Seriously though, I agree there are practical uses for this - such as TV input or some sort of touchless kiosk (in a hospital maybe?). The video just did a poor job of showing what's what.

they can, but then they likely won't get free shipping.

E.g. italy has had "save the bookstores" laws enacted for a while, which means amazon can't offer discounts as high as it does elsewhere, but using amazon.it still ends up cheaper than amazon.co.uk, for delivery in italy.
Would you prefer it if the warehouses were staffed by robots instead?

I'm sort of serious but I am sympathetic to your viewpoint because those warehouses are as close as you can get to a legal sweatshop in a 1st world country.
Amazon is good because they are paying and treating their employees better than any of the options those people previously had.
The law doesn't work like that.
The truth of the matter is these are the tests electric cars will have to endure over a period of time in order to reach wide adoption. Despite what's been said here a full tank of gasoline is far safer than a fully charged battery pack with enough energy to go 300 miles. Before anyone mauls me, consider how many gasoline cars have been driven and, yes, crashed, world-wide since gasoline cars came into mass production. There have probably been millions of accidents without fires, even with fuel leaks. There's probably no imaginable way to compare the two at this time. We simply don't have enough data. And, no, linking to a horrible crash video on youtube involving gasoline igniting does absolutley nothing to support arguments on either side.

The one issue with electrics that is not spoken of is the fact that you have a several hundred volt high energy system that could very well electrocute passengers. I fully expect that to happen one day (in general, not necessarily Tesla). If and when that happens you can bet it will set the breaks on electrics for a while and relevant stocks will plummet.

I still believe electric cars are the future. We simply need to go though the evolutionary process that will make them really safe for hundreds of millions of electrics to share the road. What happens when you have a pile-up of ten or twenty electric cars on a fogg-covered highway? A pile of mangled wrecks with 400 Volt high energy systems is unimaginably dangerous. I can think of a few horrific scenarios under those conditions.

At some level part of me thinks that fuel cells are the future, not batteries. Having something relatively benign that can leak out would be a good thing.
I am a European Amazon customer and I have had enough.

Amazon is a heavily subsidized corporation. It operates from a tax shelter (Luxembourg). It underpays it's American staff (who are then receiving US welfare as supplement in order to survive).

Giving away delivery for free is a form of predatory pricing. In general, large market players have been banned from predatory pricing under European competition law for decades.

Competition is great but let's not pretend that Amazon is outcompeting other (online) bookstores fair and square.
That's a great fairy tale. In reality, at least where I live, is that local businesses don't have accommodations for reading (unlike chain stores like Fnac), the employees can't tell Dostoyevsky from Dan Brown and the selection is simply terrible.

So what's been happening is that chain stores have been eating independent book stores alive well before online shopping was widespread.
Elon Musk should create a new startup to rival Amazon, based on open source technosocial interactions and entrepreneur-focused javascript, if the EU shackling Amazon like this.

It will be interesting to watch the market react to this.

This is important not because of Tesla, but because the auto-drive car makers are going to have an even bigger hurdle deploying auto-drive. Yep, there will still be crashes, and it remains to be seen how the news media will run with these types of stories -- explaining the context, or piling on. My bet is that initially they'll explain the context, but just like everything else they cover, eventually they'll go for video of flaming orphans over telling the larger story of how much good is being done. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
They already don't have access, they have to pay their half of the costs. We're talking about patent lawsuits here anyway, both parties are corporations so "poor" isn't really a meaningful concept.

If we're being completely fair, Amazon's willingness to run in the red for almost 20 years and continually sacrifice profits for market share probably has a lot to do with their prices, too.

But your points are worth noting, and Americans might feel a little differently if it was a foreign corporation.
I would love to experience that.
Which American Amazon.com employees are receiving US welfare checks? I tried to locate a source for this claim, but came up short.
That's what people portray us social minded Europeans as but realistically, the majority will tell local businesses to get fucked when it comes down to it.

Why? Price, poor products and service and "blame it on the customer" culture.

Local businesses have been hanging themselves for years on these fronts.

Amazon sorts the above perfectly and you don't have to leave your house.
Unlike the appstore you can have torrent clients on Android. So it evens.
My guess is down. Monopoly abuse only work if there's a big barrier for entry, otherwise the threat of competition is always there.
If the French really believed this, as a people, then the government would not need to intervene. Amazon would lose on its own merit. This is a vocal minority at work, comprised of the losing side (smaller bookstores), and sympathetic legislators.
Also illegal as a monopoly.

1. high prices - price gouging
2. low prices - anti-competitive
3. same prices - collusion

Once a company becomes a monopoly -- even if it's because they are the only sane choice -- everything they do can be construed as illegal.

Those are some very absolute statements. The blinding passionate belief part is really a myth. You just need to be hard working, committed, and effective. All obstacles can be overcome by focus and reason, not religion or belief. You don't even have to like the work, but it does help if you're not a strongly self-motivated person.

I can think of three reasons to not have a co-founder that are not necessarily relevant to the strength of the venture:

(1) The venture is not in an area that's trendy right now, making it something where people who don't share the founder's belief in the idea and vision might be much more reluctant to take the plunge. But that doesn't mean it's a bad vision.

(2) The founder has had trouble finding a co-founder he/she can trust, who is compatible, and who is available for a venture. In a startup scene full of hucksters and flakes, trust is a legitimate concern.

(3) (Not applicable to YC since YC is bay area only, but...) The founder may be in a place with a much smaller or non-existent startup scene, like a small town or a city/country where this stuff is rarer. In that case co-founders might be pretty hard to come by.
That's basically the point of globalisation though isn't it?

It was. I think it's likely this effort was motivated by LLVM's relative strength in JIT compilation.
Anytime energy is stored to be released there is a chance of disaster. Usually this manifests itself in fire.
I think this is pretty the same thing as storing a secure cookie?

Except the 'cookie' is the private key on the phone, so it's tied to the phone not to a particular browser.

Other than that, I don't see a difference between the two?

I think this is basically a long-lived session cookie, stored out-of-band.

I also don't see how the public/private keypair changes anything. Why not just store the nonce on the phone? If the nonce has only ever gone over https to the user, no-one else will know it.
LLVM doesn't make a great JIT compiler and I don't think gcc will either. The problem is that, most of the time, your JITed code won't be used very much and so the amount of time that it takes to generate it is a significant proportion of the total execution time.

LLVM and gcc are optimized for producing the fastest possible code and will do so at the expense of spending more time doing it. That's not to say that they can't become great JIT compilers in the future, but I don't think we're there yet.
> IMHO, there is a major problem with Tesla's batteries.

Is this based on any kind of information, or just supposition stemming from the problems Boeing had (where, IIRC, Tesla offered to provide engineering assistance).
It's not a big deal though. They subsequently specifically asked him to put it on a CD in PEM format and deliver it by 5 that day or be faced $5000 fine per day or something like that.
"Is the 20% failure that rate that YC attributes directly to fights between cofounders actually much higher than it should be? Is this simply because YC is forcing people to match up to cross the eligibility threshold?"

I wouldn't be surprised if this puts a forcing function in place that yields a lot of sub-optimal partnerships. If you had a super-trendy hot night club with a height requirement, you'd find a lot of lifts in peoples' shoes.
The patent in question could be invalidated, and in the future patent trolls might be a little more careful what suits to file lest they lose their patent.
"This video is private."
I would say that the bar for "strong enough" is higher for single founders.

The biggest thing is that you have to be a very, very strong self-starter. One of the things a partnership gives you is socially constructed motivation. A single founder has to be able to self-motivate to a degree that most human beings cannot.
The police are allowed to lie. That's why you don't take legal advice from them.
Just like the parent said, while he kind of technically complied. But, again, it's more than obvious to everyone that it's not what was expected/demanded from him.

No, it really isn't. This is precisely why interactions between the law and technology are often quite confusing, because there's a mismatch between what the law says and the technological reality. It wasn't obvious what the law was demanding of him because such demands are rare and judges haven't figured out a boilerplate form of words to ask for the surrender of PGP keys or SSL certificates in particular file formats yet, and so they ask in general terms for 'encryption keys', leaving much open to interpretation. The existence of such ambiguities is why lawyers earn as much money as they do.

Levison wasn't 'fooling' the law at any point - he complied with the request as presented to him. The FBI wasn't happy with that response and went back to the judge for a more tightly-worded request, backed up by a threat of fines. At no point was the legal process subverted, 'hacked' or 'fooled'.

My point is that this is how the law works. If a judge wants you to do something then it is incumbent upon the judge to specify clearly what that is. You can't refuse without facing legal sanctions, but if the judge is vague or imprecise then you have at least some freedom to interpret the judge's instructions yourself. As I said earlier, corporate and government lawyers are experts in finding the most favourable interpretation of judicial rulings for their clients, and many legal cases revolve around reaching an interpretation of the law that is unambiguous enough to be enforceable.

Because it's related to Snowden. Again, it's quite obvious to everyone, that it's a hot issue and the government might go far to solve it.

Like it was said above, while I really support and respect Levison, it's not something you should be trying to fool - it's not a computer program...

What are you trying to say here? Sure, the government cares a lot about this case. But the judiciary and the government are not the same thing, and the law, as a matter of principle, is meant to apply equally in all cases. There are no special cases where the law should be applied differently because the case has the attention of senior government officials. You might say that I am being somewhat naive in that belief, but I think that most judges would agree that their role is as neutral arbiters of the law, not agents of the government of the day.

There is absolutely no sense in which it's possible to describe Levison's actions as incorrect. You can believe that he should have surrendered the keys in electronic format immediately, despite not being asked to do so, or you believe that he should have refused point blank to disclose them and thus disobey the judicial order, but those options are variously immoral or illegal, and the action of providing the printed copies of the keys was neither.
Only when you are young.

Possibly an exaggeration, but OP is probably referring to the workers who run Amazon's fulfilment centers.
Somehow I think the founder of an ultra-secure email provider knows this.
It's not Amazon employees, actually, their warehouses are staffed by those terrible day-labor contract places where people show up and wait for hours unpaid to find out if they get to work for minimum wage later in the day.

I've seen a lot of sources for Wal-Mart employees under similar pay levels. It was SNAP, TANF and Medicaid primarily, not so much 'welfare'. Still a sizable subsidy, and a decent % of those people's ultimate pay/benefit package.
Your definition of fair and square is weird to me. If other companies pay their employees more than Amazon, then it must mean that they think they gain some competitive advantage from that. If that turns out not to be true, then, assuming they're a US company, they operate in the same legal climate as Amazon and can pay their employees Amazon-scale rates rather than shutdown. If they do that and still lose, then your argument seems to fall apart.

Look, Prime is genius, their prices are ridiculously low, their return policy is more than generous, and as long as their shareholders are happy to subsidize me, the consumer, I'll probably never get enough.
True. I am really curious to see how the embedded Linux community i.e. the ARM community will reacts to this.I somehow don't see widespread adoption yet.
x86 people, or the one's who haven't heard much of ARM will find this kind of a board easy to start with.
Governments have longer vision than the general public, and see knock-on effects much further down the track. It's not to say that governments are visionary, but they're used to thinking in the longer term. One example is that the usual time to pass all your unpopular legislation is right after you've been elected, because it will have been forgotten about by the next election, unless it was a real stinker.

Another example is that governments have to be aware of growth patterns to plan infrastructure - they're operating at a different scale. Individuals often don't see the forest for the trees.

The 'free market' argument is really bad at long-term planning.
It will also help if some Treacherous Government complains that "You must have been doing something bad, you used SSL!" and everyone can turn around and say "But loads of things are SSL!"

That way you cannot prevent regular users to access Smalltalk classes they shouldn't be touching at all.

You can only avoid pruning for server side applications.
Then they would ask for the keys again. If they thought you did it on purpose, then it's another--probably much worse--contempt charge.
they don't have much to lose. If they're careful, they have backup servers in multiple places. If they can launder their money through offshore places, they can move their servers.
I believe this is in reference to those who work in the warehouses. Amazon uses a large number of tempory workers, which limits the number of hours available and the ability to become ft.

As a single founder who has tried applying to YC before (not everyone is Drew :P ) I think it comes down to already having traction.

Your chances are way better if you're already making money. I won't say that's a surefire way of getting in, but if you can prove that you can make money by already being profitable, I think you might have a decent shot.

There's a reason there is a bit of selection bias towards multiple founders. It's just more feasible.

In the end YC wants to fund people who will have a good likelihood of succeeding.

That being said, I think if you're a single founder in that position, applying for the experience of going through YC rather than the need is a great idea.
