to fail when I am subscribed to a number of small subreddits and a few bigger ones. The smaller subreddits then are drowned out by the bigger ones which is the exact opposite of what I want.

I also think grouping can be taken further (/r/a+b+c) as it is a great but lesser known feature.

What I find interesting about Facebook is that it allowed people from the current (and previous) generations to re-connect with people they'd lost touch with since previously there had been no tool designed to easily facilitate reconnecting. Future generations may find they they won't lose those connections since the tools will be in place allowing them to remain in touch as much or as little as they choose. Will they still have the same motivation to re-connect at some point in their lives if that opportunity has always been available to them? There's a very large percentage of Facebook users whose "friends" are really just people they knew back in high school that they connected with on Facebook out of curiosity. It'll be interesting to see if that dynamic continues for future generations.
"Sorry, not worth it at all."

Beware - selfishness feels great but is short lived. Traveling, working, partying, loafing around in your free time. These things get old and eventually you feel empty and Unfulfilled...

How can you predict what brings fulfillment to others anyway? Others may say to you that you will likely spend your latter years and die a miserable lonely recluse in a filthy nursing home. While they are cared for and having a happy existence with their children and grandchildren.

That prototypes are overly complex.

You can't simulate most imperative programs with functional ones because writing in a functional language eliminates a vast majority of bugs due to incomplete reasoning about memory barriers and other really hard to duplicate issues like race conditions.

CHESS is an amazing piece of software precisely because it CAN simulate race conditions and reproduce them, however, if these things didn't exist no one would ever bother trying to reproduce them.

I'm quite fine not being able simulate these issues.
Those are pretty unimportant metrics. Especially given that Dart's eventual intended usage is not to be compiled to JS and the infamous example you cite is strikingly unfair . The real world is much, much, much, much less code.

Besides taking something like "5 lines vs 8 lines for a hello world" and acting as if ALL code bases are automatically that much more bloated via a percentage like that is silly at worst, disingenuous at best.
Cheap Brett Favre Jersey
They work for Scala...
The equivalent in Dart is:

main() {
print("hello world!");
}

and you know the "17259 lines" thing is FUD.

EDIT: The above Dart code currently generates 445 lines of JS with comments and readable formatting. Obviously it's not quite where it needs to be but it's coming along quite well.
I don't think working out is a necessary condition for success, unless you're so unhealthy as to be physically incapable of doing the things that you need to do in order to be successful.

But the kind self-control you need for fitness could also help you become successful. If so, there might indeed be some correlation between fitness and success.

It would seem as though prototypes are the more expressive option if you can use them to simulate classes. In fact, one could argue that this is essentially what Python does.

...but the OP seemed to indicate that prototypes were "primitive", and it sounds like you agree with him. Are you trying to say something that I'm missing?
I think they make the types read better, personally, especially if you leave out the space to the left-hand side of the ':'. It clearly signifies to the reader where the code is entering the type grammar. And if you leave out both the spaces to the left and the right of the ':' (as OCaml code often does), it's exactly as many characters as the version with spaces.
IANAL, but civil cases aren't so much about guilt beyond a reasonable doubt as they are a balance of probabilities. So the result would be based on whether Ms. Pao's story is more likely to be true than false.
Patients were given infusions twice a week for four weeks. Soon after first infusion, 63 percent showed a “clinically meaningful” response (no further details).

I am pretty sure that in drug trials, "clinically meaningful" just means it's measurable beyond the threshold of statistical noise; it does NOT mean a what most people would think of as a meaningful or marked improvement in the patient's condition
This guy is reaching with a few of his statements
@j_baker I do not agree that prototypes are primitive and I decided to express this in the form of socratic irony.

@fleitz Whether prototypes are overly complex is neither here nor there. the question is whether they are primitive. More primitive than classes- something which is historically and demonstrably untrue, in my opinion.

"A camera that takes images comparable to a picture taken on a current iPhone?"

I will be intrigued to see what pops out when this really becomes a priority. You may not be able to stick a single small camera in a glasses frame and get anywhere, but what about having 4 or 8 relatively cheap cameras and some image processing? With the cameras tuned to the needs of the image processing. Perhaps not even 4 or 8 identical cameras. Can we play games with optical interferometry [1] to extract surprising amounts of visual data from surprisingly small cameras? There's a crapload of optical tricks we've learned that we've not really needed to apply yet, and ahem IT IS OBVIOUS TO ONE SKILLED IN THE ART THAT THESE TECHNIQUES MAY BE USEFUL ON AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES. (ahem)

(Sorry, 2019, 2012 is just too cool for you.)

When talking about programming languages, "primitive" usually means low level. For example, primitive data types (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_data_type).

That's not what expressiveness means. Classes can be simulated in assembly but assembly isn't very expressive.

Wow, that does seem like quite a departure from the original business. And MetaLab pitches itself much more as front-end expert. Is it conceivable this is a front-end for some other virtual assistant service?
So given that, how do you come to the conclusion that prototypes are more primitive than classes?
It is, but on the other hand if you write code to work with sockets then you get a performance boost on spinning disks because your IO is sequential. And many other benefits like trivial cache prediction, buffering, etc.

I do think that prototypes have useful properties, but I'm not sure that a prototype isn't a form of an open class. I tend to think that the biggest problem with prototypes in js is the interface.

I seem to remember F-tests or something like that when I did multi-dimensional variant analysis as part of my statistical geography courses back in the day.

Even though you may have data along 7 or 8 dimensions, you may be able to develop a statistcal model that captures 95% predictive value using only 3 or 4 dimensions (but the 3 or 4 dimensions do not co-relate perectly to any of the 7 or 8 dimensions you've collected), instead each predictive dimension is based on part of each of the others.

Or if I summarize: the underlying (statistically useful) dimensionality of a dataset can be smaller than the number of variables collected as many of the variables co-relate with each other.
