The "private" vs. "public" divide is less binary than your suggesting.

Individuals, corporations, low level government workers, and the government as a collective all have differing access to different types of information. Also, it's not just pieces of information but also the ability to deal with that that's restricted. For example you might look at a few tweets, but twitter rate limits you without paying them a lot of money.

Edit: (removed redundant crap).

Sure, Russia got copy's of the design for both the first Atomic and Hydrogen bombs. So, every country with nuclear weapons can trace their designs back to those same researchers. Yet, even after 10's of thousands of people have seen them (or a derivative design) and 70 years good luck finding detailed documentation on Google.
I don't disagree with your point, but Heavy Rain is a pretty out-there example. The game revolves around rescuing a child from a murderer. Though there were realistic aspects to Heavy Rain, the game itself is centered around a very unrealistic core story.

A lot of places around where I'm at (NYC) get their pies/pastries from a neighborhood bakery. It doesn't seem to me that there is much of a difference between buying a pie from the bakery or buying a slice of it from the restaurant 2 doors down.

I'm also curious how this affects Sous Vide. If they vacuum seal and freeze on site is it still "home made"?
I agree that abortion activists can be zealoted at times, but your statement illustrates precisely why restrictions on the first amendment are exempt from value judgements.

Stifling the speech of someone you categorize as 'crazy' is exactly why the first amendment exists. If everybody wanted to waste their free speech on how cute puppies were, we wouldn't need it.

When kids are stuck in school until their twenties or so with basically no money or independence then most of them are going to be pretty unhappy. As a kid you're trapped in a way most adults are not (except those trapped by poor health or poverty). Changes can be made to improve the situation of an individual kid, but the nature of the situation doesn't change: children have fewer rights and freedoms than adults, in daily life and by law.

As an example (I'm not the guy who you responded to), I've been frustrated in Castro a number of times while looking at an episode in show's feed because the native swipe-back gesture takes you back to the list of shows rather than than that show's feed, and it gets especially annoying considering the lengths of the transitions involved. It's obnoxious, and something one would get used to, but I seem to keep forgetting it. It's one of a few elements of navel-gazing "over"-design… of course the user would follow the steps, they're the steps! They're right there in the design.

You answered a question about comparative scientist competence (which is highly objective, because it's judged on the basis of peer review of published work) with stats about elementary school grades handed out by teachers (which is highly subjective, because it's a virtually unchecked power, almost never judged by any outside auditor), not to mention the difference in age, task, environment -- basically every single criterion is different. It's not a question of liking anything. You're simply trying to move goalposts.

Judging by the various forms of intellectual dishonesty you've attempted thus far, I would gladly do my utmost to prevent anyone the least bit like you from finding employment anywhere near me for as long as I live.

Cool thing about Xtend is that you can actually understand the Java it generates. So once you've used Xtend to generate the Java you can forget about Xtend if you want to. You are not "married" to it.

You can later take a Xtend-generated Java-method and start manually modifying it if needed.

I just wish Xtend had more support from others besides Eclipse. Also I hope it gets its Ant -support to a better shape, maybe it already is. It is simply a smarter simpler way to write Java. And you don't need to go Java 8 to benefit from "Lambdas".

You may want to set your third-party analytics services to be asynchronous, so they aren't a single point of failure for your entire application.

Not a lawyer, but I do have a long-standing interest in trademark law and know a good deal about it.

Courts look at the potential for confusion, which is often avoided if the two companies are in completely different markets, eg Apple Computer complaining about a store that specializes in apple pie and uses the word 'apple' in their business name. Trademark owners essentially have to make a showing of defending their mark or risk being accused of abandonment by someone else who wants to appropriate it, so typically they write a huffy letter, the small business with a vaguely-similar mark protests, and a court or national trademark arbitrator says 'there there, your businesses are totally different and it's OK to have slightly similar names because consumers will be able to tell them apart.'

However it's quite unusual to see two logos that are virtually identical as in this case, and arguably AirBNB is in the business of automating short term lets so there's a possibility of confusion with this firm that offers automation services. The automation firm might have a legitimate complaint for having been using their logo first, but it also depends on which company filed the mark with the USPTO first (which I haven't checked). I'd guess a likely outcome is that AirBnB pays the automation firm some cash to avoid a dispute.

There is zero evidence that Snowden has "collaborated". The articles you link to in your profile are purely opinion pieces.

Are you as harsh in your judgement about the "freedom fighters" of Taiwan who ended up putting into power rather corrupt DPP politicians? That would be unfair, just as your condemnation of Snowden for purely circumstantial connection to China and Russia. He did not give "comfort" to those regimes. You're showing an excessive bias against anyone who shows any association with the regimes of China or Russia. I lived in Taiwan for 5 years so I understand where it is coming from, but it is built on blind hate, it clouds your reasonableness.

Yes & no.

If one takes the position that we do not have enough evidence to come to a particular conclusion (as Lang did), then one takes that position with respect to the information available at a particular time. I don't know at what point Lang last stated such a position. Regardless, he's been dead for nearly 9 years.

AIDS is one of the most studied diseases in all of history; we learn more about it every year. It is certainly possible to state that we know HIV causes AIDS, without disagreeing with with Lang.

> Why does the article say that clocks "appear" to be running differently? Are they running differently? Or they only appear to do so?

Short answer: they are running differently. Complicated answer: I don't think this question really makes sense in relativity.

> If so, what happens when the two participants get closer? Do clocks start "getting in sync"?

No.

> If we had an atomic clock with a mechanism to self-destruct when not running at the original "right" time, does the atomic clock self-destruct? Can it "tell" it is running slower?

There is no "right" time in relativity, only frames of reference.

> In more biological settings (say, a human being) what are the effects of "aging faster"? Is it possible that the body would "not work correctly" under certain gravitational forces because of the effects of time? (i.e. maybe the blood flows faster, just a terrible example, I hope you get the idea).

Relativistic time dilation will have no effect on chemical and biological reactions. But I'm sure there are aspects to our biology that go beyond chemical reactions and actually rely on quantum effects - time dilation might have some effect here? I don't have the answer for this.
I think an even better idea would be yclist.com or total YC websites calculated along with alexa ranking. That would give a great indication of who has been successful or not. Keep in mind YC also gets also significant press than normal startups so its expected that most should do ok at least.

For fun and as a learning experience, I built a simple CL scrapping web site. I set it up on a small aws instance about 6 months ago and after playing around with and making modifications/updates to it over the course of a month or two, I largely forgot about it. After seeing this thread, it dawned on me that I had not received an e-mail update on any of my search alerts for a while. I ssh'ed into the server and got a 403 with 'wget craigslist.com', so my guess is that they are doing some sort of blocking. Looking at the logs, the block probably started about a month ago.
YC's goal is to help startups take first baby steps and raise money on a larger scale.

So most important stat is what % of companies do that. Based on your data it seems (76 + XYZ) out of 716 where XYZ is companies out of 121 exits who raised more money prior to exit.

It'd be interesting to know based on cohort (batch) analysis if YC is getting better in achieving its goal or not.

It'd also be interesting to know where YC stands on this compared to other comparable accelerators/incubators.

by joining the Caml Consortium (very cheap), we got access to the core developers and a yearly face-to-face. We're talking about Xavier Leroy and Damien Doligez here. Do you get that with Java?

What do you find most useful about talking to core OCaml devs? If you were developing in Java, do you think you would see a similar benefit from talking to core Java devs?

How do you find the OCaml standard library compares to standard libraries from other languages? Is it expansive? Do you find yourself reaching for 3rd party libraries frequently (or writing your own)?
I don’t know … I didn’t really know those kids, to this day (I don’t even know their names). I have no idea why they started. I think my frame of mind was mostly set on ignoring that and not even investigating where it came from. Or maybe I just wasn’t very perceptive.

I think I was just grumpy that morning and really didn’t want a vocal confrontation. I suck at those. I can’t deal with them. I wanted to do something else, anything else and driving into them was apparently the only thing I could think of. It kind of worked. (“Full speed” was slight hyperbole.

I meant GCD. The LCD between people on HN is arguably their personhood - but that's not useful, since it's true for every online community. The GCD of HN, on the other hand, has to do with a shared love of problem solving, particularly in fair contests. The website of a library, as opposed to the library itself, is an expression of "a solution", which we can all enjoy (and comment on), even if we don't use it in our work. Therefore website exposition speaks to the GCD of HN members.

I dismissed no allegations. Let me put this as clearly as possible: Assange is a target of multiple powerful intelligence agencies, all with world-class experience executing dirty tricks. Having the figurehead of Wikileaks charged with an abhorrent crime, guilty or not, is very much in the interest of these groups. Not because Assange matters, but because of the backlash you describe in your second paragraph.

Personally, I think they didn't have to lift a hand. Assange discredited himself, with his own actions. But it's an indisputable fact that Assange is the target of one or more agencies whose job it is to conduct internationally-coordinated plots. If you want to ignore the possibility of foul play that's your choice, but don't pretend that you're standing up for truth and justice by making assumptions.

Also, once YC funds a company, they don't care what goal the company originally planned to hit during interviews.

I just used it to work out for 5 minutes since I'm currently 20kg. overweight.

Here's some feedback from someone who actually used your app to work out.

1. On my iPad in horizontal orientation, I had to scroll up and down to see the exercise name and the timer, it was --really-- unintuitive.

2. I want to tap the X Minutes button and have the exercises run one after the other. Having to get up and press the "Start" button for every exercise is really counterproductive.

3. The gifs are really lacking in explanations of certain exercises. Can you use actual videos instead low framerate gifs?

The only structural problem (and its a minor one, since the resulting ambiguity is readily resolvable from context) I see with that is that there are two different possible referents for "they" in the preceding sentence; in this particular case the fact that there are both singular and plural uses of "they" is relevant to why both referents are possible, but you can run into the same ambiguity with gender and number specific pronouns.

Of course, there's no real good reason to use a pronoun there except for an excessive fondness for choppy sentences.

Great idea. To start, why not have the app find episodes that match the user's commute time? For other episodes, an app like Overcast could first apply SmartSpeed and then speed up the entire episode (ie 1.1x) to match the commute time. I'm finding myself looking for good (financial) news podcasts that are < 20 mins per episode.
So famo.us has got a pretty bad reputation, but it's actually a really good idea.
