It is not really the same because any of your examples would not supposedly coincide with a 1500 BC civ. So none of it would be observable. You would only be talking about stuff in the way distant future that did not exist at the time and only a time traveler would be able to describe.

The Fermi Paradox is a discussion based on that there currently SHOULD be advanced tech and colonized civs at the SAME time we are and have been looking for them. So where are they?

Even ruling out a Earth or even Solar System visit, they should have evidence out there that can be seen. Some sort of energy signature, a space station, satellite, giant mothership as it checks out life detected as us. SOMETHING. The Fermi Paradox says, by now, there should have been at least one Type III civ in our galaxy given how old it is and they would eventually tip their hat to their existence, unless they purposely try and are able to hide themselves.

Yep, that's pretty much how you have to do it. (If all you need is increment/decrement, though, you can actually do it pretty concisely with decimal-digit strings. Skipping the binary-to-decimal conversion greatly simplifies displaying numerical values.)

Godep has been pretty composable in my experience. I use Godep in a makefile to build, and it does everything in a constructed GOPATH as well.

GOPATH := ${CURDIR}/build

build:
@env GOPATH="${GOPATH}" godep restore
@test -d "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/user/repo" || ln -s "${CURDIR}" "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/user/repo"
@env GOPATH="${GOPATH}" go install github.com/user/repo

I do like the look of Goop's dep format file though. The Godeps file is pretty ugly in comparison.
Agreed. Get 1 campus profitable, prove the model. Then expand to your closest 5 campuses. Prove the model there. Find a way to make a lean profitable business. Then, the world is yours.
This seems to happen a lot. Someone makes a wicked way to consume the news, but cant find a way to monetize it other than pivot into social analytics or premium content aggregation. Storyful is the other example that springs to mind. It's nice that frrole at least kept their old product around in some capacity though :)

Ah - I think perhaps what I meant wasn't clear. Its not against design - its against Apple. The medium the attack is conducted in is design.

Also, because this is the internet and tone doesn't come through very well, my comment is meant to be a bit tongue in cheek. I think the idea that google wants to conduct eee against Apple using design is just a little too far fetched, though there may be a tiny grain of truth in there somewhere.
> And a lot of people are critiquing our business plan/strategies--which I am grateful for and do actually appreciate--but I didn't really intend for this to be an elaboration of our business and I didn't really write my OP in order to explain how everything works and what all our financials/projections are, rather I wanted advice about moving forward from here.

In order to properly provide advice about the next steps, this context is necessary. If it is costing you $10,000/month to pull in $500/month revenue, then you must begin to consider its viability in its present form and come up with a different revenue model before you go from broke college students to indebted college students.

It sounds like you have already made up your minds about the way you want to go. I would recommend really reading all of the commentary here, because these are all questions that anybody with any money is going to ask, so you should have good answers.
The last time I used polymer was in Dart 1.3 I believe, then I migrated all to "dart:html" and started managing all the DOM events my self, so, I'm afraid I can't give you that information. Btw, thanks for your hard work, I really apreciate it.
Basic things: are there enough chairs, are they compliant with maximum occupancy restrictions of the building, are there enough snacks.

Less basic things: No on said YC Hacks way of getting people in the door is better. It's just the way they're choosing to handle it. YC seems to want to expand the community and this looks like a pretty good way to do it.

Despite the very high bar of getting accepted into the YC program, I don't think YC is trying to be "exclusive" based on excluding people. 90% or more of what pg, sama, and the YC partners tell YC companies can be found online.

Why on earth would you say that? They're just about the cheapest form of loan you can get, and are perfect for OP's needs.
Yeah, we're talking about fully-automated, fully self-repairing facilities that encompass the entire vertical industrial production infrastructure - mining, refinement, raw material production, all the way to assembly of finished good and installation of those goods into the infrastructure.

We're not remotely close to having that on Earth, let alone as self-contained spacecraft.
I would be very interested in seeing a comparison of codecs and bitrates done in this way.
No, it's like luck is the final requirement. It's mostly a given that you've got to grind and try hard and get yourself out there. But after you've done all that, it's a LOT of luck.

People that take it the wrong way are the ones that don't try or just hang around, "because it's all luck". Just like folks that read a paragraph about physics, then decide everything will happen how it happens, so there's no need for them to do anything.
> They're just about the cheapest form of loan you can get

In what sense? Unsecured credit has the absolute highest interest rates, especially for college students. They are no doubt the most convenient, but cheapest is a bit of a stretch.
That makes sense (sort of). Better to use unsigned if you are trying to do modular arithmetic.

Signed integers have some weirdness attached. The number that's one followed by all zeroes in binary (INT_MIN in limits.h) is defined as negative, because the sign bit is set. But, the rules for 2's complement arithmetic predict that -INT_MIN == INT_MIN. So it's not a normal number.
"It doesn't capture the goals of the tea party movement for example." It doesn't have to, it just has to "capture" the reason that the movement gained popularity over any other movement. Theories explain why phenomena occur, it doesn't matter if the people who are part of the phenomena disagree.
I've got a couple of personal projects I've been in the planning stages for, and I decided that it was worth my time to get familiar with Material. I don't think it's too much trouble to have applications behave in consistent ways. One of the things that drives me nuts in the desktop app space is when I hit the 'x' to close a window, and instead it minimizes an application to the system tray. I was going to take the weekend off of designing and planning, but instead I'm going to be neck deep in layouts. :)
This feature, known as DDIO, is only on Intel's Xeon E5 and E7 v2 family CPUs. So, it's not quite ubiquitous yet, nor have there been any announcements on when it will become available (if ever) on the lower Xeon E3 or any of the desktop lines, despite a good amount of information already having been revealed on the next 2-3 generations of processors.
It will be a challenge to make an interpreter for a better language faster than dead slow.

I would bet on a compiler for a better language instead. That way, only one person would have to wait ages and ages. I doubt the result would be fast, but it wouldn't be insanely, insanely, insanely slow, either.
Lying about yourself is generally considered unethical as well. It usually doesn't get you prosecuted (unless you lie to the government for a security clearance or something), but it can and probably will get you fired if your employer finds out, and there have been some high-profile firings in that regard.

I think your confusion comes from the difference between "lying about facts" vs. "telling a story". Facts are things that are independently verifiable - things like your dates & places of employment, degrees conferred, job titles, salary, etc. There are varying degrees of consequences for lying about these - typically, lying about your salary gets at most a little distrust, while lying about your degrees can get you fired - and you can always simply refuse to answer or provide those facts, but lying about them is almost always considered unethical.

However, how you tell the facts is your story, and you can and should paint that in the most positive light. For example, "founder" of a product is usually a complicated title because of the twists and turns all ideas go through. It could legitimately be used to refer to the person who came up with the idea, the person who did the first workable implementation of the idea, the person who first realized an idea was a viable business, the person who contributed the bulk of the money toward making the idea a viable business, the founder of another organization that merged early on into the business in question, etc. And there are famous people who fit into all of those categories - Elon Musk, for example, basically never did the work of reducing an idea to a workable implementation, but he is credited with founding multiple companies where the heavy engineering lifting is done by others. Steve Jobs mostly contributed money and cheerleading to Pixar, but is widely considered a founder of that company.
This seems logical, especially in light of the Aperture news, but I'm not so sure -- all references to the new Photos app, including the demo at WWDC, refer to it as a viewer for your iCloud-stored photos. It's possible that instead of cloud storage being an option added to iPhoto, it is being re-designed as the primary use case, with your Mac as just another iPad-like device that may occasionally cache some local copies of photos as needed. I understand that from a practical point of view in 2014, but I think I'm philosophically against it.
One theory that people often bring up vis-a-vis readability of lisp is that people seem to have a harder time parsing symbols than words (so all the parens makes it harder to look through a file).

Compared to python or coffeescript, it feels like there's a lot less noise

I think that Lisp got a reputation for being unreadable because some Lisp programmers have the tendency to get too far into macros to extend the language, resulting in a language that other developers have not seen before.
Exactly, Hadoop generally refers to the framework and the associated projects built around it. I've been looking into Impala of late, and it's still within the Hadoop ecosystem - the documentation discusses Impala / Hive / Pig interop.
WinRT was not built on the CLR. MS didn't eat it's own dogfood. Divided story between Windows Phone and Windows 8.

The GNU sed manual has examples like that at the end. It always seemed odd to show examples of things that are so awkward and inefficient. If they meant for sed to do those things, presumably they would have made commands for them.
My bad, I was overly huperbolic; of course there are situations situations in which distributed is clearly better. I use git. But I'd say those easily fall in the small minority of situations. Most of the time for most programmers I think, internet access is not an issue.
I had no idea you could swipe between map results! Wow. Talk about undiscoverable; if they had overlayed instructions for me (which they probably did), I probably just dismissed them without reading because I was trying to find my results.

Compared to paths 2 and 3 (incubator or seed round).

I'd say that at this stage of the game, paying some interest is probably much cheaper than giving up a stake of the business. Not least because paying interest is really annoying and will teach you to make better decisions for cash flow, which will better equip you as the business grows and you do consider paths 2 or 3.

Disclaimer: I'm im Australia, it does seem like credit cards don't hate students as much here. We were all approved for decent credit while studying and it's the main reason our startup is going strong on path 1.
Google seems to love using those "mystery meat icons". They should always include a setting for text labels on clickables. Being able to long press or hover for a tooltip would also be a welcomed addition.
Yep, precisely, I get on well with most of my workmates, and we have a few beers on Fridays together, but it's not mandatory.

We're not hiring friends, we're hiring competent people we can get on with. Of all my workmates I'd only really call three of them friends outside of work.

Men benefit directly from how women suffer under gender. Did you read any of the articles? The only reason any of that occurs is for the benefit of the men in the society. The demand is for girls/women to "make themselves sexy," sexy being defined as appealing to straight men's sexuality. The idea of "oppression" has always implied an oppressor class -- attempting to revise the idea as to not include you and I in the class is only expected, though. "Sociologists"? Try Marx.

I don't "favor" any gender expectations. I don't know what you're referring to. The worldwide conception of gender, facets of which is illustrated by the articles, needs to go -- you can read what this would be like in the short essay "Imagining a World without Gender" by Judith Lorber [1].

Hello, golangs channels and go routines have been quite popular with some. So popular that the clojure guys created core.async and even adopted the "go" command(as a nod I'm assuming?). This works in the JVM via clojurescript.. Has the Dart team considered such a system? Was it brought up when planning the await stuff?
Eval is not a good idea because programmers inevitably have trouble with "Little Bobby Tables"[1].

There is a place for eval. Just not in a language which is going to be used on Grandma's devices.

Up until recently due to some issues with build scripts and MSVC parameters our bots building 64-bit SDK on Windows were just silently building 32-binaries. I have fixed[1] it couple of weeks ago, but my fix did not make it into 1.5. Sadly it's not just a build script fix, but also some changes in Dart VM to accommodate for ABI differences, so we decided not to merge. Next release will have 64-bit dart binary on Windows. Bleeding edge SDKs already contain correct version of dart binary.

I remember thinking that Apple would introduce "ink"-like effects at some point after seeing their new design in iOS 7. I'm surprised that Google did it first, and actually did a great job with it.
Basic Lisp is pretty readable. But, ironically, if you dump enough reader macros into your code it becomes very unreadable very quickly.

Most Lisp code I've seen is heavy on the reader macros.
You simply don't understand that context-based communication is the future. Polyword apps are dead, it's inevitable.
This is assuming that someone will buy their stake in the business. It seems to me that there are some holes in the business model, and the traction might be overblown. For instance, the website suggests that the most expensive advertising package is $1,200/year and there are about 75 properties listed on the site. While it is a gorgeous product, it seems to me that they are going to have trouble raising funding in such a competitive industry without much higher numbers.
If the studio had pre-emptively given copies of all its scripts in production to some third party authority, it could avoid the negotiations issue. I'd imagine it doesn't come up enough to warrant this, though.

Caltrain was actually intended to be upgraded as part of a high-speed rail project, but people in peninsular suburbs opposed the upgrade because they feared it would devalue their homes which double in value every decade or something like that.

Further, it has been massively defunded because the largest peninsula employers send their employees on the dirtiest, most disruptive, private means of transit rather than participating in and funding regional transit expansion. A couple years ago something like 1/3 of the caltrain stops were shuttered, and today I hear from friends who ride it that it is bursting at the seams and people are often turned away from boarding trains that are too full.

The peninsula needs to urbanize if peninsula businesses want to attract young talent who want to live in urban areas, but the suburban residents are happy to approve office developments while opposing further housing development.

When people talk about building being restricted in SF, what they don't know is that they're talking about building being restricted on the peninsula.

Also, while there are some areas of SF which have larger homes (hey, some people have kids and do not want to raise them in a studio) and room for cars, even if you presented a very strong argument and accompanying civil planning to further urbanize these areas, in a city where everyone is basically hanging onto their housing by a thread, is your proposal to evict the entire Excelsior and Outer Sunset in order to undertake this change?

Yes, it would be easier to design SF from scratch with no regard for its' current or past residents, but even if you could do this, do you think you could retain demand for housing in san francisco long enough to complete any of this construction?
This.

I started programming in 1984, writing in C64 basic, and didn't move on to C and assembler until 1989 (shortly after borrowing a modem from a friend), simply because I didn't even know such languages existed until then.

There's a staggering amount of (free!) information available nowadays for the budding programmer, to the point where your only major challenge is discerning the good from the bad (and that's easy enough to solve). The biggest accelerator to learning is having a pet project or three.
There's a related test that is far more basic, and more directly relevant to Facebook's bottom line, that must have been studied at some point: does seeing good/negative things in the newsfeed affect a user's re-visit behavior? If I had to take a cynical guess, I would guess that negativity, and even tragedy, would draw people in more...for the same reason that conflict makes both fiction and non-fiction media interesting.

I'm also going to cynically guess that Facebook has probably studied this but probably doesn't find it in their best interest to reveal the optimal mix of emotion.

Although positivity/negativity may be a minor factor compared to the other factors that influence what shows up on your feed...for me, my feed seems to be heavily weighted toward: "the last 20 people you've interacted with on Facebook"

Lots of feminists , haters in the discussion. Anything you disagree is downvoted without consideration. I had joined considering many respected individuals discuss good issues. What a fucked up place now.
My friends and I realize both this, but we draw different conclusions from it. Some of my friends have an attitude of, "we are so lucky to be born with the advantages we have, we should live simply, strive not for material success but just personal fulfillment."

At first I thought that was a great philosophy, to just be content with what you have (look at how little others have!). However, the more I think about it, the the more I realize that this attitude is a waste of an opportunity. We are given such a prime position to make a difference. My attitude is: work hard, strive for success, and use your success to give back and help others in need. I could do the minimum and support just myself and be content, but I could also push myself and make lots of money, and use it to help many people. I guess Gates is the best example of this.

Except for profile picture changes. You see every single bloody profile picture change. Every single one of them.
Totally agree with Andrews reply. And this is just one of the annoyance. Even simple things like uploading a file to GAE will present you with new unecessary challenges.

One thing though, you can use the Django Orm on GAE if you are using Google Cloud SQL as your database instead of the data store that GAE comes with. This will prove more expensive for you though.
