> there were times when I got completely burnt out as often as once every few days

Hm, maybe we call two different things a burnout. I had it twice, one ending in a visit to ER, the other one blasting a single song at max volume for 20h then crying and trying to quit my job.

I don't think the author actually had one, at least not by my definition of it.

That aside, my main cause of burnouts was working extremely hard on something and not finishing it, for a long time. Or always going after a moving target. Management and goal setting issue, really, and easy one to solve - break huge goals into subgoals, or even - don't have big goals at all.
I'm sick of knowing about things and not jumping in early. So rather than brag that I knew about Ethereum before everyone else did, yet not have any, I figured I'd get some to play with.

> That being said, presumably they set their marketing budget at a point that maximizes their revenue (i.e. the point at which one more marketing dollar fails to bring in more than one more revenue dollar).

That's a lot easier to do when they can get the government and other insurers to pay $1000 a pill for their wares that they have marketed to the public.
Is it enough?

The core of the American legal system is legislating, which is open to anyone who can win an election. Lawyers work within the framework that the legislators create.

It's possible to work on legislation even without winning an election. You can help shape the law by working in a nonprofit that lobbies. Or you can go to work for a legislator. You can go in the front door by becoming an expert on government policy, or in the back door by working on political campaigns.
How wonderful of you to provide link [2] to a real interview, but trying to support kremlin fakes with that link.

personZ understood the sarcasm:

-literal meaning of Spooky23's statement: it's unreasonable to expect ice in the middle of summer.

-sarcastic meaning of Spooky23's statement: it's completely REASONABLE to expect ice in the middle of summer.

personZ acknowledges the sarcastic meaning (that it is reasonable to expect ice in the middle of summer), and is pointing out that based on the article, the guests actually DID in fact receive ice, making Spooky23's sarcastic statement not very relevant; the issue was that they had complaints about the attitude with which it was provided.

Edit: unless perhaps personZ edited his original post.

Wow. The classifier is really impressive. Will it be possible to train your own classifier on your service? I have a lot of clothing items that it would be useful to classify. I tried building my own with opencv, but I haven't had too much luck so far.

We've been very happy with the HelloFax (YC W11) service for some time now.

the response that Solvadi is receiving now is the reason why that research isn't there

This sword cuts both ways. Implicit in your response is that it's the potential income from American medical spending that's driving the investment in research: even if (or maybe because?) the income from other nations that structure health care expenses is used more wisely, it's not sufficient incentive to induce such research.

I started to type up a reply about how burnout tends to be project-related, not the norm, but then the more I thought about it... the more your final statement seems 100% true. Why am I trying to rationalize burnout in this industry? Even if I can explain occasional pushes to complete a project, you are correct.
The End of Industries
If the problem is people booking rooms for their guests and the guests often dislike the rooms, then the solution seems easy: don't let people book rooms for large numbers of guests. Make guests book their own rooms.

These people want to have it both ways. They know they have a problem wherein people are frequently booked as guests and then don't enjoy their stay. But rather than try to avoid this situation (either by fixing what these people dislike, or by turning them away) they want to keep raking in the cash, and just want people to shut up about their experience.

> real reason Poroshenko unilaterally ended the cease-fire on July 1

Real reason was that pro-russian bandits continue to fire on Ukrainian forces despite all the arrangements.

And as for "would decide with whom to negotiate peace" this is absolutely acceptable, because there are a lot of bandit leaders in play and it's hard to understand who's responsible for peace negotiating.
Thanks!

I was initially using eFax but their $16.99/mo fee was waaay too high for my usage, so then I tried to use HelloFax but their sign up form was busted. Ended up with Phaxio while searching for an API to power my own web-based fax app which never materialized after I found the email integration.
Billing on a day rate is a good thing, just don't define day too carefully.

The other alternative is billing on a per-project basis; that gives you precisely no protection against clients wasting your time, or changing your mind, or any number of other things.

I don't find it much fairer to retribute users that work for you using a currency that only makes sense in the universe that you designed and own.

Ideally, users should be cautious in choosing the projects to which their dedicate their interest and enthusiasm (choose those which belong to the community)... Under the assumption that the game cannot be made open source (or that it is impractical to give a share of the game's profit to the contributing users), I imagine that a good solution would be to republish all translations separately under an open license (in case they can be reused, very theoretically, for something else... maybe as an aligned corpus to train a machine translation system), and make sure that the users who contributed are prominently credited.
I'd also like to see "Please Use My Concert Tickets!" because people love taking pictures of them and putting them online for everyone to see.
It's explained further on in the press release. The "quirk" is the same one that causes rolling shutter artifacts in videos: reading the camera's sensor one row at a time, instead of all at once.
Accessibility (probably not so great on a screen-reader,) and SEO (not a proper link with content), I think. Of course, there may be other reasons, too.

Usually my syno is really quiet, you can only hear the drives. But that mining exploit made the cpu > 90% and the fans had to do their job.

So after a quick search, I discovered what it was all about, and some days later Synology released a nice update that got rid of it.

You can't auto update, that's true, but you can receive email alert for each new release of the DSM. You can also do that for each package installed.
So, all in all, that good for me: I don't want my NAS to auto update when I'm not there, as I also usually wait a week or two before updating.
Cameras basically read their sensors one row of pixels at a time. By measuring the distortion of each row, they can detect vibrations higher than the camera's frame rate.

Definitely talk to a lawyer in the U.S. who works with startups. If they incorporated in the same way most startups with investors do, it's a Delaware C-Corp, and lawyers who work with startups will know the nuances of the vesting and options legalities.

I worked with Scott Walker to incorporate my startup. He's very helpful and takes calls without charging (if you listen to This Week in Startups or Mark Suster's Both Sides podcast you'll hear them talk about him in the ads):

The largest issue is that you have to re-create them every time you make a change. You have to create an entire new image, and update the coordinates for the map, which is arduous. They are also not very mobile-friendly, tend to waste a lot of bandwidth on the filler space, and you are somewhat limited in what you can do with the link shapes. It's much more efficient and cleaner to create the elements separately so you can easily update them, and they can scale better. Also, SEO as the other responder mentioned.

I'm certainly not opposed to the regulation of psychedelics (particularly keeping them away from younger children) though I expect the number of deaths which would occur to unregulated use of MDMA, LSD, Psilocybin, Marijuana, Peyote, DMT, Ketamine are pretty minimal.
I don't think McDonald's is a good example, because everyone already knows what it is, and reviews don't serve a useful purpose.

Let's instead imagine some similar non-chain place called O'Brien's. Would it not be useful, when deciding whether or not to go to O'Brien's for dinner, to see a bad review saying, "I didn't like this place, all they had was burgers, and no booze"?
Very cool. I think the patents and funding related problems are largely public policy / IPR legislation related. There are some interesting proposals out there about how to fix the loss of utility caused by the current model. For example, public side could buy patents outright and make them free-to-use.
They want to see ties to your current country, i.e., reasons why you NEED to leave the US to return after your accelerator program is complete. Do you have a lease? Are you a current student?

There could be, but mustn't it be aware of schematics FPGA is soldered into? A secret block to just manipulate flops isn't enough - it must be able to be controlled by someone.

Well, in theory it must not, because it could detect "oh, this looks exactly like one of popular Ethernet cores, so I'll bug onto those pins and have networking", but this seems like a hard task. Or, well, it could be that every pin is hooked and a secret block awaits a specifically crafted code (somehow like port knocking), but I'm not sure this is a feasible approach.
You definitely want a lawyer, but on the face of it, this is an aggressive move by your partners. The start of a fair negotiation would be equal pro-rata dilution. So if it was 45/45/10, and you want to make 12% in the options pool, you should get diluted 12%, just like them.

That would mean they'd go down to 39.6% and you would go down to 8.8%.

Since you're remote and the company is growing, I would personally expect real problems on the horizon.

Finally, exercising your options is most likely a good plan; options often expire after someone leaves.

I think a general theory of it is that once in a while somebody comes up with something people really value and it expands the market and then me too competitors pile in and soon it looks like what you say.

The way to make it BIG is to find an untapped market and be the first to really serve it.

One example I would look at is that health and fitness trackers are crowded but a lot of suffering and lost productivity is caused by chronic pain of various sorts, there is no safe and effective drugs, no end of scams, but perhaps it is the kind of problem, like cystic fibrosis, that can be defeated with intensivity. For instance if you see a physiotherapist he or she might do the right things but only 1/10 as much as you need.

Apologies for the tangential question, but how does one find the public key for (something like) datamash?

Downloaded: datamash-1.0.6.tar.gz and datamash-1.0.6.tar.gz.sig

Then did:

gpg --verify datamash-1.0.6.tar.gz.sig datamash-1.0.6.tar.gz

Which results:

gpg: Signature made Tue 29 Jul 2014 03:30:23 PM PDT using RSA key ID 3657B901
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

Where can one import that public key, and is it the public key for datamash or gnu?

There's a lot of evidence that minimizing dimensions--even to the point of getting rid of obviously relevant ones--generally works best. Though Zagat does have food, decor, service, and cost so it can work especially when you're focused on a single thing. It gets harder when you're rating different things that span different dimensions. Amazon, for example, obviously just has a star system and DVD reviews are this sorta annoying mix of reviews of the movie and reviews of the specific DVD product.

So it's like if 960-row video at 60fps were actually a 57600 rows-per-second video, right? Which they can extract info from because having more rows in a still frame doesn't mean having more information (at least not linearly), i.e. in still frames with no rolling shutter, rows contain redundant vibration already extracted from previous rows.

So having a rolling shutter is good for this specific application because it trades off resolution (most of which is redundant or insignificant information) for sampling rate.
It is now, that's what makes it so awesome!
You're right, not all of them will succeed. Most will fail, in a proportion greater than 80% of all funded projects. In the consumer space, this is an even higher number.

The thing is, it's impossible to know in advance with certainty which will fail and which will succeed. But the ones that do succeed create an enormous return on all that sweat and money. Investors try to pick winners, but even then it's acknowledged that the majority of even the best portfolio will not make a large return.

From the founder's point of view, building something on your own that people genuinely want is an amazing education - even a small amount of success makes a founder far more valuable and goes a long way to expanding their possibilities to try again.

How about "I appreciate your desire to have more stock available to give new hires. You've proposed that I give up 4%, which is 40% of my allocation. I'm amenable to giving up 1%, which is 10% of my allocation and equal to the portion which you're willing to give up, and lets us bring in a whole new engineer."

If they counter offered, I might give up another 0.5% in return for "OK, you guys can have 1.5%, but in return the company rescinds your repurchase right with regards to 3%." (i.e. We accelerate vesting.)

This is a negotiation. Nothing you say results in you owning less than 6% of this newly valuable company, right? No need to agree to the proposal in front of you just because it is in front of you.
If they want to issue out new shares for employees, then they can simply issue new shares. This will dilute the existing shares but not by 40%. More like 11%

They cannot simply take away from you that's your.. Unless they have stated otherwise somewhere.

So just talk with them and maybe you misunderstood something.
Thanks! Typo made it HN last summer, so here's a response to your question on motivation[0]. Also, the 'cat' thing has come up before. Here's my response to that[1] as well. But now that I'm rereading my response it doesn't seem clear what I mean. The README for the language demonstrates how you can use shell grouping as a poor man's module system. When you do that, you have to use 'cat' on single files in certain situations. So I stuck with 'cat' for the simple example so it's consistent with the more complex examples. If you take a look at the typo script[2] that wraps the compiler, you'll see that I know when to use redirects and when to use 'cat'. But regardless of all that, I think most modern machines can spare an extra process.

Presumably the post you just linked to
Instead the supreme court ruled it was okay to let people be sick and/or die if they couldn't afford it.

You mischaracterize the ruling. What the ruling said was the the federal government isn't allowed to coerce the states as it was trying to do.

Moreover, you're making the mistake of working backwards. You're starting from what you want the outcome to be. With that baseline, you then determine what the court should rule.

But surely you took enough classes in school about American history and civics to understand that this isn't how the American government works. There's a system of laws that determines what the government is allowed to do; if what it wants to do isn't permitted in that framework, then it's not allowed to do that.

Your desire to see a particular outcome - even if that outcome is agreed on by all to be a morally superior one - does not enable our government to take actions it isn't given the authority to execute.

(and apologies for wandering a bit astray into more concrete politics...)

A belief that we ought to ignore the legal framework and instead focus on what is sold to us as "a practical view" is the way that we get to such governmental actions as Guantanamo Bay and prisoner torture.
