The labor isn't meaningless, it's simply worth less than $7.25 to the private sector.

Do you consider the work of FDR's CCC (e.g., forestry, national parks) to be worthless? Do you believe that the CCC destroyed jobs via the mechanism you described here? All I'm proposing is replacing welfare with the New Deal. I take it you were opposed to the New Deal?

Also, you seem to be under the impression that people who would hypothetical receive the BJ cannot find a job. Most are not looking for one.
> I believe that even an excellent feature should be left out of a language if it increases its complexity and the benefits do not solve a problem I care about every day, while you might think it's OK to increase a language's complexity even for features that won't be used so often.

No, I don't think we disagree here at all and I think it's one of the design principles behind the language.

“do not solve a problem I care about every day” is just another phrase for “anything I'm remotely unfamiliar with”. And again, just because you decided to not invest the time to understand thing X, doesn't mean all daily users of X are idiots.

You couldn't offer much here except structural types, so let me just take it is an example. Structural types were not “added” to the language because they are “so great and useful”, but because it eliminated an inconsistency where one would have types which one could express and a subset of types which would be e. g. a valid type for a method's parameter.

Treating types consistently is a huge reduction in complexity for users because they don't have to divide types into types which can be used everywhere and types which can't be used everywhere. If you think this is just an academic idea, have a look at the weird corner cases this creates in Java where you can call methods on an instance directly, but if you assign that instance, the methods seem to not exist anymore.

Ceylon, by the way not only agrees on that with Scala, but the designers marked this as one of their pillars of language philosophy (principal types).

Almost everything you can do in Java is probably easier and more consistent in Scala. Claiming that those things which Java can't do (e. g. having a remotely useful type system (1), typeclasses, ...) make the language simpler is just trying to ignore that problems are not solved by wishing them to go away. Those things just crop up in an ugly way elsewhere, be it in ridiculously complicated frameworks, in bytecode manipulation, etc.

(1) There is a reason proponents of dynamically-typed languages bring up Java when they explain what's wrong with static typing.
I believe it's an exaggeration to claim that shoe manufacturers would quadruple their charges if they did not have access to debt.

The structure of a successful business would be essentially the same. Plus, the bank is already charging an amount which corresponds to the value provided.

I'm confused by your characterization. Why do you think it is brusque?
If your margins are low, and you can still grow, aren't you still in a substantially better place than many revenue free companies that have received huge amounts of VC (based on the OP's criteria for VC investment). Hell, Twitter's margins are negative right now (as long as I am not mangling the use of "margin") and that hasn't stopped investors.
> But we have made modern war so expensive, nobody can afford another one.

It's a rich irony that this very same argument was proudly claimed.. about 100 years ago.
In an ideal world the OS could still replace the call sites with straight calls to the loaded library, circumventing a jump table altogether. I don't remember what this is called, maybe something like a thunk, but I've seen it happen in the debugger where the first call causes a fault which rewrites the call site with the target address and subsequent calls are straight to the lib. This can work even if the chunk of code containing the call sites is shared and readonly, as long as the OS can override that.
These books are good for humbling people who think they know a lot about computer science. They are definitely not good for introducing people to computer science.

An extraneous 'the' in the first sentence.
Job boards start easily, but you'd be surprised at how much they can spiral into some of the most convoluted code you've ever seen. They're almost the exact definition of a scope creeping CRUD app. This is compounded by the fast that an MVP job board is so low hanging that corners are often cut into oblivion, causing inescapable technical debt :)

I expect "We work remotely" was rooted partially in an attempt to burn down the old job board codebase and start over with more defined and scalable scope.
I would be much more creeped out if Peter Thiel wasn't running the company. I'm intrigued by that man, and for some reason he seems to be able to bank that for trust, at least for me.

It was actually part of their original plan (See the beginning of http://blog.app.net/2013/02/25/introducing-a-free-tier/)

First they charged and crowd-sourced for marketing and proving their concept. Paying early adopters allowed them to pay developers which attracted the developers who made apps. Then they had the apps and content to attract the users, so they made it free.

I believe they embraced of open standards like RSS and WebFinger (http://blog.app.net/2013/08/07/response-to-brennan-novak-par...) to make sure developers would choose them for implementation.

I think App.net maybe trying to become the identity platform for the web (maybe not the only one but a damn good alternative to the rest).

As a developer given the choice between Twitter's 100k token limit or App.net's almost 200k users (plus a chance to get paid by app.net) it's a no brainer.

I think their main competitor now is Facebook Connect. And there are plenty of users out there that are refusing to use FB.

I am curious how this advice applies (if at all) to Viaweb? If it sounds like I am presuming, I honestly would not be surprised to hear Viaweb was solving multiple problems you may have encountered at the time.

As a side, the most financially successful side project I started (not calling it a start-up out of respect for your definition) was a vampire themed energy drink - it did not solve a problem for me or anyone else but took advantage of a market created by the entertainment industry. The side project I am most proud of having co-started is a $20/month primary health care network for uninsured/under-insured which was the result of a personal problem - I was uninsured.
The bonded 2 of 2 having a Nash equilibrium only when both parties are honest makes some assumptions that leave some opportunity for abuse regarding comparative advantage.

For instance if I the seller benefit from having the purchaser lose money. I can remove twice as much money from the other party as from myself.

Extremely Hypothetical Example:
Party 1: Rich Grape grower
Party 2: Upstart Raisin maker

Party 1 sells grapes to party 2 which sells raisins, party 1 decides to enter the Raisin market off party 2 demonstrating its profitability. The next order for N bit coins worth of grapes Party 2 places never arrives, party 2 is now out 2N bitcoins which to them as a small bussiness is huge and may delay or reduce their next order from an alternate supplier, Party 1 is out only N bitcoins which to them as an established business is minor and they have hurt the existing player in the market they are about to enter.
These are HN favorites, along with K&R - I wouldn't recommend any of them to beginners no matter what their background is.

Instead I'd suggest a good succinct explanation of Big O notation to be digested and promptly forgotten (anybody who studied calculus should have intuition for it anyway, it just nicely ties in to the "cost" of the code they'll produce) and straight to scripting in Python with them. :)

I tend to believe its the job of the political class to reconcile technological change with societal well-being.

I agree-- but I also don't trust the current "political class".

It's made worse by the current Silicon Valley arrogance, which assumes everything "big" (esp. government) to be intractably mediocre (and, therefore, useless) because the whole populace (i.e. the full IQ spectrum) is a part of it. I feel like this secessionism is a rather Machiavellian move by the technological elite to convince their underlings not to see the big picture, because it's all mediocre and inefficient out there anyway. The attitudes coming out of both the technological and political elites (both anti-intellectual and limited in their own ways) are bad for both sides.
> Clearly stated, you criticism should be that my claim is tautological, not trivial

Its both, and "circular" is another word for tautological.

> But you seem to be forgetting that the proposition was part of a larger argument, where I was criticizing a previous post which claimed to support liberty, but was also supporting government healthcare programs.

No, I'm not. Your argument in support of government healthcare plans being inconsistent with liberty was that they destroyed private healthcare, a claims which, when questioned, required redefining "destroy private healthcare" to just mean that government remains involved in healthcare at the same or greater level.

So, the whole line of argument was superfluous abuse of language to cover up a bare assertion that government action in any domain is, in and of itself, inconsistent with liberty.

There isn't even an argument in any meaningul sense being made.
I'm not sure KBR and Blackwater are the best examples of companies in good public standing.

The argument for Palantir is that pattern recognition applied to big data can save lives. That's enough for me.
> it's safer to transport the materials without the added attention from armored escorts

A colleague of mine who once worked at a nuclear power plant said this is precisely the reason. Also, as mentioned below, this material, while decidedly dangerous, is considerably less so than, say, spent nuclear fuel, which is actually moved in giant police escorts.

(Interestingly, they told me that some states actually refuse to have spent fuel trucked through their land, so often it has to be rerouted many hundred more miles between plant and destination.)
I would say that outsourcing development jobs is at least a wash. Relatively wealthy people in developed countries may be (temporarily, let's be honest) out of work, but far less wealthy people living in less developed countries will have the opportunity to make what is, for them, a good wage.

Automation is harder to justify this sort of way. Outsourcing moves jobs around, automation is intended to eliminate them (yeah yeah, we need people to make and fix the robots, but let's be real, there is a net loss of jobs and we can only hope that cheaper products will trigger the creation of new, largely unrelated, jobs.)

Great for them; Palantir is definitely a company I respect. I went to their office for an interview about 10 months ago for a job I didn't really want. I didn't get the job and I'm in a better position today, but I have nothing except great things to say about their people and office. During the visit, I learned a decent chunk about how big agencies use software like their's just in a 1-hour demo. They also use their own software to do a lot of humanitarian work.

Which the founders surely know. Unless you believe they model themselves after the evil wizards (and barely anyone ever thinks of themselves as evil), it's more of an acknowledgement of the risk.
From what I understand, it is due to the programming specifics of the training algorithms, primarily being focused on exploiting certain registers and architecture features specific to Fermi. The code actually got updated from GTX280 series to GTX580 series IIRC, so it is likely that it will be updated again at some point by a motivated researcher or group. I suspect there simply isn't a need to update right now for most labs (though I suspect TITAN / TITAN LE / TITAN II may change that). Also, Alex Krizhevsky now works for Google :), so someone else may need to do the updating.

If you're going to have a CIA, and they're going to have technology, why not have them look outside their corporate walls to create it? I can't imagine that a big government organization is capable of creating groundbreaking technical innovation better than small groups of hungry silicon valley individuals.

> I tend to believe its the job of the political class to reconcile technological change with societal well-being.

In a democracy (including a representative democracy) the "political class" is the citizenry at large, so that responsibility belongs to everyone in such a society. (Accepting, arguendo, that it is an obligation of the "political class".)

Believe me, I have no skin in the game, but that's not exactly true. Creationism, as it is most often used, is the belief that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago according to Genesis. Intelligent Design most often refers to God being the one who guided/created evolution, gravity, etc. which had the purpose of leading to humanity.

The key takeaway in the benchmarks seem is that Go is significantly slower than the rest, much much slower.

Apart from the regular 30-sec interval postings on HN extolling the virtues of Go, it seems to me, people should rekindle an interest, or discover a new interest in D, C or Erlang where performance is a consideration, and maybe Go where a need to feel like part of the post-Ruby crowd.

interesting! I wonder if perhaps a logical way to combine "pages" is into a "book" or a "codex".

It would kewl if this vein of technology grows. Perhaps cached tabs could store a snapshot for offline-browsing and recall after the page is down, too...

...or if multiple web pages could be combined into a single browser page.

Yes, some kind of meta-layer would be neat.

Maybe even combine a "multipath" "narrative" "storyline" into a navigable structure for communicating ideas from multiple perspectives, like news stories or technical manuals or software/hardware/testing/docs of the same product..

How about this: Instead of dispatching drones from a warehouse, how about dispatching them from a delivery vehicle? So the Semi filled with orders drives into a town (doesn't even have to park), and these drones fly back and forth from it delivering packages -- it saves the driver the need to stop at each address, yet it also allows deliveries further from the warehouse.
Looking forward to it. My email is on my profile

I keep seeing this sentiment everywhere. I don't know why people thinks this is a joke, that it is: "illegal," "implausible" and "kind of silly". Yes, Bezos did this to help boost up sales and set up PR to help the lobbying, but that isn't the only thing about it. Why are people so stuck up on the silliness of the idea? Have people stopped being able to exercise their imagination and executing on it? Just because you can't conceive yourself pulling it off does not mean someone else cannot...

Not only do I think Bezos has the imagination and will to pull this off, I know this is being implemented in places outside of the US. It's already happening. Right now. And if it is happening, right now, is it implausible? Is it silly?

By the way, I make a distinction between something we can do and something we should do. I am not sure this is something that is good for the world even though I don't think this is a silly idea. I see another facepalm moment coming up when the folks who have been saying this won't happen start screaming angrily that this shouldn't be happening.
