Conversely your smartphone connects to a lot of mainframes which are stacked to the brim with Intel processors and that's not changing.

Intel have tons of breathing room in the market - and they only need to succeed at beating ARM once to break their hold. They have faster fabs, more fabs and more engineering talent then anyone else in the business. They're not going anywhere.
Of course! There are professional poker players who run bad for months at a time even. Variance is a cruel mistress. That doesn't negate the fact that talent certainly gives you an edge in poker or in the startup world. It's easy to say it's all luck, but that attitude doesn't pay service to the many successful people who had raw talent or an excellent idea in addition to the luck that allowed them to become successful.

There's a difference between pivoting to a random new exciting idea when the previous idea doesn't pan out, and pivoting e.g. when you discover that your product happens to have a feature that a significant number of people are willing to pay for.
I'd imagine it would depend heavily on the military specialization and experience. Some specializations, e.g. military police, would probably feel right at home doing this. It's also worth noting that many members of the armed forces have served in peacekeeping capacities and probably have more experience defusing dangerous situations than your typical bouncer.
Having been working though brain & mind health issues for nearly 10 years, trying a vast array of treatments and reading through a large volume of research, I can say with confidence that this position is an oversimplification.

I understand the point of view; for about the first 8 years of my journey I treated it as purely a physiology problem - and I did make some progress.

But since more recently turning my attention to the concept of emotional health - particularly subconscious linked to early-life traumas - the improvement in my life has been far more dramatic.

I hope to write on this topic soon to explain my experiences in more detail.
It's happened once before with horses. During the industrial revolution horse-employment plummeted to the point that there were very few horses left laboring. IMHO, the most disruptive technical solution in the pipeline is self-driving cars. Once we enter the age of the "driverless carriage", the amount of unemployment that occurs will be unprecedented. People completely under-estimate how many industries are touched by automobiles.

The industry I'm most curious about with respect to the downward ramp is medicine. The hollowing out and automation is likely to happen with doctors more than nurses. With that in mind, will doctors suffer the most or will they push out the nurses underneath them.
Ive is a tool and Steve Jobs used it well.
From Fonar v. GE, 1996: “As a general rule, where software constitutes part of a best mode of carrying out an invention, description of such a best mode is satisfied by a disclosure of the functions of the software. This is because, normally, writing code for such software is within the skill of the art, not requiring undue experimentation, once its functions have been disclosed. * * * Thus, flow charts or source code listings are not a requirement for adequately disclosing the functions of software.” [0]

The patent lawyers have figured out that requiring that software patents make sense and reveal actual new engineering knowledge would make them useless for extracting cash for lawyers from actual working programmers.

It's a little misleading to include only part of that quote:

"The core creative community is very small but is also very close – there’s been changes there, but the change isn’t perhaps as dramatic as you might assume."

He's saying that there have been changes to their design process and the structure of their design organization, but they haven't been as dramatic as people might assume. Meaning: iOS 7 is a dramatic change from iOS 6, so one might assume that there has been a dramatic change in who's designing the user interface and how it's being designed, but that's not the case.

Regarding the critiques of iOS 7/8 design, keep in mind that it's version one of a new design language. Look at Aqua in the Mac OS X Public Beta a decade and a half ago, and compare it to Aqua in Mavericks. It's going to take some refinement. But from what we've seen in Yosemite, and to a lesser extent iOS 8, they've already begun the process of refining their new design language.

I thought I had social interaction down pretty well. At work, I'd always have an entourage of people near my desk chatting. I see friends once a week. But i had no idea that I can be what I am now.

You know those people who can just strike up conversation with anyone? Yeah, It took me 6 months of travel. I suggest you take a gap year to travel. Hostels are the best place to practice social interaction and even if you bomb it, there is always a new group tomorrow.

believe me when I say, it is not your language skill that is lacking. You just aren't interesting enough and haven't tested out the way to converse with people effortlessly yet. As an engineer, do a trial and error if... else if ....

I know this because I met a south Korean with broken english who learned English within one year of travelling. He was the centrr of attention and he talked to everyone. The feeling was, it's just talk. Don't make such a big deal out of it. Some people are assholes and you move on.

What I've read is most of the lag in the more optimized touchscreen stacks (read=iOS) is due to filtering and smoothing, which takes a few samples to do. The worse stacks (early android) had poor drivers and a lot of layers of abstraction, or worse, Java (maybe this is what you mean when you say "UI Graphics", but the raw numbers we're talking about here are on a far lower layer than scrolling in lists).

Graphics rendering lag is at worst 2 frames of video (double-buffering).

A patent can have many claims.

For instance,

1. A system for sending and receiving email.

You can probably find prior art for that.

2. Claim 1 where the email is sent over a TCP/IP network

And probably you can find prior art for that.

3. Claim 2 where the network is wireless

NTP won over $1 Billion for filing a patent with a claim about this serious, mostly from Blackberry.

Now you can continue like this indefinitely. That's why every time there's a new system, there are thousands of new patents that can be issued. Email on a phone, email over multipath TCP, email with a touchscreen, email with MIME messages, email with MIME messages on a touchscreen, &c. Each of those is considered valid to patent by the PTO. Then instead of email, try playing MP3s, or word processing, or online backup. You quickly arrive at a thicket of a million valid software patents covering everything you might ever want to program many times over.

I realize that there is skepticism about extending the Uber model to other areas, but this is one of those applications where it makes a previously-confusing market accessible to consumers. When I have thrown parties in the past, I never considered hiring a security guard because of the difficulty in obtaining one. Time, not cost, was my limiting factor. I could justify hiring a guard through Bannerman for future events.

The difficulty is expanding to the corporate market. Recurring security services lack opacity - for instance, a night guard at an office. The main opportunity for Bannerman is targeting non-recurring security needs - the current service does not hit that sweet spot of the Uber model between consumer and business markets. The inefficiency they solve is making pooled resources available to those who would previously only have access on an recurring basis.
How Can I Say A File Is SVG Without Using A Magic Number?
In light of recent revelations of manufacturers giving reviewers different hardware than what they sell to the public, I think it's important to find out where these drives came from. If techreport just walked into a bestbuy (or amazon) and bought the six drives consumer-reports-style then I'd be willing to believe that this is a legitimate test of consumer hardware, but if they were given the drives from the OEMs the there is a chance that some jiggering was done to boost scores.

Though I guess in the long run if they do even half as well as the report suggests we're probably in good shape.

Class 9 Notes Essay (2012)
I can't speak to this as a subject I've done a lot of research on, but this reminded me of a story I heard on NPR a few years ago. The story argues that taxis actually spend a disproportionate amount of time on the street, relative to other cars, and so have a disproportionately large effect on the overall city congestion. This is because cars drive point-to-point but taxis stay on the street all day. The conclusion drawn is that this increased congestion will actually cost tons of money.

This point is directly opposed to your statement that "Taxis are better optimised resources in urban areas than car-ownership".

I can't argue that either point is right or wrong, but I'd like to know if you had any information I can read supporting your point about taxis being better optimized for cities.

In any case, I just wanted to contribute this story as another data point along the way.

Since when is it a function of government to feed the hungry and clothe the naked? Britain was not yet a cradle-to-grave welfare state at the time of World War II. Government does have moral obligations -- to enforce just laws, defend the peace, etc -- and (you may not have heard about this) the British at the time were busy fighting an existential battle for the survival of freedom and civilization, including India's.

I am not calling Indians lazy. I am challenging the assumption that "If it was theoretically possible that somehow X could have saved Y from a famine, no matter how unlikely, then X is responsible for the famine." It is beyond outrageous to argue that Britain intentionally killed millions of Indians based on that stupid theory. It is not I who am infantilizing Indians, but you sir.
I think you could argue this either way with security training vs. destructive tendencies vs. PTSD risk - but one of the core competencies is experience with risky situations and a proven history of not leaving post during an emergency. Much of the value of a security guard is having a level-headed authority when something goes awry - whether it is a fire alarm, a police officer inquiring about the party, a boisterous crowd in line, or a person who needs to be removed. Think of it as a "designated driver" as much as a protection.
But this isn't really an Uberization. The main reason you feel comfortable with this security provider is because it's affiliated with a group (YC) that you trust. There are likely dozens of good security providers out there that make it easy and reliable to hire security guards but have been unable to break through the noise to reach you.

Also, most of the Uber-wannabes are missing a huge component: an industry with lots of existing rules and regulations that can be finessed around.

> Science only claims correctness in light of current knowledge, within certain error bars.

I concur, but my point is that with regard to the mechanics and composition of the universe in which we live it would seem that the more we measure the larger those error bars appear to be. Every once in a while measurements come along which multiply the size of those error bars exponentially and once that happens scientists should take note to adjust the English language they use in characterizing the limitations of their own knowledge. Modern scientists seem to be notoriously slow at this and my suspicion is that this is because it would give the impression that certain fields of science are becoming less knowledgeable as time goes on, and that's not good PR. In other words my only complaint here is related to sociology, the use of language.

Thank you for prompting me to refresh my memory on the differences between mathematics and scientific inquery because in so doing I ran across a quote having to do with the role of the theorist (my favorite) who is caught between the two worlds:

"Before an experiment can be performed, it must be planned — the question to nature must be formulated before being posed. Before the result of a measurement can be used, it must be interpreted - nature's answer must be understood properly. These two tasks are those of the theorist, who finds himself always more and more dependent on the tools of abstract mathematics. Of course, this does not mean that the experimenter does not also engage in theoretical deliberations. The foremost classical example of a major achievement produced by such a division of labor is the creation of spectrum analysis by the joint efforts of Robert Bunsen, the experimenter, and Gustav Kirchoff, the theorist. Since then, spectrum analysis has been continually developing and bearing ever richer fruit."

Speaking as someone who is in their 30s, I couldn't care less about the silly voices, the endless repetitive churning out of videos about the same indie games (God knows I'm still watching Bisnap do endless playthroughs of Risk of Rain and Binding of Isaac) or the clearly very young fanbase. Those things don't really bother me.

I signed up for Freelance Inbox because I was frustrated with sifting through all the awful leads on job boards. In hindsight, I didn't know how to identify a good lead even if I found one. When the first Daily Leads email landed in my inbox, I thought "Oh, okay. So these are what good leads look like."

The $29/month provides a steady stream of freelancing opportunities, as if I had a virtual assistant finding leads for me Monday - Friday. Now I can spend my time responding to well-written, serious leads while patiently building freelancer/client relationships.
An interesting sidenote on the history of copyright:

If you're in the US and most other countries, by clicking the above link you may commit copyright infringement.

In Australia, the copyright for work of authors who died before 1955 expires 50 years after the death of the author, so Orwell's copyright expired in 2000. That's why OP's link is hosted in Adelaide. The same site has a warning for US users: http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/o/orwell/george/

In the US it's 70 years, so Orwell's work is still protected until 2020.
The "Best Comments" link under Lists (https://news.ycombinator.com/lists) at the bottom of each page is a easy summary of the sorts of comments that HN admires. It's also another way to browse the site when you are tired of trudging through the "New Links" pages (https://news.ycombinator.com/newest).

It's nice to see a lot of solid substance and not much fluff. There's a mix of long and short comments, but encouragingly, no one-line quips, memes, or put-downs that I saw. There's always a lot of chance involved, but if you are wondering how to craft the sort of comments people want to see, this might be a good list to pattern after.
In the past, I have been advised by my employers that I should never read patents. The reasoning is that if I have a policy of never reading patents, then I can never willfully violate a patent. This limits the amount of damage I can cause when I inevitably violate a patent.

When engineers are advised by lawyers to never read patents that pertain to their field, you know the entire system is a fucking joke.
