In my last start-up, I was the sole Founder and had a Partner which dealt with the development side (instead of a 'Technical Co-Founder') so even though I could do it myself I prefer building the organisation. This time around we are Co-Founders but one is more 'Technical' by way of formal education.
With my last one, we have been together for several years. There was a bit of a stressful period last year which they could have easily cut me off but instead shrugged and went "Look, don't worry, if you have any further projects just let us know". That was several years after our first partnership agreement.
With the current one, I called this person out, working on multiple other projects and felt like mine was being delegated down to "Unimportant" (although could have been communicated better). In terms of potential development loss not a big deal, won't be a start-up killer, but nonetheless a pain for me. I am willing to 'train' up this Co-Founder though and get them into a start-up state of mind as to not burn any bridges.
I think that with Co-Founders you have to work on making things go smoothly, and it's the soft skills like:
- Communication (Founder agreements, meetings etc)
- Figuring out how to work as a team (ie who is doing what etc)
- Expectations. I think that some people have a concept as to what it's like being a Co-Founder based on what they read on blog entries, on popular culture and so on and then when they actually do take on board this type of position at a start-up they get that big wake up call. I think that is where fall outs happen especially for first-time entrepreneurs. Some people may also realise that they would rather work for a company or for a start-up rather than run one, and that's OK. Some people may not handle the stress and again, that's OK.

I think it's important that, in the end, we all treat each other like human beings. We're not saving lives here - we're not surgeons, nurses, firefighters. Keep that in perspective.
Not to mention that the Chicago Manual of Style recommends spelling out the number "two."

Not true. There's this little extra step where first the regulatory authority gets to decide whether your state needs another bank.

Misrepresenting much? We don't count carbs in lettuce. We generally don't count carbs at all. We just stick to eating lots of above ground vegetables, lots of fat, and only slightly increased levels of protein compared to a regular "balanced" diet.

Oh, and we avoid refined sugar for the plague it is.

But it might work differently in your part of the world.
> we could probably solve some really fundamental world problems (i.e. energy, climate change) in the near future

I have a feeling that if we had fusion plants providing limitless cheap power, we'd get back on an 8% yearly growth track for energy consumption, like with oil consumption before 1970.

Then within a century or so, we'd be producing an amount of power equivalent to 20% of what the earth receives from the sun. It would give a whole new meaning to "global warming".
Whaaa? Deposits over $100K (now $250K) were uninsured.
I did therapy years ago. It has it's uses. But I think there are plenty of other things that work better in some sense. It depends in part on where you are in your journey, good fit with the therapist in question, and other factors.

If you have genuine friends of the sort you can spill your guts to and/or people who can act as a sounding board, that can be really helpful. Also reading up on some things about how humans work can help. Plus learn some basic stress management, which is often about basic self-care. When I was raising special needs kids, I learned that a short nap, a tall glass of water and/or something to eat was sometimes the difference between "I can't take another minute of this!!!" and "The sun will come out tomorrow..."
Nice plugin. There is another project( https://github.com/sofish/pen) similar to this that supports lists and also can be used with markdown
I would presume that those actions would be secret.

I believe in freedom and the banking system isn't. It isn't stabilizing our economy, it furthers a cleptocracy and destabilizes the system. Banksters even get premiums for that and when they fail, a bailout, just to take their premiums from there.

That makes such woes some sort of contribution towards a better economy.
This seems like a myth to me. Radar? Rocket engines? Turing? Stealth bomber technology? Nuclear powered aircraft carriers? ICBMs? Stuff that was happening regardless of a war and stuff that was nearly useless.

Perhaps military first adopters are a net positive; like, the first buyers of a technology who will pay top dollar for working prototypes. But what on the original innovation side can you actually attribute?
They've also changed significantly over the last few years, so if you didn't see them recently, you may want to look again.
Even if he had done this though, its possible the hosts simply had the rule of thumb "I only rent to people who have rented before and have reviews." The OP has used the service many times and likely had numerous positive reviews, his friend was a first time user. Not a fair comparison.
BTW, what about the security implication of this password-test-runs? Users are essentially giving their "other" passwords to the site, right?

Obviously a benevolent site will NOT save/process those failed passwords, it may even take care to have them NOT stored in any logs...

An malevolent site on the other hand may even trick you into providing it some of your other passwords to it...

Online Fashion: Venture Scale Opportunity Silicon Valley Doesn't Understand
I would consider Ian Bicking to be a "top, super-productive coder" and he is saying exactly the opposite. In fact not to put words in his mouth, but I think he would agree with my opinion that you can not master something as broad and unqualified as "software development". You can only achieve the level of mastery he is talking about within a domain your are focused on for many years. Software in the gestalt is just too broad, it is arbitrary, any logical construct you can imagine can be built, but without an application deeply considered your efforts and crafting the perfect architecture with just the right tradeoffs will flounder. It's one thing to be a learned hacker who understands many paradigms, patterns and language features and can whip up a solution to anything in short order; it's a completely different thing to build an architecture that people consider brilliant and becomes a pillar of open-source.

> Yeah... I see no benefit in those, having a few more colliders instead would be really great.

That's because you're seeing it through the lens of our time. Remember, the B-2, and many other programs including the F-22, were devised during the trailing end of the Cold War (edit: that's actually a lie; the call for contracts and other such nonsense that would lead to the B-2 started in the 70s, and the F-22 program had existed in some form since the very early 80s). Whatever your conviction about whether or not such things should exist, government (and their militaries) in particular has a great deal of inertia, both in terms of expenditures and policies. So while both programs were in full swing during the collapse of the USSR, that era is primarily what laid the groundwork for such expenses.

Personally, I'm a fan of both. I love the hardware used in high energy physics. And I love military hardware.

If I were about 15 years younger and lived in a wetter climate, I'd go outside and splash in the mud right now. ;)
Your benchmarks don't mean much because you're giving different data to different packers.

cPickle gets a list of objects but json gets a list of dictionaries? The cost of converting the objects into the dictionaries is conveniently excluded from the json benchmark.

You should try serializing the same list of dictionaries, use the highest pickle protocol and repost results.
Have you never looked at the FBI crime statistics by race? Asians commit almost zero crime in America, and they earn more money on average than whites.

Neutrino Experiments Come Closer to Seeing Charge-Parity Violation
It's definitely still a science. For example, there are still basic fluid-mechanics questions we don't fully understand about how plasmas behave. Also there's this journal: http://www.ans.org/pubs/journals/fst/

If an airline seat could be sold profitably for 3 bucks, most consumers bought one or two seats a week, then the airlines could get away with probably charging 4 bucks for the same seat -- no one would blink an eye.

But when a seat costs $300, and people only purchase maybe once a year (or several years), then the airlines are less likely able to get away with charging $400.

In other words, two of the factors in this equation are how often the item is purchased, and how expensive it is (compared to the benefits).
The whole "dummy app just for booting specs" is silly, though. I ran into a ton of trouble trying to get it to play nice, just because my Engine had some dependencies from the main app. Not to mention fighting with rspec.

I agree with you if it's intended to be packaged as a gem, but if I'm only using it as a namespace separator, then it's pointless to fret about where it all goes - they were never meant to be used separately in the first place.

Do you have some examples of him banning people who were behaving well and discussing topics respectfully but were still banned? I actually don't see him banning many people; I think he's just frank about being willing to ban.

In particular, I think a lot of my fellow white males who charge into topics of sexism and racism do so without significant respect for the lived experience of participants or the large amount of existing discussion. It is easy for them to see a ban on that behavior as intolerance of their opinion.

One blogger I'm fond of recently quoted this bit: "The more foreign the idea, the more relational groundwork you need to do before you can broach that topic." [1] He was quoting a Christian pastor who is talking about how to introduce the notion of human evolution to Christians who are (incorrectly) hostile to it. But it applies anywhere: jumping in and expecting people to instantly listen to your views is in itself a behavior, and a lot of communities find it disrespectful. That it isn't intended that way doesn't really matter; part of being respectful to people is caring about whether your friendly intentions are matched by the impact they have on your audience.

As I understand, they are hoping to achieve fusion ignition, where no additional external energy will be required to generate power. So current efficiency calculations are irrelevant in that case.
There exists a win-win equilibrium for upper class people.

It's an advantage for wealthy, educated blacks to live in mostly white neighborhoods, because it shows that they've "made it" according to the (admittedly racist) standards of success.

And it's an advantage for the white majority in such a neighborhood to have a few blacks around to demonstrate how incredibly non-racist they are.

(Obviously, the underclass (of whatever race) gets left out to dry.)
I think in 1950, enough Americans were racist enough that many they'd simply head to a different neighborhood restaurant if a particular business had an appreciable number of black patrons. Maybe that's generous: in the 1950's the majority of Americans in many states were racist enough to try and ban interracial marriage...

Without the federal crackdown on discrimination in the 1950's and 1960's, housing, employment, public places, education, marriage, etc, would have remained segregated. In the background of that segregation, how long do you think it would have taken to get from "typical American circa 1950" to "typical American circa 2014?" Laws create social norms, and laws banning discrimination allowed a couple of generations of Americans to grow up in an at least somewhat integrated world, which led to the America of today where you can see people boycotting a business for serving blacks as something difficult to believe.
This strikes me as naturally similar to many human marketplaces, such as craigslist roommates, hiring practices, where to go grab a drink -- which have long been reflective of similar biases. In my anecdotal experience, the scales on airbnb/couchsurf/craigslist roommates/similar are even further tipped in a sexist? manner, dramatically favoring females.

There is little surprising or special about the sharing economy resonating these patterns. However, It does provide an excellent venue for study and potentially creative mitigation.
This looks nice on toy examples, but you aren't supposed to litter your code with numerical constants..
With variables, the readability difference is much lower, it helps avoiding mistake, but IMHO it would be better to use types to detect those mistakes..
We recently switched from using MixPanel + Crittercism + Sphinx to using qbox.io (hosted elasticsearch) and Kibana to do all our analytics, crash reporting, and search.

I can't recommend qbox.io enough! Point-and-click scaling of managed elasticsearch clusters + Kibana == bliss.
Those examples are somewhat extreme and don't support the premise that the US is the least racist society anywhere. You also need to separate out complicated ethnic conflicts that are largely geopolitical in nature than racist in a conventional sense.

Also muslims in India isn't racism it's inter-religious conflict which is a fundamentally different thing.
Hard to say what happened from the sketchy reports, but there's been some mention of "mechanical problems" due to lunar dust, and hibernation problems. I guess they have some mechanical movement involved in hibernation mode. Pre-positioning solar arrays, maybe? Storing instruments?

Lunar dust is notoriously abrasive, having formed in a non-erosive setting. It's a well known problem for lunar exploration, and NASA's done a lot of work on it. Not a lot of recent practical experience, of course.

The Chang'e designers must have known about the problem. Apparently they underestimated it, or just missed. Hopefully there's some good lessons learned for future missions. Getting there and working for a lunar day is a pretty good job in itself.
That is far from the only thing he did. He was the wunderkind of the project, and he did all kinds of things.

See for instance Gleick's Feynman biography, "Genius".

Another good read about the project is this bio: "The Curve of Binding Energy: A Journey into the Awesome and Alarming World of Theodore B. Taylor"

...which is obviously mostly about Taylor (on the Manhattan Project), but has some Feynman anecdotes.

Take a look at the comments section if you want to see political tribalism at its best.

> I thought Bush orchestrated the Patriot Act... who knew..?

> Regardless of your opinion of the surveillance, you gotta see this as a cynical political move. Bet he wouldn't sue a Republican president. Isn't good enough to disagree with Obama - a candidate has to demonstrate outrage with him to gain cred with the base.

Everything is right vs left to some people. There is no discussion of the consequences of this action, just name-calling an unsubstantiated claims. I hate discussing politics because the cognitive dissonance and mental gymnastics required to fully support Republicans or Democrats makes my head hurt.
I don't get why you got downvoted.

Being alone is not "an issue", as the common status quo of occidental society tries to make us think.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I assume the following about the author:
1. He's an american. You were lucky to be born in a first-world country where you can really get to be EVERYTHING you want. Yeah, even with all the "McDonalds/Starbucks/DumbAmericans" criticism being born here gives you access to many things that 90% of the world population can only dream of.
2. He's a middle-class young man. Society, your family and the people that care for you set everything up so that you can go through this period of your life without worrying about anything else than GETTING BETTER AT THE THINGS THAT YOU LOVE in order to earn yourself a place in society that you will enjoy for the rest of your life.
3. "This same nurse was present when some of my friends came to visit to wish me a speedy recovery from my allergic reaction. After they left, she looked at me and said, “Look at all those friends you have!” " - He can be a cynical asshole as much as he would want, but the fact that he had people that took some time to visit him at the hospital because he was ill (i.e. FRIENDS) also makes him a very fortunate person.

What I'd like to say to the author of this post is this: I don't want to change your mind and I don't care, I just want to tell you what's going to happen next. Ten years from now you will meet someone who didn't have half the things that you have access to now, this person will be happy with his/her life and you will still be bitching about how terrible yours is "because of the government", "because of a significant other(or lack of it)", "because money", "because... because... because...". The day you stand in front of this person, you will see the person that you had been if you weren't just a little pussy and that day you will enter a state of depression that is nothing like you have ever experienced before; definitely not the kind of depression that you are used to see on your teen movies. And that day you will kill yourself... and that's it, that's you.

Python has some problems but I don't think "hype" is one of them. It's almost 25 years old, and it's been in widespread use for at least the last 10. Hell, we've got 100kloc+ python codebase that probably qualifies as legacy already, how hype is that?
Correct from Auckland. The advertising company DraftFCB is actually on the other end of the street where I work as well. I told the staff at the gym last night about how this had blown up in the news and they were very happy that they were 'beta testers' for this marketing experiment.
