Let's not get too wrapped up in language design. Perl was designed to replace 16 different Unix commands, and in that respect it is successful. Python was created as a scripting language with exceptions, and in that respect it is also successful.

Thus my fruit analogy: Python and Perl are different kinds of fruit. They are designed differently and you use them differently. This is not a flaw. It is a feature. Arguing about how it should have been done X way is pointless.

As for parsing, it is impossible to parse Perl, as it is Turing-complete and nobody has solved the halting problem (yet).
If they're willing to do the job for that and they're not appreciably worse than you at that particular job, maybe that's what you're worth for that role, too?

Or there could be a collection of people that decide to enter different industries because of this, causing a labor shortage?

To author: I had similar idea couple months ago about the peer-to-peer swap for expensive/luxury watch owners... if you own expensive watch you can "exchange" it for couple months or something with someone who has similar valued watch.

Now that you p2p rent expensive equipment, can you share your worst stories as well as crucial experience in terms of rental issues one can run into while operating this sort of startup?

Swiftype is one of those products that is so easy to implement, you'll think you missed a few steps. It improved the search on our docs immensely in a few minutes. I also really like the ability to easily customize results.

As a bonus, we've found an unexpected benefit of getting a feedback loop on how to improve our docs by getting a list of the most popular searches and those that have not returned results. It quickly shows us where we have holes in our documentation.

We have the exact same saying in Brazil and our native tribes are very different from north american ones. I am pretty sure this is just an analogy, using the terms everybody knows ("chief" and "indians") to explain whatever environment where are too many people giving orders and too few following them (aka working).

Not related in any way to actual organizations of any actual tribes.

I don't completely understand. Because of PRISM, NSA has direct access to everything I store at google. If I store it on my own, badly secured but unique little server, they'll have to actually do effort to get to my data. Why isn't that better?
Because it really is a seperate language. Going from Perl 5 to Perl 6 is like going from Algol to C++11
Entry level with two years of experience?? I'd hope that isn't very strict or basically no one would be able to apply for the job meeting the requirements unless internships count, and even then you usually get like 1.5 years of experience that way.
Would you at least concede that the H1B process is highly vulnerable to someone abusing it by re-titling jobs/requirements with a lawyer's help?

I'd agree the data/method/motivation is highly suspect.
Wow, very cool. I was actually just thinking about this exact idea last night. A close friend of mine is going through a very rough time and I spent a few hours on the phone with him.

Mental health resources just aren't working for him, and I don't think he has a lot of positive role models in his life whom he can turn to. And we live in a time where many of the traditional institutions tasked with steering a young person into adulthood (religion, education, family, etc.) are broken or dysfunctional themselves.

This is definitely one startup that I would really like to see succeed. Good luck...
The risks are small, but they are not so small that nuclear plants could get normal insurance from free markets. They have actuaries that can do the math. It all boils down to the expected value (= value*risk). Even if the risk is incredibly small the cost when the risk actualizes is so massive that it's deal breaker (alternatively, the cost of insurance from free markets makes nuclear energy too expensive)

This is why every country with nuclear plants subsidies nuclear energy with laws that limit the amount of compensation.
Evidence in the original letter from the AGs is pretty thin. As the entirety of their proof of "countless instances of child sex trafficking that occurs [sic] every day", they offer... three (three!!!) instances this year of some dirtbag "pimp" posting something on Backpage.com. In every such instance, the posts interfered in no way with said dirtbag's arrest and prosecution. It's as if they know that all the law-and-order fans won't read the damn thing, but they'll still get on HN and talk out of their asses.

In deciding what to build next, you would compare nuclear with the other future options, which do not include coal.

No one argues that solar or wind will kill anyone.

And, the real problem with nuclear is that it isn't cost effective. If the free market was operating, no plants nuclear plants would be built in the US. It is only with govt. subsidies making 90% the up-front cost risk-free there has been even a nibble of interest from free market investors. And even that interest has petered out.

Quant engineers are exactly the people that all this clamoring is about. They are the star programmers that don't exist. Tech pay could go up a bit, and start attracting them with better working conditions, which would solve this bullshit crisis which is largely an excuse to import a bunch of cheap labor.
I am assuming those are cheaper/more efficient. After all, our grain production relies heavily on petrochemical inputs.

Historically speaking, one of the reasons[1] domestication of large herbivores for meat production makes sense is because those can be fed with agriculture byproducts not suitable for human consumption. In industrial terms, it is a sort of "rejects reprocessing" that partially recovers an investment that was already lost.

Nowadays, we feed our animals with human suitable food, which is possible due to the (cost) efficiency gains of the green revolution, which originally was mostly about petrochemicals.

[1] the other being that in nomad societies, they constitute a food store that can carry its own weight around.
That Elon Musk guy argued that if we installed solar panels all over the safety zones around a nuclear reactor, then those panels would generate more energy than the power plant.

You will be renting, not buying. This means that they monthly housing cost differential will be more than made up for in the salary differential. The sad fact is that if you are not in the top slice of a particular subfield you are not going to be getting telecommuting options unless you get very lucky: by being in Missouri you both limit your opportunity to find the lucky break and limit your ability to get into the social/work networks that serve to bestow the "this guy rocks" credential. Your only option is probably to be a major contributor on a well-known open source project; this is not a bad thing to do in general, but you are limiting your options significantly. If you deign to lower your standard of living slightly for a short period of time you will be able to take a real chance at getting the opportunities you are looking for. You can always leave after doing a few years in the bay area.

You can't win if you don't play. If you are waiting on the sidelines for some magic opportunity to fall into your lap you are going to be waiting a very long time.

You're talking about a small decimal point variation in heat of vaporization aka enthalpy of vaporization. You are correct it does in fact vary by temp, but as a percentage, less than my vast rounding errors. One problem is heat of vaporization usually drops with temp. So evaporating water at 400 degrees in a boiler takes somewhat less energy than evaporating the same amount on a open to the air pond, and there's not much of a pressure vessel around the plant anymore anyway. For all intents and purposes given reasonable rounding the energy required to evaporate the water is more or less constant in that location.

This has to do with the strength of the hydrogen bond in water. The energy require to vaporize the water is the same as hundreds of degrees of merely heating the water, thats why the starting temp has little effect on water boiling rate, etc.

Still I stand by my numbers, 2 MW continuously can evaporate your 50 tons of water per day, to one sig fig.

Note that we're not arguing about much. Sunlight is like a KW per sq meter so we're arguing about the energy from 2000 or so sq meters of sunlit area, which isn't much compared to a giant nuclear plant facility.

It just doesn't strike me as much of an engineering challenge to evaporate 50 tons/day given that size of a facility and the decay heat and the solar insolation.
The article makes a fantastic argument... for investing a lot of time in picking your founders. This is like a single person saying that they're going to stay single forever because two previous relationships didn't work out. Except instead of a marriage here, you're talking about something which greatly increases the chances of success in an endeavour.

I'm the solo founder of a venture-backed startup in London. That's a bit like being the single mother of a kid in the projects who ended up going to Harvard. When we successfully make a 100x return on investment for our backers it will be the equivalent of that kid becoming president. This is a tough business and whilst I don't whinge because I knew what I was signing up for, OP is misguided to think the sole-founder grass is greener. Sole founders exist in a vacuum irrespective of how many great colleagues and mentors they have.
That's an old(ish) version. They've probably done a bit of optimization. For example, with the (speed 3) optimization, and letting the compiler know that sum is a fixnum, I can get it down to <2 billion cycles: See my answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18065714/2423072

The sentences potentially add together as much as a bullet may potentially self-fire. This is the same thing we saw with Aaron Swartz's case, the media and prosecution want a number to describe the seriousness of the charges and so they add together the individual maximums of all of the individual charges, despite that the Federal Sentencing Guidelines would not actually call for consecutive sentences here (unless perhaps I'm missing some aggravating circumstances).
Today is my first day as 34 years old...!
Thank you. That comment means a lot to me. Good on you for taking the time to support your friend. Truth is we all hit hard times in life and often we just need a little extra support to get through.

Also, as you indicated, a lot of the old institutions just are not there to provide as much support. I also always think of the role neighbors used to play. I still have friendly conversation with my neighbors, but I would feel really uncomfortable leaning on them for support.
I find everything that the article says to be practical advice, but it would have a much more positive spin if the article was titled "pitfalls to avoid when building your team." Instead the author seems to have written off the chance that he will find compatible partners.
That such police subterfuge can't be used for bulk dragnets where "we'd all be searched" is irrelevant: there, it'd be obvious (when the followup search usually fails) that some fishy overreach is happening.

In this particular surveillance-tipped condition, you are asserting there's still some useful check from the necessity of "articulable probable cause". But because of the strong (and legally out-of-band) tip, very few searches are necessary, the searches always succeed in finding contraband, and the only contrary witness to the flimsy smell/dog/eyes/joint-on-the-seat probable-cause rationale is the suspect himself -- whose credibility is shot by the successful find.

That's what makes the phony 'probable cause' tricks trivial in these cases, and your reassurances hollow.

And once the authorities have started down the road of deception of the courts to get a conviction, it's only a small additional step to planting the drugs/guns/porn. "The NSA/DEA-SOD has assured us this is a very bad guy, but all the evidence of that is non-admissible. So let's just 'parallel construct' another incriminating scene from what's handy."
I hear a "shooting star" was seen the night of the Tunguska event. The fact this shooting star showed up just prior to an enormously powerful explosion suggests the allies had nuclear weapons in 1908, and that they were supplied by aliens from another world.

For any given series of boring events, the most fantastical explanation that ties them all together must obviously be true.
Perhaps your company's issue is that it's hiring practices are so convoluted and absurd that they are driving away most of the prospective hires that possess brains?

But it was edited almost immediately...
Joshua Topolsky's review on the Verge [http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/5/4588922/moto-x-review] seems to contradict the battery life claim:

> "Motorola could have built a monster of longevity like the RAZR Maxx — and it should have — but it didn’t. It definitely gets a full day of use: I used it heavily for 15 hours before it died, and if you use it like most people use their phones, you won’t need to charge it during the day. It lasted for 7 hours, 14 minutes on the Verge Battery Test, which loads popular websites and high-res images with brightness at 65 percent; that’s a very good score, far better than the HTC One and the GS4, but well below class leaders like the Maxx or the Galaxy Note II."

But personally, the biggest deal-breaker is this:

> "But there’s a catch. The touchless controls are rendered nearly useless if you have any kind of security lock on your phone. You can still use it to make calls, but everything else requires that you unlock your phone, which requires that you pick it up and interact with it… meaning you just defeated the whole idea of "touchless controls."

That said, I'm very curious about the sensors they've included, and can't wait for Anandtech's breakdown.
There are a few original ideas. Many are improvements on existing ideas. Some are direct copies. Without infringing or theft, or anything else malicious... can you market/sell/monetize your startup better? Can you gain more traction?
It's always an eye opener to look up companies at http://www.h1bwage.com/ and compare their salaries. Plenty of SF companies hire 'senior software engineers' in the range of 78K.
Fukushima was an outdated design that was not safe under passive cooling (ie, it was physically possible for it to melt down). It's construction predated Chernobyl, and it's design was even older, and designed around a weaponizable fuel.

Fukushima doesn't represent the state of the art. It didn't even represent the state of the art a quarter of a century ago.
Actually they have a prep period mandated as a part of each day. Have you actually read a teaching contract, specifically the one I am referencing? I merely quoted what was in the contract.

The issue isn't distorted by the way, the fact still stands: teachers aren't working 60 hours weeks and they aren't working year round and they're getting paid based not on outcomes but based on seniority. If they happen to have advanced degrees, they get paid for that, regardless of their performance. That would be like paying Obie Fernandez for less for Rails development just because he doesn't have an advanced degree and paying someone with an IT degree from the University of Phoenix more by virtue of the degree itself as opposed to capabilities or past performance.

I really don't care what teachers get paid, however they should be paid based on outcomes and not just because they've survived the system the longest.
Yep!

I think a main consideration for a co-founder is the ability to weather the inevitable storm, along with the willingness to ride it out.
I highly recommend this documentary on the Gestopo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtgB4qiiWBI

The first thing the Nazis started doing when they got power was set up a secret investigative unit. Where they started creating detailed records of all of their enemy targets (starting w/ the communists and the competing political party). This intelligence was then used by the SS/SA to harass, round up and assassinate anyone who was a threat to their power.

The intelligence agencies were the foundation of Nazi fascism. The signs of power abuses were present in these agencies way before the Gestopo became publicly infamous for targeting Jews.
I know for sure Sweden but I think most civil law countries lack the concept of a plea bargain, which means most of world. For example France introduced limited plea bargains first in 2004.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plea_bargain#Use_in_civil_law_...

Edit: Seems a bunch of civil law countries have introduce plea bargains the last 15 years, but before that almost none of them had it. This makes it a bit hard to find a concrete list of examples since almost all hits are about the countries introducing it with little discussion about why some countries do not do the same.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. This is what I was thinking:

Say Person A and Person B are working on a slide that has the text "Hello World" centered on a white background.

Person A makes a change to the slide by changing the background to red and moving the text box up 10 pixels.

Person B makes a change to the slide by changing the text to "Hello World!"

They both sync at the same time.

Ideally, Kivo would be able to differentiate the changes as non-conflicting. For some reason I doubt Microsoft's Powerpoint API allows you to differentiate between those changes, however. :)
We no longer have a capitalistic free market in the USA, so its kind of irrelevant. Crony capitalism all the way. We just built a govt subsidized coal plant about 30 miles east (thankfully downwind) from my house. Wind plants don't run on wind but on govt subsidies. This kind of massive corruption makes engineering decisions kind of difficult, given that the bean counting numbers are pretty much imaginary.

> Even if the risk is incredibly small the cost when the risk actualizes is so massive that it's deal breaker (alternatively, the cost of insurance from free markets makes nuclear energy too expensive)

Do you have a cite for this? My understanding is that the risks from nuclear are simply too high variance (i.e., concentrated in a few huge events) for an insurance company to absorb, not that the expectation value of the cost is high.
You obviously have a hard time understanding what you quoted means. Here is an easier to understand citation:
