The reason is it is competition. Amazon makes games, you can't make games. If you want to do any sort of outside development then you have to ask permission, they can shut you down with or without explanation and they currently have a blanket ban on games. Or game engines, or anything related to games.

This includes starting a blog just to talk about game mechanics or the like.

Technically you aren't actually banned from making a game. It's just that you can't ever publish it, show it to anyone, or talk about it.

Of course if you apply you will get told it is no problem to do outside development.

I'm surprised those shiny new languages still can't do what was considered normal in good old BASIC. And all programmers nowadays go "Meh! BASIC. Considered harmful! Will permanently damage your brain!!!"

Come on people, FreeBASIC has really great options for object-oriented programming and could use your skills.
Huh I remember 2 interviews that I was sure I am never ever going to work at the company :-) At one well-known-company interviewer literally treated me like garbage from the very first minute (including waiting for the scheduled meeting in the building corridor), I didn't even try to do say anything then. Another one started pretty well, but then I saw the team (super demotivated) and they asked me to do some shady test-stuff (HTTP referer header spoofing), but the nail to the coffin was the manager telling me that I have to disregard notice time and instantly jump ships for them, because they won't wait for me ;-) So yeah, the interview works both ways, there were jobs (like my current one) that I felt that the fit is strong and the final negotiation effects are not so important.
So if you don't care you shouldn't penalize Amazon for telling you how it works.

Part of the problem I see after 11 years in the business, is that now I can see problems like you describe. I try and push as much work to the database as possible, not for performance (though that is a consideration) but because it is declarative, so you get less side effects. Its not as natural to think in sets as it is to think imperatively. But do people want to pay me more for this knowledge? Not here (in Spain). They want to pay extra for people using the latest fad technology, not people who know how to avoid problems at the design stage.

For the past 8 months we've been working on building a series of probes;

- Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.org.blocked...

- Python https://github.com/openrightsgroup/OrgProbe

- Raspberry PI images https://github.com/openrightsgroup/lepidopter)

And an open API to power them: https://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/Censorship_Monitoring_...

This is helping to build a picture of what the UK Governments Internet Blocking/Filtering/Censorship actually looks like.

You can submit URLs to be tested by visiting https://www.Blocked.org.uk by installing the Android app or by tweeting a URL with the hashtag #IsBlocked

Once we receive a URL it is dispatched to all probes over a period of time where it is checked against a know list of blocking methods.

The results are returned back to the API for public evaluation.

For example: https://www.blocked.org.uk/results?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.yc...

Please help us build a picture of UK Internet Censorship by adding URLs to be tested, by helping develop new probes (browser extensions, an iPhone client etc etc) or just by spreading the word that https://Blocked.org.uk is available.

Please also see https://www.blocked.org.uk/faq which will explain the level of filtering enabled on some of the probes which will explain why some sites may appear blocked even if you, being on the same ISP, can reach said URL.

My problem with Go being awesome, is that it only feels so if coming from C.

Greybeards like myself already experimented "Go's awesomeness" in the form of Modula and Oberon derivatives in the early 90's.

Having said this, reducing the amount of C code in the world, by using memory safer languages is surely positive.

ES6 modules are actually a nice combination of the asynchronicity of AMD (really required in a browser) and the code clarity of commonJS, so it's not really the case that it's not solving anything that commonJS doesn't solve. It also deals with circular dependencies better than CommonJS.

On top of that, module loaders provide hooks, so it's quite possible to use a module loader (e.g. System.JS) that can load commonjs or amd modules.

Browserify is brilliant, and if I couldn't use es6 I'd be using it, but I'm pretty excited about es6 modules.

Probably. This is indeed how I see most es6 development going for a while, but many servers already support SPDY which allows the server to push things into the clients cache that it knows they will need. This basically removes the need for bundling, while keeping the advantages of separate files.

So, I wouldn't be considering this as an avenue but I've just discovered something that I'm not at liberty to discuss but makes my current employer less than savory for me and my skillset.

I'm a skilled growth marketer who'd worked in political campaigning and was first full time hire for a YC startup. I've done a bunch of crazy things including starting my own company, though I must say now I won't talk about why I want to leave where I am. I'm looking for a position as head of growth or something similar, though I'm open to other options. I'm quite good at what I do and am active on HN which is why I'm doing this here.
You might want to add a 'tweet this' button to improve the virality of this. I can't afford this right now, but I still want to share it with my followers who maybe can. It's a cool idea.
Also, I have zero knowledge of marketing, but: what about adding a tagline on the first page, that explains it for those people who are impatient, don't have headphones and can't watch the video. Something that explains that you developed an electronic sleep mask that wakes you up with light.
> Wouldn't that have the same effect as a voting ring?

Perhaps, but those votes are caught by the ring detector the same as others, and the same penalties are applied.

It may interest you to know that when PG added the orange name thing, he also added a page showing stories submitted by YC founders. That really did have the same effect as a voting ring—which wasn't the intent, so he got rid of it. (This has also been discussed on HN in the past, btw.)
Here in Auckland, I think we only have those countdown timers at intersections where pedestrians can cross in all directions at the same time, so there are no cars speeding up to make the light, all of the cars are stopped.

I'm not sure what the laws in CA are exactly, but here (EU) non competes don't work generally. If you are a programmer and you go work as a programmer for the competition then even if you signed stacks of non-competes, they cannot be enforced. Simply because you are a programmer and not allowing you to take that job would mean you are potentially without a job which is about the worst thing that could happen. Most non-competes refer to you resigning and taking clients with your but even that is hard to enforce. The basics are ; if you are a nice company to work for and with, you have nothing to fear.

Where do you draw the line between "creating new software" and a "large scale project"? Every large scale project starts as a small project, so at some point you must decide to start writing tests; and then you have the burden of backfilling 'em.
> P.S.: Any communication with the outside world is a side effect (ex. network, file, database I/O), so sick of it or not, you better get used to it. Haskell masking side effects as monads through a language loophole isn't making things significantly better.

Eh what? Even as a Haskell non-user, this just doesn't make any sense.

a) Haskell doesn't "mask" side effects
b) The fact that monads are involved is completely irrelevant
c) It's not a language loophole
So, they've basically just reinvented SRP [1] using EC crypto. I'm a big fan of SRP and use it in production, but it has already years of refinements which makes it very secure. Designing auth mechanisms is hard, there are many subtle ways you can get it wrong. If you're looking for this kind of auth mechanism, I recommend to take a look at SRP first.

Still, kudos for their efforts. If they continue to improve this, it could take a fair amount of auth "market" some day.

tt-rss is what I use. It is very stable.
You can detect speed,ount and types ofcas with a pair of inductive loops (car length determines the type pretty well). I'd guess that putting such a pair some distance before the intersection would be a lot simpler (cars would obscure each other in the camera's view). That said, this would give you information about cars passing a single point on the road and would give you no information about pedestrians.

Do You Tell Yourself These Common Entrepreneur Lies?
As I said earlier -- I definitely appreciate the sentiment, and constructive criticism is always welcome when actually substantiated. I also took your post as an opportunity to elaborate a bit more on our model so my post got longer as a result.

> And there are organizations out there with great IT and clean data but (...)

This argument also works the other way round -- there are organizations out there with terrible data (and this is especially common with medical data), but there are also many high impact projects for which the data does exist in a workable form that are begging to be solved (and that we are actually working on solving). We are focusing on these in the short term, while laying the groundwork for the others in the medium-long term (both through the research arm we are building, and our data engineers). There is no reason not to get the low-hanging fruit first.

> I think that fleshing out the projects and areas of investigation you guys already have lined up (...)

Agreed. Since we created Bayes Impact two months ago our main focus has been on building the program from scratch and working on the projects as well, so the website has unfortunately taken a backseat. Another problem is that government organizations are very sensitive about communication and we can only communicate about our projects on their timeline. This results in us not having a website as fleshed out as we'd like, but this is par for the course for a new organization.

> I'd also suggest focusing the intensive course on analytical methods not the tools

Ah, I just saw the paragraph you're referring to. I get how the language may be a bit confusing and will make the appropriate changes -- our goal is actually to do the opposite: we bring on individuals who already have the analytical methods but some may not have had exposure to best industry practices. Because we focus on building production systems and not just write case studies, it's important to bring them up to speed in that minor respect. This is why we can spend only a week teaching tools -- teaching analytical methods to people without the required background would likely take much longer, which is not our target audience.

At a broad level we simply provide an avenue for data scientists to work on social impact problems in collaboration with domain experts, with us taking care of the overhead of scoping projects and doing the dirty work of acquiring and preparing the data as well as defining the implementation strategy. We also smooth out the edges in our Fellows' backgrounds if any but this is really not the core of the program.

Fortunately the pool of applicants as well as our current fellows does not seem to echo your fears but I'll review and see which changes to the fellowship page could help remove ambiguities in the future.

Hope it helps clarify. Regarding the Parkinson's project, feel free to reach out to me by email -- unfortunately we need to wait for the press release from the MJFF and the other partner before I can actually communicate about the details publicly.

This is incorrect and dangerously misleading. The NSA collects data that crosses the US border. An internet user in America is more likely to have their data cross a border if they use TOR. In this respect, TOR makes your data more likely to be collected unless you have reason to believe you're already being monitored anyway.
> and it allows users in Michigan to solicit sex from users in Florida, it's pretty clearly engaging in interstate commerce.

The above is really where I got the impression you were talking mainly about user to user interaction. Forum software would allow for "users in Michigan to solicit sex from users in Florida" so the statement seemed too inclusive.

Under the assumption they are facilitating what you said lines up with my understanding.
Not sure why that's unfathomable.

Canada is nuts about hockey. Americans as a whole are indifferent at best, yet we share a border. Mexicans are crazy for soccer.

If the US had the world's greatest soccer player, the majority of the country wouldn't care. Soccer is a sport that is played by about 30 million Americans a year, but it's a blip on the map at the collegiate and pro level here. People simply enjoy different sports, and the local culture reinforces it. Jim Brown was probably the greatest lacrosse player who ever lived, but his career was a footnote because the sport he played professionally was football, and he was an outlier at it.
Whoa, that's misleading. You're quoting part of this thread where people were having fun speculating about what the terms might mean. All these guesses were wrong. Please see my explanation elsewhere in the thread.
It's much too early to be certain of anything in the matter, but that T-Mobile is posting verifiable claims on their website seems like a good sign.

Although I'm guessing that was facetious, it's actually a variant of the truth: it's there to foster the YC network. PG added it years ago when he realized that the number of YC founders had gotten too large for them to know who each other were.

This is the singlemost monstrously misrepresentational and dubious thing I have seen any tech company do in my 20 years experience as a tech. It also profoundly concerns us all that this type of judgment can be made by our government without any of warning or consent by the people. Millions of users lost their home security and surveillance systems instantly due to this ill-advised decision.
We should hold the federal government and Microsoft directly responsible for any losses that happened today, and any that happen in the future as a result of any such action.
We might as well go ahead with emotional damages for causing the concern in the first place.
Since Amazon is all about data and conversions, I am sure they expect one or two hits from hundreds of complaints, which could be publiziced within Amazon with more concrete data for retention.
Excellent point, but would you care to explain how you would match subjects in this case? They should be comparable pre-something, but what would that something be?
The problem with Go is that it wasn't designed to implement any large projects like C was. So the designers would typically make trade offs on perceived beauty and elegance rather than utility and potential pain in the real world. Another side effect of this is optimizing for compiler simplicity rather than optimizing for expressiveness of the language. It's easy to forget we build compilers not for compiler's sake but for its target user. Here's the quote from Go's history:

we started off with the idea that all three of us had to be talked into every feature in the language, so there was no extraneous garbage put into the language for any reason.

I would also argue C++ started in similar fashion but it went exact opposite route. The balance between minimalism and feature creep can only be achieved if you are designing language as a side effect of building your own large scale project combined with a sense of urgency.

Go is currently a lucky language. There is a huge vacuum that Java has left after Oracle acquisition plus its prolonged stagnation. People who need compiled languages for their relatively new code base, Go would end up becoming their choice regardless of its shortcomings. People will enjoy its minimalism until code base grows to be monster and features starts becoming sorely missed. This is nothing unusual in world of programming languages. We have seen COBOL become a gold standard at one point and PHP is still pretty hot.
