I expect deliberate practice would also be of some help, as it is with many skills. I don't know whether it would be of sufficient help, or really have any more specific recommendations, but it might be an area to explore. With limited resources, of course, there's a trade off between spending time and effort improving these skills, and spending time and effort structuring your life so as to be less reliant upon them.

Hi HN. Michael from Inbox here.

We're pretty excited about this announcement, and can't wait to see what people build with these tools. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
No worries, upvoted. Knowlege ++
We use JIRA at my office, and I really do not like it for project management. JIRA gets too big and unmanageable way too quickly.

I have not, however, tried JIRA agile, which might be better.

For straight user stories, I love Sprint.ly. However, its feature set is just that: User Stories. It works extremely well, makes sense and is a pleasure to read.
Ask HN: Hosting for Rails-based startup
We're on the verge of launching a new Rails-based startup and we're looking for hosting advice. We're currently hosting the development version on Heroku, but we're well-aware of the costs once we launch and need to start scaling out. Because of that, we're toying with the idea of hosting it on a VPS and eventually moving to something bigger if the need arises.

We're fine with the added work of configuring the servers on our own, but we would like input or experience that anyone has had with the hosts they're currently using. I've been using Heroku for a couple of years now for most of my projects, so I'm out of the loop on who's currently providing the best VPS service. I've had personal experience with Linode and DigitalOcean, while one of our cofounders has had positive experience with 1and1. Anyone out there with some advice?
(Securedrop dev here) This is a really good point. Unfortunately, we're "as safe as SSL" no matter what, unless the source has a separate way to verify the .onion address on the SSL-protected page. They can use the SecureDrop directory for that (and we're working on other schemes as well), but it's not automated so only a handful of very cautious sources would likely do this.

I'm not sure how we could explain to avoid it - where would the explanation go? Visiting that page would be just as much of a correlation, no? It's kind of a chicken and egg problem, unless the source is already using Tor.

Avoiding the "trail of the SSL connection" also suggests we should be doing something to combat website fingerprinting, which we have discussed but do not have a clear solution for yet.

Our current thinking is that just visiting the landing page is not enough to prosecute a source. We can do better, and are working on it, but it's difficult.
The phrase "C++ is an extremely fast language -- meaning software built with it runs at high speed" needs to be changed to "It's possible to build high speed software with C++".

I take any performance claims made by a particular language with a pretty big grain of salt (particularly those made vs Java/JVM) unless they're accompanied by some reasonably sophisticated benchmarks and source that actually show a performance difference -- not just one that low-level language enthusiasts presume exists.

> I would have to agree. To me "Subtle-isms" could lead to a culture of fear.

If someone points out a subtle-ism it seems like it would be fine to ask for clarification and/or additional concrete examples.

They do try to address this issue by making the "social rules are lightweight" and tell students "feel free to talk to faculty."

> those who engage most with those around them, will likely break the most "Subtle-isms".

If the social rules are light then it is more important the student is learning to reduce their use of subtle-ism more then it is that it happens every once in a while.

Michael Dell: How I Became an Entrepreneur Again
(I made the graphic) - Unfortunately, there's obviously no data on the pitches that VCs see. There could be ways to halfway infer it - for instance, founder age tends to be different by industry (https://modeanalytics.com/benn/reports/a43fb710b2ef). If you look at how one VC's investments in one industry differs from overall investments in that industry, you might be able to somewhat control for the different pitches VCs see. But without more complete data, drawing any conclusions beyond things like "YC founders are young" is tough.

On a related note, here's something else I wrote that looks into whether or not older founders perform better: http://blog.modeanalytics.com/are-experienced-founders-bette...

You seem obsessed with this issue, right?

Why do summaries and abstracts exist? Why people do TL;DR versions on Reddit? Well, these things exist for the same reason that you visit links that you don't have time to read.

By the way, how do you know if an article is 10 pages long or 10 words long before actually visiting the link? If you visit an article because the title sounds interesting and then you find out that it is 300 pages long, would you read it? Or you would be crazy enough to read the TL;DR version?? But remember, if you read the TL;DR version, keep it in secret, otherwise someone will come and ask you why the heck you visit articles that you do not have time to read.
I don't know their implementation but I can think of two workarounds for the firehose issue:

1. Paid approach: use some authorized firehose data resellers. That's expensive, but if there are already thousands of users, that will pay off.

2. Free approach: use poll-based solution to search for the keyword every X seconds/minutes. When new tweet appears in the search results after the last recorded tweet - that's your new tweet. This way it shouldn't miss anything and you don't need firehose. Of course, to overcome request throttling limits, you'll need to use multiple different credentials.
> I believe that Gladwell was merely suggesting that talent is not innate and the difference is somebody's ability was due to the amount of time they put into it.

Neither is true. Everything is heritable, as the behavioral geneticists like to say, and increasingly the genetics are being defined and nailed down; and the latter is completely refuted by the OP study and the previous Hambrick study - time spent on a field has only a weak relation with results.

I have mixed feelings here.

On the one hand, the announcement is correct that "email is here to stay" and it's exciting to see innovation on top of an ancient protocol that was never intended for the abuse it receives today (IMAP).

On the other hand, the announcement is correct that "email is here to stay" and because my entire life runs out of my inbox, I am almost certain to never grant an arbitrary third party like Inbox access to my mail. How does Inbox make money? And Inbox fully intends to store my mail; why should I trust them?

On the other other hand, I have been a long-time happy customer of Fastmail.fm and I am both amused and disappointed to see that Inbox does not support an arbitrary IMAP connection (e.g. to support Fastmail).
Falcon 1 had several customers, but it wasn't really cost competitive and they ended up with enough investments to develop the Falcon 9, which would be far more lucrative for them. How commercially viable the Firefly will be is utterly dependent on the cost. Given the simplicity of the design and the alleged ability to mass produce them, they might be able to get the price point low enough to be commercially viable.

Given that the satellites they are proposing to fly are built on budgets in the single millions of dollars, I think they are aware of what their costs need to be and wouldn't be doing this unless they thought they could hit those cost figures.
Shaming rituals, however light in touch they are, rarely improve things.

I'm one of the founders of Hacker School. I can't stand politics. If these rules actually created the environment you're imagining, we'd get rid of them immediately.

Not to be an apologist, but you can work around the performance issues in XFS, and a good amount of them were patched up in recent kernels. Disabling write barriers, delayed logging, and an independent journal device make it as fast (or faster) than ext4.

It looks like some people are getting carried away with the SEO implications of this.

We're not implying that your site will get ranked higher than other sites if you have HTTPS. What we're saying is that if your site has both HTTP and HTTPS versions of the same content that Google will now return an HTTPS link. The biggest implication is that if you support HTTPS most of traffic will now be using HTTPS rather than HTTP.
What is the biggest cost of a launch then?

I am genuinely curious. I would've have thought that the amount of special-purpose propellant would be the biggest factor.
Thanks for your response. I'd like to dive a little deeper into the basis for these claims. My current stance is that there isn't sufficient reason to adopt Haskell for use in production.

> Write software faster with fewer bugs

Is there an evidentiary basis for the 'fewer bugs' claim? What type of software are people writing faster with Haskell?

>> easier to maintain down the road because the "mental model" is maintained in the types by the compiler

That seems fair.

>> it's more succinct, it's fast

In isolation, that's a bit hand wavy IMO.

>> some of the world's brightest computer scientists work on it

This is something I hear quite often from the Haskell community in particular. It may or may not be true, but it gets repeated far too often IMHO. It feels like a bit of an appeal to authority.

You seem to think this says something about people in the industry; To me it seems the only sane reaction is to conclude that the association of the second group of people with open-mindedness is an illusion.
You shouldn't be. There are 185 trademarks for "Firefly" in the USPTO database [1]. Fox don't own any of them, but even if they did it would only apply to specific goods or services such as publishing fiction and merchandise, not launching rockets.

That said, I doubt one could call such a company "Harry Potter's Wizardly Rockets" without receiving a lawsuit, but I suspect such claims would be based on copyright.

Transistors are much less complex than neurons; it takes multiple transistors even to implement a single logic gate, and the input-output function for a single neuron is much more complex than a single logic gate. (Some neuroscientists might say that processor cores are less complex than neurons, though I'm not sure I would go that far. I would only say that it would take a small number of neurons--much smaller than the number in the brain--to be equivalent to a processor core.)
I think most programmers I know have heard of D. When I took at look at it years ago, I concluded that the main problem was that it tried to please everyone. There's simply 'too many' features without a core theme to drive programming.

(Securedrop dev) That's not an implicit encouragement, despite it being your interpretation. Library computers, in my experience, do not typically allow you to install software on them, such as the Tor Browser Bundle, which is needed to access SecureDrop.

The explicit encouragement that is clearly written on the landing page is to use a personal computer (not a work computer) and a public network (e.g. a coffee shop).

That does not mean you would not be able to ask for clarification, concrete examples, how it has a negative effect.

It has not thing with being or having intent to be homophobic, sexist, etc. It is about some phrases being much more likely to have such intent and meaning in society in general.

It is unrealistic to expect a N random someones hearing a subtl-ism to understand the speaker's internal meaning of a phrase or word. While those N random people should endeavor to not jump to conclusions about the speakers internal meaning, for the most part all they can go off of is how society uses the word/phrase.

There's a real opportunity for startups to solve real-world problems, not the "We are Dropbox meets Quora for AirBnB" type ones. Transferwise has a neat approach, which involves the currency never actually leaving the country, albeit at the cost of a couple of days of delay (essentially, they do peer to peer matching of needed cash flows); Remitly is slightly more traditional, but is still way cheaper than Xoom or Western Union. There's a lot of money to be made here while solving a major pain point.
As a european biker my theory on the aggressiveness in the debate about bikers in the USA is simply that, due to how traffic laws over there are structured, bikers are much more endangered and have to respond with much more aggressiveness.

As an example: In Germany a biker legally has to keep a minimum distance from parked cars. This often means riding in the middle of the lane, something which german bikers are not only, as in this minimum distance case, forced to, but generally allowed to in every case.

From what friends in the USA tell me, trying to do that is a very quick trip to a hospital.

"Shaming rituals, however light in touch they are, rarely improve things. They're just another small-p political tool to be used by politically minded people to exert social control."

This is absolutely true. The only thing that will improve someone's manners is their mother slapping them when they got out of hand while growing up. Once they're an adult, their concepts of social roles and the appropriate ways of interacting with others are fixed. The only path of improvement is for them to die off.
